CBNNews.com - NEW YORK CITY - Under the banner, "Ahmadinejad, why are you executing children," U.S.-based Iranian groups plan to protest the visit of the Iranian president to the United Nations General Assembly.
The rally, which will be held Tuesday in the plaza in front of the U.N. headquarters, features a "wall of shame" with photos of jailed minors being abused in the Islamic Republic.
Event organizer Nazanin Afshin-Jam, head of Stop Child Executions Campaign, said the Iranian government has put six children to death by hanging in the past year, and 130 more are on death row.
According to Afshin-Jam, the focus on Iran's nuclear program has overshadowed the inhumane treatment of its children.

Emergency Kits Necessary in Severe Weather
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (CBS2/FOX28) -- Before you find yourself in a severe weather emergency, it's important to have supplies on-hand to keep you and your family safe.
FEMA suggests having an emergency supply kit for all of the members of your household, though Ron Nesler, the store manager of a Cedar Rapids Theisen's, said many people don't come in to buy supplies until after a storm hits.
"Well, it's always easier to spend it when you know you need it ,and not when you just think you might be able to use it. I think people are spending smart," Nesler said.
And while it might be good to have a generator or a chainsaw on hand after a storm hits, experts say, if a tornado is headed your way, it's good to have a helmet on your head to protect yourself from flying debris.
Many of the head injuries that happened in the 2011 Joplin tornado happened because of debris, so a helmet of any kind if an unconventional item that's good to have on hand, climatologists said.
But don't forget the basics.
"This is the time to start thinking about it. Batteries and flashlights go all year round. This when it's really important to have those items, though," Nesler said.
FEMA suggests a kit that includes:
- A gallon of water per person, per day, for three days
- Three days worth of food, per person
- Sleeping bags or warm blankets for each member of your family
- A weather radio
- Flashlights
- Extra batteries
- A wrench to turn off utilities
"It's smarter to be prepared, it's just easier to react afterwards sometimes," Nesler said.

On Saturday, August 23, 2014, Shotokan Karate of America (SKA) will host its 58th Annual Nisei Week Karate Exhibition and Tournament 11am – 1:30pm at
Caltech Braun Gymnasium (view map)
1200 East California Boulevard
Pasadena, California 91125
SKA's Nisei Week Karate Exhibition and Tournament is the oldest karate demonstration in the United States. Fighters and participants from dojos all over the USA and abroad arrive in Los Angeles to compete and to make individual and group demonstrations. The Exhibition and Tournament is open to the public. Admission and parking are free. The doors will open at 10:30 am.
For more information contact SKA Headquarters at 213-437-0988 during office hours, Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm (PDT).
A History of Karate at the Nisei Week Festival
From the opening of Japan to the West in the late 1800's through the early 1900's, large groups of Japanese emigrated to Hawaii, the United States and South America. The North American migrants settled primarily in Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The first generation of immigrants was known as the "Issei." By the 1930's, Los Angeles contained the largest Japanese American population on the U.S. mainland. Little Tokyo, in downtown Los Angeles, represented the center of that community. Retail and commercial businesses, community and religious centers, and professional services centered in Little Tokyo. However, business stagnated as the entire nation struggled through the Great Depression.
The next generation of young Japanese Americans (the "Nisei") developed a concept to create a summer festival to celebrate Japanese and Japanese American culture and arts. "Nisei Week" would also drive spectators and shoppers to Little Tokyo to regenerate commercial activity. Thus the Nisei Week Festival was born in 1934.
Events offered a glimpse into Japanese culture: ondo (festival dancing), ikebana (floral arranging), fashion shows, tea ceremonies, calligraphy, art and talent shows, and a royal court of the Nisei Week queen and her attendants. Japanese foods and the local cuisine based on the Asian dishes were a highlight. Also featured were traditional martial arts, judo and kendo. During World War II, from 1942 to 1946, while Japanese Americans were incarcerated, the Festival was interrupted. The community was able to restart Nisei Week in 1949.
After graduating from Waseda University where he was captain of the school's esteemed karate club, Tsutomu Ohshima immigrated to the United States in 1955. He had been a direct student under Master Gichin Funakoshi, the founder of modern karate who brought karate to mainland Japan from Okinawa. Mr. Ohshima's reputation in the world of karate had preceded him and it wasn't long before he was teaching the first American karate students.
In 1957, Tatsuo Inouye, the leader of the local judo federation, invited Mr. Ohshima to participate in the Nisei Week Judo Exhibition at Koyasan Buddhist Temple in the center of Little Tokyo. Because he was the only black belt, Mr. Ohshima performed much of the demonstration. No black belts had yet been promoted to conduct a tournament. This was the first official public demonstration of traditional karate in the United States, and has since become an annual activity for Mr. Ohshima's students.
That first 15-minute exhibition included 15-to-20 original members, including: George Murakami, Roe Suzuki, Fred Suzuki, Frank Kawana, Mas Norihiro, Takaaki Endo, Mike Shibano, and Akimasa Futami. Stan Tashiro, also an original member, provided commentary. Several of these students would later become the first American karate black belts.
Among the spectators at the first exhibition were Peter and Caylor Adkins. The brothers enrolled in Mr. Ohshima's classes and Caylor would later become part of that first group of black belts. Caylor, now a godan (fifth degree black belt), continues to be a significant influence within Shotokan Karate.
With the support of local community leaders, in 1958 a separate karate tournament was added as part of Nisei Week under the direction of Mr. Ohshima. Those community leaders included Reverend Daiichi Tsuyuki of Konko Church, Bishop Kenko Yamashita of Zenshuji Buddhist Temple, Rev. Shoki Mohri of Nishi Hongwanji Buddhist Temple; community leaders Junichi Yoshitomi and Masuo Nitamura; journalists such as George Nozawa, kendo insructors such as Master Torao Mori, and judo teachers Sensei Kaname Kuniyuki and Sensei Tatsuo Inoue. The tournament was first televised on CBS around this time.
In 1959, Mr. Ohshima's group was formally organized as the Southern California Karate Association (SCKA). In 1969, the SCKA was incorporated as Shotokan Karate of America (SKA).
Mr. Ohshima, who is a member of the Black Belt Magazine Hall of Fame, has traveled throughout the world teaching karate to thousands of students. Mr. Ohshima is currently the head instructor of karate organizations in fifteen other countries, including France, Israel, Canada, Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, and Morocco.
For many years, Koyasan Temple would be the home of the exhibition. The event had grown to include a tournament of local, national and international black belts from Mr. Ohshima's dojos and other karate groups. In the 1960's, for example, Yasunori Ono¾All-Japan Collegiate Champion and Mr. Ohshima's junior from Waseda University¾fought and took first place. Mr. Ohshima's students from around the world also exhibited demonstrations of karate techniques and practices. In the 1970's the exhibition was moved to the larger (and air conditioned!) Nishi Hongwanji gymnasium to ccommodate the crowds and supporters.
In 2004, the 48th Annual Nisei Week Karate Exhibition and Tournament moved out of Little Tokyo and relocated to Caltech's Brown Gymnasium. Perhaps, "returned" might be better word than "relocated." Caltech's karate club was started in 1957, creating the oldest university karate group in America. Mr. Ohshima was a member of the Caltech's faculty for 37 years and taught karate to several of Caltech's current and past academic professors. The Caltech Karate Club carries on its tradition as a vital part of SKA and its facilities hold a special place in karate history.

Moffat County Commission passes fire ban resolution

• Approved, 2-0, partial vacation of Moffat County Road 76. Approved, 2-0, vacation of Moffat County Road 49.
— Commissioner Tom Gray was absent from Tuesday's meeting.
The Moffat County Commissioners approved, 2-0, Resolution 2012-72 on Tuesday establishing a fire ban in unincorporated portions of Moffat County.
The ban takes effect immediately.
Among the activities prohibited include the burning of trash, fence rows, debris and vegetation; lighting a camp fire or charcoal grill outside of developed recreation areas featuring permanent fire pits with grates; smoking outside in non-designated areas; operating a chainsaw without a U.S. Department of Agriculture-approved spark arresting device; welding or using an open-flamed torch that is not clear of flammable materials for at least 10 feet on all sides; using explosives requiring fuses or blasting caps; and the discharge of any fireworks.
Commissioner Tom Mathers said the looming ban has been a topic among county residents since Moffat County Sheriff Tim Jantz recommended June 5 that elected officials take preventative action against the potential for a human-caused wildfire.
Talks have only intensified since the 430,000-acre High Park fire ignited Saturday near Fort Collins, Mathers said.
"When you've got those huge fires on the Front Range, it provides people with awareness of how bad it is," Mathers said.
Jantz recommended a week ago the commission consider passing a fire restriction ordinance.
An ordinance would have provided, among other things, law enforcement representatives with the authority to levy fines against residents who would otherwise ignore a resolution.
Commissioners cited an ordinance would require a public introduction and two readings before it could be approved in their decision to enact a fire ban resolution.
Had commissioners decided to enact an ordinance, it would not have taken effect until after July 4.
However, the commission followed part of Jantz's advice by stipulating certain exemptions to the ban.
Residents may acquire a free permit through the sheriff's office to burn open fires.
"We're a little behind in comparison to other counties, but I also think we are more in tune with what our public wants," Jantz said. "I think the public is well aware of what is going on in the state, and I think the (burn permit) provides us with the opportunity to educate the public."
Also among the exemptions are the burning of liquid-fueled or gas-fueled stoves, indoor fireplaces, charcoal grills on private residences, and bonfires required for religious ceremonies.
An existing city ordinance already bans open burning within Craig city limits.

As usual, one dumba$$, or one fire miles and miles away spoils it for the rest of us.

"One fire miles and miles away spoils it for the rest of us."
What do we have to have a fire here before they issue a ban? Glad to see it happen, if one were to get started here the way the wind has been blowing lately it would cover alot of ground in no time.
cag81625 2 years, 7 months ago
Conditions are bad. This drought is worse than the one ten years ago. That, coupled with all of the fuel left from the recent wet years has left us a tinder box. The fire in Powderwash went to nearly 1200 acres. I mean, when is the last time you heard about a fire up that way, much less one that large? There's a lot more fuel around Craig and certainly around places like Knez Divide. A fire ban was about a month overdue if you ask me.
David Moore 2 years, 7 months ago
I guess what I meant is that those who do not know how to manage or properly use fire spoil things, like campouts and fireworks, for the rest of us. You can't stop nature, or ban it, so it is only those who are dumb enough to let it get out of control that spoil it. That is what I meant. I agree, things are dry and I guess to get the dumb ones you have to ban it from everyone. Typical.
George Robertson 2 years, 7 months ago
Be careful what you say David. No matter how cautious and attentive you are, being human, You at times could be considered one of the "dumb ones". As difficult as it may be to imagine, even I have fallen into that category once. The fire ban is meant to give heightened awareness to the danger of open burning given the current conditions. Don't take offense, it's not individually directed at you.
David Moore 2 years, 7 months ago
No worries, I am one of the dumb ones quite often. I tend to live by the rule of common sense however which is something devoid in our society these days. If it is dry as a bone, don't burn anything.....that's what I am getting at. Nature is just that, nature, you can't control it and a fire ban won't do anything to control Ma nature. Bans are put in place because some people don't use their heads. Anyway, didn't mean to make this an adverse comment fest, if they put out a ban, it must be pretty bad. I will heed.

You're welcome.
So, this old guy at work today was amazing. He was just a normal old guy, minding his own business, and then his phone rang. But... His ringtone. Oh, holy shit, his ring tone. What was it, you ask? FUCKIN' "WILD THING" BY TONE LOC! Hahaha! "I LIKE TO DO THE WILD THAAAANG~" It was truly glorious.
But then this asshole came in and ruined my good mood. It was a guy in his early 40s or so, whom I shall call Neckbeard because he had a total neckbeard. With him was a young guy about a few years older than me. I was just standing there doing my job, which is being a cashier and nothing more. It is not my job to be able to answer questions about motors and such. So, I went to get my grandpa to help Neckbeard and answer his question. After I came back with my grandpa, Neckbeard said something to him like,"Maybe you should get better help."
I'm a fuckin' 16-year-old checkout girl! How would I know anything about your motor, dude? Would you rather me have just made something up? Ugh...
I don't hate all the customers, though. There are some regular ones I actually really like. All 3 of them even came in today! Tattoo Man, Mustache Man, Glove Man... Tattoo Man is this hardcore biker dude who's friends with my dad. Haha. He's pretty cool. Mustache Man has a mustache that reminds me of walruses and never treats me like shit. And Glove Man always wears gloves and even has his own nickname for me-- "Miss Beetle" because I drive a Volkswagen Beetle. Haha.
My mom and sister still haven't returned from St. Louis. It's been almost 3 weeks. It feels really natural having the house to myself; I'm not looking forward to their return. Hahaha.
Some girl is upset because she hasn't seen FCG in like, 3 days. Oh dear... Try not seeing her for almost a month! :'( I miss her beautiful face. <3 I really need to talk to her soon. It's been around 2 weeks. She was on vacation last week, so I didn't then. I'm afraid I sounded dumb last time I talked to her...
Dude, do you know what I think is the coolest damn thing ever? Those big hippie vans that people convert the interiors into a little house. I would love to be super rich so I could buy myself one of those, make it completely and utterly kick-ass on the inside, and travel around the country in it. I'd want this one!
Also, my cat decided he likes to play in the sink! It's SO CUTE!
I WANT A HIPPIE VAN TOO. When I was like, 10, my biggest dream was to take a year off before starting college, get one of those vans, deck it out with beads and lava lamps, and drive cross country in it. Then to Canada if I had time. ^_^
~I don't need no fakes around me, all I want is you to be with me...here I am...~
HOODIE NINJA I love that song! >:D
I think I first heard it on a car commercial, or something. And it got stuck in my head right away and it tortured me night and day, until I learned to love it :P

Wooten said sweet potatoes are ingredients in a wide variety of supermarket products, including spaghetti sauce and children's yogurt.
"They have great flavor, great color and versatility," Wooten said. "You can fry, boil, bake or grill it."
Increased visibility throughout the supermarket helps increase demand for fresh potatoes, Wooten said.
California skips promotions
California also has a good crop of sweet potatoes to promote. Even so, Livingston, Calif.-based cooperative California Sweet Potato Growers doesn't engage in marketing.
General manager Sarah Alvernaz, who worked for California Tree Fruit Agreement, Reedley, Calif., before joining the cooperative in 2008, said in California there is less promotional support for sweet potatoes than there is for some other produce.
She thinks it's because sweet potatoes are still widely viewed as a commodity and there is little branding beyond carton labels in some areas.
"It's not like grapes or peaches or lettuce (which have) lots of marketing dollars," Alvernaz said. "It would serve the industry well to collectively build the program."

Health Insurance Comparisons
When you begin your search for health insurance plans, make sure to thoroughly read through each of the policy's benefits and rates. See what the comparisons bring for you.
Health Savings Accounts, or HSAs, are a great way to be in control of your medical care needs. This acts as a regular saving account and IRA; it is also tax-deferred. You are only supposed to use the money you withdraw and deposit for medical expenses – otherwise there may be some expenses you will have to pay. It is also a combination with a high-deductible health plan. This is a form of consumer-driven health care; it is a system for the individual and not third parties, unlike most health plans. Another good thing about this plan is that if you don't end up using all of the money in the HSA, you can use it for retirement – this is how the IRA characteristics kick in. It is necessary for you to withdraw the money after retirement age to avoid penalties.
The deductibles for HSAs are usually between $1,100 and $5,600 for individuals and $2,200 and $11,200 for families.
Health Reimbursement Accounts, or HRAs, are also available. These are similar to HSAs, but instead, you pay for the medical expenses and are reimbursed for some or most of it – this is after you pay your deductible. These too are tax-deferred.
You should also look to your employer for health benefits. If the company has a package that looks attractive, check it out and sign up for it. You will be able to put your spouse and children on there as well. Also, take a look to see if they have COBRA; this is a continuation of coverage and will protect you and your family should you lose your job. It is temporary coverage and will hold you until you find another health plan.

Wearing Lowry's Farm x Heather white blazer, Thimble chiffon blouse, CO. by Cotton On rose gold pleated skirt, thrifted moccasins
I pretty much love this outfit because it is so comfortable and a great way to layer up because the fabrics are so lightweight. I was the model for Lowry's Farm when it launched in Bugis+ in July and they were kind enough to give me one of the outfits which I modeled and this blazer was one of them. It is really very comfortable and goes well with a lot of different outfits! I also especially love the rose gold pleated skirt from CO. by Cotton On because its color is just so pretty and it reminds me of those Roman gladiator skirts! I love rose gold accessories as well - its soft peach hue tint gives a dash of femininity to the otherwise plain gold.
This was shot at the rooftop where I live in school - yup complete with a swing - great for late nights when it is really breezy and you can see all the way to the west coast harbour.

Vegetable lasagna is a crowd-pleaser and a classic make-ahead dish. You can use precut onions, matchstick-cut carrots, and broccoli, in addition to precooked noodles, to speed up preparation. If you make it ahead, let it cool completely, then cover and chill. The next day, heat single servings in the microwave. Freeze leftovers for dinner.

In Monty Python's "Lumberjack" sketch, a reluctant, nervous, and possibly psychotic barber pretends to cut his customer's hair. Taking a solitary snip in the air, he proclaims that his job is done. Don't be ridiculous old fellow, complains his charge. "I know when a chap's cut my hair and when he hasn't. So will you please stop fooling around and get on with it?"
Joe Biden might well have a similar conversation with the American public, for his gun-control commission has taken a comparable attitude toward its work. Tasked with the grandiose goal of making sure that an incident such as Sandy Hook "cannot happen again," it has issued its report impossibly fast — one month and done. Today, on the anniversary of the ratification of the 18th Amendment, which established Prohibition, Barack Obama endorsed Biden's work. We are now to be ushered forward into broad, sunlit uplands
As in New York State, which rammed a series of "reforms" through yesterday, the real victor here was Haste, the patron saint of shoddy legislation. In Albany, the reactionary "improvements" of Governor Andrew Cuomo went from concept to law before you anyone could say, "Actually, there are some serious concerns among the state's mental-health professionals." No doubt that some of the features in the vice president's parade of Things That Must Be Done will meet the same fate.
Throughout the process, Joe Biden has not kept the public informed of his progress as much as he has collected a bunch of clichés and strung them together with the only verbs he knows. You see, folks, people are more ready for legislation than ever because of their great and spontaneous awakening, and the time to act is now. If it saves just one life, we must seize this moment and do something of critical importance to make a real difference — but don't worry if you're a hunter, because the Second Amendment won't be touched. And so on and so forth.
One cliché that Biden omitted was "Politics is the art of the possible." This is a truism, perhaps. But possibility is not a strong justification for action. Nonetheless, it appears to be the administration's operating principle. The president knows that he cannot get any meaningfully restrictive legislation through this Congress or past the American people, and so he has seen fit to outline what he can do without the legislature. To reserve as much of the action as possible to the realm of the executive order is practically and politically sensible, but it is not a blueprint for good law. If the White House believes an "assault weapons" ban or a restriction on the size of magazines is imperative, then it should steadily make that case and extend its time frame to years rather than months. Instead, it looks likely to go for a combination of very minor quick wins and larger symbolic gestures that it knows full well will die in Congress. What, a cynic might ask, are its real aims are here?

Hi Gardenweb irrigation folks, Please have look below the design provided by Rainbird. I'm ok with their layout for the front and back of the property. But I'm struggling to understand what they were thinking on the side of my property... is it me or did they go completely overboard on the number of heads?? Can someone suggest a more simple layout? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry, I should have mentioned that each square is 5ft x 5ft. |
mp, What is the operating pressure and flow rate per zone that they used for the design A legend of what the Rainbird heads are used with the flow rate and pressure loss per head supplied. Outline the zones and location of the valves would be helpful. Which side are you concerned with? Very nice drawing but hard to see clearly. JMHO Aloha |

Rediscover SoMa's stylish hot spots at Converge on Main
Main Street may be known as home to some of the best boutique shopping in town, but that doesn't mean it's been an easy ride for the dedicated indie business owners who helped make it the hip hub it is today. There have been lots of ebbs and flows over the last decade, even for some of the most successful shops on the SoMa strip. For example, after what many local retailers consider the 2007–08 peak, there was the late 2009/early 2010 fallout.
But things are starting to pick up again. To keep the momentum going, some of the strip's hot spots between East 16th and East 29th avenues have come together to put on Converge on Main, a three-hour shop hop aimed at revitalizing one of our city's most beloved neighbourhoods.
Next Thursday (July 19) between 6 and 9 p.m., 20 restaurants and stores invite you to come on down and rediscover the 'hood that put Vancouver on the hipster map. According to Glencora Twigg, the hope is to run this community-minded grassroots event twice a year without any of the red tape or membership fees involved in joining an official business association.
"We actually don't want an organization," says Twigg, the driving force behind the project and marketing manager for twigg&hottie (3671 Main Street). "We're already working so hard, so we don't need to create any more work. We just need to be on the same email chain once in a while. That way, we're not creating any more work…well, for anyone other than me," she jokes.
To sweeten the pot, stores are offering phenomenal deals. At twigg&hottie, that means a whopping 40 percent off house brand We3 Designs and 25 percent off the rest of the store's inventory (not including TOMS shoes).
Meanwhile, at C'est La Vie (3247 Main Street), shoppers can enjoy a 20-percent discount when they buy $30 or more worth of consignment clothing and/or vintage and new accessories. At Barefoot Contessa (3715 Main Street), a 21-box shipment of super-fun, sherbet-coloured frocks and skirts just arrived from indie sweetheart labels including L.A.'s Everly Clothing. They'll all be 25-percent off, along with everything else in the store.
"I think it's a good idea," says Barefoot Contessa owner Eva de Viveiros of the event. And she would know—her store has been a beacon of style on Main Street for almost 15 years. In that time, she's had to adapt to ever-changing economic realities and shopping trends. As she recalls, right after the 2007/2008 boutique heyday—when recession panic started to affect people's shopping habits—certain landlords caught wind of store owners' earlier success.
"They went a little crazy and doubled people's rent, which killed some businesses," de Viveiros says. "Guess they didn't get the memo that it [their success] had peaked and passed."
Thankfully, though, Barefoot business managed to survive virtually unscathed because de Viveiros has got a superb eye when it comes to flirty, fun dresses. You can bet there's going to be some pretty sweet finds there come this July 19.
And if that's not incentive enough, if you show a receipt from any of the participating clothing boutiques at any of the participating restaurants—including Locus (4121 Main Street), Slickity Jim's Chat 'n' Chew (3475 Main Street), and Portland Craft (3835 Main Street)—you'll get some fab deals on food and drink.
And really, is there anything more fun for fashionistas than celebrating a new clothing purchase with a nice refreshing (not to mention discounted) summer cocktail? I think not. So if you haven't been to Main Street in a while, here's the perfect opportunity.

Try to keep the routine as normal or stable as possible, don't change his feed! and it would be better for him to be able to run around in a paddock than be cooped up in a stable feeling stressed.
Well, I'm moving my boy to a new barn tomorrow... it's much, much closer to my house and has an arena twice the size of my old barn, plus I'm going to full care and will have more time for actually RIDING. Anyways I'm most worried about his transition - what can I do to make it least stressful? He's a former race horse so I know he's done lots of trailering but I know he's going to miss his BFF pasture buddies. Any ideas ???

Somewhere behind the rider you've become, the hours of practice you've put in, and the coaches that have pushed you, is the little girl who fell in love with horses and never looked back. Ride for her.
I always give my guys a gut supplement like Probios when we travel, it makes it a bit easier.
If he has stall toys, etc, make sure you can set them up the way he likes them. Bringing your grain and even the same hay may also help.

Remember to take a bale or two of your old hay. Feed it to him at the new barn for a couple days, then introduce the new barn's hay until he's being fed only new barn hay. When you introduce him to the various points of the property, I advise doing it after a decent ride or lunge so he's in a relaxed or even tired mindset.
yes, I will definitely bring his "old" hay and feed to make that change gradually. he will have daily turnout at new barn too, so that part of his routine won't change... I'm probably more worried than I should be but I just want things to go smoothly!
Because Chavo is only at home 3-4 months a year, and moves between our farm, our trainers farm and the winter boarding facility he transitions well mentally. However, I've noticed when I have to move my guy, drinking water becomes an issue with him. He normally does not like the taste of the water at the new farm at first and takes him about 2 weeks to start drinking properly again. I've actually had to have the vet out to give him fluids. She suggested bringing several gallons of water from the previous facility to the one he is moved to, and add a half bucket of the "old" water to the "new" water until the old is gone. Unfortunately this just isn't an efficient way to keep him drinking. Well I found a product that helps him transition well to the new water and is guaranteed to get a horse to drink. It really does work, so now I always keep a couple packets in our tack box. It might be helpful...
Make sure you also give the horse a few days to acclimate to the new surroundings, sounds, smells, etc., before you expect a lot. There will be a lot of new stimuli.

The monorail ichallenge is somethin gi do on anything moving including busses, boats, the monorail, anything like that. Its always so fun. Its something so small that would seem easy but at first is just weird and somewhat difficult.
Ive also done that hands up thing on rollercoasters, but not through the exiting area and shops. I would be kinda embarrased for that sort of thing, but then again i love doing goofy embarrasing things so who knows if i would do that sometime.
It seems like those are kinda fun things to do with friends to make a ride youve been on more interesting, although it takes awhile to get to that point in disney world for me
