2016 City of Rocks Pioneer Endurance Ride: The "F" Word
Tuesday June 14 2016
I am referring, of course, to "FIVE THOUSAND" as the F word. (Now, what were you all thinking?)
That's what was on the line for Lee Pearce and Fire Mt Malabar at the 3-day City of Rocks ride June 9-11 in SE Idaho. Of course, the "F" word was not uttered by anyone before 4 PM on Saturday. But that's getting a bit ahead.
For the 5th year, the Oreana Pickett Crick gang hauled everything, including the kitchen sinks (seriously, in the cook trailer), 4 hours away to City of Rocks National Reserve in southeast Idaho, to put on the multi-day City of Rocks Pioneer endurance ride. One of those years we did it twice, 6 weeks apart, for the multi-day then the AERC National Championship. We've about got it down now. This time I think collectively we only forgot a bottle of hand lotion and a bar of soap.
This year, honorary Pickett Cricksters Matt and Terrence Nicholes came along as the Super Help. And we will never put on the ride again without them!
Attendance was good, and the weather was good if you consider nobody got caught riding in thunderstorms (except for Connie, who got caught in one AGAIN, on a training ride on Monday before the ride started). It got pretty warm and muggy on day 1, but cloud cover and breezes helped on days 2 and 3.
Day 1's trails headed south into Utah through the little farming community of Yost. Located in a farmed valley below the Raft River mountains, surrounded by many of the old wagon trails that immigrants followed westward in the late 1800s, the first known white settlers in this valley were cowboy and cattleman Charles Yost and farmer Levi Nelson Campbell in 1879. The community officially became Yost in 1890 with the establishment of a post office.
Around 1880 Fannie Marilla Garner Tracy and her 8 children had settled in the area. Descendants of the Tracy family remain in the area; the Tracy General Store in nearby Almo has been in business since 1894 (originally owned and operated by the Harry and William Eames families). It's eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
All 12 starters finished the 35 miler on Day 1, with Lee Ann Clarke and Onyx's Paloma Plata winning the ride and fourth place Carolyn Roberts and Mac taking Best Condition.
Christoph Schork on GE Pistol Annie and Jill Haunold on Solara SS tied for first place in the 55 miler in 5:00 flat, with Solara SS winning Best Condition. 26 of 29 finished the ride.
Day 2's trail took riders through a part of City of Rocks National Reserve, and to and around Castle Rocks State Park.
The racing mules were on hand for the LD, with Jill Hedt and the mule War Eagle winning in 2:58. Trinity Jackson escorted a slew of Junior mule riders to second through sixth places. War Eagle won the Best Condition award. 25 of 26 riders finished.
Jill Haunold and Solara SS won day 2's 50 miler, and the Best Condition award again. 21 of 23 riders completed the ride. The two last place (ribbon-pulling drag) riders fought over Turtle. I lost. Connie and Phinneas won that spot and the coveted turtle award, a handmade turtle pillow donated by Tonya Stroud.
Day 3's trail covered the height and breadth of City of Rocks National Reserve, climbing to Indian Grove at 7500 feet, and following the historic Emigrant and California Trails through the park.
All 24 starters finished the LD, with Kathleen Hite, riding the horse An Instigator FA, edging out the mules to win in 2:42. The slew of mules finished second through sixth again. Three first timers from Mackee, Idaho, finished eighth through tenth, and their horses - an Araloosa, a Quarter Horse, and a gorgeous dark palomino Morgan - were superbly condition and smartly ridden. Lenie Wilkie, riding Trigger, won Best Condition.
There was a 3-way tie for first in the 50 in 5:06, with Christoph Schork (riding Medinah MHF), Julie Muscutt (riding Satin Image AZ), and Errol Fife (riding OMR Pristine). Satin Image AZ won Best Condition. 27 of 29 completed the ride.
And this is where the "F" word comes in. When Lee Pearce and Fire Mt Malabar crossed the finish line in 14th place in a time of 6:15, and passed the vet check, the 18-year-old gelding reached the laudable Five Thousand AERC mile mark.
Only around 300 horses in the sport of endurance have reached the remarkable 5000 mileage plateau; and Fire Mt Malabar has done his with a heavyweight rider. The 18-year-old gelding now has a record of 88 completions in 94 starts over his 10-season career, with 42 endurance Best Condition awards (which is 3rd highest ever).
Malabar is by by Sierra Fadwah +/ , the first stallion to reach 7000 endurance miles, the Jim Jones Award winner in 1983, Reserve National Middleweight Champion in 1988, and 1992 AERC Hall of Fame recipient.
Lee and Malabar earned Decade Team status in the 2016 Tough Sucker, adding to their resume of 2013 Heavyweight 100-mile National Champions, and 2011 National Best Condition winners (with 12 BCs).
You can read a 2013 story on Lee and Malabar here.
There were a number of other happy incidents at this year's City of Rocks ride.
A bit of impromptu music popped up in the evenings, featuring a grand reunion of U3: the Unofficial Unauthorized Uninvited Bluegrass band. We (Steph, Gretchen, me) morphed into the City of RockStars when we were joined by Connie Holloway, Terrence Nicoles, Clay Teeter, Robert Washington, and Anne Perkins and Jerry (a great duo on their own!).
Several newbies completed their first rides, and are candidates for becoming endurance addicts.
Christoph Schork won his 294th and 295th AERC rides (yes, you read that right!).
Eight riders completed all 3 days of the ride (3 in the LDs; 5 in the 50s). Jessica Huber and Channteuse had the fastest overall 3-day LD time of 12:01. In the 50s, Crockett Dumas aboard OT Rasa RSI and Terry Bannister aboard Ferrari had the fastest overall 3-day time of 21:56. Winning the coveted Getaway Horse/overall Best Condition award in the LD was Carolyn Roberts and Mac. Nance Worman and Amirah Khafazeh Bly got it in the 50s.
There were also a few minor casualties during the ride: on Day 1 Ericka from Nevada came off her horse and got a concussion on the first day and spent the night in the hospital; also on day 1 Drin from Montana got heat stroke on the first day (though she was able to complete days 2 and 3); also on day 1 veterinarian Robert Washington did a non-injurious but very humorous face plant in the extra tall green bunch grass while rescuing Drin; the Nicoles boys' motorcycle died; one of our ATVs died (R.I.P.).
But yes, we will probably rise to the occasion yet again to put on the City of Rocks ride.
It "is a must for any one mounted or a foot. Spectacular," Crockett Dumas said. "One of the most spectacular rides Terry Banister and I have ever ridden." And that's saying something, coming from Crockett, a legendary rider with over 41,000 miles of endurance!
Put this Fun, Fabulous, Fantastic, not-to-be-missed ride on your calendar for next year.

It's All About the Joser: 4000 Miles for Jose Viola!
May 14 2016
The record would have been reached at the Eagle Canyon ride two weeks ago, but that one turned out to be too muddy for us to ride.
So it was the 55-mile Owyhee River Challenge where Jose Viola (affectionally alternatively known as José, Hose B, The Hoser, Josie, Sneaky Pie Brown, Little Bunny Foo Foo, Mister, or Buster, and formerly known as Joseph Coat of Many Colors [seriously!]) would go for his 4000 mile AERC mark.
Steph gave me the honors of reaching the 4000 miles on this 15-year-old, mostest sway-backedest gelding you've ever seen in an endurance horse. Seeing as his back could become an issue, Steph wanted to retire him when he's on top of his game, and this 4000-mile ride would be his last.
He's carried 11 different riders, and one Raven, over his 10-year career, with only 2 pulls in 85 starts. Jose and I and The Raven share over 2000 miles together. He's one of the most intelligent horses I've ever been around. He's fun and forward and easy to ride and extremely trustworthy - in other words, just the perfect horse, in my opinion. He's just The Best.
The whole Pickett Crick gang came to the ride; Linda and Ted were riding the LD, and Steph/Smokey and Carol/August and me/Jose and Connie/DWA Saruq and Sarah/Dessie came to ride the 55. Start was at 6:30 AM, and we were sure hoping it wasn't going to be as hot and still and muggy as it was on Friday as we vetted in.
The horses were all feeling good and zipped along in the golden sunrise, with cliffs of the Owyhee River canyon behind us. We climbed up to a plateau where we had some good footing, beautiful scenery, and biting gnats that tried to suck the tastiest blood around your ears and hairline.
After a while, Steph and Carol and I caught up with Connie and Sarah and rode with or near them for most of the rest of the ride. Up and down hills and draws we rode on this single big loop ride, making our way to the Owyhee River where we could water our horses. We went beneath a giant aqueduct, that Smokey wanted nothing to do with, and came around a corner to some spectacular rhyolite cliffs where the river did a bend.
Jose has no trouble with water crossings. In fact, he loves water. Any time I'm giving any other horse a bath, he comes up for a hosing. In fact, I can hold the water hose stream still, and he will turn himself in circles to give himself a bath.
But Jose wanted nothing to do with this Owyhee river. In fact he was highly suspicious of the water canals we rode alongside, and he did not like the sight of those tunnels where the water disappeared underground! I had to work on seriously convincing him to go into the river, but he was not taking a drink out of this thing, no sir, no way Jose. We did stop at a safe little water crossing a short distance away where he quenched his thirst.
Back onto some washes and road, hills and more washes and roads, and back alongside a suspicious canal, we came to a fork in the 2-track road, but no trail markings. We knew the vet check was somewhere fairly close up ahead, but there was no indication on which fork in the road to take. For lack of a better choice, we followed the people ahead of us, who were also guessing which way to go, though we were always wondering if we should turn back and go try the other road, to see if there were any ribbon markings on that one.
Turned out we were on the correct one (at least one person ahead of us had taken the wrong turn and went miles out of his way), and we could soon see the vet check below us along the river. We descended the road and crossed a concrete bridge over the river, a miniature Owyhee version of No Hands Bridge without railing, and we had our hour hold vet check at about the halfway point.
Around 8 of us left the vet check and rode more or less together along the upper canal. After a mile or two, Smokey suddenly spooked at something to the right. Steph looked to the right, and saw a ribbon! It turned out to be a trail turn-off that wasn't marked! We were lucky Smokey spooked, because we would have blown by the turn. (Although, in hindsight maybe we were unlucky that we saw this turn.)
We hollered at the 2 riders ahead of us that they missed the turn, but they didn't hear us and kept going. Well, it turned out that everybody in front of us had missed this turn, because there were NO horse tracks on this loop. I am experienced at reading tracks, because I read them all the time for amusement in the desert terrain where I live; and leading the way up this first wash, I could clearly see there were only cow tracks in the wash. Jose and I were covering virgin trail, it appeared. In fact, our group almost turned around several times because there were no other horse tracks, though we did see the occasional trail marking that indicated this indeed must be the correct way.
We lost the trail a couple of times but one of the six of us would luckily find it again. Good thing we were all together because it often took one of the 12 human eyeballs to find a painted rock or piece of baling twine. Sometimes we just had to guess where to go, and we'd eventually luck out and find a marker. When the trail came out onto a dirt road, ALL of us clearly saw that there were ZERO horse hoof prints on this big climb to the power lines. We still kept wondering if we could possibly be on the correct trail, since nobody else had come this way, and since we couldn't find any more markings. One would think this would be easy to mark with an ATV if this were correct. We split up several times looking for ribbons or hoof prints in other directions, but it wasn't until Tamara caught up with us again that she indicated that this was the correct way to be going.
I was with a group of riders with over 50,000 combined miles of endurance experience - including international riders, Hall of Famers, and National Champions, and it was pretty safe to conclude that when there were NO TRACKS, and no horse poop anywhere on our trail, indicating everyone in front of us had gone off trail, and by AERC rules they would either have to come back out and make it up, or at the finish go out and make up the mileage they missed to get a completion, this put us in the lead of the ride, oh my!
Same thing happened to me and Steph at the Eagle ride a couple of years ago - the three riders in the lead went off trail, and that left Steph in me in the front as the leaders, and ultimately the winners of the ride, AND Jose Viola got Best Condition.
Same thing happened to me at one of our Owyhee rides, only it was me who was off trail. A friend and I finished first in the LD, but we had to go back out and do the last little loop correctly, and we lost our placing. It happens. Them's the rules, and that's the luck.
Wasn't it cool that we now had a bit of a chance for that to happen here too, a win and a/or a BC, on Jose's last ride before his retirement!?
But there was no racing amongst ourselves yet to sort out who might be the winner, and anyway the finish line was a long way away. We still needed all our eyeballs to keep on a trail or find trail markings. Sometimes we could trot, other times we had to walk. We still had Tamara to at least tell us what direction we should be riding; and, still riding in front on Jose, I sort of took a mental compass bearing and headed that way. Occasionally I would see a broken branch of something that had once possibly been painted, so I kept heading that direction.
We got to a canal that Jose did not want any part of and he threw in a big spook, which he rarely does. This canal had another one of those black tunnels that sucked the water in a noisy scary whoosh down to Hades, and any intelligent horse in his right mind with a great imagination would be wary of that. I calmed him down enough to get him close to the canal where I dismounted, and after a couple of other horses took a drink, he decided it was safe enough to drink, too.
From there we didn't know where to go because nobody could find any markings, and again Tamara was able to at least tell us what direction to go. We were headed back down to the road below us - the one we had left to go on this flagged loop that everybody else had missed - and as we made our way down to the road, oh my, there were all the hoof prints that were missing from our trail. Every one of those riders had all just stayed on the road, cutting this 2 to 3 mile detour out and doing an easy half mile to this point. How unfortunate, in so many ways. I'm sure none of them knew they missed the turn.
But anyway. Horses were going great, weather was great. Cool, overcast, breezy, threatening rain but not raining, slight chance of thunderstorms, but no lightning or thunder!
And then I said, "Wow, I just felt a big raindrop on my arm!" But as it turned out, it was not a raindrop. It was one of the greatest things ever happened to me on an endurance ride. As we rode onward, Jose zipping along merrily at his happy trot, I happened to catch a glimpse of my arm, upon which there was a big white splotch. Like, a big white splotch with black splotches in it. Whoa! BIRD POOP ON MY ARM!!! WHAT ARE THE ODDS!!!! How lucky was I to be at that exact right place at the exact right time??? And the poop probably even came from a Raven!!!!! That was just the best luck ever.
Our horses clipped right along - all of us, I'm sure, wondering in the back of our minds now who amongst us might win the ride since the others were off trail and we were in front - along single track trails through lush grass and flowers, over 2-track roads, up and down hill and dell, through some scenic mushroom rocks, over more hills and dells, then to the series of big steep hills, down and up, down and up. They were the Owyhee version of the Virginia City 100 SOBs (Sonsabitches), though these were rather pleasantly long and steep, and the weather was pleasantly breezy and cool, unlike in the Virginia City 100 where it's also bloody hot when you hit those short, very steep gnarly hills. The horses grabbed grass as we worked those hills. I jumped off Jose for every downhill but let him have the honor of carrying me up them, since he's the finely tuned athlete, and I am not.
After more hills and miles and pretty scenery, we climbed the last hill which would take us into the vet check. Connie and Sarah were ahead of us and were going to win their first ride. In fact, we 5 Crick People were going to going to have the first Crick Sweep ever! Steph pulled out her camera to record Jose and me and The Raven cross the finish line for his 4000 miles. And in 3rd place to boot! Steph and Carol commented that The Raven and I both had the same happy expression.
The other 7 riders ahead of us who had missed trail and mileage had already finished, and some had shown for BC already, or would be shortly. The ride manager was not in camp but was instead out doing the ride near the back of the pack, and there wasn't a day manager appointed who could address the issue. But we trusted that it would be sorted out correctly, and several of us decided to show for BC.
I waited for Jose's 10 minute CRI to do my completion exam, and when Robert confirmed Jose had finished the ride, we all gave a big cheer, Steph and I shared a hug, and then I gave my most amazing pal Jose a big big hug for all the wonderful miles he's given me over the years. He is just one amazing horse.
And when Jose's CRI came up as 44-48, I knew Jose had a shot at BC! Though my light weight is always what foils me. Well, in all the 3 or 4 times I've ever showed for BC in my career.
Connie and Sarah had never won a ride before. Sarah was thrilled. And since neither they nor I hardly ever show for BC, we had fun with it. Steph showed also, and after we brought our horses back for the hour BC judging, then we remembered we had to weigh in with all our tack. (Like I said, we rarely do this, so almost forgot to weigh in.) So, much to the amusement of the vets and the people at the finish line, we had a Hillbilly Weigh In, where I stole Regina's truck, we loaded up all our tack onto the truck, drove back to the finish line, and weighed in. I could not believe I weighed less than Junior Sarah! My tack sure felt heavy.
In the end, the results of the ride were not changed, even though few people involved were questioned. Which is very disappointing, since my horse/our 6 horses all worked hard in doing all 55 miles of the sanctioned 55 mile ride. Yes, in hindsight now, it is indeed too bad Smokey spooked where she did, and too bad it caused Steph to see that ribbon, because had we also accidentally blown by that extra hard several-mile loop, it ultimately turned out that would have been acceptable. It was rather bittersweet, knowing we had done everything right and yet it felt to me like we were penalized for doing the correct trail and mileage.
Jose did not have a shot at BC and retire in an extra big blaze of glory. However, the day will be forever remembered in that Connie and Sarah had their greatest Un-Win ever! And it was the greatest Crick Un-Sweep ever!
And anyway, it was all about The Hoser. This ride will also be remembered as the day that Jose, this wonderful, smart, fun, funny, incomparable Jose Viola, crossed the AERC plateau of 4000 miles, something less than 500 endurance horses have ever done.
You're the Best Jose, the Best!

2016 Eagle Canyon
Saturday April 23 2016
Well, it didn't all go quite as planned. Layne Simmons and her husband Phil, and family, and friends, put a lot of work as a new ride manager into reviving the retired/passed on Eagle Canyon (formerly Eagle Extreme) ride north of Eagle, Idaho. Every ride manager knows, and most endurance riders know, at least an inkling of all the work she did planning, interacting with generous land owners who let us ride on their property, measuring and marking trail, arranging volunteers, preparing food and awards.
Everything was all ready for the April 23 ride.
And then the weather happened.
Five of us Owyhee'uns from up the Crick headed to Eagle on Friday, with lots of clothes packed for the predicted rain and wind that would probably hit. No problem, we've ridden in rain and wind before. Junior Sarah flew in at the last minute from Seattle to ride her horse Dessie with Aunt Connie and DWA Saruq. Carol brought August; Steph would be riding Smokey, and she gave me the honors (pressure??!!) of riding Jose Viola, who is sitting on 3,985 miles. Completing this 50 would vault him over the 4000-mile mark. No pressure, really, for me and The Raven. Jose is an easy dream ride.
We all vetted in Friday under intermittently dark waves of clouds, but it never rained. We all hoped it would just hold off. We couldn't get cell reception to check with NOAA again, so, no worries. We got things ready for the morning, and put blankets on the horses, just in case. I laid out my rain clothes for the morning. No problem.
It did start raining during the night. It rained and rained, and the only time it stopped raining, it dumped. By the time we got up to get ready for the 8 AM start, it was still raining, cold, starting to blow, and horses were all shivering wet chickens under their blankets.
It wasn't the cold and wind for this Ice Princess that made me not want to ride. It wasn't the wet fuzzy-seated saddle my butt would sit in, because that would warm up and dry out soon enough. There were plenty of other factors to think about. We drove all this way, and of course we should ride. We are tough endurance riders, so of course we should ride. We are experienced endurance riders, so of course we should ride. Our horses are fit, of course we should ride. If we backed out, that would be a blow to Layne and all the work she did for the ride.
All of this factored in, but ultimately it was the footing I was worried about. I've ridden in mud, and I'd just as soon avoid it. It just takes one slip, and your horse can be done.
But we weren't the only ones considering not riding. A lot of people crowded into Layne's trailer in the morning, discussing options. She could delay the start an hour - though that wouldn't change the trails at all. She could, by the rules, delay the start for 24 hours. But while that would give the trails time to dry out with the big winds coming, that wouldn't help her numbers any, since most people had to leave at the end of the day or by Sunday morning anyway.
We felt really bad for Layne, after all the work she did, but in the end, for us, we felt it was in the best interest of our horses not to ride. There are more rides. Jose is not in a hurry to get his 4000 miles. August is getting older. Smokey is still young, with plenty of miles ahead of her.
Sarah was bound and determined to ride no matter what, so she and aunt Connie went out on the 50, prepared to take it as slowly as necessary, while Steph and Carol and I played cards (Hate Your Neighbor) in the trailer, visited with the other people hanging around camp, and waited for Sarah and Connie to come in off their first 25-mile loop.
They took over 5 hours for that loop, having to negotiate some slick hills and boggy spots carefully, but so far so good. They'd continue onward. Carol stayed to wait for them, while Steph and I packed up and hauled Jose and Smokey and August home, to wait for another day, another ride.
Things don't always work out as you plan in endurance, but we felt confident we made the right decision for us.
15 riders started the 50, with 9 finishing. Lynne Frederickson won on Tezero's Taconite, with ride manager Layne finishing with her in 2nd on Royal Image, perhaps a slight consolation for the weather. Tamara Basinger and HHR Jammazon finished 3rd and got Best Condition, their second in a row. Three riders at or near the front at the halfway point pulled (one Rider Option and two Lame), and one was sadly lame at the finish. A couple of others pulled as Rider Option.
9 riders started the 25, with 7 finishing. Jill Haunold on Penny's Isabella finished first and got Best Condition.

2016 Tough Sucker
April 2 2016
For the first time in recorded history, winners of the glorious* Idaho Owyhee Tough Sucker endurance rides of 25 and 50 miles were awarded 4WD vehicles. Linda Kluge and Ted won the grueling** 25-mile ride and Best Condition, and Tamara Baysinger and HMR Jammazon won the grueling** 50-mile ride and Best Condition.
The Top 5 finishers in each distance also received 4WD vehicles - though there was some horse trading going on, when a few were not present to receive their great awards, and another lady not in the Top 5 had a grandchild who really wanted a 4WD.
The fierce competitors were well-dressed, including Mike Cobbley in bright blue and black Crazy Legs tights, which I complimented as we passed each other on the trail. (This must be the only sport where you can go up to a guy and say, "Hay, I really like your tights," and he says, "Hay, thanks" without either of you thinking the other is totally weird.)
Attendees, including top officials of Belesemo Arabians and Drinkers of the Wind Arabians, were duly impressed as they witnessed the competitiveness and best-dressedness of these illustrious competitive endurance riders and their handsome steeds.
After being awarded her 25-mile 4WD vehicle and precious Championship prizes (a pretty horsie plate and a Tough Sucker coffee mug), Champion rider Linda gave a speech. "I got Ted into shape by dragging a mule behind us up and down these hills. In this ride, he didn't have to drag a mule." He finished the 25 miles in 3:46.***
"He didn't have to drag his Ass," a helpful rider contributed.
Jammer outraced a couple of racing mules. The Mule Gals showed up and kept on Champion rider Tamara's tail for the first loop, but she and Jammer gained some time on them in the vet check, and they had loop 2 to themselves, finishing in 5:51***.
Catherine Lee, a Junior on the mule Irish, finished second nearly an hour later. Her mule partner, ridden by Trinity Jackson riding Out of Idaho, didn't pulse down in time for a completion. Tamara's later comment was, "Two triumphs today: Jammer won first place and Best Condition at Tough Sucker and I only missed a couple spots with the sunscreen. Win-win."
Finishing in 8th place, Lee Pearce and Fire Mt Malabar achieved illustrious Decade Team status. Congrats! You might remember that duo as 2013 Heavyweight 100-mile National Champions, or 2011 National Best Condition winners (with 12 BCs). Lee rode and finished with his wife Naomi Preston, who, as a busy Eagle City Councilwoman and owner of Eagle's Wild West Bakery and Espresso (only The Best Cafe in Idaho), got to ride for the first time in forever, on JAC Redtail, aka Buddy. "Felt GREAT!" she said.
This of course unfolded way ahead of me and Dudley on the 50. We rode with Connie and Phinneas (a bundle of Muscle who tugged on Connie the whole way even though he's 18 years old now) and Junior Sarah on Dessie.
Regina had kept The Dude on his Tough Love Diet while I was away down south for much of the winter, so I have her to thank for having only the task of getting Dudley in shape for the Tough Sucker, and not getting him in shape AND losing weight.
While Dudley has clearly lost a gazillion pounds and looks almost like a totally normal horse now (he just carries a bit of neck crest as a trophy of his by-gone Fat Days), Robert the vet still called him a "7 - Fleshy." We all pshawed that and proclaimed Dudley a "6 - Moderately Fleshy", because he has worked so hard over the years, he deserves it. Robert did concede that Dudley was not the fattest horse at the ride, which was not always the case!
It was a superb day in the Owyhee desert - blue skies, cool enough, a little breeze when it warmed up later in the day, and grass galore on the trail. Any horse could get at least a "B" on gut sounds if they stopped to snack now and then. Dudley's biggest goal in an endurance ride is to get "A" on his gut sounds. He did get all A's on his 4 gut quadrants after the first loop, and finished with B's in all 4. Dudley recognizes there is room for improvement on his gut sounds and is willing to diligently work on that.
Loop 1 took riders toward the Snake River into the Birds of Prey National Conservation Area. After an hour vet check in camp, Loop 2 headed south and west alongside and then above Hart Creek on some of our most scenic trails.
All 17 riders finished the 25, and 23 of 24 riders finished the 50. "This historic Tough Sucker event saw a wide participation of the elite riders in the world of endurance, or at least the elite riders of Idaho and Oregon and thereabouts," said some official, "but the high level and determination by the riders reflects their eagerness to compete strongly to win the trophies."
"Oh, and the other best part of the weekend, besides the great riding and horses and trails was the evening jamming with the Pickett Crick Ramblers. They are truly spectacular to behold*."
*they are, really!
**they aren't, really
***not really races, you see

Librarian Mom Transforms Cupboard Under The Stairs Into Harry Potter Room
When librarian Courtney Bonnet moved into her new house, she immediately knew what she wanted to do with the small cupboard under he stairs. Completely inspired by the cupboard where Harry Pottery lived at 4 Privet Drive, Bonnet's new residency was decorated with old Harry Potter books as wallpaper.
The space appointed for "Wizards Only" contains adorable Harry Potter memorabilia from a wanted poster to a Golden Snitch.
Bonnet told Bored Panda "I have been a huge Harry Potter fan for a long time and I knew the soon as I saw the space that I wanted to turn it into a Harry Potter room. It took me about 8 days and cost about $250-300. I had a bunch of the Harry Potter stuff but did buy rugs and the fabric for the walls."
Take a peek inside.

Your own marriage might be dull and joyless, but there's no sense in discard the idea of a legally-binding union between two adult humans just because you chose poorly. Perhaps if you'd chosen, say, Julia Ann or Raylene or Chanel Preston you'd be living an IRL Real Wife Stories adventure that would see your dick sucked, ridden, and emptied by all three beauties (on separate occasions, too.). Or you could be on the other side of these unfathomably lusty encounters, in the role of a cuckold who has no choice but to sit back and watch as his amazing, exquisite wife lowers herself to the level of common gutter slut. It's marriage, Brazzers-style. It's Real Wife Stories. And it's asking for your hand.
Mike Adriano spent years working as a boner-for-hire before being given his shot at directing, but he immediately rose to prominence as the one man willing to thrust his camera into the deepest, darkest, moistest parts of human sexuality. Training his camera on the quivering assholes of porn's hottest girls and aiming his dick at their innards and their throats, Adriano and his official self-titled site offers extraordinarily explicit hardcore porn like you've never seen before.
You've had the pleasure of being blown by twenty- and thirty- and even forty-somethings, but until you've found yourself staring down in disbelief at the pretty face of a cock-hungry teenage slut, you haven't known true sexual ecstasy. Only Teen Blowjobs won't deliver such a girl to your doorstep, but it does provide hundreds of sloppy, slurpy, sensual bouts of fellatio that won't be seen elsewhere. Ah, youth!
You might not have a wife, but if you did, I doubt you'd honor your marriage vows when faced with one of Naughty America's most convincing seductresses. I Have a Wife is a Naughty America site built around infidelity scenarios that have some sap protesting a come-on from a true vixen only to give in when she drops her hand inside his trunks and whispers something filthy in his ear. Soon enough, they're rolling around on the floor completely without clothing as his wife pulls into the driveway. I hope you'll enjoy I Have a Wife, just not so much that that same situation happens to you (and you alone).
My Friend's Hot Mom is a fucking knockout! He rushed out for something. I stuck around on the sofa. His mom came home and - BOOM - she jumped me. I pounded her. We cleaned up (and it was quite a mess) just in time for my buddy to come home and find us sitting in the kitchen innocently chatting over a coffee. (I provided the cream, natch!) It was a fantasy come true if ever there was one and it has all been documented in glorious High Definition at Naughty America site My Friend's Hot Mom, where friendship is only a means to land the most experienced pussy you'll ever have.
Work sucks… most of the time. If you're in a thoroughly unisex workplace with a lax dress code, it can be a pretty titillating place to be. Porn's bustiest babes have seemingly been employed at the same company as a bunch of stiff-dicked dudes with little in the way of professionalism. But hey, that makes for supreme adult entertainment as only Brazzers can deliver. Big Tits at Work sees many a stunning pornstar babe strut her stuff across the boardroom only to pass over an executive in favor of that handsome new intern. Risque enough to get your fired, Big Tits at Work is absolutely, positively, completely NSFW.
Once declaring themselves "The motherfuckers of porn," the Mofos crew has since started leaving the MILFs alone and instead targeting younger, less experienced babes. In 1080p HD videos, on 17 exclusive websites, porn's stiffest dicks (and luckiest guys) slide between the lips and thighs of such sexy girls as Dillion Harper and Holly Michaels, and can be seen enjoying creampie, anal, lesbian, threesome, public, and hardcore scenes only at this excellent network.
Operating under the assumption that lesbian porn cannot and will not turn them on, many male hetero porn fans skip all-female content altogether. Glossing over the unbelievably sexy girl-on-girl (and girl-on-girl-on-girl-on-girl) hookups from movies like Cheer Squad Sleepovers, Secret Lesbian Diaries, Imperfect Angels, and Wet for Women produced and made digitally available by Girlfriends Films would, however, be a huge mistake. Oozing more passion than a night at the opera and showcasing hotter female physiques than any Olympic event can muster, Girlfriends Films is one of the 'net premiere all-female hardcore destinations.

It can be frustrating for webmasters to carefully craft the perfect title for a page, only to have a search engine decide to replace it with what they consider to be a better one. So Bing has published a new blog post explaining how they choose the titles for webpages, and why they might replace yours with something else.
In one example, Bing chose to move the company's name from the end of the title, where the company placed it, to the front of the title instead, when a searcher was searching specifically for the company name.
Query: Contoso
The Contoso webmaster has set the Title tag as:
Home Ware: Bedroom, Kitchenware, Garden Ware, Hardware – Contoso's
The title Bing selected may look like this:
Contoso's – Home Ware: Bedroom, Kitchenware, Garden Ware …
This does provide a better user experience for the searcher, as they might have missed the fact it was the Contoso website if the company name were all the way at the end of the title.
OpenGraph is used by Bing in its search titles as well. Webmasters using OpenGraph annotations should always check to ensure that the fields are valid and correct to avoid any problems with titles stemming from wrong annotations.
Bing also selects different titles from a variety of external sources that they use. This includes ODP/DMOZ listing information and anchor text. Unfortunately, it can be hard to change your Open Directory Project information if it is outdated and that is what Bing selects to display.
They also remind webmasters not to block the Bingbot, as it will also affect displayed titles. If this happens, they will instead display an extremely short title, such as simply the company name without any keywords.
Bing does suggest that webmasters remove generic titles, including "home" and "about us," and instead use something that's descriptive without being too long or repetitive. Additionally, Webmasters should always avoid having multiple pages with identical titles.

Two identical traffic tickets
In late May I was caught by the camera when turning right on red light without making a full stop.Several days later I was caught by the same camera on the same intersection for exactly the same thing. And I received two tickets on the same day. I am a foreigner and I just arrived to California 4 months ago. And I honestly didn't know that I was supposed to make a full stop even if I'm turning right. I admit that I did a stupid thing and didn't read every signle page of DMV handbook as carefully as I should have. And I admit that I violated the traffic laws of California. But $900 sounds like way too expensive for this lesson. I was told that if I go to court and explain my situation to the judge, total fine can be lessened. What are the chances that this will happen? If there are chances, should I pay first ticket and request a trial for the second one?

Re: Two identical traffic tickets
I wish to inform you that you have two options. In this, in first option you may contest tickets on a basis which shows you are not liable. You can inform the judge that you a foreigner who has come recently to California. You were not aware that you had to come to a full stop even if you are turning right. You may further ask for reduction of fine in court and it is the discretion of the judge based upon facts in front of the judge to reduce amount of your fine. Seek a meeting with the Prosecutor and explain your situation to him. You may also consider traffic school. Alternatively, if you do not want to contest then you may pay the amount of fine.

Re: Two identical traffic tickets
Thank you very much! If i want to seek a meeting with Prosecutor, what should I do? On the back side of my tickets there are only 2 options listed - I can either pay the bail, or request a trial. I assume that I should request a trial. Is that correct? Is there any place in the web where I can read about it?
And what is the current amount of additional court cost I'll have to pay (city of Los Angeles), if I request a trial, but lose it? I the searched web-site lasuperiorcourt,org, but wasn't able to find anything
Thank you once again,

It was about 36 hours ago that I pointed to a ResourceShelf overview of Writely, a wonderful and free web-based word proccessor and collaboration tool. Today, according to this article, Writely has added a new feature. Now users can convert documents into PDF format by just pointing and clicking. The article says that this is now free feature will eventually become a "fee-based" premium feature from Writely.
More in the article: Web word processor adds PDF conversion.
Of course, many other web-based convert to PDF tools exist. Here's one example. For years, I've been using DocMorph from NLM's (National Library of Medicine) Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications.
DocMorph has been around since 1999. It's a completely free service that allows conversion to PDF, TIFF, text, and synthesized speech from more than 50 file formats. Registration is fast and easy. You can also download (not required, Windows only) MyMorph that makes the conversion process a bit easier (it's really not a challenge in the first place).

Is Kanye Quitting His Day Job For Fashion?
Say what you will about Kayne West's first runway collection — which didn't exactly receive a standing ovation — but it is clear 'Ye is serious about making a splash. Grazia Daily reports that Kanye has just touched down in London town, making the move to the UK to focus on his budding fashion career. Yes, in case you weren't sure, there will be a second DW by Kanye West collection presented in March at Paris Fashion Week. Following the Watch the Throne tour, the full-time relocation for the rapper will provide him with the opportunity to get schooled at the Central Saint Martins College and get down to business. In addition, the move is beneficial as it will bring the designer within closer proximity to Katie Eary, the London-based designer whose been assisting him with the collection since its debut. No word when this American Boy will return to the states, but allow us to quote the man himself: "Please be easy. Please give me a chance to grow. This is not some celebrity shit."

This invention relates to a convertible sofa and bed apparatus which is readily moveable from a seating position where the backrest extends upright from the seat into a bed position wherein the backrest extends in a horizontal plane coplanar with the seat. Such structures have been found to be particularly adaptable to recreational type vehicles where space is typical at a premium.
The acceptance by the public of the recreational vehicle as a mobile facility for daytime living and nightime lodging has given rise to numerous approaches to the accommodation of human beings whether seated or recumbent. Much effort has been devoted to the achievement of compact arrangements employing seating facilities that are convertible to sleeping accommodations. Storage, manifestly has become a serious consideration from the designer's, as well as the purchaser's and user's standpoint. The achievement of compactness makes recreational vehicles available to families of modest means. Even in the more spacious vehicles in the luxury class, compactness, storage, and convertibility of seating and sleeping arrangements make space available for the accommodation of furniture generally found and enjoyed in the home but not classified as essential to life in a recreational vehicle.
The objectives of the invention include the provision of a convertible sofa and bed structure which may be economically manufactured and utilized where space is at a premium.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a convertible sofa and bed structure wherein the force utilized to effect a conversion of the structure is typically applied to the structure through the back frame member.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a convertible sofa and bed structure wherein the seat framework is at all times capable of being swung upwardly to expose a storage compartment therebeneath.
Still another object of the invention is the provision of a convertible sofa and bed structure wherein the supporting linkage elements may be readily disposed inwardly of the side ends of the structure to enable the same to be employed in a recreational vehicle between the rear wheel well protrusions, for example.
A complete understanding of the invention may be had by one skilled in the art from reading the following detailed description of an embodiment of the invention when considered in the light of the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of a convertible sofa and bed structure with parts broken away to more clearly illustrate the structure;
FIG. 2 is an end view of the structure illustrated in FIG. 1 showing the structure in a seating or sofa position;
FIG. 3 is an end view of the structure illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 showing the structure in an intermediate position between the full seating position of FIGS. 1 and 2 and the full horizontal or sofa position illustrated in FIG. 4;
FIG. 4 is an end view of the structure illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 showing the structure in a full horizontal or bed position; and
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary perspective view similar to the structure illustrated in FIG. 1 wherein the base frame and associated moving parts are mounted inboard to accommodate wheel wells, heaters, water tanks and the like.
Referring to the drawings, there is shown a convertible sofa and bed structure for use in a recreational vehicle, for example. The illustrated structure includes a base frame having a generally horizontally disposed floor engaging member 10 which may be satisfactorily formed of tubular metal stock of a rectangular cross-section, for example. The base frame further includes a pair of upstanding, spaced-apart members 12 and 14 which may be welded, for example, to opposite end portions of the floor engaging member 10. While only a single side of the entire operative structure is shown, it will be understood that each side of the completed structure incorporates substantially identical frame and linkage elements. However, for the sake of clarity only a single side will be explained in detail. In this regard, it will be noted that the base frame, including members 10, 12, and 14, is typically coupled to an opposite base frame assembly by means of a pair of horizontally extending, spaced-apart, tubular stock members 16 and 18. The tubular stock illustrated for members 16 and 18 is shown as being circular in cross-section, it being understood that other cross-sectional configurations will function as well. The members 16 and 18 have their respective end portions welded, for example, to the upper end portions of the upstanding members 12 and 14, respectively. Further, the base frame includes a stop bracket 19 which is typically secured, as by welding, to the member 16 and extends generally perpendicularly therefrom in a horizontal plane.
The seat frame structure illustrated is generally rectangular in overall shape and includes a side element 20, a front element 22, and a rear element 24 all formed of a tubular metal stock being welded or otherwise suitable joined at their abutting end portions. The tubular stock making up the seat frame is illustrated as being rectangular in cross-section; however, other cross-sectional configurations may likewise be utilized.
The back frame structure illustrated is generally rectangular in overall shape and includes a side element 30, a lower element 32, and an upper element 34, all formed of a tubular metal stock as is used in the seat frame structure. Further, the back frame structure includes a spacer bar member 39 which typically spans the space between the lower and upper elements 32 and 34 respectively and extends in parallel relation to the side elements 30. The opposite ends of the spacer bar 39 are suitably secured, as by welding, to the lower and upper elements 32 and 34.
The seat frame and the back frame are pivotally interconnected by means of a pair of pivot hinges 36 and 38 suitably secured to the side elements 20 and 30 of the seat and back frame, respectively. The pivot hinges 36 and 38 pivotally interconnected by a pivot pin 40 at points spaced from the planes of the frames.
A carrier bar 42 has its opposite ends pivotally attached, as by pivot pins 44 and 46, to the upper ends of a pair of spaced apart level arms 48 and 50, respectively. The lower ends of the lever arms 48 and 50 are pivotally attached to the floor engaging member 10 of the base frame. The front lever arm 48 tightly secured to the end of a torque rod 52 which is adapted to be rotatably received within suitably aligned apertures in the lower portion of the upstanding member 14. The torque rod 52 is adapted to extend horizontally between the spaced apart side frames and has its opposite end portions fixedly secured to the lever arm 48 and the corresponding lever arm, not shown, associated with the other side frame. The rear lever arm 50 is pivotally connected to the floor engaging member 10 of the base frame by a pivot pin 54.
The back frame is pivotally connected to the carrier bar 42 through a fulcrum extension 56. The distal end portion of the fulcrum extension 56 is pivotally connected to the carrier bar 42 by a pivot pin 58 disposed intermediate the ends of the bar, while the opposite end of the extension 56 is suitably affixed to the back frame in the region of the juncture of the side element 30 and the lower element 32.
The rear lever arm 50 is provided with a crank extension 60 which is coupled to the back frame through the fulcrum extension 56 thereof by a drag link 62. One end of the drag link 62 is pivotally connected to the crank extension 60 by a pivot pin 64, while the opposite end of the drag link 62 is pivotally connected to the back extension 56 by a pivot pin 66.
As will be apparent from an examination of FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, the seat frame and the back frame are typically provided with suitable upholstery as illustrated generally by phantom lines. It will be further observed by following the linkage movement as the entire assembly is converted from a seat or sofa configuration of FIG. 2 to a bed configuration of FIG. 4, the fact that the pivot hinges 36 and 38 established a pivot point positioned away from the base of the upholstery allows the various linkage movements to occur without pinching, crushing or otherwise adversely distorting the configurations of the upholstery of the seat and back portions.
In order to effectively latch the seat frame to the base frame during the seating or sofa configuration of the structure, latch means 70 are affixed to the lower surface of the side member 20 of the seat frame in the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4, and the lower surface of a spacer bar 20' in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5, and abut against the inner surface of the member 18 of the base frame. The latch means 70 effectively latch the entire mechanism against collapsing should the attendant vehicle be impacted from the rear.
In operation, FIGS. 2, 3, and 4 illustrate the manner in which the various linkage elements are relatively positioned during the change from the seating or sofa configuration (FIG. 2) to the full bed configuration (FIG. 4).
More specifically, the seat portion is initially lifted, typically by grasping the front element 22 of the seat frame and then pulling the same forwardly along a generally horizontal path. Such movement will simultaneously cause the carrier bar 42 to move forwardly and upwardly and thereby, simultaneously cause the lever arms 48 and 50 to rotate about their respective pivot points 52 and 54. The pivot point 52 is in effect the torsion bar which is coupled to a similar lever arm on the opposite side of the structure and effectively maintains the same angular alignment between the corresponding lever arms. As the lever arm 50 is swung about its pivot point 54, the crank arm 60 affixed thereto will effect a swinging or rotational movement of the back frame about its pivot point 58 on the carrier bar 42 through the pivotal connection of the drag link 62. FIG. 3 illustrates the linkage structure wherein the lever arms 48 and 50 and the associated carrier bar 42 are at their highest arcuate paths of travel and just prior to commencing a travel through the downward portion of the arc to the position illustrated in FIG. 4. FIG. 4 illustrates the structure in a position wherein the back frame and the seat frame are in horizontal alignment to define a bed. It will be observed that as the linkage and frame elements traverse from a seating configuration illustrated in FIG. 2 to the bed position illustrated in FIG. 4, the offset pivotal relationship therebetween effected by the pivot hinges 36 and 38 is accomplished without distortion of the upholstery and associated cushioning means.
It will be further appreciated that during any relative position of the seat frame it may be rocked upwardly about the pivot point 40 of the pivot hinges 36 and 38 to, in effect, make available the zone therebeneath which is typically utilized for storage purposes. Also, due to the unique linkage configuration, the transposition from the seating position of FIG. 2 to the full bed position of FIG. 4 is accomplished without materially decreasing the zone defined under the seat. Therefore, the zone provides a substantial compartment for storage. Further, as is clearly apparent from the drawings, when the frames and linkages are in the sofa or seating configuration (FIGS. 1, 2, and 5), the seat frame is supported by the front portion of the side element 20 resting against the upper surface of the front member 18 of the base frame, while the rear member 24 of the seat frame rests against the upper surface of the stop bracket 19. In the bed configuration, the seat frame has been moved forwardly to a position where the center portion of the side member 20 of the seat frame is supported by the base frame member 18, and the back frame has been rocked to a horizontal position wherein the back surface of the spacing bar 39 is supported on the base frame member 16.
FIG. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the structure illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, wherein the mechanism is substantially identical but is moved inwardly so that the base frame may be of any size, centralized, or off-set to accommodate such structural components of the associated vehicle as wheel wells, heaters, water tanks, and the like.

Nurse salaries are climbing considerably across the nation, according to recently released employer survey data.
The 2009 Compensation Data Healthcare results compiled by Compdata Surveys show wages for RNs increased by 9.2% over the last three years—which translates to an average of $61,300 per year. Previous year-to-year salary increases for nurses have been between $2,000 and $3,000.
Researchers gathered the data among more than 320,000 nurses from nearly 900 healthcare organizations across the U.S. through questionnaires. These included hospitals, long-term care and rehabilitation facilities, homecare agencies, and physician clinics. Results shows nurses on the coasts of the country have the highest salaries; nurses in the Western region will take in an average $75,300 in 2009; and those in the Northeast will make about $67,400.
The findings illustrate the healthcare industry has yearly pay increase budgets running around 3%, while other businesses have pay increases around 2%. The average nursing salary jumped up by 5.3% from 2008 to 2009 alone.
"Many of the positions within the healthcare industry continue to be in high demand and nursing positions continue to lead the pack," says Lane Odle, product marketing manager at Compdata Surveys. "The position's yearly increase of 5.3% is indicative of that."
And, based on the survey data, it appears that nurses' pockets will continue to grow.
"At this time, there is no indication that pay increases for nurses will slow down," says Odle, adding that the consistent, annual salary gains suggest nurses' pay will continue to rise. "Also, HR professionals in the industry are projecting the same pay increase budget for 2010, which means they expect the industry to be stable in the coming year."
Compdata Surveys has yet to set estimates for how much nurse' salaries will increase next year, but Odle anticipates the aging population with further drive them up.
"The Baby Boomers in the [nursing] field are nearing retirement, which will leave a number of vacant positions," she says. "Additionally, longer average life spans are expected to cause the number of individuals seeking medical care to increase exponentially. These factors will increase the demand for healthcare workers."
