Christine Muenier graciously offered participation in the Equus Education Blog Hop. She wants to know how my book The Cowgirl Jumped Over the Moon relates to Equine Education. It does in a roundabout way. For those who are unfamiliar with the nuances of the show jumping world and what goes into the training of top riders it is totally educational. Readers have told me that they had no idea how demanding the discipline is and that top riders are fine- tuned athletes.
What is your horse related career?
My first articles were published in Horse Illustrated and Equus Magazines. I was in my late 30's when I was finally able to buy a horse and afford training. I was told that I would fall, but I was not told how to fall. I interviewed a vaulting champion, a gymnast, and an orthopedic surgeon to create a safe way to meet that eventual parting from the saddle. The result of this research is a piece titled "The Art of Falling." It has helped many a mature rider stay out of trouble. My interview of the legendary trainer Jimmy Williams appeared in Equus. He was the inspiration for the character Billy in my story. Presently, I am adventure travel writer with a penchant for horse treks. I educate others on where to go and what to expect when they get there.
Where in the world can we find you?
I live in Topanga Canyon an artistic enclave in Los Angeles. The Cowgirl Jumped over the Moon opens in Hidden Valley home to celebrities and those who can afford the sport of kings.
Is your horse career able to be carried out in part online?
I share my articles about riding adventures I've taken on my website Linda Ballou Author. and in e-zines like Real Travel Adventures. My horse trek in Ecuador with Sally Vergette, owner of Ride Andes, fulfilled all my riding fantasies.
|Hacienda trek in the Andes of Ecuador
I have enjoyed guest ranches in Colorado, Arizona, California, and Montana that I share them with readers in my articles. Almost all of my book marketing is done online. Cowgirl has a dedicated page on my site where you can purchase a signed copy and receive free shipping and is available on Amazon.com.

Do you need qualification to do your job?
Well, yes. You have to be a good writer and to love what you do
What is the best thing about your job?
It opens doors for me I'd never dreamed of. I am off to an Equestrian Wellness Week in St. Croix in September. I was invited by Sharon North Pohl, owner of Zealoushorses.com, to test drive this week of relaxation that will include riding in the surf and in the mountains, sailing on turquoise waters and doing a little yoga on the beach. She is offering this week on her site that includes horse aids and information for riders of all stripes, including a couple of my horse adventure stories. This is my bonus for writing The Cowgirl Jumped over the Moon. Yeehaw!

Corruption in government, atrocious poll ratings, are we nearing the end for Mr Normal?
President Hollande has just been through a catastrophic few weeks
It has been a catastrophic few weeks for French politics and François Hollande is, to put it lightly, un peu en colère.
Not only has the nation been rocked by one of the worst fiscal scandals in years, but the President's approval ratings have reached an all-time low of 27 per cent.
Even foreign policy suffered a blow after it emerged that the camel Hollande received as a gift for liberating Mali had been cooked and eaten.
The same could be said of Hollande's manifesto - now he must all but abandon his key policies in favour of a war on corruption in politics.
But if the President, who is now less popular than National Front leader Marine LePen, believes that a bid to stamp out tax dodging in government will win him back public favour, it seems he is mistaken.
Countless French voters have taken to social networking sites to accuse Hollande of using his reforms as a smoke screen, to divert attention from an ailing economy, surging unemployment and the ever-present national debt.
If today's poll ratings are anything to go by, the man who billed himself as "Mr Normal" would be trounced in an election by ex-rival Nicolas Sarkozy, who is enjoying a political renaissance of sorts in France with many calling for him to run again for office.
In-house job
The trouble all began with a fib from Hollande's Budget Minister Jerôme Cahuzac, which quickly spiralled into an enormous web of lies in a saga echoing that of disgraced Liberal Democrat Chris Huhne.
After French website Mediapart alleged that Cahuzac was hiding over 600,000 Euros from authorities in a secret Swiss bank account, he denied the allegations again and again.
The former plastic surgeon even denied them face-to-face with the President himself, under the eyes of his colleagues in the National Assembly.
But the facade came crashing down in March as Cahuzac admitted on his personal blog that yes, he had held a secret bank account in Switzerland and that, yes, he had lied to the public, the President and to his colleagues.
In other words the man in Hollande's government charged with fighting tax evasion was now a known tax fraudster. He is currently under investigation and could face up to five years in prison.
But what created the biggest stir among the French, from the left and from the right, was the demand for ministers to publish all their financial assets in a last gasp bid to restore the public's trust.
They did so on April 15, ironically proving a long held suspicion that a surprisingly high number of ministers are staggeringly wealthy.
Far from placating the French people, this "shock of moralization" has only further enraged voters, who accuse Hollande of ignoring the country's most pressing issues.
Blind eye
"Cahuzac is a tremendous fool and he needs to be severely punished," said one 22 year-old Parisian, "but first of all they need to deal with the employment crisis and the public debt. Hollande is wasting our time and money by pursuing these reforms when he should be facing up to much bigger and more urgent problems."
Others raised eyebrows at the fact that Hollande – who once tried to introduce a swooping 75% tax on the rich – has a Foreign Minister in his cabinet with a Paris property worth 2.75 million Euros and two holiday homes elsewhere.
Even more embarrassing for Hollande is the suspicion that he may have turned a blind eye to Cahuzac's wrongdoing, leaving the President in an extremely difficult position - at best, he will be perceived as naive and incompetent, and at worst a potential accomplice to fraud.
The outlook for France's 24th President is now bleaker than ever. He has all but lost the brief surge of public support gained in Mali while the Cahuzac affair has gravely wounded his government's credibility. Meanwhile the threat of a resurgent Nicolas Sarkozy - who vowed never to return to politics after the French ousted him from power eleven months ago - has transformed from a pipe dream into a palpable reality for the 2017 election.
The approval polls speak for themselves; the French people are nearly at their wits end with their leader. If he doesn't address their concerns - this could be the beginning of the end for Mr Normal.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Simmons weighs in regarding Jonathan Bernier's worth as well as his suitors
by George Malik on 06/23/13 at 03:01 AM ET
Comments (0)
The Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons spends a good portion of his Sunday notebook discussing the "Jonathan Bernier sweepstakes," and while you've probably heard about Bernier's suitors, Simmons offers a new perspective as to why the asking price for an unproven back-up goaltender is so very high:
There is a belief — and it starts in the front office of the Los Angeles Kings — that Bernier is a star waiting to happen, a goalie not far behind their starter, Jonathan Quick. They think that much of Bernier, and now that Luc Robitaille's close friend, Pat Brisson, is representing the goalie, they have determined to make their team stronger by trading away their backup.
The Leafs, Wild, Islanders and Flyers are all said to be interested and the price may be heavy.
The Kings have targeted young stars or budding stars in their search: Jake Gardiner from Toronto; Brayden Schenn from Philadelphia; Charlie Coyle from Minnesota.
And two questions that have to be dealt with from teams interested: Is Bernier a franchise goaltender? And if so, how much do you pay to get him?
It's unlikely the Leafs would move Gardiner for Bernier and the difficulty after that is finding the right match of young players the Kings would be interested in.
Philadelphia seems the most likely of destinations, considering the history between general managers Dean Lombardi and Paul Holmgren. But expect something done between now and next Sunday's NHL Draft.
Simmons continues with the usual assortment of sports notes, including ponderings about the NHL's future in Seattle and...Prince Fielder's compensation?

Is Ohio State's Forward Deshaun Thomas the Best Scorer in College Basketball?
There are plenty of great scorers this season in college basketball, but is Ohio State Buckeyes' Deshaun Thomas the best scorer in the nation?
Well, Thomas is not averaging the most points per game on the year, but his 20.1 points per game is good enough for 14th in the country and the most in the Big Ten Conference.
However, what makes Thomas so special is that he is scoring this many points per game against the best teams in the country and in the best conference in the country.
Whether if it is posting someone up or draining threes from behind the arc, Thomas is unstoppable in the scoring department.
Thomas scored 16 points on both Duke and Kansas, which is low for him. Duke and Kansas have consistently been ranked in the top 10 all season long.
In the first contest against Michigan, Thomas scored 20 points and he backed that up with a 17-point performance against the Wolverines in the second matchup of the season.
Thomas also scored 28 against Michigan State, 25 on Wisconsin and 26 points against the Indiana Hoosiers. May I remind you that Michigan, Michigan State and Indiana are all ranked in the top 10 right now. Wisconsin is also ranked in the top 25.
Ohio State does not have any other threats on offense, other than Thomas. You would think that would make Thomas easy to guard, since other teams could double cover him or focus a lot of their defense on him, but that has not been the case this season.
Thomas may not be averaging the most points in the country, but he is averaging a good amount against the best teams in basketball. I would like to see the other 13 players ahead of him do that.

What is COSMS? I don't know. Well that's not quite true. I do know it's being put on by Dashboard Co-op and that it includes Andre Keichian, Paper Frank, Zopi Kristjanson, Martha Whittington, Lindsey Wolkowicz, Elizabeth Riley, and more. They're 12 new artists "that are killing it in their respective fields or media," according to Dashboard's Executive Director Beth Malone. The challenge is specific to the exhibitionary space. "We have an annual exhibition to give these artists an opportunity to create a body of work that best depicts their current practice while (somehow) responding to a vacant property we place them in," Malone says. "Bodies of work can be many pieces or something singular and immersive. For COSMS, we've tried to provoke artists to create the latter."
Each piece can stand on its own. But since they're exhibited together, each piece doesn't have to. "Of course, once in a raw space the art begins to morph in response to structural idiosyncrasies, momentary boldnesses, and the work of others. COSMS is very much becoming a world unto itself." Opening Saturday at the Midtown Plaza from 7-10 p.m., with music from Warehouse and more. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door; parking is $5.
The rest of the weekend, below.
Colin Meloy - lead singer of neu folk-rockers the Decemberists - will read from and then sign copies of Wildwood Imperium (the latest in an ongoing series) along with artist/collaborator/wife Carson Ellis at Kavarna Coffee at 7 p.m. The couple has done the Decatur thing before. Tickets start at $10. The reading is hosted by Decatur's Poverty is Real to benefit the Decatur Education Foundation. Even better: Their series is good!
Susan Robert's Sketchwork is ending its nearly month-long exhibition at the Sandler Hudson Gallery. The title is almost a misnomer - Robert's pieces have the spontaneity of "conventional" sketches but little indecision. Consider the above, whose palette and image economy seem perfectly thought-upon. The exhibit also closes with an artist talk and reception from 2-5 p.m.

3354Re: [magnifiers] Which ZoomText magnification type do you prefer to use?
Expand Messages
- Oct 3, 2005When I went to college i didn 't like full screen because it wouldonly show
a section of the screen and made it difficult to use. I used line by line
mode and it sure worked for me.
Since I only have Win '98 SE I'd have to get the version of zt magnification
only. The version of ZT would have to be a version that's compatable with
Win '98 SE. While I know my windows is a dinosaur version it'll have to do
since I can't afford Win XP. Also I can't afford to upgrade my RAM right now
since Best Buy wants danged near two hundred dollars for one memory chip.
The PC 100 chips are also becomming a thing of the past. Compaq computers
are limited in what they do especially the Pressio series which is what I
use. I have a 415 Mhz Pentium processor. This is what I work with on a day
to day basis.

iPhone 5: What's the difference from the iPhone 4S?
There is a lot to like about Apple's new iPhone 5, but what if you already own an iPhone 4S? What really is the difference? We know plenty of 4S-toting iPhone fans will already be getting jealous over Apple's new hardware, so let's take a look at why.
Below is everything new about the iPhone 5 and how it separates itself out from the iPhone 4S. Read on, get jealous, want one, eBay your iPhone 4S and start saving. Or don't, but let this article help you decide. Once you have, take a look at the best iPhone 5 deals here.
The iPhone 5 has a bigger screen
It might be in your face and stating the blatantly obvious, but the new iPhone has a bigger screen. At 4 inches and with a resolution of 1136 x 640, the iPhone 5 takes a big jump over the 4S in screen size.
The 4S had a 3.5-inch display with a resolution of 960 x 640, translating to 326 ppi. The iPhone 5 has exactly the same pixel density, however, so don't expect things to look any sharper.
What does make a difference is that the screen is now in 16:9 ratio. That means no black borders when watching movies. But it does create problems when viewing apps in landscape which, without an update, will have black borders on either side instead.
An increased 44 per cent contrast and saturation level for colours in the iPhone 5 screen should make it look better. Then again, both the 4S and iPhone 5 have the same 800:1 contrast ratio.
The iPhone 5 is lighter and thinner
Everyone who has spent any hands-on time with the new iPhone 5, ourselves include, can't emphasise enough how light and thin the new phone is.
Weighing in at 112g to the 4S's 140g, it is markedly more lightweight in the hand. This also puts the phone lighter than phones such as the Galaxy S III.
The iPhone 5 is also 7.6mm deep and the iPhone 4S is 9.3mm. It might not seem like much but when you hold the two side by side, it makes a difference. Tthe whole package is just a lot more slender, despite the bigger screen.
The iPhone 5 has LTE
Here's the next big thing about the iPhone 5: it supports 4G. Until now only the new iPad has been able to connect to super-high-speed mobile networks. For the moment in the UK, it is only EE - formerly Everything Everywhere - which will be compatible with the iPhone 5's 4G capabilities, but that will change during the product's lifetime.
The iPhone 5 has a better camera on both front and back
On the face of it, it appears both the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 house the same rear camera sensor. Both sit at 8 megapixels. We suspect they may even be identical. The difference here is the technology around them.
First, the iPhone 5 has a hybrid IR filter, dynamic low-light mode and sapphire crystal cover. Couple that with the improved image processing tech in iOS 6 and things like panorama mode and the camera is improved.
On the front there is a 1.2-megapixel 720p video-capable snapper, a step up from the iPhone 4S's VGA quality one.
The iPhone 5 has a faster A6 processor
Although Apple won't go into specifics, the iPhone 5 is definitely quicker than the last iPhone 4S. Apple is touting a 2X graphics and app loading improvement.
Hands-on with the phone definitely led us to think it was snappy and demos of games such as the new Real Racing show what sort of graphics the iPhone 5 can put out.
The iPhone 5 has a better battery
Last but definitely no means least is the new iPhone's much improved battery. Despite LTE and all that extra power, you get up to 8 hours of 3G browsing time and 10 hours of video playback.
Compare this with the iPhone 4S and things match up. The difference comes in standby, which is 225 hours on the iPhone 5 and 200 on the iPhone 4S.
The iPhone 5 comes with EarPods
Apple redesigned its headphones for the iPhone 5. Now you get EarPods which are especially designed to direct music straight into your ears.
While we haven't had time to play with them properly yet, they have to sound better than the standard included headphones in Apple portables.
The iPhone 5 has a Lightning connector
Apple has ditched the 30-pin connector with the iPhone 5 and gone for a specially designed 8-pin connector called Lightning.
The connector is reversible, so you can plug things in both ways. It is also much faster and more durable.

Step 1: Clearance Sales
I was looking for a cheep replacement in sales an auctions but came up with nothing suitable.
I then went to a clearance sale at a local furniture store and found a nice looking oak unit with some damage to all the doors the price tag on it was an astonishing £1600 but since there was considerable damage to it I simply asked for a price they would be happy to let let it go for I got a response of £100 if you take it away today? I just about had the guys hand off there was more than £100 worth of oak there.!
Great find, and a cool project. There are several elements I want to borrow from this, not least of which is the built-in fan. I have an elderly white xbox 360 that needs some supplementary cooling, and your solution is simply perfect.
Your negotiation skills might make for a good Instructable: How to Get Oak Furniture for Cheap. I'd read it. :D

SpongeBob SquarePants has a bad rap. Overzealous merchandisers mis-market him as a canary-colored bath toy. Educators and many parents who in most cases have never watched the show -- vilify him. But kids (and grown-ups who dig pop culture and social satire) get the idealistic naif from Bikini Bottom. Our kids spout the wisdom of SpongeBob like their elders of a generation ago did Seinfeld. (Hey, everybody loves the sponge.)
The saffron sea creature (or at least some dude in a SpongeBob suit) will be on hand at the Arizona Exposition & State Fairs Arizona Lottery Backyard from Friday, October 30, through Sunday, November 1, which is one core reason we big kids and our little ones waited til this weekend to head down to the Fairgrounds.
Tuesdays-Sundays. Starts: Oct. 30. Continues through Nov. 5, 2009

RPG Superstar™ Deadline Looms!
1st Round Ends December 31, 2010 on paizo.com
In a little less than two weeks, the open call for Paizo Publishing's RPG Superstar contest—the largest and most successful game designer talent search in the industry—ends, and those wishing to submit an entry for consideration have until 2 pm Pacific Time on December 31, 2010 to do so.
"We're halfway through Round One and the quality of the submissions this year is better than ever," said Sean K Reynolds, Paizo game designer and Superstar judge. "To better help contestants craft their Round One items, this year we decided to publicly discuss why we rejected submissions in prior years. Our goal is to find the best and brightest new designers, and this year is shaping up to be a great one."
Paizo started accepting submissions on December 3 at paizo.com/rpgsuperstar/previous/2011, and will continue to accept submissions until 2 pm Pacific Time on December 31, 2010. The top 32 entries will then be selected and the finalists will be announced on January 18, 2011. Winning entries will be posted on paizo.com for the public to read and critique while the Top 32 designers begin work on their next task, which will be presented to the public for voting. The designers who win the most votes in each round will continue on to subsequent rounds. The ultimate winner will be paid to write one of Paizo's upcoming Pathfinder Modules, and the other top 4 designers will be paid to write scenarios for the Pathfinder Society, Paizo's worldwide organized play program for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
Specifics for each challenge will be announced as each round begins. The winner of RPG Superstar 2011 will be announced on March 22, 2011. Complete rules and a submission form are available at paizo.com/rpgsuperstar/previous/2011.

Michigan State Squeaks By In OT Thanks To Hapless Iowa Offense
Following a loss to then-No. 21 Michigan, a win on the road would be just the thing to right the ship for No. 7 Michigan State (10-2, 19-2). The hosts, No. 15 Iowa (5-3, 16-5), wanted to make a statement by firing a warning shot that the Big Ten Championship wasn't out of their grasp.
It's true that you can't win if you can't score, but the Hawkeyes took that adage to a new level Tuesday night.
The battered and bruised Spartans came out firing, launching shot after shot from beyond the arc, converting one or two and allowing Iowa to gain what little momentum it could.
However, if the Hawkeyes' effort was any indication, they wouldn't have put points on the board if they were trying to knock down pins in bumper bowling. Despite their attempts to give the game away as some odd form of charity, Iowa held a 30-26 lead at the half.
Logic suggested the Hawkeyes would settle down, find a rhythm and put away the limping Spartans. Logic was not welcome in Iowa City. Iowa didn't score a field goal in the last 9:56 of the second-half, prompting overtime and giving Michigan State the opportunity to limp across the finish line.
Keith Appling led all Spartan scorers with 16 points while Travis Trice helped his ailing teammates with 10 points off the bench. Roy Devyn Marble was Iowa's lone standout with 21 points and five rebounds on the defensive side of the floor.
The Hawkeyes will visit East Lansing later this season, but their chance at a conference title comes with the daunting task of taking down Ohio State, Michigan and Wisconsin at home along with the aforementioned trip to see a potentially much healthier Spartan squad.
Michigan State has a slightly lighter upcoming slate facing Georgetown and Penn State before traveling to clash with Wisconsin.
