I've been to all the trainers and they have told me i've comepleted the course for that area, but when i check to see if it's completed it tells me i still have to complete it. What i would like to know is how you complete this part.... thank you.
Answer from: Emmy
Have you trained at the ranch? if not, you pick whatever horse you want and choose "training". then you can train showjumping at the ranch.
Answer from: Ffion!
If not, try going to were the courses are held and ask a man there. I was stuck on that bit too, i'm afraid thats one of the negatives of the game, the explanations are very poor.
hope this helped(:
Answer from: Rioxy
Ys, i was really stuck on this bit and i didnt play it for ages but then i did and what you have to do is go to the ranch choose a horse and select training.
Answer from: Wanna123

Answer from: zozo
Yeah i got stuck there too but you have to train in the forest and the praire (and eventually on the beach) and at home in your ranch! choose a horse and then click train, or at the point your at grant should be stood by the arena behind your stables and go talk to him and he should say something like les get started, hope this helps!!

Simon Cowell Says Ryan Seacrest was 'Really Annoying' on 'Conan' (VIDEO)
More than a decade ago, Simon Cowell plucked Ryan Seacrest out of obscurity and gave him the opportunity of a lifetime: to host his new show American Idol. Needless to say, the series helped launch Seacrest's multi-million dollar empire.
Despite no longer being on the American Idol judging panel, Cowell says that he still finds Seacrest "really annoying." Of course, the judge's playful banter with Seacrest helped make the Fox show must-see reality television -- but after 10 years, is the shtick finally getting old? Not for Cowell, who couldn't help but throw a few jabs at his former co-worker during Monday night's Conan.
"You unleashed him and it's your fault," Conan O'Brien told Cowell. "I know. And the whole plan was to launch Brian Dunkleman," Cowell responded, referencing Seacrest's Season 1 co-host. "The whole thing failed."
Who else did Cowell say was "annoying?"
The former American Idol judge said he's used to working with people he finds annoying, including his fellow X Factor judge, Demi Lovato, who joined Cowell on Conan.
However, the 20-year-old pop star and former Disney starlet showed that she's not intimidated by Cowell's antics and responded, "You can be a bit of an a**hole. How's that?"
The X Factor airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 PM ET on Fox.

reviews & comments (7)
This was great; nice flavourful finger food to go with cocktails. Can't see how it could be called bland. The combo of the tart/sweet grapes with the salt and the lime juice, the subtle smokiness of the turkey and cumin, the crispy tortilla and the creamy cheese - hey, it's all good!
I Just happened to have had a freshly smoked turkey breast (heavey on the smoke!) This dish was anthing but bland. Forget the grapes! Topped with fresh tomatoes , lettuce, and sour cream this was excellent!
I didn't like the cooked green grapes, which tasted strange. Otherwise, the quesadillas were so-so. Next time I'll choose a different recipe.
I didn't use the grapes,but had cut up tomatoes, lettuce and onions with low fat sour cream and salsa to add some jazz. Not too bad. I'm not a huge fan of turkey or chicken luncheon meats, but my husband really enjoyed it. I put the lemon directly on the tortilla and used two instead of one.
We loved this! Used co-jack cheese, lemon instead of lime (rubbed the wedge on the torilla) and used regular salt. Very different and delicious! Even great left over!

Employment for prepress workers is expected to decline rapidly through 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. While it is anticipated that the demand for printed materials will increase, prepress work will not, mainly because of new innovations and technology that allows prepress workers to do their jobs more efficiently, and for workers at publishing companies, graphic design companies, and advertising firms to design and format publications. Specialized computer skills will increasingly be needed to handle direct-to-plate and other new technology.

Jones' website highlights the following campaign themes:[1]
- "We need to welcome parents into our schools and teach them how to be involved in their child's education. It is proven that when parents are involved in their child's educations the results are positive."
- "We need to continue to support our Community Colleges and the programs they offer to help train students for new global and technology labor markets."
- "We need to fund schools properly and quit taking more and more funds from education each year. K-12 teachers are expected to be teacher, guidance counselor, nurse, social worker, to provide a secure environment, in addition to teaching common core standard curriculum."
- Excerpt:"We need to focus on developing more partnerships with our area high schools and the local businesses to help train students for the job force. Bringing in or developing new businesses in our county can also help our local community college."
- Excerpt:"I believe we need to focus on improving our infrastructure in Davidson County. The citizens of Davidson County pay their fair share of taxes and our people should have well maintained roads. Our water and sewer services should also be the top of the line."

Last year I distributed 100 TisBest promo cards to get the word out at my company. i had never heard of TisBest beforehand and am a firm believer now. The best part of the concept is that both the donor AND recipient have a active role in helping others. How many gifts do that? Jon Seigel is fantastic to work with and I highly recommend the whole TisBest group!

I have a Chilcotin and just don't ride enough hard core tech. I'm thinking of moving my parts over to a Endorphin. First off I am a heavy rider at 280 and aslo would run a 160 which seems fine to do on the Knolly website. I looking for a lighter bike for longer pedal rides and handle mid level tech. For you AZ guys I mostly ride over at PMP on VOAZ and such but have never ridden Hairball. I ride National twice a year and walk a few of the more tech sections. I aslo like trails like Lost Dog and the OLD Jeep trail.

Ferro to Sell Bonds in Refinancing Effort; S&P Raises Rating
10:41 AM MDT | August 5, 2010 | Vincent Valk
Ferro is launching a public sale of $250 million in bonds due 2018. The bonds will carry an interest rate of 6.5% and are part of an effort to restructure Ferro's debt and credit obligations. Most of the proceeds from the bond sale will go towards purchasing $172.5 million in existing bonds due 2013, with the rest repaying outstanding borrowings under the company's existing credit line. Ferro is currently in negotiations with lenders on a new credit line, the company announced last week. Standard & Poor's (S&P; New York) has raised Ferro's corporate...

It killed my leg cramps & it's easing my pain now! I've been suffering from "fibromyalgia" and nocturnal leg cramps for seven years now after a laparoscopic gastric banding operation.
The surgeon said I had to take a vit. B complex because bariatric surgery may induce malabsorption of particular nutrients. So I did but the dose was too low all these years. Till I switched to another B complex a few weeks ago. In that B complex there are 2 vitamins at much higher doses: vit. B1 en vit. B6. The dose of vit. B6 is 25 times higher now!
I learned by the Web that a combination of magnesium and vit. B6 is the ideal anticonvulsant for nocturnal leg cramps. So the B6 in the complex must be the real effectuator. There is no doubt about that.
During all these years I had never been ending the night without leg cramps, every day. They are gone now.
The B6 also worked against the pain in my neck and shoulders but this effect only became noticeable after a couple of weeks! There is still a little pain but it's endurable.
I must emphasize that in many cases a vit. B6 deficiency is confused with fibromyalgia. Thus, most likely I have no real fibromyalgia. But it's important to know that a physician may easily misdiagnose you what about this illness. I saw it many times in my own Dutch forums that fibromyalgia and CFS simply could be reduced to a lack of vit. B1, B6 & B12. Even when you think you're taking enough vit. B's using a standard vit. B complex you could be wrong.
I must emphasize though that a vit. B6 supplement should only be taken under control of your family doctor. For safety reasons I reduced my vit. B6 intake to 100 mg/day now.

Co-Executive Producer
Re: Star Trek: Phase II - "Kitumba" Officially Released!
As I indicated in an earlier post, I actually do go through our script with a fine tooth comb for quality control purposes. I actually do a kind of a combined Bob Justman/Kellam de Forest Research script pass to check for, well, all sorts of things—plot holes, clunky dialogue, mischaracterizations, repetition, series inconsistencies—all sorts of things. Once I provide my feedback to the Senior Executive Producer and the script writer, they either implement my suggestions or they don't; it's their call at that point. In the case of "Kitumba," I provided ten pages of copious script notes. Without boring everyone, here are some of my comments (four of the more than 60 suggestions that I provided) to give a flavor of my review:
"Scene 47
"35. For the sword, can we make it a plot point that the sword Chekov has is Scotty's from 'Day of the Dove?' Perhaps Scotty runs up at the last minute with a "Here you go, Lad—as you requested" and hands it to Chekov—who passes it off to Kirk. It might explain why there is a sword immediately available aboard ship. Might need to revise Kirk's line about cutting cake.
"36. Grammatical error. McCoy should say "I'd feel a lot more secure if our Security Chief were carrying real weapons." (Should properly be subjunctive mood 'were' instead of indicative mood 'was.')
"37. Uhura says that you can carry a sword or a yan. Yan is simply Klingonese for sword, so that's redundant.
"38. I don't like McCoy's "You scare me, woman." It sounds patronizing and insulting to the black woman. Maybe we can say 'You scare me, Lieutenant.' (It sounds more like McCoy and not as much like [our McCoy actor] Doc John.)"
My point is: we actually do perform a meticulous review of the script; we do look before we leap. Sometimes, for all kinds of reasons, the Senior Executive Producer and script writer may choose to leap anyway. Yes, some of the lines are cheesy--far too cheesy for my taste. But there are vast swaths of our viewers who are not lactose intolerant; they really like the cheese. "That 'corvette' line was just the funniest thing I've ever heard." We understand and accept that our fan base represents infinitely diverse levels of viewing sophistication.
Edit: yes, I did go and scare-up a basket-hilt Claymore sword to match Scotty's from "Day of the Dove" in advance of the shoot.

I'd also add, that most of us who make these sorts of productions, are in no way oblivious to our shortcomings, so many of the usual criticisms that come our way aren't necessarily a great revelation.
On the other hand, most of us also realise we have a great deal to learn, and the truly constructive feedback is often helpful in this regard.

Re: Star Trek: Phase II - "Kitumba" Officially Released!
I compare "Star Trek Phase 2" (and, of course their earlier New Voyages outings) more likely with professional productions than Fan Film productions, because the overall quality just strikes another chord with me.
Yes, as Barb constantly reminds us, there are a lot of Fan Films out there for us to enjoy, "dive in" or simply watch. But they always have this similar "feeling" of fan productions on which they are regarded (at least, as far as I'm concerned).
James Cawley raised the bar right from the beginning (and I also take into account "Come What May", because the production design was very, VERY ambitious) and then there has been been a sudden jump (with "To Serve All My Days") that lifted the fan series to another level, regardless which version you take into account, Jack Marshall's (the Director of that episode) vision or both Phase 2's versions (with Chekov's dying/dreaming storyline). It was, where "labour of love" aka amateurism met semi-professionalism. And they never let me/us down afterwards. From that time onwards, it would always be about scripting/acting/editing - and whther we liked the story or not so much. That's where "World Enough And Time" met me completely up to now!
So what was I saying here? Yes, I compare Phase 2 more with professional productions than fan films. That's, how I regard the series.
Star Trek Continues has the same production values, the same semi-professionalism, the same enthusiasm for me. And it doesn't matter for me, that the groundwork has been done by others. I love it equally and compare it equally to professional productions, nothing else.
And, of course, there's Starship Exeter, whose final film will probably come out later this year completed. They have also done such a remarkably job of putting out a 2nd film that was so much on par with P2/STC, that I should recognize, that they have done so years ago.
So, all scripting/acting/editing/mixing issues regarded - I'd compare them with professional tv shows - and I'll praise/criticize them on THAT level.
P.S.: Both, James Cawley AND Vic Mignogna strike me as very good acting Captains Kirk!
'Nuff said!

Re: Star Trek: Phase II - "Kitumba" Officially Released!
Many members have already shared their observations, allow me to do the same:
(1)Spock says Starfleet has already alerted 29 starships... 29?!? I guess starship includes ships of many different classes, the Saladin pictured at the beginning for one...
(2)First time I think Ive ever seen a Starfleet officer wearing a wedding ring on his hand. Plus its kinda funny to see Gil Gerard barely acknowledge Spock and McCoy, then hail Mr Scott by name...
(3)There seems to be the same Bones reaction shot at 02:24 and 04:12, though the first one strikes me as unnecessary since the Doc seems to be reacting for no reason (he couldnt yet know the new arrival is a klingon). Speaking of the Doc, Ive really come to like John Kelley as McCoy and was really disappointed to see him gone in the Mind-Sifter teaser (really glad to see him return) Hes really come onto his own in the role, but he is probably an editors worst nightmare during the transporter room sequence (arms down, arms crossed, arms behind his back )...Spock also keeps popping in and out...
(4)Ron Boyd has been around as long as James Cawley and Kelley, and always a welcomed face in the crowd, but hes just too relaxed and smooth while the original TOS DeSalle was basically Clint Eastwood, squinty-eyed and jaw clenched...
(5)I love seeing Paul Sieber as Prescott again, though its kinda weird he would go (character-wise) from Farragut security chief to Enterprise security...And hes not played as much of a stick-in-the-mud as on Farragut, so not as fun. Perhaps he should have been cast as another crewman entirely.
(6)Loved the scene with the gathering of the Klingons. Well Phase 2 has done it! After disappointing planetside episodes for Exeter (The savage Empire) and Farragut (the Captaincy and For Want of a Nail) with decidedly un-alien settings, this is the second episode that passes the grade (Enemy Starfleet is the other). Sole gripe? would have needed a more judicious placement of the many fans/klingons to have the more authentic ones in the foreground...
(7)Vic Mignona as the main villain...hmm, would have preferred he be more Kang, than Klaa...
(8) The directing/editing at 43 minutes is quite confusing: Kirk brings the Kitumba back planetside and has words with Kargg. He and Peter go back inside the tavern separately. Kirk goes inside with the Kitumba and wonders where Peter is (?). Peter is making out with a female klingon, kissing her for all hes worth (what was the point of that, though?). Then both Kirks, Chekov and Uhura all step out of the tavern only to be surrounded by Kargg and a squad of Klingons... Cowardly sod, isnt he? Used to be a Klingon didnt need help to subdue 4 humans by himself...
(9)At 56:20 my 3rd favorite piece of Star Trek music explodes and I am so giddy. The fighting sequence was terrific but could have been more deadly (meaning, some of the characters might have paid the price). You would think after all the times Kirk has gotten sliced across the chest he would now have quite a collection of scar tissue, but...
(10)Storywise, I get that the focus had to remain small for this story, centering on the Kitumba and the plot by Malkathon even though a story that seeks to bring momentous change to a whole race/planet might have wanted to show some extra power players and THEIR views on the whole matter (no, not asking to bring in a whole whos who of the ridge head set, but a few new guys might have added some scope).
Overall, an entertaining hour was spent. My only gripe is that Kirk and the crew just were never in that much danger. The possible need to blow up the ship if ever it is in any danger of being invaded or overwhelmed is mentioned at least twice (by Gil Gerard and Kirk), but nothing ever comes of that.
And finally we get to see Cawley kick ass!!
The FX sequences are lush and just plain amazing. Pony and Tobias, give it up yo!!

Re: Star Trek: Phase II - "Kitumba" Officially Released!
So here we go:
The whip is a VERY difficult weapon to master. Unlike a sword, which can at least be stabbed-with or flailed by even a neophyte and still be dangerous to an opponent, a bullwhip or stockwhip is much less forgiving, and will more likely bite its own user before hurting someone else. Thats why KSia carries one; its a sign of a skill level few Klingons possess, a sign of more disciplined training than is usually seen with bladed weapons. Theres an elegance to it as well, and unlike a sword, batleth, daq-tag or other bladed weapons, a whip can be used to maim OR to gently touch; it can deliver a powerful supersonic blow and can REMOVE a weapon from an opponents hand.
The whip seen in KITUMBA was one I had custom-made by a whipmaker in Montana named Jack Perry. Its one he makes as part of his brand, and is patterned DIRECTLY after the whip used by Vincent Price in DeMilles TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Just FYI!

Re: Star Trek: Phase II - "Kitumba" Officially Released!
I was a professional law enforcement officer for many years. I wouldn't walk into a mall, go up to a security guard, and say "you look like crap, you are doing your job completly wrong, you know nothing of professional law enforcement, now listen to me and do what I say". It is quite unfair to expect a minimun wage security guard without my years of training and experience to meet up to MY expectations of professionalism or performance.
You want to knock JJ Abrams and Paramount studios, go ahead, they are multimillionaire professionals with almost unlimited resources to do what they do. Cut the Phase II folks, and all the other dedicated fan productions out there, a little slack. If you can stomach it.

text: John Clayton has a local radio show here in Seattle on Saturday mornings, and the topic of Daniel Graham came up -- mostly in the context of the Seahawks getting a replacement for Jeremy Stevens. Claytons believes Graham is GONE from the Patriots. We've read his article about the Patriots won't pay anybody, but he thinks he won't return. Next question: Is it a wise financial move to give Graham a big contract. He's 28 years old, and players get injured more often as he gets older. In five season he's missed 17 games -- almost a complete season. I'd love to have him back, but I can't see how it makes sense to throw too much money at him.

Scott goes for No. 1 at scene of greatest triumph
By The Associated Press
Adam Scott, of Australia, celebrates after a birdie putt on the 18th green during last year's Masters tournament. / photo: Associated Press
AUGUSTA -- Adam Scott is relishing every part of being Masters champion.
The drive up Magnolia Lane. A couple of practice rounds with his dad. Wearing the green jacket. And, certainly, the Champions Dinner on Tuesday night.
But before anyone gets worked up about having to eat "bugs," that's just Aussie-speak for a type of lobster.
Yep, Scott will be serving "surf and turf" off the barbie, so he figures everyone will be happy with his menu.
This week, Scott is back at the scene of his greatest triumph, a playoff victory in last year's Masters. He kept up his strong play after that breakthrough win, giving him a shot to go to No. 1 for the first time if he finishes no worse than a two-way tie for third at Augusta.

A look at the tech behind modern law enforcement
According to online resources, American policing tracing its roots from earlier British influences who in turn can trace their origins back to the Norman conquest of the England in 1066 A.D. If we fast forward to 2014, we can clearly see a lot has changed.
Early American settlers found themselves having to "keep the peace" in early colonies. Debtors languished in a "stock" on the main street, hands and head bound in the wooden contraption served to shame a debtor publically. These early "justices of the peace" soon found out that they need a more organized and proactive type of law enforcement.
The genesis of the police movement started in 1636 in Boston, MA when they established a night watch patrol. New York would follow in 1651 with a "Shout and Rattle" watch. These were designed to cover an entire city and not just focus on specific crime-ridden area. In 1705, the city of Philadelphia developed the concept of "patrol" when they implemented ten such patrol routes across the city. The 1800's saw the further development of police departments who then formed day and night patrol shifts.
With the implementation of the automobile, police began leaving their horses and buggies and starting equipping early automobiles with lights and sirens. A radio was later added as communications technology became more prevalent. This allowed patrol officers on the street to be able to communicate more effectively with their base of operations.
Today's law enforcement represents a stark contrast in technology compared with their counterparts from decades past.
The modern police officer typically drives a vehicle that is more powerful, more fuel efficient and far more dependable than vehicles of the past. They are also considerably safer to drive.
Locally, Deer Park's Police Department represents the modern face of law enforcement. With the latest patrol vehicles equipped with a bevy of devices including computer and radio communications, GPS and video cameras, there has never been a time in policing when officers have had this much technology at their disposal. "Things have changed dramatically," said Sgt. Brown. He says today's in-car technology can do everything from run criminal backgrounds, to pulling driver's license photos and fingerprints, mapping patrol routes and also GPS to help pinpoint locations; all at the touch of a button. "There is so much we can do from the car now," he says.
There has been a push over the last decade to move from cars like the ubiquitous Ford Crown Victoria and Chevrolet Caprice to larger sport utility vehicles like Ford's Expedition and Chevrolet's Tahoe. Brown says as the amount of equipment officers use grows, the need more room to store and cool the new gear becomes more evident. "The SUV offers a little more convenience, a little more comfort so we have the extra room to put that stuff in there."
It's not just the inside of the newer vehicles that are jam-packed with video cameras, computers and radio gear but outside of the cruiser as well. In addition to the light bars, which are now mostly LED-powered for their efficiency and luminescence, there are light bars along the lower door panels, and on the rear of the vehicles for added visibility and safety. There are also vehicles that are equipped with infrared cameras to help locate suspects at night. There are "Plate Scan" devices that can scan license plates of nearby vehicles and search for stolen vehicles, amber alert suspects and those who outstanding warrants.
It's not just the police cruiser that has seen the evolution of technology but also the police officer's uniforms themselves. Centuries along, early police officers had their brawn and maybe a nightstick to defend them and subdue criminals. Today, officers carry state-of-the-art weapons including pistols, Tasers, pepper spray, collapsible batons, etc. To protect themselves from a suspect with a gun, officers have newer, lighter bulletproof vests that offer more protection than earlier models and more comfort for all-day use.
Looking to the future, Brown says one trend in law enforcement that is gaining traction is "predictive policing." Basically, this technology takes crime stats for a given area over a certain period of time and hypothesizes potentially criminal activity based on those statistics and patterns of criminal behavior in the area. "The technology is relatively effective," says Brown. A more advanced-and-yes-fictionalized version of predictive policing is front and center in the 2002 thriller "Minority Report" which stars Tom Cruise. In that movie, Cruise is a police officer in the year 2054. He is a member of the "Pre-Crime" branch of law enforcement which uses technologies of the day in order to predict crime before it happens, throwing into question a person's "freewill" to make their own decisions.

Uttoxeter potholes to get filled with a funding pot
Posted: March 23, 2014|
DRIVERS in Uttoxeter can breathe a huge sight of relief after millions of pounds were earmarked to repair pothole-riddled roads in the area.
Staffordshire County Council was handed £2,131,285 from a government pot of £183.5 million allocated to help improve the condition roads after they were battered during recent bad weather.
Motorists have been further boosted by plans announced during the Budget to hand out an extra £200 million during 2014-15 to combat the problem.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said: "Damage to roads causes misery for drivers and local communities and the severe weather over the last few months has made the problem worse.
"This extra money will help make a real difference to the millions of road users and residents across England who rely on local roads, giving them safer and smoother journeys."
The cash is an emergency payment from the government to help with road repairs following the wettest winter on record, and will pay for the repair of 3.3 million potholes across the entire country.
The additional money has been allocated on a formula basis, and is being distributed now to ensure that authorities can make use of it as soon as possible and complete works before the school summer holidays.
Councillor Simon Tagg, cabinet support member for transport and the connected county, said: "An effective and well maintained road network in Staffordshire is at the centre of our commitment to bring jobs and prosperity to the county and any extra boost to tackle problems like potholes is always welcome.
"In welcoming the additional funding, we recognise the need for a more longer term investment in our road network which will be key to the country's future economic growth.
"As a county council we have already invested an additional £50 million of local money in improving our road network. In a county as vast as Staffordshire maintaining and improving roads is an on-going challenge, so extra funding from Government is more than welcome.
"Our highways crews currently fix more than 300 potholes a week and we will be exploring the best ways to invest this to get the maximum return for the county's roads and for Staffordshire residents."
The investment comes after the wettest winter on record in parts of the UK last year which caused widespread devastation to sections of the road and rail network.
The extra money is to be spent on carrying out immediate repairs such as fixing potholes, and increasing preventative maintenance of roads to ensure that there is less need for emergency or large scale repairs in the future.
Roads across Uttoxeter earmarked for improvement include Town Meadows Way, Derby Road, Church Street, Leighton Road, Sunnyside Road, St Mary's Crescent and Cockstubbles.
Those wishing to report a pothole should go to www.staffordshire.gov.uk

Baines happy to avoid Suarez
Everton defender Leighton Baines admits they are grateful to be facing a Luis Suarez-less Liverpool in next week's Merseyside derby.
– Everton defender Leighton Baines.
Yes, we're glad we don't have to face Luis Suarez because he's a top player and he has done so much for Liverpool this season," said the England international.
If they had been missing him this season they probably wouldn't be where they are in the league at the moment. He will be a big loss for them.
But they have got very good players throughout the team and it will be up to them to come to the fore and keep them going.
We understand the importance of it, it is a big game.

Game: ICO
Song: You Were There
Composer: Michiru Oshima, Koicih Yamazaki, Steven Geraghty
Above: You Were There from ICO
Truly one of the PS2's most brilliant titles, ICO has gone on to become one of the most adored adventure games of all time. The heady puzzles, dreamlike visuals and tangible bond between cursed Ico and the ghostly Yorda would be standout features in any other game - to have them all in one, plus a stirring, subdued soundtrack, is a once-in-a-generation event.
The above music plays during the ending, which you can watch here. Ico, who had literally led Yorda around by the hand for most of the game, now lays battered and weakened. In a touching reversal, Yorda must now carry him out of the crumbling castle, repaying him for the constant peril he endured while protecting her from the tyrannical Queen. Already a memorable sequence, made even better by this song.
Up next is "Heal," which plays while you save your game. It's an extremely quick and almost inaudible tune, but no less emotional. Something about it cuts right through all the jaded moments of your teen or adult years and really makes you feel the connection between Ico and Yorda. I... I think I have something in all of my eyes...
And then here's a badassss remix of Heal from SuperGreenX, also found on OverClocked ReMix. I love this just as much as the original song, so enjoy it with maximum feeling.

Endurance Specialty Holdings' CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Mike McGuire – Chief Financial Officer
Thanks, David and good morning everyone. In the second quarter, Endurance generated net income to common shareholders of $64.3 million and $1.48 per diluted share and operating income of $50.4 million and $1.18 per diluted share. Our diluted book value per share ended the quarter at $53.48 up 5.8% from year end 2011 and up 7% when excluding the $0.62 per share in dividends paid in the first half of 2012.
Compared to 2011, the improvement in our operating results reflected a lower level of catastrophe losses in our reinsurance segment and improved ex-cat accident year results in both our insurance and reinsurance segments which was partially offset by lower net investment income.
Net premiums written in the second quarter were $484.4 million, an increase of 9.7% over 2011 as we experienced strong growth in both our insurance and reinsurance segments. Within our insurance segment, second quarter net premiums written of $186.7 million increased 7.6% over 2011. Premium growth in our agricultural line of business was partially offset by reductions in our property line of business. Agricultural growth is driven by higher policy accounts, which was partially offset by higher sessions to the Federal Reinsurance Program.Reduced property insurance premiums reflect a strategy of shifting US wind capacity from all risk insurance to catastrophe reinsurance which we believe has higher margin and return potential. Reinsurance segment net premiums written were $297.8 million in the quarter up 11% from 2011. Catastrophe premium growth was driven by improved pricing, strong retentions, expansion of existing client relationships and increased capacity allocated to our cat lines. The shift in US wind capacity from insurance to reinsurance enabled us to grow premiums while reducing overall PMLs for US wind. Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

A while back, I inspected a set of Token rims at the bike shop where I was getting my Niobiun30 rims built. The rims on the Tokens looked suspiciously similar to the Niobiums I had (Kinlin XR-300 Niobium 30). The bike shop owner, (who is always very helpful) even did a detailed inspection and all the dimensions on the rims appeared identical. He even stated with confidence that the rims must be the same.
Does anyone have any clue what the rims on the Token C30A are? could they be another Niobium rebadge?
The Tokens are here: http://www.tokenproducts.com/05htm/p...s.php?pc1id=17
They look like this
