You know that feeling when you just can't stop running around with the thoughts in your mind? It's exhausting. Whether you're low on brainstorming juices, need to make a decision, or just clear your head, here are three poses that are tried, tested, and true.
What to do: Get on your knees, take the big toes together and knees out wide and reach your arms ahead of you while sitting your bum back to your heels. Let your chest and belly fall through towards the ground and just breath. If you want to take the variation in the photo, take your hands to prayer hands and place them behind your head to free up your upper back and shoulders.
Note: You can also place a blanket or cushion underneath your knees and underneath your bum (between sitbones and heels) for comfort.
Bring your awareness to the ground beneath you (really feeling the points of contact- knees, feet, forehead, elbows, etc) and your breath- counting out 8-10 breaths or more.
Why should I do this: Not only is this a very humbling posture as you are quite literally bowing down to your yoga mat/ the "universe"; but also, with the hands behind the head, it allows you to feel "protected" and creates a safe space for you to just sit with your breath for a moment. By focusing on the breath, you allow all the thoughts to fall away one by one until you get a sense of clarity.
What to do: From standing, take your feet to hip width distance apart. Soften your knees and focus on pushing your bum back and up as you hinge forwards at the hips. Drop the top of your head towards the ground to relax the back of your neck.
Note: Knees can stay bent to free up the hamstrings, or to allow for fingers to touch the ground. Other alternatives are to take hold of opposite elbows.
Once again, count out 8-10 breaths or more.
Why should I do this: When we feel like our thoughts are all over the place, it's often helpful to look inwards to see what that little voice inside says. This is a pose in which we are doing this on a very physical level, and as a result, facilitates it on a mental level.
What to do: From all fours, take the very top of your head (eg. NOT the forehead) to the ground (or in my case, a folded up blanket). Take your hands and place them to either side of your head, just in front of your face so that your head and your two hands form a triangle-esque shape. You want to be able to see your hands from your peripheral vision. Press firmly into your hands and squeeze the elbows in towards your body (think: chata pushup). Tuck your toes and come into downward dog legs. Walk your feet in close to your face --> this will take your bum overtop of your shoulders with an element of control. When you feel like your bum is stacked overtop of your shoulders (note: you will feel this, there's no second guessing this sensation as you feel remotely steady), lift your feet on the ground and place your knees on your triceps continuing to squeeze your elbows in.
To get into headstand: Pressing firmly into your hands and staying strong through your arms and rhomboids (between your shoulder blades), start to tip your weight so that your bum is overtop of your shoulders even more. You will need to pull your lower belly in/ core in to help stabilize. From there, you will slowly lift your knees off of your arms (as seen in the second picture) and eventually straighten your legs up overhead.
For a step by step photo version, check out one of our fav gals- Carolyn Budgell here.
Tip: Make sure there's plenty of room on the other side of you. If you feel yourself falling out, tuck (chin in!) and roll! Also, note that you want VERY LITTLE weight on your actual head. Your hands and arms and core are keeping you up.
Why should I do this: You are literally flipping your perspective. Headstands are also a little bit playful and take us all out of our element, which in turn helps us lighten up. After all, why so serious?

Throughout The Car Industry
Feds Tell California To Put On The Brakes Regarding Fuel Economy Standards
Californians love to say, "So goes California, so goes the rest of the country." This means that if something happens on the west coast then pretty soon everyone will be following suit. In reality, that attitude doesn't actually travel well beyond the west coast! Such is the case with California's race to lower fuel economy standards.
As the government has rushed to tell automakers how to improve fuel economy in new vehicles, automakers registered "displeasure." Okay, they pitched a fit at the Obama administration for moving too fast. Something had to be done, said the automakers. California, being in a mellow mood, agreed.
Here's what occured: The EPA and the U.S. Department of Transportation invited California over for a chat. After exchanging pleasantries, they got down to business. The result was that all sides now will release their new sets of standards on September 1st and a bold new agreement has been established. We'll all sleep easy tonight!
Had it not been for this agreement, California would have stepped up to the microphones and made their own tailpipe emissions standards for cars announcement as early as March. Meanwhile, back in Washington, the government wasn't going to be ready for the exact same announcement until September. Everyone just had to get on the same page. This new joint announcement provoked a round of "huzzahs" from the automakers and a major environmental group.
"Only the federal government can balance nationwide the need to reduce oil consumption and emissions with the preservation of a vital manufacturing sector," said the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which represents the Detroit Big Three automakers along with Toyota and 7 other automotive companies.
From the opposite end of the spectrum, Roland Hwang, transportation program director of the Natural Resources Defense Council, said the agreement "is important recognition that California is a full partner in developing the next generation of national car standards."
The first round in the fuel efficiency war was fired by the Obama administration when the government issued a preliminary proposal that would require automakers to increase fuel efficiency up to a whooping 62 mpg by 2025. Guess who didn't like that announcement? The automakers. Guess who loved it? The consumer activists and environmental groups. Apparently, when it comes to fuel efficiency, you can't please all of the people all of the time, but either way, the final proposal will need to be signed, sealed and delivered by 2012.

Traveling with 505 tons of stuff ... Devil Doll ... Pluto's Comback! ... Flying taxis ... Warren G. Harding
News for Inquiring Minds
The king of Saudi Arabia, Salman bin Abdulaziz, took 505 tons of luggage on a nine-day trip to Indonesia, including two Mercedes limousines and a two sets of specially designed escalators, one of which he used to descend from his private Boeing 747 upon landing in Jakarta. An air freight company needed 572 workers to load the stuff on a cargo plane. The Indonesian news agency Antara reported the king is traveling with a staff of 1,500 people – including 10 ministers, 800 delegates and 25 princes – who flew ahead to Indonesia in 36 flights over three weeks.
Bride of Chuckie
German authorities are urging parents to destroy or throw away an internet-connected doll that talks "Siri-style" with children. Germans, who have some of the strongest anti-spying laws in the world, say the Cayla doll is vulnerable to hacking. At a minimum, authorities are telling parents to rip out the doll's internal microphone.
There's a movement afoot to have Pluto, discovered by New Mexico State University astronomy professor Clyde Tombaugh, reclassified as a planet again. The International Astronomical Union says Pluto meets what the group deems the basic definition of a planet – a body made round by its own gravity. That would rule out all the oddly shaped chunks of ice floating around in the Kuiper Belt also discovered by Tombaugh. Pluto, first sighted in 1930, was demoted from planet status in 2006. Another 108 planetoids in the solar system would also be eligible for planet status if Pluto is upvoted.
Starting in July, residents of Dubai will be able to summon a pilotless helicopter drone to whisk them over the gridlocked Middle Eastern city at 63 miles an hour. A company plans to deploy a fleet of battery-powered Chinese-made EHang 184 helicopters, each of which can carry one person weighing up to 220 pounds about 31 miles. Passengers will punch in a destination on a touch screen, and controllers on the ground will monitor the air taxi's progress. The United Arab Emirates wants 25 percent of all passenger trips to be made by driverless vehicles by 2030. The EHang 184 costs between $159,000 and $244,000.
Presidential pee
The Marion, Ohio, home of Warren G. Harding, who died of a heart attack while in office in 1923, boasts what is probably the most extensive collection of presidential artifacts of any presidential museum. Items include Harding's underwear, cigar humidor and even a handheld urinal he used in his sickbed that still contains traces of presidential urine.

Boil 1/2 pound of potatoes for 25 minutes; rice or mash. Save potato water
2 T yeast in 1 C warm milk or water (could be saved potato water); let this sit before adding
1 t cider vinegar
2 T unsweetened applesauce
2 large eggs
1/3 C dry milk (or dry buttermilk powder)
1/2 t salt
2 T sugar
3/4 t each baking powder & baking soda
1/2 t lecithin
2 t xanthum gum
1 t guar gum
3/4 C sorghum flour (or other gluten-free flours: millet, buckwheat, potato, etc.; but not rice: too bland)
3/4 C potato starch
1/2 C tapioca flour
1/4 C corn flour (not meal)
1/4 C almond flour
1/2 C sweet rice flour
Mix, put in bread pan; let rise about an hour. Bake in 375º F oven for 50 to 60 minutes
OR make 8 rolls, let rise on pan for 45 minutes and bake in 375º F oven for 25-35 minutes
And these thickeners are roughly equivalent: potato starch, cornstarch, tapioca flour, sweet rice flour. In a pinch, potato flour can be substituted for SOME of the potato starch.
Try other cooked grains as a substitute for the riced potatoes. E.g., 1/2 C sorghum grain in 1 C water cooked for 60-65 minutes covered OR 1/2 C gluten-free rolled oats in 1 C water cooked for 10 minutes uncovered OR….

Fresh off an apology for describing black actor Idris Elba as "too street" to play James Bond, franchise author Anthony Horowitz announced this week how he intends to slowly drag the fictional British spy into the 21st Century's cultural cesspool.
The Telegraph reports during a conversation with radio station RTE Tuesday, the Trigger Mortis author revealed the delicate balancing act of writing such a classic character in an era of political correctness.
While Bond might not yet be ready for a full-on cultural cleansing, he is being hit head-on with the realities of the modern world, per the author.
"One of the challenges of writing the book was that attitude that a heterosexual man can change a woman's life and make her go weak at the knees," said Horowitz. "That's something that would be challenged, I think, in the 21st century."
Because guys like Bond have lost their edge with today's readers, the author pits him with a live-in girlfriend, which is far from the solitary character fans know and love.
The character who has lived an envious life of debauchery for more than 50 years is now arguing over food with his domesticated femme fatale, to the tone of "an uneasy silence full of dark thoughts and words unsaid."
"With women, he has this sort of patronizing carnal attitude with them which is absolutely accurate to the Bond of the books. But then by creating very strong women he is given quite a run for his money and his attitudes are challenged," Horowitz said.
To further his cultural assimilation, 007 now has an "outspoken" new friend.
"I also gave him a very outspoken gay friend, who chides him and says 'come on Bond, you're living in the 20th century now not the Middle Ages.'"
Bond also remains a chainsmoker, who enjoys his drinks, but is also coming to terms with the consequences of his actions.
"He does smoke cigarettes, he smokes many many cigarettes. But then what I do is I nudge him with a little reference to a newspaper article he happens to glance at which just reminds him that these things will give him cancer."
"How do you remain true to the original creation and concept and yet at the same time not offend people in the 21st century?" Horowitz asked.
The author also said traditional fans must remember Ian Fleming's stories were "of their time."

Here is the script used for the podcast:
Welcome to the cool tools podcast series; a collection of podcasts describing some of today's latest tools. Visit the blog at http://cooltoolslibrary2.blogspot.com/.
My name is Thomas and on this podcast I am going to talk about Google Calendar. You can visit the Google Calendar webpage at calendar.google.com. As the webpage says "Simplify. Organize. (And relax.) Organizing your schedule shouldn't be a burden." This is not just another calendar tool that attempts to solve the problem of organizing times and dates. This calendar has so many more features that are constantly being updated.
As you could probably guess, this tool is in the suite of products offered by Google. Google takes its approach to the calendar dilemma by using the platform of the web. There is no software to download or license to buy; just sign up for a free Google account and you are on your way. By having it on the web, Google can offer Calendar to anyone that has a supported web browser and access to the internet.
By now you probably want to hear some of the great features employed by Google.
Starting off, the tool is easy to use. The first visit to your Calendar will give you an immediate response on what to do. Go ahead and click on any date to add an event. It is that easy. After clicking on a date, there are two ways to add an event. One is to fill out the "What:" field and then clicking on "Create Event." This is the "Quick Add" feature. The other is to click on the "edit event details." This will take you to a more detailed screen where you can fill out as many details as you want. This is also where you can do the next feature, inviting other people to the event.
Inviting people is easy. After clicking "edit event details," go ahead and click on "Add Guests." You can enter in people's email addresses and Google Calendar will do the rest for you. It is okay if the invitee does not use Google Calendar, they will be able to receive the invitation and post responses.
Do you have some people that you want to share your calendar with? Google Calendar deals magnificently with viewing other people's calendars as well as telling them about yours. It is so easy to use. Just click on the "add" button where the calendars are located (on the left of the screen) and follow the on screen instructions. From there you can turn off other people's calendars (if it is filling up your calendar view) or turn them on (to see what they are doing).
There are also public event calendars for viewing. These calendars are events that are going on in your area that have publicized on Google Calendar. You can get to these calendars by searching for them. That leads into the next feature; search.
What would a Google tool be without a search feature? At the top of the screen, Google added a search box so that you can search your events and your friends' events with ease. Public event calendars are also incorporated into the search.
Now for all you mobile users out there, Google has added some features to help you out in using your cell phone for remembering those hard to remember occasions. One feature is the mobile calendar website. Point your mobile device to mobile.google.com and click on the calendar link. It'll take you to a wonderfully designed mobile site with all your calendar info. Another mobile tool that Google and implemented is the SMS feature. For any event that you add, you can have Google send a text message to your cell phone reminding you of the event.
Finally, I am going to mention the Gmail integration. If you have a Gmail account (that's Google's solution for email), then you have a powerful tool combination. Let's say that someone emails you with their birthday party information. It is a pain to add that into your calendar manually. So why not let Google do it for you. Google recognizes calendar event information and prompts you on the right of an email if you would like to add it to your calendar.
So go ahead and give Google Calendar a go. It is definitely worth trying out.
For more cool tools, feel free to visit the cool tool blog at http://cooltoolslibrary2.blogspot.com/. Thanks for listening and have fun organizing your life with Google!

Studio "RIF", 2008, 120 min. Hebrew, Russian, English subtitles
Screenplay – Zhanna Korsunsky, Director – Alexander Cherney
Composer – Sergei Megirov
Actors – Dana Kucherovsky, Roni Alperin.
In the midst of the Gulf War in February, 1991, a new immigrant arrived from Russia to Israel. Masha is a young, intelligent, single woman, who specializes in classical Russian poetry. During the war in Israel, this poetry is somehow out of place. Saddam Hussein was lobbing rockets on Tel Aviv, people were sitting in bomb shelters, sealing their windows with adhesive tape and our heroine is trying to sort out her life. Her friend, Dina, unlike Masha, is a practical woman, who works in a phone sex office in order to feed her family. Masha is surrounded by local philanderers. Her landlord makes passes at her, her employer at a brokerage office fires her for putting salt in his coffee instead of sugar and rejecting his amorous advances.
And then, a man appeared on the horizon – a prince of a man with a Volvo, a yacht and other temptations. Masha agrees to be the mother of his child but their relationship takes a completely unexpected turn.
The war ended on the Feast of Purim. The Allies defeated Saddam, rockets stopped falling on Israel and happy people emerged from the bomb shelters onto the streets. And just as during the Jewish holiday of Purim, a miracle happened to our heroine.

Australian broadband operator ponders nextgen PON
Created April 24, 2017
Australia's National Broadband Network (nbn) has partnered with Nokia to trial new NG-PON2 fibre technology as a means of delivering symmetrical speeds of 10 Gbits/s to its Fibre To The Premises (FTTP) end-user buildings. This is ten times faster than the current nbn top FTTP speeds of 1 Gbits/s.
In tandem with technologies such as G.fast or XG.FAST, a future deployment of NG-PON2 could also benefit end-users connected to retail services over nbn's Fibre To The Basement (FTTB) and Fibre To The Curb (FTTC) networks. Additionally, it could provide extra capacity in the fibre that supports nbn's HFC and fixed wireless networks.

The press fit as bad as it may look does not concern me as much as the steppers holding ballscrew in place. The reason being is I can measure the shaft of the motor moving along the motors axis as the load on the ballscrew changes. Inside the motor is a spring washer, if you pickup a stepper and try pulling and pushing the shaft you will see it takes very little force to move it. Maybe your lathe has different types of steppers with thrust bearings built in, or maybe its designed to work within the range of the spring washer inside?CNC routing and prototyping services www.cncscotland.co.uk

I wasn't actually meaning specifically CNC machines! I was thinking about any machinary in general.
The fact is though, in this particular application, I doubt the steppers/ballscrews will generate enough force to move the ballnuts in the extrusion. It's quite smart, in that it does the job while reducing parts count and the amount of machining needed. Maybe not the ideal way to do it, but perfectly functionable.
Large CNC machine builders won't do it because of serviceability. Pressing something into something easily handled is a bit different from something pressfitted into a lump of iron weighing several hundred kg. There's also the manufacturing issue. A few tapped holes, with a locating boss is easier than a single tight tolerance pressfit.
I'm not defending MD though, especially given the prices. I'm just saying the methods used are maybe not ideal, but they're still perfectly functional.

Looking at this it seems the machine isnt getting any better. Press fits are normally ok with certain materials but not pressing steel into aluminium especially when its not actually been machined to fit it in the first place and its supposed to be a permanent fit. The more I read this the more I'm glad I managed to send all my stuff back to them and get a refund although it was a struggle to get it.
I would go with Jazz recommendation and get a grub screw through the side of the alu to hold the nut in place. Remember you just want to dimple the casing of the nut for the grub screw to locate into and get some thread locker on it.
16-01-2013 #49
Can't see how a grub screw would help much in this case, no where to put it really, with the centre of the profile rail machined away the fit is only relying on 4 very small points of contact so you would need at least a grub screw either side but there is a big gap between the profile rail & the ballnut which would probably make the grubscrew ineffective.

Our designs have been through many years of development as our business has grown, we have automated many of our processes using our machines, to produce components for sale via eBay and worldofcnc. Any issue we would evaluate and redesign.
As the majority of our customers have business interests and therefore purchase a machine that is task related, we can adapt one of our many designs accordingly.
Press fit ballnut?
The ballnuts are not press fit….we use RSW ballnuts with an external V thread, the centre aluminium profile is bored and threaded to accept the RSW ballnut…
This range of machines are supplied to the world's leading probing manufacturers, in tests we achieve an accuracy of less than 0.010mm/300mm of the whole machine.
Later this year, all our Ballscrew driven machines will be fitted with thrust bearings this will align our product with our Class 5 preload Ballscrew driven machines and coincide with our 5 axis CNC being launched.
The floating end of a Ballscrew….
What happens if the Ballscrew spindle became warm? The spindle would need to expand along its length, hence the term floating.
If anyone would like to discuss in more detail please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call us 01805 628222 (phone line currently down however will be working again in the next day or so)
Many thanks

The official results of the recent parliamentary elections held in Armenia largely reflect the will of its people, a senior European Union diplomat insisted on Friday.
In an interview with RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am), Herbert Salber, the EU's special representative for the South Caucasus, defended the EU's largely positive assessment of the conduct of the April 2 elections. He suggested that irregularities reported by international observers were not serious enough to significantly affect their outcome.
"Nobody says that these elections were perfect," Salber said during his latest visit to Armenia. "Not even the leadership of this country. They recognize that there are things which have to be improved in the future."
"But if we put the elections into a comparison with what happened before and also with what happens in other countries in the region, then probably it is fair to say that these elections were reasonably well-organized, that the processes which took place on election day were OK, and that these elections more or less reflect the will of the people here," he added.
On April 4, a spokesperson for Federica Mogherini, the EU's foreign policy chief, echoed European observers' preliminary conclusion that the elections were marred by "credible information about vote-buying" and voter intimidation, even though "fundamental freedoms were generally respected." "The election result nevertheless reflects the overall will of the Armenian people," she said in a statement.
Salber likewise said it is clear from the observers' findings that the irregularities "probably did not modify significantly the outcome." "Nobody denies the shortcomings," he said. "But in comparison with what we have seen before in Armenia, probably we can say that there was some progress."
Most Armenian opposition groups say the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) won the elections primarily because of vote buying. Some of them have also alleged more serious irregularities.

4.1.2 The role of mobile operators and the private sector
Mobile operators serve a vital role in the provision of m-learning services by providing the connectivity that underpins such services. However, operators can take additional actions to further support increased access to educational content. For example, operators can offer discounted service fees for schools and educational institutions, or discounts for calling, SMS messages or data downloads of educational resources. Operators can also offer their expertise or network resources to assist in content aggregation and storage. Such resources can include webinars, podcasts, text recaps of lessons and educational video games. 131
By developing or improving their managed services capabilities to cater to the m-learning market, operators can enable the development of robust mobile education platforms. In addition, operators can take steps to ensure that students and other young users are protected from malicious activity or content – not only by adhering to existing regulations but by offering protections beyond those required by law. Mobile operators also have expertise in areas that could support and strengthen m-learning initiatives, including customer care, technical support, and device management. 132
For m-learning to positively affect education in a substantive way, educators and policymakers will need to forge new partnerships with industries and stakeholders that have not historically been involved in education, or whose core competency may lie outside educational fields. 133 For example, Qualcomm partnered with the ministries of education in Jordan and Singapore to bring 3G into the classroom.
The Jordan Education Initiative (JEI) is supporting a pilot project that in the fall of 2011 gave more than 200 students (grades 7-10) and 35 teachers at two schools 3G-enabled netbooks to conduct online research, complete multi-media presentations, and collaborate better. The netbooks have classroom management software allowing teachers to send and receive student assignments. Some teachers are creating their first email accounts and are learning how to communicate with other teachers and students using the Internet. 134 For this project, Qualcomm partnered with JEI, the Jordanian Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Information Communications Technology.
Singapore's Ministry of Education promotes a framework for transforming the learning environment for students. To promote self-directed learning and a collaborative learning environment, 350 third-grade students and their teachers at Nan Chiau Primary School were given smartphones. This gave students anytime access to educational content, web-based resources and a broad range of learning tools that support self-directed and collaborative learning. 135 For this project, Qualcomm partnered with Microsoft, the National Institute of Education, Nokia, SingTel, and the University of Michigan.

The ghosts of 2009's biggest stinkers come a-calling this week, as John and El'Ahrai run down their lists of the Five Worst Movies of the Year! We're not saying Shane Acker needs a new agent, just implying that he needs a new career. Plus! Reviews of "Sherlock Holmes" and "Family Guy: Something Something Something Dark Side"! This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons.

2009 is winding down, and El'Ahrai and John are looking back over the year to see what they missed--yes, it's time for the third annual How'd We Miss THAT Show! Plus! A Count/Pointercount review of James Cameron's "Avatar"! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I'm going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome.

Chicago! City of the big shoulders, place of the wild onion, keeper of perpetual hope, despair, outrage, and especial joy--and that's just the baseball teams. This week, John and El'Ahrai run down lists of the Top 5 Movies About Chicago. Plus! Reviews of "An Education" and "The Nail"! First of all, I'd like to thank all of you who've flown in from the States. I'm really touched. As for the rest of you, I'd have thought that lots of frightful Americans flying in was an excuse for staying away, so I thank you, too.

Great tutorial I really like the look of this card particularly the ragged edge of the yellow fabric
very nice card )
did you know a great way to get a feathery edge on the mulberry paper is to use a wet paint brush to mark out your edge then gently tear it then just tease out the fibres with your fingers.

About ORA:
The Organization for the Resolution of Agunot believes that a get (writ of Jewish divorce) must never be used as a weapon. The Jewish divorce process requires the participation of both parties; all too often, a spouse refuses to comply in order to control the other party and utilize the get to extort concessions. ORA strives to eliminate the infliction of abuse within the Jewish divorce process. ORA resolves current cases of get-refusal by combining facilitation with advocacy and prevents future cases by promoting the universal adoption of halakhic prenuptial agreements.
ORA operates under the halakhic guidance of Rav Hershel Schachter, rosh yeshiva at the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary of Yeshiva University.

Perhaps it was the fact he didnt have turnout that day, perhaps he was punishing me for taking Saturday off… but Bentley was a total goon on Sunday!
It started off with him being super hyper with a giant trot that was a little too much for the size of the arena. We also had a bit of a scare, as he decided he didn't like the mud near the door of the arena (which had seeped under the door from the rain). While I kept him steered away most laps of the arena, one of those big trots led us to take the corner a bit too deep, and the lack of attention he was giving my aids led us straight for it. Instead of going sideways (as I was directing him) he dipped a toe… MUD! I HATE MUD! He seemed to say, lept up, forward, bucked and who knows what else, but I swear we didnt touch ground for what seemed like an eternity… bending, twisting and flying through the air. I ended up on the side of his neck and very close to busting through the door with my body.
I dont know how but we regained control. He must have been embarassed and stopped because I doubt I could have done much from the position I was in, but I did manage to scramble up into the saddle without eating dirt. Funny thing was after that, he took us through the mud again, and didnt seem to care at all.
The jumps were still set up in the arena, and since he was now starting to respect my commands but still clearly had a lot of energy to burn, I figured we would blow off the steam jumping. It has worked before! Well it did work… after 20 minutes of jump work we had the most beautiful trot we have ever had. Consistent in rhythm and contact, supple and with lots of impulsion without running off. It was a beautiful end result, however getting there wasnt as pretty.
Like the weird mud fiasco, I didn't quite understand horsey logic when it came to jumping. He was wonderful for the first few jumps we tried, but then we came to a very small (no more than 2 feet) vertical… the second smallest jump in the ring. A jump that we had taken without problem (even set higher) several times earlier in the week. Perhaps it was because it was on an angle, perhaps it was because he could see a more enticing opportunity, but that tiny vertical gave us so many problems!
Let me explain. There was a new jump in the ring. Let me redirect to the setup we had on our Wednesday night ride:
See where those 2 verticals meet? well imagine now a large 3′ raised skinny oxer to the left of that point… no more gap. No reasonable escape. But that became the jump of choice for Bentley. We would do the crossrail line, roll back to the larger vertical and back over the crossrail, roll back to what would have been the small vertical with intention of jumping the small oxer, and maybe if we were really confident at the end, try the raised oxer. Instead of going over the small jump however, he would deek right at the last minute, and jump the oxer backwards. Seriously? How is that less scary? Silly horse… as I said… I just cant follow the horse logic.
It took us going all the way back down to the walk, and trotting only 2 strides out to get that small vertical. Every time we went any faster he would opt for the larger choice. Eventually we got it, and cooled out with the lovely trot I mentioned earlier.
I think someone likes the big stuff.

Food Deprivation, Body Weight Loss and Anxiety-Related Behavior in Rats
AbstractIn behavioral studies, food deprivation protocols are routinely used to initiate or maintain motivational states that are required in a particular test situation. However, there is limited evidence as to when food deprivation compromises animal welfare. This study investigated the effects of different lengths of food deprivation periods and restricted (fixed-time) feeding on body weight loss as well as anxiety-related and motivated behavior in 5–6 month old male and female Wistar rats. The observed body weight loss was not influenced by sex and ranged between 4% (16 h deprivation) to approximately 9% (fixed-time feeding). Despite significant body weight loss in all groups, the motivation to eat under the aversive test conditions of the modified open field test increased only after 48 h of food deprivation. Long-lasting effects on anxiety as measured in the elevated plus maze test 24 h after refeeding have not been observed, although fixed-time feeding could possibly lead to a lasting anxiogenic effect in female rats. Overall, female rats showed a more anxiolytic profile in both tests when compared to male rats. Despite these sex differences, results suggest that food deprivation is not always paralleled by an increased motivation to feed in a conflict situation. This is an important finding as it highlights the need for tailored pilot experiments to evaluate the impact of food deprivation protocols on animals in regard to the principles of the 3Rs introduced by Russell and Burch.

Life is sweet, especially since a batch of home-baked cookies can still make someone's day.
Butter and sugar prices may give some bakers pause this holiday season.
Don't let them.
We've scoured through the new batch of cookbooks and baked up a selection of cookies with an eye on tight food budgets.
One recipe requires no butter, another uses shortening, one is light on sugar, and some don't skimp at all.
Here's more on the cookbooks:
"One Sweet Cookie: Celebrated Chefs Share Favorite Recipes," by Tracey Zabar (Rizzoli, $30): The international array of cookies includes cherished family favorites and signature best sellers from 70 of New York's best culinary talents. This is a book to buy and keep; has glossy paper and color photographs.
"The Cookiepedia: Mixing, Baking, and Reinventing the Classics," by Stacy Adimando (Quirk, $18.95): Each section begins with pictures of all the cookies, from buttery to chocolaty, fancy to fruity, spicy to nutty and seedy. This is a great gift for beginning bakers.
"Sugar, Sugar: Every Recipe Has a Story," by Kimberly "Momma" Reiner and Jenna Sanz-Agero (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $29.99): This collection down memory lane — featuring cakes, pies, cookies, bars and candies — includes bourbon balls, rum balls and church windows, those beautiful no-bake slice cookies made with colored marshmallows. Yum.
"Biscuiteering Book of Iced Cookies," by Harriet Hastings and Sarah Moore (Kyle Books, $18.95): There are fewer than a dozen cookie recipes in this book, but the iced cookie ideas and templates will hook you and inspire you. This book arrived too late to try any of the recipes.
"Baking Style: Art * Craft * Recipes," by Lisa Yockelson (Wiley, $45): Words can't do justice to this decadent ride through baking in all its buttery glory. This is a book meant to be treasured and savored and enjoyed as much for the recipes as for the photographs and Yockelson's thoughtfully written prose.
"So Sweet! Cookies, Cupcakes, Whoopie Pies, and More," by Sur la Table (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $15): This book arrived too late to try any of the recipes, but its colored photographs, gift-able size and breadth of whoopie pie recipes mean it won't be sitting on the bookshelf too long.
Molasses Construction Crumples
Makes: about 4 dozen
This recipe is from "Sugar, Sugar: Every Recipe Has a Story," by Kimberly "Momma" Reiner and Jenna Sanz-Agero (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $29.99).

Testimonials from our customers
Dear Sir/Madam,
Best regards,
Dear Joy,
I truly apologize this has taken sooooo long, I promised post reception of the picture I was gonna write you a comment for your web page, as I mentioned before I am a biologist and that makes me have a crazy lifestyle, I have been on the field for a while now. Well here it goes, I apologise for any mistake as english is my second language:
"I am a Costa Rican biologist and a amateur photographer. In my country finding, snakes, birds, rivers and awesome forest its easy, but finding good printing places, that deliver.... its close to imposible! Based on this, I have to admit that I have not done much printing in my life, so I was slightly, not to say tremendously, worried over printing and framing a picture to be delivered in ENGLAND (lets remember I live in Central America)!
So here I am and I needed to print this picture taken with a little phillips compact camera, as at the time I had to leave the big camera behind, I needed to travel light because I was walking 30 milles on a deserted beach in a National Park looking for sea turtles. A picture than more than a good artistic image it was an unforgettable memory that I wanted to send to my girlfriend in the UK on her birthday.
Knowing all this, I was starting to get really worried when I had only 5 days, to find a place that would make this simple picture look amazing and that would print and frame the image so it could be delivered on time.
All this fear went away the moment I got to talk to Joy from the Picture Gallery. She is amazing, as amazing as her company is! She did not only contact me quick with a swift answer, but she was there all the time to make sure my picture would be the best present and that it would be delivered on time.
Once I selected the printing size and frame I wanted, due to my inexperience in doing this things over the internet, I used my billing address as the delivery address, meaning my present was now suppose to be sent to Centralamerica! Catastrophe!! Its what come to my mind, but no! Joy was there to correct this error immediately... Im telling you this company is awesome!
Humanized, quick, adaptable with a need to satisfy the client, this company made my girlfriend birthday gift a reality. And even more it gave me a fantastic high quality printing with a flawless frame and mounting! It was a great experience to feel that even though I was across the atlantic, Joy made me feel like if I was on their store in England!
There is more things I can say, but the point is, that a fantastic costumer service, great quality images and a courtesy that goes beyond duty, makes this company the best!
Thank you, Joy and the Picture Gallery"

|Hi Joy,
Sorry for not getting in touch sooner. Just wanted to say thank you for sorting out the picture framing, it looks great and I'm actually quite surprised the photos turned out OK from the phone camera!
Anyway if I have anymore photo framing related things in future I'll definitely be in touch and will pass your website details onto anyone I know who needs it too.
Thanks again,
Good Afternoon Joy & John,
frames arrived yesterday. Thank you very much. 1st class service at a proper price
Graham Stone
|My order arrived safely and I am delighted with the frame. Many Thanks. J Hutchinson
|Hi John,
I just wanted to let you know that the frame mounts arrived today. They sit really well in the frames and the photos fit perfectly.
Also, I wanted to say that the level of service given by your company was superb. I contacted 6 companies that I found on Google to get a quote and you were the only one that came back with a price. The others just sent an automated email telling me to look at their website or didn't bother to respond at all. In addition, the packaging of the mounts and the delivery was second to none. Nowadays this level of service is a rarity!
Best Regards
Dear Joy,
I just wanted to say a big "thank you" for the fantastic framed photos you done for me. Thank you so much for all your help and advice, I now have exactly what I wanted thanks to you. I have passed your details onto my friend as she is also interested in having some of her images printed and framed for her new house.
Thanks once again,
Dear John,
The photographs have arrived and they are perfect. Thank you for doing a great job.
Many thanks.
kind regards
Just wanted to say received the picture frame today, very impressed with the packaging, delivery and quality of the frame. It's on the wall and looks great! Excellent personal service, thank you, would definately recommend your company.
Also thanks for replacing the frame I originally ordered (the silver one) with the pewter one at no extra cost - completely understood you weren't able to deliver the original one sooner, but feel lucky I actually got my first choice.
Going to browse and get some canvasses ordered shortly.
Thanks & feel free to use as a testminonial.
I received the frame I ordered yesterday and I just wanted to say thank you very much, it was brilliantly packed, arrived really quickly, was exactly what I ordered and my photos look beautiful in the frame. You offer an excellent service and I will certainly recommend you to others!!
Thank you once again.
Louise Gayle
|Dear Graham,
The picture frames are great, The packaging secure and the service excellent. The website easy to navigate. (I had given up on three of your competitors before I tried yours).
Helen Petrie
|Hello to all of you.
I would like to say that I am absolutely thrilled with my 3 digital prints and frames that you have done for me.
I recieved them on Friday and I have to say you were very quick and thorough.
I was absolutly amazed at how well you have printed them, they look superb and so much better than I thought they would turn out. The frames are stunning and compliment the pictures beautifully.
I thank you also for framing them for me as these are for a charity art show in May and to be honest, I know I wouldn't have made them look as good.
I will definitly be using your company again and recommending to all that would like a good quality, quick deliverer and friendly service.
You are star people and long may you reign.
Many thanks Sammi
Dear Graham and staff,
Just wanted to say I am delighted that I have found a company that offer a complete printing and framing service all under one roof, this makes my life so much easier! My client adored her framed pictures and there will be plenty more orders coming your way.
Thanks once again,
Stella, Figment Photography.
|Hi there,
I just wanted to say thank you for making your site so easy to navigate!
|Hi Joy,
Thank you so much for all your help and explaining what to do in Adobe Photoshop to enhance my images, like you say it's easy when you know how!
There aren't many companies that would take time to help like you did and I really appreciate your time and patience. The images you printed, mounted and framed for me look stunning and I will definately be back for more.
Many thanks,
Denise Jackson
Just wanted to let you know my multi picture frames arrived today and they were so well packaged it took me 15 minutes to get into them!
I am over the moon with the frames, they are exactly what I was looking for and I have told all my friends about your site as I think it is brilliant:)
Thanks once again,
|Hi John,
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the framed photos. I wasn't sure how they would turn out but thought I would give your company a try. I am pleasantly surprised how well they came out and the mount colour you suggested really does compliment the pictures a treat.
Thanks for all your help, it was a pleasure dealing with you, I will be back!
Kind regards,
Matt Pilsbury
Hi Joy,
A quick note to say thanks for the frames. I picked them up fine last week and got round to sorting out the pictures today. They look great and were just what I was after.
Best regards
Customer feedback from our shop in Bedford from a customer that lives in Spain.
Hi there, just a quickkie to say a very big thankyou to the lady who helped me with a couple of beautifull photos of Bedfords Riverbank earlier today, i think it was her father who took them if that helps sort out who it was. Apart from the fact she is absolutely fantastic to look at anyway, she was v helpfull and friendly and an asset to your business. Also id like to pass on to the photographer that i grew up in bedford but moved abroad and to this day i still miss the town and the image of the riverbank that he captured brought a tear to my eyes when i came over to visit and saw it in your window last June. Now there will be a print on my wall at home that everytime i pass it will bring back memories!
We replied and received this email back. The lady they were talking about is our daughter who manages one of our shops in Bedford.
|Thanksyou for the reply :)
Reading what you have said, its great that there is space in Bedfords center for a small family business and not just the large chain stores you can see in any town. Like you said the river does have fond memories for me as so many others, from the time i was a nipper and in the sea scouts to being older and enjoying the River Festival.
Im not an arty sort of guy which is even more of a credit to your husband as his images struck a chord with me and im not the sort of person that would normally take notice!!
Next time im back in UK im going to order one of the canvases (but not in the frame so i can fit it in my case) :)
Thankyou for taking the time to respond to me and once again thanks to your daughter for brightening my day.

Arthritis is an older person's disease.
Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases do not discriminate based on age. Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis, affecting more than 1.3 million Americans. RA most often begins between the fourth and sixth decades of life. However, RA can develop at any age.
Additionally, about one child in every 1,000 develops some type of juvenile arthritis. These disorders can affect children at any age, although rarely in the first six months of life. It is estimated that around 300,000 children in the U.S. have been diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
Arthritis is an inevitable part of life, so you just have to deal with it.
Aches and pains are an inevitable part of life. But, sometimes, pain in the joints, muscles or bones is severe or persists for more than a few days. At that point, you should see your physician and seek referral to a rheumatologist.
Living your life with prolonged stiffness and pain isn't something you should deal with on your own. Rheumatologists and rheumatology health professionals are trained to help you not only find a way to live with arthritis and other rheumatic diseases, but many treatments offered by rheumatologists can even stop certain diseases and conditions in their tracks.
Arthritis has less of an impact than other diseases.
In the United States alone there are 46 million adults and 300,000 children with arthritis and other rheumatic diseases.
Any doctor can treat my arthritis.
While primary care physicians are an important part of the multidisciplinary approach to treating any disease, you may need to see a rheumatologist, who is a physician who specialize in treating arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. If a person were to have a form of cancer, he or she would see an oncologist. If a child were to suffer from diabetes, he or she would be taken to an endocrinologist. Just as you would reach out to a specialist for these types of diseases, you should turn to rheumatologists as your lead physician to treat arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. Rheumatologists will work with you and your primary care physician to ensure that you are receiving the best possible treatment.
My weight has no impact on my arthritis.
Some studies show that even a small amount of weight loss can help ease arthritis pain – particularly in the knees and hips. Treating rheumatic diseases is not a 'one size fits all' approach. Each condition requires a specific multidisciplinary treatment that may include diet, exercise, medication, or even behavioral changes.
