Critique Barrel Prospect!(:
Please Critique My Barrel Prospect Scratch, She is 14.3 . Has King Ranch Bloodlines!(: Would also like too know any conformation flaws you see.
(That Pic Is Embarrassing of me :oops: )
well no need to critique....OP wont be getting the answers.
Well, from what I can see, he looks a little "toes in" in the front from the picture where he's eating out of a bucket. His neck and bum are lacking...something about his neck is funny to me in the 3rd picture.
And we'll leave the rest to the pro's
I will come back....give me a min.
Based on pictures only (hard to judge a horse without seeing in person)...
She looks "toes in" on the front legs, and "toes out" in the back.
Her shoulder is a little steeper than I like to see, when you compare it to her hip.
I would like to see her hindquarters more rounded for a barrel horse, but it isn't too bad.
So as long as her toes in/out doesn't cause any problems down the road, she looks decent conformation-wise.
Nothing in her confo screams bad to me she is put together fairly well.
ordinary is the word I would use.
She could def use some weight in some areas and a more toned back end would help.
I do not think she is so much "toes in" or "toes out" as she has no heal, too long on the front and not very well shaped/balanced on all four. I think with a good visit from a skilled farrier and some heal growth it would fix the "toes in/toes out" look she seems to have.
I think her angles are fine, not a fan of her skinny long neck or her large head.
Just by what I see, she is not really built like I like my barrel horses to be nor do I think she would make a champ, but no reason she can't be run.
The first thing I couldn't help but notice in the first pic was that the saddle was up on the shoulder blades. The horse also appears rump high but non of the pics are good confo pics.

You want an early buy (or a repeat)? Throw down some nickels and make a purchase of one Tyler Zeller. His 16 points yesterday were the first since January 19, but the 9 rebounds, 4 assists and a block were not out of the ordinary. He's had a block in five straight games, is averaging 7 rebounds in the past six games, and has 3 or 4 assists in four games this month. I wouldn't own him for offense, but he could help you in many other ways. Let him inspire your fantasy team! WAH…TUH! Ty Lawson – He had quite the night with 26 points on 8 of 11 shooting, including a perfect 5 attempts from downtown, plus 2 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals. I think his first name is short for Tyrannosaurus. Jose Calderon – Being in Detroit is a punishment Jose didn't deserve, but he's still doing well. Last night, he hit 9 of 17 (6 of 9 from beyond the perimeter), adding 4 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and a block. Ricky Rubio – Despite abysmal shooting (3 of 13), he went to the free throw line 13 times a...

The hotel in the italian style is not the newest, but absolutely top. The food (half board) is the best. It is everywhere very clean. The rooms are not very big, the bathroom-especially the shower-definitely too small. If you want a little more capacity wishes, should better choose a category. The closet or the possibility its stuff is also very limited. The guests are mostly middle-aged and old and come from Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria- hardly any toddlers, so absolute peace. read hotel review

Hooké à Gaspé! Part 3
Click on the CC button in the vimeo timeline to see the subtitles.
We had just lived the two most incredible salmon fishing days ever on the Dartmouth River. At one point, it was pretty normal to have luck's pendulum swinging the other way. The swing back came slowly toward our faces during our next three days on the Saint-Jean and York rivers. The salmons had decided to stay quiet and despite catching a few sea trout caught here and there, we felt we had to move on. We took the night to tie some flies and headed for Barachois, near Gaspé, to try and catch a couple striped bass.

A Sandusky man was arrested Monday night on charges of furnishing alcohol to 11 teenagers at a party.
Police were called about "people being drunk and disorderly" above the Fireside Lounge on Milan Road just before 10 p.m., according to the Sandusky police report.
There police said "several younger subjects could be observed through an open window."
Once inside officers asked everyone to line up and take a breathalyzer test before being allowed to leave, the report said. More than 20 people were listed in the report.
Police said several people tried to hide, including tenant Travis Pais.
In addition to the furnishing charges, Pais, 21, 1600 block of Milan Road, was charged with obstructing official business, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Police found a gas mask bong and a small amount of the drug in a bedroom, the report said.

A style guide helps clarify a company's voice, look, and identity. In this course, Nigel French explains the components that make a style guide—sometimes called a branding guidelines book. The course shows the importance of the style guide for maintaining logo integrity, a unified voice, and consistent use of typography, color, and imagery.
The scope of a style guide will vary from one brand to another. Obviously, a style guide for a local bakery will have far fewer branding scenarios to address than that for a multinational company with a diverse product range. Here are the basic elements to include. A position statement. Who are yo? What are your brand values? What's the voice of your brand? Are you informal, chatty, formal? What are your naming conventions? How do you write your company name, your product names? How should your logo be used, and importantly how should it not be used? What are your type choices and how should type be used? What colors have you chosen and how should they be used? And how should imagery be incorporated into your brand? Do you favor illustration over photography and if so, what style of illustration? What style of photography? Here are some other elements to consider that may be applicable.
If your internal design team or your branding partners are creating documents like newsletters, brochures, interactive PDFs, maybe you could start them off with templates. What's the social media persona of your brand? How do you handle your Facebook Timeline, your LinkedIn profile, your Twitter feed? You could supply collateral items like business cards, envelopes, letterhead, invites. Are there any forms to consider? Will your brand elements be applied to gift items like T-shirts, pens? And will your brand items be applied to signage for conventions and trade shows.
Obviously, not all of these items will be applicable; you can just choose to include the ones that are.

Fans of both basketball legend, Michael Jordan, and McDonald's now have the opportunity to own a $9,995 bottle of McJordan BBQ sauce. The 20 year-old gallon container of the smoky condiment has had over 30 offers to purchase, but for those financially conscious fans who aren't willing to splurge to recreate an authentic McJordan burger, the same sauce is also used as a dip for McDonald's McNuggets (and much considerably fresher).
This isn't the first resurface of McDonald's Celebrity branding from the '90s; a promo video of Star Trek's George Takei resurfaced last year.

Although U.S. airstrikes on ISIS in Iraq have helped to slightly push back the terror army, they're still on the march with no plans of stopping. As a result, an all-female battalion has prepared themselves to take on the brutal group should they advance in Kurdistan. More from the New York Post:
Hundreds of mothers, sisters and daughters have taken up arms and devoted their lives to protecting Iraq's Kurdish population against the threat of the Islamic State.
Known as the women peshmerga of the 2nd Battalion, the group is made up of 550 female fighters led by Col. Nahida Ahmad Rashid, Barcroft reports.
The soldiers have not yet faced the Islamic State since the terrorists seized control of towns in Kurdistan, but the group has carried out in-depth exercises in the scorching heat of Sulaymaniyah to prepare themselves for battle.

I am speechless

Think of it like this. You buy a car and pay sales tax on it. You bring it in to get it repaired and you pay (in some states) sales tax on the replacement part and on the labor, and maybe on some supposed increased retail value of the vehicle at license plate renewal time. That's what's going on here; just coming up with inventive ways to scrape up a few 200 dollar donations.
Meanwhile, quick, bury that stuff from beneath the sink in your neighbor's yard.
Yeah, GM, I'm speechless too. Dare I admit that I replaced some insulation behind my shower three years ago; and hid a piece of it from prying eyes.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.

Just to clarify...Sooooo, people are no longer allowed to repair stuff they boughtt legally....
people that owned a legal suppressor(meaning that they had the tax stamp) never could repair or replace any of it themselves.
It's always been that way. For the archaic designs out there that still use steel wool to stifle the sound, the ATF has added it to its list of prohibited materials so... in the event that you wanted to change out your old,ratty,filthy,burned out steel wool with some bright new shiny stuff, you would be in violation of the law if you did it without paying the 200 fee over. This means that if you were brought up on charges of illegal possession or repair that this is one of the items on the prohibited list, the same list that has a shoelace listed as a "machine gun" because someone used one to make a gun fire full auto.
Yeah...it sucks...but thats the way it is in the land of the Big Feds with the small minds.

While listening to the game on the radio on my way to work last night, Marty mentioned something that Narron told him. He said that he likes the patience that the team has showed this year, but he wants Adam Dunn to start chasing more pitches out of the strikezone in an attempt to drive in more runs. Unbelievable. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. EVER! Stupid, stupid, stupid. It's amazing how many people in this organizaton have attempted to ruin Dunn. They screwed up his second half of 2002 and all of 2003, and now it appears 2006 could be added to the list.
I have noticed that Dunn has been chasing more pitches this year than he typically does, now I know why. Unreal. Narron would have found a way to screw up Babe Ruth, Mike Schmidt, Reggie Jackson, Jim Thome, and Harmon Killebrew, too, had he coached them. Afterall, they all struckout a lot.
Narron has got to go, NOW! No one should tell Dunn what to do except Chambliss.
Adam Dunn is not a bad ball hitter. Leave him alone and watch him put up huge numbers.

At Morgue, Ceaselessly Sifting 9/11 Traces
Published: July 14, 2002
(Page 2 of 4)
Ms. Mundorff recently found a mandible imbedded inside a torso. A discovery that might have caused gasps elsewhere elicited only cheers in an ugly building on First Avenue, where a hum is always at the door.
Danger in the 'Kill Zone'
As soon as word arrived that a jetliner had struck the World Trade Center's north tower, Dr. Hirsch and his colleagues prepared to receive the dead.
While other staff members set in motion a well-rehearsed disaster plan, Dr. Hirsch and six aides drove to the scene to establish a temporary morgue. And when the first tower roared and fell, shooting steel and concrete through the air, the doctor and his contingent found themselves well within the ''kill zone.''
One investigator broke her leg so severely that the bone was exposed; another suffered a blow to the back of the head and took months to recover. Ms. Mundorff, 33 and barely 5 feet tall, was thrown headfirst into a wall. Dr. Hirsch was hurled to the ground, badly cutting his hand and bruising much of his reed-thin body.
Back at the office, staff members tried to sift fact from rumor. ''We shut down 30th Street, got the refrigerated trucks coming, the forensic dentists arrived, and so on,'' said David R. Schomburg, the director of medicolegal investigations. ''But there were these rumors, false, of a ferry bound for Staten Island with 350 dead.''
His staff soon learned that Dr. Hirsch had survived, but still, the sight of him that afternoon was breathtaking. Covered from head to toe with white dust, he was a ghost with horrible stories to tell.
For his aides, it was an unforgettable moment. Here was Dr. Charles Hirsch, the man who had resurrected the country's largest and busiest medical examiner's office -- handling more than 25,000 deaths and more than 700 homicides a year -- from the mire of mismanagement; whose leadership had persuaded others to marry their career paths to his. Here he was, awed and covered with the dust of others.
''I had a surge of emotion that I can't describe,'' recalled Dr. Mark Flomenbaum, the first deputy chief medical examiner. ''I'm in New York because he's in New York. If he were in Chicago, I'd be in Chicago. It was horrible.''
Dr. Hirsch emptied his pockets and had a medical examiner's epiphany. ''If reinforced concrete was rendered into dust,'' he said later, ''then it wasn't much of a mystery as to what would happen to people.''
It was evening before the first body arrived, one of the very few that would be found intact: the Rev. Mychal Judge, a Franciscan and the well-known New York Fire Department chaplain. His case was called DM-01-00001, with DM standing for Disaster Manhattan.
Mr. Ribowsky, now the deputy director of investigations, grabbed a thick ledger book and started to log descriptions and case numbers for the flood of body parts that was only beginning. ''Each piece had to be treated as its own person,'' he said.
The book's entries came to reflect the deluge of body parts that would last for many months. The seventh entry says ''unk: male,'' or ''unknown''; the 18th, ''left hand''; the 19th, ''body fragment.'' There are rows of entries that say, simply, ''unk: fragment -- bone,'' or ''skeletal muscle.''
And when that book ran out of space more than four months later, on Jan. 22, the 13,486th entry was made -- ''unk: fragment -- bone'' -- and a second book was begun. Its first entry, for the 13,487th body part, reads: ''unk: fragment -- bone.''
The agency's officials had put together an elemental but effective operation. An escort, usually a police officer, would be assigned to follow a body part as it passed before the eyes of a pathologist, a forensic dentist, a detective from the missing-persons bureau, a DNA analyst. It would not leave the escort's sight until it was stored in one of the refrigerated trailers parked in the weed-covered lot that is known as Memorial Park.
The never-ending flow of remains shocked even the most experienced in death's indignities.
''In one day,'' Dr. Flomenbaum recalled, ''I was seeing more homicides than in my 11 years in this office.''
Late that first night, stacks of dental charts, X-rays and photographs began to pile up in the lobby. They had been left by police officers, firefighters and others who thought that the medical examiner's office could use them.
Follow the Forensic Trail
Then came what seemed like a timeless blur: of the unthinkable becoming mundane, of the constant engagement in what Dr. Hirsch calls the ''dialogue with the dead.'' The nature of the disaster had already answered some of the basic questions that a medical examiner asks when standing over the dead, such as where and when the death had come. But, he said, there was still that first question: ''Who are you?''
People became obsessed with that question, among them Ms. Mundorff. The forensic anthropologist, her eyes blackened by her head injury, became the traffic director of a triage center that mushroomed onto East 30th Street. She examined every body part for something distinctive -- an old fracture, a steel screw in a hip, a clothing label -- sealed it in a bag, and wrote in indelible ink what she had found.
Then, she directed its escort where to go. For example, ''Table 1 needs a case,'' she would say.

Fire department seeks recruits
Sound the alarm: It's recruiting time for the Corpus Christi Fire Department.
The fire department started its annual recruiting drive Aug. 11 and will continue to take firefighter applications through Sept. 30, assistant fire chief Rick Treviño said.
Fire Chief Richard Hooks said Corpus Christi typically hires 20 to 30 firefighters each year and about 1,000 applied. About 600 showed up to take the test to become a firefighter last year.
"It's very competitive," Hooks said.
Trevino said the city has 412 firefighters after hiring 20 this year and 30 last year. He anticipates another 1,000 will apply this time. In order to become a fire fighter, individuals have to pass a written test, a physical fitness test and a successful background check, which includes a psychological test and an interview process, he said.
Treviño said the physical fitness test will take place on the Corpus Christi Bayfront the same weekend as the written test, which will be at 8 a.m. Oct. 24 at the American Bank Center.
Individuals must show they have at least a 16-inch vertical jump, can do at least 25 push-ups, can run 300 meters in 65 seconds, do at least 29 sit-ups in one minute and run 1 1/2 miles in 14 minutes and 43 seconds to pass.
Treviño said firefighters have to pass the tests before they can be hired and start cadet training at the Training Academy at Del Mar College's West Campus. He said new hires have to wait about a year before they can go out on calls with other firefighters because they have to go through 600 hours of instruction and an additional 1,400 hours of medical training, which certifies them as paramedics and firefighters.
Male and female firefighters must be at least 19 years old with a maximum age of 35 when they are accepted to start training. A high school diploma or GED is required and the first-year salary is between $39,000 and $41,000.

Let's now turn our attention to the evolution of the first amphibians, the vertebrate group that first colonized the land, or partially did. The fossil record has given us a fair understanding of both the species involved in this transition and the time. A group of Devonian Period bony fish known as Rhipidistians appear to have been the ancestors of the first amphibians. These fish were dominant predators, and most or all appear to have been fresh water animals. This in itself is interesting and suggests that the bridge to land was first through freshwater. The same may have been true for the arthropods as well.
The Rhipidistians were seemingly preadapted to evolving limbs capable of providing locomotion on land by having fleshy lobes on their fins. The still-living coelacanth provides a glorious example of both a living fossil and a model for envisioning the kind of animal that did give rise to the amphibians. But another group of lobe-finned fish, the lungfish, also is useful in understanding the transition, not in terms of locomotion but in the all-important transition from gill to lung. The best limbs in the world were of no use if the amphibian-in-waiting could not breathe. There were thus two lineages of lobe-finned fishes, the crossopterygians (of which the coelacanth is a member) and the lungfish.
There is controversy about which of these groups was the real ancestor of the amphibians. Whichever it was, there is a record of the first "tetrapods," animals with four legs, in the latter part of the Devonian, meaning that the crucial transition from a fish with lobed fins and gills to an animal with four legs took place prior to that time. But when? And just how terrestrial were those first tetrapods? Could they walk on land? More importantly, could they breathe in air without the help of water-breathing gills as well? Both genetic information and the fossil record are of use here. But in some ways we are very hampered. Not until we somehow find the earliest tetrapods with fossil soft parts preserved will we be able to answer the respiration question.
Happily we have extant representatives of the crossopterygians and lung fish, and some relatively primitive amphibians. Geneticist Blair Hedges has compared their genetic codes in an effort to discover the time that fish and amphibians diverged. The "molecular clock" discov-

Maria Sharapova has expanded her business interests recently, and now the tennis star says she would love to act in a movie one day. Sharapova was in India recently to discuss an upcoming project a real estate firm she's working with has coming in the country when she revealed her desire to participate in the movie business. "Right now, too many things are happening in life. I'm tied up with my matches, brand associations and several other commitments. But someday, given an opportunity I would love to act in a Hollywood movie," she said, according to the Hindustan Times. Sharapova is the latest athlete to express interest in an acting career. MMA star Ronda Rousey recently hinted that she would want to participate in a movie, and Anderson Silva is set to make his on-screen debut in a Steven Seagal flick. Despite being born in Russia, Sharapova doesn't have a hint of an accent, but she could use some improvement on her acting skills. Still, it's a somewhat surprising response from someone who said she would refuse an invitation to appear in "Dancing With the Stars."
Well, with all of her screaming and grunting, she would be good in X-Rated films.
Dad gummit! You beat me to it rob.
who gives a rats @#$ whar sharapoopa does . She needs tons
attention and she's not getting it in tennis anymore !who cares?

Is it Karma that Adam Silver sanctioned Donald Sterling or am I thinking about it too deeply? I'll leave it to readers to decide.
One Response to "Rumination and Pondering"
Dave Lewison Says:
June 10th, 2014 at 1:31 pm
Sterling will have the last laugh, even though the world has laughed at him until recently. What he's said and done is not funny. His team has been a laughingstock since he bought it for peanuts. As far as timing goes, he couldn't have picked a better time to publicly confirm that he has issues. He's been offered $2 billion to sit down, shut up and find something else to do. Of course he's fighting it on the principal instead of shopping for a new yacht. Nobody said he's smart, though he is rich with an offer to become insanely rich. I would consider taking $2 billion for something I bought for under $50 million in exchange for saying some stupid things.

Bridal Beauty #3288
One of the hardest to find wedding dresses was fashioned of a woven white-on-white fabric with sheer sleeves, bib ruffle, and satin ribbon neckband. The simple headpiece was a big satin bow with tulle veil. Her bouquet was a lace "basket" of yellow and blue flowers with yellow handle and white satin ribbon bow. White square toe shoes completed this desirable outfit.

The National Retail Federation on Wednesday launched a 60-day lobbying, grassroots and media campaign aimed at ensuring that a new federal law — which is designed to save retailers and their customers more than $1 billion a month by lowering the "swipe fees" banks charge to process debit card transactions — takes effect in late July as scheduled.
The Generic Pharmaceutical Association and other trade and patient advocacy groups can push generic drug usage as a way to save on medical costs, but throwing the weight of Congress behind generics gives them a bigger boost than ever.
A new congressional caucus will look for ways to educate the public and members of Congress on how to reduce the country's healthcare costs with affordable medicines.
The Health Choices Coalition sent a letter to members of Congress, urging them to repeal legislation that limits coverage of over-the-counter medicines.
Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals and the World Federation of Hemophilia announced Thursday a three-year extension of Bayer's sponsorship agreement with the WFH.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Studies have indicated that the best people to get patients to adhere to their medication therapies are store pharmacists, while the second-best people are nurses. Thus, it's only natural that getting nurses and pharmacists to collaborate will further improve adherence. The collaborative care track that The Drug Store News Group will introduce at the Retail Clinician Education Congress in August is a step in that direction.
The congressional Dietary Supplement Caucus held its first briefing for the 112th Congress April 6 to a capacity crowd of 60 House and Senate staffers, the caucus announced Thursday.
Local pharmacists work with patients and law enforcement to combat the abuse of controlled substances and other prescription drugs, but changes to federal policy are needed to allow pharmacists to play a greater role, the National Community Pharmacists Association suggested Thursday in comments submitted to Congress.
Just two weeks after expressing its discouragement caused by the delayed swipe-fee reform, the National Retail Federation lauded a letter from a coalition of consumer groups that also opposed the delay, which is slated to go into effect this summer.
Studies have indicated that the best people to get patients to adhere to their medication therapies are store pharmacists, while the second-best people are nurses. Thus, it's only natural that getting nurses and pharmacists to collaborate will further improve adherence. The collaborative care track that The Drug Store News Group will introduce at the Retail Clinician Education Congress in August is a step in that direction.
The generic drug industry's main lobby in Washington is hoping to head off cuts to the Food and Drug Administration's Office of Generic Drugs, which it said could have a "devastating impact" on those who rely on generics.
It's about time lawmakers start to understand the real threats posed by drug reimportation and unlicensed Internet pharmacy sites. About 20% of the current members of Congress are newly elected, and there is this recurring, cyclical fascination among politicians that we can fix everything with drug reimportation. But mandating electronic track and trace right now is a bad idea.
The National Retail Federation said legislation introduced Tuesday to delay swipe fee reform, which is scheduled to go into effect this summer, would block retailers from giving discounts to consumers who use debit cards and would cost merchants and the public more than $1 billion per month.
Ten members of Congress expressed concerns over a provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that is said to reduce Medicare program costs, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The National Association of Chain Drug Stores and the National Community Pharmacists Association on Tuesday urged Congress to permit the Federal Reserve Board to expedite the implementation of an amendment to the financial-reform legislation.
Capitol Hill will turn into a sea of white lab coats Wednesday and Thursday as more than 350 pharmacy advocates from almost 40 states visit Washington for the third annual National Association of Chain Drug Stores RxImpact Day, NACDS said Wednesday.
Walgreens' winning of an award for its MTM services came right before it joined the Care Continuum Alliance — a group of more than 200 stakeholders that provide such services as wellness and prevention programs and management of chronic conditions — of which CVS Caremark already was a member.
As one retail pharmacy executive put it, "many members of Congress only experience the pharmacy industry through their eyes as a patient." Thanks to NACDS RxImpact Day on Capitol Hill, however, that no longer has to be the case.
Though efforts to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act via the court system remain under way — with recent victories for opponents in Virginia and Florida — the attempt to repeal the healthcare-reform bill in Congress failed, thus leaving the bill and, most importantly, the regulatory approval pathway for follow-on biologics intact.
The Obama administration's proposed budget for 2012 contains an item that could change the game for biosimilars, according to published reports.
The National Association of Chain Drug Stores and its members from across the country once again are flocking to Capitol Hill for RxImpact Day, a groundbreaking, two-day event that enables pharmacists to meet with members of Congress to discuss the vital role of retail pharmacy within the U.S. healthcare system and its ability to help reduce annual healthcare costs.
It never made much sense to make health care less affordable under the Affordable Care Act — neither did the requirement of a prescription for a nonprescription remedy jive with proponents of flexible spending accounts. So it's little wonder that the FSA rule changes were the first piece of ObamaCare to face a congressional axe, as was widely speculated just last week.
Recent restrictions imposed on flexible spending accounts appear to be the first piece of ObamaCare to be challenged by the new Congress.
One of the more recognizable faces of the Natural Products Association will be leaving association work in favor of the Food and Drug Administration, Drug Store News learned Wednesday.
As soon as members of Congress took their seats last month, the new Republican majority announced it would make good on its pledge to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The effort largely is symbolic and unlikely to succeed, so at least one portion of the healthcare-reform law will likely remain in effect, namely the abbreviated approval pathway for follow-on biologics, also known as the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act.

Notes & Reviews:
In The Latest Instalment Of The Decca Ansermet Legacy, Decca Eloquence Introduces The Swiss Conductor's Recordings Of Beethoven - His Symphony Cycle, Overtures And The Rare Weingartner Arrangement Of The Grosse Fuge. They Are Issued As Three 2cd Sets. Fran+ºois Hudry, The Supreme Commentator On The Art Of Ernest Ansermet Writes, "the New Vision He Brought To The Beethoven Symphonies Was Astonishing. Perhaps He Was Too Early In What He Did, In His Respect For The Text And In His Weeding Out Of All The Romantic Touches And Subjectivity Which Held Sway At The Time. Without Recourse To So-called 'authentic' Instruments, Ansermet Was Trying To Return To The Composer's Intentions, As Given In The Score, Avoiding The Imposition Of Any Responses Of His Own On The Audience." In Beethoven, Ansermet Heard Not Just A Titan But A Romantic, Sensual Man, Not Just A Thunderer But Composer Of Sensitivity And Subtlety. Even The Mighty 'eroica' Was Allowed To A Reveal A Softer, Perhaps Even A More Feminine Aspect. Whether He Was Conducting Beethoven Or Ravel, Ansermet Had A Fine Ear For Instrumental Colour, And A Talent For Keeping Rhythms Well-sprung And Flexible. At Times, Ansermet's Beethoven Even Seems To Anticipate The 'authentic' Beethoven Performances That Became Popular In The 1990s, Although Ansermet Got His Results Without Having To Rely On The Sometimes Unpredictable Behaviour Of Period Instruments. Artists: L'orchestre De La Suisse Romande, Ernest Ansermet
Ten recordings of classical masterpieces, ranging from Beethoven to Berlioz, performed under the baton of Claudio Abbado, Zubin Mehtaand more, rereleased at an affordable price.

Carlo's sketchbook
So my name is carlo and I've been trying to improve my drawing for about a year now, I'm still not there yet but i thought I would post my digital sketches here so that i could get some critiques and improve my art faster. I also wanted to do this since I just started drawing digitally in the hope that someday I could be as good as anthony jones, kekai kotaki, frank frazetta, feng zhu (some of the people that inspire me) and the like (it's a long list).
To start it off here are some sketches

Ben Franklin and the Chamber of Time
The light froze everyone in their tracks, except for Benny, Franklin's nephew. Desperately, he pushed his way past his mother until he stood in the doorway.
'Please no, please no!' Clamored in his brain.
Benny caught hold of the paneling around the doorway and peered into the room. A cloud of vapor obscured his view of the chamber. The odor within was most foul and putrid. A ...more

It's been so long since I read this that I can't give a complete review. Anyway, this book was based on a creative idea (time traveling + rapid aging). I seem to recall the teen characters weren't as compelling, and I thought the ending of the book was a bit of a cop-out. It was an interesting read, though.

Its not the kind of genre I read. It was hard to get into it and fully be sucked in. The story was a pretty OK one I suppose. And, it kinda leaves you with a sort of cliffhanger in the end. Aside from those, not very climactic for my taste

My husband put it together with no cursing or throwing tools! That says a lot!! I bought it for him and he likes it. It is heavy duty and easy to adjust.
It will do
T from MI – Verified Buyer
This bike was easy to assemble (once you figured out that most of the screws are already attached to the bike and you just need to unscrew and attach the correct part to it). But my biggest peeve with this bike is the display, for the amount I paid I thought I would be getting a display that was more modern and update then a threw back from the world of Atari. Heck every time I look at this display I want to play Pitfall or PAC-man. The display is very old school and can be hard to read for people who are used to reading modern displays. As far as the functionality of the bike, I have not had the chance to use it cause of a work injury that accrued the day after I finished putting this bike together. And another peeve is that the power supply for this bike is too short and there is no way for me to order a replacement cord that is longer for it .
great deal
Walter from San Antonio, TX – Verified Buyer
Easy to assemble seems very sturdy, works very quietly the display and program are a bit old fashioned Alll in all, very satisfied.

text: Janice Easley's fury over illegal immigration boiled over Saturday as she confronted Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson at the Music Man Square museum.She said she recalled a film about Mexicans who wanted to take over California and New Mexico. Calling illegal immigrants a taxpayer burden, she wondered whether Americans could march in the streets of Mexico and demand welfare. When Iowans call up the power company, she said, "everything is in Spanish; it's sickening.""You are so, so right," Thompson responded. English should be the national language, he told the retiree, and immigrants bear some of the blame for the home-loan crisis. "A lot of them couldn't communicate with the people they were getting the mortgage from," he said.

Control-wise, it looks like the game continues it's originality....
I guess two new players were going at it there.

Ok, that was pretty terrible. But, to be fair, I expect that was because of the modest skill level of the players.
