Building on the experience gained during the first years of implementing REACH and the CLP Regulation, ECHA has developed an integrated regulatory strategy that brings together the various regulatory processes. The strategy provides a clear and coherent basis for achieving the aims of the regulations and contributing to the goals set by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals concerning chemicals.
- To efficiently select substances or groups of substances that raise potential concern. The information needed to assess their safety is generated so that any remaining concerns can be addressed through the most suitable regulatory risk management measures.
- To ensure appropriate and timely intervention by all actors – ECHA, Member States, the European Commission and industry
- To provide confidence among stakeholders that registrants meet REACH information requirements, promoting improved communication on safe use in the supply chain.
Implemented since 2016, the strategy has continued the work started under the SVHC Roadmap.
How are the processes integrated?
The infographic below provides an overview of the different processes and how they relate to each other. A substance may enter a regulatory process at any point in time without following the flow shown in the diagram.

Screening helps to identify groups of structurally similar substances that should be prioritised for regulatory action, as well as those that are of low priority for further work. Grouping these substances ensures that a bigger share of all registered substances are addressed over a shorter period of time. If further information is needed to confirm the hazard properties of a substance, the substance proceeds to either substance evaluation or compliance check. Identifying and setting aside groups of low priority substances authorities can focus their resources on substances that matter.
Carrying out a regulatory management option analysis (RMOA) helps authorities decide the most appropriate way to address the identified concern. Outcome of this analysis could be to either to confirm the hazard properties via harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) or identification of a substance of very high concerns (SVHC), or move the substance to further regulatory risk management processes (e.g. restriction).
Once the concern is confirmed via either harmonised classification (CLH) or identification as a substance of very high concern (SVHC identification), authorities may decide if further regulatory risk management action is required:
- Harmonised classification and labelling: A substance is normally subject to harmonised classification and labelling if it meets the criteria for carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, reproductive toxicity (CMR) or respiratory sensitisation.
- Identification as a SVHC: A substance may be identified as a SVHC if it meets the criteria for a CMR substance, a PBT/vPvB substance, or a substance that gives rise to an equivalent level of concern as such substances. The substance is then placed on the Candidate List.
- Recommendation for the Authorisation List: ECHA prioritises and regularly recommends substances from the Candidate List for inclusion in the Authorisation List.
- Application for Authorisation: If a substance is on the Authorisation List, it cannot be placed on the market or use after the sunset date unless an authorisation has been granted for a particular use. Companies need to submit their applications for authorisation to ECHA.
- Restriction: A restriction limits or bans the manufacture, placing on the market or use of a substance that poses an unacceptable risk to human health or to the environment.
Stakeholders are informed about a substance entering regulatory risk management via the Registry of intentions until outcome and the public activities coordination tool (PACT).
Screening helps identify substances on which data needs to be generated or further assessed. The main tools for generating missing hazard information are compliance check and substance evaluation. The data is then assessed to determine whether it confirms the concern.
Dedicated expert groups have been established to provide support to Member States in defining testing strategies, carrying out assessments, and making conclusions in relation to PBT/vPvB or endrocine-disrupting properties of substances.
Member States consult the expert groups before a substance enters the formal substance evaluation or SVHC identification decision-making process.

Series: Deizian Empire #1
Genres: Erotic, Fantasy, Science Fiction

The deadliest assassin in the empire just got too close to her target… Azurha, a former slave turned deadliest assassin in the empire, has just been offered the ultimate challenge—seduce, then murder the new Emperor. But Titus is not the tyrant his forefathers were, and his radical ideas might be the glimmer of hope the empire needs. Titus Sergius Flavus has yet to master the powerful magic of his ancestors—magic he must wield if he's to protect his people—but his father's death has left him no choice. Rule the Deizian Empire and attempt to right his ancestors' wrongs, or watch her fall to his greedy kin. More than just Titus' ideas hold Azurha captive. Night after night, he awakens desires she thought lost, and uncovers the magic of her hidden lineage. As her deadline approaches, Azurha is forced to make an impossible decision—complete her job and kill the man she loves, or fail and forfeit both their lives.
After his father's passing Titus Sergius Flavus becomes the new ruler of the Deizian Empire. There are many in the empire against him and they will do anything to remove him from his new position. Titus wants the best for his Kingdom but he has his doubts since he hasn't reached his full magic potential. His focus is on his Kingdom until a distraction walks through the palace doors.
Azurha is the empires deadliest assassin and her latest assignment puts her in a role she is not at all comfortable with. She is sent to kill the new ruler but to do so she must enter his Harem. Unfortunately, for this hardened assassin she has a problem completing her mission after spending time with Titus.
Titus and Azurha cannot fight the fire between them. But how will Titus react when he learns Azurha was brought there to kill him? And will Azurha be able to protect him if he kicks her out of his life?
Crista McHugh's Tangled Web is sinfully delicious! This erotic feast features one fascinating couple and a killer plotline. It's impossible to turn away from this story after reading the first few pages! They grasp the reader's attention and the story keeps it throughout this fantastic tale.
Azurha and Titus have phenomenal chemistry! They turn the heat way up in Tangled Web. I love the inner workings of Azurha her character has such depth and I wanted a happy ending for her so badly. Titus is complex as well. He's a ruler who is not sure he should be ruling but wants the best for his people. His struggle to command his people and understand his feelings for Azurha is compelling. Azurha's struggle to deal with her opposing feelings is enthralling. Watching her fall in love with Titus is pure story magic!
I find myself intrigued by the inner workings of this world. I have fallen for several of the secondary characters and I cannot wait to see them again in future books. This is the second book of Ms. McHugh's that I have read and I'm definitely impressed! She weaves her stories together beautifully and Tangled Web is no exception! Tangled Web is a keeper!

Posted: Sat Jan 19, 2008 9:54 am Post subject: Magnetism: Form, Structure, & Dynamics Reply with quote
http://www.scribd.com/doc/34317/Spintro ... rd-Johnson
A few excerpted pictures w/captions below from the beginning of the book.
(refer also: Two electric stories in the same week?! thread)
Caption: The over simplification of magnetic field,
showing its movement from the north pole
of the magnet to the south pole.
Caption: This is what the direction of the lines of force really looks like, demonstrated with a cubical magnet having the top face for the north pole and the bottom face for the south pole (top) as opposed to (bottom)
Caption: This actual graphic mapping of a magnet shows its lines of force by measuring the intensity of the magnetic field every 1/16" at each point on a grid, covering the entire magnet, as well as some of the field in the area around the magnet. (Sec page # 29 for description of method.) This measurement of the strength of the magnetic field is rated in gauss.
Caption: The preceding process uses the two particle principle, laying down lines going in opposite directions around a current carrying wire.This is made possible in keepingwith the principle that, around the wire conducting current, these two opposing particles orbit in opposite directions.
Caption: Computer color illustration. In the permanent magnet, we have the same two spins in opposite directions. We do not knowwhat makes them behave that way, but we do believe therecord of our excellent monitoring and recording equipment.
Caption: Lines of Force are Spins forming Vortices: One of the most most amazingly illustrative and thoroughly innovative concepts in the area of magnetic field structure has been the discovery of vortices caused by the path of the particles which make up the lines of force. Notice the previously used illustration
Caption: Noticing the last illustration, it is evident that the "whirlwind" or "tornado" effect is present and that there are two vortices present at each "pole". An interesting and important piece of information, though, is that these vortices are not all the same, as is shown in previous illustration for clarity. Notice the distribution of the spins
Caption: THE DOUBLE VORTEX WITH THE SPINS ALONGSIDE
Here is a picture which recorded the discovery of the Double Vortex
Caption: The Double-Vortex is highly significant in many ways, but the point to be reckoned with here is that both particles exist at both poles. Therefore, there is an element of both the "north" and the "south" in each pole. The north element (vortex) is dominant, and has proven to be the stronger vortex with higher gauss ratings.
Caption: Since the stronger north element (vortex) exists in both poles, you are sure to ask what the deciding factor is that distinguishes the north pole from the south pole. The same illustration just used shows that the north pole is the one with the weakest south element (vortex). This means the other pole must be south.
Caption: This is a topographical map of the fields at the end of a square ceramic bar magnet magnitized through its thickness.
To this point, the discussions and descriptions have dealt with single magnets, or single magnet arrangements and their fields. Now, we will present interactions between magnets, and show what really happens in attraction and repulsion.
Taking a ceramic magnet magnetized through the thickness we mount a curved metallic magnet over it and monitor the reacting fields in a one-half inch air gap. Study itcarefully - the result may not be what you were expecting.
Notice first what happens in attraction; We are all familiar with the pull of one magnet toward another. But, the mechanism is not visible, even if we use iron filings. What wc need to see is the activity of atomic particles that constitute the magnetic fields.
Our mapping operation shows these particles pairing off as the unlike fields merge. Examine the illustration: (illustration here)
Then, our topographical program snows that the gauss count (the strength of the lines of force) at the attracting end has been reduced, because the pairing of a large part of the particle populations. The repulsion of like poles represents particle activity which is quite different from attraction.
The particles react with each other as they form two vortices that spin in the same direction. There is no reduction in the gauss count, which registers about three times as high as it does at the attracting end.

text: Article | 14 October 2015 | Interview with Mads Krog-Jensen, IT manager at Nordic Aviation Capital. NAC's doubts about nearshoring were put to shame At first, NAC was convinced that nearshoring in Poland was not for them, based on previous negative experiences with the hassles of offshoring. But after they saw the quality of the two Polish consultant's work and experienced their work ethic, NAC made a mental U-turn. Today, NAC's IT manager has nothing but praise for his new foreign manpower. Interview with Mads Krog-Jensen, IT manager at Nordic Aviation Capital The relatively unknown but extremely successful Danish aviation company Nordic Aviation Capital operates the world's largest fleet of smaller regional aircraft. But although business is booming, the IT department has trouble attracting the desired IT resources to NAC's head office in Billund. A particular challenge is that the LEGO Group, which also has its global headquarters in Billund, is a magnet for many potential candidates. In 2012, NAC was looking to recruit a full-time consultant to handle development projects on NAC's .NET-based platform. When the search failed, they hired a consultant through ProData Consult on a temporary basis, explains Mads-Krog Jensen, IT manager at NAC. "At the end of the consultant's contract, we did an evaluation together with ProData. This is when they told us about the possibility of nearshoring at their development centre in Poland. It turned out that we could hire two consultants in Poland for the same price as one consultant in Denmark. So we agreed to move forward, and we then received the CVs of a total of eight possible candidates, of which we selected four for interviews in Warsaw," remembers Mads Krog-Jensen. Fluent in written and spoken English NAC was actually only looking to hire one consultant in Poland, but after they had met the four consultants, they decided to hire two of the consultants on three-month trial contracts. "One of them seemed to be quite a bit better at English than the other. On the other hand, the other one a very high level of technical expertise. So our thought was that they complemented each other and that they would make a good team. As it turned out later, both of them speak and write English fluently – one of them just had some issues with pronunciation, and he was also nervous at the interview," says Mads Krog-Jensen. After the trial period, NAC ended up extending both contracts, and today, the consultants handle all kinds of tasks, but with primary focus on development on NAC's backbone. The difference between offshoring and nearshoring Mads Krog-Jensen explains that both he and NAC's head programmer in Billund were very sceptical about the nearshoring concept because they associated it with their experiences with offshore projects in India. "In my experience, there's more hassle connected with offshoring. Partly because of the time difference, which means, for example, that an error reported in Denmark at 3 pm doesn't get fixed until the next day. And partly because of the cultural differences. In India, a local team has to have 100 pages of documentation before every job. If you want to change a detail, they need new documentation. Working with the Polish consultants is a completely different experience," explains Mads Krog-Jensen. "First, they have a very strong work ethic. I usually get to the office at 9 am and go home at 5 pm. The consultants in Poland usually get to the office before me and they leave later. My impression is that they take a lot of pride in delivering a good product. What's more, they're very self-motivated. Typically, we provide half a page of documentation, take a few screen dumps and do a sketch, for example to show where we want a button to go. That's all they need." Does this form of communication work, or does it cause problems?"Recently, I did a talk at seminar where I presented an example of the documentation we prepare for our Polish consultants. We had a spreadsheet with data on 20,000 planes, which is the entire worldwide fleet we do business with. We wanted this data imported into and compared with a database that categorizes the planes by manufacturer, model, ownership, financing and so on. We sketched out how we wanted the whole thing set up and sent it to our consultants in Poland. Without any follow-up communication at all, we got the finished product back for testing, and it simply worked. They'd designed a world map divided into regions you could click on, and they had made it possible to filter based on year, model, and so on. It was impressive," states Mads Krog-Jensen. Easy to try it out NAC's biggest concern when hiring two Polish consultants was how to integrate them into the Danish organization so that both they and NAC would feel that they were contributing on an equal footing with everyone else. "Fortunately, that hasn't turned out to be a problem at all," says Mads Krog-Jensen. "It's definitely also helped that we're a global company that's used to working across cultural and national boundaries. You can come a long way with Skype and instant messaging. And it's been easy to bring the Polish consultants to Denmark when necessary, so that they can work from here. And we've also been in Warsaw a couple of times. It all works smoothly." Have you considered taking on responsibility for hiring consultants and day-to-day operations yourselves at any point?"I wouldn't have the slightest idea where to begin if I had to find the programmers we want in Poland. I also think that there's very little risk associated with ProData's nearshoring concept. The consultants can be hired on short-term contracts, so you can always pull out if you don't get the results you expect. And ProData deals with all the practicalities related to employment contracts, office leasing, taxes and so on. "Generally speaking, they've made it really easy for companies to try it out," explains Mads Krog-Jensen. "That's why I wouldn't have any reservations about recommending nearshoring to companies that are having trouble finding resources in their own country, like us. I would certainly consider giving our consultants in Poland ad hoc projects for a short period if we're particularly busy," concludes Mads Krog-Jensen. NAC has decided to keep on the two consultants in Poland for the time being, and is considering adding two additional consultants at the office in Warsaw in the future. About NAC NAC was founded in 1990 in Billund, Denmark. NAC buys, leases and sells commercial aircraft, and propeller-driven turboprop aircraft are their core activity. The fleet currently consists of 250 aircraft which are leased to 40 leaseholders, including smaller companies such as Jet Time and larger companies such as Lufthansa, Air France, US Airways and Air Berlin. NAC currently has one head programmer in Billund and two consultants employed in Warsaw, Poland. < Back to newsroom Latest news Consultant's Corner: Scrum for Two 07 October 2020 CC: Migrating Mainframe Source Code to Git 23 September 2020 Consultant's Corner: Freelance is freedom 09 September 2020 Consultant's Corner: Robotic Process Automation 25 August 2020

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'residential' tag.
My Thoughts About the Article…
The following article written by Gerard Arias Fuentes lists the top ten things wanted in a new home and is further broken down into wish lists for men and women. The number of people quieried for the survey was 1000. As the author questions the wish lists, he follows with future residential building trends. I agree with some trends, others need to be more aggressive. It's a start…
What Would You Want In A New Home? « The Complete Residence.
What I find interesting yet sad is that the wish list includes a garage or parking space as number one in both the men's and women's list. Each wanted master bedroom suites which I concur. Both wanted ample storage and large closets… an indication of our consumer 'accumulation of stuff' mentality.
Gourmet or updated kitchens were include as well as a large yard. I understand the kitchen want but the large yard typically means perfect manicured lawns, shrubs and trees requiring mowing, fertilizer, watering which ultimately pollute our soil, air and waste water.
No where in the wish lists was there anything about conserving energy, conserving water or minimizing waste much less… trying to create a home that even attempts to strive for zero waste, zero emissions, and zero ecological footprint. This should be the ultimate goal.
I agree with the article the use of personal transportation needs to be minimized by access services via non polluting means such as walking or bicycling. This requires a mindset change with in society and/or new modes of transportation that is independent from fossil fuels.
Building vs Transportation Energy Use…
Buildings, however, are the biggest sources of energy consumption by nearly 2 to 1 over transportation. Check out the following organization Architecture 2030 to see what this group is attempting regarding issues of energy consumption goals by the year 2030. As quoted from their site Architecture 2030 website:
Data from the US Energy Information Administration illustrates that buildings are responsible for almost half (48%) of all energy consumption and GHG emissions annually; globally the percentage is even greater. Seventy-six percent (76%) of all power plant-generated electricity is used just to operate buildings.
Buildings account for almost 2 times the amount of energy consumed than transportation. While others are working on the transportation fuel consumed and emissions and my interest and experience is in building design, my focus is how to work towards zero… waste, emissions and ecological footprint.
Rethinking How We Do Things…
Currently I'm reading "CRADLE to CRADLE… Remaking the Way We Make Things" written by William McDonough and Michael Braungart in 2002. I've not finished but their mindset is not for energy efficient design but rather energy effective design. The concept is to not lessen the mistakes of our current thinking making a bad system better but to totally rethink how we do things.

NEWARK, N.J. – Nathan MacKinnon and Sidney Crosby now share more than a hometown.
They've both been No. 1 picks in the NHL draft.
The Colorado Avalanche made the 17-year-old MacKinnon the first pick of the draft on Sunday at the Prudential Center.
The Avalanche won the draft lottery for the first time in team history, and Joe Sakic, the man put in charge of Colorado's rebuilding project, had made it clear that MacKinnon was going to be the top pick. He was the first player drafted No. 1 overall out of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League since the Pittsburgh Penguins selected Crosby in 2005.
MacKinnon and Crosby are both from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia.
"I love Sid. He's my favorite player," MacKinnon said. "I guess he's still my favorite player. I don't really know what to say now since I'm going to be in the same league as him. I don't know if I should dislike him or not."
MacKinnon, a 6-foot, 182-pound center, said it all with a laugh. But he's serious about making the big club this season with Colorado.
"Hopefully, I can make the team and stick there," MacKinnon said. "I feel like I can be a contributor next year."
MacKinnon is a solid two-way presence with strong hands and stick-handling and skating skills. He is considered a natural scorer and an excellent distributor. Sakic ended the guessing game in the final week when he said MacKinnon would be their pick.
"They said it in the media, but I didn't really get my hopes up," MacKinnon said. "I was definitely more nervous than I expected to be a couple of minutes before the draft."
He played for the Halifax Mooseheads and led them to the Memorial Cup championship. MacKinnon, who turns 18 on Sept. 1, was named tournament MVP after scoring 13 points.
Next stop, Colorado?
That was just the start of a busy day at the home of the New Jersey Devils, who gave a jam-packed crowd a reason to cheer when the announced they acquired goaltender Cory Schneider from Vancouver. Schneider seems in line to be the eventual successor to Martin Brodeur in net.
The rest of the teams were busy planning their future through the draft.
The Florida Panthers made center Aleksander Barkov, the top-ranked European skater, the second overall pick.
Tampa Bay took forward Jonathan Drouin, also out of Halifax, with the third overall pick.
The Nashville Predators pounced on defenseman Seth Jones with the fourth overall pick. Jones, a 6-4, 205-pound defenseman, widely was considered the top prospect in the draft. He was the top-ranked player on the NHL Central Scouting's final list of North American skaters.
He is the son of former NBA forward Popeye Jones. Popeye Jones paced the floor of the Prudential Center and said Seth slept great and was calm in the final hours leading up to the draft.
But that had to change just a bit when Jones, who played for Portland of the Western Hockey League last season, slipped to fourth.
Jones, who lived in Colorado as a youth and seemed a perfect fit for the Avalanche, has ties to Tennessee, as well. Popeye Jones owns a house there, and there is still family throughout the state.
"It's a perfect spot for him," Popeye Jones said, proudly. "He'll be motivated there, and ready to go."
Carolina selected Elias Lindholm, who played in Sweden, fifth and the Calgary Flames followed with center Sean Monahan from Ottawa of the Ontario Hockey League.
After picking first the last three years, the Edmonton Oilers took defenseman Darnell Nurse, of Saulte Ste. Marie in the OHL, with the seventh choice. Nurse is the nephew of former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. McNabb posted a picture on Twitter of the two of them smiling together a couple of hours before the draft.
The NHL had two black players picked in the top seven with Jones and Nurse.
The Buffalo Sabres took Finnish defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen with the eighth overall pick.
The New Jersey Devils and the Prudential Center hosted the draft for the first time. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman was drowned out by boos each time he took the podium. But he finally heard cheers when he announced the Devils were on the clock. It became louder when Bettman announced the Devils traded the ninth pick to Vancouver for Schneider.
"I think you guys are gonna want to hear this," Bettman said.
Schneider was on the market once the Canucks were unable to dump high-priced goalie Roberto Luongo.
The Canucks then selected center Bo Horvat, of London (OHL), with the ninth pick. The Dallas Stars selected forward Valeri Nichushkin, of Russia, with the 10th pick.

Out Today! Whooop!
Anna, Kline, and Jack. Three people who all have the same thing in mind - ultimate pleasure and a night they won't forget.
Anna has longed for a third person to join herself and her permanent lover, Kline, on their monthly trysts at a New York City hotel. Kline always takes control on these evenings, calling the shots and only allowing Anna to come when he wants her to, so what makes her think he will grant her request of having a threesome?
Kline has made Anna wait for her deepest desire, and tonight she will get the second lover she asked for a year ago. Kline will do anything to make Anna happy, including allowing the stranger inside her body, but he isn't prepared for how sharing her will make him feel.
Jack is hired to join Anna and Kline for an hour of rampant sex and is hit with confusing emotions once he sees the beautiful woman spread-eagled on the bed, duct tape holding her wrists and ankles to the posts. Something about her changes his perspective with regards to his job, and he finds he wants more than just a sample of the woman who has gotten under his skin.
Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of light bdsm.

Bad Blogger!
I have got to be one of the world's worst bloggers for an author. I'm meant to blog regularly and all that jazz, but time runs away from me every time. I can't remember the last time I wrote a proper blog post, so here goes.
Let's set the scene. It's 6:45 p.m. and I'm still in my damn pyjamas. I've been busy doing bits and bobs today, jazzing up a blog for friends and then updating my review site. I purchased the domain name for it today, so my groovy little review place will soon be www.mizlovelovesbooks.com, viewable now as www.mizlovelovesbooks.blogspot.com. Ah, isn't that lovely? The site has come on in leaps and bounds, so I decided to make it official and whatnot. I also need to launch my other website (www.emmyellis.com) but I've started it from scratch and it still needs quite a bit doing to it. Maybe I'll do that next Saturday and get it finished.
So, at the moment I need to clean my house, clean my SELF (!!!), and then it will be time to either read or watch a film. Then tomorrow is Mother's Day here in the UK, so I'm planning to read all day and just be a plain old lazy cow.
I just got word that my M/M book, Mane Attraction (Sarah Masters), is doing very well in sales. This surprised me, as I wasn't sure when I wrote it whether people would take to my brand of humour. It seems they have, or are at least giving it a go by purchasing the book. Thank you—it's very much appreciated! I laughed my head off at myself while writing it. Let's hope it has the same results for readers, although I wouldn't like to think of people's heads falling off. No, that wouldn't be very cool.
My Natalie Dae name has a ménage Lust Bite coming out on 4th April with Total-E-Bound. That was interesting to write—a new avenue for me, what with two men and a woman doing saucy stuff—and I'm looking forward to seeing how that is received. I also have an historical, A Gentleman's Harlot, coming out in July. Can't wait for that one! And then there is Just For Tonight, also due out in April, and theeeeeennnnn Killing Her Slowly, although I'm not sure when that one will be released.
Cripes. So many books coming out at the same time. Serves myself right for subbing them all around the same time then, doesn't it.
Myself and Jaime Samms are coming to the end of our novel The Dreaming, which has been a joy to write. As usual, me and Jaime have just run with whatever comes into our heads and I'm really looking forward to how that one is received.
As to Black Cougar Curse, written with my other dear pal, Tess MacKall, well...that book is doing very well indeed, better than I ever dreamed, God bless it. I love that book, not just because I love the plot etc., but because it's special to me due to having written it with Tess. I feel the same about my books with Jaime. They're extra special somehow, when written with someone else. A joining of two minds, producing something we couldn't have done by ourselves without the talent of that other person.
As for what's in the works… I need to write a short story that I've been asked for, finish that vampire book (I knowwwwwwwwww! I haven't got around to it yet), and revamp a couple of others, get them subbed or give them away as freebies. I need to get going on that.
On the work front, things are going well. I've settled into my position now, know what's what, and, of course, I love creating cover art and making authors happy. A new month's covers are about to start, so if you're interested in seeing those as they are created, and you're not on my Facebook page, you might want to join me there. I use the Emmy Ellis one every day, and if you plug my name into the search thingy on there, I'm the woman with the black-and-white photo of my face, which, incidentally, looks nothing like that anymore. I now have wrinkles, am blonde, have long hair, and look infinitely older than that picture, which must be coming on two years old now.
Anyway, I've waffled enough. Time for me to go and have a bath (stinky cow!) and do a bit of cleaning around the house.
Have a great rest of your weekend, you beautiful people you, and I'll try and blog again soon. Honest.

Comment and You Could Win a Copy!
Book one in the Sequins, Saddles and Spurs series.
Stranded in Mesa Blanco, Texas, with no money and no prospects, Emily Lathrop hires on as the cook at the Lazy Aces Ranch. Two problems—she can't cook, and owner Wyatt Cavanaugh is so hot she nearly burns herself just standing near him. Trying to keep her hormones under control is a problem when Wyatt seduces her into his bed and teaches her the real meaning of erotic love.
Now proper Emily finds herself shockingly addicted to the BDSM games he likes to play, her body craving the bondage and domination that pushes her thermostat past the point of combustion even though she suspects it's all going to come crashing down any moment with a big, painful thud.

New Cave Release! Lily Harlem
Most women would think themselves eternally lucky to have a hot, sinfully sexy rock star giving them the serious come-on—so imagine how I felt to find not one but two giving me the eye! Phew! I was turning somersaults.
But of course this led to a massive and, quite honestly, unenviable dilemma. How the heck do you choose between two rock gods who want nothing more than to give you pleasure of the extremely intense variety?
Lucky for me these global superstars were brothers who knew just how to share the same toy—sorry, I mean woman. That left me free to take a break from managing the band and let their experienced, talented hands manage me.

Kansas Happy Hour: Surprise, Johnson Tops Charts Again!October 3, 2009
Jimmie Johnson has many in the NASCAR world saying, "oh no, here we go again" as the all-time leader in Chase wins (15) is running as well as ever in his quest for a fourth straight title.
At Kansas this week, you had better brace yourself, because Johnson is dialed in.
He had a dominant first session Saturday with the fastest lap time by a large margin along with the top average speed, a sign that he'll be tough to chase down late if doesn't encounter any issues on the track. During happy hour, he laid down the fastest lap at 172.983 mph early in the session and continued on with his great average times which were second best while running 47 laps.
Johnson won this race last season and has a total of five top-10 finishes in his seven career starts here. He brought his chassis from the last Atlanta race where he started third but finished 36th after suffering a broken axle. The car was brand new for that race and Johnson was fastest in the more relevant practice prior to the race. He's only 10 points from Chase leader Mark Martin, and to the dismay of many, it's possible he could take the lead for good this week.
Matt Kenseth is watching the Chase from afar for the first time since it was introduced, but Kansas has seemed to reinvigorate the slumping team. He finished fifth there last season and has led 98 laps over the last two seasons. He's not usually a driver that tops the speed charts during practice, especially this season, but he looks very strong this weekend with great runs in both sessions Saturday. He was third fastest in both.
Juan Pablo Montoya brought a new chassis for this race, showing the seriousness of his organization in trying to improve upon their third place status in points. In the first session, Montoya had the 17th quickest lap but was second only to Johnson in average speeds. During happy hour Montoya laid down a big lap with the fourth fastest time and was fastest overall in average speeds even though he ran half the laps as most with only 23.
David Reutimann's best runs this season have been on the one-and-a-half mile tracks and based on his practice runs Saturday, Kansas will be no different as he was fourth fastest in the first session and 11th in happy hour, where he ran the most laps of the late session with 64.
This season Ruetimann has finished fourth in Vegas, 11th at Texas, 12th at Chicago, and won the rain shortened Charlotte race. He was equally as good on the two mile tracks of California and Michigan this year, which, because of the similar banking are similar to the setup needed for Kansas. He may not win, but he should have a car capable of running near the top five this week.
Jeff Gordon has won twice at Kansas and has finished in the top five in his last two starts. Of all drivers with at least four starts on the track, Gordon leads with an average finish of 9.8. In the first session, Gordon was eighth quickest with great average times. During happy hour, Gordon came right back another great run with the sixth quickest lap.
Mark Martin is sitting on his seventh pole of the season this week using the chassis that he won with at Darlington and Chicagoland. Of all the one-and-a-half mile tracks, Chicago is probably the most similar to Kansas which may spell bad news for everyone chasing him this week. Martin was sluggish in the first practice with the 19th fastest lap, though he had great average times. During happy hour, he came on strong with the second fastest lap in the 20th minute and had the third best average times.
Clint Bowyer has an average finish of 7.7 in three starts at his home track and came out with the fifth quickest lap in happy hour. He brought the same chassis that finished 18th at Indianapolis.
Kasey Kahne was 10th quickest in the early session and 12th best in happy hour, but should be considered to be rated higher on the basis of his Atlanta win and finishing third at Chicago.
Top 5 - Saturday's Early Practice Session:
1) Jimmie Johnson 173.388 mph - AVG 23 laps @ 168.765
2) Denny Hamlin 172.574 mph - AVG 22 laps @ 168.287

How does one get Applescript Studio to issue commands to an optional application that a user may have installed, if they have installed i, without forcing them to installing that application?
For example, suppose a button that says "get url from NetNewsWire" and one of my test users doesn't have it.
If I just use:
tell application newsReader
set myURL to selectedHeadline
end tell
end try
My alpha tester can't even boot my application -- he gets stuck at a "Where is NetNewsWire" splashscreen.
Conceptually, what I would like to do is to an issue a command that says (for example) something like this:
newReaderApp = "NetNewsWire.app"
if exists application newsReaderApp then
tell application newsReaderApp
set myURL to selectedHeadline
end tell
end if
But none of the variants on this I have tried – including "double tells" and "using terms" – seem to work; everything seem to either (rock) require the user to have NNW to even get my program started or else (hard place) to not to properly pass the contents of the tell to NNW.
The simple
tell application newsReader
set myURL to selectedHeadline
end tell
works fine if I want to compile only for myself, but not to help with users who lack NNW.
Any way of navigating between these twin perils would be much appreciated.
Hi calendrica,
Try this. First see if your app has a creator type:
set f to choose file
file creator of (info for f)
After running that, use the alphanumeric, four character code to get a reference to your app and see if it exists. For instance, I chose Acrobat Reader and got "CARO". Then:
tell application "Finder"
set appExists to (exists application file id "CARO")
end tell
if appExists then
-- do something
-- do something else
end if
Your app may not have a file creator. Then this wouldn't work.
Give this a try. I just tested it quickly after writing it and it seems to work well enough.
Specify the application name without the .app in the property.
You probably have to save your properties with defaults write (for AS Studio), or your script will keep requesting the supporting application even if the user has confirmed they have it.
property someAppName : "xyzzy"
property hasApplication : false
using terms from application "xyzzy"
if hasApplication is false then
-- once the app has been found, we stop checking our own way
set hasApplication to appExists(someAppName)
end if
if hasApplication then
tell application someAppName
-- do something weird
end tell
end if
end using terms from
on appExists(appName)
-- is it running?
tell application "System Events"
if (name of processes) contains appName then return true
end tell
-- is it in a standard location on the hard drive?
tell application "Finder"
--if exists file (appName & ".app") of (path to applications folder) then return true
--this should work regardless of whether the app name end in .app :
if exists file (appName) of (path to applications folder from system domain) then return true
if exists file (appName) of (path to applications folder from user domain) then return true
if exists file (appName) of (path to applications folder from local domain) then return true
end tell
display dialog "The application \"" & appName & "\" was not found." & return & "If you have this application, click Continue to launch it (you may have to select it from a list of applications)." buttons {"Cancel", "Continue"} default button 2
if the button returned of the result is "Cancel" then error number -128
return true
on error
return false
end try
end appExists

Thanks, PCheese! You're a genius -- that worked perfectly, not only solving the exists problem (as fellow macscrpter member Kel had) but getting at my core problem: how to use a "tell" statement for a possibly installed application without demanding at run-time that the relevant application be installed..
By the way in the interim I discovered a hack -- "hiding" my tell statement from the compiler like this:
set theURL to (do shell script "osascript -e 'tell application \"NetNewsWire\" to get the URL of the selectedHeadline'")
Your solution via "using terms" is much faster.
Thanks so much.
Hi calendrica,
tell application "Finder"
set appExists to (exists application file id "CARO")
end tell
if appExists then
-- do something
-- do something else
end if
Your app may not have a file creator. Then this wouldn't work.
No need for a file creator. Bundle identifiers suffice.
With OmniFocus for example, one now needs to be able to detect which version (vanilla or Mac App Store) is installed:
on GetCachePath()
tell application "Finder"
if exists application file id "com.omnigroup.OmniFocus" then
return "~/Library/Caches/com.omnigroup.OmniFocus/OmniFocusDatabase2"
else if exists application file id "com.omnigroup.OmniFocus.MacAppStore" then
return "~/Library/Caches/com.omnigroup.OmniFocus.MacAppStore/OmniFocusDatabase2"
error "OmniFocus not found on this system ..."
end if
end tell
end GetCachePath

A European mobile advertising network has made a bid to attract developers to its platform by releasing its two SDKs for iOS and Android as open-source projects. The quirkily named madvertise hopes to encourage developers to help write and develop code so that banner ads can be more easily integrated into apps.
The two SDKS can now be downloaded from github.com. They come with what the company describes as a "suitable" library, which developers can include in their apps and which keeps space free for in-app advertising.
Commenting on this development, madvertise CIO and cofounder Thomas Hille said, "Opening up our code is intended to provide additional monetizing opportunities for both applications and mobile websites. We also hope it will help address developer's individual requirements and continue our mission of transparency in the market."
Although headquartered in Germany and with offices in London, madvertise's developer proposition is arguably of equal relevance to software application developers in the Americas and the rest of the world. The company is open regarding its intent to engage in business development and the development of new advertising products for the international market. Interested developers can Google the company for further details.


text: A signaling molecule that helps stem cells survive in the naturally low-oxygen environment inside the bone marrow may hold clues to helping the cells survive when the going gets tougher with age and disease, researchers report. They hope their findings, reported online on March 5, 2013 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE, will result in better therapies to prevent bone loss in aging and enhance success of stem cell transplants for a wide variety of conditions from heart disease to cerebral palsy and cancer. The scientists found that inside the usual, oxygen-poor niche of mesenchymal stem cells, stromal cell-derived factor-1, or SDF-1, turns on a survival pathway called autophagy that helps the cells stay in place and focused on making bone, said Dr. William D. Hill, stem cell researcher at the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) at Georgia Regents University (GRU) and the study's corresponding author. Unfortunately, with age or disease, SDF-1 appears to change its tune, instead reducing stem cells' ability to survive and stay in the bone marrow, said Samuel Herberg, GRU graduate student and the study's first author. Additionally, cells that do stay put may be less likely to make bone and more likely to turn into fat cells in the marrow. The researchers believe it's the changes in the normal environment that come with age or illness, including diminished nutrition, that prompt SDF-1's shifting role. "You put new cells in there and, all of the sudden, you put them in a neighborhood where they are being attacked," Dr. Hill said. "If we can somehow precondition the transplanted cells or modify the environment they are going into so they have higher levels of autophagy, they will survive that stress." Autophagy is the consummate green, survival pathway, where the cell perpetuates itself by essentially eating itself over and over again, in the face of low food sources, other stress, or needing to eliminate damaged or toxic product buildup. The researchers believe autophagy slows with age, so deadly trash starts piling up in and around cells, Dr. Hill said. "Your cells normally have a reminder to take out the trash," said Dr. Carlos Isales, MCG endocrinologist and Clinical Director of the GRU Institute of Regenerative and Reparative Medicine. "That reminder, SDF-1, becomes inconsistent as you get older, so rather than being an activator of the trash signal, it becomes an inhibitor." Herberg led efforts to genetically modify stem cells from mice to overexpress SDF-1 – in fact the researchers were in the enviable position of being able to adjust expression up or down – and control autophagy in their novel cells. They found that while SDF-1 didn't increase stem cell numbers, it protected stem cells hazards related to low oxygen and more by increasing autophagy while decreasing its antithesis, programmed cell death, or apoptosis. "They get away with lower oxygen needs and lower nutrient needs and stem cells are able to survive in a hostile environment as they are attacked by damaging molecules like free radicals," Dr. Hill said. In fact, the cells can thrive. "The success of stem cell transplants is mixed and we think part of the problem is the environment the cells are put into," said Dr. Isales. "Ultimately we want to find out what is the triggering event for aging, what is the chicken, what is the egg, and what initiates this cascade. This new finding gives us a piece of the puzzle that helps us see the big picture." The researchers have already begun looking at what happens to SDF-1 in human bone marrow stem cells and have identified a couple of drugs used to treat other conditions that increase SDF-1 production and protection. They envision a collagen matrix, almost like a raft, that delivers SDF-1 and stem cells or SDF-1 alone where needed, enabling targeted bone regrowth in the case of a bad fracture, for example. It was already known that stem cells secrete SDF-1 and that the cell survival pathway, autophagy, was up-regulated in stem cells. "We started thinking, if SDF-1 is secreted here in response to low oxygen, it must be important in cell survival," said Dr. Hill and the researchers became the first to put the pieces together. Cell survival and its antithesis, apoptosis, are both tightly regulated and necessary, Herberg notes. And, in excess, both can be deadly. In fact, cancer therapies that block autophagy are under study with the idea of making cancer more vulnerable to chemotherapy. One of SDF-1's major roles is helping the body properly assemble during development. It's produced by stem cells and found in high levels in the lungs and bones. MCG researchers are looking for other sources of SDF-1 production in the body and trying to determine how those might change with age. Bone formation tends to decrease at about age 60, notes Dr. Isales, principal investigator on the $6.3 million Program Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health that funded the study.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Democrats continued to play offense on healthcare, bragging about their reform efforts and dispelling what they say are falsehoods about the Affordable Care Act in the second night of the Democratic National Convention.
Former President Bill Clinton -- charged with the task of nominating President Obama -- led the charge as he attacked the GOP claim that the ACA slashed $716 billion from Medicare funding.
That money, Clinton said, was really "unwarranted subsidies to providers and insurance companies that weren't making people any healthier." By eliminating that spending, the ACA added 8 years to the life of the Medicare Trust Fund, he said.
Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney wants a full repeal of the ACA and transformation of Medicare into a premium-supported system -- a voucher program according to Democrats.
"If [Romney's] elected and does what he promised, Medicare will go broke by 2016," Clinton said. "If that happens, you won't have to wait for their voucher program to begin in 2023 to see the end of Medicare as we know it."
U.S. Senate candidate from Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren -- another party favorite who rallied the delegates last night, put it this way: Romney wants to "voucher-ize Medicare and vaporize Obamacare."
Clinton chastised vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan for his plan to turn Medicaid into a block grant program.
"Almost two-thirds of Medicaid is spent on nursing home care for seniors" and people with disabilities, Clinton said. "I don't know how those families are going to deal with it."
On the second big night of the convention, the theme was not subtle: wave the ACA flag and then wave it again.
Speaker after speaker praised the ACA for covering preexisting conditions, closing Medicare Part D's doughnut hole, extending dependent coverage through age 26, and eliminating gender disparities in coverage.
"Before healthcare reform, women could be charged 50% more for their health insurance than men," Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) said.
The party is using Charlotte in part to spread the benefits of the ACA and dispel misconceptions, such as a government takeover of healthcare, Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) told MedPage Today.
"This is a week to explain to America that the facts can be spoken," Becerra said, after speaking at the Families USA event Wednesday morning which was basically a 2-hour pep rally for the ACA.
Democrats have an opportunity to explain to the public that health reform can help stem the tide of health costs rising faster than household income, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) told MedPage Today.
"We can prove universal health and cut the cost curve but move from catastrophic care to preventative care," he said.
As Clinton noted in his keynote speech, healthcare spending for the last 2 years has grown under 4% for the first time in 50 years.
Democrats instead hammered the premium support model most of the evening, saying it would end guaranteed coverage.
While a crowd-pleaser in Charlotte, that statement does not accurately describe the GOP plan, which would allow seniors to keep the traditional fee-for-service Medicare in lieu of premium support. Also, the Romney-Ryan plan for Medicare would only impact those younger than 55.
"Medicare is on the ballot," House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said. "Democrats will preserve and strengthen Medicare. Republicans will end the Medicare guarantee."

Would it be possible for the community to donate cash to the prize fund? The larger the fund the harder people will try to win surely?I cant enter as I'm busy with symbos and life, but would like to contribute and perhaps encourage those that will. What do others think, would you be wiling to contribute & does Ronaldo agree?
Yes, you guessed it right: César Astudillo (Gominolas), Jon Ritman and Víctor Ruíz will be part of the jury this year
In fact, the rule is quite clear and prevents any author from participating in more than one game. There is a possibility, though: any musician can produce music or sound effects and license them to you (either directly or by publishing them with a free license). This will enable you to use the music/sound effects, but the musician will then appear as third party, and you will have to include the license in the submission. I don't think that's the kind of way to contribute a musician wants, but it's a way to participate in more than one project. It's more or less the same as considering me as contributor to all projects that use CPCtelera. In fact, I'm not an author of those projects, just a third party contributor, and I'd prefer to be an author .
Let's make Amstrad great again...

Sadly I won't have any time to join this year, but will repeat my comment from last time I participated.The rules state that the game must run on an unexpanded CPC464. I was puzzled that "expansion" included a joystick Y-cable (to connect 2 joysticks). That's not an expansion in my book.Then it should probably read "Standard CPC464 without expansions and accessories".I also find a lack of coherrence between "let's make Amstrad great again" and "let's stick to 64k and not allow multiloading".It's either "Let's make Amstrad great again and create some awesome 128k+ multiload multiplayer games"or else "Let's relive the good old days of game-development by creating some games within the lowest denominator".When you have "Pro" and "BASIC" category, you might as well add an "Extended pro" category that allows expansions and accesories and multiload and network and whatever you can imagine.My two cents.Wish I had the time to participate this year too, but I'm just way overbooked as it is.
I think as already has been stated, its because a tape of the entries is produced. It would be unfeasible to have multi-load games on it. Also it maximises the audience having it run on the smallest machine.. It also increases the challenge. Also a lot of the entrants are students who are learning to program a limited machine. Not necessarily sceners. It would kind of defeat the purpose of the exercise if limitations were relaxed.
At the end of the day be grateful this opportunity exists, with good prizes. There is really no unfairness or need to complain about having a format everyone can access. Nothing is stopping people producing games for expanded machines outside of the contest.
We know very well that a contest like this boosts production.All I'm saying is, it wouldn't hurt to have an extra category.No one says all categories has to end up on the tape. Could easily say: "Extended Pro category entries will (obviously) not be included on the tape".
A few games get released out of contest and they're not targeting the plus or extensions (apparently, I may be wrong).
I only have a 464, and that's what I prefer to develop for; but others could target other machines (and I would enjoy them on an emulator).
Yes, a game contest is an extra on motivation, but the limits CPCRetroDev imposes make sense (as the organizers have explained several times). If anyone wants multiload, 128K or plus features, just do it!
Your 464 can be expanded since 80s. So, you can expect to use 128K games on your nice computer too. Exactly! And, I think that like movies festivals they should be "out of category" instead.
Yep, even you recommended me to buy a 6128 instead

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) – A couple of people went on a crazy ride in Steamboat Springs over the weekend. The three people took their horses to several bars, a Starbucks and a grocery store.
All three galloped into a Safeway grocery at about 10:30 p.m. on Sunday. The riders scared shoppers and clerks.
The Steamboat Pilot reported that police used a stun gun and arrested Michael Joseph Miller because he allegedly ignored police orders.
According to the Steamboat Pilot, the ride began more than 10 hours earlier atop Emerald Mountain.
"I had a great ride right up until the very end," Miller, 44, told the Steamboat Pilot an hour and a half after he was released on a $750 bond from the Routt County Jail.
Miller faces charges including suspicion of harassment, disorderly conduct, obstructing a police officer and resisting arrest. Police said Miller was involved in a fight at a pub around 9:30 p.m.
Share A Funny Comment On This Story!
Kenneth Recker and Roxanne Lange, of Clark, were the other riders, but they were not arrested. According to the Steamboat Pilot the three had visited several bars before going to Starbucks and Safeway for a snack.
"I came out and saw three huge horses standing in front of our Starbucks counter, and one of the riders was trying to buy a bag of chips," Jackson told the Pilot. "These were three huge horses, not small horses. I looked at the riders and I told them 'You have got to go. This violates every policy we have.' "
It's not clear yet on what inspired them to take their horses through town.
But it's OK to take some dirty hairy dog in the store and dogs kill lots of people every year….
Just claim your part of the Occupy Movement and Salzar will forgive you. i suppose if it was a politially motivated ride it would have been ok and the lefties would have claimed it a "free speach" right .. get over it O
I saw no galloping in this video. It was funny. Only 3 horses. If you are from the city this could be scary. If you come from my neck of the woods not so much. They can't gallop horses on the floors in these places or the horses might fall and hurt themselves. The horses were in more danger than the people. That's my opinion anyway.
"It's not clear yet on what inspired them to take their horses through town."
I don't mind this story because no one go hurt, the horses are fine, and it's kind of funny. And the cops didn't lose their cheese over this little kind of hijinks. I would have made him pay for the chips in dimes!!! Bwa-ha!
Nah, face it, you folks have envy for them.
We don't have that many laws on the books because of yahoo's we have that many laws on the books because people believe that every aspect of our lives has to be in control of some form of punishment.
did they break anything? if so, sue them. I didn't see any claims of any sort of breakage.
huge horses? Well, yeah, in your face they're gigantic.
I still don't see why anybody cared. This is Steamboat Springs, not Denver!
Hope he gets acquitted.
But if there's any damage, I hope they pay it – everybody ASSUMES that these people wouldn't be responsible for their conduct and thus justify any level of force used against them so that they're envy can be abated.
Face it, you wish you had the brassards to do this!
Geez, just read my own post – I need a spelling, tense and grammar lesson!
Capitalization, punctuation — not to mention the participles you left dangling…
Consider this: The wife calls you at work to pick up a few things at the store on the way home. You get home and she says "why are you chuckling?" Oh, nothing honey; oh and, I'll go to the store anytime
Two guys and a gal made the rounds,
Rode their broncos way out of bounds,
They hit all the bars,
Then, dodging the cars,
Rode right into Safeway's surrounds.
They had ridden through the Starbuck's,
Mounting up, abandoned their trucks,
Mike Miller said "No,"
And, "Don't tase me, bro',"
They'd run out of collective lucks.
Shocked, Mike was hauled off to the jail,
He later bonded out on bail,
The moral, my friends –
This is how it ends –
When riding, don't drink too much ale.

This exemplifies the difference between America now, and the America I grew up in. 30 years ago I rode a horse to a 7-11 just outside the beltway in the Washington D.C. metro area right next to Springfield Mall in Alexandria, Virginia. I was packing a loaded .357 magnum revolver on my hip. A Fairfax county police officer did a double-take when he saw me as he drove by. He did a u-turn and drove up to me, politely asked me if the gun was loaded. I said "yes". He casually asked me to unload it and hand it to him. I did. He asked me my name, note he did not ask for identification. After a few minutes he came back with my gun and handed it to me and said it checked out. I reloaded the gun and replaced it on my hip. Just then my horse dropped a huge load in the parking lot. The officer apologized figuring it was his fault for holding me up so long the horse could not hold it. Can you imagine any police officer being so civil nowadays? This is truly a sad story because I miss my country.
Nope. Even 30 years ago a police officer would ask for ID. The way you tell, it'd be a simple matter for someone with an arrest warrant to avoid arrest.
Nope, thirty years ago, citizens were NOT required to carry an ID.
This definitely falls into the category of, "You just can't make this sh** up."
Would have loved to see it with my own eyes.
A fat man in a red suit with eight (count 'em — eight) reindeer can fly up your chimney and break into your home while you are sleeping but three riders on horseback go into a grocery store and everyone goes ballistic.
Ahahahahahahaha this was totally AWESOME! Good job, riders!
This is how we Roll…er uhh…Ride in Colorado.
Tomorrow, there will be shoppers on motorcycles inside the stores, and everyone will wish for the good ol' days when horses roamed the asiles.
Please keep in mind that the rider is to blame, not the beautiful horse! I hope the Judge rescues all three horses and gives them to someone who will be a responsible caretaker.
Go Broncos and Tebow!
Oh dear God. The horses are fine. Now seriously, go watch a Lifetime movie or something so you can cry over something legitimate, for a change.
Exactly! And from what exactly would the judge be rescuing these horses? Their irresponsible caretakers?
You obviously know dit about horses. Those horses are in fine health. You must be one of those eco/PETA freeks who think that livestock should be kept as pets and given the same rights as humans. Geez!
I meant that N Gregory doesn't know what its talking about.
Whiskeys for my men,,,beer for my horses!
A little horseplay, a little towel poppin'…etc, etc…
fantastic!! Love it.
Godspeed, sirs. An America where a man can't ride his horse into town and pick up some provisions is an America in which I do not wish to live.
Into *TOWN* is not the issue.
Into two businesses which must observe cleanliness standards – businesses which provide food and drink *IS* the issue.
There is a difference.
My friends and I used to ride our horses (bareback) to the local store and to school on the last day. It was seen as an amusement by onlookers, not complained about by the school and a rare treat for the kids who didn't have access to horses to pet and be around them for a while.EVERYONE NEEDS TO LIGHTEN THE HELL UP!!!!
Was unaware that it was too heavy.
The real story. Bar hopping on horseback.
So interesting question. What CAN'T a cop taser us for?
a cop can taze a serf for any whim. "suspicion of harassment, disorderly conduct, obstructing a police officer" during tazing, and resisting tazing and kidnapping.
How dare serfs not bow down and lick their boots. Massa goes to the whip.
Let's try this again, *Resisting Arrest"! What part of that do you not understand?
These schmucks were breaking the law.
One resisted arrest.
He got tazed.
Morgan Gray … it is well known that when "Resisting Arrest" is the only charge .. there is no charge. If I walked up and tried to arrest you .. I presume you would resist to some degree.
Well, Bob, are you a police officer? If so, you should know better than to defend these bozos.
The question of my resisting arrest is a red herring. But for the sake of your argument:
Does the officer have legitimate cause to arrest me? Has he properly identify himself as a police officer?
If he have met all these requirements, then I will not resist.
But, being as how I tend to not break any laws, a police officer would have scant reason to arrest me.
However, I seriously doubt you *ARE* a police officer. Your post tells me you are right up there with sofa on the cop-hating spectrum.
Thus, your question is moot.
Try again.
By the way, If you as a private citizen walked up to me and tried to kidnap me (which is what the law calls arrest by a private citizen in the absence of a crime, [or at least unlawful restraint,) you can bet I'm going to resist. And I am very good at resisting criminal restraint of my person.
I would have shot the horse dead if I was shopping and a 1000 pound animal came at me.
If I were it's rider, I would have reciprocated. Take the joke or get out of the way.
So you would break the law, endanger others, then when they defend themselves in a potentially dangerous situation, you would commit murder over a dead horse? Some joke, yet another reason our country is in decline.
Horses are unpredictable; I had a friend killed by one. This genius who rode into the bar was likely very drunk and had already been in a bar fight. The horse was probably more in control than the human. In the noise, lights and crowded conditions of a bar the horse could have panicked and trampled the patrons.
BTW the word is "its", not "it's".
This was kinda like the last hoorah, since Barry O wants to euthanize/slaughter all our horses and turn them into soylent green for the wall street protest gimme gimme crowds. Since he could not use our elderly with obamacare.
Another reason he wants to slaughter and rid the US of wild horses is because Ronald Reagan was a real Horse lover, We all know Obama secretly loathes Reagan's legacy. Obama's a legend in his own mind, trying to channel RR just to get reelected, it's all so disgusting…..
You're disgusting.
flynny is right. And I'll add that Obama truly hates the United States of America. Everything he does is deliberate all for the purpose of destroying this mighty nation. He is an arrogant fascist pig with a secret love of horse meat. His daddy was a muslim communist and we all know that evil is fittest to consort with evil.
I think the whole thing was pretty cool. Nice calm horses at that. Well trained anyway. I'm Glad Obama was not working the meat counter at Safeway, he would have wanted someone else to slaughter them. Since obama is too much of a wimp to get is fingernails dirty.
The Starbucks guy should have asked, "Are the horses paying or will it be seperate tabs?"
This is what rich people do..disregard law and order…
For another example see Lindsay in hawaii and her shoot at the PB Mansion,
only lost 10,000…..could have made my Christmas …
Where's my Hay????
hey hey hey…. hey hey hey….
Coooco ochoo Mrs. Robinson…..
Dude, your name is pretty apt. These guys were local ranchers, not fancy rich people. But by all means, denigrate rich people (aka the ones who could give you a job and help you move outta your mama's basement).
The cops are taser happy.
"It's not clear yet on what inspired them to take their horses through town."
Um….what part of the line "three people took their horses to several bars" did you not understand?
Whoa! Some of you have missed the mane point -Should the judge rein them in and throw the book at them? Neigh, I should hope not. They were just out to have BIT of fun. It would behoove you to get a sense of humor. Has a Gallop poll been taken? They were just out to stirrup some laughs.
Tazed for what?
Physically assaulted and kidnapped, for what?
Lessee… I think the charge was resisting arrest.
And, sofa, that is the technical term; "arrest", not kidnapping. Climb down off your leftist, cop-hating soap-box.
These boobs might have been thinking they were having some harmless fun – granted. They may have been intoxicated. There is no law against stupid, and all those things.
But… there is a reason only service animals are allowed inside most stores which sell food and restaurants – public health.
Or maybe you wouldn't mind if a big pile of horse manure ended up in the vegetable bin, or on the floor at Starbucks. Maybe you'd think it was funny that the employees would have to clean up the mess, and that Safeway had to throw out the food that was contaminated.
The riders were nitwits. Period. They acted like a couple of addled school kids. One resisted arrest, and they got whacked for it.
End of story.
HAY- I def-WHINNY-ately agree. GALLOP poll? How about a STRAW poll?
OTOH… A Jones… great job.
Galloping in? Scared the customers and the cashiers? I saw none of that, can't the "reporters" use their own eyes? This Steamboat Springs! Any town with the word "Springs" in it has to be used to horses and this was just a prank. I'm from Shingle Springs – horses are everywhere and if someone came into our Safeway on a horse it would draw a crowd, but nobody would be scared, especially with such nice horses and such good riders.
Well, it IS Colorado and horses were there LONG before Starbucks…and those paints are beautiful. If one of them was mine, I'd want everyone to see him too. Shopping by horseback….totally cool. People scared of horses living in Colorado…totally insane. IMO.
Yeah, well, it's a resort town. The hand wringers move in from places like Cali and try their hardest to ruin it. The commentary in the video from the folks that are saying "this is totally not sanitary" is a great example. At least we aren't as bad as Aspen. Yet.
If they were in L.A. the cops would have killed them.
And if they were in Arizona, the fast-food restaurants would have had free beef for a few months!
A little bit of horsing around, never any harm in that.
Wait, unless Sandusky was involved. Someone better check and see that he hasn't fled PA for CO.
Bartender: "Wow, we don't get many horses in this bar!"
Horse: "At these prices I'm not surprised!"
Just some harmless horsing around. Nothing wrong with a little horseplay. Innocent little prank. Shoppers were scared? Why? Were they demo riders? Just some freaking horses! Willl-burrrrrr
That should say "demon riders." Right, Willl-buurrrrr?
I hope the police tased the living sht out of him, AH.
–yo a child, a horse may as well be a motor vehicle
–and horse are easily spooked in unfamilair human habitats
–I hope the judge gives him the max
You are a fool WillieJohn. Your mama dropped you on your head more than once reaching for her crack pipe and you know NOTHING about horses. ALL horses don't get "spooked in unfamiliar human habitats". Try to comment on things you actually know something about.
Wish my horses were as well behaved as these three! Those horsemen must be really good and work with their horses a lot or the horses wouldn't have even entered the building, stood quietly while the rider made his purchase, etc.
Wish people like you would actually think before you speak / write about something you know diddly.
Where is the common sense? These types of idiots are why there are so many laws on the books. Just because there isn't a law against doing something does not always mean it a good idea. These horse riders think they are so hip or maverick but the reality is they are only showing that they need government to legislate to them because they can't act responsibly or maturely. Grow up!
Hip? Seriously? I doubt these guys were trying to be "hip."
Sounds more like a few drunk hayseeds to me, trying to do something goofy and stir up some trouble in the process.
Harmless trouble. Nobody was hurt, one of them got what was coming, everything is fine, I don't think we need to go overboard on these guys.
Oh get a life. I think your jealous
Ok, Mr. Lee, this is the reason that we have laws? Really? Because if we didn't we would all be over run by wildmen on horseback trying to buy chips at the local store? I would rather have to step around the random crazy on horse looking for chips than have another BS law trying to stop the once in a million occurence that didn't need to be stopped to begin with. HOnestly, assume there isn't a law on the book about horses and starbucks…has it really been a problem till now…do you really think we're gonna have to put the brakes on a rash of horses at the local coffee shop? Maybe we should just take it as it comes and ask the horse to leave one by one instead of call an emergency legistlative session.
""I had a great ride right up until the very end," Miller, 44, told the Steamboat Pilot an hour and a half after he was released on a $750 bond from the Routt County Jail."
God bless you Michael Joseph Miller, Kenneth Recker and Roxanne Lange. Nobody was frightened, there is just a war going on with anything that looks out of place according to any given police officer. The average citizen? We welcome this kind of tomfoolery. I woulda' smiled and continued on my way.
You guys should read the police blotter in the Steamboat paper. People in this town call the cops for every little thing. It would be even more hilarious if it wasn't also a little sad. Ninnies!
No, really, we need to legislate against this just incase some Starbucks customer is alergic to horses. They could go in to Anaphylactic shock. It could be like giving out peanuts on airplanes all over again. Ahhhhhchooooooo!
Sure scrooge, I hope you got coal in your stocking too. I don't advocate stupid stunts but, this gets done all the time in the movies and nobody says they're being a bad example. Just because of all the promiscuity in the movies, that doesn't mean real people would do that too would it? i blame Hollywood.
But, bottom line is, that this was good for more than a few good laughs.
Actually, you're spot on Mr Lee. Our freedoms exist because we have, with great success, governed ourselves. When you abuse a freedom, you can bet that it wont be long until that freedom no longer exists. Even 200 years ago you wouldn't ride your horse into the general store.
Not only will they ban horses from going in stores, but they'll ban them from being on city streets or in town altogether, etc … I like horses and I like the freedom to ride. I sure would hate to see cities start making ordinances that effect what people have been doing for hundreds of years simply because a few careless and thoughtless individuals took it a step too far.
200 years ago the horse wouldn't fit into the average general store. BTW this kind of stuff did use to happen and they usually got shoed out with a broom. I can remember some guy riding his horse into the drugstore and right up to the soda fountain. LOL This guy was always pulling one kind of stunt or other and it didn't mean the whole town fallowed suit or made a bunch of dumb laws.
This kind of stuff isn't why we have so many stupid over reaching laws. Its people like you and Lee that have no sense of humor and can't think of other ways to handle goofy or dumb stunts like this. Why don't you two go someplace where martial law is already in effect and you need permission just to paint your house.
Democrat, right? Card carrying member of the Socialist Democrats of America? Tired of thinking for yourself and want the Nanny State to take care of you?
These guys pulled and stunt and if any damage was caused then they should pay for them. But for this you want the government to write more laws and legislate everything? You really should move to the E.U. and stop trying to turn the U.S. into the E.U., Russia or China. You would feel safer there because they believe like you do.
They had colds and were a little horse…
I think they have the right idea. We need to go back to horses and buggies…a gentler time in many ways.
A shame the police used a stun gun. They should have fired real bullets from a real gun. Silly Colorado fruits.
I wish I could shop on horseback
You can lead a horse to Safeway, but you can't make him shop!
A horse walked into a Safeway and the cashier said "So, why the long face?"
They will have to pony up the money for the damages after all that horsing around!
They were probably protesting environmental regulations against CO2 releases from horse manure.
They just finished watching "Blazing Saddles" and confused Clevon Little the Sheriff with Obama!!!
"It's not clear yet on what inspired them to take their horses through town"
Because they're mad as hell, and they're not going to take it anymore!
You sure that's a horse? Looks like Chelsea Clinton.
Why the long face?
naw……looks like an ass……………lol
Cleanup on aisle 3!
Those people are racists against horses…the horses were here before the corporations. In Colorado, horses have priority over Starbucks or Safeway…go Broncos!
It's Bronco-Mania again!
If the Broncos can beat the Patriots Sunday, there will be a lot more horses shopping at Starbucks in person, for Christmas gift cards, for all the horse haters out there!!
Recently hundreds of people on bikes thought it would be "fun" to ride through a department store in a mall on Black Friday. Quick acting security were able to block out most of the riders but a few got in. When they saw that they were mostly alone they got off their bikes and walked them out of the store. Had all the riders been successful getting in customers and employees would have been caught in the middle of the chaos and a lot of damage would have happened in the store. This is the second time the bike flash mob has tried to ride through the department store. Back in the 70's some guy would streak across a baseball field and most people would laugh, but more and more people don't give a damn who or what they damage all for the glory of a prank.
Think about an America where people are trampling the rights and safety of others. Think about it happening in your work place, or a store your family is shopping in. I think the guys were selfish jerks.
Well you're boring.
Definitely boring.
You are the sourpuss of the week. Frankly I'd rather have horses in the store than bicyclists. The latter are a rude lot believing they are so superior to us ordinary folk. In San Francisco they cause havoc every last Friday of the month, thereby trampling all over the rights of workers, shoppers, tourists etc. by preventing them to go about their business.
YOu need to get a life! these guys and horses didn't hurt anyone or damage any property. Take you tight tush to any one of the numerous countries where you can't fart without getting in trouble.
Yeah, boring.
Some western states still have quirky laws on the books. According to the charges, it might be worth it to investigate.
This is the Colorado version of Occupy Starbucks, and a retort to Occupy Walmart from yesterday.
was one of those horses Thunder the Broncos mascot, btw?
"It's not clear yet on what inspired them to take their horses through town." Really? You don't think maybe they had a little too much to drink? Also- they didn't steal anything? And Police had to taser them- why? I'd like to think for the sake of a good story. And this, friends, is a mighty good one. I'd like to thank these gentlemen riders for a really good laugh.
Good grief! We used to take horses through the McD's drive through when they still had the pneumatic hoses…we actually taught our horses to stomp on them to ring the bell. Chris Ladoux rode his horse through a frat house at ENMU…up the front steps, in the front door, through the house, out the back door and down the steps…IT WAS FUNNY! Instead of using personal judgement, Americans have quit using their brains and blindly follow laws. These three are hilarious but the clerk who called the horses 'huge' needs to get out more. It's not like these guys were on Clydesdales.
the police tasered them because one of the blokes hit someone with his fist.
Looks as though we still have a few American Boys up there in Colorado!
Semper fi !
Pancho en Arizona
My horse is named Pancho (!) and I always wanted to ride him through Viva Fresh Mexican Restaurant in Burbank because it had been done before, according to the bartenders, so the dream remains.
