For the next few months in Michigan it's sunny and warm outside so why would you want to always do your workout inside in a hot and smelly gym?
Especially, when you can be outside enjoying yourself and your workout in the green grass and warm sunshine!
Most are surprised when I tell them how very little equipment you actually need to get a full body workout outside.
You can get a great workout outside in your own backyard and the park with just a few basic moves and with equipment you can find at almost any park. You can even workout outside with your kids and family and have fun!
I recently appeared on Grand Rapids own WZZM Channel 13's "Take Five and Company" to discuss this very thing.
You can watch the video below:

Oprah has made the official announcement. She is back over 200 lbs. I watch her show quite frequently and it has become very noticeable that her weight has once again dramatically increased since her 2006 weight of 160. Her current weight and body fat percentage would put her in the obese category and at put her at a much greater risk for heart disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol and diabetes.
She writes in her new January O magazine that "She has fallen off the wagon," that "I am very mad at myself," and "I'm embarrassed."
1. I would have her STOP making excuses and take some responsibility for her actions. She also likes to blame her thyroid condition. She at one time admitted that once she was diagnosed she was afraid to exercise and ate whatever she wanted. Admitting that it is her actions that got her to where she is and not someone else or something else in her body. I am not saying the slow thyroid isn't a real issue with someone and it can make it hard to lose weight, but there is still a lot of things Oprah could and should be doing to combat the fat.
2. I would take her off the long slow boring cardio routine. From what I have seen and hear, she tries to walk for 30-60 minutes a day (when she was exercising). I would have Oprah doing shorter more intense cardio sessions and have her do some incline speed walking or running. This would stimulate her metabolism and also be a shock to her system to burn more fat.
3. I would have her doing at least 3-4 days a week of high intensity circuit training with weights. Thirty minutes of total body resistance training with heavier weights will be more efficient for her and will shift her body into a fat burning mode. From this circuit training she would also tone the muscles and create feminine shapes.
4. I would have Oprah eating supportive meals every 3 hours six days a week and allow a one day a week reward day where there are no rules and she can eat whatever she wants. She will feel so lousy after over indulging reward day, that she won't want to eat that junk for another week.
5. Lastly, I would have Oprah reexamine her goals and what she really wants from her life. This will remind her WHY she wants to lose weight and how her life would be different because of it. I would have her understand about how bad and uncomfortable her life would be if she continues to gain weight. I would have her see how much different her life could be if she lost 50 lbs.
Well there it is! My 5 Ways to get Oprah back to her to a healthy weight.
These 5 steps will work for anyone looking to lose fat and keep it off for good!

Sales Associate - Keyholder Interview
I applied in-person – interviewed at Music & Arts Center (Atlanta, GA) in June 2012.
Cold called asking about a job for 3 years (i was 15 at first) and they finally gave it to me at 18 because they needed rental temps. after rescheduling interview twice, I was sat down with 2 managers. The DM, and store manager, and they were extremely basic with their questions. "How long have you known about the company, what instruments do you play" and was very quickly hired.
if you know the difference between brass and woodwind, and a violin and a viola you will be fine.

Ninth Circuit Adopts National Obscenity Standard in Adult Website Spam Case
By Ian B. Brooks – Edited by Alissa Del Riego
United States v. Kilbride, No. 07-10528 (9th Cir. Oct. 28, 2009)
The Ninth Circuit has affirmed the District Court for the District of Arizona, which had convicted and sentenced defendants Jeffery Kilbride and James Schaffer of transporting obscene materials for sale.
The Ninth Circuit held that a national community standard "must be applied in regulating obscene speech on the Internet, including obscenity disseminated via email." United States v. Kilbride, No. 07-10528 at 14492 (9th Cir. Oct. 28, 2009). Defendant Internet spammers Kilbride and Schaffer had appealed their convictions for interstate transportation for sale of obscene material in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1462 and 1465. Judge Fletcher of the 9th Circuit examined the opinions of the fragmented Justices in the Supreme Court's opinion in Ashcroft v. ACLU for guidance in reaching his conclusion that a national community standard would not pose the constitutional concerns that a local community standard would. Ashcroft v. ACLU, 535 U.S. 564 (2002)
Eric Goldman provides an overview of the case. Orin Kerr, of The Volokh Conspiracy, criticizes the Ninth Circuit's reasoning in the case. Kerr argues that the Ninth Circuit should have followed the precedent set in Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15 (1973), wherein local "contemporary community standards" were applied. (more…)

Six hundred campanologists will tunefully ring out their bicycle bells in a Guinness World Record attempt at the start of the Prudential RideLondon FreeCycle this summer, when 50,000 cyclists are expected to revel in vehicle-free streets of the capital.
At 9am on August 9, 2014, in the Guildhall Yard, conductor Dominic Wheeler – with the help of a raft of Guildhall School of Music students and volunteers – will orchestrate a rendition of Westminster Chimes and surpass the previous record for largest ensemble of bicycle bells (set in Leipzig in 2003 with 503 participants).
The free-to-enter Prudential RideLondon FreeCycle, which commences soon after, follows a 10.5-mile route, encouraging young and old, families and friends to snake casually through London on two wheels. The course takes in world-famous landmarks – including Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square and St Paul's Cathedral, among many others – as well as five festival areas where there will be various activities, from Bling-Your-Bike zones to penny-farthing polo. It also marks the start of a two-day celebration of cycling.
Last August's inaugural Prudential RideLondon included the Prudential RideLondon FreeCycle and Grand Prix – showcasing pro women, handcycling and juniors – on the Saturday and, the following day, the London-Surrey 100 and the London-Surrey Classic (the same four elements that make up this year's event). The weekend surpassed all expectations; almost 66,000 people rode 2.5 million miles and raised more than £7 million for charities – both new records for a mass-participation cycling event.
Hugh Brasher, the man in charge of raising the bar even higher as event director, says: "Prudential RideLondon FreeCycle is a really unique and special occasion. It's about getting people in to cycling and enjoying traffic-free streets of London. And what a typically British way to kick things off: encouraging people to be part of breaking a Guinness World Record with bicycle bells."
It's one of a great number of exciting goings-on during the weekend, which will culminate in the Prudential RideLondon–Surrey Classic, where 150 of the world's top male riders will be straining every sinew to finish first along the Mall.
"The event was inspired by the Olympics – the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 and Classic are pretty much the road race routes from the Games two years ago, Box Hill and all – and is a legacy of 2012," continues Brasher.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson urges everyone to get involved in the Prudential RideLondon FreeCycle event. "It is the perfect time to hop on your bike and take in some of the city's iconic sights," he says.
"Thousands of Londoners will be taking part, from the Lycra brigade to newcomers. It promises to be a fantastic celebration of the humble bicycle and our great city," he adds.
Get involved
Last year the inaugural Prudential RideLondon was such a success that this summer's event, on August 9-10, 2014, is expected to be even bigger.
The two-day cycling festival includes the London-Surrey Classic and 100-mile challenge, as well as the Grand Prix, featuring elite women, juniors and handcycling, and the FreeCycle.
To take part in the Guinness World Record bicycle bell ensemble, register at prudentialridelondon.co.uk/freecycle, where you can also sign up for the FreeCycle itself.

Discussion in 'Star Wars TV' started by Nexumaster, Apr 12, 2013.
I guess I need to give WB a call then.
I bought my set on Amazon and after complaining the proceeded to send yet another faulty set. Complete series set that is.
Theycametheycametheycame! DHL's delivery gaffe notwithstanding that meant my corrected "collector's edition" BDs arrived an hour ago rather than Thursday, I am currently "The [F]lawless" in all its audio-synced glory. Once again, I cannot emphasize enough the good will WB showed us TCW fans in the form of the Sherri Bogard. Mad props to her. And, as an aside, I could not be happier, having a disc graced with Hondo Ohnaka, my hands-down fave TCW character. Back to the viewing feast! Hopes to all y'all in getting these ASAP!
EDIT: My set, too, was accompanied by a very gracious letter replete with signature (scanned, I'm pretty sure, not personally inscribed...but no one can blame her--she's likely fielding 100s, no 1000s, of requests!) A personalized letter with scanned signature is far above what I expected. Way to go, WB Customer Satisfaction crew. Ok. Back to a sunny day in the void!
Also, I made sure to note that it was disc 2 of the season 5 set and not the complete series set. Just an FYI to those who have yet to call.
Called WB for an update this morning, and they said they received the corrected discs, and mine shipped out on 12/18. Looking forward to this. I hope they recall and replace these sets in stores so everyone doesn't have to go through all of this.
Well this is weird... I never had to send in my bad discs to get them to ship me a replacement, but I only got Disc 2 from the Complete Season 5 set--the Ahsoka one--and yet, I have the Complete Seasons 1-5 box, and told them that. It seems they've mixed up which is which.
Comments from Blu-ray.com suggest that others are experiencing this as well.
I finally called today and I mentioned that people were getting the opposite of what they were supposed to. He seemed like he knew about the problem and said it had been fixed. I guess I will find out when mine arrive.
So let's consolidate here. What do everyone's discs look like. I got two discs (after explaining I purchased Season Five): they have the same shot of Saw Gerrera (tho with swirled blue background rather than the "matrix-y"falling green rain) on disc one, but a shot of Hondo Ohnaka (on said swirled blue) instead of Ahsoka on the green rain. Both also say "Collectors' Edition" rather than "Season Five." You guys?
And I'm still waiting for UK Warner Brothers to even get their replacement discs in!
I got the complete series Hondo disc instead of the Season 5 disc 2 I requested. At this point though, I'll just keep the Ahsoka disc for the artwork, because quite frankly, I'm tired of this while fiasco. The disc works great, the audio is properly synced, so I am happy.
Same here, not receiving them is one thing but not getting any update about it from WB UK is what's starting to bother me.
I sent them an email a few days ago and the latest was they hadn't received the corrected discs. It's a bit annoying as I am dying to watch Season 5 again. If I haven't got them by the end of January I will be making a complaint.
http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=224682&page=33&highlight=clone wars
Post #651 at that link has several videos showing opening the replacement disc and clips of the fixed audio vs. problem audio.
I haven't watched Disc 1 in its entirety, but were there sync issues with any of those episodes?
I didn't note the times, but there were a few moments in the Onderon arc where the audio was slightly out of sync. Not nearly as bad as disk 2 though.
I'll second that since I actually noticed it first on this arc.
In case you need correct artworks and label details of the corrected discs similar to the discs in the set that you purchased; according to postings in the link posted by
@Obimus Primobi at the above, just e-mail to WB. They will provide you with correct discs and let you keep the old one. Me, I'm really really happy with what they'd shipped to me.
That makes two of us
Ha, today they fixed their mix-up and sent the disc with the proper art, without me even prompting them. Would have liked to have had Disc 1 replaced as well, just in case, but I can't complain.
Thumbs up to WB! Despite the audio goof, which I would not have caught had I not frequented the forums, they did a good job replacing discs. I returned home from vacation and awaiting me were two envelopes: the complete series disc which I did not ask for, and the season 5 disc with an apology letter.
Watched disc 2 today FINALLY and had a blast!
I came home to an awesome surprise--- I received 2 packages in the mail. The first was the replacement disc with the corrected artwork that WB seems to be taking care of on their own. The second was a thick bubble wrapped package directly from Sherri Bogard with a signed letter thanking me for bringing this issue to the attention of WHV and as a token of appreciation, I got a set of BOTH discs from the corrected blu ray set, each in a plastic case. I included pics below. Thanks Sherri and thanks WB!
Ms. Bogard also signed a similar letter I received with my replacement discs. Sherri is the real hero of the BR set and she deserves a raise IMO. It's nice to have a customer service rep who genuinely seems to care about doing her job well.
I too received this.
How bad is this sync issue ? (thinking of buying Season 5 )

Q: How is this team different than it has been over the last few years?
A: We have a lot more structure. I think the guys are following what the coaching staff is telling us. With (coach) Bruce (Boudreau) here, he's been the biggest difference.

from Tarik El-Bashir of Capitals Insider,
Here's the latest on the Caps' goalie situation. You might want to take a seat.
Jose Theodore is, in fact, hurt. He is day-to-day with a hip flexor. I'm not sure when this injury happened.
The Caps have summoned Simeon Varlamov from Hershey and he hopes to arrive from Houston in time to be on the Caps' bench by the second period. He'll backup Brent Johnson. Eventually.
continued with more on the the first period backup goalie, Brett Leonhardt.
And there's more on Leonhardt also available from the Associated Press via the Globe & Mail.
ARLINGTON, Va. – The Washington Capitals have recalled goaltender Simeon Varlamov (SIHM-yahn VAR-la-mohv) from the American Hockey League's Hershey Bears and reassigned forward Oskar Osala and defenseman Sean Collin to Hershey, vice president and general manager George McPhee announced today.

Nylander Hard To Move
by Paul on 12/12/08 at 04:44 PM ET

Tarik El-Bashir, the Caps beat writer for the Washington Post, did an online Q & A today…
Annandale, Va.: My neighbor Alexandria wouldn't ask you about Nylander, but I will. He is definitely struggling. Do you know if the Caps are still trying to move him?
Tarik El-Bashir: All of the injuries put the brakes on the Nylander to Chicago trade speculation. But now that the Caps are getting healthy again, I expect them to start heating up any minute now.
Nylander is really struggling to find his place on this team and in Boudreau's system. It's to the point now where I'm not sure he ever will. The problem is it's really, really hard to make a trade, especially when the player is older (36) and has a big cap hit ($4.875 million).

Winning But Still Losing

via Ted Leonsis at Ted's Take,
...we have grown our payroll and related expenses faster than we have grown our revenues so we will LOSE more money this season than we did last season. And that loss will be way more than $5 million for the year.
But there is good news. We can't grow our payroll anymore. We are at the cap max basically so any additional revenue growth cuts into the losses. The business model is not fixed but it has improved dramatically with the new CBA for us in DC. Thanks to our fans but we have miles to go before we sleep. I would be celebrating if we lost $5 million this year on our hockey team. That would mean we would have won a Stanley Cup in four 7 game series. Even then, I bet our loss would be more than $5 million.

Every NHL team must cope with injuries during the course of the grueling 82-game regular season, but the recent run of ailments that has ravaged the Washington Capitals' roster is so rare that the players, coaches and general manager can only shake their heads in disbelief.
When the Capitals host the Florida Panthers tonight at Verizon Center, they might be without seven players who started the season on the active roster for a fourth consecutive game.

Theodore was lights out, stopping all 28 shots he faced to beat Montreal and settle an old score against his former team. The 32-year-old goalie was the No. 1 star of the game for the first time as Cap, earned his first shutout as a Cap, and got his first standing ovation as a Cap….
Carbonneau on Theodore: "He was good. He was lucky at sometimes but sometimes you make your luck. He made the save when he had to, but we didn't really test him."

NHL and Technology

Earlier today, Forechecker pointed to an interview that Sharkspage posted with Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis. I wanted to reference the interview here on the main KK Hockey feed as well, just in case anyone missed the earlier post. It's really a fascinating read for anyone interested in the issues of technology and media as it pertains to the NHL.
Leonsis provides a great deal of detail about how the league does—and will—utilize technology to support its business model. In his words:
"We lifted up [our business enterprise], put the internet underneath, and then slammed it back down so it is the powerplant the pretty much drives everything that we do."

Boston - If Joel Hanrahan can do for the Boston Red Sox what he did against them, they should be very happy with their new closer.
In the first of his two All-Star seasons, the right-hander posted back-to-back saves for the Pittsburgh Pirates with perfect ninth innings against the Red Sox in June 2011. He struck out Adrian Gonzalez, who entered the series batting .359, to end the second game.
"When people look back on me as a Pirate, that's the one that stands out the most to them," Hanrahan said Wednesday after being obtained in a six-player trade.
People such as Red Sox assistant general manager Brian O'Halloran.
"It definitely made an impression on me," he said. "It was not fun to be in the batter's box against Joel Hanrahan."
Now American League hitters will see what it's like.
Boston completed the deal Wednesday, also receiving infielder Brock Holt. The Red Sox gave up right-handers Mark Melancon and Stolmy Pimentel, infielder Ivan DeJesus Jr. and first baseman-outfielder Jerry Sands.
The Red Sox also announced the signing of free agent shortstop Stephen Drew, who agreed to a one-year contract early last week. That reported $9.5 million deal was contingent on the former Oakland Athletic and Arizona Diamondback, who broke his ankle in 2011, passing a physical.
"We feel that he's going to be fully healthy for us," O'Halloran said.
The acquisition of Drew and Hanrahan are the latest in a series of moves designed to improve on a 69-93 record and a last-place finish in the AL East. The Red Sox already have obtained right-handers Ryan Dempster and Koji Uehara, outfielders Shane Victorino and Johnny Gomes and catcher David Ross.
Over the past two seasons, Hanrahan had 76 saves, fourth most in the National League, and a 2.24 ERA. Last season, he was 5-2 with a 2.72 ERA and 36 saves.
The six-year veteran will take over the closer's role that Alfredo Aceves struggled in most of last season before giving way to Andrew Bailey, who had missed most of the season with a right thumb injury.
In his first season with Boston, Bailey was 1-1 with a 7.04 ERA and six saves in nine opportunities over 19 games.
Manager John Farrell has talked with Hanrahan and Bailey and told them that Hanrahan will be the closer, although "we see Andrew as playing a very important role," O'Halloran said.
The Red Sox's search for a closer began when Jonathan Papelbon signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia Phillies after the 2011 season.
Hanrahan figured he was part of that quest when he heard his name in trade rumors involving the Red Sox, Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Dodgers.
"I got excited" when he learned of the trade, Hanrahan said. "Obviously, the Red Sox have a great history and tradition and it's a huge sports city."
In six seasons, 2 � with the Washington Nationals and 3 � with the Pirates, he's 22-17 with a 3.74 ERA and 96 saves in 117 chances. His best season was 2011 when he went 1-4 with a 1.83 ERA and 40 saves.

Broker Bulletin: 2012-1080 Attention: Broker Correspondents July 9, 2012 Topic: UPDATED - USDA Rural Refinance Pilot Program Summary: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development (RD) is now offering the opportunity for current USDA Section 502 Direct and Guaranteed borrowers to refinance their existing USDA loans through the recently announced Rural Refinance Pilot program. The Rural Refinance Pilot program allows borrowers in 19 states to take advantage of the historically low interest rates with reduced documentation requirements. UNM Wholesale is proud to support this program introduced by the USDA, and we are pleased to assist current USDA Section 502 Guaranteed and Direct homeowners in taking advantage of current refinance opportunities. When processing and submitting your USDA Rural Refinance Pilot loans for sale to UNM Wholesale, as outlined in Administrative Notice (AN) 4615, the closed loan file does not require: a new appraisal, the HUD Handbook certifications, or any additional property inspections. *** EW - Additionally, U M Wholesale allows eligible closing costs to be included in the refinance loan amount without a new appraisal. *** However, Lenders must be able to document that the borrower's existing mortgage has been current for the previous 12 months. Lenders may utilize a Verification of Mortgage (VOM) for evidence of mortgage payment history. However, UNM Wholesale will pull a current copy of the borrower's credit report to assess the proper risk based scoring pricing adjustments. The tri-merge credit report must be dated within 30 days of application and is used to validate the clean mortgage history and credit scoring for pricing. No further review of the credit report will be required, except for review of the borrower's credit score and mortgage history. *Only the mortgage liability needs to populate the liabilities section. Components of the USDA Rural Refinance Pilot program include: Broker Bulletin 2012- 1080 • New loan may include the principal balance of the existing loan plus accrued interest, and any eligible closing costs, and the upfront guarantee fee. • The interest rate on the new loan must be a minimum of 1.00% lower than the existing USDA loan. • UNM Wholesale Pilot States: CA, FL, IN, KY, MI, NC, OH, SC & TN. • All Rural Refinance Pilot loans must be manually underwritten. GUS is not available for the Rural Refinance Pilot loans. • The new term of the refinance loan must be 30 years. • The upfront USDA guarantee fee will be 1.50%. • The applicable Annual Fee will be .30%. • No cash out is permitted. • Reasonable and customary closing costs and other fees may be collected from the borrower by the originating lender. However, the origination fee charged to the borrower may not exceed one percent of the total loan amount. As a reminder, none of these charges may be financed into the new loan amount. *The loan origination fee cannot exceed 1% in any instance, not to be confused with lender charges on the RESPA GFE which can exceed 1% with underwriting, employment verification, etc. • A fully executed RD Form 1980-21 "Request for Single Family Housing Loan Guarantee" is required. • Income verification for all adult household members is required for income eligibility determination. Household income is necessary for determining program eligibility only, not for determining repayment ability. Therefore, ratio waivers are not required. *Standard income information is required to determine eligibility (Tax Returns, Pay-Stubs, etc.) but will not be factored into underwriting, that's purely for USDA eligibility. *The borrower's employment and income is listed on the 1003, any family income must be documented and when the party is not an applicant, listed in detail in General Comments. • UNM Wholesale will require all borrowers to be employed at the time of the closing on the refinance transaction or have alternate sources of income, such as: Broker Bulletin 2012- 1080 retirement income, social security income, disability income, alimony or child support. *All loans will require a full commitment from USDA. *The main benefit of the program is the lack of an appraisal and lack of income and debt ratio qualifying. The credit is graded by the mortgage history solely (and credit score for pricing). In order to clearly identify your Rural Refinance Pilot loans, please clearly mark the U M Wholesale Loan Submission Form as a Rural Refinance Pilot Loan upon submission. Please contact your locally assigned Account Executive with any questions. Loans sold to Union ational Mortgage Co. Wholesale must comply with all federal and state regulations as well as Union ational Mortgage Co. Wholesale guidelines.

Farm Call: Your Questions Answered
Geldings and Equine Viral Arteritis (EVA)
October 12, 2001
Q: Is it possible for a gelding to have equine viral arteritis? I've read all about this disease in mares and stallions, but I have not read anything about it in geldings.
A: It is certainly possible for a gelding to develop this disease. All categories of horses are
Pre-Purchase Exams
October 01, 2001
Q: Over the years, I've had a number of pre-purchase exams done on my horses. I've come to realize that one vet will read an X ray and say a horse has arthritis, osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), navicular problems, etc., but when you have a different vet read the same X rays, they will come up with totally different findings. Why is
Disposal of Euthanized Animals
October 01, 2001
Q. Q: I work at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Md., with the Marine Animal Rescue Program. Occasionally a large marine mammal requires euthanasia. Are there risks to other animals that may eat the carcass of a euthanized horse or other animal?
Wry Nose in Horses?
October 01, 2001
Q. I would like information on wry nose (laterally deviated rostral maxilla). I had a foal born with it and never heard of it before then. I would like to know what causes it and any other information about this condition. Also, how common is it in horses?
Spleen Problems
September 17, 2001
Q. I remember reading that a horse's spleen is unique, but my friend said that horses don't even have a spleen. What's the truth?
Tying-Up Syndrome
September 13, 2001
I just bought a Thoroughbred filly which was in race training, but retired without running because of recurrent bouts of 'tying-up.' She had been turned out for six months before I got her, and never showed any problems while on the farm. What can you tell me about this disease?
Tying-up is a syndrome or description of a horse with muscle damage that has many different causes
Life After Colic Surgery
August 01, 2001
Q: My horse had successful colic surgery about 3 1/2 years ago. He is now for sale, but as soon as someone hears that he had the surgery, they are no longer interested and ignore all the good points about the horse. Is there any statistical data that shows a correlation between colic surgery and future health?
If All Else Fails, Use Baycox?
August 01, 2001
Several Standardbred trainers have told me that when a vet cannot find what is wrong with their horses, the vet will suggest putting them on Baycox. I recently had two vets tell me to try my 3-year-old trotter on Baycox. They had gone all over him and thought that might help him where nothing else has. He has had no tests, blood or spinal. So my question is: What else can this drug do to
Manure Eating in Adult Horse
July 01, 2001
We have a seven-year-old draft cross gelding who was treated for Lyme disease in October of 2000 with 8 grams of doxycycline (a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic) twice daily for three weeks. Since that time, and not previously, we have witnessed him eating fresh manure of his pasture mates. We presumed that daily probiotics (Accel) would restore the gut flora, which we assumed he wa
Who Owns Radiographs?
June 01, 2001
Q. Q: My vet took some X rays of my horse's legs. I paid the bill in full, but when I asked for the X rays, he said they belonged to him and not me. Is this correct? If I'm charged for the X rays, why can't I have them? A: Many veterinarians run into this situation, not only equine veterinarians. To the client, it makes sense that he or she would own the radiographs (X rays) since he or she paid...
The Club Foot
June 01, 2001
Q: After seeing the conformation of several weanlings at a sale recently, I noticed that my weanling had a strange-looking foot. On closer examination of his leg, his foot seemed a bit boxy. Will I still be able to sell him at the sales next year, and will he be able to perform as an athlete? My veterinarian said it sounds like he has a club foot. What does this mean?

Q. This morning my Quarter Horse gelding was lame to the point where he did not want to bear any weight on his left hind foot. My barn manager thinks it might be a sole bruise. What is a sole bruise? What should I do about it until my vet arrives?
June 01, 2001
Q: My yearling has broken out with warts around his mouth. These warts have become quite unsightly. How do I treat him, and will they come back? Should I quarantine him so he does not spread the warts to my other horses?
A: Warts are caused by the papillomavirus, and they usually appear as blemishes on the face, mouth, or nose regions in younger
Young Foal Exercise
June 01, 2001
When do I start my foal on an exercise program? My champion show jumper just gave birth to a foal a couple of weeks ago, and I want to give him every advantage possible since I have plans for him to be my next champion show jumper. What type of exercise should I start him with, and when?
An exercise program designed to build muscle
Graveled Horses
June 01, 2001
Q: My horse became very lame without showing any signs of cracks, bruising, or having a "hot" nail. The barn manager said my horse was "graveled" and called the veterinarian. After treatment, the horse became fine, but since my horse is never on gravel, could you please explain the term?
A: The diagnosis of a
Dirty Mares
June 01, 2001
Q. Vet Q&A: My veterinarian said my mare probably didn't conceive this year because she was "dirty." We treated her and cleared up her problem, but what are our chances of getting her pregnant, and could she get "dirty" again? A: The term "dirty mare" can be very complicated, and one that applies to as many as 85% of broodmares that have problems conceiving.
Headshaking Problem
June 01, 2001
My horse is driving me crazy! Every time we go out to ride, he starts flipping his head. I've changed his bridle, put on gallons of fly wipe, and had his ears and eyes checked. What is his problem, and what else can I try?
Headshaking in horses has been observed by horsemen and veterinarians for nearly 100 years. Several causes have been suggested, including middle ear disorders
Stall Walking
June 01, 2001
Q. I have a yearling Thoroughbred that constantly circumnavigates his stall. This is causing an uneven wear pattern on his hooves. How do I stop him from doing this? We do not want to put him in a standing stall, and have tried hanging a tire in the stall to no avail. He is outside when the weather is good and is quite happy there.
Gas Colic
June 01, 2001
Q. Question and answer about gas colic in horses, including causes, symptoms/clinical signs, and recommended treatments in both adult horses and foals. Gas colic is an extremely common reason for horses to exhibit signs of abdominal pain and, fortunately, one that has a very good prognosis for survival.
High-Performance Broodmares?
June 01, 2001
Q. Q: I have heard that breeding a mare does irreversible damage to the ligaments, tendons, and muscles -- that once a mare is bred, she can't return to the performance ring, i.e., reining. Any reports or information on mares that have been returned to the performance ring after being bred would be greatly appreciated. A: This is utter nonsense--many mares compete at the highest levels after...
Muscle Toning and Development
June 01, 2001
A number of horses I've seen appear to have asymmetrical muscle development, particularly over the shoulder area, which can make saddle fitting difficult. Many publications seem to say that the larger shoulder indicates that the horse is having to work harder with this leg and that muscle mass has therefore increased--just like with a weight lifter. However, I have also heard that the
Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis (HYPP) and Breeding
May 01, 2001
Q. I have a 6-year-old Quarter Horse mare N/H (heterozygous) for hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HYPP), and a lot of vets have told me that I can breed her to a Thoroughbred, and the baby should be fine. Would she be OK if I get her bred this year?
Disinfecting For Strangles
May 01, 2001
I have a pony on a farm where strangles has broken out. There are about 80 horses on this farm on about 100 acres (split into different pastures). We don't know where the infection started, but horses which show signs are being treated. What do you do about a farm that is so big with so many horses? How do you treat that big of a problem? Can you spray the pastures with a bleaching agent?
Deworming Drugs
April 01, 2001
I wanted to ask if any vets or horse owners have heard of problems with the Quest wormer. I have heard from two different people in two different horse areas that this wormer has caused some problems for horses such as stomach aches or mild colic, and a family member's gelding got a belly ache after being wormed with Quest. If anyone has heard of this, I'd really like to hear about it. I'
Bute and the Urinary Tract
April 01, 2001
Can you direct me to any information regarding the effect of phenylbutazone (Bute) on the urinary tract of a gelding, specifically symptoms and prognosis for full recovery?
Phenylbutazone works by inhibiting the formation of prostaglandins, the chemical byproducts of inflammation. Prostaglandins appear to have an influence on perfusion (blood

Shock Corridor Reviews
(1963) Shock Corridor
Written and directed by Samuel Fuller, and despite the critical acclaimed rating, I just wanted to say that before I watched this movie, the ending had already been revealed to me way before I had even started watching it, meaning that the surprising ending effect, had been lost way before the movie was even over. Furthermore, the movie already made suggestions sometime at the beginning, about what viewers are going to expect in advanced. It regards an egotistical, ambitious journalist, Johnny Barrett (Peter Breck) attempting to solve an unsolved murder at a mental institution for the prestigious Pulitzer prize as his goal. He does this by pretending to act like one, for the intention of inquiring 3 specific mental patients who were said to be there when the murder occurred. What viewers are going to subject themselves to, are more than a hours worth of insane people screaming and babbling over nothing, just because this is what they do. There's a reason why I'm not a huge fan of these type of movies that dwell much of it's time in insane institutions, and this is precisely the reason. It is because, I as a sane viewer would have to subject myself to a considerable amount of time listening to actors/ actresses acting insane, even when viewers had already figured out the movie's point way before the movie is even over- it's like witnessing unnecessary additional scenes, just because it's supposed to be a two hour movie.
Footnote: Although, the movie is initially in black and white, it's dream sequences are in color.
2 out of 4 stars
This is a fantastic film, full of nightmarish imagery. Some films have beautiful and nice looking imagery, and this movie has the exact opposite. There are close ups with nice shadow, hallucinations, and all sorts of visual aids to show Johnny's descent into madness.
Constance Towers backs him up as his doting wife, but also has a few issues of her own. She has to pretend to be his sister and that he is in love with her, and is also a burlesque dancer who makes a few mistakes when it comes to his treatment at the facility.
Taking its time with the plot and slowly building up to its climax, Shock Corridor is a scary film even though its not a horror movie and it stretches its genre conventions for some excellent imagery and thrills.

Universal Wrapping Paper
29K views
BoredPanda staff
You can never overestimate the importance of gift-wrapping! Not only beautifully wrapped gifts look more attractive, it can also save your ass in case you give someone a really lame gift, because the action of unwrapping gifts itself is one of the best parts of receiving presents.
However, because there are so many different occasions (Christmas, birthdays, Valentine's day, etc.) the beautiful wrapping paper with Santa you bought for Christmas probably won't work for Bob's birthday. [Read more...]
You can choose your celebration between 20 different occasions:/ MERRY CHRISTMAS / HAPPY BIRTHDAY / HAPPY VALENTINES DAY / HAPPY EASTER / HAPPY THANKSGIVING / I LOVE YOU / I MISS YOU / HAPPY NAMEDAY / CONGRATULATIONS / HAPPY RETIREMENT / RECOVER SOON / GREETINGS WITH LOVE / YOU ARE THE BEST / FOR DAD / FOR MOM / ENJOY / ALL THE BEST / IT IS NOT A TIE / IT IS NOT A PERFUME.

BNP Paribas Open 3.14.12
I finally made it to the practice courts today. There was a little more mystery today as to who would be practicing when because the screens showing the practice sessions were not giving complete information. It was nice, however, to get to stumble upon Rafael Nadal practicing without every seat around the courts filled an hour in advance. It reminded me of the tournament five years ago when they didn't announce the practice schedule.
My morning started out with Feliciano Lopez, Sam Stosur, Ana Ivanovic practicing. Petra Kvitova was also practicing with Yanina Wickmayer. It was a pretty intimate feel on court as no one was really watching them. Richard Gasquet and Grigor Dimitrov were on a practice court next to Jo Wilfried Tsonga and Julien Benneteau. Again, the malfunctioning practice schedule really helped out as the courts were fairly empty.
To my surprise, forty minutes after play began, Novak Djokovic was already a set up on Pablo Andujar. To go from a 0-6 thumping to a 7-6 victory in the second set was quite impressive from Andujar. Nevertheless, Djokovic showed why he's the number one player in the world, winning the third set.
Meanwhile, Rafael Nadal had a quieter practice session at least until Djokovic won. Isner made quick work of Matthew Ebden while Sam Querry warmed up for their match later that day. Gael Monfils was also on court playing four-square soccer while Gasquet played actual soccer on the field. The entire French contingent would have a soccer showdown later in the evening on the field.
Victoria Azarenka took apart Agnieska Radwanska. Rafael Nadal also had a strong match against Alexandr Dolgopolov. I expected Dolgopolov to give Nadal more trouble, but Rafael held pretty strong as Alexandr made many unforced errors.
Sam Querry and John Isner went the distance Richard Gasquet and Paul Hanley and come out with a win as Roger Federer went a set down to Thomaz Bellucci. Federer held back and won as did Gilles Simon, who had a hard fought victory against Ryan Harrison. The score line in the third set didn't do justice to how hard Harrison fought, but Simon deserved the victory.

New York in Twilight
The latest series by photographers Horst and Daniel Zielske portrays a New York that is completely unreal. Just as they have done before in their Shanghai pictures, father and son began to capture their impressions of a global city through a series of breath-taking images. Rather than relying on the perspectives used in Asia, however, they developed their own, unique style for New York.
The pictures are rarely taken in daylight, shot instead at dawn or at night. Artificial light sources, however, are omnipresent: Street lamps, traffic lights, advertising boards, illuminated lettering, or spotlights on buildings and bridges. The scenes depicted appear almost like film sets – staged reality, illuminated by distracting lights.
Brooklyn Bridge and the East River are shown in twilight, glistening in silvery black & white thanks to artificial lighting. In the Bronx, New York is revealed to us in a subtle red tone through a street corner under the elevated train, with yellowy brown shades covering the view of Chelsea. Some images contain stronger colours, such as "New Yorker", a shot of the building that is home to the magazine of the same name. The effect of this is a more realistic depiction of the city, which is then balanced by the pastel colours of the sky.
In these shades of light New York appears both antique and futuristic, a hybrid oscillating somewhere between a glorious past and an uncertain future.
Germany Symphony
"Nature is a petrified magical town..." the romantic poet Novalis once wrote. Horst (*1946) and Daniel (*1972) Zielske from Göttingen have been photographing together since 1993. Doesn't it seem almost "romantic" – in a historical and artistic sense – when father and son go on a photographic journey through Germany? They have brought back photographs from the North Sea, Rügen, the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, and Eichsfeld – altogether encompassed under the title "German Symphony." Their engaging intensity has also been directed towards chronicling the noise and novelty of today's life.
Megalopolis Shanghai
As Westerners, how do we really understand what is going on in Shanghai, China? How should we comprehend the birth of a mega-city in such a sort span of time, we who still link urban development with notions like "Center", "Downtown", "Old Town", "Piazza" or "Dome"? "Shanghai incorporates civilization in "fast motion", phantasmagoria in steel and stone, the creation of a new city out of itself, constructed by one, two, three millions of migrant workers for fifteen, twenty, maybe thirty million people," as German travel editor Jakob Strobel y Serra writes in the introduction to Zielske's book with the Shanghai pictures.Perhaps we can guess what the people of Shanghai are living by listening to German composer's Richard Strauss "Thus spoke Zarathustra". In his symbolic interpretation of Nietzsche's essay, Strauss lets us have a presentiment of the true dimensions of our existence. In the form of the famous enhancement, incorporating a sunrise, we feel the divine and the uncanny at the same time. Isn't China the country where the sun rises? Yes, certainly, but if we follow the analogy to "Zarathustra", we suddenly experience the dark and the light, desire and threat, lightness as well as the parallel existence of good and bad, the ever fractioning forces of nature and civilization.In more pragmatic words, father and son Zielske with their "camera-strokes" present to us an image of a Megalopolis; to westerners, the images relay the birth of a new economical mega-power. The Shanghai series shows us all the benefits, but also illuminates the price that such competitive growth brings to humans living daily life in this dream and nightmare.
Modern Turner
Inspired by the English landscape painter William Turner (1775–1851), Horst and Daniel Zielske followed the Romantic visionary's travels through eight European countries for four years. The work represents a continuation of their earlier work, the series German Symphony, which dealt intensively with the visual language of the German Romantics, in particular Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840), whose haunting landscapes of the German Baltic Sea, the chalk cliffs of Rügen, and the Elbe Standstone Mountains continue to shape our image of the Romantic era.
Now, with the cycle Modern Turner, they turn their attention to one of Britain's most famous painters. Tracking down the locations of his paintings, they look to find different, new perspectives on the cities, landscapes, and seascapes he captured in dramatic images. Today, these sometimes appear to the viewer changed through the additions of new buildings, streets, and means of transportation – but they develop their own singular allure through the Zielskes' photographic view.
The father and son team oriented their 56 motifs on the "Master of Light"'s own perspective, simultaneously developing individual, location-specific tonalities of their own and thus representing a distinctive break with the paintings. In addition, they worked partially with analog and partially with digital technology, honing a contemporary visual language. The works of Modern Turner span the realms of documentary to the Romantic spirit of the nineteenth century. The Zielskes plan to cap the project, launched in 2007, with a presentation of their book.
