text: Looking for a forever home, Vernon SPCA pet of the week Howard Alexander - News Editor Tiny Image Credit: BC SPCA February 15, 2014 - 3:46 PM Tiny Tiny despite his name is a big, fluffy, handsome young cat. He was brought into the shelter as a stray so we do not know anything about his background. Since he's been in the shelter we have noticed he is quite a big eater, he loves his food and any treats. Tiny is a very loving and cuddly guy, but does not seem to enjoy other cats or loud noises, and can react by striking out at people if they happen to be near him when he is startled. He would like a quiet home that isn't on a busy street with lots of traffic noise as vehicles are scary for Tiny. If you are interested in Tiny please contact the shelter.

Don't like Webster water? You can help fix it.
Two years ago, when the Village of Webster distributed surveys soliciting residents' opinions on services and quality of life, one thing was very clear when the results were tabulated: village residents don't like the water.
No surprise there. We've all heard the joke: "Webster: Where Life is Worth Living but the water's not worth drinking." Residents have complained for years about issues including water pressure, discoloration, and hardness.
Finally there's been some real movement on the issue. Mayor Peter Elder has called for the creation of a Water Committee, which will be charged with "investigating the retention and improvement of the current water supply," while examining "the profitability and general operations of the Water Company."
The plan is for the committee to be comprised of seven village residents, the Water Department Administrator, the Planning Board Chair and a liaison from the Village Board. The committee will meet the fourth Tuesday of every month and report back to the board within one year. (See more details about the proposed committee in Mayor Elder's column here.)
So if you don't like the village's water supply, here's your chance to do something about it. Consider becoming a member of the new Water Committee; if you're interested, call Mayor Elder at (585) 662-9906 or email him at email@example.com. Even if you can't join the committee, you're welcome to attend the meetings to add your input.
On a related note, those surveys also showed that people really wanted quarterly instead of monthly water billing. Starting this June, that change will happen. It's great to see that kind of responsiveness in our government leaders. Let's hope they listen to the people on the quality of water issue as well.
email me at email@example.com

Steelers have plan to stay 'physical' with the Patriots' Rob Gronkowski
October 31, 2013 10:30 PMSteelers defensive back Robert Golden knows better than anyone how difficult it is to defend New England tight end Rob Gronkowski. He tried every day in practice for two years when they were teammates at the University of Arizona.
"We battled every day," said Golden, who is in his second season with the Steelers.
Golden's advice to his teammates as they prepare for another meeting with the NFL's premier tight end is simple: be physical.
"You just have to get your hands on Gronk," Golden said. "He's aggressive and you have to be aggressive with him. He's athletic. He gets better and better every time he plays. He's definitely not the player he was in college. But if you can get your hands on him, it can disrupt the timing and throw him off."
The Steelers discovered that the hard way. As a rookie in 2010, Gronkowski caught five passes for 72 yards and scored three touchdowns in a 39-26 Patriots victory at Heinz Field. In that game, defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau devised a game plan that employed 5-foot-10 cornerback William Gay to cover Gronkowski on most occasions.
In a rematch one year later, LeBeau used 6-1 cornerback Cortez Allen in one-on-one coverage against the 6-6, 265-pound Gronkowski, and the Steelers got much better results in a 25-17 victory. Gronkowski had seven receptions for 94 yards, but the Steelers kept him out of the end zone.
"I had him the majority of the time just based on how the defense played out," Allen said. "We were able to have some success on him. You just have to be physical with him. He's a very large target. He's a big guy. I just have to use my skills and tools to my advantage as far as being quicker and things like that, lighter on my feet, so I can put myself in better positions to defend."
Gronkowski, who played his senior season at Woodland Hills High School after moving from Buffalo, N.Y., missed the first six games this season after offseason surgeries on his back and forearm. But in the past two games, he has 10 receptions for 141 yards.
After catching eight passes for 114 yards in his first game against the Jets, Gronkowski was held to two catches for 27 yards in last week's victory against the Dolphins.
"We've had pretty good chemistry since he got here," New England quarterback Tom Brady said. "It usually doesn't take too long with a guy like him. I think any quarterback could throw him the ball and look good. He's that kind of athlete. The kind of catches he makes in traffic, he's tough, he's physical, he's everything you look for.
"It's just more of getting him involved, getting back into shape and understanding what it takes to play a football season. That's part of the challenge of any player coming back when they've been off. The more he's in there, the better it seems like it's going for him."
Gronkowski set an NFL record last season when he became the first tight end in league history to catch 10 touchdowns or more in three consecutive seasons. Against the Jets, Gronkowski recorded his 10th 100-yard receiving game, breaking the franchise record that was held by Ben Coates.
Allen said he expects to get a shot at covering Gronkowski again at some point Sunday in New England, but he didn't know if he would draw the assignment for the entire game the way he did two years ago.
By now, Gronkowski is used to just about everything a defensive coordinator can throw at him. He has been covered by linebackers, safeties and corners at different times throughout his career.
"They always have a good defense and they always have good schemes going into games," Gronkowski said. "I've got to prepare for anything — any coverage, any zone and any guy that will be covering me. I've just got to prepare and be ready for anything."

This week sees the world premiere of Christopher Mihm's latest independent film, The Giant Spider. As many of you know, Chris (Captain Euphoria on TrekBBS) has been producing homages to old Drive-In B-Movies for several years now, at the rate of about one a year. He's had quite a bit of success with them, as they routinely win awards and are shown at conventions and film festivals around (and occasionally outside) the country. Here is the trailer for The Giant Spider: [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejDnbWC2ehI[/yt] And here is Chris's website. This year I get to attend the premiere in person for the first time. As a bonus, Chris has invited me to be a guest on his pre-premiere podcast, which will be recorded tomorrow night. I'm looking forward to it, since his podcasts are always a blast.
We're recording it tonight. I'm leaving to catch my plane in a few minutes. I'm not sure how long it will take for the podcast to make it online-- probably a week or so. I'll keep you posted. The DVDs are now available for pre-order and will probably start shipping later this week.
Looks fantastically awful Are these films available for rent from anywhere, like i-tunes type thing? Oh hey, I just found one of your reviews on his site RJ.
^^ Tell me about it. That's pretty much the idea. The elements of awfulness from the old drive-in B-movies are the DNA of Chris's films, like the palette of colors a painter may use. Not to my knowledge. As far as I know, you can only see them on DVD, or if they happen to be shown at a film festival near you. Or if Dr Cryptosis is on a local channel, because he has shown some of them. Yeah, Chris loved my "home-made" cookies analogy. Well, I'm back and I had a great time. The podcast was a lot of fun and was more than I expected. When my cab arrived, I was ambushed by a guy with a camera, which I assumed was one of Chris's friends fooling around (they do that )-- but it turned out the podcast was being covered by the local ABC affiliate. They interviewed Chris and myself and a couple of other out-of-towners who were there for the podcast, and they filmed part of the podcast. The TV guys were real nice. I got to make my "support independent creators" speech. I don't know if or when any of it showed up on TV (I tend to doubt it did-- the next day there was a horrible accident in St. Paul in which two kids were killed-- I'm sure they didn't have time to bother with human interest fillers). I got to meet not only Chris, but his wife and his friends Rhuby and Haider, who host the podcast and who participate in the movies (on-screen and behind the scenes). Very warm and hospitable people; I felt right at home from the moment I appeared in the driveway. I also got to meet several of the actors briefly, and one of the actors, Dan Sjerven (veteran of several of Chris's movies) not so briefly. He gave me a lift back to Minneapolis to save me cab fare because I was "a guest in his city." He was a real sweetheart. Pretty much the first thing he said when we met was to ask about the Marathon bombing. Seeing the movie, The Giant Spider, on the big screen in an old-fashioned theater was fantastic. The place was packed; some of the women dressed up in period gowns and such. I got just about everybody's autograph-- not the spider, though, who was played mostly by Chris's son's pet tarantula. And, of course, the movie was a hoot. As usual, it was set in the same universe as the others and several of the characters are carry-overs from previous films (e.g., General Castle from House of Ghosts). In fact, this one could almost be considered a direct sequel to Terror From Beneath The Earth, considering the origin of the jumbo arachnid-- which helped to get us straight into the monster action. The plot this time involves a local reporter who has just asked his fiancee to marry him-- and is interrupted to cover the giant spider story. When the army fails to stop the monster, Dr Edwards (seen previously in Terror) and his colleagues come up with a plan for the reporter to risk his life to save the town. Is that final scene in the church a wedding or a funeral? As always, the humor and B-Movie imagery (the giant spider attacking a drive-in theater is a classic), is there to serve a genuine story about believable and likeable characters. As I've said in the past, the thing that really makes Chris's films work is the sincerity-- these are loving homages, not parodies, and the characters are always of central importance. So if you like those old movies and wish there were more of them-- buy this. Just as Steampunk evolved from a desire to see more work in the vein of Verne and Wells, Chris has genetically engineered a genre built from the DNA of old-school drive-in movies.
Six of them are available for rent from Amazon. Giant Spider is not available yet, but that's because it just came out last week.
I missed doing the podcast, as I wasn't able to make it to MN til Wednesday. I hear you guys had fun, though. As always, the premiere was a blast. LOVED the call-back to a rather popular set of characters from the first two movies. I also took home the set of cards featuring the call-backs, and the flashlight Cookie used in the previous movie, House of Ghosts. I wish I had known you were going to be there. Next time, seek me out. I'm always there.
Will do. I figured you'd be up at the table, but the place was kind of a madhouse after the show. But I definitely plan to return next year if I can. The podcast was definitely fun. I just wonder if we'll ever get to see the footage that Nick and the camera guy took (I can't remember his name).
It was a blast having you both at the premiere and I'm glad you guys liked the film! I'm very proud of the final product! Also, here's the news story: http://kstp.com/article/stories/S3045396.shtml The podcast should be available around the 15th of June!
Hah! That's awesome. Nick got to do his story. I just wish they had included my independent creator speech; that would have tied in with that new bill they were talking about. I wonder if Nick could give you a copy of all the video they took. That was a great night. Thanks again for having me, Chris. I can't wait for the Podcast.

After being a very cocky winner of the first game of croquet, I came in dead last in the second game. I would like to say that they all ganged up and kept knocking me off the field but that would have meant I was anywhere near them in the first pace. The higher you are, the farther you fall. Oh well, I lovely day of flappers, straw hats, and good times.
Downside: I now have a ton of cheese leftovers and no willpower to keep from eating it. Would it be wrong to eat an entire wedge of manchego like a slice of watermelon?

Italian Sunday Gravy
Vegetable oil | 1 Tablespoon | |
Sweet italian sausage | 1 Pound | |
Hot italian sausage | 1 Pound | |
Onions | 2 , chopped medium | |
Garlic | 12 Clove (60 gm), minced | |
Dried oregano | 2 Teaspoon | |
Canned tomato paste | 6 Ounce | |
Dry red wine | 1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs) | |
Canned diced tomatoes | 28 Ounce, drained | |
Canned tomato sauce | 28 Ounce | |
Bone in country style spareribs | 2 Pound, trimmed of excess fat | |
Flank steak | 1 1⁄2 Pound | |
Chopped basil | 3 Tablespoon |
1. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add sweet sausage and cook until well browned and fat begins to render, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to paper towel-lined plate to drain, then place in slow-cooker insert. Repeat with hot sausage.
2. Cook onions in sausage fat over medium heat until well browned, about 6 minutes. Stir in garlic and oregano and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook until paste begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in wine and simmer, scraping browned bits from pan bottom with wooden spoon, until wine is reduced, about 3 minutes. Transfer to slow-cooker insert and stir in diced tomatoes and tomato sauce.
3. Submerge spareribs and flank steak in sauce in slow-cooker insert. Set slow cooker on low, cover, and cook until meat is tender, 8 to 10 hours. (Alternatively, cook on high for 4 to 5 hours.)
4. About 30 minutes before serving, transfer sausages, ribs, and flank steak to baking sheet and set aside until cool enough to handle. Shred ribs and flank steak into small pieces, discarding excess fat and bones; slice sausages in half crosswise. Use wide spoon to skim fat off surface, then stir sausages and shredded meat back into sauce. Stir in basil and season with pepper. Serve. (Leftover gravy can be stored in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
Make Ahead: The recipe can be prepared through step 2 up to 2 days in advance. After reducing the wine in step 2, add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and browned sausages to the Dutch oven and simmer over medium-low heat until the sausages are cooked through, about 12 minutes. Refrigerate the sausage and sauce mixture in an airtight container until ready to use. When ready to cook the gravy, warm the sauce and the sausages together over medium heat until heated through and transfer to slow-cooker insert. Proceed with step 3.

Webworms under control
ST. MARYS - The application of 5,850 gallons of pesticide in St. Marys has brought the webworm infestation under control.
Exterminator Matt Ashcroft of Tawa Tree Preservation of Ottawa sprayed 4,050 gallons of low toxic pesticide on city land and 1,800 gallons on private property. The service cost the city $8,775, mayor Greg Freewalt said during a city council meeting Monday.
"The issue is pretty much taken care of, but we will investigate further to determine if more treatment is needed," he said. "We'll definitely do a followup."
The city agreed to eradicate the pests after residents living near the city-owned Weston Woods made a plea for help two weeks ago. Residents on Vine and Beech streets said the worms moved from the woods onto their properties, destroying landscaping.
Webworms are caterpillars about an inch long. They are named for the large web-like cocoons they spin in trees. Every four to seven years the worms have a "population explosion" that can last two to three years, Ashcroft said.
In other critter-related issues, the city wants to reduce the number of squirrels. The animals have caused frequent power outages.
Council's electric committee last week agreed to look into changing the city's ordinance to allow live trapping of squirrels within city limits during hunting season, Sept. 1 to Jan. 31.
The committee intended to present the amended ordinance to council Monday; however, members are still working out legalities with the Ohio Division of Wildlife, council president Dan Hoelscher said. They need to define who can trap, where they can trap and what can be done with the animal after trapping.
"We have to follow Division of Wildlife guidelines," he said.
In other action, councilman Patrick McGowan made a motion to amend the codified ordinance stating the city needs to notify the public of meetings through only one venue. Currently, the city notifies the public via a bulletin board in the municipal building.
McGowan recommended the city post the meetings on its website and in the newspapers, in addition to the bulletin board.
"The problem is, not everyone can check the bulletin board, not everyone reads the paper or has a computer, so we need to broaden the scope," he said.
Law director Kraig Noble said posting in two areas doubles the chances of a mistake. He said if it's posted on the website, it should come with a disclaimer.
Council voted five-to-two to send the issue to the streets and sidewalks committee for further discussion. Council chose the streets and sidewalks committee because McGowan is a member of that committee, and they have no specific committee for communications.
Councilmen Michael Kleinhenz and Dennis Vossler, both members of the committee, voted against the measure, saying further discussion was not needed. The meeting was set for 5:15 p.m. Monday.
In first reading, council suspended the rules and passed an emergency ordinance to assess a property owner the cost of demolishing a building.
The Gates building, formerly located at 110 S. Main St., cost $25,624.48 to be razed and removed. The cost will be placed on the tax duplicate of building owner Kalvin Schanz.
Freewalt told council members state funding to the city is down about $100,000 from last year.

American women move overseas for school, work and mostly, love. Most have children. By the time they are ready to reach out for help, the abuse has been going on for years. Afraid, alone, unable to speak the local language, isolated and threatened by the abuser, they reach out for help and contact the Americans Overseas Domestic Violence Crisis Center via our toll free number. Americans overseas were omitted from the Violence Against Women ACT, VAWA, so we must fund this life saving program.
By raising $10,000 in the Minutes for Moms campaign we will ensure that American moms in crisis will have access to a case manager or advocate for 10,000 minutes, approximately six months of toll charges.
The project serves 500 women per year empowering them to find alternatives to a life of violence so their children grow up in violence free homes with their self-esteem in tact with the hope of stopping the cycle of violence in future generations. Their main method of contacting the organization is via the international toll free hotline 866-USWOMEN.

Farm equipment maker uses PTC software to design massive grain drill
PTC, a Needham-based firm known for its product lifecycle management software, said new customer Great Plains Manufacturing has used PTC software to design and build a large grain drill that greatly increases crop yields.
The new drill, known as 3S-5000, is 50 feet wide and can plant a wide range of crops three times faster than conventional drills, which may be only 30 feet wide, PTC said in a press release.
As old age thins out the ranks of US farmers even as the global population expands, it is crucial that the remaining farm operations use equipment that's far more efficient than earlier plows and drills, the release said.
Great Plains Manufacturing's 3S-5000 not only places seeds more efficiently but also plants them deeper; the result is deeper roots that make crops more resistant to drought, PTC said.
"Using PTC software, Great Plains Manufacturing drives value from the rich, complete 3D definition of its products and is able to design and deliver better equipment through stronger, more efficient manufacturing processes," Mike Campbell, an executive vice president at PTC, said in a statement. "Great Plains is among the innovative companies that we work with helping to transform how products are created from concept through manufacturing, service and retirement. We enjoy working with them as they continue to design cutting-edge, innovative equipment to address the dynamic changes the farming industry is seeing."

The Horse Forum
- Horse Training
- - *headstrong horse*
*headstrong horse* I have a quarter/ throuroughbred OOTB.He is really headstrong and I always have to keep a tight rein on him. This is quite tiring, and my hands tend to hurt afterwards. He does not know how to collect. People have been reccomending side reins, and I intend to do that soon. In the walk, his natural gait is fast, and he is very relaxed and I can have a looser rein. But if I ask for the trot, it's like jamming on the gas. I can't have a short rein because he gets faster and faster. Give an inch, he takes a mile. Same goes for the canter. When we are on the trails, I will canter towards the barn (our trails are on a loop and I don't canter home), and he takes an extremely long time to stop to try to get back to his buddy faster. This is a big danger- my friend (experienced rider luckily) galloped him, and asked him to walk halfway down the trail. He did NOT stop like he was asked, and kept going (at a slower pace though). He stopped once he reached the fence to the pasture where his buddy awaited. My friend was in the two point position, which did urge him on, and we had never galloped him before, so I truly cant fully blame him. Regardless, that was unnaceptable. I know he was a throughbred and they were trained to pull on the reins, but we have to knock that habit off. Please give some suggestions that might help. |
sounds like he could use a learning session on how to flex his neck, and break at the poll. When you're pulling on a horse's rein, they should lower their face, not pull it up in the air. it also sounds like he could use a good STOP cue.. Not a One Rein Stop but an actual stop cue. there is only one way to fix a buddy sour horse-- take him away from his buddy. TB's are absolutely NOT trained to pull on the reins either. |
Thanks. Would you mind explaining how to train them to flex their necks and break at the poll? Yeah, we are working on the stop cue on the lunge line. As far as the buddy sourness, I can't seperate them very well, only to the point where they can see eachother, but not touch, and when I did that, they were still attatched by the hip. |
You can work on buddy and barn sour. You can hand lead them somewhere out of eyesight. Leave one at home. Make them face away as the buddy's ride off the opposite way. Tie to a trailer instead of a hitching rail all together. There's options Posted via Mobile Device |
as for the flexing at the poll, when you pull the reins you want him to bend his neck not pull away from you, or throw his head up in the air-- to achieve this, I would also do the bumping technique. he will bend his head down farther and farther the more you bump him.. you don't want to be bumping straight back, but in an upward type motion.. I would get him backing up, when bumping him. This will show him you want his head down.. for the buddy sourness, he is attached at the hip to his friend, because he knows you're not the leader, and you can't make him listen to you so he does not. You need to show him you're the leader, and his attention needs to be on YOU! Get his attention, every time he calls for his buddy, I would make him do something to get him focusing on me, weather it be pulling his head in my direction, or lunging him a few circles. He needs to know You're in charge, and what You say goes, and he needs to pay attention, and Respect that. If he doesn't respect you, he doesn't see you as the leader, and won't listen to you. |
How does he lead? How soft is he normally, say, with his buddy close by? It sounds to me, from what you've said, like he needs to soften up a bit and you need to be clearer and firmer in order to get his attention away from getting back to his buddy and to his rider. To soften him, try working on the ground with just the lead rope and halter. He needs to respect pressure and learn to flex. Start by standing to his side, and pulling the lead rope towards you. Make him flex his neck so that his nose is all the way to his side. You want to get him to a point where he will follow the pressure so well that it's like he's just following your hand. Do this on each side, and then do it in the saddle- pull his nose around to your stirrup. Also, what kind of bit do you use on him? When you're riding him and he gets strong in your hands, try to bump him with the reins, or wiggle/ see-saw them. When you pull back and hold the pressure, it gives him the opportunity to brace against you and ignore it. But, if you're bumping or wiggling the reins, it makes it so that he can't brace or ignore you. Imagine someone trying to get your attention while you're distracted, either by a task or in deep thought- which works better, grabbing and holding your arm or poking it continuously? You don't need to yank or anything, just a consistent 'tap' on the reins, until you feel him give a bit. Then immediately let go. The problem is that his mind is so preoccupied with getting home and seeing his buddy that he's ignoring/ forgetting his rider, so you need to give him a reminder that you're there and he needs to focus on you. What do you do when you want him to stop? How do you ask him? I would suggest that when you ask for a stop, you sit deep in the saddle. You may have to exaggerate it at first. It helps to take a deep breath and exhale when you sit. If he doesn't stop right away, then you use a voice queue ("whoa") and then if even that doesn't work, use your reins. See-saw them to get him to soften a bit if he's bracing, and then turn him/ flex his neck to the side in a one-rein stop. |
I used to (partially) own a horse who did the same thing. Sadly, I was very young and didn't know how to properly ride, I made her iron-mouthed and she gave me iron-hands, I've ruined a lot of horses since then because I would grip the reins so hard. Often when people have horses who become hard-mouthed, their first option is to go for a stronger bit like a tom thumb or a twisted snaffle. Gain leverage so you can add more pressure without having to wear out your own hands. But the best way to fix the problem is to go back to the basics and teach the horse at what pressure you want them to react. Does it take 30 pounds of pressure to slow down, or does it just take picking up slack in the reins? If you've been asking every time to slow down by immediately using 30 pounds of pressure, then that's what you've taught the horse to respond at. I retrained an iron-mouthed horse first by doing lateral flexion and then teaching him that when I pick up slack on the reins, he needs to drop his nose and back (and this was a very pushy, dominant horse that would toss his head to any kind of pressure). When you teach lateral flexion, timing is absolutely crucial. You have to pick up on the rein just enough to take the slack out, and when he turns his head, drop the rein before he stops turning it, you have to be lightning fast for him to understand that turning is what gets the pressure released. If you drop it as he stops turning, you could actually be teaching him to not turn his head to the pressure (LFMF). When you can pick up on the rein and have him bend his head all the way to his stomach, then you can practice backing him up by just taking the slack out of both reins. The way I teach this is by the CA method: give the hindquarter yield and turn him round and round and round, and when you feel him turning smoothly with good momentum, pick up on the reins just enough to take the slack out and stop the hindquarter yield. If he backs up even a step, let go and pet him. Keep practicing that until you can back him up 4 or 5 steps, then just pick up on the reins and see if he will back up to that. If I could train my horse to do it, you can definitely train yours. Also, a kind of emergency way of slowing down your horse if you're riding him and he's just not slowing down for you, pick up on one rein and just turn him in a circle. It's very difficult for horses to go very fast if they're going in a circle, so you can teach him what speed is comfortable by turning him in a circle whenever he goes too fast, that way you're not constantly pulling him back. |
Sorry just realized you probably don't know how to give the hindquarter yield XD but in case you don't, yielding just means they move that body-part away from you. So if you ask for a hindquarter yield, this means when you tap your whip in the air at their hip, they would rotate their hindquarters away but keep their front feet relatively in the same spot. The way I teach hindquarter yield is I stand at the horse's shoulder and look sideways at the horse's hip while tapping the air with the whip. If the horse doesn't move, then I tap the horse's hip. As soon as the horse takes a step sideways, I stop and back off. Then look sideways and tap again. When the horse can move their hindquarters around just by tapping the air, then I practice by just looking sideways at the horse's hip to move their hind end over. The reason this works well with teaching the horse to back up is because it gets the horse in "moving" mode, and also gets them soft. If you're have to really push the horse around into the yield, then you're also going to have to push them back when you ask for the backup. But if they're turning softly and willingly with a lot of energy, then when you pick up on the reins, the horse will more easily follow them backward. |
288 Attachment(s) Hi & welcome! Of course I understand totally why you feel the need to keep those reins tight, but I don't think this is helping - it is desensitising him to the pressure from the bit & 'nagging' him. So, agree with others that I'd take him back to the basics & teach him to yield laterally. Especially Laffee. I think it's very important to *teach* them to yield, before just trying to make it happen - you're more likely to get into a fight & create more resistance, or unbalance the horse if you just try to reef their head around, especially when it sounds like he maybe hasn't learned to yield to pressure well. *I also think it's important to rule out/treat physical probs that could very well be contributing - teeth, bit, back, saddle, feet... - before working on the training. In teaching him to yield, I'd stick to a halter, for now at least, especially as he's gained a bad attitude about the bit. After you've taught him to yield well in all ways, including his head laterally to the rein & hindquarters over, then I'd start teaching him in the saddle, first at a stand still, then a walk, etc. Get so you can walk on a loose rein & reach for one rein to slow him, bending to a stop instead of pulling two reins. Remember to reinforce - quit the pressure - as soon as he responds & only gradually ask for more/quicker, etc. When you first start doing this in a trot & canter, I'd start out in an enclosed area, such as an arena, where you don't have to worry about him running away with you, so you don't feel the need to hang on the reins, but you can just go with it & ask for a bend & be confident to release the instant he slows - so reinforce & teach him that's what works. Re the 'buddy sour' business, I think one step at a time & I'd be getting him going well at home before taking him out, but doing this should also help build your relationship & his trust & respect in you, so he's happier to go out with you too. |
Racehorses are trained to lean into the pressure, and go faster when pressure is applied. Same with TWH show horses for that matter. You don't need to be galloping/cantering or anything until this horse is retrained from what I read. Get someone there to help you, that is going to be best. |

About this Book
Modern flavours and fragrances are complex formulated products containing blends of aroma compounds with auxiliary materials, enabling desirable flavours or fragrances to be added to a huge range of products. The flavour and fragrance industry is a key part of the worldwide specialty chemicals industry, yet most technical recruits have minimal exposure to flavours and fragrances before recruitment. The analytical chemistry of flavour and fragrance materials presents specific challenges to the analytical chemist, as most of the chemicals involved are highly volatile, present in very small amounts and in complex mixtures.
Analytical Methods for Flavor and Fragrance Materials covers the most important methods in the analysis of flavour and fragrance materials, including traditional and newly emerging methodologies. It discusses the capabilities of the various analytical methods for flavour and fragrance analysis and guides the newcomer to the most appropriate techniques for specific analytical problems.

Finds of the Week – Nov 28, 2007
posted in Dotnet/.NET - C#, Links, Programming, Silverlight |
I took a break from blogging last week for the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. Here are the Finds for this week.
- Just in case you have not heard, Visual Studio 2008 has been released (ScottGu). I installed the released version earlier this week and everything looks good so far. The first thing I noticed was the very quick load time compared to 2005.
- Silverlight 1.1 is now 2.0. By Tim Sneath.
- Dan Fernandez listed the top 15 things to love about Visual Studio 2008 Express.
- Service Pack 1 for .NET Framework 2.0 is available. By Guy Barrette.
- Aaronontheweb shared 5 Hot ASP.NET Tips and Tricks for the week of 11/20/2007. By Aaronontheweb.
- bloggingdeveloper wrote a nice article on how to compress ViewState.
Software and Tools
- Odiogo can make your blog talk. By Mads Kristensen.
- I have been a long-time user of MSN Money Porfolio and stock charts but lately I really liked the stuff Yahoo! has been adding to their Finance section. Their new Flash-based stock chart is the best in its class. My favorite feature is the ability to drag left/right to go back/forward in time. Also their quotes are now streaming (AJAX)… meaning anywhere you see a price quote, it will be automatically refreshed. Real time quotes are available for as an optional service as well.
- To track disk space usage, my tool of choice is Windirstats. Windirstats is Open Source.
Tech, Windows Mobile, Gadgets
- Google has just released the beta version of My Location, a service that allows GPS like functionality with Google Maps on your mobile device without a GPS. It doesn't work for me on my Samsung i760 though. I always get this error message: "Your current location is temporarily unavailable".
Looks like many others are getting the same error as well.
And Now, Something Different
Be careful where you put your cellphone.

WTB 325iT Wagon, 5 speed, Sport Pkg Will Travel
Looking for a clean e46 Touring
Must haves: 5 speed Sport Package RWD Sunroof Well-maintained Plusses: Low mileage Cold weather package I'm a mature buyer with cash willing to travel for the right car. (I'm located in northern NJ.) Not particular about colors, but I am willing to be patient to get a clean car with just the right options (passed up an otherwise perfect wagon go because it didn't have a sunroof.) |
Still looking.
Avincent check this out:
I was told by locals he is a real stand up guy and the car is great. http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hn...715175687.html |
Cool, just figured I'd pass it on.
WTB Wagon
I'm deploying soon and am considering selling my '01 325i, 5speed, cold weather pkg, sport package, sunroof, 108k, bone stock drive train, lowered a bit, new paint (satin roof), m3 bumper, etc.
If your interested I'll give you a full run down. Good luck with your search. Mike http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...pse732b73b.jpg |
Nice car. A few quick questions. Is the paint black, or a dark blue or something. What color is the interior? Can you give me a sense of what kind of major work was done: clutch? cooling system? suspension? fuel pump? And a ballpark price? |
The car has:
-5 speed - previous owner had the clutch replaced fairly recently. -Sun roof. -Suspension and brakes have all been replaced. -108,000 miles. -Drive train is bone stock and unmolested. -Eibach springs - alignment in spec. -Pre-facelift M3 rep front bumper. -M3 rep mirrors. -style 137 wheels, front tires are 225's at about 75%. Rears are 255 with 15mm ecs spacers tires have about 4000 miles on them. -Iphone connector - I ran it up through the center console. -I have all the service records from the first owner going back to 2001 about $9500 in receipts just for maintenance. -It has the oem rear pull over cover with dog net. -The spare and all the tools are all in tact. -I just put a brand new hella oil level sender in it. -Oem bmw rubber floor mats. -all windows, locks and door handles work. -Pulley all recently redone. -Interior is Tan/cream colored. It has heated sport seats with adjustable leg bolsters Its in pretty good shape. It has a bit of normal wear tear on the drivers bolster, and a couple nicks here and there but over all I'd give it a 8/10. Brand new A-pillars, Carbon wrapped trim, LED interior light kit, BMW OEM short weighted shift knob. -Exterior - is 9.5+ Gloss black new paint. The roof, accents, and trim are egg shell black with clearcoat not spray bomb. The tails and the markers are somewhere between eggshell and semi gloss finish also with clearcoat. -Looking for somewhere between $8-9K. I still have a loan out on it but can pay it off and have the title in hand in 24 hours. http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/c...r/IMG_2298.jpg http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/c...r/IMG_2304.jpg |
Damn that makes me wanna a 325, nice wagon.
323i 5 speed wagon here. Tons of maintenance done. Recent clutch, shocks, wheels/tires, fluids, plugs, belts, cooling system, alternator, battery, new sunroof, list goes on!
Sport Package Homelink Cold Weather package - heated seats Xenon head lights Dinan Muffler ZHP shift knob 545i short shift kit 166k miles BBS LM REP wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport a/s tires |
Is this a trend with the matte black roofs on these wagons?
Both very nice cars, but I'm holding out for something a little newer and with lower mileage. |
I also removed my roof rails at the same time to gain a few MPG's. |
As you can see, there are two in this thread.
I find e46 wagons plenty rare, but to each his own. I prefer the utility of the roof rails for bike, boards or a box, but again a matter of personal preference. GLWS. They're both solid wagons that'll make the new owners very happy. |
I'll keep my eye out for you, too!
I'd love to see that army green one with the plasti-dip peeled off. I bet it's lovely in Orient Blue. |
True dat. Orient blue > Camo green.
But your wagon is the one that has me holding out for one that's closer to 50K miles than 100K. I was in Detroit a couple weeks back, talking BMWs with one of the guys there, and he made me feel better by agreeing that the sunroof is a deal breaker for him too. His argument to his sunroof delete purist friends: Sure, you're saving 30 pounds without a sunroof, but what about the 40 pounds around your gut? |
You've got a super clean low mileage e46 wagon with a 5 speed and sports package.
(...and a sunroof and cold weather package: A guy can dream, can't he?) I've got money. Let's trade. |
Damn. all these wagons make me want one. Any near Florida
Coco. If you just *want* one, you're better off buying a sedan or a coupe. Much more to choose from.
I've got kids and a dog and it's either a wagon or a dog-forsaken SUV. |

Called WeFab, it features tons of great Beatles references, from the Magical Mystery Bus to a Penny Lane sign, all arranged in the shape of an apple. In all, there are 62 icons that relate to Fab Four history and 23 icons that symbolize specific songs. Some can only be cracked by die-hard fans.

I think the sound from the double flange is the best but the small double flange didnt fit that well so i did this.
Cut the back flange (NOT THE STEM) off the large Bi Flange, the sq is great with this tip and i don't have to worry about the back flange being too big to enter the ear canal. I dont have to insert them far for the seal so i dont get any itchiness. The advantage is i get the sound characteristics of the large bi flange tip, but the ease of fit of a single flange. |
Update, still too large for my ears, got sore after a few minutes. It was still worth a try.

I've been a Grado fan for a long time, had magnum V2's and now V4's, also the new V5 driver in various wooden cups. I have tried every headphone I could afford but nothing came close to the magnum V2's except the V4's , my V2's had replacement drivers that I really suspect were NOS HP1000 drivers The magnum X in wood is bad news folks, almost am radio like, just awful (mahogany, cocobola, limba.) Over the years I've tried every thing to get to that magic HP100/Magnum V2 sound.
Anyway the only headphone to come close to Grado realism was the HE-5LE, but it shined this bright spot on the upper midrange, it was like a pronounced glow, nothing sharp just a tonal imbalance.
Well just last week I tried the HE-500, this is it I think. I know its the honeymoon period, but these are like Grados without the distorted short cutted bass. I really think I don't need Grados/magnums any longer, technology has finally caught up to the foundation Joe Grado laid down many years ago, finally someone built a modern headphone with Grado magic. The only problem is they take a healthly amplifier (and I like tubes $$$.) So I am curious if anyone else has tried this headphone before I invest in an good tube amp for these orthos?

Spina bifida is a type of birth defect called a neural tube defect. It occurs when the bones of the spine (vertebrae) don't form properly around part of the baby's spinal cord. Spina bifida can be mild or severe.
The exact cause of this birth defect isn't known. Experts think that genes and the environment are part of the cause. For example, women who have had one child with spina bifida are more likely to have another child with the disease. Women who are obese or who have diabetes are also more likely to have a child with spina bifida.
Your child's symptoms will depend on how severe the defect is. Most children with the mild form of spina bifida don't have any problems from it.
In many cases, children with meningocele don't have any symptoms.
Children with the most severe form of spina bifida often have spine and brain issues that cause serious problems. They may have:
During pregnancy, you can have a blood test (maternal serum triple or quadruple screen) and an ultrasound of the developing baby. These tests check for signs of spina bifida and other problems. If test results suggest a birth defect, you can choose to have an amniocentesis. This test helps confirm if the baby has spina bifida.
After birth, a doctor can usually tell if a baby has spina bifida by how the baby's back looks. If spina bifida is suspected, the doctor may do an X-ray, an MRI, or a CT scan to see if the defect is mild or severe.
Most children with the mild form of spina bifida don't need treatment. Children with meningocele may not need treatment either. But children with the most severe form usually need surgery. Sometimes surgery to correct severe spina bifida can be done before a baby is born.
A child who has hydrocephalus will need surgery to put in a drainage tube called a shunt. It relieves pressure on the brain by draining excess fluid into the belly. This keeps the swelling from causing more damage to the brain.
Experts such as physical therapists and occupational therapists work with children who have severe spina bifida. The work starts soon after the child's birth. These therapists can teach parents and caregivers how to do exercises and activities with the child.
Some children may need a brace, a wheelchair, or other aids. Children with bladder control problems may need help using a catheter each day to prevent infection and kidney damage. To help prevent bowel problems, parents usually begin working with the doctor or nurse on managing bowel care as soon as the child starts eating solid food. As children with severe spina bifida grow, other treatments and surgeries may be needed to manage problems that arise.
There are many ways you can support your child:
Remember that your needs are important too. Take good care of yourself so you can stay healthy and have the energy to enjoy your child. Make time for activities you like, even if it's just for a short while each day. And reach out to family, friends, and support groups when you need help.
Before and during pregnancy, a woman can help prevent spina bifida in her child.
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.

Dual Bootstrapped 12 V MOSFET Driver with Output Disable
Replacement Parts
Suggested Replacement Parts :
Pinout identical, but electrical specifications, package and temperature range may vary
Rochester Electronics is the only authorized source of Analog Devices' products that have previously been discontinued or have become obsolete. Product availability should be checked directly with Rochester Electronics.
Product Details
The ADP3120 is a dual, high voltage MOSFET driver optimized for driving two N-channel MOSFETs, the two switches in a non-isolated synchronous buck power converter. Each of the drivers is capable of driving a 3000 pF load with a 45 ns propagation delay and a 25 ns transition time. One of the drivers can be bootstrapped and is designed to handle the high voltage slew rate associated with floating high-side gate drivers. The ADP3120 includes overlapping drive protection to prevent shoot-through current in the external MOSFETs.
The OD pin shuts off both the high-side and the low-side MOSFETs to prevent rapid output capacitor discharge during system shutdown.
The ADP3120 is specified over the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 85°C and is available in 8-lead SOIC and 8-lead LFCSP packages.

It's been a long time coming, but Canada has an anti-spam law, and one, which sets a new world standard, and a tough, but fair, opt-in protocol for everyone in North America who sends commercial email and other electronic messages.
Yesterday, The Canadian Senate voted to accept Bill C-28, and today, December 15, at 13:00 eastern, it will be given Royal Asset of the Governor General of Canada, His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston.
It has been a long, arduous road to get to this point. In 1998, born as an offspring of U.S. anti-spam organization CAUCE, CAUCE Canada came into being.
Our mission? To get an anti-spam law passed in Canada.
Over these dozen years, there were fits and spurts along the way, with private member's bills like that of Dan McTeague, and Senator Oliver, and several others. In 2004-2005 CAUCE played a prominent role in The Federal Task Force on Spam with full hopes of a law being forthcoming.
Years passed, and despite the final report of FASTF being readily accepted, and in fact setting standards world-wide as the seed for other laws, regulations and industry best practices, still no law.
Then, in 2009, a breakthrough — a bill, C-27, was introduced. Over the course of the year, there was testimony by CAUCErs Matt Vernhout & Dennis Dayman to parliamentary committee. There was support. There were naysayers. There was misinformation right up to the last minute, and there was grassroots use of social media.
There was heavy lobbying against the bill, and there was Conservative Minister of Industry Tony Clement who stuck to his guns and resisted attempts to gut the bill. That session of parliament came and went, and in 2010, the bill, slightly amended to deal with some technical issues, was re-introduced. Senders, industry, receivers, politicians from all parties, mandarins, and CAUCE were all in agreement: Canada needed a law, and C-28 wasn't just good enough — it was great. C-28 now sets a best-of-breed world standard.
To all my colleagues worldwide who have helped this effort in every way possible, I extend my deepest gratitude and most profound thanks, particularly to Scott Hazen Mueller whose visionary thought lead to the creation of CAUCE in 1997.
We have had many board members come and go along the way, but CAUCE founding members Mike 'der Mouse' Parker, John Levine, JD Falk, and Chris Lewis stuck with the organization through highs and lows; through it all, with solid support and determination, and they deserve special mention for 12 years of work. Our newest additions, Dr. Joe St. Sauver and Shaun Brown provided sage guidance in the final stretch. Gentlemen, I thank you all, as do all Canadians (whether they know it or not) for your help to get us here.
CAUCE must also share congratulations with many from Industry Canada: André Leduc, Richard Simpson, Michael Binder, Jennifer Kealy, Shari Scott, Andy Kaplan-Myrth, Serge Presseau, Janet Difrancesco, and many others - please forgive me if your names are forgotten in my excitement to write this - your support and work are decidedly not.
My friend Tom Copland of the Canadian Association of Internet Providers, CAIP, was a stalwart supporter of this bill, and he too merits our thanks. Of course, The Right Honourable Tony Clement who was nothing less than fantastic, for understanding the Internet well enough to have a vision, and a Twitter account, @TonyClement_MP which I abused mercilessly.
CAUCE has an incredibly talented and diverse board, with legal experts, top-notch markers, malware & botnet research elites, all faced with no shortage of work ahead to see that the law is properly implemented, and applied.
Someone recently said C-28 renders CAN SPAM obsolete. Just so, but there is still much work for us to do, to promote a harmonized legal régime throughout North America and the Caribbean, and internationally. CAUCE will continue to be there, nagging, cajoling, pleading, advocating and demanding that the governments of the world put into place legal protections for all users of the Internet.
Governments, Politicians and Bureaucrats take note: We are your brothers, your mothers, fathers, friends and sisters. We are not consumers, we are Internet users. Respect us for that, do your duty, and protect our right to enjoy our connective technologies unsullied by the harassment of abusive, unwanted communications in all its manifestations. Your job is to draw distinct lines, well overdue, to stop rampant insanity perpetrated upon us all by the rapaciously greedy violators of our fundamental right to privacy.
The net is a place where commerce is done, but it is far more so a place where friends meet, people fall in love, students learn, dissidents agitate for political change, artists create, and folks live an enriching part of their lives. C-28 and laws like it help to protect this invaluable resource, our worldwide shared commons. Today, C-28 made all this a little more possible, and I couldn't be happier or more proud.
One down, so many more to go! Onwards!

Congratulations to all at CAUCE and Industry Canada. Remember this is the first step.
1. Anti spam/malware law
2. Enforce
3. Fine just and proper
4. Prepare your judges for what is to come.
Looking forward to the first results in 2011!

CHRISTIAN FORMATION – 10:15 a.m.- 11:05 a.m.: We welcome you to our Sunday School classes!
Classes and Locations*:
Godly Play, ages 4-third grade, in the Godly Play room, next to Chapel (first room at the top of the stairs) Goldy Play was introduced this year for our children ages 4 years through the 3rd grade. Godly Play is quite a change .. both in content and classroom set up — from our previous program. The children approached it with caution and wonder. With the work of the Holy Spirit their caution has turned to anticipation and their wonder has expanded ten fold. Over the next month they will continue to investigate the Old Testament with the building of the Tabernacle and the exile. They will also be introduced to the major and Minor Prophets as well as the organization of the bible.
During advent the children will take an in depth look at the Christmas story. The new year will bring an exploration of the parables. As we move forward we must extend a huge thank you to St. Frances church who has loaned us many of the manipulatives to tell these stories.
Middlers and Jr. High: 4th-8th grade; in the "Green room"
"Grow, Proclaim, Service!" This program aligns itself nicely with our mission statement "to know Christ and make Him known". This fall they have remembered Moses from his birth to the celebration in the wilderness as the Hebrew people were freed from Pharaoh; after which they spent several weeks remembering God's people as they spent their time in the wilderness. The fall unit concludes with remembering God's promised land as they will look at several stories from the book of Joshua.
The winter unit has three parts, first they will look at the peaceable kingdom. We see God's Son come into the world as a child to offer us peace. Next, they will look at stories from the Gospel of Matthew about living in the kingdom. Our kiddos will learn how Jesus teaches us how God wants us to live. Finally, they will investigate stories from the kingdom, the sower and the seeds, the Good Samaritan, the lost sheep and the forgiving father.
The spring will bring a set of lessons from the gospels and the book of Acts which will explore a new life, a new Paul and new believers.
High School: 9th-12 grade, in the Grey Room
In addition to discussion of the Sunday lectionary, the class has made several trips to the food pantry to help sort, stack and bag food for their clients. Looking forward to the next couple months, the class will select a book from the bible and begin an in depth study
Children and Our Worship Service.
Children's sermons will continue on the first Sunday of the month at the 9:00 service. Father David looks forward to sharing the gospel with the children of our congregation. The other Sundays, Children's Chapel is available during the 9 and 11:15 services (For ages 3-8).
Please contact Julie Vilas, , for more information on Sunday School, volunteering for any oart of our children's ministry.

Historical Society's "Slavery in New England" Sunday, March 26 at 2:30
Car Goes Off Road on Norfolk Street
Emergency responders from Holliston and Sherborn came to the rescue of a motorist who went off Norfolk Street and under the high tension lines around 1 p.m. Sunday.
The 67 year old female from Millis traveled nearly 70 feet off the road before striking a cedar tree. The woman was not believed to be seriously hurt.
The vehicle was far enough off the road and covered by debris,as to be almost unseen from the roadway. Officer Tim Heney investigated. Sherborn supplied their ambulance as Holliston's ambulance was deployed to South Street at the time of the mishap.
Posted in Police/Fire.
Hope the driver is okay. Kudos to HR for near real-time coverage.

The Horse Forum
- Meet the Community
- - Another from East Texas
Another from East Texas Hi all. I'm from east Texas (though a bit south of the other new member from East Texas). I live in the piney woods with my husband, two little boys, 4 horses, 2 dogs and 2 cats. I'm a veterinary technician--12 years in small animal practices and then worked as the head technician in an equine hospital--but I currently only do relief work so that I can be home with my little boys. I have 1 mare(QH) that I use for just pleasure riding and then 2 young geldings (Apps) that I'm getting ready to start under saddle. The fourth horse is our 31 year old POA that I bought for the kids to learn to ride on. |
Hello and Welcome!! |
Hi and welcome. Do you have any pics? Would love to see them. |
I haven't uploaded any pictures here but you can check out some here: www.eastex.net/tdittmar/horses.html Most of them were taken in the fall, but the ones at the top of the page are really recent ones of the old pony and my youngest son. |
hey there, it's good to have a vetty type person on here. I'm sure many of us will look forward to any advice you can give. Cheers A |

Why The Presidential Campaign Got So Mean Tuesday
Mirror image campaigns run away from policy. Phasers set on kill.
Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan was supposed to transform the 2012 presidential campaign away from what Politico called the "smallest" campaign ever into something grand and honorable.
Everyone said so.
"Mr. Ryan best guarantees the country will get the kind of philosophical debate worthy of a presidential campaign," wrote the Wall Street Journal's Gerald Seib.
"It's essentially a choice by Mitt Romney to say sure, let's have a big debate about the big choices facing the American economy and American spending," said CNN's John King.
The Obama campaign, too, stopped talking about horses and tax returns for a moment to lick its lips at the prospect of a policy debate Democrats believe they can win, and Vice President Joe Biden called Ryan to say he "looked forward to engaging him on the clear choice voters face this November," according to the White House.
Three days later, the campaign has reached its ugliest, most fevered moment. President Obama himself invoked an old story about Romney strapping a dog to the roof of his car. The Chairman of the Republican National Committee shot back with a jibe about Obama having eaten dog as a schoolboy in Indonesia. Biden suggested that Republicans want to put voters back "in chains." Romney demanded Obama takes his campaign of "division and anger and hate back to Chicago." Obama's spokesman called him "unhinged." The atmosphere bristled with conflict, Twitter spilled over with gleeful vitriol, and the campaign reached the sort of fevered political moment when it feels like anything can happen.
But if we didn't predict this moment, we should have. The logic of President Obama's campaign has always been, as a prominent Democratic strategist aligned with the White House told me this time last year, that "unless things change and Obama can run on accomplishments, he will have to kill Romney."
Romney's strategy had been different: To simply stay out of Obama's way as he fell. The race, his aides promised, would be a referendum on Obama; Romney was an obviously acceptable alternative, a success in the private and public sector who had avoided being pinned down on policy and, whatever his flaws, could hardly be labeled extreme. Obama, the focus-group tested story went, was a nice guy out of his depth. Romney was the solution.
The ferocity of Obama's assault on Romney's character had already rattled this plan. On June 18, after a top Obama aide suggested that he could be a "felon," Romney dropped the "nice guy" line.
"[Romney] has said Obama's a nice fellow, he's just in over his head," an adviser told BuzzFeed's McKay Coppins. "But I think the governor himself believes this latest round of attacks that have impugned his integrity and accused him of being a felon go so far beyond that pale that he's really disappointed. He believes it's time to vet the president. He really hasn't been vetted; McCain didn't do it."
The last month has alternated between jibes and Romney's central logic of focusing on the economy, the only obstacle between the campaigns and a full-on mudfight. The nomination of Paul Ryan has, finally, removed that obstacle. Ryan's nomination instantly turned the race from a referendum into a choice, and gave Romney his own parallel to the economy: The Ryan budget.
The campaigns had not been, to this point, parallel, but now they're dark mirror images.
It's not that Romney doesn't believe in Ryan's budget; it's not that he doesn't think it's defensible and, indeed, that Americans will ultimately be convinced of its wisdom. But Obama's aides, likewise, believe their man saved the American economy, and they point with pride to a tepid recovery that, they argue, would have been far, far worse without his stimulus. That they feel they can win these arguments in private, on debaters' points, or in the history books, though, doesn't mean they want to make them the subject of a presidential campaign. Obama still doesn't want to talk about the economy. Romney doesn't want to talk about Medicare.
And so they have found something else to talk about: one another.
- The White House refuses to deny a report saying Trump administration officials gave the House intelligence chairman classified information.
- The controversial HB2 "bathroom law" in North Carolina was partially repealed, but LGBT activists say the repeal legislation still allows discrimination.
- The disgraced former president of South Korea has been arrested. Park Geun-hye was forced out of office earlier this month in a corruption scandal.
- The trailer for the new film version of Stephen King's "It" has dropped and the general consensus is that it will make you defecate your pants 🤡

The Columbus Crew has signed defender Josh Williams, a native of Akron and Cleveland State University product, for the remainder of the season. The transaction was approved prior to Wednesday's roster freeze. Per club and league policy, no further terms of the deal were disclosed.
The 6-2, 192-pound Williams was invited to play in three of the Crew's exhibition matches vs. college teams in April. He then returned the Cleveland Internationals of the USL Premier Development League for its 2010 season, where he also spent the previous three campaigns, and logged 630 minutes in seven games, recording one assist.
"We have had Josh on our radar since the beginning of the season and we got a look at him a a few friendlies," said Crew head coach Robert Warzycha. "He is a physical and versatile player who can play any position on the back line and we look forward to integrating him into the team."
Williams, 22, was a four-year starter at Cleveland State where he captained the team during his junior and senior years. During his tenure at CSU, he earned many accolades including Horizon League All-Newcomer Team his freshman year, Horizon All-League Tournament Team his Junior year and DI All-Ohio and All-Horizon First Teams his senior year.

Nice posts. I should make clear that I'm pretty old (66) so the brightness is probably lost on these old ears. AIso, I only listen to classical/orchestral so things like bass texture are lost on me as well. And I wouldn't pretent that what's good enough for me should be good enough for all, though I stand by the contention that phones of the DT880/HD650 etc are probably good enough for most people, even head-fiers, if they don't let themselves be sucked into the "more expensive is better" or "he's got it and I want it" syndromes. Also, I don't want to entirely minimise what spending more (wisely) can bring. The LCD-2 was a beautiful phone, and I once wrote that it was in a different class to the HD650, which it is. But there's a tendency here to hyperbolise (is that a word?) differences, often with military terms like "totally destroyed", "blew out of the water" etc, which gives the impression the differences are immense when in fact a casual listener may not even detect them. This is especially true of amps, where experience tells me the differences can't possibly be of the order being suggested (we won't even get into headphone leads and interconnects). In any case I just wanted to draw attention to some of the inexpensive diamonds lying unnoticed at our feet while we gaze off enviously into the distance at LCD-3s and HF6s etc.
hifimanrookie, I appreciate your free-flowing prose but I must admit, as a traditionalist, I do find it a bit hard to follow at times. Do you think just for us old fogies that you could clarify just a little, or at least not use texting language quite so much? I really would like to follow exactly what you're saying.
