Deputies say the crime ring stole jewelry, coins and cash so they could buy oxycodone
Four young women trying to fund their drug habits banded together to form a burglary ring, the sheriff's office says.
They hit more than 20 homes across the Sarasota area over the past two weeks, playing different roles as they collected jewelry, cash, an iPad and even collectible coins.
The women would knock on doors of homes and break in, while one of them acted as lookout and another drove the get-away car, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.
On Thursday, deputies searching for the suspects stopped a silver Kia carrying three of the women as they were driving near Lockwood Ridge and University Parkway. Inside the car was "a plethora" of stolen jewelry, according to an arrest report.
Samantha Smith, 19, was driving with Brandy Kinney, 19, Alyssa Conrad, 23, as her passengers, the report states.
The three women told deputies that Caroline Catarzi, 20, was their ringleader, and that they had been breaking into homes around Southgate to pay for their oxycodone addictions.
A detective had already interviewed Catarzi, who was booked into the county jail in August after she stole her father's flat screen plasma television and pawned it, according to an arrest report. Catarzi denied any involvement in the burglaries.
Susan Furrow was one of many people in Southgate whose homes had been targeted.
Last week, Furrow said she came home about 6 p.m. to find the bottom pane of her kitchen window missing and the light in her bedroom closet on.
"I immediately grabbed my dog and I left," said Furrow, who has lived in her home on Sunnybrook Drive for two and a half years, said she had never been burglarized before and none of her neighbors had anything stolen lately.
When she returned with sheriff's deputies, they found jewelry, valuable coins and cash were missing.
The burglary of her home seemed strategic, Furrow said, like the women knew exactly where to look. Her house was not ransacked and the burglars even put the key to her safe back in the drawer where they must have found it, she said.
As of Friday afternoon, the sheriff's office had not told her they arrested suspects.
Furrow did not recognize the names or faces of any of the women.
"Was it random? I have no idea. Were they casing the joint, so they knew when I'd be gone? I don't know," she said.
Furrow said her jewelry was like her insurance. She estimated she lost between $12,000 and $13,000.
"It's like being violated, not only your personal safety, but things you collected for years, and their sentimental value," she said.
Sarasota police detectives have recently recovered more stolen jewelry, an iPad and other items at a Sarasota home and various pawn shops.
One of the women may have knowledge of home security systems. An employee at EMG Alarm confirmed Friday that Kinney worked in the company's "central station," where home alarms are monitored.
This is the first time Kinney has been booked in the county jail, while Smith and Conrad have prior bookings. Smith was arrested on an auto theft charge in 2009. Conrad's prior arrests include an auto theft charge in 2007 and a drug possession charge in 2011.
Each woman faces five counts of burglary, and Conrad and Catarzi are each charged with one count of fraud for providing false information to a pawn broker and one count of dealing in stolen property.
More charges against the women are likely. They are also suspects in numerous burglaries that the Sarasota Police Department is investigating.

It happened only a few days after my column several weeks ago on milestones.
It happened only a few days after my column several weeks ago on milestones. Our son�s marriage � our last child to take the plunge � to his beautiful bride was one of the milestones of which I wrote. Their wedding in the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains in Virginia overlooking a vineyard and apple orchard at 5 p.m. on a perfect Friday evening was memorable. It was a milestone both to celebrate and write about.
But less than a week after this happy event in northern Virginia, an unexpected and tragic milestone happened, also in northern Virginia. A fellow Marine�s son, he only a few years younger than our recently married son, took his own life. His funeral was just outside Quantico, Va., called �Crossroads of the Corps� because so many Marines cross through Quantico during their service in the Corps.
The young man who took his own life had apparently come to his own crossroads and decided he could travel no further on his earthly amble. Only 24 years old, he was also a Marine, having been honorably discharged only two months earlier.
The highs of a young marriage and the lows of a young death occurred all in the short span of a week. For most of us, those highs and lows define our lives on earth. Death a low? It�s inevitable, isn�t it?
Yes. But though inevitable, human death is tragic even when it occurs � expectedly � late in life and even if it�s the result of one�s actions or inactions. All human life has value. We dehumanize ourselves if we believe otherwise.
But death is particularly tragic, I think, when such a young man as my friend�s 24-year-old son was depleted of all reason to live, that even 60 possible years of remaining life ahead of him was not enough time to solve the problems that troubled him.
Though his death was tragic, his life was not in vain. In 24 years, this young man packed a lot into his short life. In it was much service as an Eagle Scout and as a Marine. In it was much love as a son, brother, husband, comrade and friend.
Yet he leaves a grieving wife, a mother and father, a brother, and many friends and family behind. It is now for them � for us � to ponder the questions of why and what might have been.
It is these cycles of highs and lows � of milestones and crossroads � that define our lives. And, frankly, make them worth living.

Aimed at providing young people in underserved communities with opportunities for employment that will impact public health and wellness, Attorney General Maura Healey has opened the application period for grant funding for an estimated 150 summer jobs across Massachusetts.
Beyond increasing youth employment, the Healthy Summer Youth Jobs Grant Program will use $300,000 in settlement funds to focus on promoting physical wellness and disease prevention among the state�s young people.
�This grant program provides much-needed summer jobs for young people that have direct positive impacts on their communities, and helps them to learn more about healthy living and wellness,� said Healey. �We are pleased to continue providing this funding each year in order to provide jobs for young people, benefit underserved communities and advance public health across the state.�
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in July 2016, 11.5 percent of people 16 to 24 years old were counted as unemployed. Additionally, research has shown that health and wellness factors are strongly tied to income levels and that children from lower-income homes are more likely to be overweight and in poorer health than those from higher-income homes.
Examples of healthy summer youth jobs that could receive funding could include, but are not limited to:
��Working as a coach, team leader or mentor for a pre-existing sports or fitness activity for low-income youth.
��Working at a community health center.
��Collaborating on a public health or health-related environmental justice project.
��Working as a teacher or teacher�s assistant for an exercise or physical fitness class for low-income youth or seniors.
��Activities that are directly related to health care or the management or prevention of chronic diseases for low-income youth.
The attorney general�s office will issue grants to municipalities, other agencies and nonprofits within the state that serve low-income and/or at-risk youth.
Grant awards will fund youth employment from July 10 through Aug. 25. Interested applicants can visit the attorney general�s website, http://mass.gov/ago/grants, for more information and for application instructions. Applications must be received by 4 p.m. May 12.

Facebook is a haven for job recruiters, and now that Graph Search is in place we're finding out that means all sorts of… recruiters. Gangs have been known to look for potential new members via Facebook, and even a Canadian escort service has joined in to find new faces. While recruitment to an escort service itself isn't breaking any rules, the Canadian Press reports that this company was knowingly recruiting or contacting underaged girls on Facebook.
A 17 year old girl came forward with this news to The Daily Dot, which has uncovered the seedy underbelly of recruiting for positions via social media. All it took was for the escort service to offer its services to underaged girls, and to ask for referrals from these girls with an attractive salary of $500 per day. The escort service declined to admit that it had done something wrong in the first place, citing the fact that it doesn't actually employ these minors, but the Canadian government has discovered that the escort service was being run illegally without an operational license and it has thus been forced to close its doors.
If anything, this should service as yet another warning to clean up your profile. It could mean the difference between a message from a dream employer and an escort service.

The Top Job was written by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel and illustrated by Robert Neubecker. This title is on my list of favorites this year for ages 4-8. There are depths for many ages and I was amazed at the older students' interest. Students keep asking questions and want to know much more after hearing this story. The boys in particular paid attention to every detail of the tools, equipment, and journey to the top. Just tell me, why did I ever ask them "Does anyone have any questions?"
- "Are there really sticky-bottomed climbing books?" asked one group.
- "What is that famous New York landmark?"
- "Do people really do that?"
- "Why don't they just have robots go up there and change the most important lightbulb in NYC?"
- "Why did the illustrator do that? Can I do that, too?"
- "Why don't we have career day?"
- "Would you read it again?"
Another Day in the Milky Way was written and illustrated by David Milgrim. Since I have many of his Pip and Otto titles, I wanted to see if this title had anything to do with constellations. Not! But it was a funny alternate universe for our character to wake up in.
Leaves by David Ezra Stein captured me with these two sentences:
until the first leaf fell.
"Are you okay?" he wondered.
I was hooked. The simplicity and yet honest wonder is so perfect for my youngest students. David knows what little ones are thinking as they watch the leaves. The illustrations are exactly what I needed for my fall unit.
We can role-play this with my autistic, visually impaired and preschool.
My kindergartners can rejoice at how bear learns about the seasons. (This gives them the chance to be superior in knowledge for once!)
My older students can use this as a writing model for point of view and prior knowledge.
Thank you, David! This title is now on my perpetual re-order list for fall. I can't wait to bring this title back out in Spring after our hibernation unit ends.

Low-profile, high quality, four-channel wireless.
The AKG DMS70 Quattro is a professional digital 2.4GHz wireless microphone system for worldwide, license-free operation. With 24-bit, 48kHz audio coding, it provides uncompressed studio-quality transmission and a linear frequency response, for uncompromising vocal and instrumental performances.
This system comes with one handheld microphone transmitter and one beltpack instrument transmitter. The mic capsule in the handheld transmitter is from the AKG D5 microphone, a professional quality hypercardiod dynamic that sounds great, with crisp, clear high frequency response and a warm, deep bass response. The beltpack DPT-70 transmitter features 1/4" input and a standby switch. Both systems are good to 100 feet line of sight.
Additionally, the DSR-70 receiver is a four-channel system, each with discrete XLR outputs and individual volume controls. There is also a summed single XLR output if you are short of input channels on your mixing console and you prefer to use the per-channel volume control on the receiver to adjust the relative volumes that way. Another really sweet feature is the fact that you can turn off all four transmitters from the receiver. It comes with a rackmount kit as well.
128-bit AES standard encryption prevents tapping of the audio signal, which makes it a perfect companion for high-security conferences. The dynamic frequency selection (DFS) ensures that only the cleanest frequency bands are automatically selected for the connection between receivers and transmitters. The DMS70 is up and running in fractions of a second. The digital receiver and transmitter diversity provide rock-solid, drop-free signal transmission. A maximum of eight channels can be operated simultaneously.

The Myth Of The Original Content Creator
from the what's-original? dept
This is a myth that is all too often found in IP law -- both in patents and in copyrights. This concept of the "original creator" of a piece of work. All works are built on those that came before. All works are inspired by and use bits and pieces of what they've learned or what they've seen, heard and felt. Pretending that there is a true original creator who deserves credit, money or control is a problem -- because it means no new creative works could be done without getting permission. That would be a tremendous hindrance on creation -- rather than progress (as the Constitution intends).
But because of this false belief in an original creator, Fischer creates some tradeoffs that don't really occur. Specifically, he notes:
If we move toward making content free for copying, distribution and remixing, the professional creators and their distributors will have an even tougher future. Erosion of the copyright system comes at a price. If we have to choose between encouraging original creativity and remixing, why not err on the side of encouraging the originators?There are multiple problems with this statement. It makes the assumption that allowing free copying of your works makes it harder to earn money. Yet, that's not what we're seeing at all. Those who put in place smart business models have found that it's even easier to make make a lot more money than in the previous method. Erosion of the copyright system does not come at a price. It merely changes the business model around, and opens up tremendous new opportunities. And that's for everyone because it makes the process of building on the works of others easier -- and since all creativity really does come from building on the works of others, then creativity has the ability to flourish.
So, let's get rid of this myth that there's some "original content creator" and that said "original content creator" needs to be "protected." Neither point is true. Every content creator is building on the works of others, and there are plenty of business models that can be put in place easily that don't require "protection" at all. It may be more difficult for someone who makes their living helping enforce those protections to see it, but we're seeing it every day. Why block off all those innovative new content creators just because of a couple of myths?

RENO, Nev. — There are Swiss watches that aren't as reliable as Luke Harangody. No need to wind him up. He rebounds, he hustles, he gets to the foul line.
Harangody played back to back games at the NBA D-League Showcase, averaging 22.5 points and 14 rebounds. Tick, tick, tick.
All the things that made him a former Big East Player of the Year are still there every time he steps onto the court. So, too, are the questions. At 6-foot-7, he can tear up the D-League. But can he take the step back up to a permanent place in the NBA?
A second-round pick in the 2010 draft by the Celtics, Harangody was traded to the Cavaliers where he appeared in 42 games over two seasons. He averaged 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in 15 minutes a game. But he was cut in November, underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and recently was traded from the Canton Charge to Ft. Wayne.
"It wasn't really a negative considering what's happening in Cleveland and with the organization," Harangody said. "It's good to be in Ft. Wayne with a good group of guys. I've only been with them about a week, and I'm still learning about how other guys play and they're still learning about me. It's been an easy transition for me."
He plays the game in the manner that made him familiar and successful at Notre Dame, with a nose for the ball, ability to clean the glass and a willingness to mix it up on the inside. It was that style that enabled Harangody to average 19 points and 12 rebounds in 19 D-League games last season, almost getting Canton to the finals.
But it would seem in order to find a place in the NBA, Harangody is going to have to develop a more consistent mid-range game or 3-point shot and that's still not there. He's 5-for-15 from behind the arc in his first five games with the Mad Ants. And with his lack of size, he has trouble making defensive stops in the lane.
"I'm working on my outside shot, but that's really no different than the work I do on the rest of my game," Harangody said. "I think coaches always know what they're gonna get from my game. I have to be more consistent at times. What I do out there is what they see — hustle, energy, getting on the glass. Just getting there and mixing it up for the team, doing the dirty work."
It's consistent. It's tough. It can be devastatingly effective in the D-League. But will it be enough to ever carve out a place in the NBA?

Hi ladies,
have any of you experienced mild ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome after egg retieval. It has now been one week since my embryo transfer and I'm still really swollen.
My doctor said the symptoms should disappear if i do NOT become pregnant and would last for 7-8 weeks if I do.
Can you guys share your experiences if you have been in my shoes?

So here is my team, pick 14 in a 14 team league
A Bradshaw
Fred Jackson
Evan Royster
Julio Jones
Greg Jennings
Stevie Johnson
Darius Heyward Bey
Jason Witten
Kyle Rudolph
New England D
Alex Henery
So Royster got almost zero carries so I dumped him and the best I could find was Dex McCluster who is a rb/wr. Fred Jackson is out for a while and may not get his starting gig back. I cant see McCluster as anything other then a quick fix at RB since he does not play RB these days.
Jennings is hurt and was unimpressive in week 1.
with 2 rb, 2 wr 1 flex who should I start next week?
also what about Whitten at the TE spot, I hate wasting 2 spots for a TE.
I have a trade block for a wr/te for a rb and we shall see what comes of that if anything.
I won last week but I am in trouble already

OPM: Here's everything you need to know ahead of PS4′s launch. When's it out? What's in the box? Where do the disks go? If you've any questions about the new PS4 DualShock, PS Plus, trophies, backwards compatibility or anything else then this should take care of it all.
Man I am itching to get a PS4.. Don't know if I can wait till November lol.
Have to agree there, kinda feels like the ps2 launch all over again, cant wait, have to buy two though cause the son wants one for christmas, means no xbox one for me but i can deal with that for now, cant wait for drive club, killzone and a few third partys, will also be getting knack for the "son" lol
For me the only thing on the XBONE that was even remotely tantalizing was TitanFall but I have a 360 so I will pick it up on there... As for the PS4 I am getting
Killzone: Shadow Fall
Drive Club
Watch Dogs
Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag
Battlefield 4
and Knack at launch.. I want to support Cerny and any new IP's Sony releases.. I pray that Sony never turns their back on new and original IP's like the other two companies have.. Its probably my favorite aspect of the PlayStation experience..
That list looks very similar to my own, i kinda want the new forza, but am a bit worried by the one, i got stung with the original 360 5 times in two years with rrod, luckly micro replaced them but it was still a hassle, actually got rid of xbox for about a year untill the gears 3 one came out, couldnt help myself, in short ps4 day 1, xbox one wait and see.
Forza looks good but not worth $499 for the ONE. I actually didn't get the 360 until the new slim because of RROD, Disc read error, Disc mutilation, and the lack of features standard on the PS3.. I know of a lot of people that were burned repeatedly over the shoddy hardware.. But the Slim seems to be the console they should have built from day one... Whats your PSN id and Gamertag I'll add you..
Gamertag: moparful99
Wow, you have owned 6 X360's now that is commitment. Also shows the lack of quality manufacturing & testing by MS!!
Does not bode well for the X1, especially hearing rumors that once again MS are rushing the X1 due mainly due to Sony's launch window.
I still have my original launch PS1, PS2 & PS3, all 3 are working perfectly to this day.
Saying that, i still have a working Atari 2600!!
@ moparful99
psn xTSxRetro
xbl IR3TR0UK
@ snipercontrol i had the original red resi evil 360 too traded in for an elite when it started disk read error crap, that elite then got sold and i took about a year out untill the gears console came out, only reason i stuck with it was because micro replaced the consoles, and yeah those rumors are whats making me wait on the one, dont want the hassle again lol
yea you probably will play Knack as much if not more than him. lol
I'm counting the days.
FROM ARTICLE: It says Move is compatible, and that is all they had. But Sony has also confirmed that the PlayStation Pulse Elite Headset is also compatible. Don't know about the standard edition. I'm glad, because I spent enough for that thing, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna use the ear-bud mic thingy included.
Anybody else get excited over the box art? For you guys that buy multiple titles at launch.....how do you balance your gaming?......especially multiple fps titles.
Ohhh, and I hate websites with the multiple clicking.
people wondering if headsets will work with the ps4 obviously forgot how awesome bluetooth is. id bet my copy of the last of us that any bluetooth capable handsfree device will work with the ps4 esp the ps3 headsets. im using a jawbone headset on my ps3 just remember guys sony doesnt do proprietary anymore and prob never will. have faith in sony. Have they let us down yet with the ps4. changeable hdd, lithium ion batteries in controllers, move controller support, slot loading faster blu ray drive, 4gb extra gddr5, gaiki ps3 streaming and i bet alot of streamed games will be free for psn plus users,only using 1gb of ram for os, saying they can do cloud gaming like ms but not bragging about it cause they know its nothing to brag about. sonys not perfect but unlike ms they learn from their mistakes.
people actually want knack? convinced it was suppose to come bundled in,looks like a fake ass kameo.... $59.99 yeah,no.
I may pick up a X1 three/four years down the line, but only for Forza. In the mean time, PS4 at launch :D
im not sure if its coming to the 360, but its coming to pc, along with most exclusives shown at e3, even dead rising 3 is a timed exclusive. the only exclusive that looked interesting was ryse, but playstation got god of war
dude it's only5 months away.... not that much ;)
Yeah - i have never been excited about a console till the ps4. XBOX One can wait for me - till they come out with a slim version. My PC is more powerful but every one needs a console for their couch though.
Oh god, me neither. I actually postponed putting in my 2 weeks at my job just to wait a bit longer and save up. This will be the first console generation where I can buy one of them on day one with my own hard earned money :D
Yea. I'm a college student who doesn't really need a job right now. ANd my hours kind of suck. The downside is that I'll hardly have time to play the damn thing :(
okay the games in the US are going to stay the same yes? $59.99 so i fully expect UK games to to stay the the same too at £39.99. butif that goes up i'll be outraged.
Will the new clickable touchpad wil be L4 & R4??
Hmm I just realized something. Since I have a Vita it makes more since for me to just purchase most of my games off the PSN and download versus retail. That way when I am using remote play I can play all my games since I won't be home to swap the disc.
What about that cod aye? Man that cod ghost game looks like its gonna suck!
Have not bought a cod since mw2, got so bored of them i couldnt even look at the disks anymore lol
I bought black ops 1 and now im done i hate one button to play games. example theres a bit in blops were you get to "drive a car" by that i mean pressing 1 button
As much as I want a PS4 I want to stay with this generation because not only are there great upcoming titles (GTA: V & GT6 for example), but there are also titles I either missed or wish to revisit. It is down to this factor that I'm going to wait on the PS4 and prolong my PS3's lifetime in the spotlight as my primary gaming machine before I make the upgrade. I wish to squeeze this generation dry of everything it has to offer.
Does anybody else agree?
There are titles I missed and wish to play (such as the entire Bioshock series), titles I own but wish to play a bit more (such as Uncharted 3's Multiplayer) and there are titles that I sold but want to buy again ( LA Noire & Mirror's Edge being two prime examples). The benefits of doing this are cheaper games, a cheaper PS4 when I finally get round to buying one and a feeling of immense satisfaction when I finally leave this generation and look forward to the PS4 with all of its benefits and upgrades.
Same here I have, Tales of xillia and one piece pirate warriors 2 coming out in august, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 remix in september, Final Fantasy X yet to be released and a few games I have yet to go back and finish.
I do agree with your reasoning but i just cant wait, keeping my ps3 for the likes of beyond two souls, gt6 and gta, amoung others like rain plus my hardrive is full of stuff from ps+, but like i say, i just cant wait for the likes of driveclub and killzone amoung others.
There's gunna be an overlap for me. The unfortunate lack of backwards compatibility has cemented that. The ps3 still has a great backlog building up as I speak. Those who don't just jump on next won't be forced to due to a lack of support now. That isn't sony's way
I'm keeping my PS3 but also getting a PS4 day one.. Its going to be difficult to manage all of those amazing games between the two platforms.. This is a great problem to have lol
Heck yes, I agree
I've missed a bunch of games this generation that I still need to pick up. I love me some goty editions :)
And between PS plus and gog.com, I'm overloaded with games right now.
I'll probably crack and pick up a PS4 when inFamous releases though. It's one of my favorite new IP's from this gen.
I too may crack. I adored inFamous 2, I tried to platinum it but the final single-player trophy I needed glitched as the final package I needed to pick up wouldn't spawn in a certain district. Woes aside, the series is absolute gold and I thoroughly enjoy it!
Well you can still go ahead and get a PS4. It will take a while for the PS4 library to catch up to the PS3. I plan on still playing my PS3 alot. Those launch title will be beaten in no time so after that back to PS3 until the next set of games launch like Infamous Second Son which will come out during launch window but not on launch day.
I cant wait to get the PS4. I have new 750gb hdd for it and pre ordered KZ, DS4, DriveClub,BF4, COD Ghost and AC 4
It woulx be awesome if Sony released PS4 in Oct!
That would be great my B-day is in Oct i could get
some video game related Birthday gifts.
I agree with everything thing you've done except from preorder COD ghosts.
Lol..i know even im tired of COD but my brother and cousins are big COD players. Im more a Battlefield, Ghost Recon, Rainbow 6 player...so i just get it to play with them.
Same, i gave up on COD after black ops 1. Picked up battlefield 3 and haven't looked back.
I'm thinking of getting a had drive too. You think it will be better getting a soild state drive??? I know they cost a lot!!! But it's gana be a one time thing, And i want the best for my $.
Ps, my birthday is on Halloween too! :D
Personally, I would go for a 1TB at least. Maybe a 2TB drive. Why go from 500 - 750. It does not seem that big a leap. I can get 1TB for £53 at the moment.
I will stick with the 500GB and then get a 2TB one early next year when the prices drop..
Yeah 500 and even 750 won't be enough next gen. Far too many ps plus games overflowing on my hdd! Good problem to have :)
replace cod ghost with bf4 and you got yourself a real deal there.
Mega excited for PS4! Can't wait :D The below picture illustrates this type of excitement...
god i cant wait anymore. i feel like cartman in that old southpark episode when he had to wait for the wii
Great read,thx. 5 months left to save some cash,I want as many games as my pockets let me get on day one. Killzone,fifa and watchdogs are my first 3 musts/pick. Infamous next year is going to be awesome...
I cant wait i have two pre-ordered just in case..lol
My plan was to wait a year before buying a PS4, but after E3 and the meeting, i just don't think i can wait. Not only that but i've pretty much played EVERYTHING i've wanted to this gen, so waiting a year would REALLY be a gaming drought for me. UGH I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Man this is very thorough. Great article.
I find it cool that sonny are throwing in a headset as well, considering how cheap the console is for all the stuff it has.
It looks like my Vita ear buds might work with the PS4. That would be great because 2 buds are better than 1 bud :)
any standard 3.5mm headphone/mic will work.. (:
Sony also will includes HDMI cable and headset, great!
I was thinking the stand would come with it since it's displayed on the box but I guess it's not. My PS3 is laid down and I remember reading somewhere it's actually better for it than having it upright on a stand. Don't know if there is any truth to that though. Nice to see HDMI cables finally included. I have a question. The nice Playstation wireless headsets will work right? Also I have the first one they released. Did anyone upgrade to the newest Pulse ones? Are they much better than the originals?
I'm almost 37 now but Sony have once again made me excited about gaming.I'm itching to get my hands on Assassins Creed 4,The Witcher 3,The Order 1886,and even Knack.Not to mention that we've not heard of anything that Naughty Dog are working on and given their track record,especially The Last Of Us,it's gonna be a huge boost for Sony.I'm buying my machine to play games on,I couldn't care less about watching tv or using Skype,I have satellite and a mobile for that.Bring on the release :-) good times!!!
and play some 32vs32 battlefield...
Same here, can't wait to get into some vehicle chaos with my M1A2 Tank in BF4.
I'll be happy as long as I have my PS4 for the long Black Friday weekend, I just want to sit home from Wednesday after work until Sunday night and just play my PS4 with Watchdogs & Killzone: SF.
Crossing fingers that the 11-13 release date it correct.
after watching that menu video, i want PS4 more than ever.. PS app on phones, tabs, vita, stayin connected & the smooth interface makes it a must have
I am still on the fence until I see the games in action. Probably not until late august, early september. I pre-ordered the xbox one only because i figured it would be harder to get since they are a little more limited than the ps4. The exclusives for ps4 will be the final sell for me. The systems are pretty similar but I want to see what ps4 does with its extra graphical juice before i commit.
Man... Was it really necessary to put this across 17 pages.
Too many pages. I already knew pretty much all of it. The best info was the picture of the Blu-ray drive slot. That PS4 is small!
"With PS Plus accounts carrying over (we're getting to that) the obvious conclusion is that your PS3 trophy collection will be safe as well. There's been talk of the new socially orientated PS4 using real names instead of PSN IDs so expect some sort of import process to turn your old PS3 account into a new shiny new PS4 one."
Why the hell are they making it so that you have to use your real name? This is something that I had no idea about before reading the article. So much for anonymity and privacy.
no ethernet cable this time then, i hope the usb cable is longer than the ps3s
Could we get a page where everything is on one page please?
I can't be asked to go though 17 pages... 17 hits is pathetic...
But all looking good!
i hate you all i might have the money when it comes out but everywhere i buy games from is sold out on preorders
i am betting i wont have it till January sad sad clown
I'm gonna be so happy and excited when I get my PS4
At E3 I heard "November" as release date, I think PS4 will be out a week before Xbox One, just to tease MS :P!

28 June 2013, Kampala, Uganda - At a high-level event with over 60 participants Uganda's Minister of Water and Environment, H.E. Prof. Ephraim Kamuntu launched the National Strategy to Strengthen Human Resources and Skills to Advance Green Low Emission and Climate Resilient Development 2013-2022 on 28 June 2013, Kampala, Uganda. In his remarks the Minister highlighted that the National Strategy was a decisive step for Uganda to strengthen its national learning system to make sure people, especially the young generation, had the right knowledge and skills to build a climate smart future. "The most important variable that determines whether Uganda is able to address the challenge of climate change and achieve sustainable development is human capacity," Prof Kamuntu said. The Minister further thanked the Swiss Government, UN CC:Learn Partners and the UN Organisations in Uganda for their support to the development of the Strategy. UN CC:Learn is a One UN initiative on climate change learning for which UNITAR is providing the Secretariat.
The event was attended by several senior guests including the Deputy Chair of the National Planning Authority (NPA), H.E. Dr. Abel Rwendeire; the Coordinator of the Climate Change Unit (CCU) and National UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Focal Point, Mr. Paul Isabirye; the representative of the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE), Ms. Rachel Musoke; and Members of Parliament. The Minister of Education and Sports, H.E. Ms. Jessica Alupo, whose Ministry through the National Curriculum Development Center (NCDC) played a key role in developing the Strategy, had also planned to attend the launch event.
The UN in Uganda was represented by the Deputy Country Director of the UN Development Programme (UNDP) in Uganda, Mr. Safiou Esso Ouro-Doni. Mr. Ouro-Doni congratulated the Government of Uganda to the launch of the Strategy and underlined that the UN in Uganda was looking forward to supporting its roll out. The global UN CC:Learn partnership was represented by Ms. Amrei Horstbrink, UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) who highlighted that Uganda was the second UN CC:Learn pilot country to launch its National Strategy.
The national climate change learning strategy of Uganda has been developed though a 18-months process involving stakeholders at various levels and from various sectors, including forestry, energy, agriculture, fisheries, lands, housing, urban development, justice, finance, planning and economic development. Prof. John Kaddu, Makerere University presented the main recommendations made by the Strategy, including inter alia:
- Build capacity and strengthen the UNFCCC National Focal Point for Uganda (CCU MWE).
- Strengthen human resources and skills in the Department of Meteorology for climate change monitoring.
- Strengthen skills for mainstreaming climate change in other key sectors such as agriculture, water, and energy.
- Support on-going efforts to integrate climate change learning in curricula from the primary to the tertiary level.
- Assess the impacts of climate change learning.
- Harmonize climate change learning among different institutions and levels.
Some of the recommended actions outlined in the Strategy have already been initiated. The National Curriculum Development Center is partnering with the Climate Change Unit and the UN Children Fund (UNICEF) to develop and pilot-test resource materials on climate change for upper primary education building on important work supported by the Danish Government. Moreover, the Climate Change Unit is working with the Least Developed Country Environment Center (LEC) and Makerere University on a training programme for Climate Change Desk Officers across various Ministries.
About UN CC:Learn
UN CC:Learn is a partnership of 33 multilateral organizations which supports Member States in designing and implementing results-oriented and sustainable learning to address climate change. The Secretariat for UN CC:Learn is provided by UNITAR. An important aspect of UN CC:Learn is to support countries in developing a National Strategy to Strengthen Human Resources and Skills to Advance Green, Low Emission and Climate Resilient Development, through a multi-sectoral and multi-stakeholder process. During the course of 2012-2013, Benin, the Dominican Republic, Indonesia, Malawi, and Uganda are participating as UN CC:Learn pilot countries. Core funding for the 2011-2013 implementation phase of UN CC:Learn is provided by the Swiss Government.

I just got my hands on this lovely Xu-Fu, Cub of Xuen this week and I think that it's quite strong for PvP but I haven't made any good comps with it yet. I'd like to use Feed as a selfheal to keep the pet up, but otherwise I'm not sure what to do.
Do any of you forum posters have any suggestions on what comps would be good in PvP
Thanks for reading

Andriasang: It's been a couple of months since we last heard about Alvion's new downloadable PS3 action title Malicious. At long last, it looks like the publisher getting ready to tell us what exactly the game is, as this week's Famitsu has first solid details to go along with the eye catching screenshots that were released back in June.
Talk about insane. Looks like a superman mixed with serge.

AMD announced at the MeeGo conference that the chip maker will join The Linux Foundation's MeeGo project, pledging not just encouragement but also engineering expertise - which hopefully means developers and plain ol' cash.
"MeeGo represents an exciting, open-source mobile operating system we expect to be adopted by mobile and embedded device makers over time," said Ben Bar-Haim, AMD's corporate vice president of software development, "We are glad to provide engineering resources to joint industry efforts like MeeGo and expect that this operating system will help drive our embedded plans and create expanded market opportunities for our forthcoming Accelerated Processing Units."
Of course, this is not entirely altruistic, as Bar-Haim already hints at. AMD pretty much missed the netbook revolution, doesn't play a role in smartphones, and they're not playing much of a role in the tablet frenzy either. By expressing support for MeeGo and maybe even dedicating some actual resources to it, they are probably hoping to grease the wheels a bit in this department.
Altruism or no, The Linux Foundation is rightfully happy with AMD's support. "Built from the ground up for a whole new class of mobile computing devices, MeeGo gives companies like AMD and its partners unlimited opportunities to accelerate innovation for the next generation of computing," said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation, "As an existing Linux Foundation member, AMD will be an important and valuable contributor to the MeeGo Project."
Hopefully, this will help MeeGo mature even faster. New platforms means more competition, and more competition is always good for us consumers.

Wherever there's trouble, Joy of Webcomics is there
This means that plenty of angst from critics about being shunned, speculation over whether or not Paramount was gaming Rotten Tomatoes, and general handwringing over the transformation of "A Real American Hero" to a bunch of international grunts. (I liked the movie, personally. Rossman nailed it when he said it was basically a Saturday Morning Cartoon come to life.) A few webcomic creators also weigh in:
- PvP is driven mad by the over-use of the word "Joe," but not too upset over the visually appealing Sienna Miller.
- Hi-Jinks Ensue runs a gag about too many explosions … which, let's face it, could've been used for any summer action movie, but did echo something I said coming out of the theater.
- Interestingly, Shortpacked!, provider of Joe-related content for years, has been quiet on the movie. The world isn't right when there's no GI Joe movie commentary in the Shortpacked! comic. So, anyway, let's revisit this classic.
- And, just for fun, here's an animated music video Dr. Smoov did two years back with Serpentor rapping the Busta Rhymes classic "Whoo-Hah!! (Got ya all in check)". I figure I'd set myself apart from all those other guys just discovering those Fenslerfilms.
So… not many webcomics about the GI Joe movie. Way to go, Paramount marketing guys. So now, let's move on to other webcomic news of interest:
- Lemuel Pew talks about webcomics and mobile applications at webcomics.com.
- A while ago, Morgan Wick put together a two-part essay on Scott McCloud's Reinventing Comics. Here's Part One and Two.
- Olaf Solstrand, meanwhile, has made his masters thesis about webcomics available online (in Norweigan, though… sorry, Anglophones!). He's begun translating piece in English, though. In one segment that he made available in the linked blog post, he speculates on the nature of digital documentation.
- Comics Worth Reading comments on two of their webcomic faves: Sinfest and Comic Critics!
- Just when you thought you got out, they pull you back in! Dark Horse Presents returns to My Space. Here's a few excerpts from the announcement on Comic Book Resources:
"We've been working on this ever since the cutbacks at MySpace caused the gap," Dark Horse editor Scott Allie told CBR of the move back to MySpace. "The goal all along has been to get MDHP back up on MySpace in the same place that it's always been because we feel that, even with the changes at MySpace, the project is still something that we're very, very proud of. There's still a tremendous amount of traffic despite the cutbacks, and we feel like it's still a great opportunity for us. We didn't want to let this sudden economic problem kill something we'd been involved with for a while."
Going forward, Dark Horse intends to use MDHP as a platform from which to launch new series and other initiatives. "With a lot of them, you'll get your first story for free on MySpace, just to get a taste," Allie said. "What we generally try to do is have a totally self-contained thing on there, showing you the creative team" and what you can expect from the subsequent print book.
- The staff of Cracked has joined us on the Dark Side and put together their own worst webcomics list. Way to jump on the bandwagon late, guys. We were all over this, like, two years ago. OK… maybe I'm just a little bitter that they put together a Most Badass Presidents list to great fame and infamy sometime after I got my own licks. Oh, what could've been. I might be rating US Presidents this day if it weren't for that little setback. Anyway, they're actually pretty original with their selections… not the same terrible webcomics that everyone's been hatin'. Check out the 5 Circle of Webcomics Hell.
Do you know who should've played the Baroness? Aishwarya Rai. Deep down inside, you know this is true.
UPDATE: Whoops! I'd meant to add this to the post earlier, but to be honest, I just plum forgot. Nancy White e-mailed me a link to the Brainz.org site on the 20 Funniest Webcomics! Naturally, I don't agree with everything on the list … different things strike different people funny. (Like Ebert says, greatest lists are propoganda … though the best propoganda suggests at what you should be looking at and what you should be giving another look.) It's always nice to see what kind of webcomics other people embrace. Though I do have one quibble: FreakAngels on a funny webcomics list? Really?

- Nairn beach in winter by Bratach
Voted for by visitors, TripAdvisor lists Nairn beach as the best in Scotland, and 11th in the UK. Locals who know the clean golden sands will not be surprised. Even in winter it is popular for walking with a chance to watch the dolphins jumping quite close to the shore. In between the dog walkers (with their pooper scoopers) one sees kite surfers, sand yachts and recently a Dundee musician miming his song to camera as he makes his latest video. The other bonuses, apart from the safe swimming in shallow water, are the views across the Moray Firth to the Black Isle and the fantastic sunsets. Holiday cottage Nairn is ten minutes drive from this beautiful beach where Peter goes swimming every year on his birthday!

Today was our visit to Liverpool. It is a short report as Amanda was feeling ill most of the day.
We visited Old Rufford Hall in the morning, drove to Liverpool, and visited the Anglican Cathedral and Albert Docks. Afterward, we drove back to Wigan through Upholland so Amanda could see the church where one of her family lines lived.
Tonight we had curry for dinner. That was definitely a treat.

The U.S. Air Force's top officer says the service recorded an "appalling" number of reports of sexual assault last year even as it worked to curb misconduct in the wake of a sex scandal at its training headquarters in the state of Texas.
Gen. Mark Welsh, the Air Force chief of staff, told the House Armed Services Committee Wednesday there were 796 reports of cases ranging from inappropriate touching to rape. The 2012 figure is a nearly 30 percent increase from 2011. The number could be much greater, Welsh said, because many cases are never reported.
Welsh said that "calling these numbers unacceptable does not do the victims justice. The truth is, these numbers are appalling!"
The Air Force has created a special unit to assist victims of sexual assault.

A generic problem
Can South Africa's top generics manufacturer become a global giant?
THE number of South Africans with HIV-AIDS is tragic and alarming. The country has over 800,000 people who need treatment--but only about 100,000 of them are getting it. That is a huge social problem, but it is also a big challenge for business. Aspen Pharmacare is the local firm that is doing most to supply the market with the generic drugs South Africa will need. It now has ambitions to do the same for the rest of Africa--and then to expand into the market for generic HIV-AIDS drugs in the United States and Europe.
Founded in a suburban house in the coastal city of Durban in 1997, Aspen has grown at an average of over 40% a year and is now South Africa's leading drugmaker. …

Thanks to a visionary art instructor and a talented student painter, the colorful mural adorning the walls of the Rolla Children's Library is just about finished.
Thanks to a visionary art instructor and a talented student painter, the colorful mural adorning the walls of the Rolla Children's Library is just about finished.
It took four years for Missouri University of Science and Technology art instructor Luce Myers to finalize plans with the library on a full-scale children's theme mural in the library. The plans were agreed upon this past summer.
"I was thrilled," said Myers. "I have always been interested in art in the community and bridging that gap between campus and community."
Over the summer in her art in the community class, Myers found an artist for the project, Lara Edwards, an S&T biological science major. Edwards, and another student who has since moved away from the area, has been trying to fit painting on the project in between her full load of classes.
"I usually come in on Tuesdays and Thursdays and do some work on it," Edwards told the Daily News. "It has been a lot of fun and a learning process as well. I have done some smaller murals through my church in the past but this is the biggest project I have tackled by far."
The colorful painting contains a jungle scene, an underwater vista as well as an outer space design. She says she gets great reaction from her audience — kids who will pull up a chair and watch her work.
"I love the reaction of the kids," Edwards said with a smile. "They watch me paint and the bolder ones will give me suggestions or ask questions."
Edwards, who will graduate in May of 2014, describes herself as a self-taught artist since she was a youngster. The Rolla native shared that she cannot remember a semester in high school or at S&T where she has not taken some art course. She enjoys traditional pencil drawing and painting.
As if she doesn't have enough going on, she is putting the finishing touches on a 32-page full-size comic book due out soon.
"It is about the adventures of a baby cheetah," she said.
Edwards hopes to have the mural finished by the end of this semester but noted that art cannot be rushed.

Monta Ellis added 18 points and 10 assists for Milwaukee, which has won six of eight games since Jim Boylan replaced former coach Scott Skiles, who parted ways with the team following a season-worst four-game losing streak.
Evan Turner scored 23 points to lead the 76ers, Spencer Hawes added 21 points and 12 rebounds, and Nick Young scored had 20 points. Philadelphia lost its fifth straight on the road, and 15th in its last 21 overall.
The Sixers used a 17-7 run to start the fourth quarter to cut the Bucks' lead to 90-86 when Thaddeus Young stole the ball and scored on a breakaway layup with 6:47 remaining.
Ilyasova made 1 of 2 free throws to extend Milwaukee's lead to 99-92 with 3:56 left. He then hit a jumper with about 2½ minutes to go, stretching the advantage to nine points.
Hawes hit a baseline jumper to trim the lead to 101-94 with 1:39 remaining, but Milwaukee made 4 of 6 free throws in the final minute to seal the win.
Larry Sanders had two blocked shots, giving him at least one in his last 27 games, the second longest streak in the NBA behind Tim Duncan, who has blocked a shot in 29 straight.
NOTES: 76ers guard Royal Ivey made the start in place of Dorell Wright as coach Doug Collins wanted more speed in his starting lineup to defend Jennings. ... Bucks F Marquis Daniels was sick and inactive for the game. Rookie guard Doron Lamb, who was recalled Monday from the NBA Development League, suffered a sprained ankle and was also inactive. ... 76ers guard Jason Richardson did not travel with the team due to left knee synovitis.

I had a number of responses to people from my programming project post: I thought I'd post the responses here, rather than in comment fields.
* On rolling your own: I'm intrigued by the many suggestions to use Sphere Online. I've heard of topcoder and Project Euler before, and decided not to use topcoder for ease of pedagogy (I wanted problems where the key algorithmic idea was "preidentified", so I could give a DP problem in the homework on dynamic programming). I was also not convinced that topcoder focused on the algorithmic aspects of the problem as opposed to raw speed: the fact that it was set up as a time limited competition by default was also a pain in the neck.
* On copying: this is an unsolvable problem IMO. Since I was choosing problems from the pre-canned list at the ACM server, I was at the mercy of the online solution providers. Judging by the results, my students are either very honest, or don't know how to find these sites :). I've spied on the related forums, and they tend to be somewhat militaristic about not letting people post code directly, although hints are always supplied. As an aside, for theory problems this is a royal pain: I've had to mask things in various ways to prevent a google search, and I have my own way of creating problems that I'm happy to reveal to someone who asks me directly :).
* on what to do for geometry: the problem is not the lack of a good code base. In fact it's the reverse problem. CGAL for example has many quality solutions already pre-coded, so I can't even ask students to use CGAL as a base framework. Given the limited time I have before semester starts, its debatable how much coding and test generation I can do on my own, so stay tuned...

Advances in Telephone Survey Methodology
Advances in Telephone Survey Methodology

DescriptionA complete and comprehensive collaboration providing insight on future approaches to telephone survey methodology
Over the past fifteen years, advances in technology have transformed the field of survey methodology, from how interviews are conducted to the management and analysis of compiled data. Advances in Telephone Survey Methodology is an all—encompassing and authoritative resource that presents a theoretical, methodological, and statistical treatment of current practices while also establishing a discussion on how state—of—the—art developments in telecommunications have and will continue to revolutionize the telephone survey process.
Seventy—five prominent international researchers and practitioners from government, academic, and private sectors have collaborated on this pioneering volume to discuss basic survey techniques and introduce the future directions of the telephone survey. Concepts and findings are organized in four parts—sampling and estimation, data collection, operations, and nonresponse—equipping the reader with the needed practical applications to approach issues such as choice of target population, sample design, questionnaire construction, interviewing training, and measurement error. The book also introduces important topics that have been overlooked in previous literature, including:
The impact of mobile telephones on telephone surveys and the rising presence of mobile—only households worldwide
The design and construction of questionnaires using Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) software
The emerging use of wireless communication and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) versus the telephone
Methods for measuring and improving interviewer performance and productivity
Privacy, confidentiality, and respondent burden as main factors in telephone survey nonresponse
Procedures for the adjustment of nonresponse in telephone surveys
In—depth reviews of the literature presented along with a full bibliography, assembled from references throughout the world
Advances in Telephone Survey Methodology is an indispensable reference for survey researchers and practitioners in almost any discipline involving research methods such as sociology, social psychology, survey methodology, and statistics. This book also serves as an excellent text for courses and seminars on survey methods at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The West Nile Virus (WNV) is primarily a bird virus transmitted to other animals and humans by a mosquito of the Culex species. WNV can cause flu-like symptoms and, rarely, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain or membrane protecting the brain) in humans.
The chance of humans becoming seriously ill from WNV is very small. Most humans are able to overcome any infection from WNV by the normal response of their immune system.
York Region's Associate Medical Officer of Health reminds us that personal protection from mosquitoes is still the best method to avoid exposure to the virus.
First, clean up standing water where mosquitoes can breed on your property, including:
Secondly, avoid being bitten by mosquitoes:
If you have concerns or questions about West Nile Virus, please call the York Region Health Connection Line at 1-800-361-5653 or visit York Region Health Services website for more information.

RICHMOND, Ky. – Junior Jen Hoffman scored two goals late
in the game against Eastern Kentucky to erase a 1-0 deficit as the
Tennessee Tech soccer team stole a 2-1 overtime win over the
Colonels in Ohio Valley Conference play in Richmond, Ky.,
"The girls were resilient today, and they never stopped fighting," head coach Becky Fletcher said. "To be down by a goal late in the game like that, and to battle back and force overtime, and then win, was great. Not to mention doing that in a conference game on the road."
EKU's Deja Tennon broke a scoreless tie in the 68th minute with an unassisted goal from 15-yards out. But Hoffman would answer moments later as she tied the game with a goal in the 75th minute. That was her second goal of the season, as freshman Kerri Reid picked up her team-leading third assist of the year.
The Golden Eagles headed to overtime for the third time this season, and Hoffman would put EKU away with her second goal of the game and third of the year. She found the back of the net from 10-yards out with an assist from freshman Julie Thompson seven minutes into overtime.
"Jen had one goal all season before today, and she had two in this game," Fletcher said. "And they were two good goals, assisted by two different freshmen. Today was a group effort. We got a lot of help with some quality minutes from our bench."
The Golden Eagles improve to 3-8-1 overall, and 2-1-0 in OVC play. Tech remains unbeaten in overtime in 2009, at 2-0-1.
Tech goalkeeper Kaitlyn Thacker finished the game with two saves. The Golden Eagles had six total shots, including three on goal. Reid, Krista Kaump, Taren Brown, Kris Cambron all finished with one shot. EKU outshot Tech 16-6.
"EKU is a quality opponent, and they showed it," Fletcher said. "They battled the entire time and it wasn't easy. We have a lot of respect for their program."
Tech will return home to wrap up the weekend against Morehead State on Sunday at 2 p.m.
"Morehead is going to be tough," Fletcher said. "It's a Sunday game which is always hard after playing on Friday. We're going to have to rely on our bench to pick us up."
Admission to all Tech home soccer matches is free.
Hoffman's two goals lift Tech to 2-1 OVC victory over Eastern Kentucky

"The Man From Coxs River" at Narooma
A DOCUMENTARY on a pack of wild horses is taking regional Australia by storm, and will thunder into the Narooma Kinema on Thursday, June 12 with a special screening and a Q&A session with the filmmakers.
"The Man From Coxs River" is the story of Luke Carlon, whose family has lived in the Burragorang Valley since the 1800s.
With the area, near Warragamba Dam, declared a wilderness area in 1987, the Carlons' business of taking horseback tours along the Coxs River was scuppered, but a job offer to remove a pack of wild brumbies from the area gave Luke a chance to reconnect with his family roots.
"It's this classic story of a guy redeeming himself, proving to his ancestors his horseman and bushman skills are still alive," said director Russell Kilbey.
"At first Luke didn't want to take the job, it was a pretty impossible task. I heard about it and talked him into letting us film him removing the horses."
Filmed over three years, Luke's job was made more difficult because the rugged bushland prevented vehicle access, meaning horses had to be broken and then herded out of the valley.
The documentary film has sold out multiple screenings in the Blue Mountains, and is now travelling the country with 40 screenings planned already.
"We thought it was just popular in the mountains because it was made near there, but it's going well in other places too," Mr Kilbey said.
"People are hungry for the story. They are naturally funny, droll Australian characters you don't see much of any more."
The "Man From Coxs River" screens at the Kinema Narooma on Thursday, June 12 at 7pm with a Q&A from the film makers after.
Then it will run at the Kinema for a week or two. Check out more at www.themanfromcoxsriver.com

Horse Boots
Horse boots at Dogwood London
Horse boots are used to protect the horse's legs whilst being ridden or while travelling. Many equestrian activities place heavy demands on the muscles and tendons in the horse's legs so boots are used to give extra support. Boots can also be used to correct problems such as over reaching, cutting and brushing. There is a huge range of horse tack available to equestrians, here at Dogwood we have specially selected the finest ones on the market including the world renowned Veredus boots.
Brushing Boots
These are for horses with the tendency to brush their legs together whilst being ridden. With strong 'strike pads' to absorb the shock, brushing boots protect the legs from injury. Boots such as the NEW brushing boot 'Airflow' allow constant airflow across the leg ensuring that the leg stays cool yet well protected.
Tendon boots
Tendon boots, as the name suggests, protect the horse's tendons with a thick pad sewn into the boot which can both correct over reaching and support weak tendons. They are also used in wet, muddy or extreme conditions when extra support is needed to protect the leg from injury. The Mark Todd Leather Carbon Fibre Tendon and Fetlock Boots protect both the front and hind legs. Made from the highest quality French leather, these boots have a more traditional look than the NEW boots.
Over reach boots
Some horses are prone to 'over reaching'. This occurs when the toe of the hind foot strikes into the heel or coronet of the front foot which can cause injury. The over reach boot prevents this by forming a protective shell over the front hooves. Over reach boots are often made from rubber which easily becomes worn and can flip up, so innovative boots such as the Veredus Carbon Shield overreach boot and the NEW over reach boot are the prefered choice for those that want the most innovative and high quality in their horse tack.
Fetlock boots
Similar to the Tendon boot, fetlock boots are designed to give specific protection to the vulnerable fetlock area. The Veredus Pro Jump fetlock boot offers maximum protection while still giving ventilation through its perforated neoprene lining.
Cross Country Boots
These boots offer all round protection which is necessary for hard impact and demanding equestrian sports such as cross country. Also suitable for hunter trials, national hunt racing, team chasing, eventing and hunting, these boots support the cannon bone, tendon and fetlock as well as giving protection from brushing. The groundbreaking design of the NEW X-Country 'Airflow' Boot allows large volumes of air to circulate in a constant flow ensuring the leg remains cool and well ventilated.
Travel boots
Travel boots offer protection from the knocks and bumps that can occur in the horsebox or trailer. The Mark Todd travel boots are easy to clean and made from ultra durable cordura nylon outer with dirt repelling rip-stop nylon lining. They also have built in scuff plates around the base to prevent the fabric from fraying and also help prevent injury to the coronet band.

Little People Dealing With Big People Problems
The journey from infancy through childhood and adolescence to adulthood is already difficult and confusing enough for both parents and children. Add the volatility of a father struggling with the ravages of Combat Trauma, and you've got a truly mystifying voyage.
The primary instinct of every parent – especially of mothers – is to protect their children. But within your heart this instinct is competing with several others as well: to be supportive, honoring and protective to your husband, to preserve your marriage, to keep yourself safe, to maintain a harmonious and loving household, to pursue your relationship with God…the list could go on. It's more than you can figure out on your own, but not too much for God – and He wants to help you with it:
But if any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. He is generous to everyone and will give you wisdom without criticizing you. – James 1:5 (CEV)
