Arthórien was a region in eastern Doriath.
Contents |
[edit] History
Arthórien was located between the rivers Aros and Celon, west of Estolad and south of Himlad.[1][2] Although what appears to be the same region is also called Radhrim,[2] it is unknown if these two regions were the same (or if one was situated within the other).
After Denethor was killed upon Amon Ereb in the First Battle of Beleriand, some of the Green-elves fled to Doriath, apparently seeking the protection of the Girdle of Melian. These elves, who became known as the Guest-elves, settled in Arthórien.[1][3]
[edit] Etymology and names
On a map of Beleriand, the name Garthúrian (could possibly be read as Garthúrien, according to Christopher Tolkien) is marked as another name for Arthórien.[2] The name Garthurian occurs in early linguistic writings, said to be a "Doriathrin name of Doriath", meaning "Fenced or Hidden Realm/Kingdom". In the same manuscript, it is said that Noldorin Arthoren, Arthurien was a translation of Garthurian.[4][5] A somewhat different version is given in a "philological fragment of uncertain date", where it is written that "the Noldor often used the name Arthúrien for Doriath, though this is but an alteration of the Sindarin Garthúrian 'hidden realm'".[2]
Another name used for the region of Arthórien was Eglamar. This usage is noted as a mystery by Christopher Tolkien, as the name usually applies to other concepts (cf. Eglamar (disambiguation)).[3]

I've had this recipe for about 12 years. It came from Taste of Home magazine. I'vemade it for parties and served it with breadsticks or Aromatic Mushroom Galette. Now, I make it for dinner for the kids. They love it. They even eat the pepperoni when they won't eat it on pizza.

Sounds delicious! Again-perfect colors for pepperoni. Beautiful cards!
This sounds wonderful. I'm so glad everyone has been so generous with their fave recipes. This holiday season will be so easy. I love the colors and your circles that draw the eye to the title.
Sounds like a wonderful dipping sauce.Must give it a go.Lovely card
Would my boys love this!!!!! They are pizza freaks. Looks so yummy.
Sounds good! I can eat pepperoni if its not cooked so that this might be something worth trying! It would pair wonderfully with the breastick recipe I posted
This does sound good. I love pepperoni! The colors and the papers are perfect. Great job on the card!
Another pretty card. Love how your colors pair so beautifully with your recipe ingredients.
Your rings look like outlines of pepperoni. Nice. The boys in my family will love this> I'm allergic to oregano and so is my daughter, weird I know, so we'd have to enjoy the dip without it.
This would be a big hit in my house! I love the background paper you used.

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of our friend and colleague, Brian McCauley. Brian was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year, but unfortunately it was too aggressive for treatment to be effective. He passed away at the QEII Hospital, Birmingham, with his wife Sam and his family by his side, on Friday 8th May 2015.
Brian has been an integral part of Birmingham Perl Mongers, since JJ and I met him and Sam in Paris, flying home from the YAPC::Europe conference in 2002. He was a co-organiser of YAPC::Europe 2006 here in Birmingham, as well working behind the scenes for the QA Hackathon in 2009. He has been a director and more recently secretary of Birmingham Perl Mongers Limited. On CPAN he was NOBULL, and he and Sam attended every YAPC::Europe since Paris, and YAPC::NA 2008 in Chicago. He was previously a frequent poster to Usenet, Perl Monks and other Perl forums, so you may well have met him, talked with him, used his code or read his words in that time.
Brian also loved games, especially Fluxx. It would not be uncommon for both Brian and Sam, together with Geoff Avery, to instigate playing various variations of Fluxx at YAPC social evenings, sometimes well into the night.
Brian was not religious and would be uncomfortable to have prayers said of him. If you knew him you are welcome to join Birmingham Perl Mongers on Wednesday 13th May to raise a toast and say a fond farewell to our friend and colleague Brian McCauley. We'll be at The Dragon Inn on Hurst Street from 7pm.
Brian, you will be missed.
Brian McCauley

This month's technical meeting is, as per usual, at The Birmingham Science Park, Aston on 29th October 2014. The talks start at 7.30pm, so please make sure you are there in plenty of time. Free car parking is available at the venue, and bus stops are nearby too.
This month we are delighted to have Mel Marsh presenting her experiences of Agile development and Scrum from the perspective of a Scrum Master. Other talks include a look at CPAN and CPAN Testers.
Early arrivals can meet us at The Sack of Potatoes just around the corner from around 6pm.
Apologies for the late notice, but the date of the October Technical Meeting has been changed to the 29th October. All being well we'll have the same speakers and talks lined up for you.
This Wednesday, 10th September, Birmingham Perl Mongers will be celebrating their 14th birthday. We'll be heading to our regular haunt, The Dragon Inn on Hurst Street, and will be there from about 6.30pm onwards. Feel free to join us, and raise a glass tomany more years. For directions, please see our social meeting page.
Due to the rooms being booked for our normal days for the next two technical meetings, we have had to shift both by a week. Our next technical (normally September) will be on 1st October 2014. Our normal November meeting will be on 3rd December 2014.
Both events will be at the The Birminham Science Park, Aston, at Faraday Wharf near Aston University. Once again we are very grateful to have both events sponsored by Majestic 12.
If you would like to give a presentation at one of these meetings, or a meeting next year, please get in touch (barbie at cpan.org), as we have slots available for long or short talks.
The May Technical Meeting will be slightly off topic for Perl, as we have two presentations discussing more generic points about how we put tools together, manage them, and present the techniques to the wider world.
Steve Pitchford will be returning to the rostrum after a too long absence, with Alan Stanger finally presenting a prepared presentation, after only 8 years attending our meetings. We may have a short Perl specific talk, but as both the presentations by Steve and Alan are longish, this may be deferred to next time.
As always, all are welcome, and it's all free. Just turn up. Once again may thanks to Majestic 12 for sponsoring the event.
UPDATE: Unfortunately Alan's talk has had to be delayed until our July meeting, but we hope to have a second talk to support Steve on Wednesday.
This Wednesday, 22nd January 2014 will our first technical meeting of the year. We very fortunate to have a full schedule of speakers and talks, so please feel free to come along and here some diverse topics about Perl and related technologies.
On the schedule are:
The talks will start just after 7.30pm at Faraday Wharf, the Science Park, Aston. Although if you fancy a quick drink beforehand, some of us will be in the Sack O' Potatoes from about 6pm.
It is with great delight, that we announce our new corporate sponsors, Majestic-12. Majestic-12 have long been supporters of Birmingham, with Alex and Steve from the company coming along and presenting technical talks to us. This year they will be sponsoring all our technical meetings. Our next meeting is on Wednesday January 22nd, we have a great line-up to start the year off.
Majestic-12 Ltd specialises in internet search technology, and have been pioneering in developing their distributed search network. Their MajesticSEO portal is for marketeers and entrepreneurs alike, and builds on their estanlished knowledge of the world wide web providing wealth of experience the worlds largest internet link map.
Many thanks to Majestic-12 for the past, current and future support.
In preparation for the London Perl Workshop, this month we have a couple of talks that may or may not get submitted. The October Technical Meeting will once again be at The Birmingham Aston Science Park, on Wednesday 23rd October 2013.
The first talk is by JJ, who will be explaining a project he and Colin have been working on. Expect more details about the talk and project before Wednesday. Our second talk is 'The Future of CPAN Testers' by Barbie. The talk will be a glimpse at some of the forthcoming projects to help authors, testers and users get the most out of the CPAN Testers project.
We still have space for another short talk, if anyone would like to present something. Please get in touch with a title and short abstract about the talk (a simple short sentence is fine), and I'll add you to the line-up.
Hope to see you there on Wednesday.
UPDATE: JJ's talk is 'Managing Multiple Git Repositories'
The next two technicsl meetings are lined up. As per usual we'll be at the Aston Science Park, Birmingham for both events, meeting at The Sack O' Potatoes beforehand for food and drinks.
The September neeting, on Wed 25th Sept, discusses Perl Golf and PSGI/Plack, while the October meeting, on 23rd Oct, will feature a talk from JJ, title still to be announced. If anyone would like to talk at either of these meetings, pleaselet me know. Whether the talk is short, medium or long, we'll be delight hear it. Contact barbie [at] cpan.org for more details.

Learning anatomy is a formidable challenge for students in the health sciences. It is one of the first subjects tackled by all types of health care professionals during their training; anatomical knowledge is required for distinguishing healthy and diseased states, as well as for designing and administering treatments. But the difficult task of gaining a detailed knowledge of the body's gross and fine structures now can be aided by use of the computer, thanks to the efforts of a group of UW researchers.
The Digital Anatomist Program at the UW is concerned with the representation of anatomical knowledge in a computerized format. Two- and three-dimensional computer graphics images developed in the program provide a new window on either individual organs or groups of anatomical features. These "smart" atlases may aid students in gaining a three-dimensional, dynamic understanding of the body by permitting them to dissect tissues on the screen, put the structures together again, and pose questions.
The Interactive Atlas of Thoracic Viscera, for example, presents computer-generated, animated 3-D reconstructions of organs in the thoracic region (chest), along with a variety of 2-D information, including images of reconstructions, anatomical sections, and medical images such as x-ray or computerized axial tomography scans ("CT" or "CAT" scans). The atlas was developed by Cornelius Rosse, UW professor of biological structure, and David Conley, UW research scientist, based upon cryosections (frozen thin sections) of an actual cadaver prepared by Wolfgang Rauschning of Uppsala University, Sweden. Software development for the project was carried out by James F. Brinkley, Krag Eno, and Jeffrey Prothero.
"The presentation of the anatomical data in the reconstructions is unique," say the researchers, "in that it displays spatial interrelationships between organs in ways that are not possible to achieve by dissection or by current imaging technology." Collaborating with Rosse and Conley were radiology professors Thurman Gillespy III and J. David Godwin, as well as John R. Bolles of the UW Health Sciences Center for Educational Resources.
The Digital Anatomist methods are being developed with education as the primary target, but these same tools are finding applications in the clinical setting as well. For example, research is also in progress to refine radiation treatment plans using the tools. In another application, project investigators are collaborating with UW neurological surgery professor Ojemann and colleagues in developing an information system for mapping language areas of the brain (see Brain Mapping).
Nearly 1,000 copies of Digital Anatomist atlases on videodisc and CD-ROM of three different regions of the body have been distributed by the program as of March 1996. In addition, the program has been a pioneer in distance learning by providing online access to its image databases. As many as 25,000 users per day access the Digital Anatomist from over 70 countries via the World Wide Web.
In 1995, based on a survey of some 240,000 programs on the World Wide Web, Point Survey, New York rated the Digital Anatomist among the top 5% of the "most exciting home pages." And in January 1996, the program received the Multimedia Medical Reference Library's Exceptional Resource Award.

I have a multi-project solution in VS 2010, on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
I want to profile the performance of some of the .NET 4 web applications.
I start the main project in the debugger (not attached to the web apps I want to profile).
I open ANTS 6, and choose "attach to .net 4 process". I can see the processes (though "title" is empty). I identify the processes by ID (in the "attach to process" window from VS where the title IS shown - without attaching to them), and then come back to ANTS and choose one of the processes to attach to.
The profiler just says "waiting" in the status bar and never profiles anything.
I have searched everywhere in the redgate website - no instructions, no KB articles, no posts here.
Can someone please help me? What am I doing wrong? Is what I'm trying to do even possible? Are there instructions for this somewhere? Is there a list of settings somewhere I should be looking at?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

- - Bitless bridle -- good or bad?
Bitless bridle -- good or bad? Hi everyone! So I had this in another thread (under tack & equipment), but thought I would try it here as well and see what answers/experiences I get! I've been thinking about trying the Dr. Cook's Bitless Bridle and asking around about it. But no one I know uses one...as some of you already know, I have a new horse (just got her 9 weeks ago), a 7-yr old green broke buckskin Paint mare. She's VERY sweet and laid back, but lately she's taken to spooking at random things (all visual, loud noises don't bother her at all)...and she'll bolt when she does it! She even threw me off one day -- she's got me so scared/nervous that now when I ride her my heart races and I know that just makes her more nervous and spooky!! I read on Dr Cook's site that the bitless bridle can help with spooking, since bits cause a certain amount of discomfort/pain for some horses, which just freaks the horse out more. But of course the skeptic in me is just thinking " yeah well he could have just made that up to sell product, how can he prove that really?" I'd like to give it a try, she chomps on the bit constantly and all I have in her mouth is an eggbutt snaffle, and I'm very soft in my hands as well. But it's almost like she's so preoccupied with the bit that she stops paying attention to me sometimes. I want to try the bitless but am scared that if she decides to spook/bolt she's going to run like mad and I won't have any control without the bit in her mouth...has anyone had a spooky horse who was helped by a bitless?? |
I would try one, but I wouldn't count on it to stop her from spooking but thats just me. You'll be able to control her from what I know. It's not like riding in a halter, but puts pressure on certain parts of the horse to give the commands so you will have to retrain her at first since it is different from a snaffle. |
13 Attachment(s) Before you try it, maybe try riding her in a halter with reins first, or rope? Even though a bitless is not like that. I don't think a bitless bridle would make her stop spooking at those things; I think she needs help getting used to those things that are making her spook. ;) Do you have a trainer that can help you? |
I ride my mare in one and LOVE it. If the issue is her spooking, I doubt the bridle will really affect this. That's more of a confidence issue. I am always in favor of riding bitless as I don't know why it's been put in everyone's head that you have to have a piece of metal in your horse's mouth to ride it. I think if you can't ride your horse bitless than you shouldn't ride at all (just my opinion and there are some cercumstances where this does not apply). Dr. Cook has a 30 day trial period so get one and if you don't like it send it back. |
Maybe have someone on the ground lounge her and ride her in the bitless bride. In case she spooks, you wont have to worry about control. :D |
It depends on the horse. Some do well in them and some don't. There are also cheaper bit-less options that I feel actually provide better control and these includ the bosal (need to know how to use it) or little S hackmore. |
I really feel that bitless bridles are where people with bad hands are hiding. If you can't ride your horse in the bit, then there is a problem and it's probably not the horse's. |
I ride with a side pull forr that reason, but my hands are not there yet but are getting better in fact the last several ride I have had were with a snaffle bit and the horse was fine, three out of the four were. The fourth was a little nervous after I got off. I ride with a side pull becuase of my heavy hands and I am working on it. |
But I think you're right for some people, some are just heavy handed and their horses would probably be fine with a bit and a lighter handed rider. I believe it's just all on a case by case basis. I just wanted to get some ouside additional opinions about those who have tried the bitless...have you ever given it a try? What was your experience with it? |
Horse's aren't born accepting a piece of metal lying on their gums. I think what some people forget and misunderstand is that you have to TEACH them to accept it. And if they are chomping on it, then you can switch bits/figure out a reason why--getting rid of the bit altogether seems like avoiding the problem, now doesn't it? I have, however, ridden in rope hackamores because I think they show you where your horse needs more work. In competent hands, bitless bridles and hackmores are great training tools to see where the 'holes' are in your training. But when it comes to precise aids, I think the bitless bridle falls quite flat. |

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook.
Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Among the manifold pleasures of Mad Men's mid-season finale, before Robert Morse tra-la-la'ed himself off to the great ad agency in the sky, was the sight of Don Draper castigating daughter Sally for carping about the expense of the Apollo program, this in the moments after Neil Armstrong took his giant leap for mankind. "Don't be so cynical," he said.
It's an injunction that comes to mind whenever I hear progressive types talk about the Olympics, and in particular the efforts cities make to acquire the hosting rights. Among the intellectual classes, Olympic bids are spoken of with horror, the presumption being that a winning bid would be accompanied by a nightmare scenario of massive overspending, ill-conceived development, years of inconvenience during the preparation, and weeks of disorganized mayhem during the festivities. Given Olympic history, these concerns are entirely valid.
And yet I welcome the Dallas bid for the 2024 games. There is a reasonable argument to be made that an Olympics would be a boon to this city, an opportunity to move forward with transportation and development projects (especially housing) that would be difficult to achieve absent some outside force pushing things along.
But I'm not rooting for our bid because it could—if managed properly, which is a big if—leave us with some new urban toys. I want them here because I am a sucker for the Olympics, as corrupt and flawed and silly as they are.
Think about what makes a city an appealing place. Lots of ambitious people of divergent backgrounds coming together and somehow pushing themselves to achieve. The Olympics are that in microcosm. Like Don said, don't be so cynical.
Are they expensive? Yes, they are expensive. But parties are expensive. They make life worth living, and give us something to dine out on for the rest of our days. And in this town, lousy as it is with billionaire entrepreneurs, there are surely a couple who could figure out a way to turn a profit on having the whole world on our doorstep.
Molly Ivins dubbed this place "Boosterville," and with good reason. One need look no further than Fair Park, the would-be centerpiece of a Dallas Olympics, for evidence of the city carrying off a grand event it was probably not qualified to host, and doing so with flair. We got that one by lining the right pockets, which is how the Olympics have traditionally operated. While bribery is no longer an acceptable modus operandi, we certainly know how to be hospitable. The claim in the New York TImes that "the romance of Dallas may be a tough sell to [the] I.O.C.," is bunk. Don't underestimate the hold of the frontier on the world's imagination. Everyone wants to be John Wayne, at least a little.
So yeah, I say we go for it, and nevermind the naysayers picking at the details, warning that we've got no place to stick the 1000 Meter Canoe Sprint. That's small thinking, and Dallas is a big thinking town. For those who can't abide the thought, I'm guessing there'll be a killing to be made on Airbnb. Profiting on real estate and getting out of town in the summer? There's nothing more Dallas than that.

On March 13, the US Patent & Trademark Office published two of Apple's patent applications pertaining to Cover Flow being used on an iPod classic and iPhone. The patent illustrates Apple's calendar, address book, iPhoto and other applications being accessed on an iPod-like device in varying ways. Some methods include Apple's touch screen technology on a classic iPod as well as using both a click wheel and/or touch pad. One of the 3D effects presented in the patent is rather cool. In light of the Microsoft patent that I presented yesterday, the timing of Apple's updated Cover Flow patent for portables is more interesting than ever.
Cover Flow Coming to iPod Classic
Apple's patent figures 1 and 2 illustrated below (click to enlarge) clearly demonstrate that Coverflow will be coming to the Classic iPod with or without a click wheel.
iPhone Applications
Apple's patent FIGS. 12A and 12B illustrated below, shows an image based browser 140 when the portable electronic device is in a phone or communication mode. As shown, the images 142 of the image based browser 140 are pictures that represent individuals whose contact information is stored in an address book. The user is thus able traverse through pictures rather than lists to find the desired individual who they wish to contact. If the user doesn't have a picture for the individual then they can assign some other image to the individual. Alternatively or additionally, text may be included in the image. For example, the text may be the individual's name. In one embodiment, when the user selects the image 142 at the primary position, then contact information 144 associated with the image 142 is opened. The contact information 144 may be associated with a new window, or alternatively it may be presented at the primary position as shown in FIG. 12B. The contact information 144 may include selectable data such as email and/or various phone numbers 146. The data may also include text messaging. When email is selected then a mail window is opened with the email address already entered. When a phone number is selected, then the portable electronic device initiates a call to that number. As should be appreciated, each individual may have a plurality of email addresses and phone numbers. Alternatively or additionally, when the user selects the image 142 at the primary position, a default phone number associated with the image may be used to immediately initiate a phone call. The default may depend on mode. For example, if in email mode then default can be email; if phone is opened then default can be phone.
Apple's patent FIG. 13 shows an image based browser 150 associated with applications. As shown, the images 152 are icons that represent applications that can be launched on the electronic device. The user is thus able traverse through icons rather than lists to find the desired application they wish to open. In one embodiment, when the user selects the icon 152 at the primary position, the application is launched. By way of example, the application may be a photo management program, a music management program, a video management program, word processing program, spreadsheet program, drawing program, and the like.
Apple's patent FIG. 15 shows an image based browser 170 associated with a photo viewing application. As shown, the images 172 are photos that are managed by a photo management application. The photos 172 may be photos that have been downloaded to a portable electronic device and/or photos that have been taken with the portable electronic device. When selected, the photo 172 may be presented in a full view within the display rather than a small thumbnail.
Apple's patent FIGS. 14A-14D below show an image based browser 160 associated with a date book or calendar. In this embodiment, the image based browser 160 includes hierarchal browsers 161, 162, 163 and 164. FIG. 14A shows the first of the hierarchal browsers 161. In this first browser 161, the images 165 are associated with months of the year. The images 165 may include picture relating to the months and/or text that identifies the months. For example, the image for February may include a red heart representing Valentine's Day and a "February" identifier. Alternatively or additionally, pictures of people whose birthdays are in each month may be displayed. A single picture may be assigned or alternatively the multiple pictures of people with birthdays in the month may be sequentially displayed (cycled through). This data may be pulled from an address book that includes birthdays and pictures.
As shown in FIG. 14B, when the user selects a particular month, the second of the hierarchal browsers 162 is opened. In the second browser 162, the images 166 are associated with days of the month. The images 166 may include picture relating to the days and/or text that identifies the days. For example, a red heart representing Valentine's Day and a "February" identifier may be used for the 14.sup.th of February. Alternatively or additionally, pictures of people whose birthdays are on a particular day may be displayed. As shown in FIG. 14C, when the user selects a particular day, the third of the hierarchal browsers 163 is opened. In the third browser 163, the images 167 are associated with hours in the day. As shown in FIG. 14D, when the user selects a particular hour, a data entry window 164 is opened that allows the user to enter text associated with the selected hour/day/month. For example, the window 164 may include one or more data entry boxes 168. The user can therefore schedule events. Once entered, the data is retained for future processing.
Apple's patent FIGS 19A-19C shown below illustrate an electronic device with a touch screen display. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19A, a substantially horizontal swipe 214 across the touch screen display or a substantially horizontal slide 214 along the surface of the touch screen display creates the navigational input. In one implementation of this embodiment, the substantially horizontal swipe/slide 214 can be made anywhere within the touch sensing area of the touch screen. In another implementation of this embodiment, the substantially horizontal swipe/slide 214 has to be made in a particular area of the touch sensing area of the touch screen as for example, in the area below an image based browser 212 or alternatively over the images of the image based browser 212.
FIGS. 19D and 19E illustrate a portable electronic device with a touch pad. FIG. 19D includes a circular touch pad while FIG. 19E includes square or rectangular touch pad. In one embodiment, a substantially horizontal swipe/slide 214 across the touch pad creates the navigational input (or vertical). In another embodiment, an arc or rotational slide 216 about the touch pad creates the navigational input.
FIG. 19F illustrates a portable electronic device with a touch sensitive housing. The touch sensitive housing is located in the bezel region that surrounds the edges of the display. As such, the bezel region may include a horizontal and vertical sensing component below or on the sides of the display. In the illustrated embodiment, a substantially horizontal swipe/slide 214 on the lower bezel underneath the image based browser 212 creates the navigational input 210. In addition, in cases where the housing is more of an extended surface rather than an edge, navigation inputs 210 can be created similarly to that described in context of the touch screen and touch pads shown in FIGS. 19A-19E.
FIGS. 19G and 19H illustrate a portable electronic device with a touch screen. In this embodiment, the display is configured to display virtual navigation elements or user interface elements including for example a virtual touch region similar to FIG. 19D or 19E (as shown in FIG. 19G) and/or a virtual mechanism such as a dial or slider or scroll bar (as shown in FIG. 19H). In one embodiment, a substantially horizontal swipe/slide 214 across the virtual mechanism creates the navigational input. In another embodiment, an arc or rotational slide 216 about the virtual mechanism creates the navigational input.
Touch Screen Flipping
Apple's patent FIGS. 26A to 26E illustrate a flipping sequence for use in the embodiment mentioned above. As shown in FIG. 26A, the user places their finger over the image to be flipped (e.g., primary image). As shown in 26B-26D, the user slides their finger in a vertical direction. The slide can be either up or down.
As shown in FIG. 26B, the edge of the image at the beginning of the slide follows the finger as it moves vertically. In this case, the finger is slid downward and thus the top edge of the element follows the finger. Furthermore, a first portion of the element above a horizontal axis is configured to enlarge while a second portion of the element below the horizontal axis configured to shrink. In addition, the element is configured to be skewed during motion to make it appears as if the first portion is being brought to the foreground and the second portion is being moved to the background. For example, the top edge of the first portion is skewed horizontally outward from the horizontal axis while the bottom edge of the bottom portion is skewed horizontally inward from the horizontal axis.
As shown in FIG. 26C, this effect continues until the top and bottom edges of the image are aligned with the horizontal axis. The image either disappears or a small line segment is displayed.

- - Walk to Canter
Walk to Canter Hi! My horse is having trouble (sometimes) on walk to canter transitions, i tried spurs and they helped ALOT...but she dosnt do the transition every time!!! She dosnt like crops (Spooks, bucks, ETC) so i cant use one... Any ideas??? Thanks!! |
Crops and spurs are only temporary fixes for this and i dont really recomend it if its something youll have to use every time. The spurs are working because its emphasizing your leg, which is good, because its encouraging that asking. But you wont want to rly on them my tip- over emphasize the bend...a lot. Like as soon as youre moving in that walk and you get in a corner, ask ask ask. put youre outside leg back even further than you would normally and really ask her. Be very sure that your aids are the same each and every time and are consitent. You need to tune your horse to you very specifically. That fine tuning is what makes for impeccable equitation and most certainly takes A LOT of practice. Reward her verbally strongly each time she really picks it up nicely. Try to collect the walk as much as possible to get that impulsion going forward and readily. Think of a dressage collected walk =P lol. make sure you have her 100% focus when you ask too. i hope that helps a little bit. i think these are some very basic tips. maybe if you happen to have video? thatd be even more helpful we can pick out what might be the problem. |
I do not have video-SORRY!!!!!! I think your advice will help alot!! *VanillaBean* |
I don't really know much about direct transitions, but a while back when I was working on them, my instructor made me do lots of figure-eights with simple changes - a true simple change involves a single stride of walk, not trot, so you have both upwards and downwards direct transitions. |
depending on your horse, some are more sensitive to cues than others. Some are taught the cue to canter differently where as others are dead sided from use of spurs or too much leg (my horse got like that for a while). I am not certain which way is the "politically correct" way to ask for a canter, but here are different ways that I've seen horse's go into the canter: 1) Bringing your outside leg (the one by the fence/arena wall) back further 2) Leaning back and giving a tiny squeeze with your leg 3) Leaning forward and giving lots of rein 4) A mixture of any/all of the above My horse knows #1 and #2, but he responds better to #2 because that was the way he was origianlly trained, and since I ride bareback, and neckrein him I find it easier for him to respond to #2 more-so than #1 |
PS I go bareback too!!!! |
I've always been taught that the correct way for someone who is not a super experienced rider on a very educated horse to ask for canter is: - slide outside leg back - bring inside leg onto girth - sit if trotting - squeeze/kick However, old school horses respond to sitting trot + kick, or a really hard or repeated kick from walk. The leg signals cue the horse as to which lead they need to take up, though obviously it's best to ask for canter while in a circle or turn to make it easier for them to pick up the inside lead. I ride English, of course, but I was getting told off for letting my reins go slack in canter transitions. If you're riding English you should maintain an even contact throughout any transition. |
I do not feel kicking a horse is good to get a horse to go faster. It will just make them hard sided and they won't listen to your leg cues at all. |
Well, a kick is necessary on an old lesson horse! |
a kick is never necessary |

Happy new year for TCU's Henry
LA QUINTA – It's been a happy new year for J.J. Henry since the first day of the calendar year, when he watched from the sideline as his beloved TCU Horned Frogs capped a perfect season with a 21-19 victory over Big Ten champion Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl.
And Wednesday he got his golf year off to an equally satisfying start, holing a pitching wedge from the fairway for an eagle on his first hole of the Bob Hope Classic en route to an 8-under 64 on the Nicklaus Private Course at PGA West.
It was Henry's best career round in seven years of competing at the Hope, temporarily moving him to the top of the leaderboard in the 90-hole, celebrity pro-am contested on four desert courses. As he predicted, the lead didn't hold up all day, as Derek Lamely later shot a 9-under 63 on the Palmer Course at PGA West. Even so, Henry was ecstatic with his play.
"It couldn't be a better start to the year," Henry said, "and hopefully my best golf is still ahead of me."
Henry, a 1998 TCU grad and Fort Worth resident, laughed when I asked him if his stellar opening round was a euphoric carry-over from watching the Frogs record the biggest victory in school history on New Year's Day.
"Yeah, it was," he said, smiling, adding he can't wait to collect on his friendly wager with PGA Tour colleague Jerry Kelly, a Madison, Wis., native and resident.
Instead of making a traditional monetary wager or betting dinner on the outcome of the game, Henry said he sent a text-message to Kelly two days before the Rose Bowl with a more exotic proposal, putting embarrassment on the line. "I said, 'All right, here's the deal,'" Henry said, repeating his text message
If TCU won the game, Kelly would have to wear TCU's "Super Frog" mascot costume during a practice round at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth this May. If Wisconsin won the game, Henry would have to wear Wisconsin's "Bucky the Badger" mascot costume during a Tuesday or Wednesday tune-up at his hometown event.
"I had a lot more on the line, because we (PGA Tour pros) don't play up in Milwaukee and I actually would have had to put on Bucky the Badger in Fort Worth," Henry said. "So I'm glad it worked out the way it did. But it was just a little fun publicity for the two schools. As you guys (in the media) know, we're all kind of one big traveling fraternity out here (on tour), and it's fun to give each other a little grief or whatnot."
Henry says he isn't going to let Kelly out of the bet, but he might change the terms.
"Obviously, you can't really play golf in that thing (full costume)," Henry said. "So, who knows, maybe we'll do the junior clinic or something on Tuesday, and the kids will get a kick out of it and we'll take some fun pictures with Jerry and have a good time with it."
Henry said he hasn't run into Kelly yet – Kelly shot a 5-under 67 at La Quinta Country Club in Wednesday's first round – but plans to remind him this week about the Rose Bowl and their wager.
"Jerry was great about it," Henry said. "As soon as the game was over, he sent me a text and said . . . he'd be happy or honored to wear (the costume)."
Well, things could have worse for Kelly. At least TCU's nickname isn't the Banana Slugs (UC Santa Cruz) or Boll Weevils (Arkansas-Monticello) or Fighting Artichokes (Scottsdale Community College).
Only at the Hope: One of the amateurs playing in tour pro Chris DiMarco's group Wednesday showed up on the first teebox (No. 10 on Nicklaus Private) without any golf balls in his bag. A tour official had to be summoned to make certain it was OK to borrow balls from his playing partners. (It was.)
You pay $12,000 to tee it up and forget to bring ammunition? Amazing.
Rams reunion: Former Rams great Eric Dickerson, a 5 handicap playing in his first Hope, was teamed with fellow NFL Hall of Famer Marcus Allen and tour pro Ricky Barnes on Wednesday. They finished with a net score of 16-under at SilverRock Resort, among the best in the celebrity flight. Dickerson's caddie was former Rams teammate LeRoy Irvin.
Small bucket: Paul Goydos of Coto de Caza shot a 4-under 68 at La Quinta Country Club and is tied for 35th after the first round at the Hope. . . Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson head the field of players who have committed to play in next week's Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. . . Randy Chang, PGA director of instruction at Talega Golf Club in San Clemente, was named Teacher of the Year for 2010 by the Southern California PGA section. Erik Horve of Tustin Ranch Golf Club was honored as Clubfitter of the Year. ... If German Martin Kaymer wins this week's Abu Dhabi Championship in the United Arab Emirates, he'll pass Woods and grab the No. 2 world ranking, just behind Lee Westwood.
Parting shot: From Boo Weekley, on why he put a new putter in his bag before shooting a 7-under 65 in Wednesday's opening round at the Palmer Private Course: "After last week (at the Sony Open of Hawaii), my putting was so bad, I needed a change. ... The last 36 holes I felt like I was holding a rattlesnake. I was afraid to even take it back."
Been there, felt that.

As musical director and harpsichordist of the Baroque ensemble Charivari Agréable, Kah-Ming Ng has toured all over the world, playing regularly for statesmen and royalty. He has played for pop royalty, too – Duran Duran booked him twice to play at their private parties. "It was surreal, actually, but fun. I wanted to take a Spandau Ballet CD for them to sign," he says, "but I didn't."
Kah-Ming was born and raised in Petaling Jaya, then a small satellite town in Kuala Lumpur's commuter belt. But it wasn't music where Kah-Ming first saw his future, but rather civil engineering, which he studied at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
After he graduated, Kah-Ming was employed by an engineering firm in Kuala Lumpur that designed improved drainage methods. Finding the work uninspiring, Kah-Ming founded a choir in his spare time and started to organise concerts around the city. He caught the attention of the funding bodies that would later provide his music scholarships – first to Germany, and then to the UK.
"The move to Germany was horrendous," says Kah-Ming. "I thought I was feeling feverish because there had been endless rounds of farewell dinners and recitals, but on the plane over Karachi, my chicken pox erupted."
Officials allowed Kah-Ming to remain in the country, but only on the condition that he stayed in his room for the duration of the virus. "It was then that I really experienced homesickness – from being a big fish in a small pond and then being put into what was like solitary confinement. It was tough."
Kah-Ming lived in Freiburg, south-west Germany, where he enrolled in a six-month language course. "The climate was completely different, but that didn't really bother me," he says. "The winters were freezing so I stayed in a lot and cooked Malaysian curries for my housemates. I actually got quite well-known for them."
After the course ended, Kah-Ming began studying Baroque composition at the Musikhochschule in Frankfurt as the DAAD scholar. He admits that as a Malaysian in Germany he was often an object of curiosity: "Though there were Chinese and Japanese, I don't think many of my friends had seen a Malaysian person before so they would come up and ask questions. We were certainly a rare breed."
In 1991 he embarked on a second scholarship to the Guildhall in London, a less turbulent move than the one to Germany. "The Guildhall had this amazing flat for scholars above Spitalfields Market in east London. It was a brilliant place and I loved the life – and the curries – on Brick Lane."
A year later, Kah-Ming moved to Oxford to read for an MPhil at St Anne's College and a DPhil at Keble College. "It was a great time because I had my foot in the professional world by then, so I was able to mix a bit of college with the outside life."
It was at Oxford that Kah-Ming founded Charivari Agréable, with whom he reached the finals of the Early Music Network competition in 1993. Now on their 22nd CD, Kah-Ming says that the ensemble has prospered in the difficult economic times because they have carved their own niche. "In modern [classical] music, all the same repertory – Brahms and the Beethoven cycles – have been recorded to death and no labels are paying for any of them any more. But with period instruments there is still growth, and we are one of the very few groups doing source research, meaning we do the digging and unearth music that has not been seen or recorded before."
Kah-Ming has lived in his 1920s house in Headington since 2003. "It is one of the most desirable addresses in Oxford," he says, "but people don't know about it. It's very close to the ring road but it is protected by the Shotover Conservation Area."
Today Kah-Ming finds himself back in Malaysia two or three times a year for family commitments and to play at various functions, some of them for the Malaysian royal family. "I was elevated to the aristocracy several years ago," he says. "So I am now the same rank as two other well-known expatriate Malaysians: Jimmy Choo [the shoe designer] and Michelle Yeoh, the Bond girl."
Buying guide
●It is an especially picturesque city
●Oxford is convenient for getting to and from London
●The classical music scene is very strong
●It's hard to get some of the food and fruits from Malaysia
●Though transport to London is good, the Airport Express coach journey to Heathrow and Gatwick is usurious
●Low-lying Oxford is a veritable pollen trap – irritating for hay fever sufferers
What you can buy for ...
£100,000 A very small studio, perhaps slightly scruffy, on the outskirts of town
£1m A four to six-bedroom period house in central Headington

Lewis and Clark in Missouri
About the Commission
The Missouri Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Commission was charged with the mission to "Rekindle the spirit of discovery, achievement and wonder fostered by the original exploration." Pursuant to this task, the commission developed and coordinated an effective means for the State of Missouri to observe bicentennial commemoration of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery. The Commission promoted the public awareness of the historical significance of the expedition related to the Missouri Territory. In addition, the bicentennial commission was a catalyst for accomplishing Missouri's Lewis and Clark Bicentennial capital improvement projects, programs and special events. The bicentennial projects and events were comprised of public (state, federal and local), private, and foundation projects.The executive director of the commission also served as liaison between the other 14 states participating in the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial. The commission served as a statewide umbrella for bringing together Missouri's communities, the National Park Service and other federal agencies as well as private groups planning projects and events. The commission reported (formally) to the Governor in October of each year.
The commission was authorized by Executive Order 98-06. Executive Order 03-01 added three more agencies to the commission. The bi-partisan members, appointed by the Governor, served a single term that expired at the conclusion of the commemoration in fall of 2006.

Digital globalization may sound like a fairly obvious process to content leaders and owners who may therefore define it in a too narrow fashion, i.e. pushing content out to the world. Like for other business processes they should mind the gap between quick assumptions and fast execution. Digital globalization entails the deployment of content across multiple markets and a multitude of steps. So it must be managed holistically and precisely to be truly efficient.

Apr 26, 2012
In the past month, online brand marketing has become the subject of a lively debate in the marketing trades, specifically AdExchanger and Advertising Age. Impatient with the slow growth of brand advertising online as well as the persistent absence of a validated method for measuring return on social media marketing investments, marketing services experts are openly questioning the viability of online media as a brand marketing channel.
Most online marketing professionals have heard these arguments before, but this recent incarnation began with an article in Advertising Age reporting the findings of a study from the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute which found that only 1% of brand fans on Facebook actually engage with brands. Two weeks later, the New York City-based venture capitalist Jerry Neumann wrote a piece in AdExchanger in which he strongly suggested that online media doesn't work for brand advertising. The problem with both of these polemics is that they both rely on faulty assumptions about the way that users actually consume online media.
Brand fans actually comprise a tiny minority of Facebook users and, as the research from the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute revealed, they tend to already be heavy buyers of the brands. Due to this fact, one occasionally hears marketing experts argue that marketing on Facebook only reaches people who are already your customers and thus is not effective for growing brands. However, Facebook is not simply a network of static web pages but rather a networking platform that enables a broad array of dynamic interactions between individual profiles and pages. When a user becomes a brand fan or interacts in any way with a brand whatsoever, that action is broadcast across his/her entire social network on Facebook, presumably many of whom are not currently customers of the brand.
Still, social media marketing detractors will argue that only 1% of brand fans actually interact in any way with the brand. However, as Andrew Lipsman from comScore points out, 1% is more than sufficient to generate broad reach among prospective customers. It turns out that brand marketing on Facebook, and arguably social media marketing in general, is actually a digital iteration of word-of-mouth marketing whereby heavy buyers or "brand loyalists" are activated via engaging, creative content and programming to become advocates for the brand among prospective customers.
Almost a third (31%) of display ad impressions on websites are never seen by anyone, as a recent study from comScore revealed. This fact, coupled with the very limited choices in ad formats on most web sites that have persisted over the almost 20 years since online media began, has led some to believe that online media is not suitable for brand advertising. However these experts are ignoring the revolution currently taking place in the way people consume online media.
The old practice of flipping through web pages is rapidly ceding its prominent position to streaming audio and video, mobile content, and social media. The following are just a few data points which evidence this major transition:
What all this means is that, while we may have exhausted the potential of the banner ad to grow brands online, we have only just scratched the surface when it comes to the full potential of online media as a brand marketing channel. Online media is currently morphing into a virtual world of streaming vibrant content that people can consume anywhere at any time, share with friends, discuss with others and even consume with others simultaneously from separate locations. The branding potential of online media is becoming exponentially vaster because these dynamic, social experiences have the ability to create powerful brand associations, strong brand memory structures and reach broad audiences in ways that never existed for broadcast TV. The present and pressing task is for publishers and network providers to work with advertisers and their agencies to develop these opportunities.
However, given the nature of the latest iteration of online media, fully capitalizing on the branding opportunities will require a clever combination of earned, owned and paid strategies. Facebook is already working to facilitate these kinds of integrated strategies through its new tools "Timeline", "Reach Generator" and "Premium Ads". Moreover, leading global brand marketers like Coca-Cola, Ford and Procter & Gamble are already capitalizing on the myriad of ways to harness online media to build brands.

Interactionist Theory
Interactionist Theory
Symbolic interaction is a central element of this theory, and highlights the importance of spoken and written language, expression by tone and body posture, and visual images, among other things.
Another of the central elements of interactionist theory is the process by which one constructs reality, a concept developed by Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann in 1967. This element of the theory includes the way in which human beings mentally create backgrounds or environments within which it becomes easier to understand others. For example, for many of us it is difficult to understand the abuse of children. However, when we consider the past abuse the abuser may have suffered, we become more able to understand (not condone) the abusive behavior. The social construction in this instance is the understanding that individuals may learn abusive behaviors from their own caregivers, never learning proper care-giving techniques.
For the professional social worker, interactionist theory provides a basis for examining the communications between and among individuals, families, and groups. By attempting to understand the patterns of communication in play, the social worker may be able to assist individuals, families, and groups to improve their communications, thereby possibly improving the quality of the relationships under examination.
Human interactions are fraught with possibilities for prejudice and discrimination. When we ask an African-American classmate to comment on the stability of the African- American family, we are putting that person in the position of attempting to speak for an entire racial and ethnic group. Buried in such a question is the covert assumption that all African-Americans know everything about every other African –American – hardly a fair or accurate assumption. "But," you might ask, "who could better speak to the issue?"
The subtle difference is that the African-American classmate might better be asked to comment on his/her experiences as a member of an African-American family. This communicates the desire to be informed about the experience, but does not make the same incorrect assumptions.
Functional Theory
This theory is also sometimes known as the structural-functional model and suggests that society is structured with manifest functions, those that are obvious and overt, and latent functions, or those with hidden elements and unexpected and unintended results. For example, welfare reform resulted in many families becoming ineligible for welfare benefits, the manifest function. A latent function was the influx of women entering the workforce, competing for minimum wage jobs.
Functional theory also maintains that society should function as a well-organized whole, promoting stability and order. According to this theory, problems arise in the society when the balance is disrupted, as when important parts of the society become dysfunctional.
This theory also supposes that each of us has a place in society and that the harmonious function of society depends on each person or group of persons fulfilling the necessary tasks. It was developed by such scholars as Auguste Comte and Emile Durkheim in the 19th century, and Thomas Morton, Talcott Parsons and Herbert Spencer in the 20th century.
The social worker may use an understanding of functional theory to assist individuals, group members, and family members to better understand how they fit – or don't fit – into their social environment. With understanding may come resolve to better adapt or adjust to the society in which one finds him/herself.
Conflict Theory
Based in large part on the socioeconomic theories of Karl Marx, conflict theory suggests that in society, there are the "haves" and the "have-nots" and that those with power, the "haves," are intent on keeping what they have, while the "have-nots" are intent on attempting to attain it, creating conflict.
When examining any element of society, especially those that reflect conflict in any form, conflict theorists are prone to asking, "Who benefits?" The answer to this question, according to these theorists, will spotlight those for whom the conflict is not only beneficial, but also essential. For example, Piven and Cloward (1971), in their groundbreaking work, Regulating the Poor, suggested that public welfare is a means of maintaining the status of the poor. These authors also suggested that historical examination of public welfare benefits reveals that such benefits are maintained at a level guaranteed to make recipients fearful of losing them, but never enough to fully provide for all needs.
The social worker may assist the individual or member of a family or a group in understanding the conflicts inherent in some human interactions. Understanding such conflicts may enable the person to better function in his/her social environment. The social worker may also find him/herself in the role of advocate, assisting individuals or groups in their attempts to achieve fair treatment at work, in school, or in the pursuit of public welfare benefits.
