The mug shot seen here of John Angerer, who was charged with murder yesterday in the 2006 slaying of Longmont's Angela Wilds, is among the most vivid we've seen lately -- but it's hardly the only memorable mug that's arrived of late.
We're only a little over a third of the way into 2010, but we've already been flooded with striking images from accused everymen and women, plus celebrities and those who pose like them -- namely Dustin Winesberry, subject of the world's sexiest mug shot.

Earlier and later appointments may be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays by special arrangement.
Acupuncture is recognised as a fully integrated skill within delivery of physiotherapy/rehabilitation and may therefore play a significant role in the management of your condition. Scientific research and clinical evidence supports the effect of acupuncture for the relief of pain by stimulating the brain, spinal cord and local tissue to produce chemicals that assist the healing process. Following a thorough examination/assessment of your condition and discussion with your physiotherapist, acupuncture may be considered and used in combination with other treatments, such as mobilisation, massage, electrotherapy, stretching and exercise, the aim of which is to effectively promote recovery and improve your quality of life with the broadest range of treatment available.
Acupuncture forms part of the wider aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is based upon a more holistic approach of correcting imbalance of energy. This may be found in injury, or manifest in illness and diverse problems such as skin disorders, insomnia, anxiety, depression and addiction, to name but a few. Advanced AACP registered physiotherapists are qualified to assess and deliver treatment based upon TCM principles to both manage the condition and restore the balance of energy throughout the body. East Devon Physio offers such treatment with Mike Chapman, a TCM trained practitioner and Advanced member of the AACP.

One of the questions that is often asked is "Why does God allow suffering?". Here are some possible answers to that question.
Suffering can occur as a result of poor choices. The consequences of our actions, or the actions of others, are a part of the price of human freedom. We have the capacity to make mistakes, and sometimes we, or others, must pay for those mistakes. If we are free, then we are also responsible.
Sometimes God will use suffering to send judgement upon individuals or groups for failure to follow His plan, purpose or directives. Often this is a form of corrective action, with the goal to get a person, or group, back on track.
Sometimes suffering is an opportunity for us to showcase, or develop, human courage, compassion, fortitude, ingenuity and other qualities that are brought forth in times of trial.
Sometimes suffering is used to draw us closer to one another, or to help us realign our priorities.
Sometimes suffering is used to draw us closer to God. He is able to be our comfort and our strength.
Suffering is not a good thing, but it can be used for good.

Indie developer Paper Machete Games has just announced a new Kickstarter campaign for its Attack of the Gelatinous Blob RTS for Mac and PC.
Attack of the Gelatinous Blob will mix elements from both the RTS and tower assault genres as players control Dr. Blob. The old Doc has the ability to control the blob horde, and can command them to take on different abilities based on what they eat. His goal, world domination with the help of some green slime.
For more details on the Kickstarter campaign follow this link. If you want to get some hands on time with the game you can check out the demo for Windows here. If you're more into looking than hands on action there's a preview trailer and some screenshots of Attack of the Gelatinous Blob after the break.
Attack of the Gelatinous Blob will release during the spring of 2014 if its Kickstarter goal of $20K is reached.

Each day, we choose who we are and what we do. That's the beauty of life. We have the power of choice, regardless of our past experiences or present circumstances.
So how do we make the best choices? How do we align our choices with our purpose? The answer: by cultivating mindfulness.
Being mindful is about being fully present in the current moment.
A daily mindfulness routine gives us the time and space to be present with our emotions, hopes, and needs. Out of this routine, the best choices in life become clear. We're able to make confident decisions about how we show up, the actions we take and the impact we make moving forward.
What makes mindfulness powerful?
Mindfulness requires you to be present mentally and emotionally.
How many times have you noticed your thoughts and emotions have drifted to the past or the future? Mindfulness happens when we choose to be present. Focus on where you are right now physically—where your feet are—and bring your energy to that place.
Mindfulness helps you choose how you want to show up every day in every moment.
Your impact exists in the present moment. Make the choice to show up. See the good—and see where you can make changes. Keep your purpose in mind, and take action accordingly.
Mindfulness allows you to show up as who you want to be, not who others want you to be.
Listen to your inner voice. Pay attention to the spark that's pointing you toward your purpose. Even when others try to tell you who you should be and what you should do, mindfulness gives you the opportunity to quiet those other voices and find clarity. It gives you the confidence to show up as your best self and make decisions that align with the life YOU want to live and build.
Mindfulness replaces daily repetitive actions with thoughtful behavior.
We have a choice in the actions we take. Too often, habit takes over and we don't give much thought to why we do what we do. Mindfulness interrupts that "going through the motions" or "stuck" feeling. It guides you toward positive action. When you take time to be mindful about your behavior, you can better use your talents, create change, and bring more meaning to your daily life.
Start cultivating more mindfulness in your everyday:
- Create a consistent mindfulness routine that you can practice daily. For example, bring a thoughtful presence to that moment when you wake up and place your feet on the floor each morning.
- How do you want to show up today and every day? Focus on who you want to be and the impact you can make right now.
- Shine a light on the daily repetitive actions in your life. Are they moving you closer to your purpose? If not, use mindfulness to bring awareness to your actions and inspire more meaningful behaviors.
If you want to build a mindfulness routine and be more present in your life, join Fit Within's Foundational Growth Experience. Through journal prompts, videos, and exercises, you'll align your thoughts and emotions with your purpose and make choices that help you live it out. Are you ready to tap into the power of mindfulness? Enroll today!

great cold wax/hardener
I use this wax on the edges of my snowboards, really makes the wax job last a lot longer, especially on refrozen granular snow that I encounter often while night riding at Mt Hood. Just apply after the all temp wax and it's golden, the only reason for concern is that it's hard to scrape. Keep your scraper sharp and don't apply excessive amounts.

text: Character, the Primary Reason I Teach Martial Arts Character is indeed the desired fruit of our labor. Matthew 7:16 tells us, "You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?" (NKJV) We strive to present the Gospel and we believe that real heart changes can only take place when we are born again. I am aware that someone can be "good" and disciplined according to the world's standard, however, rejecting Christ in our lives is the greatest demonstration of arrogance that we as humans can exhibit. It is like saying, we can be good and do good things without any need for God. I often showcase my program as one that goes beyond kicking and punching, that is because seeing changes in our students' behavior towards their parents, in school and in society in general, will always take precedence over their skills as martial artists. You can be smart, but without character you demonstrate lack of wisdom. Intelligence has to do with your intellectual abilities, but wisdom has to do with a sharp discernment of what is right and what is wrong according to God's standard. The very beginning of that wisdom is expressed in Proverbs 9:10, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." (KJV) It is important that we are not talking about being scared of God, but about having reverence for HIM. How do we develop that reverence to God? How do we increase in our love for HIM? How do we grow in the revelation that HE is worthy to be praised and worshiped? The key to our program in the development of character in our students is very simple, we teach the Word of God. The Bible tells us in Romans 10:15-17, "15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!" 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?" 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (NKJV) Speaking in a practical way, we start our classes in prayer, have the teaching portion, take time for a small devotional, and then finish with our creed, "Sir, as we finish this class, I promise to pursue loving God above all things, to love others, to love myself and to use all of our talents for the glory of God and for the service of His people." At Casiano's Martial Arts, we recognize that we do not have the power to save anybody, not even ourselves, but we recognize that we can be used by All Mighty God to plant and to water kingdom seeds.

January 2013 President's Letter – Your Personal Brand10 Jan 2013, by Be Heard Blog, IABC/SD News in
I joined IABC three years ago because I felt it was a critical component of my personal brand to show that I was engaged in my own professional development, involved in my community and well networked. Those reasons ring true more now today than ever before.
We hear about our personal brand all the time and will continue to hear about it more as we grow in our careers and as our personas become more public with the influx of idea sharing and communication via digital vehicles.
Last fall as I was thinking about my career path, it was helpful for me to write down on paper what my personal brand is. I have had a hard time articulating my brand and goals in the past, but now I can confidently say what I like, what I dislike, where I can help an organization and what I want to do in the future.
I encourage you to start 2013 doing the same. It doesn't take long to start your formalized personal brand development. And I think you will find it very cathartic. I didn't go through a formal personal branding program or work with a mentor; I just asked myself the following questions and jotted down the answers:
- What do I like to do?
- What do I dislike doing?
- What are my main pillars for success, or in what areas have I achieved success in the past?
- What are my personal goals (for the next 1-2 years and long-term)?
Once I jotted down those answers, it was easy for me to build a paragraph that summarized what I believe to be my overall personal brand.
IABC San Diego is dedicated to helping you achieve your career goals and enhancing your personal brand. Whether it is writing a blog post, speaking at a professional development event, building your leadership skills or growing your network, we are here to support you.
As you think through your personal brand, we would love to hear from you about how we can better serve your needs and the needs of the communications industry. Please feel free to reach out to me at 619-203-7390, via email here or on Twitter.
Best wishes for a fulfilling 2013.
Angie Robert, President

I feel like I'm always coming up with some sort of new plan for post-college, but I think I'm going to stick with this one…
This weekend I saw a documentary about a student trip to Peru. After watching it, I had a small epiphany, and realized that I need to be a camp counselor next summer. I am at the point in my life that I am responsible for myself, and pretty much only myself. I need to do some sort of service while I'm not attached to a full-time job, a family, a mortgage, and have the energy. I am young, and it would be selfish of me not to give back in some small way. As a counselor, I'd still be paid and all of that, but working for a camp (probably a scout camp) will not be about making money, but about serving others. I owe a lot to GSUSA.
I am also very excited about living in the woods. Nature is something I have always loved and had a deep respect for. Spending part of today along the Maumee River furthered my ache to be in the woods again. Sleeping in a platform tent in southern Ohio seems very appealing.
"I went into the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." Henry David Thoreau
My father does not seem to think this is a good idea.

Each year, storms trigger vast amounts of bucks in problems to companies and houses all over the world. In several circumstances, storms which come in rapid succession can cause a few of the harm. Without time for you to restore the prior harm a rainfall storm that is basic could be devastating, creating water damage through pre existing openings in surfaces and homes. Highly durable tarps could work properly like a stopgap until an effective Patch work could be created, and certainly will avoid a large number of bucks in problems that are individual.
Especially during storms that feature winds, there is a possibility of substantial harm happening to company or your house. Extreme hail dropping limbs, as well as the pure pressure of winds all may offer some severe injury, abandoning openings that offer a gap for that next surprise to cause injury that is a whole lot worse. Using tarps to protect over hurricane damage is definitely better than doing nothing till thereis a chance for that fix to occur although thereis no replacement for a real fix work. Tarps can be found waterproof types, in durable that, when correctly attached, may endure actually the toughest of climate.
One of tarps' best top features is their flexibility. Although tarps may be purchased by you with specific destinies in your mind, it is possible to re use them for another thing afterward. Actually, merely knowing you have tarps available will more regularly than not trigger one to abruptly begin realizing ways they may be utilized throughout the house. Maybe you have got a ship or RV that stays lots of time resting outside inside your lawn, or perhaps a backyard that youare concerned about dropping to some late ice within the spring, or possibly you are planning for a doityourself task that may obtain a little sloppy. In virtually any of these conditions, tarps may be used for your benefit that was wonderful.
Whenever there is a stormy period nearing, it certainly is advisable to truly have tarps available. Utilizing a tarp for protection is usually the very best option accessible before you have time for you to provide somebody directly patch a hole. Your tarps could be re-used when the period has handed forever; actually, should you choose to do one to the patching, your tarps could be recycled to safeguard the internal of your house. It makes sense likely to maintain several tarps available in case your home does fall victim to some horrible surprise though you had wish that the house is spared from any accidental harm.

There is some "poetic justice" in the practice of groom kidnappings in parts of Bihar, says Prashant Singh, who is exploring the topic in a quirky way through his debut film "Jabariya Jodi".
Singh said the practice exists because of the dowry system. "Our film is based on some true incidents of groom kidnappings in Bihar, where the groom is kidnapped to avoid dowry. When I discussed this idea with friends, they laughed and said, 'these guys deserve it'. I saw poetic justice there. When there is some evil in society another evil comes to counter that," Singh, who has assisted on films like "Tanu Weds Manu", "Raanjhanaa", told PTI.
The director said the film does not glorify the practice but attempts to highlight the problem of dowry issue. "We are showing what is being practised for years in Bihar. It is because of dowry that this happens. Forced marriage is not a solution to end dowry culture in Bihar, consent is important. Change in the society," he said. "Jabariya Jodi" will see Sidharth Malhotra playing a thug, who helps kidnap grooms and Parineeti is seen as his love interest.
"I wanted to make this film in a bigger set-up and so we needed big stars. It was the producer who suggested Sidharth's name. I felt we should explore him in a different avatar. He loved the story and agreed immediately. "He wanted to do something new, he wanted to break the mould.
I knew I could surprise people with Sidharth and we started working on getting his body language, diction right. He has really worked hard," Singh added. "Jabariya Jodi" produced by Balaji Telefilms and Shailesh R Singh, will release on August 2.

SANTA FE SPRINGS – The computer world is coming to voters for the first time in Los Angeles County.
It means less chances of "over voting" and a new way for the blind and visually impaired to vote without assistance.
The $25 million InkaVote Plus system was unveiled by county election officials Thursday at the Registrar-Recorder's new 100,000-square-foot warehouse in Santa Fe Springs.
"This is the largest rollout of new voting equipment ever in America," said Conny McCormack, registrar-recorder/
county clerk. "We never had voting equipment that had intelligence at every one of the voting locations. We're going to have that for the first time."
Each of the 5,029 voting precincts in the county will receive a precinct ballot reader and an audio ballot booth. The ballot readers will tip off voters if they mistakenly voted for two candidates for the same office, or if their ballot wasn't marked.
When voters turn in their paper ballots, they will submit the ballot into the ballot reader. If there is no problem, the ballot goes into the ballot box.
But if a problem is detected, the ballot will pop back out and a small piece of paper will tell the voter what the problem is. The voter can then go back and re-vote.
"It's hard to believe that these things happen," McCormack said. "But it's been shown that in a presidential election that 1 to 2 percent of the people made these kinds of mistakes."
The ballot reader was tested at 15 precincts in the June election, and at least one voter in each precinct made a mistake, McCormack said.
"In every single instance that happened, the voter said thank you," she said.
While the reader won't tell voters if they missed voting on a particular race, it could, she said. Most likely the system will be programmed in 2008 to let voters know if they forgot to vote for president, McCormack added.
The audio ballot reader provides a headset that a blind or visually impaired voter can use to listen to instructions, vote and end up with a paper ballot.
In addition, voters can listen to instructions in six languages – Chinese (Cantonese or Mandarin), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog/Filipino or Vietnamese.
The new warehouse in Santa Fe Springs eventually will replace a 44,000-square-foot warehouse the county leases in Montebello, said Dean Logan, chief deputy of the registrar-recorder's office.
"In six to eight months this will become the hub of the election process," Logan said.

God's Creation – Man
God created man in His own image. To create is: to cause to come into being, as something unique that would not naturally evolve, to develop from one's own thought or imagination, as a work of art or invention.
God created man out of His own mind, out of His imagination and thought in His likeness and image. God formed man. The Hebrew word for formed is "yatsar," it means, through the squeezing into shape, to mold into a form, fashion, frame, purpose, to determine. The meaning of form is "external appearances and shape of a thing, to mold, a particular condition, or the mode of character."
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and of the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over everything that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over all the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. KJV
God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the Breath of life, and man became a living soul. What God took man out of He gave him dominion over. God made man out of the dust of the earth and God gave man dominion over the earth.
Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell there in.
God made man in three phases or three parts. He made man a spirit like Himself. God fashioned and shaped man a body from the earth and put this spirit man into the earthly body. Then God gave man a will, a soul to rule and reign over the physical earth. Man was given purpose to reestablish the earth in the likeness of God to reflect His glory.
God is an everlasting God and His Spirit will live forever. God breathed His eternal life into man's spirit and now man has an eternal spirit with living soul. The soul is defined as the principle of life, feeling, thought and actions in humans which is distinct from the physical body. It is in the soul, where our feelings, thoughts and actions are established.
We were given the ability of free will so we may choose our actions, choose our thoughts, and choose our feelings. God told mankind "to be" fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, to subdue it, and to have dominion over the things in the earth. To be, is; to take a place, to occupy, to make happen, to make occur, to attend, to take care of, or to devote one's service to something.
The spirit of man came from God, out of His Spirit. He gave His life giving spirit and placed it in man but it will return to God and the body will return to the ground and return to the dust. God will judge everyone according to their purpose and calling.
The earth, this planet, this globe and it belongs to the Lord. God gave mankind the authority to rule, and to reign over the world's inhabitants, its interests, its affairs, its pursuits, its systems, its societies and culture. The world wants to blame God and say He is unkind, unloving to the people on earth or He is powerless to keep bad things from happening. Another lie from Satan is to blame God for the things that man has the authority to correct and rule.
The time between birth and death is called life. What we do with this life and how we live it is what will be judged. Mankind still has the same choices Adam and Eve had, to choose God and His word or listen to enemy's lie and be trapped by this world system.
Man was created to live for eternity but because mankind disobeyed God the creator and obeyed Satan sin came into the world and the man's God -like soul died. Mankind is no longer the creature God created him to be and man's dominion was given over to Satan and he became master over this fallen world. Jesus came and He defeated Satan and brought God's kingdom system back to the earth so that whosoever believed in Him can have this new and eternal life.
The Bible says whomever you obey they are your masters. Life has set before us blessing and cursing, life and death. God tells us to choose life, but it is the choice of our will that will decide. The enemy has become the master of those who are dead spiritually, those who refuse God's provision. To those who accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior they are made a new creation, the children of God and have authority over the enemy.

Ah, Donald Trump. How do we love thee? Let me count the ways…
Donald Trump continues to single-handedly make this the most entertaining presidential nominating process… ever. Whether Trump is attacking the Obama administration, terrorists, Russia, China or his fellow GOP rivals – he always does it with flair.
For example, just look at the way he went after Marco Rubio earlier this week.
They don't know what I'm talking about. These politicians. They are good at one thing, getting reelected. I see these people. I look at Rubio, he's a lightweight. Some people say he's the next Reagan. He's no Reagan, I know that. My hair is better than his hair, that I can say. And I'm a little older.
These people are not going to take us where we want to go. They are politicians, all talk and no action. They are controlled by special interests. It's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. It's time to really bite the bullet and do it right. We have to do it right. I want to be tough and I want to be strong and I want to do these things because if we don't do it, we will not have a country left, we will not have a country.

I did accomplish the goals I set out for myself...and in the end got one of those 'magical' runs. I think I am still a little high from it. LOL. It wasn't fast enough for any money. An 18.16 on a full pattern is not exactly smokin, but I was determined not to rush Moon. Pretty much my goal right now is to implement the changes we worked on for 2 weeks and get them to work during a competitive run. It worked out pretty well. Only 2 bobbles over 3 runs and both of them at the same spot...the 3rd barrel.
On the 1st run, Moon came out of the 2nd barrel so straight he was running right at the 3rd barrel and he wasn't moving over. I picked up on the outside rein to move him over and he came, but I didn't let go of the outside rein and we just went flying by the 3rd barrel. LOL. The positive aspect of that is...He was listening to me. Hahahaha. I can't blame Moon for being the only one with 'sticky spots'. I got in the really crappy habit of using the outside rein to keep him from diving on the 2nd and 3rd barrels and whenever I feel like he is too close to the barrel, I lock up and haul on the outside rein. It hurt our time for sure, but Moon wasn't firing anyway and even with a smooth run, we would have been way out of the money.
His 2nd run, he was firing a little harder, but the ground got me. It had rained the night before and after Moon skittered around 1st and 2nd barrels, my brain just panicked a little bit and I checked him down for the 3rd barrel too much and he didn't have enough momentum to get around it. It's one of those dumb things a person does. In my heart I know that the worse the ground is, the more I need to just leave Moon alone so he can do his job, but my head (and hands) over-powered me and I safetied up. That one I probably took us out of the money. We were only 3 10ths out of the money (sans the tipped barrel) and I know we lost at least that much when I shut him down at the 3rd barrel. :-(
If 2 weeks of slow work did nothing else for us, something started clicking in my head....
Moon actually does require 'help' getting shaped up for the 1st barrel. He's much stiffer in the ribcage on that side and not as inclined to shape his body and round into the turn. However, on the left side he is as soft as butter. I drop a leg on him and he just shapes up from nose to tail and can turn around through himself very effortlessly. We actually spent more time working on 1st barrel than we did on 2nd and 3rd. At first I was like, WTH??...First barrel is our 'good' barrel. But then it started making sense....1st has typically been our better barrel because I DO have to ride more aggressively with my leg and hands. The problem is...after we get out of that turn...Moon doesn't need me any more...Yet, I never quit riding in an aggressive manner.
I really clicked in after the first 2 runs. Moon's first and second barrels had been really good both times. I helped him around the 1st barrel and then relaxed and let him do his job at the 2nd barrel, but both times that I got 'handsy' with him at the 3rd barrel, I screwed him up.
So I told myself, for this last run...come hell or high water...I was not going to use the reins to position him for his 2nd or 3rd barrels. All I needed to do was remember to drop a leg on him. I lengthened out my reins another couple of inches and tied pieces of plastic bag around the knots in the rein where I knew my hands needed to be. I wanted that scrunchy feeling and sound there to remind me NOT to slide my left hand down the rein.
Moon hadn't really been firing like his normal self in the previous runs and I didn't know if he was going to keep that up or fire harder than heck this last time. I was determined to continue with the not pushing him method. Even though I had messed him up both time on the 3rd barrel, he was just running so much more comfortably and confidently...and I didn't want to lose that feeling. Getting Moon to fire is not hard, you just have to ask. Getting him to run at a comfortable pace, in a controlled manner...That's way more of an accomplishment. The speed will come back, of that I have no doubts whatsoever...I just want him to turn it on, on his own.
Right when they were calling the first barrel racer in at the last rodeo...The lights went out. I was already on Moon and ready to make my run. If we had known that it would take like 30 minutes for the lights to come back on, I would have gotten off immediately, but they kept saying that they would be on any second. Moon was getting hot under the collar. Finally I did have to get off and just hand-walk him so he would relax. To make matters worse, there was a huge storm rolling toward us. The thunder and lightening was getting bad and you could smell the rain. All of us barrel racers were laughing about making our runs between lightening bolts...but we were definitely a little nervous.
With the storm almost on top of us, the lights finally came back on and you never seen barrel racers move so fast to get through their runs. LOL.
Thankfully, Moon had mostly relaxed. His heart wasn't thumping anymore, but he was still 'up' and ready to go. He was back to charging toward the gate, so I knew he was definitely going to fire harder this time. I was really going to have to control my urge to push him too hard. I'm not going to lie...It's exciting when Moon feels like that and it gets my adrenaline pumping. The problem is, I have been letting my adrenaline get ahead of my horse. Right now, it's time to work on being up with my horse, but letting him take the lead. It's one of the attributes I have noticed about the girls that win...They have such an aura of cool, confidence when they run. They are there, in position and ready to help or correct, but they aren't anticipating. They are just there, where they need to be.
Moon definitely fired harder this time. He set me back in the saddle his first couple of strides. I let my mind think, 'Whoo-hoo'...but didn't let my body do anything but get re-balanced and get my hands set. I think Moon was anticipating me jumping up and starting to push him and when I didn't he just relaxed and leveled out. I love that feeling too. I don't have to think too much about what to do at 1st barrel. I keep a leg on Moon the whole way and just bump enough to keep his ribcage soft. A couple of checks on the rein and he slides around the turn. The hard part for me is to remember not to jump him out of the turn. So when he hits the backside of the barrel, I have to start telling myself, 'Hold it, hold it, hold it'. I'm really working on keeping my left hand on the horn and using my right hand to hold him in the turn until his hip has cleared the barrel. Keeping my hand down and bringing it back toward my hip is really helping Moon stay shaped all the way through the turn and it's eliminating my tendency to jump out of the saddle before he has finished turning. When I jump up in the saddle too soon, Moon's powerful push off throws me off balance and it takes a couple of strides for me to get back in rhythm with him and the problem is, with the length of stride Moon has...a couple of strides makes it feel like the 2nd barrel is rushing at us and I don't feel like I have enough time to get him ready for the 2nd turn. Panic mode! LOL.
This time I knew I nailed staying sitting through the turn because I felt Moon's hind end slip as he was coming out of the turn and I didn't have to drop my hand to the horn to balance myself...It was already there. Moon caught himself easily and took off running for the 2nd barrel. I kept my left hand down and my right hand on the horn until I felt like I was with him and then lifted my right hand up to the rein. I felt for the plastic on the knot I needed. Three or four strides out, I felt myself wanting to slide my hand down the rein to 'prepare' Moon for the turn, but I instead, I made my hand milk the rein a little bit. That helped control my urge to stiffen up and go to his face. Instead, I kept my hands down, left the rein loose and dropped a leg on Moon. He rounded his body and took the 2nd turn as smooth as you please.
Okay...So that is when I got a little excited. I was like...'OMG...It w.o.r.k.s!!'...and I jumped forward in the saddle before Moon had finished his turn. I was like, 'Oh crap! Now I'm gonna take it with me on the way out?' I lifted my hand up and over Moon's neck and dropped a leg on him. He rounded his ribcage and we skimmed by.
He was running to 3rd and I did remember to drop my hands back down, but about 1/2 way there, I felt that horrible urge to 'do something' start to come over me. My hands were starting to move around and I was drawing a blank about what I needed to do to get him around the 3rd barrel. Fortunately, when my hands clenched on the rein, I felt the plastic scrunching and I relaxed. I don't need to do nuthin! Moon has this. I just need to give him his head, drop a leg on him and let him turn. And that is exactly what he did.
He was running for home so easy, that I relaxed too soon. He set up a stride before the eye and ducked off to the left. We barely made it past the eye and I had to really whip him back around so he didn't run over the flagman. Oops!
I knew that an 18.16 was not going to hold up for a money spot...but that was definitely the run I have been looking for. It was fast enough to be respectable...and yet slow enough that I had time to think my way through it. Moon felt comfortable and strong and he responded every time I asked for something.
it was a huge learning experience for me. I'm always talking about how smart Moon is...head-strong and opinionated as well...
The problem is, I haven't been using Moon's superior intellect to our advantage. I've been fighting letting him take the lead during our runs because I never really felt like I knew what was going to happen. Every once in a great while, I'd stay out of his way long enough for him to make an awesome run and then I'd be like, 'Where did that come from?'. Things that I have perceived as him over-doing my every little request...It's actually been Moon's natural ability shining through. He may need a little help staying shaped to take that 1st barrel, but he doesn't need me to 'help' him when he is turning to the left. It's so effortless for him that he can do it all on his own. All I have to do is remember to give him the room to make the turn and use a little leg to keep him round...Oh yea, and to keep my butt in the saddle until he has completed his turns. LOL.
My trust factor jumped like 10 stories and my confidence level is soaring. I finally have a cognitive memory of EXACTLY!! why this run worked. Somewhere along the line, Moon DID graduate to being the kind of horse I always thought he could be...I just didn't recognize it or was not willing to fully let go enough to let him prove it.
I've always felt that Moon was light years ahead of me in the barrel racing game. He gets it...I'm left trailing behind trying to figure out what just happened. If I was waiting for a sign...I just got it.

NEXT may be mandatory for Foreign Medical Graduates
Foreign medical graduates keen to practice in India may have to clear the National Exit Test (NEXT) instead of Foreign Medical Graduates Exam (FMGE) from next year.
In an attempt to streamline medical education and maintain uniformity in quality of doctors practicing in the country, the health ministry is planning to merge FMGE with NEXT, which has been proposed to assess quality of MBBS pass-outs.
At present, foreign medical graduates are required to write the FMGE and need to show Medical Council of India (MCI) eligibility certificates to become eligible to practice here. Now, the government is planning to merge FMG with NEXT and scrap the MCI eligibilty score and instead introduce NEET score for foreign graduates.
According to the health ministry, in 2015-16, only 610 out of 5,863 Indian students who pursued medical graduation abroad passed the screening test conducted by MCI. However, the number of such students going abroad, mainly to China, is constantly increasing because while seats in government medical colleges in India are limited, pursing MBBS in private colleges here is a very high cost affair. The proposal of NEXT is part of the National Medical Commission Bill, 2018, which is likely to be taken up in the monsoon session of Parliament. The bill, which was amended following recommendations of the parliamentary standing committee on health, now proposes a uniform national exit test in the final year of MBBS course.
FMGE are conducted twice a year and require 50% marks to clear. Earlier this year, the ministry has also made it mandatory for Indian students to clear the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) if they want to pursue medical studies outside the country.

Double Down: Fragile X Clinical Trial Combines Two Available Drugs
Jean-Francois Lepage, PhD, and Francois Corbin, MD, PhD, with MRI machine If all the science world's a stage, Fragile X researchers are more than merely players. They are center stage. So believes Francois Corbin, MD, PhD, professor, Université de Sherbrooke, Canada, who directs the university's Fragile X Clinic. Corbin, who has received more than $100,000 in FRAXA support since 2012, is leading a pilot randomized Phase II trial, exploring the tolerability and the synergistic effect of a combined therapy. They will combine minocycline, which is often used to treat acne, and lovastatin, which is used to lower cholesterol. Both drugs target specific alterations in the brain of Fragile X patients that would potentially have a combined powerful effect on their behavior. "To my knowledge, this is the first time we have a clinical trial with two different drugs combined to act on two different targets," Corbin said. "The combined actionRead more

What is Bipolar Disorder?
Previously called manic depression, bipolar disorder is named for the two "poles" of mood – the lows of depression and the extreme highs of mania. For people with bipolar disorder, predicting and coping with the swings in mood can be very difficult.
Bipolar disorder can also be dangerous for the individual with this condition. The agitation and excessive energy levels of manic episodes can lead to risky behavior, while bouts of depression raise the risk of suicide. Bipolar disorder treatment encompasses medication, psychotherapy and other forms of holistic and experiential therapy.

Did you know? China is planting a belt of trees to protect land from the expanding Gobi Desert. This Great Green Wall is projected to extend some 4,480 kilometers (2,800 miles), stretching from outer Beijing through Inner Mongolia (Nei Monggol). Unfortunately, recent pressures to expand food production appear to have slowed this tree planting initiative.

This morning I went for my first run in at least six months. You could hardly call it a run, given that I moved very slowly for a very short distance. But I wore my new running shoes, the expensive ones my physical therapist encouraged me to buy as incentive to start running again, and I didn't overdo it. It's very hard for me to begin at Square One all over again with an activity I used to be really good at; I don't have a lot of patience for what will probably be months of rebuilding my strength and lung capacity. But forcing myself to take it easy gave me the opportunity to focus on what was going on around me: red squirrel scolding in the woods along the river, robins feeding in a crabapple, a squash garden killed by last night's frost, the perfect cloudlessness of the blue sky on this crisp fall day.
Didn't step on
the caterpillar in the road.
Thought it was a turd.

Welcome to #WorkshopWednesday, my weekly feature with a focus on all things blogging! Each week there'll be tips, tricks and advice on how to get your blog running like a well oiled machine!
Whether you've been blogging for five years or five minutes, you'll know that there is ALWAYS work to be done! It's never ending, which is why we have to find time to complete as many tasks as we can throughout the day. I find that the key to keeping on top of my to-do list, is to assign certain tasks to certain times of the day. It's crucial that I don't attempt to complete tasks, when I know they'll end up being abandoned half way through.
There are some tasks that I find are best completed everyday, in order to keep on top of them. Otherwise they spiral out of control, before we've even realised we're behind! It's so easy for us to shelve things at the back of our minds, but often we'll forget to come back to them later. So, I have a little list of easy tasks that I know need to be completed everyday and I aim to do them before breakfast. Keeping on top of this list is a great way to keep my head in the game and to start off my day feeling productive!
Five easy morning tasks –
Reply to comments left on your blog and social media
Like and comment on Instagram posts within your niche.
Retweet fellow blogger's content on Twitter.
Share your work to blogger support threads and linkys – provided you have time to come back later and complete the reciprocation requirements.
Plan a blog post.
This may seem like a lot to get through before breakfast, but many of these tasks only take a few minutes to complete. Just imagine how much you can tick off of your to-do list if you stuck to this routine. Even it's only for three mornings a week, you're sure to feel more on top of your game than ever before!

Why are boards still so reluctant to appoint more female directors? Are we on the brink of a major change?
If any group has been at the forefront of tracking the progress of women on boards, it is Catalyst Inc., which has focused its international research on issues related to women in business since 1962, and has been studying the pace of progress for women on boards in Canada for the past decade. The firm's research has charted glacially slow growth in female directors at FP500 companies - Canada's 500 largest public and private companies and Crown corporations.
Read the full story
Deborah Gillis, who heads Catalyst's Canadian office, says corporate boards continue to favour new directors who are CEOs or former CEOs of large companies - a candidate pool that has few women in its ranks. And board members continue to come from a small group of well-connected business leaders - a group that many women have had trouble breaking into to become known to board recruiters.
Ms. Gillis took reader questions in a live discussion.
Ms. Gillis has been advising senior leaders in the public and private sectors on human capital and policy issues for 20 years. Prior to joining Catalyst, she held leadership roles in two global professional services firms and senior management roles with the Governments of Ontario and Nova Scotia. She holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from York University in Toronto.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has told the military to transform itself into an elite force, as he oversaw a parade with flybys of advanced jets and a mass rally of troops to mark 90 years since the founding of the People's Liberation Army.
China's armed forces, the world's largest, are in the midst of an ambitious modernisation program, which includes investment in technology and new equipment such as stealth fighters and aircraft carriers, as well as cuts to troop numbers.
Xi presided over the large-scale military parade on Sunday at the remote Zhurihe training base in China's northern Inner Mongolia region, where he inspected troops from the back of a jeep, an event carried live on state television.
Travelling down a long strip lined with tanks, missile launchers and other military vehicles, Xi, wearing military fatigues and a field cap, greeted thousands of troops.

Xi, who oversees the PLA in his role as head of the powerful Central Military Commission, repeatedly shouted, "Hello comrades!" and "Comrades, you are working hard!" into four microphones fixed atop his motorcade as martial music blared in the background.
The troops bellowed back: "Serve the people!", "Follow the Party!", "Fight to win!" and "Forge exemplary conduct!".
Tanks, vehicle-mounted nuclear-capable missiles and other equipment rolled by, as military aircraft flew above, including H-6K bombers, which have been patrolling near Taiwan and Japan recently, the J-15 carrier-based fighters and new generation J-20 stealth fighter.
"Today, we are closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than any other time in history, and we need to build a strong people's military more than any other time in history," Xi told the assembled troops in a short speech that did not yield any new policy announcements.

Xi said that the military must "unswervingly" back the ruling Communist Party.
"Always listen to and follow the party's orders, and march to wherever the party points," he said.
Xi said that the world was not peaceful, but he did not mention any specific hot spots, such as territorial disputes in the South China Sea, Taiwan, or tensions over North Korea's nuclear weapons and missiles programmes.
Unlike a massive 2015 parade through manicured central Beijing to mark 70 years since the end of World War Two, Sunday's spectacle had fewer frills.
Thousands of troop marched in combat garb, not dress uniforms, and vehicles kicked up clouds of dust as they rounded sections of the base's track.
It was the first time China has marked Army Day, which formally falls on August 1, with a military parade since the Communist revolution in 1949, state news agency Xinhua said.
It was also the first time Xi has reviewed troops in the field like this, Xinhua added.
Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Ren Guoqiang said in a statement that the location for the parade embodied a "dust-covered battlefield atmosphere" for the 12,000 troops who participated.
