Say if an Indian plays cricket, or an Islander plays rugby league or union, african american boxers. i just hear about people in Australia not watching or playing sport because a ‘race’ of people play the sport.

I am only 5′2, and my horse is 16.2hh. Do I look ok riding a horse of this height? Being able to control the horse is not a concern. My horse is not dead-sided or hard-mouthed, and I am actually quite strong for my size (not that I’m too hard on the horse or anything..)
so anyways, here are some pics of me riding my horse: http://s113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/D_A_N_I_E_L_L_E_0408/?action=view&current=1-4.jpg http://s113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/D_A_N_I_E_L_L_E_0408/New%20Horse%20Mya/?action=view&current=2-1.jpg http://s113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/D_A_N_I_E_L_L_E_0408/New%20Horse%20Mya/?action=view&current=4.jpg My horse looks really short in all of the pictures because of the angle
Here are some pics of my horse on the ground to show her height: http://s113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/D_A_N_I_E_L_L_E_0408/?action=view&current=1-1.jpg http://s113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/D_A_N_I_E_L_L_E_0408/New%20Horse%20Mya/?action=view&current=10.jpg note: I would probably look a lot better if my horse wasn’t so fat lol
she used to be so fit when I got her from a racing stable, now she looks pregnant..which is actually a possibility since they tried to breed her before they put her up for sale
here’s another riding picture when she was starting to frame up a little bit: http://s113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/D_A_N_I_E_L_L_E_0408/New%20Horse%20Mya/?action=view&current=3-1.jpg

Ok, so the past 2 months I have not been feeling well at all. I am 14, healthy, and never had a medical problem. At first, I started with a pain in my lower right abdomen, my mom and I thought it was appendicitis. When I went to the ER, the doctor said it was an enlarged ovaary since I havent started my period yet (that was Aug. 10). The pain subsided over a few days. But then, I started to feel fatigued and nauseous all the time and would sometimes get a little dizzy. I started getting pains in my left ribcage, a little below my chest. My mom thought I was being dramatic, so she dismissed it until my hand went numb and stayed numb for several hours. I went to the ER again, nothing, they did an X-ray for a pinched nerve. However, my blood pressure was at about 140/70, when at my physical in July it was at 96/64. My doctor has said that ideal is 120/70, but that96/64 was very good. This concerned my mom but not the ER people. So the numbness went away, but would returen in my hands and feet sometimes, though nowhere near as numb. The other symptoms continued also. I would have episodes of shortness of breath ( I feel these almost constantly now) and I started sleeping during the day, which I have NEVER done. So, my mom scheduled me a doctorssappt. and I told him all my symptoms and he called for a blood and urine test and a mono test. All came back fine. However, my blood pressure was at 130/70, so he is having me monitor my blood pressure for a while. That was about 3 and a half weeks ago. Whenever I move, my bones make cracking noises, and I sometimes get these aches in my lower legs and shoulders. I have been experiencing some mild headaches too. I still feel nauseous and tired. I believe I have had several panic attacks too, when my heart races really fast and I get so scared of death and I sometimes cry because I am so scared. These little attacks last about an hour and happen at night. I dont tell my mom all my symptoms because she thinks it is al in my head, the only thing that concerned her was my blood pressure. Until today, when I noticed a rash like thing. Its not a rash because it is under the skin and the skin is not irritated, its like these very very small pinpricks of red, there is a splotch of them on the top of my foot and one on my arm. She said she is making another doctors appt. I’m pretty sure it is not cancer, since the blood test and and urine came back normal. I just want a second opinion, and I AM seeing a doctor, so dont tell me to go see a doctor, I just want some of your thoughts. Also, I run a low grade fever of about a hundred on and off. I have had sevral colds in the past month, but my little brother just started preschool and I am homeschooled so he brings thing home, even though when I went to public school I never got anything but the stomach flu about once a year.
I have had 2 swollen lymph nodes too, one in my neck, the other in my underarm. Both went away.
Well, Dr. Goddess, I would like a guess at what I have!

30 people enter a race and the first 8 people to finish the race recieve a trophy (all the trophies are different). If person A and person B have to be in the top 3, how many ways can the trophies by awarded? I’m thinking that there are 3!(28!/22!) ways to award the trophies. the 3! is the number of ways to award the trophies to the top 3 and the 28!/22! is the number of ways to award the rest of the trophies to the remaining runners who are not person a or b. Is my thinking correct or am I wrong?

I had found the book in a used book store when I was young, and can not remember the title or author, except for something with the term ‘Golden’.
It’s about a race of golden feline people (3ft tall) and their crash landing on a planet, down through hundreds of generations, and finally to human contact later. I believed it had parts of it’s own language developed with a glossary of words in the back of the book. I can remember many little details, but none of it has helped me find the book so far. It mustv’e been written before 1994, and probably between the 60s-80s. If anyone can even give me a clue as to any sites or tools that could help me track down this book, it would be MUCH appreciated.
