PMU (pregnant mares' urine) What happens to PMU mares?

For approximately six months from fall through spring, the pregnant mares live in the "pee barns," forced to stand in stalls with urine collection devices strapped to them. The stalls are deliberately narrow to prevent pregnant mares from turning around and detaching the collection cups. In the last month of their eleven-month pregnancy, the mares are put out to pasture to have their foals. The mares are put in a herd with a stallion, so they quickly become pregnant again. In September, their foals are taken away from them to be sold, whether or not they are fully weaned. The next month, they're back in the barns and the cycle starts again. The organization that represents the interests of the PMU ranchers, the North American Equine Ranching Information Council (NAERIC ), considers it "a testament to her health and strength" if a mare can have a foal each year for 20 years. Currently, approximately 7,000 PMU mares live on 73 contracted ranches in Manitoba, Canada. The minimum stall width specified in the regulations­ -- even for the largest draft breeds so commonly used -- is a mere five feet. A typical PMU ranch consists of a small family and one hired ranch hand responsible for feeding, cleaning and exercising nearly 100 pregnant mares at a time. All the mares stay in a rectangle stal from there Chess to there rear end and or flanks

What are some free Pokemon mystery duengon mmos?

The only one I know of is Pokemon Mystery Universe, aka PMU. Unfortunately, however, the server has been offline for about a month and there seems to be no word of when it will come back online. The upside is when it does, there will apparently be some sort of compensation to the players and...wait for it...no lag! :D


How do you evolve Pokemon on Pokemon mystery universe?

In PMU, you must defeat Registeel (found in the Ancient Relic dungeon). It consists of four main floors (five if you include finding the key) and at the end, you face four Bronzong and then Registeel. Once defeated, Registeel will give you a music box along with a variation of a few other items. Then, go back one square (where the poochyena are everywhere) and go up. Go up the rock steps to the cliff and continue upwards until you reach a small temple-like building. Enter it and at the top of the room, use the music box. You now have permanent access to PMU's equivalent of Luminous Spring. Enter the light to evolve. You won't get a confirmation box, so be sure you want to evolve before stepping in.

The photo booth on a MacBook Pro not loading. The camera has the green light but doesn't take a picture but ichat video chat is working. So what could be going on?

The question suggests that some other application (iChat?) is not releasing the camera. Check that iChat and any other camera using software is not still running in the background. Shutdown the computer and then restart it. If still not working the PMU may need resetting (See links below).
