Nuggets draft Faried, then trade Felton for Miller and pick up Texas star
Kenneth Faried, right, left a strong impression with great rebounding and defense during NCAA Tournament play in Denver.

As Nuggets executives burned their cellphone batteries and talked trade options with each other Thursday, coach George Karl kept whispering to the brass: "Andre Miller Andre Miller."
"Well, I don't know if I'd call it a whisper," team president Josh Kroenke said.
Karl adores Miller. Always has. And the Nuggets worked out a deal to acquire the former Denver point guard, trading reserve point guard Raymond Felton to Portland for Miller. As well, Denver got a future second-round pick and the rights to Thursday's No. 26 pick, which was University of Texas forward Jordan Hamilton.
Oh, and the Nuggets also nabbed the guy they wanted with their own pick, selecting Morehead State rebounding machine Kenneth Faried with the 22nd selection.
"A long day," Kroenke said. "But a good night."
Here's why the trade makes sense. Yes, Felton had a good run for Denver since the Nuggets nabbed him in the Carmelo Anthony trade. But Felton wants to be a starter in the league, so Denver acquired Miller, who is older but makes a similar impact on the court.
And the Nuggets got Hamilton too.
As for the contract situation, it makes sense. Felton has one year left and will make $7.5 million; Miller has one year left and will make $7.8 million.
Denver executive Masai Ujiri said Miller, 35, has shown he's willing to come off the bench, whereas Felton, 26, has made it clear he wants to be a starter.
"(Karl) explained it to me that Andre Miller makes our young guys better and makes our team very solid," Ujiri said. "We evaluated the situation and tried to evaluate point guards in the league and tried to see if there would anyone who would make sense for us.
"Raymond was great. I want to thank him. He was huge for us. We wanted that equal-type leadership and someone who can mentor the young guys."
Denver nabbed a fourth player late Thursday night, acquiring forward Chukwudiebere "Chu Chu" Maduabum, who was drafted by the Lakers with the 56th pick. Denver traded the Lakers a future second-rounder.
?"He jumps out of the gym," Ujiri said. "We'll take a chance."
Faried, the big rebounder from Morehead State, was drafted by Denver with its 22nd pick of Thursday NBA Draft. He is 6-foot-7, 225 pounds and was the college game's dominant rebounder last season. He averaged 14.5 boards as a senior, after two straight seasons when he averaged 13 per game.
Faried made a name for himself here in Denver in the NCAA Tournament, when his 13th-seeded team defeated No. 4 Louisville, capped off by a Faried blocked shot at the buzzer.
"George Karl, he told me, 'I love guys who bring energy and hustle to the table," Faried said of his discussion with the Nuggets coach. "If you rebound, trust me, you're going to find your way on the floor.' I think I can make an immediate impact."
Asked why he'll be a great rebounder at this level, Faried said: "Because I'm not scared. I have a never-quit attitude and I'm going to keep going until I come up with the rebound."
And the 6-9 Hamilton had a nice career for Texas, but he slipped in recent days – not long ago, many mock drafts had him going in the mid-teens.
Asked during his June Denver workout about his skill set, Hamilton said: "I can shoot, rebound very well for my size. I can post up smaller guys and take bigger guys on the wing. And I can play the two and the three. And I can guard both also."
But the big move was Felton-for-Miller. Felton played well for Denver down the stretch last season, but he clearly wants to be a starting point guard in this league – and he wouldn't start here in Denver, because of Ty Lawson.
Miller averaged 12.7 points per game and 7.0 assists in 32.7 minutes for Portland last season. He played in Denver from the 2003-04 season until the December 19, 2006 trade with Philadelphia, which sent Miller and others to the 76ers for Allen Iverson.
Arguably Miller's best season in Denver was 2005-06, when he averaged 13.7 points and 8.2 assists. Karl has often spoken about his adoration for Miller and how losing Miller hurt the Nuggets, even though Denver acquired a future Hall of Famer in Iverson.
Felton played well for Denver during the fun run after the Nuggets traded Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks. Denver went 18-7 and off the bench, Felton averaged 11.5 points and 6.5 assists. Often, he was one of Denver's top players, sharing the backcourt in the fourth quarter with Lawson.

Top five picks
The opening 45 minutes of the draft provided a couple of surprises. The Cleveland Cavaliers threw the biggest curveball by taking Tristan Thompson with their second pick, fourth overall. Here's how the top five picks shook out:
NO. 1 CLEVELAND
G Kyrie Irving, Duke
The expected top overall selection. He will be the face of the Cavs for years to come.
NO. 2 MINNESOTA
F Derrick Williams, Arizona
No surprise here. Williams gives the T-Wolves a formidable front line with Kevin Love.
NO. 3 UTAH
C Enes Kanter, Turkey
A mild surprise. Utah starts its new era with a top-flight big man.
F Tristan Thompson, Texas
The biggest surprise of the lottery. Thompson has a ton of upside.
NO. 5 WASHINGTON
F Jan Vesely, Partizan Belgrade
Athletic Vesely will pair with John Wall as the Wizards collect young talent.
Chris Dempsey, The Denver Post
Kenneth Faried, Morehead St.
Strength: One of the top rebounders ever in college.
Weaknesses: During his workout in Denver, Faried admitted he needs to work on his offensive game — and his foul shooting.
Jordan Hamilton, Texas
Strengths: Hamilton is a good shooter for his size and can also post up well.
Weakness: Some would argue that at times he can play selfishly — but he's only 20, with room to mature.

What's attractive about him is he can play all over the field (coverage, safety, linebacker) and do it well. He would have been a top-40 pick had he declared last year, but used 2019 to increase his stock.

Here are the latest updates on return to football following new rules announced by the Government this week.
Please note this updated guidance comes into effect from the 24th September and failure to comply will result in Government issued fines.
Please read the following in full and review the attached FAQ document in detail.
Indoor Football:
We can confirm that some indoor formats of the game may continue from 24 September 2020 with certain restrictions following the UK Government's latest measures in relation to COVID-19.
The rule of six will apply to all indoor organised football for anyone over the age of 18. As a result, indoor training and 3 v. 3 games can continue for adults but they must be limited to groups of no more than six people and follow The FA's updated guidance on re-starting football (link). If groups of six adults are likely to mix during either indoor training or games they must not go ahead.
Everyone under the age of 18 or living with disabilities will be exempt from the rule of six. However, while indoor training and games will not be limited for these people, they must also follow The FA's updated guidance on re-starting indoor football (link).
All participants and staff involved in indoor football must also follow the UK Government's latest COVID-19 measures in relation to face coverings; facility closing times and NHS test and trace:
Face coverings must be worn by staff at all times and by participants when they are not taking part in training, games or seated at a table to eat or drink;

Zero-tolerance of hatred doesn't work - Life After Hate group
10:59 am on 29 April 2019
Katie Todd, Reporter
@Katietodd_NZ katie.todd@rnz.co.nz
Zero tolerance for white supremacists isn't the approach New Zealanders should be taking, says a US-based organisation helping people exit white supremacy groups.

Amid calls for crackdowns on far right hate speech and for the government to be more vocal in condemning it, Life After Hate programme director Robert Orell said we also needed to accept that people could actually change.
The non-profit group claims to have helped 150 people turn away from extremist hate groups since 2010. Last month, they partnered with Facebook to help the social media website to crack down on hate speech.
Co-founder Sammy Rangel, who describes himself as an author, social worker, peace activist and speaker, said the public was often condemning and intolerant of white supremacists, as if they couldn't be changed, or didn't deserve help.

But he said people could be tolerant and reach out to white supremacists, without accepting their ideas.
"There's never been a population that's been so broken or so incorrigible that they weren't worthy of human rights anymore," he said.
"I think that's part of the greatest threat and the greatest danger that people looking at these groups face. They have to challenge themselves not to give into those sentiments."
Five of the six people running Life After Hate claim to be ex-white supremacists themselves.
Mr Rangel said they knew firsthand that showing compassion to white supremacists "amid all the hatred", could help them reconsider their narrative about the world and the people in it.
"We're probably the only gatekeepers in the US right now who are concerned with this space - and we're doing it without having to condemn those group members ... nor do we feel that we need to concede any of those values that we oppose," he said.
No New Zealanders have ever reached out to Life After Hate, but the group said the country may need more resources focused on helping people leave behind white supremacy.
Mr Orell said instead of polarising people in white supremacist groups there was a need to try to understand them as fellow humans - vulnerable people who have turned to extremism to find identity, belonging, or status.

"The type of work that exit organisations usually do is helping people who are motivated to make a change and want to leave," he said.
"But, it's also to work with families and support families and help them to understand and respond to their loved one's involvement in violent extremist groups. Then the third aspect is to work with public information and trainings."
Mr Rangel said not only did he think there was room in New Zealand for that kind of an approach - it was a necessity.
"This isn't isolated to pockets of the US or New Zealand. This is becoming an international epidemic," Mr Rangel said.
Welcoming the idea of looking more closely at the "pathways into white supremacy" is University of Auckland sociology professor Steve Matthewman.
He said white supremacy was just as much a personal problem as a wider public issue. Helping individuals was a start, but wider institutional and systematic changes must follow.
"If we want to prevent white supremacist groups taking hold, and if we want to prevent the harms they visit on people then we absolutely need to understand the pathways that lead people into white supremacist groups," he said.
"But transforming that one individual isn't going to change opportunities in the job market, for example, so we do need large scale government intervention."

» Is one Japanese library's "book dominoes" event disrespectful to books or just a day of fun?
▼ Looks pretty fabulous for a library!
Gifu City's new library looks pretty awesome, as one would expect it to after being designed by famous Japanese conceptual architect Toyo Ito and costing the city more than a few yennies. Although it is not open yet, it looks beautiful and we wouldn't be surprised if people would flock to it without the need for any kind of opening ceremony or event. But hey, grand openings are fun, right?
▼ We could definitely work here.
To get the city's people interested in the library, show it off as more than just a book space and promote the idea of making Gifu a "book city," a committee of citizens – all unassociated with the library (but supported by the city Board of Education) – have planned an event for July 12, 2015. The event is called "Minna no mori (Everyone's forest) Gifu Media Cosmos," and the highlight event is the book dominoes show, during which 10,000 donated used books will be set up and toppled in one really long domino chain.
▼ If you're around Gifu, you could even attend!
The event planners got the idea from a few other libraries that did the same thing in the past. It all started with the city of Seattle's Central Library in 2013, when organizers successful knocked over a chain of 2,131 books. Libraries in both Belgium and the UK followed suit, pushing the world record up to 5,318 books. Gifu City plans to blow that record out of the water with their 10,000 book goal.
▼ Watch the Seattle event unfold!
Not everyone in Gifu is so keen on the book dominoes event, however. In fact, many people are pretty angry about it. Their main concern is that the library and organizers are disrespecting the authors and the books themselves by using them as toys.
▼ The books used probably won't be this old.
One very interesting and telling comment stated that "Japanese people hold books in high regard, almost as sacred." It's true that some Japanese children are taught to respect books and not mistreat them in any way, even tossing them haphazardly on the table or writing on them is out of the question. Maybe it's this upbringing that makes them see the events in Seattle and the other libraries as nothing short of appalling, while others see it as just a bit of fun.
It's worth noting, however, that these books won't just be used for play. Again, taking note from their predecessors, the Gifu library plans on taking the books used in the event and reselling them in the used book store, where all proceeds will go to supporting the library. Other countries have also donated the books to school children.
▼ 10,000 books would make a lot of money and a lot of readers happy.
Again, more interesting points. Does carefully standing up some books and then knocking them over a couple of times really damage the book that much? It will still be perfectly readable, and in fact maybe more people would become interested in reading the books used if they knew that they was part of a Guinness World Record. The event could, in a way, bring new life to these old books.
This is a pretty hot issue in Gifu and with Japanese Netizens right now, but what do you think? Is the event disrespecting the books and their authors or is it just a fun way to bring attention back to books and libraries? Let us know in the comments section below!
This is a great way to attract attention for your library and make an ad for your booksale.

Triple jump: 14.18m
Amanda Smock (née Thieschafer, born July 27, 1982) is an American triple jumper who competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics. In college, she was a three-time NCAA Division II track and field champion. She won the triple jump events at the United States Outdoor Championships in 2011 and 2012, and at the Indoor Championships in 2011.
Smock was born Amanda Thieschafer on July 27, 1982, to parents Beth and Glen Thieschafer.[1] She grew up in a small town in rural Minnesota - Melrose, Minnesota, where she began competing in gymnastics at age 4.[2] "There was this movie called Nadia after Nadia Comăneci, and I must have watched that thing 1,000 times," Smock later remarked. "I definitely was going to be an Olympic gymnast."[3] Although her father was a gymnastics coach, eventually she realized she was better suited for track and field, giving up on gymnastics as a teenager.[2][3] In high school, she excelled at long jump, pole vault, triple jump, and sprinting events.[3] Smock graduated from Melrose High School in 2000.[1] She attended North Dakota State University for college on an athletic scholarship, graduating in 2004.[3] In college, she was a three-time NCAA Division II triple jump champion.[3]
Athletic career
Smock qualified for the 2008 Olympic Track and Field Trials, but finished fifth and failed to make the Olympic team. After the meet, her father took his credential and replaced the "2008" with "2012."[1] He died shortly after the Trials, but Smock placed the credential where she would see it daily as a form of motivation.[1]
In 2011, Smock placed first in the triple jump at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a jump of 14.07 metres (46.2 ft).[1] However, her jump was just short of the B standard needed to participate in the World Championships. A few days before the American team was announced, she jumped a new personal best of 14.18 metres (46.5 ft), allowing her to compete at Worlds. She failed to make the final at the World Championships, finishing 31st of 34 competitors.[4] At the 2011 Indoor Championships, she finished second in the triple jump with a distance of 13.63 metres (44.7 ft).[1]
In 2012, she won the indoor championship with a distance of 13.77 metres (45.2 ft), qualifying her for the 2012 IAAF World Indoor Championships.[1] At Worlds, she finished 26th of 30 competitors.[5] At the Olympic Trials, which also served as the National Championships, she won the event with a jump of 13.94 metres (45.7 ft) and qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.[1] At the games, she failed to advance out of the qualifying round of competition. Her best of three attempts was 13.61 metres (44.7 ft), well short of the 14.4 metres (47 ft) necessary to advance. Of her performance, she remarked "To be here at the Olympic Games is awesome, and I think with each passing year this is going to mean more and more, and the performance will kind of fade away."[6] She was the lone female triple jump representative for the United States at the games.[2] Smock said she would continue to compete for another year at least, but said it was unlikely she would try for another Olympics.[6]
In 2014, Smock won the 2014 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships Triple Jump in 13.81 m (45 ft 31⁄2 in) but failed to qualify to the 2014 IAAF World Indoor Championships – Women's triple jump. However, in 2015, she again took the indoor national title in the women's triple jump for the fourth consecutive season, beating her own personal best with a jump of 43.58 feet (13.28 m).[7] Amanda finished 5th with a jump of 13.77 metres (45.2 ft) in triple jump at 2015 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships[8]
Amanda Smock has been married to former college teammate Greg Smock since 2009.[1][3] She is part of the New York Athletic Club Track Team and is sponsored by Asics.[3] Amanda has worked as a partner at a small business specializing in corporate wellness programs.[1] She considers herself blessed to not have to try to balance work and training.[3] She celebrated her 30th birthday on July 27, the opening day of the Olympic Games in 2012.[3]
Smock is also a coach for Macalester College's track and field team, coaching long jump and triple jump.[9]

WASHINGTON — The Technology Transfer Office at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory forged a strategic partnership with 1776, the nation's largest network of entrepreneurial incubators, to foster innovative-intellectual exchange and gainful collaborative agreements.
Gaining early visibility of new technology-driven markets can help NRL researchers understand the culture, mindset and tools tech startups use to think differently about the future — an advantage that can be leveraged in developing future naval capabilities.
"The current pilot program will last for one year and will provide a new perspective of the innovation ecosystem and more opportunities for collaborative research, and other partnerships, that we may not have otherwise," said McKinney.
NRL's strategic partnership with 1776 offers access to new tech companies who see problems through a different lens and create new solutions — offering insight into new networks of innovators.
To navigate government-dominated markets, 1776 intentionally chose to locate their first two campuses in the Greater Washington Metropolitan region. This strategic move has enabled the firm to search for avenues that can drive massive scale revenue and forge proprietary connections like that with NRL.
Jennifer Maher, chief executive officer of 1776, is confident that partnerships like this will provide resolution for challenges facing the world today.
"Our world is facing daunting challenges requiring solutions from collaborative and strategic partnerships and we are excited to pair our entrepreneur ingenuity and expertise in commercialization with the research and intellectual rigor from the NRL," said Maher.
According to Maher, profitability will be an attribute of NRL's return on investment resulting from this partnership.
"We are hopeful that this partnership will accelerate the transfer of knowledge into solutions and profit at much higher rates," said Maher.
1776 also offers professional settings and space outside of NRL's gates for meetings and aligns with the objective of producing collaboration on all fronts, such as the recent Innovation Discovery Event (IDE) for NRL on Nov. 28, 2018.
During the IDE, four NRL researchers presented to a panel of private and public, research and development professionals, with representatives from the Office of Secretary of Defense, while private-industry leaders provided viable feedback.
For more information about NRL's strategic partnership with 1776 contact the NRL Technology Transfer Office at tech.transfer@nrl.navy.mil or 202-767-7230.

Eskom Calls on Greater SA Commitment to Power Generation

South Africa needs to commit more to distribution and skills if it is going to reach its promise of universal access to the national electricity grid by 2012, according to a report by Reuters.
Eskom managing director Kannan Lakmeehran said a significant investment is needed if more energy is to be provided to the nation, which has been on rationing now for years.
"It's a difficult target. It will require significantly higher investment in distribution networks in Eskom and in the municipalities," Lakmeehran said.
"We also need to make sure that we have enough skills to execute the programme. That's another major concern."
Lakmeehran said that Eskom is willing to make an investment of $40bn to reach the target.
Eskom operates 11 coal-fired power plants and runs Africa's only nuclear and other small power plants and claims to generate 95% of the country's power.
Eskom has been rationing electricity supply this year as the national grid has been unable to meet the demand.

Gunnerales — порядок квіткових рослин. У системах APG III (2009) і APG IV (2016) він містить два роди: Gunnera (у родині Gunneraceae) і Myrothamnus (у родині Myrothamnaceae). Хоча це підтвердив аналіз ДНК, групування двох родин було несподіванкою, враховуючи їхню дуже різну морфологію. У старій системі Кронквіста (1981, 1988) і Тахтаджана (1997) Gunneraceae належали до Rosidae, а Myrothamnaceae — до Hamamelidaceae. У сучасних системах класифікації, таких як APG III і APG IV, цей порядок був першим, що походить від основних евдикотів.

Морфологія
Обидві родини містять елагову кислоту. Клітини флоеми містять велику кількість пластид, а листки мають зубчасті межі. Рослини дводомні, мають дрібні квітки без оцвітини.

Екологія
Myrothamnaceae та Gunneraceae дуже відрізняються:
 Gunneraceae є мезофільною травою (часто великого розміру), і гідатоди добре розвинені та виділяють слиз або, можливо, смолистий покрив.
 Myrothamnaceae — кущ із посушливих середовищ, а гідатоди слабо розвинені й виділяють рослинну смолу.
Обидва мають квітки без оцвітини, але деталі пилку відрізняються.

Model energy codes continue to set higher efficiency standards. As the industry recognizes the key role enclosures play in overall building performance, continuous insulation (CI) has come to the forefront as an effective method in addressing these increased performance requirements. A critical element of maintaining insulation that is "continuous" is the roof/wall transition.

Susan Boyle's eyebrows sign separate record deal
BLACKBURN, SCOTLAND - Susan Boyle's eyebrows, who recently captured the world's attention on the British television show "Britain's Got Talent", have signed a lucrative record deal with U.S. music giant Interscope Records.
Interscope executives say they believe the world will see the Boyle eyebrows as bushier Scottish versions of the beloved Mary Kate and Ashley. The Interscope contract reportedly stipulates both eyebrows must be removed from Ms. Boyle to allow for a separate appearance schedule. Recording sessions are already planned for the eyebrows and a worldwide tour schedule is currently in development.
From her home in Blackburn Scotland, Ms. Boyle commented, "I am very happy for both of my eyebrows, Margaret and Caroline. In some ways this will be difficult because I am very attached to both of them. I am sure the separation will be painful at first."
When asked if she plans to grow a new set of eyebrows the singer said, "Of course I could never completely replace Margaret and Caroline. But my publicist and agent say I should grow two smaller versions so I can pay homage to Margaret and Caroline without making them feel they have been replaced."

Although Father Dupuis was cleared of any error, the entire episode raises questi


For many women, this is a frustrating, exhausting ritual that happens frequently, no matter if they are assistant or executive level. But knowing how to professionally handle the mansplaining when it happens to you can be tricky.
While the term "mansplaining" has only been around for about five years or so (since Rebecca Solnit's 2014 book Men Explain Things to Me), women have been experiencing it at work for centuries. What is "mansplaining" exactly? It can take plenty of forms, but in a general sense, this concept refers to an instance where a male employee instructs his female employee on how to do a part of her job she's skilled at. However, he assumes because of her gender, she doesn't know how to complete the task at hand.
Founder of LXMI and Samasource, Leila Janah says oftentimes, her interactions with male senior hires or board members would lead them to counter her ideas, based on their "experience." Because they felt as if they had many more years under their belt, they found their ideas superior, even two going as far to attempt to get her fired. While it's tempting to unleash your fury, Janah says the best course of action is to remain calm—but not to back down, no matter what they call you.
But rather than attempting to mask an icy composure, Janah says it's helpful to challenge in a professional way, not undermining but being direct. She's even asked a few people "Would you treat a man in my position the same way?" or "It feels like you don't take me seriously as an equal/as your boss. Is there any truth to this statement?" Both of these, she notes, have cleared up any attitude, ASAP. "Own it—and use data to back up your arguments wherever possible. Mansplaining is no match for data-driven confidence," she adds.
Despite being the founder and CEO of the AI company Node, Falon Fatemi constantly has a male explaining to her, in great detail, how software works when networking. Even when she's leading the conversation, men will step in to override or "better detail" the function, when in reality, they're just repeating what she's already said. Since it's her company, she's advised the team to avoid making assumptions, encouraged them to ask questions, and to give all people the benefit of the doubt. "It's disrespectful to assume people don't understand basic concepts in the industry they're working in and shows a lack of self-awareness," she notes.

Q: mysql_real_escape_string is undefined I am using PHP version 5.3 and trying to use mysql_real_escape_string($unescaped_string) in my code, but I get the error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_real_escape_string()
in /var/www/engine/database.php on line 38

I can still connect to the database however.  Why is it not available?
I am using PHP version 5.3.

A: In my case I used mysqli_real_escape_string instead of mysql_real_escape_string.

A: Update as mentioned in comment, mysql_ has been deprecated since 5.5:

The mysql extension has been deprecated since PHP 5.5. The mysqli or PDO extension should be used instead. The deprecation has been decided in mysql_deprecation, where a discussion of the reasons behind this decision can be found.

and removed in PHP 7.

mysql_real_escape_string() is standard part of MySQL function "batch" and should always work if the extension is loaded correctly.
Does any another mysql_ function work? (It should not)
Make sure, that you have this line uncommented in your php.ini:
extension=mysql.so

Also it'd be wise to use mysqli or PDO instead (mysql_ is deprecated), they both can take care of escaping for you.

A: Interestingly, after exploring all the other solutions here, I realized the problem is actually due to the php5-mysql extension not having been installed yet - it's not installed by default on a fresh Ubuntu, neither when u install fresh php. So, for me the solution became: install the php5-mysql extension:
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql

After this, I wasn't getting those nasty mysql_* errors again ;-)

A: Maybe your problem resides into the php server config (compiling).
Here more information about the mysql_real_escape_string:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-real-escape-string.php

A: MySQL extension is deprecated since PHP 5.5. mysql_real_escape_string() is therefore not available in PHP 7. This means that user input cannot be escaped correctly and leaves the code open to SQL injection attacks.
The PHP-official solution is to replace ext/mysql with MySQLi, PDO or other supported database extension.
To prevent SQL injection attacks, it is recommended to use prepared statements and parameterized queries when talking to the database.

Patience has paid off, Madison is now pain free through her back and withers, with help from her new SMART Native GP saddle.
"I bought a SMART NATIVE GP saddle for my pony, Madison, in April. Three months later, the McTimoney therapist who looks after her back said that she is pain free through the withers. This might not sound like much, but it has taken a year of trial and error to get to this point and it's SO great to know that I can now take her out without causing her pain.
We are just back from a three day camp, jumping and hacking every day; the saddle is really comfortable for me, and it's good to know that it must be comfortable for her too.
