Ok. In my 43 years atop horses, I've had some doozies. But if I had to pick just one, it would be this one, because it happened during a clinic with an "I" judge. At USET Headquarters, Gladstone NJ. Yes, my friends, the fairytale Mecca of all US English-riding little girls and boys, and big ones too.
My first horse, a bloody gorgeous 17H Dutch WB gelding ex-jumper by Le Mexico and I accompanied mybtrainer to the 2 day clinic with a well-known and much beloved elder statesman-judge here in the NorthEast. I had ridden since I was 10, starting in H/J, moving to 3 Day and dressage in college. Quit for a while after college to start my business, then started back and found my boy.
Cecil was stunning, both conformation-wise and moving. I collected many inquiries about him from big name dressage riders and trainers until they found out his age- I bought him when he was 10 and lost him at age 14. He was very sensitive and difficult-his free walk overtracked by almost 2 ft. Measured, and one had to exercise care not to resemble a porn star when riding it, as it made your pelvis do things it didn't know it could
Back to Gladstone. I bring this gorgeous horse into the upper level of the main barn. Riders of all levels were there, and EVERYONE knew more than me. But of course, I didn't know that yet I thought that I was a prittty, prittty, priittty good rider. I'd done a little big eq, did some low jumpers, evented with success, did a few dressage shows, all on schoolhorses. I taught some. I was pretty good, I thought.
Oh no. First lesson, I started warming up in the indoor. My horse just got faster and faster and I did what I thought was DRESSAGE. Hmmph.
Clinician gradually stopped giving generalizations to the large audience an began to watch me with consternation. Try as he might, and try as I did, I couldn't grasp what he wanted.
So then it happened.He told me to drop the reins. And hold onto the pommel.
Then he ran beside me with his hands on the reins near the bit.
I have the whole thing on video. Round and round we went, him jiggling and jogging, me bouncing and mortified. Did I mention the standing-room-only gallery
So, lets hear them. Your most humbling experience. Doesn't have to be dressagey, just funny.

Seperate monster chop fest/clinics and drum playing but with no clear purpose or understanding of how to apply any of it in "real life" musical situations is not doing any developing young player any good in my view in the long run. Just my opinion as as a "musical" drummer and working professional in acoustic jazz music situations.
Case in point:
Last night I had my first rehearsal with a new Big Band I just joined. Nothing that took place in the evening on the bandstand last night had anything to do with pure "all about the drums" killer drum chops per se but had everything to do with the challenge of interpreting and reading each chart and knowing just what to play as a drummer on the spot to best fit with the music and other musicians for each given chart on stage. This is what is important to me and requires some concentration and hard work and a sense of developing musical "ears" from the drummer that goes for me something far beyond seperate from actual performance killer chops at the end of the day but focused on how to use "chops" for setting the way for skills in the actual performance and context of a real band/musical situation.
Well, you noticed I change my post after I wrote it. I don't want to say that working on obtuse coordination has no value. But if you don't know chart reading, you need to be working on chart reading. A lot of that superfluous stuff is superfluous stuff; but it can help your drumming, though not if you haven't concentrated on the task at hand.
One of the things that I've been working on over the last year is playing something over and over trying to finder deeper nuances to make it meaningful. I can see this with my students. I know exactly when "Elvis has left the building." And I call them on it. I notice that this attention to detail has helped my playing. I can always tell the exact moment when a musician is thinking about "picking up his laundry." It's a basic premise in life. If you aren't enjoying it in the moment when it is happening, then when are you enjoying it? :)
People often see technique as chops, i.e. how fast you can play. I know we've talked about this before; but in my view, technique encompasses everything you do as a musician. I was teaching one of my students the Soca. He asked, "How do you get that consistent sound out of the snare drum part." I said, "Watch what I am doing; What is it?" He looked and said, "It is Moeller," and a light went on. I know that it too formalistic for some people; but it works for me.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Despite feeling 'really good,' D-backs' Chase Anderson takes a loss to Milwaukee
PHOENIX -- Sometimes feeling good on the pitcher's mound doesn't equate to wins.
That was the case for Arizona Diamondbacks' rookie right-hander Chase Anderson Thursday.
Anderson didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning and pitched six strong innings, but took a 4-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in the finale of a four-game series at Chase Field.
"I felt really good out there -- that was one of the better days I've felt out there on the mound," Anderson said. "You know, they had a couple bloop hits and I limited the damage, but it just wasn't enough today."
Anderson, who fell to 5-2 on the season, yielded just five hits and struck out four, but didn't help himself in the field. With one out in the sixth, Milwaukee shortstop Jean Segura bounced a high chopper to the third-base side of the mound. Anderson fielded it, but his throw to first baseman Paul Goldschmidt was in the dirt and skittered to the fence, allowing Segura to reach second base. He'd score two batters later when Aramis Ramirez singled to left field past a diving Didi Gregorius to give Milwaukee a 3-1 lead.
"I should have just ate it. I should have known he was a fast runner," Anderson said. "I should said 'that's a hit' and gone back to the mound, but I guess it was the adrenaline going -- you want to throw it and try to get him out but I should know he's a fast runner and not do that."
Despite the costly error, Anderson's manager was pleased with the youngster's performance.
"He gave us a chance to win," Kirk Gibson said. "I decided to take him out of the game -- he's a young kid and was close to 90 pitches. With how their offense was setting up, I let (Oliver Perez) come in that inning -- he hadn't pitched in a while.
"But I thought he did his job and gave us a chance to win."
The Diamondbacks averaged 9.0 runs in Anderson's first five starts, which were all wins. In his last two outings, however, the runs have been harder to come by. Arizona pushed across just one run in the right-hander's last start -- a loss to the Dodgers in Los Angeles -- and one more Thursday.
"Overall, Chase has been really good for us," Gibson said. "I'll take care of him and kind of watch his innings as we go along. He was a reliever last year and I think he threw around 88 innings. He's close to 80 innings right now as a starter this year, so it's something we'll have to discuss."

Obama played 'class envy' card
Based on the recent com- ments by President Obama about taxing the "rich," what does it mean for the "wealthy to pay a little more?" Common wisdom, at least according to the media, is that the wealthy don't pay enough, and the way we can lessen the deficit is by having them pay a "little more." Seems fair, right?
The entire story about the wealthy needing to "pay their fair share" is simply about envy. That is a large part of why Obama won re-election: "Class Envy."
Walter E. Williams of Townhall.com writes that, "According to IRS 2007 data, the richest 1 percent of Americans earned 22 percent of national personal income but paid 40 percent of all personal income taxes. The top 5 percent earned 37 percent and paid 61 percent of personal income tax. The top 10 percent earned 48 percent and paid 71 percent of all personal income taxes. The bottom 50 percent earned 12 percent of personal income but paid just 3 percent of income tax revenues."
And the worst part is, it won't work. If the top 1 percent had nearly 90 percent of their money taken from them, they would not invest in anything. And seeing that many small businesses fall under higher tax brackets, these increased taxes would stifle growth in almost every aspect of the job market — aside from government jobs, which I'm sure will be booming under the Obama administration.
What this means is that envy trumps progress. Obama has fostered class envy in the face of actual financial progress. He used envy in order to get elected, at the expense of our country. Whether that is ideological or malicious, we may never know.
Our forefathers came to this country because of the possibility where anyone who worked hard could become rich. How sad for America to now have class envy as an American value.
Cathy Lukasko, Brookfield
Do you really think Democrats envy Republicans? I feel sorry for you.
Her's one for you Cathy--the top 10% own 90% of the wealth in this country,but only pay 70% of the taxes.
How much money do you have?
Not only did Obama pay the class envy card, he played the race card. If you voted against him, you were racist.
A recent editorial noted that most people are prejudiced, even though they may not even realize it. C'm on! This is ridiculous!
I would have voted for a good black man for president, if one had run.
Blah & SN I can't wait until ALL of the new taxes in the OBAMMY care kicks in . I'm willing to bet you two are first in the complaint line. But maybe not , you two might be part of he 47% who don't pay any taxes at all. I hope he comes after people like you two too. The free ride is going to be OVER , and very soon!
I don't mind letting the rich Democrats pay more they are about 75% of the richest people in the country.
Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Larry Ellison Democrats together are worth 126 billion dollars
John Kerry with his rich wife over one billion dollar. They are richer than Romney and his wife.
Out of ten richest in the House of Representatives and the Senate only three are Republicans.
I don't mind letting John Kerry and his rich wife (D) over a billion dollars, Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) $112.13 million, Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.)
$112.13 million, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.)$80.45 million, Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) .$72.37 million, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) $42.94 million pay more, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) $12.53 million, Sen. Harry Reid $6 million and Obama 11.8 million pay more.
I guess you are calling JFK a butthead?
blah, get a job.
Blah You are so stupid that you don't ese the whole picture. It starts with the younger crowd then moves onto the older workers. Just watch. I have been told by many of my older friends that they are now worry about being out of work. But as long as it doesn't affect you, you probably think we are moving FORWARD I guess. As I hear it NO one is safe including you!
Blah One other thing once everyone is NOT working. Who's going to pay for your WELFARE benes? Stupid!!!!
How I love to see conservatives like this whine and moan!
Accept the truth, all the rhetoric and fake scandals in the world couldn't get the majority of people to buy into your lies. All the simple-minded rhetoric about tax codes, job-creators, and muslim atheists; and all they could come up with are a bunch of angry and confused 80 year olds....and a psychotic 28 year old in Arizona!
Hahahahaha. This really is a great time to be alive.
Blah seems to forget that that same mandate that Obama allegedly was given also applies to the House of Representatives. I guess there was a mandate by the voters that the Republicans were to maintain control of the House.
It's a shame the Vindy just edited your letter. They should have put it in the "circular file" with the other garbage.
The election is over. You and your tea bagging cronies lost. America has spoken. Get over it or move to one of those laughable states that want to "secede". Good riddance to bad rubbage.
"Don't try to have a meaningful discussion with drunks or crazy people......"
So I'll refrain from commenting on the original letter.
This lady says ".....Our forefathers came to this country because of the possibility where anyone who worked hard could become rich. How sad for America to now have class envy as an American value."
She's partially correct. She left out the part about them FIRST creating rules so that the playing field was level. That's sort of important. And that was exactly the point of this election. The rules of the game have been rigged for the past 40 years by the starting players. And they sold it to this lady and the rest of the teapublican party as trickle down economics, and leave the job creators alone so they can earn their profits. Well, we've been doing that -- and over the last five years American corporations have raked in record profits under our tax code. The only thing the job creators forgot to do with those record profits was to actually create any jobs. Time for plan B. When a compnay outsorces jobs, they pay higher taxes. When they create new jobs, they can get a break. When they earn millions upon millions in profit from their factories in Mexico and China and then sell their stuff here, they pay higher tax. It's not about envy, it's economics. The field must be level, or else only the crooked can win.
at least she signs her name and not hide under some shall we say "blah" alias. by the way did obamacare grant you a medical degree to make the obsessive compulsive diagnosis?
Hey blah, you say that Papa Johns made 55M last. That's no big deal if you consider all of the stores they have.
They have 3500 stores. That 55M amounts to $16,000 per store.
I am so glad the voters sent a mandate for the Congress or we all would just bend over and let government have it's way with us. We all need to be thankful the Congress still has a Republican majority or it is over.
Why do you think Ms.Pelosi is checking her diaper to see how things are going. She is a cancer in the Congress. I hope she goes back home.
My guess is if she retires they can appoint her naferious daughter to fill her seat.
We conservatives will bide our time and watch Obama turn his supporters against him, provided he does not go to jail.
The rich sent the good paying middle class jobs to Mexico and China. If that isn't class warfare, I don't know what is.
Hahahahahahaha!! Brightens my day to see these conservatives. How their world just imploded when they realized that most Americans won't buy what they're selling.
As for the House, good thing the GOP was able to gerrymander like they did. If not, they would've lost that as well, remember there were more Democratic votes in the House election than there were GOP. Remove artificially created House districts, start playing a fair game, and the GOP is removed to permanent minority status.
What a great day!
The teabagger/republicans did as much to reelect Obama as any group or donor in the country, thanks for that. Since they are defective, irrelevant and no longer needed they should just go live in those red states they love so much.
Hey Dwight, your posts are very general. Why don't you provide some examples?
Newsmaker, Clinton was president of the U.S., not companies like Delphi, Whirlpool, and a thousand others who took advantage of NAFTA. Yeah, outsourcing was legal but it brought wage growth to a screeching halt. That decision was made by the rich CEO's on behalf of their wealthy investors. That's true class warfare.
Since election day, layoffs have increased, the NYSE is down almost 700 points. What's going on?
Obama has a major decision to make - wether to hang on to his radical left-wing agenda or to come to the true middle and actually work with congress for the good of the middle class and the greater good of this country. I have a feeling that in 2016 we will be able to tell all those elated Dems, "I told you so." At least we wont hear "blame it on Bush" excuse, because it will be all on Obama.
Call it the Envey card. Race card. Class warfare card. call it whay you want repubs. But in the end, CALL IT THE WINNING CARD.
The day before the election Rush Limbaugh said Willard will win by a THRASHING, a Landslide, romney will get 300 or more electoral votes.
When PRESIDENT OBAMA recorded over 320 electoral votes, Rush said the repubs barely lost the election. I guess more then romney is a flip/flop in the repub party.
TEXAS, if you leave the country, Take W with you.
I'm going to add you along with blah, IM, and you AAC. GO GET A JOB!
"Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen.
"Now add this, "Many of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.
It is obvious the left believes "they" are always right/correct. Now we will see. You now have 8 yrs, and will you still be blaming others for YOUR failed assbackward thinking? LETS SEE I AM BROKE- I WILL NOW GIVE AWAY trillions more in money that does not exist. How does that work? The it hasnt begun to hit the fan yet. I sure hope bama sticks around when we are fighti8ng each other for food in a short time. Think it cant happen? The panic is just starting-Hostess-18,000 jobs today. And when the little companys get the bill for bama care-FREE health care for the masses-illegal aliens come on in we will cover you with health insurance. How many little companys will choose to keep working to pay these fines/taxes. If you think it wont happen-keep drinking your Kool-aid. Line up at the trough and suck it dry-
Obama Care will not be free there will be a fine assess to those who show up "without" collectable by the IRS. But blood from a turnip? This debauchery of health care will results in riots and some dead hospital staff when people find out it is not totally free
Hostess gone, banks nation wide expect 160,000 people with cut hours or layoffs Denny's cut back. others will soon follow as employers will have to report employees and hours and wages for 2014. the 40 hour work week just became 29 and still expect prices to go up and they will. So get ready to learn the trickle down effect with your wallet
Only 63 shopping days left until Obama's 2nd Inauguration!!

cross load no more
Picked one of these up for me a while back. Love the way that it holds everything in place with no cross load. Eventually the inevitable happened and my 8 year old daughter claimed it. The first two times practicing loading it she fumbled, but now she throwes it on with not a single hickup. I'll be picking me up another one shortly.

Fantasia brings the heat and the sexiness with her new video for 'Without You' the second single from her album 'Side Effects Of You'. The new visuals were directed by GoMillion and Leupold and features Kelly Rowland and infectious rap by hip hop queen Missy Elliott.
All three ladies shine bright like diamonds and even deliver some provocative dance moves. Earlier after the album was released Fantasia expressed how she wanted Missy to direct so no word on if Missy added her infamous directorial flair to the video. You can tell Fantasia and Kelly had great chemistry and the collaboration is definitely a win in my book.

Sea Life 2014
Sorry, this product is sold out
Under the sea, plants and animals are often quite remarkable. In underwater images taken around the world, photographer Foster Bam captures fascinating examples of sea life, which are described by Dr. John McCosker, director emeritus of the California Academy of Sciences Steinhart Aquarium. Sea Life features 24 photos—a major and a minor photo each month. Prepare to dive!
14 x 22 inches, open
About Sea Life:
Since 1991 Foster Bam and I have annually created a Sea Life Calendar for the California Academy of Sciences that explores and explains life on a coral reef. The subjects have ranged from minute sea slugs to monstrous manta rays, located in exotic outposts from Isla Tiburon, Mexico, to Komodo Island, Indonesia. Foster has photographed the denizens of pristine reefs as well as those of reefs damaged by coral bleaching, and habitats ranging from mucky shallow bays to the open sea. We have enjoyed sharing these calendars with you but must now say that this will be our last calendar.
Looking back, we have seen that oceanic ecosystems, and particularly those of coral reefs, have suffered significantly since the late 20th century. Human refuse, chemical pollution, sedimentation, climate change and ocean acidification have taken their toll on reefs. Corals have become bleached as temperatures increase, smothered by algae as herbivorous fishes have been removed, and demolished by dynamite and cyanide in many areas. Overfishing, particularly at higher levels of the food chain, has dramatically reduced fish populations and the ecosystem services that they once provided. When we began diving it wasn't uncommon to jump in and see schools of reef sharks as one's bubbles cleared. Ninety percent of the world's sharks are now gone, their fins removed for soup, and the ecology of food webs are imbalanced without them. Invasive species have contributed to this depletion by aggressively competing for food and by consuming the young and adults of native species. Lionfish from the tropical Pacific have recently invaded the Caribbean with catastrophic consequences, and San Francisco Bay, once the most productive estuary in the eastern Pacific, is now home to invaders that account for 97 percent of the species and 99 percent of the Bay's biomass.
Marine research has accelerated since 1991. The Census of Marine Life, a 10-year international effort involving 2,700 international scientists, undertook 540 expeditions and discovered thousands of additional new species. It will provide a baseline of the diversity and distribution of marine life that will allow proper management and conservation of the oceanic life.
There is hope for the future of the oceans. Marine life is resilient if given a chance. Marine Protected Areas have been created to serve as nurseries for spawning adults. Most marine life are prolific spawners and the young will quickly inhabit adjoining areas to provide the stocks that have been extirpated. Fishery limits and seasons have been imposed on local and international waters and several threatened species have returned, a decade later, to healthy levels. Fish farming and ranching, where appropriate, provide half of all seafood consumed, and improvements have been made to reduce the associated pollution and excessive use of antibiotics. However the depletion of fish stocks (e.g. menhaden, anchovies, sardines) required to feed such high value species continues unabated. More Americans are choosing to purchase only sustainable seafood, assisted by suppliers such as Wal-Mart and Costco and institutions such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium which produce wallet-sized cards that list appropriate species. Many aquarium species are now bred in captivity so that wild stocks needn't be depleted. And most promising is the vigor with which children are learning to appreciate and respect the marine environment. Museums like the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco and its Steinhart Aquarium are helping to explore the life forms and systems of the sea, and through the education provided by their displays and programs the fragile oceans can be protected for future generations.

Ryanair, the World's most hated airline, are famed for their hidden extras that add plenty of fat to your total fare. However, we can reveal that the sneaky scam artists have been working hard at keeping the fat off when it comes to their 2012 Ryanair calendar.
That's right, just as a Ryanair fare of £2.99 from somewhere in the middle of nowhere to another place somewhere in the middle of nowhere can often seem too good to be true, the same can be said of the pictures of their cabin crew on their calendar.
We asked a photographic expert to examine the pictures and tell us how many hidden extras photoshop had concealed.
What became clear very quickly was the level of skill used in manipulating the images. On a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is "expert" and 1 is "blind as a bat", we'd score Ryanair's efforts in the range of a vision impared chiroptera.
Did you know that bats represent about twenty percent of all classified mammal species worldwide, with about 1,240 bat species divided into two suborders: the less specialized and largely fruit-eating megachiroptera, or flying foxes, and the more highly specialized and echolocating microchiroptera? Interesting.
Back to business. Check out these two screen grabs to see what we mean…

Great skills there O'Leary. Did you do these yourself? Come on, admit it.

It was only 2 days ago we posted a questionable email from a Canadian HTC rep that informing a customer that the HTC Droid Incredible (1) would not be receiving an Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Or rather, "was not currently on the list" of devices on schedule for an update. Well, fast forward to today where we just received a Phantip from one of our readers who received an email from a U.S. HTC rep informing him the Incredible is still slated to receive the 2.3 Gingerbread update and that there has been no official release from HTC cancelling this.
Hate to say, "we told you so," but just like in our previous post — grain of salt, people. It's never gospel until you hear it from an HTC or Verizon spokesperson. Any HTC Incredible users out there excited about this news? Keep in mind, the email from the HTC rep also said there was still no estimated release date but sometimes hope is all we need.
Thanks, Mike!

Free Springtime Printables Inspired by Fossil Spring 2013
The Spring 2013 Fossil catalog arrived in my mailbox right before I left on my trip to Alt, but it wasn't until yesterday while straightening up that I finally had a chance to look through its pages. I'm so glad I did! The colors and pieces Fossil has introduced for the coming season are gorgeous. I immediately wanted one of everything!
However since that's not really a possibility (darn you bank account) I decided to use the pages as inspiration for a set of free printable tags and note flats to share with you instead.
Download the printable sets (available in aqua and melon) using the buttons below. I hope you'll enjoy them (I'd love to hear about the clever ways you use them). Thanks for the inspiration Fossil! xo Ez
P.S. Last year I used a different fashion collection as inspiration for another printable set. Check it out here.

Since Mad Men burst onto our screens the mid-century style, like the hourglass shape is making a comeback. Here are some tips that will add a touch of retro charm to your home without going overboard.
Shape – Think Curvaceous
Like the pin up of the day Marilyn Monroe, this is an era all about shapes and curves. Banish any square thoughts, and replace with the famous 'egg' chair. This furniture created by Danish designer, Arne Jacobsen, is the unique contrast between hard utilitarian edges and soft curves that give the egg its distinct shape. They have seen a revival in recent years, as they make great statement pieces and add touch of the retro vibe in your bedroom without being too over the top.
The Studio Couch
The studio couch wasn't introduced until the late 1950's; its revolutionary design put comfort first. Multifunctional design, this piece of furniture can be used as a sofa and also double up as a single guest bed.
Paint A Rainbow/Paint It Black
Think muted when choosing colours to create the mid-century look. There are lots of cool, pale colour ways to create this style in your bedroom; this earthy warm palette includes dusty greens, dirty yellows, strong blues, black, white and rust. There are lots of cool, pale colour ways in this look. These colours are beautiful with all that well-oiled wooden furniture.
Think Warm Wood
Woody tones are an essential part of this look. Wood can be used extensively by either panelling your whole bedroom or more sparsely through a stylish wooden headboard. By choosing an inexpensive wood you can stain it yourself to suit your scheme to recreate that classic 1950's look.
Choose A Fun Graphic Print
Graphic prints were used heavily in this era from movie posters to clothes. You can use graphic prints almost anywhere in your home, from a statement wall in your master bedroom, to the tiles in your bathroom or a café tabletop for your kitchen. Graphic designs are used to create a fun looking room.
Add A Painting Or Print
A piece of art or a painting can not only add to a bedroom look but can cement it too. Buying the right piece is therefore essential. For the mid-century modern look you could take a graphic print and turn it into piece of artwork by placing it either on your walls or on your bedroom furniture. This is a great way to experiment with the prints before you create your statement wall.
Nature Inspired Fabric Prints
Nature inspired motifs and prints are a great way to add a splash of mid-century style to your bedroom. Using bigger and bolder patterns is the best to capture the essence of this classic look. Buying a rug, cushions or daringly upholstering a modular arm chair or a headboard is just the tip of the iceberg for this versatile graphic print.
Showcase Your Quirky Finds
It's the small quirky vintage items displayed around your room that will cement the mid-century modern style. Go to antique markets, vintage fairs or even car boot sales to get your vintage finds. You can even create a shelf display dedicated just to them.
Choose A Bold Carpet
Having a statement carpet is just as effective as a statement wall to create this fantastic style. Have neutral to really let the carpet speak for itself. If you just want a splash of bold design why not try a rug on neutral floor.
Clear the Clutter
As with most styles, they look best with no clutter. The mid-century modern look is no different. Keep your bedroom simple and unfussy; let the warm wood, graphic prints, shapely furniture, bold foliage designs and colour palettes do the talking.

Twelve-year-old Isabel dreams of getting out of Oregon, but with her mom opening a cupcake shop in their small town, Isabel knows she's not going anywhere.
Things start looking up when Isabel learns about a baking contest with a trip to New York City as the prize. If she can come up with a winning recipe, her dreams of travel might come true. Unfortunately, her best friend, Sophie, decides to enter the contest, too. This doesn't bode well for Isabel, as things always fall into place for Sophie.
Though Isabel has an amazing chocolate tart recipe, her mother wants her to enter a cupcake recipe to help promote the shop. Isabel's summer is turning out to be a roller coaster ride of decisions and life-altering events, and she isn't enjoying the thrill of it all.
I loved this novel! What a delight to follow Isabel and the other characters on a sweet journey of discovery. Schroeder does a great job of creating likable characters, and her descriptions had me drooling and craving cupcakes. Thank goodness she rewarded my reading with cupcake recipes at the end of the book!

For NM State Media Relations
LAS CRUCES (April 13) - With the 2011 Women's Golf Western Athletic Conference Championship starting on April 15, it marks a possible end of the road for NM State's three senior golfers.
Lauren (Buz) Bowerman-Ritchie, Suteera (Pang) Chanachai, and Apinporn (Mint) Swaschuto, who have had great success on and off of the course, are Head Coach Paul Brillant's first senior class since returning to NM State in 2006. Brilliant couldn't be more proud.
"We have been building towards this year," Briliant said. "Before this year we didn't have anything to build on, before we had no foundation."
All three players were put completely out of their comfort zone since they come from different countries. Bowerman-Ritchie hails from Canada whereas Chanachai and Swaschuto both come from Thailand.
The team's biggest achievement came when they won the NM State Price's "Give 'em Five" Invitational in the fall of 2010. The team shot 866 (+2) with all three of the seniors tying for sixth place with 218 (+2). The team broke a school record by shooting the lowest score that any other women's golf team at NM State had at that tournament.
Despite the fact that they are a team, they are still individuals with different personalities.
According to Brilliant, Bowerman-Ritchie is an artist that makes jewelry, pottery, and paintings. When she first arrived at NM State she was not sure what she wanted to study. Brilliant says that she has just recently found herself.
"Buz (Bowerman-Ritchie) is a lot of fun," Co-head coach Jackie Booth said. "has been and always will be."
Swaschuto had offers from a few different schools on the east coast. However she chose to come to NM State because it was sunny and she can play all year long. Booth describes her as "Miss Consistency," although she hasn't always been that way. Over the last four years her course management has really improved according to Booth.
Chanachai, who the coaches claim to be the best of the three, was the WAC freshman of the year for the 2007 season. One of the biggest things she had to overcome was her lack of patience and trying to stay positive while playing. According to Brilliant, Chanachai has the talent to play at the next level.
All three seniors have been here for four years and they have given their coaches and fellow players four year's worth of wonderful memories.
"Watching them come in as high school kids and then they leave here as young woman, that's the fun part," Booth said
The NM State Women's Golf team will be playing in the WAC Championship from April 15-17 at the Long Bow Golf Club in Mesa, Arizona.

The Law Backs Schwarzenegger's Pay-Cut Plan
William B. Gould IV is quoted in a San Jose Mercury News iarticle about Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's controversial plan to cut state workers' pay to the federal minimum wage level until a budget is reached by the California legislature:
SACRAMENTO - Democratic leaders and labor activists this week declared it would be illegal for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to slash state workers' salaries to the minimum wage until a budget deal is reached.
But a California Supreme Court decision five years ago indicates otherwise. Instead, it is Democratic Controller John Chiang, with the job of issuing paychecks, who would be snubbing the law if he continues to pay state employees as he has promised.
Whether the governor or anyone else can stop Chiang is another matter, but the law seems to leave little room for interpretation.
"It's a relatively clear cut case," Bill Gould, a professor at Stanford Law School and former chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, said Friday. "This we know from the opinion: He (the controller) cannot make any further payments" of workers' salaries, beyond the minimum wage.

When I vey young, a circus was a very common outing for the family. ( I feel so old now since circuses are almost extinct)
In a circus, we had the ringmaster, dressed in his doorman like finery, cracking his whip, making all kinds of noises while he commanded the lions to do his bidding.
Then the jokers would come in tumbling somersaulting , hooting each others noses and the clown car horn, drawing attention from all the dangerous stunts being undertaken by the Ringmaster.
From time to time, elephants did a march past on two legs and there was a motorcycle stunt in what was referred to as a the wheel of death.
This over a time got mundane, so a new type of show was created called the 3 ringed circus.(click here to know more)
Here in one ring the elephants marched while in another the ringmaster tamed the lions and in the third the trapeze artists made people hold their breaths.
Sounds familiar ?
Arent we seeing a three ring circus all around us every day in these elections ?
Why did I suddenly think of this ?
One of my office boys is going to his home town to vote in a few days, and I asked him what are his views.
Being from a village, he still knows the concept of circuses so his words were "ek dum circus chal raha hai". (Theres a complete circus going on)
So I asked him further who would he vote for. The answer he gave is very enlightening in that it shows whats passing through the mind of a common man.
1) He said that in his village there was a single wide segment who would vote only for the candidate who was from their caste viz the Congress and its allies.
2) The others in his village he said would vote for the BJP, I asked him why he would vote for the BJP, and his answer was "unko bhi ek chance deke dekh lete hai" (lets give them a chance and see)
3) So I finally got to the third ringmaster, and I asked him what about the AAP. His answer was as shocking as it was hilarious. He said they couldn't even govern for 49 days what they will govern the country ( this unfortunately in my opinion is an albatross Kejriwal will carry to the end of his political career)
After that he said "aaj kal wo jahan jaata hai, log use thappad mate hain" (Nowadays where ever he goes , people slap him).
This unfortunately is the power of suggestion, this unfortunately is where the media power comes in. Kaho to ganga maata, kaho to behta paani ( You can consider the free flowing water as just that, but if you have faith it's the holy ganges)
Lets wait my friends , the clowns are out in full force. The clothes and caps are in all colours and shapes and sizes. Very soon, we will know which ringmaster got the most attention from the visitors.
Saati haath badana
One person who has made me laugh the loudest during this whole election is of course the clown with the largest red nose which makes a "boink" sound whenever someone presses it
Let us see the the pic which is sort of self explanatory. I got it with the quote credited to Subramanium Swamy but I'm not sure if he really said that or if its an internet myth. What is obvious is that our future PM needs the help of 3 people his mother, his sister and his brother in law whispering in his ear to just fill a normal election form.
Wah re India. We lost one Queen's dynasty in 1947 to just get another one in her place.
(Anyone familiar with Prince Charles crazy antics will know where the similarities lie)
One thing which strikes me as very funny is the repeated use of the words "we need a change" by the 43 year old "youth leader"
The last laugh of course is Mr Youth Leader, repeated mantra of we need a change. Please explain, a change from WHAT ?
From your party's govt, from your mothers leadership, from the scam after scam in the last 10 years or something else you people have messed up.

"Qcf x 2 +PPP all the time, extra button presses to throw, extra button presses to roman cancel, and many, many extremely difficult link combos work in concert to create that impenetrable wall of execution between you and the actual game," writes Sirlin. Throughout the lengthy piece, Sirlin notes that several things were added to Street Fighter IV that were unnecessary and only serve to make the game more complex. The end result, according to Sirlin: Playing the game becomes more about mastering esoteric techniques than focusing on strategy. To be fair, Sirlin does say that there's no reason the game has to cater to a casual audience, but he finds it puzzling that so many reviews claim that it does.
What do you think? Is Street Fighter IV n00b-friendly? We've posted a poll after the break, give us your vote and tell us what you think in the comments.

Important new European pyrotechnics regulations are being introduced on July 4 2013, to ensure the highest quality and safety of non-SOLAS pyrotechnics products. This includes illuminating rockets, handflares and handsmoke signals.
The standardisation begins - New European regulations for non-SOLAS pyrotechnics
The Pyrotechnic Articles Directive, 2007/23/EC, is due to be implemented into individual country legislation at the beginning of July. The directive is designed to harmonise the laws relating to the sale of non-SOLAS pyrotechnics and set a standard for their design and safety.
Justine Heeley, Managing Director of Drew Marine Signal & Safety UK, which produces the Pains Wessex brand, comments on the new regulations, 'This is a positive move for our industry as it is the first time that all non-SOLAS pyrotechnic products will have to conform to a uniform, high standard across Europe before products are placed on the market.
'Safety and performance are key for Pains Wessex, and as a world leader, our products are already of the highest quality and safety standards. We welcome this move to ensure a consistent mark of quality and compliance across all EU manufacturers.'
As well as stringent testing, the products will be categorised into groups according to their type of use. P1 indicates pyrotechnic articles with a low hazard and P2 indicates pyrotechnic articles intended for use by persons with specialist knowledge. Products will have to be labelled in the official language of the member state and cannot be sold to anyone under the age of 18. Once approved, products will carry a CE mark to prove their compliance.
Pains Wessex's non-SOLAS products are currently undergoing conformity testing and will incorporate the CE mark from July. These include:
Pains Wessex Para Illuminating Rocket
Pains Wessex Para Red Rocket (non-SOLAS)
Pains Wessex White Handflare
Pains Wessex Day & Night Signal
Pains Wessex Orange Handsmoke
Pains Wessex SOLAS pyrotechnics that comply with the 96/98/EC Marine Equipment Directive are exempt because they already meet defined standards. Similarly, the legislation does not apply to products which comply with the 96/98/EC Marine Equipment Directive (MED). Other products such as signal cartridges and personal distress signals are also exempt from this legislation.
For more information about this legislation, you can contact either your local trading standards authority or one of the Pains Wessex team

You were miles offside – Emile Heskey
As it goes this ad, which played during the 2002 World Cup, isn't that bad.
Francesco Totti finds himself playing footie, alone, in his back garden – rounding imaginary opponents before slotting the ball into what appears to be a child's goal.
Now, depending on where in Europe you lived at the time Totti in his live commentary references Christian Vieri or Michael Ballack on his way to scoring. This becomes important later. What will also become apparent is who Il Capitano tackles in the UK version.
His imaginary game of footie over, Totti leaps into his Fiat Stilo – an appalling car light years away from Fiat's current small-car range – and zooms off down the road.
Stopping at some lights, Totti notices a message on the Stilo's multimedia screen. Why, it's Vieri (or Ballack) taunting Totti by revealing that he was offside all along in his fictitious soccer match.
All of which is quite smart and fairly well-executed, if you ignore the obvious absurdities inherent in it.
What tipped this over the edge was the UK version. Who had Fiat signed up for this amusing battle of Europe? David Beckham perhaps? Or Michael Owen? Moving down the food chain a little, but still a big name, perhaps it was Big David Seaman?
Nope. Not even close. Not even Paul Scholes. The man lined up by Fiat to represent Engand in this ad – against Totti, Vieri and Ballack – was Emile Heskey.
Now, the much-maligned Heskey has his strengths in my book. His unselfish style, physical attributes and hold-up play to name three.
But did Totti even know who Emile Heskey was? Is it that likely that the two would swap matey footballing banter via text message? Is that why Heskey felt the need to sign off with a cheery 'Emile Heskey' – an unlikely way to end a text to a mate I'd have thought.
There are more questions than answers, as anyone who watched A Question of Sport in the early 1990s will know.
Perhaps the biggest question of all is whether, even years later, Totti has ever heard of Emile Heskey.
Vieri version
Ballack version
• Sadly history does not record the Heskey version. I couldn't find it anywhere

His best numbers are at LA....another poor hitters park....you sitting him there? You can't generalize on the road when I showed you he's MVPish at Colorado, LA, Chicago, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Philly and Arizona. He's very good at St Louis, Houston. He's above .800 OPS at Cincy, Wash, Flordia. Ridiculous to generalize "away" when he's great at 7 of the 15 NL parks, very good at two others, beyond adequate at 3 others. His 3 worst are at 3 of the worst hitters parks.

August 1, 2015
Law enforcement officers from around Texas and as far away as Chicago are gathering for a memorial service for an Austin police officer shot and killed last week in the line of duty.
The casket of 40-year-old Senior Officer Jaime Padron is at Austin's Shoreline Church, draped in an American flag.
It's flanked by photographs of the officer with his family, and one shows him being kissed on both checks by his daughters, ages 10 and 6.
The memorial service Wednesday is expected to draw more than 1,000 officers. A procession will take Patron to his native San Angelo for burial.
Padron was shot April 6 in a Walmart after responding to call about a disturbance.
The suspect, 24-year-old Brandon Montgomery Daniel, has been charged with capital murder.
