Lon Lon Ranch is a small farm that appears in several Zelda games. The ranch belongs to Malon and her father, Talon, and is most famous for selling nutritious Lon Lon Milk.[1][2][3]
Contents |
Appearances and Features
Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, Lon Lon Ranch is the home to Talon, Malon, Ingo, and Epona. It is located in the center of Hyrule and is owned by Talon.[4] It is a small farm, with one house area and a barn to keep horses and cows safe. It also has a paddock that can exercise the horses daily. The ranch raises Cuccos, horses, and cows. They make a profit by selling off the famous Lon Lon Milk that the cows make to the people of Hyrule. An Empty Bottle can be won here as young Link from Talon after winning the Super Cucco Game.
When Link first visits the ranch as a child, Malon introduces him to Epona, a young horse.[5] The farm girl goes on to teach Link "Epona's Song", and Link can play this melody to beckon Epona to him, but he cannot yet ride the horse. Seven years later, Link returns to the ranch to find that it has been taken over by Ingo with the help of Ganondorf and has been renamed to Ingo Ranch. As a result, Talon was kicked out of the ranch, and Malon is forced to obey Ingo's orders or else the horses will be mistreated.[6][7][8]
For a fee of 10 Rupees, Link can ride the horses in the ranch, and for an additional fee of 50 rupees, he can race Ingo for the chance to keep the horse (namely, Epona, as she is the fastest).[9][10] After losing, he will challenge Link again, this time wagering Epona.[11] Upon being defeated yet again, he keeps his promises and hands over Epona to Link; however, he closes the gates of the ranch, prohibiting the young hero from ever leaving the ranch.[12] Link easily jumps over the gate by using Epona, and when he returns to the ranch, he finds that it has returned to its normal state. After losing the horse he had set aside for Ganondorf, Ingo turns the ranch over to Malon, and becomes a much happier and much more humble person after the experience.[13][14] Malon also informs Link that her father will be returning to the ranch soon, and thanks Link for all that he has done.[15]
Link can speak to Malon to take part in a small obstacle course and test his skills by using Epona. The goal is to complete two laps around the racetrack in the fastest time possible while jumping the set fences without missing one. If Link beats the obstacle course record, Malon will reward him by delivering a cow to his house in Kokiri Forest.
Four Swords Adventures
In Four Swords Adventures, Lon Lon Ranch can be found in Near the Fields' The Field. Upon arriving to the field, Link encounters a girl named Malon standing all alone. She tells the young traveler that she was running errands, but just as she was about to head back to her home, it started raining; furthermore, the castle guards were moving all the cannons and even aimed their bows at her.[16][17] Helpless, she asks the four Links if she can accompany them until she gets back to Lon Lon Ranch with her father, Talon.[18] Unlike Ocarina of Time, the ranch has no cows or horses to be seen, and there are no buildings except for the house in which the two farm owners live.
As thanks for saving his daughter, Talon allows Link to use his horse to make his journey through the fields much easier.[19] Link can grab one of the carrots that are encased in a crystal ball and throw it on the ground to make the horses magically appear, which the young hero will mount automatically.
The Minish Cap
In The Minish Cap, the ranch is not as big as in Ocarina of Time. Here lives Malon and her father, Talon, along with their cows. Later in the game, if Link helps Malon and Talon in finding their house key, he can go through the ranch to reach Lake Hylia. In the ranch, Link can fuse Kinstones with Elsie, one of the cows, if he is in Minish form. Link can also buy milk from Malon and Epona in Hyrule Town.

Theory Warning | hide |
Even though Lon Lon Ranch isn't in Twilight Princess, it is speculated that Hyrule expanded over the years, and the ranch near Ordon Village may be Lon Lon Ranch. Evidence for Hyrule's expansion also explains the new Kakariko Village, the remnants of the Temple of Time, the supposed remnants of the original Hyrule Castle Town (if the people of Hyrule did move the capital to a new location), and the reason behind the castle looking like it's under construction when Link first visits it as a wolf. If this is true, nothing can really be said about Talon and Malon's descendants. Perhaps they sold the ranch, left the ranch, or are in the Ordon population. It should also be noted that Talo and Malo have similar names to the two. However, all of these ideas have never been proven and should be seen only as fan speculation and nothing more.
- Interestingly, everyone at the ranch in Ocarina of Time has a turn at running the place at various points, starting with Talon, followed by Ingo, and finally Malon.[1][20]
- Lon Lon Ranch is most likely to be named after Malon and Talon, the father-daughter owners of the ranch in Link's childhood in Ocarina of Time.
- Although the sword can be used inside the house, the Cuccos which reside on the main floor cannot be hurt, thus the Cucco Revenge Squad cannot be summoned.
- This is the only area in Ocarina of Time which is entirely optional.
- If a glitch is performed at one of the large fences, Link can obtain Epona with out having to beat Ingo in the race. [citation needed]

Once there, the boys followed the trail down to the creek and got right to stone throwing. The Oldest One noticed that there was a thin layer of ice and made a game of setting flat rocks on the ice gently, then pushing them to slide them across and into the water. He also found a rock that he said looked like a fire's flame and another that reminded him of an apple slice. (They really did resemble those things!) Into the pocket they went to add to his collection. The Littlest One gave a few big rocks a toss to watch the splash, then convinced us all that it was time for lunch.
After eating our sandwiches, pretzels, and oranges under a pavilion, we decided to take another trail that lead the opposite direction. We walked along and the Littlest One found a tree trunk that had partially split, so that the majority of it laid across the ground at exactly the right height for him to sit and bounce on. "Look, I am on a teeter-totter!" The simplicity of the natural material and the complexity of his imagination was not lost on me.
The Littlest One going under and over fallen log to forge a path. |
We meandered on down the path to where we had to cross some rocks in water to get down to where the creek was deeper. We then decided to take the small side path to wind our way back to the main trial, which caused us to have to cross another part of the creek, to walk along a fallen log balance-beam style, and to scramble up the side of the creek bank using exposed tree roots to pull us up. We worked as a team to help one another across, giving the boys to each take turns along the path to be the leader. Their sense of adventure, excitement, and pride in our ability to find our way back to the trail was contagious.
Mama and her boys pausing on a large fallen log. |
Rock throwing and name writing at the water's edge. |
Daddy and his boys inside the 'cave'. |
A few moments later the Littlest One was getting tired. I told him that we were almost there and pointed through the trees to where we could see the pavilion where we had eaten lunch, right next to the parking lot. I told him that we would just walk up to that path that was veering off to the left and we would be there. He looked at the path ahead, then looked through the trees and pointed towards the pavilion. "I am going that way...I can do it myself." Now, with all of the bushwhacking we had already done and the fact the end was just an easy minute walk, I was feeling resistant to him wanting to forge his way through the thicket of vines and underbrush. Plus, his is the Littlest One...and I often think of him as that, rather than the emerging independent soon-to-be three-year-old that he is. I tried to convince him to come with us. "Look...the path is right there. We don't need to go through there...there are thorns that might get you." "That is okay. I can just pull them out of the way and walk through. Like this..." and before I could give my rebuttal he walked off the trail and into the open forest. As I watched him confidently pull hanging vines to the side and step through, I looked at my husband and smiled. "Okay...go ahead then." He reminded me determinedly, "I do it myself!" My husband shook his head and walked up the path to meet him at the other side. "We have a Robert Frost on our hands!" I exclaimed, "Although instead of the road not taken, he is choosing the path not yet taken."
I looked at my Oldest One and he said anxiously, "I want to go, too." And typically a more cautious child, he added, "But, I want you to come with me." I agreed to go with him if he lead the way. He followed behind the Littlest One who was busy pushing his way through the twigs and I could tell that he was getting a bit frustrated by the way that he was being lead. I encouraged my Oldest One to look around and choose his own way to go. "You don't have to follow right behind him. There might be a way to do it that is better for you." After looking around a bit and getting tangled up in some vines, he made his way to the other side of the woods and exclaimed, "I made it!!"

Jane Ira Bloom
AAJ: The interplay between you two is so incredible. That's another aspect of this album that really stands out, the idea of not just one person responding interpretatively to Pollock's work, but people responding collectively. Would you mind explaining a little how you structured that?
JB: There was a little bit of discussion that went on about the qualities of each piece. You have to understand the history that I have with these four people goes way back. There's a lot of shared musical vocabulary, and history that we share. Those things don't happen overnight. In terms of applying ourselves to the compositions and the music, I have to credit the musicians because in a sense they are as equally gifted composers as they are improvisers, they're spontaneous composers in a sense. So putting this material in their hands is like sharing the paint brush, if you know what I mean. Collaboratively you get in a zone where you are reflecting and reacting without thinking. It's not a thinking process. And again I credit the musicians in that they have very sophisticated ideas about how they improvise and the choices they make. Not only the sounds, but the silences. The instrumental vocabulary they have at their command. My god, Mark Dresser can make the bass really sing, and I can say equally of Bobby Previte, there's such a beauty in the sense of mercurial flow in his rhythmic ideas that I find very exciting...
AAJ: What you just said about the use of space is something I want to go back to because it was a very unexpected element to me. Particularly considering the specific works you were responding to. Pollock's often described in terms of endless motion and layers, and so forth. There's certainly not a lot of empty space on his canvases, yet some of your pieces employed quite a bit of...
JB: Negative space.
AAJ: That brings up an interesting theoretical question. I would have thought there would have been a temptation to play...
JB: To layer and layer and layer.
AAJ: Exactly. How did you come to that?
JB: I can't say I remember being conscious of that. Again, I think it just got translated in what I intuited. Sometimes I feel—and I don't know how you feel about this—the whole process of being stimulated by the artwork coming up with musical ideas, and thinking about the fact that his ideas came from musical ideas, this big circle, its almost like it opened an unanswered question...it's the imagination rolling on. It's not the end of a process or a definitive anything. It's just thought provoking and emotion provoking.
AAJ: What about texture? Texture was such an important element to Pollock's work. I was curious how you captured that element.
JB: Orchestration. Timber is probably the word we'd use. The timber, the quality of the sound. I was very keen—particularly when I was setting up this project—about these particular instrumentalists, and how unique their sounds are. The quality of Fred Hersch's touch on the piano. Have you ever gotten ten pianists in a row and asked them to play the same note with the same finger? You'd be very surprised how the quality of touch on piano can change sound. Likewise...Mark...on the bass. Just the sound. Not only the fantastic array of extended techniques he uses, but just the quality of the sound. And likewise Bobby.
AAJ: And that's something that can't be notated.
JB: No, that's sound. That's their voices. That's the paintbrushes, the timbers, the colors. And what they do with them. And the infinite possibilities to combine them.
AAJ: I was just about to ask about that in terms of the Pollock.
JB: Well, one of the things we haven't gotten around to talking about, which intrigues me most—because you have to remember I'm a melodic player. I'm interested in melody and the melodic line, the linearity of melodic writing and the way the instruments handle that and toss that around with one another. That had a very specific relationship to what I felt when looking at the paintings. The great beauty of lines curving and arching all over.
AAJ: You talked about the movement of Pollock's painting being so important. Is that how you interpreted the sense of movement, through melodic development?
JB: On many levels. On a micro level. If we're talking about technical music ideas. If you look at some of the melodic lines that are in some of the compositions, they're not written in sixteenth notes and eighth notes or carefully measured and metered forms. They accelerate and retard. They clump in groups of five, and sevens and nines. They roller coaster up down and around. That kind of motion and flow is something I'm very interested in melodic line writing. You hear a lot of unison playing between me and Fred, and then arching around one another...On the micro level, that's going on in the writing. On the macro level, the technique that I use of trying to create Doppler like effects by actually physically moving the bell of the horn. Like 180 degrees at different velocities past the microphone is key to many of the movements in the pieces.

Winter boat covers
0empirecovers.com sells a wide range of winter boat covers. Small boats are normally used by common people when they rush to beaches in summer.
Most of these small boats are not used in winter. That's why their owners cover them up for protection. I know about boats because I had to cross sea every morning to go to the Minora Island. My father used to teach their in the government school.
The website has a good search tool. Boat owners can use the search tool to find the right covers for their boats.
6569 Indians lodged in foreign jails. Any efforts for their release
0The Indians are protesting over the death of Sabrjit in a Pakistani jail. Look at the data released by a a Kerala-based RTI activist from the Ministry of External Affairs. There are 6,569 Indian nationals in prisons in 67 different countries. No diplomatic efforts have been made to help those poor Indian languishing in different jails.
Pakistan has only 254 Indians in its jails.
The Arab countries topped the list with Saudi Arabia (1691), Kuwait (1161) and UAE (1012), according to the information provided by the MEA on April 22 to lawyer and RTI activist DB Binu in Thiruvananthapuram..
The list also showed that UK has 426, USA 155, China 157, Bangladesh 62, Afghanistan 28, Bahrain 18 and Nepal 377 Indian prisoners.
I am sad at the death of the poor Sarabjit. It appears that Indian leaders and political parties are trying to take political advantage of the incident. They know public will come out in their support if they raise hue and cry over the issue.
find parts toyota
0This year more than 55,000 reconditioned cars have been sold in Karachi alone. People buy these Japanese made cars because they are more efficient than locally manufactured cars. The problem is that their parts are not easily available in the market. Now, online spare parts retailers have made it possible to get the parts of these imported cars. One can find parts toyota using the search tools offered by these online retailers.
Toyota cars are very popular in Karachi because one can find their repair shop in every corner of this city.
India offers great places for travelers
0Economic Time has compiled a list of 7 domestic destinations for people. People who like peaceful places should Kerala. One can enjoy a boat ride fromAlappuzha canal to Kollam. People can spot kingfishers and beautiful cranes during their cruises. There are a number of Ayurvedic resorts in the areas Check out the pictures here.

Rajasthan is a place for people who like peaceful palaces. There are good resorts there. Some people like to stay at in properties in Mount Abdu. The climate is cool and you will love the surrounding desert.
Valley of Flowers
0I would like share post to blog readers. This post is about valley in Uttaranchal where one can find 500 different species of flowers.
The pictures of the beautiful valley pleased me a lot .
Fix Registry
0Registry is an important part of Windows Operating system. The system stores setting there. We all add and delete programs when we use computers. This adds new data in the registry. Sometimes 'uninstallers' cannot remove all the entries in registry. These orphan entries slows down systems and generates error messages.
One should use a tool suite like "System Mechanic' to fix registry. Removal of unwanted data improves the system performance.

0Deepika Padukone is a great actress. I liked her performance in Cocktail. She started her career with Om Shanti OM in 2007. She won many hearts by her performance in the film. This year we will see herin four films. She will be seen in Chennai Express with Shah Rukh Khan. She has done a film with Tamil megastar Rajnikanth in Kochadaiyaan. He has done a film called Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. We will see her with new friend Ranveer in Ram Leela/

Mary Schapiro's Concern with Her Legacy
Posted by Larry Doyle on December 3, 2012 8:19 AM |
Why is it that America suffers from a very real lack of leadership?
Many reasons, starting with the fact that we do not have many real leaders in the truest sense of the word. The lack of leadership goes beyond that, though. Regrettably, far too many of those charged with leading our nation are too concerned with appearances rather than standing on principle and doing the right thing. These people are not leaders. They are politicians and they get bought and sold everyday.
I shook my head this weekend when I read how our soon to depart "leader" of the SEC is concerned about her legacy in relation to pending implementation of the JOBS Act. Folks, you cannot make this stuff up. (I recommend a second barf bag before reading any further.)
As reported in The Wall Street Journal, SEC Chief Delayed Rule Over Legacy Concerns,
In one of her last acts as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Mary Schapiro delayed a rule potentially affecting hundreds of billions of dollars of private offerings by companies, in part because of concerns about her personal legacy, according to previously unpublished documents.
… Ms. Schapiro had "2 worries." The first was that if the investor groups "feel this strongly, it seems like we should give them a comment period." The second concern: "I don't want to be tagged with an Anti-Investor legacy."
Such a legacy "wouldn't be fair," she wrote, "but it is what will be said given how high emotions run on anything related to the JOBS Act."
"Chairman Schapiro strongly believes that protecting investors should be the desired legacy of all SEC Chairmen," the SEC said in a statement. "It is part of our mission and should inform our decisions at all times.
So rather than doing what she believes is the right thing, Ms. Schapiro waffles because of how her opinion/decision on this JOBS Act would be viewed by investor groups. Wow!! What backbone and character. I am all for prudent analysis and thoughtful feedback rather than rushing to judgment. We have had that on this topic. The simple fact is, I fully agree with Ms. Schapiro's concerns regarding the potential for increased fraud stemming from implementation of the JOBS Act. I wrote as much last spring (How Many Jobs Will JOBS Act Produce). She should stand up and speak out again if she disagrees with this act.
Rather than doing what she believes is right at this point in time, Schapiro's concern over her legacy compels her to kick the can and let a future SEC chair handle this issue.
In regard to Mary's concern and belief that protecting investors should be the desired legacy of all SEC chairmen, does she really want to go there?
Her political pals and press pundits can pat her on the back but how many tens if not hundreds of thousands of investors and others have suffered indescribable financial and emotional pain while Mary stood guard over FINRA and the SEC. Some legacy. But that is what happens when people are concerned with appearances and selfish motivations rather than doing the right thing.
If Mary were to write a book as many "politicians" concerned with their legacy are wont to do, then let's submit the following for the benefit of Mary's future editor and publisher.
God help us.

"She also believes that the agency should not consider investors—or the groups that represent them—to be special interests."
Mary is spot on – unfortunately she fails to identify that mom and pop are the marks.
Okay, let's get past the worry about Mary's legacy and start thinking about the country. Who's going to replace her? And, who, if anybody, will replace Big Ben Bernanke? I've heard Jamie Dimon's name floated; I'd go with Jamie for Treasury……yeah, that'll happen, and another bright industry star for SEC: Sallie Krawchek. DT
Ask a liar if they are lying and expect to hear the truth??? – Play an active role in the decimation of MILLIONS of citizens economic well-being & futures…while protecting the criminal elite…get elected / selected (confirmation / vetting process?) to attack whistleblowers and cover up in large part many of your own messes…go after the occasional strip mall accountant or some sloppy insider who hasn't kept up with their dues… Revolving door into next high paying gig… same sh!t different day.
I am in favor of polygraph attachments to all who testify before congress.
I submit that all who are appointed to serve should give sworn testimony before their first day on the job, as well as an exit interview when they leave, to "spend more time with their families." -
Larry has as good, if not better, grasp of a variety of issues, prospects, dilemmas and potential solutions facing this nation.
Why he isn't asked to give Washington a hand is beyond me.
Good post today. Bill Cohan's piece on Bloomberg shares your sentiments. Safe to say she does not have too many fans.

Season 1
Asking everyone to introduce themselves is a pretty standard practice at business dinners, especially when you are trying to create camaraderie amongst your team. And, I was so proud to have my ladies there with me. They were looking so gorgeous and I really wanted to show them off. It is a company tradition to say a few things about Yummie so I really didn't think much of the request. I had no idea Carole would be so shy, but Sonja and Luann brought the Rah-Rah spirit of the dinner home! I was moved by what everyone said and happy to be closing out an amazing international business trip on such a high note.
Early the next morning, Carole was nothing short of a saint to accompany me to my live television segment. Now, what you don't know is that we all went out on the town and whooped it up late that night. When we got back to our suite, Carole and I stayed up even later and continued the laughs and conversation almost until I had to start my hair and makeup. She even agreed to accompany me to the television set to support me through the live broadcast and we'd barely slept a second. That is friendship.
Now that my Yummie work is finished, it's time to play. We decided to kick off my "free time" by going for a traditional English high tea. Sonja and Carole showing up in the spectator hats I had bought them was a riot. I love that they completely got into it and brought on the English spirit! Everyone was turning to take a good look at our table. It was just too funny, and you get to see us starting to gel as a group and have a really good time together! Afterwards, we all head to Jonathan Adler's new store opening party where we really made a splash and had a ball.
Stay true to yourself girl. I applaud your personality and how you treat people. I do not believe that you exclude Ramona but you can only take her in very small doses. Certain professional atmospheres are not a very appropriate place for Ramona. Her tactless personality and lack of respect is just appalling and a little shameful to be around with.
Here's the problem, Heather: you are normal, and Ramona is bonkers. You will never "connect" or "communicate," because you speak the language of the sane, and Ramona speaks Orkan.
In normal society, you have different levels of friends (acquaintances, friends of friends, friends from the health club who don't know your other friends, etc.) and the groups don't always overlap. I can't see why a grown woman in her 50s (?) doesn't get this. You were well within the boundaries of politeness, not to invite Ramona to an intimate "girls' weekend."
If she doesn't like you, why would she even want to go???? The mind boggles.
I really like you. Forget Ramona, she needs to be booted off the show. She makes me nervous.
Heather is the Ramona antidote!
You don't understand old school take down and Ramona is going to give you a lesson and I will enjoy watching. First rule in war do not underestimate your opponent. And my dear you started with Ramona.
I love your pageant smile!! I love how you are happy in your own skin! I love how your success pisses Ramona off!! She had to demand a pic of herself in a convention center for a speech she gave to who ever happened to pic up a coupon bag delivered to their yard. You owned your business in London!! Did you have to strong arm anyone in London to put your pic on a sign? Did you have the table you expected? It looks like you had the things you deserved and earned:) You didn't have to bitch someone out to get it!!!!
I have to say I agree with the things you said. I don't find Heather "fake" in any way. Actually I find it somewhat refreshing to see someone just be real! I think she is genuine and an asset to the show. Ramona just seems to get more repulsive with every episode. Rude and obnoxious!
I've really enjoyed you on the show. Stay true to yourself and don't give in to Ramona's antics. I get exhausted watching her. The word Ritalin comes to mind every time she speaks. You're saying what many fans would like to say. She's a car crash everyone wants to watch and gawk at, but they wouldn't want to be involved in it. Her craziness might have been entertaining in the past, but it's gotten old...fast.
And while I like Carol, it's evident she doesn't get sales and motivating your staff. I've been to dozens of conventions and team building meetings where people were asked to stand and say something about the product or service being showcased. I find it hard that it's the "craziest thing" she's ever seen. I thought your London trip was great and it was very nice of you to include the others. You had every right not to invite Ramona. Who knows what she would have done or said around your people. True to form, it would have been a back-handed compliment or she would have tried to make the trip about her and her stinkin' wine.
Aviva needs to stop with the "speaking out of school" between you and Ramona. She's dangerously close to being called two-faced. I hope that's not the case, but it appears she tries to play to both you and Crazy Eyes.
Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing more of you on the show.
Cant wait till the day we don't have to hear Holla, Yummy Tummy, and Bring it on. Sad that in order to stay relevant she has to start something with Ramona. Good for Ramona for standing her ground. TEAM RAMONA! (and I don't even like Ramona)
abuh2009 I love the way Heather talks (I goof like that with my kids and friends...they think its cute/fun..so to each their own). And I am sooooo glad someone finally isn't letting Ramona and her bad behavior have a pass. So tired and sick of seeing that every season.
abuh2009 Is THAT what she's saying in her intro - "Holla"? What does that even mean? This is one annoying woman. Bravo - LOSE HER.
abuh2009 I do not think that she excludes Ramona to stay relevant. Ramona's personality is a bit much. I love when a person is real with you. But Ramona is not real....because she cannot admit when she is wrong. She is so narcissistic and way obsessed of her ensuring everyone "she can do it all". Please....when someone's life is perfect or their business is successful...it speaks for itself. It is unnecessary to gloat and brag about it.
@abuh2009 I hate the Holla intro too. Heather, stop trying to be so cool. You're not 20!
Heather, you are the first real woman to be on the show. You re cool, calm, collected, and a real pro, in every way. Ramona is a bull in a china shop. No class, manners, or self control. It is a breath of fresh air for a real woman to come in and take charge.
Sorry, Heather, you are a mean girl. You don't invite an ENTIRE group and exclude 1 person. It is hurtful and low-class. Ramona is out of control sometimes but she did nothing to you so terrible as to warrant that treatment. P.S. Grown, "professional" women don't say "Holla!!!"
Move along!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
I think that Ramona would have ruined the trip. Maybe it's time she hears the truth about her behavior from someone.
As a big fan since the very first show I can tell you that Heather is not a welcome housewife! She is way to busy trying to act like the "Cool Girl" .... which I feel she is NOT! Yes Heather, you talk to much and mostly about that company you are pushing down everyone's throat every week. Even your blog's have the word "YUMMIE" in just about every other sentence! Yes we all get it ... you have a slimline wear company called "Yummie"!!! How could we forget! Enough already! Give it a rest, after all this is not one of the commercials that are shown throughout the whole show, every 5 minutes .... it's the Housewives show we all tune in to watch, not an update on your bussiness ventures!
......YES a Welcome Housewife! You must be a Mean Girl too just like Ramona!
Hi Heather, I loved you! I think Ramona was jealous of you, however, everyone was cutting people off in that conversation, they just call people out to make them selves better. NOT WORKING! we know you two Ramona, is always threatened by successful woman period. so stay classy, ignore her, let her fawn over Carole, only because she is a princess, and accomplished.. U had every right ti invite who ever you want to ur gatherings, she did it a few years back, and never told Jill she was NOT invited,, so ur one up girl.. And YOU TOLD HER! A fan
I love you Heather and think you are a breath of fresh air. I find you to be very intelligent and the fact that you don't always have a glass in your hand shows that your really a business woman who knows that's not the look of a true business woman unlike that dingbat Ramona. I didn't like the way Ramona spoke about poor Sonja either, she's PURE mean.
Team Heather y'all! She's unpretentious and isn't afraid to say NO to Ramona! If I were one of the housewives, it would be my mission to say no to her as much as possible to teach her how to accept it with grace and MOVE FORWARD! She says it's just her being her, but she crosses the line far too often to use that excuse anymore. She needs to quit drinking so much so she can actually remember being insensitive and be able to genuinely apologize.
Good for you, Heather, for refusing to engage with her nonsense!
Heather dear, remember Ramona was a keeper b/c we wanted her! Keep it up & you'll be following in Jill & Kelly's footsteps!!
you are such a two face like Luann...
I LOVE Heather!!! She's so refreshing!! She actually likes other women & doesn't feel the need to be in constant competition with them.
Why don't the Producers of THIS show make it a rule you are only allowed to mention "Yummy Mummy" once a show! Seriously, I sometimes feel like I am watching one giant Yummy Mummy infomercial...
Isn't it 'Yummy Tummy'? ha-ha!
I guess she hasn't said it enough times for you, Neutron! ;-)
@mrsdonut @NeutronBomb Good one Donut!
Heather! YOu are so great to watch - love your honesty and I think it's great that you didn't give in to the pressure to invite Ramona. I was ready to quit RHONY and I'm glad I didn't, you are making it a lot of fun to watch! Thanks for keeping it real! =)
cv123 I completely agree!
I cringe everytime I see Ramona talk to you. I just wait for some stupid comment to come out of her mouth.
However, I think you are fantastic and come across as someone who is nice to everyone :) You seem like a lot of fun
God save the queen you are so royally boring; every time you open your mouth all I hear is blah blah blah. At least my fingers are getting good exercise changing the channel every time you are in the scene. You almost make Kelly Bensimon likeable.
Kelly Bensimon was a model with apparently no education. Heather is a business woman that happens to be very friendly, intelligent, articulate, and FUN!
Omg! Obviously you crave demeaning nastiness & mockery; thus, the London trip was boring to you.
I agree there should be less hawking of product placement, like Ramona's Pinot Grigio line.
I very much enjoy watching you this season. Ramona is TOTALLY jealous of you & thats a obvious fact
OMG if I have to hear any more about "crummie" yummie tummy dummy BS I am going to explode - RHONY is becoming an infomercial for this stuff. That trip to LOndon was not exciting to watch, it was like paint drying. I'd rather watch reruns of Morraco or Scary Island than this season.
OMG, it is obvious you like hostility & demeaning nastiness; therefore you were not inspired by the civility of the London trip!
P.S. Are you also sick of all the mention of Ramona's "Pinot product"?
Heather, I think you are AWESOME!!! I am so glad you came on the show, you have become my favorite housewife of all of them!!! Don't let the negitive comments get to you. You did the right thing by not inviting Ramona. She is obnoxious, self-ish, and menopasal.
What you have is clash of personalities with Ramona, you are genuine. Ramona is harsh and you are more subtle....
You absolulety did the right thing by not inviting Ramona to London. She is so competitive with you. Her claim to fame has always been that she was the only business woman on the show. She would have definately sabotaged your dinner meeting just to embarass you.
No one should be criticizing Carol..cough cough Luann...because she is not comfortable speaking in front of a bunch of strangers. Carol is not an employee of the company. She was asked to come as a guest. She should not have been expected to "perform" to make the boss happy.
"Everbody stand up and tell me how much you love me"
@ESinAZ This made me laugh out loud.
Finally a Real House Wife who one can aspire to be! You are so warm and genuine, AND a REAL business woman. At least you don't consume all your profits! Holla!
Heather, I like you. You are very authentic, you don't try to "SUCK" up. But one thing is you seem very eager to think the worst of Ramona. Did you watch the show? It was Aviva who suggested you may be jealous of Ramona. Ramona downplayed it and actually disagreed. So don't go blaming Ramona for calling you "jealous".
Chark Did you read her blog? She didn't say Ramona called her jealous, she said R called her insecure (which, R did).
And it's ridiculous. How can Ramona not understand that some people just don't mesh? I would so not get along with Ramona either, but it wouldn't make me insecure just because I don't like someone.
Yet people don't understand why Ramona wasn't invited.
You are adorable! You are confident and assertive and accomplished. I LOVE it. I agree that you can be cordial with Ramona without being fake. Everyone who calls you mean for not inviting Ramona is admitting they would put themselves in an uncomfortable situation and pursue a fake relationship. That is a gross way to live people. Take notes from Heather and learn to keep it real folks!
Heather, You are such an asset to the show this year.. I think you are very sincere person , I would rather have you as a friend anytime then Ramona. Ramona is in love with herself and there is no room for anyone else. Stay true to your feelings.

Low Unemployment Rate for Engineers This year, February 17-23 marks National Engineers Week, an annual event highlighting the important role engineers play in society. "We're sort of a hidden profession but we make an impact on people's everyday lives from the moment they wake up in the morning and brush their teeth to the moment they turn out the light to go to bed," said Don Wittmer, a project manager for the Kansas City-headquartered civil engineering firm HNTB and chairman of the Chicagoland Engineers Week Committee. "After all, engineers design water treatment plants that provide safe drinking water as well as the roads and bridges people use to travel to work. Engineers also design the appliances people use to cook their food, the buildings they work in, as well as the pacemakers, lasers, and imaging technology used to save people's lives and diagnose their illnesses. From aerospace and telecommunications to civil and biomedical engineering, engineers make a real difference in our lives and our communities." The demand for engineers of various kinds is quite strong at present. "The unemployment rate for all engineers increased last year, but it reached only 3.2 percent in the fourth quarter, averaging just 2.3 percent for the year," said Chris McManes, public relations coordinator for the Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers-USA(IEEE-USA). The recession similarly contributed to a marked increase in the unemployment rate for electrical/electronics (EE's) engineers last year, noted McManes, but that rate peaked at just 2.9 percent in the fourth quarter. New technologies and recent events are helping fuel the current demand. "A push for innovation and new product development in the semiconductor and fiber optics fields is contributing to the demand for mechanical engineers, optomechanical engineers and electronics engineers," remarked Dr. Michael Zatzick, director of technical services for the Century City, Ca. office of recruiting firm Search West. The nation's war on terrorism is expected to add to the demand for electronics engineers, too, noted Vin O'Neill, IEEE-USA's senior legislative representative for career activities. "Our members generally see increased employment when defense spending increases because they're involved in electronic warfare, both new development and the retrofitting of existing equipment," he said. "Cyber security, which has become a high priority for the country as well, also calls on the expertise of electronic engineers and computer engineers." The country's response to terrorism is also likely to add to the demand for civil engineers, said Dr. Jiann-Wen(Woody) Ju, professor and chairman of the department of civil and environmental engineering at the University of California Los Angeles(UCLA). "The terrorist attack highlighted the need to increase the structural safety of new and existing buildings, bridges, dams, and nuclear power plants. It also increased the need for fireproofing engineering, which involves retrofitting structures to improve their ability to resist high temperatures due to the impact of a bomb or airplane crash," explained Ju. Although experienced engineers tend to be in greater demand than those just entering the profession, new engineering graduates are expected to fare pretty well this year, too. At a time when new graduates in many non-engineering disciplines are seeing starting salaries from 1-9 percent lower than a year ago, engineering grads in several specialties are garnering the same or slightly higher salaries than last year, according to the Winter Salary Survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers(NACE). Looking beyond this year, engineering societies are concerned about a shortage of engineers to meet future demand. That's one reason National Engineers Week includes activities aimed at attracting young people into the profession. This year, 7th and 8th graders in 29 regional sites across the country will be participating in the Future City Competition. "They'll use a software planning kit to design their own cities on the computer, then build scale models of their cities to present to judges," explained Wittmer. Children 6-12 years old can participate in "ZOOM into Engineering, "a National Engineers Week 2002 initiative launched in partnership with producers of the PBS TV series ZOOM. The program will involve hundreds of engineers, partnering with scouting troops, Boys and Girls Clubs, educators and local PBS affiliates, to host workshops and day-long family events during which kids experiment with basic engineering principles through hands-on activities. "The contact [these children] will have with engineers could inspire a new generation of engineers and problem solvers," said Henry J. Hatch, co-chair of National Engineers Week 2002. For more information about this year's, as well as future National Engineers Week activities, visit: www.eweek.org. |

We needed a room in or close to downtown Nashville for just one night, since downtown hotels were running at about $300 a night we decided to opt for a... place a little further from the heart of downtown. This hotel was conveniently located and reasonably priced. One of the biggest issues we had with it was that there was NO ice machine. What hotel doesn't have an ice machine?! It wasn't the cleanest or nicest room I've ever been in, but it wasn't awful dirty either. 2013.05.07에 올려진 Hotels.com 회원님의 이용 후기

Can new SEC disclosure rules help bring transparency to Uganda's oil sector?
This piece originally appeared on the Huffington Post.
Nestled near the end of the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (HR 4173) is Section 1504, two and half pages of text that aim to bring much needed transparency to the extractive resources industry, especially its operations in the developing world.
President Obama's recent speech on international development to the UN General Assembly highlighted the role of transparency and accountability as ways to improve government institutions. The financial reform bill provides one such mechanism by strengthening business and government accountability in the extractive sector.
The law requires domestic and foreign companies that submit annual reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to publish annually how much money they pay to U.S. and foreign governments for extracting oil, gas, and minerals.
Why does this matter?
This type of disclosure is critical. Lack of transparency around transactions between extractive industries and governments can lead to corruption and mismanagement of both resources and the associated revenues. The result, all too often, is the so-called "resource curse": a paradox in which countries abundant in natural resources enjoy less economic growth and poorer development outcomes than countries with fewer natural resources. By requiring transparency around how much companies pay to foreign governments for these valuable resources, SEC disclosure will empower public interest groups to track funds more accurately and hold governments accountable.
Given its great potential, what impact will this law have in practice? Uganda, one of Africa's newest petro-states, could provide a first test case.
Uganda and the Shadow of the 'Resource Curse'
Uganda, a country rich in natural resources, is building a foundation for a progressive democracy. For example, it is one of a handful of countries in Africa that grants its citizens the right of access to information. But the discovery of oil in 2006 has some advocates concerned that Uganda may still fall victim to the "resource curse".
The oil discoveries in the northern part of Uganda's Albertine Rift spurred significant investment by foreign oil companies. As of 2009, over $700 million has been spent on oil exploration in the region. Companies have so far drilled only three of the nine exploration blocks, but have already found more than two and a half billion barrels of oil, raising high expectations for when full production begins, as early as this fall.
A Lack of Transparency
As oil production and extraction ramp up in Uganda, local NGOs have campaigned to gain access to Production Share Agreements (PSAs), the contracts between governments and resource extraction companies that dictate what percentage of revenues will go to the government. PSAs provide critical information which NGOs can use to calculate production amounts and track revenues.
However, the Ugandan government has refused to make these public, claiming that doing so would undermine the government's negotiating position in allocating the remaining oil exploration blocks.
Since 2007, journalists have filed at least three pleadings in Ugandan courts over the release of PSAs—two in magistrate courts and one in the High Court. In the first case, heard in February of 2010, the Magistrate ruled in favor of the government by declaring that the PSAs are confidential documents based on an interpretation of the country's Access to Information Act. In pleadings to the High Court in 2010, Greenwatch (a public-interest environmental law NGO) argued that it needs access to the PSAs in order to assess oil project impacts on the environment and public health to protect citizens' Constitutional right to a clean and healthy environment. This case is scheduled to be heard shortly.
Help from the SEC?
Given these developments in Uganda at the national level, civil society groups in Uganda may need to look to the international arena for legislation such as the Dodd-Frank Act to gain transparency around the oil sector. The SEC rule-making period, which lasts until April 2011, will be critical in determining how the Act will play out on the ground.
Tullow Oil, the major oil exploration company with concessions in Uganda, is listed primarily on the London Stock Exchange and does not file annual reports with SEC. Tullow, however, is seeking to sell one-third of its shares to Total S.A., a French extractives company, and another one-third of its shares to the China National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC), which are both registered with the SEC and file annual reports.
If the SEC rule-making process establishes regulations that cast a wide net, it will help Ugandan civil society get the information they need to hold their government accountable. WRI and partners will continue to track these issues and collaborate on how to build capacity of advocates, local NGO leaders and parliamentarians to learn how to acquire this information from the SEC. Only then can this new U.S. law help shift the balance of power from the government of Uganda to its citizens, and enable civil society to use this data to work with the government to improve environmental governance.

The Resource Curse - Does the emperor have no clothes? from the blog -http://www.plawlotic.com/?p=8#comment-32
"Despite overwhelming consensus, there is reason to be skeptical of the resource curse theory" according to joint research done by S. Haber and V. Menaldo..."historical trajectory of resource-reliant countries and conducted before-and-after comparisons, in order to see if the discovery and increased production of oil and minerals had any effect on countries' political institutions; we have also compared these countries to non-resource reliant countries that were similar to them on the eve of resource discovery, save for reliance on oil and minerals. We were surprised to learn that, upon closer inspection, there really is no there there!"
I'm not sure claiming this issue will address the problem of resource curse is appropriate. Resource curse is generally associated with the appreciation of a nation's currency resulting from increased demand in order to purchase the resources in the local currency. This makes capital less available to other segments of the economy and makes exports less competitive due to the increase of the real exchange rate. Having this data might allow for projections of the scale of resource curse impacts but if it only applied to US companies that insight would be limited. Given that countries, including Uganda, are likely to balk at releasing this information the likely result would be that corporations would divide their US and international businesses making these rules ineffective.
Resource curse is much broader than appreciation of country's real exchange rate. Currency appreciation also known as "Dutch Desease" is but only one element of resource curse. The broader perspective of resource curse should consider both economic and political interplay. Econimic side on one hand revolves arround adverse effect to the broader economy (other sectors), price volatility Vis-à-vis spending patterns of finite resource revenue, sector knowledge (bleep) between the resource rich states and Multi national extraction companies. Political side on the other hand embrace issues arround the "political space" for citizens involvement in the governance of the national resources i.e. state transparency as a means to ensure accountability to its citizen and reduce chances of curruption.
The Outcome of the interplay normally manifest itself in increasing poverty levels, civils wars and poor weak social service delivery among others.In its all complexity, the Oil discovery in Uganda by and large (as of now) portrays ptentials signs of resource curse.

As expected, paddlers couldn't resist kayaking in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene. After all, hurricanes do raise rivers and lakes and offer some spectacular natural effects even after the storm has passed. Lucky for these two kayakers on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire that rescuers could get to them in time.

Home to the most gorgeous European lesbians in, well, Europe, Sapphic Erotica has long been regarded as one of the 'net's greatest all-female hardcore site and with good reason, too. Near-perfectly capturing an atmospheric blend of sensuality and lust, seduction and hardcore fuckin', this is a site that, while occasionally feeling a tad artificial, has managed to convince heterosexual men across the globe that they don't have to be directly or vicariously involved in a sexual act for it to blow their minds, their wallets, and their loads. Now discounted to an affordable Mr. Pink-approved price, Sapphic Erotica isn't just lesbian porn at its best, it's one of Europorn's most lasting achievements.
Larry Flynt might have started Hustler as a strip-club and newsletter way back when, but these days most of the company's important projects is its self-titled website. Here at Hustler's online branch you'll find an enormous archive of the greatest (and not-so-great) hardcore movies that have made Hustler Video a roaring success. You'll have at your fingertips parodies, college-aged sluts, all-Asian orgies and pretty much anything your wicked little mind can conjure up in its imagination. Hustler rules!
Babes, babes, babes. Love 'em or lust after 'em, you can't deny 'em the attention they crave and at Babes dot com, you won't be able to tear your eyes away from 'em. Hosting only the finest visual depictions of stunningly sexy women in action with each other and some very lucky men, Babes is one of the classiest-looking hardcore sites on the 'net. While the performances have been negatively affected by the obviously intense camera and lighting setups, the visuals are exquisite and a must-see for anyone who fancies himself (or herself) an admirer of the female form. (And if that's not you, what the hell are you doing here?)
Erotica often gets an unfair shake, relegated to playing second fiddle to wilder, more adventurous hardcore porn productions that aim straight for your gonads and never let go. Here at Errotica Archives, however, suggestive poses and seductive glances are the name of the game and if any site does this kind of erotic content with near-perfection, it's Errotica Archives. With 720p HD videos and photos so high resolution you can count the tiny downy hairs circling your favorite model's nipples, fans of more refined, dare I say "artistic" adult entertainment will no doubt find Errotica Archives eminently fulfilling. And there's not a gaping asshole in sight, either! Classy move, Errotica Archives. Classy move indeed.
Getting tired of staring at tanned Cali-girls, Shanghai sweeties, lusty Latinas and perfectly pale European maidens? Why not do yourself a favor and check out Black Ice Pass, "the maker of the finest ebony hardcore" and home to such luminous African-American pornstars are Jada Fire, Kapri Styles, Beauty Dior, and the incomparable Nyomi Banxxx. Presenting ample content in stunning High Definition video formats that show off each and every inch of these luscious ladies' incredibly well-proportioned bodies, the women themselves are reason enough to join Black Ice Pass.
Masturbation. It seems like we can't keep our hands off ourselves, especially with so many sexually alluring women at our virtual fingertips, but what about those women and their self-gratification habits? I Feel Myself aims to paint a clear and realistic picture of how, where, when, why, and with what genuine amateur women give themselves pleasure. From simple studio-shot videos to those taking place in the great outdoors, I Feel Myself has been topping must-see lists for over five years and, as is the case with most great adult websites, I Feel Myself is only getting better with age.
Ever since Kelly and Ryan first met, they must've known something special was brewing. Instead of churning out brat after brat and putting away for a second SUV like so many American married couples, they instead embarked on a pornography business, the fruits of which are continually bearing to this day. Porn Fidelity, the Madisons' flagship swinging site, hosts more than 450 exclusive scenes that would ruin any other marriage, filled as they are with extramarital sex of a most hardcore fashion. In the hands (and, where Kelly's concerned, mouths and pussies) of these two lovebirds, however, it's nothing but a wild adventure through sexual fantasies most married men and women flatly refuse to allow themselves to even consider. Porn Fidelity truly is a marriage made in porno heaven.
Having kept one eye open and trained on beautiful women for most of my life, I, Mr. Pink, your humble reviewer, find myself inordinately drawn to Watch 4 Beauty, a site boasting a large, exclusive, and original collection of softcore and light hardcore erotica starring models so breathtakingly beautiful you may doubt their very existence. Could girls this stunning really walk the same earth as you? Believe it, brother, and, as the poster says: Keep Calm and Watch 4 Beauty.
MC Nudes has been packing its exclusive photo erotica with as much detail as possible for seven years and now, well into the second decade of the 21st century, comes to a crucial stage of its development and online life. Still showcasing the incomparable beauty of some of Eastern Europe's finest examples of feminine beauty in dazzling high resolution images, MC Nudes will no doubt keep eager oglers coming back month after month, but if this is your first real exposure to the MC Nudes universe, why not follow along as Mr. Pink once again takes a look at one of the 'net's premiere erotica sites? This, gentlemen, is MC Nudes.
Pix and Video might be one of the blandest, most uninspired brand names in adult entertainment, but the site itself rarely disappoints. With Europe's most dazzling performers dropping to their knees to suck dick, suckle nipple, and lap at each other's rapidly moistening snatches, Pix and Videos captures some pretty racy stuff in its 1080p HD video and 4200px photo content. Quality is paramount here at Pix and Video, but your enjoyment only increases as repeat members see discounts of the kind every decent porn site should offer. Pix and Video is, in reality, a whole lot more.
