'Dallas' recap: J.R.'s still grinnin' and dealin', but John Ross shows signs of catching up to the master
Yayyyyy! It's finally back, and our Long North Texas Nightmare of being without TNT's Dallas is over. My deep apologies for not blogging about the Season 2 premiere last week – I was sick and not even the thought of J.R.'s grin could make my brain work enough to write coherently.
So … for anyone who missed the two-hour season premiere on Jan. 28, here's a recap of what happened:
Episode 1: "Battle Lines."
John Ross (and J.R.) and Christopher (and Elena and Bobby) are still tussling over the control and direction of newly formed Ewing Energies. Methane? Oil? Pine-cone lotion? Who knows what'll win out, and frankly, let's be honest — who cares? In this show, what we care about are hot relationships, vengeful deeds and J.R.'s (the beloved, late Larry Hagman) eyebrows and grins. John Ross (Josh Henderson, who's developing an excellent grin of his own) is determined to be a bad boy, and he gets off to a good start.
Harris Ryland (Mitch Pileggi) tells Ann (Brenda Strong) that he's found their missing daughter, Emma (Emma Bell), who was kidnapped as a toddler from the State Fair 22 years ago. FINALLY, we get some sexy action in the Southfork pool, courtesy of Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe) and Elena (Jordana Brewster). Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) loses the governor's election because of a past misdeed. The real Rebecca (Alex McKenna) (Tommy Sutter's sister) arrives in town, determined to find Tommy (whom fake Rebecca (the amazing Julie Gonzalo) murdered, but that hasn't been discovered yet). Emma rejects Ann. Back at Southfork, heartbreak and tranquilizers ensue. End of episode: John Ross arrives at Fake Rebecca's (actually Pamela Rebecca Barnes, Cliff's daughter) to tell her they've now got the real Rebecca on their side now, and Christopher and Elena's marriage won't be annulled as quick as all that. Near kiss between John Ross and Pamela.
Episode 2: "Venomous Creatures"
John Ross watches Christopher and Elena working on fixing up an old crib for the twins that Christopher is expecting with his hated ex, Pamela. John Ross seethes. Judith Light shows up as Ryland's creepy mother (also called Judith). Bobby (Patrick Duffy, who's showing a lot more gumption this season) gets the Dallas police involved in the Emma-kidnapping case. Sue Ellen , despondent about losing the election, pours a big glass of white wine (NO, SUE ELLEN, DON'T GO THERE!!!) but she doesn't drink, and hides it when family arrives to comfort her. Pamela shows she's certainly no longer meek little Rebecca, crashing a Barnes Global board meeting and letting a ticked-off Frank (Faran Tahir) know that she's in charge now. J.R. promptly finds something scandalous that convinces the state attorney to let the Thing With Sue Ellen drop. When J.R. comes back to Sue Ellen's to celebrate, she kisses him on the cheek, and all of America (at least the people with hearts) just melted. It's been well-documented how close Hagman, Duffy and Gray were in real life, and it just hurt like hell to see that J.R. and Sue Ellen might have had another chance together were it not for Hagman's death (the actor died in November; the producers have said J.R. will be murdered, and his memorial service will take place on the March 11 episode). Elena gets a full partnership (25 percent each for her, Chris, Bobby and John Ross) in Ewing Energies after she completes a deal that'll save them a ton of money. When she hugs John Ross for agreeing to the split, you can see in John Ross' eyes that he still adores her. Christopher gives us his first really good Brow Furrow of the season. Christopher gets a package from Tommy, mailed a month ago in "case something happens to me," telling Chris all about his and Pamela's con, and that the Real Rebecca was also in on it, AND that Pamela may have had something to do with his disappearance. Bobby finds out that it was actually Harris and his mom who kidnapped Emma from the State Fair and spirited her away to England. John Ross, still sorta-wooing Pamela, quotes The Great Gatsby. This really surprised me – he reads fiction? – but he admitted liking it because it's "nice and short. There follows a VERY sexy back-and-forth negotiation about how they'll split Ewing Energy when and if they gain control. J.R. gets on the elevator to leave, but a few floors down, it reverses and starts heading back to the penthouse. The grin goes wild. John Ross is out of his clothes for way more than a kiss before he's even halfway off the elevator. This show is getting Very, Very Sexy.
Best lines:
"Battle Lines":
John Ross: "You know how they say men make up for their manhood by buying fast cars? Well, that goes double for diamonds," to a bride at her bachelorette party, seducing her even after she flashed her 5-carat engagement ring.
J.R.: "I just came over (to Ewing Energies) to deliver some muffins to the pretty little secretaries. Who would've guessed so many of them would turn out to be men? Where's the sport in that?"
J.R.: "You think the legal system is gonna get Cliff Barnes? You should hire some roughnecks and take him for a long ride."
The Dallas Morning News got a nice call-out during an early scene, when John Ross threatened to tell our society writer (Alan Peppard) about the bride's pre-wedding dalliance. He called Alan "her" (no actual names were used), but I think Alan has gotten over it by now.
"Venomous Creatures":
J.R. to John Ross, who's boiling over Christopher and Elena's newfound passion: "Makes you wanna punch something, doesn't it? … It's OK, you're young, use it. Love, hate jealousy — mix 'em up and they make a mean martini, and when we take over Ewing Energies, you'll slake your thirst, with a twist."
J.R. to Sue Ellen: "Darlin', I'm only gonna say this once, and I'll deny it the minute I leave this room, but the best decision you ever made was the day you walked away from me. In the past 20 years you've started your own foundation, you ran for governor and you beat the bottle. You can beat this, too."
J.R. to Pamela Rebecca: "You're not the first Pam to fox her way into the henhouse. I'm one for one on Pamelas. And I plan on being two for two."
Fresh Dallas and Dallas actor sightings (both episodes): Texas Motor Speedway (complete with driver Ricky Rudd and president Eddie Gossage); Kristy Stubbs Gallery, Highland Park Village, Museum Tower (where Pamela lives now in a penthouse, presumably with a nice view of the Nasher Sculpture Center gardens). Chase Tower, headquarters for Barnes Global). Dallas actors: Sean Hennigan as the horrified dad of the bride that John Ross seduces; Liz Mikel, de-glammed but still feisty as a judge in the annulment hearing; Kevin Page returned as J.R.'s henchman (the actor is also a talented artist – see Michael Granberry's story about him here), Doug Jackson as a doctor
And now, finally, on to Episode 3, "Sins of the Father," which aired Feb. 4:
Chris and Real Rebecca take their story to the police about the fraudulent Pamela Rebecca and, more importantly, the missing Tommy Sutter. Back at Southfork, Bobby tells Ann what he's learned about the "kidnapping" of Emma and urges her to fight for her daughter's affections, despite the lies that Harris Ryland and his mother, Judith, have told Emma about what a bad mom Ann was. At Museum Tower, John Ross stretches in bed, greeting Pamela when she comes into the room, fully dressed, with "I could use a little breakfast." Her reply: "I hear they have nice waffles at the Ritz." They verbally spar and tussle, and both John Ross and Pamela use the term "Darlin' " several times. John Ross is becoming J.R! Darlin', I must say, sounds very good on his lips.
At the police station, Judith confronts Bobby and Ann as they arrive to see Emma, who shows a teeny bit of emotion at Ann's passionate pleas to hear her side of the story, but in the end rejects Ann once more. Meanwhile, back at Southfork, J.R. is learning to use an iPad so that he can "erase the cloud drive with all the stuff Bobby had on me." Later, he uses the tablet to peruse his past press clippings. "Seems like I was quite a scoundrel!" Andres "Drew" Ramos (Kuno Becker), Elena's brother, arrives unexpectedly. He, Elena, Chris and John Ross all grew up together at Southfork, until Drew got in trouble with the law and chose the Army over jail (you can do that?). (Theory: Drew is really J.R.'s illegitimate son with Elena's mom, Carmen (Marlene Forte), the Southfork housekeeper. Oooh, the financial implications. And he does look a tad like John Ross, right down to that thin mustache). John Ross visits Sue Ellen and connives to get her on board in his quest to destroy Chris and Elena, by calling the loan she made to Elena to drill on the Henderson land.
The police discover blood in Pamela's South Side on Lamar condo (good luck selling that one now, guys), in the heating vent and grooves of that hip wood floor. The "high velocity" tells them someone was shot there (amazing CSI work, even without the presence of Dexter!). Christopher texts Real Rebecca to tell her she's in danger and to get out. She starts to leave the hotel in a hurry, but when she opens the door, there's …. da-da-da-dummmm …. Frank. And that's the last we see of her this episode. Maybe forever.
Meanwhile, back at Southfork, Ann overhears the attorney telling Bobby that there's nothing they can do against Harris over the Emma situation. The statute of limitations for prosecution has long since passed. Ann dejectedly gathers up her purse and leaves, unbeknownst to Bobby. At Harris', she demands that he admit the real reason he abducted Emma. He does: "You were about to leave me, after all I did for you, turning a gangly, raw-boned girl into a proper woman." Ann: "A broken puppet." Harris goes on to recite all that Ann missed: Emma's first steps, dance recitals, birthdays, bedtime stories. Ann shoots him and he falls in slow motion (just like Tommy did – apparently it's the only way to get shot on Dallas) onto his mother's no-doubt priceless Persian rug and wood floor (with those same pesky grooves that'll no doubt give up blood evidence). Ann leaves, no expression on her face.
Best lines:
John Ross to Pamela: "Now, Darlin', let's not consider this work. Let's consider this screwing Christopher and Elena and stealing Ewing Energies right out from under them." (They flip each other in bed.) Pamela: "I like to be on top, Darlin'." (Another flip.) John Ross: "Well, we have that in common, Darlin'." Annnnddddd … no one's going to work or breakfast just yet.
John Ross to Sue Ellen: "She (Elena) played me for a fool, Mama, don't let her do the same to you." Sue Ellen: "I was married to your father for 17 years. I think I know when I'm being played."
J.R. to Frank on surprising him at his home: "It's a sad day when an old man can sneak up on a super ninja. … It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out that you clean up whatever Cliff tells you to (i.e., Tommy's body after Pamela Rebecca killed him). … Tell me where the body and the gun are and I'll make sure they pop up" (to get Pamela arrested). Frank expresses doubt. "Frank, I'm J.R. Ewing. I can make a body appear in the middle of a church social without anybody knowing how it got there., We both want to destroy Pamela. … and it's a rare and beautiful thing when enemies share the same enemy.
Harris to Ann: "See, hearing all that [you missed seeing Emma grow up] didn't help at all, now did it?" Ann: "Oh, it helped a lot." And she shoots him.
Dallas actor sightings: Matthew Posey as the foreman for Elena's rigs on the Henderson property, Lydia Mackay as Chris' attorney.

If you plan to work on campus after you have completed your first semester at MiraCosta College, you must obtain a U.S. social security number, which is used by the U.S. government to identify wage earners for tax purposes. To apply for a social security number you must have a job offer on campus or an authorization for work off campus and a letter from the Institute for International Perspectives confirming your student status. Social Security numbers will not be issued to students who do not qualify with those requirements.
A social security number is not required for opening a bank account, registering for school, filing a U.S. tax form or applying for a driver's license. If you are required to file a tax return and are not eligible for a U.S. social security number, you will have to apply to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a Tax Identification Number (ITIN) on form W-7. This number may also be used for opening a bank account. MiraCosta will also issue to the student an identification number (ID) that is recognized only by MiraCosta College and can not be used as a social security number.
In order to receive a Social Security Number, you should apply in person at the Social Security Administration Office with the following documents:
Office Address:

All international students, regardless of whether they have U.S. source incomes, must file federal income tax forms. In California, state income tax forms also must be filed if money is earned in the U.S. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Code contains special provisions which apply to nonimmigrants in F status for whom certain income may be exempt from tax payment.
April 15th is the deadline each year for filing a return on income earned during the preceding calendar year. Each year toward the end of January, every U.S. employer prepares a "W-2 Form" for each employee showing the amount earned during the preceding tax year and the amount of taxes, federal and state, withheld. This W-2 Form is used in preparing income tax forms, therefore it is very important that you do not lose or throw the form away. If the amount withheld exceeds the amount of the tax obligation, a tax return must be filed in order to receive the refund.
The United States has income tax treaties with a number of foreign countries. Under these treaties, residents (not necessarily citizens) of foreign countries are taxed at a reduced rate, or are exempt from U.S. income taxes on certain items of income they receive from sources within the United States. These reduced rates and exemptions vary among countries and specific items of income. Learn more information on U.S. Tax Treaties on the IRS website.

If you are planning to transfer money from your country, it is to your interest to arrange the transfer prior to your arrival. Very few banks in the United States have a branch in other countries, so the transfer from your bank to a bank in the United States would be delayed and fairly expensive if not done properly. You should consult with the individual banks about the arrangements for transferring funds as well the different features, services and fees charged.
Most banks are open Monday through Friday from morning until mid-afternoon, and some are open also on Saturday morning. Upon opening an account, an ATM card will be offered in order to get money out of the account at any hour, day or night in the ATM machines. These cards can be used at automated teller machines (ATMs) all over the city, state, and country. ATMs from the Mission Federal Credit Union Bank are available at both Oceanside and San Elijo campus. There will be fees associated with using an ATMs that is not associated with your bank.
The two main types of bank accounts are checking accounts, which allow checks to be written, and savings accounts, which offer a place to keep money and earn interest. Some checking accounts also pay interest. Most people in the U.S. pay their bills with checks. Also checks may be necessary for paying your rent. Cash should never be sent in the mail to pay for a bill or for any other reason.
In order to open an account at most banks, you will need two valid forms of identification. A passport and a MiraCosta College identification card are usually sufficient. Some banks will also require a Social Security Number or a Tax Identification Number. At least $100 is usually required to open an account, and there will be a monthly service charge for the account unless a "minimum balance requirement" (as much as $500 or higher) is maintained. There will also be a charge to have checks printed. Banks often have "hidden" fees so be sure to inquire about all possible fees.

Public transportation is limited in San Diego and below we have listed some modes of transportation that you may use while living in California.
Bus is another mode of transportation used by many of our students. The North County Transit has two bus lines that come to our campuses. Bus number 302 arrives in Oceanside and there is not a bus currently going to San Elijo campus. You may purchase monthly passes and pick up schedules at the cashier's office at MiraCosta College.

For more information on San Diego commute you may visit: http://www.sdcommute.com
Bicycling is used by some of our students as the most economical way to get around the MiraCosta College campus. If you plan to ride a bicycle you should be aware of some safety procedures:
The easiest but not the cheapest way to move around is to purchase an automobile. A reliable used car costs at least $2,500. Additional costs having a car are the mandatory insurance as well as necessary repairs.
In order to drive in the U.S., all international students must obtain a California Driving License even if you have a valid international license. Prior to receiving a license the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will require:
After you have completed this process, a temporary license will be issued until a confirmation on your status is received by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). The actual driving license will be mailed to you as soon as this confirmation is received, and this process may take as long as 9 months.
For more information, please visit the DMV Web site.
If you purchase a car in California you must purchase insurance as well. The car insurance costs approximately $1,000 per year but it also depends on your driving records. Most insurance companies do require driving records for the past three years so it is advisable that you bring your driving records. In order for you to receive the cheapest insurance rate, you will need to "shop" (call or search through internet for the cheapest rate). Below, we have listed some web site addresses of car insurance companies:
Renting a car is an option for students that want to do some sightseeing and travel to places such as Disneyland, Universal Studios, Magic Mountain, and Sea World. If you consider renting a car, you need to know that most car rental companies require that you must be over 25 years of age, have a valid driving license, and a credit card. Below are listed some car rental web sites:

Michael Jordan Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
There is no more influential or iconic athlete to exist in the sports world than the legendary Michael Jordan. Regarded by many as the greatest basketball player of all time, it's hard to argue with his claim to fame as the best to grace the game when you look at his achievements and statistics from throughout his unforgettable NBA career. Credited with popularizing the NBA, Michael Jordan not only changed basketball forever, he also proved that athletes are some of the most influential people in the world.
In his early days on the basketball court, Michael Jordan was deemed to be too short at only 5ft 11 inches tall and often overlooked on his high school team. After a growth spurt and vigorous training, Jordan eventually broke out as a star on the varsity team at Emsley A. Laney High School and averaged more than 20 points per game in his two seasons on the roster. In his senior year, Jordan was selected for the McDonald's All-American team, before having to choose where he would play college ball from the mass of major universities fighting for his signature, but ultimately he chose to attend the University of North Carolina.
Throughout his college career, Michael Jordan averaged 17.7 points per game with 5 rebounds to produce one of the greatest three years in NCAA basketball history. Jordan won a number of awards during his time at North Carolina including voted to the NCAA All-American first team twice, as well as winning both the Naismith and Wooden College Player of the Year titles. Jordan then decided to not complete his fourth year in the NCAA, and instead entered the 1984 NBA Draft in 1984, where he was selected third overall by the Chicago Bulls.
Jordan's first season in the NBA was pretty spectacular. He posted an average of 28.2 points per game and a shooting percentage of 51.5%, which earned him a starting position in the All-Star game, the Rookie of the Year award, and an appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Despite missing most of his second season due to a foot injury, Michael Jordan returned to the court just in time for the playoffs where he set a record for scoring 63 points in Game 2 against the Boston Celtics. As Michael Jordan continued to write basketball history, he continued to set records in his third year in the NBA, becoming only the second player after Wilt Chamberlain to score more than 3,000 points in a single season and the first player to ever have over 200 steals with 100 blocks. Jordan's averages continued to rise as his game improved, resulting in the league MVP for the 1987-88 season as well as the award for the best defensive player for his 35 points per game.
Michael Jordan continued to really excel throughout his entire illustrious NBA career, leading the Chicago Bulls to a remarkable six NBA Championships with two three-peats. For his contributions to each title, Jordan was also named NBA Finals MVP an outstanding six times, with five incredible NBA Most Valuable Player Awards. Clearly a fan-favorite, Michael Jordan was also selected to the All-Star Game 14 times, in which he won All-Star MVP three times. Jordan's extensive list of accolades also includes an NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award, three titles as the league's steals champion, ten seasons as an NBA scoring champion, and recording the Chicago Bull's all-time scoring record. All of these titles do not even include his amazing statistics that prove just how incredibly talented Jordan was as a player. With 32,292 career points, 6,672 career rebound, 5,633 career assists, and the numerous NBA records to his name, Michael Jordan solidified his place in the Basketball Hall of Fame and as an NBA icon forever.

Did anyone watch this show? I thought it had a very forgettable first few episodes, and I gave up on it. But then a buddy of mine convinced me to watch the rest of the first season on DVD. Wow. Once everything from The Pattern started to come together, and with the introduction of Mr. Jones, this show really took off. Generally, the off-episodes (the ones that didn't focus on the ZFT) were weaker, but overall the show really had a great run, and there were some true surprises that I didn't see coming at all. Especially in the last couple episodes.
I'm now pumped for the start of season 2 this Thursday.

This version may be the very best Ryvita. Please let me know how I can order more.
very delicious
Posted by cleaneatingvegan on Dec 10, 2012
I prefer the light rye to the dark rye, a more subtle flavor for "chips" and salsa
Great texture!

Low sodium and a good crunch, exactly what I was looking for in a rye crisp.
Excellent 'light' crispbread
Posted by 5553047841534981789 on Sep 02, 2015

David W. Howell
Middletown, IN | Distinguished Ag Alumni: 2008
Besides traditional corn and soybean crops, the fruits of David W. Howell's labor are evidenced in semi-truck loads of watermelons, tomatoes, pumpkins, and sweet corn, today grown on 5,000 acres in four Indiana counties. He's also lending a hand to his son's operations on 15,000 acres in Bahia, Brazil, raising soybeans, sorghum, and cotton. With farmers on both sides of his family, Howell was born into the business, growing up on a Delaware County farm. He came to Purdue for his bachelor's and master's, both in agricultural economics. "It opened many doors for me and my family, and I learned to think, 'Why not do this?' and to go ahead and do it," he says. He and his wife Mary struck out on their own in 1972, borrowing equipment from his father and leasing 300 acres. Operations grew over the years and diversification kept them going. They planted a 3,000-tree apple farm in 1981. And for 10 years until 2007, their operations included fresh market fruits and vegetables. Each season, they employ more than 400. That they are still farming counts as his greatest achievement, Howell says. "That's what I'm most proud of, besides my family. We were able to be full-time farmers when so many of my peers couldn't." He's also served the industry and his community — on bank, education, Extension, and governmental boards — and regularly hosting farm tours. He recently helped rescue a 19th century church building, now a community center. His awards include Honorary Indiana Commissioner of Agriculture, Red Gold Master Grower, and Order of the Red Tie from Indiana Horticulture Congress. In his spare time, Howell enjoys working some more, traveling, and the political process. "I work behind the scenes when I'm asked. I enjoy the smoke-filled room much more than I do the front page," he says. "At Purdue, I learned how to reason, logically work through alternatives, and find answers, as well as understand the fundamentals of many disciplines. I gained the confidence to move ahead and innovate."

Spring Has Sprung!Posted Friday, March 23, 2012, at 9:53 AM
I had a headache when I left work today. But my grandkids were coming over to ride, and I knew it was going to get better. My grand daughter, Jilly has the 'horse bug' bad, and takes every opportunity to come and ride. It's what she thinks of when she sees a Sunny Day, or any day she knows the field won't be a muddy mess. Thank Heaven she has good horses and stuff at her 'disposal', cause I can't wait to see 'where she goes with it' She really just started riding last year, spending weeks with Wayne and I in Cascade, riding the pastures. There were times she was scared, and a couple 'near misses' ...so to speak. But she never ever didn't want to ride. We teach the 'safest ways' and she has gotten soooo good! To date, she has not hit the ground, and in many ways, that is getting less likely. However, in many more ways, it's becoming so much more likely, due to her confidence. I've told her parents, My son and daughter in law, that it is coming. We all have 'one coming' if we ride enough. One thing about a kid riding, is that there is so little weight in their little bodies. And really, so little strength. It would really take nothing for them to topple off.... practically a strong breeze could do it. I am on them hard about the ways I want them to sit, with their legs and seat, and I do not relent. I'm darn proud to say that Jilly is rarely 'wrong' in her seat/legs. So, I've been able to go to other things that are actually kind of advanced for one her age. 6. We teach adults who can't do what she does.....
Today was a super sunny day, so we just hung around outside for awhile, enjoying....
I felt my headache fading away. And why wouldn't it? Here I have some of my favorite people in the world....
Marshmallow shows here, that she is not one of those that is forced to partake in activities with the kids. She is right in on the fun. I didn't catch her at it (with the camera), but she was taking turns with the kids at drinking from the 'frost free' If she didn't like these kids, she'd be at the far end of the field.
Remember drinking from the hose when we were kids? Ya know, they say ya shouldn't do that. Impurities and such. I'm here to tell you, my well water is some of the BEST I've ever had. It's cold and so fresh and clean tasting. And there is something about getting it right from the spout that is so delightful.
Do you think they should be inside exercising their fingers/thumbs playing video games....or playing out here? What brings on the biggest contagious smiles?
Bryce is all boy, so naturally, he just about always has a stick. So, naturally, we have sticks all around our place, in all kinds of inappropriate places. Luckily, when we ask him to get them picked up, he doesn't mind that either. He'd have to do it anyway, cause I never take "No" for an answer.
I don't 'waite' on the kids much, I let them fend for themselves, as much as I think they can/should. If you're thirsty.... well, ya know where the water is.
So, now they are getting ready to ride. Again, I don't 'do it all' for them. There is grooming to be done.... And since I'm not riding, I'm not doing it.
Who me? note the stick!
Marshmallow has a knack for getting quite muddy.... heheheheh.... glad I'm not riding!
This is a horse that is not going to be rode today. Do you suppose she's saying "nanny nannny boo boo!" ? How rude!
Obviously, Jilly can't lift the saddle up, but the blanket is something she can practice on. And though she's going to ride Beamer, we let her practice on Marshmallow, so she doesn't just throw her hands up in futility. See the encouraging look on Marshmallow's face..."You can do it!"
And they're off/up!...whichever
Kind of looks a bit silly huh? Littlest person on biggest horse... but when asked today, "Who do you wanna ride?" He is her choice of the day.
That look of concentration sooooooooo reminds me of KTLM. Today, when I helped her up, and she settled into the saddle.... she actually sighed.... I'm not making this up. It was a physical happiness she felt ...and sighed.... then said "Oh, that feels good to be back" She hadn't ridden since Monday. Fields have been yucky, and it' was cold just yesterday (snow and all) And apparently, since Monday was tooo long. I didn't have to ask "What feels good?" Cause I know just what she meant. It's a girl/horse thing.
Anyway, that look of concentration.... I love it. She always warms him up... cause I insist. Walks and trots a bit....
Then she hits a lope. This is so nice. She sits so well. This is the "seat" I've mentioned. Legs forward, sitting back on her pockets, good posture, hands forward to give him nice loose reins. He's quite a gentleman, and just loping along nice and quiet. She's going to be in her first horse show this summer, and THIS is the picture that just might win the day.
Today, I'm just letting them play, not a lesson. I've told her, "You can do what you like, as long as it's right." So, she's made up a game with her Mom. "When we go by each other, we have to High 5!" You've seen lots of pictures of Jilly. I'll describe her personality a bit. She talks A LOT ... I mean....
A LOT! She's incredibly inquisitive, learns quickly, determined, well mannered, polite, interrupting, (cause she wants to talk A LOT) self improving, wants to be the best, Worries about not doing her best, a great big sister, and BOSSY. (No clue where she gets that from) So, when she made up this game, she is now in her element. Bossing her Mom around while horseback. Imagine the chaos!
Telling us 'whatfor' See the look on her face? That's bossy...and she's talking....a lot...... See the look on Beamer's face? Practically rolling his eyes, one ear on the path in front, one listening to her talk....a lot ... my headache is gone, but he might have one! Oh, now....that's funny!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. I don't like when kids are too stiff and scared to move around in their saddle. I don't think she's stiff.... and he appreciates the pet.... though I'm sure it's his head that hurts (all the talking ya know)....ehheeheh
OK, I lied.... wasn't going to give a 'lesson', but my house, my rules, and they can change at any given moment. I decided to teach her a bit about posting. So, here is her first posting trot photos. And she got it! yay! Luckily, Beamer knows this field like the back of his hoof, cuz he appears to be sleeping.
Well, I wasn't' going to ride, but Jess had to have a break, so I'm up.... in totally inappropriate clothing/boots. Oh well, all clothes are meant to ride in, and they are boots after all..In this pic, I'm on the phone with Wayne....
See what I mean by "Great Big Sister"? She hugging him...ahhhhh
Not to be outdone by my own kids, here is my spectacular leap over the jump. NO? My story!
Look ma!!!! No hands!
Jilly has done some trot overs..... so, why not jump?
Yep, why not jump...what's not to love? I'm not totally crazy, those logs aren't up..... but I bet they soon will be.
Beamer is 17 hands tall. That's TALL. And if you're just a squirt, it's real tall. But, as I've said, I don't do things for them....so she knows how to get off.
Take your left foot out, to just the toe.
Swing your right leg around
Take your left foot out of the stirrup, and start sliding down. HOLD ON
Down, down ...make sure nothing is caught on anything, if it is...(and her shirt was caught on the stirrup) uncatch it, while hanging on with other hand
Continue to drop
Til you land on your feet. Now, I didn't have her do it alone all the time. But I've had her do it, while I have hold of the back of her coat, shirt, belt loop, to make sure they don't fall back on their butt (too hard, cause I do let them know it can happen) and to not fall under the horse. I'm not too worried about these horses, cause they are gentle, but no one needs to be under a horse. But she can do this by herself now, or I'd be right there. I guess I should add "Don't try this at home" There has been a lot of practice, but yes, you might be thinking, "Accidents happen" Yep, but we do the best we can to make sure they know how to respond, in case of an accident.
Another key point here, is that I have her get off at different spots in the field...or wherever we are. I never want him thinking that she'll always get off in one spot, especially by the gate or barn. If he thought that, he'd always be wanting to go there. Horses can be like that..... Barn sour, etc..... so, we do our best not to help create that. He never knows when it will be over, or where.
Ta da!
Yep, my headache is gone

Little ones are great fun. My 3 year old grandson stole the show earlier this week when he got his Mom's e-book out of her purse and bought $46 worth of DVD rentals and disks while Mom was filling out job applications on her computer. The fun part was that the little man got it charged to Grandma's credit card.
Much rather have him drinking water from the hose or horse trough than pushing his grandma's buttons. I have to live with her.... :-)
Great story, Jessie.
-- Posted by wh67 on Fri, Mar 23, 2012, at 11:52 AM
Love the pictures Jessie. It looks as though our little cockleburr friend is back.
I can remember hanging from one foot in the stirrup trying to get off of my horse.
I was never as confident about horseback riding as my siblings. I must have taken after Mom.
But I did learn to brush the horses and saddle them at an early age.
I had a black saddle with silver trim. It was pretty fancy for its day. I think that Dad traded something for it.
yep, those cockleburrs can be a bit of trouble, especially when they come into contact with your horse.

12 Mega pix is good.. Really anything with a minimum of 10 is great. And Kodak does a great job with cameras. So awesome in fact, I don't know why they don't make a DSLR.
One of my first was a Kodak, still have it, still love it.
But I'm definately hooked on Canons. A couple of mine do HD video also, and I love that too. Great for showing lesson folks.... "I told you to do this...and this is what you did!" hehehehe
-- Posted by jessiemiller on Fri, Mar 23, 2012, at 10:59 AM
My Kodak is 12 mega pix with a 5X zoom. I still want a canon but afraid it might be to complicated for me
-- Posted by MsMarylin on Fri, Mar 23, 2012, at 10:41 AM
Well, that's a Canon for ya. (and many other brands too) 15 Mega Pix.... and settings (like Melodie was talking about) for high sun, and sharp color.
-- Posted by jessiemiller on Fri, Mar 23, 2012, at 10:34 AM
And the pictures are crisp and clear. The drinking pictures looks like I could stick my hand out and feel that water.
-- Posted by MsMarylin on Fri, Mar 23, 2012, at 10:29 AM
Yep, it's good clear water.... Love the splashing !

I am interested in this Community, County, and the beautiful state of Idaho. Most of my photos will be in Idaho, but from time to time, they will be my vacations aay from Idaho. You'll see lots of my Children and Grand children, along with others in my family. Of course there will be horses and horse related things, and things I photo'd horseback.

Job well done
To the Journal editor:
I would like to send out a truly heartfelt thanks to Bob Hansen of Fox Negaunee and his service department manager Neil and his assistant Josh Hawkins for helping me with what was a dangerous and perplexing brake problem on my 1993 Plymouth minivan last year.
Not having the old diagnostic tools to trouble shoot the problem, they gave me a loaner car for free and searched for an older Chrysler dealer that could do the job. After a month one was found at Riverside Escanaba.
And another big thanks to head of operations Matt Dagenais, his service managers John Malner and Tom Cass and their very professional mechanic, Nick Erickson. You missed your calling Nick. You should be a surgeon.
And the Chrysler Corp. in doing one hell of a job supplying new switches and pump motors for this vintage machine and keeping a customer since 1985 satisfied. Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne should be proud of you.
My old van is still on the road for good reasons, one being that it is a mechanical marvel of Chrysler engineering, it was well maintained in California so it was spared the salt dip until 2009, preventive maintenance was a wax job twice a year.
Made in America, over 190,000 miles and 20 years old. You gotta love it.

Ending polioPosted Tuesday, February 1, 2011, at 6:46 AM
Did you see Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" Monday night? The topic was Gates' campaign to end polio.
At one point, Gates gives credit to Rotary International as a key supporter of the program. Long-time Shelbyville residents and regular readers of the T-G will recall that Rotary's involvement with polio vaccination was the initiative of the late James L. Bomar Jr. of Shelbyville, who served as Rotary International president in the late 1970s. Quoting from a history timeline at the RI web site:
1979: The Rotary Foundation funds the first Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H) Grant: a project to immunize six million Philippine children against polio. RI President James L. Bomar signs an agreement with the Philippine government to begin immunization and administers the first drops of vaccine to a Philippine child. The grant sets the stage for Rotary's decades-long commitment to the eradication of polio.
Anyway, the goal of eliminating polio is tantalizingly close, but, according to Gates, much work remains to be done.

It was a great interview, also showing why viewers of Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert's shows tend to be the most well informed and knowledgeable people about politics and current events.
Even thou Fox News' Bill O' Reilly likes to refer to Stewart and Colbert's audience as "stoners" and "slackers", a Pew Research study of various media outlets found that when asked a series of political and current events questions, viewers of "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" scored almost twice as high as Fox News viewers.
Not suprising.

Mr. Carney,
I found the "copyright Notice" I was telling you about this past summer and thought I would see what you thought about it.
It appears that it would protect someone who was using copyrighted material as educational material to back up what they were stating as long as they weren't charging anything for the information.

This is off-topic for this blog post; please e-mail me if you need followup.
You'll have to refresh my memory; I don't recall our previous conversation. I'm well aware of the doctrine of fair use, as are most content creators. Be aware that it primarily covers the use of short excerpts, and that academic and journalistic purposes are relatively strictly defined. I could not, for example, make spiralbound copies of some copyrighted nonfiction book and hand them out to my friends simply by announcing that my purpose was to educate them. I could, if I were a classroom teacher, copy a page or two from that book and hand it out to my students to help illustrate a particular point. There's a big difference.
The gray area between the two is where intellectual property lawyers make their money.

In Oman between 1988 and 1989, a polio outbreak occurred amongst thousands of fully vaccinated children. The region with the highest attack rate had the highest vaccine coverage. The region with the lowest attack rate had the lowest vaccine coverage. The Lancet, 21/9/91

In short: A lovely half marathon in a lovely part of the worldIn full: Fantastic race. Organisation was faultless, weather was a bit too sunny but can hardly blame them for that.Water stations plentiful and well manned, exemplary marshalling. Nice t-shirt and especially welcome was the tea and sandwiches at the end!This course is not flat, there are plenty of gentle uphills to keep it interesting. The mix of seaside, fishing village, forest and countryside makes for an constantly changing background and the finish beside the cathedral is lovely.Got a PB so a little biased but I'd definitely recommend it ... and I'll be back next year!Date of review: September 2, 2007
In short: Very well organised and friendly.In full: Small race but very slick. Well marashalled and more water stations than you though possible in race of this size. Well worth the journey.Date of review: September 2, 2007
In short: Beautiful course. Well organised. Great value. Pity I couldn't run faster.In full: Nice local feel. Not that many runners (around 100) so you're on your own for long periods. The sun was hotter than you would expect although plently of water stations and marshall encouragement. I could have done with a couple more hgels and an outboard. Would do another, contrary to my Steve Redgrave-esque "shoot me if I ever sign up for that one again" chat at the end.Date of review: September 19, 2006
In short: Well organised early autumn halfIn full: Well organised, plenty of water stations, pretty flat course with little traffic, and lots of marshals. Seems to be run by particularly friendly runners ! Hot again this year, but that isn't really the organisers fault !!!Marathon also starts an hour and a half before the half and 10k so if you are towards the back of that there will still be others around when you finish.Date of review: September 11, 2006

Nancy Brinker, former U.S. ambassador to Hungary and founder of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, entertains in a style befitting her many roles. Her dinner parties often bring together political leaders, captains of industry, philanthropists and scholars, so it is imperative to fête guests in a warm and meaningful way. That often includes elements that are important to her—her wine glasses bearing the presidential seal, for example—and food that is both wholesome and elegantly prepared. Miniature chocolate tarts and other petite pastries are a thoughtful way to end a meal.
The recipe is featured in Palm Beach Entertaining, a beautiful coffee table book released in September by Rizzoli. All proceeds from book sales benefit the Children's Home Society of Florida.
Chocolate Tarts
Serves 4
- 4 tbs. (½ stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- ¼ cup chopped bittersweet chocolate, melted
- 1 tbs. brandy
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 4 whole strawberries for garnish
In a large bowl, beat the butter, powdered sugar, and salt together until pale in color. Add the egg yolk and mix well. Add the flour and cocoa powder and form the mixture into a bowl. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Roll the dough to a ¼-inch thickness and cut out 4 circles to line 4 holes of a muffin pan. Butter the pan and line with the chocolate dough. Place in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes, until the shell is cooked. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan until cool enough to transfer to a decorative serving platter or individual plates.
In a small bowl, mix the chocolate and brandy together. In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until fluffy. Add the chocolate and brandy mixture and mix well. Divide the mixture among the chocolate shells and refrigerate until ready to serve.

I have arrived safely to San Francisco, and was able to check-in at the hotel, pick up my registration badge for Oracle OpenWorld 2011, and attend the first keynote session. This is the largest Oracle OpenWorld event to-date, with over 45,000 attendees from 117 different countries. There are 520,000 square feet of exhibition floor, and over 2,400 educational sessions. The conference is spread across the different buildings of the Moscone center, as well as nearby hotels. On average, attendees will walk seven miles during the week.
Larry Ellison was the keynote speaker for this first kick-off session. He focused almost exclusively on server and storage hardware. He feels that business is all about moving data, not doing integer math.
- Exadata
At the beginning of 2011, Oracle had only sold about 1,000 Exadata, but they have a sales target to sell an additional 3,000 Exadata boxes by year end. The Exadata offers up to 10x columnar compression, and has 10x faster bandwidth (40Gbps Infiniband versus 4Gbps FCP). If you have a 100TB database, it would take up only 10TB of disk with this approach. He claims that the 90TB of disk you don't have to buy can then be used to buy more DRAM and/or Flash SSD.
(Realistically, since SSD is 15x more expensive than spinning disk, you can only purchase about 6TB of Flash for the 90TB you save on disk!)
Larry claims the design point for Exadata and Exalogic was to offer a system that was more powerful than IBM's fastest P795 computer, but cheaper than commodity x86 hardware. His secret is to "Parallel everything" for faster performance, and no single points of failure (SPOF). Exadata offers up to 10-50x faster query, and 4-10x faster OLTP. To keep costs low, Exadata uses all commodity hardware except the Infiniband. He cited various customer examples:
- A company replaced 36 Teradata with 3 Exadata and result was application was 8x faster.
- Banco Chile 9x faster than previous system
- Deutsche Post 60x faster
- Sogetti gets 60x faster backups.
- French bank BNP Paribas 17x faster and no change to applications.
- Proctor & Gamble 18x faster
- Merck 5x faster
- Turkcell 250TB compressed to 25TB, 10x faster
The problem was that in each example, he said what it was compared against was the old previous system, which varies and could have been an older Sun system, or an old system from HP, IBM or Dell. Perhaps it was a freudian slip, but Larry mistakenly said "Paralyze" your applications, when he probably meant to "Parallelize".
- SPARC Supercluster
Of all their 380,000 Oracle customers, 70 percent have SPARC/Solaris and/or Linux. Last week, Oracle announced the new SPARC-T4, which Larry claimed was 5x faster than the previous SPARC-T3. Larry feels that for the first time ever, a non-IBM CPU can challenge the long-standing rein of the IBM POWER series processor. Larry admitted that the IBM POWER7 chip actually did some tasks faster than the SPARC-T4, so his work is not yet done, but they plan to offer a new SPARC-T5 next year that will be 2x better than the SPARC-T4.
Larry compared the I/O bandwidth of serv ers based on SPARC-T4, compared to POWER7, and found that the SPARC-T4 has double the I/O bandwidth, for a cost that was only about 1/4 the cost of a mainframe. IBM offers both. POWER7-based servers for CPU-intensive workloads, and System z (S/390)-based systems for I/O-intensive workloads. Larry feels that even though POWER7 is superior than SPARC-T4 for mathematical calculations, all business applications are focused on I/O-bandwidth to move data, not computations.
(Fellow IBMer Carter O'Mahoney has already posted a response on his post [Challenging Oracle's SPARC SuperCluster Claims].)
Larry claims the new SPARC-T4 can do 1.2 million IOPS. He uses 40 Gbps Infiniband instead of traditional SAN-attached FCP solutions.
- Exalytics
A new "box" called Exalytics, combines their commodity hardware platform with a hueristic adaptive in-memory cache, their latest "me-too" solution that compares with what IBM already offers in [IBM SolidDB]. In fact, their me-too is not even internally developed, but rather the result of an acquisition of a company called "Times Ten". I thought it was interesting that the only piece of Oracle software mentioned during Larry's 90-minute speach, was this piece of acquired technology. The new Exalytics product run on a small rack and grow, analyzing relational data, non-relational OLAP, as well as unstructured documents. The result is what Larry called "the Speed of Light".
He also mentioned that Bob Shimp would kick-off the Cloud later in the week. Given that Larry himself thought that Cloud was a stupid, over-marketed term that nobody has deployed over the past few years, to a complete believer, claiming that over 20 live demos will be given this year on Cloud.
Perhaps the funniest quote was his motivation to use Infiniband as the interconnect
"Ethernet was invented by Xerox when I was a child."
-- Larry Ellison

Caught in the midst of a torrential storm of errands, brides-to-be are apt to leave a detail or two hanging.
The Knot asked several beauty experts for their wedding day advice, and they had a few tips sure to be appreciated by women getting ready to walk down the aisle.
According to the source, brides should seek help from professional makeup artists when attempting a complicated task, such as covering a tattoo or applying their own cosmetics. Most of the experts also seemed to agree that less is more when it comes to makeup and hair.
Makeup artist Mimi Johnson told The Knot that brides should pay special attention to their brows, as they frame your face. Schedule an appointment with an aesthetician a few days prior to the wedding to avoid redness.
When selecting your cosmetics, makeup artist Allison Sammel had one piece of advice.
"Waterproof, waterproof, waterproof. Many women make the mistake of assuming that they won't cry on their wedding day when, in actuality, they always do," she said. "Use waterproof foundation, primer, eyeliner, and mascara. We don't want makeup running down the face from either tears or too many dances."
A water-resistant tubing mascara is a great option for brides who don't want to worry about tears or touch-ups, as the long-lasting formula won't smudge or smear no matter how many tears are shed.
