Sending Cinder to a trainer!
I found a very good trainer about an hour from me that has a reasonable rate and I'm hoping to send Cinder to her in January. Cinder had 60 days put on her two years ago but then got put back to pasture and was handled but never ridden. I'm kind of excited to see the results. I know 30 days isn't going to do a whole lot but she'll have a good refresher done and a decent stepping block for us to work on.
I'm excited!:clap:
It is exciting. Hunter went last year for 30 days and it was an awesome start for him. Its great if you can continue with the trainer for a while afterwards. I still do and it has helped us both immensely. BTW I used to have a welsh mountain pony named Cinders.
I plan on it. She seems fairly straight forward (which I like) and after the 30 days we're going to see her twice a month for lessons. Not as much as I'd like but my schedule is kind of hectic. LOL @ Cinders that's neat!
YAY for Cinder!!! (and you)
and Ginormica?
What about the Appy?
That will be good for you and your other horse. A little bonding while Cinders gone. That will help you too cuz she will have that extra boost to remember her manners and who's in charge. Glad for you. Can I ask how much this costs?
Posted via Mobile Device
That is super exciting. I remember the first time I sent my gelding out for training to be broken to ride. It was honestly the most exciting phase to go through. Once you're done with that, the first few rides are fantastic as well, as you get, for the first time a true feel for your horse. Congrats and good luck with the training. Will be expecting lots of pictures during that time.

Just last fall, I attended an event called The Call in Orlando one evening out of curiosity. I thought it was very interesting that scattered throughout the book-selling tables were many John Piper books and Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology. This was in the midst of some other titles that I would probably not recommend to my church at the time.
IHOP, the International House of Prayer, is the founder of the Call, the One Thing conferences, and is very active in prayer ministry around the world.
Those of us in the "gospel-centered" Reformed, missional circles (whatever you want to call us) oftentimes overlook our more charismatic brethren neglecting the greater good that is being accomplished for the Kingdom.
IHOP, the International House of Prayer, is celebrating 10 years of essentially 24/7 prayer from their headquarters in Kansas City. This is something that I think we all should celebrate.
For many years I didn't openly recommend IHOP as an missions option for young adults because of increasing concerns about their theology on a number of levels, not the least of which is their almost seemingly endless fascination with concerns of eschatology. This fascination borders not only on speculation at times, but has manifested itself into dominion theology at times in the past.
Those things may be somewhat present, but I have observed some positive signs. Interestingly, in a recent video interview founder Mike Bickle seems to be more concerned than ever with the essential elements of the Gospel. In his observations on what the Holy Spirit is doing in the church, and with reference to the emerging church, he notes the following.
"It troubles me deeply how many Godly young adults are being sucked into compromise about the doctrine of the grace of God, compromise about the deity of Jesus, compromise about a life of abandonment, compromise about what justice really is. There are a lot of voices coming out of the church that are muddying the waters and we need clarity and we need boldness."
Rather instead, it has captivated a generation of young adults (much like Passion did) that want to give their lives to Jesus radically. This is in sharp contrast to many of this generation who seem to want to have the world and Christ too. This radical passion for Christ and intercession, combined with a more Biblical understanding of the doctrines of grace, the deity of Christ, and the necessity of evangelism, could prove to be a reckoning force for the Gospel in the future.
Let us celebrate 10 years for IHOP, and let us pray that this course-correction will prove to stimulate a movement to continue to grow in passionately pursuing Christ.

Second World War history is not Barack Obama's strong suit
The only problem is that he sometimes gets history wrong.
His plan to visit Buchenwald is in part a tribute to his great-uncle, Charlie Payne, who participated in the liberation of Ohrdruf, a satellite camp.
Last May, however, Mr Obama said that his uncle "was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz". Republicans pointed out that it was the Soviets who liberated Auschwitz.
"Unless his uncle was serving in the Red Army, there's no way Obama's statement can be true," a Republican spokesman said.
The Democratic candidate issued a correction, but critical historians have found earlier examples of Mr Obama's elastic approach to the facts.

Obama is trained as a lawyer, and a constitutional lawyer at that. He can probably recite the facts and the holding of the Korematsu decision, but I doubt that he could tell you much about the history of socio-economic exclusion and racism against the Japanese in America, i.e., The historical context that made the decision acceptable. We don't learn history in law school.There are courses called "legal history." But, that kind of proves my point. We are taught to manipulate historical facts, distort evidence or keep it out of court entirely if possible.We don't learn anything about history of police abuse and corruption in criminal law;or corporate abuse and political influence in corporate law;or the way that slavery was reintroduced into the South post 13thAmendment by the Black Codes and the courts' acquiesence and silence. And the history of racial oppression codified by the SCt in Plessy;or the SCt's rejection of the history of racist juries in capital cases with black defendants in McKlesky.
Louis Brandeis,one of the greatest advocates and greatest Justices in the history of the SCt,brought sociology and history into the SCT with his written briefs while he was an advocate in that Court. But, law students are not taught to use "Brandeis briefs" as part of their tactical toolbox in law school. Constitutional scholars, and SCt justices are rarely much better than the average undergraduate history major.

In the last 5-7 years there has been a lot of talk about the revival of Pakistan cinema which was in its death throes. Couple of decades of pitiful investment, abysmal directors, a dearth of good writers, risk taking producers and uninterested governments left Pakistani cinema on constant life support. But it was only recently that aspiring and talented film makers started to branch out to make movies that weren't flashy but had real heart and soul. These movies have not only displayed movie making panache by the youths but also distanced themselves away from the trash that was usually associated with Pakistani cinema.
The positive vibes that have been felt throughout the country has been amazing. People are now hopeful that Pakistan cinema can put the country on the map by charting out its own niche while being different from the Indian and Pakistani movie industry of the past. While there is no shortage of commercial movies that has done quite well for themselves, I usually associate Pakistani cinema revival on movies that go against the grain. The problem I have with commercial movies is they are hell bent on competing with the Indian cinema which in my opinion is not the way to go. It's the reality based movies that can really make Pakistani movies stand out and that in turn will prove that Pakistan movies doesn't need to a follow a particular blue print for success but can etch out its own identity and its own brand!
If you guys are wondering why I am writing on a subject that already has got loads of coverage? Then let me enlighten you all: So this was a few days ago when I watching a news based morning show on Capital TV. The host, Mahrukh Qureshi, was talking about the revival of Pakistan cinema and its effect on the entertainment industry in the country. What transpired in the entire segment was nothing short of disgraceful.
Basically the entire 15 minute tirade was all about highlighting the 'flaws' of this revival. The segment had two guests (on phone call); one was some producer who I had never even heard of and the other guest was our much 'esteemed and celebrated' film director Syed Noor. I never had much respect of Syed Noor's movies but what he had to say really made me kinda hate the guy!
The host and the two guests were of the opinion that the movies that are being made are either too depressing or based on terrorism. They were critical of film makers as they consider them as obsessed in making movies which were tied down to realism. That they were impressed by TV dramas, hence their movies too are showing that trend which was a big no-no.
The 'solution' for this 'obvious problem' which the host and these guests gave that Pakistani movies should always be 'entertaining commercial movies' which all could mean that they should include light drama, a lighthearted romance, a couple of poorly choreographed fight scenes, good number of song and dance sequences and some sort of moral at the end!!. Syed Noor went so far ahead in his bashing that he called out to the film makers to stop making reality movies as these were big mistakes. That we should make movies that can directly compete with Indian movies and the only way to achieve this is to stop making such depressing movies!
You guys should have seen me; I was positively fuming and swearing like a drunken sailor! I mean shouldn't the revival be encouraged?!
I really don't understand this: why do we have to compete with the Indian movie industry? Why can't we make movies that are decidedly different from the trash India usually makes? Most of their mainstream movies have nil plot development, piss poor acting, insane amount of 'fan service' and copious amounts of song and dance! Why should our movies ape Bollywood? Didn't that cause the death of Pakistani cinema already?
What really got to me is how guys like Syed Noor actually thought these new movies were a mistake and will be detrimental in the revival! I mean how can the man be so stupid to even think like that! The reason we find Pakistan cinema struggling to stay relevant because guys like Syed Noor were making movies that were shallow and very poorly made! So when the cool kids start making movies that are WAY better than old Pakistani movies it's these insecure old directors and producers who cause the most harm!
So in the end I just want to say that they way Pakistani movies are being made now should be encouraged because if such movies are not celebrated then the film industry in Pakistan will be over and there will be no comeback from that!

Dalton Thrower of the Saskatoon Blades has been suspended for the rest of the Memorial Cup for an illegal hit on Taylor Leier of the Portland Winterhawks. Somehow both officials ate their whistle on the play and Thrower didn't spend any time in the penalty box. Needless to say, Winterhawk coach Travis Green was none too pleased. Despite having two referees – Reagan Vetter of the Western Hockey League and Jean-Philippe Sylvain of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League – on the ice, there was no penalty assessed. Winterhawks interim head coach, Travis Green, stood on Portland's bench and began yelling at the officials on the ice: "Wake the (expletive) up!" Green was less animated in the post-game press conference but it was clear he was still fuming. "My player was knocked out cold by a hit, or close to it and out of the game," said the former NHLer. "On a hit that – it's pretty obvious why I'm upset." Thrower's hit should be sent around to every youth hockey player with a label, "Don't Ever Do This." The hit embodies everything that hockey has been trying to rid of the game. A sloppy hit where he leaves his feet, leads with his elbow, and catches the victim in the head. Last season, the aptly named Thrower was drafted 51st overall by the Montreal Canadiens. [Yahoo!] Article found on: Next Impulse Sports

Editorial: Right choices for the kids
The Shelby County Commission has an opportunity Wednesday to deal in statesmanlike fashion with an issue of profound importance to the future of the community.
That's when officials of Juvenile Court, among other county agencies, are scheduled to present budget proposals to the legislative body that controls the purse strings of county government.
Some members of the commission are miffed because they were not involved in earlier stages of the process that has led to a whopping $1.6 million budget increase request for Juvenile Court.
Reasonable people can disagree on the question of how much the commission should have been involved.
The development of an agreement among officials of the U.S. Department of Justice, County Mayor Mark Luttrell and Juvenile Court seeking to correct a pattern of discrimination against African-American children and other problems could have been more transparent. Commissioners have a right to make their views on the issue known.
Now the focus must shift, however, to merits of this proposal, as well as the related request for a $1.9 million budget increase for the Public Defender's Office.
The question becomes how much future generations of Shelby Countians will benefit, in other words, from improvements such as medical and mental health professionals available 24 hours a day to address the needs of detained juveniles.
How many young lives will be turned around with prompt and proper attention to their mental, medical and legal needs? How much does prompt and proper attention to those needs reduce the risk of kids returning sooner or later to the juvenile justice or criminal justice system?
More generally, how would the cost-benefit ratio in this investment be affected by dealing with this problem now rather than waiting until later when the Justice Department takes another look at the way things are done in Juvenile Court?
Whether the subject is prekindergarten, K-12 education or other issues involving the community's youths, it's often difficult to see the long-term benefits to the community from an investment in youths. Such is the case with a more up-to-date, attentive Juvenile Court system.
As it sorts out its budget priorities for the new fiscal year, the County Commission has the difficult but necessary task of setting aside short-term political concerns and making the right choices for the kids.

Patriots WR Wes Welker is expected to play today, but will test his ankle out pregame.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) November 18, 2012Was there ever any doubt?Welker rolled his ankle at the end of the Buffalo game. He missed the first two days of practice but returned. There was the remote possibility that he'd miss this game, and while that still remains remote, I trust Albert Breer on this one.Breer also reported earlier in the week that Hernandez would be out, which was also confirmed today.

I was hoping they would try to construct a deal for Andrus with Lynn and maybe Tyrell Jenkins. And i love martinez's stuff but he needs to throw at least 140 innings this year. And then there is Wacha, 40 k's in 20 innings speaks for itself.
And Maness is probably the most underrated prospect in the organization along with Stralin Rodriguez and Colin Walsh. Maness's fastball is about 90 gets up to 92 with a good curve and changeup, but the most tremendous thing about him is his control.
169.2 IP and only 10 BB. That's unheard of, and control is the one thing that you can project in the big leagues.

John Travolta has a history of crashing weddings.
Picture: John Travolta - 10th Annual Living Legends of Aviation Awards Los Angeles California United States Friday 18th January 2013
Should you be mad if John Travolta steals the limelight at your wedding? It was a dilemma faced by a newly married couple in Georgia over the weekend when the Oscar nominated actor turned up at the nuptials after meeting the bride and groom-to-be at a local bar the evening before.
A friend of the groom shared pictures of Travolta at the wedding on Reddit, posting, "My friend ran into John Travolta the night before his wedding, and he shows up the next day." Rocking jeans and a casual black T-shirt, the Hollywood star happily posed alongside the wedding party for a group shot, as well as getting snapped with the bride and groom. He even did a huge thumbs up.
It's not the first time Travolta has pulled the surprise stunt. He and actor Robin Williams turned up to a wedding back in 1977. "We were having fun, starting to relax [at a restaurant near Travolta's home in Santa Barbara], when we saw there was a wedding next door," Travolta told USA Today, "We figured we'd crash it.They figured out who we were. Some guy yelled out, 'Hey, they really are Mork and Vinnie Barbarino!"
Travolta's much-delayed gangster flick Gotti: In The Shadow of My Father appears to be back on track after Relativity Media snapped up the U.S. distribution rights. The film, now directed by Joe Johnston (Captain America: The First Avenger), has been a long-time passion project for Travolta, who will be the famed head of the Gambino crime family, John Gotti Sr.

The oceans cover more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface and play an important part in our lives by controlling climate and weather conditions; hosting shipping, transportation, recreation and tourism; and providing us with food, minerals and petroleum. With the growth of the human population, especially in coastal zones, there is a growing threat to oceans from land-based activities such as industrial effluent, municipal sewage, and runoff from agricultural areas, as well the excessive exploitation of fish stocks. This book contains important and fascinating evidence of the role of the oceans in mankind's survival in the twenty-first century. It focuses on regional and national case studies and emphasizes approaches that can help remedy our impact.

Greek Voters Send Decisive Message to European Leaders: No Deal (Updated)
Will We Allow a Private Health Insurance Monopoly or Implement Single Payer at Last?
Marcia Alesan Dawkins $32.01
By Joe Sacco $19.77
Despite his country's decisive rejection of the European Union's terms for remaining in the eurozone, the Greek finance minister has quit his post, citing an unwillingness on the part of some EU ministers to negotiate with him.
Nobel Prize-winning economists Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman maintain that Greece must keep going it alone and vote "no" on the upcoming referendum on the bailout.
Greeks found their savings blocked and banks closed Monday morning after a standoff between the country and its bailout creditors that cast doubt on the future of Europe's single-currency zone.
"There has been nothing but bad news," writes The Guardian's economics editor Larry Elliott of the Greek debt crisis. "Yet, through it all, the relative calm in the financial markets has reflected a belief that, despite everything, the drama Tsipras of Athens will have a happy ending."
The U.S.-led global debt brokerage pulled out of negotiations with Greece on Thursday after it accused Athens of refusing to compromise over labor market and pension reforms.
Greece's new left-wing, anti-austerity Syriza Party raises concerns over international creditors' demands to restructure the country's labor market and curtail its pension system in exchange for a new package of bailout funds scheduled for release Friday. Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis speaks with "Democracy Now!"
Their country would stop cooperating with creditors if negotiations failed and aid was not forthcoming, government leaders said as they submitted a long-awaited list of 18 policy reforms to eurozone administrators.
For the anti-austerity struggle in Greece and elsewhere to become effective and sustainable, it must be raised from the national level to the international level.
"The finance ministers of Europe are not all in favor of balancing the budget if it has to be balanced by taxing the rich," says economist Michael Hudson (not pictured) of the ongoing confrontation over the Greek debt crisis.
After the financial troika triumphed over the Greek government in debt negotiations last week, Germany's veteran minister "indulged himself with some patronizing comments," observed economics correspondent Phillip Inman at The Guardian.
"The rightwing orthodoxy that dominates thinking in Brussels has asserted itself over the hapless Greeks," writes economics correspondent Phillip Inman at The Guardian.
In what The Guardian's economics editor Larry Elliott is calling a "white flag [being] raised over Athens," Greece has requested a six-month extension to its bailout plan, essentially giving in to the eurozone finance ministers' demands for austerity. Germany, however, refused the country's proposal Thursday.
Like Greece, Spain has been wracked by the global recession and could soon elect an anti-austerity government.

While the wealthiest 85 individuals on the planet own more wealth than the bottom half of the world's population—and when the top 1 percent will soon own more wealth than the bottom 99 percent—the people of Greece and the anti-austerity party, Syriza, they elected to lead them are struggling to rebuild their economy so that ordinary people there can live with a shred of dignity and security.
As Greece tries to come to an "honorable agreement" with austerity-loving eurozone finance ministers, let's not forget who stood to gain the most from the financial crises in southern Europe.
Eurozone finance ministers have designated Friday as the deadline for the country to accept yet another austerity-filled deal, but Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has made it clear he will not rest until an "honorable agreement" is negotiated.
"Austerity"—the redirection of funds away from government and public services and toward a country's creditors—"has devastated Greece just about as much as defeat in total war devastated imperial Germany," economist Paul Krugman writes in The New York Times.
The New York Times fell on its face when it suggested that Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis (pictured here) did not understand the basic debt dynamics of his country, writes Andy Robinson at Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting.
The Syriza finance minister confirmed his party's intentions to fight EU oppression by refusing to negotiate with representatives of Greece's "hated troika of lenders."
Alexis Tsipras, the leader of Syriza, would like to pretend that austerity and the euro are two different things. Apparently, he's blissfully ignorant of the history of the euro. The horror of austerity is not the consequence of Greek profligacy: It was designed into the euro's plan from the beginning.
The European project is teetering on the edge of failure. Growth is anemic at best and socio-economic inequality is on the rise. The countries of Eastern and Central Europe, even relatively successful Poland, have failed to bridge the income gap with the richer half of the continent. And the highly indebted periphery is in revolt.
A New Yorker profile of German Chancellor Angela Merkel depicts a shrewd politician cut to the shape of leadership in our age: bland, personally reserved and entirely uninterested in challenging the prevailing neoliberal order.
On March 20, European Union officials reached a historic deal to save failing banks by tapping both taxpayer and depositor funds. It may be illegal under EU Parliament, but is being rushed through to lock taxpayer and depositor liability into place before the dire state of eurozone banks is exposed.
Why there is such iron fidelity to neoliberal austerity in the contemporary community of official, semiofficial and even academic economists? It can't be that it works. It doesn't work.

Marcus Trufant has played in a Super Bowl and a Pro Bowl, and is now in his 10th season with his hometown team. Yet for all those experiences, one of the most special moments in his football career with the Seattle Seahawks will come this weekend when he takes the field against his younger brother Isaiah of the New York Jets, and after youngest brother Desmond, a senior at Washington, plays on the same field the night before. Three brothers, all playing the same position, two of which are already in the NFL with a third very likely to join the professional ranks next season. And this weekend, all three will take their places on the turf at CenturyLink Field in a span of less than 24 hours. On Saturday night, Desmond will play the final home game of his college career when the Huskies host Utah. About 14 hours after the youngest Trufant walks off the field, Isaiah's Jets will face Marcus' Seahawks. There is no guarantee any of the three will be playing in the NFL next season. Des...

Ian Bullions, 61, suffered fatal injuries in the crash on the A93 near Glenshee in Perthshire. The collision happened at around 2.40pm on Monday near a stretch known as Devil's Elbow.
Mr Bullions was originally from the Kirriemuir area in Angus but had been living abroad in recent years, Police Scotland said as it formally named the victim.
In a statement, the force said: "Mr Bullion's family are understandably upset by their sudden loss and have said that he will be greatly missed."
Inquiries into the incident are still being carried out and a report has been sent to the procurator-fiscal.

The Thanksgiving Song
"The Thanksgiving Song" (also known as "Happy Thanksgiving"[1]) is a song performed by Adam Sandler discussing Thanksgiving.[2] The song was written by Sandler, Ian Maxtone-Graham and Robert Smigel.[3] It was first performed during the Weekend Update segment of the season 18 episode of Saturday Night Live on November 21, 1992. A live performance was recorded at The Strand in Redondo Beach, California on July 25, 1993.[3] The version at The Strand was featured on Sandler's debut album They're All Gonna Laugh at You!, and is the commonly heard version, particularly on radio.
Song details[edit]
The song, which Sandler sings in a childlike, semi-falsetto voice, primarily revolves around the repetition of the word "turkey" in various two-line rhymes, many of which are non sequiturs; for instance, "Turkey with gravy and cranberries/Can't believe the Mets traded Darryl Strawberry!"
Celebrity and pop culture references include:
- Betty Grable
- 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong
- Turkey-related drowsiness
- Jimmie Walker's portrayal of J. J. Evans and his catch phrase "Dyn-o-mite!"
- Darryl Strawberry's departure from the New York Mets (Sandler erroneously refers to Strawberry being traded; in fact, Strawberry left as a free agent and signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers).
- Mike Tyson raping Desiree Washington
- Lake Winnipesaukee (SNL version only)
- Cheryl Tiegs posters
- Sammy Davis, Jr. having only one eye
- Corduroy pants
- Mopeds
The song is a predecessor to Sandler's more popular holiday song, "The Chanukah Song" (also co-written by Maxtone-Graham and Sandler), and has a similar degree of popularity in radio airplay around Thanksgiving. Various radio cuts remove or edit one verse which states "my brother likes to masturbate with baby oil" but it is otherwise identical to the live performance at The Strand. The edits also leave in a portion of the performance where Sandler has to stop in the middle of a song due to becoming distracted with the audience's rhythmic clapping.

I prefer the F560's because of the stiffer sidewall, but these are a good price and they cant be any worse than the softwall Michelin's.
Sorry Karl for the mix-up. Reading it back I understand why, but dont look only at the dates, there can be over a
1 cm
difference when mounted. The Firestone 560 and the Toyo 310 are indeed about the same size.
The F560 is imho indeed better (less bad) than the Michelin. Had them on my wifes outfit, just in fact because it looks so high, but I thought it was terrible in rain. Tires like the Toyo, Nankang, Mabor in 135 can be a good alternative for 125 if you do not want or can have the better modern low-profile tires in 135/70-15 or 145/65-15.
As spare tires I also have Champiro wintertires (real cheap) in 135/70-15. I didnt expect anything of them (bought them together with rims, just for the rims), but in fact theyre not so bad either. Similar story goes for the (cheap) Maxxis 135/70-15, again a low-profile wintertire.
If you really want it in 135/80-15 size, this Maxxis tire might be something for you:
Its a all-year round tire.

Vincent Encomio, a scientist with the Stuart-based Florida Oceanographic Society, will talk about the group's effort to restore oyster reefs in the St. Lucie Estuary at 7 p.m. Monday at the Blake Library, 2351 S.E. Monterey Road in Stuart. Since the 1940s, about 80 to 90 percent of the 470 acres of oyster beds in the estuary have been destroyed. But over the last three years, Encomio has led about 500 volunteers in building a dozen 10-by-12-foot reefs, mostly along the downtown Stuart waterfront, by manually laying 146,000 pounds of oyster shells — collected from local restaurants and stuffed into 4,600 mesh bags — in the water. Admission is free and open to the public. For information, call 772-221-1403 or go to library.Martin.fl.us.

Allstays camp app question
I have already DL the app on my iPad, but now I want to DL it on my android tablet. I don't want to pay ten bucks again, and I see that there is a camp and tent app for 5 bucks and change, but will it have walmarts on it ? How different is it that the " full service" one.
Sometimes RV parks are all that are available and you can sometimes ask nicely to put up a tent somewhere for cheap, do I want to exclude those options? I only do tent camping. But I like to know where a rest area may be, or a truck stop.....
Any other suggestions for camping apps for android?
Moved to trip planning.
