Balance My balance is HORRID. I can only trot a few steps bareback without falling off, not to mention my horse's trot is wicked. When I ride my horse I feel like I'm trying to balance on a ball that is way to slippery. I'm completely a saddle cripple. I can't ride a unicycle so I need to learn balance a different way. Help please? EDIT---- Someone told me yoga would help, is that true? |
Yoga probably does help (not sure because I started yoga long after I started riding). Aside from balance, it definitely helps with overall body/muscle control and flexibility that you need for riding. As for what else you can do...I dunno. Anything that requires side-to-side balance (moreso than front-to-back). Bicycling is probably the closest. Skiing too, I guess. ed. I will say, from your description, it sounds more like a tension issue than a balance issue. |
What do you mean tension? |
If you are getting bounced off at the trot, it usually means your body is tense and resisting the motion instead of going with it. This can either be mental or physical: if a person is at some level unsure of their balance, they will be more tense. Also, if you are not particularly flexible through the hips, it is physically much harder to follow the movement (especially if the horse has a big stride). Yoga is excellent exercise for the latter, and I would suggest more time riding for the former: especially lunge lessons. |
Ha ha, as dumb as this may sound, my friends and I use to play "barrel bull riding" and it really tests your grip. You take a barrel, such as a barrel for barrel racing, and you put in on a trampoline and you get on and ride it, and have people bounce you while your on the "bull" and don't hold on and try to stay on. |
My friends and I sort of did the same thing. We had a metal oil barrel and attached it to springs and hung it in the air. You'd get on and it was like going for a bronc ride. We eventually had to put a rope to hold on to because metal oil barrels are very slick! Another fun thing we did for balance was grabbing two, two by fours and putting one on the other to make a + shape and then put one foot on one side and the other on the other side to make it like a see-saw. There's also a really expensive thing you can get that perfessional horsemen who do cutting use to improve their balance. |
If I grab a chunk of mane I feel way comfortable and stay better seated except when he starts trotting like a crazy horse and I feel like I'm riding a jackhammer. The only problem is, if I hold his mane he doesn't neck rein so I can only turn him one direction lol I think I am tense because the last time I rode bareback I took a nasty fall at the trot and ever since I've feel like I need to hang on for dear life. |
It seems lunge lessons would be the best solution for you, in my opinion. Would allow you to focus on your seat instead of controlling the horse at this point. |
Thanks for the advice. :) |
i agree, lunge lessons could help and riding in the saddle with no stirrups :) and, relax!!!!!!! :D |

A security breach at Adobe Systems earlier this month is more widespread than first reported.
Adobe now says hackers stole information from at least 38 million customer accounts, including part of the source code to Photoshop, the widely used photo editing software. According to Adobe spokeswoman Heather Edell, they believe a lot of the breached data consists of inactive IDs and test accounts.
A few weeks ago, on October 3, Adobe reported a cyber-attack on 2.9 million user accounts where encrypted personal data were stolen along with source code for Acrobat, ColdFusion and ColdFusion Builder. Edell said the company is still investigating the breach and is notifying affected customers.
If you're a Creative Cloud subscriber and haven't already done so, it's a good idea to change your Adobe password and monitor your financial accounts. Go to Adobe's Customer Security Alert page if you have more questions and learn what to do if your account was part of the attack.
Have you been contacted by Adobe?

But, as we have seen, honied is found in Milton; and Shakespeare also uses it in Hen.
Why have I listened to the honied silver of your seducing accents?
One would have said he had watched the honied meals of many butterflies.
She leans forward, and her ear drinks in his honied words; as her head is supported by her snowy arm.
It was like rolling the honied tang of a cordial beneath his tongue.
Tis hard for fly, in such a honied flood, To use her eyes, far more her wings or feet.
Mellitum venenum, blanda oratio—A flattering speech is honied poison.
The Losengour or pleasant flatterer was too lightly believed, and honied words made more harmful the deceitful error.
"Here's an invitation for all of us to Lady ——'s," said Mrs. Burton to him one day in honied tones.
And so he managed those children of a larger growth, to whose ears his lips distilled the honied eloquence of Sunday exhortation.
Old English hunig, from Proto-Germanic *hunagam- (cf. Old Norse hunang, Swedish honung, Old Saxon huneg, Old Frisian hunig, Middle Dutch honich, Dutch honig, Old High German honang, German Honig "honey"); perhaps from PIE *k(e)neko- "yellow, golden" (cf. Sanskrit kancanum, Welsh canecon "gold"). The more common Indo-European word is represented by Gothic miliþ (from PIE *melith "honey;" see Melissa). A term of endearment from at least mid-14c. Meaning "anything good of its kind" is 1888, American English.
mid-14c., from honey (n.). Related: Honeyed; honeying.
(1.) Heb. ya'ar, occurs only 1 Sam. 14:25, 27, 29; Cant. 5:1, where it denotes the honey of bees. Properly the word signifies a forest or copse, and refers to honey found in woods. (2.) Nopheth, honey that drops (Ps. 19:10; Prov. 5:3; Cant. 4:11). (3.) Debash denotes bee-honey (Judg. 14:8); but also frequently a vegetable honey distilled from trees (Gen. 43:11; Ezek. 27:17). In these passages it may probably mean "dibs," or syrup of grapes, i.e., the juice of ripe grapes boiled down to one-third of its bulk. (4.) Tsuph, the cells of the honey-comb full of honey (Prov. 16:24; Ps. 19:10). (5.) "Wild honey" (Matt. 3:4) may have been the vegetable honey distilled from trees, but rather was honey stored by bees in rocks or in trees (Deut. 32:13; Ps. 81:16; 1 Sam. 14:25-29). Canaan was a "land flowing with milk and honey" (Ex. 3:8). Milk and honey were among the chief dainties in the earlier ages, as they are now among the Bedawin; and butter and honey are also mentioned among articles of food (Isa. 7:15). The ancients used honey instead of sugar (Ps. 119:103; Prov. 24:13); but when taken in great quantities it caused nausea, a fact referred to in Prov. 25:16, 17 to inculcate moderation in pleasures. Honey and milk also are put for sweet discourse (Cant. 4:11).

Alex Blumberg and Adam Davidson continue to perform a valuable public service by explaining complex financial market issues in terms that normal people can understand. Their latest radio piece, broadcast on NPR on Friday and now available at NPR's "Planet Money" blog, explains how the commercial paper market seized up, threatening to bring daily commerce to a halt. A longer version will broadcast on PRI's This American Life.
An earlier piece by the two, Giant Pool of Money, which was highlighted on Research Recap in May, gets admiring coverage in today's New York Times. Excerpts:
"Mike Garner, a bartender in Nevada turned mortgage bundler …. said that market appetites for anything that resembled a mortgage pushed loan standards down: 'No income, no asset. You don't have to state anything. Just have a credit score and a pulse.' (Mr. Blumberg pointed out that the pulse thing was optional: 23 dead people in Ohio were also approved.)"
"It was clear even last spring that the people who perpetrated this fraud knew at some level what they were doing."
"Mr. Davidson said that the idiosyncrasy of the instruments, combined with the overlay of technology, allowed the traders to live in denial. They would sit at terminals and use data — historical data that had been gathered before they started giving out money to people with no ability to pay — and decide that the risks were manageable. All of it was unreal, ineffable, tough to know. Except the way it turned out, as Mr. Davidson notes near the end of the story."
"It's as if the global pool of money thought it was putting trillions of dollars in a savings account, but really, half of it was going into a furnace. The money is gone, burned up, never to come back."

Ice cream headaches are brief, stabbing headaches that can happen when you eat, drink or inhale something cold. Digging into an ice cream cone is a common trigger, but eating or drinking other frosty items, such as ice pops and slushy frozen drinks, can have the same "brain-freeze" effect.
Officially known as cold stimulus headaches, they can also occur when you suddenly expose your unprotected head to cold temperatures, like diving into cold water.
But there's good news. Most ice cream headaches are gone as quickly as they develop.
Symptoms of an ice cream headache include:
Because ice cream headaches go away on their own shortly after they start, there's no need to see a doctor.
Ice cream headaches are caused by cold material moving across the warm roof of your mouth and the back of your throat, such as when you eat ice cream quickly or gulp a cold drink. Scientists are still unsure about the exact mechanism that causes this pain.
One theory is that the cold food or drink may temporarily alter blood flow in your nervous system, causing a brief headache. Blood vessels constrict to prevent the loss of body heat and then relax again to let blood flow rise. This results in a burst of pain that subsides once the body adapts to the temperature change.
Ice cream headaches can affect anyone. But you may be more susceptible to ice cream headaches or have more-severe ice cream headaches if you're prone to migraines.
Ice cream headaches don't need treatment. Typically, the pain quickly disappears after the cold food or drink is swallowed.
To help prevent ice cream headaches, try eating cold foods and drinking cold beverages slowly. The best way to avoid getting an ice cream headache is to avoid the cold food or drinks that cause them.

I only cut one* significant exchange out of my Noah Baumbach interview, because it didn't lead anywhere and I knew it wouldn't interest many people beside myself. I don't have the exact wording, but in brief, I mentioned to Baumbach that my first exposure to Lou Reed's song "Street Hassle" came from the Simple Minds cover version on the band's best album, Sparkle In The Rain**. Baumbach responded that after he decided to use Reed's version in The Squid And The Whale, Wes Anderson introduced him to the Simple Minds version, which was the one that Anderson knew first.
I mention this not to boast that Wes Anderson and I have something in common--though I'd be lying if I said that I didn't think it was kind of cool--but because it reminds me of how shocking it was to me when I finally heard Reed's original "Street Hassle," after roughly a year or more of digging only the Simple Minds cover. I found a used copy of a Lou Reed best-of cassette, which included "Street Hassle." I don't know what was most shocking: the length of the song (about twice that of Simple Minds' take), the guest vocals by Bruce Springsteen (unhinted at on this liner-note-less cheapie tape) or the long, profane spoken-word section in the middle. Ah, who am I kidding? It was the profane spoken-word section that rocked my 16-year-old world. All that business about the dead junkie girl and Reed rapping, "You know that bitch is never gonna fuck again."
When you're a teenager, stumbling on something dirty is like finding a twenty-dollar bill laying on the ground. You just can't believe your good fortune. I have equally fond memories of checking Danny Peary's Cult Movies out of our local library when I was in high school, and marveling at the still photos from Behind The Green Door and The First Nudie Musical. It's not that these things were turn-ons, per se–and it's not like I didn't get to see nudity or hear naughty words in all the expected places, like R-rated movies, porno mags and pretty much every lunchroom conversation at school. But there was still something encouraging about discovering independent confirmation that sex existed, and that adults of substance talked about it.
Even now, explicit language in pop music is more flustersome than it is in movies or books, but it's especially exciting for a kid, when you can't be sure if you heard what you thought you heard. Did Frankie Goes To Hollywood really mean "come" ? Did Lou Reed just sing about "giving head" ? Is Prince for real?
With 'Street Hassle," it wasn't so much the frank talk about sex--including the line "it was like she'd never ever come," which I think Simple Minds "sha-la-la"-ed over--but the whole grimy New York druggie milieu, which included sex and death and all kinds of nasty business. A lot of Reed's vaunted sophistication is actually pretty crude--remember the "suckin' on my ding-dong" stuff in "Sister Ray" ?--but it sounded pretty honest and even profound to a boy from the Bible Belt, in much the same way that tough-talking Vertigo-line comics are made to impress arrested adolescents everywhere.
Recently, in a town near where I live, a concerned parent asked that a handful of books in the high school library be put on a special "parental permission only" shelf, because of their explicit sexual content. The school board initially planned to comply, but then the woman started adding more books to her list (including award-winning works by Toni Morrison and Gabriel Garcia Marquez), and after a series of torturous meetings and newspaper editorials, the school essentially told the woman to go screw. The local paper's letters page is still crammed with comments from people saying things along the lines of, "I haven't read these books, but they sound like pornography to me, and I don't see why my taxes should pay for handing out porn to kids."
As for me, I know that if I were a high school kid in that town, I'd be trying to get my hands on as many of those almost-banned books as I could. This is the way the world is supposed to work: Adults hide the raunchy stuff in plain sight, and teenagers go looking for it. It's how we grow up.
*There was another minor exchange I cut. At one point Baumbach mentioned "my wife Jennifer Jason Leigh," and as a joke I said, "Who?" Baumbach didn't laugh.
**A close second: New Gold Dream 81-82-83-84. No other Simple Minds album is anywhere near as good as those two, but those two are essential.

Tiger Tales
Here we go... more talk about Tiger Woods and his alleged escapades. Yes, most of you are sick of hearing about it and so am I but, in the midst of all the controversy, a serious issue with modern athletes exists and it affects the hobby quite a bit these days.
With the enormous sums of money paid to athletes for performance on the field and endorsements off the field, the level of personal scrutiny has never been greater. Of course, this is not limited to sports figures. All celebrities are followed, their every move watched, as regular folk almost wish for a possible train wreck to unfold. It is a truly bizarre and repulsive pastime but it is so prevalent today that it is fast becoming the norm.
With Tiger, and his squeaky clean image, he was almost too good to be true. He was a professional golfer with no peer. He was a devoted family man with, apparently, great values. He was dedicated to the sport, a man with unrivaled work ethic from the time he was a child. He was the guy you want to root for. He wasn't Floyd Mayweather Jr.... he was Manny Pacquiao... a guy who has stayed humble despite all the success, a man who could handle himself in and out of the sport. Tiger was a respected person, not just a respected athlete.
Unfortunately, as is usually the case with people, he was too good to be true. I am sure this hits home with many of you. It certainly hit home with me. Usually, in the hobby, we apply this cliché to a particular collectible or possible deal. Here, we are talking about a person, which makes the reality much more difficult to swallow. When you have admired someone or thought you knew someone for a long period of time, the letdown can be immeasurable when you find out the truth.
Today, the modern athlete cannot hide. In the past, the media approached these personal celebrity matters in an entirely different way. The celebrity was almost protected and their fans were protected from the truth, a truth that made their heroes human just like they were. Mickey Mantle would have been torched by the modern media, so would Babe Ruth, Bill Russell and many icons of sport.
Even though their transgressions are well documented now, collectors and fans seem to be much more forgiving since it didn't happen in real time. No matter how past sports stars behaved, in their time, they are seemingly given a free pass. This is not so for the modern athlete. It is the trade they have to accept as part of their chosen profession. So, you want to be a pro athlete? OK, but you will sacrifice your privacy in return. No matter how much money these guys make, I am not sure it's worth it.
That said, we are also a forgiving society and love to give people second chances, sometimes third and fourth chances. It is almost contradictory on its face but it happens all the time. Everyone seems to love a comeback story. Alex Rodriguez is a great example of that. He started 2009 as a goat, as an athlete and a person, but ended up a hero by going out on the field, performing and straightening out his personal life. A-Rod made people forget about his past.
Tiger will have that same chance. Will he make us forget? Perhaps, but what we should never forget is that athletes are human like the rest of us, just as frail and flawed as we are underneath their superhero shell.
Morality is a very personal matter. Should we simply accept "human" behavior? It is up to the individual to determine what is and is not acceptable. One thing is for sure, the tale of Tiger is still being written. It is now up to him on how the story ends.
Never get cheated,

Committee Opinion Number 683, January 2017
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 508, October 2011)
ABSTRACT: A key element of an organizational safety culture is maintaining an environment of professionalism that encourages communication and promotes high-quality care. Behavior that undermines a culture of safety, including disruptive or intimidating behavior, has a negative effect on the quality and safety of patient care. Intimidating behavior and disruptive behavior are unprofessional and should not be tolerated. Confronting disruptive individuals is difficult. Co-workers often are reluctant to report disruptive behavior because of fear of retaliation and the stigma associated with "bl...
Committee Opinion Number 629, April 2015
(Replaces Committee Opinion 526, May 2012)
ABSTRACT: Protocols and checklists have been shown to reduce patient harm through improved standardization and communication. Implementation of protocols and guidelines often is delayed because of lack of health care provider awareness or difficult clinical algorithms in medical institutions. However, the use of checklists and protocols clearly has been demonstrated to improve outcomes and their use is strongly encouraged. Checklists and protocols should be incorporated into systems as a way to help practitioners provide the best evidence-based care to their patients.
Committee Opinion Number 517, February 2012
(Reaffirmed 2016. Replaces No. 367, June 2007)
ABSTRACT: Handoff communication, which includes up-to-date information regarding patient care, treatment and service, condition, and any recent or anticipated changes, should be interactive to allow for discussion between those who give and receive patient information. It requires a process for verification of the received information, including read-back or other methods, as appropriate.
Committee Opinion Number 681, December 2016
(Replaces Committee Opinion No. 520, March 2012)
ABSTRACT: Adverse outcomes, preventable or otherwise, are a reality of medical care. Most importantly, adverse events affect patients, but they also affect health care practitioners. Disclosing information about adverse events has benefits for the patient and the physician and, ideally, strengthens the patient–physician relationship and promotes trust. Studies show that after an adverse outcome, patients expect and want timely and full disclosure of the event, an acknowledgment of responsibility, an understanding of what happened, expressions of sympathy, and a discussion of what is being don...
Committee Opinion Number 587, February 2014
(Reaffirmed 2016. Replaces Committee Opinion Number 492, May 2011)
ABSTRACT: Physicians' ability to effectively and compassionately communicate information is key to a successful patient–physician relationship. The current health care environment demands increasing clinical productivity and affords less time with each patient, which can impede effective patient–physician communication. The use of patient-centered interviewing, caring communication skills, and shared decision making improves patient–physician communication. Involving advanced practice nurses or physician assistants may improve the patient's experience and understanding of her visit. Electroni...
Committee Opinion Number 480, March 2011
(Reaffirmed 2014)
ABSTRACT: Empathy is the process through which one attempts to project oneself into another's life and imagine a situation from his or her point of view. Most individuals do have an innate capacity to show empathy toward others. Empathy is as important to being a good physician as technical competence. However, at times the health care environment and educational process overly emphasize technological competence, curing disease rather than healing the patient, or the economic aspects of medicine. This may interfere with an empathic approach in the clinical setting. In this Committee Opinion, ...
Committee Opinion Number 519, March 2012
(Reaffirmed 2013, Replaces No. 398, February 2008)
ABSTRACT: It has long been recognized that fatigue can affect human cognitive and physical function. Although there are limited published data on the effects of fatigue on health care providers, including full-time practicing physicians, there is increasing awareness within the patient safety movement that fatigue, even partial sleep deprivation, impairs performance.
Committee Opinion Number 656, February 2016
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 299, September 2004)
ABSTRACT: Imaging studies are important adjuncts in the diagnostic evaluation of acute and chronic conditions. However, confusion about the safety of these modalities for pregnant and lactating women and their infants often results in unnecessary avoidance of useful diagnostic tests or the unnecessary interruption of breastfeeding. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging are not associated with risk and are the imaging techniques of choice for the pregnant patient, but they should be used prudently and only when use is expected to answer a relevant clinical question or otherwise provid...
Committee Opinion Number 674, September 2016
ABSTRACT: New or emerging surgical procedures and technologies continue to be developed at a rapid rate and must be implemented safely into clinical practice. Additional privileging may be required if substantively new technical or cognitive skills are required to implement an innovative procedure or technology. Guiding principles for privileging should include cognitive and technical assessment to ensure appropriate patient selection and performance of the new procedure. Implementation also should include pertinent institutional and staff support as needed. A dynamic process for assessment a...
Committee Opinion Number 676, October 2016
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 585, February 2014)
ABSTRACT: Health literacy is defined as the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand the basic health information and services they need to make appropriate health decisions. Multiple factors affect a patient's understanding of health information, including cultural factors, a physician's health knowledge and communication skills, the demands of the situation, the environment in which the health information is being conveyed, and time constraints. The responsibility for recognizing and addressing the problem of limited health literacy lies with all enti...
Committee Opinion Number 555, March 2013
(Reaffirmed 2016)
ABSTRACT: Numerous occurrences in the past decade have brought the issue of disaster preparedness, and specifically hospital preparedness, to the national forefront. Much of the work in this area has focused on large hospital system preparedness for various disaster scenarios. Many unique features of the obstetric population warrant additional consideration in order to optimize the care received by expectant mothers and their fetuses or newborns in the face of future natural or biologic disasters.
Committee Opinion Number 439, August 2009
(Reaffirmed 2015)
ABSTRACT: Obtaining informed consent for medical treatment, for participation in medical research, and for participation in teaching exercises involving students and residents is an ethical requirement that is partially reflected in legal doctrines and requirements. As an ethical doctrine, informed consent is a process of communication whereby a patient is enabled to make an informed and voluntary decision about accepting or declining medical care. In this Committee Opinion, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' Committee on Ethics describes the history, ethical basis, and ...
Committee Opinion Number 490, May 2011
(Reaffirmed 2013, Replaces No. 320, November 2005)
Abstract: Actively involving patients in the planning of health services is recommended as a means of improving the quality of care. This can increase patient engagement and reduce risk resulting in improved outcomes, satisfaction, and treatment adherence.
Committee Opinion Number 621, January 2015
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 472, November 2010)
ABSTRACT: The advantages of health information technology (IT) include facilitating communication between health care providers; improving medication safety, tracking, and reporting; and promoting quality of care through optimized access to and adherence to guidelines. Health IT systems permit the collection of data for use for quality management, outcome reporting, and public health disease surveillance and reporting. However, improvement is needed with all health IT, especially regarding design, implementation, and integration between platforms within the work environment. Robust interopera...
Committee Opinion Number 447, December 2009
(Reaffirmed 2015, Replaces No. 286, October 2003)
ABSTRACT: Since publication of the Institute of Medicine's landmark report To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System, emphasis on patient safety has steadily increased. Obstetrician–gynecologists should continuously incorporate elements of patient safety into their practices and also encourage others to use these practices.
Committee Opinion Number 464, September 2010
(Replaces No. 328, February 2006, Reaffirmed 2014)
ABSTRACT: Ensuring patient safety in the operating room begins before the patient enters the operative suite and includes attention to all applicable types of preventable medical errors (including, for example, medication errors), but surgical errors are unique to this environment. Steps to prevent wrong-site, wrong-person, wrong-procedure errors, or retained foreign objects have been recommended, starting with structured communication between the patient, the surgeon(s), and other members of the health care team. Prevention of surgical errors requires the attention of all personnel involved ...
Committee Opinion Number 590, March 2014
(Reaffirmed 2016. Replaces Committee Opinion Number 487, April 2011)
ABSTRACT: Patient care emergencies may occur at any time in any setting, particularly the inpatient setting. It is important that obstetrician–gynecologists prepare themselves by assessing potential emergencies, establishing early warning systems, designating specialized first responders, conducting emergency drills, and debriefing staff after actual events to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement. Having such systems in place may reduce or prevent the severity of medical emergencies.
Committee Opinion Number 622, February 2015
ABSTRACT: Digital and social media quickly are becoming universal in modern medical practice. Data sharing, online reviews and ratings, and digital privacy concerns likely will become a part of most every physician's practice, regardless of his or her use of social media. The widespread use of social media in the United States brings unprecedented connectivity that opens new horizons for physicians, ranging from interactions with patients, to communication with peers and the public, to novel approaches to research.
Committee Opinion Number 639, September 2015
ABSTRACT: Information from vital records is critical to identify and quantify health-related issues and to measure progress toward quality improvement and public health goals. In particular, maternal and infant mortality serve as important indicators of the nation's health, thereby influencing policy development, funding of programs and research, and measures of health care quality. Accurate and timely documentation of births and deaths is essential to high-quality vital statistics. This Committee Opinion describes the process by which births, maternal deaths, and fetal deaths are registered;...
Committee Opinion Number 657, February 2016
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 459, July 2010)
ABSTRACT: The term "hospitalist" refers to physicians whose primary professional focus is the general medical care of hospitalized patients. Their activities may include patient care, teaching, research, and inpatient leadership. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists supports the continued development and study of the obstetric and gynecologic (ob-gyn) hospitalist model as one potential approach to improve patient safety and professional satisfaction across delivery settings. Effective patient handoffs, updates on progress, and clear follow-up instructions between ob-gyn hos...

By this I mean that sometimes there is stabbing, shooting, kissing, etc. It doesn't really bother me when they do it just once in the whole play, but sometimes it just goes over and over and over, and every time the acts are harder. Even when other users tell them to limit themselves, they will keep on going. My intentions are not to stop role playing but to just limit it, as I've heard I am not the only one that thinks this way. pokemondb asked Nov 18, 2013 by ℛℯოℯოbℯr edited Nov 18, 2013 by ƒιzz Show 5 previous comments I recommend just leave the role players to their role player needs, quite honestly. I hate role playing, but just leave them be. It's easy to ignore the role players. Plus, the forum will come up soon, I expect. So it won't be too much trouble now. I don't get all this hype about the RPing. It's simple. Roeplayers, myself included, will just have to tone it down if people ask us to. People who don't like roleplay will just have to respect that we do, and they can ask us to stop if it bothers them. Send the Rpers to the server. We have a room for them: http://pokemondatabase.psim.us/roleplaying Unfortunately people prefer using the chat room than the showdown room for some reason I get the part about leave it be and just ask them to stop, but while some may respect that, I find that most of them just ignore you and keep on going, even if several users aren't happy with it. In my opinion, the blood and gore if ok AS LONG AS NOBODY ASKS THEM TO STOP, but kissing, online? Seriously? No, just no xP Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 3 votes I agree with this. The chat room is for chatting, not role-playing. If there is no one else in the chat room I guess it doesn't matter, but it gets in the way when others want to chat. I suggest RPers use the Showdown server like Sciz suggested: http://pokemondatabase.psim.us/roleplaying answered Nov 22, 2013 by Pokemaster Hey Pokemaster, I have a bit of a request to go with this. Would you mind having this shown explicitly on the chat page? That the chat room is not for role playing and to go to the showdown server? This is needed, plus the server could use the publicity. There's ROLEPLAYING?! I'm so in with that, but I suppose the site IS for questions... aww... Um... Pokemaster? My iPad freezes on showdown. Is there any way you can fix this??

such as "Introduction", "Conclusion"..etc
September 2, 2008 — A new NOAA report on the health of Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary indicates that the overall condition of the sanctuary's marine life and habitats is fair. The report also identifies several emerging threats to sanctuary resources, including non-indigenous marine species, overfishing, waterborne chemicals from human coastal activities, and increased recreational use of the site.
The first-of-its-kind report about the sanctuary finds that its water quality is relatively good, although researchers have detected low levels of human-produced pollutants in the sanctuary's sediments and water-filtering organisms.
The report cites illegal anchoring, recreational fishing and spearfishing as additional human pressures on the living marine resources of Gray's Reef, and states that snapper and grouper are being overfished both within the sanctuary and throughout the region.
The report also notes that the red lionfish, a voracious and venomous predator native to Pacific waters, has been seen in the sanctuary and may pose a danger to local fish populations and recreational divers.
"Although the news isn't all good, this report provides us with an important benchmark," said George Sedberry, sanctuary superintendent. "The data in the report will serve as a baseline that sanctuary staff can use to measure future changes in Gray's Reef's extraordinarily valuable and productive marine ecosystem."
According to the report, additional research in the sanctuary is needed. Sanctuary managers are currently exploring the concept of establishing a research area at Gray's Reef to better study and understand long-term changes in the sanctuary's resources and habitats over time.
The sanctuary has already made management and regulatory changes in response to the human-caused pressures identified in the report. A no-anchoring rule went into effect February 2007. A fishing gear rule allowing fishing in the sanctuary only by rod and reel, handline, and spearfishing gear without powerheads also went into effect.
Prepared by NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, the peer-reviewed Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary Condition Report provides a baseline for monitoring changes to sanctuary resources and identifying research and management priorities. Similar condition reports are being developed for the other sites in the National Marine Sanctuary System.
The status and trends of the four main resource categories examined in the report — water, habitat, living resources and maritime archaeological resources — are summarized in a color-coded table ranging from "good" to "poor," with notes on the basis for the ratings and sanctuary responses to various pressures. Of the 17 resources or questions identified, none of the resources identified was listed in poor condition.
Designated in 1981, NOAA's Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary is one of the largest near-shore live-bottom reefs off the southeastern United States, encompassing approximately 23 square miles. Managed by NOAA, the sanctuary is located 40 miles south of Savannah, Ga., the second busiest port on the eastern seaboard.
Gray's Reef supports an abundant reef fish and invertebrate community. Loggerhead sea turtles, a threatened species, also use Gray's Reef year-round for foraging and resting. The reef is also near the known winter calving ground for the highly endangered North Atlantic right whale.

Here is the semi-embarrassing circumstance that resulted in the more-than-semi-embarrassing-realization that I haven't yet written about Maya Angelou for this blog: I was watching the first day of OWN's (Oprah Winfrey Network, duh) new programming with my mom, (...nope. Can't even come up with a sarcastic parenthetical. I just was.) and saw that Dr. Angelou would be featured on an upcoming series called "Master Class." Actually, I saw that a new show on OWN would feature Maya Ang—, which is all I saw before I bolted off the couch to my computer and yelled back to my mom that we needed to figure out DVR recording before Sunday night at 10. She was surprised by my new enthusiasm for the Winfrey gospel, needless to say. And I'm surprised I haven't yet waxed adoring on this writer, this poet, this actress, director, dancer, professor, activist, this woman who more than any other artist makes me glad to be American, to be female, to be human at the same time as her.
Listing what Maya Angelou has accomplished so far in her 82 years seems like cheating; like I'm just making things up to make her sound as cool as possible. But the minimally-embellished facts are these: She speaks six languages, has more than 30 honorary degrees, studied dance with Martha Graham, served on councils for two American presidents, was asked by a third to compose a poem for his inauguration, worked closely with Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr., was the first black cable-car operator in San Francisco (see what I mean? Not making it up.), and was the first black woman director AND, separately, first to have her (Pulitzer Prize-winning) screenplay filmed. And I'm only stopping because that sentence is too long, not because there isn't more to list. Her fingerprints are all over American pop culture, whether in her many cameos and appearances or as an inspiration. The only mistake I've ever seen her make was telling ESPN she thought the New Orleans Saints would lose the Super Bowl last year. But then she won the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the highest civilian award the American government bestows upon individuals, the same year. So I figure 2010 balanced out in her favor, ultimately.
Angelou was born Margeurite Johnson in 1928 in St. Louis, Missouri and grew up there and in Stamps, Arkansas. While visiting family at age eight, she was sexually abused by her mother's boyfriend. When her attacker was killed as a result of his crimes, Angelou stopped speaking for five years, thinking her voice had killed him (she named him to her brother, who told the rest of the family). When she moved to San Francisco, she was introduced to literature by a teacher named Bertha Flowers and began to speak again. Immediately upon overcoming her muteness, she memorized Shakespeare's 2,000 line poem "The Rape of Lucrece." And then, still as a teenager, she dropped out, became an unprecedented black cable car operator, went back to high school, graduated, and gave birth to her son Guy soon after graduation. To support him, she worked as a brothel madame, dancer, waitress, and cook, all before she was 25. Her nom de plume comes from a variation on her first husband's last name, Angelos, and her brother's nickname for her, Maya. She subsequently lived in New York, Egypt, and Ghana, where she met Malcolm X, with whom she worked on the Organization of African American Unity. After his death, Dr. Angelou worked with Martin Luther King, Jr. as the Northern Coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. King was assassinated on her birthday in 1968, and she was devastated.
Through her grief, she started writing what would become perhaps the most famous series of autobiographies published in English; a series without precedent and which seems impossible to follow.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is the first and most celebrated of her six autobiographies, the most recent of which, A Song Flung Up To Heaven, was published in 2002. ...Caged Bird details the first 17 years of her life, and was nominated for a National Book Award. Efforts have been made to ban Angelou's work since the early 1980's and continue today, for her discussions of rape, pregnancy, homosexuality, and homelessness, among other of her lived realities. At the pronounced risk of gushing too fervently, this is a book that I think teaches us how to be human. I can think of no wiser writer alive today than Maya Angelou. She is unceasingly generous in her contributions to American history and culture, both in how prolific she has been and how far-reaching her talents are, and in the many perfections (yep, I said it) of the work she has produced. Her history is the history of her country, her people, and her life, but it speaks to all countries, all people, all lives. Not to mention (gush gush gush) that she's still working today, and history is still getting made.

On one hand, he snapped a great picture. On the other hand, he might be about to face an angry Tiger Woods. Advertisement Turns out that Mark did what most of us might've done in the same situation. He hoped his camera wasn't too damaged, packed up his gear, and fled the scene before he wound up facing Woods' wrath: It's worth noting that while "Woods was furious about his blunder, neither he nor caddie Steve Williams objected to Pain's position." This means that Pain wasn't sticking his lens where it didn't belong, but instead just happened to find himself in the path of a rogue golf ball. [Daily Mail]Reply533 repliesLeave a reply

Q: There is so much depth all around, the battle to make this roster is insane! Which battles intrigue you the most? Thanks for all you do!– Evan Williams
Q: Personally, who has impressed you the most at training camp? – Eddie Coffman
A: I couldn't be happier to write that the guy impressing me the most is
A: Offensively I want to see how the team reacts to the hostile Seattle crowd. Many regard CenturyLink Field to be the loudest stadium in the NFL, so there is no better way to get battle-ready for the road than these conditions in the Seahawks first game back after winning the Super Bowl. Defensively, I want to see better tackling. McCoy preached the need to improve that basic fundamental from their preseason opener, and it has been a point of emphasis all week long. I want to see how the defense responds to that challenge.
Q: I think
A: It's never a good thing to fumble in any situation. After the game the whole team stressed the need for ball security and red zone efficiency. However, McCoy reiterated numerous times that he will feed the ball to Mathews in that type of situation regularly, and for good reason. Including the playoffs, Mathews had just two fumbles on 331 total touches (rushes plus receptions) last year. He also only had two fumbles the year prior. Mathews tied his career high with seven combined touchdowns in 2013 as well, and the Bolts are adamant he is their leading man into 2014. Here is what McCoy said about using Mathews in those situations:
"He's our bell-cow; I'm giving it to him again on the goal line. He's jumped over the top a number of times, and scored, in his entire career here."

Ecolab Inc. ECL, +0.61% named Thomas W. Handley as president and chief operating officer, effective immediately, as the company reconstituted the vacant positions following its recent expansion.
Mr. Handley, 57 years old, was most recently president of global food and beverage and Asia Pacific Latin America. He joined the company in 2003 as a senior vice president of strategic planning.
Ecolab offers cleaning, sanitation, pest elimination and maintenance products. In December, it completed its $5.6 billion purchase of Nalco Holding Co., which makes chemicals used in water treatment and pollution control, expanding Ecolab's business beyond its legacy of manufacturing commercial-grade detergents and disinfectants.
"The expanded scope and scale of our company following our merger with Nalco last year warrants additional leadership support," Douglas M. Baker Jr., chairman and chief executive, said. "Tom's business experience, knowledge of our company, focus on talent development and tremendous strategic abilities will provide me with terrific support and strengthen an already strong leadership team."
In July, Ecolab said its second-quarter earnings rose 47% as the company booked record sales following the Nalco acquisition.
Shares were down nine cents at $63.50 in early-morning trading. The stock is up 9.8% year-to-date.

Chef Kris Wessel of Florida Cookery in Miami Beach, Florida, shared this recipe as part of a Palm Tree Christmas menu he created exclusively for Epicurious. Conch is typically sold cooked and frozen, so to make this salad, simply defrost the frozen conch and cut it into bite-size pieces. Look for conch that's white or off-white and not brown or yellow if you're buying it from your fishmonger, Wessel says. The lime juice and vinegar in the salad will further cook the conch slightly, like a ceviche.

Daniel DefoeRobinson CrusoeDaniel DefoeRobinson CrusoePAPERBACK (MASS MERCHANT)
UPC: 9780553213737Release Date: 6/1/1982
LIST PRICE: $6.95 (you save $1.39)
This classic story of a shipwrecked mariner on a deserted island is perhaps the greatest adventure in all of English literature. Fleeing from pirates, Robinson Crusoe is swept ashore in a storm possessing only a knife, a box of tobacco, a pipe-and the will to survive. His is the saga of a man alone: a man who overcomes self-pity and despair to reconstruct his life; who painstakingly teaches himself how to fashion a pot, bake bread, build a canoe; and who, after twenty-four agonizing years of solitude, discovers a human footprint in the sand... Consistently popular since its first publication in 1719, Daniel Defoe's story of human endurance in an exotic, faraway land exerts a timeless appeal. The first important English novel, Robinson Crusoe has taken its rightful place among the great myths of Western civilization.
"Beyond the end of Robinson Crusoe is a new world of fiction. Even though it did not know itself to be a 'novel,' and even though there were books that we might now call 'novels' published before it, Robinson Crusoe has made itself into a prototype . . . Perhaps because of all the novels that we have read . . . the novelty of Defoe's fiction is the more striking when we return to it. Here it is, at the beginning of things, with its final word reaching out into the future." –from the Introduction by John Mullan |

Low Bach Pain (lombalgia): More than 80% of people who seek chiropractic help complain of low back pain which in most cases is a long term presentation. Spinal conditions account for one the main causes of absenteeism from work indeed to be considered a proper and true social pathology. Pain is often presents as a general symptom despite the existence of several different types of back pain mainly dived into chronic and acute. Degenerative back pain, scientifically called osteoarthritis, represents the most frequent chronic presentation where symptoms are usually diffuse over the entire low back and it tends to be associates with heavy work categories. Lumbar disc herniation is surely the most common and severe of the acute low back presentation. Both chronic and acute back conditions can find restoration and great degrees of improvement with chiropractic care.
Neck pain (cervicalgia): About 20% of pain presentation are confined to the neck region. Low grade long term neck symptoms is often associated with sedentary employments where instead acute neck presentation is more often related to a strain type of injury. Dizziness, ear noise, headache and arm pain or numbness can all easily be neck adjunctive symptoms. Cervical disc herniation is among the most severe and self-limiting neck pathology. Chiropractic care can cure helping to gain back functionality and alleviate pain around the area of complaint.
Whiplash: Traumatic presentation as a whiplash is not just a car related type of accidents but indeed it can also be the result of any neck trauma like in sport injury. Pain, stiffness, headache, vertigo and nausea are just few of the symptoms that can accompany this type of presentation. Chiropractic care can minimize and often correct the area of dysfunction.
Headache: About 20% of patients complain of headache. A thorough examination helps define the correct category of headache and address it accordingly. There are several categories of headache:
Temporo-mandibular disorders: Over a third of all brain activities are used in the management process of chewing and swallowing. Individuals who suffer from pure mouth occlusion often complain of pain around the area or irradiation to the neck region. Chiropractic together in conjunction to the dentist can help define and solve these type of presentations.
Shoulder pain: Shoulder joint being able to move freely among all range of movements represents the most mobile joint of our body. Each movement of this articulation is the combined result of scapular, clavicle and arm movements thanks to the recruitment of 23 main muscles. Most shoulder dysfunction are over use type of presentation therefore long term presentation. Acute can also occur especially in sports activities. Chiropractic aims to alleviate and rehabilitate most shoulder presentations.
Carpal tunnel presentation: Carpal tunnel syndrome accounts for about 2% of all patients presentations. Pain is caused by direct pressure on the median nerve that runs at the wrist level reaching the hand area. Individuals who suffer from this condition often wake up at night with pain and numbness at the hand region which often travels up the arm. Chiropractic as great successful rate in the treatment of this condition.
Sport injury: Many people practice sport activities often at professional level unfortunately getting sometimes involved in some degrees of injury. Chiropractic intervenes studying and analysing each sport activity in relation to that particular individual in order to prevent incidence of traumas otherwise provide good care of the unavoidable ones.
Children and Chiropractic: An important role of Chiropractic concerns interaction with children helping prevent skeletal conditions at a later stage of their life. Child posture analysis and movements observation is at the base of proper prevention.

Friday, we headed down to the waterfront for Multi-Cultural Day, anticipating great foods from around the world and lots of entertainment too. Somehow, we were too early, or too late for most things, and ended up at home enjoying our own trip to Thailand on our balcony with a Mark Bittman treat
Chicken Satay with Peanut-Coconut Dipping Sauce while we watched the fireworks from our own comfy seats.
Saturday was spectacular! Sunny... a perfect day for a drive to the Annapolis Valley and check out the new permanent home of the Wolfville Farmers Market.
I was going to share lots of photos and talk about the musicians and each of the vendors... organic produce, fresh grass fed beef, free range chickens, great munchies, crafts... But you'll have to settle for a photo of my "score"... except for the croissants and pain chocolat from La Boulangerie La Vendeene (also at the Halifax Seaport Market) ... Those we munched on our way to Grosse Coques on the French Shore just across from Digby. It's an Acadian town and we ate lunch at Chez Christophe, famous for its Acadian Rappie Pie and other tasty delights. The pie is definitely an acquired taste... chicken or clams in a potato sauce unlike any I've had. I do have to find out how they get the gelatinous texture from the potatoes. One of the most wonderful things about Nova Scotia, is how friendly everyone is. The restaurant is in a renovated house with bedrooms converted into small dining rooms. Very quaint. In our dining room, there was a table of "locals", who come by often for the seafood lasagna (I had some and it was delicious), the Mayor of Kentville (about an hour's drive) and a business associate, and some tourists who were interested in the lobster dish (which actually was the reason we were there... my Honey had been there on a business trip a couple of weeks earlier and knew I'd love it) which wasn't on the lunch menu. The reason for the convoluted tale, is that everyone got engaged in the conversation about the area, what to visit, what to eat...But I was in a hurry to get to the farmers market just down the road from the restaurant, hoping to find some Acadian dishes to take home before it closed for the day. Unfortunately, I didn't make it in time. Fortunately, we bumped into a business associate of my Honey's and we got to talking about how I missed out on lobsters because the season had just ended for that area. He said... don't worry, my brother-in-law owns the lobster pound and let's see if he has any. Bottom line, although this was going to be a big post all by itself...two gorgeous lobsters, plus a bottle of Atlantic Ocean Salt water and fresh seaweed. After a glorious drive home, dinner was the best way to end such a spectacular day...
But the weekend didn't end there. On Sunday, we went to the International Pow wow that was spectacular, even if my photos weren't. The little ones love the teepees the bestNot to mention the "big kids" playground at the other end of the park.

Needless to say, Gramma was pooped at the end of that adventure. Dinner was brilliantly easy and so good...
Naturally, I had to share this dish with Presto Pasta Nights, this week hosted for the fourth time, no less!!! by the lovely Helen of Fuss Free Flavours. I'm just getting in under the wire. Perhaps you can too.
And now it's time for bed... I wonder what adventures are in store for me this weekend? I hear the annual Pictou Lobster Carnival is on. After all, it's been a few years since we've been.

Hi all,
I'm having a devil of a time with the Timeline object (MacBook Pro, OSX 10.4.8, MaxMSP 4.6.2).
I can't get the timeline display to scroll to the right for placing/ editing events beyond about 10.5 minutes – the piece is supposed to be 30 minutes. It seems very buggy. Sorry, I can't really get much more detailed than that – it just seems so messed up.
Is there a fix in the works?

I wish I could offer help regarding the 10.5 minute limitation, but if your requirement is immediate and you can tolerate a very ugly workaround, one idea might be to cascade two more timelines behind the first one (the STOP of one triggering a START of the next).

I have a monitor with a swivel function and I usually use it rotated by 90 degrees (using NVidia Control Panel). Now, the problem is that on a rotated screen, KeePass Password Safe (2.x) freezes.
I think it's because of the non-standard screen size. I've noticed similar behavior in several .NET framework apps, but not in all of them, so I think the bug is fixable and it's not an MS bug. (The previous version - 1.x - runs fine on a rotated screen).

Jim Zemlin at TEDx: What We've Learned from Linus Torvalds
Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin is likely one of a handful of people in the world who has had a front row seat to the largest collaborative development effort in the history of computing, Linux. He understands that speed of innovation and quality of software development is dictated by forward thinkers who are working in collaboration.
That is why he was recently invited to speak at TEDx about what the technology industry has learned from Linux, and specifically its creator Linus Torvalds, and how some of those lessons can be applied to a variety of efforts and projects across geographies and disciplines.
Linux has been pretty successful and the TEDx audience was eager to learn how it has achieved such success and how they could apply some of the Linux community's best practices to their own work. In true Zemlin style, the lessons seemed a little surprising at first but as he elaborated, the audience soon understood how Linux has become the largest shared technology resource known to man. It runs the Internet, our smartphones, televisions, the world's high performance computing systems and eight out of 10 of the world's stock exchanges. It's literally the foundation for our global economy, he explained.

SPB TV has pioneered many unique customer services and in Barcelona it will be unveiling new interactive TV services around live football ? engaging viewers and allowing them to vote for their best players or teams and to receive additional on-screen information about players, goals and other background information while the game is in progress.
?We are focused on promising markets and as such our expertise and quality technologies allow us to target these regions. In addition to the Latin American market, Southeast Asia is a big focus of growth for us at the moment. We are looking to develop our reach in this region, and plan to expand in to Shri-Lanka, Thailand and Malaysia,? said Mr Filippov.
In addition to the football package, SPB TV will be showing how their clients can access behavioural preference data, to allow them to modify and target their marketing, as a core part of SPB?s recommendation system and targeted advertising. Other innovations on display at the stand include: a special interface for smart TVs, iOS and Android mobile devices, voting and targeted advertising applications and unique statistical data demonstrating the connection quality for end-users in real-time.

Remote Utilities Free Edition Lets You Control Your Home PC From Anywhere
Generic Company Place Holder Remote Utilities Free Edition
PCWorld Rating
Some office IT utilities make the transition to home use without skipping a beat. A staple of home PCs since the era of modems and MS-DOS, remote desktop control programs allow a user to take direct control over a system without being physically present. Given the mission-critical nature they often fill in a workplace, and the length of time they've been around, it's not a surprise that many of these suites are robust, stable, and capable of performing just about any computer task you care to conjure. Remote Utilities has been a player in this market for years, with their first release in 2004 of Remote Office Manager. Since then the feature list has grown considerably, but the biggest change came with the release of 5.2; the current version is now free for personal use. That's quite a perk, given the $30 cover charge for entry otherwise.
The Remote Utilities installation package consists of a server application (available for silent remote installation) and a viewer, along with a standalone, portable version of the viewer that doesn't require installation. This is ideal for use on a portable USB drive or borrowed workstation for quick access to files or settings that might otherwise be unreachable. Security is top-notch, with industry-standard 2048-bit RSA and 256-bit AES keys employed for encryption, and plenty of warnings about password protection during setup.
Over a dozen features are supported in the personal version of Remote Utilities 5.2.2, including all the relevant ones from the complete commercial package. Full desktop control, file transfer, chat and even videocam support are all on board along with extras such as a task manager, remote code execution capability and a terminal. Only IT-centered functions such as inventory analysis, built-in mediation servers and automatic integration into an active directory environment are gone from the free version, omissions not likely missed for home use. Moreover, configuration is straightforward and the Internet ID feature allows connections without opening firewall ports or entering IP addresses, although connection via those more standard means is fully supported as well.
Every remote access package has its forte, and Remote Utilities picked a good area in which to excel: speed. The desktop experience is only slightly sluggish and much faster than several VNC-based solutions tested side-by-side on similar systems. There's also a low-bandwidth mode that preserves this responsiveness in marginal networking situations. Image quality is crisp and scales well with either of these selections. That said, there's no "media player" mode to soften detail and raise framerates when needed for video playback, a feature common in recent desktop sharing and broadcasting apps. This is one area where competing solutions such as Teamviewer pull ahead.
Another issue is Remote Utilities Free Edition's all-or-nothing approach to screen sharing. While an entire desktop or monitor display can be shared, there's no way to share just a portion of the screen or the single window of an application. This limits some of the potential of the package as a teaching/demonstration tool, but is admittedly a fairly minor quibble.
The biggest problem is OS support. While every version of Windows is covered in Remote Utilities Free Edition, no other OS gets a viewer. Documentation suggests Linux users can get by using Wine, but emulation isn't really much of replacement for a proper OS native viewer. Meanwhile cross-platform Android, iOS, and Mac users simply have to look elsewhere for their remote access needs. The latter at least have been promised relief, Mac support has been promised soon.
Despite this, Remote Utilities Free Edition is an easy choice for Windows-centric home networks. The price can't be beat, and the feature list is more than enough to satisfy even power users. If you do Windows, this one is worth a closer look.
Note: The Download button takes you to the vendor's site, where you must register to download the latest version of the software and follow the installation instructions for the free version.

I decided to try to find greener pastures after about the 73rd time I was told that I and my opinion suck and to blow myself and die (or some variation) after making any comment about any random subject. Thanks, hopefully Artie doesn't die on the show tonight and this forum is around for awhile.
