Tips on Regular Trimming and Shoeing
- Jun 1, 2001
- Topics:
At one point in my life, I decided to learn about farriery. I enrolled in an intensive 10-day short- course. During the day, we would fashion shoes, trim horses, and when the instructor thought we were ready, attach the shoes to an equine foot.
Each evening was devoted to classroom sessions. We discussed, debated, and learned. One evening the debate was on the proper time to first trim the feet of a young foal. A variety of opinions were expressed. I really didn t know the answer and had little to offer.
Finally, the instructor turned to me. "When do you think a foal should be trimmed for the first time?" he asked.
At loss for a definitive answer, I blurted out, "Whenever the foal needs it."
He smiled and nodded. The debate was over, and I was the temporary classroom hero. As time has gone on, I realized that the answer that popped off the tip of my tongue makes continuing sense not just with foals, but all horses under our care.
Unfortunately, this isn't always the case with horse owners. It has been my experience, during a lifetime of involvement with horses, that the most neglected aspect of equine care generally involves the feet.
I m not sure why this is true. Perhaps one reason is that it is so easy to put off. After all, you do have to call the farrier and make an appointment. Then, you have to catch the horses and be there to handle them when the farrier arrives.
The sad part for both horse and owner is that neglect can quickly negate the horse's usefulness and even cause it to be in severe pain, something that is inhumane to say the least.
Perhaps another reason for widespread hoof neglect is lack of knowledge about how rapidly the hoof grows. While the rate of growth varies from animal to animal, the average rate of growth for all horses is in the range of 0.25-0.35 inches per month. However, not knowing this is hardly a justification when a glance at long hooves ought to be reminder enough. It is true that wild horses do not receive farrier care and many of them have sturdy, durable hooves. However, we must remember that there has been an ongoing selection process based on survival of the fittest. Wild horses with poor hooves often become a meal for predators. Then, too, these wild horses often inhabit country that is dry, where they travel over hard ground surfaces that serve to wear down hooves to an appropriate level.
We changed all that when we domesticated the horse. Putting it in a lush pasture of grass might keep the horse sleek and fat, but it will do little to wear down hooves. The same is true of horses which spend much of their time in a box stall or soft-surface paddock. Although I will always maintain that a horse should have its feet trimmed or shod when it is needed, there are some general guidelines that can help one stay on track with a proper foot care program.
Generally speaking, the average horse used for trail and pleasure riding should have its feet trimmed or reshod every six to eight weeks. That being said, it is immediately obvious that the use of the horse as well as the time of year will have a bearing on how often it is trimmed and reshod.
For one thing, a horse's hooves grow faster during the summer months than they do during cold winter weather. Unfortunately, many owners carry this knowledge to the extreme. They pull the shoes in the fall, turn the horse out to winter pasture, and put hoof care on the shelf until the following spring when another riding season rolls around.
In the meantime, the horse's hooves continue to grow, albeit at a slower rate. If the horse is on hard, flinty ground, some of that growth might wear off. If the horse is on soft ground, however, the hooves will grow unchecked. The longer they get, the more apt they are to break and crack. The owner might catch the horse in the spring and find that he is virtually unusable because there is a hoof crack that reaches all the way to the sensitive coronary band, or he has broken off so much hoof that the hoof won't hold a shoe.
Routine hoof care, maybe every eight weeks in the winter, could be expected to prevent such problems. The interval between trimming or resetting shoes also varies with usage and rate of hoof growth. For example, if we ride our horses frequently in the rocky Wind River Mountains of Wyoming, we must keep a close eye on the wear and tear sustained by the shoes.
There have been times when the shoes were worn down to thin pieces of steel in a six-week period of intensive riding. Slipping and sliding over rugged, rocky trails also takes a heavy toll on the nails that hold the shoe to the hoof. Frequently, the pressures exerted cause the nails to work loose, and the next thing we know a shoe has been torn free.
This can cause severe hoof damage if a chunk of hoof tears off with the shoe. What this means is that the trail rider, no matter what the terrain, should be checking those shoes on a daily basis. If one shows signs of coming loose, it should immediately be tightened. This is not a difficult procedure and is one that your farrier probably would be happy to demonstrate. Sometimes it isn t economically beneficial for a farrier to make a trip to your place just to replace a lost shoe. Many farriers don t charge for this service if the shoe loss was within a short time of the last shoeing.
It is much better for everyone if you keep a close eye on the horse's feet and correct a problem before it becomes a crisis.
Hoof Growth Rate
As already mentioned, one of the prime criteria when discussing what should be "normal" trimming and shoeing is rate of growth. This is something that will vary with age, diet, and other factors. While you might not like the expense involved in frequent trims when you have a horse with rapidly growing hooves, there is a definite positive to this scenario. Generally speaking, hooves that grow rapidly -- unless rapid growth is accentuated by injury or disease -- are stronger than those that grow more slowly. This means that they likely will hold a shoe better and be less apt to crack or break.
It has also been found that the hooves of young horses grow faster than those of older animals. One of the reasons that has been theorized for this is that hoof growth is tied to heart rate. The higher the heart rate, the faster the hoof growth, and foals have a heart rate that is at least twice as fast as older horses. Hoof growth rate decreases in response to the aging process.
Exercise and diet also influence the rate of hoof growth. It has been found that the hooves of horses which exercise on a regular basis grow faster than those which get little exercise. It has also been found that horses which have been fed properly will experience more rapid hoof growth than horses on a limited ration.
As most alert horse owners have learned, the front hooves generally grow more rapidly than the rear hooves.
Something else that has a strong influence on growth rate and hoof health is moisture. Moisture content can have a significant bearing on what is "normal" trimming and shoeing for a particular horse.
Doug Butler, PhD, CJF, FWCF, formerly with Colorado State University but now in private practice, says hoof moisture has been shown to have a direct effect on hoof quality. "There is constant evaporation taking place from the hoof," he says. "Moisture must be replaced to compensate for this loss. Systemic water is transferred from the extensive blood and lymph supply of the sensitive structures to adjacent horn cells and they in turn transfer it to other horn cells. Environmental water from ground sources is also conducted throughout the hoof in a similar manner. Balance of the two sources of moisture is probably maintained through the principle of osmosis. When one source is insufficient, the animal depends more heavily on the other. Hoof quality may relate more to the hoof s ability to regulate the moisture content than anything else, because as the moisture content decreases, the hoof becomes harder and tougher."
Harder and tougher in this context do not correlate with stronger. A hoof that is dry and hard will be more prone to breaking and cracking.
There is a flip side to the moisture discussion -- too much moisture can be as harmful as too little. Ric Redden, DVM, an equine foot specialist from Versailles, Ky., is of the opinion that many racing Thoroughbreds have hoof problems because of excessive moisture that causes the hoof walls to lose their strength.
This brings us again to good animal husbandry and observation in determining what is a normal trimming or shoeing schedule for a specific horse. In some areas of the South, excessive moisture might have a strong bearing on what is a normal trimming and shoeing regimen. In the West, abnormally dry conditions might have a bearing on what is normal for trimming and shoeing.
All of the above emphasizes that "normal" trimming and shoeing are determined by a wide variety of factors, and we as owners must be cognizant of all of them.
Next comes the question of whether a horse needs shoes in the first place. We know that the hoof must be trimmed regularly in most instances, but does it really need shoes? There is no blanket answer. Usage should have a strong influence on the decision. The horses we ride on rocky mountain trails would destroy their hooves without shoes. (See "The Barefoot Horse")
However, if you ride on trails that are covered with grass or soft dirt, shoeing might be an unnecessary expense. Horse owners should be aware that driving a nail through the hoof wall is an unnatural thing for a horse and creates an insult that only time and continued hoof growth will erase.
Granted there are certain horse show disciplines that dictate that a horse be shod. Reining horses, with their signature sliding stop, are fitted with shoes that allow them to exaggerate this motion. Saddlebreds, with their high-stepping gaits, require a special type of shoe, as does the competing Tennessee Walking Horse. These are shoes that are designed to enhance high-stepping action rather than protect the hoof.
But that doesn t provide an answer for the backyard horse. The best way to approach the decision is by considering the shoe as protection for the hoof. If you have a horse with strong, flexible hooves that grow rapidly and you ride in soft, undemanding terrain, protection might not be needed. If you have a horse with weak hooves, shoes might be required even in undemanding terrain. We already have stated the need for shoes in rocky terrain.
Eventually, as is the case with so many things in the equine world, the matter of trimming and shoeing boils down to treating the horse as an individual and understanding its needs.

More Tips for Shopping at a Farmer's Market
Let me make a couple of assumptions before beginning to offer tips. Advice will differ depending on the audience. For instance, some people love going to a farmer's market as much for the social communion as for the food. Those people would be advised to arrive around noontime, or smack in the middle of market hours, to encounter the largest number of others. Some people simply want the most wholesome, local food, and may want to get in and out and be done, or to converse at length with just a few people, such as some of the farmers themselves. They would be advised to show up right at the beginning or the end of the market, when they had a better chance of conversation with the farmers.
My assumptions for this article are going to be that:
1.) The reader values wholesome food that was grown in a relatively ethical, natural process.
2.) The reader would like to get as much food as possible out of the shopping trip, while keeping the grocery budget as low as possible.
3.) The market offers locally grown produce and animal products as well as the stalls that sell ready-made food, treats, oils, and other items and services.
Without further ado, keeping those assumptions in mind, here are my farmer's market tips:
- Bring the right amount of cash; don't rely on a costly ATM machine.
- Skip the treats, unless this is your family's special outing and you have a separate budget for the treats. You can get a pound of gorgeous produce for the cost of some of the mouth-watering but high-cost treats available at the market.
- Look at each stall once to get a feel for who has what and at what price before buying anything.
- Spend the bulk of your money on produce and one or two animal product essentials.
- If your family eats meat, carefully consider acquiring an extra freezer and buying a full or half animal from a farmer to freeze and use for a long period of time. Not only will this meat taste unbelievably delicious compared to what is sold in grocery stores, it will be cost-effective buying in such a large amount. (Freezers can be found on sale at home improvement stores from time to time and advertised on sites like Craigslist, Freecycle, eBay, and local classified ads.
- When you are satisfied with the amount of produce and animal products you have acquired, then look at extras. Depending on your family, these may or may not be optional: local honey, handmade bread, fair trade coffee, "exotic" meat such as duck, oils and vinegars, and handmade soaps. There is usually no shortage of products, only a finite budget that might stop your purchasing.
- Look for useful services. Our farmer's market has a knife sharpener. We would have had to look hard to find that service if we had not stumbled upon him and asked his usual schedule so we could bring up our dull but good-quality kitchen knives.
- Avoid extra services. Do you really need a massage? Do your kids need a pony ride every time they see ponies? Yes, our market offers these things. We would spend a LOT of money if we said yes to these every time.
There is almost no feeling better than bringing home your farmer's market purchases to eat as a family. You know that the food you are feeding your family is not only wonderful in taste but also wonderful in nutritional value. Regardless of what you buy at the farmer's market, you can feel good about where your money is going. And if you have questions or qualms, you can go visit the farm or business to see it for yourself. That is the beauty of buying local.
Happy shopping!

Jose Mourinho hails Manchester United crowd in thinly-veiled dig at Chelsea fans
Jose Mourinho has hailed the Old Trafford crowd, claiming he has 'never had people like these ones', after Manchester United's 1-0 EFL Cup win over Manchester City on Wednesday.
Juan Mata's second-half strike proved enough for the hosts to eliminate their neighbours, the current EFL Cup holders, from the competition.
Mourinho reserved special praise for the home support in his post-match comments, which have been interpreted in some quarters as a veiled attack on Chelsea fans.
"I think in last seven we lost one but it was a big defeat and numbers that the history of this club does not deserve and my heart belongs to the fans and I felt especially deeply for them," he said.
"But reality is I never had people like these ones. We lost 4-0 and they were supported.
"Today the stadium was full and not full of people, [but] real supporters and it looks like the love that people have for the club is bigger than three bad seasons so we must give something back."
Mourinho's tribute comes days after United's support sang loudly for long periods during a 4-0 defeat at Chelsea, despite their team's abject performance.
Antonio Conte, the Chelsea manager, became frustrated with the apathy of Stamford Bridge's home crowd and began signalling for more noise by waving his arms and pacing down the touchline.
Mourinho appeared to be rankled by Conte's behaviour and, according to Italian media, accused his opposite number of attempting to 'humiliate' United after the final whistle.
After the win over City, the Portuguese added: "[The victory] was a better way to create an absolutely wonderful feeling with fans I've never seen like this. I'm very happy for them. I don't care about myself.
"The performance was good – not phenomenal. But what was phenomenal was the spirit and this is the minimum we can give to the fans."

Examine your accounts.
We'll begin with you by reviewing your current accounts. This includes IRA, 401(k), 403(b), taxable brokerage accounts, 529, and others. This gives us a holistic view of your situation. We'll come up to speed on where you are and identify areas to improve.
Your goals, life events, and cash needs.
Discussing big life events on the horizon, like a child entering college or a planned retirement date, is the next step. Getting a sense of your yearly cash flow living needs is also something we'll do together. And we need to understand your long-term financial goals.
Your tolerance for risk.
We'll step through some scenarios to help us understand your tolerance for risk, in an effort to determine what investments are suitable for you. This process is important because people will often act differently in a crisis than they anticipate. So we'll try to determine how much risk you can absorb while still feeling comfortable.
Busywork reduction for you.
Most financial advisors want you to move your assets when you start with them. We're big proponents of simplicity and wherever possible we will try to work with what you have in place. Let's face it, you don't want to go through all of that trouble, and we don't want you to either. Shifting accounts can cause basis errors at tax time as well. Sometimes we'll have to move some of your accounts but we'll try to minimize this for you.
"The Liberation."
During "The Liberation" we'll strip away as many financial fees from your assets as possible.
"The Liberation" is our internal name for the initial implementation step. It is here that we strip away, or liberate, your assets from the financial fee takers. Consideration needs to be given to taxes here, as taxable events are often generated at this step (a process that, while unfortunate, is generally beneficial long term). We can implement "The Liberation" in different ways, depending on your situation when you begin with us.
Investment model implementation.
Once your assets have been through "The Liberation," the next step is to implement a long-term financial plan for you. This considers the various needs and constraints you have in terms of goals, cash flow, and big event needs. It factors in your penchant for risk and aims to provide you with a suitable, maintainable long-term structure. You want your investment model to be one that you will not change in periods of euphoria or crisis.
Rebalancing is an important ongoing process. It's not entirely formulaic; done carefully, many taxes can be avoided and returns can be optimized. Twice yearly we will examine which assets in your account need to be rebalanced and execute that for you. Studies show that 90% of the difference in returns relates to asset allocation, so it is important to keep your allocations from drifting off plan. You'll be kept in the loop during the process.
Review life events.
Your life will change over time. Your goals may change, your cash needs may change, the number of kids you have may change, your marital status may change. Keeping abreast of these developments in your life will help us work together to make sure you stay on track.
We will encourage you not to watch the financial news.
One of the benefits to passive investing is that it's, well, passive. We're not going to bombard you with "the next great trade" or world events that you have to respond to. In fact, we'll encourage you not to watch financial news or get caught up in the casino antics of the stock market. We'll help you mentally prepare for a future crisis or bubble: we'll train you for those scenarios ahead of time. But otherwise hiring us should help you to focus on other pursuits, whether they are work, hobbies, or family.
And remember:
"The stock market serves as a relocation center at which money is moved from the active to the patient." ~Warren Buffett

Our new teachers are overworked, over-stressed and in need of urgent support.
Removing Special Religious Instruction (SRI) from the curriculum could drive students away from state schools, religious providers warn.
As an author, I appreciate the Seven Steps approach to Creative Writing in connection with NAPLAN. It's so important to retain the enjoyment and joy of writing for educators and for students. But it's also realistic to learn to write online.
Firstly, there is valid Australian research on the importance of fluent (accurate, legible & fast) handwriting & the significant impact on writing quality & quantity by Carol Christensen (UQ). Her research includes fluency data on keyboarding as well.this is critical with the move to online writing tasks. This is important for schools. Secondly, timed writing is a different task from most writing? We can't change that.Thirdly, there are credible online writing measures that are more consistent & correlate highly with human markers for writing tasks.Finally - before we deal with writing - we need to address reading comprehension? If students can't understand texts & learn - ultimately this limits their writing? Hoping this adds some focus on valid research to this discussion!Best always, Gail Brown

In their Q3 earnings report, Qualcomm mentioned that over 10 companies are working on dual-core CPU powered tablets. To quote Steven Mollenkopf, Executive Vice President and Group President:
"In terms of dual core, we have today over 10 different companies designing tablets on our dual core solutions. So we feel very good about where they're going."
As you see, he didn't elaborate on the names of these companies, but probably the bigger question is whether these tablets will be fully embraced by the (still not officially announced) new Android 3.0 OS (Honeycomb), which is thought to be tablet-optimized.
It just seems like all the tabs designated for Honeycomb are powered by NVIDIA's dual-core Tegra processor (for example the Toshiba FOLIO 100 that's already shipping in Europe) and this doesn't bode well for the future dual-core Qualcomm processors.
Needless to say, it's too early to make any final conclusions, while the information is so scarce. We can expect more info on the new dual-core Snapdragon in early January next year, when CES (the Consumer Electronics Show) takes place.

The White House on Tuesday rebuked Republican critics of its contribution to the United Nations climate pact, saying the criticisms are "hard to take seriously."
Asked about congressional Republicans who want the Senate to have to approve an agreement, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said that politicians who are skeptical of the science surrounding climate change are not qualified to judge the matter.
"These are individuals who — many of whom, at least, deny the fact that climate change even exists, so I'm not sure they would be in the best position to decide whether or not a climate- change agreement is one that is worth entering into," Earnest told reporters Tuesday.
The lie of climate change is a big one and it is told frequently.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says he doesn't regret saying in 2012 that Mitt Romney didn't pay taxes.
"No, I don't regret that," Reid said in an interview with CNN.
"No one would help me, they were afraid the Koch Brothers would go after them. So I did it on my own," Reid said, referring to the billionaire conservative donors Charles and David Koch. "That's what I felt I had to do."
Reid's relentless attacks on Romney's tax returns — which the candidate refused to release at the time — drew a firestorm of criticism. Reid refused to reveal his source for the information even as he repeated the charge multiple times.
This is just one of the lies attributed to Reid
Hillary Clinton used an iPad and Blackberry to send official emails at the State Department despite her claim that she relied on a personal address to avoid the inconvenience of multiple devices, according to The Associated Press.
The AP received four emails from a Freedom of Information Act request filed in 2013, and one exchange showed Clinton mistakenly responding to senior aide Huma Abedin's email about drone strikes with questions about furniture.
This is just one of the lies attributed to Hillary.
U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice is under fire for going on several Sunday talk shows five days after the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and providing apparently erroneous information to the public. But Obama's own public statements about Benghazi, made in three separate nationally televised interviews in the days after Rice's appearances, were equally misleading and have received scarcely any attention.
Sometimes the truth does win.

I worry when I hear anyone talking about wanting to ban realistic books to "protect" teens and children—as if pretending that harsh realities don't exist will protect anyone. It's such a strange, convoluted argument to me. Because I want to protect teens, too—and that's what I try to do through my realistic suspense and edgy paranormal novels.
I want to arm teens with the knowledge that if they're in pain—if they've been abused, bullied, faced homophobia or racism or sexism, if they've hurt themselves or are in so much pain that they want to die—they are not alone, and things can get better. I want them to know that there are other people out there who understand them, who've been where they've been, who've survived and who are glad they did. I want them to find compassion and safety in a book—sometimes the only source they'll find as a teen. And that's what I do through my books. Yet some people have tried to remove SCARS from libraries or tried to convince others not to let their kids read it. STAINED hasn't come out yet—it releases Oct 1—but since it also deals with some painful subjects in a real and emotional way, I think it will also face some book challenges. And yet books like the ones I write, and many other authors write, are so needed.
Every 9 minutes, someone in the US is sexually assaulted.1 1 in 6 are female and 1 in 33 are male, and 44% are under the age of 182—and that's just who's reported it. 93% of child and teen sexual assault victims know their attacker.3 Approximately 15% of teens in the US self-harm.4 1 in 5 teens in the US were bullied in school or cyberbullied.5 For children and teens aged 10-24, suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death.6 LGBT teens are 8.5 times more likely to attempt suicide because of homophobia.7 Clearly a lot of teens are going through rough times, and need support, understanding, and validation. For teens who are being abused at home or whose parents are not supportive, many won't find the safety and support they need except through books. When teens do have safety at home, books can be a way to open up discussion.
Books can be a lifeline for teens who've been through trauma or hard times, and they can be a source of greater understanding of a friend or classmate for those who haven't been through such experiences. They can help readers mentally prepare for events before they happen, help them realize they have more choices than they thought they did, and help give them hope and encourage healing.
In STAINED (out Oct 1), Sarah, a teen with a port-wine stain and body image issues, is abducted and must find a way to rescue herself. I drew on some of my own experiences to write it. I think even if a reader hasn't been through any of the traumatic things that Sarah has—bullying, abduction, rape, being withheld food and water, having her life threatened—they will take away the most powerful message in the book: Sometimes you have to be the one to save yourself. It's what I had to do, over and over, to escape the abuse and torture I was living, and it's what so many teens have to do in big and small ways. And I think many teens will identify with and understand the body image issues, bullying, and rape that Sarah experiences—and learn from her healing journey as she reclaims herself. Readers who haven't been through any of those experiences will find a greater appreciation for what they have.
Books save lives. I know this on a deep level. I couldn't have survived all the abuse and torture I did without the validation AND the escape that books gave me. And, even three years after SCARS was published, I still get reader letters every week from teens telling me that because of SCARS they got help, stopped cutting, felt less alone, felt understood for the first time—or kept from killing themselves. I also still get letters from readers who haven't been through sexual abuse or self-harm and aren't queer, but who have more compassion for those who do—including, sometimes, their own children. Books are powerful tools to increase compassion and empathy and help readers know they're not alone.
So I worry—and I get angry—whenever someone wants to keep books from readers just because they didn't like or understand a book, or somehow found it frightening or triggering of their own issues. If you don't like a book, or you don't want your child to read it, that's fine. That's your choice. But don't try to prevent others from reading books that can literally save lives. Don't take away what, for some teens, can be the difference between suicide or choosing life.

Spitzer Observes
Unsettled Youth - Chaotic Planetary System Discovered
© NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Ariz.
Astronomers had previously used both Spitzer and Hubble to image a rotating disk of planetary debris around Fomalhaut, which is 25 light-years from Earth. HR 8799 is about five times farther away, so scientists weren't sure if Spitzer would be able to capture a picture of its disk. To their amazement and delight, Spitzer succeeded.
The giant cloud of fine dust around the disk is very unusual. The scientists propose that the dust is coming from collisions among small bodies similar to the comets or icy bodies that make up today's Kuiper Belt objects in our solar system. The gravity of the three large planets is throwing the smaller bodies off course, causing them to migrate around and collide with each other. Astronomers think the three planets might have yet to reach their final stable orbits, so more violence could be in store.
"The system is very chaotic and collisions are spraying up a huge cloud of fine dust," said Su. "What's exciting is that we have a direct link between a planetary disk and imaged planets. We've been studying disks for a long time, but this star and Fomalhaut are the only two examples of systems where we can study the relationships between the locations of planets and the disks."
When our solar system was young, it went through similar planet migrations. Jupiter and Saturn moved around quite a bit, throwing comets around, sometimes into Earth. Some say the most extreme part of this phase, called the late heavy bombardment, explains how our planet got water. Wet, snowball-like comets are thought to have crashed into Earth, delivering life's favorite liquid.

The Summit
Thanks to participants, partners and sponsors for supporting and attending the 2017 California Economic Summit!
Coming this fall, the 2018 Summit will be held in Sonoma County.
The sixth annual statewide gathering of the state's largest public- and private-sector network advanced the progess made in workforce preparation, housing and community development, infrastructure and working landscapes.
The 2017 Summit sought to advance these ambitious themes during the event and in the coming year:
- Create a unifying triple-bottom-line vision for increasing economic security and upward mobility
- Expand the strength and diversity of the Summit network to increase its influence on state and local policy decisions
- Mature the Summit as a formal civic partner with government to advance triple-bottom-line policies
The Summit's yearlong process has made steady progress along the 2017 Roadmap to Shared Prosperity, which was created through the contribution of hundreds of Californians and contains detailed plans to:
- Improve the workforce pipeline so more Californians can develop the skills they need to earn livable wages
- Increase the supply of housing near jobs and transit to reduce California's sky-high cost of living, redirect wages into local economies, and ensure more people in the state have a safe place to live
- Expand regional water management to ensure all Californians live in healthy watersheds with reliable water supplies
Summit Wrap-up: Rebuilding Economic Mobility in 2017 and Beyond
This year represented a renewed focus on lifting up more Californians and continuing initiatives to build more housing, develop a skilled workforce, and create the infrastructure needed to support them.

More About The Summit
The California Economic Summit catalyzes public and private sector commitments to the triple bottom line: simultaneous growth in the economy, improvement in environmental quality, and increased opportunity for all.
The Summit is the premier venue for Californians from different regions and perspectives to craft solutions to the driving questions of our times:
- California is leading on carbon reductions and has set some of the world's most ambitious climate goals. How can we also make sure we are restoring upward mobility and producing middle-wage jobs that allow workers to flourish in a low-carbon economy?
- California is the epicenter of the tech revolution, but amidst the rise of the robots, many workers fear for their jobs. How do we prepare Californians to thrive in an automated workplace?
- California has one of the world's largest, most dynamic and diverse economies. Faced with rising living costs and infrastructure challenges, how can California maintain a competitive advantage?
No one else is going to solve this problem for California. You can be part of the solution and register for the 2017 California Economic Summit today.
The Summit is a civic venture that requires contributions of time, talent and treasure. California Forward and the California Stewardship Network continue to convene hundreds of California experts and practitioners from all over the state. The California Economic Summit's 2017 Roadmap to Shared Prosperity sets the course for the future.
The California Economic Summit created the 2017 Roadmap to Shared Prosperity to highlight a set of ambitious goals—the One Million Challenges—that will be vital to expanding sustainable economic growth in every part of California.
After sharpening this strategy at the 2016 Summit in Sacramento, the Summit's expanding network of business, equity, environmental, and civic organizations have pledged to work together—and ahold themselves accountable—to producing, over the next decade:
One million more skilled workers
One million more homes
One million more acre-feet of water each year
Read the full Roadmap: 2017 Roadmap to Shared Prosperity
The California Economic Summit gathers together leaders from across the state in an unprecedented way to create shared economic agenda, one developed by private, public, and civic champions from the state's diverse regions with the goal of expanding prosperity for all.
In advance of the 2016 California Economic Summit in Sacramento, Summit leaders looked ahead to identify priority areas of action for advancing prosperity over the next five years.
The resulting collaboration at the Summit helped launch the 2017 Roadmap to Shared Prosperity which is focused on accelerating progress in three key areas--Workforce, Housing and Water.
In its first five years, the Summit network of business, equity, environmental, and civic organizations has rallied around a strategic vision for sustainable economic growth—and built a track record of advancing these shared goals of the state's economic regions. For California to prosper, the Summit believes progress must be accelerated in three key areas. These are the One Million Challenges. In the next decade, private, civic, and public-sector leaders have pledged to work together—and hold themselves accountable—to produce:

Training on scientifically improved nutritional & management practices for buffalo husbandry in village Landhri
CIRB organised four days off-campus training for farmers on scientific nutritional & management practices for improving buffalo productivity in village Landhri, Hisar. 116 respondents participated in training from 14- 17 June. Scientists discussed important topics as salient phenotype characters to identify Murrah breed for procurement, significance of feeding balanced -ration and regular use of mineral mixture to prevent incidence of several reproduction and production related problems through lectures under able guidance of Director, Dr Inderjeet Singh.
Experts demonstrated the use of institute web-site by farmers for making buffalo related quarries and giving feedback to scientists using interactive platform, developed under ICT initiatives to communicate with scientists in a group of participants.
Essentials like maintenance of records of incidence of disease, oestrus symptoms, details of vaccination/ semen doses of AI, days of insemination and their role in improvement of animal performance were discussed during training. All queries related to buffalo health problems as enquired by farmers were responded by Veterinary health experts. Health doctors attended to problems related to dystokia, mastitis, postpartum anoestrus, post abortion infections, underweight calves, etc.
While concluding the training, Director emphasised on need of working in groups for adopting scientific procedures and practices in day to day buffalo husbandry to improve productivity. Adoption of practices like procurement of high merit semen doses for AI in buffaloes, procurement of right kind of mineral mixture, to develop processed milk and product units in village after undertaking training on milk- processing practices at specific govt. organizations as NDRI, Karnal for high profits was discussed.
Farmers took keen interest in training and in procuring CIRB mineral mixture during training. 50 packets of mineral mixture were sold @Rs. 90/pk. Farmers interacted openly with scientists during all four days of training. Training was coordinated by group of scientists comprising Dr P Sikka, Dr K P Singh, Dr V Mudgal and Shri Ramchander.

A Little Bit Of Planning Can Save A Lot Of Headaches
Thu., March 30, 1995
One of the best ways to increase your chances of completing any project around the home successfully is to do a little planning.
Wait a minute. I know what you're thinking. This is another "Plan Your Project Properly" lecture. How boring can you get?
Well, you're wrong. Take it from someone who doesn't sit down and outline or list the steps for a project. It is possible to create a miniplan without a complex list of steps. You will, however, probably benefit from a list of materials.
With just a few moments of planning, a few minutes of getting your materials and tools ready, you can save yourself a lot of time and frustration.
Here are a few suggestions to get you going in that direction:
Estimate material needs
How many times have you had to stop in the middle of a project and go to a home center or hardware store to get something you forgot? You're in good company. Take a look around the next time you're in such a store, particularly on a weekend. Chances are you'll see many in the same fix.
Just once, wouldn't it be nice to be able to do a project without having to hit the store in the middle of it? Who says you can't? All it takes is a list of materials. (OK, this isn't going to work all the time. But it should cut down on most or some of those frustrating midproject trips.)
Clear a space
If you're like most people, your workbench or worktable often is cluttered. Put tools and materials you won't need back in their spaces and clean the area.
Often, just deciding how much space you'll need to clear is one of the first considerations. If you have materials for your project that will take up significant room, plan to give yourself extra space - beyond the space those materials will need - so you can maneuver them and use tools.
Decide on tools
This sounds a bit simplistic, but things work better if you decide at the start what tools you're going to need. This doesn't mean you'll have to have all the tools you're going to need out at once. But deciding which tools you'll need allows you to create space for those electrical cords, decide where you'll use clamps if necessary and make other decisions.
For instance, you might need more than one electrical tool for the project, but it will have to be used in conjunction with other electrical tools. You don't want electrical cords running amok over your project, but you don't want to have to unplug one tool and plug in another constantly. Try an electrical service cord with space for three plugs. You can get that out ahead of time and plug it in.
Cleanup time
Whatever you do, plan time at the end of the project - even if you're not able to finish - to clean tools and the area as much as possible. No outline or time chart needed - it's just a step to keep in mind.
Allow more time for cleanup than you think you'll need. You'll be a lot
more inclined to continue with the project, repeat it or tackle something else if you don't have to clean that work area before you use it again.

Rural debt continues to bite in northern AustraliaCassie Hough, Monday April 21, 2014 - 13:26 EST
Despite government aid packages and some rain, farmers are still struggling in the north of the country.
Financial troubles are now spreading from beef production to the grains industry, with some even facing foreclosure.
Surat farmer Charles Nason is concerned this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to rural debt.
"I think people have been struggling for a long time, but they never were game to share it with their mates. I think there's been a huge change in the last 12 months. People are now starting to admit they're having problems."
Mr Nason believes a big part of the problem has been the effects of weather in recent years.
"People blame droughts. I believe in our area it was the floods of 2010/2011 that really caused the problem," he said.
"The current wisdom is you tend to lose a bit of money in a drought, it rains and that's when you make your money."
"It rained for us and I think we lost more money in the floods than we did in the droughts and that amplified the area. When we should have rebuilt our bank accounts it put us further into the red."
An economist who has pushed for the creation of a rural bank says urgent changes are needed to address problems with the rural sector.
Dr Mark McGovern, from the Queensland University of Technology, believes farmers are stuck in a 'double jeopardy' situation.
"The double jeopardy has come about because, not only do we have the usual problems with nature that farmers are exposed to without now having any provisions for exceptional circumstances, there's also been a revaluing down of the book value of assets within the banking system.
"So this accounting change has also given farmers another exposure and it's leading to properties facing receivership."
The Australian Bankers Association was contacted for comment with regard to foreclosures.
In a statement, the ABA says banks provide financial hardship assistance to their customers who may be experiencing financial difficulties and work with their agribusiness customers to assist them manage their businesses and the volatility of cash flows, which can be the result of prolonged drought, natural disasters, or changes in trade conditions.
"It is up to an individual bank to determine when hardship assistance is no longer a viable option for their customer and the bank."

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Small guide for insanity..
You must be carreful at early game because vayne is definetly late game hero.. You can have health problems at early game so play safely dont vaste your mana for harass; everyone thinks that vayne must be in mid but i dont think so, because if you have tanky/dps teammate with you you can attack from backside that you wouldnt lose hp, if you lose you will easy target for enemy.. You must use exhaust for late game because if enemy is high ad/dps you can be ambushed badly, you have low defance so using exhaust for moments like that is great idea.., exhaust reduices %70 of enemys damage.. Ghost for catching enemy much more easly you know,Vayne have good passive but base moviement speed is vorse.. You can buy flash instead ghost.. Enjoy it please! :)
Pros / Cons
♥ Damage burst! At late game you will able to kill everyone including tanks easy and quick!
♥ Your Tumbles cooldown is 1.5 second with your ultimate it makes you invible so use it all time when able!
♥ Worse defance at early game! You must stay safe til you get your phantom dancer..
♥ Slow champ! Bad for defancing lanes at early game..
♥ Hard gameplaying at early game.. You need to be skilled.. :)

A precious package…
I saw the UPS truck round the corner and my heart began to beat just a little faster. Will today be the day of the delivery, I wondered as I continued to watch my kids and their friends racing around the yard. The driver stopped and placed it in my hands. I felt a bit weak in the knees. So much energy, exploration and prayer and yet it was such a small box. I checked the return address to be sure and yes, it was indeed the package I was so eagerly anticipating.
We have taken on the role of becoming Sponsorship Coordinators of a Connect Community Carepoint in Awassa, Ethiopia. Are you are scratching your head asking what is a Connect Community Carepoint? Let me explain. Both Bob and myself have entered into a partnership with Children's Hopechest in order to give at least 150 kids from a very vulnerable and destitute community in Ethiopia a hope and a future through sponsorship. The Chapa Connect Community needs our community and individuals to partner with them to sponsor a child monthly to change the future for one and perhaps even a future for the entire community.
It's a big commitment… and I ask myself will 150 families come forward to change the life of a child in Ethiopia?
So you might still be wondering what was inside my hghly anticipated box. Pictures of children… young children, some wearing mere rags with only one parent living. Children, with hardened faces listed as vulnerable or orphaned. Children with beautiful Ethiopian nmes. Children who have hopes and dreams. The box was filled with profile cards of each of the precious children who have been identified as needing help in the Chapa community. The profile cards melt me and I find myself dreaming about my trip {and possibly yours} this coming February to Awassa, Ethiopia where I can meet each one of the children who arrived on a card in a box and show them all that they are loved. I long to bring them a hope and a future and to know each one by name.
I am dreaming big… I know, but the opportunity has been set before me and I know that those in my community of family, friends, adoptive families, neighborhood, church, school, business and even mere acquaintences who often ask me how they can get involved, will show up to be the change for one. We can all begin with one. Let's dream big together and see how the connection of community to community can transform and renew the lost, the least and the broken.
Please contact me if you and your family are interested in sponsoring a child or if I might answer any questions.
Peaece and Grace,

I chatted briefly Wednesday afternoon with a former youth baseball coach of mine. He's tall, slender and 75.
Fred Lamback doesn't look 75. Then again, a lot of folks I know in their 60s and 70s these days don't look their age – nor do they act it.
Mr. Lamback is still jogging on a regular basis. And he's working on getting his bike trainer back from the shop. I asked if he's planning on competing in any upcoming triathlons.
His response: "I'm trying to get in better shape."
Amy Vincent plans to put up a lot of shots on the basketball court this summer. Now, she has plenty of motivation to do so.
Vincent recently signed an offer to play at Truett-McConnell College.
"It's really exciting," she said. "I'm really looking forward to going next year and being a part of the team."
Vincent, who graduated as a homeschooled student with a 4.0 GPA, played point guard for Eagle Sports of Augusta. Vincent averaged 17 points a game her junior season.
Goalkeeper Jasmine Cole of Evans was named the girls Region 2-AAAAA player of the year after helping her team pull off a first.
The Lady Knights went undefeated in regular season region play for the first time in school history. Cole allowed five goals in region play as Evans amassed a 10-0 record in the regular season. The Knights advanced to the region championship as well as the first round of the state tournament.
Greenbrier basketball camp
The Greenbrier basketball camp, for fourth- through eighth-graders, will be held June 1-3 at Greenbrier High School. The camp runs from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. each day. Campers will receive a T-shirt, basketball and lunch on Friday, June 3.
For more information, email Casey Heckathorn at email@example.com for camp application and information.
Harlem High Golf Classic
Georgia Southern's newest football coach recently visited Columbia County as the last stop of the Eagles' coaches caravan.
Tyson Summers was hired in December to replace Willie Fritz, who bolted for Tulane. Since Summers' hiring, it's been a whirlwind of activity.
The Georgia Southern caravan began April 26 in Savannah, Ga. From there, Summers has traveled to places like Jacksonville, Fla., as well as Georgia cities like Tifton, Columbus, Macon and Atlanta.
After a pair of runner-up finishes in the state championship, Lakeside's Megan Sabol sought her first state title.
But it wasn't meant to be Monday afternoon.
The senior golfer shot 85 in the Class AAAAA girls golf state championship at West Lake Country Club.
Julianna Collett of Glynn Academy won the individual competition with 3-over-par 75. She fired 36 on the second nine to help her beat Dalton's Carson Roberts, Isabel Rijos of Northside (Columbus) and Lanier's Niquole Mangal by one shot.
Grovetown's DeAndra King grew up wanting to take advantage of her height.
Instead of basketball, she chose volleyball. And Monday, she parlayed her success on the volleyball court into a college offer.
In front of family and friends, King signed to play volleyball with Life University.
King started playing volleyball about four years ago. She was looking for something to do to stay busy right before entering Grovetown High School.
Matt Harrison and Noah Ortt believed their lacrosse-playing days were over.
Then Piedmont College came into the picture.
The Greenbrier duo recently signed with the Demorest, Ga., school, extending their stay in their favorite sport.
"I never really thought I'd play at the next level," Harrison said. "Recently, I gave it some thought and it just made sense to me. I love lacrosse. Ever since I started playing, it's just been awesome. Playing at the next level will be a great experience. I can't wait."
There's been no shortage of Columbia County high school athletes signing college scholarships this spring, and that's a good thing.
The vast majority of teenagers I've interviewed have told me they plan to major in the medical field – smart kids. Today's leaders on the sports fields are going to be tomorrow's leading doctors, nurses, dentists, physical therapists, etc.
Triathlons will be held this weekend
The Tall Pines Olympic and Sprint Triathlons, presented by GO Race Productions, will be held this weekend at Strom Thurmond Lake.

This week, I have read David Gillespie's The Sweet Poison Quit Plan and discovering the impact of sugar on the body. Research has shown that sugar, or more importantly the fructose in sugar effects us because it's:
- Converted to fat by our liver
- Interferes with our appetite control hormones
I like everyone else thought my diet was reasonably balanced however what I didn't realise is how much hidden sugar is in the healthy everyday foods we eat. So as a challenge, between now and the end of the year I plan to watch my daily intake of sugar attempting to keep it down to the recommended 6 teaspoons a day for women. This is actually 24 grams of sugar as 1 teaspoon of sugar equals 4 grams of sugar. It won't be easy but I think the improved health of my body will make it worth it. Let me know what you think and if you are up for the challenge too.

" We might get taken prisoner by the reds"
by soulmate
Communist Flag USSR - Credit: CPKbanner.PNG: Soman
After World War II, a new line of division sprang up between the West led by the USA and Communist countries led by the Soviet Union. News reports of atrocities committed by communist leaders, as well as fears of a nuclear war, contributed to the sense of hysteria about Communists in the 1950s known as The Red Scare.
The term "Reds" comes from the flag of the Communist International, which was pure red.

Who else feels like it has been far too long since a diy around here? Thing is, I've been doing tons of projects. I just have been too lazy to edit the pictures and write up about them. Well, not today, baby! Productivity overload! Oh yeah!!!
About a month ago, we celebrated my roommate Molly's engagement with a fun little party. I made up some quick decorations using a few commonly found items, and thought I'd share how I constructed them.
you will need:
-writing utensil
-template (if desired)
-Elmer's glue
-old paint brush
-glitter, in your desired color.
first thing first: I wrote out Molly and Robert's initials, along with an ampersand. I just free-handed mine, but you could trace a template or a printed out font, to be sure.
Look at them all in a row. Next step is to cut them out.
I really hate cutting cardboard. Power through it! Then I used a paintbrush to completely cover the letter in glue, and covered sparkles all over. I found it easiest to work on either half the letter or a quarter of the letter at a time, as you can see below.
I think it would be lots of fun to do this project again, with stripes of varying sparkles and paint. Oh, it would be just delightful, wouldn't it? I think I might just do it.
So....I get quite happy when I craft.
Above: the ampersand is finished, now on to the other letters!
once I finished the letters, we hung them up on the wall, and continued decorating for the party. I was going to paint polka dots on that table cloth, but hey. You can't win 'em all.
have a lovelee day!

Why didn't you tell me how GREAT this show was??!! lol I remember years ago when this show was first on the air and the reason I remember, is because the guy who directed the Friday Night Lights TV show (and the movie) was one of my Top 5 favorite actor guys ever, Peter Berg. But even with my favorite guy directing it (and guest starring in a few episodes too), I still never watched it. Not even sure why I didn't really.
Fast forward to last month when my friend Casey told me he was binge-watching Friday Nights and LOVED it! Then my Nashville Bestie Chandra came to visit a few weeks later with her daughter over the Holidays and she told me she had just binge-watched it too. So we watched one episode and were IN! The funny thing is I am in love with Connie Britton on the ABC Show Nashville and I knew she came from FNL and now I love her even more!!
My husband Eric and I are now on the 4th of five seasons of Friday Night LIghts and we can't stop. It's our little thing we do together and I love it! We watch it almost every night after we put the kids down. It's become a total obsession and I'm going to be so sad when it's done.
Ok. so let's talk FNL…who was your favorite on the show??? Although don't get me started on Tim Riggins. That should be a entirely separate blog! hee hee

Oh I just had to comment! That show is awesome. I also never watched it while on tv but caught up with it on Netflix and binge watched for however long it took to get through it all. It's so, so good. And it ends well too. *spoiler* I know. But you know how some shows don't know they aren't going to be renewed, so they leave you hanging? Well, not this one. It wraps up so nicely. Which just makes it all the better! Good luck! It's sooooo good! (PS- we were in Stacy's wedding together 🙂
Please stock up on tissues for the last episode. One of the best finales I've ever seen, and Jason Katims did it again with the finale of Parenthood last week. So moving!
It's so hard to pick one favorite on FNL. I'm going to go with a couple – Coach and Tami. I love their interaction. They just keep it real.
Texas forever!!
I did the same thing! I binge watched it last summer! Mourned when it was over! It reminded my of my small home town in Oklahoma (only had one high school)! Almost every person in town had a season ticket (My mom's was on the third row, seat 1) The pep club sat in bleachers on the field and the cheerleaders were in front of us. If you weren't at the game on Friday night, your only excuse was being in the hospital! When we played Vernon, Texas (just across the state line) It was like the super bowl! Down town was always decorated in blue and white during football season and if we made the play offs, charter buses took most of the town to the games! I was "football clerical assistant" my senior year. Basically, I had enough credits to graduate and just needed something to do. So the Coach took me in and made me go on regular tampon runs for all those bloody noses they got in practice! lol Who knew? Oh, what simpler times and wonderful memories!
Riggins, Riggins, Riggins!!! Was there anyone else on the show??? 🙂 Loved the show!!! Now I will have to re-watch it on Netflix!!!!

It's Q&A Friiiiiiiidaaaayyyyyyy!!!!
And this week I've created a screencast based on a question I receieved from Juan Trejo about an image he found on my blog.
He asks, "What are some tips to get the brightness on the subject and light rays?"
Well the photo in question is the one above, and it's a great question! For anyone who is not SUPER familiar with Adobe's Lightroom 5, this might be a great little tutorial to get you introduced to some of it's functionality and also a bit of insight about what I look for in a image that I am going to edit. This is by no means a comprehensive tutorial, but it should give you some tips and tricks on how to get started with this powerhouse of a program.
With that said… lets DO it!

MILLIONS OF CHILDREN IN REPRESSIVE COUNTRIES like Burma, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh know all too well the grim reality of persecution, fear, and poverty. Unless someone intervenes on their behalf, many will remain trapped in the same vicious cycle as they grow into adulthood. CFI chooses to make a long-term investment in the lives of these children through our Child Sponsorship program, where they are provided with food, medical care, and educational opportunities.
CFI partners with caring donors who have pledged to regularly provide for the physical and spiritual needs of suffering children. Donors may correspond with their sponsored children through letter writing, offering prayers and encouragement for them and their families. Your pledge of monthly support will help CFI to continue to make a difference in the lives in these young victims of Christian persecution.
HELP BREAK THE CYCLE OF ILLITERACY in the Pakistani brickyards and provide a child the tools they need for a better future. You can become a sponsor and a friend to a Christian child in a brickyard in Pakistan.
Your sponsorship of $35 a month will ensure that your sponsored child will receive educational support, clothes, medical care, food, and other daily essentials. It will give a brickyard Christian child a chance for a better future.
Most importantly, each child in this brickyard will see God's love through the compassionate touch of a sponsor like you.

A SELSEY-based sports coach celebrated success at the 10th annual Sussex Sports Awards last Friday.
Max Wiseman, 17, won the Sussex Sport Magazine Young Coach of the Year Award for his work at Chichester District Council at the ceremony held at the Hilton Metropole, in Brighton.
Wiseman collected his award from Sussex Sport Magazine's Mike Donovan who was the category sponsor.
In 2011, the Sussex FA awarded Wiseman the FA Young Leader and Volunteer Award at the FA Community Awards and then represented the county at a national youth training camp, run by The FA for the top 100 youth coaches in the country.
He was then awarded a scholarship by Sussex FA, and the FA also helped him complete his Level 2 coaching course.
At just 17 years of age and studying full time at Chichester College, Wiseman demonstrates a consistent level of commitment and enthusiasm to his coaching and the teams he trains.
BBC Sussex presenter Danny Pike co-hosted the awards with Olympic bronze medallist and BBC 'voice of swimming' Steve Parry.
Active Sussex chief executive Sadie Mason said: "The 2012 Sussex Sports Awards is one of the most significant yet and gives us many reasons to celebrate.
"I hope that the winners, and of course all of those shortlisted, use this as a platform to push-on and strike gold in less than a year's time."
