"Tight in the shoulders"
This fly sheet is everything it says it is. I bought a 78 which is the size my horse wears. It was a bit big on her, which was fine, but it was very, very tight in the shoulders.
"Saxon Softmesh reigns!"
Over 65 years of owning horses, this fly sheet saves me time and money. At $20+ per quart for fly spray I only need to spray legs in the hottest months. Two quarts of spray pay for the Saxon . The belly band does a great job of keeping culicoides and other biting insects off the underside and the tail flap protects the tail area...two out of the three main egg laying areas for this awful biting midge. I love the neck protection of the these sheets as well, which protects the wither where midges lay eggs. Many of my horses are in pasture where the big horse flies, deer flies, and big narleys fly, and my Arabians no longer have round welts from fly abuse. Light weight, and some sheets have lasted 5 years if a horse has not rubbed against shrub or tree! Easy to patch and repair as well, and the repairs hold. A numero uno!!!
"saxon combo fly sheet"
Perfect for our white apaloosa who has pink skin for preventing sunburn and yet keeping him comfortable in the Florida heat. Also for bug control. Love that it dries quickly when it rains.
"Good for Mares, not so much for Geldings"
Originally I bought the Saxon fly sheet to see how destructive my pasture kept horses would be. To my surprise, they didn't bother each other at all. The Saxon is a decently made sheet that I'd recommend to people with mares (the belly part goes WAYYY too far back for geldings if you know what I mean but washes up nicely) and horses that are easy on their blankets. I decided to take the next step up and buy the WB Detach a Neck Sheet and WOW! the difference is totally worth the jump in price.
"Not satisfied "
I was disappointed with this product. I purchased it after reading the reviews about how durable it was and after my horse wore it only 4 times it ripped ! I was very bummed because every fly sheet I owned has ripped I thought I'd get more wear out of this one. I would also never purchase a attached neck it rubbed my horse and caused a sore.
My gelding is really hard on EVERYTHING and this fly sheet is CHEAP and stands up so well! I expected this to last days and then it would be shredded beyond recognition but it made it through summer 2013 and is ready for 2014! I sewed up many little holes and patch it with fabric but my horse is on acreage with panels/barbwire/rocks/branchy trees/ect. so I expect some repairs to be made. Any sewing machine could make repairs on this sheet which is SOOO nice and cuts down on expense since it can be a DIY sort of thing! Will no doubt be replacing mine and possibly even buying more for the other horses. Also sizing is pretty spot on! Love it!
"Saxon Fly Sheet"
Nice product at a great price. I bought 1 for my gelding (who tore his other fly sheet up in 2 days) he wore it a week but was alittle big then put on one of the mares, she has worn it a week out side and it only has 4 small, small snags. I have ordered 3 more and thinking about more. Great sheet!!
"Saxon full neck bellyband flysheet"
LOVE this sheet. Generous cut. Really nice formed/fit neck. Great price, very nice sheet.
"Saxon fly sheet"
Nice product at a good price! I would haven given 5* but the fit is tight around the shoulders. I bought 2 in my horses size 78 and 81 both sheets are a little large. They also tend to shift to the left side of the horse due to the buckles being on the left side I plan on adding weights to the right side to hopefully counter the shifting. Overall I do like the sheets and with a little modification they will fit fine just need to shorten the back up a bit.

Nokia Gets Its Mojo Working
Jan 11, 2013 9:45 AM PT
Nokia posted a banner fourth quarter on Thursday, fueled in large part by brisk sales of the Lumia smartphone. The news was a pleasant surprise to shareholders as the company had forecast a loss as recently as October.
Of the total 86.3 million devices sold, 4.4 million units were from the Lumia line, a significant uptick from the 2.9 million Lumias sold in the third quarter.
Nokia's operating margin for the fourth quarter 2012 was estimated between breakeven and positive 2 percent, compared with the previous outlook of approximately negative 6 percent, plus or minus four percentage points.
Nokia is not expecting a repeat performance for the first quarter of 2013. It warned that seasonality and competition are expected to have a negative impact compared with the previous quarter.
Validating the Turnaround
Still, the fourth quarter's sales are a distinct validation of the company's decision two years ago to retool its approach to market. When Stephen A. Elop took the helm of Nokia back then, it was unclear whether or in what form the company would continue. Elop helped engineer a strategy that jettisoned the Symbian operating system and linked the company's fortunes to Microsoft.
Along with those moves, Nokia undertook a major restructuring program -- an initiative that helped fuel the company's performance this past quarter. One of the reasons for its recent quarterly performance was lower-than-expected operating expenses, partially due to greater-than-expected cost reductions under the restructuring program.
Laying the Groundwork
Nokia's fourth quarter performance -- especially Lumia sales -- was the result of heavy product promotion, Sean Casto, CEO of PreApps, told the E-Commerce Times.
"The Lumia had a nice marketing push in fall of 2012," he said. "When you combine the Lumia's marketing push with Windows' own marketing push, it is not a surprise to see how well the Lumia did."
Nokia doesn't enjoy the prestige that it held in the early-2000s pre-smartphone market, but it is still a top seller in Europe and has major development capacities, Casto pointed out.
Its decision to partner with Microsoft was a smart move, he added. "Since most phone makers have adopted Android as their operating system, it left the Lumia as the chief beneficiary of all of Microsoft's marketing efforts for the Windows Phone and their new Windows 8 operating system."

Dancing With The Stars' dancers Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson have officially tied the knot! The two got married Saturday, April 13th overlooking the ocean at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palo Verdes, California.
The couple said their vows in front of 200 of their friends and family. Johnson, 25, wore a long-sleeved Vera Want gown, meanwhile Chmerkovskiy wore a custom made black velvet tuxedo. Johnson's bridesmaids included her former DWTS partner, olympian Adam Rippon as well as DWTS' Lindsay Arnold and So You Think You Can Dance pro Gabby Diaz. DWTS' Maks Chmerkovskiy of course stood next to his brother as the best man.
According to People, Chmerkovskiy and Johnson read their own vows and "incorporated a few meaningful traditions" that celebrates both of their family cultures.
The wedding guests included DWTS pros: Hayley Erbert, Witney Carson, Emma Slater, Sasha Farber, Mark Ballas, Cheryl Burke, Alan Bersten, Artem Chigvintsev and Brandon Armstrong. Also in attendance were Nikki Bella, Candace Cameron Bure and Alfonso Ribeiro. The celebrity guest list also included Chmerkovskiy and Johnson's former partners Joe Amabile, Normani Kordei, Laurie Hernandez and Ginger Zee.
Chmerkovskiy proposed to Johnson in June 2018 in Venice, Italy. The couple dated on and off starting in 2015. They only first began sharing their relationship publicly in 2017 when they shared a kiss on the season 25 finale of DWTS.

Obama on 'Conservative Judicial Activism'
Speaking to reporters last evening on Air Force One, in the context of his upcoming Supreme Court nomination, President Obama warned of "conservative judicial activism." "In the '60s and '70s, the feeling was, is [sic] that liberals were guilty of that kind of approach," he said. "What you're now seeing, I think, is a conservative jurisprudence that oftentimes makes the same error." That error? "Not showing appropriate deference to the decision of lawmakers," the AP reports.
Really. And which "activist" decisions from the '60s and '70s does this former constitutional law instructor have in mind? Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), where the Court found unconstitutional a state statute criminalizing the sale and use of contraceptives? Loving v. Virginia (1967), the same, concerning inter‐racial marriage?
The list of Court decisions overturning "the will of the people," as reflected by their legislatures, is long; and not all are correct. But viewing those decisions through the lens of "activism" and "restraint" is one of the least useful ways of determining that question. In fact, too often those labels distract us from the real issue, namely, disagreement over the meaning or implications of the constitutional, statutory, or regulatory provisions before the Court.
Obama's objective, however, is hardly disguised. He fears that a "conservative" Court will be "active" in finding constitutional constraints on his agenda. We saw that in his reaction to the Court's decision in January throwing out parts of the McCain‐Feingold campaign finance law. And with more than 20 states now challenging ObamaCare, he'd like to have a Court "showing appropriate deference" to Congress.
On Monday the White House Office of Public Engagement invited me and three others over for an "off‐the‐record" discussion on the upcoming nomination. After making clear that my comments, at least, would not be off the record, I noted the obvious, that the president's nominee would likely be in a tough spot during the Senate confirmation hearings, because one of the central questions he or she will have to address is whether, in light of ObamaCare, there are any longer any limits on the power of Congress to regulate. After all, if Congress can now order individuals to buy a product from a private company, what can't it order?
In his comments last evening, Obama said judges should be deferential "as long as core constitutional values are observed." Is there any constitutional value more fundamental than limited government, designed to secure individual liberty? The Constitution authorizes courts to actively secure that value, failing which their deference amounts to dereliction of duty.

Worth the Wait (Southern Love #2)
by Synithia Williams
When a virgin frustrated by her nonexistent dating life asks a playboy for a one-night stand, can they really ignore their attraction after the affair?
After Tasha Smith is dumped yet again because of her virginity, she decides it's time to stop saving herself for marriage and start dating like women in the twenty-first century. She sets out to find a man rumored to be good enough in bed to relieve her of the nuisance, but discreet enough to keep her request a secret.
Jared Patterson seems like the perfect candidate. Yet after one searing kiss, she wonders if she'll escape a night with him unscathed. Jared's job as a successful fitness instructor and entrepreneur has helped him keep a string of meaningless relationships from the east to the west coast. After learning the hard way that women can't be trusted, he has no qualms going from one sex-only relationship to the next. Although Tasha is one of the few types of women he avoids - a good girl - the man in him can't turn down her tempting offer.
What starts out as a onetime thing quickly turns into an affair neither want to stop. But when an unexpected situation drastically alters their relationship, it leaves them both asking if it was Worth the Wait.
This is a new release of a previously published edition.

For the last three years, state Sen. Nancy Detert has proposed a bill banning texting while driving.
And each year the Venice Republican has watched the bill die.
But Detert will try again next spring. She and Rep. Doug Holder, R-Osprey, have filed identical bills to ban texting while driving.
"This year, it's passing," Detert said resolutely.
She said the bill's biggest critics in the Senate last year are gone and she sees a real chance of getting the bill through in the 2013 legislative session.
Under Detert's bill, texting while driving would be a non-moving violation and considered a secondary offense. In other words, police will not be able to pull over a driver just for texting. Drivers could only be ticketed if they were also stopped for a primary offense such as speeding or reckless driving.
There are also exemptions to allow people to use phones to check navigational maps, using voice-command programs or listen to the radio through their phone.
Thirty-nine other states already have laws against texting while driving.
Holder said it's time for Florida to join them.
Some people worry about an infringement on personal liberties, but Holder said the number of people dying in car crashes due to texting deserves action.
"We need people to see the urgency and build some momentum," Holder said.
Democratic chair
seeks re-election
Sarasota Democratic Party chairwoman Rita Ferrandino will seek a new two-year term as party leader.
Ferrandino announced in a letter to area Democrats last week that she wants to help Democrats win the governor's mansion in 2014.
"We simply must fire Rick Scott and I'd like to do everything in my power to make sure he does not get re-elected," said Ferrandino, who has led the party since 2007.
Sarasota County Democrats meet at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at the Waldemere Fire Station in Sarasota to select their leader for the next two years. Ferrandino is the only announced candidate so far.
Manatee County Democrats last week voted to make Patty Benson the party's new chairwoman there.
Gruters also up
Ferrandino's counterpart in the Sarasota Republican Party, Joe Gruters, is likely to win re-election for another two years in office tonight.
Gruters is the only announced candidate for the position. He has been GOP chairman since 2008.
The Sarasota GOP meets at 7 p.m. tonight at the Gold Coast Eagle Distributors, 7051 Wireless Court, Lakewood Ranch.
Detert will seek re-election
Expect Detert this week to clear up any speculation over whether she will run again for the Senate in 2014.
Detert, 68, said she will file her re-election campaign papers for 2014 this week to make certain everyone knows she intends to hold onto her seat.
Detert won re-election this year, but will only get a two-year term because of redistricting and the need to stagger terms for senators. If Detert wins District 28 in 2014, she would receive a four-year term.
Detert's decision likely will put to rest political jockeying for her state Senate seat. If Detert did not seek re-election, Holder, state Rep. Ray Pilon, R-Sarasota, former state Sen. Pat Neal and others were considered potential candidates for the only Senate seat in Sarasota County.
Area political events
Today: The five state legislators who represent Sarasota County in the Florida Legislature meet to hear about community issues and priorities in advance of the 2013 Legislative session. The legislators meet from 8 a.m. to noon at the Sarasota County Commission Chambers, 1660 Ringling Blvd., Sarasota.
Tuesday: University of South Florida political science professor Susan MacManus speaks to the Longboat Key Democratic Club about the 2012 election results. The event begins at noon at the Longboat Key Club and Resort's Harbourside Dining Room. Cost is $25. For additional questions, call 362-0590.
Detert resumes texting crusade
For the last three years, state Sen. Nancy Detert has proposed a bill banning texting while driving.

There's a solid argument to be made that this is the best "Spider-Man" movie we've gotten yet.
I'm not sure that I'm going to be the guy to make it… but it's immediately obvious to me that the potential is there. I can totally see it.
Spider-Man of the "Amazing" variety has a more serious tone, a great cast, and some fantastic fight scenes. It's a first-rate summer blockbuster, a top-notch superhero movie, and well worth your ticket dollars and a trip to the theatre.

State-appointed special master says city's schools are in peril
New London - The city's schools cannot survive another year with a flat-funded budget, the state-appointed special master told the school board Thursday night as members met to consider eliminating dozens of positions to balance its budget.
"You can be the board that shuts the lights out, or the board that turns things around,'' Steven Adamowski told five of the seven school board members at a budget workshop to address a $3.8 million gap in the 2012-13 budget.
Adamowski, who was assigned by the state in June to oversee the district, said it is up to the Board of Education to work with the community, the mayor and the City Council to get support for the city's 3,000 public school students.
The City Council, for the fifth year in a row, flat-funded the school district's $39.8 million budget. Adamowski said another year with no increase in spending will mean the school district will either close or be taken out of local control.
"I want to impress upon you the seriousness of this budget,'' Adamowski said. "New London now has the shameful distinction of holding the state record for number of years without an increase in public school spending.''
Bridgeport went four years with no budget increase, he said.
"This is not sustainable for a sixth year,'' he added.
Superintendent Nicholas A. Fischer presented the board with a plan to close the $3.8 million gap, mostly brought about by increases in contractual obligations and no increase in local funding.
The school board took no action Thursday and will vote on the reconfigured budget at its Aug. 23 meeting.
Fischer's proposed savings include staffing cuts of nearly $3 million; closing portable classrooms to save $576,000; and cutting the supply budget by $99,000. Insurance savings will be nearly $84,000 and other cuts would save about $87,000.
Each of the district's six schools, as well as the central office, resubmitted their spending plans with 8 percent cuts. The result was the proposed elimination of three administrators, 23.2 teaching positions, eight education assistants, seven teaching aides, four secretaries and one custodian.
In April, the central office announced that 68 nontenured teachers had been sent layoff notices due to budget constraints. All 68 were reinstated in July, but Fischer said Thursday that most already had left for other jobs.
Under the new plan, the central office also would be reorganized. Three positions would be cut, others reconfigured and two new positions created. A new director of student services would oversee English Language Learners, English as a Second Language, special education, and gifted and talented students. A new director of talent and human resources would focus on ensuring compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as personnel issues such as hiring, training and recruiting staff to reflect the city's diversity.
"You have to rebuild your staff and develop the staff you have,'' Adamowski said, adding that he approved reallocating funds for the two new positions.
No additional money will be needed for the positions, Fischer said.
The board will be asked to review and approve the two new job descriptions at its next meeting.
Fischer also outlined how the estimated $808,000 in state Alliance District funds would be spent: $428,000 at Jennings and Winthrop schools to help close the achievement gap; $50,000 for leadership and accountability; $110,000 for effective instruction; $20,000 for strategies for recruiting and retaining talent; $80,000 for high expectations; and $120,000 for additional learning time.
Assistant Superintendent Katherine Ericson said the extra learning time would mean students at Winthrop and Jennings schools would have more time in the classroom.

Now, I don't think it's a far cry to say that Buffy has a strong following in the queer community. The messages of empowerment, overcoming oppression, and accepting one's full self all resonate deeply with the experience of queer kids. On top of that Buffy was a pioneer in inclusion of openly queer characters with Willow, Tara, Andrew, and Kennedy (and eventually Buffy herself in the comics). Now, with the help of the ever amazing and frequent Whedon-collaborator Jane Esponson (credits include Buffy, Battlestar Galactica, Torchwood, and Husbands), the very first gay male slayer is being introduced to the buffyverse.
Now, being a gay male fan of the series myself, I can say that I've long fantasized about a gay male inclusion to the slayer heritage (I'm also a loud proponent of male inclusion amongst the Star Sapphires, but that's another post). I even ran my a Buffy RPG which resulted in Male slayers (although that storyline revolved around disgruntled former watchers siphoning off Slayer magic, but WHATEVER...). Esponson talks about how the writing staff on Buffy actively considered introducing gay male characters to the show, but many of these ideas never quite made it to fruition.
Check out the full interview with Esponson at Out.com. I've also pasted preview images of the issue, Buffy Season 9 #14 which is scheduled to hit stores on October 10, 2012.

EL PASO, Texas (AP) Dylan Talley led all scorers with 21 points, David Rivers added 20 and Nebraska defeated Central Michigan 89-75 in the first game of the WestStar Bank Don Haskins Sun Bowl Invitational on Saturday night.
Nebraska (7-3) opened up the game with a 10-0 run, forcing Central Michigan to take a time out in an attempt to try and slow down the Huskers. It worked for a few minutes until Nebraska, which led by as many as 19 in the first half, went on an 18-2 run to put the game out of reach for the Chippewas.
The Huskers shot 63 percent from the field and made 7 of 11 from beyond the arc in the first half. Nebraska finished the game by making 32 of 56 from the field and had nine 3-pointers.
Kyle Randall finished the game with 27 points and John Simons finished with 14 for Central Michigan (6-4).

David Lipten: Best Served Cold
Produkt anteckningar
David Lipten's music has been described as possessing 'a strength and integrity...along with a deep [and]...rigorous musical lyricism.' His compositions have been performed by some of the most accomplished chamber ensembles, including the New York New Music Ensemble and the Chester Quartet, among others. Recent performances of his music have included a number of his piano works Best Served Cold, Snap and Ever Since, three of Time's Dream for chorus, as well as one of Ictus for string quartet at the Portland Chamber Music Festival where it was awarded first prize in 3rd Annual Composers Competition. David has received a number of commissions including those from the Fromm Music Foundation at Harvard University, the Verdehr Trio/Michigan State University and Duo46; awards, fellowships and grants from the St. Paul's Chamber Music Competition, ASCAP, the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM), the State of Florida and Duke University, also among others. He has also been in residence at the MacDowell and Yaddo colonies, as well as the Aspen Music Festival, the Oregon Bach Festival, the CSU Summer Arts Festival and the June in Buffalo Composers Conference. David holds a B.A. in Piano Performance from Hampshire College, a M.A. in Music Composition from the Aaron Copland School of Music at the City University of New York/Queens College and a Ph.D. in Music Composition from Duke University. He currently lives and works in Florida with his wife, Holly, and daughter, Olivia. Ictus (2000-2001)-for string quartet The sense and form of Ictus depend on the ways previously established material is altered, either through changes of speed and/or the ways in which the music is accented (similar to the ways in which different syllables are stressed in poetry-or it's Ictus) and how it's colored by using a wide variety of bowings and/or articulations. The Fromm Music Foundation at Harvard University commissioned the quartet in 1999-2000. It was premiered in September of 2001 by the Chester Quartet and performed by them on two other occasions. The Perugino Quartet also played the piece in 2005. Sunghae Anna Lim and Joan Kwoun (vlns.), Maria Lambros (vla.) and Andrew Mark (vc.) performed Ictus in Maine at the Portland Chamber Music Festival. Show of Hands-for piano 1. Best Served Cold (2003) I wrote Best Served Cold while in residence at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, NH in 2003. It was the dead of winter and magnificently serene for much of the time. Nothing about the character of this short, sometimes violent piece, then, can be attributed to my surroundings. My time at the colony also happened to coincide with the build-up to the mess in Iraq. I spent some of my downtime listening to the fabrications presented to the United Nations by a certain former Secretary of State for what turned out to be some of the pretense for the situation. We all knew what was coming. I was outraged. The title is borrowed from 'Les Liasons Dangereuses' (1782) by Pierre Ambroise Francois Choderios de LaClos. However, my original acquaintance with it came from either Mr. Worf, a Klingon character in Star Trek, or from Montgomery Burns, Homer Simpson's evil boss; I'm not sure which. This piece was commissioned by Christopher Adler and premiered by him in October 2003. 2. Ever Since (2004) Ever Since is the second work in a series of short character pieces I began writing for piano in the winter of 2003. The first (Best Served Cold) is quite fiery, so I wanted to write something more introspective as a contrast. It's impromptu nature is attributable to improvising much of the initial ideas for it at the piano. 3. Snap (2005) The title refers to the rather break-neck pace at which the music is intended to proceed. The tempo marking calls for it to be played at a speed which is 'as fast as humanly possible.' The piece primarily features quick, repeated single notes connected by short, jagged bursts or runs leading to passages of climactic chords. These solo piano pieces started life as separate works to fulfill three different commissions. I realized that they would work well together as one piece following a fairly conventional 3-part format (fast-slow-fast). So the three works became one (though the individual 'movements' have retained their original titles and may still be performed individually). The music (especially in mvts. 1 and 3) owes much to the compositions of György Ligeti and David Rakowski, both of whom have written prodigious volumes of piano etudes. Whorl (2002)-for Bb clarinet, violin and piano When I began to write Whorl (originally commissioned by the Verdehr Trio and Michigan State University) I had recently finished working on my string quartet, Ictus. One of the most inviting sounds a quartet makes comes from the ability of all four instruments to sound like one. I had a hard time getting that sound world out of my ears. The heterogeneous sound made by a group consisting of a clarinet, violin and piano, then, posed a number of interesting challenges. One of my solutions was to use a technique called 'hocket,' whereby one musical line or thought is broken up and shared among the different instruments. In Whorl, a line of music is often begun by one of the instruments, perhaps accompanied by another, and is then taken over and completed by the third. It is like a family discussion in which each member is talking at once with the participants finishing each others sentences. Time's Dream (2003)-for chorus, texts by E.E. Cummings Time's Dream is a group of six songs with settings of poetry by E.E. Cummings. The University of San Diego Choral Scholars premiered them in December of 2003. The title is taken from Cummings' poem 'Now Air Is Air And Thing Is Thing; No Bliss.' The texts were chosen largely because of the way Cummings plays with the idea of time in all of his writings, whether through interjecting thoughts in parentheses or by breaking up words/lines and interspersing these with other thoughts or sentiments before returning to the original trains of thought. Cummings' style, then, bears a striking similarity to music where comprehensibility depends on the unfolding of ideas/sounds in time, whether these are to be interpreted linearly or not. Gyre (1996-97)-for flute (alto flute, piccolo), Bb clarinet (bass clarinet), violin, cello, piano and percussion The music in Gyre is characterized by whirling contrast. I combine the instruments in as many ways as possible while trying to highlight their individual characteristics. I also exploit cooperation among various instrumental combinations depending upon the changes in the musical situation. The construction of the piece loosely resembles Ritornello form with a number of periodic returns to thematic material separated by contrasting episodes. This compositional game plan was used in the earliest forms of the Concerto and was suggested to me by Jacob Druckman's Come Round. By treating this form as an abstract model and by allowing myself to take liberties with it, I am able to create a higher degree of formal contrast than would otherwise be possible. By referring both to this historically established model and to a genre like the Concerto, I hope to forge a connection with a listener's experiences and expectations. The new title (originally Stunt Double) came to me by way of an old friend, Karen Gold (via Facebook!), and is borrowed from a William Butler Yeats poem, The Second Coming, which states, in part: Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; ... Gyre was recorded in 1998 at California State University, Long Beach and is courtesy of CSU Summer Arts.

Imagine working in dusty fields, day after day, doing the sort of backbreaking work that wears a body down. You have trouble speaking English, and your living situation leaves something to be desired. Now imagine that not only are you dealing with a nagging sore on your hand that won't heal, but your child has a cold that won't go away. With no insurance or healthcare provider to speak of, your options seem limited.
Enter the Family Farm Worker Health Program, a two-week intensive immersion learning experience that provides healthcare to migrant and seasonal farm workers and their families in South Georgia each year. You now have hope.
Students from schools across the state of Georgia participate, including Emory University's Nell Hodgson School of Nursing. The initiative, now in its 18th year, treated approximately 600 individuals during their June 12 – 24 mission trip this year.
MedShare is proud to support this program by providing medical supplies to Emory's team through our Medical Mission Team Store. For a small donation, individuals can collect much-needed medical supplies for their mission trips; available supplies include sutures, gowns, gloves, gauze, and much more. In MedShare's 13-year history, we've supported over 2,100 such teams.
Carrie White, an Emory University nursing student who participated in this year's Familiy Farm Worker Health Program, kindly sent us her account of the trip:
"Two weeks down South have come and gone. It is hard to imagine that in two weeks time, we saw around 250 kids and 350 adults. Approximately 600 individuals received medical attention that otherwise wouldn't have through the Family Migrant Farm Worker Program in Moultrie, GA. The Migrant Farm Worker Program, coordinated through Emory's School of Nursing, would not be possible without the generous donations from our partners like MedShare.
Basic supplies such as lancets, clean needles, gauze and alcohol pads are something we take for granted in the hospital setting. In the community setting, on the other hand, resources are often scarce. With MedShare's donations of medical supplies through their Medical Mission Team Store program, we were able to provide our patients in the migrant fields with basic health screenings such as testing their blood sugar and iron levels. We were able to assess their blood pressure, height and weight, and provide health promotion activities. Primary care for pertinent health issues among the migrant workers were treated more easily thanks to MedShare.
To see health disparities that are associated with living in a third-world country just hours from Atlanta, GA is something I feel one can never really prepare for. In fact, I believe nothing can truly prepare you for the world you step in the moment you drive down those dirt roads, or hold the hand of a small child who came with their migrant worker family. The experiences and education we gained during our two weeks in Moultrie, GA is an invaluable adjunct to any classroom setting that discusses community health.
The undergraduate nursing students who went to Moultrie, GA this summer were truly humbled by the experience. We were also amazed at the amount of medical supplies wasted by hospitals in the Atlanta area. We were so happy to put these supplies to good use in South Georgia, and we thank you MedShare for their continued support in our education and experiential training. It is through these interactions and opportunities, that we learn the true value of nursing and serving the needs of others in the humblest of settings."

Medicare resources
Changes to Medicare through the health care law
The Affordable Care Act made significant changes to the Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D) program. Starting in 2010, more Medicare beneficiaries qualified for the Extra Help program with their Medicare prescription drug plan costs. Medicare beneficiaries who cannot afford their medications for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis may see considerable savings with Extra Help. If you applied for Extra Help in the past and didn't qualify, you might qualify now. See if you qualify and apply online or call Social Security at 800.772.1213.
Medicare now covers certain preventive services, like mammograms or colonoscopies, without charging you for the Part B coinsurance or deductible
If you're in the donut hole, you'll also get a 50% discount when buying Part D-covered brand-name prescription drugs. The discount is applied automatically at the counter of your pharmacy. The donut hole will be closed completely by 2020.

Medicare for people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis
Medicare is a government funded health insurance program for people who have reached the age of 65, or who have become disabled. The official U.S. government site for people with Medicare provides information about the program and tools for comparing prescription drug plans, hospitals, home health agencies and more, or you can call 1.800.MEDICARE (1.800.633.4227).
- You have the right to appeal any decision about your Medicare services.
A Medigap policy is health insurance sold by private insurance companies to fill the "gaps" in Original Medicare Plan coverage. Medigap policies help pay some of the health care costs that the Original Medicare Plan doesn't cover.
Some Medicare beneficiaries are eligible for Extra Help (800.772.1213) to pay for the costs—monthly premiums, annual deductibles, and prescription co-payments—related to a Medicare prescription drug plan.
Each state has a State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) which educates and assists Medicare beneficiaries, those eligible for Medicare, and caregivers in regard to Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap insurance, prescription drug benefits, and other issues related to health insurance benefits. Contact information for your state's SHIP can also be found by calling the Health Assistance Partnership at 202.737.6340.
The Medicare Rights Center (1.800.333.4114) helps answer questions about Medicare, and has caseworkers that can help people with a specific problem they are having with Medicare, including how to reduce premium and prescription drug costs, and how to appeal a denial by an HMO or a Part D plan.
Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage)
If you have Medicare Part D, you may experience a gap in coverage (the donut hole) when your out-of-pocket costs reach a certain amount. To help with financial costs:
- Apply for Extra Help from the Social Security Administration or call 800.772.1213.
- First, contact the manufacturer of your medication. if your income is very low, you may qualify for assistance from the company. Even if it cannot help you financially, it may be able to assist you in other ways and direct you to the quickest source of financial help.
- If you have already contacted the manufacturer, apply for grants from patient assistance foundations.
- Use the Medicare Formulary Finder to compare plans.
- Check this list of tips on how to lower your drug costs on Medicare's official website

As there isn't an existing open thread, and given this is the next fantasy release, I thought it prudent to open a thread based upon the expansion and it's corresponding releases, apologies if this is somewhat pre-emptive.
We know from the gw website and the previous thread that we are expecting at least two new monsters, awesomely powerful spells, and new terrain. Given we are now rather close to release, I wonder if now we can discuss fresh rumours pertaining to the nature of these.
Here's a summary of the contents of this thread thus far. When something is confirmed by someone like Hastings, Harry, Frgt10, Bram et al I will turn it bold.
Jim kicked things off telling us

A few months ago some of the bigger GW retail shops had an event where they had "Legendary Formations" things such as having 50+ black orcs in 1 unit gave them some additional ability...etc.
I have never seen that before for WFB, ever.
Can we now assume that was a stealth preview for SoM?

I heard there was a new Everqueen model coming with SoM, possibly riding some kind of beastie. I've had another source confirm there is an Everqueen sculpt ready but was unsure if it is going to be released with SOM
Orcboy_Phil wrote (though there is some fear the staffer heard this from on here)
Bucket of salt time, but according to a local blue shirt there are going to be a ton of monsters realeased with this. I heard something on the lines of pretty much one for each army as well as missing beastmen ones (of course these could just be rerelases of existing monsters in finecast rather than total new sculpts). I heard that that resident monster expert (Trish???) had been working on monsters for the last 2 years for this release. Once again it could just be there spec and take it with a large bucket of salt.
Sinzaren wrote
From what I've picked up here and there it is going to be pretty similar in some ways to apocalypse. There will be big monsters which could be used for most armies, there will also be formations i.e. a Nuln cannon battery, Flight of Elven Dragons etc. which get extra bonuses just like Apoc, with extra cost for the formation. I also heard but am not too sure about Wizards being able to group together and cast bigger spells (which will come in the rules) a sort of sorcerers coven casting maga-magic.
shabbadoo wrote
Here is a tidbit I heard, and don't know if it has been posted anywhere yet or not:
GW will be releasing small boxed sets of individual plastic models. The allusion was that these will cover a variety of models(mostly focusing on Lords/Heroes of course), and this may very include releases for Storm of Magic; namely wizards/mages/sorcerers/whatevers. The info is more than a bit vague, but it sounds like the models will be simple enough that all of the pieces for them fit on a single small sprue frame, and as such they will be very similar to the Lords/Heroes in the WFB Starter Set. These may have a few more pieces, and so have a slightly greater degree of detail, range of motion, or even a few options(I can only guess as to this last bit). See the WFB starter set Skaven and High Elf Lords/Heroes for examples of what the minimum will be.
This will be a simple and very efficient way for GW to put quite few plastic Lords/Heroes rather quickly(i.e. they can fit 6-8 of these small sprues on a single large sprue tree and inject them all in one go), and I don't think it would be much of a stretch to assume that they will be doing the same for 40K HQs too.
I guess we'll see if anybody can corroborate this now.

Evening chaps, I was in a GW store last week.....a place recently promoted to the championship and supposedly "POSH", and i was going to buy myself a Elvish dragon, after talking to the boot-camped black shirt, he gave me a sly wink and said " Why not wait a while, i know if i wanted one, which i do, i might wait and see what is on the horizen"...
with that , he gave me another wink....i just hope he was not making a play for me...anyways, are there any rumours about the release of a plastic dragon, i know with the Fantocalypse realease we might expect a new kit or two, anyone else heard about this ?
Asensur pointed out a rumoured reference to the storm of magic within the FW chaos dwarves list
The chaos dwarfs' sorcerer lord can mount a Lamassu, and the book says to search for Lamassu rules in Storm of Magic specifically.
There are also two teaser images of miniatures on the GW website

I have it on decent authority there will be a Ghorgon at least.
HASTINGS agreed, but not for this release. There is indeed a cygor/gorgon kit coming, but not afaik for storm of magic. He added it isn't too far away either!
undeadgoblin helpfully summarised the old thread
If you can't log in, the article is about the new magic expansion for WFB, coming out this july.
Incoming: Storm of Magic
Storm of Magic - when the eight winds howl...
The Winds of Magic are tumultuous. Drawn by Morrslieb, they are prone to rise from a strong gale into a howling tempest. And when they do no kingdom or realm is safe.
Monsters awaken from their slumber and are summoned from their lairs at the bidding of sorcerous masters. Armies assemble, ready to defend their borders or seize the opportunity to gain limitless power. It is in these desperate times tenuous pacts between wizards and creatures of darkness are sealed to create alliances never thought possible.
A time of doom and great deeds is at hand. Will you rise to meet the storm?
Announcing the impending arrival of Storm of Magic, the latest and largest Expansion for Warhammer, the Game of Fantasy Battles. Launched in July 2011, Storm of Magic describes what happens when great eldritch maelstroms roil across the lands. Magic becomes far more powerful and there is a whole range of Cataclysm spells to cast, unleashing untold devastation on the enemy. Arcane Fulcrums burst from the ground, not only acting as loci for the swirling energies that pervade a battle fought amidst the Storm of Magic, but changing the way a Warhammer tabletop looks and interacts with your armies. With such things so crucial to your Storm of Magic games a new range of Warhammer scenery and Wizards will soon be released in time for you to wage cataclysmic battles.
Then there are the monsters. When the Winds of Magic blow with such strength, the fell creatures of the world gravitate towards the tempest, slithering from deep tunnels or emerging from mountain lairs.
With the new Expansion allowing you to use so many different creatures there are a whole host of new monstrous plastic kits on their way. Citadel's queen of creatures, Trish Morrison, has spent the last few years in her own lair preparing for the new monsters to be unleashed upon the world and you can see two brief glimpses of what is to come below:
July is still a few months away; we are in the calm before the storm so now is the time to prepare. Bolster your forces, prepare your regiments and summon your wizards in time for the ultimate war. Keep checking White Dwarf and the website for updates, for when the storm hits nowhere will be safe!
Ps. A most humble thank you to Darnok for the edit!

In addition, he wrote
evidently the part where I said 'new' beastie went over everyones heads...
He added more detail in the Vampire thread, adding - there are some vc monsters coming for SoC
something old and something new...
Hastings wrote in the Vamp thread -
there is indeed a new de sorceress

I heard someting about armies that not anyone can imagine in SoM.
I can imagine a fair bit.
This I have heard .... and have been banging on about "some old friends" on every new army thread that appears for months now.
Not long to wait now.
All we be revealed.
Can't believe no one picked up on the chicken stuff from the first thread
El Antiguo Guardián wrote in the Vampire army thread started by
Well, i´m going to start with some one´s.
There are new miniatures for Necromances (not sure), and a flying monster (undead one), possibly an Abbysal TERROR (WELL, IT´S AN ABBYSAL TERROR!) But i don´t know if it have a rider.

I have heard about the DE Lady Hastings has mentioned, the Necromancer El A G has mentioned and a couple of god specific Chaos sorcerers some Empire wizards, I think we are getting quite a few magic user types one way and another ... and a Lord or two maybe not something for everyone as was rumoured and I have not heard about Nagash or the Everqueen ... but a nice selection.
However I have not heard details for as many models as I have been told are coming ..... But I am wondering if (given the recent Fine Carsed release) a number of the wizards will be discontinued metal being Fine Carsed up rather than all new sculpts we have not seen before.
Still I am mostly excited about a big fat juicy book.I am sure it will get me modeling and painting all kinds of magical, monstery goodness.
In reply to this (specifically about wizards being finecasted), Hastings wrote
Yes............. AFAIK (and maybe not just wizards!)
Hastings later wrote in reply to Ender Shadowkin mentioning Fenbeasts
To help things along pretty much if it's a creature if some sort it's in the SoM book (though not necessarily getting a "new" mini)

Plastic kits, as I have heard it. The manticore and dragons come with multiple rider options. Awesome.

I just want to point out to any that have misunderstood, there aren't any large VC specific releases for SoM, these are later this year as part of a wave of VC minis. There's also a wave of Beastman minis, and then of course Oct-OGRE not a bad year for Fantasy IMO.
Oh and the dark coloured face from the teaser that people are saying is the black dragon or the abyssal terror I think you'll find is simply one of the Chimera heads (check out the tusk things coming out from the corners of the mouth - now look at the orangey type lion(ish) head it has them too - hint )

yes black box come next tuesday so pre order will come 1 day later
black boxes no longer exist. June was the last one (from what i was told)
Harry wrote in reply to a post by Erazmus_M_Wattle
I am not talking about individuals. I have talked about old friends every time a 'new race', 'new army' has been mentioned because I am expecting some old races, old monsters to return. Not as a new army but as some sort of allied contingent option. Anyone who played 2nd or 3rd edition will know what I am talking about. It makes perfect sense if you are talking about 'Apocalypse' size 'uge battles as well as mates can slap their combine armies of Dwarves , Elves and men on the table (bollox to the points) and have at the bad guys.
Folks who are trying to guess which specific friends I am talking about are really missing the point.
I am talking about the return of lots of old friends. Think of it as a Warhammer reunion.

Oh, now that everybody posts, I might as well spill my guts.. I intended to wait another week, but ah, swell...
Storm of Magic will be a full-colour hardcover book, about half the thikness of the Core Rulebook, and at the price of, well, apoximatly one Leman Russ Battletank.
It's due for release the second saturday of July. Previews start the saturday befor.
There will be a multitude of kits and gimmicks to acompany them.
Plastic Boxed Sets are:
Chaos Lord on Manticore
Dark Elven Lord on Black Dragon
Both Kits are the same price as a similar High Elven Ridden Monster.
The saddle, Rider and (in case of the Dragon) the armour are completly optional.
There is also a Kit labeled
and one labeled
which are the same price as a 10 man Space Marines Squad.
There are also some Clampack releases:
Chaos Supreme Sorcerer
Supreme Sorcerer of Tzeentch
Vampirecounts Necromancer
Dark Elven High Sorceress
I don't know what these are made of. Since they are clampacked I guessed Finecast, but the price of, ah, well, lets say it in GBP: It's a one-digit-point-something Price lable.
Quiet affordable if it was finecast, but since hasitings said plastic sorceres... well... do the math.
Of course there is a whole bunch of playthings and gimmics aswell, like Vortex Templates (Like the Dark Eldar Wayportal template, only bigger), Dice, Battle Magic Cards (which apearently come in a cool box of sime Lost Arc style... with skulls of course...) and Focus Points (4 different ones).
Which brings us to rules.
Storm of Magic is for any Warhammer Fantasy Battle Army. It supports you with a alternative of Deployment, Magic and Army composition rules.
Game mechanics
While you place terrain, you deploy Magil Focus points. Think of these as landmarks inhibited with strong magics, like towers, magical stairs, Columns of Fire, or what ever. Each army starts with a designated number of Focus points, it depends of the scale of the game. 1 per army per 1000 points is, what I was told, suggested in the book.
You may place 1 Wizard including a mount on top of the Focus point, and one guarding unit within a limited space - enough to place about 30 standard base-sized miniatures, I was told. The rest of your army is deployed as usual.
The game is all about dominating these points, which grant great boni to your wizard while he stands atop of them. The Magic Phase is strongly buffed with 4D6 Power dice. In addition, you determine the ascending wind of magic at the beginning of each magic phase. (It's done randomly by some sort of tool, don't ask me what it is, I don't know, but apperantly it's not a dice.) Army book Lores are associated with Army book rules, for example if the Lore of Light is the Ascendand Lore this turn, High Magic is Ascended aswell (I don't know if High Lore is really associated with Lore of Light - it's simply a example of my understanding of the mechanics).
The Ascended magic gains a +4 bonus on attempts to cast their spells. You cannot change the Ascendend in any way, though it's determined new in every magic phase.
There is also a bunch of new spells which appearently give you the possibility not only to summon Monsters loke the Cockatrice, but also whole units from other armies. I personally didn't by this one. It was a long evening with a LOT of beer.
Bram later wrote
No clue. As far as I know there are Spells only accesable via items or controlling a focus point. The Rulebook Lores remain untouched, though they might get boosted...
Hastings wrote in reply to Brams bumper post
Plastic MOUNTED sorceress, the foot one is finecast
A mastercrafterd post good sir, with only to my knowledge 2 exclusions....
1. Arcane fulcrum scenery piece (a ruined floor with a magical vortex - of plastic - swirling upwards which you can place your wizard on top of.
2. The "garden of morr" scenery piece, basically a new fantasy graveyard - although I'm not 100% sure that this won't be held back until the VC wave later in the year.
Bram later wrote in reply to another poster mentioning the rumour of the Graveyard
Ah, no. At least not for the initial wave... Or it's not a designated SoM release. It's not in my books anyway. There is no scenery at all, since I count the focus points as needed. while scenery is optional. There are four different Focus points, though, maybe you meant them. One's a throne, one's a gate, one's a stairway and ones a... magic-thingy-column. They come two for a space marine tac squad.
Bram wrote in reply to Poncho
It's like Apocalypse. In many ways.
In reply to Tuatha Dar
The sets are labeled Chaos Lord on Manticore, and Dark Elf Highborn on Black Dragon. I don't think there are additional riders. It might be possible that the other Sorcerers to be released are compatible with the kits, though.
Thats your lot for now, I'd expect more news to reveal itself when the june wave of tomb kings goes on sale.
Edit 9/6/11
We have a LOT of news, thanks guys.
