i built a subwoofer box i want to make sure its sealed very good, so what resin should i layer on my MDF wood that would seal and harden the box the best?
It depends on what your purpose for searching the computer was. If you can prove it was merely an accident then you may be able to claim innocence. Also did you have authority to search the computer? If so, you can tell them you were monitoring employee page history to make sure they were using company resources efficiently and not just surfing the internet. If its a site she has visited before you can prove it with digital forensics.
If you stay with them, petting and soothing, you're actually rewarding them for being afraid. In my experience, it's better to let them work through their fear without you. If you can safely shut them in, I would do so. If not, leave them in their usual well fenced field - if you have a choice, put them in the one that has the safest fence and footing and is furthest from the neighbors. Don't turn them out with lead ropes - they can get tangled with each other if they panic. Turn them out with halters or bare. I f they're blanketed, I'd take the blankets off and replace them when the fireworks are done. A lot of running and bucking and panic may cause the blanket to come loose or to fall on one side or another, the horse may step on it and tear it, or worst case may get completely tangled up in it. They learn pretty quickly. If you have time to prepare in advance, it's a good idea to put a calm older horse who isn't frightened in with them. His stoic acceptance will go a long way towards calming them. Edit: My horses only hear fireworks a few times a year, often right next to their paddock. They've desensitized on their own very nicely. Even the ottbs and the arabs hardly flick an ear any more.
This can be a learning lesson for you. If you desensitize them to the noise now, like we do with horses used in Cowboy Action Shooting or those used in police work, you solve the problem for the future. That's what Snezzy is talking about. I get where others are coming from, but here is the thingif your horses get very reactive and others like to use fire crackers, get ahead of this next time and work on it first. So you target shoot small caliber at a safe distance and direction until they don't care. Then you progress up. You can even use blanks to do this.Pretty soon you can do this and when the first round goes off, they jump and then look at you and forget about it.We target shoot right outside of the pastures (facing safely, of course), with everything from small caliber, to shotguns and clay targets. Our horses may jump at the first shots and move off, but then they just look around and quit.Actually, lightning struck the woods when I was rushing to bring them in one day, close enough that it crackled the ground where I was. and the 5 there scattered, but came right back to me when I opened a gate. Now that was a boom. My heart rate went up for about 45 minutes, but they recovered much faster.
My lovely horses get to live next door to a turkey shoot. Every Friday evening they listen to shotguns going off randomly for about three hours. It's the most wonderful training for them, so they're not bothered by loud noises. Rifle fire, balloons popping? YAWWWWN. Ho-hum. Just noise. So your horses got some weaponry training and you didn't even have to spend money on ammo. Sounds like a good situation!
If you have save fencing, and a pasture clear of obstructions (fallen trees, equipment, etc.) then its probably alright to let them just adjust on their own. Some horses however take much longer to adjust to such situations and some may be so scared that they will run blindly and crash through or try to jump fences and injure or kill themselves. If your horses are not handling this very well or seem absolutely panic stricken, you might want to go out and halter them, and hold them and stand with them, feed them some hay or oats. Or if you have a safer pen or stalls for them, it might be good to put them in their stalls with some hay. If they revert to more dangerous behavior in the stalls, then its best to leave them out.
