First off, my teacher says that when he was brought in, it was obvious to her that he did not know how to lunge. She had to teach him, but he learned very quickly (yeah, that's a mysterious gap in his training if he was used for vaulting). At any rate, he's the first horse I've ever lunged & he makes it easy for me.
Is your trainer certain he was more than green broke? Most of my experience with green horses comes from when I was horse shopping, but I did test ride one horse with only 60-90 days under saddle who sounds like what you're describing- loves to canter, very quick turns, does not like to stop If I hadn't had a grab strap on my saddle, he definitely would have dumped me.

Derivation of Ancient Egyptian Faience Core and Glaze Materials
Stocks, Denys A., Antiquity
An essential ingredient of the lovely blues in ancient Egyptian materials - faience, glazes, frits - is copper. How did the knowledge of that copper use arise? There is a telling congruence with Egyptian techniques in drilling stone artefacts, and the characteristics of the powder drilled out as waste.
An enigma of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship is the origin of the materials used for faience cores (bodies) and glazes. Ancient Egyptian dynastic craftsmen used copper tubular drills, with sand abrasive, to excavate stone artefacts (Petrie 1917: 45-6; Lucas 1962: 74; Reisner 1931: 180); the waste powders, rich in quartz, also contained copper from the drills. Did ancient craftsmen use these for other purposes? This article proposes that the powders make faience cores and blue glazes and, perhaps, blue frits. To explore this possibility, the characteristics of ancient faience are compared with the microstructure and composition of experimentally made ceramics.
Ancient faience: a brief description
Faience was employed to make jewellery, statuettes, small vessels and tiles, which were mostly blue or green. The first ancient Egyptian glazed material, found by Brunton & Caton-Thompson (1928: 27-8, 41) in grave deposits dated to the Badarian culture of Upper Egypt (c. 5500-4000 BC), consisted of carved and drilled steatite beads covered by a transparent and glossy glaze. It appears clear in cross-section, but in looking directly at the surface the optical effect is of translucency (Vandiver & Kingery 1986: 20, [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURES 1, 3 OMITTED]). Glazes containing malachite (a copper ore) produced the greenish-blue colour which imitated the rarer lapis lazuli and turquoise (Vandiver & Kingery 1986: 20).
About 4000 BC, stone cores were replaced by ceramic ones, made mainly from finely divided (ground) sand, but occasionally of comparatively coarser sand, which was modelled into shapes; cores also contain minor amounts of lime and either natron - a naturally occurring alkaline mixture of sodium salts, carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride and sulphate - or plant ashes. Often very friable, they are frequently white, or practically white in colour, but can be tinted brown, grey, yellow, sometimes very slightly blue or green (Lucas 1962: 157; Kaczmarczyk & Hedges 1983: 123; Vandiver & Kingery 1986: 20). In the core, minute angular particles of quartz are bonded together by varying amounts of interstitial glass, and covered with an alkali-based glaze, typically coloured blue by copper (Tite 1986: 39; 1987: 23-4).
A summary by Vandiver (1982: 167) of a composite range of chemical analyses of the body shows 92-99% Si[O.sub.2] (silicon dioxide), 15% CaO (calcium oxide), 0.5-3% [Na.sub.2]O (sodium oxide), with small quantities of CuO (copper oxide), [Al.sub.2][O.sub.3] (aluminium oxide), Ti[O.sub.2] (titanium dioxide), MgO (magnesium oxide) and [K.sub.2]O (potassium oxide). Most authorities accept faience firing temperatures of 800-1000 [degrees] C (Vandiver 1983: A10-11, A26ff). A significant number of ancient Egyptian faience cores (Tite & Bimson 1986: 69) show that many particle sizes are less than 50 [[micro]meter] diameter; even when coarser-grained quartz (100-200 [[micro]meter] diameter) predominates, significant amounts of fine-grained quartz, less than 50 [[micro]meter] diameter, are still present (Tite & Bimson 1986: 69). Dynastic cores, moulded, or modelled, from a stiff paste (Petrie 1909: 115-16, 118-19), were glazed by efflorescence (the firing of a core containing a glazing component, which partially rises to the surface during drying and fuses to become the glaze), or by cementation (the firing of a dry core buried in a glazing powder), or by direct application of a glazing slurry to a dry core's surface before firing.
The glaze consists of a soda-lime-silica mixture (Vandiver 1982: 167), generally 60-70% silica, 16-20% soda and 3-5% lime (Tite pers. comm. …

Right-wing media have repeatedly exploited the November 13 ISIS-led terror attacks in Paris to stoke fears about Syrian refugees posing a terror threat in the U.S., falsely claiming that the United States lacks a rigorous refugee vetting system, that most Syrian refugees are adult males "of fighting age," and that, like the attacks in Paris, the Boston Marathon bombing and Ft. Hood shooting were perpetrated by refugees.
Right-wing media seized on the November 13 terror attacks in Paris to make at least five false or misleading claims about Syrian refugees, past statements from Hillary Clinton, President Obama's strategy against ISIS, the release of Guantanamo Bay detainees, and how guns in civilian hands could have supposedly changed the outcome of the attacks.
Political reporters and media critics chided Fox Business for its handling of the November 10 Republican presidential debate, pointing out that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) faced few substantive questions and was allowed to completely avoid controversial topics like immigration reform and his personal finances.
Despite the crowded field of Republican presidential candidates, conservative talk radio seem unified on their favorite: Donald Trump.
Thanks to talk radio, Buzzfeed News' Rosie Gray noted in her August 27 article "The Real Media Machine Behind Trump: Conservative Talk Radio," "you can almost listen to pro-Trump News all day." Gray pointed how "some of the biggest names in conservative talk radio -- Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, and Savage -- have praised Trump and his bashing of the politically correct left and Republican establishment":
Unlike cable news, conservative talk radio speaks directly to the disaffected conservative base fueling Trump's rise. Rush Limbaugh's is still the most-listened-to talk radio program in the country, pulling in 13 and a quarter million weekly listeners, according to estimates in Talkers magazine, an industry publication (Limbaugh himself has estimated it in the past at 20 million). Talkers puts Sean Hannity in second, with 12.5 million. Mark Levin ties with Glenn Beck (a Trump critic) for fourth, with 7 million. Savage has more than 5 million, according to Talkers' estimates.
And if you're someone who listens to a lot of talk radio, you can go from Ingraham to Limbaugh to Hannity or Savage to Levin in a day and hear nary a word of displeasure with Trump.
Though many hosts have avoided a formal endorsement, they've heaped praise on the candidate and signaled to their listeners that Trump is their guy.
Indeed, Limbaugh has spent the summer praising Trump for tapping into the base Republicans need to win and for his "ability to illuminate" issues. Hannity has lauded Trump as "impressive and refreshing," while Ingraham has claimed he resonates with voters because he's willing to say what "no one else is saying."
It's not mere compliments spewing from talk radio -- the conservative pundits are championing Trump's offensive and dangerous proposals. And as Gray noted, "[i]f Rush Limbaugh or Mark Levin or Sean Hannity or Laura Ingraham decide that birthright citizenship is going to be a big issue, then lo, it becomes the issue of the week, or month." She went on:
And right now, Trump's embrace of hardline immigration ideas like ending birthright citizenship matches up perfectly with the policies that some of these hosts have been promoting for some time. The Trump-inspired debate over immigration is allowing them to mainstream ideas that once didn't have much purchase, the birthright citizenship question being a notable recent example. Both Levin and Limbaugh have seized on a quote by Sen. Jacob Howard, the original sponsor of the Citizenship Clause, that they're using to bolster their case that the 14th amendment doesn't guarantee citizenship to the children of people in the country illegally. Laura Ingraham has also referenced it.
Limbaugh has bragged that Trump's smear of Mexican immigrants as "rapists" and criminals is similar to what he's been saying on the radio for years. On birthright citizenship, Limbaugh applauded Trump's call to end the constitutional right, saying Trump "has people standing up and cheering." Hannity and Levin joined forces to declare that "Trump was right" on the 14th Amendment.
The praise should come as no surprise, as Trump's call to end birthright citizenship is itself taken from right-wing talk radio talking points. For years, Ingraham and Levin have been demanding an end to birthright citizenship, which Levin dismissed as a "nut-job policy" and Ingraham attacked as "nonsense."
Right-wing media figures jumped to the false conclusion that 305 Clinton emails contained classified information after the State Department announced that those emails were under review by intelligence agencies. In reality, it is not yet clear how many of the emails, if any, contained classified material, and such reviews are "common in large FOIA requests that involve documents from multiple agencies."
BuzzFeed News reported that Breitbart.com may be accepting "financial backing" from GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump in exchange for "fawning headlines," according to sources inside the conservative outlet.
Trump has received mixed reviews following the first GOP primary debate -- though declared one of the winners of the night, mainstream and conservative media alike have condemned his subsequent attacks on Fox News host and debate moderator Megyn Kelly.
Within the conservative media war over Trump, Breitbart.com has consistently taken his side, devoting numerous front page headlines to hyping Trump's excuses that his attacks on Kelly were justified and taken out of context. The outlet has long been giving Trump credit for sparking the debate over illegal immigration after he deemed Mexican immigrants "rapists" and criminals, while the GOP candidate has seemingly gleaned several of his talking points from Breitbart.com, such as the myth of 34 million undocumented immigrants and his notorious birther claims.
Now, four sources at Breitbart.com have reportedly "complained since at least last year that the company's top management was allowing Trump to turn Breitbart into his own fan website," according to an August 9 article by BuzzFeed News, calling their employer's fawning over Trump "despicable" and "embarrassing":
Inside the most pro-Trump news outlet on the right, some employees say the billionaire candidate has provided financial backing in exchange for fawning headlines -- a charge management strongly denies.
According to four sources with knowledge of the situation, editors and writers at the outlet have privately complained since at least last year that the company's top management was allowing Trump to turn Breitbart into his own fan website -- using it to hype his political prospects and attack his enemies. One current editor called the water-carrying "despicable" and "embarrassing," and said he was told by an executive last year that the company had a financial arrangement with Trump. A second Breitbart staffer said he had heard a similar description of the site's relationship with the billionaire but didn't know the details; and a third source at the company said he knew of several instances when managers had overruled editors at Trump's behest. Additionally, a conservative communications operative who works closely with Breitbart described conversations in which "multiple writers and editors" said Trump was paying for the ability to shape coverage, and added that one staffer claimed to have seen documentation of the "pay for play."
Breitbart.com's senior staff denied the charges, telling Buzzfeed, "We have no financial relationship with Donald Trump as an investor, advertiser or in any other capacity at this time -- nor have we ever. The insinuation that we do -- or did -- is a lie."
Fox News contributor Erick Erickson endorsed a congressional candidate's assertion that "the homosexual movement" is "destroying America."
On July 22, Georgia Republican Jody Hice won the Republican primary to succeed Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) in the state's 10th congressional district. In the wake of Hice's victory, BuzzFeed's Andrew Kacynski highlighted 11 examples of Hice's history of inflammatory commentary on LGBT issues.
Erickson, who has endorsed Hice, responded to Kaczynski's post by tweeting that "most every conservatives [sic]" would agree with items "1, 5, 9, and maybe 10":
The passages Erickson endorsed included Hice's claim that "the homosexual movement is ... destroying America by aggressively seeking to destroy traditional families, religion, and marriages for the purpose of removing all societal moral boundaries":
The item Erickson thought most conservatives would "maybe" agree with concerned Hice's suggestion that gay people can change their sexual orientation:
Two recent stories based on faulty premises -- an Illinois Review post that falsely claimed President Obama had supported "Stand Your Ground" as an Illinois state legislator, and a since-corrected BuzzFeed report that pushed the erroneous conclusion that gun violence prevention group Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) has suffered a membership drop -- have nonetheless spread throughout the right-wing media.
The cases are not parallel -- Illinois Review is a minor conservative Illinois political blog (their Twitter handle has about 3,000 followers) whose story was too good to check for the right-wing media, while the BuzzFeed story is an unfortunate outlier for a publication that typically produces good reporting. But the articles nonetheless illustrate the first-mover problem of correcting misinformation -- once a charge is levied and begins gaining momentum it becomes difficult to stop, no matter how clearly false the claim, due to the right-wing media apparatus that will push any story considered damaging to progressives.
The basis of the July 22 BuzzFeed article was that MAIG is losing membership ("is finding it hard to keep its membership up") because it has become too strident in its recent push for stronger gun laws. But BuzzFeed's premise was false: MAIG has actually seen an increase in membership during the period the article covered, with more than 100 mayors joining the coalition during that time of increased political action.
Buzzfeed has since updated its article, making a minor change to the text "to reiterate the fact that Mayors Against Illegal Guns is gaining more members than it's losing." But of course, that "fact" completely repudiates the premise of the article.
And of course, the damage has been done. The idea of MAIG shedding membership has already spread through the conservative echo chamber. The story was picked up by a number of right-wing outlets, with Breitbart News and the New York Post stating outright that the story indicated that the group's membership was down overall. The Post article in particular, which ran under the headline "weakened arsenal," linked the group "struggling to replace ex-members" to their focus "on banning weapons and other tough new gun-control measures" (by contrast, a New York Daily News piece cited the BuzzFeed report but framed the story with the fact that the group is larger and growing faster than ever before).
These sorts of misguided stories have an impact on the political debate. One NRA activist, who acknowledged that the number of mayors leaving "isn't a huge blow to MAIG," wrote that BuzzFeed's story "isn't good for MAIG. They will have to counter this meme, and that's good for us. Make them work for it."
Buzzfeed is alleging that the gun violence prevention group Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) "is finding it hard to keep its membership up," citing a few dozen of the group's hundreds of mayors who have resigned their offices, lost re-election, or chosen to leave the group due to "political heat." In reality, the group has seen its membership increase by 17 percent during roughly the period of time the article discusses.
In suggesting that mayors would flee a group that supports stronger gun laws in the face of political pressure from the National Rifle Association, the Buzzfeed article buttresses a long-running media myth that politicians who oppose the NRA should fear being defeated for reelection.
In the article, headlined "Mayors Abandon [NYC Mayor Michael] Bloomberg's Gun Control Group," Buzzfeed called MAIG "a rare group battling in the trenches against the well-organized and deep-pocketed" NRA. The article cites four mayors who "appear not quite to have signed on for that level of political heat" and left the organization because they disagree with some of its recent policy stances. The article further stated:
According to an old version of its member list, saved on a blog dated back to late February, more than 50 mayors who were then listed on MAIG's website are no longer there. Most of the mayors whose names are no longer affiliated with the group are off the list either because they resigned or lost an election, but others have specifically asked to be removed.
BuzzFeed reached out to dozens of the replacement mayors and none of them would confirm if they planned to join the group or if they were even considering it
Buzzfeed reported halfway through the article that, according to the group's executive director, MAIG "is growing much faster than it is shrinking" -- a claim that, if true, would seem to debunk the premise of the story. After all, if the group is replacing members at a faster rate than it is losing them, the group could hardly be said to be "finding it hard to keep its membership up."
The reporter does not appear to have attempted to verify this statement, instead placing it in opposition to the balance of his reporting. But a review of membership lists published on the group's website indicates that MAIG has seen a dramatic increase in mayors choosing to affiliate with the group in recent months.
Buzzfeed did not link to the "old version of its member list" it compared to the group's current roster of affiliated mayors. But the version of the group's membership list saved to the Internet Archive on January 27 lists 857 mayors; the list currently posted on MAIG's website features 1005, an increase of 148 mayors. According to a Media Matters review, MAIG has seen its representation increase in 33 states during that period; it has held level in 6 states and decreased in 8 states.
UPDATE: Buzzfeed has updated their article, changing their original report that MAIG "is finding it hard to keep its membership up" to indicate instead that the group "is finding it hard to maintain some of its members." In a correction appended to the piece, Buzzfeed explained that the change was made "to reiterate the fact that Mayors Against Illegal Guns is gaining more members than it's losing."
Newly hired BuzzFeed D.C. editor Benny Johnson described President Obama as a "truly committed statist" with a "seedy past" and "extremist ideas" who believes "there is no God above the state" and who acts as "a celebrity-in-chief."
Analyzing the presidential campaign in the wake of the first debate, Time's Mark Halperin wrote on October 10 that Mitt Romney's sudden "rush to the center" politically had emerged as the key topic - "the central tactical issue"-- for the Barack Obama's team to address. Halperin stressed it would be a challenge for Democrats because the Romney's campaign's "brazen chutzpah knows no bounds."
How odd. At the first debate Romney had so brashly reinvented himself by shifting his position on taxation, immigration and health care away from the Republican Party, that the onus was on Obama to counter Romney's slick maneuver. In other words, Romney's flip-flops, according to Halperin, were a major problem for the Obama campaign, not for the Republican who late in the game unveiled a new political persona. (Farewell "severely conservative.")
It's also telling that on October 10, Halperin considered Romney's makeover into a moderate to be the campaign's dominant issue. Yet one week earlier on the night of the first debate when Halperin graded both participants, the pundit made no reference to Romney's "rush to the center." In real time, Halperin heaped praise on Romney's style "(Started strong, level, and unrattled -- and strengthened as he went along") as well as his substance ("He clearly studied hard.")
Final grade, Romney: A-
Between the first debate and October 10, Romney's brazen flip-flops were not subject to any serious critique from Time's political team. What coverage Romney received for altering his campaign positions (aka his "tack toward the political center") mostly revolved around how conservative activists reacted to Romney's sudden embrace of moderate rhetoric. (They're totally fine with it.) Time was much less interested in what the about-faces said about Romney's candidacy, his character or what his presidency might look like.
The fact that the Republican candidate had radically altered his positions on core domestic issues just one month before Election Day was not treated as a campaign evolution that reflected poorly on Romney. To the contrary, it was largely portrayed as a savvy move by the Republican.
Time's soft peddling of Romney's broad reinvention was typical of how the Beltway press has politely covered the candidate's latest chameleon turn.
Trying to ignite a controversy by fabricating a quote from an Obama campaign deputy, members of the conservative press on Thursday lashed out at Stephanie Cutter for something she didn't say about the terrorist attacks on the United States embassy in Benghazi.
The gotcha attack received a crucial early boost from a BuzzFeed reporter who mischaracterized what Cutter said while appearing on CNN yesterday.
Pressed about key questions that remain about the embassy attack last month and what the security status was on the ground in Benghazi when four American were killed, Cutter noted on CNN that the topic had become politicized [emphasis added]:
In terms of the politicization of this -- you know, we are here at a debate, and I hope we get to talk about the debate -- but the entire reason this has become the political topic it is, it's because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. It's a big part of their stump speech. And it's reckless and irresponsible what they're doing.
Cutter clearly stated that she believed the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate had become a partisan political issue in the U.S. because Republicans were making it one during the campaign season.
That's not exactly a novel observation. As Republicans prepared to hold a recess hearing this week into the attack, a New York Times published an article headlined, "Before Hearings on Libya Attack, Charges of Playing Politics." And the paper's editors explained that they kept coverage of the hearing off the front-page, in part, because the issue had become so "politicized." (Fox News has led that "scandal" charge for weeks).
Romney himself shocked many observers when, as the Libya crisis was still unfolding, the candidate accused the Obama of sympathizing with "those who waged the attacks.'
"The conventional wisdom emerged in Washington almost immediately on Wednesday: Mitt Romney's handling of the violence in Egypt and Libya was a disaster," CBS News soon reported. The article quoted a prominent Republican strategist saying that Romney's reaction had suggested his "first instinct is to try to score political points."
Cutter pointing out the issue had evolved into a "political topic" isn't controversial or remotely outrageous. So the conservative media embellished the meaning of Cutter's remarks. They invented a controversy and ginned up the faux outrage by insisting Obama's deputy campaign manager said the Libya attack is only of importance, is only an issue at all, because of Republicans.
Cutter: Benghazi Is Only An Issue 'Because of Romney and Ryan'
Stephanie Cutter: Mitt Romney is "Entire Reason" Benghazi Attacks are a National Issue
Obama Spokesman Stephanie Cutter: Benghazi Is Only an Issue Because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan
Obama Campaign Official Stephanie Cutter: Benghazi Terrorist Attack 'Only an Issue because of Romney and Ryan'
Michelle Malkin's Twitchy:
Appalling disgrace: Stephanie Cutter says 'Benghazi Only An Issue Because of Romney and Ryan'
Note that several of the headlines included the phrase 'only an issue' in quotation marks, indicating it's a direct quote from Cutter. (Twitchy headline: "Cutter Says"). But it's not a direct quote because Cutter didn't say that. Instead, conservatives seemed be quoting a tweet from a reporter and then pretending it was a Cutter quote.
The tweet came from BuzzFeed's Andrew Kaczynski who tweeted an inaccurate description of Cutter's CNN appearance:
That wasn't accurate. And "is only an issue" represented Kacynski's interpretation of what Cutter said, not what she actually said. In subsequent tweets, Kaczynski inserted more accurate language, but conservatives preferred his original, off-the-mark "only an issue" telling of the tale and used to attack Cutter.
If Obama's deputy campaign manager thought the attack on the U.S. embassy were only an issue today because of the Romney and Ryan, she likely would have said so. Instead, she superficially said it became a political issue (a partisan issue) because Romney and Ryan were campaigning on it, which is true.
BuzzFeed's Ben Smith only needed 40 minutes of a 90-minute debate to pick the "winner."
Mitt Romney, trailing in the polls, needed to prove tonight that he could stand on stage with President Barack Obama as an equal and a plausible president of the United States.
He did that in the crucial first 40 minutes of Wednesday night's debate, addressing Obama respectfully, even warmly -- but then tangling with a sometimes hazy and professorial Obama on taxes and deficits.
"You don't just pick the winners and losers -- you pick the losers," he told Obama of his energy investments, sliding time and time again into a second person singular address calculated to level the rhetorical playing field.
Calling a game in the middle of the fourth inning isn't standard practice in any league.
UPDATE: Conservatives like Sean Hannity quickly began highlighting Smith's early call of a Romney victory:
Today during a Univision forum, President Obama explained the lessons he'd learned during four years in office, telling moderators Jorge Ramos and Maria Elena Salines: "The most important lesson I've learned is that you can't change Washington from the inside. You can only change it from the outside. That's how I got elected, and that's how the big accomplishments like health care got done, was because we mobilized the American people to speak out."
Buzzfeed reported on Obama's remarks, focusing on the phrase "you can't change Washington from the inside" and claiming that Obama "seemed to undercut a central premise of his 2008 election, and even to raise questions about the urgency of re-electing the president. The comment reinforces the perception that Obama could not accomplish what he set out to do."
That's completely backwards from what Obama actually said. Look at it again, watch the video -- the president credited the outside pressure from Americans as key to the big changes he has enacted while in office (i.e. health care reform). It's a fairly straightforward political message: change happens in Washington when Americans get involved and pressure political leaders to act.
How that "seems to undercut a central premise of his 2008 election" or "reinforces the perception that Obama could not accomplish what he set out to do" -- he cited specific accomplishments and went on to say that he planned to use this lesson as a strategy to achieve more in a presumptive second term -- is anyone's guess.
But the overriding urge seems to be to transform this into a "gaffe," stripping or ignoring context where necessary.
Here's the video and transcript of Obama's remarks.
OBAMA: The most important lesson I've learned is that you can't change Washington from the inside. You can only change it from the outside. That's how I got elected, and that's how the big accomplishments like health care got done, was because we mobilized the American people to speak out. That's how we were able to cut taxes for middle-class families. So something that I'd really like to concentrate on in my second term is being in a much more constant conversation with the American people so that they can put pressure on Congress to help move some of these issues forward.

With any luck most hunters by now have a freezer full of wild game.
Montanas general big game season comes to a close Sunday, which means hunters can soon shift their attention from harvesting meat to preparing and eating it.
Here is a collection of recipes to help put that freezer full of meat to good use.
These meatballs make a great hors doeuvres with a sweet, tangy sauce. It is adapted from a recipe from Taste of Home.
½ medium onion, finely chopped
½ cup uncooked instant rice
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
1 pound ground venison
¾ cup water
1⁄3 cup packed brown sugar
1⁄3 cup ketchup
1⁄3 cup tomato sauce
1 tbsp. dijon mustard
2 tsp. paprika
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine the onion, rice, salt and pepper. Add the venison and mix well. Shape into 1½-inch balls. Place in a greased 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish. Combine the remaining ingredients; pour over meatballs.
Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes.
This slow-cooker recipe makes for a quick and easy meal. It is adapted from the blog The Lemon Bowl.
1 pound venison steak, cut in cubes
1 pound green beans, fresh or frozen, trimmed and cut in 2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. nutmeg
Pinch ground cloves
Pinch ground all spice
1 tsp. sea salt
½ tsp. pepper
Place venison, green beans, onion, garlic and tomatoes in slow cooker. Stir together cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, all spice, salt and pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture over slow cooker ingredients.
Cook on low heat for eight hours. Serve over rice with dollop of plain yogurt.
This recipe was adapted from Field and Stream.
2-3 whole duck breasts
4 tsp. sesame seeds
½ cup root beer
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tbsp. ketchup
1 tsp. grated lemon zest
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
Combine the root beer, brown sugar, ketchup, lemon zest, and mustard in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens enough to coats the back of a spoon.
Heat a large pan over high heat until very hot. Pat the duck breasts dry with a paper towel and lay them skin-side down in the pan. Reduce the heat slightly, to medium-high, and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes. Flip the meat and generously brush with the root beer glaze. Cook for 2 minutes, or until just medium rare. Flip again, brush the meat side with the glaze, and remove to a cutting board. Cover with foil and allow to rest about 5 to 8 minutes.
While the meat cooks, place the sesame seeds in a small pan over medium heat. Shaking the pan occasionally, cook until the seeds turn golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Before serving, pour any remaining glaze onto the breasts and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
4 venison or elk bratwursts (sausages also work)
1 pound potatoes and/or sweet potatoes, washed and chopped (peeled if desired)

Hi ladies! My husband's job is relocating to CVG and we will be moving our 4 kids there this spring. I was looking for some help on where to begin our search for housing. The older kids are school aged so that is a huge consideration! Thank you for any help!
Relocating to NKY~help!
my twins are only 3 1/2 years old, so I don't know much about the school systems, but there are a few areas that are better off with location/easy access to everything needed. Fort Thomas in Campbell County and I do know that two of it's elementary schools (Johnson Elem and Moyer Elem) rank in the top ten in the state of Kentucky. Now in Kenton County, the Fort Wright, Fort Mitchell, Villa Hills, Lakeside Park, Crestview Hills areas are pretty nice and is where I would move if we could ever sell our house. Also, I know there are three local high schools with pretty good reputations as well (Beechwood, Highlands and Walton-Verona).
Hope you find some good information in your searches and some other local moms help you out too. I've heard lots of wonderful things about some of the private/catholic schools, but being that I could never afford them, I've never really looked into them either.

boone county schools are amazing (union, florence, hebron, burlington). my husband went thru all his schooling there. his mom works at mann elementary in union and it is a very nice, top notch school. i'm pretty sure that boone county schools are one of if not the best overall districts in the state, and also the fastest growing. they are constantly building new schools to keep up with the influx of kids. as far as housing, i'm not sure what your money situation is, but like anywhere, certain areas are a bit pricier then others. as far as boone county goes, union is pricier. hebron is closest to cvg but it's kind of out there, same with burlington. they are more country like settings, but there are also subdivisions and only a few minutes from malls, restuarants, etc. i personally prefer florence. it's sort of the heart of boone county. it's where you will find the mall road district. independance is hit or miss. there are parts that are closer to the florence area that are nice, but there are parts that are closer to the covington area that arent as nice- just my opinion. it's also further away from cvg, but still an easy drive, about 15 minutes depending on where specifically. if you are looking for cheaper places, erlanger and elsmere are right outside florence, in kenton county. feel free to email me personally at email@example.com if you have more questions (i'm not on here much). like i said, my husband lived in boone county pretty much his entire life. since being together we have lived in erlanger, elsmere, florence and hebron.
Highlands school district includes all the schools in Ft. Thomas and they are all award winning "Bluebird Schools Of Excellence" It's in the top 500 public schools in the country and 5th in the state of KY.

I graduated in 2006 from Notre Dame Academy & grew up in NKY area. I am 24 years old so I can probably give you some good insight on the area and schools. Ryle which is the union area is a good public school, just look up Triple Crown it's one of the richest subdivisions in the area. Stay away from the Ludow, Bromley, Covington, and Newport areas (in my opinion they're low end).
Independence is known as an up & coming area. They're building one of the biggest Kroger's there. That area is nice if you like more of a back roads feel. What kind of home are you looking for & what kind of area?
Thank you for the input! I don't even know what Kroger's is! I'd like a four bedroom home seeing as we have so many kids! Right now we are in a subdivision of colonials and we like it. I'm not sure that we want to be too far away from shopping but we don't want to be in an urban area either. We have no idea what to expect as we've never even been to Kentucky. We are hoping to come out soon. We really want to live in a nice area that is not super pricey. My husband's friends keep telling him that as soon as the realtors find out we are from the Northeast they are going to try to take advantage.
Are the schools run by individual towns or counties? Everyone always mentions counties and although we have them here, they are never discussed in terms of schools.
Independence is really out there. If you want to be close to Cincinnati and basically civilation, stay away. Also you know you can move to Cincinnati since it's right there across the river.

I live in Independence and love it. I can get to Cincinnati in about 20 minutes. We are in the Taylor Mill school district and have been very happy there - my oldest is in 2nd grade. Kenton County also has open enrollment, so if you want to enroll in a different school within the county and they have room you just have to provide transportation. I certainly am in 'civilization'...I can get pizza delivered and everything!
but I play one on TV
They have pizza delivery?!? LOL! We're going out next week (I think) and I am still unsure of where to even start our search. Is there a big difference between Boone and Kenton counties?

This video is a masterpiece in my opinion - especially if you're into Japanese culture (Sachi is half-Japanese). It's just so culturally real, so bitingly satirical, so truly funny. It won awards at the now defunct Resfest in 2003, and now it's on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Give it a little while to get rolling - it starts slow and literal.

It's easy to assume that YouTube and similar hosts are open to everyone but it's not the case for a lot of professionals. We hear from people almost every day that need a way to access our videos off the web because their organizatio/school restricts access to websites like YouTube. We recently became aware of TeacherTube, which is a video sharing site that has become a workaround for educators who can't access YouTube videos on the web. Many schools may block YouTube, but allow access to... Continue Reading
Last night we shot the video for the next Common Craft Show and, as usual, we came out of the experience completely exhausted. I've always been fascinated that it takes so much out of me. In thinking about why (other than the 500 watt lights), it has become clear that it may be the same thing that makes our videos work: iteration. Everything we do on video is rehashed, rewritten, repositioned and edited all the way to the point the camera rolls (and sometimes again after). All these changes... Continue Reading
This almost seems unreal - maybe it is. Dan, a Stanford student, has a chance to make a guest post on TechCrunch about his viral video company. What does he do? He proceeds to make it stunningly clear how misguided and irresponsible his "viral video" tactics are. It reads like a manual for new media douchebaggery. Some examples:Blogs: We reach out to individuals who run relevant blogs and actually pay them to post our embedded videos. Sounds a little bit like cheating/PayPerPost, but itâ... Continue Reading
Nancy White pointed us to this awesome video. From what I gather, it's a music video for the band Field Music. Impressive. Maybe one day I'll have such mad skillz with the sharpie.
Even though the Web makes us all feel like citizens of the world, what matters is often local. Our neighborhoods and neighbors have a huge impact. There is a brand-new platform, created by Instivate, a company run by one of our long-time friends and neighbors, that aims to give every neighborhood a site for sharing local news. It's called Instant Journalist. Here's the scenario: You sign up for Instant Journalist - it has a monthly fee that's linked to the size of the site. Right off the... Continue Reading
Kevin Flaherty, the guy who runs marketing at the wiki company Wetpaint (and does killer zombie voices) invited me to the filming of Wetpaint's latest experiment: parody commercials. I had no idea what to expect, but it was awesome. It was the first time I'd been on a real set during filming. It was just like our studio at home, except this set had giant lights, real actors, a director, lots of expensive production gear and fewer whiteboards and markers. Just like it, I swear! The idea...

I while back I wrote about solving problems when they need to be solved - and it's still very applicable. With every video we continue to learn and solve new problems. In almost any video project, lighting is a huge factor we've learned so much. There are few more stark examples of our learning curve than the listing of our videos on our YouTube page. Notice the gradation of the white backgrounds: You can see, right in the listing, our learning curve. Here are a few things we... Continue Reading

In my own experiences I have found that spending time away form your parents, especially reading, is beneficial to the soul. I guess it helps me relax, and enjoy being a teenager. (Yeah I know, what teenager enjoys books?) My parents can sometimes be intense so oftentimes I venture to the property in adjacent to mine and read there. Even more now that the for sale sign has been up for quite a while.
Well it seems I didn't notice when it was taken down because while I was reading someone screamed. I shot up from the furniture cushions I had been laying on and I grabbed the book I had been reading about molecular physics. When I hipped around I saw a girl that seemed about my age. She had blonde hair and blue eyes but now they were widened with fright. She bolted for the door and stared at me once she was safely behind it. I realized that she and her family must have moved in recently and the girl was checking her new house. I was kind of curious about her and wondered how she would fit in around here. I didn't want to alarm the girl anymore than I already had so I picked up my jacket and my book. I wanted to give her some reason to think I wasn't weirdo before she came to the conclusion anyway so I looked right at her and mouthed sorry, hoping she would get the message. I wished I could tell her that I don't normally trespass on people's property like a homeless just to read, but I didn't want to scare her anymore.
After walking to my house I let myself in still thinking about what kind of a neighbor the girl was going to be. I checked to phone for messages and, of course, there was one from the lab my parents worked at. My mom voice was pleasant if you didn't listen for the signs. The slight sighs and the raising of her tone showed me that she was worried and she wanted me to be there. I sighed before walking to the bus and riding it to my parent's lab since my car was still being worked on.
They both looked relieved when they saw me. It wasn't that I my presence was required for the lab function in any way. Maybe it used to be but since I quit and started working elsewhere they seemed to have done fine without me. Quitting was one area that my parents and I will probably never agree on. I thought it was helpful in my experiences about a real workplace. Not one where everyone pressures a child and when they fail it actually affects something. This workplace was just like my old school. If you don't think of something or you think of it too late then something detrimental could happen. The boy who sits next to you could become valedictorian because you didn't understand one thing about the molecular structure of blah blah.
Being at the lab now was something of penance for being caught with that stupid beer. If I could take that mistake back then my parents might not be as anxious about the switch from my old school to Jackson. They wouldn't be as nervous about seeing Riley around me.
When I left to go to my job at smoothie place my parents reminded me of the meeting they planned to have with my principle about my standing at Jackson. with seeing the new girl and reading my book I'd managed to forget about the meeting and it brought a new wave of anxiety. Then my parents told me they'd see me a home, which is their subtle way of saying that I couldn't go anywhere. I figured I shouldn't push my luck and I went straight home after work at the smoothie place.
After talking to them for an hour and trying to be a good son I'd had enough and I crept to the basement. While going there I heard running coming my way and the muffled sound of men's voices shouting. I realized what was going on and when the figure running came nearer I grabbed it and pulled it over the wall. I realized it was a girl and let out a "umph" at her weight on top of me. We fell down the stairs and after a second I shut the doors so the cops couldn't follow us. Cops broke up the party that she had been attending and she apparently had made a run for it even though, without me, she would have caught for sure.
"What the-" the girl started to say before I shushed her.
"One sec," I said. "Just let him get by."
We heard the cops leave after checking the doors. They seemed frustrated by their inability to catch us. I wanted to reassure the person, which is kind of ironic that after saving her I wanted to prove myself trustworthy.
"I'm going to turn on a light," I said. 'Don't freak." I was trying to calm her down because I could imagine that after being caught by cops, pulled over a wall, and dumped down stairs I would be nervous. Not to mention the mysterious voice that pulled her through everything.
After turning on the flashlight I saw my new neighbor who I been expecting. I had assumed that she was the "delinquent" who I had saved at the party. I noticed that up close she was much prettier than between a glass door. Although the dim flashlight might have something to do with it.
"Hi." I said with my most assuring voice. "I'm Dave."
She didn't say anything so I decided to try a different approach.
"Sorry if I startled you," she still stared at me. "But I figured it's better to be surprised than busted."

Recap: Digimon Frontier E 25 Tomokis Lonely Battle Asuramons Trap
Tomoki has a memory of his older brothernote telling him once that he keeps saying selfish things and only thinks about himself. When Tomoki had accused his brother of being the selfish one in turn, his brother had used that to show how Tomoki had a tendency to hide behind other people rather than stand up for himself - and in anger, Tomoki said that he hated his brother.Tomoki wakes up in another strange area filled with fire, and, unable to find anyone else, resolves that his brother was wrong and that hell be able to take care of everything by himself if something happens. Hes soon after attacked by a Digimon and is too busy trying to escape to be able to spirit evolve.From outside, Bokomon looks over the large structure and reveals that the structure is actually Sephirotmonnote , one of the Ten Legendary Warriors. They see an image of Tomoki inside one of the spheres, and Bokomon says that the kids have to get out of there as fast as possible.Tomoki is saved by a cloaked Digimon who calls himself Asuramon, who explains that he was also trapped there and offers to help Tomoki look for the others. Tomoki befriends Asuramon, and Asuramon helps him out with various things under the justification that theyre friends. Tomoki has another memory of his brother, this time of him saying that once Tomoki grows older and steps out of the house, not everyones going to endear to him the way his parents do, and that he shouldnt get used to it.Kouji, meanwhile, finds himself in a forest area and is approached by a Digimon, and Kouji spirit evolves to Wolfmon. The Digimon, Karatenmon, claims that he knows everything about Kouji and demands his Spirits. Karatenmon tells Wolfmon that he can read minds, and that because of that, he can calculate his opponents moves.Tomoki tells Asuramon about his brother, and Asuramon tells him that his brother is a horrible person who doesnt deserve any sympathy. Tomoki admits that a little of it is his own fault and is a little perturbed when Asuramon suggests that someone like his brother would be better off dead, but shrugs it off. Asuramon leads them towards a volcano, but Tomoki, knowing that his friends arent that way and with the temperature too hot to continue, refuses to keep going. Asuramon demands that Tomoki go along with him to return the favors Asuramon had done for him, claiming that thats what friends do, and Tomoki disagrees, saying that friends worry for each other and dont demand selfish things. Asuramon reveals himself as the Digimon who had attacked Tomoki earlier.Karatenmon taunts Wolfmon as they fight, saying that he knows all of his opponents weaknesses, and reveals that Kouji is afraid of having friends for fear of having to part with them all eventually. Wolfmon declares that he already knew that and had already decided that he doesnt need any friends or family; upon hearing family, Karatenmon brings up Kouji having issues with his mother and says that hes pitiful for having problems with not only friends but also family. Wolfmon, angered, slide evolves to Garmmon, who moves so fast that Karatenmon cant do much to defend himself even after being able to predict Garmmons attacks. Garmmon defeats Karatenmon, slide evolves back to Wolfmon, and scans Karatenmon, causing Karatenmon to disappear. Garmmon reverts to Kouji, but Karatenmons words about him being lonely continue to cut into him. As an exit to another area opens and he goes through it, another one of Sephirotmons spheres goes dark.Tomoki, now knowing that Asuramon had only been after the Spirits from the start, is told by Asuramon that nobody would become his friend otherwise. Tomoki responds by spirit evolving to Chakmon and attacking Asuramon, but his ice attacks are ineffective against Asuramons fire attacks. Asuramon demands Tomokis Spirits as proof of their friendship, declaring himself as the only friend Tomoki will have, but Tomoki declares that Asuramon was never his friend and Asuramon responds by saying that Tomoki will never have friends.Tomoki remembers what his brother had told him and realizes that his brother had been saying that not out of a desire to hurt him but hoping that Tomoki would stop relying on others to do things for him. Declaring that he has friends, Chakmon slide evolves to Blizzarmon and teases Asuramon before quickly defeating him, slide evolving back to Chakmon, and scanning Asuramon, reducing him to nothingness.Tomoki decides that he wants to tell his brother that he loves him when he gets back, and walks through the exit that opens in front of him. Another one of Sephirotmons spheres go dark and Tomoki finds himself finally having escaped, the exit having led him outside Sephirotmon.
- Alien Sky: As with Sephirotmon's other areas, the skies of the areas shown in the episode have Technicolor swirling patterns. The sky in the area the Tomoki is trapped in uses different shades of red with some purple and black patches here and there. Takuya is trapped in an area that uses dark blues and light yellows for both the sky and the landscape. The sky of the area Kouji is trapped in uses various shades of blue. Izumi is trapped in an area with an ordinary blue sky, but the clouds make the same patterns as the skies of other areas..
- Berserk Button: Karatenmon probably shouldn't have mentioned Kouji's family problems.
- Bird People: Karatenmon is a humanoid crow.
- Blade Spam: Blizzarmon finishes off Asuramon with Avalanche Step.
- Breaking Speech: Karatenmon tries to use Kouji's home life against him. It doesn't work as planned.
- Convection Schmonvection: While in his Digimon forms, Tomoki isn't bothered by the heat at all, even when he froze himself into an icicle overlooking a river of molten lava to make Asuramon fall in. The heat does bother him in human form, but only as much as, say, the heat of a desert at noon would.
- Dual Wielding: Karatenmon.
- Eye Beams: Wolfmon is shown to have this ability, though he doesn't land any hits with it.
- Eye Catch: Tomoki and Koujis variants are used for this episode.
- Ghibli Hills: Izumi is trapped in one of these.
- Interface Spoiler: Despite being named, Asuramon doesnt get a Digimon Anaylzer screen until after he reveals his uncloaked form. Its a pretty good indication for a sharp-eyed viewer early on that Asuramon hasnt revealed his true nature.
- Lethal Lava Land: The area Tomoki is trapped in.
- Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Asuramon.
- Off Model/Stock Footage: Blizzarmon's battle with Asuramon uses the same animation for Avalanche Step as during his battle with Petaldramon, including Blizzarmon concealing himself in the glare of the sun before attacking. Sephirotmon's internal environments have no sun.
- Playing with Fire: Asuramon.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Karatenmon calls Kouji out on his loner tendencies to demoralize him while Asuramon turns Tomoki's self-centeredness against him as an attempt at manipulation.
- Significant Anagram: Several fans have pointed out that Tomokis brothers dub name, Yutaka, is an anagram of Takuya. Its symbolic!
- Spam Attack: Asuramon's Asura God Fist attack involves throwing fireballs continuously. Chackmon uses his snowball cannon for a similar attack with snowballs.
- Wild Wilderness: Kouji is trapped in an area that looks like a fairly pristine evergreen forest.

I've never disliked any of my previous 7 phones, they have all been reliable, worth the money and with useful features.
I wouldn't say any of these things about the LG Cookie. I've had to send it back twice as the screen kept freezing, slowing down and then switching off, only to turn itself back on an hour or so later.
As many people have mentioned the battery life really is pathetic, far worse than any phone I've ever had!
The touchscreeen system is also very basic, there is a delay between your touch and the phones reaction which means when texting words get missed out, and have a habit of deleting themselves on predicitve text if u don't use the suggested word.
overall I haven't been at all impressed with the phone, the only positive is the fast action camera, although this is again let down by the lack of colours and low photo quality. Definately not worth the money...

HCCA 2013 Compliance Staff Salary Survey available online
Minneapolis, Minn.---August 15, 2013— The 2013 Compliance Staff Salary Survey data, just released by the Health Care Compliance Associations (HCCA), offers a comprehensive look into the health care industry's compliance department staff annual salaries. With this data, health care organizations and individuals may now compare their salary with peers.
"The data in the survey demonstrates the maturity of the compliance profession. We are seeing that salaries are related, as they should be, to organizational and program size, as well as the level of the individual compliance professional," said HCCA Chief Executive Officer Roy Snell.
According to the data, compliance professionals holding the Certified in Healthcare Compliance (CHC) certification tended to earn higher average compensation compared to those with other certifications or no certifications. However, this was not the case for Vice President level survey respondents, due to their concentration in privately held and smaller organizations, where compensation tends to be lower.
Compensation for compliance professionals with CHC certification with the title of 'Director' was about 20 percent higher than peers with no certification, those with 'Manager' title was 23 percent higher than peers with no certification, compensation for compliance professionals with the title of 'Assistant' or 'Specialist' and CHC certification were seven percent higher than their peers without certification. When compared with peers having another kind of certification, compensation for CHC certified 'Directors' was 22.57 percent higher, while CHC-certified 'Managers' was 11 percent higher and CHC-certified 'Assistants' or Specialists' was 6.55 percent higher.
The CHC certification is by far the most popular certification according to the data. The survey reveals that 83 percent of respondents with the title of 'Vice President' hold the CHC certification, as does 73 percent of those with 'Director' title, 61 percent with 'Manager' title, and 57 percent with 'Assistant or Specialist' title.
"The numbers show that employers value compliance professionals with the demonstrable level of expertise that comes from earning the Certified in Healthcare Compliance (CHC) ® designation," said Snell.
About the survey
The data is aggregated to help individuals and organizations compare their own data to the results of similar operations; these groupings include, but not limited to: title/level, compliance responsibilities, number of direct reports, annual compliance budget, advance degrees, and certifications held.
The compensation data was collected during the second quarter of 2013 from 813 compliance professionals who work in the health care industry.
The health care compliance staff survey results are available at no charge on the HCCA website, long-in is required. To download the survey report us this link: https://www.hcca-info.org/Login.aspx?returnurl=/Resources/View/ArticleId/4478/2013-Healthcare-Compliance-Staff-Salary-Survey.aspx
