- - has any one ever heard of.....
has any one ever heard of..... hey has any one ever heard of this book? How to Grow a Long, Thick Mane and Tail on ANY Horse Lightning FAST! Does this realy work? I would really like to get my horses main and tail long and beautiful. But no mater how hard I try I cant get her hair to grow. :cry: |
no, I've never heard of it.Have you tryed MTG, it works really good. |
MTG all the way! |
yes I have. I think I've tried just about every thing. I let it grow out several times and it just looks awful. Its thin and uneaven and its all raty. so I usualy end up pulling it. :( |
I don't have any personal experience with that book but I have heard from several people on here that Beth Moore is a crock. IMHO, some horses are just not meant to have long hair, whether by genetics or environmental factors. Some horses are just naturally hairy while others have nothing at all. :( |
thats what I figured. *sigh* |
well I wnt to that barn today. the farrier was there so now her feet are very pruty. I finaly brushed her mane ( I never do because I want it to grow out) and low and behold it is thicker than I thought. I lied I'm sorry. :P well I guess we will see how long it takes to grow out. I'll send pics when its not raining. |
Really, I think the best thing that you can do is to keep it clean and conditioned. Wash it once every couple of weeks, use a good leave in conditioner and put it up in loose braids or a mane bag. Don't every brush it, just pick out any knots with your fingers and keep her somewhere that there is nothing it can get caught on like a stall or a treeless paddock. I personally think that Sonador is beautiful and she doesn't need one of those big heavy flowing manes. I have several of those and the care is more than it is worth sometimes. |
She lives in a treeless pasture. she has a run in and she is by her self all day and has a buddy at night. but they just keep there distance from each other. so I dont have to worrie about him pulling it out. :) I'd dont really want it for looks as much as I'm doing it so I can play with it. :P I love playing with long manes. |
:D I'll loan you one of mine. How about Koda's? His averages about a foot and a half long (to the point of his shoulder) and I have to brush out knots and witch's stirrups every time I am out to see them. http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/Koda/016.jpg |

It is cutting-edge products like these that are helping define this new age of wireless entertainment.
He says he also been in touch with wireless engineers inside Egypt who could help distribute and install mesh networking software.
Speaking of Grandma, The wireless Joey is so simple she can install it herself.
Two wireless networks—Revolution one and Revolution two—were set up in the tent city to keep them plugged in.
On wireless—which eventually will be the more important platform—that disparity will be even more evident.
There was no wireless in those days to send out its call for help, and for three days the ship drifted in a helpless condition.
The two obeyed him, and went in search of the wireless room.
But in five minutes he came back into the wireless room, this time apparently not in such a hurry.
"That's a good idea," said Casey, the wireless man off duty.
In these days of wireless telegraph and fast sea traffic such a thing could not be possible.
A term describing a computer network where there is no physical connection (either copper cable or fibre optics) between sender and receiver, but instead they are connected by radio.
Applications for wireless networks include multi-party teleconferencing, distributed work sessions, personal digital assistants, and electronic newspapers. They include the transmission of voice, video, images, and data, each traffic type with possibly differing bandwidth and quality-of-service requirements. The wireless network components of a complete source-destination path requires consideration of mobility, hand-off, and varying transmission and bandwidth conditions. The wired/wireless network combination provides a severe bandwidth mismatch, as well as vastly different error conditions. The processing capability of fixed vs. mobile terminals may be expected to differ significantly. This then leads to such issues to be addressed in this environment as admission control, capacity assignment and hand-off control in the wireless domain, flow and error control over the complete end-to-end path, dynamic bandwidth control to accommodate bandwidth mismatch and/or varying processing capability.

Thanks to my mother-in-law, that 36-22-36 blonde doll made an unwelcome entrance into my toddler's toy gallery this holiday season. But that doesn't mean I'm giving in to all future Barbie requests so fast. It just means I'm going to have to find something ten times cooler than her royal plastic majesty.
And so I'm enlisting the help of Wren Handmade, a company that makes lovely dolls exactly to your specifications. No more fruitless searching for that rare doll of color, a redhead, or one that has to wear the exact shade of purple that makes your daughter squeal. Just email Laura with your custom order and check out her shop for a variety of cute, classy clothing–no slutty crop tops or Daisy Duke shorts. Just dolls that look like real, live, loveable people. For a very refreshing change. -Kristen

Working with Cancer
Employment and Treatment
After the initial pain, heartache, and exhausting research that often comes with a cancer diagnosis, many patients will also have to consider whether they will continue working. Most individuals don't have the luxury of leaving their job to focus exclusively on their health and others might simply enjoy their job or not want to give up their career. That's where Cancer and Careers comes in.
Legal Protection
In September, I attended a webinar to help people navigate the decision of working with cancer. Thankfully, there's laws designed to protect those diagnosed and create a more comfortable work environment if you do decide you are able to work during treatment. Specifically, there's the Family Medical Leave Act and the Americans With Disability Act.
The Americans with Disabilities Act will help make reasonable accommodations for those working through many serious diagnosis. For example, let's say chemotherapy has made you tired and your job requires you to walk down the hall numerous times a day to the printer – the ADA can help to legally get a printer set up in your office. Like any law, the ADA is not entirely black-and-white and it can, to a degree, be interpreted by people differently – but many requests that relate directly to a diagnosis such as cancer must be accommodated within reason. Reasonable accommodations cost an employer on average less than $500 and are even sometimes free. It can be as little as changing your schedule or making sure you have a few more bathroom breaks during a shift. That said, don't be shy about speaking up for yourself with your employer.
In my experience however, working with the lovely people who use our site, I've learned it can be incredibly difficult to work throughout treatment. If this is the case, the Family Medical Leave Act is worth reviewing. This law allows up to 12 weeks of time off to focus on treatment, surgery, recovery (and watching as many romantic comedies as you can) etc. This is a gift to many people, as it means time off to take care of yourself and even spend time with loved ones. The FMLA time off requirements are also reasonable, so not to worry if you haven't been at a company for several years. Instead, it's based on a cumulative amount of hours over a more modest period of time. There's also an opportunity to get even more extended time off through the ADA.
While we're certainly not lawyers here at GiveForward and would highly recommend you do your homework regarding both pieces of legislation as well as consult with a lawyer, working with an illness is a possibility. And there's legislation in place to help make this possible if you decide continuing your career throughout treatment is right for you.

Professional Media briefs
Catherine DeAngelis will step down from her post as JAMA editor-in-chief next June, the journal said, and return to Johns Hopkins. During her 10-year career at the AMA-published medical publication, DeAngelis toughened conflict-of-interest guidelines, worked to require registration of clinical trials as a condition of publication and established the JAMA requirement that industry-sponsored clinical trials must have an independent academic statistician to review all data before a manuscript can be accepted and published. She was also criticized for letting some author conflicts go undisclosed.A Columbia University study found that in 2007, 25 out of 32 consultants to medical device firms drawing $1 million-plus compensation failed to reveal those conflicts of interest in journal articles published the following year. The authors called for tougher disclosure policies at medical journals.
The FDA's Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising and Communication hit Baxter with a warning letter for a physician brochure for Aralast NP, expressing concern over "your continued violative promotion of your products" and citing two previous letters.

WolfPack hold off Spartans for victory
Trailing by just one point at the half, the Trinity Western Spartans were undone by the third quarter, losing 72-60 to the Thompson Rivers WolfPack on Friday (Feb. 1) in Kamloops.
The loss drops the Spartans women's basketball team to 5-13 while the WolfPack improved to 14-5 as they continue the hunt for top spot in the Pacific Division.
"We were in a close battle right from the start and were able to respond to what they were doing for the first part of the game," said Trinity Western coach Cheryl Jean-Paul.
"The challenge was that we struggled to find the scores we needed in the second half to be able to maintain pressure.
"Our struggles from the perimeter really allowing them to clog the lanes defensively and made it tough to get some of the looks that have been working for us."
The coach was impressed that her team put up a fight against a WolfPack squad in the thick of a race for top spot in their division.
"I was really proud of how we didn't back down," she said.
"We played hard and everyone contributed to make it as tough for them as possible.
"For us to learn what it takes to make a playoff push will be important for the future of this program. Every weekend has had valuable lessons to help us move towards that."
Holly Strom led the Spartans with 24 points and a dozen rebounds. Janelle Traber chipped in with 15 points and six rebounds and Emily Knauff had 13 points, five rebounds and five assists.
The Spartans are back in action on Feb. 8 and 9 when they host the UBC Okanagan Heat at the Langley Events Centre.

Where to Buy Thai Tea
Thai tea is a powdered tea flavored with star anise, cinnamon, vanilla and often orange food coloring. If you like its flavor and you are wondering where to buy Thai tea, you will either be able to find it at a local store or you may buy it online.
Decide how you want to have your Thai tea. It can be prepared with or without milk and it may be served hot or cold. There are several types of Thai tea mixes available in the market. Your personal preference will help you to determine which variety of Thai tea to buy.
Know your Preference
Find out how you like your Thai tea prepared. You can make Thai tea with or without milk and may serve it hot or cold. Your personal preferences can guide you through which tea to buy and what you need for its preparation. There are different Thai tea mixes if you want hot or iced Thai tea.
Talk to a server at some good Thai restaurant so as to determine which brands of Thai tea they recommend. You may also get to know which brand to go for according to your taste. Different brands use different products to flavor the tea.
Buy Thai Tea from Local Store
If you are buying Thai tea in person from a local store, inspect the package carefully before purchasing. See to it that there are no bugs crawling about and check whether a lot of food coloring has been added to the tea or not. Make sure that the packaging is free from dust. Alternatively, if you are buying tea online, look for a reputable online market.
Buy Thai Tea Online
Several online stores sell premade Thai tea mix. For instance, the popular Por Kwan variety of Thai tea instant mix can be bought from Import Foods which is an online Thai market. Concentrated Thai tea syrup is available at Curry Simple. This tea syrup allows you to enjoy a cup of Thai tea anytime. If you do not have the time to brew tea, you must buy this ready-to-make tea syrup.
Hope your queries regarding where to buy Thai tea must have been resolved after reading the article.

text: SDPD Fires Officer Accused In Sexual Battery Case Anthony Arevalos Faces 18 Criminal Charges 10:41 AM, Apr 16, 2011 Share Article A San Diego police officer charged with 18 felonies was fired, although he is still awaiting trial, the San Diego Police Department announced Friday.Officer Anthony Arevalos, an 18-year veteran of the SDPD, was arrested March 11 after a woman accused him of sexually assaulting her during a traffic stop in the Gaslamp Quarter as the woman drove home from the Mardi Gras celebration on March 8.The woman told police Arevalos took her to a nearby 7-Eleven store where he fondled her in a bathroom and asked for her underwear.Four other women came forward and accused Arevalos, 40, of trying to elicit sexual favors during traffic stops in the same area.Arevalos has pleaded not guilty to 18 felony counts, including sexual battery, false imprisonment, assault under color of authority and accepting a bribe.If convicted, he could be sentenced to more than 11 years in prison.He had been suspended from the department and placed on administrative leave without pay for a month before being terminated.When asked how he can fire Arevalos without a criminal conviction, San Diego Police Chief Bill Lansdowne replied, "I think that the internal review that we made warrants the termination at this particular time, but it's a personnel matter and I can't say much more about it."Former San Diego District Attorney Paul Pfingst told 10News, "Whenever the police chief is not waiting until the conclusion of criminal charges, it tells us that the police chief is very confident in the amount and the quality of the evidence against his officer."Pfingst added, "What this tells us is that the chief is very confident that the Civil Service Commission would never return this man to his job as a police officer."Attorney Kerry Armstrong, who represents two of the five alleged victims, told 10News he's happy with the chief's decision."I don't think anyone like that should be on the police force. I think the police force did exactly what they needed to do," he said.Armstrong spoke to 10News after telling one of his clients about Arevalos' termination."She's very happy that he's no longer on the force," said Armstrong. "She came forward because she didn't want anybody else to be victimized like she was."Arevalos' attorney, Jan Ronis, was unavailable for comment. Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

Nearly eight years ago, B.J. Stevens and Barry Miller opened up a pet store in a room not much larger than a fish tank -- at least that's where all of there fish tanks are now.
Today that store, Baker Drive Pets Inc. at 2218 Baker Drive, spans more than 1,200 square feet; however, the store is closing its doors this winter.
Stevens, store co-owner and manager, is stepping down from managing the store and looking to sell it because of a degenerative spine disease.
"I just can't stand up this many hours," Stevens said. "My health doesn't allow me to anymore."
Stevens said he would like to see the business stay open for the sake of Craig pet owners.
"I don't want to leave people high and dry," he said. "That's the worst part. There's all these people with animals I feel like I'm letting them down."
Stevens said three couples are looking to buy the business, but if the sale doesn't go through by the end of the year, he'll shut the doors regardless.
Everything in the store will be on sale for 40 percent off until the store is sold or closes.
For those interested in owning the business, Stevens said he would stick around to help new owners through the transition.
"I would definitely like to see the store stay open," he said.
In the mean time, Clint Gabbert, an employee at Baker Drive Pets, is opening up a delivery business out of his home for hungry pets. Gabbert will deliver feeder goldfish and crickets. Gabbert can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 826-4004.
But this doesn't mark the end for Stevens' business enterprises. He's going back to his roots to manage an online Omega One Fish Food store.
"This will enable me to still be functioning and still have a job, even I can't work like I used to," he said.
Stevens said he has experience working on the Web back when "people didn't even know that the Internet was the Internet," when he worked for the Department of Defense.
"I just can't tell people how much the way I've been treated in Craig means to me. It's been wonderful," he said. "It's been an emotional week around here."

I know the proper temperature range for keeping a betta is 78-82 f (some would say even higher, but that is debatable) but which temperature is ideal? I find that most of you here tend to keep your buddies at 82 f though I keep mine at 80 f just to be somewhere in between. I guess I'm a little scared after having read discus keepers talk about how when they kept bettas upwards of 84 f they would simply burn out and fall ill or die after a few months. Thoughts?

0I think 80 is probably fine. I know they don't do well at lower temps - they tend to hover at the bottom of the tank and get stressed if the water is too cool but if the fish is acting normally, eating, etc. you have the tank at a good temp.

69 Runs scored by Sunrisers Hyderabad for the loss of one wicket in the first 10 overs. They managed only 64 for the loss of 5 wickets in next 10!
64.58 Rajasthan Royals' win-percentage while chasing a target (31 wins out of 51) - the best among all IPL teams.
46 Number of balls taken by Ajinkya Rahane to reach his 50 - his is the joint slowest 50 by a Rajasthan Royals batsman in the IPL. Interestingly, the other instance also belongs to Rahane (vs Mumbai Indians at Jaipur last year).
42 years 192 days – Pravin Tambe's age. He became the oldest player to make an IPL appearance, taking the record from Brad Hogg who played his last IPL match at the age of 42 years 86 days last year (also for the Rajasthan Royals)
4 Number of times Sunrisers have failed to reach 150 against Rajasthan Royals. They batted first on all four occasions.

How do you measure the strength of an encryption algorithm?
So far, I have not found a complete reference on this. There are some references and they refer to different things, such as randomness, avalanche effect, diffusion, or anything that is related to how different the output if the input or key is very similar.
Another issue that is important is the key space. The larger the key space and the more complex the algorithm (big Oh?), the more difficult an algorithm is broken by brute force attack.
Another lead says that you have to go through cryptanalysis to measure the strength of an encryption algorithm.
Anyway, I am still searching. Let me know if you have more references.

I think the securest method at this time is by combining between Your Own Encryption Algorithm Method-YOEAMe (make an encryption method by yourself) and the other most securest one which most used recently. But security level of YOEAMe will be depends on each people, the smarter people will have the more secure method. It's looked like a discrimination right? hahaha... but it's not.

DOVER — Blue Latitudes in the Cocheco Mill Courtyard will open its doors to the community today for a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
Having reportedly doubled in size since the first year the dinner was held, nearly 300 Garrison City residents were invited to the feast in 2011.
Even Santa Claus himself made an appearance last year handing out bags consisting of gloves, scarves and sweatshirts to diners.
The fourth annual dinner will kick off with the first seating at 11 a.m. and a second seating at 1 p.m. Those behind the tradition say they expect about 300 people for the 2012 dinner.
Last year, Police Chief Anthony Colarusso, member of the Thanksgiving Celebration Committee, told Foster's this event was intended to "give something to people who may not otherwise have that traditional Thanksgiving lunch."
Residents of Dover Housing Authority complexes, Dover Children's Home and area retirement communities were served a full dinner in 2011.
Blue Latitudes is located at 431 Central Ave.

Giant black holes are famous for their appetites, but these matter-munching monsters are even greedier than scientists once thought, a new study suggests.
The supermassive black holes that lurk at the center of most (if not all) galaxies are growing surprisingly quickly, the study found. The result implies that these cosmic behemoths are sustained primarily by frequent small meals rather than rare and dramatic galactic mergers, as was previously believed.
Supermassive black holes are almost incomprehensibly huge, with some containing 10 billion or more times the mass of our own sun. The research team used computer simulations to investigate how such black holes grow, especially in spiral galaxies like the Earth's Milky Way.
The astronomers found that, contrary to prevailing theory, central black holes can grow quite rapidly in quiet, merger-free spirals simply by sucking up galactic gas and other matter.
"These simulations show that it is no longer possible to argue that black holes in spiral galaxies do not grow efficiently," study lead author Victor Debattista, of the University of Central Lancashire in England, said in a statement. "Our simulations will allow us to refine our understanding of how black holes grew in different types of galaxies."
The new study further bolsters the emerging view that gigantic galactic smashups are responsible for just a small portion of supermassive black holes' growth, researchers said.
And such growth can be prodigious. The black hole at the heart of the famous Sombrero Galaxy, also known as M104 or NGC 4594, has swallowed the equivalent of one sun every 20 years and now contains at least 500 million solar masses, researchers said.
The supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Way Galaxy appears far less greedy, growing at a rate of one solar mass every 3,000 years, researchers said. Scientists estimate that this black hole, also known as Sagittarius A* (pronounced "Sagittarius A-star"), has the mass of about 4 million suns.
The new study was published today (Feb. 12) by The Astrophysical Journal.

Voters in America's Auto & Manufacturing Heartland Want 60 MPG Fuel Economy Standard by 2025
1,600 likely Ohio and Michigan voters surveyed by the Mellman Group for Ceres, see job and national security benefits as well as big savings at the pump
A new poll shows voters overwhelmingly support increased average fuel economy to 60 mpg and reducing carbon dioxide pollution from new automobiles.
A new poll of 800 likely Michigan voters and 800 likely Ohio voters found overwhelming and intense support for requiring the auto industry to increase average fuel economy to 60 miles per gallon by 2025 and reduce carbon dioxide pollution from new cars, pickup trucks, minivans and SUVs. The poll was conducted by The Mellman Group for Ceres from April 9-12.
"The American voter – the American consumer – is speaking loudly in these key states," said Ceres President Mindy Lubber. "It isn't just $4-a-gallon fatigue. These voters clearly recognize that our economic, environmental and national security futures are also rolled up in saving money at the pump and making America far more energy independent."
The poll finds that robust support for a 60 miles per gallon standard extends across the political spectrum in Michigan and Ohio - the heart of America's auto and manufacturing industry. Voters believe increased fuel efficiency will be good for the economy, job creation, reducing driving costs and boosting America's national security by cutting our reliance on foreign oil.
Among the key findings:
Voters don't believe the rhetoric that higher standards would cost jobs or hurt U.S. automakers. In fact, they believe increased efficiency will spur innovation and create jobs.
- 80% of likely Ohio voters and 76% of likely Michigan voters believe a national 60 mpg standard will encourage American car makers to innovate, boosting sales and protecting American auto jobs.
- Voter support remains strong even when higher vehicle costs are noted because likely voters believe increasing vehicle fuel efficiency will pay for itself.
- 59% of likely voters in Ohio and 56% of likely voters in Michigan accurately believe any costs attached to increasing vehicle fuel efficiency will be outweighed by benefits—efficiency increases will pay for themselves.
"Michigan voters overwhelming support for higher fuel efficiency standards by 2025 matches what is technologically feasible," notes John DeCicco, a faculty fellow at the University of Michigan's Energy Institute. His report, "A Fuel Efficiency Horizon for US Automobiles," presented at an automotive engineering conference earlier this year, shows how optimal use of available and affordable technologies can push new fleet efficiency as high as 74 mpg given adequate lead time.
"Voters in these two presidential battleground states overwhelmingly support stronger vehicle standards because they believe higher standards will create American jobs and make US auto companies more competitive," said Mark Mellman, President and CEO of The Mellman Group. "This support cuts across traditional demographic, political and industrial boundaries. This is a real and serious issue to voters, with supermajorities considering increased fuel efficiency not just an important issue, but a very important issue."
Other key findings:
In Michigan – the heart of the American auto industry – likely voters overwhelmingly support the 60 mpg fuel efficiency standard.
- 78% of likely Michigan voters say they support 60 mpg. This includes 58% who "strongly" support 60 mpg.
- 68% of likely voters in Michigan auto industry households and 72% of likely voters in Michigan manufacturing households support 60 mpg.
In Ohio – another key auto manufacturing hub – likely voters overwhelmingly support 60 mpg and tougher pollution controls on new cars, pickup trucks, minivans, and SUV's.
- 79% of likely Ohio voters say they support 60 mpg. This includes 60% who "strongly" support 60 mpg.
- 84% of likely voters in Ohio auto industry households and 74% of likely voters in Ohio manufacturing households support 60 mpg.
"It comes as no surprise that Ohioans overwhelmingly support stronger fuel economy standards for automobiles. Higher fuel economy standards will help create new jobs," said JD Staley Director of Sales and Marketing for Amp Electric. The company is engaged in the emission-free electrification of specific OEM vehicles and has doubled its workforce in the last year to meet rising demand. It is based in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Staley added, "With Ohio's manufacturing base and auto-industry roots, imagine what the potential is for a state like ours. "
Voters see increasing fuel efficiency as an urgent issue, the poll found.
- 87% of likely voters in Michigan and 90% of likely voters in Ohio say it is "important" or "very important" to take action now to increase fuel efficiency.
- Every group of likely voters across the political spectrum supports 60 mpg by wide margins; no group opposes it.
Michigan overwhelmingly supports 60 mpg:
- Democrats (91% to 9%), Republicans (65% support, 31% oppose), and Independents (71% to 22%)
- Conservatives (67% support, 29% oppose), moderates (76% to 19%), and liberals (92% to 7%)
- Men and women, truck and SUV owners, likely voters from Detroit, Flint and Grand Rapids— all support 60 mpg
Ohio overwhelmingly supports 60 mpg:
- Democrats (89% to 8%), Republicans (68% support, 29% oppose), and Independents (77% to 18%)
- Conservatives (69% support, 28% oppose), moderates (81% to 13%), and liberals (89% to 8%)
- Men and women, truck and SUV owners, voters from auto industry households—all support 60 mpg
The new polling data comes as government agencies seek to develop new passenger vehicle fuel economy standards for the years 2017-2025. A 60 mpg average fuel economy by 2025 would mean increasing fuel economy by 6 percent a year over the current 2016 standard of 35 mpg. Proposed standards are expected to be released in September.

The PureFlow AirDog A4SPBD003 150GPH Air/Fuel Separation System for your 1994-1998 Dodge 5.9L Cummins provides the most effective technology designed specifically to remove water, particulates, vapor and entrained air from the diesel fuel in your truck. The AirDog is a lift pump and filtration system, that enhances the fuel delivery to your engine with a commercial duty system.
Your high performance diesel engine demands higher fuel flows. Yet higher fuel flows increase the vacuum at the fuel pump and agitation in the fuel tank. These factors generate additional air/vapor in the fuel system preventing your engine from producing maximum power and efficiency. Additionally, air/vapor can cause galling and pitting of the injector barrel/plunger assembly and also tip erosion. The AirDog eliminates air in the fuel that robs your engine of consistently greater performance and can also cause permanent damage to your injectors. The AirDog also provides the fuel pressures and flows your diesel engine needs to produce maximum power, any time, every time!
The Airdog works by pulling fuel from the fuel tank containing entrained air/vapor, particulate contaminates and unknown quantities of moisture. The fuel passes through the water separator which removes the water and large particulate contaminates. Then, the fuel with only entrained air/vapor and tiny particulate contaminates remaining, enters the fuel pump. Under positive pressure flow, the fuel passes through the fuel filter and the remaining particulate contaminates are caught and contained, the entrained air/vapor is also separated and returned to the tank. The clean fuel is now free of contaminants and water and flows at the proper pressures up to your engine.

September starts out with a bang as a classic genre gets an A-list update, while the tired tenets of the action film receive an equally refreshing, John Woo-ish jerryrigging. In the guise of an unnecessary remake, James Mangold, flush from his success with the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line, has managed to nab a stellar cast—Christian Bale, Russell Crowe, Peter Fonda—to guide the 3:10 to Yuma (7 September) back into theatrical stations. The simple story of a desperate rancher, hard up for cash, who volunteers to escort an outlaw to the title train, the original was more of a battle of wills vs. a blaze of ammunition. But to his credit, Mangold does not try to do the revisionist or deconstructionist thing. Instead, he allows his actors to fully inhabit their roles, resulting in a movie that's as powerful in its presence as it is knowing in its nostalgia.
On the other end of the firefight spectrum is Shoot 'Em Up (7 September). With another amazing collection of talent (Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, Monica Belluci), relative feature film newcomer Michael Davis has gone from raunchy teen sex comedies and middling horror to this highly stylized crime cavalcade. While anyone paying homage to the Hong Kong school of violence runs the risk of overplaying their hand (see Kurt Wimmer's Equilibrium as an example), previews at the recent San Diego ComicCon drew definite geek praise.
3:10 to Yuma | Shoot 'Em Up |
Oddly enough, brutality is the theme for the following week's best bets. Eastern Promises and The Brave One (both 14 September) use crime and punishment as their central conceits. Equally interesting is that fact that each film is helmed by one of the medium's resident cinematic geniuses—Promises by David Cronenberg, Brave One by The Crying Game's Neil Jordan. It's in the narrative and approach where the comparisons end. Jodie Foster is already generating significant Oscar buzz for her work in Brave. She plays a woman who resorts to aggressive vigilante justice when a brutal attack shatters her sheltered world. But it's a journey that's far more personal, and problematic, than your standard revenge flick. Co-star Terrance Howard is the cop who may or may not be covering up for her.
In Promises, Viggo Mortenson plays a Russian mafia hitman who crosses paths with a curious midwife (Naomi Watts) who stumbled upon information that could undermine the entire London syndicate. Jordan is striving for post-modern social commentary, linking the empowerment of taking the law into one's own hands to the helplessness inherent in the modern mindset. Cronenberg, on the other hand, is fooling around with classic cat and mouse mystery while providing an intriguing character dynamic.
Eastern Promises | The Brave One |
The rest of the month sees a drop off in potential quality fare. Into the Wild (21 September) is a Sean Penn-helmed road picture about a young man who abandons his life and possessions to live in the wilderness of Alaska. It's as much about the inner voyage toward self as the collection of eccentric characters one meets along the way. Peter Berg should expect a blazing bonfire of controversy when his jingoistically brilliant The Kingdom (28 September) hits theaters. Its anti-Muslim rhetoric is ferocious, with or without a complex, considerate Saudi Arabian policemen (a fantastic Ashraf Barhoum) acting as a Arab surrogate to Jamie Foxx and the gang's FBI heroes. On that same day, an amazing collection of Award winning talent brings Charles Baxter's novel Feast of Love to life for Hollywood legend Robert Benton. Even in his late '70s, the two time Oscar winner shows no signs of slowing up.
Into the Wild | The Kingdom |
Finally, one of the year's most anticipated films gets a limited release the last weekend in September. Major metropolises will be the lucky recipients of Wes Anderson's latest quirky journey of the human spirit when The Darjeeling Limited (28 September) heads out into theaters. With its intriguing tale of three brothers trying to reconnect on a railroad excursion through India, we could be seeing the next phase in this almost auteur's stellar career.
As a film critic, it's not hard to see which movies the studios are betting on. Press releases pour in from all manner of sources, and invitations to screenings can't come rapidly or readily enough. On the other hand, those projects abandoned by the brass and all but forgotten by the marketers are like little lost children, constantly calling out to their Madison Avenue mommies and getting very little love in return. Though it's poised to appear on movie screens in less than three weeks, Sony has yet to schedule any previews for their Resident Evil tre-quel, Extinction (21 September). The Road Warrior theme seems 'inviting', but apparently, that's as far as the RSVP analogy goes.
Similarly, the studio has had an impossible time with the press over the whole Across the Universe (14 September) debacle. After completion, the film was taken out of the hands of director Julie Taymor and 'retooled' by supposed cinematic know it all, studio head Joe Roth (he of Christmas with the Kranks fame). Apparently, neither version is very appealing. Oddly enough, everyone should have seen the writing on the wall early on. A project like this was really destined to dumbfound, even within the noblest intentions. After all, when was the last time you heard of an all Beatles musical featuring a Fab Four approach to the life and times of the turbulent '60s (or an era somewhat similar) set within their sonic psychedelic universe ever working? Apparently, no one remembers Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, or worse, All This and World War II (look it up).
Resident Evil 3 : Extinction | Across the Universe |
And then there's Dane Cook. You've got to give the self-made superstar credit. He's managed to manipulate the Internet ideal of his comedic ability (which, frankly, is questionable at best) and expand it into a steady Tinsel Town paycheck. After substantially stinking up the joint with Jessica Simpson in Employee of the Month, Cook finds himself hooked up with another society determined sex doll—in this case, Jessica Alba—for Good Luck Chuck (21 September) a retarded RomCom about a good natured goof cursed with the ability to make other relationships work. Sounds as pathetic as it appears.
Another name making massive waves on what has been, at least so far, very little telltale talent is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. His latest leap of motion picture faith finds him sticking fairly close to his 2006 sports effort, Gridiron Gang. The Game Plan (28 September) however, also has the House of Mouse imprint all over its collection of clichés. That means our tough talking football jock discovers that he's an unexpected daddy of a smart talking tween. Sadly someone did indeed get paid for cooking up that dino dropping of an idea.
Speaking of potential old hat hogwash, a name most moviegoers automatically associate with offal is back. That's right, Uwe Boll brings Postal (28 September) his latest vile videogame adaptation to a Cineplex near you. Though those who've seen it are amazed at how audacious and brazen it is, a tongue in cheek take on the source material doesn't mean it will be any good. And with Boll's reputation, it's a safe bet its not.
Good Luck Chuck | The Game Plan |
Moviemaking is not an exact science, and as such, predicting what will be good or bad is equally elusive. In the wake of such considerations then is a pile of unpredictable titles, films one can't quite figure out. Take Lust, Caution (28 September) from Ang Lee. It recently earned an NC-17, which either indicates a lack of artistic compromise on the part of the Oscar winner, or mere MPAA excess. Whatever the case, it will be interesting to see what this director does with the WWII espionage thriller. Equally intriguing is Hatchet (7 September), a horror effort getting lots of web zone hype. While the plot description makes it sound like a standard slasher revamp, early reviews have touted its throwback terrors.
On the opposite end of the buzz meter is Mr. Woodcock, a soiled little comedy featuring Billy Bob Thornton as one character's ex-gym teacher from Hell. How Susan Sarandon was suckered into this project (she plays the mother of self-help guru Sean William Scott—and the beloved of the title character) is anyone's guess. Here's hoping it's not a case of cinematic slumming by an Oscar winning actress, especially one who definitely deserves better.
Mr. Woodcock | Hatchet |
Independents will also try to make some early waves this year, with December Boys and In the Valley of Elah (both 14 September) competing for our attention. Boys offers a fresh from Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe as one of four orphans hoping to win the affection, and a possible adoption, of an interested family, while Valley marks Academy Award winner Paul Haggis' latest bid for more glittering gold statues. With the War in Iraq as a backdrop, we meet a couple desperate to discover what happened to their son upon his return from a tour of duty in the Middle East. Maybe the impressive cast can make up for some of Haggis' more melodramatic leanings.
Speaking of actors enlivening potentially pathetic films, there are three more titles opening in September that appear to need all the star power they can muster. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (21 September), aside from having the worst moniker of the month, also has one of the most troubled production histories. Apparently, the suits were not happy with Andrew Dominik's take on the western genre, and mandated reshoots to insert more "action". Sounds like a desperation move by a very displeased studio.
December Boys | In the Valley of Elah |
Similarly, The Brothers Solomon (7 September) keeps getting bumped from release date to release date in a maddening attempt to avoid direct competition with a certain Mr. Apatow and his comedy cavalcade. Even with its lowbrow lite laughs, this still seems like an unimpressive mess. Last but not least, Amanda Bynes gives director Joe Nussbaum a chance to prove that his sensational short George Lucas in Love was not all this filmmaker had to offer to the medium. But this modern take on the seven dwarves classic—here, relabeled Sydney White (21 September)—sounds suspicious at best.

Use for Technical, all mountain and trail riding. Solid, sturdy bike. No issues and have ridden it hard. Suspension is outstanding, and am still playing with it to dial in the ride. Have done drop offs to steep rocky climbs. Outstanding bike. Wish it were slightly lighter. Tires are awful in wet weather, but are fast and hold on anything dry.
Best Uses
I purchased the bike from Chris at the OFfRAMP. I had a Cannondale pretty high end bike. My search lead me to look at various bikes and testing some high end bikes. The Giant Trance was perfect. In a month I have over 400 miles of single track trails - have been to the top of Mission Peak and rode trails San Mateo. The bike is solid on climbs and down hill runs. The only issues were the chain rings in the front - which were replaced by the OFFRAMP at no cost. ALL in all this bike is a lot of fun for the price and performance. The Service from the OFFRAMP is first class. Go Team Giant!
Best Uses
I ride all over the place, 1-2 hrs per night....Long halls along road ways, then jump off on to trails and complete my ride. This bike is great if you enjoy running along at about 80%, any more than that and she pushes back. Road and light trail work it's un stopable, but throw some roots and a few rocks in front of it and it shows you it's flaws. The front fork is just not what I would call quality....don't get me wrong it works....but if you ride in the high 80% to 100% pace it just doesn't cut it. Can't handle big roots logs and down hill.....just take the short cut to avoid them all together. The crank is awsume for long hauls up hill and tight quick pumping. Rear shock is great...handles everything I have thrown at it and hasn't complained yet. Rebound adjustment is excellent and once you get the pressure right for your style, you won't have any issues. Brakes are very good for being cable opperated, with lot's of feel. You can stand it on it's nose going down hill, with one finger....just watch the fork! Bars, seat, derailers all work very well. I had some issues with the derailers but simple adjustment by the store where it was purchased solved everything.
Best Uses
i buy this bike for reason of been liking full suspension,like the geometry. i clean it every ride and make it a show room look.
Best Uses
Being a Trek owner for the past few years this bike leads the pack by a long way. i was told the first ride off road i would see a huge difference in the two brands. and i can say that is 100% a true fact i took it out on its first ride 3 hrs. and put it to the test. took it on creek crossings, deer trails with roots and small logs in the way took it in the red mud of Georgia second to none took it over rocks and up and down steep banks, even got to ride in a little snow gears worked as well in the mud as if riding on the road. brakes worked just as good. so on a scale of 1 to 10 this bike rates a full ten price is high but well worth the money. i look foward to many hours of hard riding.
Best Uses
great first XC bike.. never ridden XC and loved the bike so much i sold me friends on buying one as well..

Our office, as well as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recommends that your child visit the dentist by his/her 1st birthday. You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive. Your child should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions. The less to-do concerning the visit, the better.
We invite you to stay with your child during the initial examination. During future appointments, we suggest you allow your child to accompany our staff through the dental experience. We can usually establish a closer rapport with your child when you are not present. Our purpose is to gain your child's confidence and overcome apprehension. However, if you choose, you may come with your child to the treatment room. For the safety and privacy of all patients, other children who are not being treated should remain in the reception room with a supervising adult.

Hint: General tips:
Use the scope on the sniper rifle to survey unfamiliar environments. Use your environment to your advantage. For example, a group of soldiers near a gas drum can be eradicated with one well placed shot. Search all areas thoroughly for well-kept information or hidden supplies. Try activating anything that looks like a knob, switch, or secret passageway; anything that may be opened, turned on/off, destroyed, etc. Shoot out overhead lights to remain hidden in the shadows. Do not forget to use your gadgets; they are vital to your success. When you see an enemy in the distance, stay out of sight, take your time, and drop him with a headshot. If you sneak up on an enemy from behind, put your gun to his back and he will surrender. Look for glowing objects; they provide clues as to what action you should perform. Do not try to barrel through groups of enemies. Instead, take cover and pick them off one at a time. Listen to M's advice. She will not mislead you. If you kill civilians, your mission is over. Reload whenever you have a chance. Even if you have half a clip remaining if your health is low, take the time to backtrack and search for body armor. When you require stealth, attach the silencer to your Wolfram PP7. Keep a eye out for snipers in high places. When outgunned, a flash grenade and hurried flight is better than an all-out fire fight. Use your laser watch to break into locks and hatches

On the New Colts Blackout Policy
Posted By Rich Marchione On Jul 11 2012 @ 2:50 pm In Indianapolis Colts | No Comments
The Indianapolis Colts have announced that they will go beyond the new NFL 85% blackout policy and voluntarily raise it to 100% sending most Colt fans into an Irsay hating frenzy. Most invoke the "Our tax dollars payed for that new stadium of yours and now you're not going to let us watch unless we fill it" opinion. This is a PR move by the Colts that may prove disastrous.
Most people in Indianapolis and the surrounding areas can not afford single game prices let alone shelling out thousands of dollars for a full home season. I'm not going to quote the total cost for a full day of Colts football for a family of four because in all actuality I don't know. But "it ain't chump change", as the saying goes. Holding the fans of a team that the tax payers feel like they paid for hostage when you just finished with the worst record in the league, released a legend, gutted the rest of the team and are trying to re-face the franchise just doesn't make sense to me.
One of the main reason the Colts front office is giving is the fact that the team would have to shell out 50% of any tickets sold over the NFL's 85% policy to the visiting team if you televise a game in which you don't' sell out to that 85%. On that basic computation it would be a small price to pay to showcase a new team to future season ticket buyers who CAN afford it. But it's not even that bad. Nate Dunlevy of Bleacher Report spells it out in this response from a disgruntled Colt's fan comment on his blog:
Cody Hughes [1]posted about 4 hours ago Contributor I
$385k was quick math, but I'm getting my number based on the remaining 15% of seats. Lucas Oil holds 70,000, so roughly 10,100 seats. Average ticket price is $73 for a Colts game according to SeatGeek. I'm not a mathematician, but if the Titans show up and get 50 cents on the dollar after 85%. That is more in the ball park of $368,650 paid to Tennessee for a game in which they didn't contribute to selling tickets. Nowhere near…$10k per game.
Nate Dunlevy [2]posted about 4 hours ago Featured Columnist II
@Cody: No, the number is not 85%. That's wrong.
First, the percentage is set by the team. The Colts have already sold around 94-97% of tix, so they wouldn't have to set the bar lower than 98%.
Second, the stadium seats 64K, but not all of those count toward the blackout.
The actual blackout number is closer to 54K after luxury tickets are removed.
Third, the vast majority of the tickets remaining are the cheapest ones with a face of $38-48.
Fourth, the Colts ALREADY PAY 34% to the visitors on those tickets. So, the difference is not 50% over zero. It's 50% over 34%.
Even if the Colts paid for the black out where they stand now, it's around 2k tickets.
EVEN at that number, the total comes to about $120K or 15K a game.
Of course the actual total would be less than that because they'd never set the bar for 2K tix.
Jim Irsay does a lot of things that make people say "Uh, what?", but this goes beyond any kind of logic that I can think of. I'm not a smart man (just ask my wife), but if I'm the owner of a team that is trying to gain the support of an already considered fair weather fan base (as stated by every non-Colt fan on the internet comment circuit), I sure as hell would not anger them further by taking away the only opportunity most fans get to see the product I'm trying to sell. It's a slap in the face, plain and simple.
