Yes, you are fixing it correctly. I see you already discovered that she is dropping that inside shoulder.
Hip control, moving the hip into the lead is important, but at the same time you have to make sure that inside shoulder is up and the horse is not leaning on it.
Holding that inside rein up against that inside shoulder will give you that shoulder control
Also, a green horse will often lean on that inside shoulder, and if they do, I will first fix that before asking for the lope departure. I do this by bumping them around on a turn on the haunches in the opposite direction of the lead you want, to get them off of that inside shoulder, then set them up again for the lead departure
Hope you had a good show, as I got to this post late

Kill Big Bird? Big Bird reacts to Romney
Check out my video of Big Bird's reaction after US Presidential candidate Mitt Romney says he wants to stop subsidy to PBS, the non-profit American public broadcasting network that provides free-to-air television to around 170 million Americans with a focus on educational programming. Sesame Street is one of the shows on PBS. It receives funding from PBS but very, very little.

AMAZING!!!! Time of my life
Grand Southern (Start Los Angeles) 1 country \ 26 days
09 Aug 2012 - 03 Sep 2012 \ Contiki Grand Southern was INCREDIBLE! Can't believe how much I got to see and do in just 26 days! Vegas was sensational, the night life in New Orleans is like nothing I've ever experienced - you must go to Bourbon St! Even some of the smaller towns along the way, like Savannah, were some of the best nights on the trip! The bus trip was fun, as there were always people to chat to or games going on, or you could just sleep after the big nights out! Personally, my favourite optionals were the helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon (amazing experience!), white water rafting in Durango, the rodeo and Cowboy Stadium tour in Dallas, riverboat dinner cruise in New Orleans, Universal Studios in Orlando and the Miami party booze cruise. And of course, the people that I travelled with were incredible. By the end of the trip I had made so many amazing new friends! The people you meet and experience everything with on the trip is what makes it so great, I am really happy that I decided to go on my own too! I also highly recommend staying in New York after the Contiki, its an incredible place and there's heaps to see and do there! Everyone who is thinking about doing this tour, you definitely won't regret it!!! I had the time of my life.

Morgan Stanley Says Buy October Ethanol Contracts, Sell December
July 20 (Bloomberg) -- Morgan Stanley recommended buying October ethanol contracts while selling December as higher prices are required to encourage production amid rising corn.
"We see ethanol prices needing to move higher to keep producers motivated in light of rising corn prices," Hussein Allidina, a New York-based analyst at the bank, wrote in a July 19 report. The spread between October and December ethanol prices was 6 cents a gallon, according to the report. The bank recommends taking profit when it reaches 15 cents.

last be the house, and for which the rent asked was $350; but once more were we doomed to disappointment by finding that the "handsome dining and drawing-rooms" were two small parlors, with doors opening into each other; and that "five excellent bed-chambers" were three small rooms and two wretched attics.

At the commencement of our search that would have been quite sufficient to have deterred us from looking at it, but we could not now afford to be fastidious.

With the 1973 release of his classic debut, Sold American, singer-songwriter Kinky Friedman emerged with a fully formed, wholly unique Jewish cowboy persona—soo-ee generis, as it were. Hilariously offensive ditties like bigot-baiting "They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore" and feminist-feather-ruffling "Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed"—which earned him a police escort away from rabid protestors at one '70s campus performance—assured he'd remain on the suede fringe of the country music scene, while winning famous friends and fans the likes of Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson—and, ultimately, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
Even that bastion of outlaw country, Austin City Limits, deemed his 1974 appearance with band the Texas Jewboys the only program in its history too controversial to air (the set was issued on DVD in 2007, but remains untelevised). In the early '90s, Friedman swapped his guitar for a Smith Corona, penning a series of popular mystery novels featuring his trademark ornery humor. In recent years he's become a candidate (for governor of Texas in 2006), entrepreneur (peddling signature cigars and salsa) and philanthropist (or phil-animal-ist, proprietor of Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch). We spoke by phone Saturday morning, our free-range conversation covering music and fiction—the kind he writes, and the kind spouted by politicians.
But it began with Friedman's praise for his friend John Callahan, mere hours before news of the Portland legend's death became known.
WW: It's been 20 years or so since you've been out this way. Was it something we said?
Friedman: Well, I'm not too sure of that. There might have been some isolated gigs on the West Coast, and I might've been in Portland more recently, it seems like. Because that's where I met John Callahan, the cartoonist.
Yes, a cartoonist for this very paper!
Yeah, he is the oracle of Portland. So I think John is attempting to come, or participate in, the show, one or the other. He might sing "Proud to Be an Asshole From El Paso" with us.
You've heard his tunes too, right?
Oh, yes. Purple Winos in the Rain is one of my favorites, great CD. He's got, I think, the closest thing this side of Leonard Cohen, as far as lyrics and music coming together. Very talented; in fact, that's the curse of being multitalented. And I've got the same problem. If you're like John, if you're a cartoonist, a genius cartoonist, and you write great music, it's hard for society to understand. I wish I was good at one thing, like Leo Kottke or somebody. I'd just play guitar, and that's it. But I'm involved in too many different things. And I just say, if you fail at something long enough, you become a legend.
Have you been touring regularly, just not on this side of the country?
No, I was derailed by politics, and writing the books, and running the Rescue Ranch for animals—utopiarescue.com, for any animal lovers. Politics, especially. I think that if musicians were to run the world, we'd do a much better job than politicians. We wouldn't get a hell of a lot done in the morning, but we'd work late, and we'd be honest. We're smarter than politicians. So, how 'bout this idea: We limit them. Limit their terms. Limit them all to two terms: one in office, and one in prison.
Do you plan to run for office again?
Well, does the pope wear a humorous-looking hat? I mean, as long as Willie keeps playin', I suppose I'll keep runnin'. But being a politician is a real giant step down from being a musician. Music is a great vehicle for the truth. And politics is not so good. I define "politics" as, "poly" means many, and "ticks" are blood-sucking parasites. But you know that story of Johnny Gimble, the fiddle player? When he was 5 years old, or 6, he told his mom, "Mom, when I grow up, I'm 'onna be a musician." And she said, "Make up your mind, son, 'cause you can't do both."

Best home pod machine
Posted 25 February 2012 - 02:47 AM
Posted 25 February 2012 - 03:58 AM
Compared to other coffee pod machines, your choice of beans is much wider. In Europe, even some small artisanal roasters are creating E.S.E. pods and you can get freshly roasted pods (a few weeks) quite easily. The downside is that a good E.S.E. machine is much more expensive than a Nespresso machine (unless you buy used).

However, it seems that Senseo is losing ground in the U.S. and the brewers are not as available as they were a couple of years ago. Fortunately, I have a new, still boxed backup.
Last July I was given a Dolce Gusto Creativa which, because it produces 15 bar pump pressure, operates close to the way an espresso machine works and using the Nescafe Dolce Gusto capsules.
If you don't drink numerous cups of coffee a day, this is not much more expensive than the K-cups and to my taste, the flavor is better.
I buy the Espresso and add my own hot, frothed milk, rather than buy the Latte or Cappuccino drinks.
I also buy the Dark Roast, which I drink for regular coffee.
You can customize and enter into memory the size of the drink portions you prefer and are not limited to pre-controlled sizes as with the Keurig, which operates on much lower pressure. My best friend has a Keurig and I don't care much for any of the several varieties of K-cups she has on hand and some are rated very high. (Green Mountain and Newman's Own, etc.)
I wrote about it in another topic on this forum.

My boyfriend bought me a Lavazza Favola machine for Christmas (the chocolate brown one since you asked ) and it has worked fine for me so far. Looks cool as well, if not a bit noisy. Finding compatible pods is sometimes a little troublesome, but the coffees themselves taste great. I had been looking at a nespresso machine for a while but they were all a bit pricey and seeing as I am new to the world of coffee, we thought this would be a good starting point.

The cervical cancer jab has only become available in the last couple of years and is being given to teenage girls to prevent them developing potentially fatal cervical cancer in their 20s and 30s.
Cervical cancer does not happen because of the ageing process as many other cancers do; scientists have shown that 99% of cases are caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The cervical cancer jab works by vaccinating women against the most common cancer-causing types of HPV.
This article on the cervical cancer vaccination jab is by Kathryn Senior, a freelance journalist who writes health, medical, biological, and pharmaceutical articles for national and international journals, newsletters and web sites.
What is HPV?
HPV is a sexually-transmitted virus, also known as the wart virus, as some varieties cause genital warts. There are many different strains of HPV, not all of which are cancer-causing. Up to 75% of women who are or have been sexually active may be infected at some time in their lives. In most cases, the virus is harmless and is cleared from the system naturally. However, cancer-causing strains of the virus can lead to the growth of abnormal cells on the cervix. These pre-cancerous changes can become cancerous if not treated but can be picked up on a smear test. This makes it possible for treatment to be done very quickly to prevent the development of life-threatening cervical cancer.
Far fewer women would have to go through this, however, if they were vaccinated against the HPV virus. The cervical cancer vaccination jab could prevent a significant number of cervical cancers and could mean that many women never have to go through the worry of a positive smear test.
What types of cervical cancer jab are available?
Two different cervical cancer jabs have been developed, Cervarix and Gardasil. The cervical cancer jab that the Government has chosen for the vaccination program in school-age girls is Cervarix. Cervarix has been tested in a large clinical trial of 1,000 women aged under 26. Over 70,000 doses have been given in clinical trials, and more than a million doses have now been given in Britain alone. Cervarix is licensed in more than 90 countries; in the UK, it is licensed for the prevention of precancerous changes in the cervix in girls and women between the age of 10 and 25.
Who should have it?
The HPV vaccine is being offered as part of a national cervical cancer vaccination program to all girls in school Year 8 (aged 12 and 13). This is because research has shown that it is most effective to vaccinate girls before they become sexually active and encounter the virus. A catch-up program is also underway to provide the cervical cancer jab to older girls, up to the age of 18. Girls who are already sexually active before being vaccinated may not yet have encountered HPV, and even those who have may not have encountered the types of HPV that cause cancer. Therefore, vaccination against the most common cancer-causing types of HPV will still provide benefit.
What's involved?
Every girl actually gets three cervical cancer jabs. The first injection is administered, followed by a second 1–2 months later. The third and final injection is given 6 months after the first, to complete the course. It is important to have all three injections in order to gain protection.
What are the benefits?
Cervical cancer kills more than 1,000 women per year in the UK. It is estimated that cervical cancer vaccination through the cervical cancer jab will save approximately 400 lives a year. However, it is important to remember that there are several cancer-causing types of HPV, and the cervical cancer jab does not protect against them all. It also will not provide protection against existing HPV infection. This is why the government has no plans to change the NHS National Screening Program for cervical cancer. Just because you have had the cervical cancer jab it is still very important that you get regular cervical smear tests. These are available for women between 25 and 49, every three years and for women between 49 and 65 every five years.
What are the risks associated?
The risks of cervical cancer are well established and are far greater than any risk associated with the cervical cancer jab. However, as with any vaccination, side-effects can occur. The most common are pain, discomfort, redness or swelling at the site of the injection, headaches, tiredness, or muscle pain/weakness.
Some people may also experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or abdominal pain, rash, joint pain or fever, and very occasionally, dizziness or infection of the nose or throat. Rarely, the cervical cancer jab may cause an allergic reaction, but this is estimated to occur with only one in one million vaccinations.
Although the case of a school girl who sadly died after receiving the cervical cancer jab has been widely reported, it has since been shown that the cause of death was a malignant tumour and was not related to the cervical cancer jab.
If I have the cervical cancer jab, do I still need smear tests?
Yes. This can't be emphasised enough. Cervical cancer jab does not protect against existing HPV infection or against all of the cancer-causing types of HPV. Therefore, smear tests are still extremely important in detecting early changes in the cells of the cervix so that they can be treated before they become cancerous. All women should start their regular smear tests at the age of 25, whether or not they have had the cervical cancer jab.

Brief Synopsis
The authors define a formal strategic plan: one that contains specific strategic objectives, offers a clear and executable strategy for achieving objectives, illuminates force capability requirements, and is harmonized with the Future Years Defense Program. They discuss the reasons why a strategic plan is needed and the value it would have in coherently connecting the guidance provided by the National Command Authorities to the integrated activities of the unified commands, the Services, and other components of DoD. They conclude by examining three alternatives to improve the strategic planning processes and to facilitate efficient development of strategic plans. They settle on a set of recommendations that they believe would comprehensively link the major elements of current strategic planning, albeit modified in some cases, and establish a clearer military foundation for DoD resource decisions.

Abel Trujillo talks about being a UFC Octagon noob and feeling like a Spartan going to war
If you ever want to know what it feels like to be a Spartan warrior going into battle, just get 'six months of sprawl training' and a contract with the UFC and you can find out for yourself. Luckily it's really not that easy or the we'd all be running around various parts of the world after our Spartan Octagon moment with a new found King Leonidas warrior mental complex and hurling arrows at people that cut us off in traffic as though they were the evil Xerses himself.
It takes a whole lot more hard work, training and fighting to earn that UFC Octagon spot and Spartan warrior feeling. For Abel Trujillo it took around 3 years of training, 14 pro fights and months of Blackzillian camp beatings to finally get his shot as a noob in the prestigious 8 sided UFC battleground. And go to battle he did this past weekend at UFC on FOX 5 against Marcus LeVesseur when he dished out a two round beating that ended in a second round TKO via unrelentingly repeated knees to the body. Check out this footage LayzieTheSavage picked up of Trujillo talking about the fight, training with the Blackzillian camp and feeling like a Spartan Warrior in the UFC.

Returning home after a vacation in 2004, Andy Volk dumped his luggage in the hallway and settled into an armchair for an evening of his favorite shows: The Simpsons, Futurama, and The Streets of San Francisco. But when he called up the Now Playing menu on his TiVo, he discovered a couple of things he'd never seen next to the usual items. A friend who'd been house-sitting had loaded the DVR with a whole new world of television. At the top of the list was Dr. Terror's House of Horrors, something Volk, a product manager at Yahoo!, had never considered watching. He pushed Play. And he loved it.

Every so often, Volk would find that his TiVo had recorded another obscure gem. He told the story to his boss, Bradley Horowitz, senior director of Yahoo!'s Technology Development Group, and suggested that Yahoo!'s video search technology, then in the early stages of development, needed a house sitter of its own. Horowitz had to laugh. Since his days as a grad student at the MIT Media Lab, he'd been trying to develop a machine-based version of Volk's houseguest. If only a computer could grasp the appeal of a 1965 vampire fest.
Now, 14 years after Horowitz began investigating video search, a tsunami of video is bearing down on all of us, and his once-obscure quest has become urgent. A household with 300 cable or satellite channels has access to 7,000 hours of programming a day, almost 3 million per year. That's a lot, but it's only a fraction of the 31 million hours of total annual programming. Every major cable company is making investments to allow TV to be distributed over the Internet, giving you access to each one of those 31 million hours. And then there's this year's 36-fold explosion in consumer-generated video on the Internet.
This onslaught is already turning the entertainment business inside out. More music videos are being watched on AOL than on MTV. Procter & Gamble is cutting down on pricey 30-second TV spots to beef up the online presence of its packaged goods. TV Guide announced in July that it would drastically cut the amount of space it devotes to listings, an acknowledgment that viewers now turn to the Internet and onscreen programming guides. And CBS is squaring off in a content-indexing smackdown with Google. Meanwhile, the guy down the block has turned his backyard into a back lot, his basement into an edit bay, and he's landed a global distribution deal - with his ISP.
For its part, Yahoo! is working with SBC and Microsoft on an IPTV/fiber-to-the-curb initiative called Project Lightspeed that uses Yahoo! software to deliver video-on-demand, instant messaging, photo collections, and music. Meanwhile, chief executive Terry Semel, who spent 24 years as an executive at Warner Bros., has recruited a crew of network personnel in Santa Monica to crack open the contractual vaults containing 50 years of rights-encumbered TV and film archives. And Yahoo! has already become the Internet home of broadcast fare like Fat Actress and The Apprentice. "They're clearly thinking of themselves as the fifth network," says Jeremy Allaire, founder of Brightcove, a Net video distribution startup.
Watching whatever you want (or didn't even know you wanted) wherever you are whenever you feel like it has been a fantasy since the early days of the Internet. Now it's a reality that Horowitz refers to as a "high-class problem." He and his charges at Yahoo! are trying to figure out how to solve that problem. When they do, it's good-bye network TV, hello networked TV.
Of course, Yahoo! didn't start out as a TV play. Before Semel took over in 2001 and began steering the company toward entertainment, Jerry Yang and David Filo were running a Web-indexing outfit. Back then, Yahoo! was about straight-up information.
These days, the company has two distinct faces. In Silicon Valley, a band of happy hackers, the descendants of Yang and Filo, work to out-engineer the guys up the street at Google. In Santa Monica, 350 miles south, the Yahoo! Media Group has slapped down $100 million for a 10-year lease on the 230,000-square-foot Yahoo! Center, formerly MGM's home. The office park covers an entire city block, squatting amid the offices of HBO, MTV, Lion's Gate, and Universal. The company won't comment on its mission in LA, but in an internal email making rounds on the Web, Yahoo! COO Dan Rosensweig says, "The growing consumer demand for compelling content on the Internet and the proliferation of broadband is an exciting opportunity. We need to enhance our presence in the entertainment capital of the world."
Last year, Semel hired Lloyd Braun, the head of ABC television, to marshal the media group. While Horowitz is busy working on the technical problem of video search, Braun is practicing the more visceral science of show business in a world of power lunches, calling in favors, subtle arm-twisting, and table-banging. Earlier this year he told the Hollywood Reporter that being in Santa Monica was about fostering relationships "in a way you simply can't do when you're a plane ride away."
Braun is shaking up Yahoo!'s executive ranks by bringing in experienced TV industry personnel: Ira Kurgan from Fox Broadcasting, Shawn Hardin, who ran NBC's Internet division, and, most recently, Dave Katz, a senior VP at CBS.
Braun's quick hires and brash management style have prompted the resignation of Yahoo!'s sports, finance, and television and movie division heads, and the reassignment of three other general managers. But those who remain have seen some early success. For example, Yahoo! crafted a deal with Mark Burnett Productions to become the online host of The Apprentice. The arrangement puts streaming clips of the show on Yahoo! and delivers Trump junkies to advertisers brought aboard by Yahoo!, Burnett, and NBC. Yahoo! also struck a deal with Showtime to promote and stream Fat Actress, the faux-reality show starring Kirstie Alley, and teamed with Pepsi to resurrect a version of the Pepsi Smash music show, which aired two seasons on the WB. On a smaller scale, the company has signed a two-film deal that transformed Gregg and Evan Spiridellis' webtoon studio, JibJab, from an election-year curiosity to the flag-bearer of a new generation of Web-only microcontent.

As mentioned in my 2 previous pieces, I'm a BIG fan of Latino Bigs. If you don't know about Latino Bigs yet, here is an opening statement from their website which may give you an overview of what the group embodies:
"Latinos know all too well the variety of challenges Hispanic children face today. Many of our Latino Littles come from immigrant families and are adjusting to the nuances of a new culture. And, like all young people today, they face the lure of dangerous role models such as gangs and the temptation of drugs. About 20% of the children we serve are Hispanic – a number on the rise. Yet, only 9% of our Bigs are Latino. Also, more than 70% of the children ready and waiting to be matched with a mentor are boys, yet only 3 of 10 volunteer inquiries come from men"
If you're still not convinced that this is an absolutely awesome group, then perhaps you may be interested in see some video testimonials from some Latino Bigs here.
Lastly, to find out more information, you can join their Twitter party tomorrow. In order to participate you must RSVP here.
¡Que viva Latino Bigs!

Pretty much all of the pieces in this post speak to me! I especially love that peplum skirt! YES!!
While I really like this series, because I enjoy seeing the clothes that are shown, I would like to share my observation/feedback.
Personally, I'm really not one to worry too much about dressing for my shape. I wear what I like. I can appreciate people who do, but I know there are those of us who arent really into that.
For instance, I'm a pear shape, and I LOVE wide leg jeans. I do not avoid them. As a matter of fact, I just posted pics in wide-legged trousers last week! lol They may make my hips appear wide, and my legs short. But depending on the person, who's to say that's a bad thing? I have short legs and wide hips.
Even though the post is pointing out different body types, to me it seems as though the message is to try and create the illusion of an hour glass in some shape or form no matter what body type you are. As if that's THE type that all women should shoot for.
I know this is a long comment, and I hope that my comments aren't viewed as disrespectful in any way because that's far from what I want to portray. I LOVE Stylish Curves, and I'm sure we all want the same thing. For women to be comfortable in the skin they're in and rock their looks/style to the fullest with confidence and pride. Lets do it Ladies!!

I really like this series and it has been very helpful for me. I'm a size 14 hourglass so looking too wide in the shoulder area is definitely a concern for me.

I like this article, but I always run into the same issue over and over with no one to address it. And if it is an issue for me its an issue for others. I am an hourglass plus size. Which according to this article I should wear structure and silhouette shapes etc...my problem is that I also have a bit of a tummy that I don't want to show off. To wear silhouette means showing my tummy. I live in a very hot weathered location and menopause is no help..so jackets, long sleeve etc is not going to be reasonable. What does one wear in that situation. I don't like binding clothes, so knits work great, and I don't mind showing curves, but I also don't want to emphasize my tummy or sweat to death in 100 degree temps either.

thank so much for your advice! i was wondering if you could do an article on how to dress women who have a cross between apple and pear. im small at the top but i carry weight on my belly area and hips and bum...

OK, I'm an apple shape, and if I wear an empire waist I look pregnant. Suggestions?

"We have a year to violate our consciences." I'm John Stonestreet, and this is The Point.
That comment from Catholic Archbishop Timothy Dolan was aimed at the Obama Administration's announcement that religious organizations be forced to purchase insurance offering free contraception for its workers. So faith based organizations, like Catholic hospitals, who object to artificial contraception must violate their conscience to comply.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the proposal "strikes the appropriate balance between respecting religious freedom and increasing access to important preventive services." Only it doesn't -- the church's view won't change in a year, so they'll lose this institutional freedom to act from their religious convictions. Even the Washington Post said the decision went too far!
As Chuck Colson wrote recently, this administration has consistently undermined religious freedom -- even renaming it freedom of worship, which extends to personal faith but not public expression when conviction demands it.
Now you may not hold Rome's conviction on birth control, but we had better be asking, "What's next?" For thePointRadio.org, I'm John Stonestreet.

Online news set for revenue boost
21 June 2013
LONDON: Consumers around the world have recorded a marked increase in their willingness to pay for online news content, according to a survey covering nine countries.
The Digital News Report,
published by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism
, found that the number of web users prepared to pay for news on the web rose by more than a third to 11% across the UK, the US, France, Germany and Denmark.
In Spain, Italy, Japan and urban Brazil, this figure climbed to almost 20%. Of the nations for which there was comparative data from last year, the UK, France and Germany reported the steepest increases.
More specifically, some 9% of Britons would now pay for content, up from 4% in 2012. The statistics for France and Germany stood at 13% and 10%, up from 8% and 6% respectively.
While the 12% of Americans who would happily do the same also marked a jump from 9%, figures in Denmark fell slightly to 10% from 12% during this period.
The overall findings may provide some comfort for news providers that have invested heavily in digital news, but Robert Picard, head of research at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, still urged caution.
"[Paid-for] digital news appears to be becoming a product aimed at a niche audience rather than a widely used consumer produce," he said.
Among the other findings was that 25-34 year olds were the most willing to pay for online news. Elsewhere, the report revealed that 30% of under-35 year olds in the UK use social media for news updates.
Traditional news brands also held up well against rival digital-only news sites in Denmark and the UK, where 79% of online users trusted broadcasters like the BBC and Sky and 60% trusted newspapers.
By contrast, far more consumers in Japan and the US relied on news aggregators and digital-only information providers.

ben, your credibility will continue to take hits if you say things like "I am skeptical that rossiter is the best player in the league" yet you voted for him as POY. I thought that you were supposed to be a MAAC "expert?"
- Ben Doody said...
Anon (why not use a name?),
I think Needham has a higher ceiling, but awards like this aren't about ceilings, they're about results.
Am I extremely confident Rossiter will have the best year of anyone in the league? No.
Do I think he has the best chance of any player to have the biggest impact? Yes.
It's not a black-and-white kind of thing; lot of factors involved and a lot of unknowns.
Gun to my head, though, he'll be the Player of the Year.
Hope that clears everything up.
- said...
One final thought after the chat. If any other coach in the league had talked about pre-season stats including closed door scrimmages they would be thrown to the fire by Siena fans. There coach does it and oh well that's just Mitch being Mitch. Interesting.
- said...
Mitch being Mitch is why he's been buried on the bench for 20 plus years. Siena made a bad hire trying to keep the current run together. They would have been better off getting a solid head coach rather than a retread.

Welcome back. It's Monday again and you know what that means, right? It's time to talk about this week's episode of The Walking Dead. Much like we did with last week's episode, we're going to cover the most important scenes from this week's show and break down why they appear important. So enough with the formalities, let's get right into this week's episode -- "Triggerfinger."
As per usual, spoilers ahead!
Lori takes a nap on the side of the road
The opening for this week's episode was surprisingly short and featured not a single word uttered -- unless you count half a scream. We just got a look at Lori passed out in her car after crashing it last week. However, the zombie trying to claw his way inside the car didn't really look the paramedics there to help. Although, he did have some nice jaws of (un)life…
Hershel turns to the dark side
After the climax of last week's episode featuring Rick putting multiple bullets into the chests of Dave and Tony, Hershel seems surprisingly calm about it all. In fact, he's even carrying a gun now! The god-loving man full of faith is quickly realizing that the whole world has gone to Hell in a hand basket and he's going to have to quickly adjust with the times.
Dave and Tony's have some friends...
It seems as though Dave and Tony were not traveling alone. They were apparently with a posse of folks who are now out looking for them. This leads to a Mexican standoff between Rick, Hershel and Glenn and the Philly travelers, as I'm going to label them.
Daryl is still being a total jerk
Carol confronts Daryl about the whereabouts of Lori and he admits that she came to him to go out and find Rick. Daryl also reveals that he rejected her offer, and that missing people aren't his problem anymore. Daryl then takes it a step further and lashes out at Carol. It appears as though Daryl is going through quite the character 180. Is it because he feels like he's lost his purpose in the group now that Sophia is gone, or is it because he thinks himself an outsider after those visions of his brother screwed with his head? Or, is it a little from column A and B?
Homeward Bound -- Lori Edition
Shane takes it upon himself to venture out and find Lori. He quickly stumbles across her overturned car with two dead zombies lying about. There was an obvious kerfuffle here. With a concerned look on his face, and thunder sounding off in the distance, Shane runs back to his car to continue his search for Lori.
Hershel's quite the shot
While searching the perimeter of the bar, Hershel shows off his talents with a handgun, putting a bullet right into the chest of one of Dave and Tony's Philly friends to save Glenn's life. The shots attract the zombies nearby, cueing the obligatory zombie buffet…
Leave no kid behind
Rick might have shot two men without much remorse last episode, but here he shows some sympathy for a kid named Randall from the Philly travelers who falls on a fence, impaling his leg in the process. Rick decides that because he's "just a kid," he's going to save his life and bring him back to the farm with them. Hershel and Glenn go along with the plan.
Daryl continues to slip into madness
Hot damn, Daryl says some cold stuff to Carol. There's obviously a lot of romantic tension between squirrel master Daryl and Carol, but they're yet to act on it. Then again, a man that wears zombie ears probably isn't that in touch with whispering sweet nothings into a girl's ear. Hopefully he'll get there soon, because we think Daryl deserves some lovin' too!
Ouch. Shane breaks the news to the camp about Lori's baby in probably the worst way possible. Well played, Shane. But if there is some silver lining here at all, it's that Carl actually seems excited about being an older brother.
"The Talk"
It's revealed that Lori and Rick never had the "where babies come from" talk with Carl. Although, it seems like he's picked up on the birds and the bees rather quickly judging from the way he felt his mom's belly and asked if it's a boy or girl. Carl -- wise beyond his years, that boy.
Lori reveals to Shane that Rick knows the dirty truth
This sends Shane into a quasi rage about what Lori and he had being "real." Of course, Lori denies this, saying the hookups were nothing but a product of the circumstances they were in. Nothing more. Shane is obviously not happy about this.
Randal joins the farm family
Rick, Glenn and Hershel arrive back at the farm to the excitement of everyone there. In addition, they've brought along Randal, who reminds me of Kenshi from Mortal Kombat with that blindfold. Admit it, you thought the same thing! The camp is now concerned if Randal's friends will come looking for him, and rightfully so.
Hershel confronts Shane
Hershel finally confronted Shane about the drastic actions he took at the barn last season. Essentially, Hershel gave a "This is MY HOUSE!" speech, and Shane stormed off. Classic Shane. All jokes aside, it's nice to finally see someone confront Shane about what he did instead of just letting it slide.
Selfish Glenn
Glenn admits to Maggie that she's all he thought about while being shot at. To him, it was a selfish move that shows he can't be counted on during desperate times. Our take? Glenn is being a little hard on himself here. By thinking about Maggie, Glenn is just reinforcing his will to live. In troubled times like these, that's probably a good thing.
Andrea confronts Shane about his "presentation"
This scene was actually pretty hilarious. Andrea catches up with Shane outside, giving him a pep talk about how he could potentially improve the presentation of his decision making. Andrea admits that, so far, Shane has consistently made good choices, but he does a bang up job pushing people away in the process. Basically, Shane needs a better PR agent.
Lori furthers the rift between Rick and Shane
The AMC version of The Walking Dead is definitely handling the baby situation much differently than the comic book source material. In the comics, Lori and Rick never really talked about who was the baby's daddy. It was a taboo topic. In the show, it's the polar opposite; Lori and Rick actually sit down and have a very mature, adult conversation about the impending bundle of joy.
This sequence also furthers the rift between Rick and Shane, as Lori manages to get into Rick's head to make him believe Shane is a danger to not only the other survivors in the camp, but also Lori, Carl and the unborn baby, which Shane believes wholeheartedly is his own.
The episode ends with Lori asking her husband if he's willing to kill the living again to protect his wife, son and unborn baby. By the look in Rick's eyes, the answer to that question is obvious…
Final word
And that wraps up another episode of The Walking Dead. Overall, "Triggerfinger" was another slow one, yet it feels like things are about to be turned up to 11. The rift between Rick and Shane is getting larger by the day, and it's going to come to a head sooner or later. Let's hope it's the former rather than the latter.
What did you guys think of this week's episode?

We so overwhelmed by the number of cakes I received.

By the time mommy got home from work the cakes were no longer free. We feel bad that we will not be able to send some of you a cake back to many of you. We did want to say how much we appreciate all of you and to let you know that we love all my pals. You are the pals ever.

I decided to use the hallway as the potty this afternoon, but it was mommy's fault. She left the bedroom door open while she was on the computer so I sneaked out and used the hallway as the potty. . My deed did not go unnoticed for very long, when mommy went to the kitchen and she got a sniffed my misdeed. I had to go outside for a short time and when I came back into the house I had to go to the crate until the hallway is cleaned.
