Reviews of Sausage Tree Camp
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
A good variety of activities
A very luxurious camp with lots to do, helpful staff and very good guides - George and Marshall. The mangement coped amazingly well as we were there during the Zambian elections and they managed to keep a full camp happy and occupied despite having half their staff away voting.
The river trips and game drives were good, with Marshall managing to track down a good leopard sighting during a night drive, and seeing a roan antelope from the river - although unfortunately it was standing in Zimbabwe. The highlights were probably our canoe trip to the airport on the last morning and the final night drive with George when we just sat quietly by a waterhole with our sundowners watching all the game sorting themselves out for night-time.
The rooms were lovely and very well equipped (useful to have an extra set of good binoculars provided), and a drink in the pool or our outdoor bath proved a nice way to cool off in the afternoons whilst watching the activities on the river. The food was good and very well presented.
Sausage Tree Camp review
After all the superb experiences already enjoyed we had not expected to be quite so stunned by our stay at STC. We were upgraded to the honeymoon suite which was big enough to host a reception! It was beautifully set up - stunning in every way, especially the very refreshing plunge pool!
George and Merle were perfect hosts and the guides were also quite excellent - thanks James and Mike. This was the first time on our trip when we had the same guides whether we were walking, canoeing or on drives and it was a great idea. The food was delicious and having lunch on a sand bank in the middle of the Zambezi was a magical memory - thanks Merle. Arnold, our Muchinda, was kindness and thoughtfulness itself.
A great Zambezi side Camp
An otherwise excellent impression was marred by a river cruise which had been specifically organised for us to go birdwatching and adding two more people who were interested in river views and elephants and a third person who was only interested in the sound of her own voice. No attempt was made to advise us of the new arrangements.
The manageress, Nikkie, accepted that we had been badly dealt with and apologised unreservedly and the following day was back to normal. The fact remains that one daylight part of the evening game drive was lost.
Specific congratulations are due for the best lighting on the holiday; it was high enough to be useful.
Sausage Tree Camp review
We loved Sausage Tree.
Nicci and Alan were great hosts.
Our room was very luxurious and our muchidja took good care of us.
Charles was a great guide.
a warm welcome back to Sausage Tree
Undoubtedly the best camp we've visited anywhere in the world. While the range of game may be better in other parts of Africa, we see a good & varied amount here. What makes Sausage Tree so special is the location on the Zambezi River, with all the hippos, elephants, etc visiting and the opportunity to canoe or go on boat cruises. The tents are lovely -- well-planned and luxurious and full of lovely touches. But the highlight are the amazing people running it.
All the guides are engaging and pleased to chat, Alan and Nicci run the camp flawlessly -- nothing fazes them and their knowledge of Africa, wildlife, hospitality profession, mechanics, etc just boggle. They were head & shoulders above any camp managers we met.
Our guide Chris was not only knowledgable, but could sense what interested us and was a good judge at how long to stay at a site, what sort of information to give. He also explained a lot of his approach so we better understood the guide's job and because of that, we built a strong relationship.
The attention to detail -- be it in the rooms, or dining area/bar are amazing. Everything Sausage Tree does is to the highest standard. Perhaps the only point that lets them down was the food -- quality was good, but needs more variety and less emphasis on red meat (we had steak-lamb-steak on three consecutive nights). That has been changed now to a menu where you have choices of starters & mains, etc. That will help.
This was our second time at Sausage Tree, and I think it holds a more special place in our hearts than before. They certainly are the most professional and comprehensive safari camp we've been with.
Sausage Tree
True elegance on the banks of the Zambezi. We were lucky enough to share this camp with just one other (honeymoon) couple after the first night. The location can't be beaten, and a constant stream of elephants crossing the river provide for regular entertainment.
Superb chalets, with a lot of storage space and places to lay out of the camera gear. Nicci and Alan were superb and attentive hosts - and we loved the story about the honey badger and the box of wine! Real Africa hands with a wealth of experience and anecdotes and a pleasure to be with. Hastings was an excellent guide bringing a lifetime of experience to the drives, while Victor shared a wealth of knowledge during a morning walk in the bush. James was a great spotter.
Claver (? spelling) was the most attentive "muchinda" you could ever ask for. His wry smile when we told him "10 minutes" for an evening collection from the chalet for dinner didn't give away the candlelit path through our bedroom to the bathroom when we opened the chalet door, nor the already prepared bubble bath - he knew we'd be more than 10 minutes! Highlights - sitting in the middle of the huge buffalo herd; the leopard sightings, and the lion bellowing as the sun went down.
But for pure experience, lunch on one of the reed covered snadbanks, with our feet dangling in the Zambezi river, would take a lot of beating. Even in October, the area seemed greener than South Luanga, and the bush was definitely denser. Personally, we would have liked to have spent a little more time just sitting out at the water holes and lagoons watching what appeared, but this is a minor comment, based on nearly two weeks bouncing about in a Land Cruiser, on what was an excellent finale to our Zambian excursion.
Sausage Tree Camp review
Sausage Tree was a brilliant way to end our honeymoon and the honeymoon suite was fabulous (the pool much appreciated in the midday heat!). Nickki and Allan made great hosts and everyone involved was very friendly and helpful.
This is a great camp for water based activities as well as the usual game drives. One highlight was a morning canoe trip with Marshall as our guide - it gave a very different perspective on the wildlife and was wonderfully peaceful. They also do a wonderful lunch in the river itself.

Sausage Tree Camp review
Out of Africa with luxury, elephants holding us hostage, canoeing on the Zambezi, great birding, superb guiding and an unbelievable experience of dining in the river.
Small moan about quality of equipment and staffing of fishing trip which were not good.
Sausage Tree Camp review
Sausage Tree Camp was just fantastic and I could not in anyway fault the accommodation, food, entertainment, Game Drives and accommodation. It was pure perfection.
There were four hosts being David and Tash, who are leaving at the end of the season and Alan and Nikki who are taking over from them. They were all excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble.
We just had the most wonderful time and regret that we were only there for a week.
Again no postcards!
I am concerned to hear that there are plans to develop the camp further and the room that I had is to be converted into a two story room. I fear that there is a risk that Sausage Tree could become over developed and the luxury that would be offered in the future could bring it out of the price range of its current clientele. Only the very wealthy could then afford to stay there and the whole atmosphere of the camp would change. This was a general concern of all of us who were staying there and was also shared by a number of the staff and guides.
The whole palace was perfection, although I do understand the necessity to keep up to the competition of other camps in the area. What I am saying it would be a terrible shame to see this place change in any way. It is pure perfection.
If I do have just one concern that is that there is a very old Land Rover that takes one from the plane to the river to join the boat for the majority of the journey to camp. There was no problem as far as we were concerned, but one day the Land Rover did break down and the guests were delayed in reaching the camp. If this were to happen on the final journey from camp the guests were to miss their connecting flights, and as you know there is only a short time between the arrival from camp into Lusaka airport and the connecting flight to London Heathrow. If guests missed the flight to London because the old land Rover broke down then this could be a problem for everyone involved.
I can't wait to go back there as it is the best location that I have ever stayed at andwas just out of this world.

Welcome to PennsylvaniaDutchGirl.com.
My quilting career kicked in a bit late in life. I started quilting in 2006 at the insistence of my friend SueAnn, who convinced another friend, Myra, and I that we should take a quilting class. I didn't even have a sewing machine! So I went to Target, bought an $80 Singer and took the class. We made a rag quilt. What fun! I was hooked. I made one after another and finally after about half a dozen of them, I started making pieced quilts. Even more fun!!!

The effect of thickness uniformity and distortion on the performance of large-aperture Fabry-Perot etalon filters is investigated. It is shown that for etalons currently being used for solar observation it is important to consider the effect of distortion due to mounting and to gravity when in use. It is further shown that the effects of distortion can be largely avoided by operating the etalon at or near normal incidence.

text: I want to catalog shows and basically build a page for each show and have their history, cover art, and stuff like a wiki page. I want to be able to categorize them by genre (i.e. comedy, education...etc). I am not really sure the best way to go about this that will look good, easy navigation, and easy to edit/create. I figure I would eventually have to build-out thousands of pages if I ever get a way to add a significant amount of shows. I checked out XenCarta, Better Blogs, and eZine, and Waindigo's article addon. The eZine was a hefty price for addon and copyright removal, Waindigo's copyright rules seem difficult to manage (I would only use addons I can remove copyrights on), Better Blogs seem very unsupported, and XenCarta I don't know much about. It seems good, but I don't have the comfort level that it would accomplish my goals. Did I perhaps miss an addon? Anyone currently do this with their forum? I would love to see examples. One main concern is that I don't want to have to build a page in Dreamweaver (HTML) or something else and copy and paste it in the editor. I would like an addon that I could manage with a wysiwyg. I would also eventually like a core group of users to be able to add pages as well. Any direction, corrections in my assumptions or anything else would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

The biomechanical demands of standing yoga poses in seniors: The Yoga empowers seniors study (YESS)
Clinical research
The number of older adults participating in yoga has increased dramatically in recent years; yet, the physical demands associated with yoga performance have not been reported. The primary aim of the Yoga Empowers Seniors Study (YESS) was to use biomechanical methods to quantify the physical demands associated with the performance of 7 commonly-practiced standing yoga poses in older adults.
20 ambulatory older adults (70.7 + − 3.8 yrs) attended 2 weekly 60-minute Hatha yoga classes for 32 weeks. The lower-extremity net joint moments of force (JMOFs), were obtained during the performance of the following poses: Chair, Wall Plank, Tree, Warrior II, Side Stretch, Crescent, and One-Legged Balance. Repeated-measure ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc tests were used to identify differences in JMOFs among the poses. Electromyographic analysis was used to support the JMOF findings.
There was a significant main effect for pose, at the ankle, knee and hip, in the frontal and sagittal planes (p = 0.00 – 0.03). The Crescent, Chair, Warrior II, and One-legged Balance poses generated the greatest average support moments. Side Stretch generated the greatest average hip extensor and knee flexor JMOFs. Crescent placed the highest demands on the hip flexors and knee extensors. All of the poses produced ankle plantar-flexor JMOFs. In the frontal plane, the Tree generated the greatest average hip and knee abductor JMOFs; whereas Warrior II generated the greatest average hip and knee adductor JMOFs. Warrior II and One-legged Balance induced the largest average ankle evertor and invertor JMOFs, respectively. The electromyographic findings were consistent with the JMOF results.
Musculoskeletal demand varied significantly across the different poses. These findings may be used to guide the design of evidence-based yoga interventions that address individual-specific training and rehabilitation goals in seniors.
Clinical trial registration
This study is registered with NIH Clinicaltrials.gov #NCT 01411059
Yoga is an increasingly popular form of exercise activity for older adults, with senior participation in the US currently estimated at approximately 1 million practitioners
A primary aim of the YESS project was to quantify the physical demands associated with performance of the individual poses (asanas). And although an examination of individual yoga poses does not address the additional pantheon of attributes also associated with yoga practice, (e.g. breathing, meditation, chanting), ultimately this information can be used to design programs that are well-balanced, target a variety of functionally important muscle groups, and do not repeatedly overload the same musculoskeletal and articular tissues. Additionally, this information can be used to specifically target weak muscle groups and/or unload injured and healing structures. Like other exercise activities, the physical demands associated with yoga participation can be quantified by using biomechanical methods to estimate the net joint moments of force (JMOFs) and muscular activation patterns generated during performance of asanas
The current report describes the lower-extremity physical demands (as measured by the JMOFs and electromyography [EMG]) associated with the performance of 7 standing yoga asanas that are commonly taught in senior yoga classes. The data are from the YESS study, which was a single-arm, non-masked, pre-post, intervention development study. A set of pre-specified, introductory poses were taught for 16 weeks, followed by 16 weeks of an intermediate pose series
Study design
YESS consisted of a 32-week yoga program with 2 phases: a 16-week beginning phase (
YESS was designed to design and test senior-adapted Hatha yoga poses intended to be suitable for ambulatory older adults. The study sample size was determined by power analysis (β = 0.8; p < 0.01) using the JMOF findings from a previous study
Yoga program
Participants attended 2 60-minute yoga sessions per week, for 32 weeks. The yoga program was developed by the research team, which included an experienced yoga therapist (RYT-500), a geriatrician, an exercise physiologist/biomechanist, and a physical therapist. In general, the program was an adapted form of Hatha yoga
Kinematics and kinetics
Reflective markers were placed on a head band and over the following anatomical landmarks of the lower- and upper-extremities bilaterally: first and fifth metatarsal heads, malleoli, femoral epicondyles, greater trochanters, acromions, greater tubercles, humeral epicondyles, radial and ulnar styloid processes, and third metacarpal heads. Markers were also attached to the spinous process of the 7th cervical vertebrae (C7), jugular notch, L5/S1, bilateral iliac crests, and bilateral posterior superior iliac spines, in order to define the trunk and pelvis. Based on these markers, a total of 15 body segments were modeled: the head, trunk, pelvis, the upper arms, forearms, hands, thighs, shanks, and feet. Non-collinear tracking marker plates were placed on each of these segments to track segmental position during the poses, using previously documented procedures
Once instrumented, the subjects performed their poses while guided by the yoga instructor (Figure

EMG signal of the Vastus Lateralis during performance of the Crescent pose. Data analysis was conducted on the middle 3 seconds (between solid lines), during the static portion of the pose (between dashed lines).
Three-dimensional coordinates of the body segments were recorded by an 11-camera system at 60 Hz (Qualisys, Gothenburg, Sweden). Ground reaction forces were measured from separate force platforms at 1560 Hz (AMTI, Watertown, MA). Data processing software (Visual 3D, C-Motion, Inc. Germantown, MD) was used to process the raw coordinate data and compute the segmental kinematics. The principle moments of inertia were determined from the subject's total body weight, segment geometry, and anthropometric data. Using standard inverse dynamics techniques consistent with the International Society of Biomechanics recommended coordinate systems, the JMOFs in the sagittal and frontal planes, for the ankle, knee and hip, were calculated from the inertial properties, segmental kinematics, and ground reaction forces
Electromyography (EMG)
Surface EMG signals of the gluteus medius (GMED), hamstrings (HAMS), vastus lateralis (VL), and gastrocnemius (GAS) muscles were collected using active surface electrodes (Motion Lab Systems, Baton Rouge, LA). Data from the dominant limb were recorded at 1560 Hz. Standard procedures for older-adult participants including preparation of the skin and electrode placement were employed
Data analysis
Visual inspection was used to select the top 4–5 ranked poses for statistical comparison, across each joint, plane of motion, and direction. Parametric distribution of the JMOFs was confirmed by analyzing the skewness and kurtosis of the data. Repeated-measure ANOVA omnibus tests were used to identify significant differences in the JMOFs within each cluster of the top 4–5 ranked poses. When the results were significant, Tukey's post-hoc tests were used to examine the pairwise comparisons. Additionally, Cohen's d effect sizes (small
Twenty participants (6 men and 14 women) completed the 32-week program and attended the biomechanical data collection of the Series II poses. Their average age, height, weight, and body mass index was 70.7 ± 3.8 years, 1.67 ± 0.07 m, 71.3 ± 14.6 kg, and 25.3 ± 4.1 kg/m2, respectively.

This study newly characterizes the physical demands of 7 standing yoga poses in a sample of older adults who had been trained for 32 weeks. We quantified the JMOFs associated with the performance of these yoga poses (10 including Leading and Trailing limbs). A significant main effect for pose was found across all of the JMOFs examined, suggesting significantly different musculoskeletal demands among the top 4–5 ranked poses.
Support moment
The Crescent Leading, Chair, Warrior II Leading and One-legged Balance poses generated the greatest support moments and these were appreciably greater than the peak support moment associated with self-selected walking. Poses which generate a relatively high support moment may be thought of as good "comprehensive" asanas because they simultaneously target 3 functionally important muscle groups which prevent collapse of the center of mass during standing and walking—the hip extensors, knee extensors, and ankle plantar-flexors
Sagittal plane JMOFs
The Side Stretch Leading pose generated the greatest hip extensor and knee flexor JMOFs. Consequently, this pose would be a good selection for targeting the hamstring muscles—which both extend the hip and flex the knee during concentric actions. Among all the poses examined, the highest level of EMG activation of the hamstrings was observed during Side Stretch Leading. The Crescent Trailing pose was associated with the largest hip flexor and knee extensor JMOFs. Thus, this pose would be a good selection for targeting the quadriceps muscles and hip flexors (iliacus, psoas major, and the hip adductors). Moreover, this asana would be an ideal pose for training of the rectus femoris muscle, a biarticular knee extensor
Frontal plane JMOFs
The Tree pose generated the greatest hip and knee abductor JMOFs; whereas, Warrior II generated the greatest hip and knee adductor JMOFs. The frontal JMOFs during Warrior II were also greater than the peak JMOFs generated during self-selected walking. Several studies have quantified the relations among hip abductor performance, osteoarthritis progression
Our findings regarding the frontal-plane JMOFs about the knee may have exceptionally important implications for instructors and clinicians designing programs for individuals with knee pain and/or pathology. Load demands in the frontal plane of the knee joint are primarily supported by passive structures (i.e. ligaments and the joint capsule), and not by muscle. Moreover, high frontal-plane JMOFs at the knee are associated with high compressional forces on the opposite side of the joint
Across all poses, the JMOFs at the ankle were smaller than the average peak JMOF produced during self-selected walking. Only Crescent Trailing and Warrior II Trailing poses generated ankle abductor JMOFs. Large ankle adductor JMOFs were observed with One-legged Balance and Tree. Both ankle invertor and evertor strength are important for balance and safe ambulation, and they are related to performance in the timed up-and go test and Berg Balance Scale
Although net JMOFs have been used to quantify the musculoskeletal demands associated with a variety of exercise activities
When comparing the JMOFs generated during the yoga poses with the average peak JMOF generated during walking, it is important to consider that walking is a cyclic activity in which the JMOFs increase and decrease during a gait cycle. Thus, we calculated and recorded the
We were able to quantify the lower extremity physical demands of 7 commonly practiced, minimally modified (from standard forms) standing yoga poses. This is a first step in the design of

First single from Akimoto Yasushi's adult only group23 November, 2010 by Chad
GAGAGA, SDN48's first ever single will be released tomorrow. Supported by Universal Music, SDN48 hopes to take the rest of Asia by storm with a simultaneous release in both Korea and Japan.
For those unfamiliar with the group, SDN48 is the "adult only" sister group to AKB48. With the release of GAGAGA, SDN48 will flaunt their mainstream "sexy" direction, not unlike the norm in the Korean pop scene now. Akimoto's decision to market the girls to a more mature audience is probably a step in the right direction as SDN48 will be able to appeal to a board public audience without competing with AKB48's existing share of the market.
The single draws inspiration from recent K-pop tunes. Korean phrases are added into GAGAGA's lyrics and the performance features a simple dance "hook", a trait that proved phenomenally popular for K-pop. SDN48 was recently in Korea, where they collaborated with 4minute to promote both groups' singles.
GAGAGA will be released as a CD+DVD with two (hardly) different covers, as well as a Theater version only available from at their headquarters in Akihabara. First press copies of the single will include tickets for a handshake session or in the case of the theater version, an event where fans will be able to take photos together with their favorite member.
Personally, I'm definitely enjoying the song after having only listened to it a few times. The dance influences are a nice departure from the usual pop fare and the video manages to showcase the group's sexy theme without being overly gaudy. We'll see how the Japanese and Korean public feel soon enough.Click here to search CDJapan for GAGAGA and other related items.

The first time i listen to this song i cant figure it language XD
Really good sales for a first single yup. The song is really catch and I do enjoy it, not very keen on the whole elbow dance move since it looks kind of silly but the foot work is great.
oh ya, and sho, can you do like a full expose on sdn48, like you did with akb48, like who the popular members are, their names etc. Thnx
It's one of the numerous posts on my to do list. Look forward to it in the months to come 🙂

Sunbury Vacation Packages
Sunbury is located approximately 140 miles (225 kilometers) from Washington, the capital of the United States of America, and about 40 miles (64 kilometers) from Harrisburg - Hershey.
To understand why so many tourists go for Northeastern Pennsylvania as a place to holiday, make sure you and your family see a bit more of the many scenic and cultural attractions around Sunbury. While you're in the area, check out the Susquehanna University and Selinsgrove Speedway in and around Selinsgrove, another place in the United States of America, some 6 miles (10 kilometers), away from Sunbury. Lewisburg is another spot worth checking out. Here you'll find the Packwood House Museum and Bucknell University. Lewisburg is approximately 8 miles (13 kilometers) away from Sunbury.
While you are in Sunbury, don't forget to spend a few hours exploring Hershey. Approximately 40 miles (64 kilometers) away, this regional transport and shopping hub is where you can find Hershey's Chocolate World, Giant Center and Antique Auto Museum. Hershey Gardens, Hersheypark Stadium and Hershey Theater are other good places to visit.
Take a break from traveling and spend a relaxing afternoon rafting or boating. The Northeastern Pennsylvania area provides visitors plenty of laid-back activities, such as wildlife watching and camping.
If you plan on traveling by plane, it's handy to remember that the most convenient major airport is Williamsport Regional Airport, 25 miles (40 kilometers) to the north of Sunbury.


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Allegheny Technologies ( ATI) and Yanzhou Coal Mining ( YZC) rallied higher; Coeur d'Alene Mines ( CDE), IAMGOLD ( IAG) and Stillwater Mining ( SWC) showed weakness.Allegheny Technologies led the pack of gainers, rising 6% last week. Yanzhou Coal Mining followed, accumulating 2%. Last week, it was known that the coal company is bidding for Australian mining firm Whitehaven Coal, valued at around $3.7 billion. A few coal companies ended in the green last week after Consol Energy ( CNX) recorded higher-than-estimated coal production in the first quarter, thereby raising its annual coal target. Also, JP Morgan raised its price target for coal producers like Arch Coal ( ACI), International Coal Group ( ICO), Peabody Energy ( BTU) and Consol, primarily on the back of higher coal prices. Another coal company, Westmoreland Coal ( WLB), rose 1.5% at the end of last week. Meanwhile, Carpenter Technology ( CRS) edged up 0.6% after the company announced to raise its base prices on stainless and specialty alloys between 3% and 5%, effective for orders placed on or after April 15. Among metal and mining stocks, most declined past week as commodity prices eroded significant value during trading. Gold and silver stock Coeur d'Alene Mines was at the helm of losers, declining 14.7%. Following suit, IAMGOLD slipped 13.1%. The company recently announced that it is selling its 19% stake in Tarkwa and Damang gold mines in Ghana to South African mining giant Gold Fields for $667 million. This stake sale will create value for its shareholders through higher cash and cash equivalents of $1 billion. Also, Zacks Investment Research reaffirmed its neutral rating on the stock. Solitario Exploration & Royalty ( XPL) eroded 12.9% during the past week after it was downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to sell due to its feeble growth in earnings per share, weak operating cash flow, and poor profit margins. The company last week priced its underwritten public offering of 3.4 million shares of common stock at $2.50 per share. As gold and silver prices pulled back from their respective highs tracking oil prices, majority of mining and commodity stocks also dropped. Stillwater Mining erased 12.6%, while Mines Management ( MGN) lost 12.3%. Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold ( FCX) declined 10.6%. Meanwhile, the company went ex-dividend on April 13, 2011 with shareholders eligible for a dividend of 25 cents per share. The company is scheduled to release its first quarter 2011 earnings on April 18, 2011 with earnings per share estimated at $1.26, compared to $1.03 in the year-ago quarter. With silver prices slumping early last week, silver stocks shed most of their accumulated gains. Pan American Silver ( PAAS), Silver Wheaton ( SLW) and MAG Silver ( MVG) dropped 10.7%, 9.2% and 9%, respectively, during the past week. As commodity prices spiraled down last week, copper stocks such as Teck Resources ( TCK) and Southern Copper ( SCCO) eroded 9.4% and 8.5% in value, respectively.

The nights are interminably long and the days short and dismal; conditions are cold, wet, windy or icy. Winter brings with it weather to test even the hardiest Northern Hemisphere dweller and unless you have the luxury of ample land and year-round turnout, your horse is likely to be spending long hours stabled at this time of year.
While you are sitting in front of a warm fire or sleeping under a cosy duvet, spare a thought for your horse, who, by being stabled for hours at a time, could be feeling pretty bored — and maybe a little depressed. Some horses develop vices when they are stabled for long periods, such as crib biting and wind sucking.
So what can you do to help alleviate the tedium of long hours spent in a box, and maybe prevent a nasty habit developing?
Give him as large a stable as possible — maybe move him elsewhere if there is a larger box available.
Horses are herd animals and generally enjoy company. Your equine partner will be happier if he can look over his door and see stablemates. If the box is big enough and your horse particularly lonely, would he be happier with a small companion in situ?
Take him out as often as possible. If the conditions make riding unsafe, see if he can spend an hour turned out in the school or, if he is injured, take him for a walk in hand.
Offer him plenty of forage in a haynet. While many experts believe that you should feed from the floor, a haynet with small holes will ensure that your horse will trickle feed and be kept occupied by munching for far longer.
There are abundant stable toys on the market these days, some of them edible. You can also make your own, such as threading a rope through a ball, an apple, a swede, etc, and suspending it from a high point in the stable. Some horses love to play apple bobbing, and others enjoy kicking a ball around for amusement. Use your imagination to find something your horse loves — but ensure that it is safe.
Place a lick in the stable — a slightly different concept from stable toys in that these provide a variety of minerals and nutrients, especially salt, which he may lack in his diet. By suspending the lick on a rope in the stable, you immediately have a toy and one of his 'five a day' rolled into one.
Some people claim that the installation of a mirror in a horse's stable will work wonders and make him happier and calmer, as well as helping to reduce serious stable vices.
Horses are intelligent creatures and yours may really enjoy the challenge of learning something new — with a treat thrown in when he does things right of course.
Most horses love a bit of pampering — and it will help to while away the time
Winter is the time to snuggle up with a good book, by which we don't mean 50 Shades, but more 50 ways to improve your riding. These dark months are the perfect time to indulge in a little equestrian homework when the mucking out and feeding are finished.
To ensure that your fitness levels don't take a hit, use the time wisely and join a gym, swim and sign up for a pilates class so that your core is no longer ineffective but strong and toned so that you will be beautifully stable in the saddle come the spring.
Clear out and clean the tackroom; give some of that tired old tack a bit of a soaping to make it spring back to life and once all the hard work is done, crack open a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, put your feet up and relax. You deserve it.

Occupy Denver: Five people hospitalized for exposure to the cold
Update, 3:11 p.m. October 26: Occupy Denver's most recent report, via its Twitter account, is that a total of five people have been hospitalized within the past day.
The group is urging people to contact Mayor Michael Hancock's office to advocate on behalf of protesters using tents to stay warm in Civic Center Park.
Original post: After sleeping in the season's first major snowfall, two Occupy Denver protesters were hospitalized overnight due to exposure. Although the low temperature was augmented by frequent coffee and cocoa donations and the camp's entire supply of tarps and blankets, it proved too much for the two, who were taken to Denver Health when they became ill from the cold.
One of the hospitalized volunteers suffers from diabetes, which contributed to the condition. "It was just too cold for them to stay outside in this weather," volunteer Neil Therrell says. "It was tough for the rest of us, but we made it through."
Two occupiers wake up surrounded by snow in front of Civic Center Park.

The scene as the protesters woke up under tarps covered in snow this morning featured a smaller gathering than usual. A decrease in size could also decrease public attention for the occupation, if fewer people are physically occupying. "Our size already decreased from eighty to twenty overnight," Therrell says. "People don't want to or can't handle this cold. I'm not worried about maintaining a presence, though, because I know that people will stay if they care. And we care."
Craftier protesters have made use of donated plastic grocery bags as guards to keep water from infiltrating their shoes, but dry socks are a rarity. One activist held up a sign this morning asking for donated dry socks, but the poster's thin green marker lines were quickly eclipsed by the snow.
Occupy Denver's kitchen, the Thunderdome, is covered by tarps to protect food items from the weather.
Kelsey Whipple
The group is currently out of propane used to heat things on its camping stove, and donations of Starbucks quickly turn cold outdoors. Groups are gathering to decide which donated items are recoverable after damage from the snow, and while the plan fluctuates back and forth on the issue of tents, this morning's weather has established them as a necessity despite police interaction like the one last night, volunteers say.
"In other cities, occupations have put up tents over and over, as many as three or five times, and the police stop messing with them and realize they need them, it seems," Therrell says. "We just have to keep asking for tents and then setting them up because we can't risk extreme exposure to the elements."

By Tara Burghart, Associated Press
CHICAGO Coming soon: Brood XIII. It sounds like a bad horror movie. But it's actually the name of the billions of cicadas expected to emerge this month in parts of the Midwest after spending 17 years underground.
The red-eyed, shrimp-sized, flying insects don't bite or sting. But they are known for mating calls that produce a din that can overpower ringing telephones, lawn mowers and power tools.
Brood XIII is expected across northern Illinois, and in parts of Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana. Cicadas live only about 30 days as adults, and their main goal is mating.
They don't harm humans, although they are clumsy and might fly into people. Birds, squirrels and pets, especially dogs, love to eat them, and they are high in protein.
"They're going to have quite a meal. It's going to be like Thanksgiving for them," said Tom Tiddens, supervisor for plant health care at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
They are periodical cicadas, which are only found in the eastern half of North America. The annual, or dog-day cicadas, that appear every summer are common around the world.
The last massive emergence of periodical cicadas was in 2004, when Brood X emerged after 17 years underground in parts of 15 Eastern states. Some broods emerge after 13 years.
As nymphs burrowing underground, cicadas suck sap from tree roots. Almost all members of a group, or brood, burst from the ground within a couple days of each other.
They quickly climb the nearest vertical surface to molt and unroll their wings. In some heavily wooded areas, as many as 1.5 million cicadas per acre will crowd onto trees, expert say.
"It's one of the greatest insect emergences on Earth," said Daniel Summers, an entomologist at The Field Museum.
A single male's shrill courtship call can reach 90 decibels, equivalent to a kitchen blender. That could sour plans for outdoor events over the next few weeks.
Ravinia Festival, a 103-year-old music festival held north of Chicago, revised its schedule to avoid classical musicians having to compete with the insects, said festival president and CEO Welz Kauffman.
June will see more pop bands outdoors, a few concerts moved indoors and a visit from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. "With 350 voices on stage, they can hold their own against the bugs," Kauffman said.
At the Chicago Botanic Garden, spokeswoman Gloria Ciaccio joked that her advice for brides holding outdoor weddings there will be to put the tent flaps down and turn the music up.
An Illinois company that provides ice sculptures has turned down several outdoor parties over the next month. That's because of what happened when Nadeau Ice Sculptures owner Jim Nadeau delivered a swan statue to a wedding in 1990, during the area's last emergence of the periodical cicadas.
"We put our tray down and immediately the cicadas came off the ground and attacked the ice. Literally, it was a moving sculpture, this big black ugly mass of cicadas constantly moving," said Nadeau.
"I don't want to talk myself out of work, but that was just too gross," he said.
Exactly when the cicadas will emerge is a subject of debate, although there is agreement they emerge once the soil temperature is consistently 64 to 65 degrees for several days. Biologists and insect experts predict the cicadas will emerge between Tuesday and June 1.
The best place to see — and hear — the cicadas will be forest preserves, golf courses and any land where there are older trees where the soil has been undisturbed since 1990.
Freelance writer David Hammond runs the LTHForum, a Chicago-based Internet site devoted to culinary matters, and his "foodie" friends want to see what the cicadas taste like.
The insects are eaten in other parts of the world, with descriptions of the taste ranging from shrimp to canned asparagus to not much at all.
No recipe has been decided upon yet, but Hammond assumes they will be fried and perhaps accompanied by a dip or salsa.
"Honestly, they'll probably go down easier that way," he said. "Who knows? Maybe we'll love it. We may have to travel around the country as infestations occur."

Digital Photo Buzz New Mobile View
I am constantly trying to make sure that everyone has the best reading experience on our site no matter what type of platform you are reading our posts from. In todays world we now really need 3 different views for your website; a normal view, mobile version and a tablet version. Mobile and tablets are gaining so much ground in web traffic but the experience is so different due to size. I had tried out a Flipboard inspired view of this site awhile back for iPad users. It worked great when coming directly to the homepage however if you clicked into a link from Twitter or Facebook the page wouldn't come up. I am still searching for a great solution for iPad users and hope to have something soon.
Today we are launching a new version of DigitalPhotoBuzz.com for iPhone or other mobile visitors. You will now have a very simple and clean interface to read our articles without the ad's and other navigation items that are on the right side of the page. This will automatically detect when you are browsing our site with a iPhone or mobile device and switch you over to the mobile view. If you prefer the normal view though just go to the bottom of the page and you can switch the mobile view to off.
Even though its a mobile site there are still ways to access all of our content. With over 400 articles now there are lots of useful tips and information in our archives. If you tap on the arrow at the top right corner you can access a main menu, search the site by tags or categories. There is also a traditional search bar to search for any keywords you might be looking for. I hope this view is helpful for all of our mobile readers out there, if you have any feedback just leave a comment at the bottom of the page!
Also for those of you interested in adding a mobile version to your photography blog, I am using a plugin called WPtouch that you can download for free in your wordpress plugin admin panel. Check it out, its pretty quick and easy to setup and works great.

I want to sue Google for a fictitious ad and the two people handling my ad have stopped answering their phone to me. I am very serious about my four hundred $ I have spent and am not satisfied. I made it clear to them and now when I call I can't get them. I am going to try by email to contact them Google, so far I have been unsuccessful. I have an attorney and he advised me to write first.
RIPON, CALIFORNIA -- I wish to remove Google as my search engine. Reason being is that Google has completed research on customers without their knowledge or permission. I resent this secret gathering of information and no longer wish to be associated with Google. This request is impossible to accomplish by contacting Google online. This conduct is what one would expect from a subversive organization.
I downloaded tons of music, spent lots of money only to know that you can't play it. It's not yours. You have to be connected to the internet to listen to the music you paid for. WHAT A RIP OFF!! I can listen to it for free if that's the case so why are they charging? NEVER BUY MUSIC FROM GOOGLE PLAY!
HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT -- This is not complicated. The Google search engine is clearly biased toward certain spellings of given and surnames. Thus, it blocks searches to names that involve variations -- it's as if people with any variations in the spelling of their names DO NOT EXIST. This is an entirely predictable defect and more than an inaccuracy or an error; in the age of online social networking, it's unethical. (e.g., is Google receiving money to give some names access and by default, blocking other names?)
Every time I look up something on Google, I'll type in for example 2000 Buick climate control. I get put on sites that have nothing to do with what I'm looking for. If I want to print coloring pages for my grandkids, I get sent all over kingdom come but not to a site that I can download. It is frustrating to say the least.
The search engine is currently changing the wording on my search line to coincide with whatever is someone else's current interests. It is like driving a car with no steering wheel. I can stop and put it in reverse and delete what Google has added, but the words return along with the page. I can just go down the page until I find or don't find what I am looking for, or I can add extra words to fill the spot and do the same. Why use an annoying addition to the search experience?
GAITHERSBURG, MARYLAND -- On October 18, 2011, I went to sign into my account and my password which I have not reset or changed isn't being accepted. I've tried every step GOOGLE has to remedy the situation and nothing worked. You have to wait for them to investigate 24 hours. This is RIDICULOUS. What's even more absurd is that they don't have a number you can dial to reach a support person who can help you right away.

Winner of Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival's Chris Anderson Award last year, Mark Boston, is delighted to be screening his award-winning animation at Leeds Young People's Film Festival on 2nd April.
Marks film, Brian & Brian's Amazing Eggventure Parts I, II & III, was considered the winner of Berwick Film Festival's annual young filmmakers award on account of it's real flair for imagination, resourcefulness and originality. The Jury was comprised of industry experts from the North East and South East Scotland including Tina Gharavi, the director of last year's opening film, I Am Nasrine.
As well as receiving a cash prize of £200 to go towards his next film, Mark, aged 17 and from Spittal, was awarded the opportunity to screen his film at a major young people's film festival, which runs in Leeds each Easter. This is the second time the two Festivals have worked together to tour films from the Borders down to Yorkshire, and both hope it will continue into the future, with the Chris Anderson Award 2012 soon to open for entries in May.
Brian & Brian's Amazing Eggventure Parts I, II & III, a bizarre and surreal adventure about a duck and a gorilla, both named Brian, is confirmed to screen on 2nd April as part of Leeds Young People's Film Festival 'Young Filmmakers Day.' Upon hearing of the confirmation, Mark said "I'm as excited as a penguin who has just discovered rocket-propelled ice skates to have my animation screened at Leeds Young People's Film Festival."
Martin Grund, of Leeds Film, said today "Young Filmmakers day is all about celebrating films made by young people who are making films without huge budgets, professional support or schools' involvement. Mark's film is a great example of this, and he shows a real raw talent – we're delighted to be screening Brian and Brian's Amazing Eggventure as part of the programme."

HIV / AIDS Clients Therapists in Windsor Gardens - New York, NY 11103
"Making the decision to change or start something new is never easy, therapy included. Let me help you make the change you want in your life! I have been helping people do just that for over 12 years. My clients are adults of all genders & sexual orientations. It's been my experience that therapy works best when you and your therapist share a sense of trust & comfort. This helps increase motivation. Primary issues treated are depression, anxiety, lack of satisfaction in relationships & careers, self-esteem, grief and living with chronic illness."
HIV / AIDS Clients
"Everyone experiences emotions and situations in life that can be overwhelming, burdening, and anxiety-ridden. Many of these symptoms reflect inner conflicts and desires, but also early attachment patterns. Talking to a professional can help you develop insight and change patterns. My training as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and my previous work in neuroscience have shaped my practice philosophy. I believe that we naturally strive toward growth, safety and making relationships fulfilling. I provide a safe space where we can explore emotional conflicts, and make meaning of them--the basis for change and developing healthier ways of coping."
HIV / AIDS Clients
"We all get lost; sometimes in the pain of a difficult past, other times in the anguish of an unsatisfying present, and often in the convergence of them both. I believe in working together to navigate these issues and collaboratively develop a more authentic, productive life. Regardless of the severity of your current stressors, there is relief to be had as we work towards a solution. It is my goal to help you find authenticity, and fully explore the different layers that comprise the person you are today."
HIV / AIDS Clients
"People seek therapy for a variety of reasons: anxiety, depression, relationship complications, sexuality issues, to name just a specific few; or it may be a combination of issues, or even for reasons one cannot immediately put a finger on -- a general sense of "just not feeling right." Regardless the reasons, you likely found this site in a search for relief and/or a better understanding of where you find yourself at this particular moment in your own story. So now comes the (sometimes) daunting task of finding someone who might offer help."
HIV / AIDS Clients
"The connection between client and therapist is where the therapeutic process begins. I will work towards creating a warm, supportive, and empathetic atmosphere for you to be able to express yourself openly and target your desired change. I have worked with a wide range of ages, with respect to each cultural and religious background. I utilize a large practice scope in treating anxiety, depression, relational issues, academic and occupational stress, low self-esteem, sexual disorders, self-destructive patterns and trauma. I work with a therapy dog who offers support and companionship to my clients."
HIV / AIDS Clients
"For more than six years, I have worked with clients in need of a safe, nonjudgmental space to share their overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Together, we developed an individualized plan to work through them. More often than not, clients are living with intense levels of anxiety, depression, shame, rejection, loneliness, doubt, insecurity, and fear. Relief from these feelings is possible. And, with some time and a little work, we can find relief. I have worked with clients on both a short-term and long-term basis."
HIV / AIDS Clients
Hosts group in:Astoria, New York 11103
"Do you struggle in familiar, romantic or work related relationships? Maybe you experience feelings of anxiety, sadness or anger and are struggling with significant life changes. The focus of my practice is to work proactively with clients to identify ways to positively cope with stressors that affect one's quality of life. Everyone has strengths to which they can aspire to regardless of their situation. I believe a positive support is crucial and necessary during difficult times. I provide an environment that is empathetic, supportive, and non judgemental with an emphasis on the alliance between myself and the client."
HIV / AIDS Clients
"There are moments when we feel that our lives are not taking the direction we want. New decisions need to be made but we do not know which ones are the right ones or how to start getting control of our own path. In those moments, therapy might be a place to explore ourselves, find some answers and support. Mis servicios de psicoterapia individual, terapia de pareja o terapia de familia son ofrecidos tambien en espanol y realizo evaluaciones para peticiones de Inmigración (Extreme Hardship, Domestic Violence, Political Asylum)."
HIV / AIDS Clients
"There are many things in life that can prevent us from moving forward and reaching our potential. My work focuses on your current struggles and finding ways to overcome them at your own pace in a safe environment. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is the most important element in this process. I look at each client as someone with unique needs and I will utilize whatever approach will be most effective and in your best interest."
HIV / AIDS Clients

"The most important part of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. We pride ourselves in building strong, caring therapeutic alliances. We have supportive, warm and experienced therapists with expertise in treating anxiety, depression, chronic pain, bereavement, self-sabotaging behaviors and other conditions. Nobody likes to admit that they need help, but sometimes it can be a life transforming opportunity."
"Hello and welcome to my practice. I am Dr Rezk; Board Certified Psychiatrist. I graduated from Mount Sinai School of Medicine. I also did Psychodynamic psychotherapy fellowship at MSSM. My interest is towards my patients and my patients are my priority. I love my career and I love to take care of my patients. My 2 private Practice locations are at Bay Ridge BK and Astoria Queens which is very convenient and near transportation. We handle the work in a great team work manner and do great patients' care."
"I believe in searching for the resilience in each person. Beginning therapy can feel like entering unknown territory. I have a warm, interactive practice that includes the following: problematic life changes, depression, adoption issues (both child and adult), work issues, social competence, relationship issues, recovery issues, trauma, anxiety and aging issues. I have a special feeling for those who are dealing with anxiety, and use meditation frequently. I am also able to assist with creative blocks regarding writing and other arts."
"Starting therapy is a courageous endeavor. You may be feeling stuck in a rut, experiencing difficulties in a relationship, or having trouble managing stress. I provide a warm, empathetic and non-judgmental space where we will work collaboratively to help you gain insight and understanding into the causes of and ways to reduce emotional distress. I work with adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and eating disorders."
"Lory Jololian, LMHC is a compassionate and client-centered therapist who relies upon evidenced-based approaches to treat a variety of symptoms ranging from depression to anxiety to interpersonal challenges. Lory completed her Masters degree from Iona College and holds a NY State Mental Health Counseling license."
"People seek treatment for various reasons; my approach to therapy is based on the needs of each individual client. Some people need to start with their past in order to move forward and other's need to stay in the present. I make use of various treatment techniques that are comprehensive, goal directed, and sensitive to each persons' culture, beliefs, and values."
"Through a collaborative approach, psychotherapist Emma C. Hotar, LCSW focuses treatment by exercising the modality that is best suited for the specific issue to be addressed in the shortest time possible. Treatment modalities will include and not be limited to the following theoretical backgrounds: Behavioral therapy techniques, Dialectical Behavioral therapy, Family Systems, Emotion Focused therapy, Voice Dialogue therapy, Gestalt therapy. The main theoretical foundation used will be through Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Psychodynamic with object-relations focus in sessions & Psychodrama techniques as needed."
"Taking the initial steps to begin psychotherapy can be intimidating but the process of therapy has the potential to transform your life. Survival skills that may have helped us in the past may have become an obstacle to thriving in the present. This may contribute to feeling stuck in painful relationships, unrewarding jobs and struggling with depression and anxiety. I treat a wide range of concerns and problems including relationship and family of origin issues. My specialties include relational trauma grief and loss, anxiety and depression, LGBT issues, adult adoptees, domestic violence. Additionally, I have experience and enjoy working with artists."
"You feel like you've tried everything, from self help books, yoga, and meditation app's on your phone. Even medication doesn't seem to be helping, nor does it feel like a good long-term solution. Despite all of this effort, you still don't feel like yourself; something seems "off." Perhaps you've tried therapy before and it helped for awhile, but then the same old issues started to resurface, and now you find yourself thinking, "I thought I dealt with this already. Why is this coming back?"."
"You're searching for how to improve some aspect of your life. Let's work together. Whether you're dealing with a difficulty with a small life stressor or a chronic issue, we can work to create specific goals to address your needs. I am a Licensed Clinical psychologist. Currently, I am the Clinic Director of an outpatient Mental Health Clinic. Previously, I was the Director of Training at Holliswood Hospital and was the primary Psychologist for the Military Wellness Program. I am also a professor at Alfred University and supervise students there."
"Barriers can get in the way of personal growth, and it can be challenging to identify, understand and move past them. Often, these obstacles are subtle and related to deeply ingrained patterns in relationships and behaviors."
