Go Home Stop

When Kari canters her horse, she can’t control where he goes and her horse runs right up the butt of other horses in the arena. Nora’s very quiet mare spooked while Nora tried mounting and got away from her, causing chaos among the other riders. Barbara depends heavily on her instructor’s presence in order to ride. All three of these women were first-time horse buyers, and all three of them got quiet, experienced mounts; however, all of these women are still very weak riders and handlers. The frightening fact is that they don’t realize how weak they are or how much risk they are to other riders and horses.

So many books on horses for sale and about the horse and how it should be right for you. But when it comes to discussions of the potential owner and how that owner should be right for a horse, those same books typically do not say much beyond having the time and money sufficient to own a horse.

A potentially new horse owner should be of sufficient riding experience level and have some functional knowledge about horses, illnesses, lameness, diseases and everyday care. Sufficient riding level should be someone who is balanced and strong enough to handle the horse both mounted and from the ground. They should have good feel for what is going on beneath them and beside them.

Before you buy a horse, you should:

• Have strong understanding of the horse’s basic nature and instincts.
• Clearly know and understand your limitations and where you need help.
• Have strong knowledge of safety in handling horses for your sake, your horse’s sake and the sake of other riders.
• Be able to handle the common spook that any horse might give on the ground or when mounted. (That certainly doesn’t mean you could ride bucking broncos with barely a care, but you should be able to handle a horse shying at a shadow or scooting at the sound of a dog bark.)
• Be a balanced rider who can ride all the gaits-walk, trot and canter-without hanging onto the saddle or the horse’s mouth. You should be able to ride these gaits while maintaining regular contact with the horse’s mouth.
• Know how to spot a sick or lame horse.
• Know basic first aid for horses.
• Know enough about conformation to recognize when your horse has a swelling in the wrong place.
• Know the basics of good nutrition and proper conditioning of horses through diet.
• Know how to condition your horse through exercise.
• Be capable of staying out of the way of other riders, especially those who are weaker riders.
• Be able to control your horse or know how to regain your control when all heck breaks lose in the arena.

How do you gain this knowledge and experience? Read everything you can on training horses and keeping horses. Attend seminars on feeding and nutrition (often hosted by feed companies for free). Lease many different types of horses first before owning. Find a very capable horseman from which you might pick his brain for knowledge.

Learn as much as you can BEFORE buying horses and you can be assured that the learning process after you buy will be far more enjoyable and safe for both you and your horse.

Stop by and say hello whenever you are in the area.

Sincerity

You’ve probably heard a lot of things about Facebook being one of the best social networking sites out there.  It has lapped and gotten much more buzz than its competitors MySpace and LinkedIn.

However, it’s achieved these lofty heights because it is believed to be far less spammy and more real than the other social networking sites in the marketplace.

Whether this belief and reputation is true or not is highly debatable because I’ve been a Facebook user for about 19 months now and have seen the level of spam slowly creep up.

I had over 3000 friends in my Facebook account.

I tell you this not to brag but simply to point out I was a heavy user of Facebook.  I used this as my business contact and networking account so I’d only met 6 of them in person…the rest were contacts I’d friended on the site

I used it mainly for networking with people who are interested in the kind of business and markets I am in.

I even built up 4 groups with 500 plus members each and two of those groups had over 1200 members each.

Being a member of many groups meant I got more emails which wasn’t bad because I’d opted-in to them.  And lots of times I didn’t have the time to fully read through all of those e-mail communications from the groups I was a part of.

So the point is you must make sure your communications have highly valuable subject lines, with high levels mysterious and value provided so your group members will open them because it’s just like any other e-mail inbox in that you have to compete with many other messages for the attention of your group members.

Your goal is to be the ‘go-to’ source they trust and look for whenever they want info about your market.

So I was bopping along enjoying my Facebook experience when…disaster struck.

Unfortunately, a crazy thing happened to me on Monday, January 12, 2009.

I’d gotten a couple email notifications that I needed to respond to from friends. So I went to the site and it gave me the login screen.

And that’s when the unthinkable happened…

It gave me the message and I paraphrase “your account has been disabled by an administrator”.

“How could this be?”  I asked myself

I hadn’t even log in to Facebook since Thursday of the previous week and this was Monday so how did my account get shut down over the weekend. There was no activity at all much less suspicious activity to warrant them shutting me down.

To give you fair warning when I first started using the site in the summer of 2007 I was unaware of the Facebook ettiquette and had run afoul of a couple of their rules and gotten 2 account warnings.

Basically, I had been adding friends in groups I was part of too rapidly with the same canned message using Roboform.  And so the Facebook administrators re-enabled my account after telling me not to do the suspicious activity anymore.

After the account mishap I’d been very careful and not done any friend adds because by that point many people were friending me.

The fact my account got shut down without warning and for no reason had me greatly confused.

After contacting a few of my friends who are also heavy and highly expert site users I got down to what I believe may be the root reason why my account got disabled.

It seems Facebook is now cracking down on promotion to groups even though that’s the way they’ve wanted you to be able to mass communicate in the past.  Maybe all the heavy investment dollars they’ve taken are now forcing them to move forward more rapidly with monetizing the site than they planned. Either way it seems I got caught in the crossfire.

In talking with my contact he said he talked with a few of his friends and had seen about eight groups deleted because the group admin was consistently making promotional e-mail communications to those groups.

I had sent out a subtle e-mail communication with a link to an opt in page to all four of my groups on Thursday.  I did this because I was helping a friend launch a new product about Google Friend Connect and I varied the words I used in each of those e-mails so as not to upset the Facebook gods.

Unfortunately, I was unaware of this new policy about how the social networking site is no longer allowing promotions to groups and so I got snared apparently by their filters and my account shutdown.

This week I’ve contacted Facebook via e-mail twice and I’ve gotten no replies as to why my account was shut down nor gotten it rightfully reinstated.

This is extremely unfair to me and all the thousands of man-hours I’ve put into building my profile as well as the thousands of connections I’ve made and the people who count on me for the information I provide them.

But it’s like falling into a black hole where there’s no person you can contact to get your account back.

So here’s what you should do…follow their rules as much as you can. Only add 20 or so friends a day and don’t send out anything promotional. Get people to contact you through other means to make an offer to them.

Facebook is still a great and high growth platform with over 140 million users now.  You just have to be very careful when you’re using it so you can avoid the fate I suffered and the thousands of man-hours now down the tubes because of an unpublicized policy shift.

So happy Facebooking and beware.

Northern Light Of Information

Another common type of home loan is the adjustable rate mortgage or ARM. With this type of loan, the interest rate will fluctuate depending on the 6 different real estate indexes.

The interest rate changes so the lender of the loan gets a proper margin. Thats due to the fact that the indexes influence the cost of funding that loan in the first place.

Basically, your lender lets you take on a little bit of the interest risk instead of just the lender like in a fixed rate loan. This type of loan can be great if the interest on your home loan consistently falls for a long time.

You dont have to worry that much about the interest rates because even if they jump drastically, there are limits on how much your payments will increase.

These limits are called caps and mean that no matter the size of the interest jump, you wont pay more than a certain increase in a certain time period.

As an example, lets say a lender gives you an adjustable rate mortgage. It has a 1 percent cap for any 6 month time frame and a 4 percent total cap for the entire loan.

Your payments can increase as much as 4 percent at the maximum until the loan is paid off. Thats not too shabby if you consider when interest drastically drops, you save a ton of money.

Every area in the country has different interest rates so you should read up on it before you opt to go with an adjustable rate mortgage.

Local newspapers usually include interest rates and predictions so that is a great place to go to keep an eye on things.

Having your antique wedding rings match your partners engagement ring is an important issue when you go to choose them. There is a tendency to find elaborate antique wedding rings attractive but this type of ring may not go well with the engagement ring so it is best to try out a few different antique wedding rings first.

When two people say their vows to stay with each other, it is clearly symbolized in the circular form of the antique wedding ring they then place on one another’s finger. In fact, while there are customs that view the giving of the wedding ring as the last in a series of gifts. Often nowadays this older tradition is replaced by the giving of an ‘eternity’ ring to show that the vows taken are forever.

Another way to make your antique wedding ring more unique and special to both you and your partner is to have them engraved with a personal message. Just to add a further bit of individuality to both rings, why not have the edges engraved; then your antique wedding rings can be truly unique and reflect your personalities. Choosing your wedding ring is a personal thing so as long as you both agree, whatever you choose will be right.

You must never forget how important your antique wedding ring and do not treat it like another piece of jewelry as it will not often leave your finger. Irrespective of the design of antique wedding rings you finally decide on, do not accept anything but the highest quality. It is possible to buy antique wedding rings inexpensively but this should not be done as it undermines the significance of the wedding rings and you can be sure the rings will not stand the test of time.

If you are spending a great deal of money on your antique wedding ring, you will want to be sure that they fit perfectly. To make sure your antique wedding rings fit perfectly you will need the services of a professional jeweler to measure you and your partner’s fingers, which is something you can’t do over the internet.

By doing this simple thing you can ensure that the situation where the wedding ring either doesn’t fit or so loose it starts to slip off, doesn’t happen. Adjustments aren’t usually done ‘over the counter’ so allow plenty of time for your antique wedding rings to be adjusted before the big day. As there may be other work to be carried out on your antique wedding rings in addition to size adjustments, give the jeweler at least two months to get the work done.

Choosing the right antique wedding rings can also quite some take time with the huge choice of styles you now have available, unless you already have a design in mind. Both you and your partner should follow your instincts on your choice of antique wedding rings while remembering that what looks good today might not be quite as fashionable in a few years time. Remember that your antique wedding rings are a symbol of your love and commitment to each other. Such a commitment demands that you buy rings that you love and will enjoy wearing for the rest of your life.

I cannot believe how fast time really flies. It seem like a few days ago that my nephew Peter was born at the hospital. He was the cutest little tiny infant that I have ever seen. But now, in the blink of an eye, he is having his fourth birthday. His parents are throwing him a huge birthday party. We are talking about horses, clowns and a big bouncers. All his friends from school, church as well as a family member will be there. Since it is only five days away, I need to start shopping for present.

I asked my brother what Peter likes as a toy. He told me that his bedroom is filled to the roof with toys and that he does not need any more playthings. But he did tell me that since he is moving from a baby crib to a toddler bed that some nice and cute bedding for boys would be very much appreciated. So that very night I went online to do some shopping for bedding sets. I had no idea there were so many choices available to decorate a little boys bedroom. I enjoyed looking at the boys cowboy bedding, as well as the other themes available. The boys pirates bedding was so cute with the tall ships and canyons everywhere.

As I was browsing through a store I saw and know the mother with a little boy around Peter’s age. I started talking to her and she recommended the dinosaur boys bedding. She told me that her son loves it and that every boy would enjoy dinosaurs. It sparks the imagination and they can spend hours playing in the bedrooms. That was all the recommendation that I need to purchase this bedding set for my nephew.

A hearing problem can cause a great amount of difficulty for a person. Our sense of hearing is one of the primary means that help keep us safe.
