Five regions including the Cayman Islands hit their individual stables for the Caribbean Equestrian Association (CEA) 4th Annual Regional Jumping Challenge.
The challenge featured equestrians from Cayman, Bermuda, Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago building and jumping it's own course at three heights (0.7 meters, 0.85 meters and 1.0 meter) based on CEA specifications.
"It allows them to compete against their neighbours in the Caribbean without the expense," said Cayman Islands Equestrian Federation President Eve van den Bol. "It's a great way to bring our Caribbean neighbours together and support one another as a training exercise."
11-year old Olivia Ziemniak clocked the fastest round of the day with two clear runs on the 0.7 meter course riding Amarilla. Fellow junior Megan Swartz also impressed with double clear rounds on Zeus at the .85 meter level. Senior Gina Lomas topped the 1.0 meter course on Sunday's Edition.
"I'm really enjoying riding him," said Lomas. "He's challenging but I feel like I am getting the best of out him. Our second round, I was so happy, we had a clear within the time. He was the most rideable he's ever been."
Total faults and times are added together to form each nation's total score. Final results and ranking for all equestrians in competition are slated to be completed in December.
The Cayman Islands Equestrian Federation will host it's first National Dressage Show of the season Sunday 3rd February at the Equestrian Center starting at 8:00 am.

On Feb. 1, the Bush administration's broad expansion of its surveillance powers in the hastily-passed Protect America Act are set to expire. Facing a confrontation in the Senate over the inclusion of retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has said he "is likely to push for a one-month extension of the existing law to give Congress and the White House time to work out a compromise."
But the White House is balking at Reid's approach, stoking fears of a terrorist attack if it does not get everything they want on a permanent basis. Spokesman Tony Fratto told Congressional Quarterly yesterday that without the immediate passage of legislation, "terrorists" will soon "be free to make phone calls without fear of being surveilled":
"We're exactly three weeks away," he said, "from the date when terrorists can be free to make phone calls without fear of being surveilled by U.S. intelligence agencies".
Fratto's contention is flat-out misleading. As CQ's Keith Perine notes, "intelligence agents would not be instantly hobbled if the law were to expire Feb. 1." In fact, surveillance authorizations would still "remain in effect until a year after they were issued":
The existing law allows the National Intelligence director and the attorney general to authorize surveillance aimed at people outside the United States — even if they are communicating with people inside the country — for up to one year, subject to some conditions.
Even after Feb. 1, any such surveillance authorizations would remain in effect until a year after they were issued.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT), who favors denying retroactive immunity, says the White House is creating a "false choice" by claiming that "if you want to give all the power to the president, you're in favor of America" and if not, you're "in favor of the terrorists."
UPDATE: In a statement, People for the American Way say Fratto's claim is "a bold-faced lie."

For humans, greed is a strong and universal beast to deal with.
The United States has the most respected, transparent, and trusted business regulations in the world. That is what makes our markets and our businesses safe havens for us, and for the rest of the world.
In these times of shifting strengths and weaknesses, we need to hold on to that. I don't invest in Chinese, Indian, or South American businesses, although it is tempting because they are growing fast, but I don't trust them because their governments don't require them to be as honest as our government requires our businesses to be.
We are having enough troubles in the USA these days. Please don't knock that strength out from under us.

Trading standards
In the guide
Large retailers are required to charge for most new single-use carrier bags they supply
This guidance is for England
Under the Single Use Carrier Bags Charges (England) Order 2015 all large retailers are required to charge a minimum of 5p for every new single-use carrier bag they supply (exemptions apply).
The Order only applies to goods sold (and put into bags) in England. All large retailers that supply new single-use carrier bags at a place in England in order to allow goods sold to be taken away, and any retailer that supplies single-use carrier bags in England with the purpose of enabling goods sold to be delivered to any person in England, are subject to this Order.
The rationale behind the charge is to try and substantially reduce the amount of single-use carrier bags being supplied, used and thrown away in England. All bags use energy and create emissions to produce. Plastic bags can take hundreds of years to decompose and discarded bags result in unsightly litter, which can be harmful to animals and the environment.
It is hoped that small changes to customer habits will promote sustainability and that the money collected by retailers as a result of the minimum charge will be passed on to good causes in England, which will in turn benefit the local community and the environment.
It should be noted that similar charges exist in other parts of the United Kingdom but the legislation differs slightly between countries. Retailers that supply goods in single-use carrier bags to other parts of the UK should familiarise themselves with the applicable regional legislation to avoid non-compliance.
Single-use carrier bag: definition
All types of new single-use carrier bag made of lightweight plastic material (less than 70 microns), with handles, must be subject to a minimum charge of 5p (including VAT) when supplied new for the first time to carry goods, as described above.
Failing to charge for single-use carrier bags in accordance with the Order without reasonable cause may constitute a breach of this Order.
Retailers can choose to charge more than 5p per bag; this is the minimum charge. It is a commercial decision for the retailer whether or not they wish to charge for bags that would otherwise be exempt from the minimum charge, if they do charge it must be 5p or more.
Customers should be aware that they are under no obligation to buy bags from the retailer; they can of course bring their own bags to reuse or decline bags for delivery.
Unlike in other parts of the UK, this Order only relates to sellers that have 250 contracted employees at the start of the reporting year. This figure is based on the number of full-time equivalent employees a seller has, calculated as follows: TH/37.5 where TH is the total number of hours per week for which all the employees of the business are contracted to work.
Businesses that have fewer than 250 contracted employees at the start of the reporting year are exempt from the requirements to charge for bags in England, although charges may be required if new single-use carrier bags are used to deliver goods into other parts of the UK.
Businesses that are exempt from the Order due to the number of FTE employees they have may still charge for single-use carrier bags voluntarily.
The supply of certain single-use carrier bags are exempt from the minimum charge; see details of these exemptions below:
- unwrapped food bag. A bag intended to be used solely to contain wholly or partly unwrapped food for human or animal consumption
- unwrapped loose seeds bag. A bag intended to be used solely to contain wholly or partly unwrapped loose seeds, bulbs, corns, rhizomes, flowers or goods contaminated by soil
- unwrapped blades bag. A bag intended to be used solely to contain wholly or partly unwrapped axes, knives, knife blades or razor blades
- prescription-only medicine bag. A bag intended to be used solely to contain a prescription-only medicine, a pharmacy medicine or a listed appliance sold in accordance with a prescription
- uncooked meat food bag. A bag intended to be used solely to contain uncooked fish or fish products, meat or meat products or poultry or poultry products
- live aquatic creatures bag. A bag intended to be used solely to contain live aquatic creatures in water
- returnable multiple reuse bag (often called a 'bag for life'). A bag that all of the following apply to:
- sold for 5p or more
- intended to be returnable to the seller from which it was purchased to be replaced free of charge
- made from material with a thickness of between 50 and 70 microns
- has a width and height both greater than 404 mm, and either the width or the height greater than 439 mm (disregarding the width of any gussets, or the height of any handles extending above the main body of the bag)
- woven plastic bag. A bag constructed from material that is made by interlacing long threads passing in one direction with others at a right angle to them
- transit goods bag. A bag that is intended to be used to carry goods in a 'transit place' - for example, on board a ship, train, aircraft, coach or bus
- single-use carrier bags that would otherwise be subject to the minimum charge but have been re-used.
Record keeping
Sellers are required to keep accurate records of the number of single-use carrier bags that they supply in each reporting year (the reporting year runs from 7 April to 6 April the following year).
These records must include:
- the number of single-use carrier bags supplied during the reporting year
- the gross (total) proceeds of the charge; this figure is on the basis of the 5p minimum charge and is calculated at 5p multiplied by the number of chargeable bags supplied
- the amount of any VAT received by way of the gross proceeds of the charge
- the amount of any reasonable costs
- the apportionment between any different kinds of reasonable costs
- the net (final amount after deductions) proceeds of the charge. This represents the final amount left after the seller has deducted their 'reasonable costs' of complying with the legislation and any VAT
- the uses to which the net proceeds have been put; it is expected that all proceeds will be donated to good causes
'Reasonable costs' include costs reasonably incurred by the seller to comply with this legislation and to communicate information about the charge to customers and might include obtaining legal advice, staff training and providing customer notices about the charge as examples.
The seller must keep the aforementioned records for a period of three years beginning 31 May in the reporting year following that to which the record relates and must supply a copy to the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State will in turn publish these records. The records must be submitted electronically via the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' dedicated Carrier Bags Charge Reporting Portal.
Sellers must make their records available during the three-year period and they can be requested in writing by any person; written requests must be satisfied within 28 days of receipt.
Officers from the local authority are given powers under the Order to ascertain whether the requirements are being complied with and to take steps to investigate if they reasonably believe that a failure to comply has occurred.
A breach of the Order occurs if without reasonable cause the seller fails to:
- charge for a single-use plastic bag (other than exempt bags)
- fails to keep the required records relating to the charge
- supply the aforementioned records
A breach will also occur if the seller gives false or misleading information to, or otherwise obstructs or fails to assist, an administrator exercising its functions under this Order (the 'administrator' is defined as the local authority).
If an administrator is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that a breach has occurred, they may issue a civil sanction, including a fixed monetary penalty of £200 for failing to charge for a single-use carrier bag, or £100 for failing to keep or supply records.
Administrators may also impose variable monetary penalties where the maximum amounts are extended to £5,000 for the first three aforementioned breaches and £20,000 for giving false or misleading information, or otherwise obstructing or failing to assist an administrator.
They may also impose discretionary non-monetary penalties with steps the seller must take to ensure compliance, and non-compliance penalties if the latter is not complied with.
The administrator must serve a notice of intent to apply a penalty on the seller, and the seller then has 28 days from the date of that notice being issued to raise any representations or objections. If after these 28 days the administrator still wishes to apply the monetary penalty payment will be due and a final notice must be issued on the seller. Payment must be received within 56 days but the seller may appeal the decision.
Liability for the breach can be discharged by paying a specified sum within this 28-day period after the notice of intent has been issued.

Flickr photo by rutloI didn't feel like a mother my first Mother's Day.
I felt like a weeble, and when I wobbled, I not only fell down, but I couldn't get back up. Ah, such is the life of a pregnant woman.
My due date was less than a month after Mother's Day in 2005, but I was unsure -- do I get to celebrate?
It turns out I'm not the only one who wonders if it's appropriate. In a poll on LilSugar back in 2008, 21% of the moms responding said you have to wait until after the baby's born.
But why? You're doing all the hard work of growing a baby, why shouldn't you get a spa day (I'm thinking pregnancy massage) and a bouquet with a scent that doesn't make you run for the toilet?
Now for the big confession -- my placenta brain is in full effect. I can't remember if we celebrated Mother's Day that year. And neither can my husband!
So apparently I didn't get any fancy jewelry or anything particularly atrocious either.
Will you be celebrating your first Mother's Day this year?

Bathrooms, transcending their regular purpose are more than just the room where you would want to take a shower; it is where your taste and your identity are being tested these days. Everything that a bathroom might contain will reflect who you truly are and your essence, because of how intimately one would use this particular room. This exactly the reason why we would require more than just that shower screen which is durable or which one can simply make use of. We need panache, we need a style and we need something which screams of sophistication.
Screens of elegance
Shower screens are no longer the barrier which prevents the bathroom floor from getting drenched with the water that your shower head might produce. These have become a statement in itself and thus, the hunt for such screens is more of an arduous task. To one's relief, there is a custom made shower screens available at multiple stores, all of which will help you express yourself a little more to those who might be using these screens. There are various kinds of such screens, for instance, there are the framed, the semi-framed and the frameless ones which are basic designs available on the market.
Tailor made showers just for you
Get rid of the hideous shower curtain, which does little to save your floors from getting wet and install the custom made shower screens in Perth, tailor-made just according to your liking. As we have already mentioned, about the basic kinds of screens available in the market, one can also opt for the pivot doors, the hinged ones or even the sliding door ones. The best thing about these screens is that they all, epitomizes elegance in its true form, and indeed prevents any seepage of water onto the floor. This way, the screen gets to serve both its purpose of keeping the bathroom dry and on making it look gorgeous.
The screens are used to make the bathroom look larger than what it is. Since the shower curtains are never truly transparent, it obstructs the view and makes the room look smaller than what it already is. With glass doors, fitted from wall-to-wall or whatever that suits your liking; the room appears to have gained some space in the most artistic manner. The best thing to do is to first contact the company from which you would like your bathroom to enclose and they will be able to help you with your dilemma, as to the kind of screen you would like to set up. It is the professional's duty to guide you through the process and help you with something which is perfectly suited for you.
