2009-09-16 05:58:00 The last thing you would want to do with such gorgeous fruit is feed them to that unforgiving abyss called the stomach. And that too when they can sit so pretty on your table, radiating a mysterious sense of calm each time you steal a glance. Which is why someone has already ensured that these beauties are not at all edible, to begin with. These "slices" of fruit (apple and pear) are post-it note dispensers called Kudamemo. .........

The San Francisco-based Richmond / Ermet AIDS Foundation (REAF.org) features the 15th annual presentation of "Help Is On The Way: No Business Like Show Business." I've attended this gala over the last four years and I've got to tell ya it’s a load of fun; a mix of a little serious, a lot of energy, and a ton of talent. (The video above is from last year's event, where San Francisco luminaries like Harry Denton were holding court in the pre-show auction lounge, joined by "Austin Powers", "Dean Martin", and others.)

REAF was founded by Barbara Richmond and the late Peggy Ermet in memory of their sons, John Richmond and Doug Ermet, who both lost their lives to AIDS. In 1995, the two women launched a musical AIDS benefit to h...

Apple has updated MobileMe, attempting to make it more usable, but it still doesn’t seem worth the $99/year to many folks. Even though MobileMe doesn’t seem like something worth spending your ninety-nine precious greenbacks on, Rob, a TÚAW reader, had something interestingly fortunate happen to him due to his MobileMe membership.

World AIDS Day 2008
2008-11-30 20:01:00 If you didn't already know, December 1st is World AIDS Day. In doing a little background checking on this, it's hard to believe that 2008 marks the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day. From a medical standpoint, I think that we've made some great strides in this area. From a social and cultural standpoint, I remember the attitude around in the mid-1980s to HIV/AIDS - mainly because medicine didn't know a lot back then. Tapping into the pulse of America back at that time inspired movies like Philadelphia and And The Band Played On.Even though HIV/AIDS education has come a long way in 20+ years, HIV/AIDS advocates still are driving toward more research and more education. And, I don't fault them for that. For this post, I'd like to highlight a letter to the editor from the Cleveland Plain Dealer from November 30, 2008:I am a 20-year survivor living with AIDS, and another World AIDS Day (Monday) is fast approaching.

Today Is The 20th Anniversary of World AIDS Day
2008-11-30 03:26:00 World AIDS Day is observed every year on December 1st.The World Health Organization established World AIDS Day in 1988. World AIDS Day provides governments, national AIDS programs, faith organizations, community organizations, and individuals with an opportunity to raise awareness and focus attention on the global AIDS epidemic.Here's a few facts about HIV/AIDS. In 2007 the estimated number of persons living with HIV worldwide was 33.2 million and there were 2.7 million people newly infected.The first antibody HIV test becomes available in 1985.In 1987 the "Global Programme On AIDS" is launched by The World Health Organization.So today lets remember those friends and family members we have lost to this global killer. And, take time to thank all those who give their time and money to help beat this deadly virus. If theres a little extra money in the christmas fund this year, maybe you can see it in your heart to give a donation to a local HIV/AIDS charity this year.

Refining Your Leg Aids - Part Three, Leg Pressure
2008-10-27 10:30:00 This is the last Monday in October, so in the final installment of "Refining Your Leg Aids" we will discuss the amount of leg pressure to use to cue your horse.It is very important that we teach our horses to be light and responsive, yet I see many riders with stiff and rigid legs. Â The fix just takes some thought, understanding and practice.Try this:Open your left hand all the way open and don't be shy.Take your right index finger and touch the palm of your left hand. Â Don't press your finger into the palm of your hand, just use the weight of your finger to touch it.That is how much leg pressure I use to cue a broke horse to turn. Â There are times I will need more leg pressure for things, such as collecting the horse while trotting, teaching him something new, etc. but in general when asking the horse to turn or change a gait I will use just a touch of my leg to communicate with the horse.Touch your palm again a few times, yes it really is that light. If a horse can feel a fly...

Refining Your Leg Aids - Part Two, Balance and Feel

When you have perfect balance you should enjoy riding more without stirrups than with them.Not to worry, with practice you will eventually be completely comfortable and dropping your stirrups regularly.What is the best way to get comfortable riding without stirrups?Practice until it IS comfortable.Start riding without stirrups at the halt, progress to the walk, jog, trot (post without stirrups too), the lope and or canter. If you are not comfortable walking a horse without your feet in the stirrups, then donâ...

Refining Your Leg Aids - Part One Timing Corrections
2008-10-13 11:30:00 In my riding program, I like to focus on one main theme each month and build upon that skill or exercise.  The theme for October is developing a better leg.  Here on the blog each week I will focus on one component to help you develop a better, stronger, quicker, refined, and more coordinated leg aids.This week the focus is on timing.  The last time I spoke about timing in the Trinity of Horseback Riding Series - Part Three Timing.  There are different types of timing when riding, but today I would like to talk about the timing of your legs.The quicker you make a correction on a horse, the better.   If you make a correction instantly and consistently each time a horse makes a mistake he will quickly understand what you want from him.  If you are slow on your correction, the horse will become confused and not understand what you are asking.Here's an example:  The horse steps to the right and you wanted him to step to the left.  He turns his head and looks at something out...

After that my choices were limited, I could have Scruffy euthanized, I could have him neutered and leave him as an outdoor cat knowing he might infect other cats, or I could merge him with my healthy cats (I had four other rescued cats at the time). There was and still seems to be an ongoing debate about how cats contract FIV. Some veterinarians believe FIV can be passed ...
