"Water started leaking from the ceiling of the room during our first night at around 4am. The staff at the front desk checked it out and moved us to a room with a sea view for the remainder of our stay. The staff were all very nice and helpful and the free breakfast was tasty."

With shares of Brocade (NASDAQ:BRCD) trading at around $5.86, is BRCD an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
C = Catalyst for the Stock's Movement
In this section, you will usually find catalysts for the stock's movement (hence the category). That will also be the case here, but instead of getting right to the facts, let's have a little fun first. After all, it's a rainy Tuesday in many parts of the country, and that doesn't often lead to a bright and cheery mood. That's why a Brocade video has been included. But it's not just a Brocade video. It's a Brocade rap video. If you happened to watch the music video for EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC), which was posted last week, then you were likely entertained while also learning something about the company. This situation is similar. The basic purpose of watching the video is to see what Brocade dose. But entertainment is a close second. Brocade itself states that the video is about a company that isn't afraid of losing its image. The video is two years old, which made including it here a debatable decision, but it's still pretty accurate.
If you're a veteran investor, then you probably have no interest in watching a rap video, but there are two quick points to make here. One, veteran investors don't invest in Brocade because they don't understand the business. Two, if you're a veteran investor with no interest in watching a rap video, we know you're going to click on the "Play" button anyway. Don't worry; no one will find out. If you happen to be alone, then you might even get out of your seat and dance along with rap hand movements. That's cool.
More importantly, though, the video gets down to business. If you'd rather skip it, just read below for all the highlights.
Hope you enjoyed. And in case you didn't pick up on it, the 800-pound gorilla represented Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO), as it should. This is a good time to point out that Brocade is nowhere near the size of Cisco, but since Cisco is predicting trouble ahead, this could mean trouble for Brocade. The good news is that this weakness is only expected to be temporary and a direct result of the broader economic environment. This is NOT a dying industry. It should also be noted that Brocade recently showed record revenue in Q1. This was due to strength in storage and IT. EPS swung to a loss year-over-year, but that was mostly due to a non-cash tax charge. Margins were up slightly for the quarter, which was due to higher revenue and a more favorable Ethernet product mix. You can find more information in the Earnings section.
Let's take a look at some important numbers prior to forming an opinion on the stock.

"When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson"
Will Rogers
"You're my sweetheart to the max. I love you like Crispy Critters."
Wesley Willis
"While placing a critter on a label doesn't guarantee success, it is important that wine makers realize that there is a segment of consumers who don't want to have to take wine too seriously. Not only are they willing to have fun with wine, they may just feel 'good' about an animal label presentation."
Danny Brager
"Working with a big game animal like elk is really interesting. It's a neat critter."
Dan Walsh
"We've got enough money for maybe a month. The bottom line is that we can't afford to let these critters into the Great Lakes. They will probably have the single most devastating impact of any invasive species."
Dan Thomas
"Everybody's OK, even the critters."
David Kyle
"Critter-labeled wines are on the rise, quickly gaining share in the table wine category. The sales generated by new brands featuring a critter outperform other new table wines by more than two to one."
"My pony is about critters a horse would encounter in its lifetime."
Denise Brown
"Look, he's like a little burrito again. OK, Critter Bug, you're done."
Donna Robinson
"We're the problem, not the deer. We're not only moving into their arena, we're encouraging them to be there. Critters are adaptable. They need food, shelter and water. If you provide it, they'll come."

Five Songs for the New Year
Here's another roundup from our pal Jeff Shaw:
Ah, the New Year. Time of transformation, time of bubbly-spawned magic, time of awkward passes and resolutions you mean at the time. While you're preparing for the long sled ride down Hangover Hill, here's some topical listening material.
5. Death Cab for Cutie, "The New Year" "So this is the New Year ... and I don't feel any different." Who among us cannot identify with these sentiments? The ennui associated with arbitrary calendar-flippage? We've all been there at one point, and this captures one aspect of the nouvelle annee experience: sitting around and waiting for life to start. Some years are like this, running in place while holding a drink. Try not to spill.
4. The Zombies, "This Will Be Our Year" A delicious pop nugget from decades past, this track isn't explicitly about the New Year, but about starting a new romantic relationship with an old friend. The words I'm looking for to describe it are "thoroughly charming." Share it with someone you love -- or ensure that it's playing when a longtime pal you have a crush on walks by. More recently, OK Go covered this song, and that version is also well worth listening to. You can find it here. But I think the video below, with decades-old footage of somebody's parents shot with a Super 8, fits the tune's feel.

3. Asobi Seksu, "New Years" About a metaphorical rather than literal New Year, this song (which you can hear streaming here) is the finest track from one of 2006's best albums. Yeah, its almost all in Japanese. Yeah, you'll enjoy it anyway, even if you don't speak the language. You can see people wrestling with the tune's English meaning here.
2. ABBA, "Happy New Year" You cannot go wrong with ABBA. It is an immutable law of physics. So when you get them all together around a piano, singing out a blessing for the annum to come, you feel it, you believe them, even if you keep waiting for the chorus to be "Happy New Year, Happy New Year -- may we all have a beer." Go on, listen, and tell me that wouldn't be perfect.
1. The Dismemberment Plan, "The Ice of Boston" We started with the paralyzing effects of the New Year, and now we move to flip side -- being drunk in a hotel room far from home, and you end up covered in booze, naked, exposing yourself inadvertently to two million strangers.
What, hasn't that happened to anyone else? "Pop open a bottle of bubbly … yeah, here's to another goddamn New Year." Indeed, Dismemberment Plan. Indeed.

Severe Weather 101
Types of Damaging Winds
Straight-line wind is a term used to define any thunderstorm wind that is not associated with rotation, and is used mainly to differentiate from tornadic winds.
A downdraft is a small-scale column of air that rapidly sinks toward the ground.
A downburst is a result of a strong downdraft. A downburst is a strong downdraft with horizontal dimensions larger than 4 km (2.5 mi) resulting in an outward burst of damaging winds on or near the ground. (Imagine the way water comes out of a faucet and hits the bottom of the sink.) Downburst winds may begin as a microburst and spread out over a wider area, sometimes producing damage similar to a strong tornado. Although usually associated with thunderstorms, downbursts can occur with showers too weak to produce thunder.
A microburst is a small concentrated downburst that produces an outward burst of damaging winds at the surface. Microbursts are generally small (less than 4km across) and short-lived, lasting only 5-10 minutes, with maximum windspeeds up to 168 mph. There are two kinds of microbursts: wet and dry. A wet microburst is accompanied by heavy precipitation at the surface. Dry microbursts, common in places like the high plains and the intermountain west, occur with little or no precipitation reaching the ground.
A gust front is the leading edge of rain-cooled air that clashes with warmer thunderstorm inflow. Gust fronts are characterized by a wind shift, temperature drop, and gusty winds out ahead of a thunderstorm. Sometimes the winds push up air above them, forming a shelf cloud or detached roll cloud.
A derecho is a widespread, long-lived wind storm that is associated with a band of rapidly moving showers or thunderstorms. A typical derecho consists of numerous microbursts, downbursts, and downburst clusters. By definition, if the wind damage swath extends more than 240 miles (about 400 kilometers) and includes wind gusts of at least 58 mph (93 km/h) or greater along most of its length, then the event may be classified as a derecho.
More information about derechos from the Storm Prediction Center
A haboob is a wall of dust that is pushed out along the ground from a thunderstorm downdraft at high speeds.

MASTER director Guillermo del Toro appears on screen - he's about to introduce a 15-minute sneak peek at his new movie, Pacific Rim. The film opens in Australia on July 11.
He begins to talk - he wants to offer us a "glimpse of the universe" he has built for the film. To show us "how different" Pacific Rim is "artistically and thematically from other action blockbusters".
Anticipation makes way for confusion as he continues: Anti-verse ... Kaiju ... Connecting through memories to control the Jaeger what now?
First rule of Pacific Rim: Don't bother letting anyone try to explain it to you. Just go see it.
The footage begins and, although del Toro is playing his cards close so as not to reveal too much of the story, it all starts to make some kind of sci-fi sense.
While man had eyes trained on the skies looking for alien life, we missed a fissure between plates in the depths of the ocean - a portal between dimensions, through which climbs the first of the Kaiju. Kaiju is Japanese for "giant monsters" and these giant alien monsters are intent on destruction. San Francisco is first to go, then Manila.
In a far-fetched plot twist, the world actually comes together to fight the alien invaders, pooling resources to create Jaegers - robots that match the size of the monsters to even up the fight. As the voiceover says: "To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own."
The Jaegers take on the Kaiju and make a pretty good fist of it. But the Kaiju keep coming. Mankind is "losing Jaegers faster than we can make them," says the voiceover. There is only "one last chance".
The preview footage wasn't character-heavy but it did introduce us to two Jaeger pilots, Raleigh Becket (played by Sons of Anarchy actor Charlie Hunnam) and Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi, Norwegian Wood). These are the guys who for some as-yet-unknown reason must lock memories to control their robot fighter.
Scenes of famous cities being stomped to rubble and giants fighting each other between skyscrapers are nothing new to anyone who's seen Godzilla, a Transformers movie or The Avengers, but it's the clarity with which del Toro depicts these destructive battles that will blow casual moviegoers' minds.
Pick any Transformers flick and the fights between Decepticons and Autobots were a blur of metal; the only reason you knew what was going on was the predictability of it all. Guided by del Toro, a scene he calls "The Battle for Hong Kong" (between Raleigh and Mako's Jaeger and a glowing Kaiju) is crisp, punchy and utterly follow-able ... even as the rain falls.
Second rule of Pacific Rim: Michael Bay, prepare to get schooled.
The scale appears epic and even in plain old 2D (the film will be released in both traditional and 3D formats) scenes from a snowy beach to a neon-lit city look fantastic.
While del Toro is revered by geeks and fellow filmmakers, his work (from Hellboy to Pan's Labyrinth) has only really skirted the edges of the mainstream. Having dropped the reins of The Hobbit, it now appears Pacific Rim is his chance to break through. But if it works, it will likely be a breakthrough by stealth - there hasn't been a lot of noise about Pacific Rim among all the blockbuster season hubbub for the likes of Iron Man 3, Fast & Furious 6 and Man of Steel.
Perhaps it will be a case of those who get a Transformers vibe from the trailer heading to the cinema and discovering this movie actually looks good and has a brain.
As del Toro told US mag Entertainment Weekly, he's not about to disappoint the fanboys: "We do crazy s--- nobody has ever done. I always feared that with big budgets came big constraints, and this has been the opposite."
The budget on Pacific Rim, by the way, is estimated to be $190 million.
Third rule of Pacific Rim: Any movie where a monster from another dimension gets smacked down by a robot wielding a container ship like a hammer seems fine by us.

Tillman Still Out, But Orioles Feel They Have Other OptionsAfter starting three straight openers, Tillman will get a cortisone injection in hopes of returning sooner rather than later.
Tillman to Face Stroman In AL Wild-Card GameThe challenge of controlling two powerful lineups will fall on the starting pitchers. Marcus Stroman (9-10, 4.37 ERA) gets the nod for Toronto, with fellow right-hander Chris Tillman (16-6, 3.77) going for the Orioles.
Baltimore Orioles Take Down Detroit Tigers 3-1Chris Tillman pitched six impressive innings in his return from the disabled list, and Michael Bourn and Jonathan Schoop homered off Justin Verlander to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 3-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday.

First Half Superlatives For The Baltimore OriolesWith the Orioles currently competing for the division crown, let's take a look at our Orioles superlatives for the first half of the MLB season:
Steve Davis: Tillman's An Ace - Our AceThe Orioles are 18-3 when Tillman starts. They're a tad below .500 when anyone else starts, just 36-37. So, where would the Orioles be without Chris Tillman? Out of the playoff mix.

Scattered rain brought some relief to parts of the baking U.S. Midwest on Wednesday, but most of the region remained in the grips of the worst drought in half a century as the outlook for world food supplies and prices worsened.
The U.S. Agriculture Department forecast that food prices would now out-pace other consumer costs through 2013 as drought destroys crops and erodes supplies.
"The drought is really going to hit food prices next year," said USDA economist Richard Volpe, adding that pressure on food prices would start building later this year.
"It's already affecting corn and soybean prices, but then it has to work its way all the way through the system into feed prices and then animal prices, then wholesale prices and then finally, retail prices," Volpe said in an interview.
The USDA now sees food prices rising between 2.5 percent and 3.5 percent in 2012 and another 3-4 percent in 2013.
Food prices will rise more rapidly than overall U.S. inflation, the USDA said, a turnabout from the usual pattern. U.S. inflation is estimated at 2 percent this year and 1.9 percent in 2013. Food inflation was 3.7 percent last year but only 0.8 percent in 2010.
On Wednesday, the USDA added another 76 counties to its list of areas designated for disaster aid, bringing the total to 1,369 counties in 31 states across the country. Two-thirds of the United States is now in mild or extreme drought, the agency said.
Forecasters said that after weeks of hot, dry weather the northern Corn Belt from eastern Nebraska through northern Illinois was likely to see a second day of scattered rain. But in the southern Midwest, including Missouri and most of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, more hot, dry weather was likely.
"Most of these areas need an excess of 10 inches of rain to break the drought," said Jim Keeney, a National Weather Service meteorologist, referring to Kansas through Ohio. "This front is not expected to bring much more than a 1/2 to 1 inch in any particular area. It's not a drought buster by any means."
The central and southern Midwest saw more temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday, with St Louis at 101 F.
"There's no change in the drought pattern, just thunderstorms shifting around," said Andy Karst, a meteorologist for World Weather Inc. "There are no soaking rains seen through August 8."
The outlook sent Chicago Board of Trade grain markets higher after prices had come down from last week's record highs.
Chicago Board of Trade corn for September delivery closed 4-1/2 cents higher at $7.94-1/2 a bushel, compared to the record high of $8.28-3/4 set last week. August soybeans ended 45 cents higher at $16.94-1/4, compared to last week's record of $17.77-3/4. September wheat rose 24-1/2 cents at $9.03-1/4, compared to last week's 4-year high at $9.47-1/4.
The prices have markets around the world concerned that local food costs will soar because imports will be expensive, food aid for countries from China to Egypt will not be available, and food riots could occur as in the past.
The United States is the world's largest exporter of corn, soybeans and wheat.
Major losses in the massive U.S. corn crop, which is used for dozens of products from ethanol fuels to livestock feed, have been reported by field tours this week.
Soybeans, planted later than corn, are struggling to set pods, but if rain that has been forecast falls, soybeans may be saved from the worst effects of the drought.
A Reuters poll on Tuesday showed that U.S. corn yields could fall to a 10-year low, and the harvest could end up being the lowest in six years. Extensive damage has already been reflected in declining weekly crop reports from Corn Belt states.
"Monday's crop ratings showed losses on par with the damage seen during the 1988 drought if these conditions persist," said Bryce Knorr, senior editor for Farm Futures Magazine. "Weather so far has taken almost 4 billion bushels off the corn crop, so a lot of demand must still be rationed."
In Putnam County, Indiana, this week, crop scouts did not even stop to inspect corn fields since a glance convinced them that farmers would plow crops under rather than trying to harvest anything.
On Wednesday, scouts in central Illinois reported that some corn fields were better than expected, having benefited from early planting and pollination after a warm winter and spring.
Tom Womack of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture said some recent rains had helped soybean prospects, but "the damage that has been done to the corn has been done. No amount of rainfall will help us recover what we lost in the corn crop."
Ohio Governor John Kasich signed an order on Wednesday that will allow farmers to cut hay for their livestock from grass growing along highways adjacent to their properties.
Fire threats were growing in portions of the Plains. On Wednesday, firefighters from three north-central Nebraska counties and the National Guard battled expanding wildfires that have consumed more than 60,000 acres in the last week.
On Wednesday, helicopters dumped water on wildfires, ignited by lightning, that have been burning since the weekend in the Niobrara River Valley.
"We are making progress, but continued support is needed," Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman said.
In Missouri, one of the nation's driest states, the highway patrol said smoke from grass and brush fires was creating "very dangerous driving conditions." Discarded cigarettes were cited as a factor in those fires.
Across the Midwest, cities and towns restricted water use for gardens and lawns and tried to save stressed trees with drip bags. Reservoir and river levels were low and being carefully watched, and restrictions were placed on barge movements along the Mississippi River and recreational boating.
The U.S. drought has been blamed on the El Nino phenomenon in the western Pacific Ocean, a warming of sea temperatures that affects global atmosphere and can prevent moisture from the Gulf of Mexico from reaching the U.S. Midwest breadbasket.
Some scientists have warned that this year's U.S. drought, already deemed the worst since 1956, is tied to climate factors that could have even worse effects in coming years.
Dangerously hot summer days have become more common across the Midwest in the last 60 years, and the region will face more potentially deadly weather as the climate warms, according to a report issued by the Union of Concerned Scientists (USC) on Wednesday.
The report looked at weather trends in Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Minneapolis and St. Louis and smaller cities such as Peoria, Illinois, and Toledo, Ohio.
The report found that the number of hot, humid days has increased, on average, across the Midwest since the 1940s and 1950s, while hot, dry days have become hotter.
Finding relief from the heat has become more difficult, as all the cities studied now have fewer cool, dry days in the summer and night-time temperatures have risen.
"Night-time is typically when people get relief, especially those who don't have air conditioning," said Steve Frenkel, UCS's Midwest office director. "The risks of heat-related illness and death increase with high nighttime temperatures."
In Chicago, more than 700 deaths were attributed to a heat wave in July 1995. With more extreme summer heat, annual deaths in Chicago are projected to rise from 143 from 2020-2029 to 300 between 2090-2099, the report said.

yea what dunk said.to simplify, you can program in any language you want.you just need a compiler that changes what you write into machine code that is readable for the particular microcontroller you want. that machine code is determined by the manufacturer.any language -> compiler -> machine codeyou just need to find a compiler that works with your perfered language
but how do you find out what mechanical code the microcontroller is programed in.

The fight over patents between Apple and Samsung is a continuing saga, with each company dealing body blows in courts around the world.
Samsung is taking the fight to the street. At least for a week.
The iPhone 4S launch Friday morning (Australia time) has prompted Samsung to rent a pop-up store just feet away from the Sydney Apple store's front door. Samsung is offering its Galaxy S II for just $2 (for one week only).
And the line for the Galaxy is reportedly longer than the one for the iPhone, says the Muswellbrook Chronicle.
The ambush is also touting Samsung's music subscription service, Music Hub -- a competitor with Apple's iCloud offering.
The legal fight continues over patents and technology in each company's products. Apple has blocked Samsung's Galaxy tablet in Australia. Meanwhile, Samsung has filed suit in France and Italy to block the iPhone 4 S.

A couple of weeks ago, we highlighted how frequently Education Secretary Michael Gove prayed in aid of Steve McQueen movies to get his message across.
I suggested glibly that the next time he referred to the Hollywood movie legend, it would be good if he could cite The Great Escape after heroically saving the nation from a national teachers' strike next month.
Well, he hasn't quite done that – but he is at least half way there.
Leaders of the National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT) have decided not to join their colleagues in the National Union of Teachers (NUT) in staging a one-day strike on 26 March to protest at the Education Secretary's pay reforms, plans to increase their pension contributions, and their excessive workload.
In a statement, the union said its members were still just as angry at the way they perceived they had been treated – but that there would be no strike action this term.
It's no mean achievement for Mr Gove to have driven a wedge between the two unions. Up until now, their boast was that his one achievement since taking office had been to unite them.
The NASUWT cited two developments as having influenced its decision not to strike: the decision of the School Teachers' Review Body not to bow to requests from Mr Gove to rewrite their contracts and jettison restrictions on the number of hours and days they worked (and Mr Gove's acceptance of that recommendation), and his decision to finally set up a meeting with the unions to discuss their action.
I have long thought that the union's strategy over strike action has been flawed – sporadic strikes every few months do not seem to be changing anyone's mind and are likely just to inconvenience parents who have to make childcare arrangements.
To have a serious chance of persuading the Government to change its mind, they would have to resort to a longer form of continuous strike action. I doubt, though, whether there is the support for that in the profession.
In the meantime, it will be interesting to see how much support will be mustered for the NUT's action on 25 March.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Imbree Early OriginsThe surname Imbree was first found in Perthshire where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects. Imbree Spelling VariationsImbree Spelling Variations Flemish surnames are characterized by a large number of spelling variations. One reason for this is that medieval English lacked definite spelling rules. The spellings of surnames were also influenced by the official court languages, which were French and Latin. Names were rarely spelled consistently in medieval times. Scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to specific spelling rules, and people often had their names registered in several different forms throughout their lives. One of the greatest reasons for change is the linguistic uniqueness of the Flemish settlers in England, who spoke a language closely related to Dutch. The pronunciation and spelling of Flemish names were often altered to suit the tastes of English-speaking people. In many cases, the first, final, or middle syllables of surnames were eliminated. The name has been spelled Imrie, Imray, Imre, Imbrie and others. Imbree Early HistoryImbree Early HistoryThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Imbree research.

Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Talk
- - Mares.
Mares. 125 Attachment(s) okay. well ive had 2 horses in the past. one was a gelding and one was a mare. personally i feel like i get along better with geldings because i feel they are (for the most part) less moody then mares tend to be. recently ive been shopping around for horses again and my grandfathers friend has a free 15 year old reg. QH mare that they absolutly want me to look at. im a bit sceptical since its a mare and ive had horrible expierences with mares. tell me youre storys about mares you never thought you'd get along with.:lol: and how you knew when you guys clicked. |
That's funny because I have always preferred mares myself, not sure why. But then I only ever had 1 that acted marish at all and the extent of that was it was a real pain to walk her down the barn aisle, she has to stop, squat, and wink at every stall, lol. I once had someone tell me that if you get a good mare you get a great horse and if you get a great gelding you get a good horse. Just what someone told me. I have had geldings as well and like them just fine. I think it has a whole lot more to do with your personality and the horses and whether or not you click, not so much the sex, or the color, etc. My suggestion is what could it hurt to look at her. But don't make your decision on just because she is free. |
I've always ridden geldings, the one mare I was put on was a complete psycho that no one wanted to ride. (I suffered from a little bit of 'black stallion syndrome' and thought I could tame her lol) Since then, I've always gotten along better with geldings and I assumed that's what I'd always have. But this weekend I'll be riding my boss's mare for the first time, and I'm SO excited because I've completely fallen in love with her. She's drop dead gorgeous, but she is very mare-ish. She doesn't get along with any other females, just the old friesian gelding next to her. She lunges at other horses in the aisle, threatens to bite when you put her blanket on, etc. Yet I still love her personality because she has an extremely sweet and loyal side, she really wants to please you. Who knows how the ride will go this weekend but I love her when I'm on the ground at least! Might as well go look at this horse, what could it hurt? |
A horse is a horse. Personally I prefer mares and own two. there both witchy but I love my 10 yr old And she's broke to death I can put a 5 year old on her. I just got on my filly for the first time she did nothing. I find some geldings bratty and lazy. They try to get out of work more in my opinion. But I loved some I had alot. My last colt was a Very willing little horse. It just depends on the rider I think and how well you deal with Moody horses. But at 15 this mare should be pretty well broke and mature mentally. It doesn't hurt to try her out. Posted via Mobile Device |
The majority of mares I know have very gelding-like personalities. They aren't mareish or hussies when in heat. In fact, you wouldn't even know they were in heat. I prefer mares. I like their mareish attitudes more than geldings. I didn't even notice Abby was in heat until she met another little pony mare while the vet was up for everyone last week and they both did this little squeaky noise. She's not a jerk, nor does she throw her butt around to geldings, etc. Won't hurt to go check her out. |
I have a mare and a gelding, I don't find much difference in them except for personalities. The last time my mare was in heat, she tormented my gelding like CRAZY! It was funny to watch. But she wasn't mean, spooky, witchy... nothing.. her same old self. You should go look at her! You never know what you might find! |
my mare is..mare-ish. She is a hussie when she is in heat..buuut she is very sweet and kind at the same time. I prefer mares as my horse keeps me guessing and working with her. She doesn't EVER get boring. I love her to pieces. I've ridden a gelding..I found he was a lot more calm and more willing. |
you're lucky! My mare is in heat and she throws her butt towards geldings and tries peeing on them when I'm right there! She doesn't care and it takes all my strength to get her away from her men that she looooves so much at the moment...mine can be a...skanky thing. |
All mares here...wouldn't have it any other way. None are mare-ish, all are very trusting, have lots of personality, and always give me 100%. |
125 Attachment(s) thanks guys. yeah, im going to look at her on Saturday. hopefully i can get some pics and see how everything works out. ill keep you all updated. |

Republican Party Hired To Sell Product For Oil Companies
-- by Dave Johnson
The Republican Party's hiring itself out to the oil industry for this coordinated "Drill Now" campaign reminds me of an old joke. (I'll shorten it.)
Kentucky Fried Chicken comes to the Pope and says, "We'll give you $500,000 a year to change the Lord's Prayer to 'give us this day our daily fried chicken'." The Pope says, "No way." Then they offer $1 million. The Pope gives a long spiel about this is a sacred prayer, from God, etc. They give their final offer: $10 million a year.
The next day the Pope meets with his Cardinals and says, "The good news is I have brought us $10 million a year."
"The bad news is I lost the Wonder Bread account."
The other day I wrote,
This is a political party involving itself in a corporate product marketing campaign, for money. This "drill now" campaign is funded by oil companies, and is about giving them even more special government favors. It isn't a lot different from changing a stadium's name to "Enron Stadium" or Pac Bell park" etc.Your modern Republicans -- A political party reduced to hiring itself out to sell product!
This political campaign is in conjunction with an oil industry PR campaign to try to get the government to hand them even more drilling leases than the millions of acres they already have (and sit on without drilling). It came just as oil prices peaked and suggests that oil prices peaked in order to prime the public for this campaign.

P+C tie the knot (in paris) from Peter in Motion on Vimeo.
The San Francisco City Hall elopement video we ran last year has remained a favorite of mine. I'll never forget genuinely crying when I watched a couple that I didn't even know exchange vows (with their voices removed, just music and images) and look so very happy. I know so many other people were moved by their ceremony, but I didn't expect to be blown away again by another couple who were inspired by this very video!
Chen and Peter got engaged this March after dating for ten years. Chen had bookmarked the video above after seeing it last November and remembered it when they decided to tie the knot. They knew a traditional wedding wasn't for them and that their love of travel adventures was a big part of their life, so they decided to have a "wedding for two" rather than an elopement (they told their family and friends ahead of time). Peter is a television editor so the idea of creating a video similar to April and Jeremy's was perfect. Their whirlwind trip to Paris included visiting all sorts of romantic spots around town and renting bikes in a moment that reminds me of my favorite scenes from Amelie. Chen and Peter had a beautiful ceremony and then came home where Peter edited this video (which was shot by Sean Flanigan) as a gift for his wife.
I think this is such a beautiful and sweet moment and am thankful that Chen and Peter offered to share it with us here today. Here's wishing them a lifetime of happiness. xo, grace (P.S.- Bravo on the music choice, Peter)

OMG. I remember the city hall elopement video. It was so sweet. I know I cried. And just got the best goosebumps after watching the Paris elopement.
thanks for sharing! love love!
So adorable! Great shots, loved her dress, and I couldn't help but sing along during the whole video.
Ahh the San Francisco elopement video. I sobbed the entire video, and even thinking back on it makes me teary.
The Paris video was great. It was sweet, and funny, and touching in all the right ways. I love how happy and carefree they look. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting the video! Nice way to start the weekend. In case anybody is interested, the song that was used is This Will Be Our Year by The Zombies. I like discovering music randomly like this. The video also reminds me a lot of Sharkpig's style of videos (http://vimeo.com/user2803113/videos).
Ooooh. That's our wedding song too! It doesn't pop up that often… so fun.
This was very cute! Now, I really want to see the one that inspired them! I must have missed it!!! (T^T)
What a beautiful video! They look so cute and happy together!
Oh my gosh….that was just GREAT! What a lovely tribute that little vid is, and I am kind of misty right now! Haven't seen the San Francisco video, but I think it's better that I don't, haha…..waterworks!!!
I will have been married for 28 years this December and I would totally go back and do a wedding trip to Paris complete with bikes and romantic spots. Maybe for the 30th anniversary!
What a sweet, sweet duo! Wishing you every happiness and more!
So cool to see more people are doing this. We also were inspired by April and Jeremy's wedding when planning ours. We had been dating for 9 years when we tied the knot on June 11th. We felt very blessed to have the two most important people in our lives there with us: our son Egon (5) en our daughter Ida (3), both helped by their godfathers to be our witnesses on the day. So I guess we had "a wedding for six" :-)
It was a beautiful, intimate and very personal day. Just the way we had imagined it. You can watch our "wedding video" on http://11611.tv, the website we made to share the good news with our friends and family.

Thanks very much for your response. On day three I started getting naseaus so I went
back on 60 ml. yesterday (I couldn't find your answer until today) and the naseau went away. I didn't take any today, but i guess my question is, why would someone go cold turkey if the withdrawal may not subside for days to weeks when taking 30 ml for a few days would lessen these symptoms? Or am I misunderstanding you?
And would the process go quicker if I took 30 ml every other day?

While there's no one-size-fits-all best credit card for everyone, the top American Express cards offer a little bit of something for everyone: higher cash-back rewards on everyday spending, travel point bonuses or credit to those who may not traditionally qualify.
Credit card wars: AmEx Platinum takes on Chase Sapphire Reserve, Citi Prestige with increased perks for cardholders.
This credit card company was named the best in the U.S. by J.D. Power while American Express finished 2nd.
The issuer said this week that its Serve Cash Back account will allow cardholders to earn 1% back on purchases.
Click carefully though. You don't want to mess up your credit score.
The company is teaming up with other brands to launch a loyalty program — no credit card required.
Citi will take over as the exclusive issuer of Costco's co-branded credit card, while Visa will take over as its credit card network.
Gold cardholders are getting double points at restaurants and a $100 airline fee credit … in exchange for higher annual fees.
Aretha Franklin and Mindy Kaling join the issuers' celeb endorsers in time for the Oscars.
Amex plans to appeal the decision, so how it ultimately affects your wallet remains to be seen.

Outfielder Dominique Taylor of the Lexington Legends was named Most Valuable Player in the 2014 South Atlantic League All-Star game.
Taylor entered the game in the bottom of the fifth inning as a replacement for David Dahl of Asheville in center field. Taylor doubled in the seventh inning and hit a two-run single in the 10th, putting the Southern Division team ahead 4-2. The Northern Division rallied to tie the score in the bottom of the 10th. League rules prohibit the All-Star game from going longer than 10 innings, and the game ended in a 4-4 tie.
The other Legends representative, catcher-first baseman Frank Schwindel, was 0-for-2 in the game but reached base on a force play in the 10th, stole second base, and scored along with Victor Caratini of Rome on Taylor's single.
The Legends resume regular season play Thursday night in Salisbury, Maryland against the Delmarva Shorebirds. Game time is 7:05 p.m.
Legends' Taylor named All-Star MVP

Top Definition
A term coined to reference the falling of a snowflake in Texas, which often is used as a signal from the heavens to indicate the approach of the apocalypse. School and buisiness will cease all over the state and everyone will take the day off to pray for mercy from the freezing wrath of being buried under snow. Often occurs in Febuary, once every hundred or so years. So far thtey've only been false signals and the world as we know it has not yet ended. There are some who consider the Texas Snowday as mere superstition and file it along with the Y2K bug and other such nonsensical theories. These people are considered too be uneducated and unintelligent.
"Dear lord, please rescue us from the everlasting darkness of te barren winter and restore the fire to our souls"

Never thought something like that could happen lol, jesus....A man who tried illegally downloading a Slash album says he accidentally found it to contain child pornography.
Nigel Robertson from Hull, England, admits he tried to steal the music, but insists the indecent image downloads were an accident.
"When I opened some of them up, I realised they were young girls," he told the Daily Mail. "I immediately called my wife. I was panicking. I asked her what she thought I should do and her response was to call the police.
"I was willing to take it on the chin for downloading the music. I half expected to get arrested for that but felt it was important because someone was obviously uploading this."
Now Robertson has been banned from seeing his own children for up to a year while police examine his hard drive.
"It has been a nightmare," he adds. "I feel like I am guilty until proven innocent. That is not the way I understood the British justice system to work."
Meanwhile, in unconfirmed reports, illegal downloads of music by Slash have since dropped by 2000%. Probably.
Would this incident make you think twice about downloading illegal music, or do you have another opinion on the story?

I can't help but laugh at the fact that he called his wife. He could have simply deleted it, like Dave said, instead of drawing more attention to himself.

this is almost as fantastical an excuse for being in posession of child porn as the one pete townshend cunjoured up when he was nabbed, the one where he said he only joined all those paedophile websites because he was writing a book about kiddy fiddlers.
can't believe anyone would be that dumb as to own up to it if they did honestly download it by mistake while downloading some other illegal material. I know I wouldn't.
this bit makes me laugh the most
I immediately called my wife. I was panicking. I asked her what she thought I should do and her response was to call the police.
$#@!, what the $#@! do I do if my wife walks in on me while I'm in posession of this child porn?? wait, I have an idea.... wife!!! come in here quick!!! I was downloading some copyrighted material unlawfully when I realised I got some extra things I didn't want. naturally, I was curious as to what they were, and it was only when I'd checked the first 250 images that I realised it was child porn!!! what should I do????Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you.

Lmao. You're probably right. On the face of it he seems to have good intentions but this was just a dumbass move
I wonder why he can't see his kids for a year though. Didn't think it would take that long to scan his harddrive and prove he's not uploading that stuff considering he 'turned himself in' lol
03-10-2012 #14
Yeah, I can rename any file I want and change it to any file extension I want...
see below
I would have reported it too...
Yeah, I guess if those were your kids someone exploited, you'd want someone to just delete them and move on. Who cares if some sicko is caught or not. smh

Pretty messed up though. +1 for deleting and pretending like nothing happened, though I guess I could understand him thinking this could somehow be the right decision.
But the story of that guy that got raided for CP (when someone was using his internet outside his house) would have me tripping. Would be awful to be accused of DLing that and then asked why you didn't report it ... I dunno. Wild.

it sounds to me like the sicko was caught, the whole story comes across as a bit too convenient to me. child pornography should be one of the few instances where you should be treated as guilty until proven innocent.
if you know you are innocent, delete the crap straight away, forget about it and assume someone else in a position of authority, whose job it is to search the net for child porn will uncover it. many countries have departments whose sole purpose is to actively search for this sort of content, let them do their job and don't try to be the vigilante.
you are only serving to make yourself a link in the whole paedophile chain, even if so unwittingly.Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you.

I don't think it's a poor attitude at all, that's just something we'll have to agree to disagree on.
reporting suspected paedophillia activity is one thing, owning up to having it is something else, even if it came into someones posession by accident. anyone that is found to be in posession of such material SHOULD be investigated, they SHOULD be viewed as being guilty until proven innocent, again, that's something we'll just have to agree to disagree on.
if it was a family member of mine that was victim of child pornography, then sure, I would want the people responsible to be caught (just like I do in this case), but I'd also want ANYONE that was in posession of it to be fully investigated and not be deemed to be above suspicion just because he/she claims to have received it in all innocence.Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you.

That's what this is all about though. He reported it thinking he was doing the right thing
Your explanation is assuming he got caught and then came up with this allibi to defend himself? At least that's how it reads. Why would anyone who willingly has possession of child pornography go to the police to report an incident such as this? Preemptive tactic? I don't believe so

Agreed 100%.
I need to be able to set column width. Or at least "fit to width"!
Dear Symantec,
I often create reports where the Report Generator makes very narrow columns (with just 1 character) very wide and wide columns with 50 characters too narrow and it annoys others that use them.
I have found this question and answer on Connect:
And I read and "solution" and it is clear as mud (because there is no practical example shown).
There is also no information about formatting column widths in the SMP User Guide section, "Creating custom Notification Server reports".
So, can we PLEASE either:
1) be able to set a default column width in the UI?
2) change the User Guide to include a clear example of how to do the formatting of columns, including setting default column widths?
Kindest regards,

MILWAUKEE (AP) — No charges will be filed in a nightclub fight involving Milwaukee Bucks center Larry Sanders.
The Milwaukee County District Attorney's office announced the decision Thursday after reviewing the "altercation" that happened early Sunday.
SANDERS: Center signs big extension
BUCKS: Veteran Butler fined for gesture
Sanders sat out the Bucks' 109-104 victory Wednesday night over Cleveland because of a sore thumb. The team said Sanders hurt the thumb in the previous game, a loss in the home opener last week to Toronto.
Coach Larry Drew said Thursday at practice that Sanders has told him that he should have never put himself in such a position in the first place.
"It's unfortunate that it happened, but he has to learn from it and I believe that he will. At least I hope he will." Drew said.
Sanders missed practice Monday after his wife went into labor. He missed practice Tuesday because of the thumb injury.
Sanders signed a four-year, $44 million contract extension in the offseason after a breakout 2012-13 campaign. He's averaging 2.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in three games so far this season.
The Bucks host Dallas on Saturday night.

Great day so far. Scored ammo at teh Wal-Marts, hit the shooting range, went and bought five handles of my favorite drinking whisky (and a few other goodies), had a great salad for lunch, cubed up and seasoned pork butt and back fat to makes salami out of tomorrow, and now am sipping a whisky drink with a purring cat on my lap.

David, it's very funny that you called it the Star Trek blazer, because that is exactly what my girlfriend said when she saw it :) As for sizing, I got a size 4, which fits really well. Actually, the sleeves on the size 4 I have seem to be every so slightly shorter than I expected from this size.
I've been watching this thread for awhile now and figured it was finally time to start posting (some pictures very soon!). I had a question for some of the experts on here. Recently I acquired a pair of cotton trousers from the Gothic line and have been able to find very little information on it's history. Does anyone have any insight?
Hi there,
Finally, I've made it. Just eventually received the shirt/jacket that I've spoken of this morning. It is really something!
Here're quick photos for update, sorry for the quality of the pics anyway.
Big thanks goes to David, Ivwri and Kiko. Cheers guys!
All - YY Pour Homme AW11 Look 19
Boot - Guidi 788Z
Yeah, thanks for your comment KiKo, I basically wear Yohjis with just normal Nike AirMax or easy leather sandals.
However, I'm really obsessed with the vanilla smell and shape of Guidis at the moment and I think, i will keep on sticking with this boot for a little while.
wool gabardine + wool gabardine - a formidable combination.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
YYPH SS10 Fedora Hat - ( HJ-H03-965 ) - black, 100% polypropylene mesh.
YYPH AW09 Side Tape Blazer ( HZ-J24-100 ) - in black, the blazer iteration of the Look 29 Frock Coat. 100% wool gabardine, fully lined in cupro. Size 2 oversized fit, very well made. 3B closure + 2B non-working sleeves, notch lapels, long back vent. 3 inside pockets, 1 chest + 2 bottom flapped pockets. 3 additional buttoned slit pockets ( 1 left + 2 right ) with long dangling fabric extensions, amazing in motion.
YYPH SS12 Pleatless Hakama Pants ( HB-P73-100 ) - ex-Wire.Artist's ( thanks A. ), in black.100% wool gabardine. Size 3 with a high, big waist, 7 belt loops, drawstrings + 1 horn button closure. 2 side + 2 back pockets, left one buttoned. Simple construction done superbly. Just like wearing very very wide cropped pants. The signature gabardine complements the extreme volume in motion so well.
Y's AW06 suede/canvas hi-tops, CDG H+ belt, Uniqlo SS Tee.
Guidis are great with that suit. I'm certain sandals work as well. I have my doubts about nikes, but they're comfy, and that counts.

Unless you've been living in a cave without an Internet connection, you've likely heard of Dr. Stephen Morse of San Francisco, and used the useful tools on his One-Step website to further your family history research more efficiently.
Readers in Michigan will have a chance to meet Steve personally on June 2. Learn how it all began with frustration over the Ellis Island Database search engine when it first came online and how his innovations have helped so many researchers find elusive immigrant ancestors.
He'll present "The Ellis Island Database: An Easier Way to Search," at 7pm, Monday, June 2, hosted by the Jewish Genealogical Society of Michigan, at Congregation B'nai Moshe in West Bloomfield. JGSM members, no charge.
A great guy, Steve is the originator of the grandfather of the Pentium Processor that has made all our work possible. He has revolutionized searching the Internet with his One-Step programs. He's an engaging, educational, enlightened and funny speaker, who makes complicated searching seem so easy.
If he's ever appearing in your area, do try to attend. And, if you're attending Chicago 2008, you'll be able to hear him speak on many other useful programs.

The 15 Outdoor Theatre opened on May 1, 1953, a single-screen drive-in with space for 640 cars. By 1955 it was known as the Highway 15 Drive-In and was operated by National Drive-In Inc. After a windstorm in 1984 blew down the screen tower, the drive-in was closed and never reopened and was later demolished.

Was more than a windstorm. I witnessed the huge bolt of lightning that ripped through the structure of the screen. I lived about 3 blocks from the site at the time and it was visible from our second story window. The owners at the time did not have insurance so they were forced to sell the property. Their plan was to have it re-open within about a month.
This opened on May 1st, 1953.

LivingSocial's John Bax On Google's Near $6 Billion Bid For Groupon: "I Think They Are Underpaying"
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, December 2, 2010
I think [Google is] getting a steal, I think they underpaying," said LivingSocial's John Bax at today's IGNITION: The Future of Media conference, in reference to Google's near $6 billion bid for Groupon, which some have called wildly excessive. "[Groupon] should hold out for $12 billion or $18 billion..."
Bax was half-joking, but he went on to discuss the value of the social commerce business. "No one has cracked local advertising, a lot of people are trying different angles... Groupon works with tens of thousands of local businesses, they are generating a lot of cash."
"The most well-read publication now might be Groupon," said Ben Lerer, the CEO of Thrillist, who was also part of the same IGNITION panel discussion.
"I don't think $6 billion is a crazy price," said Bax. "I think it might be cheap."
