The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc. is grateful to EarthCam for its generosity in contributing its cameras and equipment to bring never-before-seen views of Liberty Island and New York Harbor to the general public. The Foundation is delighted to be hosting these "bird's eye views" from Lady Liberty's torch, bringing The Lady LIVE to you, wherever you are, 24-7 on www.ellisisland.org and www.nps.gov/stli. It's a breathtaking view!"
EarthCam's webcams technology once again proved to be an essential production asset and a reliable remote method to monitor set construction and filming activities. It gave me and my team instant access from different locations and proved to be a valuable method of collaborating in real-time.
From day one, the stadium webcams provided Vikings fans and other curious onlookers with a detailed look at the largest construction project in Minnesota history. The interactive, immediate, and high quality nature of the EarthCam technology led to incredible engagement via our content platforms. The beauty of this stadium is apparent to all, and we are thrilled to forever have this project archived in this manner.
EarthCam has put us in position to give fans an all-access look at Golden 1 Center, from site demolition to arena ribbon cutting. As we usher in a new era of Kings basketball and world-class events in Sacramento, we're thrilled to share a comprehensive time-lapse of the historic project.
These new high-definition cameras located on the roof of the CN Tower's main pod will provide unparalleled views of Toronto and beyond. We believe visitors to our website, and to EarthCam's, will be impressed by this best-in-class live streaming video and be inspired to visit the Tower.
The City of Edmonton made the EarthCam available to the public on our web site and we used the cameras daily to check on construction progress. The cameras have been an extremely valuable tool and we will continue to use construction jobsite cameras on our future major bridge projects.
I would like to take this opportunity to commend you and everyone at EarthCam who we have dealt with on this project in making it a success, both for our client and our company. The camera performed flawlessly.
We look forward to working with you in the future.
Stanford Health Care and the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford have been using EarthCam on a number of our projects to document the progress of each phase of construction. The sales, service and technical assistance has been invaluable for effectively communicating the project status to a broad audience.
We watched this video with the BioFire Ownership team and they were thrilled with the final product!
Thank you very much for helping us to have this ready by the end of the month – this video will be played throughout the building during BioFire's corporate open-house event which will host over 2,000 people.
Very well done!!
For the biggest game in college football history, we knew we needed to do something big for our fans. We know that our guests are incredibly passionate about and excited for this game and that they want exclusive access to every aspect of it. Through the Construction Cam, we are allowing fans to witness one of the greatest technology feats in sports – turning the Speedway into a football field in just three short weeks – in the most advanced and precise way possible.
I just wanted to thank you and your team AGAIN for creating such a great time-lapse video. The Chief Engineer used it yesterday for the first time for an audience of over 300 people and it looked great!
Reimaging an American icon such as Daytona International Speedway has been a journey for all involved and EarthCam's cameras have been documenting the progress since the groundbreaking. As we approach our first events in the new motorsports stadium, EarthCam's footage and time-lapse video provide the opportunity for everyone to look back on the construction achievements of this historic $400 million redevelopment project.
When we set up the EarthCam, we intended it mainly to showcase the Eco Village project of creating a neighborhood of high-performing, energy efficient affordable homes. It succeeded well beyond our expectations, bringing us visitors from throughout the entire country. It let others involved in creating affordable housing, potential donors and partners and anyone curious watch our progress. We will be using the archived images and timelines in fundraising efforts and presentations about our award-winning project. Our EarthCam has spoiled us and I look forward to moving it to our next effort in the spring!
Wow, the time-lapse looks amazing! Well done! I thank you very much for your quality work on that video, it is sure to please.
The quality of your cameras are amazing. I have never seen such great cameras before. I also want to thank everyone from your team, very helpful and very professional.
I can see the opportunity to do a lot of work with EarthCam in the future.
Thanks so much – always good working with you guys.
I have praised your product to many clients. We saved $20,000 in a claim by having this camera on site – that was just one occasion and it easily paid for itself!
EarthCam's construction cameras are far superior to all the competition. After researching multiple providers of similar services, I couldn't be happier with our selection. The streaming video is top notch, the image quality is excellent, and the multiple reporting and archiving functions that are available with the system meet our every need. This service makes it much more effective for communicating project status and engineering challenges while working with our colleagues in North Carolina, Germany, and Columbia. EarthCam fills the missing voids in our communication channels that benefit all stakeholders in our project. I look forward to implementing this technology and service on all my future projects.
Just wanted to say thanks for all of your help in providing the movie. It was a big success at the ribbon-cutting, and the airport appreciated your quick response. Thanks again.
Your guys did a great job with this time-lapse. Amazing work! This is better than we had expected. I sent the movie out to all of our staff and I am getting great reviews. They like it so much they wanted to see more.
EllisDon has been using EarthCam on a number of our projects and have found it to be a great asset to our clients and employers to monitor the development of our projects. It has given instant access from all locations and has been a valuable tool to our industry to be able to record and document each phase on the construction of the project.
You don't have to be afraid of heights, because for the first time ever, you can see a view from the torch looking down towards her crown, face, tablet and historic Fort Wood all from your computer or smart phone. It's really a wonderful way for people from around the world to connect with Lady Liberty using today's technology.
I just want to let you all know how pleased we are with our new Mobile TrailerCams.
We used all 3 of them today on a hurricane evacuation exercise on I-65 between Mobile and Montgomery to provide visibility at key interstate exchanges where we have no permanent traffic cameras. They worked as advertised, were easy to set-up and control. We were working with the State EMA, State Troopers and many municipalities and they all were impressed.
We will be deploying 2 on a construction project next week and I do believe we have a winner on these. Thanks again.
EarthCam has been an excellent construction camera technology partner to Kajima Building & Design Group, Inc. since 2007. The live feeds and final time-lapse video's of our projects have been very high quality and resolution. The EarthCam team was very helpful during initial set up including assistance with the camera install location and website access for all parties involved in the project. All of our clients, engineers, subcontractors, vendors, tenants and peers are extremely impressed with the live feed technology and website capability associated with the EarthCam systems on our project sites. The cameras are an asset on our projects for multiple purposes including safety, client updates, corporate office updates, security, and subcontractor coordination. KBDG will continue to use EarthCam for future projects.
I would like to thank you and your team for the quick turnaround you provided on our last minute request for a digital billboard. Your solution to our need was spot on and we couldn't be happier! We met our deadline and the live feed was well received by our Executive Management.
I appreciate all work and help. Thank you very much!
We are so proud of our new stadium and quite enjoy sharing your time-lapse video of the stadium's construction - a work of art!
The EarthCam Time-lapse movie gives fans an impressive and entertaining behind-the-scenes look at our set construction for the Egyptian battle sequence. Six months of preparation and work under challenging conditions move by seamlessly in an exciting 30 second Time-lapse movie.
I am really happy we made EarthCam a part of this project.
As the official charitable partner of America's national parks, one of the primary goals of the National Park Foundation is to bring the park experience to as many visitors as possible. In a very unique and engaging way, EarthCam is helping us do that at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The construction of this significant memorial is now accessible on-line for all to see thanks to EarthCam's products and service. We are proud to be working with EarthCam to share the development of the Flight 93 National Memorial with thousands of on-line visitors.
Thank you very much for the facebook app and continuous support. The facebook app is amazing.
The EarthCams were truly a big advantage and help on the project. We were able to record and document just about every phase of work during construction. The user interface for the cameras was great and the customer was appreciative of having the ability to view the construction of their facility, from a remote location, in real time. So much detail was shown through the images of the camera. EarthCam customer and technical services were diligent in providing periodic time-lapse files when needed and troubleshooting feed and/or connection issues. Our overall experience with EarthCam is positive.
The reason I am writing you is to compliment you on the back-up device you added to the camera when we had connectivity problems several months ago. The system worked perfectly. By yesterday evening, many images from the down-time period had been populated into the archive. By this morning, every image was there. For our next project, I want the exact same setup. Nice job by you and your team.
I wanted to thank you and your team for all your efforts in helping to get the cameras installed at the site. The cameras are operational and the images show that it's a beautiful sunny day in El Paso. The installation was done professionally and safely, and we couldn't ask for more.
Thank you so much for creating a special webcam page for this awesome construction camera... It looks great! Having this for tonight's event is going to be a huge bonus. Please give our kudos to the technical team for getting this put together so quickly and on short notice for us.
Thanks again for all of your help – this is so great!
Kick-ass! These (Time-Lapse movies) are great. I'm putting a looping DVD together for our big Grand Opening this weekend.
Thank you for making the preparation of the Phillipston Heavy Lift time-lapse videos a priority. They are great. I am happy to say that everyone enjoyed the video. It would have been missing an important aspect if you hadn't been able to get the time-lapse to us so quickly.
Thank you!
The webcams are an integral part of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge retrofit project. They are a proven efficiency tool bringing those of us unable to visit the site daily a live instant progress update. During the detour installation at the East Span the cameras once again proved to be an excellent value for us. Not only were we able to monitor and archive the unprecedented engineering feat but the cameras let Bay Area residents and the rest of the world see it live.
We now have our EarthCam camera and software up and running and looking great. I wanted to tell you that from the first call I placed to EarthCam, I have been very impressed with the professional and friendly attitude I have experienced with all contacts with your company. From sales to the technicians I have worked with, everyone has been very helpful and I wanted to let you know that I appreciate working with your company.
All the EarthCam staff members were extremely helpful and far exceeded the deliverable expected. EarthCam's products are extremely easy to use and, to date, have met all our needs. Working with these systems and software was really quite new and we found everything to be extremely "user friendly."
EarthCam has been a great partner for three of our high profile projects; providing us with a complete turnkey ConstructionCam solution that has allowed us to provide real time images of the construction progress to our patients and staff.
Your highly professional staff was always responsive to our needs. When it came time to relocate our cameras for the next project, your technical support staff responded promptly and assisted in the relocation process. When a glitch occurred with one of the cameras, again your technical support staff was there to support use and provided a solution. At the completion of the first project, EarthCam worked with us to provide a time-lapsed video to our Marketing Communications group to be used at an opening event for the facility. Many Thanks.
We received the time-lapse DVD; once again, a quality product. You all did a good job of condensing the demolition project into a one-minute spot.
Thank you for all of your help with making our webcam initiative a success. EarthCam's technology and services have been key to documenting and promoting our expansion project. The quality of your product, software and services are unmatched and we would highly recommend EarthCam on any important or high-profile construction project. Our expansion project lasts five years and we have peace of mind knowing that EarthCam will be with us every step of the way.
I just watched the time lapse movie and I think it came out great! Everyone around here is very excited to see it. I also wanted to say thanks again for making this a QuickTime file. This is actually the last piece to a video we're editing right now so that was a big help. Please let your team know how much I appreciate the quick turnaround. I guess you could say "nobody meets a deadline by themselves."
It was great working with you. Excellent job!
I haven't started yet with lavishing enough praise on you and your team! Everything this year has been spectacular and EarthCam has been a huge part of that. There were 130 invited guests in Iceland and millions over the internet that all saw the new website and sent in wishes. You guys have really nailed it this year - getting those exposures right over sunset was never achieved before and is incredibly impressive. The pictures coming off the camera day and night are beautiful. Can't wait for the Aurora Borealis to come out - will look spectacular.
Ringo Starr was blown away and now he wants a "Ringo light"!!!
Thank you and members of your team for a great level of support for our Science Building project. The professionalism in today's world can not be match with any other company that I have dealt with over the years. It's a great pleasure to know that companies like yours still exist in today's market.
Thank you all for what you have done for my department and Stonehill College.
I just wanted to let you know that everyone is very, very pleased and impressed with the camera installation at Lake Townsend Dam, including our own team, the contractor, and the client. It is already turning out to be an important and integral part of the project technically, and supports our overall project philosophy of transparency to all players involved.
Thank you for your help in putting this package together and getting it working. You are very professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with.
A big THANK YOU for the time-lapse series for our BP facility construction. Your system is easy-to-use and great for presentation purposes.
Thanks to you guys for configuring the IP address and settings in advance, the plug and play actually worked (I had my doubts, but I was wrong!) New image is live and it was painless, so I am particularly grateful for the easy installation!
I just want to let you know that you have a great product and service. We are more than satisfied with the performance of the EarthCam camera and the service we received at the installation.
Great!!! The cam is awesome! Love the interface and the quality of the image. Very good product. Thank you.
I appreciate your team's efforts and vigilance regarding our cameras. You are really my 'left arm' for this facet of my work and I couldn't provide a high level of service without the EarthCam team. Please extend my sincere thanks to your team members for the job they do in this regard.
We utilize the EarthCam MegapixelCam Robotic System with a wireless connection which has provided us with great flexibility for several of our development projects — often a construction site that does not have network access. The professionalism of EarthCam and their superior service got us up and running quickly. EarthCam's excellent, feature rich user interface allowed us to roll out the software to many users across multiple disciplines.
The cameras typically provide a positive payback within the first few months by serving a dual purpose — allowing us to monitor our sites for safety and security. We highly recommend EarthCam and look forward to making it the webcam technology platform across our portfolio.
We are pleased with the time-lapse video, which will be used for a presentation to the Novartis V&D executive committee. Thank you for the quick turn around. The EarthCam team is great to work with and everyone has been wonderful. From the time of installation to present, everyone has exceeded my expectations. Thank you.
We depend daily on the reliability of EarthCam's advanced webcam technology and customer service to monitor and manage all aspects of construction of the Riconed, Inc signature Burger King #17 Restaurant. EarthCam's cellular wireless, battery-powered network camera system coupled with its straight forward Control Center 7 software provides our team with the highest standard in remote management. Internet visits save travel and time and provide our client with easily accessible remote views and historical documentation of the entire process in time-lapse photography.
Tell your team again, thanks for your services. I know the City of Raleigh found value in your services and I do expect them to use your services again on upcoming projects.
It was -38°F in Fairbanks and the ConstructionCam Lite Megapixel system is still sending images!! WOW!!
Our webcam for the GM Powertrain lab Consolidation Project has generated a tremendous amount of interest. I would like to express my complete satisfaction with your company throughout the entire purchase, installation and activation process. The staff at EarthCam has been most accommodating and consistently demonstrates a high degree of professionalism and responsiveness. In short, you guys have been outstanding!
All three EarthCam megapixel cameras installed during our $400,000,000 expansion have performed beyond expectations. We capture shots for our print advertising campaigns and email blasts and our owners and contractors track progress.
But, one specific area has surprised us greatly — aside from our home page, it is one of the most visited page on our website. Many of our customers have set our EarthCam page their home page as evidenced by the flood of emails we received when the power was accidentally cut to one of the cameras.
EarthCam is tops in my book. Superior product. Easy-to-use software. Reliable capture. Automatically messaging of problems. Quick response to all calls. And a bunch of really nice people. I consider EarthCam to be a vital part of our expansion.
We're thrilled with our camera. More and more people are asking to see the images and your site is easy and fantastic for viewing and sharing high definition images. I send out a weekly clip to all our Corporate Real Estate people, they all get a kick out of it.
Turner uses EarthCam job site cameras. This has worked well for us.
The cameras are working perfectly. The zoom is better than we hoped for and will work well as a force protection tool while we are in port. We greatly appreciate your support in the acquisition and installation of the system.
From the crew of USS Reuben James, a hearty Mahalo for your support.
I want to commend EarthCam on a professional installation. Your installer was great to work with. I do appreciate all of your help, as well. I will recommend that we use your product and services for future projects.
EarthCam has become a vital part or our operations on the Yacht Haven project and I anticipate that as we expand our marina management and global yachting, we will be using more of your company's resources.
Coca-Cola is one of the longest advertisers in Times Square. As the management company for the sign, our job at Posterscope USA is to monitor the operation of the sign. From the technology and software to the assistance with the installation, EarthCam has provided us with the opportunity to remotely view our popular sign from our offices worldwide. We are happy we chose EarthCam and very pleased with the service we receive.
Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate EarthCam's quick responses, professionalism and efficiency. Our camera is fully operational and doing exactly what we planned for it to do. Thank you again, and I will not hesitate to do business with EarthCam in the future.
One of our projects was billed for a non-usage charge of a crane located on the site. After knowing the days in question, I logged on EarthCam.net and reviewed the timeframe. I found that the crane was actually used. With the time date stamp on top of the image, I could then prove the exact time and duration of which the crane was used each day within five minutes. With this one occurrence, the project saved $29,000. It would have been near impossible to prove without the aid of EarthCam.net.
Thanks for the fantastic service and great camera system. The camera system is built like a tank and has thoroughly impressed everyone here with its capabilities. I have been very pleased with the performance from EarthCam. We have enjoyed thoughtful customer consideration from our initial inquiry, through the sale and during system testing. Each EarthCam service and product showed attention to detail. The camera system was ready to go right out of the box. Even the shipment's packing method simplified the camera setup process. When we needed a custom feature quickly, EarthCam provided it. EarthCam came through with an elegantly simple solution that was easy to implement. They really listened to our needs and provided a browser interface that had the widest possible cross-platform use. EarthCam gave us a high quality, very high capability, durable, adaptable camera system that is easy to deploy.
I didn't think our project was even possible--given the challenges of a tight deadline and much needed technological knowledge. You shared a lot of information with me, personally delivered the camera the NEXT DAY and got everything going exactly on time within the space of one day. Everyone I spoke to at EarthCam (including your techs and the person who answers the phone) was always highly professional, courteous and fast. You guys really went the distance to meet our requests (even on Saturday) and I can't thank you enough. I also really like your product - the Control Center, the cam serving and programming.
We have been working with EarthCam for over 5 years and continue to receive excellent service. They are very professional in all aspects of our relationship and it is a pleasure working with their team. EarthCam provides us with a complete turnkey solution including cameras, software, archiving and image management services allowing us to offer our visitors real-time coverage of our renovation projects. The webcams are one of the most popular features on our website and a great compliment to our This Old House television show on PBS.
We are very happy with EarthCam. They have assisted us with several large scale projects, both in planning and development, and we are planning to use them in the next phase of our multi million dollar plant security and monitoring upgrades which will include both equipment and construction.
As with any project, large or small, careful planning and finding the right solution with an eye toward expansion and future needs tends to produce a successful outcome. Although we have considerable talent in-house, EarthCam provided current solutions for our needs and even researched some specialized applications for us (our facilities cover 95 square miles and some of the remotes are quite a challenge).
All said, we will continue to do business with EarthCam and I'm sure other companies and government agencies would not be disappointed. We liked everyone that we worked with at EarthCam and found them most pleasant, professional and willing to please.
Our ConstructionCam has generated significant interest among our online fans. With EarthCam's help, Chicago Bears fans have been able to watch the daily construction over the Internet of the new Soldier Field stadium and also see complete time-lapse movies. EarthCam's ConstructionCam products, solutions and customer care have proven to be first rate. We are very pleased we chose them as our webcam technology and software provider.
EarthCam has been a great partner in this project. They have a great presence in Times Square and were as excited with the project as we were. And they handled all the details of the camera installation, image hosting and transmission without a glitch. The project has been a huge success, contributing to the customer experience of over 1.8 million visitors to kodak.com each month.
Our company manages ad sales on the NBC AstroVision screen in Times Square and we use our EarthCam connection every day. We can not physically be in Times Square to be sure our screen is operating as it should 24/7, but EarthCam is - checking on our location is as easy as logging on. The service and support we receive is outstanding and we can recommend EarthCam whole-heartedly to anyone.
Last week we accessed our Control Center and saw that we received our free software upgrade. The new software is clean and very user-friendly. The look and the added features are pretty cool. The mobile service is a excellent addition and will be a huge benefit for many people.
Great job and thanks for continuing to make your product one of the best out there!
The University of Virginia Athletics Department was looking for a webcam solution so UVA fans could monitor the construction of a new 15,000 seat basketball arena and special events center. As the Director of Video Services for the athletics department, I come into contact with many different types of video cameras and equipment. I am very pleased with the image quality of our EarthCam ConstructionCam and have been impressed with the company's commitment to customer service. Over the next 30 months, EarthCam is going to be an important part of our marketing and promotional efforts for this new facility.
We link EarthCam's SecurityCam system to our Internet site, allete.com, because it draws favorable attention to our company, which is headquartered at the head of Lake Superior in Duluth, Minn. We have found it to be a very positive public relations tool for customers of our electric utility, Minnesota Power, and for people who may have moved away but still cherish their view of this beautiful Great Lake.
Here is a sampling of the emails we received after upgrading to an EarthCam system:
Thanks for improving the Live Cam. So good to see the lake again. Don't think you realize how much the Live Cam helps in bringing in tax dollars for the Duluth area. Duluth is our very favorite vacation place!
Thank you!
YES!! Fantastic!! Love the new locations, and the sharp images! And thanks for making my home pages something worth "coming home to"!! THANKS!!

The Andhra Pradesh high court on Thursday dismissed the regular bail petition of YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy in connection with an alleged disproportionate assets case involving him.
The AP high court had on December 24 dismissed the statutory bail plea of Jagan.
The Central Bureau of Investigation had on January 22 alleged before the AP high court that it was unable to speed up the investigation into Jagan's case owing to the non-cooperation of the state government.
Jagan's counsel S Niranjan Reddy had earlier complained that the investigation seemed to be never ending and bail cannot be denied in the name of an incomplete investigation.
The CBI contended that the bail petition was not maintainable in accordance with the apex court's order, which had said that Jagan had the liberty to approach the trial court for bail after the filing of the final charge- sheet.
On November 28, a special CBI court had dismissed his statutory bail petition observing that "granting bail at this stage of pending investigation will not only impede the investigation, but also infringe the avowed purpose set out by the Supreme Court in its order".
His second bail plea was also dismissed subsequently on December 4, after which Jagan moved the high court and filed two bail petitions.
VANPIC project's promoter (industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad) allegedly invested Rs 854 crore in the companies belonging to Jagan towards a largesse for which the then AP government, led by late YS Rajasekhara Reddy, doled out many favours.
Jagan, who was arrested on May 27 this year by CBI on corruption charges, is presently under judicial remand and lodged at the Chanchalguda Central Prison.
The central agency had submitted a progress report on the ongoing investigation into the alleged illegal assets of the Kadapa Member of Parliament to the Andhra Pradesh high court on January 4.

Cops for Cancer tours the Valley
Cops for Cancer riders, participating in the Tour de Valley, stopped at Thrifty Foods on North Parallel road in Abbotsford on Saturday afternoon. The riders spoke to the crowd and gave kids hockey-card-style pictures of themselves which include tips on eating healthy, exercising and using sunscreen. Thrifty, a sponsor of the ride, has been fundraising for several months, including selling staff recipe books, and will announce its total at year's end.
A team of 21 riders will cover more than 800 kilometres in nine days (Sept.22-30) as the Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley takes place.
The event, which features riders from law enforcement and emergency services personnel, raises funds to help beat childhood cancers.
Riders will be in Abbotsford tomorrow, visiting a series of elementary and secondary schools and talking to students about maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
On Saturday the group made several stops, including Tradex, where there received $4,000 from Fraserway RV and $1,500 from Tradex staff.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Training
- - Setting back at the Hitching Post?
Setting back at the Hitching Post? Hey! I was grooming my mare that I've had forever and all of a sudden she jumped back and "set back" A lot of people call it that, but it's when the horse is nearly sitting down and pulling away at the lead rope. It was a break away knot, so it did break, and after that she was just standing there and blowing really loud.Any way to fix this? She has done it a couple of times and she gets really close when she rears too at the post and almost gets herself caught on it! It scares me! |
Tie her high, if thats an option. Stay clear when she does it because the only way she can release is to jump forward. There are devices that you can attach to the lead, so when she pulls it gives and is suppose to teach them not to pull back. One of these devices is called The Clip. I believe there is a video on the website to show you how it works. there are other type on the market, I just can't remember the names. |
Aussie tie ring? |
She might have learned that doing so 'sets her free' since you said she has done this a couple times. I would listen to what people offer on here.. and try everything to fix it.. as it could become a daily thing.. -tie her to a solid object.( I guess this could be bad too if she continues to freak out..just make sure she isnt in the way of something going to hurt her) :) |
If you have a round pen or small paddock, take her in there and remove her halter and lead. Load your pockets with treats, stand facing her put your hand up like a stop sign then walk to her shoulder with your left hand touching her as you walk. Turn away from her and walk back and offer a treat. Again the stop sign and to her shoulder again. She may turn this time so just go to face her and do the stop sign. Always touch her as you walk along her side and turn away as you return to the front position. Once you can complete a circle without her moving, move away a few feet just past arm's length and repeat the first exercise. Don't look at her but off to your right, otherwise she'll want to swing her butt away. You are out for a stroll which just happens to take you around her. She will be connecting the rewards with standing still (patience). Continue to expand your circles. No reward if she moves but try to put her back where you first started. When she's good with that, stop sign then walk straight away about 50' and come back and treat. Practise this for 3 days in a row if you can. Then put the halter and lead rope on and do it again, just letting the lead rope fall to the ground. You are now teaching her to ground tie. Horses that ground tie are more relaxed than horses that are securely tied. Knowing they can leave if they have, they stay. |
This works well to break the habit - the knot at the whithers is a bowline. May be a good ifea to get a chiro to look at her - pulling back can put out the poll and cause the horse to have one hell of a headache. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y28...toWorld008.jpg |
id work on her giving pressure, then tie her to something very solid, tie her kinda high. I like to use a tree branch. tie, and if she pulls back. Let her. Is use a rope halter and a rope tied to it, no metal. Metal can break easier. |
Blocker tie ring. Works on every horse myself and my trainer have seen that pulls back. |
There are horses that do it the moment they are tied up - snap the head back and break the baler twine. A horse taught to tie up properly should not try to pull back just because they came to the end of the slack in the rope. The photo above of my youngster (yearling, first time away from home he stood tied there for aboout 5 hours) tied to the truck doesn't pull back at all. He learnt that if he did the rope around his bum sent him forward again. He wore it each time he was tied up for a couple of months while he was young. |
Thank you all! I have bought almost everything that y'all have mentioned and I also tried tying her higher. Nothing worked!! I was really surprised when i tied her higher because her neck was sooo outstretched and when it broke it came out with such force, she bounced back, and it broke fast, like right when she tugged, so it wasn't a knot you couldn't break out of. I asked the previous owners and they said she was doing it for a couple weeks when she first got there because she was nervous, but i've had her for 3 years and she's never done this except a week ago!! I have sent her to my trainer to try anything else. |

As he gets ready to join the Coyotes - his third team following stops in New Jersey and Calgary - defenseman David Hale is looking for two things: a fresh start and his first NHL goal.
"I haven't scored, but I wished I'd had," a chuckling Hale said. "I've come close, and I'm pretty confident it will come . . . but I've got to get in the record book one way or another."
It's not Hale's offense that brought the free agent to Phoenix from the Flames on Thursday. He's a rugged stay-at-home, 6-foot-1, 208-pound defenseman who has a plus-17 rating in 215 career games with 175 penalty minutes and 11 assists.
Right wing Brian McGrattan, acquired from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for a fifth-round draft choice in 2009, agreed to a one-year contract. No other details were available, but his salary last season was $550,000.
General Manager Don Maloney also re-signed restricted free agent defenseman Matt Jones, 24, to a two-year deal at $1.1 million. He played in 45 games with the Coyotes last season, with two assists and 10 PIM. The 6-foot, 215-pounder has played 106 NHL games (1-10-11) and 63 penalty minutes.
Hale, 27, was New Jersey's first-round pick (22) in the 2000 draft. Last season with Calgary, he played in 58 regular-season games with two assists and 46 penalty minutes. He also saw time in six playoff games. His two-year contract is in the $1.5 million range.
"David has a strong body, skates well and is evolving into a solid NHL defenseman," said Maloney. "We see more growth to his game as he matures and gets an opportunity to play with us on a regular basis."
Hale is ready for the new challenge.
"I'm excited and was surprised to hear it was Phoenix," he said. "I think it's a good fit. They lost a couple of D men and hopefully I can fill that in."
He wants to be a bothersome presence for opponents near the goal and thinks he can benefit an offensive-minded defensive partner, such as All-Star Ed Jovanovski, to give him the "freedom and confidence to play the way he can."
Hale also said he'd like to be a part of the penalty-killing unit.
"I saw a little bit of time in New Jersey and a little more time in Calgary," he said. "I feel that's one of the jobs I would like to step into, one of the roles I can excel at, and hopefully I can grow into that position."
His power play expectations aren't as lofty: "The only time I got out there was when I jumped out there by mistake."
The Coyotes extended their affiliation with San Antonio (AHL) for two years, going through the 2010-11 seasons. The Rampage have been affiliated with the Coyotes since the 2005-06 season.
� Right wing Francis Lessard, a third-round draft pick (80) of the Carolina Hurricanes in 1997, agreed to a contract. He has played in 91 career NHL games with Atlanta. He played with the Hartford WolfPack (AHL) last season.

The Vatican might as well convert
the Papal Apartments – a euphemism for a palatial 10-room suite featuring
sumptuous furnishings and priceless works of art - into a museum and make some
money off the tourists, because no pope is ever going to live there again.
They wouldn't dare, not after Pope
Francis has set a precedent by refusing to move in and living instead in a
simple, unadorned 2-room flat elsewhere on the Vatican grounds. It would seem
too immodest.
You have to hand it to Pope
Francis. Refusing to move in was a masterpiece of symbolism, in line with his
theme of fewer regal trappings and more humility. He's clearly a very smart
guy, but what else would you expect from a Jesuit?
Which brings me to my favorite
Catholic joke, which I first heard the late Harry Reasoner tell on the CBS
Evening News: A Dominican, a Benedictine and a Franciscan are arguing
good-naturedly about which order is the holiest, and they finally decide to
submit the question to prayer.
Suddenly, the heavens open up, and
down flies a pure white dove with a slip of paper in its beak, which it lays at
the feet of the three monks. It reads, "You are all equally favored in my
sight. Signed, God S.J."
* * *
Meanwhile, the Westboro Baptist
Church – that vile group of homophobes who picket the funerals of fallen
American soldiers – have announced plans to picket the funeral of film critic
Roger Ebert, who died last week after a heroic battle against cancer.
I knew Roger slightly, and let me
tell you: He would have considered it an honor.
We were introduced by my college
classmate, Gene Siskel, with whom Roger partnered in their groundbreaking movie
review TV show for two decades until Gene's death – also after a heroic battle
against cancer – in 1999.
What Gene and Roger did was amazing:
no less than conducting a running, 20-year debate about art.
Granted, it's a popular art – the
movies – but their debate was a serious one. Gene and Roger may have been
partners on their TV show, but they were also rivals, working for rival
newspapers. And they had very different ideas about film, which they expressed
with a passion that sometimes made viewers think they disliked each other.
They didn't. Yes, they argued; but
they argued like brothers. They had great respect for each other, both
professionally and personally, and they both were right.
Now Gene has company in the Great
Balcony in the Sky. Thumbs up to both of them.

Finally, a sad farewell to Annette Funicello,
every Baby Boomer boy's first crush and an iconic figure to everyone my age,
boy or girl. The most popular by far of all the Mousketeers, Annette grew up to
become a gracious adult who bore the multiple sclerosis that eventually took
her life with a dignity that surprised none of her fans.
She was called "America's
Sweetheart" because she always seemed to be even prettier on the inside
than she was on the outside. No scandal, no story of diva-like behavior, ever
attached itself to her name. The only consolation is that her suffering is
over. So long, Annette.
M-I-C. See you real soon.
K-E-Y. Why? Because we like you!

¶ When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: |
And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. |
¶ Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, |
Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. |
¶ And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. |
¶ And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. |
And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. |
Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. |
¶ Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; |
And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me. |
¶ And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. |
And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. |
¶ Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? |
And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. |
¶ Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. |
And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. |
Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? |
For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. |
¶ When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. |
¶ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. |
The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. |
¶ Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. |
¶ And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. |
¶ When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. |
¶ Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. |
¶ Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. |
¶ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. |
And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. |
And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! |
And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. |
And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. |
¶ And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. |
And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, |
They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. |
¶ And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. |
And sitting down they watched him there; |
And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. |
¶ And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, |
And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. |
¶ Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, |
He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. |
He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. |
¶ The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. |
¶ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. |
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
¶ Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. |
And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. |
¶ The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. |
¶ Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. |
¶ And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; |
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, |
And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. |
¶ Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. |
¶ And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: |
Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children. |
¶ When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: |
He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. |
And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, |
And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. |
And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. |
¶ Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, |
Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. |
Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. |
¶ Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. |
So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch. |

We are fundraising to help get food to the flood affected in chennai
Tamil Nadu is seeing some of the worst rainfall and subsequent floods in over a 100 years. The amount of damage caused was unprecedented. Roads have caved in, and traffic has come to a halt. There is incessant waterlogging, which is hampering relief operations. Over 200 people have died, and several thousands are stranded. Rivers have overflown, and spilled on to the roads, which have been reduced to stretches of potholes. There is no food, or electricity. Chennai has come to a standstill. And it needs all the help it can get.
Here's what I plan to do with the funds:
> Coordinating with kolapasi, for food delivery.
Kolapasi is a chain of food retail outlets based in Chennai. They have been distributing food boxes to people stranded in Chennai. Rs 90,000 will be used to distribute 6000 food packets to people affected by the floods.
Photo courtesy- Kolapasi
>Funding essential medicines through my friends in chennai.
Being a doctor, I realise the importance of having essential medical care available for people affected. I am reaching out to my colleagues and friends to procure medicines needed at this time.
> Supporting other organisations in Chennai who are in the middle of relief efforts.
A number of credible NGOs/organisations in chennai who are doing amazing work on the ground, helping people in distress. We are trying to support their efforts.

Sunderland boss Steve Bruce admits his side are in the thick of a relegation battle after being beaten 2-0 at his former club Birmingham.
Goals from Sebastian Larsson and Craig Gardner lifted City above the injury-hit Black Cats who have taken one point from the last nine games after being contenders for a European spot in January.
Bruce said: "We are in it (a relegation battle), no question about it. There are 10 teams in it and we are one of them. The lads know we have not got enough points. We have one point from nine games and we've got to try and arrest that slump."
He added: "There have been a few times recently when I have said the performance has not been good enough.
"But I could not ask any more from a young, makeshift side today.
"We have to try and take the positives out of today and if we play like that, we can still turn the season around and finish with a flourish."
"We've now got back-to-back home games with Wigan and Fulham so it is an opportunity to put things right.
"Maybe 41 points will be enough to stay up. One win might do it. I think so."
Black Cats keeper Simon Mignolet was at fault for the first goal from Larsson.
Bruce said: "You can't legislate for individual errors. The keeper has been excellent but will be disappointed with that error. The first goal was an awful one to give away and, apart from the two goals, I can't remember Birmingham creating any chances."

The true frogs, family Ranidae, have the widest distribution of any frog family. They are abundant throughout most of the world, occurring on all continents except Antarctica. The true frogs are present in North America, northern South America, Europe, Asia, Madagascar, Africa, and from the East Indies to New Guinea; the species native to Australia—the Australian wood frog (Hylarana daemelii)—is restricted to the far north.
Typically, true frogs are smooth and moist-skinned, with large, powerful legs and extensively webbed feet. The true frogs vary greatly in size, ranging from small—such as the wood frog (Lithobates sylvatica)—to the largest frog in the world, the goliath frog (Conraua goliath).
Many of the true frogs are aquatic or live close to water. Most species lay their eggs in the water and go through a tadpole stage. However, as with most families of frogs, there is large variation of habitat within the family. Those of the genus Tomopterna are burrowing frogs native to Africa and exhibit most of the characteristics common to burrowing frogs around the world. There are also arboreal species of true frogs, and the family includes some of the very few amphibians that can live in brackish water.[1]
The subdivisions of the Ranidae are still a matter of dispute, although many are coming to an agreement. Most authors believe the subfamily Petropedetinae is actually a distinct family called Petropedetidae.[2] The validity of the Cacosterninae is likewise disputed; they are usually merged in the Petropedetinae, but when the latter are considered a distinct family, the Cacosterninae are often awarded at least subspecific distinctness, too, and sometimes split off entirely. Still, there is general agreement today that the Mantellidae, which were formerly considered another ranid subfamily, form a distinct family. There is also a recent trend to split off the forked-tongued frogs as distinct family Dicroglossidae again.
In addition, the delimitation and validity of several genera is in need of more research (though much progress has been made in the last years). Namely, how the huge genus Rana is best split up requires more study.[3] While the splitting-off of several genera—like Pelophylax—is rather uncontroversial, the American bullfrogs formerly separated in Lithobates and groups such as Babina or Nidirana represent far more disputed cases.[4]
While too little of the vast diversity of true frogs has been subject to recent studies to say something definite, as of mid-2008, studies are going on, and several lineages are recognizable.[5]
- Genera such as Nyctibatrachus and Staurois, and the complex around Euphlyctis, Hoplobatrachus, Nannophrys, Sphaerotheca and the paraphyletic Fejervarya are probably very ancient offshoots of the main Raninae lineage.
- Amolops has been generally delimited as a monophyletic group.
- Odorrana and Rana plus some proposed minor genera (which probably ought to be included in the latter) form another group.
- A group including Clinotarsus, Huia in the strict sense and Meristogenys
- An ill-defined assemblage of Babina, Glandirana, Hylarana, Pulchrana, Sanguirana, and Sylvirana, as well as Hydrophylax and Pelophylax, which are probably not monophyletic. Most of them are now treated as junior synonyms of the genus Hylarana.[6]
Incertae sedis[edit]
A number of taxa are placed in Ranidae incertae sedis, that is, their taxonomic status is too uncertain to allow more specific placement. These include, among others, Rhacophorus depressus,[7] but this species has been given its own family.[8]
The subfamilies included under Ranidae, now regularly treated as separate families, are:
- Ceratobatrachinae (Malaysia, Philippines, Borneo, Papua New Guinea, Bismarck Archipelago)
- Conrauinae (Africa)
- Dicroglossinae
- Micrixalinae (India)
- Nyctibatrachinae (Western Ghats, India; Sri Lanka)
- Petropedetinae (Africa)
- Ptychadeninae (mainly Africa)

The jailing last year of three Pakistani cricketers in London and the latest match-fixing scandal to afflict Italian soccer have heightened alarm that corruption is undermining top level sport.
The Olympics are something of a paradox for bookmakers - the biggest event in the sporting calendar attracts a huge global TV audience but is a sideshow for most serious gamblers.
However, the IOC is taking no chances and is working closely with British authorities to ensure that fixing does not blight the London Games.
"Experts are telling us that the Olympics is not a primary target of match fixing because they are such a huge event, under such scrutiny, that it is a big risk to try to fix competition at the Olympic Games," IOC Director General Christophe De Kepper said.
"We treat this as a serious threat and we have taken measures to be ready in case anyone would want to fix competition at the Olympic Games," the Belgian added.
Games athletes and officials are forbidden from betting on the Olympics. Britain's licensed bookmakers have signed up to scrutinise activity during the July 27-August 12 Games and will channel their findings through the Gambling Commission, the industry regulator.
"We will report any suspicious betting. The IOC has set up a joint assessment unit for the duration of the Games," said Bill South, a former police officer who is head of security for William Hill, Britain's largest bookmaker.
"All the operators will have 24/7 reporting. We will suspend or void bets if necessary," he told Reuters.
British bookmakers have said that betting on the Olympics is likely to be relatively small, comparing spending over the Games as a whole with what they take on a weekend of English Premier League soccer. That should making wrongdoing easier to detect.
"We would offer a market on any event but the chance of all events attracting a market is unlikely," said South.
"Our trading team will make an assessment of what a potential market looks like. The smaller the market, then anything unusual is more likely to be apparent."
Advances in technology have created rich new opportunities for those seeking to rig results or specific episodes in a contest - "spot fixing".
More and more events can be beamed live into parts of the world like Asia where sports betting is often illegal and therefore unregulated.
Mobile technologies have also facilitated the growth of in-play betting where punters can bet on a event already under way, That is legal in itself but exposes sports players to the temptation of fixing seemingly trivial incidents.
De Kepper says that tackling fixing was more complex than the battle against doping - a scourge of international sport which the IOC has spent decades trying to combat.
"The financial impact, the means at stake behind illegal betting are far, far more important than in the criminal/doping network," he said.
De Kepper said the IOC was not against betting itself, noting that many sports were funded by lottery or levies on gaming.
However, he said that the IOC needed help to eradicate the dangers posed by unlicensed bookmakers.
"That needs the cooperation of police, that needs governments to realise that this is threatening... the credibility people can have in organised sports," he said.
"This is a public order question that many governments around the world at this stage have not realised," he added.


text: "Cracker" is an old term that was used primarily in the South, especially in Georgia and Florida, to poor whites and hill dwellers. The term in this sense dates back at least to the time of the Revolution. Although early uses leave the origin of the term in doubt, most authorities regard it as a shortened form of corncracker, which refers to the fact that cracked com was long the chief article of food among this class of people. This theory receives some confirmation in the fact that in Kentucky the same class of peo'ple are popularly called "corncrackers," a name applied in several other states to the Kentuckians themselves. In Americanisms; the English of the New World, published in 1872, M. Schele de Vere wrote: "A corncracker is looked upon as so low a person- that he is simply called 'a , cracker; he inhabits the low, unproductive regions near the sea-shore, and besides his generic name derived from the chief article of his diet, he appears as Conch or Low Downer in North Carolina, and as Sandhiller or Poor "White Trash in South Carolina and Georgia. Even in Florida he is found occasionally, leading a wretched life in the woods, and resembling in his habits the worst of .the old Indians. The Crackers of North Carolina are, perhaps, the poorest of them all." Some authorities hold that cracker was originally applied contemptuously by those living in cities to the country people because the latter were fond of cracking large buckskin whips. In King John Shakespeare employed cracker in the sense of a boaster, braggart or liar. At any rate, the term ' is now widely applied as a popular nickname to Georgians, and Georgia is known as the "Cracker State."

After three abysmal consecutive losses there was reason for optimism after the Canadiens' 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.
"We were moving the puck well all night," said Canadiens captain Brian Gionta, who scored two goals including the game winner.
"It's a step in the right direction," Gionta said of the Habs win. "We've still got to clean up some things."
Coach Michel Therrien called it "a huge win" for the players' confidence.
"I'm really satisfied and proud of Carey Price tonight. He bounced back. He made some key saves," Therrien said. "He was lucky at times–and you need some luck, you need some breaks to win hockey games."
Therrien thought the team's defensive game was better than it has been "and we've got to stick to that."
He also liked the change with Max Pacioretty playing on a line with Gionta and Tomas Plekanec. "I thought he had a lot of speed and he played really (well)," Therrien said of Pacioretty.
Two familiar faces may soon be back in the Canadiens' line up. Defenceman Raphael Diaz is doing "really well" and it looks like he'll be ready to play Saturday, Therrien said. Diaz has missed 25 games since suffering a concussion in February. There's also a chance Colby Armstrong, who has been out with a knee injury, will be back in the line-up this weekend.

Oscura Review
- Publisher: Viacom International Inc.
- Genre: Entertainment
- Released: 27 Oct, 2011
- Size: 216.9 MB
- Price: $0.99
- A very striking visual style combined with ethereal music.
- Lots to do to fully complete each level.
- The jumping takes a while to get used to, and never quite feels right when changing directions.
A fantastical platformer with a touch control scheme that works more often than not. A must for fans of the genre.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
Silhouette can make for a very striking and distinct artistic style in games. What makes things even better is when there's a thematic reason for such a choice. In the world of Oscura, light keeps all manner of nasty creatures at bay. When the lighthouse shatters, its crystals spread across the land, shrouding everything in darkness. Now these nasties are out and wandering. Bearing a lit torch, it's your job to light the lanterns of each level (which act as checkpoints), collect all crystal shards, and return light back to the land.
The control scheme makes use of tapping the screen with either one or two fingers. Touching either the right or left of the screen will move your character in that direction. Jumping will occur when a second finger is pressed down. The time spent pressing indicates the height of the jump, and the whole system is quite intuitive for precise platforming. Where things break down a little is when you have to change directions with your jumps or jump from a small platform. Because you need to have one finger down to jump, you almost always need a bit of room to run up, and small platforms don't exactly allow this leeway. This plus changing the direction of your jump (either in mid air or after a landing) takes some finicky maneuvering with releasing and pressing fingers. It's not a deal breaker, but it does take away from the flow of moving through a level.
Luckily checkpoints are common, usually right before tricky sections involving spikes, gears, moving platforms, and areas sprinkled with enemies for good measure. A level is completed when you reach the giant glowing crystal at the end before you are graded on your performance. This criteria includes the time taken to complete the level, the number of times you died, and collection of all the crystal shards and the four secret gears. This ensures that fans have something extra to do once all the levels are completed.
The art style was mentioned at the start and it is indeed striking. Background colors shine through the blocked out main character, the enemies, and everything that is interacted with. The enemies themselves are eerie creatures sort of reminiscent of the alien lifeforms from the movie 'The Mist' (or perhaps that's just a personal observation). The soundtrack is other-worldly and ethereal, and overall Oscura has killer presentation.
The only barrier to entry is either your love or hatred of platforming, and whether the control scheme suits your liking. Otherwise, this is recommended for all who are looking for something visually striking with solid play mechanics.
