Belly Guards
May. 2, 2010, 09:31 AM
I am looking for a new belly guard for my jumper. However, I do not want to spend lots of money for a girth. What is everyone's recomendations? Needs to go up to a size 54 or 56.
Roxy SM
May. 2, 2010, 10:07 AM
I have seen some things that are belly guards you can slide onto the girth you already have, but I've only ever used actually belly guard girths so I don't know if they work as well but it probably would be cheaper.
May. 2, 2010, 10:10 AM
Ebay! I got some very nice ones for very reasonable prices.
May. 2, 2010, 11:12 AM
I have several of the slide-onto-the-girth kind. I like my County Logic girths and the belly guards fit on them nicely and are kept in place by the shape of the girth (though come to think of it, I never had a problem with the one I used on one of my old mares with a regular straight girth). I prefer that setup to a full bellyguard girth since I've never been a fan of how the full belly guard girths fit my horses.
I have a couple of Devoucoux ones that look like this (except with green/yellow elastic to hold it in place):
And a couple of these:
I like the ones that are shaped like the Beval ones better. I'm not sure who made mine (I picked them up at a horseshow tackshop), but I have two different sizes and I like them a lot!
May. 2, 2010, 02:13 PM
If you want a slide on I HIGHLY recommend Hadfield, reasonable cost. And the best part about them is they have buckles so the girth does not need to be undone to put them on and off. I think Premier Tack Outlet has one right now.
I love mine it is amazing.
May. 2, 2010, 02:57 PM
No specific brand suggestions, just a stylist suggestion. If you're using a belly guard because the horse really needs it (in particular when the horse is jabbing his belly/girth with his front studs) stay away from the ones with a hook or ring or whatever attachment in the center.
I looked for a while before buying my belly girth, because I was paranoid my horse would get caught in the hook thingy that almost every company seems to put on belly girths. I ended up buying one with a hook because it was on sale. A few shows later my fears were realized. We were doing a 4' jumper class in a muddy sand ring, horse was trying REALLY hard, one jump felt really awkward and the rest of the course just didn't have the same gusto. After the class I dismounted and found my clip/hook (about 1-2 cm thick brass hardware) bend downward at a 90 degree angle. I gave my horse big pats and told him 'thanks for being such a trooper.' I promptly cut the nylon that was holding the hook in place and removed the whole piece. I feel really lucky my horse merely backed off a bit after getting caught in his girth; it could have been disasterous as I'm sure he hooked a stud at the about the apex his jump - if the stud would have gotten stuck instead of bending the metal in half... things could have been ugly.
May. 2, 2010, 03:12 PM
I bought the amigo/ horseware for 150 @ the farmhouse
I bought it over the phone!
May. 2, 2010, 04:45 PM
If you're using a belly guard because the horse really needs it (in particular when the horse is jabbing his belly/girth with his front studs) stay away from the ones with a hook or ring or whatever attachment in the center.
I was at a show where a horse went down on the landing side of the fence because a stud got caught in the ring at the center of the girth (I don't remember if it was a regular girth or a belly guard girth, but it doesn't really matter since most girths have a similar ring).
You can also simply cover the ring with a piece of duct tape or electrical tape (not to tape it to the girth, over and around the ring itself).
May. 2, 2010, 05:30 PM
I'm still trying to figure out how a belly guard works. If the horse has his knees up in front of him, how do his hoofs get behind his brisket all the way behind the girth?
May. 2, 2010, 05:59 PM
I'm still trying to figure out how a belly guard works. If the horse has his knees up in front of him, how do his hoofs get behind his brisket all the way behind the girth?
Plenty of jumpers don't jump with their knees up square in front of them like a hunter, they 'fold' their legs as completely as possible, which puts their feet right up next to their girths. Those are the guys who need the belly guards, and the ones who could potentially catch the ring on them.
May. 2, 2010, 06:48 PM
It's when the horse tucks their legs up really tight. It kinda angles the hoof against that area. You can sort of see it here
May. 2, 2010, 07:06 PM
I have a mare that NEEDS a bellyguard in the big jumpers (you can see her jumping form in my profile pic) because she jumps as described above. And her bellyguard is severely cut up and scarred from the last couple of years! Even a horse that jumps in textbook hunter form can make an odd effort over a jump and poke themselves on occasion.
May. 2, 2010, 07:07 PM
I know you said you didn't want to spend a ton, but for future reference in case you ever DO want to spend quite a bit, the BEST ones are by far IMO http://www.smartpakequine.com/ProductClass.aspx?productclassid=6617 and http://www.smartpakequine.com/ProductClass.aspx?productclassid=8634! And ditto what everyone said about avoiding the center ring or taping it.
May. 2, 2010, 07:22 PM
How do those of you who remove or cover the center ring of the girth attach your breastplates? Do you tape it up after? Or only tape it if you aren't using a breastplate?
We have some here (childerics (http://www.lucchildericna.com/bellypad.php)) that have a sort of embedded carabiner style snap. That lies flat so I guess it could be considered a little safer, though honestly I find them a little bit of a pain in the rear to use with certain breastplate combos.

Francesco Francese kept his Sunday homily at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church on Broadway short as he encouraged worshipers to "be gentle" with people who stray from the path of God. "It's our Christian duty to, if we can, to make up for mistakes, and try to help those who are also victims in one way or another," said Father Francese. "God wants us to give others their due, to never be unjust to them." As he closed his Bible the sanctuary fell silent.

Local 212 gets many calls from our members requesting assistance and support. We would like to share with you a recent positive outcome that demonstrates successful advocacy on your behalf by your union.
In March, a number of teachers who covered classes as substitutes were directed to revise submitted time sheets. They were told to record substitute teaching in minutes instead of teaching periods despite the fact that the current Employee Handbook, the old contracts, and the practice agreed upon by Local 212 and the MATC administration are clear that faculty are paid by the period.

By failing for decades to regulate for-profit colleges, the federal government encouraged a predatory industry that saddled poor and working-class people with crippling student debt, often in return for useless degrees or no degrees at all. The industry accomplished this by relying on the federal student aid program for virtually all of its revenue. But the Obama administration took steps last week that could keep future students from falling into this trap.
Public school teachers in the Milwaukee area are leaving the profession at a higher rate than the state as a whole, and Wisconsin's teacher preparation programs are not enrolling enough candidates to fill their shoes in the classroom, according to a new report released Monday by the nonprofit Public Policy Forum.

For nearly two-thirds of my 30-year career in higher education, I have served as a middle manager of one sort or another: department chair, dean, program director. For the other third, I have been middle-managed.
Of course, even as a low-level administrator, I had plenty of people above me telling me what to do. I also had people below me who, given the chance, gladly told me what to do.
Full-time instructors at regional public universities earn an average of about $21,000, or nearly 25 percent, more in pay and benefits annually if they belong to a union, concludes a groundbreaking new study of compensation at such institutions.
The location and size of the employer also makes a big difference. Those in larger suburban public universities, the highest-paying category of institutions studied, earned an average of nearly $17,000, or 20 percent, more in pay and benefits annually than those at midsize rural institutions, the lowest-paying category.

The financial crisis and weakening global economy are significantly affecting the Japanese corporate sector, forcing a number of companies to revise their earnings forecasts downward. Although the steep rise in crude oil and raw materials prices, as well as the decline in the U.S. economy triggered by the subprime loan crisis, had begun to pressure the earnings of Japanese companies in late 2007, their financial results did not show any significant deterioration during fiscal 2007 (ended March 31, 2008). However, the ongoing downturn, which has spread rapidly across the globe since late 2008, caused a sharp appreciation of the yen and now threatens to precipitate drastic changes in a wide range of industries. Upgrades outnumbered downgrades in the Japanese corporate...

Earth. The late 20th century. Across the world, the mobile phone is gaining popularity as more and more people decide to join the digital age. But for the residents of a sleepy English town sitting in the shade of a new transmission mast, that ubiquity has a troubling cost.
When the TARDIS veers off-course, the Doctor and his companions find themselves in the middle of a mystery. Sometimes the past comes back to haunt you. And sometimes the future does as well.
3.2 The Eighth Piece by Matt Fitton
15th Century Prague: in the castle dungeons, a prisoner raves about the end of the world. Outside, Liv Chenka seeks out the workshop of a strange Clockmaker to see what he is creating.
England, 1538: Lord Thomas Cromwell finds his duties interrupted by otherworldly forces – clockwork soldiers, an unusual nun, and a mysterious scholar calling himself 'the Doctor'. Perhaps the truth can be extracted in the torture chamber of London's Bloody Tower?
Rome, 2016: Helen Sinclair has an appointment with an enigmatic Professor, whose greatest work is almost complete. Only the Eighth Piece is missing…
3.3 The Doomsday Chronometer by Matt Fitton
While River Song takes Helen on an archaeological expedition like no other, the Doctor finds himself enlisted by an alien Queen to save her people.
Trapped and alone, Liv stares death in the face as she meets the enemy who's been dogging the TARDIS travellers' footsteps throughout Earth's history.
The Doomsday Chronometer has been protected for five centuries: secret cults and societies jealously guarding its mystery. But what is their real purpose? The Doctor is about to discover the truth…
3.4. The Crucible of Souls by John Dorney
The date has been set.
The trap has been sprung.
A life has been taken and a maniac is on the loose.
With the TARDIS crew separated and in terrible trouble, will today be the day the bad guys win?
Cast: Paul McGann (The Doctor), Nicola Walker (Liv Chenka), Hattie Morahan (Helen Sinclair), Alex Kingston (River Song), Jeremy Clyde (George), Ian Puleston-Davies (Angus Selwyn), Richard Hope (Phillip Cook/Kal), Anna Acton (Kate Drury), John Shrapnel (Thomas Cromwell), Kasia Koleczek (Apolena), Glen McCready (Solvers/Abbot), Emma D'Inverno (Rosalia), Tim McMullan (Octavian), Janie Dee (Risolva), Robert Bathurst (Padrac), John Heffernan (The Imposter) and Nicholas Woodeson (The Clocksmith). Other parts portrayed by the cast.
Four more cases for the Infernal Investigators:
12.1: Picture This by Justin Richards
An art gallery is robbed, and the curator killed. That might not seem of interest to Jago and Litefoot. But this is the fabled Scarlet Gallery – where the paintings are said to be haunted. And the curator has been drained of blood, as if killed by a vampire.
Bizarrely, the only painting that has been stolen is in itself quite unremarkable compared with the others in the gallery. But even so, Jago and Litefoot soon find themselves caught up in events that could end in their deaths – or worse…
12.2: The Flickermen by Paul Morris and Simon Barnard
Jago is rather scathing of the new art of cinematography. Even so, he accompanies Litefoot to see a demonstration at a fairground. But this is no ordinary film. Can creatures live inside the film – or even escape from it?
Ellie recalls childhood stories about the 'Flickermen', and elsewhere people start to flicker in and out of existence. By the end of their adventure, Jago and Litefoot will themselves be film stars. But what they see when the film of them is shown will give them both pause for thought…
12.3: School of Blood by Paul Morris
Acting on a tip off about the possible source of the vampiric murders that are now plaguing London, Jago and Litefoot investigate a girls' school. Due to a misunderstanding, Litefoot finds himself offered a job at the school, while Jago keeps watch on Ellie who they both think is behaving oddly.
But before long, they both discover that all is not as it should be at the school. Can Jago and Litefoot track down the vampire before it claims more innocent victims?
12.4: Warm Blood by Justin Richards
Ellie tells Jago and Litefoot that she has been in contact with a group of vampires and can lead the investigators to them. But can they trust her? With more victims turning up, Jago, Litefoot and Ellie make their way to a house that is supposed to be haunted, and which could be the vampires' base of operations.
But what they find there will surprise and horrify Jago and Litefoot. Can they survive their encounter with the vampires when the Old One has decided that they must die?
Cast: Christopher Benjamin (Henry Gordon Jago), Trevor Baxter (Professor George Litefoot), Lisa Bowerman (Ellie Higson), Conrad Asquith (Inspector Quick), Ronald Pickup (The Old One), Forbes Masson (Kindred), Ronan Vibert (Mr Ravener), Robbie Stevens (Melchester), David John (Sir James Royston/Pete Stepney), Nigel Whitney (Robert W Paul/Hardwick), David John (Sir James Royston), Jacqueline King (Old Ma Hambley/Miss Broodie), Charlie Hayes (Nellie/Lucilla Fredericks), Niky Wardley (Hannah Bennet). Other roles played by the cast.
"It stalks you. It whispers. It wants you to turn around. It wants you to look. But if you do... If you see it..."
Talmouth is a lonely seaside town. No-one has heard from it for days. No-one who goes in comes out. Something has happened to Talmouth. Has it been taken over by aliens? Or is it something far, far worse?
Gwen Cooper's come to Talmouth to find out. What's happened has to be seen to be believed. But by the time you've seen it, you're already dead.
Torchwood contains adult material and may not be suitable for younger listeners
Eve Myles (Gwen Cooper), Matthew Gravelle (Darkness), Marilyn Le Conte (Mrs Rhodes), Ross Ford (James)
Decades ago, the mysterious time-travelling Doctor and his cheerful companion Mel became the toast of the planet Prosper, when they brokered a peace between the native Mogera and humans from the colony ship The Duke of Milan.
But when the TARDIS at last returns to Prosper, the Doctor, Mel and their associate Ace find only a warzone. The burrowing Mogera have become brutal monsters, dominated by their terrifying leader Caliban – and it's all the Doctor's fault!
Sylvester McCoy (The Doctor), Bonnie Langford (Mel), Sophie Aldred (Ace), Andrew Hall (Alonso/Caliban/Gonzalo), Lucy Briggs-Owen (Miranda), Rachel Atkins (Juno), Ewan Goddard (Talpa), Aaron Neil (Stephano/Klossi/Trink/Setebos). Other parts portrayed by the cast.
The TARDIS materialises on board a still and eerie spaceship. When a squad of soldiers land, they realise they've found themselves in the middle of a war zone. With one of their crew trapped by the enemy, the Doctor and his friends find themselves locked in a desperate race for survival. Vast warships manoeuvre around each other as both sides try to out-think their opponents, flying into ever more dangerous areas of space.
The stakes could not be higher. But as ever in war, the lines between good and evil are hard to define. Will anyone survive to claim the moral high ground?
Cast: Carole Ann Ford (Susan/Narrator), William Russell (Ian/The Doctor), Jemma Powell (Barbara), Rachel Atkins (Myla), John Voce (Toban), Gethin Anthony (Olivan), Andy Secombe (Benya), Tom Bell (Arran/Shift). Other parts portrayed by the cast.
Philip Hinchcliffe, acclaimed producer of Doctor Who (1975-77) returns to tell new stories for the Fourth Doctor and Leela.
The TARDIS has landed on a human colony world. In the city, where the inhabitants rely on advanced technology to create their children, a marriage is due to take place. But not everyone supports it, and a crash might just prevent it for good.
In the commune outside live the savages, shunned and detested by the city folk. But they have recently been visited by a man, charismatic and handsome, who may yet be their saviour - or their doom.
Two different sides, ready for conflict. But neither realises that a third force threatens their very existence...

An unabridged reading of this classic novelisation of a 1972 TV story featuring the Third Doctor, as played on TV by Jon Pertwee. Mysterious humans from 22nd Century Earth 'time-jump' back into the 20th Century, so as to assassinate a high-ranking diplomat on whom the peace of the world depends. The Doctor, Jo Grant and the Brigadier are soon called in to investigate. Jo is accidentally transported to the future; the Doctor follows, eventually to be captured by his oldest and deadliest enemies: the Daleks! Having submitted the Doctor to the fearful Mind Analysis Machine, the Daleks plan a 'time-jump' attack on Earth in the 20th Century!
Duration: 4 hours 30 mins approx. Read by Richard Franklin
MINDGAME SAGA will feature both Mindgame and Mindgame Trilogy, together - remastered and released on glass mastered DVD - for the first time.
Both Making of... bonus features will be included, with slide shows plus a new RETROSPECTIVE feature.
50 years after its only UK broadcast on BBC One, one of Doctor Who's most celebrated, lost adventures is regenerated, with a brand new hand-drawn black and white animation, synchronised with a digitally remastered recording of the original 1966 audio. The six-part adventure takes place immediately after the first regeneration, as the Time Lord and his companions, Polly (Anneke Wills) and Ben (Michael Craze), do battle with an old foe on the mysterious planet Vulcan. How will Polly and Ben cope with a new Doctor? How will the Doctor take to his new body? And how will they ever overcome the power of the Daleks?
Charles Norton, producer and director of the black-and-white animation, said it was "the most ambitious Doctor Who archive restoration ever attempted".
"Intelligent, suspenseful and magnificently staged, Power of the Daleks is one of the great lost classics of 1960s television," he added.
Four new adventures featuring the Fifth Doctor and Turlough!
The Memory Bank by Chris Chapman
The Doctor and Turlough arrive on a planet where to be forgotten is to cease to exist. But the Forgotten leave a gap in the world – and that's where the monsters are hiding.
The Last Fairy Tale by Paul Magrs
Deep in the heart of old Europe, the village of Vadhoc awaits the coming of a mythical teller of magical tales – but not all such stories end happily, the TARDIS travellers discover.
Repeat Offender by Eddie Robson
The Doctor has tracked the deadly Bratanian Shroud to 22nd century Reykjavík – where he's about to become the victim of a serial criminal. Again.
The Becoming by Ian Potter
A young woman climbs a perilous mountain in search of her destiny. The Doctor and Turlough save her from the monsters on her trail – but what awaits them in the Cavern of Becoming is stranger, even, than the ravening Hungerers outside.
Peter Davison (The Doctor), Mark Strickson (Turlough), Suzann McLean (Max/Autumn Voice), Ian Brooker (Archivist/Computer/Elder), Mandi Symonds (Alitha/Inspector Jill Sveinsbottir) Duncan Wisbey (Grayling Frimlish/Shiri/Zounds), Kae Alexander (Waywalker).


text: Aye, we've travelled far up North to bring you the best of tartans. Lochcarron Mill is the world's leading tartan manufacturer. For our signature autumn/winter 2012 tartan suits, we've turned to the traditional Black Watch and Modern Brodie swatches. Whilst the earliest mention of "Highland tartan" dates to 1538, it wasn't until 1815 that the Highland Society of London solicited Scottish clan chiefs to provide authentic samples of their clan tartans. The Scottish Register of Tartans maintains a database of up to 7,000 designs. There is also TartanWeb, an archive, open to all. Tartan week is slowly drawing to a close at our Kew HQ, but these bits and pieces of information will surely provide enough stimulation for endless weekend browsing. Long live tartan!

It has never been painted and I need to know if special paint or procedures must be followed so the paint will not peel off. Thank you.

Silver Surfer was a shortlived Animated Adaptation based on the Silver Surfer comic book character that ran on Fox Kids in the 1998-99 season.Norrin Radd is a pacifistic man living on the progressive, harmonious planet Zenn-La, until the cosmic entity Galactus arrives. The Devourer of Worlds proceeds to consume the planet's energy, but Norrin Radd convinces him to serve as his Herald to find planets for him to feed on, thinking he can both save his home and other worlds by leading Galactus away from populated worlds. Galactus instead scrubs his memories and imbues him with a portion of the power cosmic, and the Silver Surfer is born. After encountering Earth and saving the planet from his own master, he starts to roam about the cosmos as he tries to find his way home to Zenn-La and his love Shalla-Bal.The series was cancelled after only one season thanks to Marvel's bankruptcy, ending on a cliffhanger (a planned Captain America cartoon was also a victim).
This series provides examples of:
- Brainwashed: Galactus wiped the Surfer's memory after turning Norrin Radd into his herald. The Surfer's first act was to offer Zenn-La, Norrin Radd's home planet, as Galactus's first meal. Only Galactus's earlier promise to Radd spared Zenn-La.
- Conspicuous CGI: Many elements in the series, but especially Galactus.
- Downer Ending: Thanks to it being unexpectedly cancelled, the series ends with the Silver Surfer apparently dead and the universe destroyed.
- Failure Is the Only Option: Goal: Find and return to Zenn-La. Would have been achieved in the first season finale if the producers hadn't decided to bank on a cliffhanger.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: Galactus' eyes glow brightly. So does his mouth when it opens.
- "Groundhog Day" Loop: One episode has Adam Warlock as a supersoldier created to fight the Kree. Fearing his power, his creators trapped him in a Groundhog Day Loop time anomaly in space in which he fights the same battle over and over again the same way (his own memory getting reset each time). New objects can be drawn in so how he fights exactly the same way against a growing number of ships from different eras is a mystery. The Silver Surfer is not affected by the anomaly and manages to pull Warlock out. By the end Warlock not being able to cope with events that transpired in the real world, flies back in the anomaly and goes back to fighting obliviously in the loop, presumably forever.
- I Gave My Word: In a particular bit of dramatic irony, Norrin Radd offers his own planet up to Galactus immediately after making a deal with him to become the Silver Surfer to save it and having his memory wiped. Galactus states that the planet is not for beings such as him and the Surfer because he once made a deal with an honorable man.
- Kirby Dots: The animated series combined this with Conspicuous CGI.
- Left Hanging: The cartoon ended with thirteen episodes, because Marvel went bankrupt. Episode 13 featured Thanos destroying all of the cosmos. The second season was meant to fix this.
- Never Say "Die": Thanos is the primary antagonist. In the comics, Thanos has a crush on (the embodiment of) Death, a plot which carries over into the show. Death, however, is called "Lady Chaos" for television purposes.
- Ominous Latin Chanting: The title theme music to the animated series had Latin-sounding singing interspersed at ominous points against the instrumental background.
- Recap Episode: The short-lived cartoon spoiled its second episode by devoting a huge chunk of it to recapping the events of the first episode in clips.
- Tears of Remorse: From Thanos, of all people - at the end of the second episode, he is clearly crying as he begs Lady Chaos to forgive him for failing her.
- Was Once a Man: In an episode the Surfer and a group of researches come across an enormous green blob monster on a universal library planet built by Precursors. It's actually the precursors (and the crew of a pirate ship) themselves after they devolved into this form and linked up with each other in a hive mind of knowledge.

Martin wins opening match at Olympic curling trials
WINNIPEG — Glenn Howard kept his sense of humour after losing his opening game at Sunday's Canadian Curling Trials.
"I guess we're not going undefeated," Howard said with a wry grin after losing 8-6 to John Morris of Vernon, B.C.
The four-time world champion from Penetanguishene,Ont., wasn't the only veteran skip to fall on the first day of the Trials, which will select Canada's men's and women's teams for next year's Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.
Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie team upset hometown favourite Jeff Stoughton 7-4.
Reigning Olympic champion Kevin Martin had a duel against Winnipeg's Mike McEwen, but the Edmonton skip finished with a 5-3 victory.
Toronto's John Epping was also victorious when he got by Calgary's Kevin Koe 9-8.
"They're probably going to be in it at the end of the week so that's a big first win," said Jacobs, 28, a runner-up at this year's world championships.
His team led from the beginning and widened the gap 4-1 after a double takeout in the fifth end scored two.
Even though the two-time world and three-time Brier champion Stoughton is beloved by local fans, the knowledgeable crowd of 10,214 at MTS Centre cheered in appreciation of Jacobs' tough shot.
"That extended the lead nicely and I think just kind of boosted everyone up a little bit," Jacobs said.
Stoughton said his rink didn't put enough pressure on Jacobs.
"But we didn't do much wrong, so not great, not bad," he said. "Course we'd rather win the first game than lose it, but we're not going to hang our heads. You can't in this event."
Stoughton, 50, is playing in his fifth Trials and has said this is his last crack at trying to earn an elusive berth to an Olympics.
Martin was relieved to beat McEwen.
"Holy smokes, what a game," Martin said. "Well, that's the ice, right. It's just perfect so every shot's makeable."
There's a fine line between the competitors.
"One different shot and Mike wins, and then we don't," Martin said.
"That's the way it's going to be here all week. There's going to be game's just like that all week and it's just going to be a real dog fight for the whole time."
Three of Manitoba's four rinks lost their first games, with Jennifer Jones the only victor after she put up a commanding 10-2 win over fellow Winnipegger Chelsea Carey.
Jones scored six in the sixth end.
"If we could score a six in every game, obviously I would be pretty excited," Jones said. "It's a long week but a short week.
"It's a pretty short round robin from what we're used to so you don't want to get behind the eight ball early."
It wasn't the only lopsided game as Edmonton's Val Sweeting defeated reigning Scotties champ Rachel Homan of Ottawa 10-3.
In closer matchups, Ontario's Sherry Middaugh defeated Saskatoon's Stefanie Lawton 5-3 and Renee Sonnenberg of Grande Prairie, Alta., beat Edmonton's Heather Nedohin 8-6.
Carey, curling without third Kristy McDonald who was out with the flu, said she wasn't letting the loss get to her and felt they played well, including alternate Breanne Meaken.
"We were just the wrong side of the inch," said Carey. "My last rock picked in three and we were just off on everything after that."
Jones may be one of the most successful curlers in Canada, but she has never managed to even come to winning an Olympic berth. She failed to make the playoffs in her previous two attempts in 2005 and 2009.
Homan said there were one too many picks in her loss.
"It's always a little bit different from tournament to tournament. We're just kind of learning the ice and getting a feel for it and next game we're going to come out a lot stronger," Homan said.
For Sweeting it was, well, sweet. The 26-year-old has only been in one Scotties and is far from being a favourite in the trials.
"Everyone likes a good underdog, so if that's us, that's totally fine with me," she said. "We were a little fortunate in the beginning of that game ... I struggled early, I don't think my team did."
Even the veteran curlers were a little star struck with the appearance at the trials of actor Will Ferrell, in character as anchorman Ron Burgundy.
"We were fooling around with him and it was pretty cool," Jones said.
Ferrell donned a kilt, entertained fans and did a little colour work with veteran TSN curling broadcaster Vic Rauter.
Martin was happy for the extra exposure.

It's Facebook question of the week time (clap, clap, clap)!
I've really been thinking about what to do with these videos. I mentioned it in a podcast I did with Joe Hackman yesterday and, in the chat room, everyone suggested I keep doing them.
Alright, "everyone" might be a slight exaggeration. It was Nancy Davis and Jason Konopinski, so it wasn't everyone. But they both said, "Don't stop!"
So I'm thinking about these videos and how to elevate them for next year. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you'd like to see or not see, for that matter.
And on to today's question.
It comes from Dallas Kincaid. Dallas and I "met" on Twitter, quickly became Facebook friends, and is one of the most sarcastic and inappropriate friends I have. And that makes him hilarious to me. For those of you who have experienced him on my wall, you know what I'm talking about.
He is the founder and operations manager of Xecunet, a company in Baltimore that does Internet, voice over IP, server hosting, and all that IT stuff that is necessary but no one understands.
He asks:
How often should I be sending email newsletters to my customers? I want to make sure I'm keeping my brand familiar without them feeling it's spam.
They're thinking about an email marketing campaign for 2012 and want to be sure they're doing it right.
I answer his question in the video below (which you can watch by clicking here, if you can't see it in your RSS feed).
Now it's your turn. What do you advise Dallas?
And don't forget! If you have a question for us, head over to Facebook and leave it on the wall there. If you have ideas for elevating this video series, I'd love to hear them!

@HowieSPM So what's your recommendation then?!?
@HowieSPM I'm gonna start creating fake email accounts just to send emails to you.
@KenMueller please make sure they all come from firstname.lastname@example.com 😉
@AmyMccTobin I, personally, think every day is too much. I even get tired of Rue La La and Gilt every day. Of course, I say that and everyone gets a daily email from Spin Sucks if they subscribe. Never mind. I'll shut up.
@ginidietrich Ha! And I always read my Spin Sucks. Sometimes I have to do a catch up after a week of 'real work,' but the email is a prompt. I am NOT promoting daily emails… I think it all depends on who you are and what you have to say. @danielnewmanUV – go Nuts – let's hear it.
@SocialMediaDDS I would consider the Spin Sucks email a form of email marketing. It doesn't have to be a newsletter, in the true sense of the form. Do you subscribe to our newsletter, Smart Talk? I haven't sent one in a couple of months. It's not a top priority for me…much to lisa gerber chagrin.
@SocialMediaDDS@ginidietrich@KenMueller@bdorman264 Here's the kernel of it: There's a difference between Email and Email Newsletters. That word Newsletters bores the hell out of everyone because they think "long winded and uncessary." I change the name to ANYTHING but newsletters: Tips, Happenings, Important Events…. whatever is relevant to what you might want to regularly send.
@AmyMccTobin@ginidietrich@KenMueller@bdorman264 Excellent suggestion….it's all in the packaging….
@AmyMccTobin@DannyBrown just make sure that what YOU think is important is actually going to be seen that way by those poor saps who will be getting your emails.
I tend to believe a lot of what I have to say is important. So I would be blasting people daily. LOL
PS – like the chic NY look today:)
@AmyMccTobin Ha! Thanks!
Darnit Gini – you know I don't watch your videos. Just write the answer. 😉
I say no more than 1x a month. And make sure the content is good and interesting.
@danielnewmanUV I say no more than one time a month, but stats prove us wrong. And I know you're like me…you don't like to be wrong.
I hate email newsletters. I rarely read the ones I subscribe to. Rarely open them, and rarely click thru. However I've seen studies that show you should send much more often, that once you hit a certain threshold, it doesn't matter how much you send. Clearly, I disagree.
I think email is still very effective in some business categories, but there has to be a real reason for it, and I think the structure and content of the email is probably more important than the frequency.
@KenMueller I think the daily deal sites have ruined us.
the worst thing about groupon? maybe- at least in the top ten things wrong with them, @ginidietrich @KenMueller
@faybiz I never signed up for them for that very reason.
Honestly, just like any other medium, it depends on your audience. Some audiences need daily doses, some may only respond to monthly doses (like a non-profit I work with). You have to test and see what happens. There is no right or wrong answer here, just like there is no right or wrong answer to using Twitter or other social media… if it works DO IT!
@keithbloemendaal Would you recommend he start with once a month or twice a month and build? Or… ?
@ginidietrich I would say 2x a month and build from there if you have something important or a promotion, you will know when it becomes too much if you watch unsubscribes and open rates.
@bdorman264 I love it when we agree. Except for the action shot piece. I don't know about that.
@ginidietrich@bdorman264 I think we can start a mini-series with Gini starring as Rambette who takes on whole armies of spin dealing PR firms and shady Social Media Charlatan's.
Hi Gini… good timing on this since I'm currently working on our newsletter strategy for next year. We sort of abandoned it in mid-2011 because the time-to-benefit ratio wasn't paying off.
Twice a month sounds like a bit much to me. We're going to do our email newsletter once a month in 2012, and this time we're really focusing on quality content. We're doing a whole series of videos featuring interviews with our clients highlighting why and how they use video. GOOD STUFF!
–Tony Gnau
@T60Productions I like the strategy! A lot!
@ginidietrich@T60Productions If you include free drink coupons count me in Tony!
@HowieSPM@ginidietrich@T60Productions Hmmm… one of the businesses we're featuring is Goose Island Beer Company. You might be one to something Howie! 🙂
@T60Productions@ginidietrich Send me some!
Nice turtleneck.
I try to do on e-newsletter a month, but seem to have more luck with getting people to sign up to Feedburner–those people hear from me at least 3 times a week, every time I do a new blog post. Coincidentally, i just did a blog post about getting signed up for my e-newsletter. Go figure.
@a_greenwood Ha! Thanks!
Yeah…as I typed an answer to Amy down below, I realized people get Spin Sucks every day if they subscribe. So…hmmm….
@ginidietrich That's one reason I don't blog everyday (rationalization alert!): I don't want to wear people out, so to speak. So far so good–site visits continue to grow at a reasonable pace and business is good. Have a great week!
Lots of great posts on this! I'm currently toying with either a twice a month or once every three week interval. I used to do one monthly but stopped for a couple of years, mostly because I wasn't tracking it properly and really using it to it's full potential. Oh, and I agree, I think an action shot would be much better for these videos…perhaps you could get a little gopro cam like the one I use for mountain biking and just aim it at your face while you walk the beast….just a thought…
@DallasKincaid You should try both – twice a month and once every three weeks and see what works best. Also try different days of the week. We have one client we send on Saturdays and their click through rate skyrockets.
@doug__davidoff And, as someone who received your email, it's really easy to scan and get the main points. It's very well done!
@ginidietrich well, you know, someone once told me that I got long winded with my writing, so I took some advice from her. I just can't remember who that was. 🙂

@doug__davidoff Hallelujah!!!! Value Trumps Frequency.
I am so surprised by that stat! I would've said the same thing (1x per month) if I had been asked the same question. While I get daily newsletter from news sites, I rarely see a brand pop up in my inbox more than 1x per month. I would say that if you have news, then share it but I hesitate to suggest sending newsletters if you have no news. So take a look at what you are sharing in your newsletter and ask yourself how often you are comfortable updating – having – content to share.
@C_Pappas I think what @AmyMccTobin says below about not calling it a newsletter is probably key. Spin Sucks comes to you daily, if you subscribe. Our "newsletter" has nothing to do with us. It's usually tips and tricks for getting the most out of your online efforts. I'm wavering.
I like the daily I get from Convince & Convert <- great example of how to publish tons of useful content in a daily newsletter. Jay's style is a 1,2,3, +, with links to articles (not necessarily written by him) related to a core theme/topic. Takes a lot of work though! At my company now we are trying to decide whether or not to do a monthly newsletter and what it would look like. If we stop calling it a newsletter, I think the ideas would flow more freely.
I have several clients who do this once a month, and all are happy. It's standard now.
@wabbitoid when something works it works. Why fiddle with it.
Twice a month isn't bad, but for us, we like to keep it with us just once a month, like you. It seems to work for us…I think. At this time, though, the company is still so small that we can't justify doing it more than once a month. I know I personally like to receive updates about once or twice a month, either is ok with me. Depends on what the company has to say and if it's really relevant. I've been unsubscribing from newsletters that get sent out once a day, just too much for me.
@MorganBarnhart You know, that's a good point. It probably depends on the resources you have. I'm in charge of our newsletter and it goes out maybe (MAYBE) once a month. I just don't have the time and it's not a priority when other things, like the blog, drive the same results.
Twenty-six times per year? I'm going to put my hands over my ears and pretend I didn't hear you say that. I plan to stick with once per month for the time being. I think I would become fatigued if I had to write two e-letters or more per month.
@Erin F. You should try different days that you send it. For instance, try a Monday morning one month and a Saturday morning another. I'd be interested to see your stats.
@ginidietrich That I can do. It's getting sent on Thursday this month. Last month, it was a Friday.
@manamica You're so smart. And now I want to spend every waking moment in December to prep this to start in January. Didn't we have some deal we wouldn't do this?!?
@ginidietrich sorry? I'll hold off all ideas until Jan ;p. I think what I meant to say, but instead geeked off on the test itself, my advice is to test, test, test 🙂
@manamica If I could like your comments X10 I would. Never Fear the Unsubscribes… it's a great title for a post that I now feel compelled to write.
@AmyMccTobin thanks :). I'd love to read your post! I wrote a post a while back "5 Reasons to Love Email Unsubscribes." @ginidietrich if your audience would be interested, I'd be happy to submit a revised version to spinsucks.
@manamica@ginidietrich Can you post the old version somewhere?
@manamica You nailed it. Thanks for explaining this along with the results.
I have to agree with you on the unsubscribes. I've seen a few people unsubscribe and spam complaints drop to near-nothing when you encourage people to opt-out (out of about 8000 people.)
Just like how open rates and CTRs are measured, so should the unsubs and spam complaints to discover any dark-spots or risks in your list. Not pissing people off is a good idea and will help you become an even better marketer.
Thanks again for sharing this. 🙂
@JoeManna@manamica A key to a lot of this is setting expectations up front. Always make it opt-in, and let people know what to expect in terms of content and frequency. If you tell them they will be getting an email from you every week (and not just in the small print) it helps keep people out who don't want that much to begin with.
@KenMueller you are making a fantastic point. The new model of opt-in gives frequency options. Not sure if you've seen that "how frequently do you wan to receive email from us." The only challenge with that is that until they've seen your content how will they know how frequently? So I've been thinking of testing a "resubscribe feature." To give people the option to change to a different frequency if they want to… What do you think? @JoeManna
@manamica@JoeManna ilike that idea. perhaps similar to what the forums or online boards do with subscribing to individual entries/posts, or a daily digest, or weekly digest.
@JoeManna absolutely! I'd much rather they unsubscribe than hit the spam button. Gosh I hate the spam action. It can be really damaging to the future visibility of the email in the inbox.
@manamica WOW!!! that is quite the valuable and awesome study. I'd just like to chime in and echo that sentiment. 🙂
@Lisa Gerber thanks Lisa! I was very fortunate to be able to work with a very large data set. That kind of testing is not possible small scale.
@manamica On a micro level I've found something similar. Monthly emails got missed, but weekly emails got opened at a much higher rate. Even though the content was pretty much the same.
Also found that emails on Sunday and made to look like plain text where the most successful.
To get the best click through I found that one link per post was the best approach and that the link should come in the middle of the page.
I am still thinking about "if you have had success doing it more than once a week let us know" isn't that what we have boyfriends/husbands for? 🙂
No really, even stores that I like get too much with emailing and then I have to unsubscribe and then to be really spammy the message says 'are you sure you want to unsubscribe?" Yes! and then you get a "sorry to see you go" email!
I wouldn't have left if you didn't spam me all of the time! Jerk.
@NancyD68 I just spit latte at my computer screen.
@ginidietrich@NancyD68 You SO don't want to hear my thoughts on what the frequency of THAT should be.
@AmyMccTobin@ginidietrich@NancyD68 "You SO don't want to hear my thoughts on what the frequency of THAT should be." that would really be off the rails… but I bet you raised a lot of eyebrows. 🙂
@ginidietrich Ah…I live to make you spit beverages at walls, computers…passerby…
If it's a newsletter of someone I enjoy reading I'd say bi-monthly – if i get something weekly and get busy it just piles up in my email and we know how long it takes me to read then! It's usally old news by the time I get some downtime to catch up on reading. I will say the short newsletters get my attention – they are easy to read and delete or save whatever the case may be. That's my two cents.
Sounds like the key advice is be prepared for a significant commitment. (+1 more comment Gini! haha) 🙂
Keep the video. Add me to the list of peeps requesting that. Not because I find them uber-valuable (even though I sometimes do), but because I think its a great example of integrated marketing and using different channels for different purposes.
@Sean McGinnis Sean I read your daily newsletter twice every day just so you know.
@HowieSPM And I re-watch Gini's weekly video every hour of every day….just to stay humble.
@Sean McGinnis You came so close to complimenting me. So. Close.
Why would I want to risk tearing the fabric of the space-time-continuum? @ginidietrich
Gini I have an idea. Once a week do a Google+ hangout or Live Video Chat where you answer questions right then?!
But I like your format now so I think it's fine to keep it the way it is!
@jennimacdonald that would be awesome. Actually you just gave me an idea..
@hackmanj@jennimacdonald A Google + hangout would be great. Hangouts are great collaboration tools for dispersed teams. I use 'em often.
@jasonkonopinski@hackmanj@jennimacdonald I like the idea of a Google+ hangout, too. I know I hope to use them at some point.
@jennimacdonald But I thought there was a limit of 10???
@jennimacdonald I like that idea! I'd have to do it in addition to, though. There is too much value in using the video on YouTube, here, and on the website. Maybe a Hangout once a month?! That'd be fun.
@ginidietrich@jennimacdonald I've used Screenflow to "tape" hangouts and then post to YouTube. Best of both worlds. (The screenflow can be edited down to make it more interesting…
@blfarris Thank you, I've been trying to find a successful way to record hangout!
@ginidietrich I'll hang with you anytime! : )
@jennimacdonald Love this idea. In fact, that's something I'm planning on doing in 2012. Oops! The secret is out!
@lauraclickim excited to learn about your idea. Please send me a link in the future.
Now @ginidietrich , let's be honest. @NancyD68 and I are important. Our opinions matter because we're not afraid to voice them. Loudly. 🙂
@jasonkonopinski@ginidietrich@NancyD68 YES THAT IS TRUE JASON. 😉
@jasonkonopinski@ginidietrich Me and Jason are the official hecklers. We NEED BADGES!
@NancyD68@ginidietrich I'd be remiss if we didn't include @Sean McGinnis in our ranks.
@NancyD68@jasonkonopinski@ginidietrich Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!
@Sean McGinnis@NancyD68@jasonkonopinski@ginidietrich Excuse me? You do need badges, at least if I'm the one making them.
@Sean McGinnis@NancyD68@jasonkonopinski Sean, you disappoint. I thought we shared a love for badges.
@Lisa Gerber@NancyD68@jasonkonopinski Lulz. You know all too well my love of badges. I want to reinvigorate the badges industry. 🙂
@jasonkonopinski@NancyD68 I never said you weren't important! I just said you didn't represent everyone in the chat room.
@ginidietrich@NancyD68 Oh good grief, Gumby. Quit be so danged literal. 😉
@jasonkonopinski@ginidietrich@NancyD68 Great conversation on email. And I love this video idea you're using. On a side note – actually Gumby was the free spirit, Pokey was the nervous Nelly and always worried 😉
We experimented with sending two emails per week to a small group of Correctnicity users. One early Monday to draw attention to questions closing and another at the end of the week to review what did/didn't. The idea was that it would encourage users to stay connected to the content and change their predictions as circumstances dictated. Those email got reported as spam. We don't do that anymore.
@jasonkonopinski Interesting. I wonder if it was content or too many emails?
@ginidietrich@jasonkonopinski If it was me, it would be too many emails. Even while working in the email marketing space, if I hear from someone more than once a week, I can become irritated. Thus, the report spam button.
People should be expecting your emails. Not you expecting them to read them. 😉
@JoeManna@ginidietrich@jasonkonopinski More often than not, that is a factor of host and you need to contact them to have you whitelisted. Some hosts have spammy reputations based on what others they host. Had that problem in a previous job with a non-profit. Had to go through a process to get whitelisted and it took awhile.
@KenMueller@JoeManna@ginidietrich There were a few obstacles that we've since addressed. A big one was the unsubscribe link. Rather than being a one-click, it was pointing to user preferences on the site. Google didn't like that.
If it looks or feels like spam, it is.
I recommend staying in contact at least once every other month, but not more than twice a month. Always depends on the expectations. My best recommendation is to send your list a poll and let them choose how often they want to hear from you.
If it's split evenly, have a "bi-monthly digest" and a "monthly tip" (or so).

@JoeManna We tried a poll with a client and it was funny what we got back. Some said, "You send us email?" Yet, when we checked, those were the people opening every one. Oy.

I send out an emailed newsletter when ever I have something interesting to report about my art activities. It works out to be about once a month. I have a list of about 300 opted in followers. In addition for hot news i use my twitter account with about 50 followers. Works for me.
@peterworsley Great point about Twitter working effectively for what we used to have to use email to do.
I had always been of the opinion that once a month was a good, reasonable number. When I designed and mailed newsletters for a local law firm, we realized soon on that while we wanted to be informative (and keep a frequent connection with clientele), the very last thing we wanted to do was to be an irritating presence in their inbox. Great point about Twitter.
@breannakatelynn I'm of the same mind. But it seems we might be wrong.
[…] Blog Link […]
The reality depends on the quality of the content. Once a month seems to be the norm, but that's because most newsletters are full of nothing buy promotions. Including the content a user actually wants, allows one to not only increase frequency, but it also will drive much higher engagement.

For the jazz devotee this is nearly two hours of top trumpet notes. For the regular filmgoer, it is good drama.
For the jazz devotee this is nearly two hours of top trumpet notes. For the regular filmgoer, it is good drama.
Kirk Douglas' single-minded concentration on a horn and the notes that come from it sets the character up for an eventual downfall, but after events carry him down to alcoholic skidrow, a happy ending rounds out the film.
Topnotch scripting job adapts the Dorothy Baker novel, and Michael Curtiz' direction misses no bets in walloping over all the drama and heart-tugs.
Douglas falls for Lauren Bacall and the marriage that results falls apart, he hits the bottle and winds up a drunk, only to be saved by the wholesome affection that band canary Doris Day has had for him over the years.
Young Man with a Horn
Warner. Director Michael Curtiz; Producer Jerry Wald; Screenplay Carl Foreman, Edmund H. North; Camera Ted McCord; Editor Alan Crosland Jr; Music Ray Heindorf (dir.)
(B&W) Available on VHS. Extract of a review from 1950. Running time: 111 MIN.
