4 LinkedIn Tips to Help You Stand Out
Very few people ignore you in real life, face-to-face networking situations. So why do they do it to you online? The simple answer is because they probably don't even realize that they are!
Be honest. Do you follow up on every LinkedIn connection request you get? No, probably not. I'll bet you click "accept" and that's as far as you go.
When someone requests to connect with you and you simply click "accept" and make no effort to carry on the conversation, you're both simply saying hello to each other and it stops dead there. The only thing you gain by doing this is a string of connections that don't have any real value. You become a connection collector.
Study Reveals Why Consumers Fan Facebook Pages
Have you ever wondered why people decide to become fans of Facebook pages? Understanding the reasons people become fans can help your business or brand develop better strategies.
In this article, I take a look at two studies.
The first reveals why consumers fan businesses on Facebook. The second one examines how marketers are keeping up with the ever-changing world of social media.
Busting the Top 3 Guest Blogging Myths
What's smarter? Putting all your eggs into your own blog basket or placing a few real fine blog posts on another person's blog? If you've pondered these thoughts, keep reading…
Guest blogging has been around for a long time, but it's an especially hot topic now. With the concept becoming even hotter daily, it's quite natural that myths emerge.
This post looks at three myths around guest blogging that have been actively discussed recently.
Myth #1: Guest Blogging Is a Waste of Time
"Why would I spend so much time arranging, discussing and writing a post to get just one or two links from the very bottom of my article?"
How to Cash In On Your Passion With Social Media
Have you heard of Joseph Campbell?
He was the famous mythologist—author of The Hero With a Thousand Faces and many other books—who told us all to "follow your bliss" in his Power of Myth PBS specials with Bill Moyers in the late 1980s.
"That's all well and good," you may have thought at the time. "But I have to make a living. How do I make money by following my bliss?"
If you've been asking that question for the past 20 years, you'll be happy to know that someone has finally answered it. Gary Vaynerchuk has written a book to teach us how to make money by following our bliss.
Many of you may know Vaynerchuk as the host of the video blog WineLibraryTV.com. Now he has written a book titled Crush It! Why Now Is the Time to Cash in on Your Passion.
Building Your Business One Tweet at a Time: Twitter Marketing 101
"You want me to use Twitter to market my business?" I hear you asking. "How do I generate leads and promote my business by telling my friends what I had for lunch?"
Yes, many people just use Twitter to share their day with their friends. Friends who may live 2,000 miles away.
And some people use it to broadcast a breaking news story as it happens. Like the time a plane crash-landed in the Hudson River. A man in a nearby boat with an iPhone got the "scoop" on that story before the news media reported it.
4 Unique Ways To Use Twitter Lists
Many people feel that Twitter is only a sales broadcasting platform, but I'm sure that you've heard of the positive causes that have been spread via Twitter as well.
The best way to keep Twitter a valuable, viable channel is to emphasize the social aspect, and one important way to do this is to show appreciation for your Twitter friends using lists. I'll discuss 4 easy methods below.
5 Tips for Getting Started With Google Buzz
Google Buzz is important, not because it's the next big thing, but because it's from Google and is bolted onto one of the world's biggest email services, Google's Gmail.
When a service launches with millions of users right out of the gate, we need to take notice. That said, it's still the early days for Google Buzz. It might be a bit premature to be jumping on this bandwagon with both feet. So what should you do?
In this article I'll reveal what you need to know about Google Buzz.
The good news is Google Buzz is not particularly complicated or new. Google has used the most basic features from other popular platforms: friends and status updates.
You can post short messages, comment and "like" other people's messages, plus share links and photographs. All familiar stuff. Your initial friends will be from your Gmail address book and you can find other people with the usual searches for email address and name.
How to Use Tweetups as a Marketing Strategy
Social media goes beyond Facebook or Twitter. It's about connecting with people and developing relationships. And sometimes those connections can be literally face-to-face!
Social media allows us to make connections faster and over greater distances, but there is power in social media to bring us closer to our neighbors, too. One of the ways to do that is with a Tweetup.
What Is a Tweetup?
There are some things that just can't be done with a 140-character limit.
A Tweetup is an in-person meeting of Twitter users. It has also become a colloquialism for any in-person networking event organized using social media.
How to Market Your Business With Twitter Lists
Twitter is a networking haven for businesses. But is there an easy way to draw the right people to you with Twitter?
The answer is yes and there's a great Twitter feature that can help you: Twitter lists. Twitter lists can grab the interest of people you most want to meet, help you make a great first impression and can help you with marketing segmentation.
Below I'll show you some unique ways to use Twitter lists. But first…

It's your friendly neighborhood Film Snob. So here's the deal. I started FilmSnobbery back in 2008 as a blog, and turned it into a business in 2009. Since then I've earned a very meager living writing reviews, attending film festivals, managing writers, consulting on films and other projects, doing business development for FilmSnobbery which includes getting sponsors and seeking other revenue sources, and producing, starring-in, and shooting a weekly live video web show. Whew are my arms tired from all that back-patting. But seriously, I loved every minute of the work since I knew that the site's mission, to be the voice for indie film, was important. The curation of talent in the arts is something I'm proud to have been a part of. I've devoted the last several years of my life to making sure your content got seen, screened, constructively reviewed, and hopefully we all were better for it by the end.
That is exactly what this is now. The end. This is the part where we write FADE OUT and finally get some sleep, or in my case, move on to the next endeavor in my life. Over the next couple of weeks I will be decommissioning the site and dismantling the surrounding social media accounts (though I'm going to keep our Twitter account at http://twitter.com/filmsnobbery as my personal account), as well as the email addresses.
There are a lot of people to thank for the success of this site. A lot of people would shrug when I used the "royal We", but to me it was completely accurate. Nothing goes this far without other people believing in it. My writers are the first people that need to be thanked. Even if you only wrote one post on this site, you were a valuable asset to the team. Basically everyone worked for nothing, as much as I hated it and tried as hard as I could to change it. I also want to specifically call out my co-host and sounding board Jerry Cavallaro for sticking through the several iterations of various shows, podcasts, and late-night Skype sessions. I need to thank my parents for giving up one of their garage bays and letting me turn it into a makeshift studio for weekly FilmSnobbery shows and other late-night shenanigans. I definitely need to thank the people who visited this site over the years. Filmmakers, fans of film, PR people, distributors, sponsors, and friends. You are the ones that made FilmSnobbery one of the top sites for independent film news on the web, and kept us alive when the economy shouted at us to crawl into a hole and die.
I'm not going to go on a long (ok longer) diatribe about how hard I tried to make this work. Those who know me best know what I've been doing the past couple of years to get this off the ground here in Los Angeles, and they also know that I'm making the best decision for all involved by making a relatively clean break and moving on.
While this is the end for FilmSnobbery, the site, this isn't the end of my journey in the world of film and entertainment. While I'm going to leave the "what's next" part fairly vague, I will say that I'm completely satisfied with this decision and I'm looking forward to moving on to other projects in both my personal and professional life.
If you want to reach out to me personally, I'd recommend hitting me up on Facebook, Twitter, or using my personal email address. I'm not generally hard to find. Thanks again for letting me grow with you, letting me watch your movies, shake your hands in person, and for putting your trust in me.

The post Felly appeared first on FilmSnobbery.]]>
The first thing that stands out about FELLY is the lighting. The use of bright reds, blues, and strong hues really gives accent, gravitas, and depth to each scene. Even warm lighting in some scenes can help to echo some sinister undertones in a character's dialogue. Many filmmakers often light their sets and actors, but few, if any in modern cinema, light for the scene. It really echoes 70's and 80's horror and giallo films more than anything.
Secondly, Aydin knows how to show, and keep, tension within a scene. During one particular scene with Felly and a female actor (Meagan Campbell); without giving too much away, starts with a tease, and really ramps up the pressure and doesn't let go. The next scene dials it up further with a police investigating Felly's disappearance. Felly's family is obviously mobbed up, and completely ignoring the police in their house while the bloody man from the beginning comes into the view, having done some investigating of his own on someone in the another room.
The acting is good overall. The lighting and cinematography (shot by Patrick Meade Jones) is fantastic as already stated, and the story itself is pretty tight. My only complaint is that another minute or so wasn't given towards the end to see how we came to said ending (yes, this I'm being vague, but I'd hate to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet). The writer/director could have shaved off some time with Felly and Jillian's characters earlier to explore this more. Another thing of note was a great use of score. In this case the music (done by Matt Dahan) not only heightened the tension and suspense, but the absence of score in some places really added gravity to some parts as well. There's a great ear on this team for silence and stillness.

The post Black Raven appeared first on FilmSnobbery.]]>
Tony has writer's block, a chip on his shoulder that comes with the struggle to succeed in Los Angeles, and an un-appreciation for his girlfriend, friends, and even his roommates. Tony is the guy that makes everything about him, and doesn't really contribute to the overall conversation inasmuch as dominate it. This is really evident when he interviews other comic book professionals for his podcast. Ace Gibson does a fantastic job of making the viewer both root for and want to punch Tony in the face. There is a realness to his portrayal of Tony that I've seen from other artists and creators that can't be faked, but has to be lived.
It's often said that one should write what they know, and that is really well reflected in this movie. All of the characters and their conversations feel well developed and the world they live in feels real. The writing overall is solid, especially the dialogue, and the concept has small traces of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's BIRDMAN in it when Tony starts seeing his titular superhero in his everyday life. I just wish that that angle was more present from the beginning of the film.
The acting is very natural and the other performers, aside from Tony, are broad enough that I'd want to sit and watch a movie about each of them individually. It's interesting that the director decided to focus on the villain of the group, but I think that there are traces of Tony in many of us who struggle in the arts and entertainment industry. He embodies that "why not me" ego-maniacal aspect of us.
BLACK RAVEN is shot pretty dynamically considering what seems to be a modest budget. The dialogue is crisp (except for one scene described below), and the soundtrack was just present enough to not interrupt my enjoyment of the film. It was great to see people in the comic book world, typically considered geeks, to be fairly depicted (with the exception of Anthony Giambusso's role as Mitch, who was more of the smelly, awkward, bespectacled, stereotypical geek).
There are a few areas that could be improved in this film. The first is that there is a music cue at the tail end of the movie that almost drowns out some great dialogue by a disgruntled waiter who is in the process of taking out some anger on Tony. It immediately took me out of the scene, and after about an hour of waiting for something to actually happen, I was a little let down. The other part is the overall story structure. It is really evident watching BLACK RAVEN that Derek is comfortable in the confines of writing for comic books and web series (check out his two seasons of Mythomania on Youtube), which is serialized content that is usually meant to be rather open ended. BLACK RAVEN feels almost like a "day in the life" type of movie with no real satisfying ending. It was disappointing only because right towards the end I was starting to see Tony's character make a turn for the better, but instead it just ended. There was a lot of build up between everyone. Relationships were established, but nothing really pays off. I almost expected a "to be continued" card before the credits.

The post Interview with Dominique Schilling appeared first on FilmSnobbery.]]>
Dominique Schilling – Humility, focus, put the work in, have confidence in your own work, be grateful and never give up.
FS – You are both the writer and director of A REASON. Did any of the scenes turn out completely different after filming then when you envisioned them during the writing process?
DS – Yes. They turned out better. Nothing beats watching your imagination come to life on screen.
FS – I know you have discussed the time limitations you had when filming because the house in the film was going to be torn down. What was the second biggest obstacle you had to overcome while shooting A REASON?
DS – There was a very noisy construction site across the street from our main shooting location and even though we had made previous arrangements to work around the sites hours, the builder didn't stick to the agreement. It was a very challenging for us and we had to reschedule scenes, but were able to make it work in the end.
FS – Growing up outside the US, do you see a difference in the way independent film is supported/viewed?
DS – In Germany, for example, there is no such thing as indie film like we know it here, because there is no studio system in the first place. There are studios, but most films are state funded, not funded by the studios or private investors. Sometimes it's a mixture. So, what we perceive here in the US as indie film is a rarity over there.
FS – Having also worked on a documentary, which genre of filmmaking do you find more challenging and fulfilling?
DS – Both present their own unique set of challenges. I enjoy bringing fictional stories to life as well as shedding light on issues I'm passionate about. Our next film will be another narrative feature, but I'm not excluding the possibility to direct a documentary in the future.
FS – What is your writing process? Do you have certain times of day or night where you feel more creative than others?
DS – I go on a walk to the beach every morning to clear my head. Then, around 10am, I usually put on something that represents the main character. When I wrote "A Reason", it was a black hoodie, which was later worn by Magda Apanowicz in the film. For the new script "Little Girl, Big Eyes", I dressed up in fighter boots, because that's what the lead character will wear in the film. It brings me closer to the characters and puts me into the right mindset. Then I put on music to write to. Every character has their own theme song and certain scenes have their own song. I've been called a "method writer" before. After I'm done with a scene, I play through it. Makes for great entertainment in a coffee shop, that's why I usually write at home.
FS – There are a lot of states with healthy tax credits and resources. Why did you choose to film in Los Angeles, which is typically regarded as being fairly expensive to film in?
DS – The house that inspired the film and that I wrote the script for, is located here in Los Angeles, so it was always clear to me that I would shoot the movie here. I do, however, also have a lot of friends that are crew members that have a hard time, because the film industry is leaving Los Angeles. I kept that in mind. Having said that, if I write a film that has a New York setting, I would shoot in New York.
FS – Where did you meet your Producer, Caroline and why did you decide to work together? What gaps in your knowledge and sanity does she fill?
DS – I met Caroline Risberg through a friend. Our first project together was a music video. My co-director quit mid-shoot and I had only a few hours to write a shot list and come up with new camera angles and staging for the dancers. The ship was sinking, but Caroline and I saved the shoot together, because both of us were determined to not have the investors lose their money and the artist go through a devastating experience. Through this we realized how well we work together, that we trust each other, rely on each other and that we're both the kind of people that just don't give up. At that point we formed Risberg Schilling Productions. She's a wonderful producer and business partner.
FS – How important was the score to this film to you? What do you hope to make the audience feel with the music in A REASON?
DS – Composer Kim Planert, who is just amazing, wrote the score for the film. As I mentioned earlier, I listened to music while writing A Reason and played some things for him to give him a direction. He has exceeded my expectation in every sense. It was wonderful to work with him in the studio, record the music with the orchestra – it was one of my most important aspects of the film. I think that music shouldn't tell an audience what to feel – it should round up a picture. It's another way of sharing emotions.
FS – How much inspiration, if any, did you take from your experiences with your own family while writing A REASON?
DS – I had just visited my family in Switzerland and even though my family is not picture book, we all always try to make it work and love each other deeply. I wanted to pass some of that peace that I've gained on, however, the film is not based on my own family. The characters are all very different. Everyone has some sort of family and as an adult our perception towards them can either progress or regress. I'm a firm believer in unconditional love when it comes to family and hope that A Reason sends that message out. That no matter what you're up against, you can work towards family cohesion.
FS – What was the casting process for A REASON? Was Marion Ross your first choice for the role of Aunt Irene? What about Serena's character? What were the specific qualities you were looking for the actress playing her to have?
DS – Our casting director Michael Sanford and casting associate Alex Christopoulos suggested Marion. Caroline and I absolutely loved the idea, Marion read the script, we made an offer and she said yes. It was a very standard approach. We had auditions for Serena and had a lot of actresses read for us. I was very torn about who to cast in this role, because the character has such a big arch. I needed an actress that could portray an intimidated, distraught young woman, who deep inside has a rebel spirit that comes more and more to the surface until she fights back. It's the old "we need someone who is vulnerable and strong at the same time". It's really harder than one would think. Magda Apanowicz had all these qualities and is a wonderful actress. I feel very fortunate to have had such an amazing cast.

The post A Film A Day With MoviePass appeared first on FilmSnobbery.]]>
Obviously if you frequent the movie theater like I do this can be a fantastic deal. Going to the movies is definitely a costly endeavor. Aside from the cost of tickets, which seems to get higher every year, there is parking, concessions, and possible a babysitter for all you parents out there. The question of value in regards to MoviePass has nothing to do with the monthly cost though, it really comes down to time. It's one thing to spend a couple of hours at home with a film that you can watch and possibly multi-task at the same time, but taking 2-3 hours of your day, several days a week, to go to the movies isn't for everyone.
The process of reserving your tickets and purchasing them at the theater is fairly simple. Although you need to pretty much be AT the theater in order to check-in (the app said within 100 yards). When you go to pick up your tickets, you might do what I did accidentally and tried to use the "Pick Up" tickets option. Although you've checked in and reserved your tickets, they aren't actually purchased yet. You still need to purchase your ticket with your MoviePass card.
As a film critic and someone who pretty much lives their life in a movie theater, MoviePass is simply awesome. For those who blog about movies but don't have access to press related events or premieres, this could also be a relatively inexpensive way to see the films you need to write about. In regards to indie films, MoviePass actually works at several indie movie theaters here in Los Angeles such as the Downtown Independent, CineFamily, Arena Cinema, and many more. Most of the major chains here participate (excluding the Arclight which is a bit of a bummer), but AMC, Laemmle, and Pacific theaters work with MoviePass.
Overall MoviePass is a great addition for people that like to go to the movies a lot. If you were to subscribe to MoviePass, Netflix (or Redbox), and maybe Hulu or Amazon's instant service, you'd still be far less than the average cable bill, and it would actually get you out of the house a few days a week. You'd almost never miss the new movies coming out on Thursday night or Friday, and you'd cut your date night ticket costs in half.

The post Struck By Lightning appeared first on FilmSnobbery.]]>
Luckily, this is not the big finale, or the inevitable 'twist' at the end of some long drawn out sob, story, which ironically tells you the entire plot line in the title. (We all know a film in which that's happened, and I'm sure we can all name at least ten films probably less than a decade old, which have abused just that tactic.) No, rather the title is actually a metaphor for that tiny moment in which creative inspiration strikes, like, for example the moment when Van Gogh looked up at the night sky and received the inspiration to paint The Starry Night. The fact that the same character is then himself hit by lightning is simply representative of the fragility of life regardless of length, and – yeah okay – it's ironic.
The story follows high-school student Carson Phillips (Chris Colfer) who, at the age of seventeen, is desperate to escape his small-town life and begin on the pathway to the journalism career he has dreamed of since early childhood. With that goal in mind, he has undertaken the role of school newspaper editor.
Frustrated both by the lack of interest in the newspaper shown by the student body, and the lack of drive from the rest of the writer 'club', and further desperate to have something impressive to show the board of his chosen university. Carson, with the help of his sole friend and fellow writer club member Malerie Baggs (Rebel Wilson), blackmails several of the more popular, and therefore influential, students of the school into writing for the newly conceived literary magazine.
After an argument with the principle at a student council meeting, concerning the proposed banning of logo's on clothes, the principle bans all off-campus privileges for students. Predictably, and as a result of this, the rest of the student-body boycotts buying the magazine, to serve as a punishment to Him.
Carson also receives the news that his chosen university had accepted him, but due to his lack of reply they have given his place to someone else, meaning that he has to wait a year before reapplying. Naturally, this all leads him to a state of depression, and it is only after some time of reflection that he realizes that, despite everything, for the first time in his life he is happy and that he only has one story left to write – his own.
This is pretty-much where the story began, with him working late before being struck by lightning, his funeral, etc.
Overall, this story-line is brilliant I really can't fault it, so I won't try; the only other thing I'll say is I did miss some things out of his summary, so as not to ruin it for you, but believe me, those parts add a great deal of depth, also, this film is FUNNY.
Now, as for the quality of acting: I don't think any of the cast really let themselves down, they all put on great performances, but I just HAVE to mention Chris Colfer. For those who don't already know, Colfer plays the part of Kurt Hummel in Glee, now I do actually watch that program (no I'm not a fanatic, I just find it harmless entertainment – like Disney) and whilst I've always thought he has a fantastic singing voice, I've never really rated his acting that highly, but maybe he just blends into the background a bit in Glee, whereas here he shines! I actually found myself thinking: "He's going to be a Hollywood A-lister."
Perhaps it's simply because he felt more a connection with Carson than Kurt, or perhaps it's that he wanted to do justice to his own character (Colfer also wrote both the literary and screenplay versions of Struck By Lightning) either way, he was tremendous and made me connect almost instantly with Carson.
I felt a bit let down with the direction to be honest. There were a few moments in the film where I felt like, if the camera had just stayed with the character a bit longer, then it would have added… something indefinable. I just think there was room for more (for want of a better term) color in the visual aspects of the film, and it's a shame that isn't so. But the directing's not 'bad', and nothing's been taken from the film despite this, all I'm saying is: this film won't make my 'favorites' list.
Great coming-of-age film though, very witty, almost poetic in it's conclusion. Watch it.

We keep debunking them, but most Americans still believe these 10 preposterous conservative myths. Cartoon from politicalhumor.about.com.
A lot of people will occasionally believe something that "just ain't so." Fortunately most will let go of an erroneous belief when presented with proof that their belief is incorrect, but that is often not the case if the person is a conservative. Conservatives are notorious for clinging to, and repeating, myths and falsehoods long after they have been debunked. Although an exhaustive list of myths that conservatives cling to would be longer than space permits here, below are ten things that many conservatives believe that "just ain't so."
1. President Obama is spending the United States into the poor house.
On June 12, 2012, Godfather of "supply side" economics Arthur Laffer and libertarian flunky Stephen Moore wrote an article in the Wall Street Journal that disingenuously claimed that President Obama continued the Bush administration's record of spending when he took office. Laffer and Moore blamed the Democratic congress that took office in January 2007 for spending levels during the last two years of the Bush administration, and made the following claim:
After taking office in 2009, with spending and debt already at record high levels and the deficit headed to $1 trillion, President Obama proceeded to pass his own $830 billion stimulus, auto bailouts, mortgage relief plans, the Dodd-Frank financial reforms and the $1.7 trillion ObamaCare entitlement.
CNNMoney.com explains how the auto bailout helped the economy and prevented an even bigger cost to the treasury: the loss of tax revenue from General Motors and Chrysler if those companies had failed, as well as the loss of thousands of jobs, which would have added to costs for unemployment insurance and would have deprived the government of the taxes paid by the laid off workers.
Laffer's and Moore's article appeared to be a response to a WSJ Market Watch story from May of that year by Rex Nutting, where he explained in some detail how spending growth has actually been lower under Obama than under all of his predecessors dating back to Ronald Reagan. Who was right? Politifact.com rated Nutting's claim as "mostly true."
2. Obamacare changed federal policy on abortion and permits federal funding for abortions on demand.
The site LifeNews.com claimed that Obamacare "bypasses the Hyde Amendment," which forbids federal money being used for most abortion services. Section 1303 (a) of the Affordable Care Act states explicitly thathealth plans are not required to offer coverage for abortion services. It further states that nothing in the law changes current federal or state laws regarding abortion. The President issued executive order 13535 clarifying that the law did not have any effect on the Hyde Amendment.
3. Social Security is going bankrupt.
Failed Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan features the claim that "Social Security Is Going Broke" on his website. He says …Print This Post

If you don't follow the Wu-Tang, Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang would just seem the slightly delayed follow-up to Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Pt. II. However, it's a bit more than that: back when 8 Diagrams (the last album featuring the full collective) dropped in '07, RZA's forward-thinking production threw off a bunch of fans and some members themselves. Rae and Ghostface in particular were vocally displeased, declaring it a RZA solo album, and that the collective would reform some time in the future to release an album, without RZA's contributions: Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang.
Well, a bunch has changed since then. RZA's work on Diagrams was always clever, unfairly attacked, and in a world of Wacka Flack Flame's, no longer seems all that poppy even to its former detractors. Anger at the Rizza subsided, Rae dropped Pt. II with some input from him, which turned out to be just the comeback he'd hoped for. Nonetheless, with Rae claiming the lingering concept for himself, RZA's lack of involvement is symbolic. Under Rae's sole direction, the "concept" of the album grew to circle around Rae's street life prior to the Wu-Tang, "in" Shaolin, hence the "vs". Yeah, it's ambiguous, and as with most rap album concepts, hardly shows itself.
If anything, despite RZA's absence, this is the most a Wu record has reclaimed their original sound since perhaps the first slew of Wu solo offerings. For any hip hop head, that's an exciting prospect, making this a small album with a grand presence. The purported Eminem feature isn't to be found, and the promised Nas verse is recycled, and some cuts seem to just end, but this record still manages to shine.
Frankly, Rae was probably not going to be able to top Pt. II. Following it up with what he does best at its most simple was about the cleverest move he could have made. There may be nothing new here, but Rae knows how to navigate this territory better than just about anyone this side of Mobb Deep (and they make the bonus tracks). Hell, you could've thrown Rae on the simplest True-Master beats, and he would've torn it up.
That's not to say the production is lacking: "Snake Pond" is just about the coolest Wu beat put out since Liquid Swords, "Molasses" is as smooth as the title would lead you to believe, "From the Hills" makes for a surprisingly joyous song from The Chef, and so on. The guests aren't slacking either, there's the ever-present chemistry of Rae and Ghost, the ever-reliable Busta Rhymes lights up "Crane Style", and Lloyd Banks steals "Last Trip to Scotland", still apparently overjoyed to be in the Wu's good graces. Even Rick Ross pulls off a decent verse, and – hey – Method Man is good again… bring on The Crystal Meth. Album closer (outro aside) "Masters of our Fate" sounds fit to be the first rap track to make a Star Trek movie, as Black Thought helps Rae along for a reflective last thought. It's easy to forget: the Wu's coming up on two decades. Raekwon knows what he does best, and while this may not be as grand as his last, he does just that here, to the fullest.

I was wondering if anyone couldvoffer advice:
Last year my w reg for ka's blowers stopped working. It gets hot but theres no blow on any of the 4 settings. I paid and got this fixed. After much investigation, the whole switch unit was replaced. They then stopped working again in september (same fault) but a month later, jst randomly came back on whilst driving. They have now gone again exactly the same fault as before (were working when I parked the car at work after work tried to clear windscreen and no air being blown) .
Any suggestions on what I can check or has anyone had similar experiences?
Thank you.

We have an application on Linux that used the syslog mechanism. After a week spent trying to figure out why this application was running slower than expected, we discovered that if we eliminated syslog, and just wrote directly to a log file, performance improved dramatically.
I understand why syslog is slower than direct file writes. But I was wondering: Are there ways to configure syslog to optimize its performance?

Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
Carlos Zambrano threw three shutout innings, Blake DeWitt doubled, singled, drove-in a run, and scored another, and Augie Ojeda smacked a bases-loaded two-run double, but a split squad of Texas Rangers rallied from a 5-1 deficit to edge the Cubs 8-7 in Cactus League action at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in Mesa this afternoon.
Although he did not allow a run, Zambrano did allow five baserunners (two singles, two walks, and a HBP) and struggled with his control (41 pitches - only 20 strikes), consistently missing up. But he made pitches and threw strikes when he needed them most, and was able to survive unscathed.
Braden Looper followed "Z" to the mound and worked two innings (24 pitches - 14 strikes). He was hit hard in his first inning, but threw more effectively in his second inning when he retired the Rangers 1-2-3.
Meanwhile, the Cubs were assuming a 5-1 lead.
Blake DeWitt doubled into the LF corner to lead off the bottom of the 1st, and then with two outs, Aramis Ramirez single to left to score DeWitt from 3rd base with the first run of the day.
The Cubs then scored four more runs in the bottom of the 4th.
Carlos Pena walked and Alfonso Soriano and Geovany Soto singled to load the bases, before Augie Ojeda smacked a double past the 1st baseman and down the RF line and into the corner, scoring Pena and Soriano. Braden Looper then lined a sacrifice fly to score Soto from 3rd (as the ball almost sailed over the head of RF Doug Deeds), and DeWitt followed the Looper SF with an RBI single to score Ojeda, as the Cubs took a 5-1 lead.
But RHP Rafael Dolis had a bad day, as the 23-year old fireballer was only able to retire one batter in the top of the 6th before being relieved. It wasn't so much that he was hit hard, it's just that he threw a boatload of pitches to get just one out (32 pitches - 20 strikes). Dolis allowed two hits (including a Mitch Moreland monster three-run jack that landed just in front of the Party Pavillion located well beyond the RF fence) and two walks, but he was also hurt by an error (dropped catch) by 1st baseman Scott Moore on what should have been an easy 6-3 put-out to open the inning, and then the next batter (Omar Quintanilla) had a 13-pitch AB that featured two sprawling unsuccessful attempts at spectacular catches by LF Matt Camp in foul territory down the LF line. Esmailin Caridad eventually relieved Dolis and got the final two out of the inning easily, but not before the Rangers had tied it up at 5-5.
Texas took the lead off Thomas Diamond in the top of the 8th, as PH David Paisano tripled off the right-centerfield fence, driving in two runs before being thrown out at the plate trying to stretch the triple into an inside-the-park HR. Like Zambrano earlier in the game, Diamond struggled with his control, throwing 20 pitches (but only ten for strikes) in his one inning of work.
The Cubs did score two runs with two outs in the bottom of the 9th, as Marquez Smith doubled down the LF line, and Scott Moore and Matt Camp followed with RBI line-drive singles. So the Cubs had the potential tying run on base and the potential winning run at the plate, but the batter was Koyie Hill, and he popped-out weakly against LHRP Ben Snyder (Brad's younger brother) to CF to end the game.
The Cubs defense was marginally better today. Besides the Scott Moore dropped throw that led to two unearned runs, the Cubs also were unable to turn double plays twice in the first three innings that might have helped Zambrano to get through his three innings with a bit less stress.
Michael Young got the start at 2B for the Rangers today (perhaps as a showcase for a possible trade with the Cubs?), and he had a line-drive single and a walk in his two Plate Appearances. Interestingly, Rafael Dolis was rumored to be on the Rangers radar during the off-season in a deal that would have sent Dolis and C Robinson Chirinos to Texas for RHRP Darren O'Day and 1B Chris Davis, as a precursor to the Rangers acquiring Matt Garza from Tampa Bay (with Chirinos one of the players who would have gone to TB).

well if this headline doesn't say it all

Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
Unless the Rangers intend to take some salary back (fukudome + Silva), I don't see the Cubs mucking up their books with Young for the next 3 years.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
they seem to be happy with dewitt anyway...or at least committed to the project for 2011.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
wish they would have been committed to Kelly Johnson in 2011, but no, must not trade James Russell!!!

If Bruce Levine had posted the above he would have worded it eggs-ackley the same except for him inserting The OC.
(where OC goes, so go the playoffs...so this year will really be the test given he's with the Tribe)
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
One problem wellllll actually 2.....1) Texas doesn't need another OFer. 2) Their rotation already has way better options than Silva.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
They wiggle out of 20 Million dollars though. Probably would ask for a DeWitt in the deal as a Mike Young replacement I'd suspect?

Jason Castro out for the season. Any chance Hendry ships Ramirez to the 'Stros?
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
For W-Rod?
I'd do it.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
Max Ramirez that is. Probably not, but I bet they're looking for a C.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
Koyie Hill then! We'll even throw in Augie Ojeda.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
And Reed Johnson
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
And Soriano
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
He's what I like to call a 'pot sweetener'
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
I thought that was Soto?
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
Carlos Slim speaks
"That was a very hard inning," Silva said Friday, addressing the incident for the first time after refusing previous requests. "I gave up those two homers, I came to the dugout and tried to take it easy. I tried to relax and let it go. The only thing I said was, 'We need to start making plays here.'
"He took it personally. I knew it was my mistake. It was my fault. You shouldn't say anything. But he took it personally. We argued in the dugout."
He seems to have backed off believing that he's already earned a rotation spot as well.
So, today we have Castro throwing to Colvin at first. Things could get real ugly.
Soto bats cleanup...where he belongs in the regular season.
RF Fukudome
SS Castro
1B Colvin
C Soto
3B Moore
2B Baker
LF Johnson
CF Jackson
P Garza
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
Isn't Moore's "natural" position 3B?
Good to see Jackson get a start.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
nice lineup...must be a good day for golf or something.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
they obviously didn't want Garza to go wacko when ARam makes an error in his innings
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
one of the things few people have actually commented on about garza is his temper...and he's got one.
that said, he's never been known as toxic...just mouthy.
supposedly those days are behind him, though...meh...whatevers.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
Colvin solo HR in 1st, not bad for his first 1B start. Also got two putouts (on the first two batters) in the bottom of the inning.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
HoF bound!... if they based the HoF only on March statistics.
Wonder if CPat still has the record for March RBI's.

gameday has garza throwing 94mph. this early? i doubt it...
gameday has been too flaky to trust so far, dunno if i buy that.

twitter sez Garza knocked by Francouer line drive
Gordo says rib/kidney
Sully says back of shoulder

KC has made about 1000 pickoff attempts at 1st pretty much any time anyone's on 1st...fun stuff.
BP looks...
at most disappointing prospects of all-time
These would not be players who were overdrafted, but rather those who seemed on their way to justifying high picks and large bonuses when apparent destiny was denied.
I believe that means guys drafted high and with good minor league numbers.
Todd Walker the only one with Cubs ties that I noticed. Already put Matt Wieters on there...ouch.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
I think it's too soon to call it a closed case on Weiters, but it's sort of funny how people here were saying the Cubs blew it by not taking him in the draft a month ago.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
At least he made it to the bigs, Vitters is in AA. Just sayin'.....
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
Yes, but the Orioles have paid him a lot more money - and now if he ever does get good it will be in the arbitration years of his career.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
nice hacky column by Wojo
Zambrano didn't have "little" anger issues, as Soto said, but very public ones. And does anybody really think Zambrano's outbursts, usually directed at showing up his teammates, were limited to what Cubs fans saw on the field?
Does he bother to be a journalist and get some answers to the question he posed? Nope. Just dangeles it like he went to the school of Jay Mariotti writing.
also video preview from ESPN that couldn't get the lineup right. Eduardo Perez, or whatever producers told him to say, doesn't seem to like the Cubs.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
hacky is being nice...i feel like finding the guy and pushing him into a mud puddle in front of his mom.

olney on twitter sez Angels looking for a left-handed bat. I'm sure they could use another outfielder.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
So, can we safely say that John Gaub will be only a memory in the trade for DeRo after March 19?
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
... trying to hit the broad side of the clubhouse, and it wasn't pretty.
You have a helluva sense of humor, PHIL!
I had asked you on several occasions over the last year what was up with Gaub, as on the occasions I had seen him pitch as he was pretty dreadful.
I guess at one time he showed promise?
If its a telethon, we gotta get Jerry Lewis in on it.
Since Stevens, in my estimation, will not amount to much either, the three-for-one deal of Gaub/Stevens/Archer for De Rosa, was really just DeRo for Archer. And now as we know Garza takes his place in what is currently a one-year deal, right?
I wonder, if you were to calculate the amount of wasted time spent by staff trying to train these two untalented pitchers since December 2008, that the deal came out worse than a wash for the Cubs?
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
so much depends on what both garza and archer do at this point...and to a lesser extent hj.lee (imo, since his hitting is theriot-esque...still young, though).
so far all garza has done is save the cubs 4-6m on a pitcher of similar caliber...which given the 2011 payroll constraints is something.
it could be big win or big bleh...
-edit- before this starts a pro-archer shitstorm...or a negative-garza shitstorm...or a useless pro-chinirrioiroiroros shitstorm...
long story short, this is something probably best assessed in Oct/Nov as of now.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
Funny thing that you didn't even pick out the mentioning of Gaub as a "untalented" pitcher. I guess Dale Murphy was an untalented catcher.
One scout called Gaub the best left handed reliever in the minors prior to 2010. Catching Steve Blass disease doesn't have anything to do with talent - in fact it's probably evidence of talent.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
"prior to 2010" is the key part...up until then he was the lefty relief version of archer. now he's a big question mark.
Re: Rangers Edge Cubs 8-7
You have to keep in mind though that DeRo was simply a FA signing in the first place, he cost the Cubs nothing to acquire him other than some money. So regardless of what happens with Archer, you can almost think of the trade as HJ Lee, Chirinos and Guyer for getting 3 years of Garza's services at a below-market rate relative to similar quality pitchers. Are those three prospects worth approximately $3-$5MM in major league payroll savings? It all depends on whether Lee pans out or not.
this seems totally normal
Monique requested a restraining order against Milton on January 24th and states that while they were in New York City for New Year's Eve: "Milton cursed and yelled at me for approximately five minutes and then he grabbed a glass from off the coffee table and threw it directly at my head from across the room.

Too bad it wasn't Jacque Jones. He would have just smashed the glass at his own feet.

"The glass shattered on my head and I started to bleed..." Monique is requesting that she be given legal and physical custody of the boys, and that Milton be given visitation. She is seeking child support and cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
So he's not feeling like $30 million bucks anymore?
Hopefully, she and the kids are.

CTSteve, thanks for spelling Zimmermann correctly. We don't need another first baseman.
The media has linked Cueto and the Cubs approximately zero times this winter. I'm thinking there's just not a lot of interest there on the Cubs' part. It seems unlikely.
If the Cubs miss on Price, Grienke, and Zimmerman, they will aim for a mid-rotation starter via free agency or trade. However, I think this scenario also significantly boosts the odds that they extend Arrieta.
The Tigers are going after Zimmermann and the Red Sox will be throwing money at Price. Bringing Cueto back to the NL with the Cubs is looking like a serious possibility. Thoughts?
Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe in the financial impact to the Red Sox for not signing Jon Lester early in the free agent process:
It will be interesting to ultimately add up the cost of letting Jon Lester go.
The Red Sox botched up their negotiations with Lester in during spring training of 2014, making an initial offer of $70 million that was roughly $40 million short of what it should have been. Talks broke down and Lester was traded in July.
Wait...you're flip-flopping again?!

I also look at them. Research tires for an upgrade for awhile. After reading about tires on Sheldon Browns site went with slicks for the road.
Tread for on-road useBicycle tires for on-road use have no need of any sort of tread features; in fact, the best road tires are perfectly smooth, with no tread at all!
Unfortunately, most people assume that a smooth tire will be slippery, so this type of tire is difficult to sell to unsophisticated cyclists. Most tire makers cater to this by putting a very fine pattern on their tires, mainly for cosmetic and marketing reasons. If you examine a section of asphalt or concrete, you'll see that the texture of the road itself is much "knobbier" than the tread features of a good-quality road tire. Since the tire is flexible, even a slick tire deforms as it comes into contact with the pavement, acquiring the shape of the pavement texture, only while in contact with the road.
People ask, "But don't slick tires get slippery on wet roads, or worse yet, wet metal features such as expansion joints, paint stripes, or railroad tracks?" The answer is, yes, they do. So do tires with tread. All tires are slippery in these conditions. Tread features make no improvement in this.
I agree with 'njsteve'.
If you're only riding urban streets, go with slicks. They roll a lot better than anything with treads, therefore, making them more efficient since you don't have to work as hard to pedal.
Right now I'm using the Continental Sport Contact Road tire(700x32) on my cross/winter-training bike. It's an awesome tire.
If you're interested in it, though, I recommend going with 700X37. The 700x32 is more like 700x28.86. So I'm assuming the 37mm will be closer to 32.
Sorry I didn't answer your question.
I saw this today while lurking and decided to join the forum so that I could participate in you question. I started riding a bike in mid-March, 2012. I had an old Fuji bike and put Continental Comfort Contacts on it (26x1.50). I then bought a TREK FX 7.4 and after 650 miles, put Continental Gatorskins on it (700x32C). I have now put 1,300 miles on these. I would like to highly recommended them for your consideration. You will find them on the Continental Bicycle Tire site under Race tires. I think they are a tad bit more than the City series you are considering, but I subscribe to the adage of "the first cost is the least cost." I paid about a $30.00 premium, in total, over what a lesser tire would cost and I purchased the Continental intertubes for them as well (more money well spent). They also carry a pressure rating of 102 pounds and will use Schrader valves. I really think that they make a huge difference. I am happy to answer any questions that you might have. I love mine. Good luck.
As you're a Clydesdale,you might want to consider Vittoria Randonneurs,which have a good rep for wearing a long time. I've used them on many of my bikes;they handle great,ride well,and I've never flatted them. They also usually come with reflective sidewalls,and the 32's are available in folding bead('Pro' model) which shaves weight.

You might also give some consideration to Schwalbe Marathon Supreme. An awesome tire, even if it is a little expensive. Then, pump 'em up to max. You will like them....

I was about to ask a tire question and thought I'd add to this conversation. I'm about to order new tires for my Cannondale Quick 4. It came with 700x32 Kenda Kwik Trax and I have about 950 miles on them now. I've been running tire liners in them since 250 miles. I had 3 flats within that first 250 which prompted the tire liners and haven't had a flat since adding the liners. My front tire still has plenty of tread but the back shows a lot of wear and I'm using it as an excuse to upgrade both tires. I ride strictly pavement in an urban environment, commute to work and few days a week, and ride mainly for fitness.
I've got my eye on 3 tires. I plan on sticking with a 700 x 32.
Continental Super Sport Contact. $34 each for regular. $40 each for reflective.
Continental Gatorskins. $50 each.
Schwalbe Marathon Supreme HS. $60 each.
I think all will be an upgrade but which do you think offers the best mix of protection/speed(less rolling resistance)? Do you think I should still run liners? Also, do you think it is worth the $6 per tire on the contacts to get reflective sidewalls?
Part of me thinks just get the $34 contacts and be done with it for $68 total but the other part if me thinks I should get the best I can get within reason (around $100). Any thoughts or input about any of this would be greatly appreciated.
^^^For those tires,I'd go with the Supremes if you're willing to spend the dosh,otherwise I'd go for the Contacts. Reflective sidewalls are nice;Conti is pretty much the only manufacturer that makes you spend extra for them,pretty much because few US sellers carry them.

Keep in mind a little bit of tread is good if you have sand etc. that accumulates in your lanes.
Smooth is great for CLEAN pavement.
Those Continental City Ride look pretty good for 700x32. http://www.amazon.com/Continental-City-Cross-Hybrid-Bicycle/dp/B000NJ1PMA/ref=pd_sbs_sg_

So many decisions…

Yes. The amount of reviews on so many tires I've read and I still can't decide. What makes it hard for me is this. I want a durable tire that has low rolling resistance and that is light. However, the thought of buying an expensive tire and then getting a flat anyways would drive me crazy. To make matters worse, I also started considering a totally slick tire such as the Schwalbe Kojak.
Since I ride only when it's dry usually I think a slick would be fine. Also, these are light enough where I could add liners and still me lighter than most tires. I'd have to go up to 700x35 for these.
or go with the thickslicks. I'd have to go down to 700x28 for these.
For as much as an amateur as I am, it's ridiculous how much time it is taking me to decide.
I like the Continental Travel Contacts in 700x37. Favorite all around 700c tire ever, here.
Then again, the Schwable Marathon Plus looks great too. http://www.amazon.com/Schwalbe-Marat...I1SWA52EIM15IF
I used to get a flat ever 2.5 days, riding 40 miles a day.............. Since switching to the Schwalbe Marathon Supremes, I have not had a flat in THREE YEARS! True! Yes, I have picked hitchikers out of the tire, but they never got thru.
They are very sure footed, and inspire confidence, look good, and ride very nicely. The reflex sidewall is very reflective. I also put Schwalbe tubes in them, and they seem to hold air better than any tire/tube I have ever used in my 67 year life.
My Supremes, a 40 on the rear for ride and capacity, and a 35 on the front for quicker steering, are awesome. I always have a new set waiting in the basement for when they need changing, just in case I have a hard time geting them. Mine are rated at 85PSI, and I pump them to 92PSI, because that's where they roll the best. I weigh 200#, and my bike is a Specialized Crosstrail, that came with 45s.
I'll never buy a different tire for this bike.
edit: that's a super price at Amazon. And I buy mine at Niagara anyway. Pull the trigger, before they are gone. I know I will. If you have room for a 32front, and a 38rear, you will love the combo of sizes. They usually measure exactly what they are labelled, sizewise.

Thanks for all the input. I just pulled the trigger on two 700x32 marathon supremes from Amazon. One last question. I've seen people say they ordered different/new tubes with their new tires. Is this necessary? I'm running regular bontrager tubes and have a basic bell spare tube right now. But maybe it's a good idea to put brand spanking new tubes while I'm mounting the new tires. So, specific size/brand to further extend reliability with these tires?
I wouldn't bother with new tubes.
Maybe I'm just cheap, but I consider it a waste of money replacing your tubes when you replace your tires. You're then left with spare tubes that you'll call 'back-up' tubes, but then you'll replace your tires again and buy another set of tubes. That'll leave you with four "back-up" tubes.
Every time I replaced my tires I just leave the tubes. I've ridden thousands of miles on a set of tubes without serious punctures or blow outs. Once or twice I've had pinch flats. I patch the tube, and back in goes.
From my experience the tube will outlive the tire if you replace the tire when it's time to.
My tires came in today(thanks Amazon Prime) and thought I would post them here. 700x32 Marathon Supremes and I ended up sticking with my existing tubes for now. Just put them on and have only ridden around the block since it's a little late but they seem super smooth. Can't wait to go for a lengthy ride tomorrow. I must say that the reflective sidewall is pretty awesome on this tire. I used the camera's flash to show it off a little.
Here's a nice comparison shot with my old stock tire(Kenda Kwik Trax) still on the back. The reflective sidewall stands out just a tad.
No flash.
Thanks for all the input guys. Also, sorry if I thread jacked but I thought it made more sense to post in a thread that was already discussing the topic rather than creating a new one.
Nice bike! I was wondering why you decided on a bike with flat bars instead of drops since you said you are riding on pavement only. Is it a shorter commute or you just feel safer upright? I'm trying to decide between a cyclocross with drop bars and something like what you have.
I went with a flat bar(riser bars really) because I ride in an area with rough streets. I don't feel that I needed to go as far as getting a mountain bike but feel a road bike with drops wouldn't last long. My commute is about 8 miles and I do feel safer more upright. I did a 20 mile ride yesterday and a 40 mile ride this morning around New Orleans. No flats or any issues. Satisfied with the tires so far. They definitely roll better than my stock tires and I think my average speed increased by about 1-1.5 mph. It was hard to tell with all the wind. The tires say max psi is 95. I'm running them at 90psi.
Here's the route of my 40 mile ride today.
On a side note, this put me over 1,000 miles on this bike.

Thanks for all the info. How much did the tires cost? I'm glad you're loving your ride!
The tires were $60 each shipped from Amazon. Free shipping and no tax.
Yea, it took me a while to convince myself to spend that kind of money. The reviews were just so good.
did anyone mention the Randonneur Hyper tires? I think in 2013, they are called Voyager Hyper now. these are a folder 120tpi tire that comes in 700 x 32, 37 and I think 40. really supple sidewall, great ride, long wearing tread compound, light, and decent flat protection (the rando pros have thicker flat protection but weigh 100g more each).
I paid $50 each at my LBS for the reflective folding ones in 32c.

We were originally advised by the vet during a pre-purchase exam, to keep the 2 front shoes on lena due to an old injury that could be affected if they were removed. But, when the farrier looked at it, he thought it was best to take the shoes off. Ever since then, she seems to trip more, and she is stubborn.
The other day, after she got worked out (shes not used to it, and was really tired).. I untacked her, and attempted to lead her down the road to go for a little walk. But, she stopped in a spot on the pavement, and wouldnt move at all. I pulled on her for like 3mins, and she refused. Then, she lifted her left back leg a little in the air and rested it. It looked like it was hurting or something... Then, I turned her around and started walking, she kept tripping.. out of no where, there was no bumps or rocks on the road. I tied her up and looked at her feet, but I don't really know what to look for, and they seemed fine.
I was told that when the horses ankle is hot/warm, that indicates something is wrong? They all were warm, so I think it might have been from all the stress from the lesson.
After that, when I tried to lead her away from the crossties, she wouldnt budge... at all. I pulled on her for over 5 mins and she wouldnt move.
I think it might be her stubbornness, but I am not sure if something else is wrong.
Now, she doesnt do that anymore, but she does take effort to get moving sometimes.
But the weird thing is.. that when I am riding her.. walk/trot/canter, she doesnt trip or anything (i ride in an arena with sawdust in it).
When I lead her out of the arena, on cement/rocks, she trips and looks awkward when walking.
The next time the farrier is out, I am going to ask him to put shoes on, as I think she might be sensitive on the pavement/rocky surfaces.
What do you think? Also, if you think stubborness is part of the issue, how do I get her to stop being so stubborn when I handle her on the ground?
