Real Salt Lake: RSL holds off Chivas, now plays the waiting game
SANDY — Real Salt Lake is the leader in the clubhouse, and now it waits.
Despite a shaky first half and a frenetic final 15 minutes at Rio Tinto Stadium, RSL polished off Chivas USA 2-1 in its regular-season finale Wednesday to move to the front of the MLS Supporters' Shield race.
Staying there will require a bit of luck.
The rest of MLS wraps up play this weekend, and Real Salt Lake needs three favorable results to claim the Supporters' Shield for having the league's best regular-season record. It needs Kansas City and Portland to lose or draw on Saturday, and then New York must lose on Sunday.
The series of results is unlikely, but that's OK with RSL defender Nat Borchers.
"If it happens for us, great. If it doesn't, we put ourselves in a great position to make a run," said Borchers.
Wednesday's result guaranteed Real Salt Lake no worse than a second-place finish in the West, which means it will open the conference semifinals on the road — either Saturday, Nov. 2 or Sunday, Nov. 3.
Jason Kreis said he'll be anxiously watching every minute of every game this weekend to learn his team's playoff fate, but said he feels good about the momentum his team generated by grinding out the victory.
Real Salt Lake also rediscovered some of its attacking prowess in the win. It came into the game with just three goals scored in its previous six matches, and with the score level at 0-0 at halftime, it looked like things were shaping up to be another frustrating night.
That all changed early in the second half, though, as the insertion of Javier Morales sparked two quick goals.
"We talked at halftime about trying to push things, push the point of attack and really go for things a bit more and step up in their half and press," said midfielder Ned Grabavoy.
Kreis was disappointed it took a halftime reminder for his players to start pressing.
Heading into the match, Kreis said he wanted to see his players take some risks around goal and "shoot the ball." Throughout the first half, though, they weren't taking those risks frequently enough.
"The energy wasn't good enough. The movement in the midfield wasn't good enough," said Kreis.
The insertion of Morales at halftime helped change all that. The midfielder has been nursing an ankle injury for a few weeks now, and the coaching staff elected to start Yordany Alvarez instead. RSL was a different team when Morales came on the field.
In the 48th minute Joao Plata took a shot from distance that ricocheted off the arm of Chivas' Mario de Luna, and resulted in a penalty kick that Alvaro Saborio easily finished off for the 1-0 lead.
Three minutes later Plata again had a go from distance. This time, however, no appendage was there to block his shot as he curled a 22-yard blast just past the diving fingertips of Chivas 'keeper Tim Melia.
With the 2-0 lead, RSL continued to push the attack and had numerous chances to add a third and possibly a fourth goal. None were more point-blank than Grabavoy's one-v.-one opportunity in the 56th minute, but his close-range shot was turned away.
The inability to finish off the game nearly came back to haunt the home side.
In the 77th minute, Chivas pulled a goal back as Julio Morales slipped in behind Real Salt Lake's backline and chipped a shot past Nick Rimando to whittle the deficit to 2-1.
The Goats made RSL sweat out those final 10 minutes, but the home side ultimately grinded out the victory, which Kreis said could be a good thing heading into the playoffs, where every match is a grind.
Ironically enough, RSL now needs Chivas' help to try and claim the top seed in the Western Conference. Even if New York and Kansas City don't cooperate this weekend in the Supporters' Shield race, RSL will nonetheless win the West if Chivas can get a result against Portland on Saturday.

Rosso il mio colore. Sono una donna che ama i dettagli e la sostanza delle cose. La raffinatezza come ricerca spasmodica della bellezza. Amo altresì l'energia dei luoghi e Trastevere ne possiede tanta, copiosa e ardente. Una dimora conserva l'energia di chi la ama, ecco perché credo che questo splendido angolo di Trastevere sia speciale. Una romantica vista sulle terrazze di Roma, nel suo cuore. La cura di ogni dettaglio. Non è un'abitazione qualunque è una vibrante esperienza.

Life through the lens of a caretaker
Chris Moody, a first year caretaker, has spent the summer in the field with his 35 mm camera. The results, that he shared with us as a caretaking photo-essay, are extraordinary. These are not photo-shopped, and many rely on photography techniques like double and long-exposures.
This selection of photos will resonate with all of us who have spent time in these mountains: cloudy ridgelines, clear reflective ponds (that one will make you look a few times), the beckoning cairn (beckoning in a whimsical way in Chris' photo), the vast green heart of the Pemi Wilderness, and of course spectacular sunsets that each have a unique defining characteristic. These photos also come with names, some of simple geography (e.g. Franconia, and Bondcliff) and some of expression (e.g.follow me and my hand, and realities). These are, also, photos that Chris has been compulsively taking from the very beginning, taking his camera with him into our overnight field visits during caretaker training.
As the West Rotator, Chris moved among Kinsman Pond, Liberty Springs, and Garfield Ridge over the course of his 10-11 day stints in the field; being car-less, he traveled that rotation as a pure rotation, traversing the Franconia ridgeline from Liberty to Garfield. Appropriately, along with his 35mm camera, he uses an external frame pack and can often be found composting human waste while wearing a 1970s polyester shirt.
As a photographer, he has few words, but wrote these to describe what it means to be a caretaker, and what these photos are to him.
as a caretaker you are given freedom and responsibility to protect, serve, and embellish the land as you choose so long you follow the simple guide lines of leaving no trace and making sure everyone else is aware of these life practices as well. you wake up and you hike, you wake up and you record the weather, you wake up and you explore your world, you walk amongst the storms and let it rain down on you, you hope the bear let's you be like you let it be, you sit amongst the disappearing sun, you be you! the freedom allows for your own personal interpretation and you make it what you want it, like life. everyone lives it differently and that's the beauty of the job; here is how i live it alone, with friends, and with the gods:

Hi Rob,
To apply for AMC's Backcountry Caretaker positions, candidates must be over 18. In the meantime, if your son really loves the outdoors and is looking to get dirty and give back, check out the variety of summer opportunities with our teen trail crews: http://www.outdoors.org/conservation/trails/volunteer/index.cfm
Experience such as these crews are a great starting point for working in the outdoors in the trails and backcountry fields.

Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD Review
DiskBench - Directory Copy
Version and / or Patch Used: 18.104.22.168
Developer Homepage: Nodesoft
Product Homepage: DiskBench
Download here: http://www.nodesoft.com/diskbench/download
Note: In this test we use the Lenovo W530 Mobile Workstation and a SuperSSpeed S301 SLC 128GB SSD to move a 15GB block of data to and from the target drive. This is part of our real world test regiment. Roughly 45GB of data resides on the target drive before the '15GB Block' is transfer. The 15GB Block is the same data we built for the Data on Disk Testing and is a mix of compressible and incompressible data.
Earlier in the review, I said we would expand on file transfers a little more. As you can see on the chart none of the drives make it past 310MB/s reading or writing data. This is a limit imposed by the Windows file system for the most part. Granted, you can get higher results with RAID arrays, but for everything over 300, you have to give a little back to Windows, the processor, the chipset and so on.
What this means for you is Vector's QD1 limit of 350MB/s and 840 Pro's maximum performance with the file system of 460ish MB/s still gives you around 300MB/s when transferring data. I know right, sometimes life just isn't fair.

Rajya Sabha adjourned over civil nuclear bill
New Delhi: The Rajya Sabha on Thursday saw regular disruptions after Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) members alleged a deal between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the civil nuclear liability bill.
As the House met after lunch break 2, LJP leader Ram Vilas Paswan and RJD leaders Ram Kripal Yadav and Rajneeti Prasad were on their feet alleging that the Congress and BJP had struck a deal.
The LJP and RJD members walked noisily towards the speaker after which the house was adjourned till 3 pm.
Ending weeks of impasse over the contentious nuclear liability bill, the BJP on Tuesday indicated its willingness to accept the trebling of compensation in case of a nuclear accident to Rs ,500 crore from Rs 500 crore.
The report on civil nuclear bill by a parliamentary panel was tabled in the house Wednesday.

I have now seen three episodes of the new reality show Oprah's Big Give. It's good that Oprah isn't full of herself, isn't it? To be fair, she probably doesn't want to confuse it with anybody's else's big give.
The basic idea behind this show is more than admirable. It's quite spectacular, actually. A group of people are given the opportunity to touch the lives of people in real need. They are given resources, tools and time to figure out a way to be as generous as possible with a person or family each week. This is not just a gift to the one in need. It is a gift to the contestant, to meet and understand the depth of need and to feel the real and palpable emotions that come with giving. The audience, by extension, reaps that benefit as well.
It is when you put all of this into the context of a competition that the concept goes horribly awry. The person who is the nicest, who raises more money than the other contestants wins. And of course to get there, each person is judged on his or her actions and one philanthropist is voted out each week.
I'm guessing that I have a unique perspective because I ran a non-profit organization for nearly a decade, because I serve on the board of national nonprofit (where I am the co-chair of the fundraising committee) and because my partner and I have the good fortune to be able to give generously to a few organizations we care deeply about.
Each week judges critique contestants' philanthropic works. Think about that for a minute. Each week, someone gets made to feel really, really bad about making another person feel really, really good. We hear things like "You only raised $5,000,″or my favorite "You got lost en route to your family's house and lost valuable time."
These contestants have just returned from these remarkable experiences -- helping in whatever way they could. The notion that you can measure the value of a generous act based largely on the total dollars donated is terribly short sighted and sends a message quite contrary to the one I expect Oprah intended.
Many of us know from experience that an afternoon working in a soup kitchen can have more lasting impact on the volunteer than had that same individual written a $500 check. It's not just about the money. It's about showing someone you care, it's about reaching out in some real and tangible way, it's about generosity in the broadest sense of that word.
Imagine if you are a family that has been touched by one of the contestants voted off. I would be pissed off. Don't you tell me that Mary wasn't generous enough! Don't you tell me that Bob didn't spend enough time with me? Who the hell are you to judge anyway?
It's something so right that just feels so wrong.
I know it's too late and that the series is already in the can. And I know no one thought to ask me when the show was in development. But HAD THEY ASKED ME, I would have recommended a very different "big reveal" at the end. Or should I say "Oprah's Big Reveal."
Don't select a "winner" at the end. Surprise all the contestants, bring them all in and split $1,000,000 among them. As I recall, the contestants didn't know there was a prize anyway. So $100,000 would be quite nice thank you very much. Maybe Oprah could use some of her ga-zillion dollars to bring in some of the families helped throughout the series. Be sure to include some families that were helped by those voted off. Use it as an opportunity to celebrate everyone who participated.
That would be your opportunity to make sure that no one who gives big ever feels small.

Nokia N96 review
Mark Peters : November 11th 2008 - 09:30 CET
Nokia N96 review at LetsGoMobile :
It is becoming more and more difficult for current manufacturers to put a unique mobile phone into the market. Many cell phones are equal when it comes to their functionality, and there are only minor differences between current models and their successors. Unlike a few years ago, when mobile phones were gradually taking on more functionalities of other devices. The Nokia N95 brought fame to Nokia, which eventually resulted in the N95 8GB version. The differences with the new Nokia N96 mobile phone have been highlighted in the following review.• Read the full
Nokia N96
review at LetsGoMobile.
Nokia N96 digital camera
LetsGoMobile adds: "The integrated camera in the Nokia N96 features a Carl Zeiss lens and offers a resolution of 5 Megapixels. Pictures made with the Nokia N96 are excellent in comparison to other 5.0 Megapixel cameraphones. Colors are reproduced perfectly and the contrast is fine. One thing very noticeable is the digital noise that pops up if a too high ISO sensitivity is used in combination with a large amount of pixels on the tiny sensor, unlike regular digital cameras."
Nokia N96 includes mobile TV
LetsGoMobile adds: "Various providers have been offering mobile television for quite a while now. Two devices who were available right at the time of the introduction was an LG and the other a Samsung. Both mobile phones were not too enhanced, and as for the Samsung, you still had to pull out an external antenna. Now, the Nokia N96 is the perfect cell phone to watch mobile television. The quality of both image and sound is excellent. Switching between channels takes some time, however, not annoyingly. The most popular channels are at hand at any time this way. The range is reasonable; it is not always possible to watch television if calling is possible. However, with the recent introduction in mind, one can suspect the coverage to be extended. All in all, a very nice feature. Checking the news or watching your favorite program on the road is now made possible."
Nokia N96 review
The N96 is a long-awaited promising mobile phone of the Nokia brand. The internal memory of 16GB, the 5.0 Megapixel digital camera, FM radio, GPS receiver, HSDPA and of course, the mobile television function, make the Nokia N96 a fully equipped device. Just how well this cell phone functions in daily use can be read in the following

Great fun, we had a wonderful time - would highly recommend - excellent menu, drinks everything was perfect.
June 2016
Beautiful setting, wonderful food, and excellent service. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Melbourne.
June 2016
The experience was fabulous. Really enjoyed seeing Melbourne from this point. The staff, food and service were gold and I have recommended this experience to others. The only thing I would have liked to see was a history/story for this particular car maybe written on the lovely postcard we got at the end. The age of the tramcar, years this model was in service etc. Just a couple of lines on the postcard would be good. Thanks again.
June 2016
Excellent service,food was really good,plied me with 2 glasses of champagne,2 glasses of wine and 2 glasses of port all in 1 and 1/2 hours.I would recommend the 3 course meal I understand that the 5 course is too much and finishes quite late.
June 2016
Fabulous!! The Tramcar was very authentic and yet spacious. The food was wonderful. The service was the BEST. I'm glad we participated, even after a long day of touring and a late reservation time we had a wonderful experience. We will do it again if we are in Melbourne.

Well I was in a perverted mood anew and I was in luck and found David in an online chat room about slavery and other perverted things. It did not take much to get this live wire from an online scenario to my bedroom fastened up and willing for action. What I did not tell David was that I was shooting the movie scene and a friend of mine would be working his fascinating body over. I decided not to use a mask on David, that guy was already nervous and I wanted to see his eyes as his body was touched. At first that guy looked like a deer in the headlights. He loved how his body was touched lightly at first, and one time the lube was on his shlong this guy squirmed a bit and moaned. It was when his knob was smacked that that guy indeed jerked. He closed his eyes at that point and just moaned again.

Trailers Built For The Long Haul
- Feb 1, 2001
- Topics:
Glossy paint, swing-out saddle racks, loading lights--a new horse trailer can enchant you with options. But buying a trailer is like buying a horse. Your purchase examination goes beyond the chrome to evaluate individual parts. Just like a horse, a sound trailer requires sturdy construction and fluid movement. This enables your trailer to sustain years of use from horses and withstand hazards on the highway. A better-built trailer can endure impact, vibration, and weather better than its competitors.
When you're assessing any trailer, look for a vehicle that's engineered to be roadworthy. Learn how to judge its "stance" at a standstill, and its performance on the road.
Structure Basics
The trailer is a combination of stable structures and moving parts. In the simplest terms, a trailer is a box secured to a chassis.
Trailers are designed and built from the floor up. A subframe's structural members form the trailer's integrity. The subframe supports the frame (the box) and a stout plank floor with the size and spacing of its cross members. These beams run perpendicular to the trailer's sides, or bottom rails.
Rails form the frame's bottom and top. Carl Turnbow, who's built Turnbow trailers for 41 years, says, "To build a strong trailer that will withstand a lot of abuse and years of service, you've got to have a good frame, a strong bottom rail, and a strong top rail."
Typically, the subframe and frame are welded of square metal tubing in a post and rail construction. Corner posts are vertical, along with the side posts (also called uprights or standards). Posts are concealed by the wall panels, or sidewalls. Walls can consist of three layers: interior surface, insulation, and outer skin.
On today's trailers, the front or "nose" is usually flat and squarish, with rounded side edges and radius corners at the top. The rounded design helps the trailer move more easily through air. Some models feature a streamlined, aerodynamic V-shaped nose.
A trailer is pulled through either a neck, as in the gooseneck shape, or through a tongue, which is a V-shaped section on the bumper pull trailer. The gooseneck tapers forward from the trailer body to form the nose. Its "drop"--the steel section that joins the neck to the coupler--is supported by gussets (triangular corner supports). A gusset on each side strengthens the joint.
The coupler, attached to the neck or tongue, hitches the trailer to a towing vehicle. The gooseneck coupler fits over a ball in the bed of a pickup truck; on a bumper pull trailer, a clamshell device connects the ball of a hitch to the trailer. A coupler has a rating capacity of the maximum weight it should pull, which can differ from the trailer's rating capacity and the capacity of the trailer hitch ball.
The trailer's roof can be flat or arched. Generally the roof is secured and braced to the top rail and struts.
Sundowner Trailers engineering manager Vic Cook says, "The floors, walls, and roof should be designed to work together so they will provide strength, the ability to flex and absorb shock and stress, and protection and accommodation of the particular cargo."
The trailer's undercarriage contains the moving parts of the running gear and suspension. Wheels turn on axles, and springs suspend the body and absorb vibration and shock. Most of today's trailers replace springs with rubber torsion suspension, so the axles themselves absorb the shock from the wheels. Rubber cushions the axles.
On a tandem-axle trailer, the two axles are each rated at 3,500 pounds. However, Tom Scheve of EquiSpirit Trailers says, "The trailer is rated at its weakest link. A trailer using a 5,000-pound coupler is rated to hold only 5,000 pounds." So the lower coupler rating overrides the 7,000-pound rating of the axles.
Wheels are 15 to 17.5 inches, with radial tires. Electric brakes--a combination of magnets, shoes, and drums--slow the trailer's forward motion when the towing vehicle brakes.
The length of axles affects wheel placement. Longer axles, measuring 102 inches wheel-to-wheel, place wheels on the sides so that no wheel wells protrude into the horse stalls.
Another moving part is the landing gear or jack. It supports the trailer's front weight when the trailer isn't coupled to a towing vehicle. On a gooseneck, the landing gear cranks up and down to raise or lower the front of the trailer and the coupler. On a bumper pull trailer, the jack adjusts the height of the tongue.
Trailer builders use materials and methods from the recreational vehicle, automotive, and even aircraft industries. Materials may include metals, plastics, rubber, vinyl, and wood.
Structural Materials
Trailers usually are made of one of three types of metal alloy: all-steel, all-aluminum, or a steel frame with aluminum skin. Each metal has its own advantages in strength, durability, weight, and/or cost. Whatever the covering of the trailer, it must resist impact and be durable. Metal can fail by cracking, bending, shearing, or denting.
Steel is known for its strength. Even all-aluminum trailers use stainless steel fasteners, along with steel axles, neck, tongue, and coupler. A stainless steel "stone guard" can prevent dam-age from objects hitting the trailer front. How-ever, when protective paint gets chipped, non-stainless steel can rust. Steel's pluses are its strength and durability; the drawbacks are its heaviness and potential for rust.
Corrosion degrades metal alloys with chemical or electro-chemical reactions. Moisture rusts steel through oxidation, although aluminum also can corrode, especially from horses' urine. "Urine is alkaline," says Scheve. "An aluminum floor can deteriorate down to powder."
There is help in barriers that protect metal alloys from corrosion. Galvanized steel (normally used for pipes and tubing in the frame) has been coated with a zinc-iron alloy to protect the steel and resist rust, and has a textured, mottled shiny surface from crystallization of the protective alloy. Flat sheet-type components like the roof and sides are usually made of galvaneal steel, which is galvanized steel that has been reheated to smooth the surface, eliminate the shiny appearance and prepare it to hold paint better. These coated steels can be scratched lightly and still resist corrosion, but welding will break down the protective chemical barrier.
Another metal option is aluminum, which can be extruded (thickened by combining with other pieces of aluminum) to increase its strength. This process yields stronger, thicker pieces that can be formed shapes as opposed to flat sheets. Aluminum shapes include I-beam supports in the subframe, posts, rails, sheets, and floor planks.
"Important variables for aluminum include the thickness of the extrusions and sheeting, and the type of alloys used to produce it," says Kirk Turnmire of Featherlite trailers. For example, the sheeting that forms the exterior skin can be 0.04, 0.05, or 0.063 inches thick. Aluminum allows the trailer to be lighter weight, but is more easily damaged than steel.
Fiberglass is used by some companies in some components of trailer construction, such as the roof. Scheve says, "We mold tubular steel right into the roof, so the steel is like roll bars. Fiberglass is a good insulator, it's lightweight and easy to repair, and it will last you as long as the rest of the trailer."
Floor planks typically are made of two- inch-thick, pressure-treated wood. Alumin- um trailers often use extruded aluminum planks that are corrugated to encourage liquid drainage.
Rubber sheeting--riveted or bonded in place--protects interior walls and floors, although many trailers still cover floors with removable (and easily cleanable) rubber mats. Vinyl-covered foam padding can cushion stall dividers.
Manufacturing Methods And Specifications
Parts are fabricated, or shaped, then assembled into the vehicle according to engineering specifications. Turnmire described the first step as "pre-cutting aluminum extrusions and building and/or assembling component parts (axle subframe, hitch assembly, etc.) in specially designed jigs, or patterns. While these components are being fabricated, the roof and floor are constructed, also in specially designed jigs."
Components are made separately for attachment. A one-piece roof-shaped of metal or fiberglass-eliminates seams and possible leaks. Rear doors can be constructed of layered panels to be as thick as two inches.
Knight says, "Each trailer's nose and hitch, sidewall, rear door assembly, and roof are introduced into the assembly line as a separate unit, then brought together using Tig welding, semi-trailer industry standard Huck bolts, and compression rivets."
The subframe's floor supports are crucial. Builders space cross members eight to 12 inches apart, using I-beam, T-beam, J-channel, or angled steel beams.
Because a trailer is a box, its joints must align to form correct angles. Corners must be at 90 degrees to result in posts and rails that are straight at the trailer's four corners. Turnbow emphasized the importance of a square, plumb trailer. "Setting it up on the (assembly) line, it's got to be level and square. If you don't get it square and level, it won't perform on the road as well." He noted that an out-of-square frame--where one side is lower than the other--won't track smoothly.
Company representatives mention crucial methods. "The way walls are constructed is another important fea-ture in the design of horse trailers," said Jeff Knight of Exiss Aluminum Trailers. "The strength of the wall and its components are also important for the support of the dividers and latches that separate the horses."
Cook names the axle attachment and neck as critical areas of the structure. "The axle attachment area requires rigidity and strength compatible with the weight of the combined trailer and cargo. The axles need to be installed in line and true to the coupler or attachment point of the tow vehicle and located at a distance from the coupler or attachment point to insure stability when the trailer is loaded in a reasonable fashion.
"The neck of the coupler must also be able to meet all of the criteria for the axles, and be attached to the trailer in a secure way which will discourage shock and stress from being localized at one point, but rather distributed to as much of the entire structure as possible."
Another important design consideration is that joints resist vibration, since over time vibration will shake parts loose from each other. Turnmire explains attachments of components as crucial to trailer structure: "Common methods include welding, which is used to join similar metals for a more structurally sound trailer; riveting, used to secure lighter skins; and Huck bolting, which is used to join dissimilar metals."
Strong welds resist cracking, especially at stress points like the coupler and the drop of the gooseneck. "The fit of the joint, thickness of material, and a clean weld surface are required," says Cook. "The type of weld desired needs to be evenly distributed between the joined parts."
Mechanical fasteners lock parts in place and should not push out. Rivets, or headed metal fasteners, join parts by fitting the rivet's shank through a hole in each piece. The Huck bolt is an industrial fastener. Some manufacturers attach the trailer's skin with a strong, double-stick tape so no rivets dent the metal.
"Rivets are selected with proper strength, grip range, and diameter for the purpose intended," says Cook. "You need to take into consideration shear strength, holding capability, and sealing requirements when choosing rivets."
Seals and gaskets must block air and light. "Make sure that no light is visible inside the trailer when the doors are shut," says Turnmire. "A smoke test is often used, particularly on custom trailers, to detect leaks."
The trailer's exterior finish must deflect the effects of weather. Manufacturers use automotive processes to bond paint to metal walls. All exposed steel should be painted, and the subframe on all trailers should receive a protective undercoating.
Manufacturers self-assess their manufacturing methods through quality control, and "road test" new or updated models with and without horses loaded.
"Exiss spends numerous hours using the latest engineering software in the design phase of our trailers," explains Knight. "Through computer simulation, we test the strength and structural integrity of our designs before we begin the manufacturing process." A prototype built after computer testing is then tested on the road.
Most manufacturers offer warranties of up to seven years on certain structural components.
Trailers must meet certain U.S. regulations described by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (see them at http://mchs.fhwa.dot.gov/rulesregs/fmcsrhome.htm). Other than that, few cite any industry regulation. Some are members of the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA, www.rvia.org), and register their trailer living quarters that are manufactured to RVIA standards.
Many manufacturers (around 100) are also members of the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM, www.ntam.com), which has compiled relevant structural manufacturing information from different trailer industries, applicable laws, and recommendations from various sources on trailer design. Ronald Jackson, president of CM Trailers and past president of the NATM, says, "Our primary goal at the NATM is to address trailer concerns and draft manufacturing guidelines for the small trailer under 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating. We meet annually and exchange information with our competitors and the manufacturers that supply our materials. The education goes in both directions, and that's the gist of what the association represents--to exchange information in order to make safer products." The NATM is not a regulatory agency, but it does offer a voluntary manufacturing plant inspection service to its members.
Safety And Comfort Systems
One of the more important safety systems of a trailer is the electrical system that powers the brakes and exterior and interior lights. Wiring must be installed properly, and ideally with no wires exposed to the elements.
To load and unload the horse, the entry system has one or more doors and possibly ramps. Dividers separate horses into stalls, and the slam latch on dividers simplifies placing horses in a slant load trailer. All hinges and latches should open easily and close doors and windows securely, and be sized and placed for security and safety.
"Everywhere we can, except on ramps, we use a continuous hinge," Turnbow says. "On the door, it goes from the top to the bottom. It gives you more durability over the long run."
Air circulates through windows and roof vents, permanent or removable feeders allow the horse to eat hay in transit, and storage areas carry equipment. All of these features vary in size and placement, and should be selected for your specific needs.
The horse trailer also might include a separate compartment for humans, usually positioned at the vehicle's front. The area can be a tiny dressing room or living quarters as luxurious as a motorcoach. The more elaborate the living quarters, the more complex the systems of air conditioning; fuel for heating and cooking; water, sewage, and water heating for restroom, shower, and kitchen, and electrical power.
When evaluating a trailer, test the integrity and usability of all systems. You should ask yourself questions such as: how easily do the doors and ramps open and shut? How hot will the trailer be in the summer? On a slant load, can you swing the rear saddle racks out of the way to open the rear doors fully?
As you "vet" any trailer, look for strong components to improve safety and comfort. A sound trailer assures durability and long-term value of your investment.

Apple buys data center originally built for MCIApple Computer has acquired an impressively-equipped but never used data center in Newark, Calif., the San Jose Business Journal reports.
The iPod maker is believed to have purchased the 107,000-square-foot facility for an estimated $45 million to $50 million — illustrating rapidly rebounding demand for — and the dwindling supply of — Silicon Valley area data centers, according to the report.
The facility, which spans across 39800 and 39840 Eureka Drive, was originally conceived for communications company MCI WorldCom before getting mothballed after its 2001 completion.
According to the report, the most elaborate \"Tier IV\" centers such as the Newark facility have the highest levels of redundancy and security, and can cost upwards of $1,200 per square foot.
However, Apple\'s is believed to have paid in the vicinity of only $450 per foot by acquiring the facility from Dallas, Texas-based Stream Realty Partners, which manages an opportunistic investment fund aimed at buying data centers at bargain prices.
Gregg von Thaden of Colliers International in San Jose, Calif., Apple\'s primary Silicon Valley real estate negotiator, reportedly represented Apple in the Newark purchase-and-sale negotiations. Mr. von Thaden\'s was also integral in Apple\'s recent acquisition of a 116,830-square-foot office complex at 10400-10450 Ridgeview Ct. in its home town of Cupertino, Calif .
The Cupertino facility includes about 56,315 square feet leased directly from property owner Grosvenor International and 60,515 subleased from IBM, according to the report.
