Complete these steps in order to activate the French Prompts for TAPS
with Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 8.x
Log in to the CUCMAdmin page on the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager server.
Navigate to the Bulk Administration/TAPS/User Locales for
TAPS menu option.
In the form that appears, ensure that both English
and French are in the Selected User Locales
box if you want to use both. If you want French only, remove the English
language. Only the languages selected on this page are used for prompts in
TAPS, as long as you have the .wav files on the UCCX
Log in to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager page with SSH,
and issue the file list tftp *.aar command.
The AAR files for the language in question appear. You should see
an entry for French_France.aar. This file contains all the
prompts necessary to run the TAPS program in French.
If you see the French_France.aar listed, issue the
tftp -I <CUCM_IP> GET French_France.aar
Use Method 1 or
Method 2 in order to activate the French
Prompts for TAPS.
Complete these steps:
Upload the file with the AAR Management section of
the AppAdmin.
Navigate to Applications/Prompt Management, and
click the en_US link.
This puts you at the root of the TAPS section of the prompts. You
see all of the TAPS prompts listed as French
France_TAPS<name>.wav. For example,
French France_TAPS1.wav, French
France_TAPS2.wav... French
Download all of these files. Be sure to retain the exact file
names. For example, there must be a space between French and
France. Once you have downloaded them all, you can delete them
from the root of the en_US directory.
Add all the downloaded prompts to a zip file so that you can
re-upload them. The name of the zip file is not important, but you must know
the location and the file name. It also must be a true zip file, not a rar,
In the Prompt Management section, click
en_US, and then click TAPS.

i-Lipo is an affordable alternative to liposuction. The cost per treatment is significantly less than more invasive treatments. Price will vary depending on the extend of treatment. Please contact individual clinics for pricing.
Can I return to normal activity straight away?
Yes in fact we recommend 30 -45 minutes of exercise post treatment to maximise the burn off of released fat cell contents.
There are no side effects. For very dark skin types occasional there may be transient pigmentation spots, but this is rare.
What does the treatment feel like?
The i-Lipo laser treatment is completely painless.
i-Lipo laser is completely safe. It uses wavelengths in the safe end of the light spectrum and initiates a natural release of fat from the cells.
Can I treat more than one area at a time?
It is recommended to treat only one area at a time as the body can only deal with so much fat removal at one time.
On average ilipo achieves a 2cm reduction off the waist with each treatment. In many cases it is as effective as more invasive type procedures.
Typically results can be seen immediately after treatment.
As long as you maintain a stable calorie intake i.e. your calorie intake is equal or less than your calorie usage, results will last indefinitely. A healthy diet and exercise programme can help maintain results for the long term.
How many treatments are required?
A standard course is 2 treatments per week for 4 weeks.

31 May 2012
Once again All-Energy, organised by Reed Exhibitions, has earned its title of 'the UK's largest renewable energy exhibition and conference' having broken all previous records in terms of space occupied by exhibitors and attendance. Held at Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC) 23-24 May, the twelfth version of the annual show attracted some 580 exhibiting companies from 19 countries occupying a record breaking 7,000m2 (net) with an additional 700m outside for displays, demonstrations and 'Ride and Drive'; total attendance of 8322 from 50 countries – an attendance increase of 8%; and over 300 speakers in the conference and seminar programme.
This upward trend has been seen throughout the show's history with every show being larger than its predecessor and more people attending. Now planning begins in earnest for All-Energy 2013, to be held at AECC on 22 and 23 May 2013.
The 2012 show got off to a flying start on 23 May with a 'dream team' of plenary session speakers including the new Lord Provost of Aberdeen - Lord Provost George Adam; the First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond MSP; Charles Hendry MP, Minister of State for Energy, DECC; Keith Anderson, Chief Corporate Officer, ScottishPower; David Gartside, Board Member, Health and Safety Executive; and three five-minute quick-fire presentations from Gamesa, The Crown Estate, and ITM Power.
"Showcasing the complete range of renewable and sustainable technologies and with a world-class multi-stream conference alongside, All-Energy 2012 once again provided the ideal opportunity for seeing, and hearing about, the latest cutting edge solutions," says Event Director, Jonathan Heastie of Reed Exhibitions. "This key annual event in the renewables calendar provides a meeting place for the men and women behind these solutions; and acts as a catalyst for those eager to source new partners and suppliers. Our major exhibition, conference and seminar programmes, associated meetings, and unparalleled networking opportunities, including the Giant Networking Evening attended by over a thousand, all play invaluable roles.
"Visitors appreciate the fact that attendance at all elements of All-Energy – major exhibitions, world-class conference; seminars; and Giant Networking Evening is entirely free of charge to all with a business/professional interest in renewable energy."
New 2012 features New features for 2012, the first show under Reed Exhibitions' ownership, included sector-specific visitor trails that helped visitors plan their visit making best use of their time (and exhibitors know that they would be meeting people really interested in what they were showcasing); and three new sections within the show, two – Offshore Maintenance, and Smart Energy – on the showfloor complete with on-floor seminar theatres; and one outside.
Offshore Maintenance 2012 – where offshore wind meets oil and gas offshore expertise drew on the synergies between the offshore oil and gas industry which plays such a key role in the Aberdeen economy and the rapidly developing needs of the offshore wind sector. Smart Energy provided the All-Energy take on energy efficiency and management; and microgeneration and onsite renewables.
The third new section was the Low Carbon Vehicle Zone featuring 'Ride & Drive'. Here some of the latest electric and hydrogen vehicles could be closely inspected, and some put through their paces. ITM Power played a key role in the Ride & Drive area with the UK-exhibition launch of their HFuel Here hydrogen refuelling system and Hyundai fuel cell cars, one of which was put to the test by Scotland's First Minister.
"We foresee all three areas growing for All-Energy 2013," says Jonathan Heastie."We were delighted too to attract one additional feature. For an afternoon All-Energy hosted the UK offshore wind supply chain event organised by The Crown Estate, Scottish Government, Scottish Enterprise and Highlands and Islands Enterprise, in addition to a full calendar of associated events both before and during the show.
"It is highly gratifying that during the show in excess of a thousand square metres was reserved by existing exhibitors for All-Energy 2013 – with many more space reservations being made since the show closed last week. That, and feedback from our exhibitors, speakers and visitors speaks volumes about the climate we create in which business can be done."
Exhibitor feedback He goes on to add: "A quote from Christian Meyer of Enercon sums things up well, he said: 'For us, All-Energy is the most important show in the UK, and the All-Energy mix is particularly good. Here we can meet a lot of potential and existing customers; it's important to meet them face-to-face. All-Energy is a great platform for this opportunity - this is where we sell turbines. Scotland and NE England are very good areas for us, in terms of increasing our turbine sales. Most of our turbines are installed in Scotland', and Deborah Smith of Pelamis Wave Power says quite simply: 'All-Energy is the one show we exhibit at every year'. "
Reading post-show newspaper reports it was good to see David Rodger, spokesman for the proposed European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre, a partnership between Vattenfall Wind Power UK, Technip and Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG) quoted as saying: 'Aberdeen has become a window to the world for renewables', adding that the last three years had seen increasingly overseas participation, with visitors from Europe as well as Japan and Korea. And, Morag McCorkindale, AREG's Chief Operating Officer quoted as saying: 'The show has been growing year on year and it is quite amazing how much it's still growing. One of the big areas is overseas visitors, which is great for Aberdeen because it shows how well we are establishing ourselves in the international market', which her colleague Iain Todd, AREG's Renewables Champion, commented on how much 'hard kit' there was now on show.
"Safety is an important element, which is why we invited David Gartside of HSE to address the opening session audience, and so it is rewarding to have received a comment from Greig Duncan of Falck Nutec on this key aspect: 'We were delighted with the response that we received at this year's conference. The feedback we received echoed the positivity and enthusiasm surrounding the renewable energy market in the UK. The market as a whole is remaining switched on to health & safety in renewables, in particular offshore wind, this is a trend which is set to continue in future months and years.'"
"We have a raft of similar comments from exhibitors, visitors and speakers and look forward to All-Energy 2013 (22-23 May) which we know will not only meet, but surpass their expectations. Space bookings are now being taken, and a Call for Papers will be published in the early Autumn, and be available on our website – www.all-energy.co.uk ENDS Notes to editors:

im on the liquid methadone thats like a cherry cough syrup. is it possible to shoot it straight or do you have to mess with it at all. my friend is convinced you dont have to do anything but i think it would be pretty dangerous, any advice?
im on the liquid methadone thats like a cherry cough syrup. is it possible to shoot it straight or do you have to mess with it at all. my friend is convinced you dont have to do anything but i think it would be pretty dangerous, any advice?
You do not have to do anything at all but it is a waste if you inject it and IS dangerous, especially for the long term.
First, oral preparations of methadone should always be consumed as is. The substance has an incredibly high oral bioavailability.
Secondly, the chery red gels up and is very hard on the veins. Easy to abcess and /or collapse your veins.
Third, methadone offers no euphira whatsoever and absolutely no rush (a rush can be had with the injectable amps for some reason but they are practically nonexistent outside of the UK).
so, why waste what could be a good thing?
Shooting the cherry red liquid is a great idea if you really want to wind up in a world up hurt. Aside from there being no 'advantage' (see post above) to IV methadone the liquid most likely has a very high sugar content (if my memory serves me correct) and a shot of sugar straight to dome has the potential to be fatal. Your blood sugar will soar through the roof and that is a very bad thing. Swim (seriously) tried this one time convinced it would be 'great' and booted his normal dose. Swim used 3 3ml syringes and pushed all of them in succession before he untied. Swim almost died in front of me. Very scary. Please for the love of what ever deity you worship DO NOT SHOOT THE LIQUID. If you really need to shoot something take your dose orally and push off some distilled/clean water. Go through the ritual but just don't use anything other than water. Looks kind of weird cooking up just water and then injecting but you would be surprised at how much the whole ritual plays into the equation. Some folks just like getting stuck...I know I do.
Isn't it yet visible or self-evident thing that cherry syrup would be very bad idea to shoot?
Yeah, but u know how it is... Usually it starts with a rumor, or a joke, or just the fact that some people lie repreatedly. And somebody will hear about it... "Hey, I heard u could shoot up liquid methadone..." and then that too gets passed around...
But I'm glad they ask on here. It may seem obvious and stupid, but I guarantee you, somebody somewhere is doing it, and better to ask, and feel a little bit foolish, than to put some new horror in one's veins...
and thats exactly why i did ask knowing it seems odd but i have been told that it been done, not necessarily with the methadone but with the cherry flavored codeine syrup, so uthink it would have the same results.
I figured that, and that's why I posted what I did. Sometimes we can come off as a little harsh here, but it's much better to ask a question like that, and I guarantee you that there were people on here wondering that, just afraid to ask, so you performed a service, maybe somebody will avoid tearing up their veins, or worse, because you asked... I know when I first signed on here, I started some thread telling people how to shoot up percocets and other crap, and got kind of put in my place, and my feelings hurt, but then I realized that the people on here just wanted to protect people from the idiocy that I was suggesting...and just because I had survived a lot of buffer induction, didn't mean the next guy would, so I learned this site was a good and useful place...and I hung in there, and learned not to post stuff that might harm somebody...
and btw, I wanted to be sure and to tell you welcome, and glad you have joined opiophile...we can be a little cranky at times, but it's a good and useful sight, most of the time...
Best wishes...
thank you, i apreciate your explanations, i have have found this site very very resourceful in the past few days since i found it
I thought I'd put in my two cents. I've been on the liquid cherry-flavored methadone for two years now, and I'm currently on 35mg daily. And for about the last 8 months I've been IVing every "take-home" dose they've given me. I have just recently discovered that my blood pressure is through the fuckin' roof! It's supposed to be like 110 over 70 or 120 over 80, but mine is 180 over 118 which the nurse said was in stroke territory. So, needless to say, I would strongly reccomend AGAINST shooting your methadone. But, for the sake of sharing information I'll go into my methods.
First, I never cooked it or filtered it or anything like that. The only thing I did do was dilute it with a little water. (2 parts methadone to 1 part water) I would first draw up about 40-50 units of methadone into my 1cc syringe. This takes a while because of how thick the liquid mixture is, so be patient. Then, I'd draw up about 20-25 units of water. I do this mainly because it's easier to boot into the veins. It's really hard to push out when it hasn't been diluted. This method would give me about 6-8 shots each Sunday. I'll state for the record that I've never gotten a rush or a buzz from this. It always gives me a tease of a rush, like the feeling that it's on its way but never arrives, but this is probably all psycosomatic anyway. I have tried doing several of these shots in a row to see if it would increase the effects, but it only made me feel sick, extremely tired, and noxious.
So, my advice is don't shoot your methadone in case it's related to my high blood pressure thing. It's possible that the thick sugary syrup has started to collect in my heart/arteries/veins and has coagulated or something and that is why my BP is up, but I'm no doctor so I couldn't tell you for sure. All I can say is that if you insist on doing this, always use clean, sharp needles and rotate the injection sites often.
My fixation is obviously on the ritualistic act of injecting opiates into my veins and it's something I'm still trying to deal with. I hope I can find other ways to fill this craving which aren't so bad for my health, and I hope the same for you.
"Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?" - Trainspotting
By injecting syrupy sweet methadone you're inducing hyperglycemia and causing your pancreas to work overtime to produce enough insulin to control your blood sugar. I know someone who induced diabetes in himself from using lemon juice to break down crack to shoot - the high sugar content from the lemons caused his pancreas to give it up; he's now diabetic for life, I think he was maybe 21 at the time.
Shooting up sugar/glucose/fructose/whatever is a really bad idea.

"It is no measure of health, to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society"
pwn the dominant paradigm
Ein: As Duck said, in other words but just the same: ALWAYS ASK. Like they say in America, "The only stupid question is the one not asked." The idea is HR (Harm Reduction). Actually, alot of people do inject it but it is a waste and dangerous as noted.
I alwasy think why the maanufactures put some dangerous things in syrup for example. I mean when each could know that it would be injected anyway.
They could make it so, that it is just about impossible to shoot; not as it is, that it is dangerous but possible to shoot.
But as its said it is always good to ask...
Shooting methadone in pill and liquid form caused a friend of mine to go into cardiac arrest.
Not a good idea.
I have never heard of anyone becoming diabetic from shooting lemon juice. A few years ago, I shot a whole squeeze lemon over the course of a month of two. Then everyone told me vineger was safer than lemon juice, so i used vinegar, and when all my veins disapeared everyone was like "oh, that's from the vinegar".
Lemon juice is used because it is an acid that effects the pH in a positive way but only for a VERY SHROT time and will not cause lasting effects.
Why are you consu
Duck: "Getting put in your place for a How To on pill injection"...I think that censoring that information is insane. HR, while not the primary focus of this site, should be in the forefront of all long term users' minds.

Govt officer faces CIAA corruption charge
Former DFO in dock
KATHMANDU, MAR 25 - The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority on Sunday filed a corruption case at the Special Court against Ramesh Kumar Shrestha, executive director of Trade and Export Promotion Center, on the charge of embezzling around Rs 10 million.
A probe carried out by the anti-graft body has concluded that Shrestha drew some Rs 4.4 million from state coffers against the approval of the Ministry of Commerce and Supply. The ministry had okayed Rs 126,000 for his foreign junket.
Similarly, investigation concluded Shrestha had approved Rs 2,600,000 for the promotion of 10th SAARC Trade Fair held in 2010, but later gave half of the total allocated budget to one of the private media houses without formal bidding process and gobbled up the remaining money. The charge sheet has sought Rs 9.8 million as fine, similar amount of money for the loss of state property and two-year jail term.
Former DFO in dock
A case has been filed against eight forest officials including the then Sankhusabha District Forest Officer Ganesh Bahadur Karki on the charge of promoting deforestation. They have been accused of amassing Rs 7.5 million by denuding forests in the district.
With the anti-graft body's court move, Karki has been suspended from the post. The remaining accused forest officials include Assistant Forest Officers Nemadhari Yadav (retired), Bindilal Chaudhari, Basu Dev P Mandal, Gangrama Mandal, Rama adhar Singh and Foresters Milan Katuwan and Pradip Baskota.

A Day of Feeding
When an ice storm hits the ranch, the usual winter feeding takes on more importance. It's best for the livestock on the ranch to have full bellies when a winter storm hits, so when we know a storm is imminent we make sure to adequately feed each pasture of animals. That way, on the day the storm arrives—when the ice and snow is pummeling the earth—the animals can stay in whatever naturally sheltered place they've found to hunker down until it's over. Then, when the storm is finally over, we get right back out and start feeding again.
This is the way of things on the ranch during the cold winter months.
Yesterday was the first feeding day following the storm. Each cowboy on the ranch has his own set of pastures to feed, known as their "Feed Route."
Marlboro Man's feed route begins with this pasture of 292 mares.
The horses, by now, are very glad to see us.
And, and wait. I misspoke. Marlboro Man's feed route actually begins with a pasture of 45 mares. But I didn't join him for that pasture, so it pretty much didn't really happen.
"If something happens and I don't blog about it…did it really happen at all?"
I love feeding this large pasture of horses; there are so many different colors…
And religious affiliations. This sweet girl, for example, is Episcopalian.
As usual, we had the best help in three states—our two girls, who could feed the entire ranch by themselves if Marlboro Man suddenly contracted a debilitating flu or got a splinter or something.
Speaking of splinters, they're my oldest girl's biggest fear—I kid you not. Isn't that a funny phobia?
Mmmph…harumph…mmmrrrmmmph… What you hear are the sounds of 292 very happy horses.
This pasture's only water source is a large pond, which had a thick layer of ice on the top. So we had to chop a large, rectangular hole in the surface so the horses would have adequate hydration.
And as usual, I use the term "we" very, very loosely here.
The next pasture we needed to feed was to the south; it holds 236 mares.
This pasture happens to be the home of my favorite mustang on the entire ranch. She's so beautiful; I love her coloring. I don't even know what you'd call this color—it's a golden gray taupe olive.
Whatever it is, I'd love to have a sofa in that color…or maybe a turtleneck, but it couldn't be too tight around the middle because I hate that sausagey feeling.
My midsection is my problem area.
This pasture is different than the one before; it has a creek with running water. No chopping ice in this pasture.
It's a good thing, too, because my pecs were killing me.
Or was it my glutes?
Next pasture was small—only 28 horses—but no running creek.
And you know what that means:
Marlboro Man. Chopping Ice. Hallelujah.
I just love pastures with no running creek.
I just love quick-time harch. (Name that movie.)
After this, it was back to our house, where we fed this pasture of 78 pairs.
Pop Quiz: If 78 pairs are in a pasture, how many total cattle are in the pasture?
I'm just here to challenge you intellectually.
Speaking of pairs…
Calves, I've decided, are the most adorable creatures in the world. Good gracious.
After we fed this pasture, I cried and complained until Marlboro Man dropped me off at the house. I had coffee to drink, after all, and okay…a little laundry to tend to. He went on to feed the two remaining pastures of 175 and 192 without my close supervision.
But don't worry—I followed up on the job he did to make sure he did it right.
That's why I was brought to this ranch in the first place: Quality Control.

I am such a city slicker. I was wondering how you decide on what horses go into what pasture? Is it the size of the pasture for the amount of horses? Just wondering. Thanks for all the great photos! I just love the horses!
Julie On Thursday, January 29 at 10:01 am
Quality Control: a thankless job, but somebody's gotta do it.

Goodness that man has a really nice back….
Becky from Canada On Thursday, January 29 at 10:01 am
Beautiful photos and I do enjoy looking at MM's butt (sorry), I too am doing laundry and I'm cooking an apple crisp made with Splenda and Portobello spaghetti for supper with Italian sausage cooked in the sauce. I love having a day off work!!
Katie On Thursday, January 29 at 10:02 am
fabulous pictures as always… and as always they make me so jealous!!!! We only wish we were living on a ranch.
The horses are just gorgeous.
Nisa On Thursday, January 29 at 10:03 am
Great photos…so much work. My sister-in-law works on a cattle ranch in Eastern Washington and we saw how much she has to do in the cold weather, too.
I believe the answer is 156 cattle. Thanks for the challenge!
When I was about 5 years old I got a splinter when I was outside helping my dad. I freaked out. I was upset and asked him questions like "am I going to be ok?" , etc. He told me I had better run into my mom because I just received a splinter from the dangerous, tetzsi (sp?) shrub. He went on and on until I went screaming into the house. I understand your daughters fear!
Susan's Snippets On Thursday, January 29 at 10:04 am
Nice to see how you ALL help out on the ranch…and the pics of MM aren't too shabby either.
i need a breather
Kristin On Thursday, January 29 at 10:04 am
I believe your favorite mustang is a "grullo" (grew-yo), which results when a black horse mates with a dun (or buckskin) and the black is muted by the dun coloring. Your mustang has the odd mouse-colored coat, dorsal stripe, and dark face mask and legs typical of the grullo.
Deb Mc On Thursday, January 29 at 10:04 am
Interesting, informative and entertaining!
Snagged the horse pics for my screensaver file of your work – never before realised how much beauty is around us if we only take time to look (and I'm not talking only about MM:)
Teri On Thursday, January 29 at 10:05 am
Grulla, the color is grulla……someone probably already said that:)
Sue S On Thursday, January 29 at 10:06 am
I love your horses and I'm glad they have you to supervise.
chocolatechic On Thursday, January 29 at 10:06 am
Your favorite horse's color is called buckskin….I think.
78 x 2 =…..do I have to think this early?
Lydia On Thursday, January 29 at 10:07 am
OK, I am listening to Rachmaninoff — and looking at your photos instead of working (well, I am making copies). You can't believe how much drama and romance that concerto #2 adds to your blog. Wow! Now, your blog CERTAINLY stands on its own, but ya' know, a good sound track always helps. ha!
Traci Best On Thursday, January 29 at 10:07 am
Gratuitous hiney shot!
I want to live in the country! How many of us can you squeeze in the barn? Or the dog closet? LOL.

thanks for the lovely photos!

Jill On Thursday, January 29 at 10:08 am
My students want to know how many stallions and bulls you need around there. By the way, great pic of MM. Makes me want to see if there are any frozen ponds around here for my hubby to chop. LOL
Eli On Thursday, January 29 at 10:08 am
Hi, your favorite mustang seems to be a dun of some kind. I guess its a chestnut dun…doesn´t really look like a grullo (what would be a 'black' dun or as we call it in Germany a 'mouse dun')
Does she look like this: http://eliwagar.com/islandpferde-roetgen/wp-content/simpleviewer/dagur/Dagur_03.jpg ?
Or more like this: http://www.isi-shop.de/lukur-070206.jpg ?
And: HOW MANY horses do you have in total????
Miss Kate On Thursday, January 29 at 10:08 am
I've been wondering – along with other comments above – what purpose the horses serve (aside from working cattle). Some of them are wild, correct?
I also love calves. My grandparents had cattle on their farm, and I used to love the calves and how their tongues feel like sandpaper. Fun to watch at the salt lick.
(Also, when I finally figured out that the cattle were NOT dairy cattle? Lo, the trauma! Oh, the trauma! They were like my pets. I still have to do a mental image block every time I eat beef. Which is often.)
Liz On Thursday, January 29 at 10:09 am
Is it safe to walk on frozen ponds in cowboy boots? Shouldn't some sort of traction be necessary? I would slip and break a hip, or knee or elbow, or the ice, for that matter.
Susie On Thursday, January 29 at 10:09 am
The horse pictures are so pretty. I like that one pic where they are all standing in horse shoe formation eating.
Debbie On Thursday, January 29 at 10:09 am
love to see ya'll working on the ranch…great pictures and fun blog and educational too. Made your ranch style chicken last night, its a big hit!!
Nicoleigh On Thursday, January 29 at 10:10 am
The joys of the country life. But I do have a question. What do you do with the hundreds of horses that you guys have? Are they all mustangs? Or do you also have some Quarter, Palomino, etc?
Megan On Thursday, January 29 at 10:10 am
oh wow those horses are beautiful!!! What a great morning for you all!! I wish I could be there in my wheelchair chopping ice!!!
Remudamom On Thursday, January 29 at 10:10 am
Looks like a grulla to me.
Wendy On Thursday, January 29 at 10:10 am
WOW- I can see why she's your favorite color- she is absolutely breath taking! Grulla is the color? Never heard of it… but I like it.
I could spend hours on your blog- and have a few days when I've lost my mind and left the kids to their own devices- now I have to set a timer when I'm getting on the internet- so I can actually still get those nagging inconsequential things done- like laundry, cooking, cleaning, and oh yeah, homeschooling my 3 kids. Thanks for being my coffee break- for your awesome pictures and witty writing, and all the laughs.
And since I'm a good Christian lady, I will refrain from commenting on those pics of chaps- whew! I don't know how you stand it…..
Keep up the good work-

Sarah S. On Thursday, January 29 at 10:12 am
The mare is a grulla. I love her dorsal stripe. It's pretty. I love that color too. You don't see many of them.
I love all the different colors and looks of all the horses you have. They all come in different packages
DEBBIE On Thursday, January 29 at 10:13 am
I have a crazy question……In one of the photos, the horses look like they are in a semi-circle….How'd that happen? Is that how ya'll laid the feed?
Jan On Thursday, January 29 at 10:13 am
Beautiful pictures, Ree- thanks!
Just wondering- why so many horses? You can't possibly need so many to work your cows. You must breed to sell?
Just wondering. Have a great day.
Krystina On Thursday, January 29 at 10:14 am
Love the pictures! We only have smaller plots of land around here, I'd love to see what its like to work a larger ranch!
That mare is a Grulla. We have one at our barn right now too and she is an absolute doll.
I hope your keeping warm! Atleast the sun was shining for you!
carson On Thursday, January 29 at 10:14 am
The mares are looking great despite your rotten weather – not a scrawny one in sight. All horses should be so lucky as to have MM and the girls in charge of their feeding.
Have your girls discovered duct tape for splinter removal? Works great on cactus spine removal, too.
Melody C. On Thursday, January 29 at 10:14 am
Thanks for sharing your day with us. I think I'd take your sunny cold day over my gray, rainy 40 degree day. Something about sunshine just perks me up!
Kori On Thursday, January 29 at 10:15 am
Ree I just adore your blog.
But I have a question. I know that the cows serve a purpose at the ranch. But what about the Horses? What exactly are they for?
Julie On Thursday, January 29 at 10:15 am
Love the pics!!! What a variety. Beautiful horses, cute cows/calves, and some human eye candy.

What an amazingly different life you live there…we are starting to build our home on an acerage now and will be leaving the life of leisure here in Whistler. I only plan on one horse, a donkey and some chickens though…we will back on to a huge ranch and can admire their cattle! Sharing a quiche recipe today…

Melissa On Thursday, January 29 at 10:21 am
MM wasn't wearing a coat and I KNOW how cold it is there in the winter… so that means he is of the super tough cowboy variety!
DoodleBunz/DB Impressions On Thursday, January 29 at 10:21 am
Yep, as others have said, Grulla is the color of that awesome critter. I'll take care of a few if you'll bring them out here….color doesn't matter, they just have to be the more curious of the bunch.
Shelle On Thursday, January 29 at 10:22 am
I have an idea!!! I know, pretty scary, but I think it will be great!
You should hold a Photography conference. Where we come to your Ranch and practice taking pictures. Mostly we would hang out and I could stare at the beautiful Mustangs…and we could all laugh and swap first kiss stories…after we walked around shooting our cameras! Wouldn't the guys and gals of the Ranch love that! lol!
Anyway…those are beautiful as always!
April On Thursday, January 29 at 10:23 am
My daughter is deathly afraid of splinters as well. It's kinda funny. When she gets a splinter she just gets sooo upset, and she won't let you touch her. She's almost 11. When my 7 year old son gets a splinter he wants it out immediately because it gets in the way of being able to play without being irritated.
Jami McClelland On Thursday, January 29 at 10:23 am
Hi Ree!
Your favorite mare's color is called Grulla.
The movie is History of the World
and that's 156 cow/calves in 78 pairs.

Catlin Humes On Thursday, January 29 at 10:24 am
I cannot get over how beautiful those horses are. You are so lucky!
Christy On Thursday, January 29 at 10:25 am
Hey PW, your favorite horse color is a black dun, known as a grulla. Not that common in the horse color world. There are duns and red duns. The dorsal strip down their back is what makes them duns. Why, I don't know. But if there is no dorsal stripe, then the color is a buckskin if its yellow body hair with black legs, main and tail; or red roan, dark red legs and head with a body of lighter red with white hairs; or blue roan if the legs and head are dark and the body is lighter black with white hairs.
Betsy On Thursday, January 29 at 10:25 am

That'll be 156 head. To anwser your pairs ? We start calving in 4 weeks.
cursingmama On Thursday, January 29 at 10:27 am
Quickly because I am soon leaving for a little girl time:
1.) I have a reaction similar to your ice chipping issues when Mr.Motorcycle uses the weed whacker thing. All summer I complain that the yard needs to be trimmed.
2.) I bet knowing that your girls can take over at a moments notice is what lets you sleep at night – because if you had to do it….ummm…you could….but……wouldn't someone else rather…..ummm, you know…..

BTW…calves are cute and all but baby llamas are seriously the cutest creatures on earth…truly they are!

156 and in Australia we would call that colour 'dun'.

Michelle On Thursday, January 29 at 10:37 am
Your favorite mare's coloring is called Grulla. It's a more rare color type and are very pretty to view.
I understand all too well what the ice storm was like for you. Up here in ND, we run 300 cow/calf pairs that we work on horseback and the snow and ice really make things…interesting to ensure every animal is well cared for.

I just had a close encounter with the ice here in Maryland. I never saw this in Mexico hehe. I am just afraid of my first fall, not happened yet!!
Allie On Thursday, January 29 at 10:40 am
Lovely photographs…although I do have to say that I love the one best with MM chopping the ice. The horses were cute though. The man chopping ice was better! Wish it were mine…I think my man looks great with an axe/sledge/and big tool.

Vicky On Thursday, January 29 at 10:42 am
Are all of those horses yours? I know you have mentioned wild horses that live on your land, but I wasn't sure if you own any horses besides the ones you use.
Kelly in Canada, eh? On Thursday, January 29 at 10:42 am
Please excuse the CGI ( City Girl Ignorance ) but how the heck do you keep all those horses ( and cows ) from just runnin' off? And why do you have so many horses? Don't get me wrong. They're beautiful and I envy you being able to go out and see them and feed them and admire them. I just didn't realize you had so many.
Lori On Thursday, January 29 at 10:43 am
Oh PeeDub, you're a woman after my own heart. Anyone who quotes "History of the World – Part I" is super duper in my eyes!!
Becky K in Kansas On Thursday, January 29 at 10:43 am
First…..ever see the movie "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"? There's a line in that movie about "Ruprecht"(Michael Caine's 'retarded' brother who is played by Steve Martin). Michael Caine tells a woman from Oklahoma that Ruprecht will love Oklahoma's wide open spaces…."he loves to run and run and run!!!" And then Steve Martin grabs a pan and beats it with a wooden spoon, shouting, "Oklahoma, Oklahoma, Oklahoma!!!!" Well…..(if you haven't seen the movie, you are rolling your eyes right now or something)….this movie line is what I always think of when I look at the beautiful pictures of the wide open spaces, the beautiful pastures, and the animals.
Second…speaking of splinters…earlier this week, my nephew, who is 8(and a funny, naughty little monkey-punk in his own right!)was walking on the old wooden floor that was exposed as my brother was laying down new flooring in their old farm-house. He got a 9-inch large splinter in his foot, lengthwise from the ball of his foot to the heel…..OUCH!!!!!
My sister-in-law is a wonderful pioneer woman in her own right. She is leaving today to adopt a little girl with Down Syndrome from India. Anyone who reads this, please pray for her safety and the adjustment of this precious little one to their family! Her blog is gallagherfarm.com

Jenn On Thursday, January 29 at 10:49 am
Your fav mustang is called a Roan. I'm not sure which roan she is, I'm not good with all the roan colors. But she is beautiful to look at.
Brenda On Thursday, January 29 at 10:50 am
I totally understand why you like pastures without running creeks. Very nice.
MM on the other hand probably prefers the creeks.
What a lovely place you have. Gorgeous.
Traveldoc On Thursday, January 29 at 10:50 am
The reason you were brought to the ranch had nothing to do with quality control. More to do with lack of control.
Jennie On Thursday, January 29 at 10:51 am
I loved seeing the horses eating in horseshoe formation, but what about the ones in the middle? Are they on a diet or something, the poor girls?
Betty-Ann On Thursday, January 29 at 10:51 am
Splinters I totally get it. Our 7 year old boy has a HUGE fear of them too. I always have to let "Dad" handle taking those out. So squirmy and VOCAL!

Is the Market too Crowded for webOS to be Successful?
Let's start off by remembering that the smartphone market is still relatively early. Even though it is one of the hottest topics around, smartphones as a whole still only represent less than 30% of the total global mobile phone market. That being said the smart phone market grew 75% last quarter alone and is expected to grow at that pace each quarter for the next few years.
Right now RIM, Apple and their iOS and a host of Android vendors dominate the smart phone sector. Windows Phone 7 is on the far fringe of this market and HP's webOS devices still farther yet. So the real question is in a market dominated right now by three companies is there room for more? The short answer is yes and here is why.

Main News Page
Thursday, November 11, 2010
An independent federal review board has upheld 18 citations and an $871,500 fine against a Missouri bridge painting contractor in the deaths of two workers killed weeks apart at the same worksite.
The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, an independent agency, affirmed a total of six serious violations, 12 willful violations and the fine against Thomas Industrial Coatings Inc. of Pevely, MO, just south of St. Louis, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration said in a statement Tuesday (Nov. 9).
OSHA had issued the citations and fines against the company in 2006 after two of the company's employees fell 35-40 feet from the same scaffold platform, on the same worksite, within two months of each other.
Those two deaths followed a third one earlier that year, in which an employee fell from a scaffold near St. Louis and drowned in the Missouri River.
Owner Responds
Company owner Don Thomas disputed the OSHA announcement in an interview Thursday (Nov. 11).
"The review commission has not even received our appeal yet, so there is no way that the commission ruled on anything," Thomas said. He said the appeal was not due until Friday (Nov. 12), when his company would file it.
Thomas did say that he had received a letter from a commission Administrative Law Judge about a week ago, advising him of the $871,500 fine and 18 citations.
"But he is not the review commission," Thomas added. "We are sending in our official request for appeal tomorrow."
OSHA could not be reached for comment Thursday; the agency was closed in honor of Veterans Day.
Thomas said he did not know why OSHA would have misstated the status of the case.
"People in organizations misspeak by not knowing the facts or simply to imply their versions," he said without elaborating. "Weak people feed off negativity."
'Mixed Truth'
"It's easy for anybody to say anything when they don't have to be held accountable," Thomas said. "It's frustrating." He said some of the OSHA statement was true while the rest was "mixed truth," but he declined to discuss specifics.
Thomas vigorously defended his company's commitment to safety. "Guys have to go through 17 to 20 classes just to work here," he said. "This is what it takes to work here."
"I've spent millions of dollars defending myself because I thought I was right. This is a real company; we deal with real people's lives.
"The main true fact of this situation is that quality men died, and they did not need to."
Egregious Penalty Policy
The Review Commission is an independent federal agency established to review contested citations or penalties resulting from OSHA inspections. The commission functions as an administrative court, with established procedures for conducting hearings, receiving evidence and rendering decisions by its Administrative Law Judges (ALJs).
Of significance in the current ruling, OSHA said, was the judge's affirmation of OSHA's egregious or "violation–by–violation" penalty policy, where eight willful violations were issued to the company accounting for each employee exposed to the same fall hazard.
"We hope the penalties upheld by the review commission send a message to employers everywhere that they can't disregard vital safety measures at the expense of their workers," said Dr. David Michaels, Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA.
"We're especially pleased that the judge has affirmed our egregious case penalty policy. We hope employers will be deterred by the potentially higher fines they could face, and will address hazards before OSHA gets there and before workers get hurt."
6 Months, 3 Deaths
The new ruling settles the OSHA cases stemming from the two latter 2006 deaths, which OSHA records summarize this way:
On May 10, 2006, an employee was working from a suspended metal decked scaffold platform to paint the underside of a bridge. Using a brush tied to a short pole, he painted overhead to reach the underside of the bridge. As he was painting the bridge, the employee stepped backwards and fell through a hole in the decking of the scaffold, measuring 4 feet by 4 feet, and fell approximately 40 feet to the ground.
That case originally resulted in the issuing of 26 willful and four serious violations and a proposed fine of $1,840,800.
On July 5, 2006, an employee was removing metal decking from a scaffold platform being dismantled and suspended under a bridge. The decking piece on which he was standing was not adequately supported by the supporting cables. It shifted, and the employee fell off the scaffold to the ground, approximately 35 feet below.
Four serious and seven willful citations were initially issued in that case, with a proposed penalty of $514,500.
The citations specifically addressed what OSHA said was the employer's failure to provide workers with fall protection and/or guarding of scaffold platform openings and training in the use of fall protection. OSHA has said neither man was wearing safety equipment required by federal law.
Open Case
Still pending is the OSHA case stemming from a fatal fall on Feb. 17, 2006, when a worker was erecting a Safespan scaffolding system under a bridge. The scaffolding platform failed, dropping the employee and three coworkers, according to OSHA records.
The three coworkers were rescued from their fall protection systems, but the fourth fell into the river. His body was not recovered until April 18. That case, which remains open, resulted in two serious and one willful violation with a proposed penalty of $64,000.
"Companies that willfully and intentionally violate the Occupational Safety and Health Act will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," said Charles E. Adkins, OSHA's regional administrator in Kansas City, MO. "Employers must fulfill their responsibility to keep employees safe, or face the consequences when they fail to do so."
Earlier Record
OSHA records also show a series of now-closed cases against Thomas Industrial Coatings since the year 2000: two cases in 2002, one in 2003, four in 2005, and one in 2009. One of the 2002 cases was dismissed, and the other was settled informally, according to OSHA records. The rest were adjudicated by OHSRC.
Several cases involved falls, including one in which an employee broke his leg. Further details could not be obtained Thursday, because the agency was closed in honor of Veterans Day.
The Associated Press also reports that the company lost two other workers in falls from highway bridges in the mid-1990s. Investigators said no harnesses or life jackets were found on either man's body, and OSHA cited the company for safety violations in both deaths, AP reported.
In October, the Missouri Department of Transportation announced that it would fine Thomas Industrial Coatings up to $24,000 for failing to clear a highway work site on time as contractually required. A piece of vacuum equipment broke down as the crew worked overnight, forcing the company to do manual cleanup and delaying reopening of the highway in time for the morning rush hour.
Editor's Note: Due to erroneous statements by OSHA, parts of this article were later determined to be inaccurate. The article was corrected and clarified in full on Nov. 12, 2010.

Comment from Otis Hale, (11/12/2010, 12:48 PM)
Thomas has had entirely too many separate incidents during the last decade that has resulted in the death of employees. Every fall listed here was preventable, and should never have occurred. Sounds like a serious deficit of on-site management, and third-party inspection.
Comment from Chuck Pease, (11/12/2010, 9:29 PM)
Well there ya go. Just another case of low bidder gets the work.
No checks on safety or qualifications. Remember, owners, you are getting what you paid for.
Sad indeed. With this company's ongoing record how did they even secure the work with an EMR that should exclude them from securing any work at all?

U.S. intelligence operatives must be laughing at a lot of the media coverage they have seen this week concerning Iran's supposed downing of a top-secret U.S. reconnaissance drone. The government has disclosed few details about the RQ-170 Sentinel unmanned aerial vehicle, such as how many it owns or what kinds of missions the system can perform. Since reporters don't hold any of the relevant security clearances, their coverage is necessarily conjectural.
Precision is further impeded by the propensity of Iranian official sources to exaggerate their military's role in such incidents. It isn't likely the Iranians shot down the drone because its stealthy shape and radar-absorbent materials would normally make it invisible to air defense radars. Their claim to have jammed the signal connecting the aircraft to remote human pilots is even less plausible, since that satellite uplink is designed to minimize the likelihood of interference and the vehicle would have automatically returned to its point of origin if the command link was broken.
However, Iranian television today broadcast the first pictures of what it claims to be the downed drone, and the aircraft seems to be almost entirely intact. In fact, one of the military officials in the film can be seen sliding a delicate part in and out of its slot on the airframe, indicating virtually no damage. At first blush, it appears the Iranians really are in possession of the drone, and will be able to closely examine it for insights into how the U.S. intelligence community has been spying on their nation.
If so, this is a significant blow to America's intelligence community, one that will undoubtedly lead to prolonged investigation into why such a sensitive intelligence-gathering system literally fell into Iran's hands. However, there are multiple reasons to suspect that in the end, the Iranians will not benefit greatly from their windfall. It's obvious that Iran's military didn't shoot the drone down or disable it through electronic jamming, because if it had fallen to earth from several miles above, it would be in much worse shape than the film indicates. The most likely explanation for its loss is a technical malfunction leading to a graceful abort — graceful in the sense that the drone seems to have landed itself.
That's bad news from Iran's point of view, because it means that other such drones remain invulnerable to Iran's air defenses. The peculiar shape and special materials utilized in the drone's design preclude tracking by conventional radar, and Iran could not change that fact without many years of investment in new defensive technology. Although the basic design principles of stealthy ("low observable") aircraft are well known, no country has yet come up with an effective defensive response to their radar-absorbent and deflective features.
It isn't likely that developers of the unmanned aircraft would have incorporated the latest, greatest technology into a single-engine drone that was conceived to operate in hostile airspace. Unmanned aircraft have a long history of mishaps and they typically are not equipped with self-defense capabilities, so design tradeoffs would have been made to mitigate the danger that such an aircraft might one day fall into the hands of adversaries. Thus, whatever insights the Iranians might obtain into aircraft design from possession of an RQ-170 are not likely to be of great benefit to them, especially given their lack of the system-integration skills required to transform whatever they have learned into drones of their own.
As for the on-board sensors and information systems, Andrea Shalal-Esa and David Alexander of Reuters have reported that these systems were "highly encrypted" to protect against exploitation. Much of what mattered in the RQ-170′s payload consisted of computer code, and routine security safeguards would make it very hard for Iran or other countries to learn the secrets stored in the drone's memory. Although the drone appears to be intact from outside, its design may have incorporated self-destruct mechanisms designed to disable or erase on-board equipment and software.
Beyond that, the fact that the Sentinel has been sighted in other places than Iran periodically suggests that it was designed to accomplish a variety of missions with reconfigurable sensor packages. The kind of reconnaissance intelligence operatives would want in taking down Osama bin Laden — one mission where the drone was used previously — isn't the kind of reconnaissance that would necessarily be useful in monitoring Iran's nuclear program. So even an intact drone might not tell Iran (or Russia, or China) the full story about Sentinel's diverse missions and capabilities.
And then there is one final consideration to keep in mind in judging what benefits Iran might have obtained from the lost drone. The reason the United States develops stealthy reconnaissance drones is to spy on secretive adversaries and closed societies. You don't need such systems to find out what's going on in places like America. In fact, the theft of secrets by other means such as cyber intrusion and human espionage has been a chronic problem for U.S. officials. So whatever the insights that Iranians may glean from the RQ-170 Sentinel, the value of applying that knowledge in their ongoing war with America is likely to be modest. This is one area where the asymmetries in global security tend to favor us.

Shard restaurant evacuated after fire breaks out

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Landlording 101 for new rental property owners who are first-time landlords as a result of an inheritance, divorce, move to a new house, buying a duplex and renting out the extra unit, purchase for a family member (elderly parent or college student child), or buying a rental property house as an investment. Many of the readers are not only first-timers, but they are accidental landlords who took on the task because they inherited a property or couldn't sell their house at a decent price, so are renting it out. The book is for the millions of people who rent out single family homes and condos (not multi-unit apartment buildings), while typically balancing a day job with landlord responsibilities. The audience is novice landlords who need basic business and legal advice on renting out and managing rental properties — different from landlords who consider themselves real estate investors.
Earn rental income
The declining U.S. economy has forced many homeowners to make tough decisions about their property. If you're one of the millions of Americans affected by the credit crisis, struggling to make your mortgage payments, and are considering renting out your home to make ends meet, you'll need to learn the basics of being a landlord.
Let First-Time Landlord show you how to start your landlording business and maintain it in your spare time. Get the concise information you need to start making money with a single-family home, written for property owners with little business savvy — and even less time and patience. Learn how to rent out your property lawfully and safely with valuable information on:
. how to determine whether or not the property will turn a profit
. landlord business basics
. finding the right tenants
. preparing and signing the lease
. handling repairs
. complying with your state's rental laws
. dealing with problem tenants, and
. preparing for sale of the property.
From timely tips to true stories from successful landlords, First-Time Landlord is an indispensible book for property owners who want to rent out a single-family home without the hassle — quickly, efficiently and legally.

Motorola proposes way to end patent war with Microsoft
Google's Motorola Mobility unit has made offers to Microsoft in hopes of settling a pair of contentious patent infringement suits in which Motorola's smartphones were using Microsoft's patented ActiveSync software, while Microsoft's Xbox 360 was using Motorola's patented video compression system.
According to Bloomberg, Motorola offered to pay 33 cents to Microsoft for every smartphone it ships with ActiveSync software in order to avoid an import ban from the International Trade Commission.ActiveSync was developed by Microsoft to push e-mail and other notifications to smartphones, and in 2010 Microsoft sued the phone company (then unaffiliated with Google) for infringement. At the time Microsoft specifically accused the Droid 2 and the Charm of infringing patents.
Motorola has also offered an olive branch of sorts to Microsoft, lowering its demands for licensing fees on the proprietary video compression software found in Microsoft's Xbox 360 to 50 cents per unit that uses the software.
