Consequences are an intricate part of our day-to-day lives; they are the result of .
our every action and are our only real benchmark for right and wrong. Macbeth .
experienced many consequences in his rise to power and his subsequent descent. Because .
Macbeth was of the opinion that he was not accountable for his actions he never .
actually took the time to foresee their consequences. It was this complete lack of .
regard that led to the murder of Duncan, the first act of treachery that sent Macbeth's life .
spinning violently out of control. The appeal of power was too great for Macbeth. The .
prediction of the three weird sisters, three people he had never met before, was enough to .
make him betray his family, his own flesh and blood as well as his country. While this .
murderous act earned Macbeth the throne it was not enough of a reward to quell his .
bloodthirsty nature. Macbeth continued to perform calculated acts of violence with a .
complete disregard for the consequences, murdering his friend and fellow war hero .
Banquo. The burden of blame, however does not rest entirely on Macbeth's shoulders, his .
wife was equally deceitful and had the same blind ambition. It was she who originally .
convinced him to that murdering the king was the only way to obtain true power. .
Macbeth's acts of violence and his lack of regard for the consequences led to the loss of .
his kingdom, the respect of his peers and his life.
Through Macbeth's treachery much was lost, the first of which was his life, which .
came about as a result of his actions. Even though Macbeth went to great lengths to .
conceal his crimes and convince others that he was not capable of such atrocities a .
lingering doubt still remained in the minds of those around him. It was this doubt that .
initially triggered the uprising that caused Macbeth's ultimate demise. At the .
commencement of the play Macbeth was considered something of a hero he had bravely .

Lodge at Cloudcroft
Cloudcroft, New Mexico
The Night Watchman: Could you give us some background on the lodge and the story of Rebecca – your resident ghost? Who was she and, if you know, when did she first appear?
Marshall: The Lodge was originally constructed in 1899 by the Alamogordo and Sacramento Mountain Railway. It was a tremendously successful resort and became the centerpiece of Cloudcroft. However, on June 13, 1909, The Lodge was destroyed by fire. By 1911, The Lodge was rebuilt on its new scenic location, just a short distance from the original location. Since that time, The Lodge has had improvements and renovations, but the bulk of the historic construction remains virtually unchanged. The Lodge has entertained and hosted hundreds of politicians, artists, entertainers and business leaders. We have even had such notables as Poncho Villa, Judy Garland and Clark Gable. Conrad Hilton was also the manager of The Lodge during the 1930's. However, the most famous visitor to The Lodge is Rebecca.
We have limited knowledge of her, but we feel that we have a good idea of who she was. She worked for The Lodge as a chambermaid and performed many general duties. She was known to moonlight in more intimate ways with certain guests. Her seductive red hair and blue eyes well matched her flirtatious nature. Her boyfriend was a lumberjack who most likely worked for the railroad company in their search for timber and railway ties. This meant that he would not see her very often, so she would be able to perform her extra duties without worry. One night he returned without notice, only to find her in the arms of another man. It's not clear exactly what happened next, but we do know that she was murdered. Many believe that he chopped her up and buried her remains somewhere on The Lodge grounds. Regardless of where her remains may be, her ghost continues to haunt The Lodge to this very day.
Many of those who work here and visited have reported strange occurrences. It has been said that ashtrays have been seen sliding across tables unassisted, doors open and close for no apparent reason, furniture has moved, lights have turned on and off by themselves, balls of light have floated in different areas, among other unexplained events that continue to be reported. We even have a few reports of people seeing her apparition in various situations, and in one case, a young girl named Rebecca was being escorted down the stairs by the ghost Rebecca. None of the events seem to be threatening or frightening, but more of a fun and playful nature.
I, for one, am thrilled that we are dealing with what seems to be a fairly harmless phenomenon, as opposed to a more violent energy or poltergeist. Let's just hope no one gets her in a bad mood.
The Night Watchman: Are there any photos you know of or some sort of physical evidence of Rebecca's presence? Also, your lodge was featured on "Weird Travels"… Did the crew doing the investigation come up with anything while they were there?
Marshall: We don't have any photos of Rebecca or paranormal activity, nor am I aware of anyone that does. No one recalls if anything happened to the crew of Weird Travels, but there was a crew from El Paso that had strange technical problems. I believe it was with KNME. There was a large portion of the tape that didn't come out right. Their prompter also kept showing garbage.
The Night Watchman: On our interview, you said The Lodge has a kind of scrap book – stories from your guests – about the strange events that have occurred over the years. Could you elaborate on what one may see in this scrap book and a few examples? Plus any other thoughts about The Lodge you may have.
Marshall: I can finally provide you with a couple of excerpts from the Rebecca stories book. One of them is quite interesting.
*Editor's Note: The Lodge has a book at the front desk with stories, written by the guests, of their encounters with Rebecca while visiting The Lodge.
This occurred in 1992. A few weeks before a couples' wedding, the woman was awakened by noises outside their door. She shut her eyes to go back to sleep, then heard the door open! The light from the hallway spilled briefly into the room until the door was closed. Now, wide awake, she looked around the room to find out who it was. She became aware of a presence at the foot of their bed. Afraid to look at her, she simply asked what Rebecca wanted.
"It's about him," Rebecca replied, indicating the sleeping man. "Promise you will always, always tell him you love him. It is very important that you always tell him and show him how much he means to you."
The woman agreed to take Rebecca's advice. That was the last time she saw Rebecca, and until her husband passed away, through rough and smooth times, she did her best to abide by Rebecca's instructions.
I was touched by that story.
In another instance, a couple of friends went into the tower and sat down. They claim that Rebecca appeared, sat down with them and proceeded to tell them about an artist's portrait of her. She said she liked it, but it didn't have any freckles. Rebecca said she like to play the role of caretaker at The Lodge and even escort certain people – usually without their even knowing.
The following is a transcript of the Ouija board session held in the Governor's Suite at The Lodge at Cloudcroft sent to us from the manager at Cloudcroft, Marshall Gladstone. He received it from the group who conducted the session.
After calling for contact with any spirit that had a message for us, the board spelled out the word "QUESTION". We asked for the name of the spirit we had contacted.
The answer was "BECKY".
Question: Is this the same spirit that The Lodge refers to as "Rebecca"?
Question: Why do you stay here?
Question: Where is your body?
Question: Do you mean this place?
Question: Do you mean the lumberjack who supposedly killed you? And, if so, what is his name?
Question: Was he ever associated with The Lodge in some way? And, if so, is there a place where we could confirm his existence?
(Note: We did not explore this answer to find out whether it meant the Janitorial office of today or of the 30's)
Our next question attempted to find out how she was murdered. After getting no response, we decided that Rebecca might not have been murdered in the truest sense of the word. So, we asked:
Question: How did you die?
Question: Did Peter push you?
Question: Did he mean to kill you?
Question: Where did it happen?
(We assume she means the Red Dog Saloon here at The Lodge)
Question: Did anyone see this happen?
Question: Are you interested in going into the light?
Question: Do you know what to do?
Question: Are you afraid?
Question: Of what?
That concludes the transcript that we have from the group. They also told us that they deleted certain questions and answers that were of a personal nature to the participants.
The information about Rebecca is not what is commonly believed. Namely, that she was discovered by her lover in the arms of another man and then murdered. But… who knows? We don't have much information at all on her.

What do you call it, garage? (What do you call it?)
What do you call it, garage?
What do you call it, urban?
What do you call it, urban?
What do you call it, two-step?
What do you call it, two-step?
Tell us what you call it
[Verse 1]
I don't care about garage
Listen to this - it don't sound like garage
Who told you that I make garage?
Wiley Kat'z got his own style but it's not garage
Make it in the studio but not in the garage
Here in London there's a sound called garage
But this is my sound, it sure ain't garage
I heard they don't like me in garage
Cause I use their scene but make my own sound
The Eskimo sound is mine recognise this it's mine
You can't claim what's mine
It's my time to beat you up
I don't hate you but some of you have got a problem
I'm putting you out of business why is that a problem
What's your problem?
What the heck my name is problem, remember?
[Verse 2]
Why'd you think that I'm stupid?
I got brains I could never be stupid
You can never use my name to make your raves and jam
I won't turn up, I'll stay at home with my girl and jam
Can't threaten me with that bad boy talk I'm not scared sorry man
I've seen too much I don't give a monkey's
Swing from tree to tree just like monkies
Who influenced me to be funky
Who influenced me to make Eski Beat
I've made Eski Girls and Eski Boys
Move there feet to the sound you can hear
You can hear I hear you trying to stop my record sales
Record deals like the belt can't hold the waist in (the waist in)
If it gets too big and it's tremblin those pots
It blows up and we win (I'm winning)
Ready to say my goodbyes
Goodbye to the man who don't like me
Goodbye to the woman who don't like me
Goodbye to the fingers pointing at me
Goodbye to the promoters that hate me
Goodbye to the people that's hassling me
I'm turning over a new leaf
Get sharp like a knife in the sheath
Stay sharp like a knife cutting beef
Cut the strings, there's no grief
If you don't cut the strings there's more beef
See I get the impression I'm not wanted
So I'm leaving your scene that's what you wanted
Thats what I wanted
I'm on my way now
Wish me luck I'm doing my thing now
To the fans let's go everyone who likes this let's go
Everyone who likes that go that way
Go that way, go that way, go that way
Go that way, go that way, go that way
Everyone who likes this come this way
(come this way) let's go this way
Let's go this way, let's go this way
Let's go this way, Let's go this way
[Verse 3]
I'm carrying weight, I'll break everyone down
Take everybody down
Any crew any sound
Any MC who's in my way I break down
I'mma show you now it's all changed round
I remember when things were the other way round
When the world got colder and it changed round
I go to any manor and its all changed round
I want everybody to follow this sound
So don't deny the power of my empire
When I'm hit I'm straight back to my empire
No more crew so what we got an empire
Roll Deep empire high flyer high power
I'm a compulsory buyer
Go to the shops and I spend them buy what I want and
This is for Roll deep empire
If you work hard then you can be a buyer
Like me
Wiley's joint bringing grime into the limelight

With the January transfer deadline fast approaching, it's time for Everton FC to begin considering the selling of players.
The infamously cash-strapped side has little hope of making a major acquisition, but by freeing up some space on the wage sheet, David Moyes will at least be able to consider improving the squad.
Week after week, Everton has been beaten by teams whose payrolls dwarf their own by tens of millions of dollars. As Manchester City is fast proving, money buys wins in the Premiership. Currently a point outside the relegation zone, the boys of Goodison Park could do with some wins.
Despite their loyal service to the People's Club, here are four Toffees Moyes should part with come January.

The Lampyrinae are a large subfamily of fireflies (Lampyridae). The exact delimitation, and the internal systematics, are a matter of debate; for long this group was used as a "wastebin taxon" to hold any fireflies with insufficiently resolved relationships. Regardless, they are very diverse even as a good monophyletic group, containing flashing and continuous-glow fireflies from the Holarctic and some tropical forms too. The ancestral Lampyrinae probably had no or very primitive light signals; in any case several modern lineages have returned to the pheromone communication of their ancestors independently it seems.[1]
The Cyphonocerinae were once contained herein but they are well distinct. The Psilocladinae on the other hand seem to be a de facto junior synonym of the tribe Photinini, but this requires further study. The Amydetinae are a former subfamily that is nowadays largely but not completely contained herein too. The tribe Pleotomini seems to be a specialized lineage of Lampyrini and is here included therein, while the Photinini seem to comprise two rather distinct lineages, one of which might warrant separation as tribe Phosphaenini. Meanwhile, the Cratomorphini could just be an assemblage of unrelated ancient Lampyrinae and altogether invalid as a tribe.[1]
With these changes and uncertainties, several genera are of very badly resolved position in this group; for example:
- Amydetes
- Lamprigera
- Lucidina (Photinini/Phosphaenini?)
The genus Pristolycus is better tentatively included in the Luciolinae.[2]

Composer Bedrich Smetana Work Title The Moldau Date 1874-1879 Genre Symphonic Poem For my first selection of music for this final project I chose The Moldau by Bedrich Smetana The reason I chose this piece was first it is a symphonic poem and second because it perfectly exemplified the use of nationalist style and word painting The Moldau is a symphonic poem representing Nationalist pride for Smetanas country It is the second of six symphonic poems from the orchestral piece My Country A symphonic poem is a one-movement orchestral form that in this case suggests a scene It was written over a five-year span that covered the revolution against Austrian rule The Moldau is a perfect example of a nationalist song which is a song of folk pride for ones country The piece The Moldau represents scenes along the river Moldau in Bohemia It is here that we see the use of word painting music expressed as though it were a painting to be seen It begins as a few streams in the forest flowing into the mighty river painted with a flute and some clarinets and leading to violins The journey takes us through a day in the forest where we see hunting peasants dancing at a wedding nymphs in the moonlight the St Johns Rapids the Ancient Castle and back to the River theme as the river dies away It is truly an enchanting piece

Private equity majors KKR, Blackstone and TPG Capital have agreed to settle a collusion lawsuit for $325m, a regulatory filing showed.
The lawsuit was filed seven years ago, accusing the firms of conspiring to buy companies without competition.
Carlyle is the only remaining defendant and is set to go on trial later this year.
Silver Lake, Goldman Sachs and Bain Capital also were among the defendants before settling the lawsuit.
Lawyer for the plaintiffs Thomas Undlin said, "Plaintiffs have overcome defendants' attacks on multiple fronts, including early efforts to transfer the case, dozens of motions to dismiss and for summary judgment," the plaintiffs."
KKR has just sold market intelligence and data business Ipreo to Blackstone and Goldman Sachs, making a return of 2.3 times.

Cant play voicemail in car after update
After recently updating to the latest android 4.3 on my Note 2, I suddenly cannot play voicemails through my car bluetooth anymore.
I can still make and receive calls through the car and therefore dial into my voicemails, but cannot just play back a specific message directly from my list of voicemails within the voicemail program - its the stock program that came with the phone. I can also play back directly through my bluetooth headset, just not to my car audio anymore. What gives? Obviously something changed with the update that I cant figure out. This is the last time I ever do an update unless its absolutely necessary, it seems like every time something gets jacked up that takes me hours to resolve. Anyone else have this issue or any ideas?

SPORTSPLEX SHOOTING: Girl, 7, dies while mother remains hospitalized
A 7-year-old girl died late last night after she and her mother were shot in the parking lot of the Taylor Sportsplex. The mother remains in serious
condition at an area hospital.
Emma Watson Nowling, 7, and her mother, Sharon Elizabeth Watson, 37, both of Belleville, were both shot last night just before 8 p.m. in their vehicle by what appears to be a friend of their family. Timothy Nelson Obeshaw, 57, of Taylor, is believed to have shot the mother and child in
their vehicle as they were preparing to leave the parking lot. Obeshaw then shot himself at the scene. A 9 mm pistol was recovered at the scene.
Emma Watson had been transported to Children's Hospital of Detroit with life-threatening injuries and later died from the head injuries she sustained.
Witnesses told police that the mother and girl were at the Sportsplex for a regular soccer practice. Obeshaw was seen at the practice and there was what appeared to be friendly interaction between the three at the start of practice. Witnesses said that Obeshaw had attended the girl's practices and games in the past.
Obeshaw had parked his vehicle at a different location in the parking lot and then confronted Watson and her daughter at their vehicle as they were leaving practice before 8 p.m. A witness said Obeshaw fired gunshots into Watson's car, striking the child first and then her mother. He then shot and killed himself.
Investigators worked last night trying to establish the relationship between Obeshaw, Watson and Watson's daughter. Family members said Obeshaw was a friend of the family and had been staying with Watson and her boyfriend at their home in Belleville. Obeshaw recently had
moved into a home in Taylor.
Police still do not have a motive for the shootings, other than witnesses and family members told police that in the past year Obeshaw had started becoming mentally unstable and paranoid. Police found evidence that Obeshaw believed someone was trying to perform mind control on him.
In September of 2015, Obeshaw registered the handgun in his name in Belleville.
Arrangements are currently being made for donations for the family for Emma.

It has been over a year since my last post. There are 22 entries in my drafts.
Sometimes, after time has passed, I feel like I should just push publish on those pending posts, just to get them out there; even though they wouldn't be current. I can't remember what I wrote, though, so I probably won't.
That being said, I have been toying (obviously not anything consistent) with writing online, again.
I have been writing online in some way, shape or form for a long, long time. (I'm an "internet grandma" as I saw on another blog I was flipping through, today.) My first website was published back in 1997 and I was obsessed with writing online after that first time I hit publish.
(I will let you know, that after writing that last sentence? I spent considerably way too much time at archive.org, jumping from website to website; some of the domains, I had completely forgotten about. Strange how that happens.)
The picture below? Me in 2000, that I found from going to another friend's blog link on archive.org. Not my natural hair color, but not bad, either. :) I'm in my friend LeAnn's dorm room (I didn't think it looked like mine and had to inspect!) I would have been 21.
I heard somewhere that people never change – they are the same persons at the core. And it's true…there's a lot of that twenty-one year old in me, still, at thirty-seven.
I had toyed with becoming a vegetarian, for like, a month, which I laughed a bit about, because that is such a "me" thing to do. I was dating my now-husband long-distance, which we ended up doing for way longer than I ever anticipated. I spent way too much time online. I even saw mention of my beginning love of interior design (and paint colors!). I was so dreamy/optimistic about living a creative life.
I wonder what the twenty-one year old me would think about the thirty-seven year old me.
I see patterns in how I deal with things. How I force myself to continue with something that I'm not sure of, because I don't see options for myself.That someone else should have noticed I was struggling, rather than myself pointing out a a weakness and asking for help and potentially showing that I wasn't perfect. And instead, getting called on it when it was too late.
I cursed my sensitivity. My emotions getting the best of me; how easily I am hurt or scared or end up crying and feeling embarrassed. My need to center myself, alone, so I could somewhat reframe whatever it was that hurt me, so that I could function, again – tell myself that it didn't hurt so much. That I wasn't hurt so much.
I see thoughts that I projected onto other people that I could completely project onto myself, now. About being brave – about taking risks – about the choices we make – about the excuses we make. The "I can do this, only if I have this…" bargains that we make with ourselves – and then you get that thing that we absolutely need, we find another excuse. I had a girl friend who did this constantly and I found it incredibly annoying, at the time.
I thought I had it all figured out – like, of course, we all do at that age. I can see, in retrospect, where I took risks and where I needed to risk, but didn't. Perhaps if I had, my life would be different, now, if I had made different choices; perhaps, maybe it wouldn't. The thing is, we never know. But, I can tell you, when you think about the risk in the present, you always go to the most positive outcome. It's funny how that is, isn't it?
So, I find it odd that while I've been thinking these things in my head, over the past few weeks, not writing; tonight, when I take the time to write, all these things come to me, in my own voice, just reconfirming everything I had been tossing around in my head.
I've talked before about messages from the universe. I won't go into it, but I think I needed to revisit my past a bit, tonight. Rehash some old things, reflect on some newer, unrelated-but-somehow-related, things. Make peace with my past and determine things I need to change in the present.

The Tây S_n Uprising: Society and Rebellion in Eighteenth-century Vietnam
University of Hawaii Press, 2006 - 293 頁
The Tay Son uprising (1771-1802) was a cataclysmic event that profoundly altered the eighteenth-century Vietnamese political and social landscape. This book offers a new look at an important and controversial era. George Dutton follows three brothers from the hamlet of Tay Son as they led a heterogeneous military force that ousted ruling families in both halves of the divided Vietnamese territories and eventually toppled the 350-year-old Le dynasty. Supplementing Vietnamese primary sources with extensive use of archival European missionary accounts, he explores the dynamics of an event that affected every region of the country and every level of society. Tracing the manner in which the Tay Son leaders transformed an inchoate uprising into a new political regime, Dutton challenges common depictions of the Tay Son brothers as visionaries or revolutionaries. Instead, he reveals them as political opportunists whose worldview remained constrained by their provincial origins and the exigencies of ongoing warfare and political struggles.

Rush Limbaugh: Lack Of Consent Is Just An Excuse Leftists Use To Vilify Rapists (AUDIO)
Wow. Limbaugh managed to out-Limbaugh himself.
Thank Twitter for pointing out the burning stupid here the way they did.
It's being dubbed the "rare boycott that actually worked."
Rush Limbaugh is trying to give conservatives new ideas – and none of them are good.
Needless to say, Limbaugh's call-screener will likely be spending the New Year looking for a new job.
You know, because President Obama has been bombing the hell out of the GOP base and taking out its leaders. No, wait. That's what he is doing to ISIS.
The GOP is dying and those republican members of Congress who are smart know it and they should be afraid.
Ted Cruz says that only people like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity — "real journalists" — should moderate Republican debates.
Republicans are concerned with what the left has been saying for years: Right-wing media's push to extremism is harming the GOP's ability to govern.
Can the anti-government, anti-taxation teapublican party also be the "God party," as the right-wing alleges? According to the Bible, no. In fact, it says that those who despise government are headed straight for hell.
To those who say battling right-wing lies doesn't matter, guess what? It's working.
This is just downright nasty…
Could Obama once again be playing chess while Republicans are playing checkers?
Facts and humor will always be more appreciated than conservative anger issues…
If American voters were wondering if conservatives could hit a lower point than Benghazi, they just got their answer.
See if you can follow this twisted piece of "logic" from a very twisted man.
Republicans have once again demonstrated their absolute loyalty to a foreign leader after they rushed to heap praise on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after his election victory.

The instructors
Rowena McMahon: Owner / Dressage
Rowena graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a B.S. in pre-veterinarian medicine in 1976. For the next three years, she worked at Gut Barbroich, West Germany with the well-known and accomplished Alois Pollmann Schweckhorst. Influenced by the Cavalry School of Hannover, "characteristic features of his style were suppling the horse with dressage, a forward seat, and established rythm.
Continuing her education at Merrimack College and New Hampshire Technical Institute in the U.S., she was employed as a key account executive for Philip Morris. She furthered her equestrian studies under the direction of Keith Angstadt, a New England dressage judge of Merit, at Bradford Equestrian Center, Bradford, Massachusetts.
Married to Elliot Pratt in 1997, Rowena acquired her dream farm, Walnut Hollow, in the year 2000 which she shares with her husband.
Elliot Pratt: Owner / Beginner / Novice
Elliot has only been riding for the last 15+ years. But in his relatively short career he has undergone constant and rigorous supervision and training by Rowena. He considers it probably the most challenging to master of all the sports he is accomplished at. (Rock climbing, Hang gliding,Skiing, Sailing, Mountain Biking, Road Biking.) "You can brute force your way through most sports, everything changes when the other half of the equation is a horse." He considers himself extremely lucky to be able to work with these magnificent animals in the Equestrian Industry. " Seeing the self confidence that it builds in people is just so rewarding. I can't imagine doing anything else at this point of my life."
Ashley Brown: Hunter / Jumper / 3 Day Eventing
Ashley Brown has worked with trainers such as Rowena McMahon, Keith Angstadt, bronze medalist; Pam Goodrich, competitor in the World Championships and two Olympic Sports festivals in Europe, and Elmar Pollmann-Schweckhorst, the author of "Training the Modern Jumper" and Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum's biography. Elmar belongs to a family of enthusiastic breeders, trainers, and his brother Alois is a silver and bronze medalist in the national German championships. Elmar is a professional instructor and has competed successfully in the US, Canada, South America and Europe.
Ashley has competed and placed at GMHA Woodstock VT, Bradford Equestrian Center MA, UNH, Green Acres, Weatogue Stables CT, HITS in Saugerties NY to list a few. She has achieved dressage scores of over seventy frequently.
Living in Germany with the Pollmann-Scheckhorst family, she has been classically trained and offers a unique perspective in combining dressage principles, developing a better jumper, hunter or 3-day eventer. By understanding and matching the rider and horse's needs she promotes harmony. Ashley determines her student's instructional needs based on their goals for rider and horse.
Ashley Brown, graduate of Framingham State University with a BS in Business uses her extensive knowledge to develop and promote Walnut Hollow Farm. As Director of Operations, Ashley has partnered with Rowena to reach out to organizations such as The Girl Scouts of America, Bedford NH; BAE Systems, Young Camp Judea, Merrimack NH and the Towns of Merrimack and Amherst NH.
Chrissy: Hunter / Jumper
Chrissy has been a horse lover and enthusiast for over 20years. She began riding at the age of 7, after 6 years of competitive lessons she got her first horse for her 13th birthday. As president of two 4-H clubs Chrissy has shown successfully through the 4-H circuit in and out of the saddle as well as pony club, Equine Success, various B circuit shows, the New England Junior Eventers Association and the New England Hunter Jumper Association always finishing in the ribbons with multiple championships and year end awards to date. Through 4-H Chrissy has had the opportunity to learn from the best, participating in clinics from professionals such as Philip Dutton, GaWaNi Pony Boy, Sally Swift, Clint Anderson, Monty Roberts and Pat Parelli.
In addition to horses, Chrissy has always been fascinated by the human body, after attaining her degree in Exercise and Sports Sciences from Fitchburg State University, she found a way to combine her two passions. She believes that through the study of the human biomechanics as well as equine the team of horse and rider can reach a greater potential and greater performance level by recognizing and correcting minor biomechanical flaws. Through corrective exercise, training, and stretching horse and rider can create a happier team by eliminating pains and pressures by decreased range of motions or other limiting factors taking the ride from 6th place to 1st place with ease.
Chrissy loves working with kids and excels in all aspects of teaching and working with them. She has found a niche in teaching therapeutic riding, first presented to it through the therapeutic riding program in 4-H through Strongwater farm therapeutic farm. After over 10 years in working with kids and horses Chrissy has the knowledge, patients and desire to help all students with mental or physical disabilities attain their riding goals.

I have a filly thats by Rock Point. Just wondering if he is still alive.
Nope. Died a few years ago. 2010, maybe?
Thank you. I having a coming 3 yo by Rock Point and she is just the sweetest, quietest horse. I'm still waiting for her to get taller though. I met her dam and she was 16.2 and I think Rock Point was pretty big.
He was 16.3, IIRC? I always wanted a Rock Point. Shame that he's gone and didn't leave any stallion sons (that I know about, at least!)
I met him in person years ago when he stood in Middleburg. Lovely stallion!
My <3 horse is by Rock Point.
He was a bugger to break (he's 2nd generation homebred) but a <3 since age 2.9 (he's now 10, 11 next week!)
I have his little half sister, out of the same (Chenin Blanc) tb mare, by a RID stallion.
I''ll be interested if its as 'they' assured me, that the toughness in my older horse came from Rock Point, or if, in fact, it came thru the mare from Chenin Blanc.
Rock Point was very handsome and big and stout. He had some good (champion level) 'chase horses plus some good show horses.

Some non pathogenic microorganisms evolving in the root micro-environment can trigger a positive effect on plant, increasing host defense against disease or/and directly inhibiting growth of pathogen in soil (1). To initiate both phenomena leading to biocontrol activity, microorganisms use plant exudates to grow on roots and to produce in-situ active compounds. In Bacilli, cyclic lipopeptides of the surfactin, iturin and fengycin families represent important antibiotics involved in biocontrol (2). Recent studies in microbiology allowed a better understanding of plant microorganism interactions but few has been done at the molecular level. In this study, MALDI MS imaging has been used to study the nature of the secreted lipopeptide molecules, their relative quantity and their distribution in the root's environment. Disinfected tomato seeds were first germinated at 28°C in sterile conditions for germination. Seedlings were then placed in Petri dish on ITO glass slide recovered with a thin layer of plant nutritive solution (Hoagland) containing 1,75% of agar and treated with freshly-grown cells of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens S499. Petri dishes were finally incubated vertically in phytotron at 28°C with a 16h photoperiod. Different root age / time of incubation were studied: 13 / 3; 13 / 7; 21 / 14 and 39 / 32. Control tomato root (without bacterial treatment) of the same ages were also analyzed (13 / 0; 21 / 0 and 42 / 0. For MALDI imaging experiments, the ITO slide was removed from the agar and dried in a dessiccator under vacuum. The matrix solution (α-cyano-hydroxycinnamic acid, 5mg/mL in ACN/0.2% TFA 70/30) was applied with an ImagePrep automated sprayer (Bruker Daltonics). An UltraFlex II TOF/TOF and a Solarix FT-ICR mass spectrometers were used to record molecular cartographies. The average mass spectra recorded around the tomato root (2-3 mm on both sides of the root) showed that lipopeptides were major compounds detected on the agar. The relative intensity of lipopeptides families varied with respect to the age of the root/biofilm system. In the 13/3 system, 3 homologues of surfactins were essentially detected (C13, C14 and C15), with very few iturins and fengycins. Their localizations were identical, whatever the considered homologue. Then the production of iturin and fengycin families increases in older systems (13/7 and 21/14) and a novel homologue of surfactin is detected (C12). Some variations in localizations within families may be observed (around the root or at the close vicinity of it in function of the considered homologue or alkali adduct). Then for the oldest system we studied, iturins and fengycins are not detected anymore and the localization of surfactins is less precise. In the 39/32 system, we also detected unknown compounds at 986.6, 1000.6, 1014.7 and 1028.7 m/z. The mass range of these compounds allied to the mass difference between two consecutive ion peaks let us think that these unknown compounds could be a new lipopeptide family. Investigations are in progress to identify these new secondary metabolites of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 61 (12 ULg)

Fengycin is a natural lipopeptide synthetized by Bacillus subtilis strains. It is characterized by strong antifungal and low hemolytic activities. It seems also play a role in the promoting of elicitor activities of other compounds. The target of the biological activities of fengycin is supposed to be plasma membrane of sensitive cells. Even though the natural fengycin from has been discovered 25 years ago, nowadays, there is an increase of interest for this compound because of its potent applications. Until 15 years ago, the primary structure of fengycin was a matter of open debate before the publication of the corrected structure obtained by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy techniques. Although the infrared and ultraviolet absorption spectra of the lipopeptide were measured, no detailed analysis of these data was performed probably because of the unconventional sequence of the lipopeptide making these kinds of analyses complicated. In this work, our attempt was to analyze the conformational properties of fengycin as well as the calcium-induced changes using two complementary spectroscopic methods, Fourrier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and circular dichroism (CD). In a first step, we have characterized the conformational properties of pure fengycin. The lipopeptide adopts turn conformation in trifluoroethanol, a membrane-mimicking solvent. D-aminoacids seem to be involved in intra molecular hydrogen bonds. In a second step, we have investigated the role played by Ca2+ ions on the possible conformational changes of fengycin. The addition of calcium gives rise to important modifications of the conformation. As fengycin has two glutamate residues, calcium is supposed to bind to their side chains. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that the conformation of fengycin is closely depending of the environment and the presence of calcium ions play an important role on the conformational changes of the lipopeptide. Moreover, spectra obtained both FTIR and CD methods ascertain the presence of turn conformation. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 88 (9 ULg)

Fengycin is characterized by its strong antifungal and low hemolytic activities. It has also been recently demonstrated that it has plant elicitor properties and is also able to enhance the elicitors' activity of surfactin. The cell target of its biological activities is supposed to be plasma membrane. In spite of these interesting biological activities, fengycin has not been extensively investigated probably because of the difficulties related to its production. In a first time; we have characterized the interfacial properties of fengycin by tensiometry measurements and demonstrated that this surface activity was pH-dependent. In a second time; we have investigated the interactions of the lipopeptide with membrane lipids using model membranes such as Langmuir monolayers and multilammelar vesicles (MLVs). Our results indicate that the lipopeptide was able to penetrate into different lipid monolayers showing a preference for sterol-containing monolayers. In order to better understand the mechanism of the interactions of fengycin with membranes at the molecular level, MLVs with or without fengycin have been analyzed by spectroscopic techniques. We have shown that conformational changes of the lipopeptide occurred in the presence of lipids and they were more significant in the presence of sterol. Moreover, tyrosine residues of the lipopeptide seem to play an important role in these interactions. In conclusion, we have determined that the surface-active behavior as well as the conformation of fengycin depends on its environment. We have also showed that the lipopeptide does not interact with all class of lipids in the same way and presents a preference for sterols. The presence of key groups within peptide cycle has also been supposed for the biological activities of the lipopeptide. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 177 (18 ULg)

Abstract : The design of a new single species biofilm bioreactor has been investigated. Bacillus subtilis S499 has been chosen as a model organism for the production of lipopetides. Nevertheless, considering the surface active properties for this kind of metabolite, processes based on submerged culture in stirred-tank bioreactor involve the use of important amount of antifoam and therefore downstream processes are tedious. In this work, an original process was developed with an experimental setting leading to the suppression of foam formation during the culture. B. subtilis S499 makes a biofilm on a stainless steel structured packing in the top of a bioreactor, nutrient and oxygen supply being carried out by the media recirculation as liquid film on the packing. Lipopeptides secreted by biofilm are accumulated in the liquid phase under the packing and can reach concentrations as high as 800 mg/l. The colonization of the packing by the biofilm has been monitored by X-ray tomography. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 120 (30 ULg)

In a previous study (Malfanova et al. in Microbial Biotech 4:523-532, 2011), we described the isolation and partial characterization of the biocontrol endophytic bacterium B. subtilis HC8. Using thin-layer chromatography, we have detected several bioactive antifungal compounds in the methanolic extract from the acid-precipitated supernatant of HC8. In the present study, we have further analyzed this methanolic extract using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Based on the comparison of retention times and molecular masses with those of known antifungal compounds, we identified three families of lipopeptide antibiotics. These include four iturins A having fatty acyl chain lengths of C14 to C17, eight fengycins A (from C14 to C18 and from C15 to C17 containing a double bond in the acyl chain), four fengycins B (C15 to C18), and five surfactins (C12 to C16). Evaluation of the antifungal activity of the isolated lipopeptides showed that fengycins are the most active ones. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an endophytic Bacillus subtilis producing all three major families of lipopeptide antibiotics containing a very heterogeneous mixture of homologues. The questions remain open which of these lipopeptides (1) are being produced during interaction with the plant and (2) are contributing to the biocontrol activity of HC8. © 2012 The Author(s).

Plants possess a broad array of defenses that could be actively expressed in response of pathogenic organisms or parasites but also following beneficial saprophytic microorganisms recognition. Specifically, there are compounds derived from these organisms and called elicitors that are perceived by the plant to induce a locally or systemically expressed resistance. The understanding of the physiological and biological basis of these induced immunity mechanisms have greatly advanced over the past years but a deeper investigation of the mechanisms underlying the perception of elicitors is essential to develop novel strategies for pest control. The application of chemical and biological stimulators of plant immune defenses in conventional agriculture is expected to increase within the next years. Because of their organic origin and as they provide means for conferring plant protection in a non-transgenic manner, elicitors of plant immunity have a huge potential as biocontrol products. Through this review, we want to illustrate the diversity of compounds identified as stimulators of the plant immune system and describe the mechanisms by which they could be recognized at the plasma membrane level.

This article first appeared in Practical Engineering 1940 Vol1 No5. The information that appears in the article is accurate as of 1940. This article describes new technological methods employed in Engineering at the time.
Light alloys are in general good conductors of heat and electricity. Their melting point is low and close above the temperature at which they soften and can be welded. Most of them are easily corroded at normal temperatures, and more so when heated. With some light alloys the structure alters when they are raised above a certain temperature, and in this case special heat treatment is required to restore them.
After long exposure to air, the surface of light alloys becomes covered with a thin film of oxide, which is very hard and adherent. While forming a good protection for the metal, it has the disadvantage from a welding point of view that the resistance of this film is of very variable value. All these peculiarities make the welding of light alloys a much more difficult and delicate task than in the case of steels.
Current Density
The variations of contact resistance due to the oxide film can be very considerable, and to ensure regularity in welding it is essential to get rid of this film. This should be done not too long before the welding operation by "pickling" the metal in a suitable acid. When the metal is thus prepared reliable contact can be obtained between the two sheets.
The heat produced by the passage of current through the alloy is low, and the waste of heat by conduction high. These conditions lead to the use of considerable electrical power. While sheet steel is usually welded with a current density of 80 to 200 amps per sq. mm., light alloys require a current density of the order of 2,000 to 3,000 amps, per sq. mm.
Results of Research
To lessen the power necessary for the welding, research has been carried out to bring to a minimum the contact pressure between the pieces, so increasing the resistance. By this means the speed of the weld has been increased considerably, but a small variation in pressure is then liable to cause a big variation in contact resistance, and therefore also in the regularity of the welds. To overcome this, means of control of the electrodes have been devised, to ensure a very constant pressure, and results have been greatly improved.
From experience with certain steels it was at first thought necessary to weld aluminium alloys using very short current times. While in the case of stainless steel this has the important advantage of avoiding carbon precipitation, no similar advantage is given with light alloys, even when used in an annealed state. Moreover, examination of the shape of the metal affected by the heating shows that this is flatter when the speed of welding is higher.
The Weld Core
It does not seem possible to say as yet with absolute certainty what is the most favourable shape for the core of metal affected by the welding current, to give the best tensile strength and resistance to fatigue. It can be asserted, however, that this core should never extend to the outer surface of the sheet, as there is then a tendency to electrolytic corrosion between the core and the parent metal.
If on account of too high a contact resistance the welding time is prolonged, this may cause fine cracks to appear in the welded area, allowing air to penetrate to the core. In this case trouble with corrosion may also be experienced.
It is generally taken that the weld core should not exceed two-thirds of the thickness of the metal. A weld showing cracks on the surface can, however, clearly be considered defective. It often happens that small metal projections are produced between the sheets of metal. These do not seem of great importance and do not affect the strength of the weld, but they do, however, seem to lessen the resistance to corrosion of, the unprotected metal.
Properties of The Weld Core
The metal in the region of the welding spot forming the core of the weld, having been raised to a temperature near to the melting point, is likely, on cooling, to have mechanical properties differing from those of the surrounding metal. This will be particularly noticeable in the case of a heat-treated alloy. In the case of steels, this difficulty is overcome by applying a high pressure at the end of the welding period in order to harden the heated metal. During the actual weld, however, a lighter pressure is desirable to avoid reducing the contact resistance, with consequent increase in power required. At the beginning of the welding period a high pressure is also used momentarily to ensure that the two pieces meet properly.
Pressure Variation
This double pressure variation, which gives good results in the case of steels, is not of much practical utility for light alloys. Owing to the vastly increased speed of the welding it is impossible to synchronise the pressure variation with the passage of the current. The pressure depends on the operation of a valve and the filling of a compressed air cylinder, and the time of these operations is much longer than the welding times used for light alloys on modern machines. In fact, the time variation of these operations is actually comparable with the welding time.
A slight improvement of the structure of the metal can be obtained by applying a high pressure during the weld, that is to say, a pressure nearing the ultimate strength of the metal. By this means also, the melted projections between the sheets can be almost entirely avoided. The disadvantage of increasing the pressure is, as already stated, that the power necessary for the weld is considerably increased, but on the other hand, the regularity of the welds is improved, and any possibility of burning or perforating the metal is removed completely.
Control of The Welding Current
The small difference between the softening and melting temperatures of light alloys makes it essential to control with great accuracy the amount of heat supplied to the weld. This control becomes more difficult as the power gets higher.
Good results depend entirely on the application of the proper pressure and electrical power, and in maintaining the absolute regularity of these factors. A good automatic timer on mechanical principles operating a contactor which is kept in a perfect state of cleanliness will give good results with most alloys but only at the cost of high maintenance. To avoid this, electronic timers have been successfully developed, and by this means absolutely accurate repetition is ensured.
This type of apparatus which is, of course, high in first cost, has been much used in the United States and gives very good results. A high production speed can be kept up without difficulties, and maintenance costs are comparatively low, though time is required, especially in connection with, the starting up of the apparatus.
Energy Storage Applied to Spot Welding
To weld aluminium alloys at the high electrode pressures shown to be desirable requires, as already stated, considerable instantaneous power, for example, 200kVa to weld 2 x 16 S.W.G. and 350kVa to weld 2 x 12 S.W.G. A load of this nature may cause considerable voltage fluctuation in the mains, and is looked upon with little favour by supply authorities, who may impose very onerous conditions. As a rule, only in large factories with a load capacity of several thousand kVa can such large load variations be tolerated.
To overcome the disadvantage of high peak loads being thrown back on the mains, various methods have been tried whereby the energy is drawn comparatively slowly from the mains and stored by any of several well-known methods. The energy so stored is then partly or wholly released to perform the weld.
One such method is to use a flywheel convenor. A suitable machine is very costly, and its efficiency is comparatively poor. Furthermore, it does not make any easier the control of the current time. Much more convenient and less costly are methods whereby the energy is stored in an inductance or a condenser.
High Current Discharge
Both these systems can be made to give a high current discharge in a very short time, that is, of the order of hundredths or thousandths of a second. The preliminary energising of these systems can easily take place a hundred times more slowly, and the peak load on the mains is thus reduced to an insignificant value.
It is of particular interest that the condenser storage system, which, incidentally, has a much higher efficiency than the inductive system, requires only 20kVa to weld 12 S.W.G. sheet under the best conditions already mentioned. This method has the further advantage that it is possible to control with great accuracy the amount of heat generated at the weld. The electrical energy stored in the condenser is discharged through the welding transformer primary, and thus it is supplied also to the welding electrodes without any possible cause of irregularity.
