- Gaited Horses
- - Trail vs. show shoeing?
Trail vs. show shoeing? My riding buddy just bought a TWH from a show barn, he didn't make it on the show circuit but seems to be a great trail horse which is what she wanted. Neither of us have ever had a gaited horse and know nothing about how their feet should be (they look really long) but we often ride through narrow, rocky areas, up and down hills, over bumpy trails and he seems to stumble more than average and often is forging or overreaching and either we hear clicking or he has gouged his front heels. His feet were done at the show barn when she bought him and we were wondering if there is a difference in shoeing for a show horse vs. a trail horse? Thanks! |
For TWH there is a big difference. They like long toes on them for more action in shows. Talk to the farrier and let them know you want him trail shod and not show shod. If you don't explain that to your farrier you are likely to end up with long toes again. If you explain it to them and still get long toes, find another farrier! -The stumbling comes from not getting their feet flipped back up in time due to the long toes. So he's stubbing his foot into the ground. -Back feet hitting the front is a pretty common issue for show trained walkers. For their whole show life them been asked to stretch out that over step and now he's suddenly being asked to shorten up his stride. With luck he'll figure it out and shorten that stride but some never do figure it out. You can ask him to step up his speed until the clicking stops until he learns. But, that could be a problem with his non gaited partner. |
Agree that you definitely need different trims and shoes for trail TWH. It may take some time to correct the show trim, over several farrier visits - so don't be in a rush to go trail riding too soon. The change in hoof angles will put strain on his tendons and ligaments during the transition, just like learning to wear flat shoes after being in high heels for weeks. One suggestion for the short term - use bell boots to protect the front feet from the back feet 'forging'. |
Thanks! She is using bell boots on him since he clipped his heel last week. We're trying to stay on mostly dirt roads for now. I have an 18 hd. draft cross and we always leave everyone behind at just a regular walk so she got this gelding to help her sore back and keep up. She's still fairly tentative with him, had a bad spill on her previous QH and so we're still having the same issue with them falling behind and I think when he's just walking along, he is doing the forging, etc. I sent her your responses so when the farrier comes next week, she'll know better what to say or do. Her farrier says he does gaited horses so we'll see....... Loving this little guy though! He's such a sweetheart, so sensitive, pretty head shy so we're working on that with persistence and patience. |
My farrier, who is amazing, believes that the gaited horse's hoof should be trimmed to fit the foot, not the shoe. So, my TWH goes in a regular shoe (just like my quarter horses) with a trim to match her leg and foot angles. She can do 7.3 MPH at a running walk on gravel....even faster and smoother on a dirt trail but I haven't clocked that. So, I vote for simple shoeing instead of anything else with weighted shoes or longer toes or whatever. Your friend's horse will still gait with 'natural feet' if it's a natural gait vs a mechanically-induced gait. Caution, though - those show muscles are different from trail muscles...and it will take time to loosen the first and strengthen the latter. Her horse might take a spell where it wants to pace instead of running walk, because it's easier for some horses, so make sure she knows if she starts to shift from side to side in the saddle, to make sure the horse isn't pacing. Have her slow down and start over to build speed. Have fun! |
Just a suggestion, your friend should take some lessons from a TWH trainer. It will help her learn what a gait should feel like and just how to get him to gait properly. |
Excellent advice, Darrin! |
Yes, we've found a trainer in our area and she's planning on doing that so she doesn't "mess him up." My horse hears him coming and thinks he hears another horse cantering! He's finally catching on to what Wesley sounds like when he's gaiting :) |
Please have your friend be careful in her choice of trainer. When talking about TWH and training there are soooo many different "methods" of training. Talk with the trainer first, before they even touch this horse. Ask to watch a training session of someone elses horse. Ask if a drop in visit is okay before a contract is signed. I know drop ins aren't welcome at a lot of trainers, and I get the logistics of it. But I'd want to at least ask. My personal opinion, so many lovely Walkers are ruined, broken, and crippled by certain types of training methods that I would be extra cautious in the choosing of a trainer. Please tell your friend there is a whole internet out there, do her research on methods, and results, of her trainers chosen training methods. *Goes to look in on her pasture puff TWH* I love my boy :) p.s. Shoes are very different for showing versus trails. Shoe the horse for the job he is doing, not his past life. |
Up here, our show horses wear plain old trail shoes or are barefoot. I have learned that TWH having a longer toe is beneficial for support on the back end and they do have a different process than say a QH, but in doing that you also need to have proper shoes to compensate for the angle of the hoof as well (as far as I have learned anyways). But we have had them done by a QH farrier for the past few years with no issues and they still walk and gait. As for him tripping on the trails, a true walking horse can and will do that as they drag their back toes when gaiting, so if they are too long they can easily be caught on a mound or anything that sticks up... At a clinic last year Barbra Civils had said although TWH are fabulous trail horses, a fox trotty or step pacey TWH is likely a bit better on the trails specifically as they pick their feet up higher and that often results in tripping less. That being said, our TWH show horses are our trail horses and they are quite sure footed and gait all the time...they do trip occassionally though if they need their feet done. |

The first one was an accident. We were fleeing from Mr. Greg's shovel only Floppy wasn't fast enough. I went back to give her one last goodbye kiss. One last, delicious goodbye kiss. Before long, there was nothing left but her paws. And I knew… the hunger.
The next day I met Mippsy and Hopper and told them about a special place where there was lettuce as big as their heads. I strangled Hopper with my own paws. Sweet little Mippsy was so horrified she couldn't move. When I was done with her, I began to sew my new face.
Soon everyone in the hutch was whispering. I began to leave little clues scattered around. I couldn't help myself. The bones arranged in a pattern. Secret messages scratched onto peppers and onions. It was like a big game. A game I was always winning. I stayed one step ahead.
When they caught me I was dancing in front of the mirror dressed in a pair of gloves made out of my old friends. I suppose, in a way, I was glad it was over. I didn't even know who I was any more. All that was left was… the hunger.

Medicine often comes up with great ideas that fall down a little in practice. Continuous Positive Airways Pressure, or CPAP, is one of these – a mask that can essentially undo the effects of obstructive sleep apnoea, but not if it spends the night hanging from the bedpost after the patient decides it's unbearably tight.
Orthotic devices and splints suffer similar fates – diligently worn to appointments, only to be discarded as soon as the patient gets home. Elastic stockings can help prevent deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), but not when sported on their comfiest setting (rolled down loosely round the ankles). And a recent illustration of this gap between ideal medicine and disappointing reality is the new strategy for measuring blood pressure: ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, or ABPM.
It has been known for a long time that measuring blood pressure in clinics can give an unreliable picture of people's blood pressure when they're out in the world. Blood pressure varies day and night according to what you're doing; it's meant to vary, to help you meet the demands on your heart. What matters for your long-term health is the average – that is, whether you're "running high" overall. A clinic reading is a one-off, reflecting the situation at that moment in time. And it may be falsely inflated by several factors. You may have rushed to the appointment; it may be at a different time of day from the last time you were measured; you may offer your left arm when last time you used your right (blood pressure can vary slightly between arms). Many people suffer from "white-coat hypertension", where their blood pressure goes up at the sight of a doctor (in what may be a lesson for doctors, this effect is less pronounced when the reading is taken by a nurse).
In an attempt to address this problem, the seeming genius of ambulatory monitoring was invented. The new national guidelines on hypertension – published in 2011 – state that ABPM should be used to confirm a suspected diagnosis of hypertension, which sounds great in theory. In practice, it has a few drawbacks. In ambulatory monitoring, you wear a blood pressure cuff night and day for a 24-hour period. The cuff inflates and deflates every 20 minutes or so during the day and hourly – or thereabouts – overnight. This gives a much more reliable picture of what your blood pressure is doing over a period of time.
Unfortunately – this is evidence drawn from anecdote rather than a double-blind controlled trial – it is unpopular among patients. The cuff, one elderly lady told me, "grabs your arm in a death-grip". Another patient documented his trial overnight: every time his cuff inflated he texted his wife (who was staying elsewhere) to let her know he'd woken up again.
One of my colleagues took the system home with her, reasoning that you shouldn't inflict on patients something you're not willing to put up with yourself.
I wondered how her experiment had gone. "It wasn't too bad," she reported. "Even at night?" "Oh, I took it off at night. You wouldn't be able to sleep," she said.
As a doctor, you get good at explaining to patients how beneficial various investigations and treatments are. But it's vital to consider if they're also annoying. Drugs that have to be taken at odd times of day, cream that feels nasty, anything that involves pain or laborious attention to detail are all prone to failure. And you may never know why, as patients are often kind enough to keep such minor irritations from you.

The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith received an AI score of 87 for Part One and 89 for Part Two. Both episodes got the highest AI scores on any of the main four channels for the two days.
The two scores are the highest received for the series which also received the highest viewing figures on BBC one at this timeslot for this year.
The Appreciation Index, or AI, is a measure of how much the audience liked the programme. It is a score out of 100, based on responses from a carefully selected panel including a large childrens section. The average score for children's television is 72. A score in excess of 85 is regarded as excellent while a score below 60 is poor.

A number of years ago , I spent part of the spring cycling my way across the country, riding from Long Beach, California, to New York City. It was something I had always wanted to do, and the opportunity presented itself when I was booked on a multicity tour to promote a book I'd written. I knew that the 3,600-mile trip would be grueling, but I thought it would actually be less stressful than racing from one airport to another, which is how a typical book tour unfolds. To prepare, I trained hard so that I'd be able to hit my target of riding about one hundred miles a day. I planned to sleep in a different town every night and visit bookstores, malls, and fitness centers in more than thirty cities along the way.
I wasn't far into the trip when I began to feel dramatic changes taking place. By the time I hit Arizona, I had a mental and emotional clarity that I'd never before experienced. At times, I'd be riding for eight hours or more with nothing but the sound of my own breathing and the beat of my heart in my ears. As I looked around me, colors seemed brighter, the world smelled fresher, sounds seemed sharper, the things I touched seemed more textured. All my senses were amplified. And nothing rattled me — not a dog giving chase, rain on my back, a treacherous ascent. As my legs cycled rhythmically, the pedestrian concerns of the everyday slipped away and I'd find my thinking stripped down to the essentials. I contemplated the scenery and I contemplated my life. What was important to me? What did I want out of life? While I was on that trip it all became so much clearer.
As I edged toward Chicago I became aware that I was also going through extraordinary physical changes. I'd been hailed on at the Grand Canyon and twice climbed more than 11,000 feet in the still snowy Rockies, and I felt invincible, virtually bulletproof. Every night I slept like a rock. In my early forties at the time, I thought I was pretty fit going into the ride, but that extreme physical challenge left me much stronger than I'd ever been in my life, even in my twenties. While I knew riding cross-country would be a challenge and that I'd come off the bike fitter than when I started, I hadn't realized how much the trip would transform me both physically and emotionally. I was particularly amazed at how clearheaded I felt. I was able to look at my life and see exactly where I wanted to go. By the time I reached the East Coast, I was operating on all cylinders and had regained (and even significantly surpassed) the strength, power, energy, lucidity, and drive of my earlier years.
Graduate students in exercise physiology learn about the anti-aging benefits of physical activity, and I was no exception. In fact, I'd had a longtime interest in the science of aging and the prevention of age-related decline. But once my cross-country trip allowed me to see the possibilities for myself, I became passionate about the subject. It wasn't long after I completed that cross-country tour that I started exploring ideas for this book. It's not practical for most people to get on a bike and ride for a month (it's not something I could easily fit into my life anymore either), but I wondered if there were adjustments you could make to your everyday life that would have a similar de-aging, life-enhancing effect. I knew that a good fitness plan could go a long way toward turning back the clock, but what else was possible?
More in books
To find out, I spent the next few years talking to experts in other fields, learning about the latest advances in anti-aging science and determining what aspects of that research could be translated into a workable plan for daily life.
After a time, it became evident that there are four main fronts on which you can vigorously fight back against the effects of aging: exercise, nutrition, skin care, and restorative sleep. Addressing any one of these areas with an eye toward shaving off the years can have a tremendous payoff, but it pales in comparison to the combined impact of all four — especially when you also control the stress in your life and practice positive thinking, two other aspects that can significantly slow the aging process. A well-rounded comprehensive approach can not only help you look and feel younger, but can actually make your body reverse course, even at the cellular level. At this point there's little doubt: Good anti-aging strategies can both extend your life and substantially raise the quality of it.
By calling this book 20 Years Younger I'm making what some might think is an exaggerated claim. But most people these days are living lives that predispose them to early aging. If you grab ahold of your health and actively pursue greater well-being, I don't think it's extravagant to say that you can dramatically turn things around. It's commonly accepted that the body undergoes certain changes with age, and to some extent those changes are inevitable. Even works of art maintained under pristine light and temperature conditions eventually begin to wither. What is less known, though, is that the life you lead and the decisions you make every day are largely responsible for how quickly, profoundly, and noticeably you age. In fact, much of what we think of as aging — wrinkles, weight gain, memory loss, lack of energy, certain types of illnesses — is not primarily attributable to the passage of time. Rather, it's a direct result of sedentary living, poor diet, lack of sleep, insufficient (or nonexistent) skin care, too much stress, and even a defeatist attitude. It stands to reason, then, that if you reverse those habits — if you get moving, eat longevity-promoting foods, sleep soundly and adequately, protect and nourish your skin, and improve your outlook on the world — the signs of aging will reverse themselves, too.
Some people have gotten the message that the life you lead can indeed turn back the clock. But I feel others have misinterpreted the message to mean that they should zealously pursue any program that promises everlasting youth. Extreme exercise regimens, severely restrictive diets, unproven hormonal therapies, cosmetic surgery makeovers — they may all seem like quick and effective ways to return the body to its youthful self, but more often than not they're counterproductive. What we're offering you in this book instead are natural, research-based strategies for getting your body (and mind) in top form and even lowering your physiological age. The goal isn't to help you turn yourself back into a teenager but rather to help you lead your longest, fullest, and healthiest life. Stay strong, energetic, mentally sharp, and confident, and your age will not define — or debilitate — you. Instead it will be incidental; something noted on your driver's license but not indicative of your health or capabilities.

text: 30 Previews In 30 Days: The Golden State WarriorsBasketbawful10/09/08 11:30amFiled to: NBA previewsNba30 Previews in 30 daysGolden State Warriors16EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that is so totally screwed: The Golden State Warriors. When last we saw them: Finished 48-38, third in the Pacific Division and ninth overall in the West. Failed to live up to their rep as the NBA's premier feel good team by not returning to the playoffs to act as a bracket buster for the second straight year.Key Arrivals: Anthony Morrow, Anthony Randolph, Corey Maggette, Marcus Williams, Richard Hendrix, Ronny Turiaf Key Departures/Defections/Jailbreaks: Austin Croshere, Baron Davis, Chris Webber (does this really count?), Kosta Perovic, Matt Barnes, Mickael Pietrus, Patrick O'Bryant, Troy Hudson The Good: Wow. Writing this section is like trying to pick delicious leftovers out of a McDonald's dumpster, but here goes. Playing Nellie Ball means the Warriors will score a lot of points: They led the league last season in both scoring (111.0 PPG) and shot attempts (90.3). They signed their franchise guy, Monta Ellis, to a long-term deal. Andris Biedrins, whom they also locked up for six years, is a double-double machine who doesn't require a lot of touches. Stephen Jackson can light it up (20.1 PPG last season), plus he provides scary toughness and emotional leadership. Corey Maggette loves to shoot the rock, which means he'll fit perfectly into Don Nelson's offense. Al Harrington can do a little bit of everything and he's just entering his prime (Harrington turned 28 last February). Ronny Turiaf may be limited in the talent department, but he'll certainly bring intensity (and insanity) off the bench. Kelenna Azubuike and Brandan Wright are talented up-and-comers. Marco Belinelli and rookie Anthony Randolph looked great in the Summer League. The bench is a little deeper, so Nelson won't be have to rely on his patented six-man rotation. The Bad: Baron Davis defected to the Clippers (basically because Chris Mullin didn't want to pay him enough). Mind you, Davis was not only their best clutch shooter, he was their only real playmaker. Who's going to keep Nelson's offense running now? They weren't able to win (read that: give up bags and bags of money to obtain) Gilbert Arenas or Elton Brand in the free agent lottery. Shortly after he signed his new king-sized contract, Ellis got injured his ankle, had surgery (and will have to miss at least three months because of it), lied to his employers (and the world at large) about how he hurt himself, and then lost major cool points when he admitted that it happened while [DORK ALERT!!] riding a freaking moped. They probably overpaid for Biedrins ($62 million), who is talented but limited (think Troy Murphy 2.0). As I said above, Stephen Jackson is their EMOTIONAL LEADER. As a team, the Warriors treat defense like it's some kind of contagious disease; in 2007-08, they were dead last in points willingly surrendered (108.8) and 26th in field goal percentage allowed (.468). Their lack of size and helter-skelter playing style hurts them on the boards, which is why they were next to last in rebounding differential last season (-3.84). Half of the guys on the team are new this season, and their prime time player isn't going to be around for another couple months...so the team's chemistry and continuity are in question. Don Nelson is in the final year of his contract, so he's a lame duck coach. Their longtime mascot, Thunder, was another casualty of Clay Bennett's raping of Seattle. Fun Facts: The Warriors were founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1946 as the Philadelphia Warriors, a charter member of the Basketball Association of America. And check out their crazy mascot. The Warriors have retired almost as many numbers as the Lakers: 13 (Wilt Chamberlain), 14 (Tom Meschery), 16 (Al Attles), 24 (Rick Barry), and 42 (Nate Thurmond). Only one Warrior ever made the NBA All-Defensive First Team, and it's been a while (Nate Thurmond made the team in 1969 and 1971). The Warriors could have drafted Vince Carter, but they traded his rights for Antawn Jamison. Videotastic extra: It's sad that the Warriors lost their mascot, but I know there's at least one cheerleader who's not sorry to see him gone... Reply16 repliesLeave a reply

Sometimes I'm glad when I leave the radio on after a road game. Ironman by Sabbath then Copperhead Road by Steve Earle. Nice.
Anyway, plenty of players have helped the WBS Penguins hold down the fort while their top seven scorers are in Pittsburgh, but none more so than Brad Thiessen and Ben Street.
Thiessen made 35 saves and Street scored twice as the Pens won 3-0 in Norfolk tonight.
A Thiessen stat: Since returning from a leg injury last Monday, he is 5-1 with a 0.50 GAA and .978 save percentage. That's crazy.
A Street stat: Since being called up Feb. 3, he has seven goals and nine points in eight games. If this guy hasn't earned a permanent AHL job with his play in the last two weeks, I'd be stunned.
Street scored the game's first goal when he picked up a blocked Robert Bortuzzo shot in the high shot and fired a puck past Mike Smith. He also added an empty netter in the the third period.
Zach Sill converted on a 2-on-1 with Keven Veilleux for the Pens' other goal. Veilleux has seven points (2-5) in eight games in February. That's not too shabby either.
On the personnel front, Tim Wallace arrived in Norfolk, but with Nick Johnson leaving Friday's practice in Pittsburgh with an upper-body injury, it's entirely possible Wallace will be called up before Sunday. The team is saying Wallace missed tonight's game with an illness, but that might be code for "he's not going to risk getting hurt in an AHL game when he's going to be called up to the NHL in a day."
Speaking of getting hurt in an AHL game, Geoff Walker was injured in a fight with Norfolk's Chris Durno off the opening faceoff and did not return.
If Wallace doesn't play, that leaves WBS with 10 healthy forwards and seven D for tomorrow's rematch with Norfolk. A call-up from Wheeling, then, might be a possibility.
The only forward on a WBS contract in Wheeling is a guy the Penguins just picked up in a trade today. They got Tyler Murovich from Springfield for future considerations. He reported right to the Nailers. A rookie from Pittsburgh, Murovich has 10 points in 15 ECHL games and four points in 25 AHL games this season.
Given the logistics of traveling to Norfolk, it wouldn't shock me if the Pens just played with 17 guys either.
At this rate, what the hell? I'm starting to get the feeling that this team could win no matter what the lineup is as long as No. 39 is in net. He's been that good lately.
Bye for now,

The league is going to crush Artest anyways though, very similar to Harden incident, even also slammed the orbital bone and the exact same snap and strike thing as Harden.
The leagues biggest moron got 7 games for the Harden one and that was very forgiving, so this will have to be 10+ and man does he ever deserve it.

The "Dean" (har
har) of Xbox education, Dean Takahashi, wrote a typically thorough and thoughtful piece for this month's Electronic Business magazine. What? You're not a
subscriber? Tsk tsk. Lucky for you, the good folks at EBM have put the article online.
profiles Nick Baker, one of the 360 system architects who decided to switch chip camps, going from Intel to rival IBM
and switching from NVIDIA to (bitter) rival ATI. Takahashi covers the fascinating project of building a next-gen game
console in -- what we assume is -- just a taste of his upcoming book on
the 360.
One of the most interesting parts in the piece is Takahashi's details surrounding the shortage of
the GDDR3 RAM. He writes, "Both Samsung and Infineon Technologies had committed to making the GDDR3 memory for
Microsoft. But some of Infineon's chips fell short of the 700 megahertz specified by Microsoft. Using such chips could
have slowed games down noticeably. Microsoft's engineers consulted and decided to start sorting the chips, not using
the subpar ones. Because GDDR3 700-MHz chips were just ramping up, there was no way to get more chips. Each system used
eight chips. The shortage constrained the supply of Xbox 360s."
Microsoft has argued that it was a
generalized component shortage, but we've known better.
[Thanks, Joe]

Drug: High-Dose Chemotherapy with Tandem PBSC Rescue.
Significant advances have been made in recent years in the treatment of solid tumors of childhood. However, much of the improvement in survival has been made in low stage and localized disease. Of significance is the fact that the improvements have come in up-front remission rates without translation into significantly high event-free survival(EFS) or overall survival (OS). This is despite the fact that these tumors as a whole are largely chemotherapy responsive.
Recent advances in the understanding of the biology of hematopoeitic stem cells have driven the design of treatment regimens that allow for dose intensification without unacceptable hematologic toxicity. Protocol development has focused on active agents that have a broad range between hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities. This study uses a double autologous peripheral blood stem cell rescue (PBSC) following dose-intensive chemotherapy for the treatment of high-risk pediatric solid tumors. This study utilizes PBSC to limit the risk of tumor cell contamination while retaining prompt hematologic recovery from these highly intensified treatments.

Early Primate Had Transitional Lemur-like Grooming Claw
Celebrities are channeling a distant relative with what Harper´s Bazaar describes as the latest trend in nail fashion for 2012: claws. But this may not be the first time primates traded their nails for claws.
A new study co-authored by a University of Florida researcher examines the first extinct North American primate with a toe bone showing features associated with the presence of both nails and a grooming claw, indicating our primate ancestors may have traded their flat nails for raised claws for functional purposes, much like pop icons Adele and Lady Gaga are doing today in the name of fashion.
The study appearing in the journal PLoS ONE Jan. 10 raises questions about a 2009 study documenting the lack of grooming claws in another primitive primate species said to be a link in the ancestry of apes, monkeys and humans.Study co-author Jonathan Bloch, an associate curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the UF campus, said the 47-million-year-old primate, Notharctus tenebrosus, clearly had a grooming claw on its second digit. Surprisingly, the claw was somewhat flattened like a nail.
"Notharctus may provide evidence that nails did develop in this primate group, or it could be telling us that claws were developed from nails in this group, which would make them more lemur like," Bloch said.
Lead author Stephanie Maiolino, an anthropology graduate student at Stony Brook University, said the presence or lack of a grooming claw has previously been used to classify primate groups: humans, apes and monkeys have nails, while lemurs have grooming claws in their second digit.
"But it´s not clear that lacking a grooming claw means a species is related to anthropoids, which is the primate group that includes apes, humans and monkeys," said Maiolino, who has studied primates for six years while working on her doctoral dissertation.
The toe bone described in the new study has claw-like features near the base, but the tip is more flat, much like a modern monkey nail.
Study co-author Doug Boyer, an assistant professor of physical anthropology at Brooklyn College in New York, said the primate was "either in the process of evolving a nail and becoming more like humans, apes and monkeys, or in the process of evolving a more lemur-like claw."
"I now believe it´s more likely that nails were the starting point and grooming claws developed as a functional trait," Boyer said.
The findings raise questions about a 2009 study describing the extinct primate species Darwinius masillae, which has been classified in the same group of extinct primates as Notharctus.
Darwinius was previously interpreted to have a nail on its second digit instead of the expected grooming claw, which led researchers to hypothesize the ancient primate and the group it belonged to were more closely related to monkeys, apes and humans than lemurs.
Wighart Von Koenigswald, professor of paleontology at the University of Bonn in Germany and a co-author of the 2009 study, said he disagrees with some findings in the current study, and his more recent research on Darwinius and related taxa shows it is likely Darwinius also had a grooming claw like lemurs.
"I don´t know whether one can call such a lemuroid grooming claw transitional," Von Koenigswald said. "There are quite a number of details I am careful to agree with in the final report and the cladistic analysis."
Boyer said the current study "demonstrates without a doubt that the shape of the digit is best described as intermediate" but points out the paper actually embraces the uncertainty about what type of evolutionary transition this may represent.
In the new study, researchers also compared the anatomy of the two extinct primates, Darwinius and Notharctus, to other known living and fossil primates to determine their relationship within their family tree. After examining the data, both with and without information about the grooming claw, the comparison shows both ancient primates were more closely related to lemurs than monkeys, apes, and humans.
The study was funded in part by the National Science Foundation and Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. Other study co-authors include Christopher C. Gilbert of Hunter College at the City University of New York and Joseph Groenke of Stony Brook University.

Hey - I decided he needs his own, non-spoiler, thread. After all , he is a genuine Italian prince! I just checked the Jimmy Kimmel website and he's going to be a guest on Friday October 20. Yay.
Thanks Paja I'll tape it because I'll be up. What time does Jimmy comes on.
Finally Larry gets his own thread after two full episodes of the show. Better late than never! I guess we just like to keep royalty waiting around here. :laugh
I copied this from my post int he Media thread before Pajamasam was kind enough to start the Lorenzo thread :yay
His mom said in the at home section of the first show that Lorenzo has a soul like Rome (paraphrasing) and that statement, along with our current knowledge of his two long term relationships, has me wondering if he isn't too romantic. We don't know the circumstances but a seven year relationship without a proposal and then (what has been rumored to be) a nine year with a ring and break up not long after, speaks to a man, not only with commitment problems, but one with a wide streak of romance. Is he living in what is usually a female fantasy world of finding the perfect one and living happily ever after? Begs the question - why weren 't the previous girlfriends perfect and why is it any different this time? Also, the fact that he fell in love with two of the candidates before having to choose one doesn't bode well for a long term future with his current girlfriend/fiancee. Come on, PLo - make it stick to your soul this time!
If he was willing to stay in relationships for that long without marrying, then clearly he doesn't believe marriage is all that important - just a legalism that has tremendous potential downsides to a young entrepreneur with a growing financial empire to protect. So he won't be getting married to any of these girls, either. :mmm
ABC picks another winner...
Maybe, maybe not. Maybe he's one of those guys who likes having a steady girlfriend, hoped it would lead to marriage but realized it wouldn't. Sometimes the hardest question to ask is the one to which you know the answer, so maybe LorBor stayed with those girls in hopes that it could be marriage despite knowing that it probably wouldn't.
But I agree - the prospects for a wedding from the happy couple look very bleak.
He may be one of those men who only considers marriage when he is ready to have children. Maybe he just hasn't been ready for kids and all of the responsibilities that come with family. The timing just wasn't right in his past relationships. Maybe his work was more important. Now that he is getting older he may be ready to start a family and find a wife.
According to him that time isn't at hand yet. Didn't he tell Lisa that he's in no hurry to either have kids or really marry, which prompted her to keep her mouth shut about her neat little schedule? I think Larry is looking for another woman so he can have another nice, dragged out, leading-to-nowhere relationship. Only this time it will drag out for, at most, a couple of months. Certainly very manageable. :laugh
Well, if that were the case, then our little timeline Lisa would be the perfect candidate, but he clearly said he didn't believe in timelines and deadlines, etc.... so, as is the luxury of the male species (as apposed to us 'rotting egg' females) :lol. :mmm .. he can wait until he's old and gray to start fatherhood if this 'sticking thing' with a relationship is a problem!! :nono
I agree with you Randal except that I do know several men who have been in very long term relationships and end up married to someone else 18 months later. I dont know why these guys didnt marry the long term girlfriend. It really makes little sense to me. Based on my totally unscientific , anecdotal research, I'd say he has a 50/50 chance of marrying in the next two years. But probably not to one of the bachelorettes. :mmm
If he wants kids, I'd recommend he get busy. Men really do have their own biological clock issues. Seriously. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/5313874.stm

Netflix CEO Lashes Out at Comcast Over Net Neutrality
When most Comcast subscribers complain, it's a blip. When the CEO of Netflix vents to his 120,000 subscribers on Facebook, it's a salvo. Reed Hastings doesn't agree with Comcast's approach to net neutrality and caps — and he wants everyone to know it.
His beef? Watch Netflix, Hulu or HBO Go on Xbox and it counts against Comcast's broadband cap for consumers. Use Comcast's own Xfinity app and it doesn't. Translation: Anyone worried about hitting the cap will watch what they can on Xfinity, giving it an advantage over the other services like Netflix or even a service it partially owns (but has no say over), Hulu.
From his Facebook Post:
"Comcast no longer following net neutrality principles.
"Comcast should apply caps equally, or not at all.
"I spent the weekend enjoying four good internet video apps on my Xbox: Netflix, HBO GO, Xfinity, and Hulu.
"When I watch video on my Xbox from three of these four apps, it counts against my Comcast internet cap. When I watch through Comcast's Xfinity app, however, it does not count against my Comcast internet cap.
"For example, if I watch last night's SNL episode on my Xbox through the Hulu app, it eats up about one gigabyte of my cap, but if I watch that same episode through the Xfinity Xbox app, it doesn't use up my cap at all.
"The same device, the same IP address, the same wifi, the same internet connection, but totally different cap treatment.
"In what way is this neutral?"
It's not the first time Hastings has turned to Facebook to raise a question about Comcast. Late last month, he lobbied for the nation's largest cable operator to allow access to HBO Go on the Xbox. Then, he raised the cap issue a tad more gently:
"Once I get HBO GO on my Xbox, then it will be strange that streaming Game of Thrones from the HBO GO app on my Xbox will count against my Comcast internet cap, but when I watch those same Game of Thrones streams through the Comcast app on Xbox, over the same wifi connection to my Xbox, then it will not count against my cap. Hmmm…"
No "hmmm" about it this time.
Netflix recently formed Flixpac, its own political action committee. What can it do about net neutrality? My colleague Stacey Higgenbotham explained:
"In conversations with insiders in DC and at Netflix, the video streaming service's agenda has become clear. Get rid of the Video Protection Privacy Act and help push an agenda to keeps content flowing across the web. Issues such as Comcast not counting video streamed via the Xbox against its cap and the Verizon deal to buy spectrum from the cable companies all have implications for Netflix's business model. In the first example it brings up the issues of creating what essentially becomes a private version of the Internet to sling Comcast video on demand content around in a manner that won't penalize the consumer for streaming."
We haven't heard the last from Hastings on this subject. He'll use any and every means to get the point across.

JD Hoe Subframe Part #LVA13818 "NEEDED" Cast Draw Bar Support!
I recently obtained a JD 48 hoe with a sub frame (#LVB25179) for my JD5205, but it has the rear hanger (#LVA11334) for a welded draw bar support and I have the cast draw bar support, guess I needed (#LVB25747). That being said I done my research and found that JD wants just shy of $1400 list for the part (#LVA13818), yet I can buy a new whole goods sub frame for less, figure that one out. This hanger is the same for all 47 48 and 49 hoe sub frames even though the 49 sub frame is slightly different (the hanger bracket is the same for "cast" setups).
My other option is to change to the older welded draw bar support (#RE73039 listed for the 5205, but I'm sure #RE178644 is the same) which is the cheaper option (only slightly) as it appears to be the same bolt on pattern as the cast multi piece setup,....can anyone confirm this???
If any one has either part (#LVA13818 rear hanger for cast draw bar support) or (#RE73039/#RE178644 welded draw bar support) or even an entire whole goods sub frame (#LVB25747) please contact me.
Any insight would be helpful.

JD whole goods have been cheaper than parts price since way back when I worked for a JD dealer back in the 60's- late 80's.

Why do I have long, frequent periods?10/23/2008 |
I have frequent periods(every 15-20 days),and when they last for about 15 days each time, this time,they lasted longer. The bleeding is heavy in the first couple of days, light for the next couple of days, and no bleeding for a day or too, and there`ll be blood again. Not much,but a speck of blood.This time,it lasted much longer than 15 days,which is about how long it normally lasts.
The causes of prolonged and heavy periods are too varied and numerous to discuss all of them here. I am unsure of your complete cycle length. If they occur every 15-20 days and last 15 days does that mean there are 0-5 days of no bleeding or do you have 15 days of bleeding and 15 days without. The first circumstance is too short a cycle and too long a period. The second is too long a period with normal cycle length. Short cycles can come from the failure to ovulate with no regular timing of the cycles. Heavy bleeding commonly occurs because of fibroids. Fibroids are very common benign smooth muscle growths (see FIBROIDS in this section). Your bleeding is definitely abnormal and needs to be addressed.

Wailing Blues - The Story of Bob Marley's WailersThis full-blooded story of The Wailers puts the life, music and death of the legendary Bob Marley into a razor-sharp new perspective. The Wailers played with Marley on all of the hit singles and albums that made him a legend, yet their story since his death is a little-known saga of betrayal, greed and murder that is told here in its entirety for the first time. Written in collaboration with Aston 'Family Man' Barrett and other surviving band members, the book explores Marley's colourful journey from downtown Kingston onto the world stage. It covers the assassination attempt on Marley's life, his exile in London, the kidnapping and decapitation of the Barretts' father, and the death by gunfire of both Peter Tosh and drummer Carlton Barrett. Bitter acrimony followed Marley's own death from cancer as the iconic singer's legacy was parlayed into a multi-million dollar industry. |

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
(the Drucker Exchange) -- That multitasking and workplace interruptions are bad for productivity has been known for decades now. But things seem to be getting worse and worse.
As a recent article in The Wall Street Journal noted, the problem is being exacerbated by a host of factors. "Open-plan offices and an emphasis on collaborative work leave workers with little insulation from colleagues' chatter," the newspaper observed. "A ceaseless tide of meetings and internal emails means that workers increasingly scramble to get their 'real work' done on the margins, early in the morning or late in the evening. And the tempting lure of social-networking streams and status updates make it easy for workers to interrupt themselves."
Fortunately, there is a relatively easy remedy for any employee easily sidetracked: Create blocks of uninterrupted time on your calendar—and stick to them.
At Intel Corp.'s 14,000-person Software and Services group, for example, managers have piloted a program "allowing employees to block out several hours a week for heads-down work," the Journal reported. "During four weekly hours of 'think time'—tracked via group calendar and spreadsheet—workers aren't expected to respond to emails or attend meetings, unless it's urgent, or if they're working on collaborative projects. Already, at least one employee has developed a patent application in those hours, while others have caught up on the work they're unable to get to during frenetic workdays."
Peter Drucker (who, as we've described, was a stickler for focus) would have loved this idea. Indeed, as he explained in The Effective Executive, Drucker felt that "even one quarter of the working day, if consolidated in large time units, is usually enough to get the important things done."
He particularly admired the no-interruptions example of one executive with whom he worked, a man who when meeting with Drucker would shut the door to all interruptions for 90 minutes. When asked about this, the man told Drucker, "My secretary has strict instructions not to put anyone through except the president of the United States and my wife. The president rarely calls—and my wife knows better. Everything else the secretary holds till I have finished. . . . I have yet to come across a crisis which could not wait 90 minutes."
How do you create the blocks of uninterrupted time you need?
