He basically did it to make sasuke hate him so sasuke would become stronger and obtain the mangekyou so that he could take sasukes eyes to obtain a permanant and more powerful mangekyou sharingan
Fugaku Uchiha was the father of Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha. He strongly believed that Itachi was the clan's future, and did all in his power to help achieve this goal. As a result he often neglected Sasuke. Itachi often forced Fugaku to spend time with his youngest son, though even then his mind was always focused on Itachi. His wife, however, stated that Fugaku often spoke of Sasuke when they were alone. Once Itachi began to distance himself from the clan, he and Fugaku had a falling out. As a result, Fugaku began to spend more time with Sasuke, coming to consider him the pride of the clan. After training Sasuke in the Uchiha clan's more basic jutsu, he instructed his youngest son not to follow in Itachi's footsteps. Fugaku was later killed by Itachi.

Based off of recent manga revelations he killed his clan WITH the help of Madara Uchiha to do nothing more than "test his limits" which he told Sasuke when he left him alive that day. He gained the Mangekyo Sharingan by killing his best friend, Shisui Uchiha per instruction of Madara and he left Sasuke alive so that Sasuke would gain the Mangekyo Sharingan by killing naruto. Itachi did this so he could steal Sasuke's eyes giving Itachi an "Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan" Currently Sasuke and Itachi are battling for this right now in the manga.
So there you have it, the whole "reason".
Sup newbs, had to sign up to help you out here.
Itachi needed to prove hes skills, he wanted to know how tough he really is.
He didn't kill he's parents(..yet) just because he wanted Sasuke to see him killing them, to anger him, to have Sasuke hating him.
No, their parents didn't really favor Sasuke, rather Itachi. But as Sasuke was groving up they had high hopes for him. But Parents approval and acknowledge was everything to Sasuke, especially he's dads. They were important to Sasuke, not the opposite.
Why he left Sasuke alive? To get he's eyes in the future, to obtain the "unlimited" Mangekyo Sharingan. The one that will never blind you and have even greater power becasue of your own Mangekyo Sharingan and the sibling ones, also to obtain that it needs to be siblings eyes.
Btw, somewhere I read that Madara influenced Itachi to do so.
And those who don't undersatnd yet and read everything they belive, Madara ain't Tobi a.k.a. Obito.
Tobi is yes indeed Obito, but not Madara. Unless madara has shifted bodies. After Obito has grown up.
--off topic---
Madara aint Tobi(Obito) because he couldn't.
Madara fight with the 1st.
Obito learned under 4th, rater long period no?
Why was Obito such a duch and sucked then?
Why did he gave he's eye to kakashi?
And how the fk he could have been? He grew up in konoha!
In a way, it would make sense tho, Kakasi is using Mangekyo Sharingan vs Deidara to destroy hes arm with the worm hole.
How the heck would kakashi have it, kill hes best friend? No, they were Obitos(Madaras) old eyes. I think he didn't use it before because as a non-uchia he didnt' know who. I bet he learned in that time.
if you want more, email me and get more.
Obito only had the Sharingan before he died and thus anything further than that Kakashi developed on his own.
The "yet" reffered to Itachi...
He waited untill Sasuke arrived the room so Itachi could kill them under he's eyes. Ofcourse they are dead

Grants and Contracts Administration
The College of Engineering & Science Grants and Contract Administration Office (Post-Awards), serves in three primary roles for the college. The first is as a liason between the college Principle Investigators (PI's) and the University Grants & Contracts Administration office. The second is as a project manager for FUND 20 projects, and the thirds is as an auditor, serving as the point of contact for compliance issues at all levels.

Effective 2/24/2014, the procedure for transferring remaining project balances in fixed price contracts was incorporated into the policy on "Residual Balances in Fixed Price Contracts".
Remaining balances greater than 10% of the total original award require VPR approval prior to transfer. Full policy information can be found on the OSP website at http://media.clemson.edu/research/sponsored-programs/policies/residual_balances.pdf.
Clemson policy states that travel "outside the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada or Puerto Rico meets the definition of foreign travel and requires approval prior to departure."
U.S. Export Control regulations do apply to Canada; therefore, employees who travel to Canada must complete a foreign travel request form so the Export Control office can approve.
However, when submitting payment for Canada trips, out-of-state rates and account codes apply.
*Attach backup documentation to this form that shows your purpose for the trip (email, website, etc.).
*Give adequate time for approval prior to trip.
*Current routing/approval chain: PI->Department Head->CES Dean's Office->CES Post Awards->CES Dean's Office->CU Grants & Contracts Admin(GCA)->Export Control-> CU GCA->CES Dean's Office->Department/PI
*Departmental personnel should attach APPROVED FT form to appropriate expenditure documentation (VISA charge, travel voucher, etc).
Payments made to a foreign national (non-resident alien) for activities occurring within the U.S. may be taxable under the IRS Revenue Code.
Policy and Procedure regarding these activities are located in the Finance Division Business Manual.
Questions regarding policy or payment procedures should be directed to Mack Howard, Director of International Employment, at 864-656-5589.
Incentive cards may be used as a tool to meet the business purposes of the University. They can be used to support research study participants and for awards or prizes to support student activities. As cash-equivalent instruments, incentive cards are governed by internal control requirements and may be subject to tax reporting.

Be wary of processing corrections after the project end date. This could give the appearance of "zeroing out" remaining budget balances.
If corrections after the project end date are necessary, be sure to provide an adequate explanation.

End date of individual fund 20 projects. Your College contact person will coordinate with CU GCA.
If a no-cost extensions is needed, the request should be sent to GCA at least 30 days prior to the end date.
Confirmation of direct costs within 30 days after the end date if the project is closing. GCA's time frame is dependent on the type of sponsor. Final invoices and final financial reports must be submitted within the required time frame.
Fiscal Year End – 6/30 – All expenditures that are incurred prior to 6/30 should be charged to the fiscal year that is closing.

Tom is a carver who uses the scroll saw mostly to do cut outs for wood carvings. Because he regularly cuts thick material he produces a lot of dust. You can see in the pictures below that he built a dust collection system for his Delta scroll saw. The technique could easily be modified for most other saws. Tom used 1 inch PVC pipe. You can buy 45 degree and 90 degree elbow joints which is how he designed the system to point where it was needed.
I like the fact that it is an over/under system. Tom says it does a pretty good job getting most of the dust. You can't expect to get it all with any system.
Notice the T fitting for connection to a shop vac. Tom's vac hose fit snugly into the T but you might need an adapter to make yours fit if you want to try this system. You can also see the metal pipe clamps he used to hold the system in place.
He intentionally left the piping unglued so he can disassemble when necessary.
The over pick up has a bolt through it so not to suck in any large pieces. You really don't want anything too large getting into your shop vac. In this picture the pipe looks like its in the way of the cutting but that might just be the picture. I didn't get a chance to ask tom if this is easy to move out of the way.
I have tried to DIY dust collection systems over the years but I always come back to the same problem. I can't stand the noise of a shop vac while I cut for long periods. I have never found a safe way to dampen the noise so I have always just put up with the dust. If that is not a problem for you then this looks like it might be a reasonably effective DIY system. It's cheap, easy and Tom says it works.
Thanks for sharing Tom.

McCartney's iPad apps feature some of the musician's most popular albums -- Band on the Run, McCartney, McCartney II, RAM and Wings over America. Each iPad app contains premium content such as remastered audio tracks, archival video footage, interviews, photos and more. They are priced at $7.99, which makes them attractive to music fans who may prefer the discounted iPad apps over the more expensive music-only album versions.
McCartney may be the most long-standing successful musicians to adopt the iPad, but Björk holds the title as one of the first musicians to effectively promote an album using Apple's iOS ecosystem. Björk made headlines in 2011 for her groundbreaking Biophilia iPad app that merged music from the album with mini-games and interactive art tools. The title was recently inducted as the first app in New York's Museum of Modern Art permanent collection. The app also has been used to develop the Biophilia Educational Programme, which is being used as curriculum in several European schools.

"Come with me on a journey," filmmaker Chris Jordan says in the trailer below, "through the eye of beauty, across an ocean of grief, and beyond."
"Midway: A Love Story for Our Time From the Heart of the Pacific" is an independent, feature-length film that reveals "the plight of the Laysan albatross plagued by the ingestion of our plastic trash. Both elegy and warning," the movie's site says, "the film explores the interconnectedness of species, with the albatross on Midway as a mirror of our humanity."
The film was funded by donations and grants and is slated for release in late 2013. See more about it here, and watch the trailer and a segment on the plastic trash that contaminates the beaches of Midway Island, about 1,000 miles northwest of Honolulu, below.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

What you think is dangerous, we may not. I don't agree with you, and I don't think the STATE nor the GOVT needs to be telling us ... any of that.
If that's true.... and you like that argument you are making...... then we should NOT trust parents to be responsible enough with guns if they have children... they could get harmed. So, no parents with kids, can own guns anymore .... we don't want ANY of them being idiots and irresponsible where the kids could get their hands on those guns and be harmed or killed. We cannot trust that you will be responsible and have to protect your children from those of you that could be irresponsible and leave a gun out.
So, now,.... go turn in your guns please. Guns are dangerous. You know, if it were left up to certain people.... that would happen tomorrow.
You are making a lame argument.... based upon your biases where you want them, but not where you dont' want them. You want your freedoms and the Govt not to interfere with them, but rather quick to want to try arguing doing it to other people.
That's why the Govt & others, should not make the decisions and judgments for us.

|I have a Hoya with purplish-red and green leaves. Can you give me some suggestions about the variety so I can research it? Thanks.

|I wish everyone could post an exact photo any plant in question.
|Hmmm,,,a possibility might be Hoya lacunosa Royal Flush. Small leaves and color would depend on how much sun it receives. With more sun the leaves turn the deep plum and vine does too. Just a guess!,,,,Debbie

|I was thinking DS-70, which goes to show how inadequate the description provided is. LOL! A lacunosa cultivar is a good idea though.
Elsie, RFG is right, a picture is really needed for us to be able to help out much. MANY MANY Hoya leaves turn purplish red in moderate to high light. ^_^
If you purchased your Hoya at a big box store, you might consider going to the EA website and looking through their Hoya selection, as it is likely to be one of theirs.
Good luck!
|Maybe Krimson Queen?
|Are the leaves big or small? Hoya australis ssp. tenuipes new leaves are often dark red/burgundy.

|This post reminds me of the blind lady joke, where she is feeling an object to know what it is. Just post a pic or refer us to a pic pnline, paste and copy the html code. Thanks!
|Thanks for the suggestions. It turns out to be Hoya Carnosa tricolor.

Hart Lighting 1080 WaveForm LED Mini Pendant
Product Description
This mini pendant from Hart Lighting works with an LED light source.
Waveform is a truly original design. The beauty of woven steel combines with the drama of carefully focused LED light to create a luminaire that is as visually arresting as it is functional. A true marriage of form and function, this concept could only have been realized with LED. Each LED is married to a dedicated heat sink nicely concealed within a stylish housing. We also paid careful attention to visual comfort. That's why each LED is shielded by an internal honeycomb louver to reduce glare from virtually every viewing angle. Waveform in profile is razor thin, measuring less than 2" in depth on the pendants and less than 3" on the stunning ADA compliant wall bracket!
- Includes 3- 2.38w LED
- Total fixture watts: 7.5w
- 120/277v electronic dim-able driver standard
- Mounts to octagonal junction box or 4x4 junction box with round plaster adapter

Checking In. :)
Hi, everyone!
Its been awhile since I posted. I have been isolating myself unintentionally since I got my binge eating disorder last month, but I feel like its time to come back.
I have worked with my psychiatrist to come up with a plan that might work for me that incorporates both LC and JUDDD. It won't be either in a true sense in order to limit backlash of my eating disorder (in terms of being restricted on something, my ED will make me go out and eat 10 times as much of the things I feel I'm being deprived of). Here's what we came up with:
Up Days are to be unlimited in calories but limited in carbs, to around 40 per day. The idea is to eat a steady stream of fat/protein throughout the day, with the largest meal in the evening to combat night time/morning hunger.
Down Days are not limited in calories per se, but I am only allowed to eat one meal per day. So its a little like intermittent fasting, with the premise that it would be very hard to fit all of a person's BMR calories into a single meal. I am allowed to eat grains on a DD if I want, but it is limited to two servings total. This would include a dessert if I wanted one, say 1 cookie is equal to 1 serving of grains. This way, I can allow myself the things I crave in moderation, and it makes DD's a little easier to cope with if I know I can have a cookie at the end of it.
I started today as an UD. I made sure to include plenty of protein and fat to curb my hunger and keep me away from the college cafeteria that has the most scrumptious pizza I've ever eaten! :o
Breakfast consisted of:
8 strips of bacon, crispy
1/4 C onions and 1/3 C mushrooms sauteed in the leftover bacon grease
5 eggs, scrambled with the veggies and added 1.5 ounces of cheese to it. Topped it off with some sugar-free ketchup
I also had a diet cherry soda with a few tablespoons of grass-fed heavy cream.
I have noticed over the last few weeks a strange new thought pattern emerging. I have been constantly eating anything and everything I ever wanted to. The entire time, it felt like I was on some kind of strange diet, and I kept thinking that I couldn't wait to get back to *normal* eating, aka low-carb! What a swtich from how my mind worked a year ago, thinking that low-carb was the diet and I couldn't wait to get back to grain-heavy "normal" eating. :confused: This is a whole new mindset for me, but I'm going to embrace it because I know it is a lot healthier than the way I've always thought about dieting!
I hope everyone here has been doing well. I haven't been reading posts but I intend to catch up soon!
Welcome back, MM! Best of luck with your new plan. I hope you find that it helps you successfully combat your ED. You know you will have lots of support here with your BUDDDs! :hugs:
Glad to see you back here with us! :hugs:
Sounds like you have spent some good time exploring this complex subject with your psychiatrist. I expect you have some fuller understanding of your most inner self (although do we ever truly? LOL) and have planned a way to start the journey of teaching yourself how to eat reasonably and fully and delightfully, and learning that there will never again be a need to binge or urge to eat compulsively since... you can have anything on JUDDD anyway. What's left to *break the rules* by eating? Nothing, since anything is allowed on JUDDD. You can have anything anyway. No need to overeat... if you do, you find that JUDDD is very forgiving and you just get right back on plan. It seems like most everything is *No Big Deal* on JUDDD. :laugh:
And it sounds like you have a plan in place for taking these beginning steps to not just weight loss but to returning your inner relationship with food to a more normal state, your appetite to the *regular* setting on the dial, your pleasure in food to be completely acceptable and even envied by some others when they observe you being able to eat anything, follow a simple plan in doing so, and weight melts off. Woo Hoo!
I think you've worked out a wonderful plan to follow for awhile. I'm so excited for you and will really be interested in how you find this plan suiting you over these next couple of weeks. And how you feel mentally and physically on it (which sounds like it should be great!) and how you lose weight, energy level for your busy life right now, etc.
I'm here rooting for you and cheering you on! Go out and make your future! Do today what it's going to take to form the tomorrow you want to experience. :hugs:
Hi MM!
We've missed you!
I am so glad to hear you have got some expert help with your E
D. have suffered with an ED for most of my adult life (bulimia) and have had the unhappy experience of binging.
Since starting lc in march, I have had no episodes at all...and, for me...juddd is a way to ease back into the world of normal foods, while still feeling in control.
I think your new plan sounds very workable...and I cant wait to hear how it works out for you....no doubt you will tweak it to be the perfect fit for you as the weeks go by.
Post often and let us know how its going!
Glad you are back, and you are finding out what works for you! Having a plan is detrimental to my success, no matter how small :) I too suffer from binge eating. Its been over a month now since I have binged though...which is a huge deal for me! I am owing it all to JUDDD!! NEVER give up! We can do this!!!
Thank you for sharing. Well wishes!
My goal is to also limit carbs. Your post is very spot on for me.
I also like your siggy quote. lol...so true, so true.
:welcome: back, you have been missed!! And I :love: you new plan and just know it's going to be a good thing for you!!
Look forward to reading how you are doing!! :hugs::high5:
So today is day 3 of being more or less back on track. I'm having a hard time today, though, since it is date night with my boyfriend and the temptation to go out to eat and eat carby things is almost more than I can handle. I mean, even if we go to the Outback the brown bread and bloomin' onion are extremely tempting. :love:
I'm trying to take a more peaceful attitude about it, that if I don't stay low-carb when I eat out its not a big deal. On the one hand, I know I want to stay on plan for the most part, but on the other, I know that sometimes I have to give in to cravings for just one meal to prevent it from becoming a multi-meal binge!! For instance: Monday night we went out to eat at Applebees quite unexpectedly. I ate the bread that came with my burger and my fries, and I think that allowance prevented me from ordering dessert like I normally would. Its all a balance, right??
Right now, keeping myself from bingeing is more important than actual weight loss as I slide back into a LC/UDDD plan. One toe in the water at a time!
Love you all!! :heart::heart::heart:
Hi, Hon! Sounds like you're finding your way. The really important thing is to find how we can do IT, and then work within what we know IT can do for us. And that really goes whether it's JUDDD or general low carb or WW or whatever.
You sound a lot more at ease about your eating right now, so you must be a lot more comfortable as you style a plan for your needs at this time.
Good luck, and I know you're going to be successful. If you're at Outback, maybe make a bargain with yourself that you'll have one or the other.. but not both. :laugh: Or.. go really easy on the calories for the day until you eat there, and then share some of each with your BF. :hugs: One of the best things about JUDDD is that we can have it all if we plan the calorie allowances around what we want.
Have a fun evening.
Thanks, Pat and Linda!!!! It actually wasn't that bad. I had a few tortilla chips and salsa, but had a steak and broccoli for my main meal. Oddly, I gave my boyfriend the garlic bread that came with my meal without even thinking about it. I was halfway tempted to order desert, but my boyfriend was nice enough to say no for me when the waitress asked. He knows once one of us says no, I won't bother to flag someone down to say otherwise. :P
Big HUGS to everyone here!

Making a List
Of the many things I dislike about December, presents rank right near the top. Partly that's because we, a mixed-faith family (half Jewish, half Christmas), celebrate everything, so the excesses are head-spinning. But I also remain vastly insecure about who … Continue reading

Greetings my ODHMA friends,
Welcome to the August 2014 ODHMA newsletter - assembled at the Hiskett hacienda in the unrecognized far, far northern reaches of Oklahoma. Hope you all are having a fun filled, safe summer. I am slowly healing..not yet on two feet unassisted, but hopefully very soon. I have painfully discovered that broken tibias are no fun and do not recommend trying it to anyone if you are bored. So, very sad for me to say…no Hiskett horses at the KS or OK fairs this year. My wonderful horse Nessie is 21 this year and deserves to retire (along with Warren) – so, she will be spending this fair season in the pasture under the shade trees by the pond, grazing happily. Our people plans are to be at the fairs horseless but, want to be there to support all of our great members showing that are putting out all the time, sweat and effort in making the fairs at OK City, Tulsa and of KS happen. We are always tickled when our Oklahoma friends take that drive north and compete in the Kansas fair that Warren and his "minions" put together. Tom Peterson is putting everything together for the Tulsa fair again this year. They are shaping up to be great shows, lots of good competition and of course social times. More on both of these fairs later in this letter.
Right up front, a big thanks to Sula Robertson for sending info on the 2014 ODHMA driving clinic and the Sycamore Springs fun show. Oh and pics…lots of pics. (now, if you are getting this letter by e-mail – you can see all the great pics in Kodak color! More about how you can see letter in color by e-mail this in the letter).
Time to take a cool, summer break and read about some of the events of the past couple months. With that said my friends – read on and enjoy.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************I am all about conservation (be green!) save…time, effort and money. In order to save money for the association – If you have not already signed up to get our letter by e-mail..please do so now. Not only does it save our club money on copying, labels and postage but, you will get all the spectacular, awesome photographs in live, vivid color! This makes them so much cooler to look at. E-mail me now ( firstname.lastname@example.com ) and let me know you want the letter by e-mail…then I can copy and paste you into my address book and magic! It's done. Save money… save wear-n-tear on my old fingers, save a tree by not using so much paper, easy to save on your computer for future reference, get pictures in color and you can zoom the pics too. What a deal! All good reason to sign up. E-mail me soon. Thank you

Thinking... about 2015-- the Drive Into Spring Show April 2015
We are asking for your support for the Spring 2015 Sycamore Springs Driving Show. This driving show would be open to all breeds and sizes of horses and mules and be held sometime in April 2015 at the Sycamore Springs Ranch just south of Locust Grove, OK. The facilities are the best around and the ranch was very accommodating to us. It was a successful venture and we feel it should be held again. We have even been asked to have a fall show, too. We are asking for your "YES" vote at our annual meeting in January. Information about the show results were in the last newsletter.
Sula Robertson & Robin Johnson, Drive Into Spring Show Committee
Oklahoma Draft Horse & Mule Association Driving Clinic 2014
We did it again! 13 years in a row! And, we had a fantastic turnout of participants and volunteers! Thank You ODHMA.
"I'm more excited than a kid with a new BB gun!" was just one of the many comments we had about our ODHMA Free driving Clinic. We met many enthusiastic draft-horse-lovin' people who positively loved this event. Also, we know we have opened the door to the driving world when we get comments like, "Just wanted to thank you for the driving class today; it gave us an idea of what this harness thing is all about and it opened the door to move further into the sport. " So, ODHMA, let's plan to do it again in 2015.
The winds of change—they are a comin' in January of 2015. Time for new blood, new ideas, new faces in some positions of our grand ODHMA. Winter ODHMA meeting!
Looking for a new ODHMA secretary!
Thank you ODHMA for giving me the opportunity to be your assoc. secretary for the last 10 years. I have had lots of fun getting acquainted with you and I've always been very happy to help where ever I can. I just wanted you to know that I am not running for secretary for 2015. So, please be thinking of someone who would serve as secretary for this great organization. Or, maybe, you are reading this note and want to volunteer your services. Skills needed could include: computer knowledge, big smiles, available for meetings, love of draft horses and mules, ability to ask others for help, and enthusiastic horse/mule people greetings. Be thinking about this position and be ready to vote on your new secretary in January.
Sula Robertson
Looking for a new ODHMA newsletter editor January 2015! (a little less important than secretary position so I put it in smaller type).

The editor job is for anyone who supports our club and critters and can shout out their greatness. Someone who wants to spread the word and pics about our critters, club and club events this is your spot. Got the gift of gab, also love and enthusiasm for draft horses and mules…this job is custom made for you! Just a heads up… I will not be accepting nomination for newsletter editor in 2015, so members…step on up and let's give our ODHMA new words in our letter. Thank you. Evelyn Hiskett

Greeting to fellow Draft Horse owners and enthusiasts – Tulsa Draft Show Superintendant- Tom Peterson
It is hard to believe that we are already into August and the Tulsa State Fair is just around the corner. This year's Draft Horse show is bigger, better and we hope to return to all the exciting classes that we have had in the past with classes for both the professional exhibitors and the local horse and mule owners. Again we have an excellent judge this year who has been showing draft horses for many years. Also a big change this year is the day and time that the horses are being allowed into the horse barns. In the past this was a matter of contention and the fair has moved other event in order to allow significantly more time for move in. For those that have not been to the Tulsa facility, It is a first class facility with excellent stalls and excellent show facilities. We have even increased the prize monies this year especially on the multiple hitch events and the entry fees are quite reasonable. The Oklahoma Draft Horse and Mule Association also provides a hospitality booth for all members and entrants
The Show is October 3rd and 4th. Move in can begin on October 2nd at Noon,
The deadline for entries is August 25th to avoid late fees and this non-negotiable as we found out last year.
The links below will take you to both the Horse show handbook and the entry forms. Please call me with any questions. Let's make this the best show ever.
I am again looking for volunteers for this year as a ringman, announcer, gate attendants, scribe, show assistants with setting up obstacles etc. a barn manager to help assign stalls and a hospitality chairperson. If you can help with this year's show, please let me know. Thank you. Tom

federal "gubment" - why none other than that "states rights" guy Bobby Jindal.
|Fri, 04-30-2010 - 4:51pm
Local talk radio host this morning pulled a Beck (the "I'm not saying" and then says it) and said something along the lines of she wouldn't put it past Obama for having blown up the platform himself to stop drilling...
|Fri, 04-30-2010 - 7:09pm
didn't obama ok more drilling for oil? so i doubt the conspiracy theory mentioned above
|Fri, 04-30-2010 - 7:23pm
I think it is much more likely that Halliburton was sloppy in their work and they were the cause.
|Fri, 04-30-2010 - 9:20pm
Maybe it's best because history shows when ecokooks and Gubment are allowed to run things they do worse than corporations.
|Fri, 04-30-2010 - 9:38pm
"I think it is much more likely that Halliburton was sloppy in their work and they were the cause."
I think you're onto something there.
You've maybe seen the Haliburton income projections showing how they will make oodles and oodles of profits by saving $5 mill in construction costs
|Fri, 04-30-2010 - 11:08pm
Right...small government to do what government is supposed to do...which is provide assistance in situations exactly like this. The Feds get revenue from the oil companies pumping in the gulf, they have jurisdiction over the rigs, so why shouldn't Jindal ask for government assistance to help with a disaster that the state had no hand in causing or overseeing, but now has to deal with?...especially since "Obama, in scuba gear swam out to the rig - blew up the platform and then swam back to shore." Of course if his golfing is any indication of his physical prowess, it's pretty doubtful that Barry could actually swim that far. LOL! I guess that's why Barry has spend more time golfing in one year than Bush spent in eight...he needs the practice.
|Fri, 04-30-2010 - 11:12pm
Actually, this is the perfect example of why WE SHOULD be drilling off our coasts. When foreign companies like BP do the drilling we don't control the regs. It's stupid for libs to oppose American companies drilling off our coast and to allow foreign companies to expose the US to the same potential hazards while harvesting OUR resources.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
CWB plebiscite less than it seems
When I was a student at the University of Manitoba, most us got to the Fort Garry campus by public transit. At the time the transit company was privately owned by the Winnipeg Electric Company and there was an ongoing battle between the students and the company related to the level of services.
The student newspaper, The Manitoban, published a sarcastic article wherein it was stated the transit company was complaining of vandalism by students who damaged the seats of the vehicles.
The authority said it intended to retaliate by removing the seats from the university-bound buses. In order to demonstrate its good faith, the company said it would conduct a plebiscite among the students, giving them the opportunity to voice their opinion before it took any action.
The announcement then ended with the statement: "The plebiscite will be taken, the results will be announced, and the seats will be removed."
Supporters of the Canadian Wheat Board are now accusing the federal government of acting in a similarly arbitrary and undemocratic manner by ignoring the Canadian Wheat Board-sponsored plebiscite that polled farmer opinion on the continued monopoly position of the board with respect to the marketing of wheat and barley in the Prairie provinces.
The plebiscite has been held, the results have been announced, and the monopoly position of the board will be terminated. This despite 62 per cent of the voters supporting the board with respect to wheat and 51 per cent supporting the monopoly with respect to barley.
But before we jump to the conclusion of making inappropriate analogies, some consideration should be given to important features of this case that make such comparisons meaningless.
First, the Canadian Wheat Board used its resources to advance a political position, which it had no mandate to do. The wheat board is responsible for the marketing of grain and should not be involved in the question of whether it should continue to have the legislative powers, which come from the government of the country. The government created the wheat board and whether it will continue is a political decision. As the saying goes: "The legislature giveth, and the legislature taketh away."
In addition, what is being voted on is whether the majority of a group of farmers can decide that the freedom of those who disagree with them can be removed.
It is probably correct to say, as the wheat board will argue, that unless there is a single desk to which all farmers are required to market their grain, the effectiveness of the CWB will be reduced and it might even be forced out of business. But is this reason enough to deny a freedom to which most Canadians are entitled as of right?
The true magnitude of the vote should also be assessed. Only 55 per cent of those eligible cast their ballots. That means only 34 per cent of eligible farmers voted in favour of a wheat monopoly and about 26 per cent in favour of a barley monopoly.
Since many people who would have voted negatively knew the government was going to legislate, it is likely they saw no need to cast a ballot in what had been described as a useless gesture.
Should 34 per cent and 26 per cent respectively have the right to say that 100 per cent will be denied the right to operate as do their fellow Canadians in Ontario and Quebec, who are not subject to wheat board control?
Then again, the vote was only open to those who have been engaged in the marketing of wheat and barley. It is reasonable to assume that some farmers gave up these crops because they didn't want to subjected to wheat board control.
As Lenin said of the Russian soldiers who deserted the front in the First World War: "They voted with their feet." If those votes were counted, it could well turn out that a small minority of the relevant farmers actually prefer to be subjected to a controlled rather than a free market.
Sidney Green is a Winnipeg lawyer and former NDP cabinet minister.

The pair shocked the BGT judges and the audience with their performance, which involved numerous twists, turns and instances of throwing Paddy in the air.
When the couple took to the stage, judge Simon Cowell was immediately unimpressed with the duo due to their obvious age gap, commenting under his breath: "This is weird."
And he continued to be unamused with Paddy and Nico, immediately pressing his buzzer as their routine started with a slow dance around the stage.
But the hopefuls had a shock in store as their performance quickly became action-packed, and Paddy seemed at ease being thrown into the air by her dancing partner.
By the end of the audition all four judges were on their feet and Amanda pressed the golden buzzer, meaning Paddy and Nico will go straight through to the live semi-finals.
Rushing on stage to congratulate the pair, she said: "Oh my God, I am so proud of you, I just thought that was incredible, well done.
She added: "My grandmother is 93-years-old and I just kept thinking of her when you were being thrown around and I think she would have wanted me to press my buzzer for you, so me and my nan are going to be right behind you."
I hope you win Britain's Got Talent.Amanda Holden to Paddy and Nico

Amanda Holden to Paddy and Nico
Realising he may have judged them too quickly, Simon said: "I apologise for what I did because I did obviously buzz a little early, this was before all the crazy things happened.
"It was all kinds of slow and normal and then it all went ballistic - it was extraordinary."
David Walliams said: "You're an amazing example to older people because you have shown that however old you are you can still be spectacular and beautiful and do something amazing."
It was also a surprising audition for five-piece boyband Collabro, who admitted to the judges they had only formed the group one month before the audition.
But the band shocked the panel with their rendition of Stars from the musical Les Misérables, with Alesha Dixon telling them: "That is definitely, by far, one of the strongest auditions I've ever seen."
Amanda was reduced to tears following their show-stopping performance, she said: "I could just burst with pride for you."
Simon said their audition was "absolutely brilliant", while David described it as "faultless".
Soprano singer Lucy Kay also enjoyed the judges' praises following her rendition of Vissi d'arte from the opera Tosca.
The 24-year-old admitted to the panel she had lost her confidence after suffering for years at the hands of bullies.
You sang a piece of opera that I don't know, and most of us in this room probably don't know and we were all incredibly moved. That's testament to how incredible your voice is.David Walliams to Lucy Kay

Her audition brought all four judges to their feet, with Simon telling her: "Today is the day that you learned to smile properly because what you just did was extraordinary."
Alesha added: "You have a gift and I'm not an expert on opera but that just felt wonderful to me."
Meanwhile the judges did have to endure some less than fantastic acts during the auditions, including Rocky the owl, who failed to wow the panel with his 'tricks'.
"You're like a very old, unmagical Harry Potter," Amanda told the naughty owl's owner Andrew Charlton from Lincolnshire.
Gloucester man Sean Wozencroft, took to the stage aiming to break a world record for eating a raw onion - he didn't quite manage it.
And German composer and violinist, Peter Panduranga, who appeared during the Belfast auditions, earned four no votes after failing to impress with his own song, which he dedicated to his wife of 29 years.
