Safe Twitching
Written by Melissa Cassutt
There are three basic types of restraint that can be effective during an emergency: location restraint, physical restraint and chemical restraint. Colorado veterinarian Ruth Sorensen discusses different techniques of twitching, a form of physical restraint that can help control your horse as you address an emergency.
In part two, Sorensen explains how to properly apply three different types of hobbles. Our series on emergency restraint techniques concludes with an article on different types of location restraint, chemical restraint, and special techniques to restrain a foal, mule or donkey.
There are two areas on a horse that can be effectively and humanely twitched—the neck and the nose. Vulnerable anatomy, such as ears, joints or genitals should never be used for restraint. Besides being illegal in some states, ear twitches can cause permanent damage and may actually provoke aggression in some horses.
There are a few situations in which a twitch should not be used. These include if a horse is:
• Thrashing. To ensure the safety of the horse and the handler, a horse that is thrashing (as is often the case with a bad colic) should not be twitched or restrained with any other technique.
• Hurt in the area to be twitched. This may sound obvious, but it still deserves to be noted. Do not apply a twitch to an injured area, such as a sunburned muzzle or a shoulder suffering from a laceration.
• Acting up. Twitching should be used only in an emergency, and only to restrain a horse long enough to prevent further injury as the situation is being handled. Twitching should never be used as a form of discipline.
Nose twitches can be applied by hand or with a piece of equipment.
As for twitching equipment, there are three basic types of nose twitches:
• Humane twitches. These metal clamps hinge at one end to squeeze the upper lip, and fasten at the opposite end with a snap. Though called humane twitches, Sorensen says they can end up causing injury by pinching or slipping loose.
• Rope-end twitches. These twitches are comprised of a long stick with a rope loop at one end. The loop is applied to the upper lip and twisted tight. As with the humane twitch, these can also have a problem with slipping.
• Chain-end twitches. These twitches are the same as a rope-end twitch, but instead of a rope loop, they have a chain loop, which provides more grip.
Whatever type of twitch you use, it's important to stay active and aware when twitching a horse. If using your hands, "work the twitch" by pulsing your hands and massaging the area; if using a piece of equipment, gently and slowly roll the handle over and back, being careful not to loosen the twitch.

Introduction to On-Line Bridge Training Presentations
Please read these instructions carefully prior to beginning working through the on-line lesson modules.
This SWOSOA/OHSAA Bridge Training has been developed to transition an existing Grade 8 USSF Referee to meet the criteria necessary to qualify as a NFHS/OHSAA referee. Part of this training material is being done on-line to facilitate reducing the required in-class hours to two sessions instead of the typical 3-4 sessions. The on-line material presented here is an essential part of the overall training and should not be taken lightly. This will not be a short process, so plan accordingly.
First thing you need to do is to print out a copy of the Bridge Training Answer Sheet, which you will use to answer the questions at the end of each lesson module. Bring the completed answer sheet to the first in-class clinic session to receive credit for having completed the on-line modules. A review of these questions and answers will be an integral part of the in-class sessions as well.
Each of the eleven (11) lesson modules has been posted in two formats, i.e. PDF and Power Point, in an attempt to allow everyone the ability to access the files. You may view the lessons using whichever of these formats suits you the best.
If you view the lesson modules in the Power Point format, you can view them either in "Normal", "Slide Sorter" or "Slide Show" mode. For best results view these modules as a "Slide Show". This may take a little more time, but some points are better emphasized in this mode.
What order and how you choose to go thru the material is totally your choice. As you can see there is a boatload of material to be processed, as well as several questions to be answered and brought to the in-class sessions. The on-line modules MUST be completed prior to attending the first in-class clinic session.
On-Line Lesson Modules:
Since you are a Grade 8 USSF referee, then you should be knowledgeable with regard to the 17 Laws of the Game. These lesson modules, for the most part, will not review or recite the basics of what you should already know. Instead the emphasis is on making note of the differences between USSF Laws and NFHS Rules. All the NFHS/OHSAA Rule differences are highlighted in yellow on each slide. These are the important points on which you will need to focus.
Portions of the lesson module presentations are noted as "Common Knowledge", which simply means that the material is basic USSF law information that you already know, and that it is also common to both USSF and NFHS, i.e. no differences.
Other sections in the presentations that are pre-labeled as "Notes" are included as an expanded explanation of the USSF or NFHS Rules.
One favor, please. Your honest, no-holds-barred input and critique on the on-line training modules will be invaluable. Keep track of your pluses and minuses, as you go thru the process, and record the time it takes you to go thru each module (submit this along with your answer sheet at first in-class session).
Any questions or concerns, contact Charlie Keaney at

Cameron Diaz is flaunting her rockin' bod on the August cover of Esquire. In the article, the 41-year-old shows off her legs and opens up about life in her 40s, which she says is amazing so far.
"I like being 41. I love it. So much s*** just falls away. Fear mostly. It's the best age. That's when a woman knows how to work things, or she doesn't care about that anymore. You just don't worry that time registers anything awful."
Clearly the actress is comfortable in her skin now more than ever. Her new feature film Sex Tape comes out July 18, and it's the first role where Diaz took it all off for the cameras.
"It's a first for me. But Jason [Segel, her costar] gets naked too. It's just a part of the role," Diaz said. "So I did it. I mean, you see everything."
Though the actress does love her job, she admits it's a bit of an odd career.
"I found myself [for Sex Tape] in a room in the middle of nowhere Massachusetts at 11 at night doing a childbirth scene, and everybody's screaming at one another — Jason, the cameramen, the director. And me acting like I'm trying to push a basketball out of my vajoon. Crazy s***, right? And the thing is, I always take a moment to say, 'We're lucky. This is a great job. A fun job.'"
Diaz may be going through labor on-screen and loving it, but she's content to not experience it in real life.
"It's so much more work to have children. To have lives besides your own that you are responsible for — I didn't take that on. That did make things easier for me," the actress said.
"I like protecting people, but I was never drawn to being a mother," Diaz admitted.
"I have it much easier than any of them," Diaz continued, referring to moms. "That's just what it is."
She added, "Doesn't mean life isn't sometimes hard. I'm just what I am. I work on what I am. Right now, I think, things are good for me. I've done a lot. And I don't care anymore."

At least 90pc of Kenyans not planning for retirement
Wednesday March 2 2016
More than 90 per cent of Kenyans are not planning sufficiently for retirement and those in pension plans make contributions too low to cover them in their sunset years, financial services firm Alexander Forbes has said.
Alexander Forbes Group chief executive officer Sundeep Raichura said the situation is compounded by analogue management of pension plans dampening customer experience for contributors and claimants.
"We live in a digital world yet the pension industry in this country still operates with procedures full of paper work and the take up for pension products is way below ten per cent .The government needs to create plans that can compel people to save for their retirement otherwise many people are going to sleep walk into their retirement and wake up when it is too late," Mr Raichura said.
Kenyans also change employers many times and each time take away their savings further reducing their take home at retirement.
The trend according to Alexander Forbes leaves many retirees with only 30 per cent of monthly earnings compared to their salaries just before retirement.
The financial service provider unveiled two digital solutions geared at pension management.
The eboard solution for retirement scheme trustees and an enhanced online functionality for members of retirement benefits schemes are part of the firm's new strategy to increase customer experience with all her 250 client expected to be on board.
Forbes said the initiative is expected to boost pension planning and management as well as allow individuals to project their earnings after retirement and plan their saving lifestyles.
The new software is a customized solution for pension funds developed in conjunction with Software Technologies Limited, is an end to end solution designed to help Trustees in corporate governance and in running the affairs of their retirement benefits funds cost effectively.
The eboard will assist trustees to comply with various statutory authorities and reduce the burdens of audits by maintaining all compliance documentation electronically.
Members of pension funds will also access their benefits online and use interactive tools for budgeting, financial and retirement planning as well as insurance needs analysis.
The tools will enable "what if" scenarios to be tested by pension fund members and by enabling better planning which will lead to improved benefit outcomes for members.
"Through our own online platforms, we want to empower retirement fund members to take charge of their financial destinies and also be able to choose and switch between various different investments portfolios", Mr Raichura said.

Get dining news including restaurant closures and qualify for giveaways.
Danny's serves authentic Chinese cuisine speciailizing in BBQ pork and live seafood. Choose from 68 different entrees!
I would think more than 80% of the readers who voted this restaurant to be Richmond's best Chinese Restaurant are NOT Chinese. The main reason is because the one and only time I've been there, the food seemed so "fusion" (the the type of fusion that "Red Door" serves) to me. It's totally westernized Chinese food.
Wontons are supposed to have shrimps in them, but the wontons I had there contained only pork, which is really weird. I tried to order a dish or steamed vegetables, which is available at all wonton houses, the waiter did not know what I wanted to order.
I personally think, if you want more decent westernized Chinese food or wontons, Number 9 at Lansdowne Mall might be a better choice.
I have to agree with the previous posts. Chinese food is everywhere in Richmond. Yet within the Ironwood area, this is the one and only. I suppose that is why they feel that they can charge $2 for a small bowl of plain rice. Most other restaurants (even fine dining) would charge $.50 for a bowl of the same size. Their cost is probably $.05. Their prices are outrageous because they have a monopoly in this area. Sure you can drive another 10 mins to town core and get mindblowing chinese fare, but sometimes you just want to eat and be done. It is a healthier alternative than McDonalds, so they have a nice following. A lunch special is $9.95 which includes 1 bowl of plain rice, a bowl of wonton soup (4 measely pieces of wontons) and a very small plate entree of your choosing. The portions are so small you cannot hope to share (even with a child). So a family of four would spend close to $40 plus tax and tip maybe $50 for lunch. That is an expensive chinese lunch. You can go to any chinese restaurant for lunch for $30 and be satisfied and full with a much bigger variety of food. So my main complaint is the PRICE. The food aint worth the price.
Went to this place after reading in the local paper that it was voted as the best chinese restaurant in richmond. Considering the number of chinese restaurants in richmond(gazillion), i just had to try it since the public feels it's better than a lot of really good ones out there. AS it is called Wun tun rest. i decided to get the wuntun noodle. To my disappointment, there was nothing special about the wuntun... it was actually one of the worst i've had. The soup was alright and the noodle wasn't the best. We also ordered beef brisket soup as they are out of bbq duck (how can you run out of bbq duck with the place specializes in bbq meat?) Didn't taste like good chinese food no wonder i didn't see any chinese people in the place. Not going back again.

Why, in this year of zillion-dollar debt, big deficits, deep domestic spending cuts and Gramm-Rudman, has the Department of State proposed to increase foreign assistance by $1 billion? Secretary of State George Shultz tells us there is no problem, that his budget request is ``fully consistent with the targets on the deficit set out by Gramm-Rudman,`` but it is hard to follow his logic. And it is even harder to understand some of State`s specific aid requests.
Why, for example, does the department want to give nearly three times as much assistance to sub-Saharan Africa (not counting humanitarian food assistance) as to South America? Why does the State Department propose to give $25 million to help Marxist Mozambique, whose government is surrounded by Soviet-bloc troops, in the same year it seeks aid for anticommunist insurgents all over the world?

London's beautiful at the moment, which is why I decided yesterday, that Daniel and I should go on one of our little days out in London this weekend. Well, what better way is there to start the day than with a hearty brunch? I consulted Twitter, and as per usual was very impressed with the recommendations that came my way (a lot were noted down in my Restaurants to Try Wunderlist, so thank you everyone, you don't understand how much I appreciate all your tips for
life restaurants).
I want to try a whole bunch of Brunch places in the near future, and today we made a start with Ozone Coffee Roasters, and oh boy were we happy! It's located near Old Street (so also close to my work, score!) and even though it's a super cool place (they have Aesop soap in the bathroom (just saying), friendly waiters/waitresses, delicious food and beautiful interior, i.e. the pretty perfect mix), we didn't have to wait for a table, which made me very happy before we even sat down! I know it's nice when there's hype, but I'm just not one for queuing for 2 hours and being chased away as soon as you put down your fork (ehem Breakfast Club). Here's some photos.
Let's just get this one of my handsome man out of the way. It wouldn't be a day out for us, if there wasn't some flourishing and many many photos of it involved (I won't post them all, you can see this one as representative).
How cool is this? I don't actually drink coffee (I wish I did, but apparently I'm still not enough of an adult. I only drink it, when I absolutely have to, and then I make a face (which my nan finds HILARIOUS btw).
Look at all these pastries! They were tasty, but I do wish they were more French Boulangerie (I'm a pastry snob, they were good, but you know I just wanted them to be perfect).
Yeah that's right: Perfectly poached eggs (JUST like we make them at home (minus the crying)
That's what it looked like as a whole dish: Eggs Benedict with Mushroom and Spinach (with Bacon instead of the veg for Daniel) on Bubble and Squeak. De-licious.
Little cheeky Croissant for what Daniel calls "Breakfast Dessert" (Yeah it needs to be more of a thing).
Like I said, I can fully recommend this place, we had a lovely morning there. We then headed for a walk around Southbank, followed by a little trip to Chin Chin Labs (it's a Sunday alright?!). It's been a pretty perfect Sunday, I hope yours was similarly nice. I'd love to hear what you've been up to :)

For me, becoming vegetarian has been a slow journey of personal discovery and growth. An obliging carnivore as a child, I favoured meat and potatoes over most other vegetables. In my early twenties, I developed gluten and dairy allergies, and found myself paying closer attention to the food I was putting into my mouth.
With this newfound awareness as my guide, I considered alternatives to the traditions I had been raised on. My passion for yoga held an increasing influence over me both on and off my mat, and I began to feel strongly about following a vegetarian diet. One of the founding principles of yoga is Ahimsa, or non-violence, and eating meat suddenly seemed at odds with the lifestyle I was choosing.
On paper my path seemed clear: teach yoga and embody the yogic principles, ahimsa included. In reality, altering my way of thinking and abandoning my diet was not going to happen overnight. Turkey dinner at Christmas and at Thanksgiving was one of the final carnivorous traditions I held on to, before considering myself vegetarian. I could avoid meat all year it seemed, but on these particular holidays I gave in and celebrated "turkey day" with the rest of my friends and family.
It wasn't until a few years ago that I was finally able to stick to my convictions and enjoy the holidays without eating meat. I started by politely refusing the main dish, instead heaping my plate with sides. Becoming a little more comfortable with my new lifestyle choices, but not quite satisfied by a plate of peas and root vegetables, I began pre-making my own holiday meals.
I perfected a casserole of hearty mushrooms, roasted with fresh herbs and vegan gravy. The mushrooms satisfied my taste for something substantial, and made for a more than adequate replacement for the traditional turkey. Respectfully alerting my host in advance, I brought my little dish with me when I was invited to festive gatherings at the homes of friends and family.
This year I plan to try something new and start my own tradition. I'm calling it A Very Vegan Thanksgiving, and I'm inviting my friends and family to give thanks and celebrate with vegetarian fare. I'll be serving a variety of roasted veggies, steamed greens, mushroom gravy and savory baked tofu, with gorgeous, gluten free, vegan pumpkin pie for dessert.
After we eat, I'll be taking my baby boy to visit our local farm. Seeing the animals up close reminds me why I made the choice to follow a vegetarian diet, and sharing that experience with my son reminds me of the true meaning of the approaching holidays: thankfulness, gratitude and joy.

Plainview ISD sets Exemplary as goal
Published 7:00 pm, Thursday, August 20, 2009
"Change one life and you change the world," was the challenge Elizabeth Breaux, best-selling author and motivational speaker, gave to Plainview ISD employees during the opening ceremony for the 2009-10 school year on Monday.
Breaux is a former classroom teacher who now works in the instructional service department for the Lafayette School System in south Louisiana where she trains and supports new teachers and mentors. She also trains new teacher assessors for the Louisiana Department of Education. She has 24 years of experience working with "at-risk" students, saying there is no more challenging and rewarding job in the world.
Breaux spoke to the district staff on the topic, "How to Reach and Teach All Students." She outlined her eight tips for reaching and teaching all students while avoiding and diffusing power struggles.
"In order to be successful, teachers must start by building relationships and making connections to students," she said. "Let students know that they are really important to you. We (teachers) are carried around in the heart and soul of every child we teach. Make them care. That's your job."
Breaux explained that teachers must take students as they are and lead them to the place where they need to be.
"Teach the students you are given as though they were the ones you would have chosen," she said.
Breaux told the teachers they could eliminate discipline problems by teaching expectations and monitoring their own approach to help avoid power struggles with students.
"The only behaviors I can control are my own," she said.
She encouraged teachers to use real-life experiences in their teaching.
"We must allow ourselves to teach in our classroom as we would in the outside world. Certain things we can only learn by experience."
She added, "We only get better when we are challenged and we rise to meet that challenge."
Breaux concluded by stating that the quality of the teacher is the key to success.
"It is the teacher, not books or programs, who opens the doors to the future of our students."
Breaux also spoke to campus teachers in an afternoon session that focused on maximizing teaching success.
During the opening ceremony, school board President Daniel Rascon addressed the district's staff, stating that, "We have strived and made good improvements.
"You are here because you were chosen to lead. You are the ones who are going to shape the lives of our children. You are a part of the great future of the generation that is coming after us," Rascon said.
He praised the campuses for the improvements seen over the last year and asked that all staff members "get on board" so that improvements continue.
"This board is committed to you. This board wants you to succeed. This board is behind you 100 percent. This board is supportive of you taking discipline to that next level. This board is prepared to do what it takes to make you successful in your job," Rascon said.
Superintendent Dr. Ron Miller thanked the staff for their efforts over the last year.
"I cannot be prouder of your efforts at meeting the educational needs of our students - that's all students," Miller said. "I applaud you for a job well done."
Miller recognized teachers who had been in the district more than 25 years before introducing new teachers and recognizing staff at each campus.
Plainview High Student Council President David Richburg was master of ceremonies. The presentation of colors was given by Navy Jr. ROTC students. Pledges to the flags were led by Mariel Saucedo, student council first vice president.
Prior to the speakers, PHS junior Ray Villareal entertained the staff by singing "If You are Out There" and "Stand."

Why Sete Faces and why nowTue, Dec 22, 2015
The Poema de Sete Faces (Poem of Seven Faces in English) is a poem written by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, a famous and important Brazilian poet from the 20th century.
In this poem the author describes himself under different perspectives - or faces - as a introvert and shy person, who has problems to adapt to the world around him, who simply does not fit. But always pay attention to what happens around him, even being passive all the time.
Well… At least that's how I interpret it :-)
Since child I I kind of identified myself to it. So I was very lucky that the domain setefaces.org was available when I decided to create a web site.
I've had this domain for a couple of years, and there were several tries of keep a website/blog running and updated, but I ended up by giving up in all them.
The main page of this website is a Blog, about weird things which happen between by ears, but I believe also about programming related stuff. Let's see…
It's powered by Hugo, a static web site engine. I decided so after several years strugling to work with wordpress, which became a monster in terms of complexity, so I decided to return to simplicity of a old-style web pages.
Currently this website is hosted on Digital Ocean, using the most basic configuration (5 EUR/mo), and it has worked really well so far. I feel very satisfied, so if you got interested, use this link to acquire their services and give me some credit :-)
As technologies, I am using HTTP/2 as protocol and Docker and Docker Compose to manage things together. The server is a Core OS instance, as it also follows this philosophy of being simple and small.
Well, I guess this is a new start. Please enjoy my website and I hope having more news soon :-)

I See Your Face Before Me Lyrics
Artist: Guy Lombardo
Album: I See Your Face Before Me
I See Your Face Before Me
Frank Sinatra
Written by Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz
This version did not chart but
In 1938, it was a # 12 for Guy Lombardo and a # 13 for Glen Gray
Later found on the soundtrack of the film "The Bridges of Madison County"
I see your face before me, crowding my every dream
There is your face before me, you are my only theme
It doesn't matter where you are, I can see how fair you are
I close my eyes and there you are always
If you could share the magic, yes, if you could see me, too
There would be nothing tragic in all my dreams of you
Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing I want you so
I can't erase your beautiful face before me
Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing I want you so
I can't erase your beautiful face before me
TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Some versions may contain this intro:
In a world of glitter and glow
In a world of tinsel and show
The unreal from the real you lives on to know
I discovered somebody who
Could be truly worthy and true
Yes, I found my ideal thing
When I met you

Chapter 1 : .
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 4
Background: Font color:
My mother, Helga Hufflepuff, does not mind. As I had been pronounced a Ravenclaw by the newly created sorting hat my mother had beamed down at me from her seat at the table and had declared herself the proudest mother she could be to have a daughter clever enough to be chosen as a Ravenclaw. My heart had sank and as I looked down at the house tables I saw Helena's sneering face look in my direction and from that moment on it began.
I have never been accepted but as a true Hufflepuff I keep my head down and do not rise to their taunts. Gwendolyn Hufflepuff, they whispered from their gilded frames, the daughter who betrayed her own mother. They believe it just as the rest of the school believe it. I am not a true Ravenclaw yet neither am I a Hufflepuff.
I have never told her, my mother, about Helena though I am sure that if I ever did she would try her best to fix it because she loved me enough to do that just as she had fixed it when my brother had been challenged to a dual by Godric's son. But I never have told her because Helena is the true daughter of Ravenclaw and I am three years younger than her. I am nothing compared to her.
So I walk through the corridors late at night, ignoring the whispers and trying to stay as far away from the tower and Helena as I could. It is tried and tested, since being put in that house I have been doing the same thing almost every day for five years.
Sometimes I will walk through the grounds and along the boundaries of the forest; sometimes I will go into the forest and walk with the unicorns. Sometimes I will walk the secret passageways that my brother introduced me to when I was only young and sometimes I walk the corridors that no one bothers with, speak with the few ghosts that the castles hold.
One thing is always for certain; I always end up tucked away in a quiet corner of the library until my candle has burnt so low that it is extinguished before I can make it back up to my room. Sometimes I see Helena and sometimes I don't; I live for the nights when I don't.
This night I have chosen the seconds floor as my wandering space and reach a room at the end of the corridor just as the last gaggle of students disappear up the staircase. I often come to this room because it helps me concentrate. It is the room of mirrors.
A room full of gilded mirrors of every style that could be imagined. There are small handheld ones, large ones on the wall and ones with faces already in them. Not many people know it exists; it is one of those rooms in Hogwarts that is lost to the student body unless someone shows it too you. I have never shown it to anyone.
My mother was the one that took me to it when I was first placed in Ravenclaw. She stood me in front of a single mirror that stood alone in the centre of the room. It looked old, older even than the castle and the glass was dirty and a little cracked in the corner. The golden frame was wearing and I wondered why my mother was showing me this one when there were so many others that would give me a clearer picture; that were prettier.
"Gwendolyn," my mother said sweetly, "when you feel lonely or unsure of yourself come to the mirror and take a long hard look, you will find what you are looking for."
I never have.
Now I stand before it and study myself as I have done many times before.
I'm small for my fifteen years and as I am plumper than I should be thanks to my mother's genes my dress is always that little bit too tight around my bust. My skin is pale and full of freckles that no matter how hard I try would not hide the spots that decide to appear every now and again.
My eyes and hair are my true crowning glory, at least which is what my brother and mother keep telling me. Long blonde locks that cascade down my back in golden waves and bright blue eyes just like my mother.
I think I would prefer to have dark hair and dark eyes like Helena.
"Everyone would," Helena's voice laughs from behind me.
My eyes catch a glint of blue in the mirror and I spin to see a smug Helena standing by the door. I must have said it out loud and now Helena has heard me and all I can do is look at her and not say another word.
"Not going to talk to me little puffball?" Helena says walking closer, her blue skirts skimming the floor.
I look away from her, not wanting to say anything that will make her say anything worse and not wanting to look into her perfect face anymore.
"Pity that when you look into the mirror all you see is your fat little face," she says.
"What do you see?" I ask, unable to help myself.
Quickly she pushes me out of the way and stands in front of the mirror herself. She smoothes her rich dress out, pushes back her raven hair and smiles at her reflection.
"What is it that you think I see?" she asks me.
"I don't know," I whisper stepping back further, trying to figure out how I can escape the room without her knowing.
"I see me wearing my mother's diadem," she admits before she turns to me with a sly smile on her face, "shall I tell you a secret little puffball?"
I don't answer but shrink further towards the door hoping she will just let me go.
"You don't want to know?" she says walking towards me, her tall frame towering over my plump body, "well I shall tell you anyway; you need to be put right back in your place. They say little puffball that you are my greatest enemy."
My eyes widen and I shake my head vigorously, "no Helena, of course I am not."
"Gwendolyn," she says shaking her own head, "they say that because you are Helga's daughter not because you are anything special."
She laughs and the small part of me that doesn't want to run away has the urge to hit her across the face so hard that it wipes the smug smile from her face permanently. I of course do not do that. Instead I stand where I am just like I always do and let her insults was over me as if they are water across wings.
Helena turns back towards the mirror and stares in it a little longer, preening her perfect dark locks. They are almost as long as mine but where mine are an abundance of waves that never behave hers change on a daily basis. Today they are poker straight and I am as envious as I have ever been.
"No," she says after a few moments of silence, "no you are nothing special though my mother seems to think I should give you more credit. I won't though, I never shall because I am the true daughter of Ravenclaw house and you are an intruder. You shouldn't even be in this school, everyone says it. Quiet little Gwen who is only seen at the back of class. No, you are not my greatest enemy; I shall have far worst people to come up against."
Helena stops and twists her head to see me close to the door. Quick as a flash she pulls out her wands from the folds of her dress and the door slams shut behind me. Fear spikes in my chest as she crosses the space between us and I am left with my pressed up against the door with nowhere to go.
The wood feels oddly comforting, warm and supple instead of cold and hard like I expected. It makes me wish that my little voice wasn't so little. It makes me wish I could fight back but all my words leave me and I am nothing but the little puffball she so often reminds me that I look like.
"You might want to think about it Puffball…you can't harm me but I can harm you, I can make you the biggest outcast the school has ever seen…"
"You already have," I say unable to stop the words spilling from my mouth.
As I knew she would as soon as I said it Helena slaps me hard across the face and tears prick at the corners of my eyes. I must not cry! Not in front of her.
"I could make life a lot harder for you Gwen, Remember that," Helena says stepping back from me but grabbing my face and surveying her handiwork, "shame you fell and hit your face on a rock wasn't it," she continues tracing a sharp nail along my cheek, the edge cutting into the skin letting small droplets of blood stain my freckles red.
"I am not afraid of you," I say summoning all the courage I own and swelling up in her face.
"Yes you are, don't try and lie to yourself, it is not an attractive trait."
She turns and walks back to the mirror and I briefly wonder if she is so vain that she has to look at her reflection every five seconds and then I realise that she probably is.
"I'm going to steal it," she says causing my ears to prick up and pay attention.
"Steal what?" I ask.
"My mother's diadem. I am going to steal it and runaway from this place."
"You can't," I cry, "your mother…"
Helena spins to face me, "my mother is stifling my talent. It has been a year since I finished this school and still she does not let me teach, still she will not let me see her private book collection. She wants it all to herself! I will steal the diadem and get away from this castle for good."
All my instincts tell me to run. To get away and never see her again. I want to, I want to run so badly. I hate this situation, I hate being around her, I hate the way she attacks me as if I am no better than a dog yet I never do anything about it. My mother would say confront her, tell her what she is doing to me but I know I never will. I am simply not that person. I am simply not that strong.
"Of course if you tell anyone I shall have to erase your memory, so I know you won't do anything of the sort," she says smiling at me sweetly as if I am her best friend and she has just told me that she likes a boy from Slytherin house.
I want to ask her what made her so sure but I know what makes her so sure. I am weak and I will never go up against her. I will never challenge her though I am probably stronger than her.
The door is still locked and so I cannot escape. Helena has trapped me in her web and there is nothing I can do. She might see me as nothing but to me she is my greatest enemy and she will be until she leaves.
Maybe I should just let her steal the diadem?
No! No I cannot let her steal it, I have to do something, stop her; persuade her. I step closer to Helena, so close that I can see my reflection in the mirror. She of course has turned back once again and is looking at herself as if she is the most beautiful person on the earth.
"You know Gwen," she says, her voice sending chills down my spine, "this mirror is meant to show your heart's desire."
"Is it?" I ask surprised.
"Wow you really are stupid," she says pointing to the engraving on the top of the mirror.
I read it carefully and it takes me a little while but I finally get it.
"I show not your face but your heart's desire," I whisper.
Helena looks a little taken aback and a little pride seeps into me. She must have spent hours over it, trying to figure it out. Who is the true Ravenclaw now?
Helena grabs me hard on the arm and drags me in front of the mirror.
"Let's play a little game," she laughs, "I'll let you out if you tell me what you see."
I look up at her and then back to my reflection.
"I don't see anything," I say honestly.
"Nothing? You are lying, tell me the truth!"
"I just see me standing alone."
Helena grabs me a shoves me out of the way putting herself in front of the mirror.
"How is it you do not see anything!"
"Please Helena, I have told you, just please can I go now," my voice shakes as I look at her.
All I want is to curl up in bed and be away from here. I just want this to end so I can box it up like all our other confrontations and place it in the dark place in the back of my mind. I just want to get out!
"Not until you tell me what you see!" she shrieks and I cower away from her cursing myself for not being brave enough to stand up to her and thinking that it was a good thing I was not placed in Gryffindor.
"I don't see anything Helena, please just let me go."
She walks towards me until I am pressed up against another mirror. The glass is cold on my neck but my main concern is the wand that she points at me that slowly starts to tear up the bottom of my dress.
"Your mummy won't like it if you ruin your dress Puffball," she says as one swipe cuts into my skin and blood starts to drip down my leg.
"I just want you to let me go, please Helena, I won't tell anyone, just let me go."
Fear has gripped me as her eyes flash dark and another swipe of her wand cuts into my other leg. The stinging brings tears to my eyes and I cannot help but let them fall.
"You think you are so clever don't you but you're not, no one is cleverer than me."
Anger grips my chest as her words ring false in my ears. I am cleverer than her, I beat her in every class we take, I learn the spells quicker, I cast the spells stronger. I am better than she will ever be.
"I am clever than you," I say pushing her out of the way and grabbing my wand from the folds of my dress, pointing it straight at her head.
Helena backs away and narrows her eyes.
"Ooh look, puffball has got some confidence in her."
"I am cleverer than you Helena, I deserve to be in Ravenclaw more than you ever will."
I want to run and not look back but I am stuck with my wand pointing at Helena's face as if something had taken over me. She looks a little scared.
"I won't tell anyone about the diadem if you leave Helena, I could always transfigure you into a diadem if you want… you know I could do it."
Slowly Helena's eyes widen as she realises I am not playing games and she backs away, flicking her wand to unlock the door as she does. She is in its arch when a cruel smile appears on the edge of her lips.
"You may think you have one over on me Puffball but you are sorely mistaken. I will come back cleverer and more powerful than you could ever imagine. You just wait."
And with that she spins on her heel a leaves me alone in the room. I fall to the floor shocked at myself and a little proud. I Gwendolyn Hufflepuff have actually confronted my enemy and won. I am the true child of the founders and she is nothing anymore.
I walk from the room a few moments later with my heart swelling. Helena is a coward and I have just faced her. I never thought I would but I have and now. Now I am strong and I finally realise why she was so mad when I told her what I saw in the mirror.
I am happy the way I am, I do not desire anything and that is something that Helena Ravenclaw will never understand.

Discussion in 'Drum & Bass' started by DeeGun, Mar 18, 2011.
Solid tune I think.
It's a nice tune but i prefer some of his harder stuff 2bh
Not bad but quite average. I'd say his best recent tracks are "Step up" and "Rise up". And he could change the snare sound for another one, it's not anything that is essential, but a detail that is becoming a bit annoying tbh.
don't like that at all tbh. doesn't even sound like majistrate
prefer his harder stuff like piranha, it, bug crusher, and the 2 tunes coming out the beast inside and something else which are immense
edit, there you go 'The Game / The Beast Within'
now those are heavy as fuck.
Same beat he always uses, and that synth has been rinsed to death...
Must've taken him about 20 minutes to make that.
i RATE maji HIGHLY! but this isnt great
i seen on his facebnook status the other day that he wants to switch things up abit, and this is obv what he has done,
its more a liquid vibe, so should really change his snare to a more mellow kinda ting!
His devlin remix is he best of his i have heard for a while, i posted it on here a few weeks back if u wana search it, he put it up for free download
I agree with that he didn´t spend much time on this but I like this more than most of his jump up tunes..but yeah, still pretty average.

Hamilton County Schools will benefit from an additional $1 million in revenue that wasn't expected.
At a meeting tonight, board of education members are discussing their 2013 budget, which is projected to total more than $383 million.
New projections released today show an extra $500,000 in sales tax revenue and an extra $800,000 from the state's Basic Education Program.
The extra cash could help the board partially restore capital funding cuts and reduce the amount of personnel that would have to be cut to balance the budget.
For complete details, read tomorrow's Times Free Press.

Joint pain can occur at any time throughout the year, but many individuals report that their symptoms worsen significantly during the winter months. In a Facebook survey conducted by The Weather Channel, 42 percent of respondents blamed cold weather as the number one trigger for aching knees and hips. What is it about frigid temperatures that exacerbate joint pain?
Scientific evidence has not been able to clearly identify the connection between sore joints and winter weather. Some studies have found that changes in barometric pressure can trigger knee pain in arthritis patients and cooler temperatures may affect the thickness of joint fluid. Evidence also shows that cold, damp days are linked to greater discomfort from arthritis. However, other studies have failed to uncover any connection between joint pain and the weather (Source: The Weather Channel).
Whether or not scientific evidence supports your winter symptoms, you can still take steps to prevent your joint pain from worsening when the temperatures begin to drop. Here's what you can do to preserve your joints during the cold winter months:
Bundle up
Dress in layers and wear thick gloves or socks to keep your joints warm at all times. Muscles that are cold will tighten and may put painful pressure on joints.
Stay active
One reason arthritis tends to flare up in the winter is because people change their exercise routines. Find ways to stay physically active indoors to keep joints from becoming stiff and painful. Regular exercise will also prevent winter weight gain which can contribute to sore joints.
Eat Healthy
Center your diet around vitamin-rich foods that will build healthy joints. Salmon, mackerel, walnuts and chia seeds are excellent sources of Omega-3 fatty acids to prevent joint inflammation. Foods high in vitamin C, such as oranges, kale and red peppers, help to form collagen and support connective tissue in the joints.
Take vitamin D supplements
Staying indoors during the winter can affect our vitamin D levels and may influence arthritis pain. If it's too cold to spend time outdoors, talk to your doctor about adding a daily supplement (Source: Everyday Health).
You may not have control over the weather, but you can take preventative measures to control how the weather affects your joints. Do your best to stay warm, eat a healthy diet and adhere to an exercise routine throughout the winter months and keep joint pain under control. Managing your winter symptoms will allow you to enjoy life and stay active all year long.

Ex-politician Heffernan is arrested for a fourth time
Former Senator James Heffernan was arrested again last weekend and charged with a public-order offence.
This incident comes weeks after Mr Heffernan was arrested three times over the course of a single weekend while attending a music festival in Cork.
He was arrested in the early hours of last Saturday in Galway following an incident outside a popular music venue.
The Limerick politician, who ran for the Social Democrats in the last General Election, was charged at a special sitting of the Galway District Court on the same day.
He is due back in court on December 19. Mr Heffernan is understood to have been with his band in the Róisín Dubh venue before the incident which resulted in his arrest.
Sources close to the former Senator said he was examined by a doctor following his release due to injuries that he sustained from the incident.

The Columbine Project
Dan Bacalzo • New York City • Aug 9, 2009
The piece is derived from public testimony, journal entries from victims and survivors, and other information that Storiale was able to obtain about the tragedy. This has allowed for some interesting perspectives to be included that the majority of audience members may not already know. One such is the story of Brooks Brown (Evan Enslow), who was a friend of killers Eric Harris (Artie Ahr) and Dylan Klebold (Justin Mortelliti), and was persecuted for his association with them in the wake of the shootings.
The strongest elements in the show are monologues presumably derived from primary sources, while the weaker aspects of the script are the dialogue scenes the playwright has imagined, many of which are entirely unnecessary. For instance, a scene between Columbine students Chris (Bradley Michael) and Rachel (Rya Meyers) at the top of the second act just repeats what's already been revealed in a more effective speech that Chris delivers in the first act.
Perhaps if the show had higher standards in both physical production and performance, some of these scenes would play better. But watching students hiding under tables during a reenactment of the shooting is cringe-inducing for all the wrong reasons; the dialogue is atrocious and the actors leaden. As the two murderers, Ahr and Mortelliti each have a few effective moments but they sometimes seem to be commenting upon their roles rather than inhabiting them. Interestingly, the script has allowed some sympathy for Dylan, who just seems misunderstood and manipulated, but completely demonizes Eric.
While the play touches upon possible motivating factors that led up to the killings -- including bullying from high school jocks and the duo's propensity for violent games -- it has a tendency to present its issues both simplistically and sentimentally. Nowhere is this more egregious than the closing scene, in which Storiale has the one gay character in the show sing an acoustic version of "Over the Rainbow" as various cast members stand over the bodies of the fallen. The memories of the Columbine victims deserve better than this mawkish display.

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
This fight has grown nastier, more personal, in the past weeks. Privately, management insists that everything changed when the Boston Celtics' Kevin Garnett(notes) walked into the negotiating room on Oct. 4. The owners knew it wouldn't go well when Garnett started glowering across the table, sources said, like the league lawyers, owners and officials were opponents at the center jump. He was defiant, determined and downright ornery. He was K.G. Everyone knew Hunter had to cede to the wishes of the stars, and the stars demanded that the players stop making concessions to the owners.
As one league official said, "We were making progress, until Garnett [expletive] everything up."
Yahoo: NBA winning public fight with players
Hold on… let me add some emphasis here so we can properly interpret this.
As one LEAGUE OFFICIAL said, "WE were making progress until Garnett [expletive] everything up."
According to reports, KG's "[expletive]'ing" was an insistence that the players not dip below 53%. Which, after having given up 4% of their salary, is understandable from a union standpoint.
And maybe KG is the union's version of Phoenix owner Rob Sarver. Maybe it's about time the union had someone on that side to take a hard-line stance. The NBA started these negotiations making a ridiculous offers, then backed off them and called it "concessions." Meanwhile, the Union did no such thing. Its not like they said "we want 65% now" and then started giving back from there.
Imagine I bumped into you and I said "Ok, I'm going to beat you to death. What's your counter offer?"…. and we negotiate it down to me punching you in the face. In the end, you get punched in the face and my "concession" is not killing you.
That's kind of what the NBA is doing right now. Except they still want to sneak in the "killing" part. KG, who has no stake in this at all anymore, is fighting to prevent that. In fact, KG is supposed to make more than $20 million this year, so maintaining this stance means he's losing the last big year of his contract. He's not getting that $20 million back. And no matter how much he's made, that's still a lot of money.
I wonder what would happen if KG was in there for every negotiation. I wonder if he's literally scare the shit out of Sarver or Dan Gilbert. I wonder if we'd be any closer to a deal if the NBA had been forced to move more off its ridiculous stances.
They're meeting today. Here's hoping KG crashes the party.

TORONTO, Feb. 23, 2016 /CNW/ - In a landmark announcement, the Cornerstone Standard's Council (CSC) officially recognized CRH Canada's Dufferin Aggregates Acton Quarry as the first quarry in the world to receive certification as a supplier of responsibly sourced stone, sand and gravel.
"CRH Canada and Dufferin Aggregates are extremely proud that our Acton Quarry has been officially recognized as the world's first certified aggregate site, and hope that this achievement will be a catalyst for the industry. This certification is a testament to our commitment to address the demand for aggregates that consider community and environmental needs. Now any purchaser of aggregates, be it the public or the private sector, will have the confidence in knowing that they are buying responsibly sourced building materials," said Baudouin Nizet, President & CEO, CRH Canada Group Inc.
In January 2015, CSC released its Responsible Aggregates Standard, providing the parameters by which an aggregate quarry could achieve certification in Ontario. CRH Canada and Dufferin Aggregates have a long-standing and well established commitment to the communities in which they operate and to being stewards of the natural environment. To be officially certified and recognized for these efforts and to have product labeled as CSC certified is an important opportunity for the company.
"This certificate speaks to the relationship between CRH Canada and the Town of Halton Hills," said Rick Bonnette, Mayor of Halton Hills. "By following CSC's Standards and working proactively to address environmental and social impacts the Acton Quarry has been able to incorporate sustainability principles into its ongoing operations and after use. This has been a key component of the recent approval for expansion of the quarry."
"Aggregates, such as cement, are the building blocks of our roads and buildings. But there is a tension between our need for these products, the views of communities adjacent to these operations, and the need to protect farmland and the environment. For the first time, a pathway exists for those building blocks to be sustainably sourced," says Tim Gray, Executive Director of Environmental Defence. "CSC certification can improve industry practices, reduce conflict and generate a market for sustainable products. CRH Canada should be congratulated for being the first operation to certify and for forging a new path that other aggregate operations can follow."
About CRH Canada Group Inc.
CRH Canada Group Inc. is a leading manufacturer of cement, aggregates and ready-mix concrete and provides construction services to many of Canada's largest infrastructure projects. With over 3,000 employees, CRH Canada has a portfolio of brands including Dufferin in Ontario and Demix in Quebec.

Gasoline Futures Fall as Inventories Are Expected to Increase
Gasoline fell for a second day on speculation that U.S. fuel supplies are increasing. Crack spreads narrowed.
Futures dropped as much as 2.2 percent. An Energy Information Administration report tomorrow may show gasoline stockpiles probably rose 500,000 barrels, or 0.2 percent, to 219.3 million, based on the median of 10 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Six respondents projected a gain and four forecast a drop.
"The market could see pressure from improving gasoline supplies as refiners turn this near-record amount of crude oil inventory into increasing amounts of products," Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates LLC in Houston, said in a phone interview.
Gasoline for July delivery fell 5.5 cents, or 1.9 percent, to $2.7931 a gallon at 10:14a.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Trading volume was 10 percent above the 100-day average.
July gasoline's crack spread versus West Texas Intermediate slipped 95 cents to $22.90 a barrel. Gasoline's premium over Brent declined 40 cents to $15.27.
Ultra-low-sulfur diesel for July delivery fell 4.24 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $2.8414 a gallon. Trading volume was 15 percent below the 100-day average.
The July ULSD contract's crack spread versus WTI narrowed 40 cents to $24.95 a barrel, while the premium over Brent widened 11 cents to $17.28.
Gasoline at the pump, averaged nationwide, fell 0.2 cent to $3.633 a gallon, Heathrow, Florida-based AAA, the nation's largest motoring organization, said today on its website. Prices are 9.3 cents above a year earlier.

ELIZABETH JACKSON: Police ministers around the country will meet next week to work out how to outlaw synthetic drugs.
A fortnight ago Sydney teenager Henry Kwan fell to his death from a balcony after allegedly ingesting a substance and having a psychotic episode. Since then, several states have brought in temporary bans on certain synthetic substances.
The ABC's Background Briefing program has been contacted by one domestic supplier who has already resumed trade and a former manufacturer of synthetic drugs has told the program just how easy they are to assemble.
Sarah Dingle reports.
SARAH DINGLE: Also known as legal highs, synthetic drugs were sold in Australian retail outlets from adult stores to video shops.
A former manufacturer, Sydney resident Ben, says it was easy enough to make them and the profit margin was huge.
BEN: I could buy 100 grams of the active product for around $300.
SARAH DINGLE: More than a decade ago, as an 18 year old, Ben started buying a synthetic drug from a local shop.
BEN: It used to sell out all the time and I got a bit sick of that and went online to see what was in it.
I just made my own lines. That one had, not entirely accurate but it was found or a chemical like it in Piper nigrum, also known as pepper tree, and that was the whole pretext behind it.
SARAH DINGLE: What was the margin that you were making on pepper tree that you were selling?
BEN: It went up as high as 2,000 per cent. I was retailing them for $20.
SARAH DINGLE: And what kind of effect did it have on you?
BEN: It was a stimulant. It was very amphetamine-like and it was a pretty good replica of an MDMA (methylenedioxy-methamphetamine) experience.
SARAH DINGLE: But Ben's business eventually broke down.
BEN: Let's just say you've got to stick to the old rule of don't get high on your own supply.
SARAH DINGLE: Since then Ben's travelled a rough road, becoming addicted to opiates and ending up in rehab.
(Question to Ben) What would you say to people who say that because you have sold synthetic drugs in the past you're part of the problem?
BEN: Yeah, I can accept that. It's something that I've definitely lost sleep over before and reasons why I, you know, have not done it in quite a while.
SARAH DINGLE: No-one but the maker knows exactly what's in synthetic drugs.
The number one item on the new state and federal ban lists is a powder called White Revolver.
Days before the ban, Background Briefing bought some White Revolver over the counter from an adult shop in Darlinghurst, Sydney.
With Ben's help, we tested it using an over the counter tester kit commonly used by consumers of illicit substances on drugs like ecstasy.
BEN: If it turns purple it indicates the presence of MDMA, if it goes red to purple that's MDA.
SARAH DINGLE: Okay, let's give it a go.
Ben's just tipped out a very small amount onto a flat surface.
BEN: As you can see there's quite a strong reaction there which is kind of dissipating quick. But you saw that.
And we're left with some pretty dark purply stuff in there so it's definitely of the cathinone family, something I guess what's known in the media as meow meow.
It's very chemically related to MDMA. It's a stimulant drug, 100 per cent.
SARAH DINGLE: Professor of clinical toxicology at the Calvary Mater Hospital, Ian Whyte says if these kits are accurate, generally they only indicate the presence of a substance, not its concentration.
IAN WHYTE: With a change in supplier for example you may be getting the same thing but there's five times as much in there as you got from the last one. So you'll five times the effect from the same dose and get yourself into trouble when previously it was perfectly okay.
SARAH DINGLE: Background Briefing has been contacted by one New South Wales supplier of synthetic drugs who's already resumed business online less than a fortnight after the bans.
White Revolver was still being advertised for sale this week from online traders apparently within Australia.
ELIZABETH JACKSON: And you can hear Sarah Dingle's full report on Background Briefing this Sunday on Radio National.
The full story...
Synthetic drugs easy to make: manufacturer
Sarah Dingle reported this story on Friday, June 28, 2013 08:25:00

|Reviews for Silly Vacationspanish and english
| disabled account chapter 1 . 3/3/2007
This literally caused me to make a convulsive "HA!" while I was sitting at my computer. I'm the sort of person who WILL laugh at a joke because of its sheer stupidity or illogic so I suppose this worked quite well for me. I commend your arbitrariness for posting this little tidbit on fictionpress - it provides an outlet for all of us who are learning Spanish in class, and enjoy it. Plus, I learned a couple of new words. :) However, I agree with the other reviewer that "Every day I fell out of the tree" definitely needs to be changed to the imperfect tense (which typically follows such phrases as "todos los dias"). Which reminds me - "las dias" should be "los dias." Adios - Kat.
| antigonelives chapter 1 . 3/2/2007
Not bad and imaginative, but, in some places, you need to use the imperfect tense instead of the preterite (if you did an action for an extended period of time in the past, like you fell out of the tree every day or it was ongoing).
