TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 15 September 1852; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18520915-TC-JWC-01; CL 27: 284-288
Homburg (vor der Höhe), 15 Septr, 1852—
Thanks, Dearest, for your long and kind Bonn Letter, whh reached me safely yesterday morning at Frankfurt (10 miles from this): the assiduous Rosa had inclosed it to Neuberg; and how welcome it was to me at the "Braunfels" (Jew Bankinghouse) where N. had gone to get money,—all right now! Yr Rotterdam letter, it seems, is safe; worth another shilling too to have it safe: a second letter, which I hope you have under way, to "Frankfurt, poste restante," has not yet time, for a day or two; but proper instructions can be left, it seems, and shall, with the Post-officials at Frankft, and if not there before we go, then at Weimar (where a day's rest is to be), I shall get that too, and rejoice in my little kind despatching Goody and the news she sends. Thank God, no bad news; not fundamentally bad, tho' so supremely bothersome on the surface. What a day was that on the sofa after a night of foul paint-smells and misery! Oh if we had but these wretched mortals once fairly out of our poor little habitation, shouldn't we be shy to let them in again: don't they wish they may get in again! Patience, patience, my little Dame; I see you are getting them cast out, these devils, worse than Mary Magdalen's;1 daylight begins to shine thro' that sad adventure, and we will laugh at it, from the safe other side, some day. They are in the back area, it seems? Bid them not forget the immortal "trellis," after all;—the hydrastisy2 they won't forget!— But let me sketch you my adventures, in a very brief form.
We did get out of Bonn fairly on Friday morning; a "washerwoman" of mine (dreadfully blue and damp she proves) and various little interests of N.'s rendered Thursday unadvisable; but Friday, at 8 a.m., then we did start, up the lordly Rhine again, under auspices at first wettish, but whh dried and brightened by degrees. The evg before, I had found out C. Barton's return, and made Ng lead me to his house: A considerably altered man, and all for the worse: puffy face, much crowfooted, scratch-wig discoverable with some difficulty; manners as of some empty fop in a play; a "Ha! ha!" as destitute of joy as ever sounded from the soi-disant human throat: in fact, a verfehltes Leben [failed life], poor devil, and a wretched egoist Hofnarr [court jester] from whom I was willing to escape after some minutes. Anthony S.'s adventure at Dessau, it appears, was better than we heard: the police took him not for a "political exile" at all, but for a fugitive Jew Banker's Clerk (Jude ist Jude [A Jew is a Jew]), which Jew Br had run off with immense monies not long before!— Don't speak of that,—not till my return.
Of the Rhine you shall hear enough by and by: it is verily a "noble river"; much broader than the Thames at full tide, and rolling along many feet in depth, with banks quite trim, at a rate of 4 or 5 miles on hour, witht voice, but full of boiling eddies; the most magnificent image of silent power I have ever seen; and in fact one's first idea of a World-river. This broad swift sheet, rolling strong and calm (in silent rage) for 3 or 4 hundred miles is itself far the grandest thing I have seen here, or shall likely see.—But enough of it, Ng and I got out at Coblenz that Friday abt 2 p.m. and by N.'s suggestion put ourselves into the coupé of an Ems Omnibus,—Bad Ems, 10 miles off, up a side valley (east side) there to try for a quiet sleeping-place, and day for excerpting German Books. Which really answered well. Ems is the strangest place you ever saw: Matlock, but a far steeper set of rocks close to rear, in front a river equal to Nith; and half a mile of the brightest part of Rue de Rivoli (say, Regent's Quadrant) set into it:3 a place as from the Opera direct, and inhabited by Devil's servants chiefly. Of it enough in winter evenings that are coming! We got the quietest lodging perhaps in Germany (not very quiet either) at the further end of the place, last house and abutting on fields: there in spite of cocks I got one night's sleep and 2 half ones, and did all my bits of Books (except 2 whh I have now finished here); and shall not undertake any similar job while here. Better buy the Books in genl, and bring them home to read. At Ems we inquired diligently for Miss Wynne (as here also), to no effect. We saw Russians gambling every evening, heard music by the river side, among fantastic promenades and Regents-Quadrant edifices, and Devil's-servant people every evening every morning; saw a dance too, unforgetable by man;—in fine drove, in cheap cuddy-vehicle, very respec[t]able, on Sunday ev[en]ing,4 up to Nassau (Burg Nassau, the birthplace of "Wm the Silent"5 and other heroes); a kind of pious pilgrimage, whh I am glad to have done. At the top of the high tower, on a high woody hill, one has of course a "view"—not worth much to me. But I entered my name in their Album; and plucked that one particle of flower, on the tip top of all, which I now send to thee,—keep it carefully, & mark on it "Burg Nassau, 12 Septr 1852": do, and be a good Lassie! Next morning we left Ems; joined our steamboat at Coblenz, and away again to the sublime portions of the Rhine country: very sublime indeed,—really worth a sight; say 100 miles of a Lochlomond (or half Loch Lomond) all rushing on at 5 miles an hour, and with queer old towns and ruined castles on the banks: a grand silence too; and gray day, adding to one's sadness of mood; for a "fine sorrow" (not coarse) is the utmost I can bring it too in this world usually! Beyond Coblentz our boat was too crowded; nasty people, several of them, French mainly; stupid, and polite, English mainly,—there was a sprinkling of Irish too, "looking at the vine-clad hills" (as I heard them lilting and saying). Neuberg guided and guides, & does for me, as only a 3d power of Courier, reinforced by loyalty and friendship, could,—bless him, the good and sensible, but wearisome & rather heavy man! At Mainz, at dusk, it was decidedly pleasant to get out, and have done with the Rhine (whh had now grown quite flat on each side, and full of islands with willows, not to speak of chained (anchored) corn-mills &c &c: Maintz and Faust of Maintz we had to survey by cat's light,—good enough for us and it, I fancy;—in fine abt 10 at night the railway (20 miles or so) brought us to Frankfurt; and the wearied human tabernacle, in well-waxed wainscotted upper apartts, in the "Dutch Hof," prepared itself to court repose,—not with the best prospects, for the street or Square (Rossmarkt, joining with Theater Platz) was still rattling with vehicles, and indeed continued to do so, and we left it rattling. Of the night's sleep we had as well say nothing: I remembered Goody over the Malvern Inn-Gate, and endeavoured to possess my soul in patience.6— In shaving next morning, with my face to the Square, whh was very lively and had trees in the middle, I caught with the corner of my eye sight of a face which was evidently Goethe's: ach Gott, merely in stone, in the middle of the Platz amid the trees;—I had so longed to see that face alive, and here it was given to me at last, as if with huge world-irony, in stone! An emblem of so much that happens: this also gave me a moment's genial sorrow, or something of the sort.
From Bonn I had written to Mephisto Marshall at Weimar: behold, one of the first faces the morning offered me at Frankfurt was that of Marshall himself, who had come in person to meet us the night before, and had been at the Post-Office and at all inns,—the friendly, ugly little man. He expressed great regret that you were not there, as he had rashly fancied from the "we" of my Note; was quite desolate to hear I could not stop at Weimar, or any place, beyond one day, for want of sleep: he went about with us everywhere, and at first threatened to be rather a burden, but by degrees grew manageable and rather useful, till we dined together and parted on our several routes. He is gone round by Würzburg &c to Weimar; and is to expect us there about Saturday, and not to run out to meet us and show the Wartburg at Eisenach7 &c &c. His Grand Duke & Duchess are in Italy; Eckermann himself is at Berlin: one day may very well suffice in Berlin.— At Frankfurt yesterday, after breakfast and yr Letter, we saw (weariedly I) all manner of things: Goethe's House (were in Goethe's room, a little garret, not much bigger than my dressing-room), and wrote our name "in silence"; the Judengasse [Jews' street], grimmest section of the Middle-Ages and their Pariar-hood8 I ever saw; the Römer, where old Kaisers all were elected;—on the whole, a stirring strange old-Teutonic-Town, all bright with paint and busy trade (the "Fair" still going on, under its booths of small-trash, in some squares); finally we mounted to the top of the Pfarrkirche steeple (oldest church, highest steeple), "318 steps," and then Marshall called for and got—a bottle of beer (being giddy, poor soul) & we aided in drinking the same (I to a cigar), and composedly surveying Frankft City, and the interior parts of Germany as far as possible. At 5 p.m. Ng put me into an Omnibus (vile crowded airless place), and in 2 hours brot me here, in quest of an old lodging he had had, "the quietest in the world," where we were lucky enough to find a floor unoccupied, and still are for at least one other day. As I said, my Book-excerpting (taliter qualiter [for what it's worth]) is as good as done; and the place is really quite rustic; out at the very end of Homburg, and that by narrow lanes; I see nothing but fields and hear nothing but our own internal noises: last night accordingly I expected sleep,—alas, our upper-floor lodgers took gripes, took ill,—Devil mend them,—and my sleep was nothing to crack of. In fact, I have renounced the hope of getting any considerable sleep in Germany; I shall snatch nightly, it may be hoped, a few hours, say half a portion, out of the black dog's throat;9 and let every disturbance warn me more and more to be swift in my motions, to restrict myself to the indispensable, and to hurry home, there to have sleep!— I calculate there will but little good come to me from this journey: reading of Books I find to be impossible;—the thing that I can do is to see certain places, and to try if I can gather certain books. Wise people also to talk with, or inquire of, I as good as despair of seeing. All Germans, one becomes convinced, are not wise!— On the whole, however, one cannot but like this honesthearted hardy population: very coarse of feature, for most part, yet seldom radically hässlich [ugly]; a sonsy look rather, and very frugal, good humouredly poor, in their way of life. Of Homburg proper (which is quite out of sight and hearing, yet within 5 minutes walk) N. and I took survey last night: a Public set of Rooms (Kur-saal they call such things) finer than some palaces (all supported by gambling, all built by one big French gambling entrepreneur); and such a set of damnable faces (French, Italian and Russian, with dull English in quantities) as were never seen out of Hell before! Augh,—it is enough to make one turn cannibal. An old Russian Countess, yesternight, sat playing gow-panfuls of gold pieces every stake, a figure I shall never forget in this world! One of the first I saw, risking coin at an outer table, was Lord Clanrickarde, almost a beauty here, to whom I did not speak: afterwards, in music room (also the gambling entrepreneur's as indeed everything here is) the poor old Duke of Augustenburg hove in sight; on him I ought to call, if I can find spirits? Oh, what a place for human creatures to flock to, Och, och! The taste of the water is nasty selzer, but stronger (as Ems is too, only hot): on the whole if this be the last of German Badeörter [Spas] I ever see, I shall console myself.— — Dearest, Dearest, it is now high time to go out; and here surely is the longest Letter I have written for months.— Ng says, if you write the very day after this comes, "Dresden, Poste Restante" will do: if not "Berlin,"—and mind!— A line to poor Jack with a thousand goodwishes; poor souls, I do think it may be an improvet for him, God grant it may! And my poor old Mother, tell her I am well; and be you well
Adieu, adieu

Compiled by Christy Pratt.
Plate Tectonics
Rocks & Minerals
Photos of Common Rock Types
Photos of
rocks that you can share via computer projection or assign as study.
Mohs Hardness Scale and Testing
One of the most important tests for identifying mineral specimens is the Mohs Hardness Test. It compares the resistance of a mineral to being scratched by ten reference minerals known as the Mohs Hardness Scale.
Acid Testing Rocks
To most geologists, the term "acid test" means placing a drop of dilute (5% to 10%) hydrochloric acid on a rock or mineral and watching for bubbles of carbon dioxide gas to be released.
Geologic Time Scale
This printable geologic time scale is easy to understand and is not too complex. This time scale is a word document that can easily be customized for any earth and space science teacher's needs.
This lesson plan demonstrates the formation of crystals in a geode through a classroom activity. This demonstration is a good way to introduce and expand the idea of crystals for elementary, secondary, middle school, and university level students.
Coal Through a Microscope
If you think that coal is a boring black rock then you have never seen it through a transmitted light microscope. The microscope reveals coal's hidden beauty as well as its composition.
Small Grants for Science Teachers
A two-page proposal might win $200 to $600 in science supplies for your students. Thousands of teachers win these grants every year.
Sugar Cube Rock Cycle
This lesson plan lets students develop an understanding for the processes of the rock cycle through sugar cubes. This classroom activity can be used to demonstrate the rock cycle for elementary, secondary, middle school, and university level students.
Mining in Texas
This lesson plan is a good way to demonstrate the extraction of nonrenewable minerals. This classroom activity can be expanded for helping elementary, secondary, middle school, and university students understand this topic.
The Most Difficult Rocks to Identify
An experienced geologist admits that he is seriously challenged when students bring him rocks to identify. The article includes tips for dealing with student specimens that can't be identified with confidence.
What Earth materials are in My Car?
This lesson plan requires students to investigate the minerals that are used in the manufacturing of vehicles. This classroom activity is appropriate for elementary, secondary, middle school, and university level students with minor modifications.

Non-sneaker, sneaker
"I hate tie sneakers, but there are times when sneakers are handy. I have an older pair of these sneakers and I like them very much for walking and for folk dance (it has a smooth bottom - it doesn't grip or catch). So I bought another pair to have when my first one wears out, as often, you can't find the same model shoe again. It is very well cushioned inside. I have had several other Privo shoes/sneakers and tend to like how they feel."

Comfortable but a bit narrow
"Shoe was very comfortable when in store but when I wore them around the house, they started to hurt because they were cut too narrow - and I do NOT have a wide foot, so unfortunately, I had to return them. Great shoe - just watch the sizing."

News reporter Jennifer K. Woldt posted an article for Wisconsinoutdoorfun.com on June 3, 2014 about a student sailing program in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The program is sponsored by Lourdes Academy. According to Woldt "The program provides a day-long opportunity for students to learn to sail and participate in other water sports."
During the program, students learn how to safely sail and handle a variety of watercraft, including the O'pen Bic sailboats, catamarans, kayaks and paddleboards. It's also an opportunity to connect topics students learn in school — such as science, math and meteorology — to real-life applications, according Steve Eliasen.
"You have a day on the water doing new things, like sailing and paddle sports," said International Youth Sailing of Oshkosh co-founder/co-director Steve Eliasen, who is also a member of the Oshkosh school board. "In so many schools, we see so few kids who have sailed or had these types of experiences even though they reside so close to the lake."
According to Jennifer K. Woldt, "There wasn't any wind and Lake Winnebago was as flat as glass. However, for seventh-graders from Lourdes Academy, it didn't matter. They still piled into kayaks, tried out paddleboards and hopped onto a catamaran or O'pen Bic sailboat to try out their hands at sailing and other watersports."
Camron Kelly, a 13-year-old student enjoyed the event. "It's pretty fun, we get to go sailing, kayaking and paddle-boarding with all of our friends."
Established seven years ago as a unit for the 60 students in the Oshkosh school district's ALPS Charter School, the sailing school has grown over the years. This year, 2,000 students will go through the program, either as part of their school or through local organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club or Christine Ann Center, according to Woldt.
In addition, Beginning with the 2014-15 school year, every fifth grade student in the Oshkosh school district will go through the program, Eliasen said.

Bright Blessings.
Ever wanted to learn an art that would really illuminate the way you write your Book of Shadows, your correspondence, or other important documents that just screams awesome? Then this Saturday, plan to attend the Spring Brunch at PJ's Lager House at 1254 Michigan Avenue in Detroit to learn the art of Calligraphy as taught by designer and crafter Genna Cowsert.
Do not be intimidated, as this is a
"beginner level class, we will learn the basics of Copperplate calligraphy, from holding an oblique calligraphy pen, to practicing the basic shapes, to writing the alphabet. We will start from the very beginning, so no prior experience is necessary."
This is a Small Craft event, so you know it has got to be fun and friendly. This group meets on the second Saturday of every month at the Trumbleplex. All ages and skill levels converge on a nexus point of crafting fabulousness here in the "D".
It is quickly becoming an obscure art to hand write your Book of Shadows. It is becoming rarer to use calligraphy to denote the special nature of the script also. If this is an art that Calls to you, it may be a great time to begin your studies.
The class is scheduled to be held from 11:00 am until 3:00 pm, and the cost is $20 to cover the materials. They include "one Nikko G nib, one oblique pen holder, one jar of black ink, one pad of layout bond paper and a packet of letter samples". In order to make sure that supplies are adequate, preregistration is required. You may visit the link here.
Please note that the cost of the brunch is not included. I heartily recommend that even if you do not take the class, checking out this island of inspiration should be on your to do list. Who knows what spark may be kindled over coffee, after all.
For a really pretty example of well written Book of Shadows pages, please view the accompanying video to this article.
Blessed Be.

Time to think about training
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Just a few days ago the ACA announced their 2010 Racing Calendar exposing the 217 racing days season with the first event kicking off on March 6th. Are you ready? While 217 days is a long time procrastination isn't going to get you across the line first, you need to start training today. But what does training mean to you? Have you ever had a training plan? Have you ever had a coach? Listen up if you answered no to either of those. First off, worst case you need a training plan, something that allows you to build up slowly and have peaks for certain races and focus on your weaknesses. If you can swing it I HIGHLY recommend getting a coach! "But coaches are only for pros" you say, wrong, coaches are for people who are passionate about their goals and that can be anyone from a cat 1 to a "Joe" who is building up to their first bike tour.
Colorado cycling coach, Ben Ollet, recently created a training program for the Beginner-Intermediate cyclist which is a good foundation to get your pre-season rolling along but a good training plan is customized for you. If you want to consider getting a coach consider contacting Ben Ollet or pick from a list of other Colorado Cycling Coaches

Missionary positionThe missionary position is the most conventional position and, let's not deny it, we all like this oldie-but-goodie. This sex position allows for, among other things, a special feeling of closeness between you and your partner. The comfort of the bedroom is also enjoyable, since that's where most of us like to kick back and relax after a good love-making session.
Other physical rewards are non-stop kissing, touching and eye-gazing — it's like a whole body massage, inside and out. Because the missionary position is a very intimate experience, you might want to try something different when you're having sex with someone you don't particularly love.
Finally, because the missionary position is very ordinary, that does not mean that it can't be extraordinary. Put some swivel in your hips when plunging in and out. Remember that your entry angle will really make the difference between a memorable performance and an average one.
sex you upAlthough the information listed above can vary from one couple to another, in general, every position serves a purpose. In the second part of this article , I discuss three more positions and explain why and when they should be performed.
As a side note, if you would like to intensify your sexual experiences, try one of these products: Herbal Vibes RX and Penis Pro. I discovered these herbal products purely by chance, and decided to share their potential value with you.

An expert weighs in: "The deep breathing that's central to Dahn yoga expands the diaphragm and the lungs' air pockets, which helps to invoke the relaxation response," says Matthews of the American Council on Exercise. "That's one reason this practice can reduce stress and mental tension and may even help you deal with anxiety and depression."
The verdict: This workout reminded me of a massage: a little bit of digging deep and a lot of tension-releasing aahs. You walk out after class feeling blissful and energized.
Find a class: Plug in your zip code at dahnyoga.com or try the DVD Dahn Yoga Essentials ($20; amazon.com).
Challenge rating: 1 (out of 4).
Best if . . . you are bored with the same old, same old cardio routine, are motivated by competition and don't mind having others watch you work out.
What it's like: Each session of these fast and furious boot camp–style workouts is unlike the previous one: Different exercises, equipment, goals and muscles are emphasized. The class I attended, held at an indoor soccer field, started with a cardio session that included running with knees high, doing laps carrying 14-pound medicine balls on our shoulders and crawling around the field like Spider-Man. Then Colin, a local police officer who moonlights as a CrossFit instructor, hit go on a big red stopwatch, and the "athletes" (as we were called) sprang into action for the workout of the day. As quickly as possible, we did reps of kettlebell swings, overhead presses and pull-ups—all movements that engage a lot of muscles, including those in the core. When we finished the routine, we each yelled "Done" so our time could be recorded on a giant whiteboard. It was a noisy, encouraging crew. The entire group gathered around the athlete who finished last and cheered as she pushed out her final reps.
An expert weighs in: Expect a high--calorie burn. "CrossFit and other hard-core workouts like P90X activate a lot of muscle groups and keep you moving with minimal rest," says Fabio Comana, an exercise physiologist and director of continuing education at the National Academy of Sports Medicine. These kinds of sessions can burn as many as 15 calories a minute—about 50 percent more than you can expect from your run-of-the-mill weight-machine routine.
The verdict: As someone who gets a thrill from running in races, I got really pumped up by the competitive, rah-rah atmosphere. Just make sure you don't let an enthusiastic instructor goad you into doing more than your body can handle.

Challenge rating: 4 (out of 4).
Barre Classes
Best if . . . you're burned out on Pilates but still aiming for a dancer's body.
What it's like: These low-impact classes use ballet barres to help you maintain your balance as you alternate reps of tiny, controlled toning movements with stretching. The goal is to produce the long, lean musculature of a ballerina as well as a tight, uplifted butt. At the Figure 4 barre class I took at Pure Yoga studio in New York City, an essentially easy exercise—such as a tiny leg lift—was repeated and repeated, with the instructor guiding students into subtle changes of position until they got what's known as the barre shakes, signaling that the muscles are working in overdrive.
An expert weighs in: "Although these classes are low impact, they tone muscles just as well as the higher-impact activities that many of us can't do anymore," says Sadie Lincoln, founder of Barre3, based in Portland, Oregon.

We were having a discussion on the yard I have my horse Sabrina it was about how many horses that we all could comfortably look after and handle each day, we all came to the conclusion 2 was the answer that us elderly owners could look after the same as ours now keeping them in luxury with health care and individual fuss, we all talk to our horses which to unhorse people will seem strange but I also talk to my cats you actually seem to get more sense out of them, but horse people are slightly mad anyway (men in white coats). Bye the way we are all paranoid on our yard and ask each other for a 2nd opinion even though all have years with horses, the one owner was taught by the Col. as me and also kept her horse at the place I had Tonka originally before I brought him home, even the YO joins in as we want to do the right thing by our horses.

I comfortably look after and handle 4 everyday. They all get attention and brushed off, feet picked and checked over for cuts, all get talked to and treated as the indiviuals that they are. When they are in they all get mucked out thoroughly every day so it really depends on the individual person. I wouldn't call myself paranoid about my horses but i am very carefull and observant and if i am worried about something i get my friend to come and have a look to give me a second opinion about it.

Char raised a similar topic a few days ago, as she's currently looking after another boy as well as Parsley.
Personally I too look after 4, and like Mickis they get feet done, quick look over and maybe a brush every day, poo picking done twice a day (they live out) but I don't ride anymore, and if I did I would struggle.
Looking after this lot is about my limit and within my health and energy levels.

I think 2 is about right for me too. I do keep thinking of having another for my OH to ride, but I think that will only happen when Manny my pony departs (not yet hopefully!) as the cost of 3 would be a bit too much as well as the time.

Hmm, although I have 3 I would be happier as I am getting older with just 2 - but with my current run of luck and Anya's issue that is highly likely soon Luckily I work from home and have the girls at home so they all get some form of attention every day - but I confess at the moment it is real hard work as everyone is on box rest so I feel like I start at 7am with feeds, hay and mucking out and eventually finish at 10:30pm popping in and out of stables all day on and off as I hate droppings left in the boxes and I like to keep them amused so feed little and often with nets, feeds and of course toys!
Looking forward to retirement for me!!!

I dont think i could cope with more than two being ridden. Could take on more if it was just taking care of them.
The big problem is when you take a horse on its like taking a wife, through thick and thin, good with the bad, and unfortunately circumstances change very suddenly even overnight as it did once with me, in full time work then redundant the next eek! had to make a dicision either to sell Tonka, put at grass without anyshelter and it was summer going on to autumn, or bring home and build a stable this was what I did and the best thing I did for twenty one years.

well i've got 6. granted that 4 of them are shetland ponies, 2 of them are ridden. sometimes i struggle to get them both ridden on a regular basis so i think 2 is enough riding wise

i think it depends on circumstances - atm i own one horse but work on a yard where i look after 5/6 plus mine and tend to ride three a day which is manageable could probably do one more, they all get individual attention/turn out ect however i think if i was working a standard 8-5 job i could probably just about manage two but i have to addmit i'd have to have them either at home so i could just turn them out before work then muck out in the evening of have them on livery and pay for someone to do it i am exceptioanlly bad at getting up in the morning so having to get up at 5 to ride/,muck out ect before work would deffinatly not work! i'd rather still be riding at half 10 at night than get up early!! 3 would be my max but one owuld have to not be ridden, youngster/companion or something on grass ;)

I have two which I find easy at the moment as I did have 3 and my other lad was hard work. I think it depends on the needs of each horse, If you have 4 horses which all live out and are relitively easy to do then it isn't to bad but if you have 4 which all live in, need regular exercise (4-5 times a week) and more care whilst handling then it would be more difficult.
My friend runs a full livery/braking/schooling yard where everyday she looks after a minimum of 10 horses but its her job and she is use to it and she said if she had one horse it would be weird for her.
I found it hard last winter as my one lad was stabled all winter, rugged up and on a 3 feed a day routine while my other girl lived out, unrugged and just on haylage... It felt like I was spending more time with the one than the other... but hey ho!

I would agree with the fact that 2 is about the most I could manage if both were in work, as I am still at school I only have a certain amount of time in which to get everything done on top of other commitments and homework.
I have one of my own on loan at the moment but would love to get another as I just feel I could really help another horse and give it love and get it up to a good standard of work.I have just started helping out a little bit with a friends horse as she had a women loaning it who basically had it as her own, but things have dramatically changed and that women is no longer at the yard so i have started working a little bit with it!!He is an ex-racehorse so needs quite a bit of work! I am bringing him back into work after a bits rest no sure how long not a dramatic time period just a few weeks!! Am just wondering if anyone has any tips on what is good to start doing with him, anything suggested has to be able to be done in quite a small space of time 30-40 mins.
Sorry know I have gone on a bit there

Rain Baby Shower (25 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
My friend is expecting a little boy, and I decided to throw her a "Rain Shower"!
I used all different shades of blue - from turquoise to cobalt - for a layered, rainy look. The puffy, felt cloud with tinsel rain stole the show at the dessert table. And a vintage children's chair, blocks, and a toy train added a fun, boyish touch to the decor.
We had lemon cake pops and cupcakes topped with custom paper umbrellas. I also made meringue "clouds" and umbrellas out of individual wax-covered cheeses. The rest of the food and signs were in circles to match all of the blue dots.
The guests were invited to sign a cute children's book about a rainy day, and each guest got to take home a bag of chocolate "raindrops".
We had fun "making it rain" for Alaina!

Leslie Buffay

|Last appearance
|The One Where Ross Is Fine
|Number of episodes
|Portrayed by
| Alexis Cimoch, Cole Cimoch, Justin Cimoch and Paul Chimoch III (season 6)
Allisyn Ashley Arm (season 10)
|Leslie Buffay
|Date of birth
| Frank Buffay Sr. (grandfather)
Mrs. Buffay (grandmother)
Phoebe Buffay (half-aunt/surrogate mother)
Ursula Buffay (half-aunt)
Frank Buffay Jr. (father)
Alice Knight Buffay (mother)
Frank Buffay Jr. Jr. (brother)
Chandler Buffay (sister)
Leslie Buffay is the second child of Frank Buffay Jr. and Alice Knight Buffay.
Leslie is the middle child out of the triplets: her older brother Frank Jr. Jr. and her younger sister, Chandler Buffay. They had trouble conceiving naturally, so Frank asked his sister, Phoebe Buffay, as a wedding present, to be the surrogate of their child. Leslie was born with Frank Jr. Jr. and Chandler in the episode 'The One Hundreth.'
They were seen again, one year old, in the sixth season and last season, when they were five years old, Frank asks Phoebe to take one of them (like in 'The One Hundreth' were Phoebe asks Rachel to ask Frank Jr. if she can keep one of the babies), but seems to love them too much to give one away.
Phoebe Abbott is not Leslie's grandmother because her father Frank Jr and Phoebe Buffay have different mothers (both adoptive and biological. Lily Buffay has nothing to do with Frank, and Phoebe Abbott is Phoebe and Ursula's birth/biological mother, but not Frank Jr's. Frank Jr is the child of Frank Buffay Sr and an unnamed woman)
- No one seemed to notice that Leslie is the name of Phoebe's ex-singing partner.
- Leslie was actually played by a boy in the episode "The One With Joey's Porsche" (You can see this when Leslie was then found sitting in a drawer in a green dress without a diaper. You can clearly tell it's a boy.)

Turnip "Fries"
Turnip "Fries"
These faux fries are a yummy and healthy change from you-know-what. They don't get crisp in the oven; instead they go all caramelized and mellow. They make great 3-season companions to pork, duck, turkey, or lamb. (Summer isn't turnip-friendly.) Try them with Turkey-Spinach Burgers with Sweet Soy-Ginger Sauce, Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Port Wine Reduction, or Hoisin-Molasses Pork Tenderloins. Tip: You'll need 6 to 8 medium purple-tops or 2 large Macombers for 2½ pounds.

Don't let these tasty "fries" fool you—they may have all the flavor of something you'd order with a burger, but a fraction of the fat and calories. They don't get crisp in the oven, but the savory tenderness will satisfy your craving for greasy fries. To make sure they cook evenly, try to slice them [...]

That Was So Last Year
Arizona's 14-game winning streak is the longest current streak on the Division I level ... It is UA's longest consecutive string of wins since opening the 1998 season 16-0 ... During the streak UA is 6-0 in Pac-10 games, 8-0 in non-conference games, 4-0 vs. top 25 teams, 11-0 at home, 2-0 on the road, 1-0 on neutral fields, 5-0 in one-run games, 3-0 in two-run games, 2-0 in extra inning games and 2-0 in shutouts ...

Head coach Andy Lopez has said that the biggest improvement for a player is between their freshman and sophomore seasons. Brad Glenn is certainly proving his skipper right. As a freshman last year, Glenn batted .288 with 11 doubles, zero triples, 10 home runs, 38 runs scored and 32 RBI in 51 games played. In 31 games as a sophomore this year, he is hitting .359 with 12 doubles, two triples, five home runs, 25 run scored and has already surpassed his RBI total from last year with a team-high 42 this season.
Coincidence? Maybe, but Maybe not
The Wildcats' 14-game win streak has happened in conjunction with outfielder Diallo Fon's move into the starting lineup as the leadoff hitter. Over his last 14 games, Fon is batting .404 (23 for 57) with three doubles, three triples, six RBI and a very impressive 21 runs scored. Over a four-game period (at Hawaii-Hilo, two games vs. Morehead State and the series opener against Northern Colorado), Fon reached base safely 12 times and came around to score every single time. The redshirt freshman is 10 for 11 in stolen bases, has a .507 on-base percentage and is slugging at a .561 clip during the 14-game stretch.
Walk-off Wins
Over the last 11 games,
Walk-Off Wackiness
T.J. Steele's walk-off homer in the 12th inning against Northern Colorado on March 25 was the first for the Wildcats since Jeff Van Houten did so against
UA's Last Two Walk-Off Homers
March 25, 2005 Jeff Van Houten vs. Washington - Solo HR to lead off the 12th
March 25, 2007 T.J. Steele vs.
Two-Out Guy
Brad Glenn has racked up a team-best 42 RBI in 33 games this season. More impressive however is that 25 of the 42 runs driven in have come with two outs in an inning. For the year Glenn is batting .396 with two outs, 37 points higher than his overall average of .359.
Bouncing Back
Junior C.J. Ziegler went through a rough patch - 3 for 19 during a five game stretch - but the first-year Wildcat has bounced back in a big way. In his last four games Ziegler is batting .562 (9 for 16) with three doubles, seven RBI and six run scored. Against Oregon State on April 1, he collected the first five-hit game of the season for the Wildcats and helped extend UA's winning streak 14-straight three games later with a game-winning two-run double in the seventh inning against Cal last weekend.
Ready, Willing and Abel
With the departure of three-year starter Jason Donald, the shortstop position was a vacant slot heading into the 2007 season. Freshman Robert Abel got the early chance in the pivotal position and has done nothing to relinquish the starting spot. Starting all 34 games and playing every defensive inning, Abel is hitting .310 with six doubles, three triples, 16 RBI and 29 run scored. Defensively, Abel over came a stretch earlier in the year in which he committed five errors over five games to post just three defensive miscues in Arizona's last 21 contests.
Abel to Steal a Bag
Freshman shortstop Robert Abel saw his streak of successful stolen base attempts end at 15 straight when he was caught on March 25 against
Back-To-Back Back-To-Back
C.J. Ziegler and Brad Glenn hit back-to-back home runs in back-to-back games earlier this season. Ziegler led off the ninth inning against
A year removed from having just one player hit multiple home runs in a contest (David Plante, at USC), three different Wildcats have gone yard at least twice in a game this season. Bill Rhinehart (2) and Brad Glenn (3) each hit multiple homers against
One Yard from History
Brad Glenn was already having a good day - 3 for 3, three home runs - when he strode to plate in the eighth inning against

Embracing the Challenge (2010)
Monday, November 26, 2012
Hi my name is Nelyza, 31, mother of 3 beautiful souls.
I made the decision in Feb that I was going to lose weight. After my doctor told me I was pre-diabetic. I was at 292 pounds and had other conditions due to my weight. Right after telling me that he said "If you keep this up, (my rapid weight gain) you won't last another 10 years" Now that was scary; I only thought of my kids' goals and that I would not be there to see them realized. My oldest is 16, she is in 11th grade, and she wants to be a Vet since she was 2 years old; has done numerous hours of volunteer work in animal hospitals and is currently taking her high school classes plus veterinary assistance classes. And I calculated 2 years left in high school, 4 years biology, 2 for master, 2 to 4 in veterinary med school; hey that�s 10+ years and I won�t be here to see that; Now Way!!
I had done it before and knew I could do it again, back in 2002 I went from 290 to 160, so I know I can; but not alone. I had a buddy back then and that actually made it easier. We kept each other on point and competed with each other. In less than a year I lost 130 pounds. This time I got a buddy who after 2 months quit, I then got a personal trainer who enlisted to the Air Force and won't be coming back for a while. And alone, procrastination started really kicking in. I tried getting my friends and family into it but no one has the time or the interest. So I kept going to the gym until the last week of July; then didn't go back for a month and a half and then when I went back it was on and off.
From Feb. to July I went from 292 to 246, and I am proud of those lost 46 pounds. I can say I have not gained any weight since then I am still at 246 but that�s not where I want to be.
In the gym one of the trainers advised I join a support group, but when I searched I did not find any local, so he recommended online. I thought it was a dumb idea, still I went for it.
I joined Spark People after searching and comparing I understood that this would be the best place to be. Was I wrong about it being a dumb idea. I have only been a member for a few days and I can say the resources, like the trackers, are great tools, and I know I now have more "exercise and diet buddies" than I could have ever asked for. I purchased the book "The Spark" and have spark people on my mobile phone.
I know I have made the right decision.
I welcome your feedback, advice, help and support and above all your company through the journey.

In the video below Fool portfolio manager Matt Argersinger and managing editor Eric Bleeker discuss tech events across the past week.
In the video below, the two discuss Facebook's (NASDAQ:FB) recent acquisition of Oculus VR, a company most famous for producing a 3D virtual reality headset for gaming. The acquisition was especially notable because Facebook paid $2 billion for it even though it hasn't begun commercially shipping a product.
Eric, who is a big fan of Oculus' product, discusses his fear around the acquisition. Notably, it reminds him of Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) WebTV acquisition back in 1997. It was a whopper of a deal at the time, with Microsoft shelling out over $500 million for a company that was just 20 months old, an age that happens to be identical to Oculus VR at the time of Facebook's purchase.
The problem with Web TV, was it was a product that required years of infrastructure build out (broadband, HDTV, etc.) before it could become a viable product, so it floundered at a big company like Microsoft that is frequently acquiring companies and moving on to new projects. Eric fears Oculus could suffer the same fate with Facebook.
To see Eric and Matt's full thoughts, watch the video below.
