President Obama's evolutionary leap on same-sex marriage is a historic advance in the nation's long march toward equality and justice. It is also a bold political gambit that sacrifices some votes in exchange for potentially renewing his image as a leader of vision and hope.
The truth is that it should not have taken Obama so long to recognize that gay men and lesbians should have the right to marry. I'm one of the many observers who never understood how his former opposition to same-sex marriage could be squared with the worldview that emerged from his speeches and actions. It seemed incongruous that someone who so valued fairness and inclusiveness would have such a blind spot.
Nor do I understand Obama's criteria for deciding that his "evolving" view on gay marriage had completed its transformation. Was it only half-baked, say, a month ago?
Ultimately, history will care only that Obama was the first president to acknowledge that same-sex marriage is a national issue involving the civil rights of millions of Americans. The astonishment and joy expressed by so many gay people nationwide after Obama's announcement Wednesday showed what a big deal this is.
We all know where this is heading. Obama said that although he supports same-sex marriage, the decision should be left up to the states. That would seem to bode ill, since 30 states have amended their constitutions to prohibit gay marriage; on Tuesday, North Carolina overwhelmingly approved such an amendment, with 61 percent of voters approving a ban on same-sex marriage.
But polls show that public opinion on gay marriage has been shifting rapidly across the country. A Washington Post survey in March reported that 52 percent of Americans think it should be legal for same-sex couples to marry; 43 percent think it should be illegal. In a March 2004 poll, The Post found that 38 percent of respondents thought gay marriage should be legal, with 59 percent opposed. That's almost a complete reversal in eight years.
Moreover, polls show a clear generational divide: Americans younger than 40 approve of gay marriage by a big margin. This explains the rush to amend state constitutions in what amounts to a King Canute-like attempt to hold back the actuarial tide.
But same-sex marriage is already allowed in Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont and the District. As more couples wed, courts across the country will have to rule on questions involving marriages that are recognized in some states but not others. It may be a long, tangled process, but eventually a day will come when same-sex marriage is considered unexceptional and only historians appreciate that once upon a time it was controversial.
Obama's pronouncement hastens that day. It also has shorter-term implications.
It seems clear that his position on gay marriage will cost Obama some support in what promises to be a tough battle for reelection. The crucial impact will be in the swing states. North Carolina, for example, is a former Republican stronghold that Obama won in 2008. Will the people who voted so decisively against same-sex marriage be motivated to vote against him in November?
Some will, undoubtedly. But it was interesting that Obama's all-but-certain GOP opponent, Mitt Romney, reacted to the president's shift on gay marriage with a relatively subdued statement, reiterating his opposition but acknowledging that the issue is a "tender and sensitive topic." The risk for Romney is that, although his position — he wants a federal constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage — is popular among Republican primary voters, it might be seen as mean-spirited and punitive by the independents who will ultimately decide the election.
Politically, Obama may have taken a big step toward reclaiming the future.
The magic of hope and change that suffused his 2008 campaign has dissipated after 40 grueling months in office. Obama's supporters could point to his accomplishments and cite the reasons why Romney would be a poor replacement, but the optimism and excitement were missing.
Obama could have kept silent on gay marriage, and frustrated progressives would still vote for him. Instead, he spoke out when he didn't have to and took a stance that might hurt him in key states — reminding us how he can surprise and inspire.
Did I just catch a whiff of that hopey-changey stuff in the air?

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS1482278
This drive belt is made to slip on the motor pulley to bring the basket up to the speed required and this makes the belt get wear and tear.
This part works with the following brands: GE, Hotpoint & Kenmore.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
To diagnose, first I unhooked the washer: power, water supply, and drain pipe. I then slid the washer out, laying it on its front. With nutdriver, I unscrewed two screws that held the other end of the drain tube and removed it completely. Then, again with the nutdriver removed 4 screws from the back near the legs, two in between the legs in the middle, and approx. 4 to 6 on the bottom. This let me pull the bottom off partially to access the motor area. (I did did not take the bottom completely off, only about 2/3 off and let it bend over, as it was flexible tin) The belt was broken. After receiving the new belt, I positioned it between the pulley and the motor and between the drum and the big pulley. Then I rotated the big pulley, pulling the belt onto it as I rotated. At the same time, as I rotated, I pulled the other end of the belt on to the little pulley. Once it was on, I would put pressure on it as I turned the pulley, to jump the belt to the appropriate grooves on the little pulley. Note: the replacement belt had been modified, so it had one less groove than the pulley. I would have known this if I had read the insert that came with the belt first! Anyway, this was not a problem, only a design change. Also it was important to start the belt on the inside, so if it slipped, you didnt loose your bite. Total diagnostic, repair, and reassembly time: 30 minutes plus or minus. I had read other online forums that said you had to loosen the motor, etc. And I do know some type of a belt installation tool was offered on line, but I got along fine with my installation method. An extra set of hands would have been helpful, but not necessary.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Used 1" puddy knife to depress spring loaded retainer tabs. Front panel is removed by prying the top of the front panel away from the machine. Lift front panel to release bottom from machine. Set panel aside. New belt is installed by placing it on the drive pulley and then rolling belt onto the motor pulley. Rotate the motor by hand while moving belt so it is properly seated on pulley.
I used a butter knife to pop plastic clips that hold the front panel to the top panel, one clip on each side of front cover. I never thought the new belt was going to fit, it barely fit on the big pulley, much less around the small pulley too. It needs to be stretched a lot to get it on.. but it will fit :)
Removed bottom washer plate. Placed belt on small, grooved pulley. Started belt on larger pulley. Clamped lock pliers to larger pulley to prevent belt from slipping off. Turned belt onto larger pulley by turning and pressing the belt close to the smaller pulley. Adjusted belt and replaced bottom plate.
After confirming what I thought was the problem and reading other posts it was fairly easy to replace the belt. After taking the bottom cover loose to gain access to the large and small pulley I found out that the belt was very tight to get on as a previous customer had mentioned. I also used visegrips to hold the belt in place on the large pulley while guideing the belt on the small motor pulley with one hand and turning the drum pulley with the other hand. It helped that I had read the other post first. Next time will be a snap.
took two people to get this belt on
When disassembling I could not remove the 1 3/4" tub nut with in house tools and had to order the spanner wrench. Almost mandatory unless you have a socket wrench.
Followed the instructions on repair clinic video

Former President Bill Clinton last week headlined a fundraiser for 13th Congressional District candidate Marjorie Margolies, and he urged the crowd to send her back to Washington after a 20-year absence.
"I know if you send Marjorie to Congress, she'll make you proud," he told a couple of hundred people at the Warwick Hotel, at 17th and Locust streets.
The event raised about $200,000.
Margolies is a Clinton in-law. Her son Marc is married to Chelsea Clinton.
"I would be here if her son was not my son-in-law," Bill Clinton said.
Margolies served in the House of Representatives in 1993-94. She cast a tiebreaking vote for Clinton's economic plan, which included tax hikes, and she lost a re-election bid.
Supporters of that plan contend that it led to economic expansion.
Clinton said 13th Congressional District Democrats should look at that vote to see how Margolies - who faces three Democrats in the primary - would serve today. He also noted her past votes for an assault-weapons ban and the Family and Medical Leave Act.
"Marjorie is the best positioned to do the right thing for the future," he said. "…What happened before is a good indicator of what will happen in the future."
Former Pennsylvania Gov. and Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell said Margolies would not merit a mention in his book, A Nation of Wusses, but would be a better fit for John F. Kennedy's Profiles in Courage. He said her vote "turned the United States of America around."
Others in attendance included state Rep. John Sabatina Jr., former City Controller Jonathan Saidel and ward leaders Bill Dolbow, Janice Sulman and John Sabatina.
State Sen. Daylin Leach, a Democratic candidate in the 13th Congressional District, raised $335,399 in the first quarter of 2014.
Leach has $659,817 cash on hand, with $577,392 available to spend in the primary. The candidate has received contributions from about 4,800 individuals from all 50 states.
"These are people who support Daylin's message of closing the gap between the rich and everyone else, making the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share, protecting a woman's right to choose, and protecting and expanding Social Security," said Aren Platt, Leach's campaign manager.
The average contribution was less than $105. Platt noted that some people paid $5,000 to meet former President Clinton last week at a fundraiser for Marjorie Margolies.
"Her campaign seems to be run by and for the 1 percent, as opposed to the thousands of Daylin supporters who our opponent would turn away at the door from her events," Platt said.
Leach has been endorsed by the Pennsylvania State Education Association and the National Education Association.
"Since joining the Pennsylvania Legislature in 2002, Daylin has stood out as a tireless advocate for public education, and we know that he will continue fighting for our schools, our students, and our profession as a member of Congress," said Mike Crossey, president of the PSEA.
The PSEA has more than 5,600 members in the 13th Congressional District.
Leach and his three primary opponents — Brendan Boyle, Marjorie Margolies and Val Arkoosh - are scheduled to debate on Tuesday, April 29, at 7 p.m. at the Portuguese Club, at 2019 Rhawn St. The debate is being organized by John Sabatina, Democratic leader of the 56th Ward.
Sabatina has endorsed Margolies.
U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz, a Democratic candidate for governor, last week released her first television ad, which highlights her fight to pass the Children's Health Insurance Program through the state Senate.
Schwartz worked with former state Rep. Allen Kukovich and former Pennsylvania Gov. Bob Casey to pass the landmark health-care plan for Pennsylvania's children.
"The Children's Health Insurance Program became a model for President Clinton," Schwartz said. "Now, hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvania children - and millions more across the county - have access to quality affordable health care. We started it in Pennsylvania and led the nation. That's exactly the type of experience and leadership I will bring as governor."
Jared Solomon, a Democratic candidate in the 202nd Legislative District, on Friday hosted a news conference at his campaign office, where officials from Environmental Construction Services Inc. announced they would relocate from an industrial park on Byberry Road to an undetermined location in the Lower Northeast, where the 202nd is based.
Environmental Construction Services is a mechanical and sheet metal contracting firm specializing in energy efficiency. It is looking to expand manufacturing and fabrication, with hopes of creating 10 to 20 new jobs in addition to the 32 already employed.
CEO Michael Brown and chief operating officer Dominic Menta attended the news conference.
"Over the past few decades, our representatives have sat silently as our manufacturing and textile industries, once the lifeblood of Northeast Philadelphia, have evaporated," Solomon said. "This has led to a massive increase in unemployment, poverty, and crime. As of today, that changes. I have lobbied tirelessly to bring good careers to the Northeast to reduce unemployment and reinvigorate our neighborhoods. In coordination with Michael and his company, Environmental Construction Services Inc., we're doing just that."
"Both in our employees and our elected officials, we're looking for individuals who are determined, intelligent and have a strong sense of community," Brown said. "It is clear Jared Solomon embodies those characteristics, and he has shown me that the Lower Northeast does as well."
Solomon is challenging Rep. Mark Cohen in the primary. He ended a court challenge to the incumbent's nominating petitions.
"Bringing the suit showed a total lack of responsibility," Cohen said.
Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania recently struck down a challenge to the nominating petitions of Jason Dawkins, Democratic candidate in the 179th Legislative District. Dawkins is challenging Rep. James Clay in the primary. His petitions were challenged on allegations he did not live in the district.
"Philadelphia politics can be rough and tumble, so unfortunately I'm not surprised by this tactic to get me off the ballot," he said. "Unfortunately for the plaintiff, the case was without merit. I'm glad to have weathered this challenge, and I'm ready to move forward. I'm confident that I will finish this race strong and give the residents of the 179th the leadership and vision they deserve."
David Hall, who also filed to run in the primary, lost a court challenge and is off the ballot. ••

United Way kicks off annual campaign
Luncheon set for Oct. 18.
Money is tight all over.
It's not just personal bank accounts that have felt the crunch from the country's recession.
With government funding falling short and grant dollars continuing to drop, non-profit agencies are forced to be more frugal than ever just to continue services.
People in Gothenburg have always been quite generous to those in need and United Way volunteers are hoping that kindness continues."We've had wonderful support from individuals and businesses in the community," said United Way president Karla Blase.
The 10 agencies supported by United Way are grateful as well.
The Gothenburg Senior Center's allocation from United Way helps pay for gas and maintenance on the center's bus.
Without it, the Senior Center likely couldn't afford to transport residents to and from center activities and meals, as well as to medical appointments and shopping.
Last year's United Way allocation to Building Blocks Child Care Center and Preschool in Gothenburg was used to purchase a new computer. This year's funding will likely be used for playground improvements.
The Gothenburg/Brady Ministerial Association helps families in need through assistance paying for utilities, rent, food and medical care. Each United Way dollar makes a difference for another disadvantaged resident.
"It's all about people helping people," Blase said.
The Gothenburg United Way will kick off its annual fund-raising campaign with a freewill donation dinner at the Senior Center from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday.
The 2009-10 goal is $24,000, up slightly from last year's goal of $23,800.
"The goal is up only a little bit," Blase said, "but because of the economy, it's still going to be difficult to reach it."
Residents unable to attend the kickoff dinner are still encouraged to donate using a brochure mailed to each home.
Following the individual mail portion of the campaign, United Way will have a business drive.
"I know the businesses are continuously getting hit up for one thing or another," she said. "We are very appreciative for all they do for us."
Each United Way across the country conducts its own fund-raisers. Blase said she hopes prevalent national advertising that is airing right now will help Gothenburg's efforts.
"With all of the cutbacks all over the place, it's important to do what we can,"
For additional information about United Way, contact Blase at 537-3693. Donations may be mailed to the Gothenburg United Way Inc., P.O. Box 494, Gothenburg, NE 69138.

Contributing to the CentOS project
If you are looking for things that need to be done for the project, there is a ToDo list online. We are also actively prospecting for information / ideas and most importantly people to help with the main CentOS website rebuild effort. For more information look at the WebsiteVer2 page.
1. Help others on the mailing list, forums or IRC
We have a lot of users asking for good advice. If you are experienced and want to help the project, helping out on the mailing lists, the forums or on IRC is a good way to learn more yourself, and a good way to make new friends and feel good about helping others. Besides, it gives others time to contribute in other ways as well.
2. Help with hunting bugs and finding fixes
It is not uncommon that CentOS users find problems, have different expectations or simply are doing something wrong. We encourage our users to file bug-reports in our own bug tracking system, but this is not meant as a support system. So we need people helping to divert support questions to the mailing lists and forums, genuine issues need to be confirmed and hunted, and send upstream whenever possible.
It takes time, effort and skills to help tracking bugs, but it is a very rewarding thing to do. Testing packages are announced and discussed on the CentOS Developer's list. Such packages are then available on the buildlogs nodes
3. Contribute to the Wiki
As much as we would like to have an open Wiki where everyone can write without jumping through hoops, we're not able to do so. Say thanks to all the spammers out there who "contribute" their stuff everywhere on the web.
So to keep our Wiki content clean and accurate, we are presently moderating the articles posted there. In order to submit content:
Create a login with a username in the format: FirstnameLastname. For example, if your name is John Doe, the username to be created would be JohnDoe. Other variations, such as johndoe, John Doe, John_Doe, John, johnny123numbers, Mister Doe, JustSomeEditor etc. will not be accepted.
Subscribe to the CentOS-docs mailing list
Send a message to that mailinglist using email@example.com after you received the subscription notification. In that mail provide at least the following information:
your FirstnameLastname username
- the proposed subject of your Wiki contribution(s)
- the proposed location of your Wiki contribution(s)
- We also encourage you to request and to maintain a personal homepage with your contact information. Some people also use their homepage to keep a note of their edits, or as a place to experiment for testing content layout, editing commands, etc.
There will be a small delay while you wait for someone from the AdminGroup to create that page and give you editing rights. This could take up to three days.
If nothing happens, verify on the centos-docs mailing list archive that your mail had arrived and there have been no replies. If there were no replies -- i.e. because people are on vacation -- then be persistent and resend your original email.
Follow the guidelines for editing this Wiki.
The CentOS-docs mailing list is not just used for requesting Wiki edit permissions but also for general discussion about the CentOS documentation and the quality of the Wiki articles.
Initially edit rights will be allocated to some sections of the Wiki (mainly the specific pages you create). Once you have posted a significant quantity of content and have shown a desire to keep it updated, we would open up access.
As said: We're really sorry that we have to do it this way but we hope to change the process in the future so it becomes easier to contribute to the Wiki.
3.1. Wiki Content
You may wonder what kind of content should be published on the wiki. In one single sentence:
Everything that is related to the project, its shipped components or useful extensions.
Please keep in mind that it's not only about creating documentation but also about updating and maintaining it, as appropriate.
If you are working on a component that already has its own documentation infrastructure, extending and improving those documents would be preferred instead of replicating the documentation.
Content is accepted only under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License.
3.2. Monitoring Changes
You are invited to monitor changes on the wiki. Those can either be tracked with the RecentChanges function of the wiki system or via eMail. To get informed about changes via eMail, open your account preferences and define the sites you want to monitor under 'Subscribed wiki pages'. You can make use of regular expressions, so if you want to monitor the complete wiki simply add .* here.
Members of the EditGroup you will be able to make corrections directly. Major changes should be discussed on the CentOS-docs mailinglist.
4. L10n
Translating parts of the CentOS project to different languages may be useful for non-English speaking users. The localization process ("L10n", where the 10 is being a way of replacing the middle 10 letters of the word) contains many aspects, starting off with the translation of a specific component and leading into change tracking. This guarantees that translated content is always up to date.
If you are interested in taking part, you should first decide whether you want to translate wiki pages, anaconda slides or just assist on international fora or lists. Afterwards, please introduce yourself on the -docs ML and join up (possibly) existing translation teams. If necessary, you will be granted access to the specific resources.
4.1. Wiki localization
For each supported language a Wiki Category either exists or will be created in form of:
where $LANG is the ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 country code. Translated pages should be named similar to the English ones, e.g. the German translation of:
is named:
If a page does not yet exist, it will be automatically redirected to the English one. In order to create it you have to add ?action=edit to the page link.
Please add a note in the form of 'Translation of revision $REV' to each translated page, where $REV is the revision number of the English document that you have translated.
5. Help with Artwork
If you think you're good with graphics, do help out within our Artwork SIG.
6. Help with the CentOS newsletter
The monthly CentOS newsletter (aka. CentOS Pulse) reports about what happens in the CentOS community. We are looking for more people to contribute ideas and content for the newsletter. There is a special page about how to start contributing to the newsletter.
7. Join or start a CentOS Project
There are several projects about and focused on the core CentOS distribution that you can join and help with. There is no real signup requirements, and membership to the projects is open to everyone in the CentOS community. You can get a list along with a brief overview of the existing projects here.
You will also find details on how to go about starting a new project on the same page.
8. Help promote CentOS
We are actively looking for people to promote CentOS, either through positive experiences on a blog, or more direct through promotion on conferences. In both cases it is important to be honest about CentOS as a platform and to explain both advantages and disadvantages so that people understand what choices they have and remember for what reasons they did choose CentOS or something else.
9. Donating to the project
If you don't have the time to help out with the project or you lack the necessary skills to contribute your time, feel free to donate to our cause. We don't take monetary donations, but there are things we might need, like CDs, DVDs, T-Shirts or whatever. Just contact us.
10. Helping the Upstream Beta process for a better future CentOS
The CentOS project intentionally limits what it will change in its own core distribution compared to its upstream. The CentOS goal is to replicate its upstream with a drop in replacement, eliding trademarked content and adding workarounds for non-free technologies used upstream.
One place, external to the CentOS project, per se, to influence positively the upstream's product is by testing their Betas when they are in a Beta cycle; and by reporting issues upstream on an ongoing basis.

Meet Judy...She is a great pup. Rescue came just in time, Judy's time was running out. We will never understand how such great dogs end up in shelters. Judy will be a great companion for any one, she is sweet, loving, good with other dogs. She will be a good apartment size. She is about 8 months old, and 29 lbs. She will not get a lot larger. Open your heart to this girl...let her know she was spared for a reason....YOU. She is spayed, up to date on vacc. and preventions. Posted 10/8/16 ME
**It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our wonderful dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our many years in rescue.**
Adoption: $310 which covers quarantine, Chip, shots, worming, food, medical records, spaying/neutering, and an Alabama State Health Certificate.
Transport, if needed : $120.00 We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip from Alabama. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs.
September 17, 2016
2600 S Eagle Rd
Newtown, PA
time to be determined
Please see our website for adoption and transport fee info.
If you are interested in any of our dogs, the first step is to submit the application found on our website.
List any dogs that interest you in order of preference. If you don't see anything right now, check back often as we update frequently. ( Note that there are 2 links on our website adoptable dog page):
When your application is approved, we will put you in touch with the dog's foster mom/dad who will answer any questions you may have and so that the foster may get a feel for your situation and determine if the dog will be a good fit for your particular household. If all that ends on a positive note, we'll finalize the adoption (process payment) and schedule the dog for transport, if needed.
If you are uncomfortable adopting a dog without a prior face-to-face meeting and you are in the PA/NJ area, we have adoption events several times per year at local pet stores in Newtown, PA or Lawrenceville, NJ for which we bring up 15-20 adoptable dogs. Watch our website for up coming events.
* PLEASE NOTE: We review the applications in order of receipt and many of our potential adopters who are otherwise qualified miss out on a dog that has stolen their hearts because the application came in later than others of equal merit. Here's my advice: file the application ASAP. Don't waste time sending an inquiry asking info on the dogs and if they are available. We , on the front lines, don't know each dog personally; what we do know is in the description we have provided . We will let you know if the dog is available or not upon receipt of your application and give you the opportunity to select another.

Anchovy/Silverside (Swap Fly Entry)
Here's my swap fly entry. It is intended to duplicate the small baitfish (anchovies?) that seemed to be the primary forage during the two major blitzes that I witnessed last year in Rhode Island.
Here's the recipe with the materials listed in the order in which they were tied. Hook: Mustad 34007 Size 2 Thread: Fine clear mono Tail/Body: Pearl Bill's Body Braid tied with tag end extending 1/4" past hook bend to form the tail. Throat: White Marabou clipped to about 1/4" Lower Wing: 8 strands of brown Super Hair, doubled back, tied parallel to shank, 2x hook length. Belly: Sparse tan bucktail 1.5x hook length. Spread around throat and try not to flare the bucktail. Flash: 2 strands of Rootbeer Krystal Flash, doubled back, tied to lay flat along top of lower wing, 1/4" longer than lower wing. Upper Wing: Sparse brown bucktail (actually more of an orange-brown) 2.5x hook length, not too flared. Head/Eyes: Self-stick eyes with epoxy covering the head and eyes. I used a black marker to darken the top edges of the eyes and the exposed part of the backs of the eyes (adhesive side) before applying the epoxy. |

Justin Timberlake already raised some eyebrows with the cover art for his single, "Tunnel Vision," off of his album "The 20/20 Experience," but the music video is bound to raise even more.
The NSFW video, released Wednesday (July 3), features all the classic JT components: smooth dance skills, his pal Timbaland's patented deep growl, and crisp, hip men's fashion. But the main aspect of the seven-minute-long video? Naked women.
Well, topless women wearing flesh-colored thongs, to be exact. Hey, doesn't that sound familiar? Just like a certain chart-topping, controversial music video? Yes, yes it does.
What do you think of JT's latest video — is it too similar in concept to Robin Thicke's no. 1 hit, "Blurred Lines," or is it completely different? Hit the comments with your thoughts.

The Horse Forum
- Western Riding
- - Riding Lessons: What Are You Learning?
Riding Lessons: What Are You Learning? I posted this in the western riding section because western riding lessons is really want I'm most interested in. I've been taking lessons now since early this summer (give or take). I feel like I should be learning more. I am curious to see what everyone is learning in their lessons. What am I not learning? I just want to make sure I am getting everything that I can out of my lesson, and everything I can for my money. |
I just started riding about a year ago and have been taking lessons since then...bought my first horse in January. I remember a while ago questioning the same thing you are, am I still learning??? It felt like my learning had plateaued. I made the decision to stick with what my trainer thought was best. I have realized the better that I have gotten at the tasks I practice in my lessons (that even when I thought my lessons were becoming repetitive), I still had a lot to improve on back then. You won't realize it until things become easier or suddenly snap into place mentally for you. I was fortunate enough to have my own horse to practice on between lessons. It may take a while until you say "aha!" if the only practice you are getting is a lesson once a week without practice in between. Trust when I say that you MAY think you have it down...but you will see even more improvement!!! If you are getting bored, ask your trainer to show you flying lead changes!!! Haha! |
lol I know what y'all are talking about. I've been taking lessons for about thirteen years, and I thought I knew it all at one point. But then you learn new stuff or you do something as simple as ride a different horse and you're just like, whoa okay maybe I have some more learnin' to do. And yes, I still learn something new about horses with every lesson I take. My lessons focus more on teaching me how to train the horse right now. I have a BLM mustang that I work with as much as I can. It's hard work, and it can be frustrating sometimes, but it'll all be worth it in the end when I can finally ride him into that show ring. =] |
ETA: In my lessons we work on training me and my young horse together. Lately, we have been working on obtaining collection, shoulder ins/outs, we do groundwork lessons, respectful lunging....in my lesson on Saturday we worked on cuing my horse to slow his trot (I understand, he doesn't!!! So I guess that means I was having a lesson on training him). |
mox, when I taught western lessons, we would do the following with beginners/intermediates: guiding - lots of circles, changes of direction etc. leg aids - introduction to leg aids followed by exercises to improve transitions (lots of them) patterns improving balance - lots of stirrupless work, hands above your head, out to the sides, etc. confidence building - usually through games rating the horse- maintaining a nice slow jog, etc. basically, at this point, I just "put miles" on the riders...and let them learn how to correct/troubleshoot without me having to tell them. Not until the rider had mastered all of these skills did i start to refine them does that make sense? |
Everyone's post made perfect sense! I am just getting a little bored with the same ole same ole. We ride around a bit, do some circles, I try and maintain a trot and work up the courage to lope.. lol... Maybe I just wanna be the best, too fast. |
I am sure we all feel the same! Just keep up the hard work! |
I took lessons at the same barn for many years. Within the last 2 years I was there I started feeling like things got repetitive. Also our instructor started putting my group on the green horses to help "break them". Unfortuneately we wanted to teach OURSELVES how to ride, not help break their green schoolers. It might just be a quirk of a group lesson but I soon left after that. I got a private instructor who came for our farm once a week ($45) and taught me on MY horse. It was so much better. Things get explained in more detail and she help you and your horse become "partners". If you take lessons in a group make sure there is no more than 4 people in your lesson. I find anymore than that and it gets dull and repetitive. |
^^ I second that - and moreover, the instructor can't properly watch and aid you. my lessons were in groups of two usually, no more than 3 ever, and were private with youngsters and beginners :D |
A lot of the time, I am taking a private lesson. There are never more than 3 in a group. I find that the instructors get preoccupied with other things. My husband goes and watches, and he ends up watching more than the instructor does. The day I had SUCH a great lesson where I kept a steady trot and even loped, my instructor was consumed with one of her horses that had just been brought to the barn. The only instructing she did was teach me how to ask the horse to lower her head so she'd slow down into her WP jog. Other than that, I was pretty much on my own. I have another lesson tomorrow. The trails are closed now for the season, so I'll only be doing lessons until the trails open again in the spring. I know tomorrow there will be another girl in the lesson with me, which is fine because she doesn't have much more experience than I do, I think this will only be like her 12th lesson. I know that when I get my own horse and start taking lessons and what not, things will change, and maybe I'll find the lessons more informative. I know I'm still learning, but I feel like things are just getting boring. |

Oregano Chicken

CMS girls hoops dominates Soroco
In October 2011, seventh-grader Alex Hamilton experienced the joy of a sports season capped off with a huge win when her volleyball team took top honors at the district tournament. Now, she and her teammates are well on their way to repeating the success with a different sport. The Craig Middle School girls basketball teams were at the top of their games Thursday afternoon when they hosted the Soroco Rams. The Bulldogs' seventh- and eighth-grade squads each overran their Oak Creek opponents from the opening tip. After taking the lead early in the first half, the seventh-graders had a comfortable 27-8 cushion at the close of the third quarter, with strong shooting from Mattie Jo Duzik and Josey King.

Hot Trend: Clear Jewelry
Whether Lucite or glass, plastic or crystal, this new trend is popping up in necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings.
-Rebecca Daly
Clear is the perfect neutral — it goes with everything! So the accessory-challenged can breathe a sigh of relief as these chunky, transparent pieces are a jewelry trend that will work with literally any outfit. Most of these pieces perfectly bridge the gap between casual and dressy, so you can pair them with your jeans and T-shirt, or a little black dress. Take a tip from Mandy Moore who chose earrings that are versatile enough to be worn during the day. And while these icy baubles are the perfect wintery accents, they'll keep you cool well into the summer..

i was repairing a home amplifier when it "unrepaired" itself. help?
i replaced a few burnt out parts and tried it out. nothing.
then, while using my multimeter to check things, i noticed the main transformer wasnt putting out any voltages. this lead to more probing around a mosfet when suddenly the VFD lit up and the device appreared operational. my multimeter had shorted out two contacts and that led to the system starting up the way it should, rather than just turning on the LEDs.
i turned off the device and turned it back on, and just the LEDs lit up. then i went back with my multimeter to the same spot and t started again!
so i went and soldered two wires and a load (resistor) and went back to try again. the resistor burned, and the device did not power up properly. i tried again with my multimeter and nothing.
i removed the wires and tried again, and still nothing. now im really confused with whats going on here. can anyone help?
attached a photo. it was taken before any repairs were done, but the two points are labeled.
the chip is a pwm controller, and the pin labeled is VCC
Now for my synopsis.
You have a problem in the PWM circuit that somehow feeds the MOSFET. When you touched VCC to the center pin of the MOSFET, you applied enough voltage to turn it (the MOSFET) on and it stayed on because there was a voltage in the feedback loop to that same pin. When you removed the power from the overall circuit, the feedback voltage went away and the initial problem resurfaced. Adding the resistor to the gate of the MOSFET allowed too much voltage to be present and it sounds like you fried the MOSFET.
If you want to know how that happened, think about what the impedance/resistance of your DMM is rated (not what the range is selected/set to) - probably presents around 10 MegOhm. That would drop quite a bit of voltage and really limit the current going through. Too small of a load resistor would let too high of a voltage and current through, plus when you start to get the feedback, it can add to the voltage. If the gate of the MOSFET saw a voltage higher than it was rated, it was most likely compromised.
Also, what's all that brown gook all over that area? Looks like something went all 'splodey in there.
output (something smaller I expect?
If the output then if you can disconnect the transformer and check the resistance of the output coil (Secondary)
Come back with information.
theres 5 pins on the AC side, im not sure why, but with any combination i dont get any voltages.
i'll get a picture of the transformer when i can, hopefully i can power it up without the control circuitry using a simplified circuit that delivers the 120 AC volts when the amp is powered up.
I removed the transformer, theres no damage to it, but the amp powers up like it did when i got it, only starting up the 5v circuitry via the smaller transformer.
You can check across the individual windings to see what you get with your meter.
What you get might give you more information It looks like the Power supply may be a switch mode PSU as the transformer is very small.
These operate by switching the AC very quickly on and off. because the driver transistor (MOSFET in your case) is either on or off very little power is dissipated in the semiconductor and the high frequency allows for a much smaller transformer.
IF the transformer is open cct OR shorted you may (JUST be lucky) find that this is close to the start of the winding and you can take off a few turns and resolder the wire and get it working.
Otherwise you will need to start thinking of an alternative PSU or recycling.
If i can then i can save a lot of time seeing as how i have many switching PSUs laying around.
and if i cant do that, would i be able to determine the voltages that the secondary coils put out?
I assume you have checked and have open circuit or short circuit windings?
As for the voltages without some guide either on the PCB or components I can't think of a way to find out.
Capacitors will have a max voltages but this may well be a lot over the supply.
transistors have a design working voltage you can look up from their specification.
For 10$ you can buy the service manual here
that may help you/us.
I guess Samsung will be the best source for a spare part if your sure the transformer is s dead.
the capacitors are rated well above what they need to be. 50v.
I'll keep my fingers crossed and look around at the PSUs ive got, maybe i can get this to work.
if i could just find out those voltages i could just put a new power supply in, unfortunately its not so easy :/
$10 isn't a lot.
Test with meter first though to make sure it's bust.
PS making or buying a PSU will be a lot more than $10
i was looking at some of my PSUs today and the switching supplies from desktop computers have transformers with the same pinout on the AC side.
( | | | | | )
im thinking i'll try swapping the transformers when i get the time to do so.
and i can get PSUs for nothing here. i dont mind getting used ones.
i know the capacitors arent going to be helpful, and i know that 5v is already being constantly supplied by a smaller transformer.
some other voltages, like 3.3v, are listed elsewhere on the board, perhaps i should see if they trace back to the transformer?
should i also check the operating voltages of the ICs to see if they can give me a hint?
i remember being told in my electronics class that transformers are wound in a ratio, so, knowing the number of windings on the primary coil, i should be able to determine the voltages based off the number of windings off the secondary coil, right? or does that not apply to switching supply transformers?
i did identify two of the pins;
the VFD- and VFD+ pins are for powering the VFD display.
its 10v or under.
that just leaves 4 more pins to figure out.
Itll just take a little bit of probing to find the last 4 pins.
the pin 2 on the mosfet is the "drain" pin. im assuming here that the powering up was a side effect of my probing and wouldnt call that a success.
pin 1, the gate, is not receiving any voltage. in theory, if i apply voltage, the mosfet should let the power through and allow the system to start up, right?
the mains power is getting to the transformer, but of the 5 pins, only 2 of them. im making a safe assumption that the other 3 are controlled by the mosfet.
there is no output on the transformer. there is, but each output is less than 1v.
i cant find any dry joints, they all appear to be ok.
im not sure what the brown stuff was, i cleaned it off using a small brush. it doesnt appear to have harmed any components.
any help is appreciated, and if you need more info let me know.
HOWEVER some essential fault finding principles can be applied.
1. Take care, a mains powered system bites and can/will kill you if your unlucky.
2. Check the mains is getting to the transformer primary (REMEMBER THAT CAUTION IN POINT !)
3. Check the secondary out put (this is still AC if NO output disconnect the secondary wires and check again. If the secondary voltage is there something on the PCB is pulling it down. If no secondary voltage you have a faulty transformer.
4 The secondary voltage is rectified by probably 4 diodes and a largish capacitor & a couple of resistors. Check for this DC voltage at the ends of the diode bridge and across the capacitor.
5. If this is not there switch off and check the diodes on resistance. this may be confusing but they should each be similar.
6. Your symptoms suggest a break in the board or a poorly soldered component (dry joint) You may be able to bend the board by pressing, see the break with a magnifying glass or find the dry (dull and grey) joint by poking round with an INSULATED probe.
Come back if you get more information from all this.
i know the transformer works-- the entire amplifier was working properly before something went wrong. something is up with that mosfet. (attached to the heatsink) im guessing when my multimeter went from the vcc of the pwm chip to that spot (which leads to the center pin on the mosfet), it activated the mosfet and the circuit turned on. im pretty sure when i soldered the wires i did something wrong so i have a feeling i burned out the mosfet.
what i'll do after i get back from school today is check around the mosfet and see if theres voltage present on that center pin. if not, then theres something else not working right and i'll have to follow the traces until i find that component.

Computer appears regularly in "Elmo's World" segments on Sesame Street. One of Elmo's living crayon drawing furnishings, the computer bouncily attempts to present Elmo with his e-mail video messages. Computer is accompanied by a mouse. Initially uttering a generic "You've got mail", Computer chants an energetic "Elmo has mail!" in later episodes, while a fluttering, winged mail icon appears on its screen. Computer's most active appearance was in the episode "Computers", where it was introduced and, it later replaced the "Elmocam" portion of the segment.

It's been an interesting young life for Jay-Z and Beyonce's daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. She appeared on her father's dedication to her, became the youngest person to land on a Billboard chart, and now has her own strain of weed named after her. Yeah. Apparently some marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles are selling "O.G. Blue Ivy" and you have to think that Hov and Bey aren't going to be particularly happy about this. I guess we'll have to wait and see if they send their legal team after any of the dispensary folks in the coming days. [TMZ/Complex]

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Patek Philippe, one of the world's most prestigious luxury watch companies, has been run by the Stern family of Geneva since 1932. Today, some of its luxury watches fetch more than $ 5 million apiece and are sold worldwide through specialty dealers such as Tiffany, Tourneau and Henri Stern.
Patek Philippe watches are the epitome of class worn by the chic elite and always made with the finest materials. Jack Welch, former CEO of and one of the most influential businessman of the last century, is wearing a Patek Philippe watch on the cover of his book Winning. Patek Philippe watches do not try to speak too loudly to create a huge impression: instead the prices that the old pieces fetch at auctions and the veneration of the collectors do the talking. "Patek Philippe limits the number of items they produce," said one analyst, about the company's strategy. Although sales have been rising to over $1 billion in 2013 and thousands of pieces are produced yearly, the halo of exclusivity of the brand has not been diluted.
Patek Philippe targets those who appreciate exquisite timepieces and can afford them. That includes billionaires and millionaires, the numbers of which have been increasing around the world in recent years. In March 2014, FORBES found 1,645 billionaires worldwide, a record figure overall and also a record in such regions as Asia. In an interview to Hodinkee, one of the most widely read wristwatch publications in the world, Thierry Stern, member of the fourth generation to lead the family business, described his views about the future -and the past- of Patek and Philippe:
"Everything is circular. In watches, nothing is new, it's just moving and coming back. Now maybe, everyone talks about the Chinese customers. You can't live without them, but you can't live only with them, which is very important to remember. You have to be global, too many brands today are looking only to the Chinese market. Anything could happen in China. We are lucky, we sell globally. When I started, it was the Middle Eastern buyers, then the Japanese, then the Russians, and now the Chinese. To be strong in China, you need to be strong in Europe. You have to remember that. They come to Europe to see what is strong then go back to China to buy."
To estimate the fortune of Philippe Stern & family, FORBES compared the company's figures to public traded companies such as Swatch and Representatives of the company confirmed that Patek Philippe is still 100% owned by the Stern family. FORBES estimates that Philippe Stern, who was named after the watch, and his family, including son Thierry Stern who is the current president of the company, have a net worth of around $3 billion. The company refused to comment on the family's net worth.
Patek Philippe watchmaking company was founded in 1839 by Antoine Norbert de Patek who was joined by Jean-Adrien Philippe in 1845. In 1932, brothers Jean and Charles Stern, who were the dial supplier to Patek Philippe, acquired the company. Charles Stern became the Chairman of Patek Philippe SA and his son Henri Stern ran the U.S. distribution from New York. The company was established as the maker of watches of legends in the 1950's and 60's.
Philippe Stern, son of Henri, brought the company into the modern age with the introduction of Caliber89, known as 'the most complicated watch in the world', a commemorative pocket watch created in 1989 to celebrate the company's 150th anniversary. As the third generation to run the family business, Philippe was appointed Managing Director in 1977, became president in 1993 and took over the company upon his father's death in 2002.
Philippe innovated by launching the leading-edge production workshop in Plan-les-Ouates in 1996, then the Patek Philippe Museum in 2001, a "temple to watchmaking" located in a restored Art Deco building, which one Geneva website describes as "probably the most popular museum in Geneva." In 2009, to fight counterfeiting, Philippe Stern backed the launch of the Patek Philippe Seal, an exclusive quality standard to ensure the perennial value of Patek Philippe timepieces.
Thierry Stern, Philippe's son, born in 1970, joined Patek Philippe in 1990. He spent time working in the company's New York City mail room while learning the trade from the ground up. In 2009, Thierry took over as the President of Patek Philippe when he was 39 years old. Philippe Stern remains on the board as honorary president and reportedly plans to keep the company in the family. Thierry and his father Philippe Stern have affirmed a number of times to different publications that "The first and most important thing is to stay independent." The market expects that the company that is celebrating its 175th anniversary in May will remain fully controlled by the billionaire Stern family for a long time.

The unions had way too much power, they essentially held the country to ransome in the 70s, there were power shortages after a certain time of night also 3 day week to conserve electricity
If it wasnt for Magggie we would have the Euro and be in $#@! state like much of Europe is with a failing currency.
Also when she came to office the armed forces got a pay rise.Last edited by keefy; 04-08-2013 at 18:23.

She was essentially Britain's very own George W Bush. She will not be missed, much like how George W won't be missed when he is gone. They $#@!ed entirely far too many people over in their lifetime to get a fair shake in death.

Thatcher may have made some mistakes, but she did a lot of good too and was a good leader in my opinion. And, she had balls - more balls than any of our politicians today, that do U-turns when things get tough and always try to say the 'right' thing.
As for the unions, they should exist to improve the working conditions of their workers, not for holding the country to ransom. She did well to break them.

R.I.P. Margaret Thatcher, who's final wish was to be cremated but we've got no coal left.
"When I was 12, I milked my eel into a pot of turtle stew. I flogged the one-eyed snake, I skinned my sausage. I made the bald man cry into the turtle stew, which I believe my sister ate. At least I hope she did."

Exactly. All these people should have celebrated when she stepped down as prime minister.
Yeah she did some good! But people tend to forget about that, especially what she did with the Euro...
I don't think it's right that people are out in the street celebrating her death. To me, that is just sick.
What's worst is that half my Facebook is celebrating her death and they weren't even alive when she was in office.
04-09-2013 #18
This is something I got into last night on Facebook; while our generation might not have been alive to directly be affected by her decisions in office, the fact remains that some of our families were, and still are, suffering because of the choices she made. I really don't get the idea where people think she was a great prime minister from. In my opinion, she did nothing but truly $#@! this country over.
Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.

most of the people north of the midlands who were there when she stepped down were celebrating. me included.
I can still remember where I was, and what I was doing when I found out, and I can remember it like it was yesterday when everyone was cheering.
I was at college at the time, and one of my friends came in and told everyone she had jumped before she could be pushed.
no one believed it at first, but someone brought a radio in and turned it on. practically every local radio was running the story, and everyone in the building was cheering about it.
the feelgood factor fooled everyone into thinking labour were a shoe-in for the '92 general election.
it all depends on what side of the divide you were on when she was in power. if you were one of the rich that got richer, you are understandably going to feel some sadness.
however, if like me, you witnessed first hand what she did, and how it crippled a lot of people less well off, you're not going to be so supportive.
I'm not saying she didn't do some good, but from my viewpoint, the bad far outweighs the good.
this is the woman that was sat at the top of the tree when whole communities were consigned to the scrap pile when she crushed the mining & shipping industries, leaving in its wake promises of alternative training & employment that were left unfulfilled.
this is the woman that was sat at the top of the tree when the country was taken to war for political reasons
this is the woman that was sat at the top of the tree when 96 innocent people lost their lives and the subsequent cover up still leaves many none the wiser as to what actually happened.
this is the woman that was sat at the top of the tree when funding to public schools was slashed, forcing many kids to make do with what they had (I know this because I experienced it)
this is the woman who openly supported a dictator who was wanted in his own country for killing thousands, and torturing many more people, including women & children.
as far as this particular witness to what she did is concerned, a tear won't be shed, and a $#@! won't be given.
oh, and...
section 28Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you.
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do.
I am the resurrection and I am the light.
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like.

I know MANY Brits. I routinely follow British news and spend a lot of time on British websites.
One thing I have noticed is that the vast majority of people celebrating Maggie's death are people who weren't even alive when she was in office, and of the people who were, when you try to pin them down on exactly why they didn't like her it usually boils down to "I or someone in my family lost a job and then blame her for it".
The truth is she saved the UK from a financial collapse. In the 1970s the UK was just about bankrupt, mired in debt, double digit inflation, and ludicrous demands from labour unions. Before Maggie, Heath was forced to declare a state of emergency 5 separate times during his turn as PM, the most of any British PM in peacetime.
Maggie straightened the problems out. Yes, that meant that some people who had plush little positions in way too powerful unions lost their jobs. Yes, that meant that the average person was expected to care for themselves more, and rely on government handouts less. But, she took an economy that was on the verge of implosion and turned it into an economy which boomed and rapidly expanded for the next 15 years until the Labour Party ruined it again.
Those celebrating the death of Margaret Thatcher deserve to be left with an Edward Heath economy.

Whilst she isn't quite the devil that some paint her to be, the hate and vitriol is very much deserved in most cases. Yes, she was right about the Falklands and I applaud her for that, indeed her foreign policy was generally bang on and not as spineless as our pathetic leaders today are. Although she did ardently support Apartheid in south africa and called the ANC terrorists, so...
The unions did have too much power. She beat them. Could it have been handled better? You bet. But she got the job done and it's true that at the time Britain was at the mercy of these unions.
However, she was also the most socially destructive prime minister in modern history. Her contempt for the working class was and is an embarrassment, describing her own citizens as "the enemy within". She ripped the heart out of so many communities and things will never be the same again. So many of our countries economic and social problems lay directly at her feet, we are still suffering from her time in office. Social inequality increased by an order of magnitude when she was in power, she made the rich richer, the poor poorer. VAT rises, public transport fares going through the roof, food becoming prohibitively expensive and the private sector holding far too much power (and money) that didn't belong to them, crippling those at the bottom of the pyramid.
Which still leaves you with close to no insight whatsoever

Ischemic Stroke
Also called: Embolic Stroke, Thrombotic stroke
A stroke is a medical emergency. There are two types - ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic stroke is the most common type. It is usually caused by a blood clot that blocks or plugs a blood vessel in the brain. This keeps blood from flowing to the brain. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die. Another cause is stenosis, or narrowing of the artery. This can happen because of atherosclerosis, a disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries. Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) occur when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted briefly. Having a TIA can mean you are at risk for having a more serious stroke.
Symptoms of stroke are
- Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg (especially on one side of the body)
- Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
- Sudden severe headache with no known cause
It is important to treat strokes as quickly as possible. Blood thinners may be used to stop a stroke while it is happening by quickly dissolving the blood clot. Post-stroke rehabilitation can help people overcome disabilities caused by stroke damage.

Be prepared to have your mind torn apart and your life's meaning thrown to the gutter. There's a reason why they were so highly regarded in the indie scene back in the day. And it sure wasn't because of Let It Rain. They had serious cred from just the two. Different sound, amazing sound.
Well now they're part of SM as of the merger. And it's all downhill when the (former) big-name indie band has to perform for the SM Christmas concert. Or whatever the hell it's called. Speaking of big-name indie bands Deli Spice came out with some real...ugh, from their newer releases. I won't judge..."Open Your Eyes" - I'd wish they'd open their eyes.

The television show was in the United States and was Deep Space Nine; Zyal was the daughter of character on the show. Her name was pronounced Zee-ahl.I understand that a word referring or used in reference to Allah is not necessarily a name; more my explanation of the fact that I have now seen this word spelled as "Zyal" Islamic texts on the internet. I was wondering if it was an alternate name used for "Allah" or if this was some other reference used in scripture.
The other reference I saw was someone saying that Zyal was also spelled Cyal and was germanic in origin, but did not have a definition for the name/word.

Tesla has been bringing innovation and green style to auto industry, ever since the groundbreaking launch of the Tesla Roadster – and more recently with the announcement of the Model S sedan. But is Tesla content to rest on its laurels for now? Not likely. Elon Musk, the company's CEO, sat down recently for an interview in which he revealed that the next version of the Tesla Roadster will ditch its Lotus roots and will be bigger, better, stronger, and, most importantly, roomier!
The Tesla Roadster is probably one of the coolest vehicles on the planet right now, but it is not very ergonomically friendly. It only has room for 2, isn't extremely comfortable, and doesn't have much space. The next Tesla vehicle, it turns out, will be similar to that of a "roomier Porsche" a vehicle capable of seating more than two people, have roomier seats and more trunk space. All this, of course, will be based on the technology developed for the Model S Sedan which is expected to underping most of Tesla's future releases.
When will it be released? We're betting not anytime soon. But let's face it — with all the terrible news coming out of the industry every day, Tesla is definitely one shining example of what innovation can do in this field.

Pros: Great conservative style, adequate quality leather
I bought a pair of these shoes on sale for my 10 year old boy's first really big piano concert.
The only color they had in store was a shiny merlot/burgundy/cordovan color which I did not like at first but now that the kid has worn them so much I am actively trying to find a new pair to fit his growing feet.
The shoes look much better quality than they are, and they maintain their quality look despite very hard use and wear.
The shoes are really comfortable and the kid is really tough on them. He actually says the shoes are more comfortable than his sneakers!
After 9 months of devastating wear they can still be polished and returned to the kid's feet looking just like new, complete with the full shine and scuff marks polished away with Saphir products..
I don't own a pair myself, but I would not reject the idea out of hand
