for IT Service Specialists Recover
more data... Help more
Software-based tools often aren't up to solving hardware data recovery problems. And the leap from software to expert hardware-based solutions is prohibitively expensive for many general IT practitioners - and their customers. So when clients' hard drives go down, service providers tend to call on specialized data recovery experts, incurring outsourcing costs.
With RapidSpar, all of that can change. It gives service providers a portable, easy-to-use tool to handle more data recovery cases in-house - strengthening their credibility as a technology partner and securing client relationships for the long term. RapidSpar solves 50% of the cases software tools fail on*. It's also more affordable and user friendly than the solutions geared for dedicated data recovery companies. That combination - of effectiveness, simplicity, and economy - means RapidSpar opens up opportunities for service providers to access previously untapped, price-sensitive data recovery niches.
RapidSpar is a small, standalone device with touchscreen controls and a built-in solid-state drive. At the heart of RapidSpar is a self-learning, cloud-based system called RapidNebula that continuously absorbs information from RapidSpar units worldwide. RapidNebula compares current data recovery cases with those solved previously to identify common problems and propose an effective course of action, functioning as a kind of 'virtual' data recovery expert.
RapidSpar is the latest innovation from DeepSpar, an Ottawa-based firm that has been pioneering data recovery solutions since 2001. Today, DeepSpar equipment is the market standard among dedicated data recovery companies. RapidSpar extends that leadership with a device format designed for IT generalists and non-expert data recovery practitioners.
DeepSpar began in 2001 as a small data recovery service provider. Finding a lack of appropriate data recovery equipment and methodologies in the marketplace, the company engaged in R&D to fill the gaps. As DeepSpar's in-house tools improved, they garnered interest from other professional data recovery service providers.
It didn't take long before requests for those tools outstripped requests for DeepSpar's services - prompting the company to wind down the service side of the business and focus exclusively on building professional data recovery technologies. Since then, DeepSpar Data Recovery Systems has dedicated all of its resources to building field-tested solutions for data recovery professionals, emerging as the market standard in data recovery and helping hundreds of organizations grow their data recovery capabilities.
More recently, DeepSpar has begun working with general IT service providers for whom data recovery is only a small part of total revenues, and who lack access to fitting solutions. Software tools have limited capabilities and carry a high risk of causing further damage and permanent data loss during the recovery process. Professional tools are expensive and require a level of technical expertise obtainable only by full-time data recovery professionals.
In October, 2015 these considerations led to the launch of RapidSpar, a project that embeds DeepSpar's extensive data recovery expertise into an easily accessible, cloud-based format. RapidSpar's unprecedented automation dramatically reduces expertise requirements and decreases total ownership cost so that part-time service providers can do more work in-house.

Executives attending Cannes Lions Health weigh in on the imbalance seen in the U.S. between branded and unbranded drug ads.
Pharma marketing has long been deemed slow to adapt. Last weekend's Lions Health festival offered a glimpse of healthcare as a first mover.
A group of Havas agencies developed a song and a ritual for a Reckitt Benckiser campaign encouraging people to use mosquito repellant.
Drugmakers test out virtual reality, partner with companies like Spotify, and go for the cinematic at Cannes Lions.
McCann Health was named Network of the Year at the Cannes Lions Health festival of creativity in Cannes.
TBWA/WorldHealth worked with Galderma to get rid of the traditional process in which an agency and its client interact in effort to improve the work.
Ogilvy & Mather London developed the campaign, called Breathless Choir and set to Sting's "Every Breath You Take."

The jurors advanced 103 entries in the pharma category of Lions Health. U.S. agencies accounted for 16 of them.
The discontinuation of the Take It From a Fish campaign can serve as an example of the common ups-and-downs of pharma marketing.
Health and wellness entries are up 42% to 2,024 in 2016, compared to 1,430 in 2015, while pharma entries increased 35% to 583 this year.

Everything from the brand promise to the campaign solution to the case-study video — it all has to be based in authenticity, he says.
MM&M asks: What was the ROI for putting a McCann Health smiley face on the steps of the Palais?
He talks about the three qualities that make for a great campaign and why conservatism will not help drugmakers address reputational issues.
It's time for meetings that revolve around rosé on the Carlton Terrace. It's also time for the professional creative inferiority complex to pop up for people who make pharma ads.

Introducing Lauterborn's 4Cs - a variant on the 4Ps
Planning models can be useful ways to structure your thinking when creating marketing plans. They can bring clarity to opaque problems and help you build and effective plan. Because of this we, are outlining 10 of the most effective digital marketing models to help you plan, manage and optimise your marketing. Next up, it's one you may not of heard of, but is related to a model you will have heard of.
What is Lauterborn's 4Cs?
In 1990 Bob Lauterborn wrote an article in Advertising Age saying how the "4Ps were dead" (an early example of clickbait?) and "today's marketer needed to address the real issues". He didn't address the 7Ps which include the service elements of the Marketing Mix model. Instead he suggested a 4C model which gives a more customer-centric take on the traditional marketing mix mapping to the 4Ps of the Marketing Mix like so:
- Consumer wants and needs - corresponding to Product in the Marketing Mix
- Cost to satisfy - corresponding to Price
- Convenience to buy - corresponding to Place
- Communication - equivalent to Promotion
What do the 4Cs mean?
Consumer wants and needs
'Consumer wants and needs' moves the focus from 'product' and being product-led, with companies making things customers didn't want. An example of this is Nokia, making lots of products, but failing to satisfy changing consumer needs and wants. The 4Cs also reminds us of the need to link the 4Ps to specific audience types through different market segment options to target.
Cost to satisfy
The second 'C' is 'Cost to satisfy', designed to replace 'price', as Lauterborn stated this was irrelevant as so many other factors were involved. This is interesting if you consider commodity goods, such as non-brand purchases from supermarkets, where supermarket buyers are forcing down the price they pay with their suppliers. This is likely to be a contributory reason why horse meat was introduced into ready meals – suppliers having to provide a 'cost to satisfy' buyers. The challenge for me is the perception of the terms 'cost to satisfy' with a company like Apple. The 'cost to satisfy' sounds more like a lower price offer and Apple products are premium-priced. Perhaps that's the key, as the cost to satisfy, for a brand like Apple, has to be higher than the competitors, to contribute towards the brand's DNA as a premium brand. The that price is managed by the brand, to ensure discounting does not take place.

The that price is managed by the brand, to ensure discounting does not take place.
Convenience to buy
The third 'C' is 'Convenience to buy' and admittedly, the 'P' for 'Place' always felt tenuous as it's really about access to the product and the letter 'P' worked in the alliterative set! Convenience to buy is an interesting concept as we live in a 24/7 always-on world. The concept of shopping from
The concept of shopping from 9am to 5pm, has gone. Although it's not that long ago (perhaps 15 years) that I remember working in Italy and the shops closed during lunch hours too. And this included supermarkets – imagine the scene – you arrive at the supermarket at 12.45pm and at 1pm you haven't completed your transaction, so you literally abandon your shopping trolley, in the store! Today trolley or cart abandonment is more likely to take place in the online world. Added to this, the development of disintermediation – giving shoppers the chance to remove the middle man and buy direct, as well as re-intermediation – the 'middle men' re-inventing themselves online, as Expedia has done (aggregating holiday offers in one place) or Skyscanner (all your flights for specific dates in one place) or the UK insurance broker 'Compare the Market' (bringing many car insurance policies to one screen, making it easier to compare). The advent of wearables takes the concept of buying 'any place, anytime, anyhow' to another level.
The final 'C' in Lauterborn's 4Cs collection is communication. Lauterborn viewed 'promotion' as manipulative and described it as a one-way system with communications pushed from company to consumer. His view of communication was that it should be about dialogue, a two-way conversation, between company and customer - an approached that has evolved as digital marketing has grown. Applying this in a digital sense, we can see customers creating communications through User Generated Content, so perhaps Lauterborn's comments were an early insight into the changing nature of customer communication.

The great thing about the Bank for International Settlements' annual report - more a commentary on the world of finance than a regular bank report - is that it acknowledges and defines the areas of uncertainty. Unlike the research departments of the commercial financial institutions, which feel they have to give a firm view of future developments, the BIS can stand back and think. This may not be quite so useful for people wanting to be told whether to buy or sell, but for anyone trying to understand what is happening it is a breath of fresh air.
In its analysis of the world economic situation, the BIS focuses on the way things turned out differently last year from previous expectations: the United States and UK did not slow down as expected, and the Japanese recovery failed to sustain itself. In the rest of Europe, small countries tended to grow swiftly while the larger ones underperformed. Yet inflation in the small countries was actually lower than in the big.
To understand the future you have first to understand the present, and one of the most useful things the BIS report does is to explain why things are not what they might have been. In particular it hints at the unsustainable nature of the US and UK expansions, where inflationary pressures have only been held down by rises in the dollar and the pound, and where the current accounts have accordingly deteriorated.
However, the BIS also points out an aspect of the US expansion which I had not fully grasped: the extent to which investment in information technology might have increased the potential for growth. The chart on the left is derived from some statistics the BIS dug out on IT investment, which last year took 20 per cent of total investment in the States. The information industry now accounts for 4 per cent of US output, against only 0.8 per cent in 1992. If you exclude the information industry, real GDP would have only grown at an average of 2.2 per cent over that period. As it was, real output rose by 2.9 per cent a year. In addition, the growth of the information industry helped hold down inflation: strip out information and inflation would have averaged 3 per cent over the period. In fact, inflation was only 2.4 per cent. If one wants a single example of American exceptionalism, this is perhaps the best.
To some extent it must also apply to the UK, where the information industry is also expanding very fast, but it would be nice to see some figures to confirm this. Worryingly, the BIS does note that continental European investment in general has been rather low, and accordingly the spare capacity there is less than might be expected. This is bad news for the continent's unemployed, for it suggests that there might be high residual unemployment, even when the economies are at full capacity.
An even bigger surprise than the divergent performance of the main developed countries last year was of course the abysmal performance of what had been the fastest-growing region, East Asia. It would not have been a complete surprise to anyone who read the previous year's BIS report, which did warn of the excessive investment that was taking place, and the price bubbles that were a-brewing in the property markets. The region was clearly vulnerable to any sharp fall-off in demand, but what everyone had failed to spot was the way in which the decline in demand would interact with a fragile financial system and companies heavily burdened with debt.
What no-one really saw was the way in which the short-term response to the financial crisis, sharp devaluations, would hit growth prospects and thereby put even more pressure on the region's banks and companies. The right-hand graph shows how estimates for the 1998 growth of the crisis- hit four (Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia and Thailand) were cut during the second half of 1997, as their currencies simultaneously collapsed.
Normally you might expect a devaluation to boost growth by encouraging exports and leading to import substitution. In this case, because one country's exports were another country in the region's imports, the devaluations had the effect of depressing the whole region.
What happens next? The BIS believes that asset prices have not been inflated by the global fund management industry to any substantial extent, but there is an implicit warning here that the present high asset prices are not sustainable. The BIS is not predicting a stockmarket crash later this year; but if there is one, it would be able to say that such an outcome was consistent with what it wrote.
The most interesting part of the report is, as usual, the final few pages of commentary at the end. It starts by pointing out the dangers of fashion. It is fashionable at the moment to take a generally positive view of the future, despite the trauma of Asia. It suggests that there is a danger of over-optimism at the moment. Just as the Asian economies were admired for their high savings and high investment, no-one focused on the fact that a lot of this investment was going into unprofitable projects. With that warning, it looks at the potential weak spots in the world economy now.
One is the imbalances among developed countries and, in particular, the rising current account deficit of the US. It sketches a scenario (not, it notes, a forecast) where US growth slows, confidence ebbs and foreign funds are suddenly withdrawn from the dollar.
Two, banking systems throughout East Asia and Japan need to be rebuilt. The weakest banks will have to be closed and the rest recapitalised.
Third, there are imbalances within the rest of the developed world. The new European Central Bank will find it difficult to set a single interest rate for the entire region, given the different cyclical position of the large and small economies; and the US and UK will have to tackle tightening labour markets, worsening trade balances and rising inflation.
Finally, the BIS asks: can we learn to cope with crises better? It concludes that crises will undoubtedly continue - we cannot hope to prevent them - so we will just have to learn to manage them as well as possible, but "it is simply not prudent to assume that everything will turn out for the best".

A brighter sounding version of Sabian's best-selling cymbal.
Topped with a solid, raw bell, the versatile Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride Cymbal delivers strong, dry stick articulation with a touch of tone at every volume.
The Sabian AA Raw-Bell Dry Ride taps into the bright, classic sounds of the award-winning cymbal company's traditional AA series. Topped by a raw, unlathed bell, this medium-heavy model is designed to deliver strong, dry stick articulation with a touch of tone at every volume. The raw bell responds with a bright, extremely solid note, while strokes across the bow area are consistently strong and cutting. A powerful cymbal by design, the Sabian Raw-Bell Dry Ride Cymbal delivers solid sticking, but with a tonal quality that makes this a surprisingly musical and versatile 'dry' design.
Commented Sabian product specialist Mark Love: "The innovative Raw-Bell design proved so popular in our Hand Hammered series (it's the choice of Phil Collins, Jose Pasillas and Geoff Dugmore amongst many others) that there was a huge demand for the same model only with a brighter, more cutting sound. This AA version has traditional wide-blade lathing circling its solid, raw-bell, so wherever a stick lands the sound is always defined, powerful and clear on every stroke. The AA Raw-Bell Dry Ride cymbal has that power and definition to deliver a kick of energy."
The bright, traditional sound of a Sabian AA cymbal offers a distinct contrast to the darker, traditional sound of the Hand Hammered series. Starting with B20 bronze multi-rolled and processed for maximum durability before being shaped to a high profile under 75 tons of hydraulic pressure and machine hammered for a tonal consistency, Sabian AA cymbals are energized, bright, and musical. A versatile series with some very specialized models, Sabian AA is ideal for any music requiring bright tonal presence, power and cut.
The Sabian AA Raw-Bell Dry Ride cymbal is crafted from Sabian B20 'cast' bronze, the world's most musical and durable cymbal metal. Available in Natural and Brilliant Finish, it is - like all Sabian AA cymbals - quality-protected by the One-Year Warranty.

Comments about Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride Cymbal:
Overall this is a nice ride cymbal. The bell has a nice sound. The only issue I have is the volume level can get loud. It is not a controlled sound. I've added a small amount of muffling which works ok. I'll never understand how some drummers can crack a ride cymbal. It is not meant for crashing hence the name "ride". I like the cymbal. It has a nice clean sound but I prefer a more controlled sound.
Comments about Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride Cymbal:
Had been looking for a ride for months. Switching from a Rogers to this cant argue with that!
Comments about Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride Cymbal:
Like I said earlier,I baught my "Dry Ride" with a crack in it ,which I repaired.I paid $111 for this cymbal and it will never crack again the way I play,which is a light jazz style!The guy who cracked this cymbal,had to be beating the absolute crap out of it.This is a very heavy cymbal,with a really nice bell and very articulate bow ping sound.The"Dry Ride"could be used in any style music!
Nice bell.Very nice sticking on the bow!
Very high quality cymbal.I baught mine with a crack in it 2-3"from the bell.Fixed it and it did not change the sound!A quality cymbal!Someone must have beat the S*** out of this cymbal to crack it.It was deffinitly not a factory flaw !
For a ride this nice,you can expect to pay this kind money for it and it is worth it!
Comments about Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride Cymbal:
Overall, this is a great cymbal that is very versatile and will last you a long time. Crashable, dynamic and responsive bell, defined bow, and all for only 265 (cheap by comparison to other great rides)
Bell is piercing but dynamic. Can be used for everything from pop to metal, but not recommended for jazz. Great for latin and world music actually too. Has a nice dark semi-dry crash - very crashable for big choruses or even gentle wash riding, but defined up top as well.
Shows no signs of breaking or cracking. Sound has not detoriated at all in 3 years of owning it. It's a very flexible cymbal even though its medium heavy, ensuring that cracking is less likely.
Fantastic value - very cheap for such good sound. I actually prefer it to the AAX, HHX, and HH models because of its ability to be crashed, and its the cheapest RBDR Sabian makes!
Comments about Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride Cymbal:
I've owned this cymbal for 2 years and I love it. It is a nice big ride, darker than a "regular" AA with the coolest bell I've ever heard. I've also got AA hi-hats, 16 crash, and 18 crash, and the 21 raw bell dry ride is my favorite.
Comments about Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride Cymbal:
I bought this ride over a year ago. It was a very sad day when I cracked it. My cymbal setup is very simple; hi-hats and a ride. For this reason I like to use a cymbal that works well as a crash and a ride. This cymbal is it. It really cuts through and sounds fantastic recorded. I'm buying a new one shortly.
Comments about Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride Cymbal:
I went to guitar center with the intent of buying a zildjian a custom ping ride....that changed as soon as tried out the rbdr. its stick definition and clarity make it cut thru any mix. the bell is as a loud as a zil bel. its also versatile. u can get so many different sounds and colors from this cymbal. hit the edge and u slowly build up a wash; hit the near the middle and get the definition and clarity u want. i feel that if u idolize prog rock gods like portnoy, peart, carey etc. this cymbal would serve u better than anything else out there.
Comments about Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride Cymbal:
I have had this cymbal for maybe 6 months or so. I went from a Sabian B8 rock ride to this, and that was a big change. At first, it took me a little while to get used to, because this ride was a good bit darker than the B8. At first, I wasn't sure if I liked this as much, but then, I got used to it. It's a great cymbal! It has a good, solid crash that is dark and does not ring too long. It gives a good stick articulation, you can hear the stick response very well. I got this cymbal because of the review in Modern Drummer, and on here, and I am glad that I did. It's served me well in all of the applications I have applied it in.
Comments about Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride Cymbal:
Let me preface this review by saying I am very picky about my equipment. I searched all over for a ride sound that had what I needed-- dry, cutting, with a great bell and great definition. This cymbal DELIVERS. Not only is it exactly what I needed, its the best ride I've ever played, from any company.
Comments about Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride Cymbal:
I went to test this out, and it had the cleanest, crispest tone out of any cymbal I've ever heard. I can't wait until I get enough money to afford it

Bound to Sin by Alistair McFadyen
Book DescriptionThis book tests the explanatory and descriptive power of the doctrine of sin in relation to two concrete situations: sexual abuse of children and the holocaust. Taking seriously the explanatory power of secular discourses for analysing and regulating therapeutic action in relation to such situations, the book asks whether the theological language of sin can offer further illumination by speaking of God and the world together. Through its discussion of abuse and the holocaust, an engagement with Augustine, original sin and feminism, a fresh and sometimes surprising perspective is offered, both on the theology of sin and on the pathologies under consideration. The understanding of sin that emerges is centred on joyful worship of the trinitarian God. This essay is more systematic and more theological than most practical, pastoral or applied theology and more practical and concrete than most systematic or constructive theology. It is a genuinely concrete, systematic theology.

The Pink Room Burlesque, the brainchild of Francine "The Lucid Dream," is back to pay tribute to the oeuvre of David Lynch in the only way it knows how: a night of surreal burly-Q performances. Congratulations are in order: Tonight marks the affair's second birthday, with Amelia Bareparts, Cassandra Rosebeetle, Matt Knife, Minx Arcana, Ruby Valentine and Francine herself channeling the Log Lady, the Lady in the Radiator and the rest of Lynch's kooky creations. Bastard Keith serves as the night's host (here's hoping he channels Frank Booth).

At a Crossroads
|February 18, 2016
|Posted by Lauren under LifeontheRun
I never meant to abandon this blog. Not truly. Even with the sporadic nature of my updates, I still liked knowing the site was here. Still entertained thoughts of writing regularly at some point. But life got a little bit crazy and a lot bit stressful, and as time went on I found myself less willing to share the details. And that's the thing about blogging — if you can't share your life (even a small part of it), if you can't be authentic, there doesn't seem much point in continuing. At least not to me.
The main fact of the matter is this: I'm not the same person who started this blog. My running has suffered recently, my priorities have shifted, and my day to day life looks very different. That's not a bad thing. Everyone evolves with time. But in many ways I feel as though I've outgrown Health on the Run…or at least changed enough that it doesn't really feel right to blog here anymore.
So no, this is not a revival. This isn't necessarily a goodbye forever, either. But it's a brief update. My hosting for Health on the Run is set to expire soon and I currently have no plans to renew it. I am sure this will surprise no one. But even still, it was a tough decision — hard to fully let go after all the time I've dedicated to this space over the last few years.
That being said, I don't actually want everything that is up here to disappear. So I'm in the process of moving it all over to a free WordPress.com site. I can't promise that I'll ever do anything with that site…it's more to preserve the posts that already exist than anything else. Assuming it works (which, let's just cross our fingers and hope it does), the address should stay the same. But in case it doesn't, I wanted to let any of you still reading here know that it may be going away.
So where am I leaving you? Well it's not some dramatic, awesome ending that I had envisioned (as if that's really possible anyway). Life is always changing, and things look pretty different now than they did just a few months ago. The basic story:
We had a stressful summer filled with lots of uncertainty followed up by an even more stressful fall. After a lot of waiting, agonizing, and discussion, Evan and I made the decision to leave Vermont to pursue an exciting new opportunity (for him). We spent the entire month of October apart, prepared to move to one part of the state of Massachusetts, and then suddenly everything changed again. Evan took another new position and our family redirected our home search to Central Massachusetts. I can tell you up front that this was not the dream location I had envisioned for our family. And it's hard to give up living in a place you truly love — my favorite place I've ever lived — for a place you never ever saw yourself moving to. Life is funny like that though.
Of course this big change meant that I needed to leave my job. So at the very end of October, we moved in with family while we searched for a house and I began a new phase as a stay at home mom. I won't lie — it's a bit weird to be home now with a toddler after spending the first (almost) two years of her life working. But there were a lot of issues with my old job (not the least of which was the fact that it was temporary — public health grant life) and many, many days that I wished I could be home with Amelia instead of in the office. Where I agonized over constantly having to divide myself between working-Lauren and mom-Lauren. Never being able to fully devote myself to either. Always falling behind a little bit in one or the other. So I am soaking up this time at home with my little one while I have it. It has been a new adventure, not without its struggles of course — especially living in someone else's house — but a phase I am trying to appreciate as much as I can. Particularly since I don't expect it to be permanent.
Unfortunately all those months of stress and uncertainty combined with a few other personal issues caused my running to suffer. We ran a few races in August (a 5K and the 100on100 relay) and I felt incredibly burned out and drained afterward…despite the fact that my training wasn't particularly heavy. I ran both races without much bounce in my step and realized that maybe I just needed a mental break. I have been running in some capacity since I was 14 years old. And so of course I expect to go through periods like this. But if I'm being perfectly honest, running hasn't been quite the same since Amelia was born. That may sound like a sad revelation, but I'm surprisingly okay with it. This is the phase of life that I'm in now…maybe someday it'll be different, or maybe I will continue to grow and evolve in different ways. Only time will tell.
All I know is that running has been a driving force in life for almost as long as I can remember. It helps to define who I am, and (when going well) can bring me incredible joy and satisfaction. So no matter what it looks like — whether I'm just jogging a few days a week or training hard for my next goal race — running will always be a part of me in some way. We can never stay distant for very long.
On the housing front: we are finally set to close on our new home in a few weeks. A house in a town further outside of Worcester than we were originally looking, but one where I think (hope!) we will be very happy. A place that reminds us of Vermont…at least, as much Vermont as you can find in Central Mass. We are so excited to start this next chapter of our lives there. To finally SETTLE somewhere after all this time in limbo.
And, last but certainly not least, after a long wait we are so excited to announce that our little family will be growing this summer!
She looks super excited about it too, right??
So there you have it. Lots of changes: some okay, some great. All in all I think 2016 is going to be a very exciting year. I'm sorry I probably won't be around to share it here, but I will still be
over-sharing posting regularly on Instagram if you'd like to take a peak at our current happenings. I will warn you though — it's a lot more kid-focused than running these days.
And who knows? Maybe someday I will get hit by the blogging bug again. But until then – THANK YOU! Thank you for reading. Thank you for supporting me through so much change over the past 4 years. For the comments and the emails and the connections I've made through this site — I will be eternally grateful.
Over and out.

Probably a stupid question but..~
One of the stables my trainer works at (The same stable with Apollo, the big Friesian stud) has this cute Appaloosa stallion named Ritchie that I get to lead around and work with. He's sweet as pie, pretty as can be and I enjoy working with him. He's well behaved and to be honest, I didn't realize he was a stallion until Jocelyn pointed it out to me. :shock: I felt so stupid. :oops:
ANYWAY. Turns out, poor little guy is blind now ): He wasn't ridden at all (If I remember, he did a lot of halter and that was it?) My question is, can you train a blind horse to be ridden?
Yes you can :)
I'm sure its difficult and you have to have a great bond with the horse, but the outcome can be just as rewarding.
Here's a video of a woman and her blind horse in a trail class. Its absolutely amazing
Wow! That's my horse, Smokey, and I! What a nice surprise to see our video here. That was part one, here is part two:
I also have a page about him on my website:
Smokey - Blind Horse
Working with a blind horse has been an amazing experience with endless rewards. I smile every single day because of him and all that he has taught me about patience, tolerance, love, trust, respect and an endless desire to reach for the sky!
We have gone through some serious trials and very scary situations, but due to the bond that we have established, he trusts me absolutely. I tell everyone, it's about making the right decisions that are right for the individual horse. Smokey was able to handle being blind; he just needed time to adjust and know that I would do everything in my power to keep him safe and happy. 12 years and counting since he went blind, the sky truly is the limit :)
That's wonderful to see, Angie. Thanks for sharing that with us. I would love to watch you train some time.
I would say that training a blind horse is the ultimate in trust and bonding - time and patience.
Thank-you Angie, that is truely inspirational. My mare T has lost her sight in her right eye, and after adapting we are out trail riding as usual. She is now sight challenged in her left eye, but I'm hopeful that we will still enjoy the trails together with a few adjustments.
Thanks so much for showing what is possible when you have a horse that trusts you!
You can. I remember an article in I believe AQHA journal or something like that about a woman who trained her blind horse to do dressage, and she was getting places in high rank competitions. BTW, the horse was absolutely gorgeous.
However you have to have lots of trust between blind horse and a rider, and have to be very exact with the cues, because the horse completely depends on you.
Angie....that was phenomenal!!! I browsed your website too...Very impressive!!!
appylover thanks for posting that video! one of my favorite parts of horseforum is seeing stuff I would never find on my own.
Angie, that is inspirational. Makes me want to work on my horsemanship.
So cool!

In reviewing the manuscript, Dr. Shelby was struck by certain language in the introductory section that had a very familiar, yet not immediately recognizable, ring to it. After finishing the paper, which she found reasonably well prepared, she continued to experience a nagging feeling over the language that seemed to echo something she had read before.
Upon further contemplation, Dr. Shelby recollected a thesis prepared several years ago by an M.D./Ph.D. student at Chandler who worked under Dr. Crain's tutelage. She had reviewed the paper as a member of the thesis committee. By calling the medical library, Dr. Shelby was able to obtain a copy of the thesis and realized that Dr. Crain' s introduction incorporated nearly word-for-word the history of therapeutic advances in leukemia described by the student. She considered calling Dr. Crain about the problem, but dreaded the idea of a direct confrontation. She was then on the verge of calling Dr. William Sachs, the head of the oncology department at Cruxton, when she realized that Dr. Sachs was a coauthor on the paper. She feared that Dr. Sachs might not take her complaint to heart.

Our definition of a good trip is one where you can hardly wait for it to begin, are ready to return home at the end, and one that is filled with wonderful adventures and memorable events in the middle. That definition certainly applies to our trip to India.

India!? Why would you want to go there? Is it a church mission trip?
That's the response from a number of folks, sometimes with a look, other times with words, when we've shared the location of our next travel destination. So, how does one answer? Do we explain the sense of adventure attached to such a trip, or the interesting novels we've read that are situated in India. Should we point out how fascinating it might be ...

The sense of connection to man's long history became unmistakable as we explored the huge underground city in Cappadocia and later the ruins of Ephesus.

Political Parties And Coalition Formation
This chapter gives a flavour of recent theoretical work on coalition formation and political parties. I survey recent work on both pre-election coalition formation and post election coalition (or government) formation. A number of alternative rationales for the formation of parties are compared with the help of some illustrative examples.

Dear Friends,
Frequently in my 28 years as an educator I've recognized how fortunate I am to have been chosen for this calling. None more special than the joy I see in the eyes of students each day. A few years ago for a "fundraiser" staff pooled money & gifted me a chance to teach a lesson on penguins to William Harris' class. I was nervous! Even as the principal, I was anxious to be the teacher that day. All class William shook his head side to side, not sure I was "doing it right". By the end, he gave a thumbs up, his approval.
Meet William!
I met William Harris in middle school, now he's a happy-go-lucky 18 year old that needs our support. William was born with Down Syndrome and Intractable Epilepsy. During 8th grade at Madison he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. William underwent 2 1/2 years of chemotherapy, bone marrow biopsies, spinal taps, and had multiple prolonged intensive care admissions, as a result of seizures and pneumonia. William has conquered all and is still smiling!
As a result of the treatment, the chemotherapy left William with Osteonecrosis. This is a permanent deadening of the bone/joints, and in his case, the hips and shoulder. William is wheelchair bound, and enduring therapy at Marianjoy to build muscle to get back on his feet.
The Challenge!
The Harris' are in need of modifications for their home, but due to the financial status in Illinois they've been waiting for assistance with no promise of help arriving soon. In addition to covering the cost of modifications, the medical bills are staggering. There are several necessities that the Harris' need to ensure William's safety, as well as their own.
· A stair lift to the second floor
· A ramp leading into the house from the garage
· An adjustable hospital bed
· A handicapped accessible bathroom/remodel
Their Inspiration, Our Response!
You wouldn't believe what the three of them are enduring every day; their strength is incredible and with your support, we can lighten their load. No one is more worthy than William becoming more independent in his own home. Like all parents, they want to offer the best care in the safest environment for William! We can help.
I am being "arrested" as part of WILLIAM'S JAIL & BAIL EVENT on Saturday, April 23rd. As part of this event, I'm reaching out to friends, family, & colleagues seeking warm hearts to dig into deep pockets to donate. Honestly, I'm not sure how the event works, I'm supposed to earn money to raise bail, but, I just want to raise as much money as possible!
Don't wait until April 23, donate today! I'm competitive; I bet you are, too! This is personal to me.
1. I love kids.
2. I love William!
3. His family is an inspiration of positivity (His mom, Jeanette, the District Supervisor of Health Services) has a radiant smile and positive outlook on life. She and husband Joe have a 2013 NCHS graduate who attends Marquette and is William's hero.
Erin Anderson, Principal Madison JHS

Alto saxophonist/composer Tsahar further investigates what 3rd stream music left behind, a gorgeous exploration of sound and movement with percussionist Nakatani and the KJLA String 4tet.
Tsahar, Sahar Project / Nakatani / The Kjla String Fourtet
Label: Hopscotch Records
Released in: USA
"The first cooperative venture between Israeli reed man Assif Tsahar and Japanese conceptual percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani, both based in New York, focused on investigating the more abstract regions of free jazz (Come Sunday, Hopscotch, 2004). Tsahar exerted more control than sweaty power, and Nakatani proved himself a most singular and versatile percussionist. Nakatani hardly ever uses a regular drum kit and is very close in spirit to another sonic master, German percussionist Paul Lovens. On Solitude, with the KJLA string quartet, they expand their sonic studies further into free-form tone poems.
Out of the nine tracks on Solitude, eight are group improvisations, and the title track that concludes this disc is a Duke Ellington standard. The first track, the tender "Love Is," sets the dark tone for this release. Tsahar's somber bass clarinet soars over Nakatani's murmuring bells and the drone of the strings. The sonorities on the longest track, "Unmoving," are more abstract, and the strings sometimes sound as if they are imitating overtone throat-singing. They add to Tsahar's breathy blowing on the tenor sax and Nakatani's distant drumming until all the tension climaxes in muscular interplay. "Sand Between a Toe" is more playful and the sax and strings play a sort of hide-and-seek game.
The tone poem "The Epistemology of Loss" (dedicated to poet John Berryman, after one of his well-known poems, "The Ball Poem") and the following track, "Of Amazing Most Now" (dedicated to poet e.e. cummings, after his famous poem "i thank You God for most this amazing"), are dense contemplations that capture the realization of loss in the Berryman poem and cummings' sensory bewilderment.
"Blue Sun" retains the same tense, dark atmosphere. The tones become more clearer on "Falling," where Nakatani's tap drumming interlocks with the pizzicato strumming of the strings while Tsahar's bass clarinet navigates the turmoil into more coherent lines. Only then does violinist Audrey Chen manage to stand out with her exceptional technique. This continues on the free-improv "By and By," where all the members of the string quartet are much more prominent. The strings on Ellington's "Solitude" sound a bit dry and detached, but Tsahar contrasts this deficiency with a rich and soulful tone.
Solitude managse to draw a cohesive aesthetic that is very similar in spirit to earlier high-energy efforts by Tsahar, with more colors and shades, more control over expressiveness�but still same intelligence and passion. It may demand more from the listener, but it guarantees an exceptional reward."-Eyal Hareuveni, All About Jazz

The debate over a new London airport was unexpectedly re-opened as the Chancellor acknowledged that the Government "must confront" the lack of capacity in the South-east of England.
Saying the UK should not "cut ourselves off from the fastest growing cities in the world", he said the Transport Secretary, Justine Greening, would set out Government thinking this summer.
Heathrow, the world's busiest airport in terms of international passengers, is almost at full capacity – but ministers have ruled out building a third runway because of environmental and residents' concerns. David Cameron has shown growing interest in proposals for an airport in the River Thames estuary, backed by the London Mayor, Boris Johnson.
George Osborne also signalled that the planning system, whose traditional purpose has been to control development in the countryside, was about to be transformed into a tool for encouraging economic growth.
He disclosed that the highly-controversial National Planning Policy Framework would be published by the Communities Secretary, Eric Pickles, next Tuesday, and he made it clear what it would contain – in his own words, "new growth-friendly planning rules".
He confirmed that the much-criticised "presumption in favour of sustainable development" would remain, and he indicated that ordinary countryside would lose the special status it currently has, saying that the new system would protect "our most precious environments".
He made no reference to the review of the Habitats Regulations which prevent large-scale development on wildlife sites of international importance. But it emerged last night that the review will be published this morning.

For the CIA these days, just when it seems matters cannot get worse, they do. After being numbed by the Ames affair, excoriated over Guatemala and caught red-handed spying against two US allies, the agency now admits supplying a succession of presidents with intelligence on the Soviet Union and Russia which it knew almost certainly came from agents controlled by Moscow.
Such is the latest - but in all likelihood not the final - chapter of the case of Aldrich Ames, played out before aghast congressional committees, which at one point came close to eliciting an unheard-of formal reprimand by John Deutch, the CIA director, of no fewer than three of his predecessors.
It has been more than 20 months since Ames was arrested after being unmasked as the most damaging mole in CIA history. Since then one embarrassment after another has been heaped upon the agency, as it attempts to gauge the full extent of the havoc wreaked by its former Soviet branch counter- intelligence chief, now serving a life sentence without parole in a federal prison in Pennsylvania.
None though has matched the admission of Mr Deutch on Capitol Hill last week that a new, post-Ames internal investigation by the CIA's inspector general, Frederick Hitz, had shown that "tainted" information - i.e. data supplied by Soviet agents installed by the KGB to replace those betrayed by Ames during his nine years of treachery, between 1985 and 1994 - was contained in top-secret "blue border" intelligence reports, delivered by hand to a president.
On the basis of this bogus information, purporting to show hitherto unsuspected weapons advances by Moscow, the US may have decided to go ahead with fresh arms programmes of its own. The Pentagon is launching a study to assess the damage, and officials say "billions of dollars" may have been wasted on weapons the country did not need.
If so, and by a fine stroke of irony, Moscow would have successfully imitated one US strategy in the closing stages of the Cold War: of trying to bleed one's superpower opponent dry by forcing him into an ever more costly arms race. The US may have won in the end, but the Kremlin may have scored smaller victories along the way.
For Mr Deutch, the CIA's blundering was "an inexcusable lapse in elementary intelligence practices" - so inexcusable that Mr Hitz is said to have sought reprimands for three former directors, William Webster, Robert Gates, and James Woolsey who resigned at the end of 1994 amid congressional fury over his refusal to mete out stern punishment to agency officers involved with the Ames debacle.
For the time being, the trio have wriggled out of trouble by sending a joint letter to Mr Deutch protesting that they were not informed that suspect information was being passed to the White House. Indeed, they say if anyone is to blame it is Mr Hitz, who failed to mention the practice in an earlier report. Not relishing such invidious judgement of his peers, the current CIA director let them off the hook. But Congress many not be so easily satisfied.
One influential Democrat, Bob Kerrey, vice-chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, insists that unless the three are held personally accountable, "I don't know how the CIA will ever recover credibility with customers who are basing billion-dollar and life-and-death decisions on that intelligence." Mr Kerrey's chance may come this week, when the three are expected to be summoned to testify at fresh hearings into the fiasco.
One thing though is clear, that Mr Deutch's task of restoring the prestige and morale of the battered CIA is harder than ever. Quite apart from the Ames affair, the agency was forced in September to discipline a dozen officers for covering up human rights abuses in Guatemala in the early 1990s. Similar ructions concerning Honduras are reportedly imminent. Separately, the CIA has been caught this year conducting industrial espionage against France and Japan, close allies of the US.
