As I'm prone to do when I have something on my mind and really just need to think things through, I typically find myself at the place I consider my "safe haven" — the Kokomo Speedway.
Sunday afternoon I ventured to the one place where I can lose myself, no matter how bad things are or even good for that matter. I found myself sitting in the totally empty parking lot of the local oval. Most times when I visit the track I find myself recollecting the days when as a kid I would pester my poor dad and mother to no end each Sunday morning from the time they awoke about whether or not we would be able to go the track that evening.
Back then I was in third grade and was be awestruck when the likes of Allen Barr, the late Dick Gaines, Bobby Kinser, Ron Fisher, Don Fisher, Red Bledsoe, Ed Angle, Louie Mann, Don Walker, Jim Elliott, whose son Tony would go on and become the winningest sprint car driver in track history to date. There was also Dave Phillips, Swede Bolander, Jon Casbon, Chuck Piker and countless others that would take the track each race night.
While sitting there I was contemplating the book that is my goal on the old facility and debating exactly how I wanted to go about writing this book, which would satisfy the dream I've had since I began covering the goings on at the track all these years.
The tough thing about getting the forthcoming book (that is if some publisher is willing to take a chance, though I've been told it's a very good possibility) is the lack of official records that were kept in the primitive years.
I've spent countless hours going through micro-film studying sports sections that are 50-plus years old. At this rate, to finally track down all the events that have ever been run at the old bullring is akin to finding a needle in the proverbial haystack.
The micro-film has to rate right up with a root canal in trying to find all the winners in all the different divisions that have competed locally all those years ago. Therefore, my plans on the book I'm hoping to complete is to pretty much draw from the more recent history. It's hopefully going to be a read that will help even the most adamant fans get to know a little bit more about their favorite drivers over the last 20 or so years and hopefully a lot of those drivers and fans from back in the day can recall special events that made the famed track special to them.
My reasoning for taking on such a daunting task is really pretty much twofold
First, in my opinion, I think it would be pretty special for a lot of the long-time fans to harken back to the days when life seemed so much simpler. Those days when open trailers were the rule rather than the exception.
I'd love nothing more than to hear the likes of Bob Kinser recollecting those days when he and Dick Gaines would fight tooth and nail each and every race night. The same with Elliott and Dave Darland and the rivalry those two put on week in and week out.
More recently a couple intense rivalries that come to mind was watching 2011 Thunder Car track champion and Chris Hunter and those spirited dog fights that he and the always-tough James Headley put on a couple of season ago. Just this last season, watching Craig Walker, Lee Hobbs and Landon Miller scrap with the Street Stock "Superman," Lee Hobbs, and his domination of that division the last two years.
As a matter of fact, during the entire 2011 campaign, Walker and popular veteran Glen Gamblin were the only drivers aside from Hobbs to find Victory Lane.
Let's face it, according to several internet on-line polls, Kokomo is rated among the, if not the best race track in not only the state of Indiana, but across the Midwest as well.
My other hope is that if, and when, this book is published it might well be the catalyst that brings out a new breed of race fans. With so many different forms of entertainment out there vying for folks' hard-earned money, it seems like it is pretty much the same crowd that frequents the track each and every week.
My hope is that many of us, the die-hard fans who attend the races at the track each week, rain or shine, cold or hot, can introduce some new folks to the sport we all care for so dearly. Over the years dirt track racing has taken a bad rap and to be honest, some of the criticism has been justified. Years back it wasn't a bit uncommon to see the beer flowing and in a lot of cases fists flying.
The comment I can't help but chuckle about each time I hear it is how those who don't attend dirt track events perceive those who do. I've been called everything from a "hilljack" to a "redneck" by folks who have no clue as to what they are missing out on by not visiting any of the local tracks. Yet those same people will go on and on about how great NASCAR is and how much they follow the sport.
Just a couple of weeks ago when NASCAR was at the Martinsville Speedway, I looked over the starting lineup it was amazing to me how many of the drivers who were taking part in what is considered the pinnacle all the up and coming drivers strive for were at one time or another regular competitors at Kokomo, Gas City, Eldora, Lawrenceburg and just about any other dirt track in the country.
Right now, the closest thing to a professional sport here in Kokomo is the Kokomo Speedway. Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, Tony Stewart, Dave Blaney, Mike Bliss, Ken Shrader, Kenny Wallace, John Andretti and J.J. Yeley are just a few drivers who are now NASCAR regulars that used to compete regularly here at the local oval. Another driver, 2009 sprint car champion at Kokomo, Cole Whitt, was in the points battle for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series last year before signing with Dale Earnhardt, Jr. to pilot NASCAR's Most Popular Driver's Nationwide Series entry. Kyle Larson, who competed with Jeff Walker early in the 2011 campaign at the track, just recently signed a deal with the Ganassi/Earnhardt team and could very well be the next Jeff Gordon, gauging by his success in whatever he gets behind the wheel of.
So, to the fans who make the local tracks a weekly ritual, thank you for all your support. For the NASCAR fans who tend to look down your nose at the local bullrings, give it a try. In all likelihood, one or more of the drivers you see on the track will probably be on your television competing at the next level very soon.

On the plus side, all those poor souls who bought Gomez jerseys back in the day can easily have them re-named
baseball is way worse. They had arod and teixeira shirts they day after they were signed in models

Six Lessons from Sochi on Client Relations
Much like Olympic events, business communications programs involve both artful and impeccable technical execution of strategic events -- from client relationships to media outreach. Our Olympics-inspired blog series features medal-worthy best practices to implement as part of your broader program.
With the NFL season now over, the NBA in mid-season doldrums, the NHL on hiatus for the Olympics and MLB spring training still a few weeks away, we've arrived at the dead zone of sports viewing. So, we turn our attention to the Sochi Winter Olympic Games.
There was plenty of news leading up to Sochi and virtually all of it bad. Tales of corruption, construction delays, terrorist threats, mass roundups and presumed killing of stray animals and the Russian government's inexcusable stance on gay and lesbian lifestyles set up an environment just ripe for a crisis. Heck, each of those would be a HUGE crisis by itself if the games were in the U.S. And when the reporters from around the world arrived to find their living conditions ranging from comical to downright disgusting -- which they immediately broadcast to the world through social media -- you could say that this has to be THE case study for crisis communications.
But I'm not going to talk about that. That would be easier than shooting fish in barrel. Instead let's look at what we can learn from the events and athletes competing in the games as it relates to client relations management.
- Preparation. Every athlete has put thousands of hours preparing for this moment. They've put everything they have into giving themselves the best chance of competing at their top level and possibly winning. They've trained, studied their competition and analyzed the track/course/surface they will be competing on. They are striving to leave nothing to chance. This is a good lesson for starting out on the right foot with your client and keeping them happy over the long term. Demonstrating that you are always doing the extra things to understand them, their markets, who matters to them and anticipating their needs sets a great foundation for success.
- Planning. As we watch these athletes compete we marvel at their strength, agility, reflexes and courage. It's easy to forget the mental part of their game, which is planning. The skiers, snowboarders, skaters and sledders all come into their races or competitions with very specific plans of attack to maximize their chance for victory. Same holds true in working with clients. Working collaboratively in mapping out a strategy, tactics and specific goals keeps the overall program on task and ensures that both the client and the agency are on the same page.
- Adjusting. Once the competition begins the athletes are constantly encountering new variables. Those who can adjust the fastest are often the ones at the podium holding the gold. Flexibility and quick adjustments to communications activities is essential in today's business world. Reacting quickly to a competitor or handling a crisis requires nimble thinking and an ability to conceive and implement new programs and tactics.
- Managing risk. The addition of the extreme sports to the Olympics has ramped up the risk factor significantly. But risk has always been part of the equation for these athletes. To win they know they must often push themselves to the brink of disaster to win. Similarly, agencies must often push clients to think differently, which can make them uncomfortable. Asking clients to take chances, i.e., calculated risks, which will take them out of their comfort zone is a requirement.
- Managing expectations. There are thousands of athletes competing for a few medals. Most of them know that they won't get one, but they compete anyway. Why? Because it's what they do and they want to do it the best they possible can and then live with the results. Working with clients to define a clear set of achievable goals is essential. We all want that gold medal equivalent -- the company profile in the Wall Street Journal -- but for most companies that is just not possible given their situation. But other kinds of results that connect them to their customers and prospects is victory as well.
- Celebrating success. While the medal ceremonies honor the top three athletes/teams we all know that it also took many others to help make it happen -- family, friends, coaches, trainers, officials and even competitors. The best of these take the time to recognize this fact. Agencies should see themselves as the support team and their client as the athlete. The client's success is the agency's success. In turn, the best clients know that it takes a great support team at the agency to achieve their goals and recognizes them for it.
As the Sochi games have unfolded, many of the crisis issues I outline above have faded into the background and viewers now focus on the competitions and the athletes. With many events yet to begin, I'm sure we'll see these client relations practices play themselves out many times. I'll be looking for some new ones. What about you? Can you think of some others you've seen? If so, tell me about them.

netmeg, thanks for the Panda refresh news.
We saw some ranking and traffic improvements on Monday for a Panda hit site which seem to have stuck (up 1 or 2 places on first page results, up from page 10 to page 4/5 for some 1 or 2 word terms). Not a huge improvement in traffic but hopefully it's all a sign we're heading in the right direction.
Some terms that improved on Monday have improved further today however, so perhaps it will take a few days to settle (he said, clutching at straws!).

Most superfood are actually very normal food that we consume almost without any thoughts and become superfood only when some angmoh company decided to teach us Asian and the world how to eat them and make them; the angmoh company get rich in the process. So we have mangosteen juice costing $80 a bottle, acai berries and Chinese Wolfberries (Goji) costing an arm and leg. Then there is Chia Seeds - one of the latest superfood. Thankfully, the Chia Seeds appears to be pretty reasonably priced in comparison, about S$15 for 250 gm. And even more so, Basil Seeds have not gotten on to the spotlight of the angmoh and is still cheaply available.
Chia Seeds (image from Wikipedia) |
Chia Seeds (Silvia Hispanic) originally comes from Mexico but Australia is the biggest producer in the world. Chia Seeds was popularised by Christopher McDougall in his book "Born to Run" and has become some sort of cult food for runners. Chia Seeds looks a little like sesame seeds and comes in either brown, black, white or grey. It expands when soak in liquid and is commonly added to pudding, juices and salad.
Chia Seeds are rich in Omega 3 and calcium and according to some websites, a respectable amount of antioxidants.
Another website list the benefit of Chia Seeds as:
- Heart Health
- Increase Energy
- Relief From Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Feeling Good
- Anti Aging
- Regulated Blood Pressure
- Reducing Menopause Symptoms
- Gastro-intestinal Health
- Bone Health
- Mental Health
- Control Of Type ll Diabetes
- Prenatal Health
- Breast Health
- Prostate Health
Basil Seeds |
Then, there is the Basil Seeds (Ocimum basilicum) Basil Seeds looks almost like the Chia Seeds but is found in the Mediterranean and Asia. In this region, it is consumed mainly by the Indian and is added to juice and desserts.
It supposedly have antioxidant, antiviral and antimicrobial properties. Potentially it can be used to treat cancer. According to one website, it can aids in digestion, treats cold, cure respiratory disorder, is a stress reliever and is good for treatment of skin infection.
So there you have it. 2 super food that is cheap, easy to eat without needing any preparation and full of health benefits.
What are you waiting for? Add them when making jelly, agar agar, add to juice, tea, milk, sprinkle onto salad, bread, throw them into rice, side dishes etc.
NB: Information obtained mainly from Wikipedia.

Historic toilets of the world
Needless to say, my five-year-old son loved this. Imagine, getting to make toilet jokes under the guise of education! This chair that lifts up to reveal a chamber pot especially impressed him until he noticed the yellow stains.
Being the highbrow kind of guy I am, I'm always interested to see historic toilets. These don't get mentioned in history books much, and are generally not displayed in museums, which makes this exhibition a pleasant surprise. That such an important day-to-day item is blotted out of history tells us something about how the past is written and presented.
The sharp-eyed traveler can still discover privies from the past. Many survive in Roman archaeological sites. Ephesus has well-preserved Roman latrinae consisting of a stone benches with holes in them. Housesteads Roman Fort along the Hadrian's Wall Path has a military toilet that gets lots of attention from younger visitors. The Romans had running water to clean these commodes.
They weren't the first, however. The Neolithic settlement of Skara Brae in the Orkney Islands had flush toilets 5,000 years ago. The ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro in Pakistan had toilets at around the same time. More modern toilets can be of interest too. In Addis Ababa, the Institute of Ethiopian Studies is housed in one of Haile Selassie's palaces. The tour takes you through his private chambers, where you can visit the Imperial bathroom and see his baby blue toilet and bidet. Sadly, they don't let you take photos.
Loo lovers will want to check out the Museum Für Historische Sanitärobjeckte in Gmunden, Austria. This toilet museum has probably the largest collection in the world. There's a great gallery of photos here.
At Your Convenience is open until September 3.

One of my toys
I built a .45 cal black powder pistol from a kit about 35 years ago. It is a Patriot .45. Was an interesting experience. I was into the 1830 era Mountain Men experience. I also made a Thompson .45 cal Hawkins rifle (which I still have). I kept the same caliber for both so I wouldn't have to worry about different balls.
Here is a photo of the Patriot. http://sports.webshots.com/photo/212...04782481Yjvixy |
Re: One of my toys
I have a 50 cal Pistol my son bought me last year for fathers day. Very fun to shoot. The recoil is like my 44 mag.
Re: One of my toys
Beautiful job, now lets see some smoke roll ! ;):thumbsup:
Re: One of my toys
looks good, my dad and I built T/C .50 rifles years ago, they shoot well; taken many deer with mine. I built the Hawken, my dad built a Renegade. Kits were about 90% fitted already but being that my dad is a master woodworker, we spent about a month or so doing the stocks.
I have a .44 similar to that in a Jukar, also percussion, wanting to get a flintlock pistol next in .45 cal, I'm partial to flint. paid $15 for the Jukar when I was 17 from a guy I shot with, just missing the end cap brass piece is all. Need to refinish both the wood and metal, mine doesn't look anywhere near that good! |
Re: One of my toys
Very nice workmanship. Looks great. Function and beauty all in one. :)
Re: One of my toys
super nice work,these pistols have gone out of sight since they are no longer made.its hard to find one for sale.old semperfi

Disney/Pixar has been showing snippets of the pivotal archery scene from the animated film "Brave" in various previews since the end of last year. And now you can essentially see the scene in its entirety, which features the lead character Merida shooting for her own hand. "Brave" is expected to be this weekend's top picture, though it could face some competition from "Madagascar 3," which is showing good staying power at the box office, pulling in more than $119 million in its first two weeks of release.
"Brave" opens Friday.

Suffolk Police Sgt. Scott Greene accused of targeting, robbing Hispanic drivers
HAUPPAUGE - A Suffolk County police sergeant is accused of targeting Hispanic drivers during traffic stops and then robbing them.
Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota today announced the arrest of Sgt. Scott A. Greene on charges of official misconduct and larceny, and officials say those charges could be upgraded to include hate charges. Greene allegedly pulled over several Hispanic motorists and stole cash from them.
Spota said police set up a sting using a "bait car" equipped with video cameras to catch Greene stealing from an undercover Latino cop. Greene was arrested last night in Coram by detectives after he was allegedly caught on camera stealing a $100 bill during the sting.

Greene, of Shirley, is a 25-year veteran of the force. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment today and was released on his own recognizance.
Officials tell News 12 there have been three confirmed cases, but they believe there could be more. Anyone who has information is urged to contact Suffolk police.

Business Daily from THE HINDU group of publications Friday, Dec 22, 2006 ePaper |
Industry & Economy
Cement Web Extras - Excise and Customs Commerce Ministry favours excise duty cut for cement sector Our Bureau New Delhi , Dec. 21 The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has favoured a reduction in Central excise duty on the cement sector in the run-up to the coming Budget. "If cement production and demand have to increase, the duties have to be rationalised," the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) Secretary, Mr Ajay Dua, said at the annual session of the Cement Manufacturers' Association here on Thursday. Mr Dua said the DIPP had taken up the issue last year with the Finance Ministry. "We are certainly willing to support rationalisation of Central excise duty on cement and it should not continue at the current level," he added. He said that about 30 per cent of the sale price is accounted for by Central and State-level taxes against 20 per cent in China and 10 per cent in Malaysia. "Taxes need to be brought down to the level of China," he added. The support was much more required in case of Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), where use of fly ash is more than 20 per cent, he said. The Secretary asked the industry to submit its proposals to DIPP within three to four days so that it could be taken up further with the Finance Ministry. On the issue of extraordinary rise in prices, he added that the increase must be gradual and in line with rise in raw material prices.
Asking the industry to find resources other than internal surplus to fund its expansion plan, Mr Dua said that he was hopeful that the industry would be able to grow at a rate of 11-11.5 per cent in the Eleventh Plan. Given the nature of capital market and buoyancy in the banking sector, the Secretary said financing the industry's expansion plans would not be a matter of concern.
Mr Dua said coal requirement for this sector would double from 29 million tonnes to 58 mt to meet the demand for future expansion. "While priority is given to the steel and power sectors in allotment of coal blocks, it should be ensured that inferior blocks are not allotted to the cement sector," he said.

Trail conditions are "reasonably good" according to Dave Olson at the Boise National Forest. There is one washout on Trail 340 about a half mile from the junction with Forest Service Road 167. Otherwise, riders can expect early season conditions include ruts, water on trails, some mud and possible even snowdrifts in isolated spots. Most trail maintenance will begin later this month, Olson said. Don't forget to buy your 2012 OHV sticker.

Hi: 12° Lo:1° 7 day
MORE than half of dementia cases across Redditch and Bromsgrove are going undiagnosed according to new figures.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has released statistics for every area as part of a state of the nation report into dementia care in a bid to encourage residents to put pressure on local health organisations to drive up standards.
In Redditch and Bromsgrove just 46.8 per cent of dementia cases are diagnosed, meaning potentially hundreds of people are living without medication to help deal with their condition and families going without support.
The picture is worse in other parts of the county as the figure is just 40.8 per cent in South Worcestershire and 45 per cent in Wyre Forest. In contrast in parts of neighbouring Birmingham diagnosis rates are over 60 per cent.
It is estimated about 7,400 people in Worcestershire are living with dementia and the figure is set to soar by 69 per cent to over 12,000 by 2026.
Coun Marcus Hart, responsible for health and well-being on Worcestershire County Council and chairman of the Worcestershire Health and Well-being board, called the figures disappointing adding they would be looking at the data closely with health partners to ensure early diagnosis rates improved.
He said it was crucial people with dementia had the right access to information, services and care from well-trained staff which was being delivered through the council's training programme for care home workers, with ten care homes so far having achieved the Worcestershire Dementia Standard.
"There is growing awareness and evidence of how Assistive Technology can support people with dementia, and other conditions causing memory loss, maintain their independence, as this is an area the local authority is pioneering," he said.
"Our aim is that residents can continue to enjoy living independently within their communities with whatever support is appropriate for themselves and their loved ones. We are continuously looking at ways of improving care throughout the whole dementia journey."
In 2010 Worcestershire Health and Care Trust launched its Early Intervention Dementia Service which so far has seen 2,000 people receive an early and timely diagnosis and last week won an NHS award. Worcestershire is also one of the few areas in the country with a countywide admiral nursing service.
Dr Bernie Coope, senior consultant at the Trust, said: "In this way we ensure those affected are better prepared to accept the diagnosis and take an active role in planning their own care and it's our job to shape the service around those needs and preferences, which usually involve care at home, in a familiar environment close to friends and family."

- Noted Thai businessman, politician and private pilot Anutin Charnvirakul steps up to the TBM 850 very fast turboprop
Tarbes, France, June 27, 2012 – DAHER-SOCATA today announced the delivery of a Model Year 2012 TBM 850 Elite to Anutin Charnvirakul – a leading figure in Thai business and politics.
As a passionate and active private pilot, the 46-year-old Charnvirakul owned several aircraft prior to his decision acquire the TBM 850 very fast turboprop. After taking the delivery from DAHER-SOCATA, he entered the company's TBM training course at Tarbes, France to become rated on his new aircraft, and will fly it back to Thailand in late June.
"After having owned single-engine piston aircraft, a turboprop-powered airplane was most obvious choice to step up for me – as it is more versatile than a jet and offers great flexibility in airports where it can be operated," Charnvirakul explained. "After a search process, my advisors said the TBM 850 was best suited for me because of its performance and its quality of construction. I'm now really looking forward to going back home in my new TBM 850 – which will be the flight of a lifetime."
Charnvirakul is a well-known personality in Thailand, having been a former Deputy Minister of Public Health and Commerce. Today, he is Chairman of Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction PLC, and the developer of Rancho Charnvee – the first golf course in Thailand's Khao Yai mountain region, which opened in 2010 with a landing strip.
"Delivering Thailand's first TBM 850 to a leading personality such as Anutin Charnvirakul is an important step as DAHER-SOCATA expands its Asia-Pacific activities in a region where we foresee increased activity and growth for our aviation business," explained Stéphane Mayer, the President and CEO of DAHER-SOCATA.
"We are extremely proud that Anutin Charnvirakul selected the TBM 850 Elite, as his new means of air transportation," said Nicolas Chabbert, the Senior Vice-President of DAHER-SOCATA's Airplane Division. "We're particularly honored by his acknowledgement of the very fast turboprop's quality and performance."
The TBM 850 is the world's fastest single-engine turboprop, with a maximum cruise speed of 320 KTAS at 26,000 ft. (in ISA conditions). As an 850-shp. version of DAHER-SOCATA's proven six-seat TBM 700 turboprop business aircraft, the TBM 850 combines cruise speeds and travel times typical of light jets with the economical direct operating costs of a turboprop, along with excellent range and payload capacity.
Charnvirakul's aircraft is the latest TBM 850 version, and includes the pilot door option. His aircraft also will be outfitted with the new middle seats that can be oriented in a forward-facing position – allowing the cabin to be reconfigured in a four-seat arrangement; thereby increasing the luggage volume capacity by three and doubling the maximum luggage weight.
Additionally selected by Charnvirakul for the TBM 850 is Garmin's GSR 56 Iridium satellite transceiver option – giving worldwide access to quality on-demand weather information and text/voice communications.
Charnvirakul will benefit as well from DAHER-SOCATA's Exclusive Maintenance Program that covers scheduled maintenance costs for the original retail customer through the aircraft's fifth annual inspection, or up to 1,000 total flight hours – whichever comes first.
Since its 2005 launch, the TBM 850 has become an international success – with more 271 aircraft delivered as of May 31, 2012. The combined TBM 700 and TBM 850 fleet now stands at 595 units worldwide.

Breed Organization Information
Percheron Horse Association of America

About the Breed
Except for the recent past, the history of the Percheron breed is not exactly clear. The Percheron Horse did originate in the province of Le Perche, near Normandy, France. The ancestors of the modern day Percheron served as war horses carrying knights into battle instead as draft animals in the field. Those horses were light, sure-footed and spirited. As agricultural pursuits began to take precedence over battles, these horses were bred more for size, weight and strength. The French, however, kept very few records regarding breeding which allows for speculation on the breeds true origins.
It is widely believed that the Arabian horse played an important role in the development of the Percheron. By the time of the crusades, the Percheron breed was widely recognized as outstanding for his substance and soundness, as well as for his characteristic beauty and style.
By the 17th century horses produced in Le Perche had attained widespread notoriety and were in demand for many different uses. The Percheron of this time showed less scale and easily adapted to pulling the heavy mail coaches of France. They stood from 15 to 16 hands high at this time.
In the early 19th century the French government established a stud at Le Pin for the development of army mounts. In 1823, a horse named Jean La Blanc was foaled in Le Perche and all of today's Percheron bloodlines trace directly to this horse.
Edward Harris of Moorestown, New Jersey first imported Percherons to the United States in 1839. Although in his two attempts to import eight Percheron horses to America, only two survived the journey, a mare named Joan and a stallion called Diligence. These two horses helped establish the Percheron breed in America. Diligence reportedly sired over 400 foals with three of his being recorded among the foundation stock in the first American Percheron stud book in 1876.
No other Percheron importations were recorded until 1851. The stallions, Normandy, Gray Bill and Louis Napoleon, were imported in that year. Louis Napoleon had a profound effect on the Percheron breed in America and its owners were instrumental in the forming of the Percheron Association in 1876.
Thousands of Percherons were imported to Americans in the last half of the 19th century, and importations continued up until World War II. The Percheron quickly became the favorite of both the American farmer and the teamster who would move freight on the nation's city streets.
The Percheron was so popular that by 1930, the government census showed that they were three times as many registered Percherons as the other four draft breeds combined. Following World War II, the invention of the modern farm tractor made the breed nearly extinct. As America modernized and mechanized, the Percheron was all but forgotten. However, a handful of farmers including many Amish, dedicated to the preservation of the breed, kept it alive through the next twenty years of the draft horse depression which lasted through the 1950s and 1960s.
The late 1960s saw a renaissance in the draft horse business as Americans rediscovered the usefulness of the draft horse. Today, Percherons are back on small farms and working in the fields and thousands of are used for recreation such as hayrides, sleigh rides and parades.
Percherons are shown in competition hitching, halter and riding classes at many state and local fairs across the country. They are also used in advertising and the promotion of other businesses. The Percheron is also a common sight on many city streets as the carriage business flourishes.
Breed Characteristics
The Percheron is usually gray or black. The gaits are supple and light; the head is fine with a square, wide forehead, long, thin ears, a lively eye, straight nose and wide nostrils; the neck is long with an abundant mane and the throat is thin. The withers are well set; the shoulder is well slanted; the chest is wide and deep with a somewhat prominent breast bone; the back is short and straight and very strong; the ribs are rounded; the girth is low with full flanks; the hip is long as is the croup; and the tail is set high. The limbs are sound and clean, well set with a powerful forearm and wide and muscular thighs. The buttocks are low; the knees wide and straight in line with the shoulder. The cannon bones are wide, flat and strong; the pasterns are clean and strong and the feet are good. The average height is between 14.3 to 16.1 hands.
Breed Organizations
In 1876, a group of Percheron breeders met in Chicago, Illinois, and formed the Norman-Percheron Association and the first stud book was started. This was the first purebred livestock association formed in the United States. The following year the name Norman was dropped. In 1905, Percheron breeders again met in Chicago and formed the Percheron Horse Society of America, the name by which the association was known for the next thirty years. In 1934, the present association, the Percheron Horse Association of America, was formed as a non-profit organization. At its height the Percheron Association registered in excess of 10,000 head per year and was the largest draft horse association in the world.

Title | Text Structure Instruction and Metacognition: Supporting Early Childhood Student Teachers in their Academic Work. |
Author | Wegner, Ali; Bartlett, Brendan John |
Journal Name | The International Journal of Learning |
Editor | Bill Cope & Mary Kalantzis |
Year Published | 2008 |

Publisher | Common Ground Publishing Pty Ltd |
Abstract | This article reports on findings of two studies in which text structure instruction was provided for student teachers specialising in early childhood education. Participants learned to identify text structure and were guided over an academic semester in using that skill to deliberately frame their university studies. A replication study (Study 2) extended an investigation carried out the previous year for the doctoral thesis of the first author (Study 1). Findings of Study 2 confirm those reported earlier. Learning to identify the organisational structure of text and using that knowledge strategically enhances learners' metacognition, motivation, and self-confidence. |

A well thought out review of Maranda Elizabeth's Telegram Anthology.
Originally posted on What Hannah Read:
This is a beautiful, inspiring, absorbing book. It isn't a traditional novel, nonfiction tome or memoir but instead a collection of self-published zines (if you're unsure what a zine is, then google is your friend) which were handcrafted by the author themself. As a result, the look of the book's pages are much prettier than that of an "ordinary" book, with text written on typewriters, computer and by hand and cute hand-drawn illustrations and embellishments, as well as cut-and-paste images. The text is the collection's main focus though: Maranda Elizabeth puts a lot of time and effort into crafting their words – and it shows. As an established reader of personal zines (or perzines, as they are commonly known) I know that Maranda's are among the most popular of the genre, and reading this it is easy to understand why – there is thought and depth in every sentence. Maranda Elizabeth's style is clever yet easy to read, and I hope their novel is also published soon as I cannot wait to devour it!
What is Telegram about, then? It's about mental health, the concept of home, the art of writing, friendship, introversion, sobriety, letters, gender, being a twin and many more things besides. Maranda Elizabeth has produced several issues of Telegram a year for almost a decade, so it is more than a wee bit like reading their (very well-written) journal, taking a glimpse into their life from late teens to twenties and following the ups and downs they experienced in this time; including roadtrips, hospitalizations, moving out of their hometown to a city, then back again, then back to the city once more; deciding to quit alcohol and identifying as genderqueer. There really is too much in this book for me to be able to do the content justice.

Please be respectful. Respect is #1 here at DF Please read our Guidelines of Conduct
Perhaps just more verbose. I've noticed, though, that this discussion often suggests that people believe VZW or Motorola can simply "enhance" the network or phone to provide the dual functionality. The sad fact is that all design involves compromises (much like marriages) and Verizon decided a long time ago that the advantages of a CDMA network outweighed its disadvantages.
Curmudgeon Member of Rescue Squad
I've read several places, this thread included about the LTE network, I am going to look it up for more information... But I was curious if we could get a response from YOU(jsh1120) what LTE is and what the differences will be if this thing gets off the ground.
It's nice to have info in one spot, I suppose
I had a nice signature, but the mean ate it.
If I sound like I know what I'm talking about on these issues, it's more of a testament to having stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night than any real expertise. But from what I understand, here are the basics...
LTE simply stands for "Long Term Evolution" of mobile network standards. Overall, its major objective is not to provide better service to consumers (at least not directly), but to reduce costs and increase performance for carriers. Lower equipment costs, increased numbers of users on cell towers, faster transmission, simpler architecture, etc.
In effect it's an effort to bring the fractured technologies of multiple versions of GSM and CDMA together in a single more comprehensive set of standards. It's "backwards compatible" in the sense that the older technologies can run in a 4G/LTE environment, but the hardware designed for those technologies cannot take advantage of the enhancements that LTE offers. But since the product life span of cell phones is so short, that's not viewed as a problem but as an opportunity to sell more phones.
Of course all of this will require the retrofitting of new equipment on existing cell phone towers, as well. And that's why it cannot simply be "turned on" for the new phones.
Furthermore, it's important to understand that all of this development is not being driven primarily by the issues that concern US cell phone users. We constitute a very small slice of the potential market. Rather, it's part of a much larger transition away from "wired" to "wireless" communication throughout the world where it enables (what we once called) "developing" nations to skip the entire build-out of a wired communication network.
Thus, features like the greater range of cell links in rural areas and greater capacity of cells in dense urban areas that LTE promises are far more important in a country like India or China than in the US. This, in turn, means that the potential market for phones that take advantage of 4G technology in such countries dwarfs that of the US.
Curmudgeon Member of Rescue Squad
Yes, on conference calls I occasionally check email or calendars, even compose an email. Works great while on WiFi.
anytime I've been on the phone with someone and they tell me to hold on so they can check the internet on their phone I just hang up. You can do that on your own time, not mine.
Thanks jsh, so many things are supposed to crop up 'soon' so I do my best to understand them lol
I had a nice signature, but the mean ate it.
Not entirely sure if this is in reference to my response to the OP regarding LTE. If it was, at no point did I say it was "simple" or a mere "enhancement" to provide the functionality. My intention was to pass along the fact that Verizon is currently building out their LTE network and it could possibly have this available to him future. I also informed him it would require new hardware.
If not directed at my post, nevermind, and apologies.
EDIT: Unfortunately you can't delete replies. jsh1120. please ignore me and disregard. It's been a long week. I need a vacation!!!

I liked Email Account while I had it. A few weeks ago, for no reason, I was not allowed access and told that my account was "suspended" and that I should contact my administrator. What administrator? I had important information in my account which is now lost to me and no way of contacting anyone at emailaccount.com about this. (read more)

Cell Phone Towers That Look Like Trees
Have you noticed cell phone towers in your area? Do they look like cell phone towers or do the cell phone towers look like trees? Check the cell phone tower locations to see.
Cell Phone Towers -- Yeah, You Blend
Have you ever seen those cell phone towers that look like trees? I have lived in two states where cell phone towers have been camouflaged to look like trees.
I think they are hilarious because at first glance, they look like what they are meant to look like--an evergreen tree or a palm tree--but upon closer look, they are stiff and unnatural looking.
Case in point, these two "palm trees" are not really palm trees; they are cell phone towers. Two of them. Twin cell phone towers in Glendale, Arizona.
Real Palm Trees
Although the palm tree cell phone towers are good replicas, they are no match for the real thing. This is a real palm tree.
See the way the palm fronds are loose, swaying earthward? The trunk of the palm tree is not perfectly straight or nearly as dark brown. This is compared of course to the cell phone tower palm tree, which is just so fake!
Why Camouflage Cell Phone Towers?
When I first saw cell phone towers that were camouflaged, I wondered why they would do that? Why go to the trouble? But after seeing two kinds of trees--evergreen and palm trees--disguised as cell phone towers, it's obvious. They are more appealing to look at than the boring metal cell phone towers.
According to unmuseum.org in the article Cellular Deception, cell phone towers have cropped up across the country and are disguised as more than just trees.The following list contains where disguised cell phone towers can be found as discussed in the article:
- atop power line tower
- a fake modern church steeple
- a fake grain silo
- a fake rustic-looking water tower
For a peek at more cell phone towers that look like trees, check Good Environment.

Cell Phone Towers Disguised as Evergreen Trees
The first time I saw a cell phone tower that looked like a tree was in Colorado. I was driving along C-470 West of Denver heading into the mountains and lo and behold, there was this big fake-looking evergreen tree. I thought it was a joke of some kind. I mean, it really looked fake.
At second glance, I saw the big bars or whatever they are called at the top and knew it had to be some sort of antenna or something. I wasn't sure what it was but when I asked friends, they said, "Oh yeah, those trees are really cell phone towers."
Since moving to Phoenix, I've seen evergreen tree cell phone towers here, too. One is off the I-10 on the west side of the freeway on the south edge of Phoenix.
The following YouTube video shows one of the evergreen tree cell phone towers up close and personal.

What do you think of disguised cell phone towers?
I rarher look at something like a tree tower than the plain ones.
Mike, you're right. They look silly up close sometimes, but these cell phone towers do blend in from a distance.
Seems as a nice idea. Even if they look fake it is a much fitting addition to the local environment.
I like the palm tree towers, but those wouldn't work in New Hampshire! They are still pretty fake looking, so I say, why bother with the disguise?
Personally, I think that it's kind of nice that they at least took the trouble to try to make these towers look a little more pleasing to the eye.
I had no idea these existed til now. A great idea. Ok you spot them if you're looking for them, but they blend into the background pretty well. I wonder if there is a way of doing something similar for wind turbines and solar panels?
I hadn't heard about disguised wind turbines. Interesting! Thanks for your comment.
This is such a good idea, because this way the cell phone towers almost blend in with the landscape. They are now going to do the same with wind turbines, almost the same. they will plant trees around them so that these turbines look a bit like trees and don't stand out so much in the landscape,
That is really cool. I haven't seen them disguised in my area. But then I wouldn't know because they are disguised. :)
So original!I like your attitude.

Update: SAP ports its Business Suite to HANA
ERP software will be running on top of SAP's HANA in-memory database later this year, as vendor targets Oracle, IBM and Microsoft
IDG News Service - SAP's flagship Business Suite enterprise resource planning (ERP) software can now run on top of the HANA in-memory database, in a move that stands to open new frontiers of competition with the likes of Oracle, IBM and Microsoft.
The announcement, which was made Thursday, had been expected for some time. Business Suite on HANA is currently in RTC (release to customers) mode, SAP's preferred term for a beta period. General availability should come toward the middle of this year, executive board member and technology chief Vishal Sikka said in an interview prior to the announcement.
SAP has positioned HANA as an eventual convergence point for all its technologies, as well as a simpler yet more sophisticated alternative to existing architectures. A recent update to HANA added an application server that runs within the system, and SAP is also building out a set of PaaS (platform as a service) capabilities for the database.
But the Business Suite compatibility for HANA will give SAP an opportunity to take business away from rival database vendors, whose products SAP customers now use widely underneath the Suite.
All database platforms currently certified for the Suite will continue to be supported, however, according to SAP.
Still, it seems clear that SAP, which has resold other companies' databases for years, would rather have a larger share of the pie.
In the past, SAP's competitors "tried to portray HANA as an analytic database," Sikka said. With compatibility for transactional applications like the Business Suite, "we are disproving that in a big way," he added.
But with HANA, Business Suite customers will be able to run analytic and transactional workloads in the same platform, he added. Business Suite users will also enjoy a major gain in processing power, but it's not just speed for speed's sake, Sikka said. For example, an MRP (manufacturing resource planning) batch processing job that might take six hours today could run in seconds on HANA. "I imagine a world where [manufacturing planning] can be based on precise calculations of demand, on the fly," he said.
SAP will roll out a fixed-price Rapid Deployment Solution for Business Suite on HANA in the first quarter, which will enable customers to go live within six months.
In addition, SAP has tweaked the pricing model for Business Suite on HANA, basing the cost of HANA usage on a percentage of the customer's application maintenance fees.
However, HANA is sold as a specialized appliance on hardware from a number of vendors, so would-be Business Suite customers will also have to factor those acquisition costs into account.
SAP has sold HANA Enterprise Edition according to the amount of RAM in the appliance. The licensing model for the Suite on HANA was influenced by DSAG, the German-speaking SAP User Group, according to an announcement it released Thursday.

Minimal-axiom characterizations of the Coleman and Banzhaf indices of voting power
Coleman [Coleman, J.S., 1971. Control of collectives and the power of a collectivity to act. In: Lieberman, B. (Ed.), Social Choice. Gordon and Breach, New York, pp. 269-298] suggested two indices of voting power, power to prevent an action and power to initiate an action. This paper develops two-axiom (and hence, minimal) characterizations of both the indices. We also show that similar characterizations can be done for other indices.Download Info

Howls at 7,604 total yards … Longest course in Nevada … Come take a bite. The newest and most difficult, also known as the signature course, leads the pack but golfers can temper the challenge with its five tee options. The most difficult layout at The Paiute also holds the record as the longest course in Nevada. Marrying remarkable length with raw beauty, the course is infamous for its severe undulations, alternate landing areas, and a stunning 15th hole island green.
Aim left on this downhill par 3 to avoid the waste bunker forty feet below the green to the right. A smart tee shot is to the left part of the green and let the slope push it back to the center.

My Outfit Monday: Black, white and neon orange all over
On the way out of the house this morning, on what I knew would be a crazy busy day full of deadlines and interviews, I thought to myself, "Self, better take a back-up mirror selfie in case there's no time for posing leisurely in the grass against a light post." And lo, now it's 5 p.m. and it is coming in handy. My Outfit Monday, just under the wire!
I've been running to and fro in a brand new skirt from the Peter Pilotto collection for Target. I don't always run to the red bullseye for every designer collabo, but the guys at Peter P are among my favorite shape-makers in the game. I'm pleased with my faux-wrap skirt, how the panel in the front segregates the patterns without hurting your eyes too much. It's on clearance now for $24.48. I paired it with my black Express Portofino shirt (apparently a Deal Divas staple) and some tights on the final days of the year when it will be cool enough for tights.
It needed a pop of color, though, and since we're creeping ever so close to sprang break, I went for my patent leather Gianni Bini pumps in SAFETY SPRANG BREAK ORANGE. When I got on the elevator, some guy remarked, "Those are... bright." I agreed. …

There's been a steady drip of bad news about the recession's impact on Caribbean travel, but this one still comes as a bit of a shock: Travel Weekly reports that the Four Seasons Resort Great Exuma will close on May 26. The 183-room luxury resort on the Bahamas Out Island of Exuma opened in November 2003 and has been been in receivership since June 2007, but there had been hope that another ownership group would step in.
"No time indication can be given on how long it will be before a sale of the assets of the [Emerald Bay] master development is concluded or how long it will be before the master development reopens for business," said Devyani Puri, director of public relations for the Four Seasons Great Exuma resort, who nonetheless referred to the closing as "temporary."
Meanwhile, the neighboring Grand Isle Resort & Spa, a 78-room villa resort at Emerald Bay, remains open.
