Text: AP Microsoft is skewering Google again with scathing ads that say as much about the dramatic shift in the technology industry's competitive landscape as they do about the animosity between the two rivals. Google has evolved from an endearing Internet startup to an imposing giant running Web and mobile services that vacuum intimate details about people's lives. Despite repeated management assurances about respecting personal privacy, Google has experienced several lapses that have resulted in regulatory fines, settlements and scorn around the world.

"Appear! Daizyuzin!" (?) "Invoke, Daizyuzin!"
Daizyuzin (大獣神 Daijūjin?, Great Beast God): The combined form of the five primary guardian beasts, who first combine into the Beast Tank Dino Tanker (獣戦車ダイノタンカー Jūsensha Daino Tankā?) and then transform further into Daizyuzin. Rather than a mere robot, Daizyuzin is actually a physical incarnation of the Ruling God of the five tribes. As such he has his own will and will occasionally give challenges or suggest the right actions for the Zyurangers to help on their quest to be real heroes.
First appearing in episode 6, Daizyuzin was shown to Geki during a vision of a post-apocalyptic future that Bandora would bring about if she were victorious. Under the instruction of Barza, Geki sought out the Dinocrystals (the key to combining the guardian beasts into Daizayujin) and after freeing his comrades from the trees Dora Sphinx had trapped them in along with several children, the five Zyurangers combined the guardian beasts into Daizyuzin to defeat both Dora Sphinx and Grifforzer before the children Dora Sphinx had imprisoned could be cut down by a construction crew.
When Burai was revived and given the Sword of Hellfriede, Daizyuzin told Geki to kill Burai. Geki refused and Daizyuzin was forced to punish him for letting his personal feelings override his duty as a Zyuranger. All was soon resolved when Geki finally managed to reach Burai's heart and Burai's tears destroyed the sword whereupon Daizyuzin officially announced that Burai would be the sixth Zyuranger. Prior to Burai's redemption, Bandora had learned of a prophecy of Daizyuzin's defeat and Grifforzer, Lamie Scorpion, and Burai worked together to hurl him into a lava pit as a solar eclipse had cut off Daizyuzin's power. Fortunately, the prophecy had only foreseen Daizyuzin's defeat rather than his death and after using the energy of the lava to reenergize, Daizyuzin returned in time to stop Dragon Ceasar from destroying the city while under Burai's control. After the destruction of Dora Talos and the death of Kai in the finale, Daizyuzin trapped Bandora and her lackeys in a golden vase and banished them back into the depths of space.
In battle, Daizyuzin wields the Mammoth Shield (マンモスシールド Manmosu Shīrudo?), which can fire energy beams from its eyes and the Dinosaur Sword God Horn (恐竜剣ゴッドホーン Kyōryūken Goddo Hōn?), which he uses in his Super Legendary Lightning Cut (超伝説雷光斬り Chō Densetsu Raikō Giri?) finisher. He can also fire laser beams from his eyes, lightning from his crown, or energly blasts from the cannons on his back. Despite being a god, Daizyuzin was far from invincible as it was revealed during the battle with Satan Franke that in the initial battle with Dai-Satan, Daizyuzin's true form had been split into three lesser aspects (Daizyuzin, Dragon Ceasar, and King Brachion). After the Zyurangers performed a ceremony at an ancient alter where they "gave voice to their mission" Daizyuzin's full power was restored, enabling him to fight the new and more powerful Dokita-Dora Monsters on an equal level as well as to combine with Dragon Ceasar and King Brachion to form Zyutei and Ultimate Daizyuzin,
Daizyuzin would later reappear to lend a hand in the battle against Emperor Daidas, lending his power to energize GaoKing in Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai.
Guardian Beasts
The five core guardian beasts are the patriarchal gods of the individual tribes. Like Daizyuzin, they are physical incarnations rather than mere robots and have various innate sacred powers.

Bigger and stronger than the other primary Guardian Beasts, it is able to vaporize giant Dora Monsters with its Tyranno Sonic, a blast of Sonic Energy fired from its mouth, and can stand on its tail to deliver jump kicks to its enemy. During the battle with Dora Sphinx in episode 5, rather than let Geki pilot him, Tyrannosaurus instead sent Geki into the future where he was confronted with the barren wasteland Bandora planned to turn the Earth into unless the Zyurangers learned to make their hearts as one. When Tyrannosaurus is called upon, he comes from under the earth. Forms Daizyuzin's head and body. First introduced in episode 2 and later helped out in Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai.

It is equipped with the dual Tricera Cannons on the tip of its tail and its two horns can be shot out on chains to ensnare giant opponents. When Triceratops is called upon, he comes from a desert area. Forms the left tread of DinoTanker, and both Daizyuzin's and Gouryuujin's left legs.
Guardian Beast SaberTiger
See also: Saber-Toothed Tiger Dinozord
"I summon the Guardian Beast SaberTiger!"
"TigerRanger! Guardian Beast SaberTiger! Unite!"
The Guardian Beast SaberTiger (守護獣 サーベルタイガー Shugojū SāberuTaigā?) is Boi's Guardian Beast and the god of the Daim Tribe. First introduced in episode 3. Its running speed exceeds that of all the other Guardian Beasts. It also has a mighty laser gun called the Saber Gun on its tail and can slash opponents with its claws. When SaberTiger is called upon, he comes from a jungle area. Forms DinoTanker's right tread and Daizyuzin's and Gouryuujin's right legs.
Guardian Beast Pteranodon
See also: Pterodactyl Dinozord
"I summon the Guardian Beast Pteranodon!"
"PteraRanger! Guardian Beast Pteranodon! Unite!"
The Guardian Beast Pteranodon (守護獣 プテラノドン Shugojū Puteranodon?) is Mei's Guardian Beast and the god of the Risha Tribe. First introduced in episode 3. It is the only Guardian Beast with flying abilities, and its flying speed can go as high as Mach 2.5. It fires Ptera Beams from its wings. When Pteranodon is called upon, she comes from a volcano. Forms Daizyuzin's chest and DinoTanker's back. For the toy, her feet detach and form the barrels for DinoTanker's cannons.
"Fusion, Dino Misson! Beast Tank DinoTanker!"
When the five core guardian beasts first come together, they form into Beast Tank DinoTanker (獣戦車ダイノタンカー Jūsensha Dainotankā?) which attacks enemies with its dual Beast Tank Cannons, or with lightning blasts from the eyes of each Guardian Beast called the Beast Tank Storm. When assuming the form of Daizyuzin; DinoTanker's cannons fold in to switch out with the hands, its front treads raise up to become the legs, Pteranodon detaches from the back and flies around to the front, and Tyrannosaurus' face folds into its chest to reveal Daizyuzin's head.
Later history
Super Sentai World
Summoned by TyrannoRanger, Daizyujin returned to fight alongside fellow robos Fiverobo, Jet Icarus, Dairen'oh, and Muteki Shogun, to defeat the giant Emperor Daidas. Super Sentai World
Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai
Years later, Guardian Beast Tyrannosaurus appeared as part of an army of robots, animals, jets, machines and vehicles belonging to the first 25 red heroes. As anticipated by Soukichi Banba (Big One), they were led by Akira Shinmei (AoRenger) and Chief Counsellor Naoyuki Miura to help fight Lost Highness Rakushaasa.
Daizyuzin, as one of the past Sentai Giant Robos, imbued Hyakujuu Gattai GaoKing with its power to defeat the giant Lost Highness Rakushaasa. Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai
When GokaiOh and Gosei Great faced the Black Cross Colossus, the mecha of the first 33 Super Sentai, including Daizyuzin which possibly manifested from a toy version like DaiDenzin and the Variblune, appeared to back them up. When the Black Cross Colossus summoned several giant villains to oppose them, Daizyuzin fought alongside Abarenoh and Galaxy Mega to destroy Danger Cabinet-Director Chirakasonne. After all the giant villains were destroyed, all 35 mecha weakened Black Cross Colossus with a combined attack before GokaiOh combined with the Variblune to become Goren GokaiOh which destroyed the Black Cross Colossus with the Gokai Hurricane: Cassiopeia finisher. With the battle won, the 33 past Super Sentai mecha vanished. Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
Super Hero Taisen Z
Guardian Beast Tyrannosaurus was part of a group of Tyrannosaurus Mecha manifestations which appeared around the Gabutyra head of Kyoryuzin as its Miracle Combination prepared the Zyuden Brave Strike End Rider Kick attack which destroyed Demon King Psycho.

- "Zyuranger!"
- ―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement (toy)[src]
Through the powers of the Phantom Ranger Keys, the Gokaigers can re-create and summon the Greater Power of any Super Sentai team in existence. In Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters vs. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: The Movie, the Phantom Ranger Keys reproduced the greater power of the Go-Busters, which allowed their respective mechas to transform to other previous Super Sentai mechas through Megazord keys. Gai used his Megazord key to transform GoZyuJin into Daizyuzin.
Additional Formations
- Guardian Beasts ZyuMammoth, SaberTiger, and Triceratops could combine with Dragon Caesar to form Gouryuzin.
- Daizyuzin could combine with Guardian Beast Dragon Caesar to form Zyutei Daizyuzin.
- Daizyuzin and Dragon Caesar can combine with Beast Knight God King Brachion to form Ultimate Daizyuzin.
Video Game appearances
Zyuranger video game
DaiZyuzin appears in the Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger video game. He appears in a Pong-style minigame with Dragon Caesar. In the main game, each of the five stages contains ten scattered coins which will replenish the player's life gauge completely when fully collected, as well display a still of the character's respective Guardian Beast and its specifications
- Daizyuzin was the first Sentai Mecha to use a motif of prehistoric animals and was also the first to be comprised entirely of mechanized animals rather than vehicles. Liveman's LiveRobo included the mechanized Land Lion, however the other components-Jet Falcon and Aqua Dolphin-were both vehicles designed with animal motifs.
- Whenever the Daizyuzin had to exhibit dexterity, the costume's large fists would be removed and replaced with simple silver gloves. Depending on the scene, only one of the gloves may have been swapped out at any given time.
- Daizyuzin and Guardian Beasts' cockpits are recycled versions from Jet Icarus' cockpit.
- Daizyuzin appears in three Sentai team-up events in a row:
- Gokaiger VS. Goseiger: Daizyuzin's manifestion appears in Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle.

There's a new group in Nevada, and its goal is to establish marriage equality in the state in 2016 or sooner.
Freedom Nevada, a nonprofit coalition, this month formed a statewide 20-member advisory committee that includes lawmakers, attorneys, religious organizations and equal opportunity organizations, among others.
"People have a fundamental right to form families," said Bishop Dan T. Edwards with the Episcopal Diocese of Nevada, which has taken "heat" for its position of this issue. "This is a matter of civil rights when it comes to state law."
Those on the committee will lay the groundwork to rally state voters to say "yes" in 2016 to a ballot measure allowing all couples, including same-sex couples, to have the freedom to marry.
The effort is modeled on similar work that has proved successful in states such as Maryland, Maine and Washington, where voters approved same-sex marriage ballot measures, organizers said.
In 2013, the Nevada Legislature approved Senate Joint Resolution 13 to amend the state's constitution to recognize all marriages, regardless of gender. The legislation would need to be approved by lawmakers again during the 2015 legislative session before going to the voters in 2016.
The committee will be doing the early legwork of educating the public about the freedom for any couple to be able to marry, said Ward Curtin, campaign manager for Freedom Nevada. Two years from now, the group hopes to have established a "full-scale persuasion and campaign organization," he said.
"The effort will get stronger and stronger as we get closer to 2016," said Sen. Kelvin Atkinson, D-North Las Vegas, who is on the committee, "... to make sure folks press a yes button in 2016."
The committee will guide Freedom Nevada to help spread the message statewide, said committee member and Assemblyman Elliot Anderson, D-Las Vegas.
"We want to make sure that we are getting out to every community," he said. "This is a nationwide strategy that has proven successful."
Rabbi Ethan Bair of Temple Sinai in Reno believes Nevadans will embrace same-sex marriage. But whether that happens through the court process or the state initiative to amend the state's constitution remains unknown.
"The organization invited people from different traditions and organizations to be their resources and allies in their communities as we kind of build this" for this inevitable change, he said.
A court case challenging Nevada's ban on gay marriage will be heard by the 9th U.S. Circuit of Appeals in September. Nevada voters in 2002 approved a measure on the ballot defining marriage as being between a man and a woman.
The coalition couldn't be reached for comment on Thursday.
On Wednesday, a federal appeals court ruled in a Utah case that states must allow gay couples to marry, finding the Constitution protects same-sex relationships. On the same day, a different federal court struck down the ban on same-sex marriage in Indiana.
The recent court rulings give proponents hope that change can come to Nevada even before 2016.
"I think it's making all of us optimistic," said Atkinson, who has been with his partner more than six years.
But just in case it doesn't happen, the committee will continue its work.
"Some people are ready to support the freedom to marry, and we are going to give them that chance," Anderson said.

Brilliant find…the more I hear from Irish President Michael D Higgins
the more I respect him…fantastic. -
PM price discovery!! This is how I read it.
The PM market has no limits on paper contracts; the manipulators can sell infinite paper into the market driving the price down to what ever level they wish; they could even sell to themselves to drive the price and thus no risk at delivery time; at delivery the physical PM is not there so any outstanding contract will be settled in FIAT cash; the FIAT supple has no limit so no problem settling the market at delivery. SO, the market has an infinite paper side to it backed by an infinite paper money supply, therefore the price can be held at whatever low level the manipulators wish; the wider economy priced in FIAT may observe inflation but the PM market is TOTALLY CONTROLLED.
How does this control ever break? -
I did it.
And I'm doing it w/ BTC.
So far so good.
I, mean, the objective is to give other people solutions for problems they think they have, in that giving is a beautifull instument.
O course Max, and brought in a few of friends, but some people absolutely insist on sitting on the fence, I have ran out of rhetoric for them. They can go dance in their dull fiat whereas I boogie with shiny tinkly toes.
@trooper dave, way I see it we are at peak silver production so the ?minsky moment (of no silver available) is still possibly years away. But as we all know it only takes a little more audience participation to take off that extra idsy bidsy bit of silver surplus tipping us into a major supply problem thus opening the Pandorum. Anyhows gives us all time for a few more orchestrated dips to convert extra fiat doesnt it. Isn't the Turd's take on it all that the price discovery/rise illusion has to be maintained, price fix to what is expected upto a point make it fit the charts kinda thing.

I am. Been giving silver at Christmas and birthdays for couple of years now, though
so far only to close family. ( I hate parting with it, but hey it's good to give something of real value )
Good little dip at present, Must take advantage of it , even if it's just a coin or two more. -
Higgins fully supports the US electoral process, which everyone knows is rigged? He made his career in politics and therefore has the right to the moral high ground?
What a loud-mouthed, two-faced Cunt!
Enjoy your special brand of Celtic slavery 😉

How likely it is that Chinese government will allow PAGE to carry out its mission and, to quote Ned Leyland, "allow the 'Spot Dog' shake off its 'futures handlers"? If this happens, wouldn't this drastically increase the cost of Chinese efforts to improve their gold position compared to other superpowers? It seems more reasonable for them to allow this ponzi scheme to go on until they acquire enough gold. This could take years! Any opinions on this?


text: Senate committee approves seat-belt bill By Phil Kabler February 19, 2013 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Senate Transportation Committee members unanimously approved a bill Tuesday to make failure to wear seat belts a primary traffic offense.Although the legislation has been introduced numerous times in past years, Committee Chairman Bob Beach, D-Monongalia, said he's confident the bill has momentum this year."I honestly believe the time has come," Beach said of toughening enforcement of the state's mandatory seat-belt law. "With the passage last year of the texting and cellphone bills, the timing is exactly right for this bill."Last year, West Virginia became the 41st state to prohibit texting on cellphones while driving. Texting became a primary offense -- meaning police officers can pull over drivers for that violation alone -- last July 1. Use of a hand-held cellphone currently is a secondary offense under that law, but becomes a primary offense this July 1.Beach said the timing is right to toughen the state's mandatory seat-belt law, currently a secondary offense, to make it a primary offense, consistent with texting and use of cellphones."This is about enhanced safety for the people of West Virginia, and those who travel through the state," he said. Division of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Steve Dale said the DMV endorses the legislation.If West Virginia makes its seat-belt law a primary offense, it will qualify for an additional $1.2 million a year of federal highway safety funding, Dale said.Besides making failure to wear seat belts a primary offense, the bill would also require all passengers to wear seat belts. Current law exempts passengers over age 18 who are not in the front seat of the vehicle.As drafted, the bill set a flat fine of $15 for violations, but the committee increased that to $25 per violation, to comply with the minimum fine permissible under federal highway standards.The bill would also allow exceptions for persons who have medical conditions that make it impossible or impractical to wear seat belts, such as casts or other medical devices, or for persons who are morbidly obese. That exception would require a certified statement from the individual's physician.The bill has to go through the Senate Judiciary Committee before it goes to the full Senate. Its prospects in the Judiciary Committee approval appear good: The bill's primary sponsor is Senate Judiciary Chairman Corey Palumbo, D-Kanawha.Reach Phil Kabler at email@example.com or 304-348-1220.

PALMER PARK, Md. (AP) - July 6, 2012 --
Police in a Washington, D.C., suburb say a 12-year-old boy is being charged with second-degree murder in the beating death of a 2-year-old foster child living with his family.The boy is being charged as a juvenile and his name is not being released. Spokeswoman Julie Parker of the Prince George's County, Md., police says the boy's father called 911 Tuesday night to report the girl was unresponsive. The man performed CPR on the child, but she was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Parker says an autopsy confirmed the child, identified as Aniyah Batchelor, died of blunt force trauma. The 12-year-old, who lives in Fort Washington, was charged Wednesday and made his first appearance in court Thursday. He is being held at the Cheltenham Youth Facility.

The big talking point Monday evening at the city council meeting centered on the city moving their Main Street offices to Norley Hall, Blue Sky Villa.
George Gibson, an architect working with KLJ, an engineering firm, was on hand to give a presentation on the proposed project.
Mayor John Shevlin emphasized that the $343,000 (estimated cost) project is "just being explored" at the present.
A committee, comprised of council members Wendy Judisch and Sandy Syvertson, along with Chief Gary Dent and Public Works Director Rich Anderson have yet to enter into a discussion or meeting with representatives of Horizon Lodge.
Gibson told council members that the building is in a good location, but will need some work.

I don't have the pattern in front of me but I imagine it is referring to a strip of fabric without any give or stretch that holds the gathering in place. I have also heard them called 'stay strips'. With a two-way stretch jersey, the maternity skirt would just stretch and not have the effect of ruching if they were not held with the backing strips.
Feb 23, 2012, 06.27 AMby kerryo
can any one tell me what is meant in the instructions when it talks about backing strips in the side seams? "Gather side seam edges of skirt panels between asterisks to 27cms. Lay the two skirt panels, right sides together, line up, pin and sew the side seams, catching backing strips along gathering. Press seams open but do not press gethering flat."
thank you

CHI::Stats - Record and report per-namespace cache statistics
version 0.55
# Turn on statistics collection CHI->stats->enable(); # Perform cache operations # Flush statistics to logs CHI->stats->flush(); ... # Parse logged statistics my $results = CHI->stats->parse_stats_logs($file1, ...);
CHI can record statistics, such as number of hits, misses and sets, on a per-namespace basis and log the results to your Log::Any logger. You can then parse the logs to get a combined summary.
A single CHI::Stats object is maintained for each CHI root class, and tallies statistics over any number of CHI::Driver objects.
Statistics are reported when you call the "flush" method. You can choose to do this once at process end, or on a periodic basis.
Enable, disable, and query the current enabled status.
When stats are enabled, each new cache object will collect statistics. Enabling and disabling does not affect existing cache objects. e.g.
my $cache1 = CHI->new(...); CHI->stats->enable(); # $cache1 will not collect statistics my $cache2 = CHI->new(...); CHI->stats->disable(); # $cache2 will continue to collect statistics
Log all statistics to Log::Any (at Info level in the CHI::Stats category), then clear statistics from memory. There is one log message for each distinct triplet of root class, cache label, and namespace. Each log message contains the string "CHI stats:" followed by a JSON encoded hash of statistics. e.g.
CHI stats: {"absent_misses":1,"label":"File","end_time":1338410398, "get_time_ms":5,"namespace":"Foo","root_class":"CHI", "set_key_size":6,"set_time_ms":23,"set_value_size":20,"sets":1, "start_time":1338409391}
Accepts one or more stats log files as parameters. Parses the logs and returns a listref of stats hashes by root class, cache label, and namespace. e.g.
[ { root_class => 'CHI', label => 'File', namespace => 'Foo', absent_misses => 100, avg_compute_time_ms => 23, ... }, { root_class => 'CHI', label => 'File', namespace => 'Bar', ... }, ]
Lines with the same root class, cache label, and namespace are summed together. Non-stats lines are ignored. The parser will ignore anything on the line before the "CHI stats:" string, e.g. a timestamp.
Each parameter to this method may be a filename or a reference to an open filehandle.
The following statistics are tracked in the logs:
- Number of gets that failed due to item not being in the cachecompute_time_ms
- Total time spent computing missed results in compute, in ms (divide by number of computes to get average). i.e. the amount of time spent in the code reference passed as the third argument to compute().computes
- Number of compute callsexpired_misses
- Number of gets that failed due to item expiringget_errors
- Number of caught runtime errors during getsget_time_ms
- Total time spent in get operation, in ms (divide by number of gets to get average)hits
- Number of gets that succeededset_key_size
- Number of bytes in set keys (divide by number of sets to get average)set_value_size
- Number of bytes in set values (divide by number of sets to get average)set_time_ms
- Total time spent in set operation, in ms (divide by number of sets to get average)sets
- Number of setsset_errors
- Number of caught runtime errors during setsThe following additional derived/aggregate statistics are computed by parse_stats_logs:

The Horse Forum
- Natural Horsemanship
- - Groundwork in the saddle(?)
Groundwork in the saddle(?) okay so after seeing the double Dan horsemanship guys perform I really want to teach my horse some stuff. Well to start I have 2 horses, and i want to be able to ride one of my horses and control the other horse from the saddle. (so I would be on my mare leading my gelding) but my problem is, how do I get him to follow me around Without the lead rope? Sorry If that doesnt make any sense:oops: Thanks so much! |
I would think you would have to do ground work with the one that you will be leading while riding the other one, get that one connected up with you first and then maybe try with a lead and then progress to the no lead.....I'm sure others would have a better idea than I do though..... |
It takes alot of time, consistancy and ground work. You have to make the horse WANT to be with you and not feel like he has to, which is what a halter often does. Spend alot of time with him. Do alot of back-up and come to me exercises (the yo-yo game to anyone familiar with parelli) Join-up techniques might even help. Guys who put on demonstrations like the one you described take years getting their horses to that level. |
okay thanks so much! I just thought I would try:lol: because I love to try new things. But I will keep working on it. |
Doing that kind of work while on the back of your other horse takes a bit of doing. The horse that you would be riding also needs to be really confident under you. You can't train a green horse on a green horse, they'll end up feeding off of each others anxiety and then you have two horses you need to control. Get your basic groundwork (on the ground) skills developed, it's a cool technique (on horseback) but basics are key especially if you're using a flag or rope. You need to get handy on the ground before in the saddle will be more manageable. |
Agreed lots of ground and trust must be established. Agreed with the others to do this you need a solid well broke horse which can give confidence to the green horse. Also need a well established role as a leader. I'd start with good respect work and join up exercises I'll post a video of me working with the colts and asking them to join up and follow at liberty. I use my body to draw them in I don't look at them in the eyes when I do look it's indirectly good places to focus your eyes are the neck,chest, or legs. I point my shoulder at their face/nose I reach my arm outward but lowered with a neutral hand. I did a little work before this to make my hand a bit or a target of interest it helps draw their attention when I want it. When I have their attention I will walk a few steps usually somewhat toward them or past them sometimes you have to ask a few times. Also I send them away and redraw their attention when they turn their back and rear to me I expect them to face me. Also Jet is usually more interested in me than Jackpot so I can often use Jet's body(the bay) to influence the movement I want in Jackpot (Dunskin) when I don't have his full attention I image the people that control on those horses at liberty must do something similar. When they come to me I reward with lots of praise you can build more and more on this as you get better. My adult horses follow me around everywhere now with much reasking even in crowded places. Just recently I've started working on doing what you want to accomplish its had its trials and errors but I'm starting to get ahold of it. Just the other day I took my horses out to the arena my friends had their 3 year old daughter with them I put her on Pepper while I rode Joy she just held on to the saddle horn and Pepper just followed me and Joy as we rode around the arena he could of easily wandered off if he wanted to but he stayed even right with me even when we trotted a little. So keep at it you can get there it just takes a lot of time and practice :D. Click links for videos let me know if I need to explain the body language any better I will certainly try. I hope they help you. PS: this is also great for catching your horses even when they don't want to be caught. Join up and follow Jet and Jackpot F0013A60-0C86-46B8-845D-17DDC9F8F808-2215-0000027B5C738A5A.mp4 video by catnoles | Photobucket Playing with them at liberty to get them to walk over obstacle together D09A38D9-EBA5-42D2-9A59-2E5A97507D61-5280-000003B7E499E3C8-1.mp4 video by catnoles | Photobucket |
I would try to follow a programme like Parelli or Quantum Savvy and get each horse really good individually first. then start working two together. it might take a lot of time but it'll be worth it Claire |
One of the things I used to like doing with my horses was to run milker calves in in the evenings. On the last cattle station I worked on before moving back to Canberra it was my job to do all the milking, which also meant running in the milkers to lock up the calves for the night. I used to like getting on one horse and take an other out with a 20 odd foot lead rope on a rope halter and once I found the cows and calves I'd use the horse I was leading to get the cows and calves going. So Id sit on one and send the other around the cows and get it tailing them. Milkers were good for this because the they are usually so quiet and know the score they pretty much walk to the milker yard themselves, usually; and by that time the horses were going on 6 or 7 years old, were going pretty good so they weren't much of a problem. The whole basis of what I was doing was the Parelli lateral lunging stuff. Its good fun give it a go. |

McDaniels faces adjustment as number one option |
by David Hood - Senior Writer - 2014-01-08 15:54:03.0 |
CLEMSON – K.J. McDanielsK.J. McDaniels McDaniels is 10th in the ACC but leads Clemson in averaging 16.7 points per game, and there is little doubt that he is Clemson's first scoring option. As a result, he is seeing opposing teams and coaches devise different ways to stop him from scoring, something that head coach Brad BrownellBrad Brownell "He will see even more difficult defense as people know him and understand him," Brownell said Wednesday. "He will have to adjust to that, and for the first time in his college career he will be the number one guy on the other team's scouting reports. He will have to get used to that, especially when we play teams multiple times. He will have to make that adjustment and I hope he will be ready for that." The Tigers opened ACC play with a win over Boston College last weekend, and play their first ACC home contest Thursday night when they play host to Florida St. in a 7 p.m. tipoff. McDaniels has a higher scoring average against Florida State (12.4 ppg) than he does against any other ACC opponent, but the Seminoles are better defensively this season than they have been over the past few years, according to Brownell. Brownell then said that McDaniel's improvement as an all-around player will show against teams like the Seminoles. "Certainly, the way teams are playing him talks about his improvement. He has worked hard on his ball skills," Brownell said. "He is better at shooting, and he is a guy that can put the ball on the floor and make a play for one of his teammates." McDaniels said Wednesday that he hopes he is ready for the challenge. "They (FSU) are one of the most athletic teams in our league and to go out there and play with that caliber of players is a good step for us. It's exciting for me personally," McDaniels said. "From what I've seen, they are a pretty aggressive team all the way around. They've got Ian Miller back and he's doing great for them. Okaro [White] is always doing good. I feel like they are better than they have been. They've been good the last few years, but I think this is one of the most elite groups they have. They are a fun team to watch and they are definitely going to be a fun team to play against." McDaniels smiled when asked if he is getting more attention from opposing defenses this season. "Most definitely, I've seen it. I just have to find a way to work around it mentally," he said. "I have to find other ways to score. It makes me better if the teams are having their eye on me. I just have to do other things for my team to help us win – go get rebounds, and just play tough." I asked McDaniels what kind of defenses he has seen, and he said they are playing him for every part of his game. "I feel like they are telling their players to play me straight up – to be ready for a shot or a drive," he said. "I feel like I need to shoot it more because sometimes they lay off. I feel like with the extra shooting that I've been doing that I'll be able to get a few shots off. I have to see through the defense before I can make a drive because they have two or three people back there waiting for me to drive to the basket. I have to find the open man and be able to make those plays. I've seen double teams, especially when I get the ball in the post. I just have to be able to kick the ball out for my open teammate so they can make the shot."

With it being a slow time of the year for the NBA I decided to look back on the New Orleans/Charlotte/OKC Hornets all time best players. It was tough, but I came up with three players at each position. Keep in mind that these picks are also from someone who did not start watching the Hornets until 1995. Thus these players are well for the most part the players I remember watching the most in my lifetime. Okay enough with the blabber onto the team. First up we got are the Point Guards.
Starter: Chris Paul (19.3 ppg, 10.7 apg, 4.7 rpg, and 2.4 spg in 345 games with Hornets)
Back-up: Baron Davis (15.3 ppg, 6.7 apg, 3.8 rpg, and 1.9 spg in 381 games with Hornets)
3rd String: Muggsy Bogues (8.8 ppg, 8.8 apg, and 1.7 spg in 632 games with Hornets)
This was the easiest choice for starter of all the positions. The best player to ever wear the white and teal Hornets jerseys is Chris Paul. And no matter what the future holds for him and the Hornets he will continue to be considered the best player in Hornets history. From the moment he stepped out on the court as a rookie in 2005 he demanded respect from his teammates and he was a leader. He has never once looked overwhelmed or confused while on the court. He has been a constant leader. In the history of the NBA there never has been a player with his leadership skills, quickness, speed, toughness, amazing ball handling, and in such a small body (6 feet tall) with the exception of the great Isiah Thomas.
Second place went to Baron Davis who led the Hornets to the playoffs five times. Third place is one of the faces of the Charlotte Hornets in the 5 foot 3 Tyron "Muggsy" Bogues, who is my personal favorite player of all time along with Michael Jordan.
Starter: Dell Curry (14 ppg, 2.9 rpg, and 40.5 3-pt% in 701 games)
Back-up: David Wesley (14.7 ppg, 4.7 apg, and 1.5 spg in 522 games)
3rd String: Eddie Jones (19.2 ppg, 2.8 spg, and 4.2apg in 102 games)
You may be wondering why Eddie Jones is third with such impressive stats? Well it is because he only played a season and half with the Hornets. Jones did make the all star team in his one full season with the Hornets and he also helped the Hornets to the playoffs. Wesley who played a small shooting guard standing only 6 feet tall with shoes on. But he knew his role on the team and always did the best he can, a true professional.
The starter at the 2-spot, Curry, actually only started 77 games in his 701 games with the Hornets. But Curry is first in franchise history in games played (701), points (9,839), FG attempted (8,559), FG made (3,951), 3-pointers attempted (2,294) and made (929). Additionally, Curry ranks third in Hornets' history in 3-point percentage (40.5%) and fourth steals (747). For his career, Dell Curry hit 1,245 3-points, good for 29th in NBA history. Curry may be the player who is most associated with the Hornets franchise.
Starter: Glen Rice (23.5 ppg, 4.4 rpg, and 44.4 3-pt% in 240 games)
Back-up: Jamal Mashburn (21 ppg, 6.6 rpg, and 5 apg in 217 games)
3rd String: Bobby Phills (12.3 ppg, 3.5 rpg, and 37.7 3-pt% in 133 games)
One of the best shooters in NBA history gets the starting nod at SF in the hardest decision at any position. Rice barely beat out Mashburn. Rice played three seasons with the Hornets and he never failed to average worse than 21.6 ppg, 4 rpg and made at least 42.4% of his 3-pointers. During the 1996-97 season, Rice had his best season as a pro averaging 26.8 ppg, 4 rpg, made 86.7% of his free throws and hit a staggering 47% (207-of-440) of his 3-pointers. That season, he led the league in 3-point percentage and his scoring average was third in NBA, behind only Michael Jordan and Karl Malone. Rice was simply spectacular that season, which included a All Star MVP award where he holds records of 24 points in the second half, 20 points in the third, and went 8-11 from three. He ranks first in franchise history in scoring average (23.5 ppg) and 3-point percentage (44.4%), and despite spending just three seasons with the team, ranks fourth in 3-pointers made (508) and seventh in points (5,561). Rice is one of the top 3 players in Hornets history despite only playing 3 seasons with the team.
In a close second is Jamal Mashburn. Mashburn led the Hornets to the second round of the playoffs and took the higher seeded Milwaukee Bucks to a games 7 where the Hornets lost. I still remember trying to imitate Mashburn's turn around fade away shot that I still consider one of the toughest shots in basketball, yet Mash always made it. In third place is the late Bobby Phills who was one of the best role players the Hornets ever had on their team.
Starter: Larry Johnson (19.6 ppg, 9.2 rpg, and 49.7 FG% in 377 games)
Back-up: David West (16 ppg, 7.2 rpg, and 48.7 FG% in 460 games)
3rd String: Anthony Mason (13.4 ppg, 10 rpg, and 4.8 apg in 236 games)
Another tough decision here, but I went with the 1991 #1 overall pick Larry Johnson. Johnson was dominant in the first few years in the league where he help lead the Hornets to two playoff appearances in five seasons. Each of those playoffs the Hornets were eliminated by Michael Jordan and the Bulls, once in the first round and once in the second. But what LJ did before any other Hornets player did was he was the first superstar for the Hornets. Johnson showed the rest of the NBA that a great player can win with the Hornets. Unfortunately for Johnson, back problems ended his career way too early.
The back-up PF is David West. West did not play much with the Hornets until his third season where he broke out with 17.1 ppg and 7.4 rpg in 34 minutes per game. The following two season West increased his averages as the Hornets went to the playoffs both times. The third stringer is one of the great power forwards of his time in Mason. Mason was a solid scorer, rebounder, and an exceptional passer for a big man.
Starter: Alonzo Mourning (21.3 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 3.2 bpg, and 51.2 FG% in 215 games)
Back-up: P.J. Brown (9.6 ppg and 8.8 rpg in 475 games)
3rd String: Vlade Divac/Elden Campbell
At the starting center position we have the second greatest Hornets player of all time in Alonzo Mourning. Only problem with Zo was he never got the attention he deserved because he was second overall in the 1992 draft behind some guy name Shaquille O'Neal. Thus Mourning was always second fiddle to Shaq. Along with LJ, Mourning helped lead the Hornets to their first winning season (44-38) in his rookie year and into the playoffs for the first time. LJ and Zo was the best front court duo the Hornets ever displayed in their 21 seasons in NBA. Mourning is also the centerpiece of arguably the best moment in Hornets history. During his rookie season the Hornets took on the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs as a #5 seed. After dropping the opening game at the Boston Garden, Mourning turned in an outstanding 18- 14, with six blocks in Game 2 as the Hornets snagged the home court. Following a 30-point win in game 3, the Hornets found themselves trailing by a single point in the dying seconds of Game 4. Faced with a return trip to Boston for a deciding game, they found Mourning at the left elbow and he buried a dramatic 20-foot buzzer-beater to clinch the Hornets' first-ever series victory and give the franchise its first, and maybe still its biggest, signature moment.
The back-up center is the constant professional and best role player a team could have in P.J. Brown. The third string was a tough one to choose for me so I went with both Vlade Divac and Elden Campbell.
That is it. The best Hornets players of all time. Can you think of someone that I forgot? Let me know. Hope you enjoyed it.

Justice of the Peace for a Witness
The signature is that of a Justice of the Peace in Virginia who witnessed an 1833 affidavit in a Revolutionary War pension case. The signature is not easy to read and unfortunately is different from the handwriting where he clearly writes and spells his name.

Guillaume de Gellone
d.28 May 0812 Gellone Monastery, Aniane Herault Languedoc, France
Family tree▼ (edit) m.
Facts and Events
Saint William of Gellone, also known as William of Aquitaine, (755 – 28 May (traditional) 812/4) was the second Count of Toulouse from 790 until his replacement in 811. His Occitan name is Guilhem, and he is known in French as Guillaume d'Orange, Guillaume Fierabrace, and the Marquis au court nez. William was canonized a saint on 1066 by Pope Alexander II.[1] He is the hero of the Chanson de Guillaume, an early chanson de geste, and of several later sequels, which were categorized by thirteenth-century poets as the geste of Garin de Monglane. Another early product of oral traditions about William is a Latin Vita ("Biography"), written before the 11th century, according to Jean Mabillon, or during the 11th century according to the Bollandist Godfrey Henschen.

1. Start by drawing the center veins of each leaf, which kind of looked like a long main line with an "X" through it. Sketch lightly with a pencil. Continue drawing these until the paper is full. See my small diagram.
2. Still using your pencil, draw the outside curved edge of each leaf as shown in the small corner diagram.
3. Using a fine tip marker such as this Stabilo set, draw parallel lines inside each leaf, taking care to start at the center vein and end at the pencil edge. Continue until the leaves are all filled in.
4. If large spaces are left, parts of a leaf could be added, coming in from the edge of the paper. When all are traced, erase the pencil guidelines around the leaf edge


text: Streetcar ride down St. Charles Ave. Cheryl DalPozzal / cdalpozzal crKnight Library - University of Central Florida - Orlando, Fla.: A ranked list of the best college bars in America would not be complete without the University of Central Florida's Knight Library. The general size of the establishment is impressive in itself; students have access to three full bars, a giant dance floor, a patio bar, and even VIP sections. Not a big dancer or drinker? Knight Library has darts, customized beer-pong tables, and corn-hole boards to get you entertained. Still not impressed? An Island Oasis frozen drink machine is the newest development to the bar. Knight LibraryThe Wagon Wheel - University of Kansas - Lawrence, Kan.: Jayhawks flock to "the Wheel" to join in on the fun, cheap drinks, and greasy pizza that this #3 college bar has to offer. The booths, walls, bar, and columns are all made of wood that are just begging to be written on, so bring a Sharpie to leave a mark that will remain even after you graduate. And if (and when) KU makes it to the Final Four of March Madness? The games are projected on the wall, outside in the patio area, guaranteeing a raucous time. The Wagon WheelBullwinkle's Saloon - Florida State University - Tallahassee, Fla. Since 1979, Bullwinkle's Saloon has been catering to the needs, and mouths, of the Florida State Seminoles. Bullwinkle's ranked so high on the list thanks to its convenient location to campus, live rock and roll band, massive dance floor, and outside double deck area. And for $10, students can drink as much as they want during the week. How can you top that drink special? Bullwinkles SaloonBourbon Street - University of Georgia - Athens, Ga.: Underclassmen are known to frequent this spot, chugging through power hours and dancing on slippery tables (be careful — some have been known to fall off). If neither swing dancing nor grinding is your thing, head upstairs for a few rounds of pool and cheap beers. Citysearch.comKollege Klub - University of Wisconsin - Madison, Wis.: You can't attend the University of Wisconsin, or even visit, without becoming a part of beer culture. Kollege Klub presents the ultimate Wisconsin college-bar experience, with a location right on campus. The Badgers customers spend their weekends fiending for the Klub's sought-after beer pong tables, "beer-n-shot night" (a free shot comes with your beer), and every Sundays' "Kountry Night," where you can bring your own mug and receive drink discounts. Kollege KlubBrothers Bar & Grill - University of Iowa - Iowa City, Iowa: Iowa City's Brothers Bar & Grill is a combination of a college bar and a sports grill with all the fixings you need for a good night: dartboards, pool tables, outside patio, and a massive beer selection including $2 Blue Moon drafts on Mondays, and $4 Keystone and Busch Light pitchers on Friday and Saturday nights. Sure, there's a cover charge on game days, but you'll make up your money in drink deals, like the $5 mug which you can fill up for $1 each time, and you won't suffer from FOMO, as this is where a majority of your fellow undergraduates will be. Brothers Bar and GrillThe TApp Room - Appalachian State University - Boone, N.C.: College students find the ultimate selection of craft beer at the TApp Room in the mountains of Boone, North Carolina. Beers on draft include Green Man Porter, RJ Rocker's Son of a Peach, and Dark Horse Scotty Karate. The TApp Room may not seem like much, but you'll be hard-pressed to find better drink deals. $2 bottles of beer are available to customers throughout the week! The only thing that the TApp Room is missing is a dance floor! The TApp RoomThe Tombs - Georgetown University - Washington D.C.: Staffed completely by Georgetown students and alumni, The Tombs knows exactly how to please a college crowd (as well as how to spot a fake ID when they see one). It might not be easy for lower classmen to experience the delicious food or DJs' tunes on the dance floor that the Tombs offers, but the experience is well worth the wait for that 21-year-old license. Make sure you save your heavy drinking for later in the night; you'll be less likely to spot a professor or two later on. TombsZuma Grill - Arizona State University - Tempe, Ariz.: Zuma Grill starts the countdown to the Top 10 college bars in America. Located half a mile away from the main campus of Arizona State University, Zuma Grill is notorious among the student population for 'Toxic Mondays,' a night full of music, dancing and cocktails. With drinks like the 'Snorkel,' a shot of vodka in a Red Bull, which is then shotgunned, and personal cocktail pitchers for $10, there is no question why Mondays are 'toxic' or why students love Zuma Grill. flickr/Nick BastianTop of the Stairs - Virginia Tech - Blacksburg, Va.: The Hokies do more than football and good food; they also know how to party. The Top of the Stairs, or TOTS, beat out the other nominated Virginia Tech bars for its karaoke, outside bar area, and general popularity among students. After consuming a few 'Rails,' their signature drink, a mix of gin, vodka, bourbon, rum, triple sec, and whiskey, you should watch your step. If you can make your way from the "top of the stairs," down to the street, you should be fine. TOTS is conveniently located right next to campus. Steven TatumPavlov's - University of South Carolina - Columbia, S.C.: Deep in South Carolina country, in Cocky the mascot's territory, is the busy college bar known as Pavlov's. USC students, a large portion of them Greek, take advantage of the warm, Southern weather on the patio at Pavlov's. The cheap drinks, like 50-cent shots on Mondays, draw in quite a crowd, but the lines move quickly, allowing everyone to drink and dance the night away. Pavlov's BarThe Dizzy Rooster - University of Texas - Austin, Texas: Yes – the one made famous, or infamous, by the cast of the Real World: Austin. If you're a college student looking to dance on a bar all night long, look no further than the Dizzy Rooster. You can get a jello shot anytime of the day for a mere $2, and maybe you'll run into co-owner season 15 bachelor, Brad Womack! flickr/Spontaneous ChaosThe C.I. - Ohio University - Athens, Ohio: Ohio U students certainly aren't limited in choice when it comes to choosing a bar to down a few (or more) drinks in. Athletes and those in the Greek scene tend to flock to the C.I. to take advantage of the photo booth and killer drink specials. Plus for only $1.75, and an $1 for refills, you can get a draft of beer, AND keep the "Get High With the C.I" cup. Facebook/The C.I.Salty Dog Saloon - University of Florida - Gainesville, Fla.: Anyone from Florida knows that the Gators are big on football and drinking. With a wide range of college bars in Gainesville, how could you choose the best? The Salty Dog Saloon, a 50-year old establishment, stands out in the crowd with its jukebox, 50-cent drink happy hour and every Sunday's 2-for-1 mimosa special. For less than $10, the Salty Dog's patrons can get the most booze for their buck. Salty Dog SaloonLike this topic?

De'Vonta Robinson's steal and driving lay-up with 14 seconds left in overtime gave third-seeded New London a wild 78-76 victory over No. 2 Woodstock Academy in the first ECC basketball tournament semifinal game at St. Bernard on Wednesday night.
The second game between top-seeded Ledyard and No. 5 Norwich Free Academy was suspended midway through the first quarter (the game was tied 2-2) due to a wet floor.
Officials at St. Bernard wet-mopped the court between games, but with a large crowd and a hot gymnasium, the court never dried and was too slick to continue. It will be resumed at 5 p.m. Thursday and theday.com will stream it live.
The Whalers, who lost twice to Woodstock during the regular season, overcame a 10-point halftime deficit and forced overtime on a basket by Keith Porter with four seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 69-69. Porter finished with 30 points to lead New London, which will be making its 10th straight trip to the title game, while DeAnte Bruton added 27, including 14 in the third quarter when the Whalers mounted their comeback.

On the Evaluation of Compound Options
Compound option valuation formulae give rise to the summation of a series of multinormal distribution functions. This paper presents an identity on sums of nested multinormal distributions of arbitrary dimension. We show that this identity generalizes some well-known low order identities for the multinormal distribution. We present three applications of the new identity to contingent claims valuation problems. The first and second applications show that by reducing significantly the number of integrals to be evaluated, faster and more accurate algorithms can be developed for implementing the Geske-Johnson American put valuation formula and the Roll-Geske-Whaley American call formula; the third gives new economic insights into the valuation of disaggregated coupon bonds.

KNOXVILLE WOMAN FOR SENATOR Present indications are that Senator Shields will be appointed to the supreme court bench in which event, the office of United States Senator would be vacant, and the vacancy would have to be filled by the governor. A movement was started yesterday in Knoxville to have Gov. Taylor appoint Mrs. L. Crozier French to succeed Sen. Shields. Mrs French has contributed several articles to the HERALD on political and educational matters, which makes this appointment of local interest. She has been prominent in many reforms in state laws, and is held in high esteem by Knoxville people, where she has spent many years of her life. Should Mrs. French be appointed, she would be the first woman to ever serve in the United States Senate. Mrs. Felton who was recently appointed in Georgia to fill out the unexpired term of Sen. Tom Watson will likely never take her seat in the senate, but will simply be given the title of senator with the salary for the few months of the unex

Recent Apple job postings allude to chip development effort in and around Florida
Date: Tuesday, April 16th, 2013, 07:00
Category: Hardware, News, Processors
If you're looking to design chips for Apple in sunny Florida, your dream may have come true.
Per 9to5Mac, Apple posted several job openings looking for both hardware and software engineers reveal that Apple is looking to begin its own chip development in Orlando, Florida.
Last week it was discovered that Apple is hiring software engineers to work on fingerprint technology at Authentec in Melbourne, Florida, which is about one hour south of the future site of the company's development labs.
The job posting are interesting as Samsung, which works with Apple to develop the custom chips used in iPhones and iPads, continues to compete with Apple in the smartphone and tablet space.
Tim Cook mentioned last May that the engine that drives the iPhone was produced in Austin, Texas, which many believe pointed to Samsung's chip development location.
The job listings range from 'front end design management' to '3D Graphics Micro-Architect', all of which were posted in recent weeks.
Notably, the area is already populated with relevant talent as it is home to popular semiconductor company/Apple chip partner Qualcomm which may be the reason for the location.
Apple currently hosts a small office for its "Latin America General Manager" in Coral Gables, Florida, some five hours south of Orlando, Florida, illustrating the Cupertino-based company's increasing presence in the Sunshine State.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.

Duffy Clown Mask
Item #: 16320 69,95 €incl. VAT, plus shipping
Delivery until 23.03. possible**
Duffy Clown Mask
Duffy had always liked his drink. Not during one single show had he ever been sober. It was when he started to screw up the acts of the other clowns of the circus, when his collegues slowly had enough of it. When they found him after the show with a bottle of beer in his hands, they decided to teach him a lesson. As you can see it left a permanent impression. The Duffy Clown Mask is hand painted with lots of attention to detail. A great full head latex mask that will look even creepier when you use some Film Blood / FX Blood 30ml and Zombie Latex Gloves to touch it up a little.

By Vicki Bentley, www.everydayhomemaking.com
A young mom writes:
I'm new at homeschooling – I have 2-year-old twins. I want to teach them and get them ready for preschool. Please send me info to help me start off on the right foot.
Another mom writes:
I have a 3½- year-old boy, a 2½- year-old girl, and a 7-month old baby boy. I've read the preschool article on the website, listened to the sessions on beginning homeschooling from the convention, read a few books and magazines, talked to homeschooling moms…but now that I'm really looking at schooling my children, I just get overwhelmed and don't know where to start. I can see the goal or vision…that my children will love to learn…to learn about God, to learn reading, math, problem solving history, art, music, and everything in between…but how do you start? They don't seem to even want to sit still and read a book…they just want to play with toys and pretend.
Vicki answers:
They are little; let them play with toys and pretend!
But you pick the toys, so you shape the play. Their play is their work – it may look easy to you, but it's not all easy to them, and it is developing their thinking and providing life experiences – sort of like hooks on which they can hang their future learning.
Provide them with stimulating, age-appropriate, developmental toys (not videos or video games, etc.). You might want to peek through the Timberdoodle catalog online for a few ideas. Discovery Toys also has a good line, generally speaking. Legos or building blocks, puzzles, and art supplies all help with thinking skills, while imaginary play (role playing or dress-ups or babies stuff) teaches life-skills. Your music can be educational and inspirational. And your everyday activities can be helpful for their brain and skills development.
For example, working puzzles is a pre-reading skill, while helping Mom set the table is a math skill (one-to-one correspondence). Having them help put away their things in an orderly fashion (which they won't be able to do yet, but can watch you joyfully walk through it with them) is classification and organization – science, math, and English skills.
Ruth Beechick has a super book called The Three R's of Learning. Valerie Bendt's book, Making the Most of the Preschool Years, has lots of preschool ideas. You might also look online at www.fiveinarow.com and peek at Jane Lambert's Before Five in a Rowguide, for some fun and educational activities based on classic kids' books from the library.
It is not uncommon for little children to seem uninterested in a read-aloud session, but don't let that stop you from reading to them! If your child will sit quietly for five or ten minutes as you snuggle and read together, that's super, but if not, read to her anyway while she plays quietly with blocks (or colors or dresses baby dolls or cooks…). She is absorbing more than you think she is! Also, try reading at a time that she tends to be quieter naturally, such as a morning wake-up cuddle time in your bed or a bedtime snuggle in hers. Or maybe your afternoon quiet time could always begin or end with a short picture book read-aloud.
Character training is a biggie at this age – Marilyn Boyer's Fun Projects for Hands-On Character Building has great, practical ideas for everyday moms like us. And her mommy book, Parenting from the Heart, has plenty of gentle encouragement from a mom of many. The Everyday Family Chore Systemhas ideas for including children as young as age two in diligence training (chores!).
If you think you may have a right-brained child or one who seems to learn a bit differently than you are comfortable with, Dianne Craft has some simple activities to stimulate healthy brain function – check her articles at www.hslda.org (Struggling Learners) and at her site,www.DianneCraft.com. Six of Dianne's 2007 workshops are available on tape/CD at the HEAV website, www.heav.org.
If you aren't confident that you know what's appropriate, check out Slow and Steady, Get Me Ready (with developmental activities for children from birth to age five) by June Oberlander. The Valerie Bendt book is very good. And if you plan to homeschool, I highly recommend you read Beechick's The Three R's of Learning, regardless of what teaching approach you utilize.
I don't know where you are located, but your local support group (or MOPS group) may have some field trips and activities geared specifically to the attention span and interest level of two-to-four-year-olds.
HOWEVER…Don't let what you see around you put pressure on you. Ask the Lord to guide you in being a joyful mother of children. My goodness – you have little ones! You have enough on your plate to just make dinner and get the laundry caught up! (That's why the Home Education 101 workbook has an entire chapter devoted to "Getting Dinner on the Table the Same Day You Homeschool"!). Let your babies be babies.
The bottom line: This season will be shorter than you think, so enjoy being a mommy!
