All in all, the book was quite readable and informative though I kept hearing her voice in my head as I read. I'm not starting with a potpourri of baffling symptoms and trying to arrive at a diagnosis. In this compelling book, she opens the black box of diagnosis and lets us look inside. Sam died of pneumonia, and he had tested positive for Strep A. If you select a health category rather than a specific study, doctors who have active studies in that area may contact you to ask if you would like to participate. Lisa Sanders' work reminds me of a medical file in that it's a disorganized collectio I didn't think it was possible for a book about medical problems to bore me. In this high-tech world of modern medicine, Sanders shows us that knowledge, while essential, is not sufficient to unravel the complexities of illness.
Wainapel and a patient goes, which is basically how every doctors visits go. The normal skittishness of an eight years old was absent in him. A nurse had informed his mother, Megan, that her son had croup. For instance, in this case of Jamal, several diseases could make this problem- we doctors call them differential diagnosis. These books usually mesmerize me. She cites quite a bit of reasearch supporting her contention but is clearly not dismissive of the value of medical testing in conjunction with the physical exam.
She goes on to give an example of another case when people tend to miss something when they are too busy focusing on something else. The doctor treating the patient was able to come up with the diagnoses based on one symptom that they had noticed. The Medical Mystery bits were definitely my favorites. Boredom may not be an illness, but in this review, equating the two seems appropriate. It reminded me of the humanity of doctors.
While it did work and the patient has been symptom free of his thoracic outlet syndrome problem, adson's maneuver is not very well heard of and many doctors question to know if it is worth something. Lisa Sanders is the most acute observer of health care in America. I will never forget the first time a pdeiatrician stood next to me as I looked at a baby's spinal fluid and when I told him there were no white cells in the fluid it looked completely normal he seemed baffled. Through the miracle of FaceBook, after several decades we reconnected. Many of these maneuvers don't work. The This title is far more a memoir than it is a book that is directly focused on the subject matter of the title.
Sure the author throw us a bone here and there, in the form of a very brief patient case, then followed by yet another 50 pages about the physical exam and 10 more pages full of statistics about how doctors don't know how to use a stethoscope. But far more complex than just a story. An illustration of a medical mystery that should not have been the case is that of the patient with pernicious anemia referred to above. The ability to give this unnerving and unfamiliar place a name, to know it—on some level—restores a measure of control, independent of whether or not that diagnosis comes attached to a cure. I think there is a lot in this book that can help doctors become better listeners and diagnosticians. A big part of helping doctors diagnose patients comes from physical exams, although there are a few techniques that overtime have turned out to be useless.
For those interested in the case history type thing I recommend instead Oliver Sachs Awakening and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat I was a little disappointed in this book. And jumps to various chapter headings which almost randomly center on different aspects or various instruments of the patient physical examination by the medical doctor. Instead, the further I read, the more I felt repulsed by the book. I have the diagnosis: boredom -- so my task is to identify the causes. But what sets her apart is her Holmes-like eye for the clues—and her un-Holmes-like compassion for those who suffer.
The man had an anxious face- definitely for his son. The ability to give this unnerving and unfamiliar place a name, to know it—on some level—restores a measure of control, independent of whether or not that diagnosis comes attached to a cure. Often, I will come to know a patient eventhough I never see their face through their lab resutls. As is made obvious from the breakdown above, the book is really a lot more about diagnosis than about medical mysteries, which disappointed me somewhat as I was rather looking forward to a Sherlock Holmes-esque book, like a collection of stories of strange cases and extraordinary diagnoses made by doctors and subsequently collected by Sanders — in short, I was expecting a book that read like a compilation of House, M. Lung abscess was one of the differential diagnosis and the most probable one. I am so grateful that Amy let me read this book. Medical Schools are trying to imprint the importance of physical exams on their students, but based on what Sanders said, I don't believe that many future doctors will see physical exams as an importance.
Unfortunately, uh, there are hardly any patient stories. Written by a physician I respect and a writer I love, the book is filled with intriguing diagnostic dilemmas that will draw you in, and with human stories that will linger in your mind—and heart—long after you are done. Without an accurate diagnosis it is not possible to provide treatment that works in the large majority of cases. No, I had definitely not seen a gorilla. The tales here crackle with suspense. The chapters on Lyme disease which is uncommon in my country and digital diagnosis are enlightening as well.
Sanders shows how the declining practice of the physical exam, as well as problems in teaching it, have left American doctors lacking a vital skill that could have allowed them to diagnose an illness properly, or sooner While Sanders is quick to clarify that the physical exam is not infallible, she does emphasize the fact that it teaches necessary skills every good doctor should have — not least that of careful observation, which is crucial in figuring out just what is wrong with the patient. When the doctors found out it was the weed that made her feel this way they told the patient. The professor advised him an X-ray and blood test. A bearded-man in a knee long panjabi with his wife peeked through the door. Doctors are human, of course, and one can hardly blame them for making mistakes precisely because they are human, but what this book shows is that sometimes, those mistakes are made due to sheer carelessness. The ability to give this unnerving and unfamiliar place a name, to know it—on some level—restores a measure of control, independent of whether or not that diagnosis comes attached to a cure. And yet, while the human brain is the most powerful analytical tool doctors have when it comes to coming up with diagnoses, it is also potentially the weakest.

Dr. Scott VanWagner has been practicing chiropractic since 2000, but he didn’t know until he was in an auto accident that this was the field for him.
He’d moved to Atlanta to attend medical school, and just before the Fall semester began he was in an accident which left him with whiplash. After much encouragement from a friend, he sought care from a chiropractor – and it helped! Not only was his whiplash healed, but also after only two adjustments his lifelong suffering with sports-induced asthma was nowhere to be found.
“There’s something to this!” he thought.
Dr. Scott withdrew from medical school just before classes began, applied to Life Chiropractic College in Atlanta, was accepted, and began classes that year. “I graduated from Life, with many realizations about the importance of the mind, body, spirit connection.
Originally from Upstate New York, Dr. Scott moved to Glen Allen to attend the University of Richmond as an undergraduate. Later he moved to Atlanta to attend graduate school. He graduated in 2000, and moved back to Richmond to open a practice.
Opening a practice fresh out of school was challenging – especially learning how to get their name out into the community. But it was a great time of learning and affirmation that the most important thing is developing lasting relationships with patients based on making them feel comfortable and well cared for.
Their practice flourished on an all-referral basis, and he continues that tradition today in Glen Allen.
Dr. Scott finds training for and participating in these events to be a great personal challenge – one where he can compete against just himself and get better. He loves the fresh air and outdoors, and has made some of his best friends in the running community. These friends are like family, and he enjoys the community aspect found there.
Dr. Scott resides in Glen Allen with his wife Angela and his two teenage sons, Hunter and Chase.
“I look forward to meeting you and building a lasting relationship.” Call (804) 270-3000 today for an appointment.

Waiting for the train – A chance encounter taps into bigger things.
Click To Enlarge To See My Little Engine.
One of the high points of this vacation (for me, anyway) was bringing my little engine to the museum where its big brother resides. Look closely at the photo above, and you can see my engine perched on the running board of its prototype. As I stepped back to take this photograph, a young man stepped forward (into the frame of the photo), staring intently. I waited patiently, but he seemed to be unaware that he was blocking my shot, and he gave no indication of moving. After a minute or two, I asked him politely if he could step back while I took my picture.
“Is the train leaving now?” he asked, in a somewhat anxious tone.
No, I didn’t think so, I told him. “But soon.” (And not until after I had taken my picture and removed my locomotive from the running board! I had obtained the engineer’s permission before placing my prized possession in such a precarious position).
“Is the train leaving now?,” he repeated, leaning forward just a bit, arms flexed ever so slightly.
After chatting with Eli for several minutes, I packed up my engine and made ready to go. At that point I caught sight of Eli’s father, seated nearby. “Thank you,” he murmured in a heartfelt tone of voice. Part of me felt like saying “Oh, it was nothing.” Or, “I used to do this for a living. I can see what others can’t: Eli is a nice young man, who responds to human kindness in his own way, despite his ASD.” But I worried that to say those things might be an invasion of the family’s privacy, or might reduce the value of my interaction with his son: Dad might see Eli’s successful interaction with me as less of an achievement on his son’s part, knowing that I was not an “ordinary” stranger. All of this flashed through my mind in the brief second it took for dad and me to exchange glances. So instead of revealing my own identity or background, I said “I enjoyed it as much as Eli!” – which was also true, but only half of the story. What I didn’t tell Eli’s dad was that I miss patient care, and talking with Eli helped me to fill that void, now that I have retired from clinical practice.
Of course, now that I’ve blogged on this, it’s possible that Eli’s father will discover who I am. But the conundrum is mine, not his, in any case. And regardless of my training, what I did was the decent thing to do, and Eli did respond appropriately. He moved back when asked without getting agitated, he kept up his end of the conversation, and did his best to navigate the real world. Dad also did his part: observing at a distance, and letting his son test his legs.
I’m afraid there are a lot of people who might not “get” Eli, who might have asked him less gently to move out of the way of the picture, or might have shied away from his repeated questioning. Worse still, there are predators out there who ridicule or exploit people like Eli. We are making progress as a society, but we’re not there yet.

Rock Academy Band classes are open to students ages 10-18 who are able to sing or play a few songs. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced musician, we will place you in the right band that complements your style and skills.
For 90 minutes each week, RA teachers work with students on musical elements such as rhythm, song structure, communication, and performance skills. Class sizes range from 4 to 7 students. Rock Academy band class sessions are 6 to 8 weeks long with a focus on a selected artist. When choosing songs that are used in performance, we teach the origin of songs and cover a variety of musical eras and artists.
We are dedicated to providing an exceptional experience by providing multiple opportunities for live stage performances. At the conclusion of each session, all musicians in RA house bands perform in a showcase at favorite local venues. We also provide occasions for all RA bands to play in the Chicagoland including festivals, school events, and charity events.
Rock Academy Beboppers Music Class created for toddlers and kindergarten age students!
The Beboppers music class is a "play-based” hands-on class for our youngest students but not instructional on instruments. A simplified weekly description of the class structure: opening song with introduction activity, an instrument of the day, a song of the day, band assignments, band tour, and a farewell song. One focus would be around the idea of being in “ a band together". Bands need to cooperate with each other, work together, take turns, listen and befriends this is the best way to make great music! We explore different instruments each week. This class is offered as a drop-off for parents if desired. Parent/Guardian welcome to stay but would not be participating.
The main reason to choose Rock Academy as your music lesson provider is that we are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual. Our teachers make it a priority to get to know you and to become familiar with your musical needs and aspirations. At the first lesson, your teacher will ask your previous music experience, favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish your musical ambitions.
For example, a 10-year-old having her first guitar lesson will have very different needs than a 17-year-old taking up a second instrument after having piano lessons as a child. Likewise, a student taking lessons for high school band has differing needs than a student who plays rock concerts.
If you enroll with RA, we will work with you to develop a plan that will fit your needs and musical preferences. Lessons last 30 minutes and you can begin any time (open enrollment). Even better, your consultation with RA teachers is always free.
Our versatile and experienced guitar teachers can teach a wide variety of music including rock, blues, metal, country, and classical in guitar lessons. These styles are balanced with solid fundamentals from nationally recognized methods. Beginner students can expect to work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight-reading and theory. We balance musicianship and fun by making sure that each lesson you are challenged with a new technical or theory concept, but also encourage students to bring in ideas of pieces they want to learn. Students are encouraged to bring CDs or iPods to their lessons to set goals if there are tunes they want to learn.
Our piano teachers incorporate a variety of styles from classical to jazz to popular music in their lessons, developing a sound foundation with nationally recognized methods. Our piano staff will show you the fundamentals of sight-reading, technique, and theory and are also receptive to helping you learn your favorite songs in your lessons. A simple full size electronic keyboard will suffice for the first 6 months. Our piano teachers have warm personalities and enjoy sharing their love for the piano with you.
Our drum instructors teach rock, metal, jazz, funk, blues and many other styles. Drum language can be complex and our instructors will challenge any drummer with a wide variety of technical exercises designed to improve your speed and comfort. All drummers bring in their favorite drum parts to learn in their drum lessons and theory is encouraged. We have many drum students who play in local bands, rock clubs, churches, or our own Rock Band program. You do not have to purchase a drum kit to take lessons! Beginning students can learn with a drum pad and sticks for less than $50.00. Students use our drum set at their drum lessons and do not have to bring anything except their drum sticks and a notebook.
Our voice teachers teach a variety of styles of music including pop, Broadway, folk, jazz, classical and more. Our teachers will help you reach your potential as a singer by including standard vocal repertoire along side songs that you want to sing. Voice students spend time each week doing physical exercises to improve their vocal range, ear training, breath control, vibrato, tone production, enunciation and more. All voice students set goals with their teacher to refine their tone and stage presence andto develop their own unique voice.
We teach all styles of rock, pop, jazz, country, folk, blues and classical.
All of our teachers have music degrees from prestigious universities with at least 10 years of performing experience. In addition to their teaching credentials, our friendly teachers strive to get to know each student and parent(s) on a personal level.
How often are RA showcase performances?
Showcase performances are at the conclusion of each band session, typically every 6-8 weeks.
Can I play community events?
Yes, we give all our RA house bands the opportunity to play community events. Playing community events is based on each bands availability and desire to participate.
Is there an extra recital fee for Showcase performance concerts?
Never! Showcase Performances are included as part of your program tuition. Friends and family can attend our excellent concerts free of charge!
Will all Rock Band students be able to perform at the concerts?
Yes, unless you have missed more than one Rock Band class or if you haven’t learned the songs may not be invited to perform. Decisions are made at the teacher's discretion. We encourage everyone to be prepared so our bands can rock out on stage!
Rock Band classes: Weekly 90-minute band class bills monthly for $150.
Discounts are available for siblings and private lesson students.
Private Lessons: Lessons are $30 per 1/2 hour. Lessons are scheduled on a monthly basis where students come the same day and time of the week.
(March 1, April 1, etc.) $15 late fee will be applied.

Like many entrepreneurs in this industry, Marty Rosica started right out of high school, going first to a technical school where he learned a trade and started as an apprentice in the residential field.
Rosica had a sales territory from Boston down through D.C. — selling facilities management as well as facilities services and mechanical services. The network of companies he visited was vast.
In 1976, Mark Hawks had a vision to provide the Delaware Valley with a fresh approach to mechanical services. With his background in commercial and industrial boilers and burners, Hawks developed a niche position in the market place as the region’s expert in this field.
Eventually, Hawks & Company added traditional mechanical services such as air conditioning and refrigeration service to their service offerings in order to support their growing client base with solutions to their climate control problems.
By 2007, Hawks was looking to get out of the business and that’s when he met Rosica. An entrepreneur by nature, Rosica loved the idea of trying something new.
Nevertheless, Rosica purchased Hawks & Company and was officially a business owner and an entrepreneur.
In his first 10 years owning Hawks & Company, Rosica added more than 15 employees and grew the business five times over.
A 100 percent commercial and refrigeration company, Hawks & Company relies on relationships to drive business. All lead generation comes from being seen, so Rosica knew marketing and the look of his fleet would play an important part in obtaining new relationships and clients.
Another big area of focus for Hawks & Company has been education and recruitment.
Over the years, Rosica has developed a great relationship with the instructors at the area’s technical schools, something he credits for Hawks & Company’s ability to recruit quality talent.
Rosica believes you don’t need to be college educated to be an entrepreneur and do the right thing … as long as you surround yourself with smart people, you’ll be in good shape, he says.

I was really looking forward to looking at a lot of apartments in Nashville TN last month. I was not disappointed with the wide array of unique places that are located here. Living in a tiny town for a lot of years in the past did not offer me much variety. Not only that, it was really hard to find a place that was even available. But moving to this large city has shown me that there’s so much available. Almost every place that I called had at least one unit available to rent and that was really nice to learn.
We looked at apartments in Henderson a few days ago, thinking it would take us some time to find the one that we wanted to call home. The really nice thing is that it did not take us long at all to find what we wanted. It was easy because I was mostly focused on finding the right apartment while my husband was mostly focused on finding the right community to become a part of. When we both found what we wanted, it was not a surprise that it was the same place.

After FIVE YEARS of begging doctors who didn't have the skills or the guts to try to correct my problems, Dr Carey has taken this on in a very cautious approach that has resulted in one eye (so far) regaining complete mobility, and he is about to do the other. You have NO idea how devastating and debilitating loss of eye mobility is until your eyes are locked up and you realize you are in real danger of getting killed due to loss of full visual fields bilaterally. Thank you Dr Carey, I am SO SO grateful!!! You're my hero!

Why it's easy being a vegetarian.
If questions about nutritional value are set aside, what purpose does the act of consuming an animal possess? I take this as my central question here because meat-eating is not just an issue of nutrition: as Derrida wrote: ‘and who can be made to believe that our cultures are carnivorous because animal proteins are irreplaceable?’ There is something else going on when an animal’s flesh is consumed.

The unexpected loss of a loved one is a devastating emotional experience -- and nothing you do can bring that person back. That fact alone can make it difficult to even consider taking legal action.
On April 8, the brother of a victim in the March 10 crash involving Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 filed a lawsuit against the Boeing Company. This is just one example of the legal troubles that the aviation company faces in the wake of its two 737 MAX crashes. Ohio residents may remember that the March 10 incident, where the plane took a nosedive shortly after departing Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, killed 157 people.
Five months earlier, Lion Air Flight 610 plunged into the Java Sea after departing Jakarta, Indonesia, killing 189. In early March 2019, a Seattle law firm filed a lawsuit against Boeing on behalf of several of the victims' families. A law firm in Indonesia then filed a similar lawsuit.

You have no way of knowing what a nearby motorist is going to do at any given moment. You have the right, however, to reasonably expect those with whom you're sharing the road will adhere to all traffic laws and safety regulations. Every licensed driver in Ohio and beyond is legally obligated to do so. Sadly, not every licensed driver complies. In fact, some make highly irresponsible choices to drink and drive or otherwise act with negligence or recklessness behind the wheel.
You're at risk for serious injury because of another driver's disregard for safety. If this happens, there is no reason you should bear the full financial burden of expenses related to the incident, such as medical bills or lost wages from time off work during recovery. Drunk drivers often commit certain behaviors due to cognitive and physical impairment. If you notice suspicious driving behavior, it's best to try to safely distance yourself from the vehicle in question and to report the incident to 911 if you can.

On Nov. 12, 2018, an 18-year-old student at Ohio University died at a house associated with the Sigma Pi fraternity. He was allegedly a victim of hazing.
The young student, a hopeful pledge to Sigma Pi, was surrounded by drug paraphernalia when paramedics reached him, including small canisters of nitrous oxide called "whippets." The official cause of the student's death has been listed as asphyxiation caused by the nitrous oxide inhalation.

Ohio residents may be familiar with the show "Storm Wranglers" and how its two stars died in a crash back in March of 2017. They were chasing a tornado in Texas when they apparently ran a stop sign and collided with a jeep driven by a 25-year-old storm spotter. The three individuals all were killed upon impact. The mother of the 25-year-old has now filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Weather Channel, the show's network, for $125 million.
The lawsuit states that the storm-chasing duo was long known for their reckless driving, and the network did nothing to curb this. On the contrary, it encouraged the behavior as a way of making every storm chase more exciting for viewers. Watching the live streams of these chases, one can see the duo speeding, driving on the wrong side of freeway ramps, driving on private property and traveling through hail storms.
On behalf of Rumizen Weisman, Co., Ltd. posted in construction accidents on Friday, March 29, 2019.
Ohio is already on the verge of spring -- but that can mean some rather rocky weather that ranges from warm and sunny one day and wet and windy the day after. Downpours are common.
Be extremely conscious of the risk of a slip-and-fall accident in wet weather. The increased awareness alone can make you more cautious, particularly in high areas.
Wear your personal protective gear at all times, especially when working on elevated areas. Slip-resistant boots are a necessity at all times during the rainy part of the year.
Don't forget about mud. The soft ground at a construction site and the rain can make for a whole new set of slipping hazards. Muddy boots can cause you to fall when climbing ladders or into the cabs of large equipment -- so take a moment and wipe the mud away before you start.
If you operate any large equipment -- from a forklift to a crane -- you need to be extra conscious of wet ground and sloped areas. You can easily lose traction on the mud and slide down a hill. Even a small slope can cause top-heavy equipment to overturn.
Trench collapses are a real possibility during the wet weather -- and they're often deadly to workers. Don't get into a trench if the weather is too wet to keep the sides intact or the appropriate supports aren't in place. Inspect every trench daily before you enter.

Multiple families have come forward against an Ohio doctor who allegedly gave dozens of patients potentially lethal and excessive doses of pain medication. The doctor, who worked at Mount Carmel West or St. Ann's, is currently under investigation for potentially ordering excessive medication for 35 patients. Many of the families have filed wrongful death lawsuits against the doctor.
As part of the investigation, the Ohio Board of Nursing has sent notices to 25 nurses who worked at the hospital. The nurses allegedly administered the medication ordered by the doctor. The nurses who were named in the "Notice of Opportunity for Hearing" could potentially be disciplined as part of the review process.
The attack happened on Monday, March 4, as the woman was walking home from her Arlington Street bus stop. When she reached the intersection of Roscoe and Milton, she was rushed by the three dogs in an unprovoked attack.
Can you recognize the signs of nursing home abuse?
On behalf of Rumizen Weisman, Co., Ltd. on Wednesday, March 13, 2019.
When an Ohio family places a loved one in a nursing home, it is with the assumption he or she will receive quality care. If you have had to make the difficult decision of moving a loved one to a long-term care facility, you understand how difficult it is to make that choice on behalf of someone else. You probably put in hours of research before choosing a facility that best meets your family member's specific needs.
It can be devastating to learn that your loved one experienced mistreatment or abuse of any kind at his or her nursing home. You may feel angry and overwhelmed, but you have the right to take action on his or her behalf and hold liable parties accountable. Abuse, neglect or mistreatment in any form is unacceptable, but you can fight back.

CAL FIRE law enforcement arrested a suspect arsonist Monday for suspicion of setting several wildfires in Butte County.
CAL FIRE Officials identified the suspect as Charles Richard Benish, 24. Benish is suspected of setting four fires in the Feather River Wildlife area. Officials said the first fire was reported to CAL FIRE's Emergency Command Center in Oroville at 6:34 p.m. Monday.
Officials said after a two mile pursuit, Benish was detained by a CAL FIRE Peace Officer and was placed under arrest with the assistance of the California Highway Patrol. Officials said Benish has been charged with four counts of arson to forestland, found counts of being armed with a firearm in the commission of a felony, one count of willfully evading a pursuing peace officer's vehicle, and one count of driving under the influence. Benish is being held on a $371,000 bail.
Chief Darren Read of CAL FIRE/Butte County Fire said, "Thanks to swift and accurate reporting from the public, our law enforcement officer was able to quickly apprehend this suspect and firefighters were able to rapidly contain the wildfires"
CAL FIRE officials continue to urge the public to be vigilant outdoors and report any suspicious activity. The public can provide valuable assistance by following these steps; do not approach the individual or individuals engaging in the suspicious behavior, report behavior to law enforcement, and if safe to do so, note the description of the individual to include location, gender, height, weight, clothing description, hair color, and any distinguishing characteristics such as tattoos.
Officials added one of the most important pieces of information for investigators can be the time the behavior is observed, so be sure to make note of that. If a vehicle is involved in the suspicious activity, the following information can also be helpful to investigators; make and model of the vehicle, color of the vehicle, location and direction of travel, license plate number-even partial number can be useful, bumper stickers or other markings, and number of people in the vehicle including their descriptions.

One Stop Golf, one of Hull’s largest family attractions has enlisted the help of the UK’s biggest artificial grass supplier to install a new low maintenance adventure golf course.
Using a selection of four artificial turf textures and colours, LazyLawn has installed a course that offers the same playing experience as a natural one, minus the maintenance costs.
Ben Rozenbroek, owner of Pirate Adventure Golf, comments: “The area was previously unused, so adding a pirate adventure golf course was the best way to utilise the available land.
“I’ve seen other adventure courses built with artificial grass and thought it would be the easiest way to install and run one.
LazyLawn used a combination of four turfs, which was key to creating a putting green that looked realistic, but also offered an authentic putting experience.

Running shoes are essential for every runner. If you are a beginner, shoes are actually the only thing that you really, really have to take care of, before you start training.
Shoes are really important. All the extra stuff - special T-shirts, track suits, and sweatshirts are things that you can use, but you don’t have to. Once more, shoes are essential. Regular running puts a burden on your feet, and if you don’t have proper shoes, your feet will suffer (especially if you run on hard surfaces like concrete).
You cannot start running with your old, used sneakers or, even worse, with shoes not designed for running. Bad shoes cause tiredness, abrasions, pains (joints and even spine) and injuries.
During running, this part of the shoe touches the ground. It’s made of hard and firm rubber with proper tread to provide good traction. Think about the surface you are going to run on. There are differences between running shoes designed for asphalt or track and shoes designed for outdoor and field running. Shoes designed for uneven and soft surfaces have deeper tread providing even better traction.
This is a very important part of the running shoe. It is the layer between the outsole and the upper section. It ensures stability during running and cushions the foot as it hits the ground. For better shock absorption, there are additional elements under the heel, such as gel, silicon or air cushions. In the instep area, there are reinforcements preventing injuries to feet and tendons.
This last element of the shoe holds the foot firmly inside. It is usually made of leather or synthetic materials. Thanks to modern technology, this layer of the shoe ensures good ventilation and stops the foot from excessive sweating. The upper part has to be soft and comfortable or it may cause abrasions or corns. On the other hand, the part holding the heel should be stiff and hard.
The choice isn’t easy. It is difficult to find shoes that really fit. Professional runners choose shoes that fit them after much trial and error. In order to make it easier for ourselves, we should go to a shop with professional service. The staff will help in selecting shoes that fit the feet and the running style.
It is good to buy shoes in the afternoon when feet are tired and swollen. While running, feet will also get swollen, and your shoes should allow for this.
When trying on new shoes, you should wear the same type of socks you’ll use when running.
You should always try on both shoes. Most people’s feet are slightly different sizes, and your shoes have to fit the bigger foot.
Shoes have to be large enough to allow the big toe space for movement, but on the other hand the heel has to be tight.
Heels shouldn’t move in the shoe while running. The shoe should not graze the Achilles tendon - it’s bad for the tendon and for the shoe itself.
Shoes have to fit immediately. Don’t expect them to stretch and adjust to your feet in time. Running shoes should fit immediately - they are durable and don’t stretch.

I think it goes against the ideals of democracy for a government body to attempt to reduce public knowledge of unpopular legislation.
I certainly agree with that, but the EU is probably the most open legislative body in the world. There is a wealth of detail available on their web sites about this, and all other, legislation.
I have to disagree with the idea that copyright protects the corporation rather than the individual. To my mind the situation is exactly the opposite. Take the current case (article 13) - without this legislation the onus is on the copyright holder to sue the offender, which is easy for corporations but not for individuals. This law will mean that big corporations like Google, FaceBook, etc. will be responsible for breaches of copyright on their sites, just as hard copy publishers are. This shifts the responsibility from the copyright holder to any publisher hosting breaches of copyright, which surely offers enhanced protection to individuals who produce original material.
It will, of course, make life harder for those who take no heed of copyright.
Again, I'm not against copyright protection. Copyrights (of reasonable length) are here to protect the rights of the authors. What I'm against is copyfraud.
Google, Facebook and other (social) media corporations will be responsible for making sure their platforms don't have infringing content, as you say. But they can't manually check every upload, as the upload rates are way bigger than validation rates would be. Therefore they resort to automatic filtering which, while more efficient for them, isn't intelligent like people usually are and thus can't identify obvious false alarms. But they also can't identify obvious true alarms, at least not fast enough. I sorted a Youtube search query yesterday "by upload date" and the second result was a video titled "Get X book for free here" or something. Today it isn't there, hopefully, someone probably reported it manually or something.
But I'm probably repeating myself at this point, so I'm out of this discussion, at least temporarily.
Well, perhaps it's time they changed their business model? Infringing on the rights of the individual so that life is more convenient, and more profitable, for the giant Internet companies is possibly not the most equitable way to run things.
I understand you come from a background that is directly concerned about protection of copyrights.
But have you even bothered to read into the concerns fielded, not only by some forum users here but by some very knowledgeable individuals commenting on the subject?
a) Almost everyone agrees that creators should be able to protect their work, and almost nobody thinks copyrights themselves are bad.
b) In the past it's been incredibly difficult for creators to uphold their copyrights, especially for the small creators, because nobody can monitor the entire internet to determine if/when their work has been copied.
c) The intent of proposition 13 is to make it more practical for creators (especially small creators) to uphold their copyrights, by forcing large hosts to help creators determine if/when their work has been copied. This in itself is not unreasonable at all.
d) People are worried about how different large hosts will implement "proposition 13 compliance" and aren't (or shouldn't be) worried about the underlying intent of proposition 13.
e) Proposition 13 allows large hosts to implement "proposition 13 compliance" in a good way - e.g. with algorithmic matching followed by thorough human review to avoid false positives, with a (mandatory) appeals process, and "proportionate measures" and "best effort" safeguards; however it doesn't necessarily prevent large hosts from implementing "proposition 13 compliance" in a bad way either, so there is at least some valid reason for concern.
f) In theory, hosts that do implement "proposition 13 compliance" in a bad way will become less popular and die because people will shift to better hosts that implement "proposition 13 compliance" in a better way. In practice, the fundamental principles of capitalism (competition ensuring good stuff makes profit while bad stuff doesn't) have been so broken for so long that hosts who implement "proposition 13 compliance" in a bad way may not die.
In other words; I think the people who are worried about proposition 13 need to worry about lack of effective competition instead.
You have nicely summed up my take on this, Brendan. I think people should consider more carefully the responsibilities that mega corporations such as Google should have. The problem is not with the EU legislation but with the circumstances that have necessitied it.
I realize that this is an unpopular view. Most users of the internet are consumers rather than creators, and they prefer to consume without paying. And who profits from this - Google, etc. Just because creators are a minority does not detract from their right to have others respect their creations.
It's probably the first thing said here we both agree on. Assuming platforms won't employ automatic filtering and won't operate in favour of big media companies, it won't probably be that bad. But, unless applicable laws (or public pressure) will exist, I'm not sure they will move away from automatic filtering any time soon.
Perhaps it's not really the Article 13 to blame, but the implementation of the compliance mechanisms. But perhaps Article 13 will cause more platforms to implement automatic filtering? I don't really know at this point.
This video giving an overview of the status of the lawmaking process might be relevant here about just what the 'approval' this past week actually was. TL;DR: the 'approval' was of some changes to the wording in the proposed bill. It won't be actually voted on until January 2019 at the earliest, and even if actually voted into law, it most likely won't go into effect for a year or more afterwards.
One of the concerns not yet listed here is that as Article 13 places the burden on the hosting party, that burden can be insurmountable if you gross less than a million a year as a company.
The current abuse is also ingrained at a much higher level than you'd expect. Are you a big company? No problem, you just make the naysayers vanish come election times.
How copyright as a whole is handled right now is all about barking up the wrong tree. If you want the copyright violators, you should go for the violators and not shoot the messenger. The system can be so much lighter - and fairer - if hosters are required to identify uploaders rather than uploads, because it means that legal disputes go back to the judicary system where due process is constitutionally guaranteed, than having the megacorps pass judgement on their biased whims.
An other alternative is to abolish copyright altogether, and let the industry finally learn to be post-industrial and run on service. Your screen can never capture a physical presence at a concert, nor is there any art to copy in the first place if you didn't pay the commission fee to have it made for you.
Forcing sites to know the real name of people also comes with a whole slew of problems, which can be very bad as well.
For about every abuse-sensitive service in real life, you are already asked to show your ID, so why not online? You could even have third party authenticators that give you a certificate with "this here is a real person, if you give us this code and a lawsuit, we'll append it with the actual personal details"
The government already runs such a system in my country.
The system can be so much lighter - and fairer - if hosters are required to identify uploaders rather than uploads, because it means that legal disputes go back to the judicary system where due process is constitutionally guaranteed, than having the megacorps pass judgement on their biased whims.
That rather presupposes that it is easier to verify people than to verify data. I'm not sure that is true. It is easy to disguise yourself as a person. If you successfully disguise a creative work then you probably change it so much that it is no longer subject to the original copyright. Also, I think that people overlook the very reasonable provisions that copyright laws make for "fair use".
That sounds a bit to me like saying that you should abolish the concept of ownership altogether. If someone cares about your car enough to steal it, and you don't care enough to make that impossible, then perhaps the thief deserves the vehicle more than you. Why go to all the complications of police, courts, judges and juries when we can just say that no-one has the right to exclusive ownership of things? It would save a lot of money and make life so much simpler.
That sounds a bit to me like saying that you should abolish the concept of ownership altogether.
That sounds like a variation of a very common non-sequiteur on the subject: If someone takes your car, you do not have a car. If someone takes your art online, you do still have the original. That's why it's called copyright.
The point was that the onset of the information age has nullified many a foundational assumption on the matter. Information is no longer scarce, the copy operations are the most fundamental building block in every computer. Revolutions start with "I have a dream", and why would we discuss the road there if there is no goal?
That's a common fallacy. If I produce data for a living and someone publishes that data without paying me then they are depriving me of my livelihood. This is actually far more serious than depriving me of - for example - my car. I can buy another car - provided I still have the means to earn money.
I don't see a fallacy here? Payment is done for the finite resource, i.e. the work, not for the data. I did mention commissions in the opening, did I?
Of course yours was a bad example; there are certainly jobs to be found that have no existence without copyright, but most cases are covered by changing business models and continuing to do the same work. After all, are we supposed to be mourning the people from the industrial age that lost a job because they couldn't compete with weaving machines? I'm sure people back then complained.

There is, however, a lot of wisdom to be gained from both those and his life experience in general. I career sales professional, he “changed lanes” after I was grown to become a drug and alcohol rehab counselor. It was a pleasure to witness him find his “flow” and speak truth based on personal recovery and hard-earned certification to his clients.
I recently had the pleasure of coaching someone who decided to embrace some limitations and focus on strengths more. The result was like watching a 100 pound weight come off the shoulders.
What have you been “swimming upstream” to achieve? What steps can you take to know your limits and use your strengths instead?
When something pops up more than once in a week, my mind and spirit note it must be something to pay attention to. So it goes with me and lanes last week. I asked my dad for some advice on a business, and he said, "It sounds like they are getting out of their lane." Days later, my mentor shared an example of someone picking a niche lane and thriving in it.
Our world has so many opportunities. Some of these things are good in nature. They appear natural next steps to growth but are really just shiny objects and end up dividing focus and attention away from one’s passion project, core business or main purpose. How do you know? The take away resources from one's sweet spot and then burn extra fuel to switch between the two. Your overall ROI is lower than if all efforts were focused on one area.
Clarity on my "lane" has gotten clearer with age, so it's getting easier and easier to keep my eyes on the road. Now, I try to ask "Does this fit with and increase return on my Top 3: faith, family and coaching? What about you? How do you keep single focused and turn away from distractions?
Entrepreneurs are passionate about what we do or we wouldn’t have taken all the risks of “hanging a shingle.” Many times, we like what we do so much we’d do it all the time, which brings two great opportunities: 1) intentionally setting aside time to look at and work on the business from the 10,000 foot view and 2) setting parameters so that the other important priorities in life don’t get what’s leftover. The latter is one of my favorite subjects, so I’ll be posting about life balance ever so often. Since 2019 is upon us, today is about stepping out of the inner workings of your passion project to work on your passion project. Those two little words make a world of difference. In is the detailed actions contributing to the plan. On is the analogy and strategy guiding the plan.
One of my favorite frameworks is Stop - Start - Continue. I learned this several years ago from a colleague at Lipscomb University. I have since used it in a variety of formats: to gather feedback from students, in nonprofit strategic planning and with individual coaching clients. I have found it simple, versatile and effective when acted upon.
Ask yourself what you want to STOP doing. Questions to consider: What costs more than it benefits? What is draining too much energy? What is contributing to mission drift? We do this first because you need to free up time and space for the next three.
Now, what do you want to START doing? Questions to consider: What have you been putting off until…? What is life giving that you aren’t getting to? If resources were unlimited, what would you pursue? What do you dream about but don’t feel ready for?
Then, what do you want to CONTINUE? Questions to consider: Where are you most effective? When are you in “flow?” What type of projects are providing the highest return on investment?
The model hasn’t felt totally right until just recently. I now add, what do you want to change? Consider asking: What were your big wins and learns of a time period (quarter or year) to nail down some things that are worth keeping if only tweaked a bit.
As a leader, I encourage you to go through this exercise periodically to make sure you are spending your effort on the things that will get you to your preferred vision. Getting some feedback from your team or personal board of directors will help give you the power of community. Typically, the more diverse the perspectives gathered, the better the analysis. Just make sure you are enlisting people who are growth minded.
When I lived in China, I was often amazed and curious by a somewhat common visual on the streets: a street sweeper dressed not in sturdy work clothes but a sport coat, pants and dress shoes. The clothes were covered in dust and stains, and I found myself wondering about and even judging the choice. I saw the clothes as being “ruined” by the dust and grime of the traffic.
20 years and many a lesson learned on mindset later, I wish I could go shake these street sweepers hands and ask them to tea. I admire their choice to not let their position define them and see them as embodying the “dress the way you want to be addressed” and “dress for the job you want not the job you have” proverbs. I now know, there is also a lot of data showing connection between dress and performance (one example here). And, whether we like it or not, dress is a huge contributor to the first impressions we create (hence a 20-year memory of a street sweeper I didn’t even talk to!). It can also add to or detract from the message and value you have.
Dress may not be the trump card, but I encourage you to see it as a first step to the reality you desire. If you want to up level your career or be taken more seriously in your current role, if you are working from home and dress for comfort but are increasingly less motivated, if you are working toward a personal goal or mindset shift, dress for success in that context. I’d love to hear what happens when you give it a try.
I welcome another guest post from Jordan today. He shares about his vocational search and the tools he’s using to guide his path.
Admittedly, I’m not entirely sure if I meant that I want to build relationships by seeing the beauty inherent in others and sharing that with them, or helping them see beauty in their own right, or both. Probably the last one and more, but, if this process of discernment and engaging in conversations with amazing thought leaders has taught me anything…baby steps seems to be more than just conventional wisdom, especially since I have no right to call something beautiful on someone else’s behalf; art and creation is a dialogue, not a monologue.
With those baby steps in mind, I can’t help but look at the toolbox I always reach for when I begin doing something that requires a bit of my soul to bring forth…inspiring quotes by writers I love, music that captures the spirit of what I’m feeling, art that stills me in the midst of chaos of everyday life. In short, beauty.
It sounds trite in a way, but the inspiration of others inspires me. Perhaps it’s the witness of discipline bringing forth something new, something beautiful: “To love means to open ourselves to the negative as well as the positive - to grief, sorrow, and disappointment as well as to joy, fulfillment, and an intensity of consciousness we did not know was possible before” (Rollo May). And, in that vein, this work of self-discovery is a process, a conscientious cultivation, a commitment to the questions (“Live the questions…,” as Rilke exhorts), and to believe, in spite of and because of everything, that something will come from all that is being asked of us. Again, something beautiful.
I would be lying if I said I don’t struggle with depression and discouragement, a sense of apathy when I allow myself the false entitlement of being owed something. I don’t believe we’re owed anything, but we are given everything. It’s just a matter of living out the process and creating ourselves with all the raw goods—stardust and earth and the Ruach of God.
"There's only one thing in life, and that's the continual renewal of inspiration."
I am a Nashville-based nonprofit professional with experience across Human Services, Community Engagement, Hospitality, Development & Marketing. In tandem with this employment experience, I also hold a B.S. in Human & Organizational Development (with a concentration in Health & Human Services) & a Master of Divinity from Vanderbilt University.
I bring the drive to take initiative, to solve problems collectively & efficiently, to continue pursuing lifelong learning, to embrace challenge & growth as an employee & person, to tell the story of organizations & stakeholders in honor of the Hero's Journey that lives in both of these narratives & to align myself with work that is both practically addressing social issues, as well as honoring the process of community formation in the process.
Several years ago my sister gave several of us a journal with a copy of the Joy Dare prompts from Ann Voskamp, because she had been blessed by the practice. At the time, this gift felt like a gauntlet instead. Though it sounded like something beneficial for the season I was in, I had not been journaling. My Enneagram 1 perfectionistic tendencies would have to wrestle with the days I forgot, which ended up being part of the blessing. I had been a hard year/several years, and I’m glad she had shared the practice. The gratitude of the Joy Dare helped me focus on the positives all around, and the residual blessings of the discipline were many: more contentment, more observation, and a new set of lenses for the day to day. The more we are grateful, the stronger our gratitude filter becomes, making it easier to see the good even when it is hiding or a challenge to find.
What are you thankful for this season? How do you make gratitude a regular part of life?
When I was living in China, I had the pleasure of serving and gathering with other foreign teachers who were there to be ambassadors for good. Though there are many wonderful elements of the Chinese culture - hospitality, food, sites - being in a culture so different from home can be a challenge. At the beginning of each year, the returning teachers would hold a type of cultural and professional orientation to pass down tips and tricks for adapting and thriving. One year in particular, I remember a colleague challenging us to be fascinated instead of frustrated. That charge has echoed in my head and proven useful many times over the years. It has proven useful most any time I’m out of my comfort zone and in the discouraged phase: re-entry to my home culture, learning an organization’s culture at a new job, adapting to married life and motherhood, to name a few of the big ones. Fascination over frustration is really a choice to choose a positive perspective that can lead to discovery and understanding instead of frustration that keeps one bogged down in what’s different or going poorly. In reality, I don’t always remember to use this set of lenses. When I do, it helps me put myself in someone else’s shoes, and I’m pleasantly surprised by the insight gained.
What is or can be fascinating you these days? What benefits are you seeing from this positive perspective?
Pleased to welcome another guest blog from Jordan today who is sharing with us about his vocational search process and the coaching process. It is an absolute pleasure to walk alongside him and cheer him on. He brings a lot to the table and demonstrates that well in the preparation he did for a recent job interview.
As I look back over my sessions with Linda, I think the prompt that stands out the most is when she asked me about limiting myself by only applying for jobs that I already knew how to do/already had been doing. That set off a chain of events, which resulted in a complete overhaul of my professional assets and how I wanted to start putting myself out there in the job search. I remember her saying (I believe in the same conversation), “As your coach, I believe you have unlimited potential.” In tandem with reframing this whole experience as “a journey, not a destination” (Linda, again), Linda’s greatest gift to me has been her unconditional positive regard for both me and my journey and, as I see it, nurturing me into exploring a more holistic and compassionate way of being with myself. For that, I am eternally grateful.
In our most recent coaching hour, I requested that she specifically help me in preparing for an upcoming interview. This ranged from exploring the best way to approach my skill set to how I speak and answer questions to how to let my own distinctive qualities shine through. At the close of the call, she told me, “I hear excitement and hope in your voice about this. That’s a significant difference from when we first spoke, and you said you felt as though you were just spinning your wheels.” Such an affirmation meant a lot to me as well, and I feel more prepared for this interview than any one before it.
I also feel a need to thank David Hutchens , a speaker and author who has built a curriculum around Leadership and Creativity which has raised interest nationally and globally. David and I connected through my current role, and he generously agreed to meet with me to discuss his work and just offer some wisdom. I spoke to him about the personal and professional work I was doing and also discussed the upcoming interview; the next time I saw him, he gave a set of his Leadership Story Deck: a powerful tool that includes prompts and insights about ways to elaborate on one’s personal story and give concrete examples for the behavioral interview questions that have become standard in most interviews. I brought the deck with me to my session with Linda, and we unpacked the cards David specifically recommended for me, with Number 18 being my favorite—the content for this one focuses on one’s natural gifts and how that translates into professional skills.
Counting both David & Linda as those cheering me on from the stands, among the many other amazing souls that Higher Powers who have led me this far brought onto my “team,” I feel a depth of gratitude and a foundation of support for which I wouldn’t have even thought to ask for not that long ago.
I just completed my interview and overall have a sense of peace about the experience. From my own perspective, everything seemed to flow well. Nerves were to be expected, but I felt present and open to the conversation that happened. From there, I am just releasing the outcome, because I have to. Holding on so tightly hasn’t ever helped me get anywhere.
But again, I’m just grateful to know whatever happens I have a great team of people who are magnanimous enough to support me. That’s really all that matters. That, and the courage to keep going.
I am pleased to share another guest blog from Jordan today who is shining his light on growth as it is nurtured by his keen self-awareness, the Spirit’s nudges and the coaching process.
Of all the topics that I imagined might have come up during my session with Linda today, humility was admittedly a bit of a surprise—although not really upon some reflection. In the broader context, we were discussing my recent bout of discouragement and dispassion for the continuing job search and how I’ve been having a hard time maintaining resilience. Even Linda herself said that she could tell I was less optimistic than in previous sessions, yet, there was a positive turn in the sense of greater awareness around an on-going issue that I have carried.
Continuing to take myself aback, at one point in our session I answered Linda’s prompt about this issue of pride that I’d sensed coming up again in my life, particularly in terms of not wanting to ask a Higher Power (or anyone outside of myself) for continuing help or renewal in soldiering on, by quoting a verse I hadn’t thought about in years: “Humble yourselves before [God], and [God] will exalt you” (James 4:10).
At various stages of our session, I referred to a sense of not being “grounded” or “anchored” in my questing, and now, I can see this unwillingness to simply be on the ground, a created creature close to the earth while reaching for the stars, has been a greater thorn in my side than I’d realized. The Merton quote above also feels quite pointed in this context. I think I’m afraid to be real—to really feel, touch, taste, smell, speak and hear. Life has felt safer in the confines of my imagination, a refuge for many children of unstable homes.
I think it does, and for the last several years, hurt has been a familiar feeling, just as I also discussed the coping mechanisms needed for the tender-hearted with Linda today as well. A good deal of job searching is about rejection, and if I’m being fair, I’ve had my armor up as general practice, questing withstanding. I don’t take feedback well. I push back against authority. I am loath to ask for help. It’s just the vulnerability thing, and when that rears its head, “Petulance” is my first, middle and last name.
Having said all this, I don’t know what the answers to all the questions that came up today might even be close to being, as Linda said, “I’m hearing ‘journey’ here, not ‘destination.’” But feeling into the hurt and the process of becoming real seems to be the “lesson” I was trying to noodle out as the cause, or one of the causes, behind why my experiences have worked out the way they have this last bit.
And, so I pray and hope this journey—along with all the journeys it’s a part of—will do just that, make real and make me beautiful. In tandem with this, I would become more and more of the earth, humble and vulnerable to the processes of relationship and discovery. It’s hard, but it’s honest.
I’d rather have something honest and real, than false and affected.
Though he did not get to stay long due a serious illness, he continued making life about something bigger than himself. While he was receiving treatment, he met and encouraged people in all areas of his life. Because he listened so well, he heard a recurring need for clean water and started The Living Water Project. Why not? Of the many problems in the world, he recognized this one as solvable. 18 years later, the effort he started has committed $1 million to clean water projects in 23 countries!
Since that conversation in 2000, the “why not paradigm” has led me to do many things I would naturally resist because I am drawn to peace, predictability and productivity. Shanon’s example inspired me to first move across country and then the world to live out my faith. Most recently, it encouraged me to find a way to add value to people through coaching despite my SC personality.
Where is the spirit nudging you to break out of your comfort zone? Why not take one small step today?
Today I welcome a guest blog from someone I have the honor of serving in a coaching relationship. Jordan’s going to share with us from time to time about the coaching process from his perspective. Here he shares with us his thoughts prior to our first coaching conversation.
It’s probably just a terrible cliché for a young person to start a piece about the vocational journey (and those big girl/boy questions about life) with a Rilke quote, but what can you do? I’m reading LTAYP at present, and this whole “live the questions” deal seems to be some of the truer advice I’ve “received” about figuring things out—that is, if we ever really do.
Fortunately/Providentially, there are coaches and nice folks like Linda Zelnik, who feel called to walk alongside other folks in my kind of predicament. The story of how we connected is somewhat circuitous; I could offer some intro about three different types of clergy walking into a bar, but that seems gauche. In reality, we “met” through her desire to support Thistle Farms, a recovery community and social enterprise that serves women survivors of trafficking, addiction and prostitution. I work there in the Development Office and, true to form, have gone through a lot of personal transformations in my time attempting to be a grown-up for the full forty hours a week.
However, I still wouldn’t say I’ve gotten to my “distant day” that Rilke proffered his pupil over a hundred years ago as a goal for the journey. In short, I don’t really know what I want to be when I grow up, but other, more adult-ish, folks around me say in very comforting aphorisms that there’s time. Nevertheless, I still feel all this pressure to figure it out and know at least something—“something” being knowledge beyond the fact that I would likely get queasy if I saw the sight of blood and that helping people seems to be the only really meaningful type of work one can do, in whatever forms that takes. So, Linda has kindly agreed to take me on, after some very kind email exchanges that began with me asking what could be possible between us, as a new coaching client for the next few weeks or so.
With that, I wouldn’t say I expect Linda to have all the answers (but she may very well); I suppose I’m just hoping for something a little more personal and impactful than the books/videos/webinars I’ve read/watched/participated on/in the topic that, while they offer great wisdom, don’t necessarily meet you where you exactly are…because they can’t.
However, in all seriousness, I’m just grateful for a new conversation partner and guide. There are many rivers, and they all flow into the ocean. It’s just a matter of getting there. Thus, I imagine Linda might have come along at just this time to help me with just that question, getting there.

Saturday July 20th, cialis sales diagnosis the Delta Breezers were up early and ready for the mounted Sensory Clinic. Our trainer, patient Jeff Lane, an experienced horseman and CHP Mounted Patrol officer, gave us a safety briefing then we mounted up and were off to the land of weird and scary things! Jeff’s son and daughter helped, as did fellow mounted patrol officers, Kari Dillon and Casey Maxwell. Jeff’s son aptly described the course as a “haunted house” for horses!
We had approximately 14 brave horse and rider teams including a good mix of young riders and young horses and old riders and older horses! Young and old alike had a great day!
Youngest rider was Alyssa on her fancy Morgan, Ice, who was nominated as the “best looking horse under stress.” Youngest horse was little JJ, our off-the-track rescue who did really great particularly since it was his first time cantering in a group of horses since the track! He was ridden by Trish, the oldest rider. Oldest horse was Joe (Rosanna rider), who was a pro at everything and the training crew had to invent some new challenges just for him.
The challenges included a drag chain in a bucket; a mattress to walk over; lighted flares; water guns and silly string; a tarp covered with plastic bottles to walk through, a big bouncing ball, a leaf blower and a tire maze.
All the horses did great and made progress from whatever level they were at. All riders learned new skills to use when their horses are confronted with unusual objects or situations on the trail. “Persistence awards” go to Karen on Pepper; Kim on Billie, Mitch on Toby, Jodi on Cosmo and Tanya on Vinnie who overcame a lot of horse resistance and completed the main challenges of the course. Julia on Star also got the “persistence award” for lots of hard sweat getting Star to accept some of the obstacles. Mimi, our beloved Belgian girl, with Phil and Jeff as riders, got the “trash compactor” award for really squishing the plastic bottles. Shelly on Gemini did awesome! Gemini often taps into her thoroughbred genes and can get very worried about things. Yet, with Shelly aboard she was the first to plant two feet on the mattress!
Afterwards we had a great BBQ in the backyard of Harvey and Lois’ house. Harvey served up some delicious BBQ chicken drum sticks. The participants brought a lovely array of salads and treats to go with it. It was a great chance to debrief and talk over the fun and learning of the day. Special thanks to Harvey and Lois for hosting us, Rosanna for coordinating the clinic and all the pesky details, and Carey and Jeannie who gave indispensable support for the day.
Congratulations to All Clinic Participants which Included!

Dassin was born in New York city to American film director Jules Dassin (1911–2008) and Béatrice Launer (1913–2005), a New York-born violinist, who after graduating from a Hebrew High School in the Bronx studied with the British violinist Harold Berkely at the Juilliard School of Music. Both parents were Jewish. His father was of Russian- and Polish-Jewish extraction, his maternal grandfather was an Austrian Jewish immigrant, who arrived in New York with his family at age 11.
Moving to France, Dassin worked as a technician for his father and appeared as an actor in supporting roles in a number of movies directed by his father, including Topkapi, where he played the role of "Josef".
On 26 December 1964, Dassin signed up with CBS Records, making him the first French singer to sign up with an American record label.
By the early 1970s, Dassin's songs were on the top of the charts in France and he had become immensely popular in that country. He was also a talented polyglot, recording songs in German, Spanish, Italian and Greek, as well as French and English. One of his most popular songs was "L'Été indien".
Dassin married Maryse Massiéra in Paris on 18 January 1966. Their son Joshua was born two and a half months early on 12 September 1973, and died five days later. Overcome by grief, Joe became deeply depressed. Despite all their efforts, their marriage did not survive. In 1977, one year after their move to their newly built home in Feucherolles, just outside Paris, they divorced.
On 14 January 1978, Dassin married Christine Delvaux in Cotignac. Their first son, Jonathan, was born on 14 September 1978; and their second son, Julien, arrived on 22 March 1980. Christine died in December 1995.
Dassin died from a heart attack during a vacation to Tahiti on 20 August 1980. He was survived by his two sons, both living in France, as well as his two younger sisters, Richelle (b. 1940) and Julie (b. 1945) and his parents Jules Dassin (1911–2008) and Béatrice Launer (1913–2005). His body is interred in the Beth Olam section of Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood, California.
