There's a lot of news around Apple's record 5 million new iPhone 5's flying out of stores in the first three days. It's a great business story, clearly a technology story and I'm happy to see that more than a few journalists are using it as an opportunity to write about the issue of electronics recycling.
I am not particularly anxious to get my hands on every new gadget that comes along. I am quite happy with the first iPhone I bought almost a year ago– the 4, sans Siri. Yet, even as a pretty restrained technology consumer, there's still a box in the basement full of old Razors, Blackberries and more than a few oddball, decades-old handsets. If there had been the opportunity to easily trade in these phones when they were replaced, I definitely would have done so. A bit of extra cash or credit toward the new contract would be great, but so would the ability to easily get rid of an item that would serve no purpose in the future, can't be thrown away and has no value in a yard sale.
So now that e-recycling is top-of-mind and more and more companies like Sprint are making it simple and worthwhile to trade-in, what really happens to that collection of yesterday's technology? Given today's general rate of phone turnover, the technology considered "old" at trade-in simply isn't that old and there are a lot of folks who would like to have it, especially at a cost much lower than the brand new model. Additionally, many of the individual items turned over are still in good operating condition. The scenario is a lot like trading in a 2008 Accord for a new Acura. The new owner simply wants something newer, a bit flashier, perhaps with more horsepower and an updated GPS. Nothing wrong with that! And there's also likely nothing wrong with that Accord, either, and it will go on to be a fine vehicle for the next owner.
eRecyclingCorps, one of ModusLink's clients and a fellow founding member of the Device Renewal Forum, is putting this concept in action with mobile phones. eRC has a comprehensive program that works with retailers and carriers on trade-in programs and then evaluates, renews or recycles the devices. CNN recently visited ModusLink's Bloomington, IN facility to see the renewal process in action. It may be too late for one of my old flip phones, but it's not too late for your iPhone 4S!

I want to see if there is any interest in eyepiece holders for tripods. I've made a couple recently. They are enjoyable to make and it gives me something to do to pass the time.

Declining graduation rates and increasing student loan debts are topics of concern in Washington.
(WLNS) - Crime Stoppers of mid-Michigan is asking for the public's help in two cases for information and two people wanted for felonies.
The first incident happened Friday night near Michigan State University's campus. Police responded to a fatal shooting in the 200 block of Cedar Street in East Lansing. Police believe the suspect likely suffered significant facial injuries during a struggle.
Pictures of the suspect, who is still at large, have since been released. He's described as a 20-25-year-old black man, around 6'1" to 6'3" and 170 pounds. At the time of the shooting, he was wearing a black hooded North Face winter jacket, tan pants and black shoes.
Anyone with information is asked to call the ELPD Detective Bureau at 517-319-6884.
The second incident happened on January 27 around 4:30p.m. at a coffee shop in the 2000 block of Saginaw in Lansing. Police say two people were having coffee together. When they left, a woman left her purse at the table. When she returned, several valuable items had been taken.
Staff at the shop released surveillance video of two men nearby. The video shows one of the men going through the woman's purse.
If you can identify the men above (captioned coffee larceny), call the Lansing Detective at 517-483-6823.
Two men are also wanted out of Lansing.
Douglas Alan Chandler, 43, has a felony warrant for shoplifting. Chandler is described as a white man, 6' and 240 pounds. He has brown hair and hazel eyes.
Haywood Greenwood III, 39, has a felony warrant for assault. Greenwood is described as a black man, 6'2" and 195 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes.
If you have any information regarding any of the above cases, contact Crime Stoppers at 517-483-STOP.

How Would You Like To Be His Neighbor?
Canadian inventor John Hutchison has had to deal with a few complaints about the state of his New Westminster, British Columbia apartment over the years. But the complaints aren't the usual for this inventor of a non-depleting battery and anti-gravity devices...
He keeps a large collection of Navy surplus equipment on his balcony, which has led to city inspections of his home and outrage from at least one of his neighbors. Some out-of-the-ordinary quotes from Free Energy News about his small apartment and disputes with neighbors:
"John is really quite disenchanted. He's not done much with his stuff for nearly two years now. His apartment is too small. It takes too much effort to get things out to where he can work on them, only to have to put them away again."
"Actually, the stuff out on the balcony is not really the issue with the neighbors", Hutchison said. "When I was doing some filming for FOX news and Griffin Films, neighbors were complaining about items floating in their apartment. At that point, I decided to stop working with the anti-gravity technology and just focus on the energy technology,"
How would you like to be Hutchison's neighbor? Would you be intrigued, annoyed, even afraid?

24 Comments
seriously? anti-gravity? are we just going to gloss this over like it's not unusual to mention it? I'm thinking nobody should give a damn what his neighbors think if he's actually rigged that together (somehow).
If his inventing is so cut edge and successful, why doesn't he have enough money to rent a POD or a storage unit? I would be livid if I had to look at all that crap everyday.
John is "disenchanted?" I beg to differ. That guy is enchanted. Or just crazy.
I wonder if his balcony is structurally sound for all of that heavy equipment. Hmm.
Does he keep a slightly modified DeLorean in the garage?
Items floating in their apartment? I wish they would elaborate & show us a better visual than just his balcony. Apartment Therapy, is there any chance you can arrange a house tour??? A slide show would be fine--but video would be priceless.
Unless he was joking around about the "floating" complaints... yeeeeeeah, no. If any of his inventions had actually managed that then he'd now have more than enough cash to move out of the apartment, what with having broken all the known laws of physics and stuff.
The stuff has a neat, almost sculptural look to it, but I can't imagine living anywhere near him whenever he moved things around to tinker with them. CLUNK. SCRAAAAAAAAAAAAAPE. BANG BANG BANG BANG.
So Canada has a problem with tweakers as well?
I guess I'm looking at this from the safety side more than the aesthetic/nuisance side... if he had a fire in his apartment and couldn't get out the front door, that balcony could be his only means of escape (assuming there aren't any other windows or doors available). And it's completely blocked. And like someone else said here, is the balcony designed to hold that load? Could be a safety issue for the people living below. I haven't clicked on the Free Energy News link yet so maybe these questions are answered there.
He sounds like an interesting guy, but no, I don't think I'd want to live in any of those adjacent apartments.
dont like it....its fugly...
I'd love to be his neigbor.
I would be thrilling to have stuff flloating around my home!!
I got too excited thinking about floating stuobjects..
I meant to say "I would be thrilled to have stuff floating around my home"
I kinda like it, but he's getting to the point where I can see why the neighbors are complaining. :)
It reminds me of the instruments the Whos down in Whoville play--I'm certain there's a floo-floober in there!
The guy who owns this house is a friend of mine - his weekend property in the country is adjacent to ours - and I love his eccentricity. That said, if he was creating a fire hazard through hoarding, that would be a different issue.
I'm a hypocrite: I want the fascinating privilege of driving past it on a regular basis to check out metamorphosis of the mess (and the occasional levitating object?!), but I don't want it next door. Makes me a NIMBY, I suppose...
You dragged this up from 2003?
This guy is nothing more than a nutjob that posts on a website that covers things like Find UFOs, The Apocalypse, New World Order, Political Analysis, Alternative Health, Armageddon, Conspiracies, Prophecies, Spirituality, Home Schooling, Home Mortgages and more, in Rumor Mill News.
As near as I can tell he's incoherent in most of his posts and his blog, but he IS good at asking for money.
ANTI GRAVITY!?! THAT'S AWESOME!!! Yes, I would very much like to be his neighbor.
well, it makes the old sofa on the porch issue seem passe', wouldn't you say?
i'm a new west girl too, and love new west... figures our neighborhood's first mention on a.t. would be of a strange individual. i've driven by his place before, too. not as strange as it seems
Anti-gravity? Yeah, right. I'd be PO'd if I were his neighbor. Like others have said, if he could actually defy gravity, he wouldn't be living in that little apartment surrounded by junk. He's a hoarder.
If it isn't harming anyone else more than the fact that it's an eyesore, this man has the right to do whatever he wants with his balcony. Why does anyone even care? If the majority had the ability to decide what the outside of everyone's living space looks like the world would be a much less interesting place.
Has this guy's name and the words "state institution" ever been used in the same sentence?
I think everybody has a right to their hobbies, and everybody else has a right to not have those hobbies smashed into their faces. It's one thing to be eccentric (I'm being nice) but another to create eyesores that are also dangerous. This reminds me of the (known to be heavily incestuous) family near me who covered the outside of their house with nailed-on stuffed animal toys... I'm not libertarian enough to support their bad taste.
So long as the stuff was all safely secured and the balcony was structurally strong enough to support it all, I wouldn't really care. I'd much rather have an eccentric pack rat for a neighbor than the loud, obnoxious white trash who've invaded my complex.

If you and your boyfriend live separately, should you leave something behind at his place? For instance, let's say you spend the night with him on a Sunday. You'll probably have to get up early Monday morning, rush back to your apartment, and get ready all before work at 8 a.m.
Leaving your things at his place definitely makes life a little less hectic, but is it okay?
Most girls do this anyway, not only for practicality, but also as a way to mark our territory.
(Guys, if you're reading, don't flip out. More than likely, she's not trying to move in.) Men have their own little ways of marking their territory, too, be it putting their arm around you in public or something else.
My boyfriend has a drawer full of stuff that his ex (or exes) left behind. In that drawer are scented lotions, tampons, toothbrushes, razors, etc… and it bothers the hell out of me!
Seeing her stuff in that drawer makes me cringe with jealousy, even though it's over between them. It's the idea that another woman marked her territory in my man's apartment.
Maybe I shouldn't be mad. Besides, I did use all of the tampons she left behind and I most certainly enjoyed using up the Veet on my legs. Still, I am growing weary of finding little remnants of her at his place. Shouldn't he throw that stuff out? Or did he want the next woman (who ended up being me) to know that he'd had something special with another girl?
Of course, he's told me that I can leave stuff over at his apartment.
So far, I've only mustered up the courage to leave a swimsuit and a contact case with contact lens solution—all things I can readily replace at my own expense.
He also has marked his territory at my place. When we first started dating, he wanted to leave his Wii at my apartment. I told him no, but he brought it over a few weeks later as a "surprise". He said he'd leave it for a few weeks, but it's been here for six months. I wouldn't have minded had it been a toothbrush or a few pairs of boxers, but a Wii is upwards of hundred bucks and he'll want to get it back when things are over.
The truth is, I'm uncomfortable with the whole "leaving stuff behind" situation, whether it's on his part or mine.
It's always awkward to get your stuff back and/or return his stuff when you end the relationship. It adds a whole other level of complexity to the painful breakup process.
However, if he did not let me leave my things at his house, I'd be pissed. Naturally, I'd want to know why not. Is there another girl coming over? Does he plan to break up with me soon?
For me, I don't want him leaving his things at my place because I'm always thinking that we might break up at any moment. It's not that I don't love him or that we don't have a great relationship, but I have that "nothing lasts forever" mentality.
I feel like I'm ranting at this point, so I'll cut it short.
Should you leave something behind? That's your personal choice, but never leave something important behind, never leave too much, and never leave something behind too soon. And be respectful of the next girl he dates—don't leave panties or hide love notes.
Don't leave your entire wardrobe, much less your favorite black pumps. Leave small things like shampoo, razors, tampons—things that you can replace for under $10 at your local Walmart and things that will not offend (too much) the next girl he dates.
You can mark your territory at his place with an "x", but sweetie, don't mark his place like a dog and piss everywhere.
Leaving behind something big will alter his personal environment, and he may not be acceptable towards the change. He may not say anything, but inside, it'll be one of those things that drives him crazy.
You should also give the relationship at least four months before you leave something behind. Don't start leaving your stuff there after the first night you spend at his place. It's not acceptable.
If your boyfriend doesn't let you leave stuff at his place, the best thing is not to leave yourself at his place.
There's no excuse for not being able to leave small things, like a toothbrush. So if he doesn't let you leave things at his place, you probably shouldn't be there to begin with.
Don't get angry at him or cause any drama. You never know what his real reason could be. (Do his parents frequent often and they don't approve of girls staying over? Does he share a bathroom with a roommate?)
Instead, make him come over to your place and don't stay at his. Eventually, he'll realize that you're never over at his place anymore and he'll wonder why.
When he asks, just say that you'd love to stay at his place, but it's really hard when you don't have any of your stuff there. Let him know that it'd be nice if you could leave shampoo or a razor. (Note: Don't start off with leaving tampons—it can freak some guys out.) Most of the time, he'll be understanding. If he's not, you should figure out why. Be straight up and ask him, but always remain calm. Don't get upset or show your emotions.
The same is true if you're in a new relationship. Let's say you've dated for four months. He's never said you could leave stuff there, but you want to test the waters a little bit. Will it be okay? How will he react? The easiest thing to do is leave a pink razor in the shower. Then gradually move up to a pink (or purple) toothbrush. Only leave the things you sincerely can't live without while staying with him—like a toothbrush, a razor, and (maybe) conditioner. Don't leave your expense face wash just yet.
After you've left a few things behind and if he hasn't complained, rest assure that your relationship is off to a good start.

Lemon Pasta
Community Recipe from
- 3/4 pound(s) spaghetti (or fettucine)
- 1 whole(s) lemon
- 1 1/2 cup(s) finely grated parmesan cheese (plus extra for serving)
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) black pepper
- 2 1/2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
- 3-5 tablespoon(s) pasta water
- 1 bunch(es) basil
- 1. Boil the spaghetti in salted boiling water, according to package directions.
- 2. Meanwhile, using a microplane grater (if you have one, otherwise use a box grater), grate the zest from the lemon into a large mixing bowl. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl (GP suggests using the grater as a strainer to ensure the seeds don't get into the bowl). Add the 1 1/2 cups parmesan, pepper, pinch of kosher salt and mix in the olive oil to form a wet paste.
- 3. When the spaghetti is cooked, reserve some of the cooking water and add 2 or 3 tablespoons of it to the lemon mixture. Add the spaghetti to the bowl and toss to combine, adding another tablespoon or two of pasta water if needed. Roughly tear in a bunch of basil leaves to taste.
- 4. Serve each portion with a sprinkle of kosher salt, a touch of pepper and a few gratings of parmesan cheese

Remember when I used to write interesting things in this tumblr? Now it's mostly .gifs of Liz Lemon or Louis CK with occasional bitching to no one in particular.
I have met a lot of interesting people at my job. A majority of our participants are either on disability/government assistance or homeless (bummer, as you can imagine). One man, a few weeks ago, was educated, homeless, and a very bad alcoholic. He told us that he drinks 2 and a half pints of vodka every day, until his money runs out around the middle of the month, at which point he starts begging people to buy booze for him and eventually goes into withdrawal and enters a detox program. It was the 19th of the month, and after his session I felt so much sadness and confusion about handing him his cash payment for participating.
My research is about alcohol use and HIV. There are people out there who are drinking heavily on top of multiple contraindicating health problems, and there's nothing in my position that lets me help them. We actually get excited when we find someone with HIV who's a heavy drinker. Clinical work burned me out, but research is disappointing. Heartbreaking at times.
My last participant this week has just moved to America from a large African country. At the beginning of our session he repeatedly said that he didn't like living in the US, and was surprised at how unfriendly Americans are. I reminded him that he's in the Northeast, and that the States are very diverse in terms of culture and education. As we went on with our neuropsychological testing, he began remarking that the schooling that he's received in America leaves his African college experience in the dust. As we went on and the tests became more difficult, for some reason, he warmed up to America more and more. After we did the Stroop test, he said, "I ought to shake the hand of any college graduate in America. You people must work so hard to get what you have and learn what you know." It was the first time that a person from a foreign country has made me feel good about being American. For his sake, I didn't mention that many college graduates in America deserve a gesture much less friendly than a handshake.
Monday is my first day alone at this job. The research assistant I've been shadowing for the summer is finally gone, and I'm just a bundle of nerves. I don't want to fail at this, I don't want to burn out again. I keep thinking that, the more experience I accumulate, the closer I will come to figuring out what to do with my life. The choices ares staggering. You have no idea how often I fantasize about saying a big "fuck you" to my education and ambitions, and just going to beauty school. At this point it's really a toss-up.

Whenever I make a trip to Souk elTayeb in downtown Beirut, I know there is one stop I will make every time: AnneMarie's.
I have had pastries from the best: in Paris at Pierre Hermé or Ladurée or Fauchon. I still prefer Anne-Marie's.
Eggplant pies, banana cream tartes, meat pies or her tartes Tatin are just better.
Because they taste homemade, fresh, with the unmistakable flavor of the finest butter, which permeates her tarts and cakes, sweet and savory.
Maybe it is also the fact that what I long for, deeply, is not some super-sophisticate and intricate pastry, but something that makes me feel like my grandmother is still around and making it just for me.
Anne-Marie is someone who ditched job security in pharmaceutical sales to pursue her passion. She enrolled in pastry school in Paris, France; she worked the grueling twenty-hour days atGèrard Mulot and Sanderens.
The exposure there was crucial: she saw that these great chefs attached a fanatical importance to the quality of raw products, always on the lookout for the absolute best of the best, an approach she has adopted in her craft (for our benefit!). I remember one time as I was looking at her pound cakes, she pointed at the lemon one and said: " You know I just came back from a week on the Amalfi coast and the lemons there were so huge and so tasty, I had to bring some back with me and make these cakes"
Her dedication to her craft is evident when you see her toiling with only one helper; she now has a faithful clientele and could expand, but she maintains that she will always remain an artisan, concerned first and foremost about the quality of her product.
I have tried to analyze why her pastries are so special: one of the reasons has to do with her unabashed reliance on first-grade butter: not margarine, not oil, not samneh (oriental butter). Plain butter. Her crusts are buttery, crunchy (never soggy), her puff pastry unbelievably crispy and heavenly paired with her pastry cream.
I dare you not to swoon after a bite of her silky eggplant pie. I have had to hide her orange pound cake from my son and his buddy in order to keep a few slices to myself.

Women's 8oom
Eunice Jepkoech Sum of Kenya won the women's 800 meters in exciting fashion, edging out home-favorite Mariya Savinova by only 0.42 seconds (1:57.38 to 1:57.80). Brenda Martinez of the United States finished in third at 1:57.91.
Men's triple jump

When you set out to buy your next travel trailer or camper you might consider purchasing a hybrid camper instead of the traditional travel trailer. Hyrbrid campers offer many advantages over traditional travel trailers. Here are some of the things to consider when shopping for a travel trailer or comparing a hybrid trailer to a traditional travel trailer: tow vehicle, trailer weight, fuel economy, features, floor plans, and construction and quality.
Tow vehicle: You must consider your tow vehicle before making your purchase. Obviously, the more weight you tow, the more stress you are placing on the tow vehicle. Many hybrid trailers are built using light weight materials that help to reduce the dry weight of the vehilce. Also, because the hybrid camper is lowered when towing, the center of gravity for your vehicle is lowered allowing more stability when pulling a hybrid camper.
Trailer Weight: Most travel trailers and hybrid trailers are comparable in this area. A few, like the Trail Manor, emphasize their construction because it reduces the overall weight of the trailer. However, the cost associated with producing such a lightweight trailer may not be for everyone. You must weigh all the factors when considering the purchase of your hybrid trailer.
Fuel Economy: Comparing traditional travel trailers to hybrid trailers in this area is not really fair. While most manufacturers of traditional travel trailers do take steps to reduce wind drag, it's a very difficult task. The fact that hybrid and folding campers are below the height of the tow vehicle reduces wind resistance drastically. And because of the added stability (mentioned above) there is less strain on the tow vehicle. This all works to increase fuel economy for towing a hybrid camper.
Features: Hybrid trailers are generally constructed using 'hard shell' contrusction. This allows them to be as portable as a folding camper and yet offer many of the features and amenities of a traditional travel trailer. There's no way we could tell about all the features here but check out the manufacturers websites for details on the many features found in a hybrid camper.
Floor Plans: Believe it or not, the floor plans available for hybrid campers are just as plentiful as the floorplans in traditional campers. Hybrid trailers can range in size from 17' to 33' or more and provide everything from bunk beds to dining areas and fully-enclosed bathrooms.
Quality: Quality of construction is a focus for hybrid camper manufacturers. Because the concept is relatively new, manufacturers are taking special care to build these hybrid trailers with the highest quality materials and construction processes. The result is a product that is built to last.
Hybrid campers are a viable alternative to traditional travel trailers and 5th wheels and provide many benefits to the discriminating camper.
Check out the following manufacturers of Hybrid campers.

Your Brilliant Baby in Week 46: Combining Categorizing and Imitating
What your infant learns this week
Being able to remember, imitate, and then place new objects, events, and actions into already established categories makes learning so much more efficient—your child doesn't need to think each time he sees a picture book, "I wonder what this is for?" Plus, this makes Baby so much more competent as he enters new and ever-expanding environments: friends' and family members' homes, playgrounds, libraries, children's museums, and many more.

My name is Kenneth. I'm from the internet.
Please find enclosed in this here blog some of my writings. These range from poetry to flash fiction to short stories
I only ever post very rough first drafts of what I'm working on because I really like the idea of them existing somewhere other than just my hard-drive in raw form.
It is all personal. I am confused by all of it. I am, of course, Confused By Everything
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
It had long since been discovered
that there was no medical advantage
to human cryogenics.
Death was, and would always be, death:
there was no halting terminal illness.
Freezing a living soul could not prolong
it's life, it would end it entirely.
So why did they freeze her?
She was a young girl, averagely average
and not particularly striking. She had only
been loved once and, even then, not for
long. She liked to wear red a lot.
They found her in a nightclub, drunk,
pilled, and dancing on her own.
They led her to the lab and she fell asleep
and they never let her wake up. They
suspected they knew what would happen,
but they had to pull off those butterfly wings
anyway. A hypothesis is worthless when
there's potential for evidence. But still,
it has to be said because it's ultimately true:
they froze her because they felt like it.
Glancing down your Twitter feed
you're as mental now as you were then.
It's constantly the same old shit,
it only takes four days to loop round again.
So self-mythologising: you're the Earth
and everyone else orbits like the moon,
but naw, you're a fucking carousel
and I couldn't get off too soon.
I am my own fleeting thought,
the abstract picture in the back
of my own brain. I am the final
third of my final pint, the two
paracetamol and the glass of water
I down before bed. I am the books
I don't finish and the songs I turn
off halfway through. I am more the
poems I don't write than the poems
I do. I am my own fleeting thought.
I am more the future I never had
than the experiences I did. I am Tuesday,
not Monday. September, not May.
I am wrestling DVDs and broken
calculators. I am the doors I open and
the windows I close. I am less manufactured
than I am an accidental occurrence. I am
my own fleeting thought.
Man, it's really hard to get a girl who you've been told is gay to confirm whether or not she's a lesbian without directly asking.
Because, like, if it turns out she's not I'd ask her out some time, but directly asking if someone is attracted to men or women or both seems rude somehow.
Scroobius Pip, "Broken Promise"

You know, on True Blood he thought he was going to be a shifter. You'll accept this as reasoning due to the abs. #ShifterRewards
Because so many books have told me shifters like to fix things… #ShifterRewards
With arms like that, Hugh Jackman was made to be on #ShifterRewards
Great abs are always a requirement for shifters…
We like our shifters dirty. We'll pretend this one's a shifter. Everyone good with that?
Sure, he's playing Theseus here, but Henry Cavill has a shifter body. That guy could totally be alpha of a pack.

LAKESIDE, Calif. (CBS 8) - If you've always had a hankerin' to own a piece of the wild wild West, well partner, this weekend in Lakeside you'll have a chance.
"We've had great success here in adopting these wild horses and burros that are protected by federal law," Art D'Grazia of the Bureau of Land Management said.
This Saturday and Sunday at the Pillsbury Ranch, the Bureau of Land Management is looking for a few good homes.
"We've got some yearlings and some two-year-olds, horses from Nevada, from Wyoming, from Oregon, burros from Arizona and California. They are ready to be gentled and started," D'Grazia said.
Periodically, the Bureau of Land Management thins the herds of wild horses on public lands.
"A lot of people have the misconception that we are removing all the wild horses, and that's not true," D'Grazia said.
Among the lookie loos on Joan Embery's ranch were members of the Fay family.
"We come out here just to check them out. We have one; it's nice to look," a visitor said.
Joan Embery has heard that one before.
"It's kind of fun to watch the patch the people come out and see the wild horses and burros and they say, 'I'm just looking,' and at the end of the day, they come back with a trailer and the kids got a burro or a horse," Embery said.
Former Bureau of Land Management horses like Bubba have been put to good use patrolling the border.
"He loves his job. He's definitely a San Diego horse now,"
Adoptions will take place all day Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. until noon. The cost of an adoption is $125.
"They need a good pipe corral -- it needs to be a minimum of 400 square feet, which is about a 20 by 20 (foot) and a small 10 by 10 (foot) shelter. The animal will gentle down in a space like this pretty quickly if they spend the time and have the patience,"
And you too will have a chance to tame the Wild West.
