- - Measuring a horse for proper saddle fit.
Measuring a horse for proper saddle fit. How do I go about measuring a horse to ensure proper saddle fit? Preferably for a western saddle The reason I'm asking is because my saddle doesn't fit me or my horse so I'm selling it and buying another one but all I know is that I need a 14 inch seat bu that doesn't help my horse |
I usually bend a piece of wire that'll hold it's shape when I'm done so that I can fit it to the saddlea I''m looking to buy. |
What kind of saddle are you using that doesn't work? What kind of horse do you have? |
41 Attachment(s) [QUOTE]I usually bend a piece of wire that'll hold it's shape when I'm done so that I can fit it to the saddlea I''m looking to buy.[QUOTE] ^ Never thought of that, it's a good idea! |
Ok but where and what parts of my horse do I measure? My saddle for one is too long my horse has a short back and the skirt of my saddle is 24 inches Or does the skirt size even matter. Also How do I know if I need full qh bars or quarter bars? |
My horse is a twh/paint cross and I'm looking for a barrel racing saddle. |
Ok I figured it out. I need a 22 inch skirt, 6 in bars and 12.5 swell and 14" seat |
My only problem is all the saddles I'm finding online will fit except for my horse needs a saddle that's no longer than 22 inches they're all 26 inches any help on that does it have to be 22 inches |
Usually the bars are (depending on brand) Semi 6.5" Regular 6.75" Full 7" You are probably okay with a normal barrel saddle that is about 24 inches. The semi 6.5" is usually a more slender horse with some withers. I don't think you want the full - or your horse needs to get in shape and your times probably aren't good! (joking) The 6.75" is what more barrel racers are made in for that athletic build. |
I don't even barrel race yet... I want too so I'm going ahead and buying the saddle This is the saddle I want to order 14 16 Zebra Western Horse Barrel Racing Saddle- Western Horse Saddles - Saddle Online |

UPDATE 9/24/2011: I have officially uploaded and credited all tracks from the musical score. They are updated in the menu as well.
UPDATE 9/23/2011: Daily 3rd AND front page?! On Madness Day?!! Thank you SOOO much guys. I've added two new audio tracks to the credits section. The last two will be up tomorrow.
So here it is, "Madness Heist". I'd like to start off by saying I am sorry only half of the music tracks have been uploaded. My brother (the composer) and I didn't realize there was a 2 upload per day limit. The rest of the tracks should be up by Saturday.
Anyway, about the movie:
This was definitely my most "collaborative" project to date. I think all of my voice actors did an outstanding job and really make the movie what it is. Also, my brother (MrRedstone) was nice enough to score the ENTIRE feature. Literally, ALL the music you hear was created by him so give him some props as well. Between the VA's and the composer, and of course animating the project, I think I was able to reach the cinematic effect I was going for.
I'd like to say more, but I don't want to give too much away. So once again, PLEASE ENJOY!

The only thing I can say is you should have made the talking louder than the background music. Other than that this is a wonderful piece of work. I feel like I just watched a part of a movie XD

ST. PETERSBURG — Georgi Hristov's penalty kick goal, the result of a long period of Rowdies dominant play, was the difference in Tampa Bay's 1-0 defeat of Orlando City B on Saturday night before a loud and record Rowdies crowd at Al Lang Stadium.
ST. PETERSBURG — Short of getting awarded a Major League Soccer franchise — and they're trying hard on that front — it was as eventful an offseason as the Tampa Bay Rowdies have ever had.
Spring training in Florida has always meant baseball in March. That used to be especially true in St. Petersburg, where over the years Al Lang Stadium was the spring home for teams like the Yankees, Orioles, Mets, Cardinals and the early years of the Devil Rays.
With a cleverly concocted phrase and a large show of support, Tampa Bay Rowdies owner Bill Edwards went to work in New York City.
ST. PETERSBURG — There was no comment from the Tampa Bay Rowdies Monday night amid reports the team will be moving out of the North American Soccer League.
ST. PETERSBURG — The Rowdies hoped to improve their slippery playoff outlook Saturday. But a red card in the first half and two missed open-goal opportunities changed all that.
ST. PETERSBURG — After a pulsating half-hour that saw the Rowdies keep their playoff hopes afloat, the soccer gods that seemed destined to have them duck out of the playoff picture struck again Wednesday. Visiting Indy Eleven shook off a Rowdies rally for a 3-2 victory when Nicki Paterson drilled in the winning …
The governing council of soccer's world governing body, FIFA, voted Friday to bar countries in Europe and Asia, which will host the next two World Cups, from bidding to host the tournament in 2026. The decision significantly increases the chances that the event will take place in the United States, either as the sole …
MIAMI — The Rowdies came back from a 2-0 deficit on goals by Georgi Hristov and Juan Guerra to tie host Miami 2-2 on Friday night and create a three-way tie for the fourth and final NASL playoff spot.
ST. PETERSBURG — The Rowdies were only too glad to extend Minnesota's late-game misery Wednesday, pulling off a crucial 2-2 draw when Keith Savage scored in the 92nd minute. The teams stayed tied for fourth place and the final playoff spot in the NASL, but the Rowdies have a game in hand.

Home Affairs Correspondent
The Home Secretary should no longer decide if, or when, murderers like Myra Hindley should be freed, according to an influential committee of MPs.
The Conservative-dominated Home Affairs Select Committee said Michael Howard might be in a better position to respond to "public will" in high- profile cases, but "public opinion is not the surest guide in making such a decision".
The MPs said it was wrong in principle for a politician to play a role in what should be a matter for the judges. Mr Howard has made no secret of the fact that he takes public acceptability of release into account before reaching a decision.
But the MPs disappointed peers, lawyers and senior judges by failing to recommend abolishing the mandatory life sentence for murder, thus giving the judges the power to fix sentences for murderers. "Abolishing the mandatory life sentence for murder would risk sending a signal to the public at large that causing the death of another person was in some way less seriously regarded than previously," they said.
The issue of who decides how long murderers should spend in prison has long been the source of heated debate, as campaigners demand the release of criminals such as the Moors murderer Hindley, who has now served nearly 30 years. The European Court of Human Rights has already abolished the Home Secretary's role in deciding when to release prisoners serving "discretionary" life sentences for offences such as rape or manslaughter.
The mandatory sentence was brought in to reflect public intolerance of murder, when capital punishment was abolished in 1965. At present, anyone convicted of murder must receive a life sentence. The trial judge then makes a suggestion on the minimum period the killer should serve, known as the "tariff". This, with the views of the Lord Chief Justice, is passed to the Home Secretary who decides the term a murderer must serve to satisfy the demands of "retribution and deterrence".
A committee of peers, and an independent committee headed by Lord Lane, the former Lord Chief Justice, have demanded that the compulsory life sentence for murder be abolished. They concluded that the mandatory penalty fails to allow for varying degrees of wickedness.
The MPs disputed claims that it was inflexible saying that tariffs can be set as low as three years up to natural life - thus reflecting the heinousness of each crime. Last year 15 killers, including Myra Hindley were told they would never leave prison alive. The average length of a mandatory life sentence is about 14 years.
However, the MPs called for more clarity and openness in the system, suggesting that murderers, victims families and the courts are informed of the tariffs - and recommending that an appeal system be set up so that either the defendant or the prosecution could challenge it.
Paul Cavadino, chairman of the penal affairs consortium, said ending the Secretary of State's power to decide whenand if murderers should be set free would remove "one of the most objectionable features of the mandatory life sentence".
The committee said its findings were "preliminary" and it is to call further evidence before making final recommendations next year.

Sun on a cloudy day
As another visual harvest from the noisy embankment of the US 183 freeway in Austin on the overcast morning of December 1, behold once again a sunflower, Helianthus annuus, a species that appeared so often in the springtime of this column. Sunflowers typically begin flowering in central Texas in the latter part of May and they usually reach their peak by the end of June, but it's common for a few to straggle on even through late fall, until there's finally a freeze.
Many photographers have had the experience of looking at an image on the computer screen and seeing something they hadn't noticed when they took the picture. Call it tunnel vision if you like, say it's a defect or a gift, but it's real. In this case, when I was out in the field I never noticed the insect on the green bract of the sunflower, even though it was sitting so prominently in the center of that ring of bracts. All I can say is that the sunflower's bright rays curving upward drew my attention away from the darker regions of the flower head just below.
For those interested in photography as a craft, points 1, 3, and 8 in About My Techniques are relevant to today's picture.

I've enjoyed seeing a resurgence of sunflowers in the past weeks. A little rain, and a little warmth, and they thrive. It's been fun tracking the city work crews, too. They've been mowing regularly, but here and there, where there are larger stands of sunflowers – they're still standing!
Some experiences with a camera can be shared by the pro and the point-and-shooter, and you raised one today. I believe it was two years ago we experienced a particularly close perigee moon. I wanted to have a reminder of it, so I stepped onto my balcony to take the photograph.
I was so focused on the moon I barely noted the lovely Belt of Venus, but I was completely astonished when I uploaded the image and discovered I'd captured not only pink sky but pink water. I remember exactly what I thought: "How'd I miss that?"
Sounds like you have more sunflowers near the coast than we do here, where I've seen isolated plants flowering but no groups of them. I'm always heartened to hear of anything that survives mowing, but I hope you didn't have to bribe the mowers.
In looking at your picture, my eyes jumped to the pink in the bottom right corner that picked up color from the sky, so I agree with you about how surprising it was that you weren't aware of it at the time. Or maybe not so surprising, given the number of times it seems to happen. Sometimes when I walk back from a location along the same path I followed on the way out, I see things that I'd walked right past the first time but hadn't noticed. Extrapolating from occurrences like these, I've often wondered how many things I've missed.
Shoreacres your photo is beautiful!
Steve, you said, "Sometimes when I walk back from a location along the same path I followed on the way out, I see things that I'd walked right past the first time but hadn't noticed." This is precisely why when you go hiking on long, or unknown trails they tell you to turn around often and take stock of view from the other direction! (Less chance of getting lost… I could tell you stories.) 🙂 ~ L
I wasn't aware that people on long or unknown trails are told to turn round often and look in the opposite direction, but I've certainly learned to do that myself, especially if I plan to return by a different route. So I've had kindred spirits all along and didn't know it. And yes, as a practical matter, I do sometimes look back to fix places in my mind so I know how to recognize the path home.
I love sunflowers, this is beautiful!!
Thanks, Juanita. You can tell that I'm a fan of sunflowers too because there have been more photographs in this blog of them than of any other wildflower. I imagine they're not flowering any more in Michigan, so I'm thankful to still be finding some down here in central Texas.
I'm so glad you linked back to your craft points, because I immediately wondered what went in to that shot! The perspective you chose is terrific, and so interesting that you used a flash on this, too. Beautiful photo–but then that's nothing new with you!
Thanks for the kind words, Susan. You might say that I look up to sunflowers, though that's true for many other native plants as well.
i don't always put links to the craft points, but the fact that I did this time may be evidence that I picked up on your near-future wondering.
Those unseen nuggets are a wonderful boost to the photographer's soul; to look at an image and be rewarded with that one 'thing' that you weren't aware you had captured is exciting. Great capture, as usual fantastic detail. Congrats on the other 'visitor' being there when you didn't expect. Cheers!
As a fellow photographer you can certainly relate to those welcome but unexpected finds. In my case they're partly a function of age: I don't see things that are very close as sharply as I used to unless I'm wearing glasses, and I don't wear glasses when I look through the viewfinder of my camera. Maybe I should start referring to these finds as ARS, for age-related serendipity.
There are a couple of prairie locations not too far from my base in northeast Illinois–Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie and Nachusa Grasslands Preserve–that are sunflower havens in the mid- and late summer. The sunflowers are usually making very nice progress around the time that the native purple coneflowers (not the ubiquitous hybrids that are so commonly found in gardens) start to burn out. I can say without fear of contradiction that I've never seen a living sunflower in Illinois or Indiana in December.
Thanks for posting.
I'm glad to hear that you have some prairies near you where you can see not only sunflowers but native purple coneflowers. At the same time I'm sorry that your northern latitude doesn't let you say that you've seen a living sunflower in December. The temperature here dropped to just below freezing two nights ago, but when I drove past the embankment this morning I still saw a couple of sunflowers, and I've seen a few in other parts of Austin as well. You can let that be an enticement to visit Austin in March, when you'll have gotten really tired of winter up there and when we'll already be happy to see spring wildflowers.
Texas during bluebonnet peak bloom is on my (depressingly long) list of "must do" photographic trips. I'm just waiting for some assurance of a few years of decent rain down there so I can count on a good show…
2010 was an excellent spring for bluebonnets, but because of the drought 2011 was poor, not only for bluebonnets, but for wildflowers on the whole. There's no certainty about what will happen each spring, but even in dry years there are always some species of wildflowers that thrive. There are so many other species of wildflowers here beyond bluebonnets that you could photograph.
My favorite place to take photographs is in my gardens. I often find strange and wonderful creatures within the flowers and foliage. Maddeningly, they come out better when I don't know they're hiding, than when I go out with the express purpose of trying to capture them! Well, there was that one cicada this year that I was proud of. Beautiful photo, Steve. ~ L
Thanks, Lynda. You're right that the intention to photograph some strange or wonderful creature doesn't always coincide with success in doing so. I find it's hit and miss, with some things getting away from me and others not. And there are always those welcome times when I stumble on something unexpected or when something unexpected comes to me. As an example of the second type, I've had it happen that I was looking through the viewfinder of my camera while taking a closeup of a wildflower and suddenly a butterfly landed right on that flower that I was photographing.
I enjoy seeing such flowers out of season, particularly in winter. Great photo for an overcast day!
A good thing about living this far south is that sunflowers aren't fully out of season yet the way they are up north. Your out-of-season look is my they're-still-here look.
[…] I took this photograph on July 20 on the east bank of Waller Creek along Chesterfield Ave. in north-central Austin. Sunflowers typically reach their peak in my part of the world in June, but scattered plants continue to flower through the summer and early fall (and occasionally even late fall, as I reported last December 7).

Troy Senik: Presidents who promise the world destined to disappoint
Progressivism, despite the pretensions of its name, has a hard time letting go of the past. For evidence, one need look no further than the United States Capitol, where, Tuesday night, President Obama indulged in that most outmoded of presidential traditions: the State of the Union address.
Though it's not widely known, the modern format of the annual speech owes to Woodrow Wilson, progressive president par excellence and intellectual forebear of our current chief executive. It was Wilson who decided in 1913 that the Constitution's requirement that the president "shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient" necessitated him delivering a speech. Prior to that innovation, the State of the Union had been delivered in written form, last being read aloud by John Adams in 1800.
There's a reason that Wilson, a former Princeton University president, revived the ancient tradition: Like the current inhabitant of the Oval Office, he was a progressive academic with a boundless faith in his own abilities to transform traditional politics. Had he not had an institutional excuse to thunder progressive pieties at members of Congress, he likely would have been bombarding pedestrians with them on the streets of Washington.
Whatever use the State of the Union address had in the America of 1913, it no longer holds up in 2014. For proof, look no further than the television ratings. Viewership for Barack Obama's annual delivery of the speech dropped by 36 percent from 2009-13. Similarly, Bill Clinton saw audiences for his State of the Union speeches decline by more than half over the length of his tenure (from nearly 67 million viewers in 1993 to 31.4 million in 2000).
Part of the decline, of course, owes to the fact that familiarity with an American president often breeds contempt. The longer our commanders in chief hang around, the more the public regards them with the sort of enduring fatigue usually reserved for a stale romance. Part of it, however, owes to a trend that the State of the Union itself embodies: the tendency toward presidential ubiquity.
It's not just that our presidents are everywhere – on late-night talk shows, in March Madness coverage, doing interviews on hip-hop radio stations – it's also that they involve themselves in everything. The president's address on Tuesday night, for instance, touched on topics ranging from childhood obesity to the television show "Mad Men."
This is the pervasive folly of modern presidencies. They become gripped by the notion that an age of media saturation and 24-hour news cycles demands a chief executive that is both omnipotent and omnipresent.
In truth, the reality likely runs the other way. Consider, for instance, that Barack Obama consistently sees his approval numbers increase when he stays out of the public eye for awhile. The power of the bully pulpit is subject to diminishing marginal returns. The more we see of our presidents – and the more they attempt to insert themselves into every nook and cranny of American life – the more the mystique of the office is trivialized.
While this trend may be salient as a matter of presidential style, it also has a substantive correlate. A presidency that is about everything inevitably becomes a presidency about nothing. Viewers of Obama's Tuesday night address heard proposals on everything from alternative energy to job training programs to K-12 curriculum. A speech that had any relationship to the way the presidency actually functions, by contrast, would have focused on only a few marquee items demanding action: job creation, fixing Obamacare and cutting the national debt, for example.
In an age when presidents promise the world, they are destined to disappoint. Perhaps some future chief executive will recognize that a presidency of more modest ambitions would actually be a stronger one. The current inhabitant of the White House shows no signs of arriving at such an epiphany.

The Nativity is just beautiful. I stopped putting up a tree about 5 years ago. Instead, my husband made the creche and I got large ceramic figures and we put up the Nativity on a table with a snow skirt beneath it. We then place the gifts around the Nativity. Even the grandchildren know what Grandma believes about Christmas. They love it. God bless, Bobbi

I'm a total vampy polish addict, but every now and then I need a palate cleanser.
Above is 2 coats of Tuilleries with top coat. This is a sheer baby pink with silver, purple, red, & orange medium hex glitters as well as red, silver, & orange tiny glitters. It looks like there may be some white glitter in there as well. This applied like a dream. I absolutely love this polish too and it totally reminds me of tulips.
You can purchase LEX polishes and learn more about the story behind each shade HERE. They donate a portion of each polish sale to its respective charity. The charity for Tuilleries is Lung Cancer Research, which my father happens to be a survivor of.
I need to get more from this brand. I've loved the ones I've tried so far.
I was lucky enough to snag this from Sneakpeeq (referral link) a while back for free.

HRH Princess Mathilde of Belgium, Duchess of Brabant, was born on 20 January 1973 in Uccle or Ukkel in Flemish, one of the nineteen municipalities located in the Brussels-Capital Region. She is the daughter of the Count and Countess Patrick d'Udekem d'Acoz.
Princess Mathilde went to primary school in Bastogne, followed by secondary school at the Institut de la Vierge Fidèle in Brussels. From 1991 to 1994, she studied to be a speech therapist at the Institut Libre Marie Haps in Brussels, graduating magna cum laude.
Princess Mathilde unveiled the stamp that was issued to commemorate her 40th birthday.
She set up her own professional speech therapy practice in Brussels, where she worked from 1995 until the end of 1999, when she married the heir to the Belgian throne, HRH Prince Philippe, Duke of Brabant. At the same time, she began studying for a master's degree in psychology at the Catholic University of Louvain. She graduated cum laude in 2002.
The Princess has a special interest in working with vulnerable people, in particular with children. Within these areas of interest, the Fund Princess Mathilde was created in December 2000. Each year, the Fund identifies projects that aim to make a difference in helping vulnerable people. It bestows an annual Prize on the most valuable project. In addition, Princess Mathilde has given her patronage to several associations dealing with issues of concern to vulnerable people.
She also attaches prime importance to educational subjects, the empowerment of women and supports projects to fight illiteracy.
In May 2002, she was a member of the Belgian delegation at the UN Conference on Children in New York.
Princess Mathilde accompanies Prince Philippe on missions abroad that aim to enhance the image of Belgium and promote Belgian commercial and economic interests. Missions cover all continents and led them to Australia in November 2002.
Princess Mathilde was granted the title of Princess of Belgium upon her marriage to Prince Philippe of Belgium on 4th December 1999. The wedding at the Saint-Michel et Gudule Cathedrale was the biggest media event in Belgium since the death and succeeding funeral of HM King Baudouin of the Belgians in 1993.
On 25th October 2001, Princess Mathilde gave birth to a daughter, Princess Elisabeth, the heiress presumptive of Belgium, on 20th August 2003 to a son, Prince Gabriel, and on 4th October 2005 to a second son, Prince Emmanuel and on 16th April 2008 to a second daughter, Princess Eléonore.
Opinion polls show that Princess Mathilde figures among the ten most popular Belgians with no. 1 position taken by her father-in-law, HM King Albert II of the Belgians.

Philippine Stocks Decline Most in 10 Weeks: Manila Mover
Ian SaysonPhilippine stocks fell, dragging the benchmark index to its biggest loss in 10 weeks, after valuations climbed to an all-time high.
The Philippine Stock Exchange Index slid 1.4 percent to 6,630.67 at the close of trading in Manila, the sharpest loss since Dec. 17. Ayala Land Inc., the nation's largest developer, and Jollibee Foods Corp., the biggest restaurant operator, slid more than 2.5 percent.
The benchmark index climbed to a record yesterday, extending this year's advance to 16 percent, amid speculation accelerating economic growth will win the nation an investment-grade credit rating in coming months. Valuations climbed to 18.9 times projected 12-month profit yesterday, the highest based on data compiled by Bloomberg going back to 2006 and 42 percent above the seven-year daily average.
"The market is ripe for a correction, with sky-high valuations," James Lago, head of research at PCCI Securities Brokers Corp., said by phone today. "Sentiment also turned negative because of the elections in Italy. If Italy goes haywire, fear of Europe's debt crisis will shoot up again."
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index exchange-traded fund sank 1.3 percent yesterday to an 11-week low as an inconclusive Italian election result renewed concerns over Europe's debt crisis. Italy may need a second election after the four-way race looked to result in a divided parliament that would challenge the European Union's embrace of austerity.
Overseas Funds
Ayala Land fell 3.5 percent, the sharpest loss in almost four months. Jollibee sank 2.7 percent, snapping a seven-day rally. Ayala trades at 38.8 times 12-month projected earnings, while Jollibee is valued at 30.4 times, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The benchmark gauge last traded at 18.7 times.
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. and SM Investments Corp., the nation's biggest companies by market value, lost more than 1 percent.
The Philippine Stock Exchange Index has surged 36 percent in the past year, the best performer among Asia's major stock markets after Pakistan's Karachi 100 Index, as foreign investors piled into the Southeast Asian nation's equities, lured by President Benigno Aquino's economic policies.
Overseas investors have bought a net $843.9 million of Philippine shares so far this year. That's 73 percent more than the same period in 2012, when foreign funds were net purchasers of a record $2.55 billion of stocks. Shares in the benchmark index are trading at 21.4 times reported earnings, the most expensive in Asia after Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.
Aquino's efforts to boost spending on government projects and tackle corruption are convincing foreign investors to look past the nation's speculative-grade credit rating and focus on the third-fastest growth in Asia after China and Thailand. Philippine gross domestic product increased 6.8 percent from a year earlier in the fourth quarter, compared with 7.9 percent in China.

Despite the presence of the comedians Daniel Kitson and Jeremy Hardy, Kim Noble's audience had the look of a crowd more familiar with the winners of the Turner Prize than, say, the British or Edinburgh Comedy Awards. Certainly, they seemed to know what to expect from a man who both on his own and as one half of a Perrier Best Newcomer award-winning act – Noble & Silver – has mixed comedy with performance art for over a decade.
The measure of this "enlightened" audience was that no one walked out from a show that features sustained images of self-mutilation, masturbation and gratuitous manipulation of the public. All this is done in the name of Noble's study of his own suicidal depression. Since he is now at the end of the show's second run in a year, and the date of an advertised suicide attempt has passed, Noble's problems have presumably abated and given way to a dutiful sense of showbusiness.
Nevertheless, the nihilistic pranks he demonstrates on film in the show – doctoring books by Paul McKenna and Des Lynam; re-packaging a Floella Benjamin ready meal so that it refers to the placings she and Noble achieved in the London Marathon; and, most disturbingly, infecting a feminine hygiene product with his own semen – straddle an uncomfortable line between desperation and showmanship and ultimately veer towards melancholic narcissism.
Many – obviously not all – of these pranks have an inherent humour, for example, Noble's decision to retell the film March of the Penguins as the shortest possible animated short and then put the new version on the shelf at a DVD rental shop. Amusing too are comments on the success of some of his contemporaries (which has added insult to injury for the troubled Noble), including Mathew Horne and Catherine Tate.
"Catherine Tate appeared on stage with him. Now she's doing Hollywood. Am I bovvered? Yes, I fucking am." So goes Noble's mother's assessment – his mother, here, being an image projected on to a bucket that sits on the head of an audience member who has been lured onstage.
However, while Noble's "suicide note" – which he performs wearing the legs of a torn Superman costume and a bald cap, and with his face caked in white make-up – vacillates between easy laughs and blunt imagery, my mind wavers between moderately amused and irritated, especially by one of the final sequences. This features numerous shots of Noble climaxing and also throwing clutches of £5 notes at people waiting in the foyer of a Citizens Advice Bureau. The residual feeling is that the joke is on us – it is a knob gag too far, emphasising a "charitable" gesture that is perhaps the only truly offensive thing about this admittedly lurid show.
The idea that some of the show is just for its performer is reinforced by the closing sequence, in which Noble cradles a puppet while singing Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine" and is elevated above the stage by a winch. The puppet is supposed to represent Noble's most recent girlfriend but in fact the story, which Noble recently revealed, is that the puppet signifies a child miscarried by that partner. He does mention this child earlier in the show but given a sexual scene shown between him and the puppet and the direct link Noble makes between the puppet and his last love, any other symbolism is obscured. Given the sex scene, this is perhaps just as well, unless Noble is deliberately trying to dig at deeper, darker material. One assumes not but what is sure is that Noble is all about going too far, seemingly without regard for himself or others.

Or scratch up your front side pretty good pulling yourself up on it. I thought that of all platforms I saw with a rail at the boat show earlier this year.
Printable View
I'm also interested in the cost if you don't mind sharing.
My local dealer here in Las Vegas, told me it would be 549.99 plus 49.99 for new brackets for the surf platform with the SS Rubrail... that sound correct?
Sorry for the delay, here are the pictures with the set screws:
Attachment 15019Attachment 15020
It does have the SS Rubrail and End Cap.
Dealer called to say that my new surf platform is in! Bad news is that I'm gone for a week so won't be able to mount it and test it until the 28th.
I don't remember the final cost, but I really liked the new platform. I felt it was worth it. Some people spend that on stereo equip, just depends on what your preference is. I thought it didn't need to be so deep, it is at 6 inches deeper than the stock platform, which gave me concern not to stand on the back edge of it much since it would be putting more strain on the brackets, but I may have just been overly cautious. The curvature of the sides allowed the water to pass right by it, so the platform was not dragging water. To me it was worth it.
I have the new Surf platform on my Mojo and Love it.
Like said, it doesnt drag in the wave now and the transition is much cleaner. Now.
I am not to worried about standing on the rear, i have done it several times and no issues.
How ever, im looking at getting some rubber edging to go around the lip, last time we were out my dog got a nasty gash in his rear leg from one of the corners on the platform, he has never had that happen and id hate for that to be a knee..
As for the new Mounting brakets with the pins to tighten the platform up so it doesnt rattle.
Well the first set of pins were allen heads counter sunk into the bolts, they striped right out, so my dealer used SS screws with larger heads that wont strip out as easy.
Deff love the platform.

Morton's The Steakhouse Restaurant Review: This downtown branch of the national steakhouse chain features cuts of USDA Prime beef, accompanied by traditional steakhouse sides and a selection of big red wines. The comforting clubby steakhouse setting is pleasantly predictable; refreshing in this era of loud, hip contemporary steakhouses. Although you can never go wrong with Morton's steaks, seafood selections like the Bluepoint oysters, shrimp Alexander and lobster bisque make excellent diversions. Soufflés must be ordered in advance, and although they don't measure up to the dreamy confections of some of the city's finest French chefs, they make for a light touch after a big, beefy meal. |

Underage Drinkers Binge-Drink Bud Light More Than Any Other Alcohol Brand
Bud Light is the most popular brand for underage binge-drinking, accounting for more than 13 percent of consumption, according to a study by researchers at Boston University and Johns Hopkins. The total is nearly double that of Jack Daniel's bourbons, which was the second most popular at 7 percent.
Although Bud Light was reported as the most popular brand, spirits were much more popular for underage binge-drinking, making up nearly 44 percent of consumption while beer made up less than 33 percent. Vodka was the most popular spirit consumed, with Smirnoff being the most popular brand.
Binge-drinking accounts for around two-thirds of all under-age alcohol consumption, according to the study, with the top-25 brands in terms of overall consumption accounting for more than 46 percent of all binge-drinking. The survey included 898 brands.
You can read the full report here by paying $46 for 24-hour access to the document, which is approximately the cost of two 30-racks plus a six-pack of Bud Light.
(@lilsarg is pretty sure, but not positive, that it's a 30-pack, not a 30-rack. We will update as more information becomes available.)

Do what he says... |
I am gonna get a GC in 10 years, because of such people misusing H1B.. I am selfish.Everybody is. |
Gosh! Many people are giving much opinion. But, one thing everyone must understand, about H1B concept. When an employer applies H1B, he accepts lot of condition and obligations s in LCA. The main condition is that employer says that he has employment/offer of job from the dates specified in the LCA. Also, the employer accepts the conditions that under penalty of perjury that he will pay the wage to H1B worker, starting from the date the H1B worker reports for the job in US. There is nothing called bench in this process. That means, if employee (you) reported for job, you are actually working for the employer. You can be working for him in his office or at his client site or doing nothing (bench). Unless, employer terminates the employment in writing, you are actually working for him. If he fails to pay salary, it is a federal violation. It is a serious issue for the employer in terms of fine and jail term. My advice is to contact your employer in writing and explain his obligations under federal law to pay salary for 4 months. Ask him to deposit the salary within 10 days as per LCA wage agreement. If he is asking you to go back, then ask him to provide official termination letter and ticket/fare for return flight. If you do not receive a written letter from him with in 10 days, after you sent the written letter, contact DOL, USCIS in writing with copy of all documents and explain your stress/situation. As nothing wrong in your side, you are still in status. You can even apply for H1B transfer, if you find another employer offering job. Do not worry about you do not have pay stubs. If they issue RFE in your H1B transfer, you can explain all the above. Keep all in writing and document all. Good luck. |
Beware of imposters !!
Please be aware of the fact that lots of the posters don't have un-blemished track record. And they, as I read, are trying to ward you away from doing right thing. The right thing to do is take the matter to lawful conclusion. Those who are advicing you otherwise, don't want too much light on these fradulant practices, as this affects their apple cart. But than their are many of us, who want to get rid of these scumbags. So please report the matter to DOL. Maybe this whole expereience didn't help you, but it may clear the path for others. think big! and Good luck. |
Nikith77 what would you have done if you were in ariesbkk18 position???
Comeon ariesbkk18, you have nothing to lose.. Go ahead and report this to DOL. If not anything, at least this employer won't screw anyone else.. ariesbkk18, you are already out of status.. reporting the matter to DOL. I personally believe people here are very helpful if you ask for their help (and yes there are bad apples also) but mostly people at DOL will help and guide you. Go for it man and teach this f****r employer a lesson.

Season 7 American Idol runner-up David Archuleta is back on the scene with a new album coming on March 26. This will be the pop sensation's fifth studio album and will feature a mix of new material as well as a few previously unreleased U.S. singles.
The new album is entitled No Matter How Far and the first single from the CD will be "Don't Run Away," a love ballad sure to please his American Idol fans. The song was produced by The Nexus, comprised of British musicians David Sneddon and James Bauer-Mein, and will be released in February ahead of the album.
What's fascinating about this album release is that Archuleta, who is a Mormon, is currently serving on a two-year mission in South America for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In late 2011, the young singer announced to his fans at a holiday concert that he would serve his church and his faith with the mission.
He told a Salt Lake City audience, who first heard the announcement, "It's not because someone told me I was supposed to do it and not because I no longer want to do music anymore. It's what I feel I need to do next in my life."
The news was shocking to some of his fans since he's had quite a bit of success post-Idol. As one of the youngest contestants ever to perform on American Idol at the age of 16, he followed up his show success with a self-titled album. The album and his first single, "Crush," peaked at #2 on the Billboard charts with the single topping over 2 million downloads.
Archuleta has approximately a year left in his mission in Chile. He's made it clear he'll return to music full-time when he's back in the States.

Obama's Recess Appointments Questioned by U.S. High Court
Greg StohrU.S. Supreme Court justices suggested they may curb the president's power to make temporary appointments without Senate approval, as the court took up a constitutional standoff between the White House and congressional Republicans.
Hearing arguments today in Washington, justices across the ideological spectrum questioned whether President Barack Obama legally appointed three members of the National Labor Relations Board in January 2012. The case is the court's first look at a constitutional provision that lets the president make temporary appointments to high-level posts during Senate recesses.
Several justices indicated they accepted the argument, made jointly by a company facing NLRB sanctions and Senate Republicans, that the chamber wasn't in a recess when Obama made the appointments.
"It really is the Senate's job to determine whether they're in recess or whether they're not," said Justice Elena Kagan, one of Obama's two appointees to the high court. Justice Anthony Kennedy later made a similar point.
At stake is the scope of a power the Obama administration says has been used thousands of times since the country's founding. A broad ruling against the president might all but nullify the recess appointment power.
The case also may cast doubt on about 1,000 decisions and orders issued by the NLRB during the disputed period. Those include one before the justices involving soft-drink bottler Noel Canning Corp. of Yakima, Washington.
Political Showdown
The case stems from a 2011-2012 political showdown. Facing the prospect that Obama would make appointments during Congress's holiday break, House and Senate Republicans refused to formally adjourn. The Senate held "pro forma" sessions that sometimes involved a single senator's brief appearance in the chamber about every third day.
Obama, saying lawmakers were in recess, made the appointments of Sharon Block, Terence Flynn and Richard Griffin on Jan. 4, 2012. On that same day, the president also named Richard Cordray as a recess appointee to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The immediate stakes in the case have shrunk. A few weeks after the court accepted the case in June, Senate Republicans and Democrats reached an agreement that cleared the way for confirmation of two new NLRB nominees, plus Cordray. Senate Democrats later pushed through a change in the body's rules so that a simple majority will be able to confirm most presidential nominees.
Multiple Options
The case gives the high court a menu of options for ruling against the administration. The justices could focus on the pro-forma sessions and conclude that no recess had occurred.
They could also adopt the reasoning of a federal appeals court, which ruled 3-0 that the recess-appointment power applies only after a year-long congressional session ends and before the next one begins, and not during breaks within a session.
Two of the appellate judges also said that valid appointments could be made only when the vacancy itself occurred while the Senate was adjourned.
U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli told the justices today that the appeals court reasoning "would repudiate the constitutional legitimacy of thousands of appointments by presidents going back to George Washington."
Practice Prevails
Justice Antonin Scalia asked whether that historical practice could trump the words of the Constitution. When Verrilli said that "practice has to prevail," Scalia bristled.
"So if you ignore the Constitution often enough, its meaning changes?" Scalia asked.
The Constitution says the president "shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session."
Several justices wondered aloud how the court could apply a provision that was designed to allow emergency appointments when the Senate couldn't quickly convene.
"This is not the horse-and-buggy era anymore," Kagan said. "There's no such thing as congressional absence anymore. And that makes me wonder whether we're dealing here with what's essentially an historic relic, something whose original purpose has disappeared."
'End Run'
Noel Canning's lawyer, Noel Francisco, told the justices that the administration was making an "end run" around the constitutional requirement that he get the Senate's "advice and consent" on appointments.
Chief Justice John Roberts suggested agreement, saying he read the Constitution as giving the Senate a robust role.
"You spoke of the intransigence of the Senate," he told Verrilli. "Well, they have an absolute right not to confirm nominees that the president submits."
Miguel Estrada, representing 45 senators, including Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, told the justices that the constitutional framers created a "joint power of appointment." When the Senate won't confirm a nominee, Estrada said, the president should propose an acceptable alternative.
"It's always possible for the president to come up with another nominee who is even more qualified and acceptable to the Senate," he said.
Recess appointees can remain in office through the two-year congressional term that follows the one during which they were appointed.
The case, which the court will resolve by early July, is National Labor Relations Board v. Canning, 12-1281.

One of my favorite breweries, Deschutes Brewery, is celebrating their big 25th anniversary in 2013. To celebrate they will be teaming up with 4 other breweries also celebrating their 25th year to brew some special collaboration beers. North Coast Brewing, Rogue Brewery, Goose Island Beer Company, and Great Lakes Brewing Company will all join Deschutes to make some special beers that will be released throughout 2013. I'll definitely be looking forward to these releases.
More info from the press release:
10 December 2012 – Bend, Oregon – Twenty-five years ago marked a seminal time for the budding craft brewing industry in the United States. Deschutes Brewery is working with four other craft breweries founded in 1988 (North Coast Brewing Co., Rogue Brewery, Goose Island Beer Co. and Great Lakes Brewing Co.) to create a selection of commemorative beers to celebrate their shared 25th anniversary.
Each of the breweries participating in the project will brew its own version of the recipe they collaboratively come with. The respective beers will have a common heritage and ingredients with the brewers working together to brew the beer that will ultimately end up in your glass.
Deschutes Brewery will partner with the following breweries for the limited Class of '88 series beers:
Brewery Partners: North Coast Brewing Company (Ft. Bragg, CA) & Rogue Ales (Newport, OR)
Beer Style: Barley Wine
Planned Release Date: March 2013Story: In the same year these breweries were born, renowned beer connoisseur Fred Eckhardt published The Essentials of Beer Style which included a barley wine style guideline which will provide the basis for this collaboration. All three versions of the barley wines that will result from this unique collaboration will be packaged in 22-ounce and 750 ml bottles, plus draft.
Brewery Partner: Great Lakes Brewing Company (Cleveland, OH)
Beer Style: Smoked Imperial Porter
Planned Release Date: May 2013Story: Building on a history of great porters – Great Lakes Brewing Company's Edmund Fitzgerald and Deschutes Brewery's Black Butte Porter – this Smoked Imperial Porter promises to be exceptional. Both beer versions will be available for a limited time in 22-ounce bottles and draft.
Brewery Partner: Goose Island Beer Company (Chicago, IL)
Beer Style: Belgian-Style Strong Golden Ale
Planned Release Date: Q4 2013Story: Brewers and owners are still working out the details on this beer, which they plan to brew with Riesling juice and Pinot Noir grapes. It will be aged in barrels that previously held Muscat wine in them for 10 years. Again, each brewery will produce its own version of the brew in bottles and draft.
Gary Fish, owner and founder of Deschutes Brewery said, "I'm very excited about all the Class of '88 offerings. I have known personally most all of the principals involved with these breweries for a long time and each them has made substantial and substantive contributions to the world of craft beer in their 25 year history. Although these companies have taken different paths, all have distinguished themselves through the beers they produce and the way they have taken care of their communities and their brands."
Stay tuned for more details on the collaborations and the celebrations as they unfold and as we get closer to their respective release dates.

UPDATE: Goldman Sachs Cuts PT to $35 on Carnival Corporation Following FQ1 Results
Goldman Sachs maintained Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL) with a Neutral rating and lowered the price target from $38.50 to $35.00.
Goldman Sachs analyst Steven Kent commented, "We are updating our CCL estimates following 1Q13 earnings results. … Our EPS estimates are reduced as we factor in greater Net Cruise Costs exfuel due to costs associated with repairs and modifications to ships, and lower net yields. Our net yield estimates are lowered due to management commentary on economic uncertainty in Europe, pricing promotions on the Carnival brand, and less-than-expected onboard revenue growth across the company."
Carnival Corporation closed at $34.95 on Friday.

Tourists participate in preservation of coral reefs
Punta Cana, on the country's easternmost region, and one of the Caribbean's most important tourism destinations, has developed a special program to preserve the surrounding coral reefs.
The program, launched by the Punta Cana Ecological Foundation, has established as one of its main goals the integration of the local community and of visiting tourists in this important endeavor.
The three-year program is being financed with half a million dollars by the Inter-American Development Bank.
The "Support the Conservation of the Coral Gardens" project will work to incorporate the local communities and international visitors in this environmental effort.
The efforts to incorporate the community are not new to the Punta Cana Ecological Foundation. In 2004 the Foundation started to work with local communities when it launched a coral nursery which, in the long run, would propagate existing coral colonies.
The "Coral Gardens" will generate job opportunities for the small and medium-size entrepreneur who wishes to participate in the project.
To date, the Foundation has established nurseries in "Punta Rusia" and Sosua, on the north coast, and in "La Caleta," the underwater national park situated near Las Americas Airport, in Santo Domingo.

I should probably say this first, this review will have more Clannad references then you can shake a stick at, because both anime are very similar, but also very different so there's that.
Yuuichi Aizawa has just moved back to an old snowy town up in the mountains that he used to visit when he was a kid. Oddly enough, he barely remembers anything about what happened there seven years ago, and he starts meeting all these girls he once knew, and they help him figure out what is going on and what his lost memories are. So it's a harem with some supernatural stuff thrown in for giggles, so it's your basic KEY anime. What I really didn't like about the story is that, unlike Clannad, it's never really sure who it wants it's main love interest for Yuuichi to be, they go back and forth, having some die, some get injured, some I don't even know what the hell happened to, but it's not really until the end that we figure out who he really loves the most, and still I wasn't one hundred percent sure about her either. So unlike in Clannad where the other girls are just the supporting cast, it seem KEY was trying to make him have romances with all the girls, which honestly doesn't shock me since this show was originally a hentai game (that's right kids it was porn). Honestly though I am being a little harsh, the story was fine and there were some parts where it did really pull at my heart strings, not enough to make me cry (like Clannad), but pretty damn close and I guess that counts for something. But the last couple of episodes really made me go "wait...what?" Oh also *SPOILERS* they do that thing where at the end they're like "haha jk everything actually fine" which kind of pissed me off (it also kind of pissed me off when they did it in Clannad) *SPOILERS OVER*. Oh a side note the show is a SLOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW boil, like it could only be a slower boil if you stuck a Zippo under a swimming pool (yeah I totally stole that joke but shut up, I'm trying to make a point here).
This was brought to you by, Kyoto, big surprise since they did all of the other KEY works (like Clannad), and yeah it does look quite nice. The girls faces still creep me out just a little, since their eyes are so huge, but the rest of their features are so small, but I've been watching anime long enough to be used to it by now. But yeah other than that looks quite nice.
Ehhhhh, the soundtrack honestly was...not that good, it (again) fits but it's all forgettable, unlike my last reviews where there was maybe one or two tracks that saved it, this one had none like that. In fact during some parts I played music from, no prizes for guessing, the Clannad OST. The op and ed, yeah I couldn't even hum the melody, I just muted it and played a different anime op with the op animation. Now the voice acting on the other hand is VERY GOOD, with actually a lot of the cast being mostly unknown, with the exception of the two guys and Ayu. But it was weird when Yuuichi and Kitagawa had a conversation; because I kept thinking it was Sato and Yamazaki from Welcome to the NHK.
I usually love to talk about the characters, but this time there honestly isn't that much to say. Most of them are stereotypes, you have your cute air head relative, your cute air head mystery girl, your serious mystery girl, your cute air head childhood friend, your cute sick girl and to round it all out the milf...yeah. But really KEY knows how to do stereotypes so actually all of the characters were pretty well done over all, nothing spectacular, but nice. Now the character interaction, HOLY CRAP, it was good, the characters actions weren't super realistic but man did they know how to tug some heart strings, this is of course what KEY animes are the best at.
So yeah pretty good anime, kind of slow even for a drama, but not bad over all. Now the romantic drama question must be asked, is it as good as Clannad, not by a long shot, does that mean it's bad, no but it's not for everyone, if you like Clannad (or Air for that matter) then you will enjoy Kanon, if you didn't like Clannad then just stay away from this one, and for everyone else, give it a try. Never know you might like it, but after you're done go watch Clannad. Also CLANNAD, CLANNAD, CLANNAD, CLANNAD!!!!! Just had to get that out.
I completely agree with your comparisons to Clannad. The romance in Kanon is no where near comparable to the intensity you feel in Clannad. I just finished Kanon feeling unconvinced. >.<
It just makes me want to watch Clannad all over again! lol

Over the past 20 years, Jewish poverty has grown much faster than the Jewish community as a whole. According to the Jewish Community Study of New York: 2011 Special Report on Poverty, nearly half (47%) of all Jewish people living in New York City are considered poor or near-poor. The high cost of Kosher foods also makes it difficult for Jewish families to uphold their traditions with dignity.
Food Bank For New York City is taking steps to meet the increased need across the city's diverse Jewish Community. By partnering with our network of more than 40 Kosher agencies, last year Food Bank distributed approximately 5.1 million Kosher meals. During Hurricane Sandy, Food Bank delivered more than 2 million Kosher meals in affected areas as part of our disaster response and long-term recovery efforts.
Levana Levy shares her gratitude: "I care for my son, who is disabled. We keep Kosher, so being able to get enough Kosher food is very important. I'm glad that Food Bank has a Kosher agency right in my community. I couldn't manage without them."

• One in four New York City Jewish households is considered poor.• Within the Jewish community, seniors living alone are especially vulnerable, with 28% considered poor.• Manhattan saw a 74% increase in the number of poor Jewish households from 2002 to 2011.• In New York City overall, there were twice as many people living in poor Jewish households in 2011 as there were in 1991.
