You are here: Home / Dress For Success!
Dress For Success!
Please step out of the gene pool, humans are trying to swim there.
You, like so many others these days, find yourself looking for work. You shine your shoes, clean and press your suit or dress and make sure your hair and teeth are properly brushed. You do your best to look like the professional you are or wish to be, as the case may be. Soon, you discover that some jobs, like rodeo clown, are far more dangerous than they appeared in 70's TV shows. They also don't pay well. Others, like CEO of a major corporation, pay really well but require skills and education that you may be lacking. Still others make you think that being homeless might be a smart career choice. For example, yesterday I was offered the chance to be a counter clerk at a grocery store in a high crime neighborhood, 3rd shift – naturally, for the incredible amount of $6.00 per hour (before taxes). I know you're shocked that I said thanks, but no. That's even less than I make here and no one shoots at me when I blog.
Nevertheless, some people know exactly what to wear to get the most out of their sartorial choices. For example, police in Idaho remind casual readers that wearing bunny suits in public while stalking children is not a good idea.
Police in Idaho Falls have told a man to stop wearing a bunny suit in public after people complained he has been frightening children.
Residents in the northwestern city of 54,000 people also reported William Falkingham, 34, occasionally wears a tutu with the bunny suit, police said in a statement on Tuesday.
Police warned Falkingham after a woman said she saw him dressed in the costume, peeking at her young son from behind a tree and pointing his finger like a gun.
While a police report said other residents were "greatly disturbed" by his activities, one neighbor defended Falkingham as eccentric but otherwise harmless.
"He's got the bunny outfit, a cowboy suit and a ballerina dress but you don't see him except where he's tripping through his backyard," Deborah Colson told Reuters. "He's got a strange lifestyle at home but we all do weird things at home."
Falkingham told officers he "enjoys wearing the suit" but understands the concerns and that he could be cited as a public nuisance, police spokeswoman Joelyn Hansen said.
Of course he enjoys wearing the bunny suit. He's out of his freaking mind.
As to Deborah Collins, I HAVE GOT to party with her.
Anyway, sometimes you're just not in a bunny suit frame of mind. For example, if you're robbing a 7-11 then you might want to eschew the Leporidae theme and go with the Spongebob Squarepants motif.
Authorities in Florida said they were trying to identify an armed man who robbed a 7-11 store while dressed as the cartoon character SpongeBob Squarepants.
Osceola County sheriff's spokesman Twis Lizasuain said the costumed robber and a second man held up the store, located outside of Orlando, Thursday and escaped with a drawer full of cash, WPBF-TV, West Palm Beach, Fla., reported Tuesday.
Lizasuain said shots were fired during the incident, but no injuries were reported.
The spokesman said the crime was unusual for the department.
"It's not unusual for criminals to disguise their identity," Lizasuain said. "It is unusual he would use that particular character."
Well, of course it was in Florida. What the heck did you expect?
On the other hand you do have to give the dude (dudine?) style points.
But what if you don't have a cool costume when you wish to be nefarious? Not a problem. As police in Brookfield, Wisconsin report, you just can sit nude in someone's yard.
Wisconsin police said a man caught driving a stolen vehicle is also facing charges for allegedly sunbathing nude in a stranger's yard chair.
Police said Derek Knight, 20, of Brookfield, was arrested at 1:30 a.m. Friday after driving to a condominium complex in a car that had been reported stolen, Patch.com reported Wednesday.
Officers said Knight was previously arrested June 29 after a woman reported he was sunbathing nude in a chair near her front door and refused to leave. Police arrived to find Knight wearing only a bandanna wrapped around his face and a pair of sunglasses.
Knight told police he had walked nude from his home to the woman's residence.
Police said Knight had been released on bond earlier June 29 from an arrest stemming from allegations he stole a car from the Town Hall parking lot June 27 and smoked hashish inside the vehicle.
Knight is facing charges of lewd and lascivious behavior, disorderly conduct, operating a vehicle without owner's consent, possession of drug paraphernalia and two counts of bail jumping. His bail was set at $1,500.
$1,500? All he has to do is come up with is $150 (10% in cash, the rest on a promissory note) and he's good to go? I HAVE GOT to party in Wisconsin. It's almost worth the $150 just to do what he did. Face it, we've all spent more on dates and had less fun.
Maybe not you since you're a god or goddess, but I know I have.

This beetle was spotted on a stem of California Buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum) at the Claremont Colleges' Robert J. Bernard Biological Field Station. I wondered if it might be a metallic wood-boring beetle (Buprestidae)? Any information about its identity will be greatly appreciated!
Update: Richard Westcott, who identified this beetle to species, notes that "the occurrence of this species on wild buckwheat undoubtedly is incidental, not indicative of a host plant. All known host plans are composites, family Asteraceae."
Thanks so much for the species identification! I'm glad to be able to contribute some images of this species in the wild.
I added your comment about host plants to the description above. We do have plenty of Asteraceae at the field station, as you can see from our plant list.
Moved from Metallic Wood-boring Beetles.
Thanks so much! This will be a new taxon for our field station invert list.
Thanks! It semms like I was on the right track as to the family. I hope an expert will be able to take it little further.

Which as You Know Means Violence: On Self-Injury as Art and Entertainment
A blending of art and pop cultural criticism about people who injure themselves for our entertainment or enlightenment.
A few weeks before he died, Hunter S. Thompson left an answerphone message for Jackass' Johnny Knoxville: I might be coming to Baton Rouge... and if I do I will call you, because I will be looking to have some fun, which as you know usually means violence. Fun does not, of course, mean violence for most people. Those who choose to make a hobby, a career or an art practice out of injury are wired differently -- subject to unusual motivations, and quite often powered by an ardent death-drive.
In Which as You Know Means Violence, writer and art critic Philippa Snow analyses the subject of pain, injury and sadomasochism in performance, from the more rarefied context of contemporary art to the more lowbrow realm of pranksters, stuntmen and stuntwomen, and uncategorisable, danger-loving YouTube freaks.
In a world where violence -- of the market, of climate change, of capitalism -- is part of our everyday lives, Which as You Know Means Violence focuses on those who enact violence on themselves, for art or entertainment, and analyses the role that violence plays in twenty-first century culture.

In total Quadriga provides services to over 400,000 guest rooms and operates in over 50 countries throughout Europe and the Middle East.
Thank you for your excellent efforts in making Quadriga's sales conference such a huge success. The feedback I continue to receive is amazingly positive and this is very much down to your creativity, dedication and patience!
Quadriga has approximately 80 salespeople in the regions, but had not run a European sales conference for some time. They wanted to initiate the sales conference as an annual motivating event, but were also keen to avoid the normal "powerpoint + drinking" approach that many companies seem to take.
Their aim was to energise and motivate the salesforce, build a positive, high-performance sales culture and get across key business messages in a memorable, creative way.
As a result of the first conference in 2005, we have now run the last 4 Quadriga conferences in different countries, with increasingly positive feedback – and with the challenge each time of coming up with something even better and different than the year before!
Each conference has been deemed a huge success, with Directors being able to concentrate just on their sessions in the knowledge that the logistics and smooth running of the event is in safe hands.
Product and Business messages have been communicated with flair and creativity – and without falling into the death-by-powerpoint trap.
It has been a real partnership effort, working closely with their management team and by serious multi-tasking (e.g. interviewing managers and running leadership training sessions during the day and hosting team karaoke sessions at night!) we have been able to create a hugely professional event without the huge costs normally associated with such conferences.
Many new starters have commented that it was the best conference they have ever been to.

Derived from Sunflower oil (Helianthus Annus Seed Oil) or in some aquatic plants, ceramids are part of the essential skin lipidic elements. They form a protective barrier on the skin and help fighting dehydration.
Sunflower culture, from which Plant ceramids come from, is being experienced since a few years in West Africa, particularly in Mali where 10 000 hectares of land were saved for this culture.
Plant ceramids are a protective barrier for the skin. Protecting it from dehydration, they help it maintain hydration and they protect it lastingly. Black and brown skin tend to have a very low level of ceramids.

New songs from Minus the Bear, Eyelids, Slowdive, Pete Silberman and Liam Paton
Ryan Barham / January 13, 2017
Minus the Bear – 'Invisible'
It's been far too long since we heard from Minus the Bear and 'Invisible' marks their welcome return. The first track to be aired from their new album 'VOIDS' (out in March via Suicide Squeeze Records), it's an addictive slice of pop hooks and mathy riffs as the band sing about how 'you're not invisible'. There are stop-start moments and a danceable, almost Foals-like climax.
Eyelids – 'Slow It Goes'
A band from Portland who have toured with The Charlatans and whose next album will be produced by none other than R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, Eyelids specialise in a very classic and melodic form of songwriting. The members of the band previously played with indie legends including Elliott Smith, Stephen Malkmus and Guided By Voices' Robert Pollard and these guitar-led influences shine through on 'Slow It Goes' – a song that combines The Smiths' janglier moments with a blast of Cribs-esque attitude.
Slowdive – 'Star Roving'
Shoegaze legends Slowdive have returned with their first new material in 22 (!) years and 'Star Roving' will make you feel like they've never been away. Full of atmosphere and layers, the song gradually builds up over the course of its five and a half minutes before progressing into a soothing finish that will leave you mesmerised. It hints at great things to come on their new album and at their Field Day headline performance.
Pete Silberman – 'New York'
The Antlers' 'Hospice' is one of our most loved albums of all time (the follow-ups were equally compelling) and now in that much-missed band's frontman Pete Silberman's debut solo outing, he continues to display that deeply affecting and poignant sound that leaves you with goosebumps in places you never knew existed. The forthcoming EP 'Impermanence' is inspired by Pete's experience with a hearing impairment that meant he had to leave Brooklyn for somewhere altogether more secluded upstate, and 'New York' is a very sparse (and perhaps Sparklehorse-like) song which is subtly emotional and has delicate guitar lines. The video, made from public domain footage being spliced together by Silberman himself, is equally profound.
Liam Paton – 'Walk Towards the Fireworks'
Anyone that lists the likes of Olfur Arnalds, Max Richter and Sebastien Tellier in an email to us is worth a listen and Liam Paton does not disappoint. Making use of his experience writing for the screen and stage, 'Walk Towards the Fireworks' is a piano-led instrumental piece that surprisingly clocks in at under three minutes. Around the halfway point, strings are added to that bring some lightness as it threatens to delve into intensity.

Black Cauldron isnt the only horror movie that Disney took a risk on
Watcher in the Woods and Something Wicked This Way Comes they were and still are pretty scary.
and I still love Black Cauldron. Yeah Disney thinks that movie is a flop or whatever but the movie has fans + cult following yada yada.
Disney is just too chicken ***** anyway to try to dabble in more horror
Fri 30th Apr 2021
the Blue Lagoon (Amazon Prime Video) - Set during the 1800's it follows a pair of kids who survive a shipwreck (initially with the help of a salty old sailor called Patty), and must learn the realities of life & love by themselves as they grow up on the island.
I remember liking it when I was around 12-14 (probably because of all the nudity), but going back to it now it's a dreadfully dull film (especially post-Patty). Pretty shots of wildlife, though.
Bumblebee (Amazon Prime Video) - Prequel of the Transformers films that follows the titular Autobot as he first arrives on Earth, and with the help of a human teenager protects the planet (and the future of his own race) from Decepticon invasion.
Pretty standard popcorn flick. All the 80's music is great, but overall I'd peg it about the same quality as all the other Transformers movies (though I had no particular attachment to the franchise as a kid, so keep that in mind).
A Goofy Movie (Disney+) - Feeling his teenage son Max is pulling away from him, Goofy decides to drag him along for a cross country fishing trip (a family tradition), but Max has different ideas for their destination as he lies about the nature of the trip in an effort to salvage a fledgeling relashonship with the girl he likes.
I always caught the sequel to this, An Extremely Goofy Movie, as a kid & always wanted to see the original but never found it on. I'm glad I was finally able to see it, as while it's probably just because it tugged at all the right nostalgia strings (our own family used to take annual summer fishing trips), I really found myself connecting with & enjoying it.
Gunbuster (HiDive via VRV) - A condensed film version of the classic anime OVA series from the creator of Evangelion that follows a young teenage girl who goes from bumbling recruit to a key figure in defending humanity from an alien threat.
Animation is absolutely fantastic & there's definitely strong story & themes behind it (I liked the consequences of the flow of time being different for space travellers, so her friends back on Earth became middle aged while only a few months passed for her), however it feels supremely rushed as you can tell tons have been chopped out in order to fit it in movie form (unfortunately this seems to be the only version legally available to stream or buy in the US), and for some reason the subtitles cut out during the last 10 minutes which was infuriating (even after backing out & trying to restart, they keep cutting out at the exact same spot).
Star Wars Episode 1: the Phantom Menace (Disney+) - the first of the prequel films which follows how a young Anakin Skywalker first got involved in the struggles of a galaxy far, far away.
I won't have much to say on it since I believe I did a big write up on it last year when I watched it, but it's one of the first movies I remember going to the theater to see, so it'll always hold a special place for me despite it's flaws.
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)

Tue 11th May 2021
Finished watching the recent live action Sonic the Hedgehog movie and it was really good! People tend to say that movies based on video games are generally awful but this one might just be one of the best. I loved the actor voicing Sonic and Jim Carrey as Dr. Eggman is pure brilliance. In fact, this whole movie just felt like something you'd expect to see from the 90s in terms of the overall vibes. Like if a Sonic movie had been made in the 90s, I could absolutely see Jim Carrey starring as Dr. Eggman as well since he was in so many amazing movies during that period. That was probably the main reason for why I was so compelled to watch it since I typically dislike watching movies.
Also, I'm really glad that they're making a sequel and that more Sonic characters will be showing up in the next one. I'm definitely looking forward to watching it as well!
@LtSarge that movie was great! The whole family is looking forward to the sequel. We all enjoyed the detective Pikachu as well. Last weekend we watched the Mitchell's vs the Machines on Netflix and all the adults were busting a gut laughing.
@Krzzystuff Oh yeah, I completely forgot that I had also watched Detective Pikachu. That one was really good as well! It feels like we're now entering an era of excellent live action movies based on video games. Would love to see more of this from other franchises in the future.
This conversation actually reminded me that the CGI Resident Evil movie is coming out in just a couple of months on Netflix. I'm definitely looking forward to watching that one as well!
@LtSarge i think they just released the next Castlevania season on Netflix as well....i forgot which season i finished off at. Haven't watched to many shows as my personal time has just been consumed by gaming

Gas Pump Girls (Amazon Prime Video) - 70's comedy that sees a young high school graduate (along with a small group of her friends) running her uncle Joe's gas station over the summer after he's laid out by a minor heart attack (induced due to anxiety over the fact that his mom n' pop operation is threatened by the sleek new corporate outfit across the street taking his business).
A pretty standard story of the little guys standing up to the big conglomerate, though with any deep acting or heavy themes sidelined in favor of a lighthearted vibe, mostly centered around nudity & sexual innuendo. Not the worst way to spend an afternoon as long as you know what you're getting into & take the time era into consideration.
Is it Wrong to Try to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon? Arrow of the Orion (HiDive via VRV) - Film adaptation of the Light Novel/Anime series that takes place between the anime's first two seasons. Here, our hero Bell obtains a legendary weapon (sword in the stone style) and as such he and the gang are called off to slay a powerful monster that threatens the entire world.
It's okay, though it kinda just feels like an extended episode due to the fact that the animation/style doesn't really hit any highs that seem above & beyond what you see in the tv series. That's not necessarily a shot, as the show can look absolutely gorgeous, but given that the film's narrative is an aside unrelated to the core story, it means there's no reason to really check it out unless you've watched the anime & want more.
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones! (Disney+) - Middle entry in the prequel trilogy of the legendary franchise, that continues to follow the exploits of young Jedi Anakin Skywalker and how he slowly starts taking steps to a dark future...
It can be really slow & has some aged CGI elements, but overall I still enjoyed it.
Star Wars: the Clone Wars (Disney+) - Taking place inbetween episodes 2 & 3 of the prequel trilogy, this animated feature covers some exploits of Jedi such as Anakin Skywalker & Obi-Wan Kenobi (including the former grudgingly taking on an energetic young apprentice, Ashoka) during the titular "Clone Wars".
Released in advance of the Clone Wars animated television series, the film was actually made by taking a few episodes intended for the forthcoming series and stapling them together for theatrical release. It shows, but is a decent enough time if you're in a Star Wars mood.

Memento great movie that starts from the end and works its way back about a guy who cant remember anything new for longer then a minute I would really recommend it.

The last film I watched was Hitchhiker's Guide, which was nothing like I was expecting(haven't seen any of the other media for it) and I found to be entertaining if a load of absolute nonsense(which is fine, it is nice to switch my brain off)

Went to the cinema for the first time since COVID began to watch Ghostbusters Afterlife.
I thought it did a good job of passing things on to a new generation & vibe (even if that vibe was just Stranger Things: Ghostbusters Edition, what with a small group of tweens/teens unravelling a supernatural conspiracy in small town America) while tying it in & paying respects to the originals (though I can see some thinking it ultimately leans into the original's story a bit too much, I for one enjoyed every second of it).
Finally got around to Ralph Breaks the Internet. Not as good as the first, but as someone who grew up watching Reboot I always liked the concept of cyberspace being represented by some sort of futuristic cityscape, so I still mostly enjoyed it.
I do think it started to lean a bit too much into the stereotypical girl power theming that dominates a lot of core Disney's animated films these days, and while there's nothing inherently wrong with that, after the Frozen duo, Moana, Raya, & presumably Encanto, that seems to be more & more their thing this past decade (though admittedly this isn't taking Pixar's output into account).
@RR529 reboot was such a mind blowing show when it first came out. And then when they did the second part where Enzo was the guardian... massive generational leap. You ever watch the beastwars or beasties....the Dino bot transformers show? That was also big for me growing up.
Edited on Wed 5th January, 2022 @ 14:52 by Krzzystuff
@Krzzystuff, I think I barely remember Beastwars, but I never really got into it.
Even Reboot I don't think I watched during it's original run (though I think my older brother did), but when it was replayed alongside Dragon Ball Z when Toonami first premiered.
I was excited about the Netflix reboot (no pun intended) until they ruined it by having real world kids traveling between cyberspace & the real world (though there were attempts to bridge it to the original by having Mainframe be a place that still exists & by bringing back Megabyte as a primary antagonist).
@RR529 lol i had no clue they did a new show on Netflix. Definitely no need for live action in it.
Watched Eternals this morning.
Certainly very visually accomplished and the fight scenes could definitely be kinetic, but it felt a little slow & bloated (and I don't think any of them really stood out in terms of personality other than Kingo).
I feel like if you're the kind of person to really like the first two Thor movies, you'd probably like this. More of an epic/drama feel without much of the trademark MCU humor/quips (though there is some).

Last December I decided THIS was going to be the year I finally built my garden. I purchased my home five years ago, knowing exactly where I would put in beds, daydreaming of the fruits and veggies I would undoubtedly be growing, and it never happened. Life always got in the way. I had years … Continue reading How I Built a 72 Foot Garden For Less Than $25, and How You Can To!


Catcoin (abbreviated CAT) is an open source, decentralized cryptocurrency based on the Litecoin fork. It was launched in December 2013. The total coins in existence are 21 million. Block time is set at 10 minutes with 50 coins reward per block. The reward halving interval is 210,000 blocks. Catcoin implements a Proof of work algorithm scrypt. There is no initial premine happening.
The primary focus of the digital currency is to establish a strong and growing community and to improve the lives of cats and their humans. Exchanging CAT can be done on Cryptopia. Wallets are available for Windows and Mac users. Miners can join many pools like Geekhash, Cat E-Pool, Prohashing, and others.
Presently Catcoin has fallen behind on the rank list but is still alive and mineable.

The season opener for the 2016 SEIB Insurance Brokers Search For A Star series at Osbaldeston, Lancashire, on 9 April 2016 lived up to expectations, with a strong entry across all the sections giving the first class team of judges plenty to think about.
The day started with the working hunter and a strong but inviting course saw 11 clears go through to the second phase, judged by Richard Ramsay (conformation) and David Ingle (ride). First place went to the lovely 5 year old, Crunchie Million, owned and ridden by Robyn Taylor, 22, from Blackpool. Robyn wanted a horse to do workers and bought the unbroken chestnut gelding, by Splash Million out of a warmblood mare, 2 years ago. She has backed and brought him on herself and the pair did Pony Club activities, show jumping and dressage at local shows last year. "He was very straight forward to back and we have done a bit of everything just to get out and about", said Robyn, who works as a shop assistant and fits in riding during the evening and weekends.
Second place went to Sarah Cairns, riding Julie Thwaites' Ballyblood Sinbad. Sarah, 18, from Formby, has been riding the 10 year old coloured for the past 4 years and they have done mainly hunting and eventing.
Third placed Rebecca Wolfenden, 29, from Skipton, secured her ticket to HOYS riding her mother Angeline Briggs' Lord Lancer. The 6 year old bay gelding known at home as "Balou", is homebred, by Lord Louis out of an Irish Sport Horse mare, and the family also have his two younger siblings. "He was bred to show jump, but he turns his hand to anything and we have done some eventing and workers. We have been concentrating on affiliated show jumping this winter", explained Rebecca. "He was easy to break, he had a few quirks but he is very willing and wants to work. He has such a lovely temperament". They live on a farm and do lots of road work on quiet country lanes. The pair plan to do more show jumping and working hunter classes before HOYS. "It is so exciting to have qualified. It is a dream come true!" Rebecca had been unlucky with her old horse, who did not settle to showing like Balou. "He was such a cheeky foal and often jumped out of the field to be with humans", said Rebecca, who works in a riding school.
A strong class was split into two sections and competitors were asked to jump two fences and trotting poles in the first phase. Just 7 clears came before judges Chris Lawton (conformation) and David Ingle (ride) for the final judging. First place went to Santana's Special Edition, known as 'Rocky", ridden by Phoebe Mallinson, 18, and owned by her granddad, Joe Hewitson. Rocky, now 8 years old, was just backed when he was bought as a 4 year old, and Phoebe has done most of the work to bring him on. The pair have been successful in the SEIB Trailblazers series, winning the Trailblazers Working Hunter Championship in 2014 and 2015 and the 2015 Trailblazers Prelim Dressage Championship.
Second place went to the 7 year old bay gelding, Meaux Constellation, owned and ridden by Mrs Emma Harris from West Yorkshire. Sadly the top two places could not take their HOYS ticket, and third placed Rebecca Wolfenden had already earned her HOYS place in the Working Hunter. So it was fourth placed Louise Harrison, 18, from St Helens who took the HOYS qualification in this section with an impeccable performance, riding her mother Sheila Harrison's bay mare, Penny Princess. The 12 year old mare originally came from Ireland and Sheila bought her from a riding school. Louise has brought her on and then she was sold as a 7 year old when Louise was looking for a bigger horse. But within a year Louise was still looking for a horse and spotted Penny advertised for sale again, so they went to Sandbach to buy her back. Louise is a Ride Pilot for the BHS, taking groups of 6 to 8 riders out on hacks in keep local bridleways open, and Penny has proved to be perfect for this role. "We do lots of hacking, and when we ride through the village we sometimes go to McDonalds. Everyone loves her at the drive-through and she gets given carrots", said Louise. The pair have been successful in the SEIB Trailblazers series, winning the Novice and the Open classes and taking the overall Working Hunter championship, and winning both the 75cm and 85cm Show Jumping at the 2014 Trailblazers Championships. They also won the NCPA Intermediate Working Hunter Pony in 2015. During the winter months they hunt regularly with the Cheshire bloodhounds, and they have qualified for the Festival of the Horse hunter trial. The pair plan to do some BE Eventing this year, as well as doing some HOYS workers. "He is the ideal mother daughter share horse. Louise works in a bar and I do Penny when she is away", explained Sheila, who works as a radiographer at Alderhay. Louise is helped at shows by Faye Rudge, who she called her Lucky Friend. "When we were at the CHAPS Championships in 2015, Faye found a 4 leaf clover and put it in my pocket. We won the class – our first win ever – and reserve champion", said Louise.
Another quality entry was split into 2 sections for preliminary judging by Richard Ramsay (conformation) and David Bartram (ride) and 8 horses came back for the final placing. First place went to Fielding Fairytale, known as Doris, owned and ridden by Angela Hesketh, from Cheadle, Staffordshire.
Katie Atkinson, 28, from Preston riding her own Malibu Dancer stood second and earned a place at the HOYS final. Katie has owned the 8 year old ex-racehorse since 2012 and bought him straight out of racing. "He had previously hurdled but I bought him off Eric Alston before he had run him", she explained. Since then Katie has retrained Malibu and they did a few local shows last year. "This is our first proper season", said Katie, who has 2 other ex-racehorses that she acquired "by accident". "He is also called "ASBO" at home as he can sometimes be a bit of a thug", she said. He was bred in Ireland and then went to the USA before returning to the UK to race. The pair won the amateur class at Aintree Show last year and plan to do more showing, including riding horse and ex-racehorse classes, this year. "I never thought that going to HOYS would be within our grasp. It's unbelievable!" said Katie, who works as an aircraft electrician and also loves to go racing.
Show ponies and Show Hunter Ponies are combined for this class and a good entry was split into two sections for preliminary judging by David Bartram and Richard Ramsay. In the final placings, the top spot went to the lovely show hunter pony, to Balfour Hawkeye, owned by Vanessa Donald and ridden by her daughter, Madeline, 12, from Wilmslow. The family bought the 7 year old chestnut gelding, known at "mischief", 2 years ago with the aim of doing working hunter pony classes. The pair have competed in Welsh Section B classes and won Champion Show Hunter Pony at BSPS 2015. "He is the sweetest pony, he is mad about food", said Maddy. who is studying at Wilmslow High School. Mischief is kept locally at Holly Bank Stud and Maddy rides most days after school, hacking and schooling to prepare for the shows. They are trained by Anna Meehan, Andrew Collins and Helen Taylor. The pair will do more show hunter pony qualifiers this year, in preparation of HOYS.
Second place went to Joanne Jesson's Greensyke Sonny Boy, known as Murphy, ridden by daughter, Amelia Jesson, 10, from Harrogate. The family have owned Murphy, by Hollyhill Drummers Dream out of Parkton Silver Mist. since 2012 when they bought him from his breeder. He had done very little when they got him and Amelia has worked hard to prepare him for the show ring, doing clinics, fun rides and schooling. They love jumping and want to do more working hunter pony classes, having already gained success winning the BSPS Winter Championships Working Hunter Pony Cradle Stakes in March this year. "He was so green when we got him, but he always does his best for you. He is so honest and never puts a foot wrong", said Joanne. They plan to do the BSPS Summer Championships and the Great Yorkshire show. "We didn't think for a minute that we would qualify. A HOYS ticket seemed far away and I told Amelia just to enjoy it", said Joanne, "And now its in my pocket!" added Amelia, who is a student at Pannal Primary School.
Another good entry was again split for initial judging by Richard Ramsay (conformation) and David Ingle (ride). Seven were brought back for final placing and Astor, owned and ridden by Georgina Doran, 24, from Bolton, stood top. The 11 year old grey gelding is by the show jumping sire Odermus R, and Georgina had him on loan for 2 years before buying him last October. They have done mainly dressage and showing and were Reserve Champion Riding Horse at the North West Championships in 2015. "He is such a wonderful horse to do, he is a dream. His stable manners are perfect, he is the quietest horse on the yard", said Georgina, who keeps Astor at a small private yard with a friend and fits in riding around her work in admin for the local authority. "I owe this to Maxine Jagger who has been giving me lessons and has been a massive influence", said Georgina. "He just knows his job and has an unbelievable attitude – I can turn him out for a week and get back on him and he is just the same", she added. Georgina also has a welsh section D and a welsh section A that she has just backed this year. Her plan is to keep showing in preparation for HOYS.
Second place went to the aptly named Huntsman, owned and ridden by Emma Field, 15, from Bridgnorth, Shropshire. Emma is an active member of the East Shropshire Riding Club and does many of their clinics and events. 'Oliver', as he is known at home, is an Irish Sports Horse with Irish Draft x thoroughbred breeding, and Emma bought him in September 2014 when she was looking for a show horse. He had never been to a show so the pair did just local events last year, with some working hunter and dressage over the winter. "This is our first proper year showing. We watched SFAS at HOYS and I wanted to have a go. I have always wanted to ride at HOYS", said Emma. The pair will do more shows this summer and plan to go to Equifest later in the year. At home they do mostly schooling and hacking. "He can be very funny. When we are out on a hack he likes to look at his own reflection in the windows. He loves cross country and I would like to do working hunters eventually", explained Emma, whose ambition is to work with show horses. She is currently studying at Bridgenorth Endowed School in Shropshire. At shows Emma is helped by mum, Mandy Field, and friend, Kate. She started riding on a hairy pony and was so keen that Kate clipped it for her and took her to a show. "She rides every day and works very hard. She moved on from a 14.2hh pony to Oliver, and he is pretty full on and has not been easy. But she has persevered and it has all paid off", said Kate.
Second place went to Kathryn Riddle, 28, from Sheffield, riding her own Corrabaun Kingdom, known as Bob. Kathryn has owned the 5 year old pure Irish Draft for 2 years and does ID classes and cob classes. They have already tasted some success, standing second in their class at the ID Breed Show in 2015, and winning two novice cob classes. They have also done a season hunting with the Badsworth and Bramham Moor and Bob loved it. "He lives out all the time and we live on a farm so he is used to going out with the cows", said Kathryn, who works on the family farm and runs a cattery. "This is our first try at a HOYS qualifier, and it is just amazing that we are through".
Sadly, the day was marred for some as a number of prize winners were found not to meet the strict eligibility criteria of Search for a Star and as such they have not qualified for HOYS. The organisers have issued a separate statement reiterating that the rules will be enforced and urging competitors to read the rules and comply.
"It is very sad when we have to tell people they have not qualified, mostly regarding our passport rule, but rules are rules and any breach will not be tolerated. If you are a true amateur and fall within the rules we will bend over backwards to help you fulfil your dream, so please do not let these comments put you off. The SEIB Search for a Star competition is here to provide a level playing field", said Nicolina MacKenzie, SEIB Insurance Brokers Marketing Manager.


It may be self-explanatory but to work in the snow, you need to know how to ski or board. Not to an amazing standard, but to at least an intermediate to advanced level. If not, and you rock up at a resort wanting a job - sadly, you'll be the lifty on the magic carpets all season-long or wiping down tables in the cafe.
Right - you've upped your ability and you've decided you want to do a season. Now's the time to think about whether an instructor position is right for you. If you think that you will enjoy working with a cool bunch of people, wouldn't mind a customer facing role and would like to spend your days hanging out with resort guests showing them the ins and outs of skiing or snowboarding, then I have no doubt you'll love this job. It's very rare for resorts to hire staff who have no ski instructing experience so the best way to get this job is through an instructor program. It takes all the if's and but's out for you by providing you with the necessary training, qualifications, and experience that you need to get set up.
Now, you've decided upon an instructor training course. The next step is to choose where you want to go. Is it Canada, New Zealand, Japan or maybe even the beautiful Switzerland in Europe? Keep in mind that visa availability and age can effect options so remember to get advice from EA's training consultants on the best resort for you.
Have you felt that plateau in your skiing? That feeling where you really really enjoy skiing but are not sure that one day with ski school is really going to get you to that next level? Once your good enough, getting to the 'next level' gets harder and harder. It takes more effort, more time on snow... and a bit of technique. EA Ski and Snowboard training offers the perfect program for improving your skills and getting to the next level. With world-class professionals and time on snow to improve, you'll be dancing around the slopes in no time.
Step 5: Get your qualification and begin teaching.
Like every other career and job in the world, you're not going to get anywhere without experience and this is the perfect opportunity to work as a ski instructor and get a feel for whether you enjoy it. You'll understand how it all works and learn the best tools to get someone on their feet and sliding down the slopes. People come to this job for different reasons, some like to help others learn, others like the freedom of riding every day and others enjoy improving and then passing that skill on to others. Training and working in a single season is the best way to learn your 'why' and know what it's like to work in this industry.
We start recruiting for internships and training courses a year in advance, so if you haven't been in touch already, have a look at the next steps you can take below or view more resources!
Reserve your spot for 72 hours at the resort or country of your choice.
Speak with an EA consultant and discuss your options and next steps.
Finalise your destination, EA course, and start preparing for the winter of a lifetime.
"My skiing has reached the next level and building a career in this industry is now a possibility!"
"Teaching wasn't as I expected it to be. I really enjoy it so much more than I thought and really wanna pursue this as a career. What I really love about this line of work is getting the chance to pass on that love of skiing and really see people develop and start to love it themselves and have fun."
"Absolutely loved it here, meeting new friends and starting my way through a new career, everyone has been really friendly and helpful. The work was good and gave me so much more confidence going into the level 2 with that teaching under my belt."

Disney Reveals New Cruise Ships
Posted on March 8, 2018 September 28, 2019
The Disney Cruise Line has just revealed what its three planned ships will look like. The first artist's renderings for the new vessels expected in 2021, 2022 and 2023 actually look very similar to the current fleet.
The same black-white-and-red color scheme with golden flair is seen, and while it doesn't look exactly like the popular AquaDuck water coaster that is on both Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, there is some sort of tube-like feature running between the two funnels.
Disney Cruise Line has released the first look at what its three new cruise ships will look like. The ships which have not been named are slated to debut in 2021, 2022 and 2023. All three ships are on order with Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
"In keeping with the distinct Disney Cruise Line style, the new ships will embody the elegance and romance of the golden age of ocean cruising with unique touches all their own," reads a press release from the cruise line. "The new vessels will offer more innovation, new technologies, spectacular entertainment and more Disney stories and characters than ever before."
Scott Sanders who runs DisneyCruiseLineBlog.com, a fan site not affiliated with the line stated "All in all, the exterior rendering fits well with the iconic ocean liner look that was selected back in the mid-90s. This new design offers a bit of a distinction from the Dream class while still fitting within the overall look of the fleet."
The new ship features a curvier approach to the verandah cabins midship, which Sanders suggests might be a design choice to combat an hourglass look that's seen on Dream and Fantasy, or allow for larger staging areas around the elevators within the ship or to just to provide larger balcony staterooms.
"The area above behind the aft stack on the topmost deck is the most intriguing aspect of this rendering," Sanders said. "I've already thought of a few different options beginning at an expanded version of Remy, Palo, and Meridian from the Dream class to something completely new to this ship class."
Disney Cruise Line currently sails four ships: the smaller 2,713-passenger sister ships Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, which debuted in 1998 and 1999, and the larger 4,000-passenger vessels Dream and Fantasy, which began sailing in 2011 and 2012.
Dream and Fantasy sail year-round from Port Canaveral while Magic and Wonder hop around among ports including Port Canaveral, PortMiami, Galveston as well as Alaska and Europe.
Where the line plans to deploy its new ships has not been revealed.
While not much detail has been revealed about any of the three new ships, the line says that they will be 140,000 gross tons (which is larger than the 135,000 gross tons originally announced). That is slightly larger than the 130,000 gross tons of Dream and Fantasy, but will have the same number of staterooms: 1,250.
The new ships will also be powered by liquefied natural gas, which is the cleanest fuel the cruise industry has begun to embrace as more stringent maritime emission laws begin to take effect.

Where do I start? First an introduction is in order. I'm Kat Marcum, and I am part of the Wesley Foundation, like the previous bloggers. It's day 3 here in the Mole, and we are currently waiting for dinner.
I guess I'm supposed to tell you about our day so I'll begin with after breakfast when we set off for Marouge (the market town), to lead VBS for the children. We loaded the truck at 9:00 a.m. and set off on the bumpy (understatement) road. Our ride in the "tap tap" was once again entertaining to say the least. I'm honestly starting to really enjoy that big truck. Ha. After an hour and 15 minute drive we arrived at Marouge to find out that school did not get out until 1:00 p.m. We were presented with the option to either immediately return to the Mole or to fill the 3 hours remaining until school ended. We collectively decided to remain in Marouge to lead VBS.
This meant we had 3 hours to kill. One thing led to another (who made the decisions is beyond me!) but we began walking around the town, hut to hut. Little did we know the Spirit would lead us to several homes allowing us the opportunity to circle around each individual and pray for their specified requests. It was a beautiful experience to rely on the Lord to use us in his own way.
Around 12:30 p.m., we decided to tour the market. When we got there I was shocked! I have never seen such a market place! There were thousands of people selling produce, beans, corn, clothes, shoes, goats, chickens, sunglasses, radios, sundried fish, ect. It was overwhelming because it was literally packed! I'm so glad we got to really experience Haiti.
We went back to the pastor's house where there were about 50 plus kids playing outside the gates. We decided to start VBS and began to play with the kiddos. We told and acted out the story of David and Goliath then made bracelets, played with bubbles, passed out stickers, and played Frisbee. When the driver returned from the market, at 2:00 p.m., we packed up and headed back to the Mole.
This time our ride home was a little more out of the ordinary. We were "lucky" enough to have the "opportunity" to share the "tap tap" with 9 goats and 20 chickens!
We got back to the Mole around 3:00 p.m., ate a quick lunch, and then headed to the youth conference. The message tonight was about conflict resolution. The youth really responded to the message because apparently grudges are a pretty big deal here. We broke into smaller groups and talked to the girls about issues they have encountered and conflicts they have had with friends and how they have dealt with them. We talked to them about the forgiveness we have all received because of Christ's sacrifice for us. We ended our group talk with prayer and a great dance party to wrap it up for the evening.
We just finished dinner and are enjoying some down time before we have our meeting with our small group.
Keep praying for our team, we are having such a blast and the Lord is constantly revealing himself to us in new ways everyday!
