- - My horse spooks to everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My horse spooks to everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi I have 3 miniature horses. My first horse i ever got was a mini and his name is Rascal. I still have him, and I got him from an abused home. He is afraid of everything. When I got him he couldn't do anything and normally I am good with horses and good at getting them to do whatever I want. Well the other 2 I trained not to spook and this one is not getting it he is afraid of everything. Things he can not even see or things that make the litllest sound. He is also my show jumper and is afraid of crowds so I really need help with this horse. Any ideas on what I should do? |
lol this may sound kinda mean but when he spooks give him a good pop on the butt he'll think again before he does it next time. See some horses that spook for no reason see that they can get away with doing it its kinda like a bad habit you gotta break that bad habit some nice poppings are good. No its not cruel its just a way to teach him not to be scared. |
Assuming he is not in pain, and his eyesight is good. If you have access to a round pen, or small corral put him there. Let him get comfy, then do lunging. Work with him, brush him, spend lots of time with him. He needs to trust you before he can overcome his fear. Once he trusts you, you can help him, as he will look to you for guidence on fear. Now, start de-sensitizing him. First to small things, like the lead rope, a trash can in the pen, then a moving (rolling) trash can, then a plastic bag - first outside the pen, then slowly closer. If he panics, you back off, slowly work closer to him, try not to panic him, try to keep him in his comfort zone. This takes a lot of time, but it really works well. He learns not to be afraid, and/or he learns how to control his fear. Do everything you can think of to test him in his safe pen. Wheelbarros, water hoses, umbrellas, banging noises... Then take him out of his pen, and do the same thing. Eventually take him someplace around a few people, let him become accustomed to the noise of only a handful of people, then increase the people - slowly. When you take him out, you might take him with another calm horse, so he can see that whatever it is he is afraid of is not eating the other horse, so probably won't eat him either... This takes quite a bit of time, but really works. My friend has been doing this with an abused Mustang. She started at the end of Jan. He is now pretty much bombproof. He might jump in place on something that startles him, but all she has to do is say "Easy boy, it's ok." And he settles right down. He trusts her totally. Hope this helps. :) |
Something I do with my horse who is also a spaz is bring them for walks on the road or something. She feels more comforatble with me with her, so that helps alot. Once they are convinced that cars and other objects will not eat them, they will be better and more realiable with a rider. |
ok. first thing is to get him to trust you. i reccomend doing a join up. (look it up online for details) you have the horse trot or canter around you while you are in an aggressive stance. when the horse lowers its head, turns its ear, and begins chewing with its mouth, drop your body language and turn your back to him. he then should follow you everywhere. after that begin desensitizing. i dont believe in punishing a horse for being scared the first time. if you have ridden by something scary a couple of times and let him take a good look at it, then you can ride tight circles around it making him bend a lot for punishment. |
Instead, while I don't generally recommend flagging and such, I think a good course of desensitizing and "tarping" is what this guy needs. |
384 Attachment(s) This little guy needs more exposure. Reminds of a mare I had years ago, spooked at everything, even me brushing dust off my pants. I took her out into the world and let her see everything "scary". Within a few years, this mare was unspookable. |
Why whack a horse that has a natural flight element... bizzare! Takes time, patience, trust and tarp. You have some brill advice, just keep working. Mine is great, nothing bothers her, then cooling down last night she spooked at a pony...great! |
:roll: Seriously, as others have said, putting a horse through pain when it's having a natural fear response to something is only going to cause huge issues for the animal and in try the handler. |
haha do not pop him thats crazy. i would make an obstacle course for him it will be fun for both you and him. anything can be used like obstacle 1 car ... he must walk around car while car is off, then walk around when car is turned on, then walk next to car while moving up the driveway. obstacle 2 tarp. he must walk around tarp, walk over obstacle 3 buckets... put as many bucket as you have in some sort of design straight line zigzags anything... make him move through them. etc ect i did this with my arabian its alot of fun and it will help bring more trust between you two |

Get those plans into the city! Ours came back 3 times the first year with them wanting or needing different things. Haunts are not something they encounter everyday and it is a learning process for all. Be prepared for anything they might throw at you.
Best of luck to you!! It is the hardest, but definitely one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.

Charity Cutting Board – This beautiful end grain walnut with end grain maple border cutting board is called the Charity board in honor of my dear friend, Dr. Jonathon Powell. He is a pediatric oncologist who has devoted his life to healing kids with cancer. He recently ran a half-marathon to support this cause. I donated 2 of these boards to help him reach his goal. I'm so proud of my friend Jonathon! I can't imagine anything harder than having a child with cancer, so it's a real honor for me to support my friend in his life's mission. To learn more about Dr. Powell and what he is doing, see: http://pages.teamintraining.org/de/nikewhlf13/JonathanPowell#home
I LOVE this end grain walnut with maple border cutting board. It was a technical challenge to make but I believe it paid off. Interior work surface of Appalachian black walnut with an outer band of hard maple. Relatively large, almost square board. Still should be fairly portable, but I'd recommend adding feet to it. Add a juice groove if you will be doing carving. Dimensions (approx): 16 " X 17 1/2 " X 1 5/8 "

- - My stallion Blue
My stallion Blue 2 Attachment(s) Okay... no conformation judging on these lousy photos. I just wanted to get a couple of them posted so you could see him. His name is RHR Blue Eagle. He is a black fewspot Appaloosa. When I set up his page on my website I'll get better pics and hopefully his previous owner will let me use some baby pics. He's had 7 so far. All long legged athletic beauties. My favorite story is the one where a couple in CA bought a foal as a future trail horse for the wife. The husband who jumps noticed how willing he was to leap over logs and the like so he took it over. The following year they bought another one of his babies for her :D. He's not as tall as I thought. I think the owner told me when I saw him as a long yearling that he'd finish about 16.1 and it stuck in my head. He's really only about 15.2, will have to properly measure him. If you want to see some of his babies check out the 2010 and 2011 foal pages at Palisades. |
Handsome guy! Would love to see pics of his babies |
Very nice Appaloosa love his unique markings |
932 Attachment(s) He's nice. What are your plans for him? I think he'll look a.m.a.z.i.n.g once he's conditioned and in shape. And has a bath. :-) He throws very colorful babies! They are beautiful! |
Once he gets nice and toned and nice and clean LOL (can't wait to bathe my nasty bunch!) he's gonna be gawjus! and his babies are just darling. :) |
Blue has some gorgeous foals |
4 Attachment(s) Well my plans are to breed and get him broke to ride. I'm going to aim for jumping/ dressage. Of course my time and finances are limited but I'll do what I can. He definitely needs some conditioning and a big bath. Get him looking more like the STUD he should be. Here's a couple more pics... swear as soon as I pull out the camera he stops showing off. I ran out there because he was going up and down the fence talking to my mares but as soon as I showed up, back to quiet pony. I call him pony because my huge fence makes him look so small. |
Very handsome guy! |
I love the second head shot and the last one of him galloping |
Hes nice |

Wolverine lions club Comp Bog
I am writing this form to just let all who didnt know about this place. We made the trip up there with a copy of the rules and what good did that do! The tech (which was a nice guy) but he didn't ever even seen the rules that were posted. Long story short if your not one of them forget it. The rules were made as they went! Also when the say 100% payback yeah right more like 10% raced at least 12 truck each at 25.00 per and 5 of that goes toward lions club so that leaves $240.00 I got first and took home 52.50 what a crock of crap!! Don't say 100% if your not going to pay it. Dont get me wrong the pit was great but don't screw the people that put on the show. I know i am not the only one who felt this way by the remarks in the pits! Just a bad name for the Lions Club!!!!!!

I live in Wolverine, and have been over in the pits quite often, talking to drivers/crews and seeing what they felt about the competition. Trust me, you aren't the only one saying this. They sort of loosely base the rules off the posted rules, sadly. Don't get me wrong, I like the Lions Club and what they do for the community but they really need to straighten out the Mud Bog winnings and such. I'll drop them off a letter of what was said in the pits as well as a printoff of this thread and let them know that they need to fix this.
By the way, that was one hell of a run man. Good job, its a shame you didn't take home more. My apologies, as a bystander I will let them know what they need to work on. |

For me its not even about the money because we don't do this to make any money. I was more pissed about the rules than anything. But i will have a call into the lions club to see how much Money they got back to them to ensure someone isn't taking it off the top!!!! I feel for the stock truck that won he raced double the trucks and go a little less than i did. I noticed that the rules were being bent for the Disturbed racing group just so happens Will the guy i talked to on the phone on Thursday said the rules on the web are the rules which i believe that was to keep the fast guys away so he can put him self into the classes where he didn't belong. If this were an individual that was putting it on i would have just kept my mouth shut but the Lions club needs to know what is going on with there Logo on it!!!
July 4th, 2011, 12:24 PM | #4 |
Very true, there definitely isn't something right. I know that it has been having a lot of internal issues over the past year, that's for sure. What sort of rule bending did you see? I'd like to compile a list and let them know.

1. Four link in the super stock class
2. Axles Moved forward 3. Total cutting of body 4. Wrong tires in class I would ask them to update there rules that or on there website if they keep having bogs The tech told me they were out dated from the 1980's just looked they were made last fall! Hopfully they can get things figured out! |

Why does it have to be Super Mario RPG 2?Why can't Nintendo just create a brand new, three-dimensional Mario RPG that is not paper themed or have any relation to the SNES game?
Paper Mario plays nothing like Mario RPG.Doesn't mean I enjoyed paper mario any less.
Much as I'd love to see a proper sequel to Super Mario RPG, I've resigned myself to the idea that it's never going to happen.Plus, if Nintendo did do it, they'd have to go with somebody other than Square. '90s Square could do a good game with Mario characters, but Square-Enix today would make all of the characters mopey unlikeable tools with bad cosplay outfits, fighting an existential villain with poorly-established motives to the strains of bad J-pop.
Paper Mario was a proper sequel.

This error code occurs when you try to do two incompatible things with a database at the same time from the same database connection. For example, if you are in the middle of a SELECT statement and you try to DROP one of the tables being read by the SELECT, you will get an SQLITE_LOCKED error. Here is an example (using Tcl):
db eval {SELECT rowid FROM ex1} { if {$rowid==10} { db eval {DROP TABLE ex1} ;# will give SQLITE_LOCKED error } }
Note that an SQLITE_LOCKED error is distinct from SQLITE_BUSY (5). SQLITE_BUSY means that another database connection (probably in another process) is using the database in a way that prevents you from using it. SQLITE_LOCKED means the source of contention is internal and comes from the same database connection that received the SQLITE_LOCKED error.
Here are other reasons for getting an SQLITE_LOCKED error:
- Trying to CREATE or DROP a table or index while a SELECT statement is still pending.
- Sometimes people think they have finished with a SELECT statement because sqlite3_step() has returned SQLITE_DONE. But the SELECT is not really complete until sqlite3_reset() or sqlite3_finalize() have been called.
- As of check-in [3902] (2007-05-02 after version 3.3.17) this is now allowed for CREATE statement.
- Trying to write to a table while a SELECT is active on that
same table.
- As of check-in [3355] (2006-08-16 after version 3.3.7) this is now allowed.
- Trying to do two SELECT on the same table at the same time in a multithread application, if sqlite is not set to do so.
- fcntl(3, F_SETLK call on DB file fails. This could be caused by an NFS locking issue, for example. One solution for this issue, is to mv the DB away, and copy it back so that it has a new Inode value.
Anonymous adds: can someone please expand on the 'not set to do so' above? DRH replys: This third bullet item was added anonymously. I am not aware of any restrictions on doing two or more SELECTs from different threads at the same time, as long as each SELECT is happening in an independent database connection (that is: a separate sqlite3* object obtained from separate sqlite3_open() calls). As far as I know, the only time you can get an SQLITE_LOCKED error in the latest code is according to the first bullet above.

Would that we all could be employed at one of the Best Places To Work. And the way things are going, it may happen sooner than you think.
This year's version, the sixth sponsored by Providence Business News and conducted by The Best Companies Group, continues the growth we have seen since the first competition in 2006. Fifty-eight companies applied for the honor – which is judged by Best Companies based on a survey of workplace policies and benefits, then validated by extensive and confidential employee surveys – and 40 were judged to be worthy of recognition.
And one note. While each category is ranked – the process does produce a numerical score – just making it onto the list is a triumph for each company. So no one should be sad to come in near the bottom of a category ranking. Every company profiled in this special section is a great place to work.
Reading the stories in this section, I am struck by a few commonalities. The best companies make it a point to help employees strike a balance between the demands of the workplace and home life. Where appropriate, they put compensation policies in place that make it clear each worker has some skin in the game. And lastly, they do more than give lip service to "empowerment." These companies engage, solicit opinions and then listen to their staffs, making changes that benefit the company, sure, but just as importantly, they make the workplace somewhere that demonstrably values the workers, which in turn makes them more engaged and productive.
As is always the case, PBN could not conduct its recognition programs without the help of sponsors. This year's sponsors include Collette Vacations, Cox Business, the Society of Human Resources Management, Tufts Health Plan and USI-Mastors & Servant Insurance. The media sponsor is WPRV-AM 790.
And for those of you looking to join this august company, take what you read in this section and put it into practice. I'd love nothing more than to report even more Best Places To Work in 2012. •

My Question of the Week this week will be a short one. My son, my husband and I all came down with a stomach bug. Nasty stuff, the kind of thing that makes you realize how much you miss your "normal" days of having MS.
I've been making pacts with myself these past few days, like taking better care of myself, eating right and exercising more, telling people in my life how much they mean to me, keeping to a stricter writing schedule, making more of an effort with my social life (writing is a lonely profession)! If I had more energy I'd write then all down.
My list is much like New Year's Resolutions; the kind of thing I stopped doing years ago when I realized I never stuck to any list by the third week in January. However I have decided to make a list of one or two goals for my year, write a plan of how I want to achieve that goal, provide a timeline of how I will go about it – and then do it. I think we all need to have some sort of a mission statement for ourselves, especially when you have a chronic illness.
There is so much information about new MS treatments, cutting edge research, MS blogs and non-profit and for profit MS organizations, it is difficult to keep on top of all we need to know. Of course the best way to keep informed is right here at HealthCentral, and there is also The National Multiple Sclerosis Society and your own medical team. They are the starting points of the information you need, whether you are newly diagnosed or diagnosed for many years ago. These three places can provide you with other important and useful sources of information necessary for your various MS needs.
Make a pact with yourself by staying current, and help yourself by taking the best care of your MS.
What MS goals do you have for this year? Let us hear from you!
I send you wishes for a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, new blindness, and leg and foot amputations unrelated to injury. It's a major cause of heart disease, stroke, and nerve damage. Poor blood sugar control may also raise the risk for Alzheimer's disease.
If you have type 2 diabetes, your body doesn't use insulin properly to convert glucose into energy. As a result, blood sugar levels become elevated. This buildup of glucose, known as hyperglycemia, can damage blood vessels and vital organs. The A1C blood test is commonly used to see how well, on average, a patient's blood sugar level has been managed over the past two to three months.
"A person's A1C level is an excellent marker of complications," said Joel Zonszein, MD, director of the Clinical Diabetes Center at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City. "If you have a lower number, you'll be healthier." The American Diabetes Association recommends an A1C of 7 percent, or an average glucose level of 145 milligrams per decileter (mg/dL).
The following are three common types of complications that can occur when diabetes isn't properly controlled over time.
Eye Damage (Retinopathy)
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of new-onset blindness in adults. It occurs when blood vessels of the retina swell and leak fluid into the macula, where focusing occurs. The result, known as macula edema, causes blurred vision. A more serious form of eye complication, called proliferative retinopathy, occurs when new blood vessels form in the retina to replace damaged ones. Scar tissue can develop and cause the retina to become detached.
Fortunately, "this kind of damage doesn't happen overnight," said Stephanie Marioneaux, an ophthalmologist in Chesapeake, Va., and a clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Vision loss can be prevented if the blood vessel damage is caught early enough through regular eye exams.
"If we're seeing damage in the retina that means their blood sugar has been elevated for a while," said Dr. Marioneaux.
Nerve Damage (Neuropathy)
When hyperglycemia damages blood vessels that feed oxygen and nutrients to the nerves, it can result in nerve damage or neuropathy. Common signs include tingling, pain, or numbness in the feet and hands.
Patients may develop blisters or sores on their feet that can spread infection to the bone and cause tissue death. These infections are very hard to treat and can result in amputation.
"If people are experiencing the numbness and tingling, they should be checking their feet regularly for any sores or wounds and get them seen by a doctor before they get infected," said Priscilla Hollander, MD, an endocrinologist at the Baylor Endocrine Center in Dallas.
While A1C is "a great tool," Betul Hatipoglu, MD, an endocrinologist at the Cleveland Clinic, said it's not a replacement for daily blood sugar monitoring. "Keeping it level can decrease chances of terrible complications that could potentially cause you to lose your limbs," said Dr. Hatipoglu.
Kidney Disease (Nephropathy)
Diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease in the United States. "About 10 percent of people with type 2 diabetes will develop [it]," said Dr. Hollander.
High blood sugar levels compromise the kidneys' ability to properly filter waste products in the blood. Protein that's useful to the body leaks into the urine, while wastes start to collect in the blood. Left untreated, this can lead to kidney, or renal, failure requiring a machine to filter the blood (known as dialysis) or a kidney transplant.
According to Hollander, it usually takes about 10 years for diabetic kidney disease to manifest, and it can be caught in the early stages. A simple urine test can detect excess protein in the urine. Other signs to look for include frequent urination, weight gain, and ankle swelling.
"The incidence is improving," said Hollander. "And we've made a lot of progress by controlling blood pressure, which plays a big role in furthering kidney damage."
For anyone with type 2 diabetes, as Dr. Zonszein points out, "the sooner you can catch that your blood glucose hasn't been under control, the better you can prevent these complications."

Abstract: | El Niño events owe their name to their tendency to be locked to the seasonal cycle. A simple explanation is proposed here for the locking of the peak of ENSO's basin-scale warming to the end of the calendar year. The explanation is based on incorporating a seasonally varying coupled ocean–atmosphere instability strength into the delayed oscillator mechanism for the ENSO cycle. It is shown that the seasonally varying amplification of the Rossby and Kelvin ocean waves by the coupled instability forces the events to peak when this amplification is at its minimum strength, at the end of the calendar year. The mechanism is demonstrated using a simple delayed oscillator model and is further analyzed using the Cane–Zebiak model. Being based on the oversimplified delayed oscillator paradigm of ENSO, the proposed mechanism cannot be expected to fully explain the locking of observed events to the end of the year. However, the wave dynamics perspective it offers to approaching the ENSO phase-locking problem may serve as a first step toward a fuller explanation based on more realistic models and additional data analysis. |

Opinion by Jeffrey Weiss, Special to CNN
(CNN) – Sunni and Shia Muslims are killing
each other in several nations, most notably in Syria's escalating civil war.
Coptic Christians churches are being
torched in Egypt.
In Israel, what
passes for peace talks has restarted after years of murder and brutality.
Religion is a common thread in each conflict. But why? Don't these folks worship the same deity?
After all, Jews, Christians and Muslims all trace their faiths back to a fellow named Abraham, whom they all claim was chosen for special treatment by the Almighty. Why can't they all get along?
Not academic
The "same God" question is one theologians have hammered at for as long as there have been enough religions for the query to make sense.
The question is hardly academic, though. In fact, a number of politicians, religious leaders and scholars have expressed hope in recent years that a convincing answer on the God question might dampen the violence committed in His name.
Last year, for example, Yale Divinity School theologian Miroslav Volf edited a book titled "Do
We Worship the Same God? Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Dialogue."
In the introduction, Volf explained why the title question matters:
"To ask: 'Do we have a common God?' is, among other things, to worry: 'Can we live together?' That's why whether or not a given community worships the same god as does another community has always been a crucial cultural and political question and not just a theological one."
On the other hand, there's CNN Belief Blog contributor and Boston University religion professor Stephen
Prothero.. His book on this subject is titled "God Is Not One: The
Eight Rival Religions That Run The World."
Prothero writes:
"For more than a generation we have followed scholars and sages down the rabbit hole into a fantasy world where all gods are one … In fact this naive theological groupthink – call it Godthink – has made the world more dangerous by blinding us to the clash of religions that threaten us worldwide."
In the world of politics, President George W. Bush asserted the unity side of the argument more than once in the years after the 9/111 attacks - often as a way to deflect accusations that America was at war with Islam.
Bush told Al Arabiya television, "I believe there is a universal God. I believe the God that the Muslim prays to is the same God that I pray to. After all, we all came from Abraham. I believe in that universality."
Pope John Paul II drew from the same rhetorical well several times.
"We believe in the same God, the one God, the living God, the God who created the world and brings his creatures to their perfection," he first said in a speech to Muslims in Morocco in 1985.
Looking for a more recent example? Consider the plight earlier this year of the new Vatican envoy to Malaysia.
Shortly after he arrived there, Archbishop Joseph Marino said that is was fine by him that Christian translations of the Bible into Malay use the word "Allah" for "God."
"Allah" is, of course, the Arabic word for God and is found in the Quran. The Christian translators explained that since most Malaysians are Muslim, it's the word they're most comfortable with and therefore the best choice for the translation.
But many Muslim authorities in Malaysia are furious. They say Christians are slipping in the familiar word as a way to convert Muslims. And conversion of Muslims
is all but illegal in Malaysia..
There's a lawsuit ongoing about the translations. Marino had to apologize for pushing into Malaysian politics.
Points of disagreement
So what do the "Abrahamic" religions disagree about?
Among other things: the purpose of humanity, the relationship of God and humanity, sin, forgiveness, salvation, the afterlife, Jesus, Muhammad, the calendar, and the religious importance of Abraham himself.
Plus the nature of God.
Any summary will leave out enormous nuance. Internal divisions within religions have fueled some of the worst examples of human violence. Consider the long and frequently bloody history of troubles between Catholics and Protestants or the growing death toll of Muslim-on-Muslim attacks.
But there are common elements about God widely accepted in each tradition.
Related: Debating why
millenials are leaving the church
Start with Judaism, since it came first and established roots that carried into the other two.
Jewish tradition teaches that there is one and only one God, creator of everything, and He established physical and moral laws. As Judaism's preeminent prayer says: "The Lord our god, the Lord is one."
This God walks and talks directly with His creations – for a while.
Eventually, He chooses one particular nomad (Abraham) to father a mighty nation that God sets up as an example to other nations.
This God likes the smell of burning meat and demands other extremely specific physical offerings as evidence of obedience and repentance. And He gives His chosen people a particular set of laws – but doesn't mind discussion and even argument about those laws.
A famous rabbinic saying implies that every word in Judaism's sacred texts can be understood in 70 correct (but related) ways. And human reasoning can even trump divine intention. (No kidding. . It's in the Talmud))
This God judges His people every year. Tradition says he's willing to accept imperfection, as long as it comes with repentance.
He's big on obedience, not so much on faith. He's not nearly as attentive to the behaviors of non-Jews. (There's a famous Jewish joke with the punch line "Would you mind choosing somebody else once in a while?")
Tradition holds that there's a World To Come after death where moral accounts will somehow be settled. But this God is vague on details.
The most obvious differences in the Christian God are the traditional teachings about the Trinity and Jesus. God is three separate persons who are also one. How? Christianity says the Trinity is a "mystery" of faith.
According to Christian tradition, God begets a son who is somehow also Him but not Him to atone for Original Sin. He sacrifices that son though a brutal death and thus achieves humanity's salvation.
But the son, who also is God, rises from the dead. And that sacrifice redeems eternally all who accept and believe in it. Faith, not behavior, is the essential measure of salvation.
This God is willing to vastly expand what it means to be among His "chosen people." He's also willing to cancel many of the laws that had applied to that chosen group for this expanded membership.
Orthodox Jews say that God prohibits them from eating a cheeseburger; Christians say God has no problem with them wolfing down Big Macs.
Unlike the Jewish God, whose instructions are almost all about this world, the Christian God is focused more on eternal salvation: heaven and hell.
Finally, for this God, much of the Jewish scriptures (which are all God's word) are actually about foreshadowing Jesus. Including Abraham.
Related: Should Christianity
be so boring?
The Muslim God is a bit more like the Jewish God.
There is no Trinity in Muslim tradition. Jesus was a prophet, but no more divine than other prophets.
God has never has had anything like physical attributes and has no gender. (Some Muslim commentators say that the noun "Allah" is masculine, but only in the way that all nouns in some languages include gender.)
Muslim tradition holds that God wants one thing from humans: Submission. The word "Islam" is defined as "submission to the will of God."
For Muslims, all true prophets in Jewish and Christian traditions were actually Muslim because they knew to submit correctly to God. Differences between Muslim, Jewish and Christian interpretations of God are due to errors that crept into the other two faiths, Islam teaches.
The Muslim God, like the other two, initially demanded that Abraham sacrifice a son. But the Muslim God wanted Abraham's son Ishmael, not Isaac, who Jewish tradition holds was offered as a the sacrifice.
The Muslim God also designated, from before the world began, a perfect man to be his final prophet: Muhammad. God's perfect truths are found only in the Quran and in the sayings of Muhammad, the hadiths.
And the Muslim God, like the Christian God but unlike the Jewish God, will welcome believers to paradise and condemn many non-Muslims - exactly which ones is a matter of much discussion - to eternal torment.
Final answer
So do Christians Muslims, and Jews, really all worship the same God?
In two major volumes on the subject recently published by scholars from various faiths and traditions, including Volf's, the most inclusive response from these scholars is basically: Yes, and it's our God.
This is not a new way of answering the question.
In 1076, Pope
Gregory VII wrote this to a Muslim leader: "We believe in and confess one God, admittedly, in a different way…"
But like many other religious leaders on all sides of the argument, Gregory insisted that his version of the Almighty is the one whom the others are unknowingly and incompletely worshiping.
A less exclusivist set of religions might shrug off the differences. But all three claim to have the only "True Faith."
So do all three faiths actually worship the same deity, whether they call him God or Allah or Adonai?
God only knows.

Spring has yet to really make its appearance where I live, it still feels like winter is lingering. But I'm in the mood to pretend it's warm, and be able to ditch the coats. So I made a light spring scarf using this tutorial from Dana at made. It's super easy, it took less than 15 minutes to make, and cost me $0.75. I found some thin chiffon-like fabric for only $1.50 per yard, and a scarf takes half a yard.
I'm usually lame with accessories, but I'm trying to make some effort. This was easy to make and easy to wear. It didn't really get in the way and I liked it. I may have to make more scarves.

Drug War Challenged On Its 40th Anniversary
Friday, June 17, 2011
Aired 6/17/11
June 17th marks 40 years since President Richard Nixon declared a "War on Drugs." Today, drug policy represents one of the most contested issues in America and Mexico.
SAN DIEGO While the Vietnam War raged and the U.S. economy struggled with inflation and unemployment, President Nixon coined one of his most famous phrases.
"This is one area where we cannot have budget cuts," said Nixon. "Because we must wage what I have called total war against 'public enemy number one' in the United States—the problem of dangerous drugs."
Four decades later, the War on Drugs has cost the states and federal government an estimated $1 trillion. Critics say it's a waste. The war, they say, has few success stories relative to its enormous expense.
In 2010 a Gallup poll revealed that 46 percent of Americans now support legalizing drugs, as compared to just 36 percent just five years ago.
"It's very rare to see public opinion change on an important social issue like that so quickly," said Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance.
Speaking to reporters Thursday in Washington, Nadelmann argued that the human and financial cost of drug-related violence in Mexico is a top reason for shifting public opinion.
But at the Obama White House, drug legalization continues to be dismissed as simplistic.
"Drug cartels don't just make money off of drugs," said Office of National Drug Control Policy spokesperson Rafael Lemaitre. He added that drug cartels also make money off of human trafficking, extortion, and kidnapping. "It's disingenuous to make the claim that if you just legalize marijuana, somehow you'll have cartel members give up and start working for Microsoft or Coca-Cola."
But according to Lemaitre, the government has learned some lessons in the last four decades. Number one on that list, is treating drugs as a public health problem--instead of a criminal problem.

How can anyone believe legalizing drugs will tip the war on drugs in favor of the law? The cartel(s) will continue to distribute, strong-arm, extort, blackmail, you name it, and the money will continue to flow their way. We're losing the war because we're not fighting the battles to win.
All too often we get caught up in jurisdictional in-fighting between agencies vying for money and attention, not to mention people in law enforcement on 'the take', who tip off the cartel regarding sensitive information. Yes we need to treat the drug problem as a health problem, but the cartels have upped the ante and are fighting dirtier than any of us could have imagined. Look at the beheadings, murders, etc. right across the border.
The people we should be asking how to fight the war on drugs are the border patrol agents and low-level law enforcement officers who are out on the streets every day fighting these battles. They could give insight on the course we need to take versus the high chain-of-command sitting behind a desk.

The War on Drugs failed $1 Trillion ago! This money could have been used for outreach programs to clean up the bad end of drug abuse by providing free HIV testing, free rehab, and clean needles. Harmless drugs like marijuana could be legalized to help boost our damaged economy. Cannabis can provide hemp for countless natural recourses and the tax revenue from sales alone would pull every state in our country out of the red! Vote Teapot, PASS IT, and legalize it.

text: Sergey Brin Thinks Your Smartphone Is for GirlsSam Biddle2/27/13 4:23pmFiled to: Google glassSmartphonesGoogleSergey BrinMasculinity87EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkHey, sweetheart, nice iPhone. Nice Android, too. It matches your Hello Kitty mug and bra. In fact, it's downright "emasculating," according to Google co-founder and Professional Computer Face Sergey Brin. So, stop throwing your manliness away.AdvertisementIt takes a lot for an asinine comment at TED to surface above the asinine sea-froth that is TED itself, and yet, CNET reports:Speaking at the TED Conference today in Long Beach, Calif., Brin told the audience that smartphones are "emasculating." "You're standing around and just rubbing this featureless piece of glass," he said.I've never felt like my smartphone drains my masculinity, but that could be due to not having very much to begin with, or because I'm always using apps where I tap boobs and stuff. Guy stuff. Macho guy stuff. But Sergey disagrees: there's something fundamentally emasculating about using a smartphone. Touching the glass. It's hard to say what about "rubbing" a "piece of glass" is castrating smartphone users, or what a more virile alternative would be. But it's hard to imagine Google Glass, Brin's obvious foil to the standard smartphone, as anything remotely virile: it's a hugely dorky face accessory that has to be delicately spoken to or—yep!—rubbed in order to function.AdvertisementI mean, just look at that guy.

Fast Times At Cisco
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: there's never a dull moment at the Cisco disco.
Cisco was in the spotlight in a big way this year, both specific to the channel, with all the programs it launched and executive changes it made, and in the broader industry, where its star shone brightly against struggling competitors like HP, Huawei and Juniper. Here's a look at the major Cisco news stories we followed in 2012.

I'm in the process of creating a sonification of an object or thing. It could be used for any light up device. I'm going to use a light up yo-yo.By using max MSP I create a programme which tracks the yo-yo via my laptops webcam. A grid system is used, so that when the software senses a high light value in a certain corner of the 'screen' it would trigger a sound or change the pitch of a synth. So when the you-yo is thrown down, a synth with decreasing pitch is heard and vice-versa. However it did need a pretty dark room and bright light up yo-yo to work best.
Also one limiting factor is that I'm using a webcam from my macbook so the camera field is not big as I wanted. I was wondering if it is possible to attach my Canon 60d to replace the webcam?
I was wondering if anyone could suggest better object/thing/process to make it even more interesting and interactive
Thank you!
Your going to need a video camera which has at least 30fps (60 is ideal) otherwise the tracking will be too slow. Why not use a Kinect ? It has a good wide field of view and can track moving objects pretty quickly. There are lots of Max patches (cvt.blobs I think) which are plug and play. Plus its real cheap to pick one up !
can I use it as a normal webcam in other applications? I mean can macosx recognise it as a normal webcam?

Raekwon - Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang
[kung-fu sample]
*sounds of fighting*
Toad style.. hmmph
The Shaolin deliberately tried to use the Lord
To learn our Wu-Tang sword fighting!
The Shaolin would never do that!
Wouldn't you? The Shaolin have always looked down at us
Are you afraid the Wu-Tang would become more famous than you?
So you used your Shaolin poison to set up my master and deliberately frame me!
That's nonsense!
It's not nonsense! I saw it myself!
Nonsense! The Shaolin have nothing to fear from the Wu-Tang but our swordfight
[Intro: Raekwon]
Aiyo! Come on! Let go of the ratchet, son, come on, let's go! Come on!
Villagers, gangstas, pillagers, paintbrush
New whips, blue fifths, Louis Shallah, bitch
Ostrich turtlenecks, the Chef, already reps
Lean off the petty jets, we buy the very best
Outfits, powerful rich, pouncers, camel clips
One bump, two lumps, the shotgun, the new jumps
With flying bird, buying herb, new kick, designer birds
She on, and we up, let's re-up, and free'd up
Jakes hate it, Rae made it, Clientele, we gon' sell
You gon' starve, he gon' jail, night boots, swim with whales
Better snub, surgical leather gloves, never loved
We gon' kill, take it to the Hill, we forever real
Old records, old luggage, you ill with no rugged
You shoot and we spray, kill off them old buzzards
We love it, can't stand it, you read, the Wu Manual
We found it, stay grounded, we will, we still scrambling
[kung-fu sample]
Hold your fire!
You two traitors!
You've mixed the Shaolin and Wu-Tang
No, we have not, it's just that they're the same
That's right, my Lord
You misunderstand our kung-fu work
It doesn't belong to anybody, IT EVOLVES!
Kill 'em!
The wrist lifter, the grave sitter, baby sitter
The jobless, to open the vault, call your sister
The Pyrex, the up in the five, live as Twister
Blunt rolling, only a robe on, some whiskers
Knee slapper, the gat packer, blackjacker
Extortionist, friendly as shit, Bob and Back-lur
Ones folder over the stove, gold rover
The gear dresser, the chop bagger, Marvin Haggler
Rap stabber, eat you alive, gold tarantula
Sixteen paces and shit, hold the heckler
Pimp style, Axel Foley, stolen Rolly
All ya niggas that know me, ya'll owe me
[kung-fu sample]
I don't give a damn! Listen
Hahaha, And I'll kill anyone, who dares to go against...

I know Mondays are usually dedicated to food posts but I decided to switch things up today as this is a post I've wanted to write for quite some time. They'll be more food later this week, promise!
So there was a wave- a wave of honesty among bloggers to put the pretty and overly curated photos on hold for a day and get really real. And this wave, really, a movement, was started by Jess. I'm sure you've heard of it, and if you haven't let's just say Oprah did, so that's pretty major.
The blog meme has been labeled "Things I'm Afraid to Tell You." I've called mine that because I want to give credit where credit is due. But for me, the things I've noted below I'm not necessarily afraid to tell you, they're just parts of me. Parts that frustrate me, parts that make me sad, parts that make me angry, and parts that just make me human. I get so much out of those posts where someone really puts themselves out there, so I'm hoping I can do the same for you. So here goes…
I get jealous of other people's families. Do not get me wrong, I have an amazing family, like truly amazing. My brother and I had an incredible childhood and were afforded experiences and opportunities that the majority of this world doesn't get, and for that I am so thankful. But sometimes I look at other families and just wish I had one that wasn't divorced and went to the beach together every summer and celebrated every holiday and birthday together and so on. I know no family is perfect, everyone has their problems, but I still get jealous from time to time.
I'm tired of paying for health insurance. Ok, I'm not exactly tired of paying for it- I know I chose to work for myself and thus elected to get personal health insurance. I'm just tired of paying for something that provides practically zero benefits. I'm lucky I'm healthy enough that I can have a plan that doesn't cover ANY prescription drugs. But you know what? I'd really like to go to the dermatologist and not have to pay through the nose for one visit (or pay huge monthly premiums just to be able to go).
Sometimes we eat frozen food. Ok, have you had the vegetarian Indian food from Trader Joe's? It's pretty good! But seriously, I know I tout all homemade food on CC, but life is busy and some nights we'll just eat a frozen pizza or Brandon will make himself a grilled cheese or I'll take a can of beans and throw a few things in and call it dinner. That's real life.
I interviewed for a job last month. Yep, a job. I wasn't searching, an opportunity came my way that I felt inclined to explore, but I still applied. And while the whole process made me that much more sure I wanted to stick with working for myself and forming my own business, I still feel anxious and unsure about what I'm doing at times. I still worry I've somehow made a mistake or things won't work out. Most days I feel positive and excited and can power through, but some days are really really hard.
I sometimes wonder what the point of this all is. I love blogging, believe me, I do. I love sharing recipes with you, photographing the food, putting together beautiful posts- it keeps my mind flowing and creative. But some days when it's the weekend or late at night and I'm still plugging away I wonder if it's really worth it. Am I really contributing anything? Would my time be better spent spending more time with my family, calling an old friend, or watching a movie with Brandon? I know there are benefits and in the long run it makes me a happier person, but sometimes it just feels like a race that I'm not even keeping up in.
My dad is much older than other dads. Much older, as in 88. He's also a really successful artist, but you'll never hear me say that out loud because I don't want it to sound like I'm bragging. The thing is though, I'm just really proud of him. His age was something I was embarrassed about growing up since most dads are much younger, and now it's something I still struggle with because it's tough to have an aging parent when you're in your mid twenties.
I'm not too original when it comes to fashion and I don't really have an interest in being that original. I always want to look put together, and I have a good eye when it comes to what looks good on me and others- but it's not too different than what you see in the catalogues or online. I have no patience for vintage stores. I can't really mix prints. I barely ever wear heals. I'd be happy wearing black leggings and oversized sweaters all winter, and shorts or jeans and basic t-shirts all summer. I used to think it would make me better or happier if I were more stylish, but now all I want to really be is comfortable- all the time.
Woo- so there you have it. That felt as good as I had anticipated. Thanks, as always, for listening.

Crisis Management Guide
Convention Services Manager
Located in the heart of Southern California and known for its ideal year-round climate, Orange County has the unique Southern California lifestyle that gives meetings a laid-back energy and easy sophistication that can't be replicated anywhere else. Beyond its spacious meeting facilities and hotels, Orange County offers a safe, family-friendly destination to base a successful SoCal meeting experience. Orange County and Anaheim are just 30 miles south of Los Angeles and 90 miles north of San Diego, giving attendees easy access to four international airports.
Even repeat attendees will find that Orange County always has something new to discover. This year, the Anaheim Convention Center debuted the Grand Plaza, a new, 100,000-square-foot outdoor campus that gives meeting planners a venue for large gatherings, concerts, receptions, and exhibitions. Also new and highly anticipated, The Source, in nearby Buena Park, will have 500,000 square feet of shopping, dining, and entertainment to explore when completed, and the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) will complete a new transportation facility in 2014. The ARTIC will transport people between popular activity centers and business districts in Southern California.
One of the biggest reasons why meeting planners continually return to Orange County is its well-developed infrastructure. Anaheim and Orange County combined have 55,000 hotel guest rooms, four airports, and a modern convention center. Throw in world-class entertainment, professional sporting events, a diverse dining scene, famously beautiful beaches, and unsurpassed shopping, and planners have a well-rounded meeting destination that will impress any crowd. In Downtown Anaheim, which has undergone a renaissance of sorts in recent years, attendees can explore two districts — Center Street, an eclectic array of locally owned restaurants and shops, and the nearby Packing District, which is known for its retro-style architecture.

Last night Brad Pitt attended the Hollywood premiere of his fiancee Angelina Jolie's new movie Maleficent. If he arrived at the El Capitan Theater expecting to walk the red carpet in peace and have his personal space respected without, say, a prankster approaching him and reportedly hitting him in the face, he must have been sorely disappointed. More
As much as you might want to label Angelina as the iciest of ice queens or the seriousest of serious Sallies, you should read what her co-star Elle Fanning had to say about her at a recent roudtable talk. More
Maleficent is finally coming out this Friday, so you officially have three days to prepare yourself for being completely intimidated by Angelina Jolie. Not only is she playing a supremely bad-ass villain, but judging by the posters and the trailers we've seen so far, she looks stupid-beautiful doing it…just like the rest of the ladies on this list. More
You had a good run, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, but it looks like it's time to pack it up and admit that you'll never make it in the big leagues. You may not even be five years old yet, but when your own mother calls you out on being a bad actor, it's time to cut and run. Especially when your mother is Angelina Jolie. More
If I could choose one Hollywood BFF right now, I think it would have to be Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. Sure, she may only be seven years old, but Angelina Jolie just told the story of Shiloh's reaction to being asked to do Maleficent, and I think I'm obsessed. More
As if you needed a reason to be more excited for Maleficent than you already are, Angelina Jolie says her makeup was so terrifying that everyone from the child actors on-set to her very own children refused to come anywhere near her. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE. More
My only advice is that you wrap up your work for the day before you watch the new trailer for Maleficent, because I didn't do that and now I have to type with goosebumps for the whole rest of the day. More
The first trailer for Maleficent is here, which is great and all…but can someone explain to me why it's necessary for Elle Fanning to have a crappy British accent for Princess Aurora? Because I don't get it. More
I'm not usually one to get psyched about a movie way in advance, but seeing this poster of Angelina Jolie as the title character in Maleficent is getting me super geared up. More
While promoting a clip from the new Disney film, Maleficent, Angelina Jolie shared a few tidbits from the set–one of which included the sheer terror she would incite in hearts and minds of the small children visiting the set. So… where do I get my Maleficent costume? More
The basics of Ginger and Rosa make it sound like it could be fun: two teenage girls, Ginger (Elle Fanning) and Rosa (Alice Englert) romp around 1960s London, skipping school, kissing boys, and discussing the current events of the time. Plus it has a sort of cutesy sounding title. But this is no American Dreams (yes, I'm still missing that show), or Mad Men, or whatever romantic vision of the 60s you might have. More

Commercial aerospace suppliers are enjoying an unprecedented surge in demand. But a new concern is mushrooming on the horizon: globalization.
Issue 4: Globalization: Aerospace suppliers need a flight plan to sustain growth
Commercial aerospace suppliers are enjoying an unprecedented surge in demand. Orders and air traffic have grown so much the supply base is happily feeling tremendous pressure to keep up. But a new concern is mushrooming on the horizon: globalization.
Aircraft orders, backlogs, and production rates are increasing, but beneath today's layer of good fortune also lay worries about globalization. To develop a better understanding of the threat, PwC commissioned a supplier globalization study. The study focuses on two dimensions critical to long-term global success: (1) operational readiness to support aircraft manufacturers in customer growth regions and (2) financial readiness to enable globalization expansion strategies.
The results are clear: Many American and European suppliers are at risk of losing leadership positions.
PwC has extensive experience in assisting aerospace suppliers to globalize successfully. Many companies have established an aerospace presence in growth markets with the help of our in-country and international staff. With our experience and knowledge, PwC can help clients evaluate their globalization alternatives quickly, accurately, and confidently.
About the series
PwC Aerospace & Defense has launched a new thought leadership series called "Gaining Altitude with PwC". In this series of whitepapers, we will share with you our insights that we gain from working with you and your peers, customers and suppliers in the ever changing dynamics of the global value chain for aerospace and defense. Our insights will cover all aspects of the program lifecycle: program strategy; bid and proposal; design, engineering and planning; field sustainment; program delivery; IT effectiveness and cross phase processes.
