When dealing with a braced, pushy horse, the breakthrough usually comes when we confront the brace and simply hang in there--in some cases, "no matter what"--until the horse yields. A few years ago, I saw one of these classic, no-matter-what moments unfold in California while attending one of Buck Brannaman's clinics. It took place back when Buck was starting every horse in the colt class himself. Confronting a Brace Buck was in the arena aboard a very pushy warmblood gelding he was restarting. The big, attractive colt wore no halter or bridle. Instead, Buck was using his coiled lass rope to guide the horse. When Buck asked him to yield to the coils and turn, the pushy colt simply braced his neck...

Amazing Insights Of A Horse Training Expert...
Could a horse trainer, born about 154 years ago, teach us anything new today? Would the methods be old hat or would they be useful? The answer is a resounding Yes!, they are enormously useful. The horse training expert referred to is named Jesse Beery. Beery was a world famous horse trainer from the late 1800's who possessed amazing ability with horses. Fortunately, Beery's secrets remain after all these years. His information can be found in his book he wrote in the late 1800's. However, very few copies of his book exist.

College Football - So Who Is Really Overrated?...
I just love to pick on Hawaii, I guess because the Warriors are such an easy mark to spot as a grossly overrated team. All season I have been saying that Washington (Hawaii's last opponent this season) has none of the stats but is a better team and will beat Hawaii on its home turf December 1 in pineapple land. Heck, sometimes I forget Hawaii is part of the United States. Perhaps because, like Alaska, is not part of the contiguous United States. A quick check of the 2003 Time Almanac says Hawaii "is a 1,523-mile chain of islets and eight main islands." I am abashed (disconcerted) to learn that Hawaii's population is 41% Asian, 24% white, only 9% Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders, and 26...

Why Do You Run?
It is a simple question from a seven year old that starts me on a life review. "Why do you run?" she asks when I stop for lemonade at her make-shift stand, the one sporting a sign that warms my heart: " lemonaid 10 cents." But I can't answer her. For several seconds, I sip at the cup and smile at her sun-freckled nose. "Why?" she asks again. "It makes me feel good," I reply, tossing the paper cup into the garbage pail, glad that I can slip away without saying more. Her question unsettles me though. The answer I have so glibly thrown at her does not seem to ring true. Why DO I run? I have been a runner for 27 years, yet I am hard pressed to say exactly what makes me run. My first turn around the...

How to Find Your Strength in Quietness in God
Jesus was riding a colt into Jerusalem. Crowds of followers waved palm branches, laying their coats on the ground. Crowds were shouting praise to God for all the works of power which Jesus had done! Well... it wasn't all positive. The Pharisees, putting up a front on behalf of 'Roman order', told Jesus to get this crowd under control to which Jesus promptly replied (no doubt with eye to eye contact with His critics) 'if these don't do (this) then the stones will cry out!' However, in the midst of all the noise and energy there is yet another scene! The colt stopped; Jesus on its back.

The XM8 was based on the G36, which was based on the American AR-18. So yeah, it can be considered an American design at its roots. But, we probably will never see it in service. Not in this decade anyway. The SCAR and the XM8 are two completely different rifles. The XM8 is based on the G36 and the SCAR is an upgraded FNC. It's supposed to be a pretty good gun, but it's also competing against upgraded versions of the M4, which is a familiar system and would be less expensive to produce, and it is just as reliable as the FNC. I really haven't heard much about the SCAR other than snippets from magazines here and there and a few obscure WebPages. The XM8 apparently was less reliable and more fragile...

But not as much heaven as that first Sunday in February when all that fluff flakes aside, the wannabes and could have beens lying in the dirt, licking their wounds. The two teams still standing take two weeks off and prepare for that biggest of...
