Seasick & Singlehanding
Ahoi All -just wondering, what do you do when you're singlehanding out at sea and you get seasick? Anone had this experience.
I'm always inspired by the NH motto; "Live free or Die"
Re: Seasick & Singlehanding
You will not die from sea sickness, drink a cup of water each time you up chuck, keep a bucket handy and just get on with it. It will pass.
Re: Seasick & Singlehanding
"You will not die from sea sickness,"
Actually, Simon, you CAN die from it. You can wind up rupturing part of your gut and bleeding internally, and it can become a fatal problem. I you're simply disabled by seasickness, you can still die because there's no one running the boat and they don't all run themselves. So...if you have meds you take them, and you really ought to have taken along meds and tried them beforehand to find out which ones work. If you've got no meds and you're really disabled, you hit the red buttons and bring in SAR, and write off your boat. (Another reason not to singlehand.) Yes, it can be fatal. If you've never been that badly off--consider yourself lucky. |
Re: Seasick & Singlehanding
Fortunately, most people that suffer from sea-sickness usually recover within a short/moderate period as their bodies adapt. Some medications will moderate the effects but I wonder whether these also delay adaptation. In many cases, homeopathic remedies are as effective as drugs--i.e. Ginger et al and may have less side effects. Frankly, I also think some may mistake anxiety induced discomfort for sea-sickness but that too normally dissipates as/if one adapts. In any case, it would be wise for one to explore and understand one's own tendencies before setting off, no? FWIW... |
Re: Seasick & Singlehanding
Re: Seasick & Singlehanding
someones advised was to drink sea salted water, dont know what kind of remedy this would be.
Re: Seasick & Singlehanding
Re: Seasick & Singlehanding
I will sometimes suggest a coke or ginger ale. The bubbly helps. Ginger helps my wife, as does pepermint. I cannot stand it. Phenegren works ok but will knock you on your butt. We carry scopolamine patches but they need to be put on before hand. Also, scope will screw up your vision (it does mine at least). Brian |
Re: Seasick & Singlehanding
btw, I am going to move this to a different (more apporpriate) forum.

My husband continually reminds me that I'm a dreamer, I contribute it to positive thinking {why not dream big?}...I tell him I'd rather be a dreamer then a realist...If I owned two homes, one would be chic + classic, the other comfy + laid back. I don't own two homes, I'm just trying to buy and finish one! My home is a laboratory of sorts, so I'm slowly mixing the two styles. Like many on a limited budget, I'm often thinking about, dreaming and creating my next idea! Here's a sampling of feeling shots. The beautiful thing is, you can have the best of both worlds, and live in one place! Happy Monday!!

Legalizing Marijuana In The United States Of America Biology Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
It has often been called the plant of life and also been attributed with many anti cancerous properties yet marijuana or cannabis sativa is one of the most debated drugs in world. Even Francis Young the Drug Enforcement Agency judge in the United States has declared that in its biological form marijuana is one of the safest substances for medical therapy. Experiments done by the agency have shown that to achieve a lethal dose a human being will have to consume more than 20,000 to 40,000 times the normal amount. In fact overdose of cannabis has never been linked as a direct cause of death. (Gieringer, Rosenthal, & Carter, 2008). On the other hand this once common weed has been attributed to a variety of mythically adverse effects and its use for both medical and recreation had therefore been criminalized in most parts of the world including the United States. But in the past 20 years there has been a colossal movement amongst governments, doctors and other private organizations to try and legalize the medical usage of this plant. (Birchard, 2010). Presently patients suffering from debilitating ailments such as pain, nausea and loss of appetite are legally allowed to use medical marijuana in 14 states of the United States of America (Cadrain, 2010). This number is growing as more states begin to apply for legalization of marijuana for medical purposes. (Ferguson, 2010) On the other hand there is a community that is in complete opposition to the legalizing of medical marijuana and their arguments sprout from the deep rooted fear spread by misinformation and propaganda during the prohibition years. (Bonnie & Whitebread II, 1970).
In this essay I argue in support of the legalization of Marijuana for medicinal and therapeutic purposes in the United States. I back my view by presenting three positive results of legalization that far outweigh any of the disadvantages. The most significant of these is the actual benefits of using marijuana over other prescription drugs. In addition to this I show the advantages legalization has to the economy and governance of states.
Marijuana or cannabis sativa is a weed that grows in a variety of environments and come in both female and male varieties. Humans have used every part of this plant since ancient times. Some uses for it involve production of fibre, clothes, food, medicine, and recreational smoking. The main medicinal and recreational value of marijuana arises from its psychoactive ingredient tetra hydro cannabinol or THC. Recreation is the most common use of the plant but is often considered to be a form of misuse.
Effects of Marijuana
Marijuana's main chemical constituents are called cannabinoids which as psychoactive drugs that alter the consciousness of a user. Cannabinoid receptors are found in the major brain systems thus affecting the user's recognition of pain, hunger, control and mood. It brings a state of increase attentiveness to environmental stimuli while creating a dreamlike state where ideas flow rapidly. Dual consciousness and feelings of nirvana are also associated with the drug's use. As is the case with all drugs, marijuana if abused can have adverse effects and can even be dangerous (Gieringer, Rosenthal, & Carter, 2008).
Marijuana Misuse
The number of people who smoke marijuana is estimated to be between 200 and 300 million people. (Woody & MacFadden, 1995). It is the most commonly used illicit drug in both Canada and America. The use of the drug in this case is mostly recreational and it still does not signify the true number. Smoking marijuana is considered to be a socially undesirable behaviour and users will rarely admit to it. (Earleywine, 2002). Because of propaganda on its effects the drug has not been able to gain a popular front in medicine for a long time. Some of the effects are addiction and abuse.
Addiction to marijuana is compared to that of caffeine as it is the only drug that has weak withdrawal or dependence. In addition this it is also very difficult for users to build up a tolerance for it. Experts rank that only hallucinogens rank lower than marijuana when it comes to the ability of a drug to hook a person. Addiction itself can be associated with more than one action. One type of addiction is when a user is compelled to use cannabis leading to a loss of control over the drugs influence on their lives. Medical doctors have made addiction into a disease which they believe must be cured only through biological intervention. But studies conducted on users show that marijuana addiction of this manner cannot be considered biological and should be interpreted rather as psychological (Earleywine, 2002, p. 38). This is because it is the effects of the drug that a user begins to depend upon and not the drug itself. After recurrent use people tend to build a tolerance for both the good and bad effects of the marijuana but not at the same level as other psychoactive drugs. Some of the symptoms of dependence are withdrawal, in ability to reduce, exceeding the fixed dosage, losing time because of drug fixation, reduction in activities and continuous use even at the onset of problems. But on comparing all these to other drugs including pain medication such a Vicodin the problems and fixations are far less. (Earleywine, 2002).
A small portion of this group does not qualify for dependence related misuse of marijuana but are more in common with substance abuse. The symptoms that show abuse are marijuana intake influencing major responsibilities, drug usage in unlawful and unsafe settings, legal troubles and chronic use even when in a dilemma (Earleywine, 2002).
Though the adverse of marijuana are very low compared to other drugs it still has the potential for addiction and abuse. On the other hand it is not entirely appropriate to take the studies at face value. This is because most of the time diagnosis into the usage of the drug has been influenced by political agendas and therefore the studies are not as scientific as they should be. Abuse and dependence are not natural symptoms but are in fact made by man. (Earleywine, 2002)
Marijuana misuse can produce adverse physical effects such as dizziness and vomiting and mental effects such as paranoia, anxiety and disorientation. Unlike other drugs marijuana's side effects easily wear off after sleep.
Another problem arising from this is that users will be branded with label of mental ill ness if they represent a certain batch of symptoms. This could prove to be completely wrong because the whole picture will not be considered. (Earleywine, 2002).
Marijuana Prohibition
Prohibition of marijuana in America began in the late 1920s and was a direct result of other social issues at the time. The beginning of anti-narcotics and prohibition can be linked to the temperance movement and their protests that lead to the banning of alcohol. Anti-Narcotics legislations were anticipatory actions that were put in place because of fear of protests. Before the 1900 and the criminalization of narcotics there were around half a million American who were addicted to narcotics. Most of these addiction were accidents and not recreational. Hospitals and drug companies used narcotics in over the counter medicine that was purported to cure all ailments but patients never knew because labels didn't contain information about the ingredients. Marijuana was included in the prohibitions acts in 1932 which further led to the marijuana Tax Act in 1937. The rationale for prohibition was not arrived at through any scientific studies but through the classing of drugs. In addition to this the temperance movement also back up the fact that marijuana could be used as a substitute for the banned alcohol. Over the year penalties for possession and being under the influence were increase gradually. In the same way that it was banned due to public opinion and culture marijuana is also being decriminalized in many states because of communities' interest in its medicinal values. (Bonnie & Whitebread II, 1970)
Medical Marijuana
To support the legalization of marijuana for medicine it must possess exceptional value as a therapeutic agent. Some of the medical uses of marijuana include appetite stimulation, nausea suppression, anti-convulsion, pain relief, anti-depressant, treating glaucoma and as a substitute for more harmful drugs such as alcohol (Gieringer, Rosenthal, & Carter, 2008). The medical benefits of marijuana therefore far outweigh the unfavourable effects.
The main medicinal value of marijuana is derived from personal accounts and historic uses while scientific research into the drug is very less because of its classification. It was first used by the Chinese as a mainstay of their herbal medicines. The Chinese introduced it to the Arab traders who then spread it to Africa and the Middle East. Europe and the rest of the world were introduced to marijuana as a medicine from its use in Indian herbal treatments. (Mack & Joy, 2000).
Unlike most other medicine which undergo extensive testing and development, marijuana has become a therapeutic agent mainly because of its widespread use. Scientists find it very difficult to obtain and test marijuana for clinical research because of the large number of regulations that need to be followed. There several where medical marijuana is considered through research to be effective.
Treatment of pain
Pain is a direct response of the body when it contracts some form of disease or illness and it indicates that something is wrong with the body. Pain though can take many forms and the search for new pain suppression medicines is a never ending task for drug companies. Pain can be of two types; acute or chronic. For short term acute pain medical doctors usually prescribe opiates or it derivatives such as Vicodin. Though this works well in the short term users will get addicted and build up a tolerance when used for chronic cases of pain. (Mack & Joy, 2000)
Marijuana on the other hand works differently from opiates but has the same effect for moderate pain. Unlike opiates people don't build up tolerance very quickly as long as the doses are controlled. Marijuana is less addictive and has less severe side effects like withdrawal in comparison to opiates. The most common use of marijuana as a pain killer is in cancer patients. Cancer causes pain through inflammation, tumours in bones and tissue and through injury to nerves. Studies conducted on patients with severe cancer have shown a major decrease in pain when compare to opiates (Mack & Joy, 2000, p. 81). The only side effects of this were sedation and disorientation. However none of the patients were affected by nausea and they experienced an overall increase in appetite. Patients were also less anxious and had higher feelings of wellbeing than when on opiates. Lastly marijuana can also be used as an excellent remedy for migraine. (Mack & Joy, 2000, pp. 82-83)
Alleviating Symptoms of AIDS, Chemotherapy and Hepatitis C
Marijuana has become very popular as a therapeutic drug to combat the symptoms of AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome). Some of the physical symptoms of AIDS are wasting of the body, dementia and nerve damage. In addition to this patients also undergo depression and anxiety over their conditions. Coupled with this is the side effect of the medicine people take to keep the HIV in check. These medicines often produce feeling of nausea and vomiting; both of which can be reduced by marijuana. Wasting syndrome is another common symptom of AIDS as infected people begin to lose appetite and begin to lose weight. Marijuana has properties that increase appetite and prevent wasting. In addition to this marijuana is also a mood enhancer and works effectively as an anti-depression drug. Hepatitis C also has similar symptoms and can be eased with marijuana. (Mack & Joy, 2000)
The same symptoms affect cancer patients under treatment. Although cancer is fatal many people nowadays live with it for quite some time as treatments are available for most types. The general treatment for most cancer is chemotherapy but it has three undesirable side effects; nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite. Marijuana as in the case with AIDS can help alleviate these side effects. (Mack & Joy, 2000)
Treating Glaucoma
The most common use of marijuana as a medicine is in the treatment of glaucoma. Glaucoma is the second highest of cause of blindness in the world and is a gradual disorder that damages cells in the retina while degrading the optical nerve. This blinding disease is caused by pressure build up in the aqueous humor of the eye. Studies have shown that THC and other cannabinoids can reduce this pressure build up with the same effectiveness as other medications. The only problem with its usage is its side effects on the elderly. The short duration of the effect also means that marijuana must be consumed almost eight times in a day. (Mack & Joy, 2000)
Treating Neurological Disorders and Spasticity
Marijuana treats Neurological diseases of three types. The first of these is movement disorders which affects patients who have defects in the basal ganglia region of the brain. The patients suffer loss of control or motion in limbs, faces and body. Stress and Anxiety tends to increase the severity of the symptoms and marijuana is able to counteract both these. Epilepsy is another type neurological disorder that marijuana is able to control. It is brought about by concurrent stimulation of many nerves leading to convulsions, uncontrolled movements in focal regions and altered consciousness. Anti-convulsion drugs may be used but these have serious side effects like drowsiness, hair loss and tremors. Marijuana though not a complete replacement can be taken with other medication as an effective cure with less side effects. In addition to this it is also used to treat spasms causes by ailments such as multiple sclerosis and injuries to the spinal cord. Last but not the least marijuana can also treat the effects of Alzheimer's disease. This progressive disease is incurable and it affects the nervous system causing memory loss and changes in behaviour. Cannabis is used to stimulate appetite and treat the onset of depression.
Legalizing Marijuana
Although the medical benefits of legalizing marijuana are vast governments still need an addition incentive to pass the bill. However if the situation is studied closely we can see that legalizing marijuana will be beneficial to the economy and the people.
Effect on Economy
As in all markets in the economy of a country marijuana is also affected by supply and demand. At present with the supply and usage of marijuana considered a criminal activity this market is completely under the radar of the government in the United States. The demand for medical marijuana though is extremely high (Birchard, 2010) and the market is a truly untapped gold mine. According to neo classical economic theories the cost reduction and benefits to countries in favour of legalizing is staggering. By criminalizing the use of marijuana both drug users and non-users are affected equally.
The incentive by which governments deter consumption of marijuana is by imposing penalties. The success of incentives though depends completely on the intensity of the consequence and the cost of implementing it. (LaGrange, 2000). In addition to this prohibition of marijuana is enforced mainly on the suppliers side and the monetary incentive due to demand far exceeds the deterring incentive of punishment. Marijuana trade therefore remains uncontrollable by prohibition. (LaGrange, 2000)
Drug Control and Taxation
By legalizing the market governments can achieve two beneficial results. One is that the market will then come under the country's economic system and will thus become taxable. Thus governments will be able to achieve the necessary control because there will be less covert activity and get huge amounts of money in the form of tax at the same time. The second result that this will bring is that governments will be able to stop spending huge amounts of money in drug control and can put it for better use. (LaGrange, 2000). Criminalization has huge social implications as well because suppliers hike prices in an uncontrolled market and consumers end up losing a lot of money leading to poverty.
Social Implications of Legalization
Presently the cannabis industry is a covert industry that supplies under the radar of the government. The quality of the product and safety to the end user cannot be guaranteed. Suppliers can cut marijuana with other chemicals to increase potency and hike prices at the same time. This is very dangerous for consumers especially ones using it for medicine. In addition to this states have no control over the dosage of medication. By legalizing the system consumers will be protected and the quality and quantity of the dose can also be controlled. Marijuana is in fact safer than alcohol when it comes to public safety and law enforcement would have huge workload off their hands. (Fox, Armentano, & Tvert, 2009)
One place that marijuana has already been legalized for medical consumption is California. Legalization in California is in the long run theorised to be a success as it is set to bring in revenue of over a billion dollars from the new markets, while a half billion has been saved in law enforcement. (Vitiello, 2009). Opponents to the proposition in California theorised that legalization would ensure wide spread use especially amongst children. But this is not the case because suppliers wishing not to lose their licence have ensured that trade is controlled and children do not get their hands on it. In fact it would actually be more difficult to obtain marijuana under a legalized system. Another place that is set to follow in California's footsteps is Arizona.
Arizona is coming up with a system where physicians will be able to recommend marijuana to people affected by glaucoma, AIDS, Cancer and Hepatitis C. The registered patients will receive an identification card which they can use to receive up to two and a half ounces of cannabis every fourteen days. Arizona goes one step further by allowing the users to also grow 12 plants of their own (Fung, 2010).
Both these cases show huge potential and success in the legalization of marijuana for medical purposes. The health benefits for using this drug when compared to other substitutes is very high. In addition to this the side effects of the drug are mild while addiction to it is also very unlikely. Marijuana doesn't build up a tolerance in the body like other psychoactive drugs and therefore can be used for medical purposes requiring chronic s
Legalizing cannabis therefore not only has health benefit but can also help economies. As an untapped market the medical marijuana trade can bring in billions of dollars in revenue to the economy. Taxing this can increase government wealth and also enable government to control market. Social Evils such as drug trafficking and underworld gangs will not have any incentives to carry out illegal activities as people will try to buy from safe, legal sources. Users as well as non users will thus be protected while law enforcement expenses drop. All things considered it is best if cannabis is legalized as a medical drug in the United States of America.

Work detailsThe Sandman: The Dream Hunters by Neil Gaiman (Author)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. This story does its best to find out if you have a heart and does it ache. Clumsy at first, it becomes subtle. In The Sandman: The Dream Hunters, Neil Gaiman returns to the Dreaming and Morpheus, its lord, in a story based on Rev. B.W. Ashton's story "The Fox, the Monk, and the Mikado of All Night's Dreaming", originally published in his Fairy Tales of Old Japan. The story fits perfectly with the mythology that Gaiman had previously crafted in his regular Sandman series and reads like one of the many interludes that Gaiman set during Morpheus' life prior to his captivity. Yoshitaka Amano's artwork is gorgeous and works perfectly to reflect and forward the tone of Gaiman's writing. As Gaiman's first return to The Sandman following completion of the regular series, this set the bar high and continued to show how Gaiman drives the medium of comics into new territory. The end result is something both gorgeous and haunting. Quite gorgeous although Dream doesn't feature as much as I'd like This was my first graphic novel, and if others are this magnificent, I am all in! The illustrations, by Yoshitaka Amano, are exquisite. The story is a fable of a monk, a fox, and their connection in the real and dream worlds. It is a lovely fable about life, love, and death. Just a fabulous reading experience, both in terms of Gaiman's prose and Amano's visual feast! 3 years after the Sandman called it quits, and just over 10 years after issue #1 hit the stands, the Dream Hunters was the best return the King of All Night's Dreaming could've asked for. [N.B. This review includes images, and was formatted for my site, dendrobibliography -- located here.] I was nervous about this story: It's structure is a departure for the Dreaming, being a novella with accompanying illustrations instead of a 'comic book.' I didn't expect it could capture Dream's trademark twinkle nearly so well--and I was wrong. This is the Sandman, and it's one of Dream's most powerful stories. Gaiman spent years evoking the style of myths of all colors to tell stories about--well--stories, and this is him exercising that experience to pay homage to Japanese and Chinese folklore.* This isn't a continuation of the original series, either, making it a safe read for new-comers. The nods are there--and satisfying--but they're unimportant to the story itself. The Dream Hunters is all Morpheus and his fatal hubris from beginning to end. He guides two potential lovers, a fox-spirit and a monk, to care for one another despite their doomed situation. Theirs is a sly, sad defense of forbidden love only Morpheus could deliver. The illustrations decorating every other page were provided by Yoshitaka Amano, best known for his iconic Final Fantasy artwork. Amano's simple, yet complex images go hand-in-hand with Gaiman's prose. They're both detached and maybe a bit cold in the same fairy-tale way, gently carrying a story for any time and as old as time to the reader. His pencil lines are sparse, but still provide fine details to strike humanity in his characters. (& his ethereal style captures the '80s goth-punk vibe of Morpheus' (contextually-ridiculous) figure so well!) I loved it. It was sad, tender, cute 'n' sweet, and oh-so-powerful: The best collaboration you could want from these two artists. *The Dream Hunters has a Japanese flavor. Gaiman cites a collection (pub. 1908) of Japanese myths by Yei Theodora Ozaki as the source (with minimal alterations to fit in with the Dreaming) in the afterword. He was wrong, for whatever reason; it's source is Pu Songling (c. 1700) of the Qing Dynasty--though how similar it is, I have no idea. no reviews | add a review

References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in EnglishNone Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 156389629X, Paperback)Sandman fans should feel lucky that master fantasy writer Neil Gaiman discovered the mythical world of Japanese fables while researching his translation of Hayao Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke. At the same time, while preparing for the Sandman 10th anniversary, he met Yoshitaka Amano, his artist for the 11th Sandman book. Amano is the famed designer of the Final Fantasy game series. The product of Gaiman's immersion in Japanese art, culture, and history, Sandman: Dream Hunters is a classic Japanese tale (adapted from "The Fox, the Monk, and the Mikado of All Night's Dreaming") that he has subtly morphed into his Sandman universe.Like most fables, the story begins with a wager between two jealous animals, a fox and a badger: which of them can drive a young monk from his solitary temple? The winner will make the temple into a new fox or badger home. But as the fox adopts the form of a woman to woo the monk from his hermitage, she falls in love with him. Meanwhile, in far away Kyoto, the wealthy Master of Yin-Yang, the onmyoji, is plagued by his fears and seeks tranquility in his command of sorcery. He learns of the monk and his inner peace; he dispatches demons to plague the monk in his dreams and eventually kill him to bring his peace to the onmyoji. The fox overhears the demons on their way to the monk and begins her struggle to save the man whom at first she so envied. Dream Hunters is a beautiful package. From the ink-brush painted endpapers to the luminous page layouts--including Amano's gate-fold painting of Morpheus in a sea of reds, oranges, and violets--this book has been crafted for a sensuous reading experience. Gaiman has developed as a prose stylist in the last several years with novels and stories such as Neverwhere and Stardust, and his narrative rings with a sense of timelessness and magic that gently sustains this adult fairy tale. The only disappointment here is that the book is so brief. One could imagine this creative team being even better suited to a longer story of more epic proportions. On the final page of Dream Hunters, in fact, Amano suggest that he will collaborate further with Mr. Gaiman in the future. Readers of Dream Hunters will hope that Amano's dream comes true. --Patrick O'Kelley (retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:15:02 -0400) A fox who wins a monk's temple to use as her den falls in love with the cleric and bargains with the Japanese bringer of dreams to protect the monk from his enemy, the lord of a neighboring estate.

It's been quite some time since we heard from Candy Spelling via one of her famous Open Letters but the time has come, once again, for Mama Spelling to post a new public message to her estranged daughter Tori Spelling:
Yesterday I posted a newslink to a new interview with Tori Spelling wherein she talks about how much she loves her mother and how things are not as bad between them as the public may believe:
Tori Spelling insists that the supposed rift between her and her mother, Candy Spelling, isn't nearly as bad as it's been made out to be. "It's not like we're not talking, we just haven't talked," the actress, whose new book, Mommywood, hits bookstores Tuesday, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. "I love my mother. I've always loved her [and] no doubt she loves me. There's no feud. We simply never meshed."
In response to these new comments from Tori (and to new excerpts from Tori's new book Mommywood, in stores today), Candy has posted a new open letter to her daughter on CandySpelling.com refuting the claim that the pair are not estranged and pleads that Tori "step up" and reach out to her … she writes:
"You haven't responded to my emails, phone calls and text messages. You say you look at my website, so I'm trying to reach you that way. I want to see you and your family – in private, like the 'normal family' you say always wanted."
Oh yes, Candy Spelling has much more to say to her daughter Tori. After the jump, read Candy's latest open letter in full to find out just what exactly is on Candy's mind right now …
While it is supremely sad that mother and daughter have to communicate this way, I suppose it's encouraging that Candy seems willing to extend the olive branch to her daughter. It remains to be seen if Tori will bite and will reach out to her mother in order to reconcile but, like Candy, I am hopeful too. Tori's children deserve a relationship with their grandmother … hopefully Candy Spelling's latest public plea to her daughter will finally get the pair to mend fences once and for all.

It is clear that Palpatine and Dooku are teaming up to bring the Sith back, but some things are still unclear.
First of all, wouldn't more Jedi be killed in the Arena battle if the Clone Troopers (which Palp and Dooku authorized the creation of) didn't save the day? Why then were the Clone Troopers made if they are actually heroes? Also, when Dooku was trying to get Obi-Wan to assist him, who did he really want Obi-Wan to join him against? What was the main reason for Padme's assassination attempts? To make Palpatine's political job easier or to clear the way for an easier Sith invasion? Did Palpatine (as Sidious) approve of the Separatist movement or did Dooku do this against him? When Zam Wessell was dying, why didn't Jango Fett shoot Obi-Wan instead? The information wouldn't get to the Republic anyway if Obi died instead.
Help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Southwest Louisiana is emerging from downpours that have rivers and streams at or approaching flood stage.
National Weather Service hydrologist Jonathan Brazzell says flooding probably will affect mostly streets along rivers and streams. Eunice had nearly 11.2 inches of rain in the 24 hours ending at 7 a.m., and Iowa had 9.7 inches.
The weather service says an industrial plant south of Plaquemine may have been damaged by a tornado Thursday morning. No injuries were reported.
The Louisiana National Guard sent a high-water truck and two soldiers each to Marksville and to Crowley, where the weather service reported 9.35 inches of rain in 24 hours.
Forecasters say the really bad weather is out of the state with the next wave of rain expected Saturday.

Cigarette smoking is widespread among children and young adults with diabetes yet few health care providers are counseling children and young adults with diabetes to not smoke or stop smoking, according to a new report from the SEARCH Study Group, published online in the Journal of Pediatrics.
Children and young adults with diabetes are already at high risk for heart disease before they take up smoking but few studies have examined the association between cigarette smoking and heart disease risk factors in youth with diabetes.
Funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive Kidney Diseases, the study examined tobacco use and heart disease risk factors in a racially and ethnically diverse group of 3,466 children and young adults with diabetes aged 10 to 22 years old across the United States.
Researchers found that 10 percent of youth with type 1 diabetes and 16 percent of youth with type 2 diabetes were currently using some form of tobacco products: cigarettes, cigars or smokeless tobacco. Less than half of the youth reported that they had been counseled by their health care provider to not smoke or stop smoking.
"We found a substantial proportion of youth with diabetes are current cigarette smokers, which greatly adds to their already elevated risk for heart disease," said study lead author Kristi Reynolds, PhD, MPH, a research scientist and epidemiologist at the Kaiser Permanente Southern California Department of Research & Evaluation. "Smoking is preventable, so aggressive smoking prevention and cessation programs are needed to prevent or delay heart disease in youth with diabetes."
These findings were based on analysis of data from the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study, a large multi-center study of youth diagnosed with diabetes before the age of 20 years who were enrolled by six clinical centers in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Ohio, South Carolina and Washington.
The study found the prevalence of current cigarette smoking in youth with type 1 diabetes to be 1.3 percent of 10- to 14-year-olds, 14.9 percent of 15- to 19-year-olds, and 27 percent of those 20 years and older. Among youth with type 2 diabetes, 4.4 percent of 10- to 14-year-olds were currently cigarette smokers, 12.9 percent of 15- to 19-year-olds were cigarette smokers, and 37.3 percent in youth 20 years and older were cigarette smokers.
The study also found early signs of heart disease among those using cigarette products. Youth who were past and current smokers had a higher prevalence of high triglyceride levels, high LDL cholesterol levels, low HDL cholesterol levels and more physical inactivity than non-smokers.
"Cigarette smoking is a completely preventable risk factor for cardiovascular and other diseases. While this is true for all children, it is especially true for children with diabetes because of the increased risk of cardiovascular disease in that population," said study co-author Stephen R. Daniels, MD, PhD, professor and chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and Pediatrician-in-Chief at The Children's Hospital in Denver.
In adults with diabetes, the risk of heart disease is greatly increased compared with adults without diabetes, and smoking may increase that risk. About 90 percent of adult smokers started smoking before age 18. Because of the already increased risk of cardiovascular disease in individuals with diabetes mellitus, the American Diabetes Association emphasizes the importance of smoking cessation for those individuals.

Malawi's President Banda Has Brought Hope, Expectation – Blair
"These are challenging times, difficult times (but) there is an enormous amount of hope and expectation," Blair said late Thursday in Malawi.
"This has come about because of the leadership she (Banda) has shown."
Half of Malawi's 14 million people live on less than a dollar a day.
Banda was sworn in as president in April following the death of late president Bingu wa Mutharika, inheriting a battered economy marked by shortages of fuel and foreign exchange.
She swiftly set about restoring relations with foreign donors, who had suspended funds due to concerns about hardline governance and rights issues under Mutharika.
Her administration has launched a "recovery plan" through private sector-led economic growth.
Blair, who heads the non-profit African Governance Initiative, is in Malawi for two days and on Friday will attend an investment roundtable discussion with Malawi's business captains.

"As old as the hills [although, not millions of years old], and twice as dusty," the saying goes (about something that has become trite after a time).
That's the sentiment this author had in watching yet another evolutionist mock a belief in a literal creation by likening it to believing in a "flat earth." Most recently, that was the comment made about AiG (and other creationist organizations) by Dr. Alan Wolfe of Boston College, as he and Answers in Genesis were featured on America's NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams last month (March 25). Dr. Wolfe declared to the TV audience: "To teach kids that creationism explains something about the world is no different than teaching them that the earth is flat."
Evolutionists have found it easier to resort to such scoffing...rather than to use rational, scientific arguments against those who reject evolution.AiG has discovered that over the years, evolutionists have found it easier to resort to such scoffing (and ad hominem arguments) rather than to use rational, scientific arguments against those who reject evolution and accept a literal Genesis. Dr. Wolfe, director of the Boisi Center for Religion and American Life at Boston College in Massachusetts, USA, is just another in a long line of anti-creationists who resort to pulling out this hackneyed flat-earth analogy. Dr. Wolfe was essentially telling several million viewers that if creation is to be allowed in public schools, then the flat-earth theory should as well. (Even such a brilliant mind as the late Dr. Stephen J. Gould, used this terrible "apples and oranges" comparison.1)
This kind of bizarre analogy, occurring amidst a growing serious debate about the teaching of origins in science classes (schools in about twenty states are dealing with the issue), is unfortunate. Such a silly, cavalier attitude about the burgeoning pro-creation, anti-evolution movement may backfire in the long run, as the public tire of seeing highly credentialed evolutionists make nonsensical arguments like the hackneyed flat earth analogy to creation. If anything, it helps further reveal the bankruptcy of this worldview when they resort to such flimsy arguments. How?
You see, the theory of "molecules-to-man" evolution is outside observational science, but the shape of our earth is not. Even a layperson today can observe that the earth is not flat:
- The earth's roundness can be seen as a shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse.
- We've all seen photos of a spherical earth taken by spacecraft circling the earth.
- Even people in ancient times saw ships disappear over the horizon, and knew (centuries before Columbus) that the earth was round.
In addition, Isaiah 40:22 (that book was written many centuries before the time of Christ) talks about the sphericity of the earth.
Another occasional accusation made by evolutionists against creationists is that some Christians and creation groups actually teach that the earth is flat.2 That's a red herring, for we don't know of any creationist group that believes in a flat earth. At the same time, we can't resist mentioning that there would certainly be evolutionists who accept false beliefs like astrology. However, it should be obvious that the validity of creation (or evolution) isn't affected by the fact that some of the adherents of either hold erroneous views on other subjects. Furthermore, we don't know of any credentialed scientist who holds to a flat-earth view.
We can only hope that scoffers like Dr. Wolfe-with their tidy sound bites-will have the opportunity to study the Bible for themselves and see that science, properly interpreted, does not contradict God's Word in any way. (It is unfortunate, however, that one of Dr. Wolfe's recent exposures to Christianity was his January visit to the campus of Calvin College in Michigan to give a lecture; while ostensibly a Christian school, Calvin has several evolutionists on its science and Bible faculties.) Such a cavalier, mocking attitude about the authority of the Bible has eternal consequences for those who reject the Bible as God's Word and its message of salvation through the Creator and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

Game Help:Windowed Mode
From SimsWiki
This article is written for The Sims 2. For the equivalent Sims 3 article, click here. |
Contents |
How do I play in windowed mode?
"Windowed" mode allows you to run The Sims 2 in a window so you can easily switch to other applications/games that you are also running at the same time.
- The only thing you have to do is add a -w at the end of your shortcut. You can do this with any of the expansion packs, too.
Detailed Instructions
- Right-click on the Sims 2 game icon and select properties.
- At the very end of the Target path (after the "), put in a space then -w and click OK.
- If you want to have 2 separate icons (one for windowed mode, and one for regular), then just right-click on the game icon, select copy, then right-click again anywhere else on your desktop, select paste, and rename your shortcut and update the path accordingly.
Thanks to daysies for the original article.

Stars: They are just like us! Well, the ones of us that don't pay attention to what anyone else is saying, lazily crib our friend's ideas, and brag endlessly about our vacations. Which honestly, does describe most of us, so lets give these guys some slack, okay? (Btw if anyone else is in the Hamptons/St. Barts/Barcelona this weekend holla at us we'll be there just straight chillin xoxoxoxoxox)
Well, see, this is just lazy Wilmer Valderrama (@WillyVille). You can't just tack yourself on to someone else's Follow Friday (Ricky Martin's no less!) and then front about it in Spanish.
Paris Hilton (@ParisHilton) is on vacation, which is hard to differentiate from her normal life, we know.
Then again, some people really don't understand the concept of "vacation" because they've taken one from reality for so long. Courtney Love (@CourtneyLoveUK).
Is it called "Being famous?" Good job with that, Audrina Patridge (@OfficialAudrina).

i'm a little sleepy from this west coast jet lag but i wanted to say good morning and thank everyone who came out to last night's LA biz ladies meetup, which was incredible! i can't get over how many of you came out- thank you to everyone, to design within reach (thanks, susie and co!) and to our incredible speakers: lindsay at smith barney, tanya aguiniga and billie and tootie of reform school. if you're looking to download the notes from the PR/marketing portion of last night's talk they're right here. thanks again and to everyone who's not in LA- stay tuned- i may be adding two more surprise cities this summer because of some personal traveling i'm doing. i'll be announcing those in the next few weeks when i've hammered out the details.
i also wanted to share this beautiful cut-paper installation from helen friel– a student designer from central saint martins in london. helen specializes in illustration and cut paper and these pieces were part of a recent school project. i couldn't get over the beautiful cuts in each piece and had to share them as i pack up and get ready to head to the airport. click here for more information on helen's work.
I never believed in jet lag (not a big traveler) until we went to SF last year :) By the time we were ready to come back I finally had myself set on Pacific Standard!
Is Atlanta going to be one of those cities? I hope so!!! I have a feeling you might be coming back to Georgia soon for wedding stuff…… I hope I'm right!

Steamboat Springs By the end of the week, the members of the Steamboat Springs High School boys soccer team should have a pretty good idea of where they stand in the Western Slope League.
Right now, the local squad (3-0-1) is in a battle to take control of the top spot with Rifle (2-0-1).
Battle Mountain picked up a league win last Saturday against Palisade, but is hoping to make a run as the team approaches midseason.
"This is a huge week," Sailors coach Rob Bohlmann said. "If we can get a positive result against Battle Mountain and another positive result against Rifle, we will be in pretty good shape headed into the second half."
But the coach said that he and his players are focusing on the next game and only the next game.
The next Steamboat foe will be Battle Mountain. That game is scheduled to take place tonight under the lights at the high school field starting at 6 p.m. It is the Sailors' 2001 homecoming game.
"Take it one game at a time that's kind of our motto this season," Sailors midfielder Zach Klohr said.
Right now, the Sailors are focused on the Huskies. Battle Mountain comes off a 6-1 win over Aspen last Tuesday and a 2-1 victory over Glenwood on Saturday.
"They are playing pretty good soccer right now," Bohlmann said. "I think this team could present a lot of challenges for us."
The biggest challenge may come in trying to slow down the Huskies' fast-moving offense, which is led by Scott Ligouri.
Battle Mountain has been playing a 3-3-4 setup that allows the team to move four offensive players into the attacking side of the field.
The team also uses a more traditional offensive attack that features two attacking forwards.
Bohlmann said most teams in the league only have two players assigned to the attacking half and disperse the rest of the team's forces pretty equally in the mid-field and defense.
"We may have to shift to a more direct attack," Bohlmann said. "We will just have to wait and see what they do at the start of the game."
Steamboat normally uses a more controlled offensive attack that begins with the defensive players who pass the ball to the midfielders. The midfielders then try to find a seam in order to set the forwards up for a scoring run. The offense favors short, quick passes.
But if Battle Mountain has four players in Steamboat's backfield, there will be less room to build this strategic attack using the defense.
Bohlmann said the Steamboat defense might have to use the long ball in an effort to catch Battle Mountain with too many players forward.
"If they play it that way it can really open some things up offensively for us in the midfield," Klohr said.
However, Bohlmann isn't sure which Battle Mountain attack will be used in tonight's game and he will have to ask his players to make the adjustments on the field once the game begins.
One thing is for sure, however the Sailors' defense will be forced to shut down several Huskies' threats, including the team's leading scorer, Ligouri. He has five goals and three assists on the season.
Other top players for the Huskies include Raul Chavaria, who has four goals, and Peter Brown who has netted three.
Bohlmann said his team will enter the game in good health and he thinks his players are excited about the chance to play under the lights.
And Klohr agrees.
"We are all pretty focused," Klohr said.
"Everybody is ready to play the game."

I learned early in my career as a writer that the highs and lows are extreme. You are either super high (I made a new sale!) or super low (my book tanked). No where do emotions run as high as they do at the Romance Writers of America conference. If I walk through the hotel lobby, I'm likely to see a group of three or four authors laughing and toasting because one of the writers has just had a successful meeting with an editor or agent or found out great news about a book. Anything seems possible.
And if I keep walking, I'm likely to pass corners with a couple of authors huddled together in. One is red-faced and teary-eyed because a pitch didn't go well, the editor did not request the manuscript, or a publisher has rejected a new proposal. The world seems to be ending, and the author's career is spiraling down in flames.
I've been in both emotional places, and sometimes at the same time. In 2008 I was up for the Rita award for my historical Blackthorne's Bride. The Rita award is an award given to the best books written in romance each year.
The interesting thing about being up for the Rita award that year was that I was also out of contract. I couldn't find a publisher who wanted to buy another book of mine, and yet the industry was saying I was one of the best. Yeah. Talk about a high and a low. Unrelated to my highs and lows, our former JQ Emily McKay has a big high tonight. She's up for a Rita for her young adult novel, The Farm. I know this is a dream come true for Emily, and I know we will all celebrate with her whether she wins or not. A nomination for the Rita is a high in itself.
One of our longtime members, Kristan Higgins, gave the awards luncheon speech today, and boy were emotions running high. A room of more than a thousand people laughed and cried along with Kristan. The RWA luncheon speeches are always memorable. I've never heard a bad one. Previously I thought Christina Dodd's speech was the best I'd heard. Lisa Kleypas, Teresa Medeiros, Suzanne Brockmann, and Nora Roberts have all given speeches that resonated with me. But Kristan's blew me away.
Hands down. Best speech at RWA ever. I laughed and I cried. And then I thought, okay, she made me cry. That's done. And then she made me cry some more. And then she made me sob and then she made me so proud to be a romance author, I wanted to yell it from the top of the hotel.
Highs and low. Lots of highs and lows over the years, but one thing remains constant. No, make that two things–readers and friends. Readers remain loyal. Friends remain supportive. The Jaunty Quills, some of my best writer friends, remain steadfast. I can't wait for the conference next year, and even though I know the coming months will bring both highs and lows, I anticipate those as well.

I've seen clips of Kristan and Jill Shalvis which are hysterical but then anyone that can make you laugh like she does, I imagine can make you cry too. Those are always my favorite reads when both emotions are brought out in the story.
I've been keeping up with the goings on at RWA via Facebook and lots of blogs. The happiness simply radiates from all of the lovely authors there. Everyone is just delighted for and supportive of their fellow authors. To me, the word that best describes these pictures is – friendship. I cannot even imagine the excitement I would feel at being able to attend RWA meeting all these great ladies and listening in to all of the fun. It is true that Kristen and Jill are two of the funniest ladies ever. I would love to see them onstage doing a comedy routine. Is there any way that Kristen's speech was recorded for readers to enjoy? That would be fabulous.
Congratulations on your amazing successes, Shana.
I'm hoping Kristan's speech will be on youtube soon. I'd love to hear/see it. Pretty please!
Wonderful post, Shana! It's so true that the writing life can be utterly fantastic, but one must always have the old life jacket zipped up and ready to inflate. And I agree with you about Kristan's speech. It was just about the best I've ever heard – warm, genuine, hilarious, heart-rending, and very inspiring. I loved it, and I loved being there for it with the Jaunty Quills!
Great blog, Shana! My writing theme song is "That's Life." You're riding high in April, shot down in May, but I know I'm going to change my tune, when I'm back on top in June.

A Festival of Postcards Light
This is another of my dad's post cards. It is a picture of the Aerial Bridge and Entrance to Duluth Harbor, Duluth Minnesota. While it has no date nor message on the back, I think it came from his sister Carrie Hansen, when she was going to school in Minneapolis. He has several more from Minneapolis and St. Paul. This one has a row of streetlights along one side and a light house on the other side.
This post is for the Festival of Postcards Light

Sexy Yet Stuctured, Lady-Like Dresses at Lela Rose: MB Fashion Week 2012
Lela Rose fans, whether you're heading to the office or hitting the town, all eyes will be on these elegant ensembles!
-Diana Denza
If you're looking for ladylike pieces with daring patterns, Lela Rose's fall 2012 collection will give you some major wardrobe inspiration.
Held at Lincoln Center on February 12, the show was presented to a venue packed with the fashion obsessed. Inspired by renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava's fresh, exquisite designs, Rose's new collection was cut and patterned in all the right places. Bold, carefully constructed prints stood out against black, grey, white, and rust hues.
And if they weren't printed, the dresses, skirts, and blouses were beaded, sheer, or a combination of the two. Flowing frocks with sequin embellishments provided the perfect contrast to the curve-hugging pieces that started off the show.
Read A Model Fainted at Lorena Sarbu's Presentation: MB Fashion Week Fall 2012
Later, we were treated to the floral designs that have been making the runway rounds this season. But Rose managed to put her own spin on the trend with vibrant reds and silky materials that screamed luxe.
We also spotted Jenna Bush in the front row; Rose, a fellow Texan, designed her bridesmaids' dresses back in 2008.
As a whole, the show conveyed a sweet yet sexy charm that proved difficult for any attendee to resist. The experience could have been improved only if we had the option of trading in our closets for this line. A gal can dream, can't she?

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Citigroup analyst Ravi Sarathy this morning reversed course on Baidu shares, shift his rating to Sell from Buy, and slashing his target price to $95.10, from $191.80. The stock closed Friday at $113.84.
The rating change follows the company's Q3 earnings report this week, which featured lighter-than-expected revenues. The company has been coming under new competitive pressures recently, in particular from the entrance into the search market of Qihoo 360, which already has a strong position in the Web browser market in China.
Sarathy sees three primary concerns about the China-based Internet search firm:
- The company is seeing "weak mobile monetization" due to low adoption of mobile search by advertisers.
- Slowing PC search revenues, with limited upside from total queries, click through rates and cost per click.
- Margin contraction as expenses ramp
He thinks the company's P/E is likely to drop down to be in line with Google, and he adds that the stock is "unlikely to trade at a premium during the transition period from PC to mobile Internet."
The analyst adds that the light Q3 revenues demonstrate how the company's business has change given the normalization of the market after Google's exit from China and the increasing challenge posed by the mobile market.
He notes that revenue growth in the quarter of 489.7% was the lowest since Q1 2010; the Q4 guidance range of 37.6% to 41.8% growth "would bring the growth trajectory back to 2009 levels, a time when Google had one-third of the China search market share.
BIDU this morning is down $6.25, or 5.5%, to $107.59.

The Denton Record-Chronicle recognizes athletes and their game-changing performances. E-mail nominations to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Brennan Ellis, Krum, RB
Krum scored three offensive touchdowns in Friday's win over Paradise, and Ellis had all of them. The Bobcats' new running back carried the ball 31 times for 234 yards and scored twice on the ground. He added three catches for 62 yards, including a 41-yard touchdown reception.
Dustin Ferguson, Ponder, WR
The Ponder wide receiver had just two catches on the night, but they both lifted the Lions to a quick start and a 42-24 win over Nocona. Ferguson scored Ponder's first two touchdowns of the night in the first quarter when he scored on receptions of 35 and 84 yards from quarterback Brady Anderson.
Travis Garrett, Pilot Point, QB
The junior quarterback helped the Bearcats even their record with a win over rival Aubrey. Garrett rushed for two touchdowns and passed for another as he found DaCoven Bailey for the game-winning 23-yard touchdown strike with 28 seconds to play. Garrett rushed for 149 yards and threw for 93.
Brandon Mann, Sanger, QB
Mann ran a balanced Indians offense to help them roll to a second straight win after he threw for 178 yards and a touchdown. But he did his most damage on the ground as he rushed for 128 yards on 17 carries and scored three times, including a 45-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
Connor Wilson, Argyle, DB/RB
The versatile Texas Tech pledge did a little bit of everything for the Eagles in their resounding victory over a quality Kennedale team. Wilson, one of the better defensive players in the area, recorded seven tackles for the Eagles and scored three touchdowns (two rushing, one receiving) along with a two-point conversion reception.

Girls Basketball: Wayne-based teams face tough tasks in PCT
WAYNE - So far, the Passaic County Coaches' Association basketball tournaments have provided little drama.
No upsets, just chalk. That means the Top 8 seeds are still alive for Saturday's quarterfinals that will be played on the home courts of the higher seeds. With the double-bye to the quarterfinals for the Top 4 and an opening round bye for No. 5 to 8 seeds, it came as no surprise that all 16 remain alive.
And that's good news for the No. 5 DePaul Catholic and No. 7 Wayne Hills, both of whom recorded victories in the girls' bracket, while No. 2 Passaic County Technical Institute and No. 3 Wayne Valley awaited their opponents.
Tournament time is crazy, who will wear Cinderella's slipper?
Here's a glance at the girls' quarterfinals.
8-Lakeland at 1-Eastside, 11 a.m.: Lakeland nearly allowed a lead to slip away, but held off Kennedy, 57-47, with junior guard Jen Stoll hitting for a season-high 20 points. The Lancers will need career days from the entire lineup to have a chance. Eastside (16-1) is a shoo-in to win this tournament.
5-DePaul at 4-Clifton, 12 p.m.: This is a rematch of the game played last month, which Clifton won, 52-43. The biggest for Big Green is making sure Clifton junior guard Kelly Douglass is held in check. She's supported by seniors Sara Douglass and Sidnee Maldonado, while Jennifer Koppers and Emily Ulczak are capable of big numbers. Jada Hutchins and Nikki Johnson provide the bulk of DePaul's scoring. Clifton (11-7) is enjoying its best season in a generation, but the Spartans are prime for a big-time performance.
6-West Milford at 3-Wayne Valley, 12 p.m.: The Highlanders have nothing to lose ...only for the third time this season to the Indians (14-2). Brielle Mulvihill and Victoria Torp each clicked for 16 points in the first-round win over Hawthorne, 55-39.
7-Wayne Hills at 2-PCTI, 11 a.m.: Brooke Adamchak, Jasmine Solomon and Shelby Szott combined to score 48 points in a 32-point pasting of Passaic Valley last weekend. It's short drive from Berdan Avenue to PCTI, but Tech simply has too many athletes and favor up-tempo.
The semifinals are Feb. 22 at Passaic County Tech, tipping off at 12 and 1:30 p.m. Championship Saturday is March 1 at Wayne Valley, starting at 2:30 p.m.
DePaul hosts
Saturday's boys' quarterfinals will have plenty of intrigue.
"On any given day," DePaul coach Ryan Hagen said. "There can be upsets and stranger things can happen once the tournament gets going."
8-Wayne Valley at 1-Eastside, 1 p.m.: The Indians (10-9) knocked out No. 9 PCTI, 61-59. Nick Giuliano came off the bench, playing hero when he drilled a three-pointer from the top of the key with 17 seconds left. Liam Connors is Wayne Valley's top scorer and Kyle Greve is capable of producing big numbers. Eastside is on a mission after losing in last year's final to DePaul on a miracle shot. It will take a miracle this time around to beat the Ghosts.
5-Wayne Hills at 4-DePaul, 1 p.m.: Clearly the best quarterfinal game. DePaul (8-8) already owns an overtime victory over the Patriots, but is playing shorthanded now that point guard Jordan Thomas is done for the season with a wrist injury. That's OK because Juwuan Carter, the County's top player, is back at the point while scoring in bunches. Recent 1,000-point scorer Scott Willis is Wayne Hills' top scorer and teams with Dorian Hodge and Erik Martinez. On Tuesday night, the Patriots captured the Big North Independence Conference title after defeating West Milford.
"Wayne Hills play aggressive, physical defense, their guards have a green light on offense and they rebound the basketball well. They feature a very good three-guard attack, who all can shoot the three and take it to the rim," Hagen said.
6-West Milford at 3-Hawthorne Christian Academy, 1 p.m.: Face it, no one thinks HCA has a chance of winning, but this might be the year. The Defenders are undefeated, but a weak schedule is responsible. At 6-foot-8, Alex Thomas is a Division I talent and leads HCA, which has five seniors in the starting lineup. Luke Basket and Tom Pegel lit it up in the 65-62 win over Passaic last Saturday.
7-Passaic Valley at 2-Kennedy, 1 p.m.: The main matchup is recent 1,000-point scorer Stefan Minic of Passaic Valley and Kennedy's super sophomore Alphonso Gee. Coach Rob Carcich usually has his Hornets peaking in February for a postseason run.

So, if I go with Smartworks, which DVD should I start with? The "flow chart" on Evan's site is not very clear. (Or I am not very bright )
I would recomend you to go ahead and get Evan's Basic package. comes with dvds and a written book. also when you get started read several chapters ahead it will clear up some questions you will have. when you finish this Basic program you will have a hunt dog better than most average guys in the field AND your dog will have the tools to go on into advanced training. good luck with your dog!

You aren't far from a couple of great clubs. Lee Kay is where most of the training days are held. An hour is not too far to go to train with good, friendly folks. Steve Shaver also posts to RTF and I'm sure would be a good resource. Again, the Utah folks are wonderful and are comprised of some folks with very talented dogs and the knowledge to see which direction you should take with your dog. If you get bitten by the bug-instead of thinking an hour is too far to go, you'll be on the road to ID, MT, etc. On that note-the Billings folks are special and a weekend training with them is worth the drive.
Good luck!!

JMHO, but if this dog is age 2 and you still don't have his OB solid, 'maybe' you should have some basics done by a pro if the budget allows for it. It seems like it would give you and dog a jump start if you really do want to pursue this. And I don't mean to be negative - just realistic
I don't read it as the Dawg in question can't do anything. Just that the owner wants to know what to do. Just cause a dog is 2 don't mean it has been in constant training all that time. Once upon a time some folk never even started actual training until a dog was 2, so I hear. And dogs don't know how old they are, only what cubbord the biskits are in.
