Tips for Safely Using Rope Halters
- Don't leave any halter, especially a rope halter, on your horse while in the pasture unless it is made to break away if the horse becomes tangled.
- Don't tie your horse with a rope halter. The narrowness of the rope can cause severe rope burn if the horse pulls back.
- Don't use a rope halter on foals. Their skin is tender, and the rope halter might be too severe if the foal pulls back.
- Make sure your knots are properly tied, and the rope halter adjusted properly each time you use it. It shouldn't tighten or loosen with use.
- If you choose to use a lead line that loops through the rope halter, rather than one with a snap, make sure that the loop is small enough that the horse cannot put a foot through. There have been incidents where a horse was being grazed with a rope halter and lead line, and the horse stepped into the loop of the lead line.
- Don't yank harshly on the horse with any halter on. Anything that makes your horse throw its head up and back is counterproductive to good training. Encourage head down, rather than head up and back to encourage your horse to relax and be obedient.
- Check your rope halter for fit after your horse has worn in a few times. Both knots and rope can relax, leaving your halter a bit bigger than expected.
Where to Find Instructions to Make Rope Halters
Rope halters are not difficult to make. They are a great gift, and can be customized to coordinate with other tack.
Natural Horse Supply has a good tutorial on making rope halters. You'll find size charts, measurements and good diagrams of the knots. The downloadable and printable PDF that is available should make it easier to take these instructions to your work area.
Another good tutorial can be found at Front Range Frenzy - Making Your Own Halter. You'll find a few more caveats about rope halters here, good illustrations and the estimated time for making your first halter--three hours with help from a puppy.
Pony Club Victoria has instructions and nice illustrations of the knots required to make a rope halter.
Cowboy Halter Tying Instructions by David J. Dill suggests going to your local department store for an inexpensive source of rope. David mentions you can use any material that is braided or plaited. Could this be a good way of using up old baler twine?
Fiador Knots
Probably, the most confusing part of making the halter is tying the fiador knot that goes under the chin. Knotworkn has a page of instructions for tying fiador knots. Also check out the link to splicing. This is a good way to repair broken halters and lead ropes.
Horse Knotting has a series of diagrams that demonstrate how to tie a fiador knot. If you're still stumped after reading and looking through the pictures, and none of your horse owning friends can help, a reader on the About Sailing forum suggests going to a marina and getting a hands-on demonstration.

This week, there are new Ozzy and The Enid albums, live recordings from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Nutz, plus a Therapy? reissue.
The Zombies, whose 40th anniversary dates for Odessey & Oracle lasted so long they ran into the album's 41st anniversary, are set to return with a new studio album later this year.

Kathy Griffin's love live is spicing up!
After the Bravo star was spotted around town with Isaiah Mustafa (a.ka. the Old Spice guy), a source confirms to UsMagazine.com that the two are indeed an item.
"They are not boyfriend/girlfriend but they are definitely spending time together and getting to know each other," the source tells Us of the pair, who began seeing each other several months ago.
The 50-year-old comedienne even tweeted a photo of herself with Mustafa, 37, in late September, who she deemed "super hot" at the time.
(Prior to his relationship with Griffin, the Chuck actor also romanced "Scream 4" star, Neve Campbell.)
The couple's mutual attraction was obvious during Tuesday's Costume Designers Guild Awards in Beverly Hills, where Mustafa was seen whispering in Griffin's ear and kissing her hand. The following day, he visited the Griffin on the set of "Glee," where the two were caught canoodling between takes.
Despite their fledgling romance, Griffin played coy about her love life when Us asked her about her Valentine's Day plans at Clive Davis' pre-Grammys party on Feb. 12.
"Once again, I'm going to be under some guy," she joked.

Control of DirecTV gives Murdoch a global satellite distribution system and a unique set of powers. At any one time, as many as one in five U.S. households will be tuned in to a show News Corp. (NWS
) either produces or delivers. In response, cable and media rivals such as Comcast Corp. (CMCSK
) and Time Warner Inc. (TWX
) are moving to bulk up as well. Comcast recently paid $54 billion for AT&T Broadband. It is buying regional sports rights, offering telephone and two-way Internet interactivity over its cable lines (satellite can't do all that yet), and locking in relationships with programmers such as Viacom Inc. (VIA
In Britain, Murdoch crushed his cable rivals by introducing new technology and cutting prices on digital boxes. His satellite delivery systems are now powerful distributors of TV programs in Britain, as well as Italy and wide swaths of Asia and the Middle East.
Murdoch will now become a significant gatekeeper of programming to American homes, along with a handful of other media moguls. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Michael K. Powell argues that there is nothing to fear from this concentration because there are hundreds of channels out there providing information. There's the Internet, too. But the reality is that most Americans still get their news from just a few sources, and many of these are being absorbed into conglomerates. In effect, independent choices are narrowing.
Equally troubling is the politicization of the news. Conservatives have long argued that traditional broadcast TV and cable news shows such as CNN have a liberal bias. True or false, few people match Murdoch for using his business holdings to advance his own conservative political views. The media empire Rupert Murdoch has built is a business marvel to behold, but the media concentration it represents should concern Washington and the public.

Obama administration to argue for gay marriage in Supreme Court case
The US Supreme Court next month hears arguments in a case challenging the 'Defense of Marriage Act.' In a brief filed Friday, the Obama administration asserts that DOMA discriminates against gay and lesbian couples in violation of the US Constitution.
(Page 2 of 2)
Homosexual conduct has a history of being prosecuted as criminal in the United States. And although same-sex marriages now are legally recognized in nine states and the District of Columbia, many more states still have laws aimed at gays and lesbians – including restrictions on the adoption of children, banning gay marriage, and refusing legal benefits to same-sex couples.
Skip to next paragraph"Tradition, no matter how long established, cannot by itself justify a discriminatory law under equal protection principles," the Solicitor General writes in his brief.
The Supreme Court next month also is scheduled to take up California's Proposition 8, which provides that "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized" in the state. Both Prop. 8 and DOMA have been declared unconstitutional by lower courts.
It's unclear whether the Obama administration will weigh in against Prop. 8 as it has with DOMA.
"Next week I think we will see the government urging the same standard of review be used to overturn Prop. 8, and with it, all anti-gay-marriage laws," Richard Socarides, a gay rights advocate and White House adviser to President Bill Clinton, told Politico. "It's clear from the administration's DOMA brief that they understand and now embrace its connection to the Prop. 8 case. The discrimination evidenced by Prop. 8 itself is cited to support the standard of review urged by the government to strike down DOMA."
The DOMA case involves Edith Windsor, who lived with her partner Thea Spyer for many years. They were married in 2007 in Canada, returning to their home in New York where their marriage was recognized by state law. But when Ms. Spyer died in 2009, Ms. Windsor – because of DOMA – was forced to pay $363,000 in federal estate taxes that the surviving spouse in a heterosexual marriage would not have to pay.
As he has said, President Obama's position on gay marriage has "evolved" in its favor.
In his inaugural address last month, he said, "Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."
Polls show a clear shift in public acceptance of same-sex marriage, especially among under-30 Americans – 63-35 percent approve, according to a Quinnipiac University poll in December. For all age groups, Gallup puts the number at 53-46 approval.
How much do you know about the US Constitution? A quiz.

First 2 Trailers for Seth McFarlane's "Ted"
By Dan C. on Apr 07, 2012 with Comments 0
For those that haven't yet heard, Seth McFarlane will be releasing his first movie; Ted. Starring Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, and the voice talents of Seth McFarlane, Ted is the story of two best friends, one of whom just happens to be a grown up, magical, talking teddy bear. McFarlane, the creator of the hit Family Guy and American Dad television shows, is known for his irreverent style of humor, not afraid to make fun of anything or anyone. In keeping with that style, the first of these Ted trailers has been "age restricted" due to the intense amount of vulgar sex jokes, harsh language, and drug use. The second trailer is a bit more tempered, but still very funny. Take a look…

Battle of Hampton Roads, 1862
New York City Saturday, August 17, 2013
Author and historian James McPherson talks about his book "War on the Waters: The Union and Confederate Navies, 1861-1865." He argues that the actions of both navies determined whether or not foreign nations would become involved in the American Civil War. The Bryant Park Corporation, Oxford University Press and the New-York Historical Society co-hosted this event.

Author and professor David Mindell talks about the technology of the USS Monitor, and the experience of its crew aboard one of the first ironclads. He spoke in early March at the Mariners' Museum annual Civil War Navy Conference. This year's conference marked the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Hampton Roads where, for the first time, ironclad warships met in battle.

Two speakers make presentations at the U.S. Capitol Historical Society's 2012 Civil War Symposium. First, author Fergus Bordewich talks about the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War, the Congressional panel created to monitor Northern military affairs. Then, economics professor Jenny Bourne talks about how the war was financed.
Two Civil War sailors who went down with the USS Monitor ironclad off the coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina in 1862 are interred in a full military honors funeral at Arlington National Cemetery.
Historians consider several developments in naval technology over the course of the war. They discuss ironclad gunboats, Confederate efforts to break the Union Blockade, and spar torpedo boats. This event was part of a symposium on Technology and the Civil War hosted by the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
Historian and author Craig Symonds talks about the various naval aspects of the war – from technological developments, to the battles themselves; from the Union blockade, to the rivers of the Western Theater. Symonds is history professor emeritus at the U.S. Naval Academy, and the author of "The Civil War at Sea." He presented this talk at the Smithsonian's Ripley Center, on the National Mall.
Craig Symonds of the U.S. Naval Academy talks about the war's Western Theater river operations in 1862. Symonds details the strategies employed by the Union to win several key battles, and credits those victories to the cooperation and combined tactics of General Ulysses S. Grant and Naval Flag Officer Andrew H. Foote. The Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College hosted this event.
Hari Jones of the African American Civil War Memorial and Museum delivers a two-part talk about African American intelligence and espionage efforts on behalf of the Union leading up to and through the war. In part one, he details the pre-existing networks of people of African descent in the United States, and how those "knowledge circles," as he calls them, were the foundations for the "Loyal League," a secret national organization of slaves, servants, and freedmen who contributed to the Union cause, and viewed the Civil War as the ultimate means of ending slavery. In part two, he details the activities and movements of specific African Americans on both sides of the lines during the war. The Historical Society of Washington, DC and the International Spy Museum co-hosted this event.
Museum of the Confederacy guide Michael Thomas talks about the life and military career of Patrick Cleburne. Born and raised in Ireland, Cleburne emigrated to the United States in his early 20s, and settled in Arkansas, where he became a lawyer. He joined a local militia in the lead-up to the Civil War -- and upon Arkansas' secession from the Union -- Cleburne began his rise through the Confederate ranks, eventually earning the rank of major general. The Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia hosted this event.
Author and University of Virginia history professor Elizabeth Varon discusses her book, "Appomattox: Victory, Defeat, and Freedom at the End of the Civil War." She talks about the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9th, 1865, and details what she contends are the two generals' differing interpretations of the surrender terms. Ms. Varon argues that the popular romanticized understanding of the surrender as a grand moment of reconciliation conceals the true ideological struggle over the war's causes and meaning. The University of Virginia's Miller Center of Public Affairs hosted this event.
Author and professor Jean Edward Smith discusses the military career of Ulysses S. Grant, from his entry into West Point through his service and leadership of Union forces in the Civil War. He talks about Grant's feelings on military service, his leadership style, and his many successes and failures. The New-York Historical Society hosted this event.

BOSTON (Ticker) -- Days after putting together one of the best offensive efforts in team history, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays did it again.
Damian Rolls and rookie Antonio Perez each homered and drove in a career-high five runs as the Devil Rays banged out a club-record 21 hits in a 15-9 triumph over the Boston Red Sox .
"We were aggressive," Tampa Bay manager Lou Piniella said. "We hit the ball, we moved the ball around the field, we used our speed to go from first to third, we stole some bases and hit some balls out of the ballpark. That's really what's been missing out of our offense."
Rolls hit a grand slam in a seven-run fifth inning after Perez put Tampa Bay ahead for good, 4-2, with a two-run shot in the second. The two combined to go 6-for-11 with four runs scored.
"This team could use offense like we got today," Perez said. "Hopefully, the bats can continue to swing like they were today. I'm just happy because there are a lot of other rookies on this team and I'm just trying to play better and help them out."
Each player in the Devil Rays ' lineup scored at least one run and, with the exception of Travis Lee , had at least two hits.
Tampa Bay set a team record Sunday with 15 runs against Texas.
"Their young guys seem to be doing the job," Red Sox center fielder Johnny Damon said. "We seemed to be a little too aggressive at the plate in the early parts of the ballgame. By the time we tried to wait their pitchers out, we dug ourselves in too deep of a hole."
Boston starter Ramiro Mendoza (3-4) was unable to protect an early lead, allowing seven runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings.
The Red Sox took a 2-0 lead in the first on Manny Ramirez 's 24th home run.
But the Devil Rays responded with four runs in third. Toby Hall and Julio Lugo singled with one out and Carl Crawford delivered an RBI double ahead of Perez's second major league homer.
In the fifth, Crawford doubled with one out and scored on a single by Perez to make it 5-2. Aubrey Huff singled to put runners at the corners and chase Mendoza for Chad Fox , who gave up an RBI single to Rocco Baldelli and walked Lee to load the bases.
Rolls followed with his first career grand slam to make it 10-2.
"I wasn't really looking for anything special," Rolls said. "He walked Travis Lee pretty quick, so I didn't want to go up there and take if he wasn't going to be around the zone. I thought it was going to be a fastball, so he tricked me a little bit. But I was able to get in front of it enough that I was able to drive it out."
Marlon Anderson followed with a double and later scored on a single by Lugo.
"We couldn't stop the bleeding there in the fifth inning and that was the difference in the ballgame," Red Sox manager Grady Little said. "We've been fortunate this year that it hasn't happened to us that often, but it was one of those days that it did happen and we got through it the best we could."
Trot Nixon hit a solo shot in the fifth inning, Nomar Garciapara added a two-run homer in the sixth and Todd Walker had a three-run blast in the seventh that got Boston within 10-8.
"We have the type of team where we never believe we are down and out," Walker said. "We came out after being down 11-2 or whatever it was and fought back. That's the type of team we have here."
Devil Rays starter Victor Zambrano (7-5) allowed eight runs and seven hits, including four homers, in 6 2/3 innings. But he won for the fifth time in his last six decisions.
"He got a little careless with the lead, but at the same time, he milked it pretty good," Piniella said. "I'm glad to see we added the tack-on runs in the ninth inning."
Tampa Bay padded its lead with a run in the eighth and three in the ninth.
The loss ended Boston's five-game winning streak heading into a weekend showdown with the first-place New York Yankees .

Based on the way the parts resemble other tools, it looks like a powered, worm drive plow plane.

Strange Patents
If you get results that you think don't relate to the keyword you used, remember that words can have many meanings. Words that we think describe only one article can be used to describe other things. For example, we may think of "puzzle" as a game, but it can be used to describe biotechnological or even mechanical inventions.Too Many Patents Listed
If you look for the word toys, you will get patents that are child toys, pet toys, inventions that are minature. Even very technical devices may be described as toys. You are going to need to use a better keyword or more than one keyword.No Patents
This can sometimes happen. You entered certain words or words in a specific combination that just couldn't be found in any patents.Note: The illustration above is a patent drawing. Part of the good stuff you get to see after using the images button discussed in step 5.

expert : Lynne Twist
by Mariana Bozesan I have known Lynne Twist for only a couple of years, but I feel that I have known her forever. I say that because her youthfulness, unconditional love for people, and zest for life make her easy to connect with and to love. Being in her presence is not only inspiring, but more importantly very empowering. People are attracted to Lynne like moths to the light because of her inner beauty and soulfulness that are contagious. She is one of the most brilliant women I know. She has dedicated her entire life to service of humanity. She has developed a unique ability to apply her intelligence and education to change the lives of the neediest people on this planet. Through her work against hunger, she has been able to build a powerful bridge between the most fortunate and the most unfortunate people on Earth. What I appreciate most about Lynne is her humility, her deep sense of gratitude and unconditional love for all there is. I am deeply grateful and honored by our friendship. For more information about Lynne Twist, please visit herwebsite.

Re: What am I doing wrong?
Another thing I should mention is to avoid using teleconverters until your skill has been developed a bit. The TCs make it more difficult.

Re: What am I doing wrong?
i have been using Jim's technique for all my in flight shots and i can tell you that it does work and i can also tell you that he is 100% correct about the use of the TC. what people don't understand is that shooting birds and especially birds in flight is a skill that you need to develop. you can't just pick up a heavy combination and expect to master it in a matter of days. if you are serious about improving, you will need to practice a LOT. i started with tracking the bigger birds and then slowly moved to the more difficult birds.
with that said, a lot of people seem to focus a lot on the gear and even on the technique but don't pay enough attention to the value in knowing your subject. once you really observe the bird and know how they behave, this gets MUCH easier. most birds (except for those damn swallows) are VERY predictable and have very unique flying styles. most experienced bird shooters can tell you exactly what a bird is going to do before it actually does it so they know how to anticipate. |

Re: What am I doing wrong?
Jim is obviously an acknowledged expert at this.
It is probably obvious but the smaller the lens and magnification the easier this is. With a 500 and the kind of magnication and weight involved is the application I made my first post in reference to utilizing the wind, angles and the tripod with appropriate ball head. Yes normally tracking birds in flight is easier with out using a tripod....except with a huge lens and huge magnification....or after LOTS of practice perfecting the technique with smaller and lighter lenses....once you get it down, then graduate to heaver lenses with more magnification.

She's a land called Barren craft, Variety of laugh hangs On this verse The vampire's turbine Is double of man's Heart, Biting different parts With just one mouth, Stones at your back As dart that excretes Artifacts. She gives another two clap As the cow whose delight Is for the calf. The real laugh lives within Only a tiny line stands In between, Never talk silence to be Darkness, Drill into your pride Like super is the greater Price. I never respect the thunder's Eye Despite His knowledge Of wonder's to life's child, I am bribed with just one Fun night To last twice, Castigate her son In epileptic day light. I never sat to revise These an episode I Wish to revive, The shy stars pity my Crime, As the goats gather to Empty my shaft. How did I make this verse?

As investors consider the wave of market predictions for 2013, they may want to go to the tape and review how well the "experts" did this year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up more than 7%. The S&P 500 Index has gained more than 13%. The technology-heavy Nasdaq has added more than 15%.
Making money in 2012 seems almost as easy as Bernard Madoff made it look for years and years. But things didn't turn out so well if you followed the advice of some leading market prognosticators.
If you put money on these sage predictions, there is this consolation prize: You can still claim losses against your income taxes.
For example, noted investor Jim Rogers was beside himself with worry at the end of 2011.
"I'm not optimistic for the most part about stock markets," Mr. Rogers, who co-founded Quantum Fund with George Soros, wrote at the time. "I don't own many stocks anywhere in the world."
He added a caveat: Elections in the U.S. and France would tempt politicians to "buy votes" with government spending. This would stimulate some sectors, he said, and some people are going to be much better off in 2012.
"Is it enough to offset the world's problems? I don't think so," Mr. Rogers wrote. "So myself, I am short stocks around the world."
Today, Mr. Rogers notes that when it came to individual calls he made many correctly. He called any analysis suggesting he was wrong about 2012 "very strange."
He noted that he recently shorted Apple Inc. AAPL +0.61% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq $527.91 +3.22 +0.61% March 17, 2014 11:38 am Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2.99M P/E Ratio 13.02 Market Cap $468.31 Billion Dividend Yield 2.31% Rev. per Employee $2,163,820 03/14/14 Big-Bang Disruptions: The Digi... 03/14/14 iOS 7.1 Spotted in More Than a... 03/14/14 Data Point: iPhone Owners Are ...

He says emerging markets and European markets have struggled.

The FTSE 100 is up nearly 7%.
Given that record, Mr. Rogers says, "I have a bit of trouble with 'get wrong."'
If anything, Mr. Rogers is consistent. He is sticking to his doom-and-gloom predictions for 2013. In an interview with CNN on Nov. 9, he said that for the next two years, "we're going to have turmoil and problems in most financial markets."
At least Mr. Rogers painted his predictions in broad strokes. Jim Cramer, the CNBC pundit, former fund manager and arguably the most-recognizable Wall Street stock picker, got specific. In more than one instance, that was a mistake.
At the end of 2011, Mr. Cramer warned investors to avoid bank stocks. Oops. They were one of the best-performing sectors in 2012. The KBW Philadelphia Bank Index was up 30.3% year to date through Wednesday.
He urged investors to avoid real estate, but housing prices, as measured by the S&P/Case Shiller Home Price Indexes, are up more than 2% from a year ago. Boo-yah!
U.S. real estate stocks are up nearly 14%. The stocks of home builders, as measured by the S&P Homebuilders exchange-traded fund, are up 53.6%.
Moreover, Mr. Cramer was worried about Europe. He predicted a major European bank "will crash."
True, some European banks have suffered significant losses, but none failed.
To his credit, Mr. Cramer made a few good calls, too. He touted Google Inc. GOOG +1.30% Google Inc. Cl A U.S.: Nasdaq $1188.08 +15.28 +1.30% March 17, 2014 11:38 am Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1.06M P/E Ratio 32.60 Market Cap $394.12 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $1,250,730 03/17/14 The Morning Download: Vendors ... 03/15/14 Alibaba: A Mix of Amazon, eBay... 03/14/14 Alibaba, Weibo Prep for IPOs i...

More quote details and news » It is up 11%.
Mr. Cramer couldn't be reached for comment.
Neither Mr. Rogers nor Mr. Cramer should feel singled out. The business of market punditry is fraught with potholes.
Of the 65 market "gurus" tracked during the last few years by CXO Advisory Group, the median accuracy for market calls is 47%. If that sounds low, or you wonder about the quality of the pundit, consider that the list includes such well-known names as Bill Fleckenstein (37%), Jeremy Grantham (48%), Bill Gross (46%) and Louis Navellier (60%).
The record speaks for itself. Most of the smartest guys in the room are usually about as reliable as a coin flip. After bombing in 2011 with a prediction that Treasury yields would rise, Mr. Gross, founder and co-chief investment officer of Pacific Investment Management Co., didn't make any sweeping predictions for 2012 except to say he worried about Europe.
Mr. Gross wasn't wrong, but it would be a stretch to say he was right.

The knowledge and understanding of what an elder feels during the Holidays can help families make better plans. There are many questions to be asked -- and answered -- about the treatment of elders and their inclusion in joyous, often noisy family parties:
Should a person in a nursing home or assisted living resident be taken "home" for the family party?
Should older people be asked to travel a long distance to be with their children and grandchildren?
What does a parent realy need or want? As opposed to what the giver likes and wants?
The holidays can be an emotional roller coaster time of year, but should be enjoyed without anxieties and stress. Join Dr. Sadigh and his very special guest Carol Abaya as she shares her unique understanding of the diverse elements in our changing and aging society. Listen to Carol's solutions for many complicated issues regarding elders during the Holidays. Call in and find out how to deal with your elders? Ms. Abaya, M.A., is nationally recognized as an expert on the sandwich generation, aging and elder care issues. She has received national awards for her work with elders and their families. As a journalist, she has written about the obstacle's of sandwich generation for more than 20 years. Her weekly column currently appears on: www.newjerseynewsroom.com
