The author, Denny Emerson, makes his points mostly through the art of storytelling, relaying his experiences as he rode a variety of breeds and disciplines throughout his long career. While Mr. Emerson is probably most well-known for his three-day eventing career, he also competed in endurance riding and rode Park-type Morgan horses. In addition, the book features lots of interview side-bars where professional and amateur riders alike tell their own experiences with beginning and beginning again with horses.
Sound Transit said Shifted West would preclude building the neighboring South Lake Union station at 7th Avenue and Harrison Street, serving more than 10,000 daily riders and offering high quality transfers with the busy bus corridor on Aurora Avenue. After Mayor Harrell briefly backed that option at the urging of Amazon, Vulcan, and other major employers, transit advocates spoke out in large numbers (including a petition with more than 6,000 signatures) rallying against dropping the South Lake Union station from the line and delaying plans with endless study.

In his third book, Emerson once again masterfully intertwines his entertaining reflections from a life embedded in the equestrian world with serious philosophical questions faced by the industry today and practical advice honed by his immense experience. Readers will discover:
There are all sorts of beginning places, and they can be for the first time or after a "gap." They can mean you are beginning, or your horse is. They can mean you barely got started, or you started badly. Renowned horseman Denny Emerson knows all about the importance of these beginnings. Through an impressive career in the saddle that spans decades, he has worked with all different breeds, competed at the top international levels of eventing and endurance, lost horses and found new ones, taught young riders and adult amateurs, traded Western tack for English and back again, been injured...only to rehab, climb back in the saddle, and start over.
With inspirational stories of beginning and beginning again from top equestrians, as well as personal reflections from "regular" horse people around the world, these pages promise to inspire a start or a change, and provide a roadmap we all can follow, whatever our ambitions. Emerson reassures us that it doesn't matter where your beginning point is--start where you are. And, even better, there is a do-over button--you just have to decide to push it. This book is for every horse person who continues to dream of something else or something more, and just needs someone to say: "Begin."
"Denny Emerson's Begin and Begin Again is the book I've been waiting for him to write.One of our most accomplished competitive equestrians has a broad and compassionate view of the role that horses can play in all the phases of our lives, and assures us that most of us will invent and reinvent our relationship with horses throughout our lives. Beautifully illustrated with photos, interspersed with inspiring stories of re-riders who have stepped away and gone back to a life with horses, and filled with practical tips, this is a book that every horse person will want to purchase, put on the most treasured book shelf, and refer to again and again." --Elizabeth Letts, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of tag_hash_108____________________ and tag_hash_109__________________________
"Denny has done it again! His latest book Begin and Begin Again is chock full of the wisdom and wit that we've all come to expect from our national treasure Denny Emerson.The sidebars 'Stories from Riders' assure the regular rider they are on the right path and the in-depth competition journeys provide a behind the scenes look at competition at the highest level. I highly recommend this book to riders of all ages and riding abilities!" --Sally Batton, President and Founder of Athletic Equestrian League and author of tag_hash_111_______________________
"Emerson intertwines philosophy with anecdotes, and the book features sidebars with stories from professionals and amateurs alike about beginnings on their equestrian journeys. ... While the lessons are centered around horses, most can be applied to other aspects of life--from creating an environment conducive to learning to knowing when it's best to walk away and begin again." --tag_hash_112________ magazine
Denny's had spent $100,000 (!) to get the windmill in running condition again. The renovations included adding a new motor and reinforced blades. And, oh yeah, there are LED lights now, so the windmill will light up at night.
This diversity matter is once again before the Court on plaintiff's Motion to Remand. Defendant opposes the motion. For the following reasons, the Court concludes that plaintiff's motion must be granted.
Background. Plaintiff filed this action in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, Missouri on November 1, 1996. Defendant removed the case to this Court pursuant to *879 28 U.S.C. 1332 and 1441, and it was filed as Case No. 4:96-CV-2399 CAS. Plaintiff filed a motion to remand accompanied by the affidavit of her counsel which stated, inter alia, that plaintiff did not seek damages in excess of $50,000.00, the then-jurisdictional limit. Based on plaintiff's stipulation that she sought an amount less than $50,000.00, defendant filed a motion to dismiss its petition for removal. Plaintiff's motion to remand was granted by order dated January 14, 1997. On October 14, 1997, defendant again removed the action to this Court, after having received a letter from plaintiff's counsel offering to settle the case for the sum of $75,000.00.
Defendant responds that the citizenship of third-party defendants is not considered in determining whether complete diversity exists, and therefore the Court may exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the third-party claim. 28 U.S.C. 1367. With regard to the amount in controversy, defendant refers to the affidavit filed by plaintiff's counsel in Case No. 4:96-CV-2399 which stated, "Plaintiff does not seek compensation in excess of $50,000.00 for the bodily injuries she sustained...." Defendant asserts that it removed the case again "based upon the reasonable belief that if plaintiff [now] evaluates this case at $75,000.00 for settlement purposes, then the amount in controversy is some figure greater should the matter be taken to a verdict." (Def.'s Mem. of Law at 4-5.) Defendant also states,
Conclusion. For these reasons, the Court again concludes that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction over this matter. Plaintiff's motion to remand should be granted, and her motion to dismiss the petition for removal should be denied as moot.
Vice President's Remarks at Speaker Hastert's Annual Mega Event An America Rally
September 18, 2004
Northern Illinois University Convocation Center
Dekalb, Illinois 7:26 P.M. CDT THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you very much.(Applause.) Well, thank you. And thank you for that warm welcome.It's great to be back in Illinois. I've been looking forward to thisevent. When Denny invited me he said, it will be a fun night, justdinner with a few of our closest friends. (Laughter.) Turns out Dennyand Jean Hastert have a lot of great friends, and Lynne and I are proudto be among them tonight. (Applause.) I just finished the last two days campaigning. I came toWashington this afternoon. But I've been in West Virginia, Arkansas,Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon in recent days. We're now just 45 days fromone of the most important elections in our history. And I'm convincedwhen Americans make their decision on November 2nd, the American peoplewill once again elect a Republican Congress and President George W.Bush. (Applause.) And I'm honored to join all of you this evening. I've run intosome friends of my own this evening, including a former member of myvice presidential staff, Ethan Hastert. Ethan, you can have your oldjob back any time you want. (Laughter.) Talent and character run inthe family, and Ethan was a great member of my team. It's good to seeCongressman Don Manzullo tonight. Don. (Applause.) As well as JudyBarr Topinka. Judy. (Applause.) And any time you want to polka, youcall me, all right? (Laughter.) But I also want to thank everybody who worked so hard to make thisdinner a success. And most of all, I want to thank the people of the14th district for sending Denny Hastert to Washington to be ourspeaker. (Applause.) Now, Denny and I got to know each other back inthe '80s when we served together in the House of Representatives. Backin those days, Denny was not planning on becoming Speaker of theHouse. Truth be told, that was my ambition. I wanted to be Speaker.As it turned out, Denny rose to the great office and I had to settlefor second best and preside over the Senate. (Laughter.) Don't tellmy Senate friends that. But I do have certain official duties as the President of theSenate, most of which involve sitting and saying nothing. That's myjob every January during the State of the Union address, where I sit upthere on the rostrum right next to the Speaker of the House behind thePresident. We try hard not to draw attention to ourselves, but it'snot easy. When you put Dick Cheney and Denny Hastert together, it'shard to contain all that charisma. (Laughter and applause.) Denny is the sixth Speaker of the House I've been privileged toknow. In fact, because of our great interest in history, my wife,Lynne, and I actually wrote a book together about the Speaker's officeand some of the men who have held it. The book is called Kings of theHill. It's still a popular selection at garage sales. (Laughter.)But I came to have a very special admiration for one of the great 19thcentury Speakers, Henry Clay. Clay had his share of adversaries. Butreading about him and his times, I learned a thing or two about gettingalong and winning over the opposition. Listen to what John C. Calhounhad to say about him. He said, "I don't like Henry Clay. He's a badman, an imposter, a creator of wicked schemes. I wouldn't speak tohim, but, by God, I love him." (Laughter.) A nice thought I guess,but something tells me that neither of those guys managed to change thetone in Washington. If you spend any time in politics, it doesn't take long torecognize all the different kinds of personality and style, and all thedifferent ways legislators go about their work, and how they try toachieve their goals. Some are convinced that the only way to getthings done is to be aggressive, pound on the table, throw elbows, makethreats, and play for the evening news, and the morning headlines. Andsometimes I suppose that works. But there's another way to go aboutthings, a quieter kind of leadership that gets results, builds respectand goodwill across party lines, and makes the system work a lot betterin the long run. And that's the way Speaker Hastert does his job.Today in Washington -- (applause) -- today in Washington, bothDemocrats and Republicans will tell you it's a better Congress becauseDenny Hastert is the Speaker of the House. (Applause.) Here in his home state, you've known Denny as a great teacher, anadmired coach, an outstanding representative in Springfield. And youknow the character of the man, his faith in God, his completeintegrity, and the unfailing courtesy and decency that he shows toothers. Out in Washington, we see those qualities in Denny every day.In a town known for grandstanding, Denny doesn't mind working long,hard hours behind the scenes to build a consensus. In a town wheretrust is sometimes hard to build, everybody knows that Denny Hastertdelivers on his commitments and always keeps his word. (Applause.) I count it an honor to work with him and to be his friend, andthere's an awful lot of people in Washington who feel exactly the sameway. You won't find a person more widely respected in the Nation'sCapital than Speaker Denny Hastert. (Applause.) President Bush and I came to office four years ago with great goalsfor the country. And to achieve them, we needed strong effectiveallies on Capitol Hill. Thanks in large part to the Speaker'sleadership, these years of challenge for America have also been yearsof real accomplishment. Working together, we passed the largestfederal tax relief in a generation. Working together -- (Applause.)Working together, we strengthened Medicare, providing a prescriptiondrug benefit for the first time ever for our seniors. Workingtogether, we've reorganized the government to better protect ourhomeland. And working together, we've given the United States militarythe tools they need and the respect they deserve. (Applause.) In this campaign, we're running on more than a good record.President Bush has a clear, forward-looking strategy to build a morehopeful America and a safer world. Our President -- (Applause.) OurPresident understands the changing times we live in and the need forpolicies that help Americans find new opportunities and pursue theirdreams. Our President also understands the power of liberty totransform nations, and to bring a future of hope and peace. We'relooking forward to talking about that vision over the next 45 days.We're looking forward to November 2nd, when we once again elect GeorgeW. Bush President for four more years. (Applause.) A presidential election is always an extremely important event, andthis election could not come at a more crucial time in our history.Today we face an enemy every bit as determined to destroy us as theAxis powers were in World War II. This is not an enemy we can reasonwith, or negotiate with, or appease. This is, to put it simply, anenemy that we must destroy. And that's exactly what we will do withGeorge W. Bush as President. (Applause.) I'm sure many of you heard Rudy Giuliani's remarks at theRepublican convention. Rudy remembered that after the attacks on hiscity, on 9/11, he turned at one point to his police commissioner,Bernie Kerik, and said, "Thank God George W. Bush is our President."(Applause.) Under the President's leadership, we have reached around the worldto capture and kill hundreds of Al Qaeda. In Afghanistan, the campswhere terrorists trained to kill Americans have been shut down, theTaliban driven from power. In Iraq, we dealt with a gathering threat,and removed the regime of Saddam Hussein. (Applause.) Seventeenmonths ago, he controlled the lives and the fortunes of 25 millionpeople. Tonight, he sits in jail. (Applause.) President Bush does not deal in empty threats and half-waymeasures, and his determination has sent a very clear message. Justfive days after Saddam Hussein was captured, the government of Libyaagreed to abandon its nuclear weapons program and turn the materialsover to the United States. Tonight, the uranium, the centrifuges, andthe design for nuclear weapons that were once hidden in Libya arelocked up and stored away, down at Oak Ridge, in Tennessee, never againto threaten anyone. (Applause.) The biggest danger we face today is having nuclear weapons fallinto the hands of terrorists. The President is working with manycountries on a global effort to end the trade and transfer of thesedeadly technologies. The most important result thus far -- and a veryimportant one -- is that the black-market network that supplied nuclearweapons technology to Libya, as well as to Iran and North Korea, hasbeen shut down. And the world's worst source of proliferation is outof business. We're all safer as a result. (Applause.) We could not have succeeded in these efforts without the help ofdozens of countries around the world. We will always seekinternational support for international efforts, but as President Bushhas made very clear, there is a difference between leading a coalitionof many nations and submitting to the objections of a few. We willnever seek a permission slip to defend the United States of America.(Applause.) America faces a choice on November 2nd between a strong andsteadfast President with a proven record and his opponent, who seems toadopt a new position every day. Recently, John Kerry gave us what Ithink is his eighth position on the war. He said that Iraq was, quote,"the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time." Except it turnsout that is really somebody else's position. It's former DemocraticPrimary Candidate Howard Dean's position. And nine months ago whenHoward Dean took that position during the primaries, Senator Kerryjumped on him, and said, and I quote: "Those who doubted whether Iraqor the world would be better off without Saddam Hussein, and those whobelieve today that we are not safer with his capture, don't have thejudgment to be President or the credibility to be elected President."(Applause.) In the spirit of bipartisanship, this is one position ofSenator Kerry's I agree with. (Laughter and applause.) But in all the national campaigns I have watched up close, I havenever seen a candidate go back and forth so many times on a singleissue. All the shifts Senator Kerry has made are troubling, but thereis one that really stands out. It starts with Senator Kerry and hisrunning mate, Senator Edwards, voting in favor of using force againstSaddam Hussein. But then, when it came time to vote for funds thatwould provide our fighting men and women with body armor, ammunition,jet fuel, and spare parts, Senators Kerry and Edwards voted no. Only 12 members of the United States Senate opposed the fundingthat would provide vital resources for the troops. Only four senatorsvoted for the use of force and against the resources our men and womenin uniform needed once they were in combat. Only four. Senators Kerryand Edwards were two of those four. At first Senator Kerry said that he didn't really oppose thefunding. He both supported and opposed it. (Laughter.) He said, andI quote, "I actually voted for the $87 billion before I voted againstit." (Laughter.) That certainly clears things up. (Laughter.) Butlately he's been saying he's proud that he and John Edwards voted no,and he explains his decision was "complicated." But funding American troops in combat should never be a complicatedquestion. (Applause.) This week, while speaking to the National GuardAssociation, John Kerry said that our troops deserve no less than thebest. But I am stunned by the audacity of that statement since it wasJohn Kerry who voted to send our troops into combat and then voted todeny them the support they needed once they were at war. We need aPresident who will back our troops 100 percent, and that's exactly whatwe've got in George W. Bush. (Applause.) Senator Kerry said that leadership starts with telling the truth.But the American people know that true leadership also requires theability to make a decision. True leadership is sticking with adecision in the face of political pressure, and true leadership isstanding for your principles regardless of your audience or who've justhired on as a political advisor. (Applause.) Senator Kerry said hewould always be straight with the American people on the good days andon the bad days. In his case, that means when the headlines are good,he's for the war. And when his poll numbers are bad, he's against it.This constant back-and-forth may be a good strategy for windsurfing,but it's no way to run for the President of the United States.(Laughter and applause.) These are not times for leaders who shift with the political winds,saying one thing one day and another, the next. Our troops, ourallies, and our enemies must know where America stands. The Presidentof the United States must be clear and consistent. In his years in Washington, John Kerry has been one of a hundredvotes in the United States Senate, and fortunately on matters ofnational security, his views rarely prevailed. But the presidency isan entirely different proposition. A senator can be wrong for 20years, without consequence for the nation. But a President -- aPresident -- always casts the deciding vote. (Applause.) And in thistime of challenge, America needs -- and America has -- a President wecan count on to get it right. (Applause.) President Bush knows that our dedicated servicemen and womenrepresent the very best of the United States of America. (Applause.)And I want to thank them and all the veterans with us here tonight forwhat they've done for all of us. (Applause.) On Iraq, Senator Kerry has disagreed with many of his fellowDemocrats. But Senator Kerry's liveliest disagreement is withhimself. (Laughter.) His back-and-forth reflects a habit ofindecision, and sends a message of confusion. And it is all part of apattern. He has, in the last several years, been for the No Child LeftBehind Act -- and against it. He has spoken in favor of the NorthAmerican Free Trade Agreement -- and against it. He is for the PatriotAct -- and against it. Senator Kerry says he sees two Americas. Itmakes the whole thing mutual -- America sees two John Kerrys.(Laughter and applause.) Our country requires strong and consistent leadership for ouractions overseas, and the same is true for our policies here at home.When President Bush and I stood on the inaugural platform on the westside of the Capitol and took the oath of office, our economy wassliding into recession. Then, on 9/11, terrorists struck our nationand shook the economy once again. We faced a basic decision -- toleave more money with families and businesses, or to take more of theAmerican people's hard-earned money for the federal government.President Bush made his choice. And working with Denny Hastert, weproposed and delivered tax savings to the American people -- not once,not twice, but three times. (Applause.) Every American who pays federal income taxes benefited from theBush tax cuts, and so has our economy. We've created jobs for the last12 consecutive months -- a total of about 1.7 million new jobs in thelast year; 144,000 new jobs in the last month alone. (Applause.)Mortgage rates, and interest rates, and inflation are all low.Consumers are confident, businesses are investing, and families aretaking home more of what they earn. We know there are still challenges. The President and I will notbe satisfied until every American who wants to work can find a job.(Applause.) But this is a strong economy, it's getting stronger. Andthe Bush tax cuts are working. (Applause.) Our accomplishments these last four years have made America safer,stronger, and better. And in our second term with the Speaker's help,we will keep moving forward with a pro-growth, pro-jobs agenda. Wewill work to make the Bush tax cuts permanent. And to help familiesand small businesses, we will lead a bipartisan effort to reform andsimplify the federal tax code. (Applause.) We will work to end lawsuit abuse. (Applause.) We know it's a loteasier for America's businesses to hire new workers if they don't haveto keep hiring lawyers. (Applause.) It's not too late to pick anotherprofession, Ethan. (Laughter.) We will work for medical liability reform because we know the costof malpractice insurance is creating a crisis. (Applause.) America'sdoctors should be able to spend their time healing patients, notfighting off frivolous lawsuits. (Applause.) President Bush and I will also continue to defend our society'sfundamental rights and values. We stand for a culture of life, and wereject the brutal practice of partial birth abortion. (Applause.) Westand strongly for the Second Amendment, and we will defend theindividual right of every American to bear arms. (Applause.) Webelieve that our nation is "one nation under God." (Applause.) And webelieve Americans ought to be able to say so when we pledge allegianceto the flag. (Applause.) There shouldn't be any question about this -- and there wouldn't beif we had more reasonable judges on the federal bench. (Applause.) Inhis second term, President Bush will continue nominating sensible,mainstream judges committed to interpreting the law -- not legislatingfrom the bench. (Applause.) On issue after issue, President Bush has a clear vision for thefuture of our nation. America has come to know him, and I have come toadmire him very much. I watch him at work every day. He's a person ofloyalty and kindness, a man who speaks plainly and means what he says.I have seen him face some of the hardest decisions that can come to theman in the Oval Office, and make those decisions with the wisdom andthe humility that Americans expect in their President. (Applause.) Abroad, under President Bush's leadership, we will use America'sgreat power to serve great purposes, to protect our homeland by turningback and defeating the forces of terror, and to spread hope and freedomaround the world. Here at home, we will work with the Speaker tocontinue building prosperity that reaches every corner of the land sothat every child in America has a chance to learn, to succeed, and torise in the world. (Applause.) The President and I are honored by your confidence in us, in ourSpeaker, and by your commitment to the cause we all share. We willwage this effort with complete confidence in the judgment of theAmerican people. The signs are good -- here in Illinois, and even inMassachusetts. (Applause.) According to a news account, peopleleaving the Democratic National Convention in July asked a Bostonpoliceman for directions. He replied, "Leave here -- and go voteRepublican." (Laughter and applause.) We are honored to have the support of that police officer and ofall Americans from every calling in life -- Republican, Democrat, andindependent alike. The President and I are grateful to our manyfriends across the great state of Illinois for your hard work andsupport in making Illinois part of a nationwide effort. We're honoredto work at the side of fine leaders like Denny Hastert, and we're gladyou've sent him to Washington for these many years. I want to thankyou for the tremendous welcome this evening. With your help, there'sno doubt in mind that come November 2nd, we'll see a great victory allacross the nation. Thank you very much. (Applause.) END 7:52 P.M.
