Questionable Truths: International Peace Talks, Why is US Spearheading?
July 16th, 2012
It kinda disturbed me reading about US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's 13-day nine nation tour all over the world. It involves making diplomacy in all parts of the world to maintain world peace and stability. What disturbs me is the fact that she's a US official traveling to spread the word of peace and diplomacy, and work out problems from different countries. She has traveled to Japan to discuss terms with Afghanistan and sort out things with their country. She has also convened Israel and Egypt and has made her say about the crisis in Syria.
Somehow, even if I am a US citizen, aren't we overstepping our bounds? There are things that some people can sort out for themselves. US is acting like parents of children who have gone mad at each other and are trying to reconcile them. The only difference is that people who run countries are not children, but educated leaders who understand their own terms.
Most conflicts in different countries and areas stem from traditional differences. If the US intervenes, it means influencing them on western thought. Though it might stop the violence, it can also consume their culture and identity. I have nothing against peace talks and maintaining peace, but the US must make discreet of their movements as they are publicized in making attempts to make nations talk to each other.
This is why many people also hate the United States. I don't hate my country, I love my country. But sometimes, I just think we are too proud of ourselves as defenders of peace and freedom. Share your ideas in the comments section, I'd like to hear from what you want to say about this topic.

Do you want to make Ohio.com your homepage?
XATHENS - Chris Singletary scored 22 points and made a three-point play with 33 seconds left to lift Kent State past Ohio 62-60 on Saturday afternoon.
With the Golden Flashes (10-5, 1-0 Mid-American Conference) trailing 60-58, Singletary hit a layup and was fouled by Kenneth Van Kempen.
On Ohio's next possession, DeVaughn Washington turned the ball over with 22 seconds remaining and Rod Sherman made the first of two free throws for the final score.
D.J. Cooper, who finished with 21 points for the Bobcats (9-6, 0-1), missed a three with 2 seconds left.
Singletary was 7-of-12 from the field and 7-of-9 from the free-throw line to help Kent State win its fifth out of six games.
"Chris was an absolute monster and just refused to let us get beat," said Head Coach Geno Ford, who won at his alma-mater for the first time in seven years on the Kent State staff. "He is a very talented player and when he comes to compete and not dwell on bad plays he is as good as there is and had another special game today."
Tyree Evans scored 11 points; Anthony Simpson, 10; and Justin Greene had 11 rebounds for the Golden Flashes.
Ohio shot just 36.4 percent for the game to equal the lowest mark by a Kent State opponent this season. The Golden Flashes shot 39.3 percent. Kent State travels to Miami on Tuesday for a 7:00 pm contest. The game will be broadcast regionally on the Ohio News Network (ONN) available on Time Warner Cable CH. 362, AT&T U-Verse CH. 233, WOW! CH. 14, and Insight CH. 58.
NOTES: Senior Mike McKee moved into the top 10 career three-point field goal list at Kent State with his 118th career three. McKee is now tied with Harold Walton for 10th on the list ... The Golden Flashes had 18 turnovers to 17 for Ohio, marking the first time this year KSU has had more turnovers then the opposition.
SINGLETARY SHINES - Chris Singletary was a lot of things on Saturday. He was a leader. He was Kent State's heart and soul. He was the Golden Flashes answer, making the big play at all the right times. He was their sense of urgency. He epitomized their toughness and physical play, and he willed Kent State to a victory with the help of all of his teammates and coaches. The senior from Chicago's role on Saturday was to score. It won't always be his main role. Some nights it could be going for 10 points, six rebounds and five assists like he has earlier in the season. But on Saturday it was leading his team to a victory on the road in a hostile environment, an environment that hasn't been very kind to Singletary or to Kent State for that matter. Singletary came through when it mattered most. "At every time out, at every huddle he was into it," Associate Head Coach Rob Senderoff said. "He was about the team and it's funny how when you care about others things come back for you."
HIGH PRAISE - Ford had some high praise about Singletary during his post game press conference. "I just met with him two days ago and told him, his production might not necessarily really say this, but in my opinion in the years I've been fortunate to be at Kent State he's the second best player we've had behind Antonio Gates," he said. "He was special out there he was fantastic."
SIMPSON APOLOGIZES, THEN PERFORMS - Anthony Simpson did not have a very fond first impression of the Convocation Center in Athens last season when the Flashes lost to the Bobcats to begin the MAC season 71-65. Simpson only played six minutes and finished with zero points, one rebound and one turnover in his short stint. Simpson made up for it on Saturday with 10 points and eight rebounds, plus a huge dunk in the first half in traffic. "The thing I'll give Anthony Simpson is we walked in for practice last night and he came over to me and apologized for how bad he was last year and promised me that he wouldn't do it again," Ford said. "He came out today, hit some big shots, he had the big blocked shot, a couple of big rebounds, finished in traffic really well. He showed up and played like you'd hope a senior would on the road."
SCHEDULE BENEFITS FLASHES - Ford credited Kent State's non-conference schedule as a reason they will able to pull out this close victory in front of over 8,000 hostile fans, including the "O-Zone", the MAC's toughest student section. "I think that our schedule helped us," he said. "We played one home game in the month of December. We've just been on the road non-stop and so when you're on the road all the time it makes you really earn wins. I thought today that really benefitted us, the fact that we haven't been at home much."
FINALLY - Kent State won their first MAC East road game since March 9, 2008 at Akron. The Flashes went 0-5 last year on the road in the East...Geno Ford wins for the first time in Athens with the Kent State program. He was 0-6 all-time...Ford was able to match up with his younger brother Dustin, who is an assistant on John Groce's staff at Ohio. The older brother did get a small joke in during his press conference. "They're (Ohio) doing a great job. They got great coaches, other than one assistant and they've got really good players."

Kent State held Miami without a field goal for the final 9:38 of the game en route to a 50-39 Mid-American Conference win Saturday afternoon at Millett Hall in Oxford.
The Golden Flashes (9-5, 2-0) used a 19-5 run to take a commanding lead over the RedHawks (3-12, 1-1).
Taisja Jones led all scorers with 11 points and had seven rebounds. Lorriane Odhiambo grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds and scored six points.
''I thought the best part of this game was how we played on the defensive end, no question,'' KSU coach Bob Lindsay said in a prepared statement. ''It was ugly. Neither team's offense executed very well. But this game came down to us doing a good job defensively.''
Jena Stutzman (eight points) and Jamilah Humes (seven points) were also key for KSU.
Ashleigh Brown and Kirsten Olowinski paced Miami with nine points apiece.

Storybook Opera coming in February
Children and families are in for a treat in February when Houston Grand Opera brings two Storybook Opera programs to Freeman Library. These programs are designed for children of kindergarten through second grade age. They use music to tell the stories behind two favorite storybooks: Opera Cat by Tess Weaver and Westward Ho, Carlotta by Candace Fleming.
The first program will be Opera Cat on Tuesday, February 1 at 1:30 pm. Opera Cat is the story of a cat named Alma who loves to sing. Alma takes center stage on opening night after her mistress, Madame Soso, comes down with laryngitis.
The second program will be Westward Ho, Carlotta on Friday, February 25 at 10:30 am. This is the story of a diva, Carlotta Caruso, who travels west singing at everyone she meets - even the villains!
Both programs require tickets. They are free and available from the Kids Information Desk starting thirty minutes before the program. The Tuesday 1:30 pm Preschool Storytime will not be held on February 1 so that children may attend this progam.

Prime is a relative term.
I would arbitrarily call any rewards card with an APR <15%, or non-rewards card with APR <10% a prime card. Assuming it doesn't have any unnecessary fees attached. Anything with an annual fee that does not provide great benefits (i.e. any non-AmEx card with an AF) would be subprime. Also, any card that charges fees for things like making an online payment or payment over the phone, etc.
Lenders that only offer prime cards, to my knowledge include Discover, AMEX, Chase, Bank of America (though some people would want to make them a sub-prime lender ). Most credit unions products would be considered prime.
Some lenders, like Capital One, offer both prime and sub-prime products.
Then there are the exclusively sub-prime lenders. CFAs like CitiFinancial or really AnythingFinancial. I cannot recall most of the sub-prime lenders names. First Premier, etc.
05-21-2012 06:59 AM - edited 05-21-2012 06:59 AM
Back when I was last applying for prime cards, in 2008, you would have easily been approved for any of the cards you mentioned. Now, it will depend on a lot of factors, but I would still guess that you would be approved.
Your scores and util are good, but your history is still a bit short.

Are these FICO or FAKO? FICO is only avail for EQ and TU. EQ FICO can be purchased here or from EQ, but you need to be sure you're getting FICO and not the EQ FAKO. TU can be purchased here or free w/Walmart CC. EX FICO cannot be purchased any longer. So, unless you got the EX 728 listed above from a lender, it's a FAKO score and not comparable w/your FICO.
Your util is low and you have a couple years of history, so you should be able to get Chase. IME Discover is a little harder to get and CLs tend to be lower, but YMMV. Amex would be the hardest. Their revolvers usually require a FICO in the mid to high 700s. You might be better off starting w/a charge, like Zync or Green. If approved, you can try for the BCP on the same day and will likely only get one HP. One reason to try for the easier one first is that if denied, you cannot app for any other Amex for 30 days. If you don't get the BCP, you can use the charge for 6 mos and then try again. Also, once you get an Amex, you can app for a new card and will only get a HP if approved. If not approved, it will be a SP.
Also, have you tried for any CLIs with your current cards. I wouldn't waste my time w/Cap One because they aren't doing customer-initiated CLIs, but La Curaco (don't know them) and Wells Fargo might. You've had each of them for at least a year, so I'd try for a CLI, even if it's a HP.
ETA: You may be better off getting CLIs and letting them report before apping for new CCs, because most CCs won't go much beyond your highest current CL. So, any approvals would probably be around $2k. That's how I got my CLs higher -- with CLIs and then apping and new CCs will usually match your current CLs.
I'm not sure if Amex or Discover are necessarily harder than the other to be approved. Discover CLs are definitely a YMMV, because I, unlike most others, have gotten 4 or 5 unsolicited CLIs from them over the past 4 years, whereas all my other CLIs have been at my request. That is unrelated, though. Chase is definitely the easiest of the three to be approved for, though IMO, Discover and AMEX are far more desirable.
I would apply for Chase, and if approved, you may have a shot at one of the other two.
I would try for the discover more card. I had 1 year of credit history and two cards with limits of 200 and 1300 dollars, they gave me a 2500 limit and even asked if I wanted more which I declined. They pulled TU for me.

These are good questions. If you are under 21, under the new credit card laws, you must be able to support your debt on your own income.

I don't think so. Not as long as you can provide proof of income, if asked.

Term: Sex Magic
Sex Magic: Sex magic directs the energies raised during sensual arousal to achieve a desired goal. Western sex magic often uses alchemical terminology, although its sources go back to ancient shamanism, pre-Christian Pagan practices, and some sects of Gnosticism. Basic concepts include the extension of sensual activity to build up the energy and that the thought held at orgasm comes to pass. Prominent proponents include the O.T.O., Louis T. Culling, and Aleister Crowley. In recent decades, these Western practices have been influenced by Indian and Tibetan Tantra as well as Chinese Taoist alchemy.Donald Michael Kraig

As I mentioned in my Sports Illustrated cover post a few weeks ago, superstition is nothing new when it comes to sports. So with the Irish in the midst of a perfect season, fans are doing whatever they can to see that Notre Dame hoists the coveted crystal football on Jan. 7.
Josh Stowe ('01) from the Notre Dame Alumni Association recently caught up with a few Domers who shared their lucky rituals.
For example, here's April Flores' story:
"I had a baby the week before the season started. She's never seen an Irish loss in her lifetime! She wears the same Notre Dame onesie that we brought her home from the hospital in for every game. I tried to change it up for the Pitt game and she was back in the lucky onesie for the second half," she says. "If she outgrows it before January 7 she's going to have to suck it up and wear a tight onesie!"
Click here to read the rest of the post. As you will see, it's not the top-ranked defense, the impressive running game, or the stellar coaching, but most certainly the superstitious fans that have Notre Dame playing for its first national championship since 1988.
And just because…

First sign was the sparse attendance for the panel, with less than 50 people in a hall meant to hold roughly eight times that number, with the second being that everyone involved, from pros to fans, would rather talk about crossovers with the mainstream DC Universe or old books that never got finished. Advertisement In addition to Batman: Death Mask, an original manga by Yoshimori (Togari - The Sword of Justice) Natsume that will be published in authentic back-to-front format, the main DC/Wildstorm project will be DC/Wildstorm: Dreamwar that crosses over characters from both lines. Editor Scott Peterson described the project simply:Basically, it's the DC Comics heroes versus the Wildstorm heroes, punching. The few fans in attendance didn't seem that bothered about new titles, however, instead wondering about series from big name creators that have managed to drop off the schedule due to lateness. Advertisement When asked about the status of the very late Wildcats series by Grant Morrison that disappeared after a mid-2007 first issue, series artist Jim Lee embarrassedly called it "the dreaded question," before admitting that "there's no way to make amends [for the delay]" but both Morrison and Lee are committed to finish the series at some point, although that may be five or ten years from now. Here's hoping that he was sarcastic on that last point. Peterson said that Morrison's other delayed title, The Authority, has had some "serious forward motion" and will be returning at some point.In response to questions about Warren Ellis's missing titles Desolation Jones and Planetary, Peterson said that, like any publisher, they're very happy to publish work from Warren Ellis when they get it. He has written the final issue of Planetary, but they're waiting for artist John Cassaday to have time in his schedule to draw it.Jim Lee also talked about his All-Star Batman series with Frank Miller, saying that he enjoys working on the book, and that he's surprised that Miller continues to work on the series considering his movie schedule. The book is slated to run for twenty issues, and they have around ten still to work on.Reply3 repliesLeave a reply

Four men sentenced in Azerbaijan over Eurovision terror attack plot
FOUR foreign-trained Islamists were sentenced to up to 14 years in jail in Azerbaijan on Monday for plotting "terrorist attacks" on the eve of this year's Eurovision song contest in Baku, the latest crackdown on militancy in the oil-rich state.
After 70 years of Soviet-rule, most Azeris have a relaxed attitude towards religion, but Azerbaijan, a NATO ally bordering Iran on the Caspian Sea, says it is combating increasing Islamist extremism with ties to Tehran.
A court official who declined to be named told Reuters the four were sentenced to between 12 and 14 years in jail for crimes including treason, plotting terrorist attacks, arms smuggling and having links with Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
Security forces killed the group's alleged leader in an operation in April and the other members of the group were arrested a month before Baku hosted Eurovision in May.
The Security Ministry said those arrested had been trained in Iran, Syria, Pakistan, and some had fought NATO troops in Afghanistan. As is usual in Azerbaijan, the court proceedings were closed to the public.
Last year, Azerbaijan jailed 17 members of another group it said was linked to al Qaeda, sentencing them to between five years and life in jail.
Earlier this year, security forces arrested several Azeris and Iranians on suspicion of spying for Iran, plotting to attack Western targets and smuggling arms from Iran into Azerbaijan.
Most of Azerbaijan's 9 million people are Shi'ite Muslims, like the vast majority of Iranians. Some 15 percent of the roughly 78-million population of Iran are also ethnic Azeris.
But the government of the Republic of Azerbaijan under President Ilham Aliyev is strictly secular. Western governments and human rights groups accuse Aliyev, who succeeded his father in 2003, of rigging elections and of clamping down on dissent.
Iran and Azerbaijan became embroiled in a diplomatic spat ahead of the Eurovision finals which were condemned by Iranian clerics and lawmakers who referred to a "gay parade".
Iran was angered by subsequent anti-Iranian protests in Baku, where demonstrators carried pictures of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and banners that read "Azerbaijan does not need clerics-homosexuals!".
Sandwiched between Iran, Russia and Turkey, Azerbaijan sells oil and gas to the West from reserves in the Caspian Sea.

OPEN DOORS ... Downtown Palo Alto's bookworms have a reason to rejoice these days. The newly refurbished Downtown Library is about to add an extra day of operations. The city announced this week that starting Jan. 5, the library would be open on Fridays, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. (the same hours as Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday; Thursday hours will be noon to 6 p.m.). Library Director Monique le Conge said in a statement that library officials have been getting requests from patrons to extend hours ever since the downtown library reopened last summer, equipped with better lighting, a new community room, better furniture and other amenities. "It's obvious that our customers are enjoying the changes," le Conge said. "I'm thrilled that we're able to meet the demand." The city's library-renovation effort is also scheduled to receive a major boost on Monday night, when the Palo Alto Library Foundation is set to present a $1.9 million check to the city for furniture and equipment at the new Mitchell Park library, currently under construction.

DESTIN | Military officials in the Florida Panhandle are pushing motorcycle safety after the deaths of two active-duty service members this month.
Senior Airman Ignacio Arostegui died in a Feb. 3 motorcycle crash in Destin, and five days later Staff Sgt. Andrew Koerner died when his motorcycle crashed into a pickup truck. A Crestview resident also died in the Feb. 8 crash. Both crashes remain under investigation.

"We're really pushing the program everywhere, to keep service members continually aware," said David Clingerman, the safety program manager for the Army 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne). "All of us have moments in life when we let our guard down, we don't want that to be on a bike."
The Northwest Florida Daily News reports (http://bit.ly/1pije0u) at least five active-duty service members have died in motorcycle crashes in northwest Florida since 2008, including Arostegui and Koerner.
Clingerman said the Department of Defense implemented stringent safety requirements after recognizing the number of motorcycle-related fatalities among members of the military in recent years.
"A lot of these soldiers, they go for pretty long deployments, save up some money and, especially the younger ones, they like to buy some toys with that money. A lot end up buying a motorcycle," he said.
Motorcycle riders must register with military safety officials, attend mandatory motorcycle safety training courses and wear protective and reflective gear, including a helmet.
More than 1,500 service members in the Panhandle are currently registered motorcyclists, according to military safety officials.
Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field hold motorcycle safety rallies, and attendance is required for registered riders.
Clingerman also hosts group mentor rides where more experienced motorcyclists can ride with newer ones to pass on safety tips. He said the programs appear to be working: the number of service members killed in motorcycle crashes each year has dropped to roughly 10. That number was 30 to 50 each year a decade ago.

18126 Dec 2011 at 8:27 pmI would normally order the curry zazzle baked rice at pizza hut.(: It is delicious and I love it:D The rice blends in well with the curry and there is a generous amount of potato and chicken in the dish:D I really like it a lot because it is not very spicy and it is rich with curry flavour. (:
I always order it with the student meal, which includes free flow of coke. My friends and I would always be so full after eating at pizza hut. The price is also not very expensive, so it has always been one of our choices when deciding where to dine at ;D

10002 Dec 2008 at 1:50 pmI went there a few times and wasn't happy with the service and place (abit warm when seated v inside of the restaurant)
Went to have dinner with my family yesterday, the restaurant just renovated to look brighter and bigger.
The Xmas set was good, with 4 soups, 1xmas pizza, 1 (other)pizza, 4 strawberry jingle, 1 salad, 1 appetiser (includes 4wings, 6stars, 6nuggles, n sticks of cucumber/carrots) cost $63. We ordered the set for 4pax but it's sure enough for all 6 of us.
Probably now is school holidays, they have more staff then usual and our food and drinks are served almost within 10minutes.
If the service maintain this level of fast and efficient, I will sure be visiting often.

4501 Aug 2008 at 11:03 pmThe delivery service was generally efficient, except for once that they misplaced my order but gladly offered to replace the pizzas at no cost.
The pizzas were the best compared to other chains that I have ever tasted. Years and years of eating the regular pan pizzas, when just earlier this year the Viva crust pizzas were introduced. Sweet heavens! The crust was as light as they claimed, with the right amount of crisp and fluff and the topping, nothing out of the ordinary but fresh and burstging with flavour. I ordered the Hawaiian and Ocean Catch pizzas and was not disappointed. They were delicious!
There would usually be some promotions in the year, where some are related to credit cards. The then Viva crust promtion was 2-for-$22 and there have been 1-for-1 pizza promo before.So keep a lookout for deals!
One of the easist to save and enjoy quality food is to take adavantage of the student meals. They are priced from $6.90 excluding GST and service charge and comes with pizza(personal),pasta,baked pasta/rice or beef lasagne with soup and drink.
Additional snacks could also be added at a fraction of their original cost(e.g criss-cross fries at $2.80 and Munchie Mouse ice cream at $1.90)

The Horse Forum
- Horse Riding Critique
- - Jumping and flatwork critique
Jumping and flatwork critique 1 Attachment(s) These are videos from last nights lesson that I would like critiquing on please. I have been riding since last August and jumping for a few months now. So first is flatwork: I think my biggest problem is leaning forward with my upper body. I look like a hunchback when I ride. Which I think leaning forward makes me pump way too much in canter. But I am really happy with my leg, I think it is much more secure and in a better hip heel line than before. http://youtube.com/watch?v=r5mzlS8a5jg Now for jumping... I need a lot of work. I have a really bad problem with not staying up in my two point and coming back into the saddle too early. You can hear my trainer before every jump saying to stay in my two point, I guess it just doesn't click with me. I also realized that I am popping her in the mouth:oops: http://YouTube.com/watch?v=HmtIl05GMBo So critiques please :-) and I only ride once time a week so it It's hard to work on my leg a lot. |
I think for the jumping, you are over jumping a little (your leg is also slipping back at times), which is putting you off balance and causing you to slam back in the saddle too quickly. Your stirrups could probably go up a hole or so as well. Work on keeping your weight in your stirrups and waiting for the horse to jump before you do. Instead of throwing your body over the saddle, bend a little at your hips. Also, do not forget to give a release. It didn't look like you were catching her in the mouth too badly, but you aren't giving a release, so are kind of making chicken wings instead. Over the poles approaching the fence, I would suggest sitting up normally and not getting into your two point position. Wait, wait, wait, for the first jump, then get into your two point. Go over the three bounces (in your two point), then get back up into your saddle to prepare your horse for the last fence. Wait, wait, wait, then jump the fence with your horse. You look pretty good for only riding and jumping for so little time! Perhaps no stirrup work (during the posting trot too!) would help with your lower leg and help in keeping you out of the saddle longer after the fence. Keep up the good work! |
I am NO expert, and I could very well be wrong- but I'll give it a go anyway, now that you've been warned. :D The first thing that popped into my mind is that your heels could be farther down. Your feet look relatively flat in the stirrups, which I believe is causing your body to flop back and forth in the canter flat work- with your heels horizontal like that, none of your weight is in your heels, therefore your balance is shifted. I would suggest, to keep your hands and arms steady, to do some exercises to strengthen them. Also, when riding, remember that your elbows bend, not your wrists- the wrists stay firm, keeping your hands at the pommel of the saddle. I'm not going to critique the jumping because one, I've had only one jumping lesson in my life so it would be silly, and two, I think the reason that you can't hold a two-point and fall down early is because you lack the strength you need in your core and legs (in my lesson I had the exact same problem- couldn't hold the two-point because I didn't have the strength. :/ ), I would suggest doing some exercises to strengthen your legs and back/abs, as I believe that will benefit your riding in general, both on flat and jumping. Also, for your heels, I would suggest standing on a step with your heels off the edge to work on stretching them down. Good luck and I hope my advice is helpful for you!! |
1 Attachment(s) Thanks guys,I will work on those things! More critiques?? Posted via Mobile Device |
First realize that riding is an athletic endeavor. The better shape you are in, the better you will ride the flat and the jump. ANY exercises that strengthen your core and strengthen your legs will enable you to ride more easily. I was in the same situation as you when I took lessons as a teenager. The stable let me rent a lesson horse for one hr/week in between lessons and this helped my riding quite a bit. Is there a (safe) horse that you could rent/use for one hour in between your lessons? If so, I would recommend riding the flat at the walk and the trot, doing figures as you would riding a course, except you will cross your stirrups in front of the pommel and ride without them. You need to be more weighted to move effortlessly at the canter. I realize that (in the video) you are keeping this horse from running out, therefore you are both riding the horse and working on your jumping, so you need to separate the two activities to teach your body how the gaits feel. Ironically the canter is similar to the walk in how you move WITH the horse. Riding the trot without stirrups greatly increases your balance. Vary the exercises so that you transition directly from a walk to a canter, back to a walk, canter to an extended trot, to a rising trot, to a collected trot--Dressage-y stuff. |
730 Attachment(s) Flatwork critique only. Leaning forward and not following the horse through the canter at all. You're pushing your hips forward when you should be doing lifting them up. Each gait, from walk to gallop, is an upward motion, NOT a forward motion. You know this in the trot, because the horse's momentum brings you up, and gravity brings you down. The horse's momentum does not shoot you forward, yes? So what you're doing here, is pushing the horse's back forward (instead of moving with the horse or using a driving seat and leg), interfering with their gait, and it's not looking seamless or comfortable. Is there a way you can get on the lungeline to practice? It would help you out a lot :) Here is this video too Befo |
I would like to say, that given the amount of time you have had in the saddle, you are doing EXCEPTIONALLY well! your instruction seems to be focussed and is producing results. Keep it up, you are doing super. |
730 Attachment(s) Quote:
Basically you are too stiff with your arms at the beginning, they don't open and close at the elbows at all. So your horse is either being jabbed in the mouth, or not really moving out at all. Follow with your arms, no need to move your upper body at all, only your hips (in an upward circular motion as per the video.. which will take practice.) You have a wonderful lower leg, and you look very comfortable and safe. I love how relaxed your horse is too, but he could look better (or she) Open up your chest more, sit back a little more so you are balanced over your horse, and you should have instantly better canter seat. Best of luck! Keep it up! |
Nice improvement! You could definitely open the chest more. Think about sitting up more and drawing the shoulder blades together and down (not pinching them together). I have this same problem. In the first vid you look just like me 6 months or a year ago, trying to canter for the horse. think more about your feet (sounds weird but it helps) rather than your seat. thinking about that shoulders back, standing in the stirrups position will really help you be more correct in your two point. |

Just started, W1D1 after a four month layoff. I was out of breath during the running portions, so I need to slow it down a bit. I wish I could string some time together running, I seem to quit just as my times start to come down.
Michele in NC
Petco Run/Walk/Wag 5k
I'm still monitoring...
Habits take a few weeks to get set in place. Stick with it, it does get easier... and the pain will also ease off after awhile.
bob e v 2014 goals: keep on running! Is there anything more than that?
Complete the last 3 races in the Austin Distance Challenge, Rogue 30k, 3M Half, Austin Full
Break the 1000 mi barrier!
History: blessed heart attack 3/15/2008; c25k july 2008 first 5k 10/26/2008 on 62nd birthday.

I restarted a while ago. W3D2 yesterday.
Thanks for the encouragement, bobev. Girmann, looks like you made a New Year's resolution, as did I, to get back at it. Way to keep it up! I actually had to walk for two weeks before beginning the c25k.
Brisk walk this morning, looking forward to running again tomorrow.
C25K W1D2, still out of breath on the running portions...wow, I only had a 4 month layoff, though it was a lazy time I expected this to be easier!
Slow down on the running portion. Stay in conversational range, even if it means walking. Gotta build endurance gradually. Going to fast will generate injuries - been there, done that, got more than one t-shirt
De-slacking in progress
started running @ age 48 [lost 70#+, quit a 30 year pack/day habit>> ran HM] Ran a few years then quit. Gained 70#+ back and smoking like before. Time to get healthy again @ 52 years over with the C25K program and beyond again. RE-start date 1-13-14
No advice here, slaptear2, but welcome back! W1D3 for me today, didn't feel any easier, but I'm looking forward to stretching my legs a bit with week 2.
Got in a nice, brisk walk today in mild but overcast weather. Looking forward to beginning week 2 tomorrow!
Skipped the run yesterday, as I didn't feel well, so I started week 2 of c25k this morning. It went well, but I'm still going out too fast. It's amazing to me that I could lose fitness this much since October, but I've also gained weight so I'm sure that's impacting my fitness as well. Should be walking tomorrow.
Got in my second run of week 2 today. It did feel a smidgen easier today, so maybe I'm going in the right direction. Busy week ahead, happy running all!
Good job Ben! Keep it up. I finished my 4th half marathon this morning. Overactive bladder clobbered me so no PB but I finished which was main goal! Took me abt 20 months from starting C25K to be able to run a half. So keep up the good work!
You are not alone. I was up to 5 miles in October. Now I'm in W4 rebuilding a base. As far as the weight goes, I'm right there too. Maybe you shouldn't have such a strong pie-bond. Sorry about that groaner, but I couldn't resist when I saw your name.
Oh, boy, Chup, that was a bad, bad joke! lol I remember you from last year (I had a different screen name). Glad to see you're still hanging in there!

Eczema is an itchy, scaly skin rash that occurs commonly in children but also occurs in adults. When you have eczema, you develop patches of red, cracked skin that sometimes weep clear fluid. The condition, also known as atopic dermatitis, affects 10% to 20% of young children, and about 7% of adults will suffer from a bout of eczema over the course of their lives.

Eczema treatment usually starts with skin creams that contain corticosteroids, which work to calm the inflammation on your skin. If those don't work, your doctor may prescribe stronger corticosteroids that you would take by mouth. In severe cases, physicians may try other drugs that suppress the immune system reaction that causes the skin inflammation.

However, there may be another alternative for people seeking eczema treatment. The skin condition appears to be linked to celiac disease and to non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and the gluten-free diet (the treatment for both of those conditions) may in fact help treat eczema in some people.

Eczema More Common In Those with Celiac Disease

It's not clear what causes eczema, but the skin condition appears to result from a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors.

People with eczema seem to have both lower levels of a type of protein that's associated with a healthy immune system, plus higher levels of a protein that's involved in allergic reactions. Some physicians consider eczema an autoimmune condition, which means it involves your immune system attacking your own healthy tissue by mistake.

Researchers have compared the prevalence of eczema in people who also suffer from celiac disease to eczema prevalence in control subjects, and they've found that eczema occurs about three times more frequently in celiac disease patients and about two times more frequently in relatives of celiac disease patients, potentially indicating a genetic link between the two conditions.

Eczema Also Found in Gluten Sensitivity

Non-celiac gluten sensitivity is not as well understood as celiac disease. However, researchers who are studying it say that symptoms include digestive issues (such as diarrhea, constipation, pain and bloating), plus other symptoms, including brain fog and skin conditions.

Eczema has been associated with gluten sensitivity. Specifically, one 2015 study looked at 17 people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity who had skin problems, including rashes that looked like eczema, dermatitis herpetiformis and psoriasis.

The study found these people's skin improved significantly within about one month when those people adopted the gluten-free diet.

Studies Show Gluten-Free Diet Helpful in Eczema Treatment

It's possible that a strict wheat-free or gluten-free diet could help treat some cases of eczema — both in those with celiac disease patients and in people with gluten sensitivity.

In one study, Finnish researchers looked at candidates for eczema treatment who had suspected wheat allergies but not clinically confirmed celiac disease. Their aim was to identify the specific fraction of wheat causing eczema (which turned out to be gliadin, the toxic protein fragment in celiac disease), but they also found that four of the six adult eczema patients studied successfully treated their eczema by eliminating grains from their diets.

Another (much older) British study looked at the overall prevalence of immune system disorders in patients with celiac disease, and found about 5% of celiac disease patients also had eczema. Two of these patients, out of a total of 17, had "dramatic and persisting relief from their rash when on [the gluten-free] diet," that study reported.

Should Eczema Treatment Involve a Gluten-Free Diet?

In these studies, the gluten-free diet helped some — but not all — eczema patients control their symptoms. So should you consider a gluten-free diet as eczema treatment?

If you've just been diagnosed with celiac disease and you also suffer from eczema, you may find that you resolve some or all of your eczema symptoms with a gluten-free diet. In addition, since eczema and celiac disease appear to be related genetically, and since both run in families, you may want to consider celiac disease testing if you have eczema and are related to people who have celiac.

If you have eczema along with celiac disease symptoms, you definitely should get tested for celiac disease, since you're already at a higher risk for the condition. Again, if you do turn out to have celiac, you may find as a bonus that the gluten-free diet helps to clear up your eczema symptoms.

Finally, if you've finished with all the medical testing you wish to have for celiac disease (regardless of whether you've been diagnosed with the condition), you might want to consider trying the gluten-free diet on a trial basis for several months to see if it helps with your eczema treatment. Just remember: for the diet to work, you'll need to follow it strictly, without cheating.

In sports, while performances can earn you love and fandom, the path to earning genuine respect is harder to tread. For respect goes much deeper than the numbers. The respect earned by a sportsman is in direct proportion to the reverence with he regards his sport.
In cricket, the list of such men would be incomplete without the name of Michael Edward Killeen Hussey. He might not dominate the cricket record books. But his name will go down in the annals of cricket as a man who revered cricket and served it with utmost honesty and selflessness. If a man's true worth is measured by the respect he commands by those he has come in contact with in his lifetime, Michael Hussey would be pronounced an international treasure by the time he turns 50.
Exaggeration apart, the former Australian batsman is indeed a treasure to any cricket team he plays for. At the IPL, the Chennai Super Kings enjoyed his inspirational team-manship for six years. Now it's time for the Mumbai Indians to benefit from his unwavering dedication, his brilliant cricketing mind and the wealth of experience he brings with him.
Ahead of Pepsi IPL 2014, Hussey spoke to iplt20.com about the beginning of his journey with the Mumbai franchise and life after retiring from international cricket.
You're so used to wearing the yellow jersey, at international level and in IPL. Now time to don a blue one?
Yes it will be different but I am excited by the challenge of joining a team that I have admired and respected over the six years.
What was your first reaction when you learned that this year you'll be playing for MI?
Excited about joining the champion team and the chance to play home games at Wankhede stadium, which probably has the best atmosphere I have ever experienced.
CSK and MI have developed a rivalry in a very short time. Will it take a bit of work to adjust on the other side of the rivalry?
I don't think so. I have had some great battles with Mumbai Indians over the years and look forward to many great battles with CSK over the next few years.
Until last year, you would often join the IPL midway due to national duties. Now it's been more than a year since your last first-class match. Have you found it harder to maintain the extremely lofty standards of fitness that you are known for?
I have still been able to work hard on my fitness and strength and I am still playing in the Big Bash in Australia. I may be a little rusty early in the tournament but I think I won't take long to get up to the required level.
On the other hand, does it get easier to concentrate all your energies towards working on one format?
Yes I agree. I always found it tough switching to and from the different formats of the game and I am fit and fresh and excited about getting into the action again.
In what particular way has your preparation and fitness routine changed? Any specific skill-polishing exercise that you have dropped or any that you have added to your preparation?
Yes, I guess my skill training has changed a little and is totally focused around T20 cricket and not on the longer formats of the game.
Have you been working on any of the outrageous T20 shots now that you don't have to worry about hampering your Test technique?
Ha! Not really, I still think your basic game needs to be in good working order and then you try and adapt according to the situation of the game.
Have you considered mastering the switch-hit? It might come easier to you considered that you are a righty with the ball.
Ha, no way, I don't know how they have the courage to play that shot.
A well known facet of your career has been how seriously you take your cricket. You're often the first to appear for the net session and the last to go. It is said when you take something so seriously, it is difficult to enjoy what you're doing. Does it stand true for you?
I think I have mellowed over the years and have enjoyed the game a lot more in my last few seasons. Maybe there is a lesson in that as I feel my performances have been better the more I have relaxed and enjoyed the game.
What is tougher: to take cricket out of Mr. Cricket or take Mr. Cricket out of cricket?
I think I will always be involved in cricket, I do love the game and the people involved.
Did you suffer from withdrawal symptoms after leaving Test cricket? Will playing T20s for a while longer ease you into the eventual life after cricket?
No, quite the opposite actually. I don't miss the stress, pressure, expectation and media attention. T20 is fun and easier on the body as you get older.
Will you be exchanging some thoughts on life after international cricket from one recently retired Sachin Tendulkar?
I hope so. I am really looking forward to spending time with him and talking about life and cricket. He will probably be sick of me by the end of the IPL.

I got mine in the mail today. It is well constructed. . . glued, stitched, and riveted. The comfortable grip area is about 3 1/2 inches long. The fur is very soft and fuzzy, although bits of it do seem to come off when rubbed.
Great product for light BDSM or spicing up the love life. The soft side is mostly for show, as it doesn't hurt and the paddle isn't sturdy enough for a deep thudding blow. The leather side packs a powerful sting.
If you like hard blows, I would suggest something a little sturdier. The price seems about right for the product. . . a tad on the expensive side.
This toy really is Naughty and Nice! The leather side gives a good sting and the soft side can ease the sting while still giving a good soft thud. It's super easy to switch from one side to another to mix up the sensations.

Another Deadly Chemical in Our Food Supply
By Michael A. Smith, MD
Brominated vegetable oil (BVO) is vegetable oil with bromine added to it. Brominated vegetable oil is used as an emulsifier in citrus-flavored soft drinks to help the flavors stay suspended in the drink and to produce a cloudy appearance.Just look at Mountain Dew, for example. The hazy appearance within its very unnatural fluorescent color comes from BVO.
Patented by chemical companies as a flame retardant, and banned in food throughout Europe and Japan, BVO has been added to soft drinks for decades in North America. Now, some scientists have a renewed interest in this little-known ingredient.
Is BVO Safe?
Overall, this is probably not a safe additive. Even the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations imposes restrictions on the use of BVO in the United States. Because there are questions about its safety, an obvious restriction is to limit the amount of BVO in soft drinks. The FDA limits the use of BVO to 15 parts per million in fruit-flavored beverages.The FDA labels BVO as an "interim food additive" which is "a food-use substance whose safety has been called into question."1 The FDA has classified only four substances as interim food additives: BVO, acrylonitrile, mannitol, and saccharin.
The European Union, however, isn't messing around with an interim labeling. They think it's dangerous and they've excluded it from the current EU-approved additives list.2
BVO Potential Health Problems
Ingesting bromine increases its concentration in your body. As it builds up, it begins to compete with iodine and causes relative iodine deficiency. The result is a condition sometimes referred to as "Brominated Thyroid." In a sense, this is a type of thyroid goiter, although the effects are more subtle than what you will see with a true iodine deficiency.3This condition was originally seen in animal studies testing flame retardants. After the studies, the animals involved often developed low thyroid secondary to bromine leaching into their bloodstreams.
Additionally, bromine is considered a potential carcinogen and causes a number of problems such as headaches, fatigue, and possibly even heart and kidney issues. An interesting condition is called Bromoderma. These are painful skin sores that were first seen in young adult gamers who would consume large amounts of citrus-flavored drinks because of their higher caffeine content.4
Bromoderma normally occurs in people with bromine or bromide sensitivities. However, it can occur with ingestion of large amounts of bromine from certain soft-drinks.5
The FDA Says A Little BVO is Safe
As mentioned above, the FDA allows 15 parts per million of BVO in fruit-flavored beverages. This level was determined in 1977 by reports from a soda-industry group. But some scientists say that limit is based on data that is thin and several decades old.Considering that sodas are a substantial source of calories for teenagers, scientists insist BVO needs further investigation.
What do you think? Is this another dangerous chemical that the FDA has approved in order to protect a billion-dollar industry?
Well, let's not be too hard on the FDA. We understand that they're really busy going after walnut farmers for marketing their all-natural products as heart-healthy.

Just please watch this short video from Rick Reilly and tell me what the vuvuzela joke at the end means. I mean it's incomprehensible. There's not even a failed attempt at a real joke there. What the fuck does it have to do with anything? How could you buy an offensive formation a vuvuzela? Or a gun? What is the connection? I'm gonna have a stroke.If you'd rather not sit through the video, it's a short Reilly "essay" about the apparent decline of the Pistol formation, "after all that racket the Pistol made last year." Reilly's kicker is: "Hey, Pistol, wanna buy a vuvuzela?"AdvertisementIt's not a joke so much as a joke-like sound, Freddie. My best guess is that there are actually two layers to the gag. On a basic level, Reilly is saying that the Pistol needs a noisemaker now that it's no longer making a "racket" of its own. (Why a vuvuzela? Reilly probably thinks it sounds funny. He's using "vuvuzela" the way Johnny Carson used "Keokuk, Iowa.")On a deeper level, however, he is saying that the vuvuzela, like the Pistol, is a once-fashionable but now outmoded media sensation; by asking the suddenly anthropomorphized offensive formation if he/she would like to buy a vuvuzela, Reilly is also reminding the Pistol (and the viewer) that the favorite baubles of a certain cultural moment can fall unaccountably and irrevocably out of style, and that life churns on, remorseless and unheeding, and that we are all one day going to die.A similar joke would be: "Hey, Pistol, wanna buy a pet rock?"SponsoredIf you'd like to try at home, the template is: "Hey, [cultural fad], wanna buy [yesterday's useless artifact]?" Here, I'll start: "Hey, ESPN, wanna buy a Rick Reilly column?"Reply36 repliesLeave a reply

I am the type of person that is always "nesting" even without a baby getting ready to make his appearance. Baby on the horizon only increases this compulsion. We purchased another baby monitor, located the infant car seat and co-sleeper and I made my husband go through his clothes this weekend. If I'm not laying down on my left side, something is being organized.
We finally completed our wills this week and had them notarized at Daddy's office (what is it about long office hallways that invite little boys to run at top speed until they go straight into someone's office?). Even though these concern temporal matters, it gives me much peace knowing these documents are in place. I seriously encourage everyone to have something down on paper should the unexpected happen. We followed the advice of several lawyers and didn't hire a lawyer, but used Quicken Willmaker instead. It also allowed us to make and have notarized other forms that authorize grandma to seek medical treatment for the kids, etc.
The one thing that I am still hoping to figure out before our little man arrives is how to make our double stroller work for 3. Has anyone tried the Lascal Buddy Board stroller platforms? I know they are expensive, but with as much as we go to the park and the pool and with gas prices so high, I am trying to figure out how to convey 3 kids under 3 if my back can't handle the sling for 12 hours a day. I called the company and, because of the handlebar on my Combi double stroller, they said it wasn't a great fit, but that the Basic buddy board would work better than the Maxi one. Are there any other options that I don't know about?

12 Best Hot Dogs in Philadelphia
Hot dogs have a long history in Philadelphia. In 1895, just a few years after the first stand opened at Coney Island and around the same time as the first franks were served in a St. Louis ballpark, Lithuanian immigrant Abe Levis opened his modest pushcart on South Street. His most popular item? Sausage links on a bun — aka hot dogs. The cart morphed into a brick-and-mortar soda fountain at Sixth and South, and the dogs gained fame, especially topped with fishcake, a combo some credit as the original surf 'n' turf.
You won't find that South Street shop anymore (it closed in 1992), but not to worry — there are plenty of great ways to fulfill cravings for the summertime classic. From haute to old school, gussied up to plain and simple, here are 12 hot dogs to seek out in Philadelphia.

Already did. Perhaps you're familiar with a guy named Josh Lizotte? I'm going to give him a call and discuss a few things with him. Let's see how you "like" that. LOL!

Does this mean that they are no longer making the 1000 mile boot in the US?
I apologize if my message was not directed correctly. I was referring to the last pair of the limited production of the 1000 Mile 721 LTD Shell Cordovan boot. There where only 1000 boots total produced for the 721 LTD Shell Cordovan. Wolverine apparently had one last pair still in the factory. That is the pair that I bought yesterday. So I got the last of the 721 LTD series. I don't know if it is actually number 1000 or just the last pair still in the factory. I will know that soon enough. And since I am uploading another message here I will share this as well. I live in Chicago and decided to visit the Horween tannery here on the north side. I was taken on a tour of the facilities including the Shell Cordovan area. It is very interesting to see the work and craftsmanship that goes into creating the finished product. I was shown a complete finished Cordovan horsehide ready for shoe making. Even looking at a completed Cordovan hide shining under the light made me want a pair of Cordovan boots more. Where you aware that ONE pair of boots come from ONE horse? The rear hide (ASS) as I was told produces one pair of boots. One boot from each side (cheek). It is a very beautiful hide to see prior to construction. The Horween guide told me right out that all of the top shoe makers use the Horween Cordovan. Even Wolverine. And what I like about it the most. The hide is done in the USA and the boot is made in the USA. Worth every dollar to me.
So is this place legit to put a pre-order in?: http://shop.fitzs.com/744ltd-wolverine-1000-mile-boot-w00744/
I can't remember, do we have ANY details on it? Hard for me to put down a deposit without some info.
MarioImpemba, yes that is exactly where I bought my 721 LTDs. I talked to the manager "Bob" on the phone. He called Wolverine to see if there were boots available. I paid for my order and the boots are being shipped direct from Wolverine to me. And you can put in a pre-order with Bob at Fitzgerald's Mens store for the 744 LTD. 1-616-957-2531 ask for Bob. I would imagine it helps talking to a real person when you are spending nearly a grand. That is what I did.
tsekh, no there are no public tours. Its just that the place is full of laid back hard working regular guys who are proud of what they do. Most of them are happy to show you around. Provided you are not getting in their way. Which depending on where you are in the building is easy to do. Drive your car to the rear of the building. Looks like an alley. That is the way in. The hook is that Horween sells hides to walk ins. That was my initial purpose to visit. And I did buy two spreads of Horse hide. I am making cases for my lap top, IPad and IPhone. I wanted unique cases with character. While I was there shopping for a hide I asked about the factory. And off we went. I was impressed not just by the operation but by the men that work there. Reminded me of what it was like long ago all over this country when people worked the way they work. No cookie cutter stuff. Skill and an eye for the beauty of their work. You shouldn't have a problem getting in. I am certain you will meet and greet properly upon arrival. All will go well.

Almost two months after actor Lee Thompson Young took his own life at the age of 29, it's been revealed that the Rizzoli & Isles actor had a history with bipolar disorder. A report from the Los Angeles Country Coroner revealed Tuesday, Oct. 8, (via The Daily News) that at the time, Young was taking medication for his condition and also suffered from depression. Lithium capsules and Quetiapine Fumarate tablets were found both at his residence and detected in his blood. The report also mentions that no trace of opiates, cocaine, alcohol or other drugs were found in his system.
PHOTOS: Stars we've lost in 2013
The late star was discovered with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his right temple at his North Hollywood apartment on Aug. 19 after he didn't turn up for a call time on set of the TNT series. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that a suicide note was also not found at the tragic scene.
"Lee was more than just a brilliant young actor, he was a wonderful and gentle soul who will be truly missed," Young's publicist said at the time in a statement.
PHOTOS: Disney stars through the years
Young first broke out in 1998 as the lead in Disney's The Famous Jett Jackson. He later reprised the role in a 2001 movie about the character, also making appearance on TV shows such as Smallville and Scrubs.
