NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Snail mail might soon get even slower.
The cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service announced Tuesday that it will incur about $238 billion in losses in the next 10 years if Congress doesn't permit it to revamp its outdated business model.
The agency is proposing an adjusted mail service schedule, which will likely cut Saturday delivery, and eliminating its prepaid retiree health benefits. That alone, it says, will cut $90 billion in costs over the next 10 years.
The challenges hurting USPS's bottom line reflect a "macro change in society," Postmaster General Jack Potter said at a press conference Monday previewing the proposed changes. "All posts around the world are challenged, just as we are, by the diversion of hard copy to electronic medium."
USPS unveiled a list of cost cutting measures, including closing some branches and raising its prices, two moves which would both require Congressional approval. The agency also said that it expects to save another $123 billion between now and 2020 by renegotiating transportation contracts, cutting work hours, and expanding use of self-service kiosks in grocery stores and other popular retail spots -- measures that don't require Congressional approval.
USPS is trying to curb steep losses. It posted a $3.8 billion loss in its 2009 fiscal year, the latest in a multiyear string of whopping losses. Mail volume was down 12.7% for the year, a trend the agency expects to continue over the next decade as more consumers opt for online bill payments and message delivery.
The Post Office was $10 billion in debt as of Sept. 30 -- not far off from its $15 billion debt limit, which the agency expects to hit in its 2011 fiscal year.
USPS spent $4.8 million on studies by outside consultants, Accenture, the Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey and Co. to forecast a 10-year outlook and present a plan that the agency calls both "ambitious and aggressive." Any changes to the government agency's business model would have to be reviewed by the Postal Regulatory Commission, presented in a series of public hearings and approved by Congress.
The Post Office, an independent government agency, does not receive taxpayer dollars and is funded entirely by its own revenue. However, the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 constrains the agency's operations. It prohibits USPS from closing small branches based solely on economic factors, and prevents the agency from expanding its services beyond postal delivery.
Post offices in some countries, including Italy and Japan, have boosted their sales by offering ancillary services, like banking. But unless Congress steps in, USPS cannot expand beyond the postal-mail realm.
Postmaster General Potter said relaxing some of the agency's stringent regulations could allow it to tap into its strengths as one of the largest retail networks in America, as well as "The Most Trusted Government Agency" -- a title USPS has won the last five years in a row.
With 32,000 post offices throughout the country, USPS has more retail locations than McDonald's (MCD, Fortune 500), Starbucks (SBUX, Fortune 500), Wal-Mart (WMT, Fortune 500) and Walgreens (WAG, Fortune 500) combined, Thomas Dohrmann, partner at McKinsey & Company, said in the presentation Monday. That said, the average foot traffic for a post office is about one tenth of that at Walgreens -- a mere 600 weekly customers.
USPS has already begun taking the axe to its budget. The agency made $6 billion in cuts last year, reducing its workforce by about 40,000 employees and chopping overtime hours, transportation costs and other expenses. Congress passed legislation allowing the organization to cut retiree health benefit payments by $4 billion.
Despite those measures, the agency still expects a net loss of $7.8 billion in fiscal 2010.
USPS employs about 600,000 workers and currently has a nationwide hiring freeze. Additionally, Chief Financial Officer Joseph Corbett says he expects to reduce its payrolls by the equivalent of 50,000 full-time employees in fiscal 2010 through natural attrition and by reducing overtime hours. The agency also wants to renegotiate its contracts with four unions in order to gain greater flexibility in scheduling part-time workers and moving employees across departments.
A significant postal price hike is also under consideration, although the price most consumers care about -- the rate for a first-class stamp -- is locked in at 44 cents for 2010.
"At the end of the day, I'm convinced that if we make the changes that are necessary, we can continue to provide universal service for America for decades to come," Potter said. "We can turn back from the red to the black, but there are some very significant changes that are going to have to be made."

Jennifer Lawrence has maintained her title as the world's highest paid actress for the second straight year.
The Hunger Games star, 26, earned an estimated $46 million before tax from June, 2015 to June this year (2016), topping the list compiled by editors at America's Forbes magazine.
Adding another entry to the holiday comedy genre, Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston star in the forthcoming Paramount Pictures project "Office Christmas Party."
Jennifer Aniston has taken aim at gossip mongers' constant objectification and scrutiny of women in a passionate new essay.
Last month, tabloid editors and online gossips went crazy after vacation shots of the former Friends star and her husband Justin Theroux left them feeling sure the images offered photographic evidence the actress was pregnant.
It's no secret that she's adored by millions and now Jennifer Aniston is the Most Beautiful Woman in the World according to the new issue of People magazine.
The "Horrible Bosses" babe shared her feelings regarding the illustrious title- "I thought, 'Oh my God.' There was this sort of very excited, teenage-y kind of moment."
Jennifer Aniston "flubbed" her lines during her first ever scene opposite Julia Roberts.
Celebrating the matriarchs that make the world go 'round, Garry Marshall's "Mother's Day" is coming to theaters on April 29th.
Jennifer Aniston is embarrassed by some of the films she's made.
The former Friends actress no longer feels pressured to take on so many projects, revealing that when she was younger she worked and worked. But these days has been cutting back more, and that includes saying no to projects she doesn't believe in.
Giving the old rom-com genre new life, Garry Marshall is gearing up to release his latest masterpiece, titled "Mother's Day."

I had the pleasure last week of being interviewed by Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor, for the Freedom of Religion Foundation's radio/ podcast program, Freethought Radio. We talk about anger as a driving force for social change; the Santa Delusion and whether "religion makes people happy" is a good argument for religion; some of the best arguments against religion; and more. All in the context of discussing my new book, "Why Are You Atheists So Angry? 99 Things that Piss Off the Godless" (now available in audiobook, ebook, and print!).
On the same program, you can listen to Russian female punk band Pussy Riot protest the government in an Orthodox church, and hear Robert Ingersoll's "Declaration of the Free" set to music.
It's a good time. Dan and Annie Laurie are smart and charming, and we had a really fun and lively conversation. Check it out!

As a follow up to 2010's excellent album Made Like Us, Paper Tiger--the live DJ/producer for Minneapolis-based Doomtree--is readying the release of his new (appropriately titled) EP called Summer. It won't be out until Aug. 14, but we're premiering "Gold Pass" here today!
The track pounds; do not be fooled by that opening acoustic guitar. Tiger has made a beat with a real sense of movement. There are lulls--like when you first hear the vocal sample and footstep-like percussion--and they're followed by wider, bassy drums and electronic effects that mimic the sounds of crickets and birds chirping. Overall "Gold" feels like somebody's being chased outside. But then there's this one swooping sound that comes in and out of the track like a UFO, and it provides a needed touch of mystery to the whole landscape. Very cool. Listen below.

VIMUN is a conference for students and academics from 18 to 35 years of age simulating the work of the United Nations. Each participant ("Delegate") can choose a committee and a country to represent. Each Delegate has to research a country, take on the role as a diplomat, investigate international issues, debate, consult, and then develop a solution on the given topic. Established in 1995, VIMUN has become one of the most recognized Model United Nations (MUN) worldwide. Since the committee sessions are held directly at the original conference rooms of the UN, VIMUN participants are experienceing the unique and very authentic atmosphere of the United Nations at first hand. Determined to offer up-to-date topics we have set up 7 Committees for the simulation from which to choose a country to represent: 1) Security Council (SC) - Discussion on an urgent crisis 2) Humand Rights Council (HRC) - Relevance of Human Rights in the 21st Century 3) International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) - Illicit Nuclear Trafficking 4) United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) - Prevalence of the Use of Alcohol 5) International Monetary Fund (IMF) - The Sovereign Debt Crisis: Europe and the IMF 6) International Court of Justice (ICJ) - Territorial Disputes 7) Historic Council (HISTO) - League of Nations 1931: The Mukden Incident as the Pretext of the Japanese Imperialistic Intentions in East Asia Furthermore, it is a great opportunity to meet about 250 people from more than 40 countries and engage with them in interesting discussions. Next to extensive negotiations over the period of four days, a broad social program is offered each evening (welcome dinner, gala reception, intercultural night and clubbing). Do not hesitate to forward this invitation to your members, friends, students, and to advertise VIMUN on your website. Please check also our website http://www.vimun.org for more information, to see the list of open countries/committees and to remain updated on the registration.

You could look here:
If she's a typical tourist, you could use any of the "Basic English for Travellers", "Survival English for Travellers" type books as a textbook. That is, she needs 'phrase-book' English.
If she's not a typical tourist, then the answer would depend on the type of her atypicality.

Yarok 3rd Anniversary
Hello friends & family of Yarok! We just wanted to take a moment and thank all of you who made it to the Yarok Beauty Kitchen 3rd Anniversary Ultimate "Jujing" Party. It was tremendous seeing so many of you make it out to support Yarok, Bogavia, W3LL People, and SH Lifestyles, especially the new faces that graced the Beauty Kitchen that night.
The party was a huge success with a grand turn-out, and it was so gratifying to see every one looking so beautiful and refreshed after their complimentary services. We hope we've succeeded in proving that you can look and feel your best through organic beauty.
We are truly blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful, supportive, and fun people! Of course, we also want to thank Bogavia, W3LL People, and SH Lifestyles for being fabulous hosts and helping to make this event possible.
Here's to many more successful years at the Yarok Beauty Kitchen. And don't wait another year before coming by to visit us!
Metropolitan Museum Punk
Every year The Metropolitan Museum puts on a fabulous exhibit where a fashion icon or era is honored. This is one of the biggest events in NYC. EVERYONE who's anyone comes to this event. So let's look at the looks.. This year was PUNK!
Elizabeth Banks
Simple elegant and slicked back. Gold and shiny and gorgeous but not sure how punky.
Miley Cyrus
Well, even though the theme was junk I'm not sure I can forgive the porcupine look. Anyone?
Usually she can do no wrong in my eyes but she looks like she went swimming in tuna catching net infested waters. I would like to get my feet on her shoes though. Anyway she looks happy and we love her :)
Sarah Jessica Parker.
Only she can wear a stunning ball gown and a mohawk and look fabulous. How does she do it?
Anne Hathaway.
Still making the most of her short hair since shaving it for Les Miserable, this was useful for the punk look. Short and peroxide with an elegant black lace dress and heavy eyes. Looking good.
Jenny from the block (she'll always be that to me)
Her hair always looks stunning so it's nice to see her with an interesting undo.
Earth Day 2013
For Earth Day 2013, we wanted to do something special and give back to our New York fan base.
Dressed in white, we took Yarok products to Union Square Market. Theadora and Alyona wore flowers in their hair while strolling past the fruits and vegetable in the market, giving away Yarok gifts.
"I Dream Of" Gala
"I Dream Of" Gala Event at ABC Carpet was dreamy indeed…
The 4th Annual Art Production Fund Benefit honored Yoko Ono and Richard Pandiscio.
The event included a wish tree, for guests to write their wishes and hang them on the tree while they sipped Moët & Chandon champagne, listened to chill Indian music by DJ Donna D'Cruz, and photographer Bill Cunningham took photos… Every guests took home Yarok's Feed Your Do.

No strings? Try hopelessly tangled. Serengeti Shifters, Book 4
Zoe King is itching to get out of Three Rocks. Sure, the pride is more progressive with her brother in charge. She's just got a bad case of wanderlust…and an even worse case of the hots for Tyler Minor.
The pride's mechanic sets her senses on fire one second, then shuts down and walks away the next. Before she hits the road for good, this lioness decides it's time to bring their cat-and-mouse game to a satisfying end.
Twenty years ago, Tyler's father walked out and left him with a mountain of responsibility. Now that his younger siblings are settled, the last thing he wants or needs is another obligation. Which is exactly what he'll get if he screws around with the Alpha's sister.
When Zoe offers—more like demands—a no-strings affair, temptation wins and he finds his hands in places they shouldn't be, and his thoughts straying to words like his. But Zoe's got her own ideas about possessive, chest-banging males. And they don't include white picket fences…or letting Tyler keep her out of the danger zone when an outside threat to the pride's secrecy becomes all too real.

- - anubias on driftwood
anubias on driftwood does anyone know off hand how they manage to get the driftwood welded into the holes on the driftwood when you see anubias on driftwood? On my piece it almost looks like its epoxy :lol: I want to drill some shallow holes and do something similar to plant anubias on the giant driftwood in my 110g. If I attach it with string or rubber bands they pick at it until it pulls free. |
the anubias on driftwood i just recieven, the hole was drilled all the way thru the wood, so could proibly plant the plant in the substrate and just have the plant come up thru the hole,, but i didnt, the roots were long enought they kinda wrapped around the wood.. |
I look for a crevice or hole in the wood and gently maneuver the rhizome partly into it. |
I just place the plant into a secure hole and eventually the roots will either stick to the wood, or find their way in to the gravel, I just did this with a crypt as well. I've never had a problem using rubber bands though, I usually wrap them pretty tight around the wood and roots, so unless you have piranhas,you should be ok lol |
I am having issue with my anubias as well. I have attached it several time and it keeps floating. I swear my fish watch me go through all the effort to place it and then wait for me to tun my back so they can begin moving it. Darn fish! I do have a Java Fern that finally attached because the fish left it alone long enough. I guess persistence is the key. |
Have you tried string to attach your anubia's? I used string and rubber bands to attach my coffeefolia, to my driftwood and 2 months later, its standing on its own lol |
I have tried string but not rubber bands. That might be next. You wouldn't think it would be hard but... the fish work against me sometimes. I guess when it comes down to it, it is their home and I shouldn't fight so hard to decorate it in a way they obviously feel is wrong. ha ha I guess they either don't care for the Anubias or they want it floating. lol |
I have had success using string for both anubias and java ferns. I use 3 or 4 feet of string and wrap from multiple directions, finishing with a couple of good old granny knots. Now, does anyone have any ideas on keeping my cory cats from uprooting my microsword? I swear that nothing gives them greater pleasure than ripping that stuff out of the gravel. |
Ive tried rubber bands, but not string. I wont be going back to it anytime soon, the severums are using it to lay eggs on :) |

"Hustlers of the world, there is one Mark you cannot beat: the Mark Inside."
William S. Burroughs
"Diverting the internal traffic between the Writer as Angel of Light and the Writer as Hustler is that scribbling child in a grown-up body wondering if anybody is listening."
Herbert Gold
"Had the prosecution told me that Hustler magazine had to go, then we would be upstairs picking a jury now, ... but they didn't ask for that. They just asked for the explicit videos."
Larry Flynt
"[Then there's] Hustler ... smut peddler who cares."
"The secret of success is to try always to improve yourself no matter where you are or what your situation may be. Learn all you can. Don't see how little you can do, but how much you can do. Such a man will always be in demand, for he establishes the reputation of being a hustler."
Jonathan A. Dublin
"We've got some really good hustlers. Becky Book is just incredible and Amber Bietz is all over the floor. We're really proud of that back row, ... We've moved Delainye and Jamie into that middle back for defense and that has been a huge plus for us."
Linda Christensen
"She is very consistent, both on her serve and defensively. She's a great hustler."
Megan Winstead
"She's a hustler, she's a beast on the boards and she can take over a game if she wanted to, but I think right now, she's just putting the energy where we need it.. In our defense and attacking on offense, she can be an unstoppable force."
Liz Shimek
"He was my favorite player because of the way he played the game. Pete Rose was a hustler. He really loved to play the game. Kirby had the same energy as Pete Rose, but he also was flamboyant. He carried a big smile. I called Kirby a natural leader. He was vocal, but also led by example. Everything he did, he did it right and hard."
Charlie Manuel
"As a man grows older he has one choice to make, be either a gangster, hustler, playboy, or nerd; I chose all of thee above."

Based on Mordecai Richler's prize-winning comic novel, Barney's Version is the warm, wise, and witty story of Barney Panofsky (Paul Giamatti), a seemingly ordinary man who lives an extraordinary life.
Barney's candid confessional spans four decades and two continents, and includes three wives (Rosamund Pike, Minnie Driver, and Rachelle Lefevre), one outrageous father (Dustin Hoffman), and a charmingly dissolute best friend (Scott Speedman). Barney's Version takes us through the many highs – and a few too many lows – of a long and colorful life with an unlikely hero at its center – the unforgettable Barney Panofsky.

Linda Sorenson TV Shows
When thirtysomething debuted in 1987 it was attacked by some critics as being a self-indulgent examination of the minutiae of yuppie life. Before the first season was over, some of those same critics were covering their tracks by calling it "the most improved show on television." Producers Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz had teamed up before on Family and would go on to create My So-Called Life, Relativity and Once and Again. Often using feature-film techniques, their brand of what could be called "reality" television tackled not only the small subjects, but the big ones too, all the way from life to death, as they followed their characters on the road from the idealism of youth to the search for security and responsibility as they glided toward middle age.
Sam and Max is about a dog and a rabbity thing. That's what you would think when you first see it. Then you would notice that the dog is six feet tall and dresses like a Canine Columbo. You would also take note that the rabbit is 3 feet tall and wears nothing but a manic grin. These bizarre creatures are Sam and Max, the Freelance Police. Getting their orders in the form of brief, cryptic phone calls from the Commissioner, a man who they have never met but is the duo's only contact with any real government agency, Sam and Max battle evil villains everywhere from the moon to the past to their back yard. They are assisted by The Geek, a teenage genius who lives in Sam and Max's Sub-Basement of Solitude. Throughout all of their battles and quests, Sam and Max's own style of humor, although zany and weird, allows them to make it in what they do.
Masters of Horror
In 2002, director Mick Garris invited some director friends to an informal dinner at a restaurant in Sherman Oaks, California. The original ten "masters" attending were John Carpenter, Larry Cohen, Don Coscarelli, Joe Dante, Guillermo Del Toro, Garris, Stuart Gordon, Tobe Hooper, John Landis and Bill Malone. The dinner was an extremely satisfying experience for the directors; a welcome night of camaraderie, humor and mutual admiration of one another's work. Del Toro coined the name of the group in jest when he told a nearby diner celebrating her birthday that the masters of horror wished her a happy birthday.[citation needed]
Subsequently, Garris organized regular dinners with the group, and invited other horror and genre directors to attend including Dario Argento, Eli Roth, David Cronenberg, Tim Sullivan, Rob Zombie, Bryan Singer, William Lustig, Lucky McKee, Ernest Dickerson, Kat O' Shea, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, James Gunn, Mary Lambert, Tom Holland, Peter Medak, Ti West, Lloyd Kaufman and others.
In 2005, Garris created and produced an original anthology television series of one hour movies, written and directed by many of the "Masters" which was originally broadcast in the U.S. on the Showtime cable network. In several international territories, the films were released theatrically. The series debuted to excellent reviews in the U.S. on October 28, 2005 with the premiere episode "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road", co-written and directed by Don Coscarelli. New episodes premiered every Friday at 10pm EST throughout the series' two seasons. The show followed an anthology series format, with each episode featuring a one-hour film directed by a well-known horror film director. In 2009 Chiller (TV network) began showing the show on their Sunday evening line up of shows and in 2010, Reelz Channel began airing episodes of Masters of Horror edited (despite keeping its TV-MA rating) and with commercials.
Street Legal
Street Legal
Canadian television drama that focused on professional and personal lives of the members of Toronto law firm.

Filled with memorable characters and, at times, controversial storylines, the series ran for eight seasons and was one of the most successful Canadian productions.
Blood Ties
After being asked to unravel a bizarre murder case, private investigator Vicki Nelson realizes that uncovering who - or what - the killer is may be a lot harder than for her typical case. During a stakeout the ex-cop meets Henry Fitzroy, who looks to be an irresistible twentysomething playboy but claims he's actually a 450-year-old vampire! Though she has trouble swallowing his story, Henry has interesting insight into the case, so Vicki teams up with him to nail the killer. But things get complicated when sparks ignite between this unlikely pair, and Vicki's ex-partner and former flame, who immediately distrusts Henry, takes an undue interest in the new partners' undeniably electric connection.

Beverly Hills Teens
"Come live your fantasy in Beverly Hills."
"Come on and make your dreams come true."
Those are the first line to the show's infamous theme song. The teens of Beverly Hills showed us what it is like to live the life of the "pampered priviledged." But don't let the money fool you. These are typical everyday teens that are fun-loving, very social, and they actually do homework. They just happened to be very rich!
The show's main focus seems to be around Bianca, the mischeivious brunette vixen of the teens. Many episodes center around her schemes that she attempts to attract fame, gain popularity, win contests, and ultimately nab Troy (the male hearthrob) who has his heart on Larke (the good girl and nemesis to Bianca).
Other characters include Gig & Jett (the musical prodigies that love to rock n' roll), Radley (the kick-back surfer guy), Tara (the beautiful southern belle), Shanelle (the reliable & responsible teacher's pet), Pierce (the vain sly dog), Bla

Alf Tales
Because of the big success of the TV show "ALF", the producers decieded in 1988 to create two animated ALF series. One is just called "ALF" and it's about ALF's time on Melmac and the other one is called "ALF Tales", and that's the one this page is about. While the "real" ALF always appeares in the… More beginning of each ALF animated episode to give a little introduction to his memories, ALF tales consists completely of animated scenes, there's no real life part in it.
Spinoff of:
The Starlost
This low budget Canadian sci-fi series from 1973 ran for sixteen episodes before it was cancelled due to low ratings. It was created in Canada by Glen Warren Productions and partially funded by Twentieth Century Fox, who now own the broadcast and syndication rights to the series. It was also compiled down into five movies, each composed of two episodes each, with new credit sequences.
The series was written by renowned science fiction author Harlan Ellison under a pseudonym of Cordwainer Bird, with additional episodes being written by other sci-fi authors. The plot concerned a giant Noah's Ark-like spaceship, composed of hundreds of huge "domes", each containing a sample culture from the planet Earth, which has long since died out due to an unknown disaster. The Ark, damaged from an asteroid collision, goes off course and heads into the path of a distant sun, its crew dead. Three simple farmers accidentally find their way out of their dome and must find out how to get the Ark back on course, and avoid the sun.
Garbage Pail Kids
Based on the wildly popular Garbage Pail Kids trading cards, the main segments of the series followed five of the GPK's: half-punker/half-yuppie Split Kit, dripping, oozing Clogged Duane, Elliot Mess, whose body parts were rearranged carelessly, faceless Teri Cloth, and the elastic, body stretching Patty Putty. Each episode also featured a movie spoof featuring other well known GPK's such as Nat Nerd, Savage Stewart, Green Dean, and others, as well as lots of filler segments, including "Garbage Pail Awards," "Would We Lie to You?," bad jokes in "Garbage Pail Groaners" and silly commercials for products like Anti-Kissing Cream and Cootie Detectors.
Produced by CBS and scheduled to air in the fall of 1987, the show was ultimately pulled off of the schedule in the USA, however, it did air elsewhere around the world. American audiences (who hadn't bought bootlegs of the show) finally got their first exposure to the series when it landed on DVD in 2006.

- Gaited Horses
- - A question about bits and gaited horses...
A question about bits and gaited horses... Hi all, I am a gaited horse newbie (see previous post) and I just thought of another question. If I want to ride my Foxtrotter with contact (such as when we are gaiting) can I use any bit she seems to do well in, or do I need a basic curb? I was told by a Foxtrotter person that I should always ride in curb bit with a solid mouthpiece because the horse needs to lean into it. I have ridden most of my other trail horses in a tom thumb with good success. Do I need to use a solid mouth bit because of the "push them into the bridle" strategy? Or can you ride a gaited horse in just about anything? I know I have seen Walking Horse bits with snaffle mouthpieces. Actually, my Foxtrotter really seems to do fine in a mechanical hackamore (a Sliester brand with flat leather noseband and a flat, double link curb chain). Is there any reason I can't use the hackamore? Do I really want my horse leaning into the bit? Sorry for the rambling questions. Usually, such as on my Mustang, I use a tom thumb, very light contact, and back him off the bit instead of trying to push him into it. Maybe I am just overthinking everything! Can I just pretend my Foxtrotter is like any other horse, or do you really need to ride them differently than a non-gaited horse? |
No, you're absolutely right. No horse of any breed should be leaning on the bit - I don't know what that person was thinking. Ride her however you would ride a non-gaited horse in whatever bit SHE likes best. |
Well, "leaning into the bit" might be my term and not hers. Basically, she says that you want them to be able to have contact with the bit and push into the bit a little. She says you can do that better with a curb with a solid mouth and a broken mouthpiece will discourage the horse from giving more bit contact. Which kinda makes sense, because that is what I do with my Mustang. Ride him with a tom thumb and give him little flutters with my fingertips to back off it if he gives me bit pressure. That is how I get him to collect up. Now I feel like I am re-learning how I ride, but maybe I shouldn't be? The same lady also told me that you shouldn't try to collect them in the same way as I do my other horse. That you want them to have their nose out and neck straight, not tucked. Let me ask you one more question. When you are at a walk, do you have two-handed rein contact with your horse? Or do you give him/her a slack rein at a walk? Do you encourage a fast, almost breaking-into-a-gait walk, or do you just let them go their own pace? The Foxtrotter owning husband/wife I ride with are always pushing their horses to walk FAST. That is part of the reason I got a Foxtrotter, so if I rode with them I could keep up! But I love the feel of her gaits too. By the way, I LOVE Mystique's blue eyes! On a black horse, they stand out like jewels! :D Thank you for your help! |
I don't think you HAVE to relearn how to ride if you don't want to. A horse is a horse and they should be treated and trained as individuals. If you and your mare don't like the way MFTs are ridden in the show ring, don't do it that way. If you're not going to show her at breed shows it doesn't matter. And since MFTs are diagonally-oriented horses, unlike most other gaited breeds, I think they can be treated even more like trotting horses. The foxtrot is VERY much like a trot, and so I don't see why MFTs can't go in a frame that trotting horses go in. Quote:
This is the amount of slack I always give her at the walk (except my hand is usually lower): Mystique on Flickr - Photo Sharing! I let her go her own pace at the walk. She has an extremely fast walk and she goes that speed on her own. I'm usually riding with non-gaited horses or a Paso Fino and they all walk much slower than her, so I'm actually usually slowing her down, not speeding her up. Quote:
Thanks again for all your help! I will just do the slack-rein thing at the walk, because that's how I like to ride. And then do light contact when I ask her to gait. Sometimes, when I try for the gait, all I get is a super speedy flat walk, but that really feels like a gait in it's self. I am still learning to tell the difference between her flat walk and her Foxtrot. They feel almost the same to be, except with the foxtrot, her hind-end is bouncing a bit more. I can usually tell when she starts to Foxtrot, because I notice the jiggle, but not when she drops to a flat walk. The transition from one to the other is so smooth that I hardly notice. Riding my first gaited horse sometimes gets me giggly, because I feel like I have all these cool "gears" and they all feel so neat, but I don't know how to "lock them in gear," I just sort of float in and out of them. But it is really fun getting the hang of it. :D PS. I've only tried cantering her a couple of times, and she has a funky canter! My neighbor says it looks normal, but I feel like the front end and back end are doing two different things. So much to learn and experience- I can't wait for spring!!! |

Hello I have just installed Max 5 on a G4 Aluminum 1 Ghz Powerbook. This machine has a new hard drive which has a fresh OS 10.5.6 installed. I am having a problem with static along with intermittent audio (the cursor also freezes) playing even the simple test tone tutorial patch. In fact there is intermittent static even when there is no patch open. I am new to this version of Max and I apologize for missing this issue if it came up a lot in the forum when Max 5 was released. I was unable to find anything with a few searches so here I am. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much in advance!
Try increasing your IO and Signal Vector sizes, and see if that changes thing. These settings are found in the "DSP Status…" item of the Options menu.
Thank you for the advice. I reinstalled my OS and then Max 5 and am having the same problem. Futzing with the vector sizes seems to have no effect. I have also installed the Digidesign Standalone Core Audio driver so that I can use my Mobx as an interface. I am having the same problem with or without the Mbox present though. This is really frustrating. Any other ideas anyone? Thanks so much in advance.
I reinstalled everything again (third time) and now I happy to say that Max 5 seems to be running fine now. I don't know what the problem was before. I was using the standalone Core Audio Manager because I don't plan to use this computer for Pro Tools. OS 10.5 seems also to be fine on this machine although it is just slightly above it's minimum system requirements which is at least G4 867 MHz. I hope that my 1 GHz and 2 gigs of RAM will get me through this project I have coming up. Yeah, too bad I don't have the cash to just buy a new computer. Being a broke-ass artist has it's drawbacks. Thanks for all your suggestions folks!

It set in place a new organising principle for decision makers, the promotion of individual wellbeing, and placed the rights of informal carers on an equal footing to those with care needs.Date:Thursday 7th July 2016 Displaying 9 to 12 of 125 Previous 1 2 3 4 5 … Next

Can you imagine packing up your family and moving abroad? The thought may very well give you a slight panic attack or it may induce a little spark of curiosity. Either way, Families Around the World gives you a peek at American families living abroad -- from far off exotic places such as Abu Dhabi in the Middle East to the bustling metropolis of Rome and everywhere in between. Stay tuned for a look at what life is like raising a family away from home.
Picture this: You're given the chance to take a six-month sabbatical for work and have decided to use it as a chance to move abroad with your family. Where would you choose to go?
The Barwells, a family of six from Seattle, used this rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to move to Guatemala, a Central American country nestled between Belize, Mexico and Honduras. Of all places, why Guatemala? Denise Daniels Barwell tells us they knew they wanted to spend the six months in a Spanish-speaking area -- despite not being able to speak the language themselves -- as well as be in a developing country where they could teach their children, Josh, Samara, Danica and Zachary, to respect the amazing opportunities and wealth they have, in comparison to the rest of the world.
And after six months of being completely immersed in Guatemalan culture, schools and daily life, that's not all the Barwell family learned through this incredible experience.
"In our first few days, we were [in awe of] the security guards wandering around with very large guns, the wild dogs roving around the city (and with nobody picking up after them), the very colorful houses and markets, the immensely friendly people we encountered everywhere and a hugely different diet," Denise tell us.
The Barwell family happened to arrive in Antigua on New Year's Eve, which means they spent their night being greeted by a three-hour long fireworks display that lasted until 2:30 a.m!
Many moms who we've talked to for the Families Around the World series have reflected that daily life abroad is oddly similar to what their life was like at home, but there is no doubt life in Guatemala was taken at a slower pace for the Barwell family.
All four children attended school every day -- the older kids would leave at 6:30 a.m. via a 12-seat passenger van, sans seatbelts, typically packed with 20 children -- and Zach left for preschool a couple of hours later. While the kids were at school, Denise and Craig would spend their mornings exploring Antigua or relaxing with some reading and a cup of coffee before meeting back together as a family around 1 p.m.
A typical afternoon for the Barwell family while living in Guatemala started with tutoring -- both for language and for homework for the children, which was done completely in Spanish -- followed by trips to the market, adventures checking out new or favorite parts of the city or playing with friends inside the gated, walled courtyard of their house.
Denise remarks, "Without ballet, soccer, swimming and chess club, we had much more time together as a family. Because most of the Guatemalan kids we knew weren't involved in the many hectic activities of our kids' American peers, we never felt like we were missing out on something."
Before they left Guatemala, each family member wrote a list on their family blog of what they would miss most and what they'll miss least about living in Guatemala. From the "will miss it" list is the friendliness of strangers, soccer and not having to wear seatbelts in the car. And from the "won't miss it one bit" list, the poop on the streets makes the list of every single family member, along with mosquitos and riding the very full bus to school every morning.
Also on their family blog, Denise writes about their re-entry to their life in Seattle upon returning from Guatemala. She is amazed at how quickly they leaped right back into their old routines -- running from birthday parties to swim lessons to shopping trips without batting an eye. "Did we really step off the plane and onto this treadmill already?" She reflects, "Have we learned nothing from our six-month sabbatical?"
However, she also tells us the time they spent together in Guatemala was irreplaceable, commenting that having to rely on each other more than they typically do at home and spending so much time together was healthy for every family member.

Difference between revisions of "Moyale"
Revision as of 14:18, 19 March 2013Moyale is a town in Eastern Kenya ContentsUnderstandThis town is at the main border crossing between Ethiopia and Kenya. Technically one could say there are two towns; Ethiopian Moyale (north) and Kenyan Moyale (south), with the border running between them. Get inTo the north, buses run on the tarmac road all the way to Addis Ababa. To the south, only private vehicles - in particular, cattle trucks - go along the unmade track to Marsabit, and then Isiolo - where public transport is available on the tarmac roads the rest of the way to Nairobi. Get aroundInternational crossing: Moyale (Ethiopia) to Nairobi. A power cut sometimes stops the passport machine from working and can cause delays which are significant. Ethiopian police advise to 'drive on' if hailed when crossing the desert, and call in for assistance ASAP if the person you see has had a vehicle breakdown on the road. The road conditions can cause significant damage to vehicle suspension. Some desert roads are impassable in the wet season. Ensure adequate fuel and water as the service gaps are vast. Recent alert: beware of carjackers in Nairobi. Keep your doors locked and do not open them for anyone! Much of the road in Nairobi is down to crawling pace and traffic jams. SeeIn the afternoon you go for a walk or visit a cafeteria. Moyale (Ethiopia) has a very nice atmosphere. DoIn Moyale (Ethiopia) there a diffent kinds of offices and schools. The people are very friendly and there is also a boutique. BuyBankingThere are banks on both the Kenyan and the Ethiopian side. The KCB on the Kenyan side has an ATM. Only money exchangers will buy or sell birr for shillings--the rates are horrible. Equity Bank is also available in Moyale; this has greatly changed the lives and livelihoods of north Kenyans. Try stores on the Kenyan side for currency exchange. Be wary of street touts. EatEthiopian cuisine characteristically consists of spicy vegetable and meat dishes, usually in the form of wat (also w'et or wot), a thick stew, served atop injera, a large sourdough flatbread, which is made out of fermented teff flour. Ethiopians eat with their right hands, using pieces of injera to pick up bites of entrées and side dishes. Utensils are rarely used with Ethiopian cuisine. DrinkSleepEach side has cheap hotels. A police station is near a favored street money changer spot (illegal but tolerated). Note the proximity of each to the other - beware. This means that runs are made on these regularly enough by police to discourage it. This means it may be presented as 'legal' as it is 'right next to the police station'. It's not. Go figure (elsewhere)!
Get outThe most important information regarding Moyale as that it is a border town, and not usually a destination of choice. As is the case for all public bus transportation in Ethiopia, you must get to the station by 5:30 AM for the typical 6-6:30 AM departure. Seats are on a first come first serve basis here and remember that any baggage handlers are usually freelancers, but 2-4 Birr will suffice. There is no direct bus to Addis Ababa, so take the Shashemene bus and change buses there. Unfortunately, Shashemene bus station is a very inconvenient place to change buses (it is known for its muggings and pickpocketing), so you might prefer to disembark at Hagere Maryam, stay for the night, and take an early bus to Addis Ababa. As for its sister city across the border in Kenya, for destinations south, it's typically best to get over the day before and start asking around about trucks heading south. It is certainly a much nicer ride to arrange a spot in the cab of a truck heading south. As of June '05 there is a bus running all the way to Nairobi taking over 24 hours. This is by far the best transport option so ask around as soon as you arrive in Moyale. As of March 2010 there is no longer any bus and the only way to reach Nairobi is by truck. Both the trucks and buses like to leave very early in the morning so remember to set your alarm clock! For a truck, in June '05 the going rate was 1500 Kenyan Shillings for a cab spot or 1000 Kenyan Shillings for an adventure in the truck bed. Sometimes this covers the cost to Isiolo (as was the rate in April '05 from Isiolo to Moyale) and if you are lucky it will cover the cost all the way to Nairobi (or anywhere along the main Isiolo to Nairobi highway that you want to be dropped off). As of March 2010, the going rate from Moyale to Nairobi is 2000KSh. Some trucks go directly through to Isiolo and Marsabit, and some go via Wajir and Garissa, a trip which takes 2 or 3 days through beautiful yet desolate countryside (with a good chance of seeing Rothschild's giraffe around Wajir). Bandits or Shiftas are an on and off problem in Northern Kenya, so best to keep advised of the current situation before heading off. However, for the most part they are uninterested in Westerners, as attacks on Westerners have a higher chance of initiating a response from the military police forces. Many people have used the Isiolo to Moyale route to enter Ethiopia. There is also some recent ethnic fighting between the Gabra and Borana, such as the Turbi massacre, and the situation remains tense between Moyale and Marsabit. Again this violence shouldn't be directed at foreigners but it is good to inquire about the local situation and pay attention. Stay safeSecurity in the area has improved. However, check to see if you need to worry before leaving for the south. Go to the office of the district commisoner for information, or go to the Red Cross branch, located above the KCB, and they can call the commissioner for you and give you their opinion.

New Beauty
Barbra Palvin by Jan Welters for Elle France September 2011
Makeup by Jurgen Braun
I haven't done a beauty post in a while, and I absolutely couldn't let this editorial pass - I melt every time I see this gorgeous girl's face in the magazines.
Barbara is MADE to do beauty shoots.. Every look works so well on her. You can see her over again a hundred times and you will always get the feeling of a fresh face in her look. Give her about 10 more years to mature and such and she will be an absolute huge face and supermodel, the next Natalia Vodianova if you ask me.
Thank you for all the get well wishes! For the first time this week I am posting from an actual desk and not from bed - I am feeling SO much better. Love you all! xx

Jesse: You should drop in some droniness from Seattle luminaries Kinski. Checked out some pretty damn groovy psyche-blues from a band they opened for: Gravelroad. You may dig them. They put on a hell of a good live show. Some other recent faves--Lumerians -- unfortunately I can't recommend specific tracks, but I saw them last summer and they blew the doors off the comet tavern (and killed hte power supply multiple times). =) | |

Morning, all! Currently debating with myself whether to go to the pharmacy & grocery store or just stay home. It's freezing outside & I feel like crap. But the pain killers I'm gonna get at the pharmacy would make me feel better. I'm torn, so I've decided to stay in and listen to you for the moment. Good tunes make the morning go better. | |

There may even be a clause in her contract by which she has to agree to certain content restrictions.
Some of the best legal minds in the nation reckoned the court would use this clause to sustain Obamacare.
Sanford hits back at Sullivan, who "has certainly not lived up to this clause."
Justice Kagan put it another way Monday when she talked about the way in which the clause has been used over the past generation.
But an aspect that is particularly troubling is that such a clause exists at all.
An unsound text, the insertion of before the clause, sent Lessing on a wrong track.
The first is as to the relation of this clause to the preceding.
These refer to the subject of the sentence or clause in which they stand; like myself, yourself, in 'I see myself,' etc.
The meaning of the clause is, that feel suffering quite as sharply as they.
This follows a verb or a verbal, but the verb of the clause introduced by like is regularly omitted.
c.1200, "a sentence, a brief statement, a short passage," from Old French clause "stipulation" (in a legal document), 12c., from Medieval Latin clausa "conclusion," used in the sense of classical Latin clausula "the end, a closing, termination," also "end of a sentence or a legal argument," from clausa, fem. noun from past participle of claudere "to close, to shut, to conclude" (see close (v.)). Grammatical sense is from c.1300. Legal meaning "distinct condition, stipulation, or proviso" is recorded from late 14c. in English. The sense of "ending" seems to have fallen from the word between Latin and French.
A group of words in a sentence that contains a subject and predicate. (See dependent clause and independent clause.)
p1 ^ ...^ pm => q1 V ... V qn.
or, equivalently,
~p1 V ... V ~pn V q1 V ... V qn,
where pi and qi are atoms.
The operators ~, ^, V, => are connectives, where ~ stands for negation, ^ for conjunction, V for disjunction and => for implication.

cpu display in max over 100% but everything ok in task manager (win)
I hope that this kind of trouble hasn't been reported in another topic … I'm looking for an explanation since yesterday in the forum so please apologize if I missed a topic dealing with the same kind of issue.
Ok, so I'll try to be as concise as possible.
– I have a main patch without any bpatcher ; only poly~ inside with parallel processing mode enabled.
– CPU consumption is far over 100% in Max display,so it "cracks"
– when running the windows task manager, I can see that none of the physical and logical core are overloaded. Each core works below 25%
If I disable the parallel processing mode of all poly~, cpu consumption displayed in max is the same as previously and I can clearly see one of the core overloaded in the core manager.
My OS is win8
Would anyone have an explanation (solution?!!) for this?
Many thanks in advance
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm running Max 6.1.3 32bits
CPU use as displayed in the Audio Status window or via the adstatus object is calculated by taking the amount amount of time required to calculate a signal vector's worth of audio divided by the amount of real time taken up by the signal vector.
So, if my signal vector is 1 second long and it takes me 1.25 seconds to calculate all the audio I need to go in there then I'm in trouble.
This is how it can appear that Max is bogged down but your computer is not. The answer is to play around with your IO and sig vector size settings – generally speaking the larger they are, the more audio you'll be able to process.
Having an external soundcard can help as well (a decent one that is).
Thanks andrew for your explanations (thanks andro too!).
I understand now the CPU overload "process".
However, it find it strange to notice that when not in parallel mode for polys in my patch, CPU consumption displayed in max is equal to the consumption on the CPU core "used" to calculate.
Does it mean that whatever the number of cores of my computer, max will overload when consumption equals to the the power that only one core can deliver? There is something I can't picture, it looks like Max limits itself the power whereas there is a large amount of power available.
I can indeed play with sig and IO vectors but it seems that I won't benefit from the entire power of my laptop isn't it?
Which way could make benefit from this?
Many thanks for your support Andrew
P.S. : Andro -> thanks. About soundcards, I guess there is a difference in CPU consumption but isn't it more linked to the driver than to the card itself? I don't have any knowledge about this but I picture a soundcard like being a simple DAC without any power inside (if no FX Embedded). Am i wrong?
Thanks in advance too Andro
A good external soundcard allows much lower buffer/vector sizes in pretty much all audio driven software.
You can always try borrowing one from someone and see if that helps before you maybe purchase one.
I've done live inputs of guitar,bass,midi drums and 3 channels of vocals through ableton live, this was only possible with the extra "muscle" that a good external soundcard provides. An internal soundcard wouldn't even pull off a buffer size (in live) of a 128 samples with the live sets that we had.
I use the presonus firestudio project, one amazing card with a lot of punch. :)

CLEARFIELD, Pa. – America's Motorsports Park finally got the 2014 season opened on Saturday night with Mike Blose taking the feature win in the Randy Sterling Trucking Late Models.
Dan Gill and Todd Sallack led the Late Models to the green flag, but it was Blose who made a daring low-side move in turn two and came out with the lead. Sallack ran second for a bit before being unable to get going on a restart and was the subject of a five-car pile-up on the front stretch. Gill then chased Blose as Duane Stiner and Luke Hoffner worked to better their positions.
As the race continued, Blose was setting the pace and began to pull away as they began to encounter lapped traffic. At the finish it was Blose winning over Gill, Stiner, Hoffner and Ronnie Bottenfield. Heat wins were split between Stiner and Dwayne Taneyhill.
Ralph Engel Jr. was the winner in the Point Break and Spring Laurel Highland Sprints, Paul Ivory topped the Denny's Beer Barrel Pub Semi Lates, Fuzzy Fields won the Srock Contracting Street Stock race, Dustin Challingsworth claimed the Satterlee Oil Pure Stock event and Eric Boozel topped the Clearfield County Metals Four Cylinder feature.
