Mag rack: Believing in S.A.'s art scene
Read the Believer regularly and you'll start to believe that San Antonio has some kind of contemporary art scene. Last month in the smart, well-designed magazine, which is kind of like a New Yorker for millennials, cultural critic Greil Marcus had a curious exchange with S.A. artist Dario Robleto about his piece in "Neo Hoodoo" […] [Read More]
Daddy Yankee on the record at Museo Alameda
"Nice to meet you, prima." Oh, that Daddy Yankee is such a charmer. Those were his first words to reporter Elaine Ayala at Museo Alameda last week (they share the same last name, you see).

AC/DC fans: Don't skip The Answer
San Antonio rock fans are notorious for showing up fashionably late, sometimes blowing off the opening act entirely.

Harare — A POLICE constable and a presiding officer in the March elections were arrested on Tuesday in Masvingo for electoral fraud.
Police also arrested a former MDC councillor and one other person for voting twice in Gutu.
Police chief spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Wayne Bvudzijena said several other officials from the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission were also arrested for discrepancies noted at polling stations where they were working.
The arrests follow the ongoing recounts being held in Bikita South, Gutu North, Zaka West and Masvingo Central constituencies.
Asst Comm Bvudzijena said Sheila Masvaure (43) the presiding officer at Matsvange Business Centre and Constable Kachasu were arrested for electoral fraud.
It is alleged that Masvaure and Kachasu were on duty on March 29 2008 at the same polling station when they were approached by nine people intending to vote whose names did not appear on the voters' roll.
Masvaure instructed Kachasu to verify the status of the nine voters with the command centre where he was advised that all the nine did not appear on the voters' roll.
"Masvaure and Kachasu connived and allowed the nine unregistered voters to vote.
"The voters' register is indicating that 272 voters cast their votes but the total vote slips are 281," said Asst Comm Bvudzijena.
In related matter, former MDC councillor Benard Gono had his name cancelled twice in ward 18 of Masvingo Central constituency, showing he allegedly voted twice.
His name was cancelled in the voters' roll at Chamakondo Clinic polling station as well as at Chekayi Secondary School.
"Gracious Mutimozho's name was cancelled twice in ward 13 of the Gutu North voters' roll at two polling centres namely Gutu Chiefs' Hall and Gutu United Primary School.
"Mutimozho has since been arrested for contravening Section 87 of Electoral Act Chapter 2:13 for double voting," said Asst Comm Bvudzijena.
"In the same constituency, police are interested in interviewing Danmore Naiti (24) whose name was cancelled at Gutu Chiefs' Hall and Mupandawana High School."
It has also been discovered in Gutu North constituency that five ballot papers could not be accounted for at Gutu Chiefs' Hall as 239 cancellations were made in the voters' roll with one voter's slip recorded in the protocol register giving a total of 240 voters.
A physical recount showed 245 votes giving rise to suspicion that the extra five were ghost voters, said Asst Comm Bvudzijena.
At Mvimvi polling station, a polling officer was allowed to vote with a voter's slip but this was not recorded in the protocol register. Follow-ups are being made to verify the report.
At Makumbe School, two council ballot papers with serial numbers 0000481 and 0000568 were found unmarked and had been credited to Toperesu E of MDC.
"At Senate level, an unmarked ballot paper 00100312 was credited to Zvinavashe V M G of Zanu-PF and another unmarked ballot paper 00100215 was credited to Makamure K E of MDC. The presiding officer is being investigated under the Electoral Act," said Asst Comm Bvudzijena.
"At Njiva Primary School two votes had been switched from Zanu-F to MDC for the parliamentary seat. The presiding officer is being charged for contravening Section 174 of the Criminal Code and Reform Act Chapter 9:23 for fraud."
Police are investigating a number of ZEC officials following some discrepancies.
Innocent Chumunhu is being investigated for failing to account for four votes cast in ward 23 at Muchechetere Primary School in Zaka.
Tasunungurwa Munumbi is also being investigated for fraud after the register had been found with an excess of 94 votes.
Asst Comm Bvudzijena said 345 people had been cancelled in the voters' roll while 25 had been registered in the protocol register.
"Tobias Changara was arrested for switching two Zanu-PF presidential ballot papers to MDC while three ballot papers could not be accounted for. Emmanuel Chezhara was arrested for switching two Senate ballot papers and one presidential vote from Zanu-PF to MDC.
"Two others, Alexander Jaya and Saviour Mapfumo are being investigated for inconsistencies in the number of voters cancelled in the register against the votes cast," he said.

No one has commented yet.
we arent a couple but it sure seemed like it for the shit we have been through.
"Old Married Couple" is our title.
i made my decision, we need a break from each other. this is the tough transistion period from high school life to being adults now. i miss him like hell but it has been on my mind. at first i was just going to dissappear off the face of this earth with him, but ihave tried that but that didnt work out as well as just telling him that i wont be talking to him again. last time that happened he came running back to me. so i wonder whats going to happen this time.
my mom told me earlier today that hes like a guardian angel for me. hes always been there for me. and another friend told me that hes going through a phase and that he loves me (like a best friend) and that he'll get through whatever hes going through.
i hope he does, because life is almost hopeless and worthless without him.

USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson
Original recipe yields 6 servings
Amount per serving ({{servings}} total)
Based on a 2,000 calorie diet
My family loved this recipe. I doubled the amount of curry and added shredded carrots and sliced zucchini, as well as eliminating the tomatoes. Very versatile, great one dish meal.
i was looking for a bit of a change from the chicken curry i usually make. this proved to be really delicious and i also threw in a diced chili for some heat.
Very, very good. I followed the recipe to a T....only added the cilantro to the dish while cooking. (I do this all the time....dried from Penzeys Spice Company). Thank you for sharing!

Using Infrared Thermography for Building Diagnostics
Most building inspections involve some type of visual assessment. If there are no obvious signs or symptoms of problems or failure, the homeowner is often left with good grades on a home that is not deserving.
This not only causes confidence issues for the inspector but can also cause a future loss of business if problems or failures are not detected. Destructive testing is a costly and damaging endeavor, but may be required for a definitive answer. Now, infrared thermography is a much better solution. Infrared imaging is non-destructive, it is accurate and much faster in pin pointing anomalies within a building.
Infrared thermography can be used in many applications to diagnose a building's envelope integrity including insulation, air leakage, moisture (mold), electrical, heating and cooling problems, construction defects. Thermal Imaging can also qualify or quantify if there are specific assembly materials added as specified by a specific trade contractor. Each of these applications can be more easily and effectively assessed by using non-destructive infrared thermography.
Thermal Camera Applications
Insulation Example 1: Infrared image of missing insulation on the ceiling below an open balcony in a brand new house. The structure was drafty by the exterior wall where this image was taken. The infrared image easily demonstrated the insufficient insulation in the ceiling space, which created the air leakage.
Example 1: missing insulation in the ceiling. Note the cold air also flowing down the wall
Wet Insulation on Flat Roof Example 2: An infrared image of wet insulation under a single-ply flat roof which was leaking. Infrared scans of roofs are generally done after sun down and in light to no wind conditions. Moisture holds in the heat from the day time sun longer than the structure and insulation, showing as hot spots within the infrared camera.
Example 2. Infrared image of moisture seeping into the insulation on a single ply flat roof.
Heat, Air and Energy Leakage Example 3: During an energy audit, this image shows warm air escaping from the corner of the house. Infrared cameras are more often used during energy audits in conjunction with blower doors. Blower doors create negative pressure within the structure allowing the infrared thermal camera to easily identify air intrusion from the interior of the structure. Often blower doors are used in conjunction with duct blower systems.
Example 3. Air leakage during an energy audit inspection.
Water Leak in a Radiant Floor System Example 4: Infrared cameras can easily diagnose radiant floor leaks and damage. During normal diagnostics of radiant systems very costly destructive tests are normally used. An infrared camera will pinpoint the location where repairs are needed, or moisture damage to other components of the structure that have occurred.
Example 4. Broken radiant floor system pipe
A/C System Cooling Problems and Condensation Example 5: An infrared image taking from a FLIR thermal camera of a non-performing A/C system. This particular system was not working at 100% efficiently and was also causing condensation moisture leaks in the basement. Those leaks caused moisture penetration in the surrounding drywall, which was also identified by the infrared camera.
Example 5. Inefficient A/C system.
Moisture penetration and mold Example 6: Stucco wall with moisture penetration. Throughout the years, the home owner had many patches done by a stucco contractor. The patches were inadequate and allowed moisture to penetrate the structure, potentially leading to mold.
Example 6. Infrared image of stucco patches that allowed moisture intrusion
Poor insulation job during a fire restoration Example 7: Missing insulation inside the ceiling of a house. This house had recently been restored by a contractor after some fire damage. The second floor was mostly rebuilt. After the restoration, the bedrooms became very drafty. An infrared inspection diagnosed that the contractor's insulation job was very poor.
Example 7. Missing insulation after fire damage restoration
Summary These are only a handful of applications that infrared inspections and thermal cameras can be used effectively in. In competitive industries, the infrared camera can give foam contractors, home inspectors, roofers, HVAC companies, and many other trades a huge advantage. Use of thermal imaging as a diagnostic tool up front and a quality control tool when the work is completed can certainly become the differentiating factor over your competition.
Thermal camera inspections can even become a stand-alone business. It is SprayFoam.com's prediction that infrared analysis will become a standard "before and after" job duty in the foam insulation and roofing markets.

Due to unveil the Honor 7 on June 30, the Chinese mobile phone maker will try to top the Honor 6 and compete with top dog Apple.
Google's new Android M operating system will not only let users open their devices with a fingerprint, it also gives developers free rein to bundle fingerprint-sensing in their apps.
Android M will include full fingerprint sensor support, including Android Pay.
The feature would allow developers to bake fingerprint sensing into their applications and Google to use it freely across Android.
The S6 and S6 Edge smartphones both have a vastly improved fingerprint reader, making this feature a must to set up and use on your new device.
Samsung's fingerprint scanner can now be used for more than just unlocking your phone.
The fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge can do more than just unlock your phone.
Motorola President Rick Osterloh also doesn't like e-ink for the Moto 360 smartwatch.
Vkansee has a working model of an optical fingerprint sensor that it claims is more accurate and secure than the competition.
Clean or dirty, wet or dry, this highly tuned fingerprint scanner promises to outdo Apple's ho-hum tech with a far higher resolution.

Dear Scott:
With summer on the way my husband and I have started arguing again over whether our 7 and 9 year boys should be allowed to ride their bikes on the street. We live on a cul-de-sac with limited traffic but it still frightens me to death. My husband claims he was allowed to ride blocks away from his house and believes they are old enough to be given a little freedom. Please help me convince him this is a really bad idea. Or am I a crazy Mom?

By Denise Brandenberg
Dallas Local Expert
Whether you want to party like a rock star and mingle with local celebrities and athletes, or you're looking for a romantic venue to set the mood, Dallas has all types of nightlife options. Beer lovers will enjoy visiting one of many local pubs, such as the Old Monk and Libertine Bar, which feature hundreds of imported beers on tap, complete with delicious pub fare. If you enjoy fine wines, choose from one of many laid-back, local wine bars with quality sommeliers that can help you choose the perfect glass (or bottle).
If you love live music, you can visit the Deep Ellum and Greenville Avenue areas where you can rock out all night. Electronica and hip hop lovers can also find several hot clubs that feature music and dancing. Visitors who want a taste of Texas can go to Fort Worth to the famous Billy Bob's Texas or catch an eclectic country-and-western-meets-rockabilly scene at Adair's Saloon in Deep Ellum.

Choose from the best nightlife spots in Dallas for your trip by reading trusted expert and user reviews.
10 Cosmo's
A unique sense of style characterizes this popular watering hole near Lakewood Landing. You won't find frat boys or the yuppie types here - Cosmos is where hipsters and laid-back twenty-somethings go to kick back and drink with friends. Its vintage decor boasts a collection of funky items apparently found at yard sales, including groovy lamps, a faux fireplace, and kitschy furniture. The result is an environment refreshingly conducive to chatting. Of course, a place this cool isn't without its own brands of sustenance, and Cosmo's specialty martinis and gourmet pizzas have won over more than a few 20-something patrons. (214-826-4200)
9 Double Wide Bar
"Quirky" barely skims the descriptive surface of this Dallas bar, which has all the style and charm of a mobile home. Don't let the kitsch drive you away though, because Double Wide promises to be one of the more memorable nightspots you'll visit in the Big D. And while the decor is certainly trailer-park, there's nothing trashy about the scene, even if the place does serve cold suds by the can and televise dizzying clips of tornados ravaging small towns. On Friday and Saturday nights, cutting-edge country and rock acts take to the stage; other nights, DJs are on call. (214-887-6510)
8 Library Bar
Located in the Warwick Melrose Hotel in the Oak Lawn neighborhood, Library bar is classy and elegant. It has a traditional decor, complete with dark woods, comfortable sofas, upholstered chairs, and stately bookshelves lined with classic titles. Guests enjoy quiet conversation while listening to the melodies of the house pianist and saxophone player and nibbling on tasty hors d'oeuvres from the hotel's prestigious restaurant, Landmark. While Library Bar is a popular spot for Downtown, Uptown and Highland Park residents, it's never too crowded, so you'll always be able to find a seat to enjoy your night out on the town. Happy hour is Monday through Friday, 5pm-7pm. (214-224-3152, 214-521-5151)
7 Balcony Club
Live jazz and a romantic, intimate ambience set the stage for an evening at the Balcony Club, located in the historic Lakewood Theatre in the laid-back Lakewood neighborhood. A mixed clientele, from young professionals to students, sip martinis and listen as throaty jazz singers croon their favorite melodies. On some nights, the live bands play reggae, while on others they play alternative rock. A small outdoor patio, comfortable booths and an assortment of stools and tables provide ample seating, and there's plenty of room enough for standing and mingling. The full bar also provides a nice selection of single malt scotches. (214-826-8104)
6 Round-Up Saloon
Two-stepping, tight denim, and 10-gallon hats attract Big D's best-looking cowboys to this country-western bar, which caters to a mostly gay clientele. Chipping in on the joint's popularity are great drink specials (Margarita Madness on Mondays, 22-oz. drafts for three bucks - every day - and a calendar full of fun weekly activities like karaoke, line dancing (lessons are free), and Friday and Saturday's Howdy Hour. Of course, the top crowd pleasers are "duded-up" events like Miss Gay Round Up, Miss Cinco de Mayo, and the Switch-Hitters Ball. If you want to experience a unique Texan gay bar, this is THE spot to go. (214-522-9611)
5 Granada Theater
Located in the heart of Greenville Avenue, where the fun begins!, the Granada Theater is a Dallas institution. This performance and concert venue has been around since 1946 and is one of Dallas' premiere live music spots. There are live performances and shows throughout the week in this beautiful theater. Visitors will be wowed by the ceiling mural and architectural elements that have been restored to their early glory. Most concerts offer wait service, including cocktails and food, to the seats, as well. It is definitely an upscale version of a concert, perfect for adults who want to enjoy a live show with modern conveniences. (214-824-9933)
4 Old Monk
Old Monk, with its great assortment of beers and its full bar, has built a steadfast reputation as a great place to begin an evening or a nighttime adventure. The kitchen serves sandwiches (including a great roast beef version), along with nachos, fish and chips, and steamed mussels - their specialty. If you're not that hungry, share a delicious cheese plate - complete with crackers and fruit - with your little group. At the Old Monk, you can play one of many communal board games, hang out with friends at a dart board, or people-watch on a perfect patio with a great view of Knox Henderson add to the appeal. (214-821-1880)
3 Libertine Bar
This Dallas bar serves upscale pub grub with a side dish of live music and weekly rotating draughts. Menu items include standards like burgers and salads served alongside sweet potato frites, mussels, and a few unexpected dishes like the popular cheese board, Muenster fries and pork tacos. Other popular - and unexpected - menu items include seared ahi tuna burger and duck confit salad. The best part about the great menu is that you can get recommendations of imported beers to pair with them! Nightly specials include half-priced food on Tuesdays and a Sunday brunch. Want to step it up a notch? Hit the Libertine for one of the monthly five-course beer dinners. (214-824-7900)
2 Grapevine Bar
The eclectic crowd that frequents this light-hearted watering hole is composed of folks from all walks of life. Highland Park socialites rub elbows with local drag queens, and if you're not a twenty-something, you won't feel like a parent busting your teenager's party. The Grapevine Bar's patrons are attracted by theme nights (drag shows tend to draw the most boisterous crowds), a rooftop patio, a backyard hoops court, and billiards. When you factor in cozy furniture and a laid-back vibe, it's easy to see why so many people consider Grapevine Bar to be Oak Lawn's rec room. Helping the place's popularity are fantastic specialty drinks and a jukebox that plays mp3s. (214-522-8466)
1 Adair's Saloon
Although Deep Ellum arguably functions as Dallas's cutting-edge district, parts of it maintain a long-standing commitment to simpler times. Take, for example, a honky-tonk like Adair's, which has been popular since 1963. The digs (in the early days, it was on Cedar Springs Road) and faces may have changed over the years, but other aspects haven't. Adair's remains a rustic haven for folks who like to swill brew, listen to live music, and munch on good burgers. For history buffs, too, the joint holds an allure, courtesy of a jukebox loaded with classics by Hank Sr. and Bob Wills, along with hundreds of framed photos and graffiti. (214-939-9900)

Should U.S. Military Intervene in Syria?
Robert Lorei
Radioactivity: Live Call-In (Wednesday) | Listen to this entire show:
Today on Radioactivity Rob Lorei talks about the recent escalation in tensions between the US and Syria. The Associated press is reporting that Anti-regime activists in Syria say members of a U.N. team of chemical weapons experts have been working today in a large Damascus suburb that was affected by last week's alleged chemical attack. Today's visit is the second by the U.N. inspectors to areas that were said to have been targeted by the attack. The visit comes as the U.N.'s envoy to Syria says evidence suggests that some kind of "substance" was used in the attack. According to the group Doctors Without Borders, 355 people were killed. Syria, which has one of the world's largest stockpiles of chemical weapons, is denying the charges that it carried out a chemical attack. Still, the U.S. and its allies appear to be moving toward a military strike on the Assad regime.
Policy Director of Just Foreign Policy Robert Naiman speaks with Rob Lorei about the Syrian Crisis. Naiman recently wrote the article "President Obama: Don't Strike Syria Without Congressional Approval." and a petition he initiated has over 13,000 signers in the last 24 hours.comments powered by Disqus
85,000 killed so far in Syria by conventional weapons of modern warfare. Just don't use gas. For the men, women and children bleeding out after having limbs blown off, they must be thankful it was death by an approved method. We really need to disengage from the middle east and focus on our own problems

Some 1,500 Israeli Arabs protested in Lod on Tuesday against government policies which affect Israel's Arab sector, launching the events of Land Day, to be marked on Wednesday.
The protesters were demonstrating against the government demolition of the houses of the Abu Eid family, which left some 50 family members, 30 of them children, without a home.
The protesters raised Palestinian flags, carried signs reading "Enough with the Ethnic Cleansing" and burned pictures of Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman.

Rwanda Correctional Services (RCS) will early next month conduct a nationwide exercise aimed treating eye diseases among inmates incarcerated in different prisons in the country.
In an interview with The New Times yesterday, Emmanuel Rukundo, who is in charge of social affairs and human rights at RCS said the programme will be implemented through cooperation with Kanombe Military Hospital in all the 13 prisons across the country.
"The exercise is part of our obligations of ensuring the inmates remain healthy. We have so far received over 2,000 cases of inmates complaining of eye ailments," said Rukundo.
He added that they enlisted the support of the military hospital because of the vast experience in specialised treatment and providing outreach health services.
He said that the exercise will begin on August 6 at Kigali Central Prison commonly known as 1930 before being extended to other prisons countrywide, expected to go on for a whole month.
The official added that after the diagnosis, those with serious eye diseases will undergo operation whereas others with minor illness will be given medicine, depending on their status.

Narragansett, RI -- May 30, 2002 -- A team of scientists from seven nations has just finished the first ocean drilling expedition ever to be dedicated to the study of the deep biosphere. One of the leaders of the voyage, URI Graduate School of Oceanography geologist Steven D'Hondt of East Greenwich remarked, "This cruise was a tremendous success. It taught us a great deal about life beneath the seafloor."
Other members of the expedition from GSO included geological oceanographer Arthur Spivack of Jamestown, biological oceanographer David C, Smith of Wakefield, and Ph.D. candidate in geological oceanography Kathryn Ford of Narragansett.
The Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) drillship "JOIDES Resolution" left San
Diego for this expedition, known as ODP Leg 201, in late January and returned to shore in Valparaiso, Chile, at the end of March 2002. The shipboard scientists were led by co-chief scientists D'Hondt and Bo Barker Jorgensen, from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology (Germany), and staff scientist Jay Miller, from Texas A&M University (USA). The ship worked in water depths ranging from 150-5300 meters to drill into oceanic sediments and the underlying rocky crust. These sediments ranged in temperature from 0°C to 25°C and in age from 0 to almost 40 million years. The sites were selected to represent the general range of subsurface environments that exists in marine sediments throughout most of the world's oceans.
Earlier studies of marine sediments had found microbial cells to be ubiquitous in deep-sea sediments. However, almost nothing was known about the nature of those deeply buried cells, the extent of their activity, and their relationship to life on Earth's surface.
The recent expedition found evidence of active life in all of the explored marine sediments. The shipboard scientists also discovered that the life buried in these sediments is fueled by chemicals that migrate down from the overlying ocean, by chemicals released by the degradation of the surrounding sediment, and by chemicals that migrate up from the underlying rocky crust. To the extent that this microbial life relies on degradation of the sediment that surrounds it, its ongoing activity depends on the oceanographic conditions that prevailed when the sediment was deposited, millions of years ago.
During the leg, scientists found microbial abundances and activity to be much higher in sediments buried on the continental shelf of Peru than in sediments of the open Pacific Ocean. The open Pacific sites with the lowest rates of deeply buried microbial activity contained the lowest average microbe concentrations ever observed in deep-sea sediments. In contrast, some of the sediments recovered on the Peru Shelf contained the highest concentrations of microbes ever observed beneath the seafloor. At one Peru Shelf site, microbes were actually less abundant at the seafloor than in a narrowly focused zone of high activity tens of meters beneath the seafloor.
The microbes will be studied further to document the genetic relationships between the life forms of Earth's surface and subsurface worlds. The recovered sediments and fluids will also be studied further to determine how biogeochemical processes deep beneath the seafloor affect Earth's surface world.
The Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) is an international partnership of scientists and research institutions organized to study the evolution and structure of the Earth. It is funded principally by the US National Science Foundation, with substantial contributions from its international partners. The Joint Oceanographic Institutions manages the program. Texas A&M University is responsible for science operations, and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University is responsible for logging services.

350 Lamborghinis in 13 minutes at firm's anniversary tour [video]
Miura remains our favorite
YouTube user Shmee150 has managed to grab on camera all 350 Lamborghinis which are part of the company's 50th anniversary tour.
60 of those cars are Aventadors (including several Roadsters), a bunch of Murcielago LP670 SVs, LP650 Roadsters, along with just about all versions of the Gallardo (including Blancpain and Super Trofeo Stradale).
Needless to say, the Lambo fleet also includes classics such as the beautiful Miura, Diablo and the radical Countach. There are also several custom and tuned cars developed by Liberty Walk in Japan.
As you would imagine, Lamborghini owners gathered from all over the world to this event, including regions such as United States, Japan, Hong Kong and Europe.

strange a lambo murci sv without a spoiler @ 2.51. I dont think taking the spoiler of the SV is really low key. Maybe the owner just didnt like it.
May 10, 2013 6:47 am
That 640 roadster kitted out in an SV attire is most alluring though....
May 9, 2013 5:11 pm
Diablo 6.0 VT and the LP640 remain the ultimate expressions of Lamborghini imo. Respect and awe at Miura is boundless.

Bill O'Reilly: If Hillary Clinton wants the Democratic presidential nomination, 'she's got it'Add to Favorites | Katie
Bill O'Reilly is sitting down with Katie Couric Wednesday (Oct. 30) on "Katie," where he talks about the field for the 2016 presidential election.
"Hillary Clinton's gonna run on the Democratic side, she's already raising money. ... If she wants it, she's got it," says O'Reilly. "She's already buying those pantsuits like crazy. She's got like 20 of them lined up to go."
Couric gently ribs him for the pantsuit comment, saying that's OK as long as he's also commenting on what the Republican nominee is wearing.
O'Reilly jokes, "I don't know what those people are wearing. They're not gonna be wearing pantsuits, though."
But he does say the Republican field looks quite a bit wider than the Democratic field.
"On the Republican side, you have three or four who are raising money right now -- Christie raising money, you got Rubio in Florida raising money, Rand Paul raising money and you got some governors floating around," says O'Reilly. "A guy like [Ted Cruz], he made a name for himself, but the Wall Street guys who fund all this on the Republican side, they're not gonna go for him."
Below, O'Reilly talks about his past as a history teacher -- "I was the original Mr. Kotter, I walked in with long hair and all this. But I knew I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life. ... Teaching is really a noble, noble profession. TV is the lowest rung, but I had this goal to see the world, which I did."
"Maybe after I retire, I'll go back and terrorize the kids," he jokes.

North Dakota governor hopefuls clash on oil boom in debate
Sen. Ryan Taylor, D-Towner, who is trying to unseat Republican Gov. Jack Dalrymple, repeating what has been a refrain of his campaign, argued that state government's response to date has been lacking, resulting in Oil Patch residents bemoaning the loss of their quality of life.
Dalrymple, who served earlier as lieutenant governor and on a key budget committee in the Legislature, touted his experience and the billions of dollars the state is spending on infrastructure improvements.
The candidates squared off in a debate co-sponsored by AARP that aired Friday evening on Prairie Public television stations around the state. The issue of infrastructure investment came in response to a question of how best to spend the state's projected $1.6 billion surplus.
Taylor argued that more money should be left for local governments to decide directly how to meet their needs, rather than to go to Bismarck for distribution as impact grants.
Dalrymple said the oil impact funds are flowing quickly to communities, sometimes within 30 days, and touted his $2.5 billion infrastructure plan for roads, housing and other public works.
Both candidates support additional property tax relief, but differed over the details. Ryan's approach would include relief for renters, while Dalrymple also proposes reductions in the state's individual income tax.
When the discussion focused on the oil and gas boom, the two gubernatorial candidates again differed over their public works spending proposals.
Dalrymple noted that the current budget devotes
$1.2 billion to rebuilding roads and other infrastructure, including money for county and township roads. The governor said he proposes another $2.5 billion in statewide infrastructure improvements in the next two-year budget.
"This response is taking place right now," Dalrymple said.
Taylor countered, "There's certainly some big numbers, but they're not big enough." Instead of "bragging about surpluses," he added, officials in Bismarck should be allowing more money to remain in the 17 oil and gas counties wrestling with impacts.
Taylor said at least 40 percent of the impact aid should stay in the communities so the communities do not have to come "hat in hand" to ask for a grant in 12 or 18 months "after the damage is done."
Impact funds flow quickly to the Oil Patch, Dalrymple responded. "We are sending out money on a very prompt basis. It's an excellent way to address immediate impacts."
Each candidate was asked to list his priorities, with infrastructure again emerging as a theme.
"Infrastructure investment is key in North Dakota, throughout our state, not just in western North Dakota," Dalrymple said, noting that the state must distinguish between one-time investments and ongoing needs.
The governor said he is proposing $400 million in additional property tax relief, as well as cutting the statewide school levy in half, which would take additional pressure off local property taxes.
Taylor said his top priority will be "protecting and preserving the quality of life in North Dakota," which he said has been upended by the oil and gas boom.
The crime rate has tripled in areas as a result, the challenger said, but the number of crime fighters has not.
Taylor said he also would revamp college loan programs, saying the average North Dakota student graduates with $25,000 in student loans.
In response, Dalrymple said he was the author of a 2009 boost that increased financial support to allow 2½ times as many students to participate, and introduced $6,000 merit scholarships.

Unwritten Rules
We got up at 4:45 yesterday morning. We had some cattle to sort and needed to be horseback by daylight. We were all a little…on the sleepy side.
I forgot to bring my coffee and what I've found is, Diet Dr. Pepper does not do the trick at 5:30 a.m. That carbonation is pretty tough to take while I'm still in REM sleep.
We plowed ahead, though, riding off into the sunrise to gather the pasture of pairs.
What's a pair, you ask? Don't worry, I still forget sometimes. A pair is a cow with its calf.
Ahhh. There was just something about yesterday morning. It was so peaceful. So serene. Until…
Pesky Tim's horse decided he was going to give Tim a little trouble.
He's a good horse, but he was feeling fresh and punchy yesterday. And the truth is, sometimes horses just want to buck. Heck, if Tim were on MY back at 5:30 a.m., I'd try to buck him off, too.
There are lots of unwritten rules for a cowboy. For instance, while horseback, you never cut in front of another cowboy. You cut in front of one of the old-time cowboys and they just might yank you off your horse and kick a lung out of you, from what I've been told. Another rule is, if a cowboy gets off his horse to open or close a gate, you don't ride off and leave him there. (It just ain't nice, I tell ya). And another rule: If your horse wants to buck first thing in the morning, you don't pull up his head and stop him. Nope, instead you give him his head (let down the reins), give him a good spurring, and let him go ahead and get it out of his system.
Tim must be a good cowboy, 'cause that's exactly what he did.
Problem was, he almost took Cowboy Tyler and his horse along with him.
Oh, and then Tim's horse started barreling, full force, toward the barbed wire fence. Another unwritten cowboy rule: Umm, you don't want your horse throwing you into a barbed wire fence. It isn't good.
Luckily for Tim, his horse turned just in the nick of time. And I wish I had a recording of all the other cowboys' reactions so you could experience it as I did. It was a delightful combination of "Oh, Shit!" "You show him, Tim!" and uproarious cowboy laughter. I love it when cowboys laugh.
There. The horse got it out of his system. And I think Tim's heart got a little workout.
Afterward, we all went back to the business of the morning as if nothing had happened.
And just to get it out there, I'm not a cowboy. Now, I may follow the unwritten rule not to cut in front of another cowboy, just 'cause I don't really want a lung kicked out of me. And I may wait for a cowboy opening a gate. But if a horse I'm sitting on so much as thinks about bucking, I will do whatever I can to prevent it from happening. First, I'll pull up on his reins, since horses really can't buck very well if their head is up high. Second, I'll scream bloody murder for Marlboro Man to come get me off this godforsaken horse. Third, I"ll move back to Los Angeles, where the only thing I'll be expected to ride is a bitchin' wave. Fourth, I'll go to Starbucks and get a Venti Half-Caf Cappuccino and call it a day.

So after your kids go a-musterin', do they go to school? And I know you said you don't ride much, so do you run along behind everyone on their horses and take photos(you must be a fast runner)?
patty On Saturday, May 12 at 6:50 am
I'm with you Ree, I like my horse to have at least one foot on the ground at all times! Wooo Hoooo! Go cowboy Tim!
Lisa in MI On Saturday, May 12 at 6:50 am
Ree ~ This probably sounds ridiculous, but in looking at these pictures, I can absolutely *HEAR* what that morning sounded like!
This particular group of pictures not only envoked my visual stimulation (uh oh), but they really called for my sense of hearing to engage! Awesome…
OK…enough profundity for the morning. Back to Spongebob…
The Farmers Wife On Saturday, May 12 at 6:52 am
OK – that right there is why I don't ride horses.
Linds On Saturday, May 12 at 6:53 am
Your plan for when your horse tries to misbehave sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Except the screaming. I think I would start with that one!
metalmom On Saturday, May 12 at 6:58 am
"If Tim were on your back at 5:30 am you'd buck him off" ? ANY of your cowboys at 5:30 am would be welcome to … wait, 5;30 is too early. Never mind. Love your posts.
joann in Texas On Saturday, May 12 at 6:59 am
i guess this is how they get their practice in for rodeo time?
julia On Saturday, May 12 at 6:59 am
Okay only one thing to say… Thats hot!!!
Seriously the fact that he stayed on the horse has made me fall in love with pesky Tim…
Jennie On Saturday, May 12 at 7:00 am
The Farmer's Wife said it for me. My bestest friend in the whole wide world rode horses her whole life and I think I accompanied her once…and rode a Shetland pony…who did not obey me. My friend nearly *laughed* a lung out. Great pictures Ree, it looks so beautiful.
Ann Butler On Saturday, May 12 at 7:12 am
who can blame the poor horse…you got him up at 4:45 for God's sake…he wanted to go back to bed!
Fun post…loved the pictures…if MM would come save me, I might just encourage a little bucking from time to time :0)
tongue in cheek On Saturday, May 12 at 7:20 am
That is why I ride a bike.
Ree, I always can count on your blog to give me a good ride into the day. Thank you for your very entertaining blog, and for doing so each day, that is a feat in itself, bucking horse or not!
Darla On Saturday, May 12 at 7:22 am
We have a quarter horse *pony* that dh made me get on once (trying to get this "thing" about horses that I have taken care of). She was laughing at me. Dh never let go of the reins, just walked us around. She didn't make a sound, but she was laughing at me I could tell. She "stumbled" at one point (yeah, right), which made me yelp and grab for dh. And made her laugh all the more inside (I'm pretty sure I heard dh giggle — silently of course — too). A couple of days later, she nipped me on the arm (ouch!). I've given her a wide berth since then. Me-with-horses is like you-with-chickens. I need an LB.
Hey, in that second to last picture: What's that in the background (back in the mist/fog)? Oil thingies? Cell towers? Something ranch-ish?
kim-d On Saturday, May 12 at 7:29 am
Oooh, that sky! Oooh, those cowboys and horses! Oooh, Pesky Tim being Master of His Horse! I am right there with metalmom who said THAT'S HOT! In fact, I just couldn't help but think about how good Josh and his long legs would be in that situation. Oooh, good visual for me!
I love you, Ree. I want to be your much-much-older sister. And Wetsy, too. And also Mike. And maybe even The Other Brother that we don't know quite as much as Mike, but who must be okay because he is your brother. And, if I was your much-much-older sister, I would also get Gee and GaGa. And MM for a brother-in-law. Okay, getting weird now. Still love ya, though!
Have a joyous day-before-Mother's Day!
Miz Booshay On Saturday, May 12 at 7:33 am
Holy poop!
Who needs aerobics to kick start the ole ticker!?
And tell me you weren't thinkin,
'thank you, Pesky Tim's horse, for the fab blog material :o)'
And for Pesky Tim: YEEHAW!
Donna W On Saturday, May 12 at 7:37 am
Although I ride almost every day, I don't allow horses I ride to buck, either. In fact, I don't even let them canter or run. That's how big a coward I am. I'm old and I break easily.
hana On Saturday, May 12 at 7:43 am
Ree, I like the picture of your daughter in pink yawning! It brings home to me your comment about being sleepy…really helps illustrate it well and cutely! (I don't think many of us would make a good sleepy picture at that time in the morning as your daughter! Even with our Starbucks! )
I think you'd agree that LA drivers could learn a bit about courtesy from cowboys, huh? But both will do the rubbernecking thing when what we're riding goes astray, huh?
Happy Mother's Day, Ree and all the mothers out there!
Susan On Saturday, May 12 at 7:45 am
Awesome! Soo cool that you got those pictures!
Panders On Saturday, May 12 at 7:50 am
What time does everyone go to bed in order to get up so early every morning? Does everyone take a nap later in the day?
Me Too On Saturday, May 12 at 7:56 am
Cowboys and Bikers: if it didn't kill you it was damn funny. Even if it killed ya it may still be funny.
carla On Saturday, May 12 at 7:57 am
wow, great pics so early in the morning! Good for Tim, hanging in there. I, like you, would have been off in a second and called it a day. I guess Tim's horse figured out pretty quickly that it didn't have Tim's 'number'.
Eliz. On Saturday, May 12 at 8:02 am
I'm so impressed that you were able to capture the bucking incident in such detail! This is truly fascinating for someone unfamiliar with your world.
Dana In RI On Saturday, May 12 at 8:12 am
Great pics – love the one of your second born yawning too. Perfect statement of how everyone must be feeling. Although MM never looks tired in any of those pre-dawn moments – is he used to it after all these years? I took horseback lessons as a kid, loved it until it became all about jumping. I didn't care about jumping over a fence, I just wanted to ride. Do you guys ever ride for pleasure or is it only when you are working?
You'd think I could have thought of all these questions before you did the "Ask P-Dub post!"
Tammy On Saturday, May 12 at 8:13 am
Wow! I do like the way you weave your stories and pictures. Wish I'd found you to read sooner! This is awesome!
Kay On Saturday, May 12 at 8:14 am
I love horses but my riding experience is very limited. So I'm with you! I'd be getting off as quick as possible. I was riding a barrel horse many years ago and didn't realize that going too close to a piece of farm equipment was not wise. I'm so glad I had on brand new jeans. The springtooth blade cut the top threads and did manage to leave a red mark on my thigh but no cut. Whew!
Tammy On Saturday, May 12 at 8:17 am
Man, can I just come visit??!!!
Kristi On Saturday, May 12 at 8:23 am
When I was younger, my sister and I worked at a horse stable, for FREE, just so we'd get the privilege of riding them for like 15 minutes at the end of the day. One of our favorite's, a pony named Jack, decided he had had enough one day as I was riding him bareback and took off straight back to the barn, only there was a huge oak tree he was heading straight for. Within feet of the oak, he decided to start bucking and off I went with a mighty wallop on my side. That is the only time I've been bucked off and yeah, not something worth repeating.
sweetdoggirl On Saturday, May 12 at 8:23 am
Thanks for explaining what "give him his head" means. I had to stop for a minute and read that a second time (it's early for me).
I could "hear" these pictures too. Really awesome!
I love that in the pic of charging the fence, Pesky Tim's all sitting up straight looking fully in control before he turns. It's really cool.
Strangely enough, these morning pictures have me feeling all frisky too. I can feel the whinny in my throat wanting to come out…so to speak. Think I'll go back to bed.
Gee On Saturday, May 12 at 8:28 am
Little pink girl yawning…and the skies!! You have ushered us into a beautiful day–thanks Ree!! Hope you get breakfast in bed tomorrow…will MM do the blogging?
Jenny in MN On Saturday, May 12 at 8:32 am
A couple of years ago my new neighbor offered to teach me how to ride and to work with her horses. At age 36, I thought – wow, it is about time! While riding (ok walking slowly while on the horses back) down the driveway, my horse decided to turn and go back to the barn. She did what my neighbor called a 'crow hop'. To me… I was sure it was a full blown rear and bucking thingy. I thought I was going to hurl up my heart right there. When I saw the 1st pic of Pesky Tim – I had that same feeling. I'm MUCH better now with the horseys – even managed a canter and that is where the magical horsey thing comes in. I wanted to do that everyday – all day long. Thanks for the great pics and story – as usual…Fabulous.
Pioneer Woman On Saturday, May 12 at 8:39 am
Panders, we definitely go to bed earlier before mornings like these. The kids' heads are on the pillow by eight, M.M. and me by 10:30. (And thank you for the gallery opening night flowers. Beautiful!)
FreeFalling, we homeschool…so these days work pretty well. We work, go home & nap, then do school in the afternoon (if we feel like it. ha!)
Darla—you're right—cell phone towers. We get excellent coverage out here.
Dana, we usually just ride while working. That's usually plenty for everyone!
ashpags On Saturday, May 12 at 8:49 am
Wow! I'm way impressed with PBiL Tim's (apparently) cool head during this early-morning craziness. It reminds me of hydroplaning in a car and how you have to do exactly the opposite of what you want to do. Way to capture all the action Ree! And the pic of Girl Punk yawning is, like everyone else said, so cute.
Remudamom On Saturday, May 12 at 9:15 am
Here's a tip from another non-cowboy girl…pull up on one rein, not both. Stops bucking quickly.
Dianne On Saturday, May 12 at 9:42 am
Your baby punk isn't old enough to ride by himself yet, is he? Is he riding with someone else? And how is his burned hand?
karisma On Saturday, May 12 at 9:45 am
Thanks Ree, for the daily laughs, I especially liked the questions yesterday and the one where you and Hyacinth kicked the kids out to watch Borat, My kids loved that one. Everytime you mention Hyacinth it puts me in mind of the British Sitcom "Keeping up Appearances", Have you ever seen it? Its great for a laugh and Hyacinth will just love her namesake Im sure.
Beth On Saturday, May 12 at 9:57 am
Um…I feel like a real slut asking this, but just wondering if you could do a combined pictoral of your brother and your pesky brother in law Tim?
Sherri On Saturday, May 12 at 10:05 am
Once again, I loved looking at your pictures….wonderful windows into your life. Keep posting them!!!
Macia On Saturday, May 12 at 10:37 am
I guess you are still working the kinks out of that cursing resolve:)
Heidi the Hick On Saturday, May 12 at 10:37 am
Frackin' horses!!! I havne't had a bucker in a long time. My new horse hasn't bucked under saddle ever but is still pretty green for a 6 year old. I'm not a good cowboy though…I don't want to let them buck. I'll yank his head up to my chin to stop him.
I'll say it again- ranch horses sure are hardier than our lawn ornaments. Around here we're expected to trailer our horses in bubble wrap but yours go into the trailer saddled AND BRIDLED! Awesome. I"m going to be spending my summer just telling our two that trailers are our friends.
good post, Ree and happy mother's day!
claudia On Saturday, May 12 at 10:50 am
That was awesome!! I was holding my breath reading/seeing. next question: when are you going to video?
Anisha On Saturday, May 12 at 11:07 am
And that is why I'm content with my city girl, Starbucks drinkin' life! I take my high heels off to ya girl!
Beautiful scenery. The sky is just breathtaking!
Shoot! I think I would be buckin' ANYbody off my back at 5am.
Michelle Baker On Saturday, May 12 at 11:26 am
I'm a morning person, so this post really evoked a lot of cool feelings. My stomach flip-flopped a little, though, when you said you drank DDP instead of coffee. Eeek. That'd have me looking for a bucket. LOVE the blue light of the morning. Love the sound of the cowboys laughing. Did Tim laugh, too?
My husband had to do a "suicide dive" off a horse he was riding bareback once. Our neighbor's horses had gotten out so we helped round them up and point them toward home (just a short mile up a gravel road). Well, since they weren't wearing bridles, my husband thought the quickest way to get them moving toward their house was to hop on one and ride it, and the others would naturally follow. Meanwhile, I'm bringing up the rear in the mini-van, coaxing them down the road. It was quite a spectacle. Anyway, the horses were quite amiable and willing to be guided by us, that is until they caught wind of their barn. The one my husband was on raised up his head and sucked in a big whiff of air, and I could see that it was all over but the crying. He left the relative smoothness of the gravel road and cut across the heavily wooded lot that borders their property, at a full gallop, hell-bent on getting back to his barn. My husband grabbed a handful of mane, pressed his body down on the horse, and kissed his rosary. All the other horses followed, of course, and all I could do was speed down the road and around the corner to get to the barn as quickly as I could. By the time I made it up their driveway, my husband was brushing the dust off and cursing and all the horses were milling around their barn looking like they were wondering what the big deal was. Apparently in his hurry to get home, he ran full speed for the barn, but went through the people door, not the horse door. And the people door doesn't quite accomodate horse AND rider, so my husband thought he'd better jump ship at the last minute, and took at flying header onto the gravel. Ouch.
And he's not even a cowboy.
Tiger Lamb Girl On Saturday, May 12 at 11:42 am
I bet you wished you had a camcorder with you!! Way to ride 'em Tim!
(I know he's married. And I'm happily married and all. But he's still HOT.)
snakeepoo On Saturday, May 12 at 11:46 am
Gotta love a little rodeo first thing in the morning! Those photos of Pesky Tim made my heart go pitter-pat (in a normal non-stalker school-girl crush kind of way)!!
I had to look twice when you said it was Pesky Tim's horse acting up. He's wearing a cowboy hat. Not his trademark ball cap. What's with the change? Is the ball cap in the wash?
Elisabeth On Saturday, May 12 at 12:02 pm
Your story reminded me of a time when we were out riding at a State Park here in Minnesota. We don't have cattle that we have to herd (although it has happened on occasion that my husband and his family have herded his older cousin's cattle from their winter pasture to their summer pasture (across a few gravel roads and one paved road)), but we sometimes go out camping with our horses. I'm always the only girl along on these trips and my horse can be ornery, but he never causes me any real trouble-just doesn't like to be left behind while everyone else is running. Now, my not-so-pesky cousin-in-law, Tim (who's 18), seems to always have issues with his horse while we are out riding. We were running across the prairie and all of a sudden his horse just started kicking and bucking. Tim is a far more experienced rider than I am, but he just flew off of his horse. Nothing got broken or anything and he dusted himself off and got right back up, but his horse just starts dancing all around sometimes. We always just laugh at all of the trouble he gets into. It might have to do with the fact that his horse used to be a barrel-racing horse and I've seen plenty of them have issues-I suppose because they get run sooo hard and then, boom, they're done and have to stop.
Karmyn R On Saturday, May 12 at 12:20 pm
Yup – that is EXACTLY why I am a wuss and don't ride horses. They buck. That is also why I didn't marry a cowboy. (no pun intended)
Lynne On Saturday, May 12 at 12:24 pm
My, you paint a fascinating picture just with your words. (The pictures help out too.)I nearly felt like I was there.
You ought to start charging for working tours of the ranch. I'm sure you could make a bundle. And then you could share with us stories of all the city slickers. It would be lots of laughs.
jean On Saturday, May 12 at 12:32 pm
I love the photo of your daughter. How sweet. And I completely understand why the horses might need to buck every so often. Great shots of that too.
OK, I just have to know more about the calf nuts. I don't get why you do it and while I would love to know how you do it – I think it might be gross and a bit painful. I tried to google it but all I got was your web site! So the next time you answer questions would you please let me know the hows and whys?
Shellster On Saturday, May 12 at 12:52 pm
Happy Saturday, Ree. All I can say is I just get pure delight out of reading your blog. I love the pics and the stories are so great. It's especially fun for a city gal like me to read about a city gal like you becoming countrified while having so many great adventures. Good for you!
Caffienated Cowgirl On Saturday, May 12 at 1:07 pm
Great photos…brings back a LOT of memories. And yes, there is nothing quite like cowboys when they are laughing at each other.
M On Saturday, May 12 at 1:18 pm
Did you give Pesky Tim's horse your Diet DP?
brynn On Saturday, May 12 at 1:48 pm
Do you know that you have an ad for dating married people on your side bar? Yikes! What's that about?
momto3cubs On Saturday, May 12 at 3:04 pm
I bet that woke Tim up better than any Starbucks coffee could!
(Goodness, Ree, there are new folks here everyday!)
Pioneer Woman On Saturday, May 12 at 3:20 pm
Brynn, I saw that ad this morning and immediately blocked it; apparently, their "blocking filter" has a slight delay in taking effect.
Those ads on the sidebar are strictly content driven; I don't choose them individually, but I am able to block objectionable ones, which I do about once a month or so. Usually, the ads are fine—often they're very entertaining—but occasionally one slips through.
Disclaimer: "Pioneer Woman does NOT condone dating married people. Except your own spouse, and then DATE AWAY!"
Did you hear that, TIGER LAMB GIRL?????????? I'll bet you caused that ad to pop up in the first place…you and your sinful thoughts about Tim. Teehee
Hope you're all having a wonderful Saturday.
P.S. I love reading your horse/horse bucking stories.
Emily On Saturday, May 12 at 4:10 pm
This is so much fun. Ree, I love to read whatever you wrote & then read what everybody said about your stories. It's like sitting at a coffee shop and discovering different ways of looking at the same thing. Everyone is so funny & even though I don't know anyone, I feel like I do. I also love it when you add comments to the comments. I always scroll down & look for your name. Your pictures make me sleepy…that early…yuch!
Melissa On Saturday, May 12 at 4:42 pm
I reckon it's worth hauling oneself out of bed at that hour to see those skies, and the entertainment Pesky Tim provided! Golly, imagine what tales Ree's kids will have for their blogs one day!
lisa On Saturday, May 12 at 6:41 pm
Wow, beautiful country there, 'almost' makes me want to leave the beauty here of the rockies. However, I have no sense of direction when there are no landmarks, am afraid I'd spend my time lost ,
of coarse lost in open range would be far better than lost in the woodlands.
Horse's have had their way with throwing me to the ground a time or 2, usually it's been a full flip with a 1/2 twist over their heads.
That was almost as good as going to the rodeo (not Dr.)Ree. Great pic's great stories!!;)
Have an awesome mother's day all you mom's!
Lisa L. from Texas On Saturday, May 12 at 7:05 pm
And to think in the middle of all that drama with Pesky Tim's life in the balance you had the presence of mind to sit calmly and snap pictures…now that my friend is a true photographer! Great drama!!
Scott On Saturday, May 12 at 7:48 pm
This my be a little off subject, but the next thing after gathering pairs is to cut and brand 'em.
Ever thought of posting recipe or two on fixing calf fries? I'd like to know how other people fix thiers compared to mine.
Amy On Saturday, May 12 at 8:09 pm
Hee haw, that was like watching an action film! Thanks for the play-by-play and the pictures. I sure enjoy your posts. Thanks for sharing your life with all of us. This is so much fun!
Shelley On Saturday, May 12 at 10:34 pm
Hi Ree!!…..Love your post and the pictures. Its been years and years since I rode a horse. But I remember being on a horse that was kinda "ornery", to make a long story short. He took off with me racing along right beside a barb wire fence..racing fast towards a cliff. He quickly and sharply turned away from the cliff and was running for the creek with another barb wire fence going across it…?
Heading for the bushes and trees on the other side…not wanting to cross that creek I jumped off. The horse stepped on my leg and I still have the scar to prove it. But I still loved to ride horses after that.
But I learned that some horses will not like you riding them. I tell my kids that story and they always want to see the scar…Anyways…
Happy Mothers Day!!!

The Good Woman On Sunday, May 13 at 2:02 am
Hi Ree
Just found your blog. You're a popular lady and don't seem to need the extra custom but, I fear, you may be stuck with me from now on. I love your blog – the way that you stop just short of confessing your love for your new (well not so new anymore) home.
We move around a lot and I can be like that too. I'm never likely to live in cowboy country so I'll live this corner of the world vicariously through you. Maybe you can visit my corner of Scotland some time. Best be quick though, we'll probably be moving to East Africa soon!
Take care
wizabet, KS On Sunday, May 13 at 5:54 am
Beautiful pictures, Ree. I'm going to bed when you're getting up Have awful insomnia. I thought of you yesterday when I went grocery shopping. We have a Starbuck's in our local supermarket and I was thinking about how much I dislike their coffee and how much I like your ranch and would trade in a minute I think I wrote that in another post? Really, all I could do is sit on the porch and watch, but what a view!
Happy Mother's day!
wizabet, KS On Sunday, May 13 at 6:00 am
My son made your cinnamon rolls and said they were excellent! He wouldn't give me any however (diabetes) so I haven't tasted them yet. I'm going to make my own one of these days dang it! (Just take a little x-tree insulin maybe) Anyway, he gave all but 2 pans away, said no body could resist them once they got tasted! Made his mother-in-law happy ;o)

My parents particularly Mom always said I should marry a farmer or a rancher because I was a country girl at heart. But 4:45 AM I think NOT! I could never have been a rancher/farmer wife at 4:45am. WHY did you have to start at 4;45am? It's cold I'm cranky and just noooooooooooooooooo

This article analyses the liquidation process, challenging the much repeated proposition that secured claimants 'stand outside' liquidation. It is argued that this proposition (i) is a product of a misunderstanding of the dual duality in the nature of liquidation proceedings, in that, in principle, they serve both public and private functions, and they further the interests of both secured and unsecured creditors; (ii) overlooks how secured creditors benefit from liquidation, and also how unsecured creditors have a real interest in the proper administration of their debtor's encumbered assets; (iii) mistakes the secured creditor's choice in usually being able to gain immunity from the liquidation process, for a compulsion to stand exiled from this process; (iv) is incorrect as a matter of history and practice; and (v) is rendered unsustainable by the statutory text. It concludes that secured creditors have never 'stood outside' liquidation, that liquidation is an important tool for the protection of their interests, and that it is right to require floating charge holders to pay their fair share of liquidation expenses.
