Elusive Kate (left) and Sky Lantern clashing in Friday's FalmouthPICTURE: Martin Lynch (racingpost.com/photos)
Elusive Kate keeps Falmouth after stewards'
Report: Newmarket, Friday
Etihad Airways Falmouth Stakes (Group 1) 1m, 3yo+ fillies
ELUSIVE KATE upset Sky Lantern to win the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket on Friday, but connections had to endure a stewards' inquiry to keep the race after their filly hung left, forcing the odds-on favourite right across the track.
William Buick sent the John Gosden-trained Elusive Kate into an early lead, a move covered by Richard Hughes on Sky Lantern.
Last year's Falmouth winner Giofra sat third with Purr Along last under Frankie Dettori.
Little changed in the race until two furlongs out when Buick asked the 3-1 winner to quicken. Her response was to hang left, taking Sky Lantern with her into the centre and then to the far side of the July course.
They flashed by the winning post with Elusive Kate holding the advantage by a neck, but a stewards' inquiry was quickly called.
Gosden and Buick, interviewed before the inquiry, seemed optimistic they would keep the race.
Gosden said: "There was no contact and William did nothing wrong."
Buick pointed to Elusive Kate's previous when it came to hanging.
"She's done it all her life," he said. "When she won the Marcel Boussac as a two-year-old she ended up on the far rail, which is a long way at Longchamp."
In the stewards' inquiry, which was screened live on Channel 4, Hughes did his best to get the result changed, which would have given 1,000 Guineas and Coronation Stakes winner Sky Lantern her third Group 1 of the year.
"My filly's running straight as a gun-barrel," said the champion jockey.
"I've gone to join Mr Buick at the two pole and from the two pole to the winning line he's taken me right across the track."
Hughes, who acknowledged there was no contact between the two fillies, added: "He's hit my filly twice across the face. My filly is impeded and has to run away from Mr Buick."
Buick, who won the Prix Rothschild on the daughter of Elusive Quality last year, responded by saying: "As fas as the result is concerned there is no question Elusive Kate was the best horse in the race.
"She was always holding the second and I did my best to keep her straight. I tried to put my hand on the reins to the right and felt using my whip in my left hand was the best chance of keeping her straight."
Buick did pick up a three-day ban for careless riding and misses July 26, 28 and 29.
A return to Deauville for a defence of the Rothschild is on Elusive Kate's agenda.
Gosden, who trains the four-year-old for Teruya Yoshida, said: "The Prix Rothschild is the obvious race again next. After the Prix Rothschild there are races like the Matron and Prix Jacques le Marois and we might even want to go to the Breeders' Cup Mile."

The God of Angel Armies…
Good morning, beloved,
Around me, the wind is blowing. The trees are dancing, the sky is dark. Wind reminds me of His Spirit, His power and His work. All point to Creator God. Our God.
As I wait for appointments, wait to have a plan, I realize that it is very easy for me to place my trust in what I know. I know the diagnosis. I know. Yet, what do I really know? I make plans..when we get this money, then we can pay of this and that. When we…when they..what I am doing, friends, is placing my trust and hope in what I can do. What a doctor could do. I make a plan for how our family should run…yet, my God who faithfully supplies all that we need, has given me blessing in the form of my husband who has God's blessing to guide this family. Me, me, me. Trust, trust, trust.
Today I was reading the Word and came across some beautiful passages that speak to the importance of trust. Trust in the plan He has. The structure He has in place. The timeline He has for us. The resources He has in store.
"For it is by free grace (God's unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law's demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.]" Ephesians 2:8-9AMP
Friends, I am striving! I am working. I am not accepting the free gift of God by this. Oh, Father, cleanse my heart, give me a desire to trust fully in You.
I found this prayer:
O Lord,
we ask for a boundless confidence
and trust in Your divine mercy,
and the courage to accept
the crosses and sufferings
which bring immense goodness
to our souls and that of Your Church.
Help us to love You
with a pure and contrite heart,
and to humble ourselves beneath Your cross,
as we climb the mountain of holiness,
carrying our cross that leads to heavenly glory.
May we receive You
with great faith and love in Holy Communion,
and allow You to act in us as You desire
for your greater glory.
O Jesus, most adorable Heart
and eternal fountain of Divine Love,
may our prayer find favor before
the Divine Majesty of Your heavenly Father. St. Pio of Pietrelcina
I love that image, as we climb the mountain of holiness. As we carry our cross, heavenly glory…behold the picture..our God made, He controls the heavens and the earth. Our God reigns!
My heart falls heavily for the people on the East Coast. My heart is heavy for our dear friends..the wife, my dear beloved friend, has been struggling desperately with liver cancer. She received more crushing news yesterday. So this is when faith must pour in. This is when prayers giving His Word back to Him become critical..
The God of Angel Armies is always by my side! My heart strengthens when I hear this song. Whom shall I fear? Whom will you fear? You know who goes before us!!
5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
31 But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.
10 Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.
The God of Angel Armies is always by your side. Pray on. Pray on.

India hopes to set new one-day tree planting record11/
Nairobi, 11 August 209 - On Wednesday August 12, villagers in the small city of Dungarpur in Southern India will attempt to plant 600,000 trees in one day, a feat which if they accomplish, could earn them a place in the Guinness Book of Records.Last July, volunteers from Pakistan set a twenty-four hour world record by planting 541,176 trees in twenty-four hours without using any mechanical equipment in the vast wetlands of the Indus River. Nevertheless, Dr.Arushi Malik an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) official coordinating the Indian tree-planting drive said, "We just want to plant. This is not about beating Pakistan's record. It's about creating livelihoods and providing the people of Dungarpur with food security."The volunteers will be planting Mango, Neem, Teak and Jatropha trees; all indigenous species that will eventually provide food, medicinal value and timber to the community. "The land in Dungarpur had become barren as a result of deforestation, and this led to water shortages and food scarcity. By planting trees, we will ensure this does not happen again. It will also help the fight against climate change," said Dr. Malik.Once planted, the trees will be 'adopted' by local villagers to ensure that they are watered and maintained. The after-care will be supervised by the Indian Forestry Service. The trees will also be registered under UNEP's Billion Tree Campaign, and will go a long way to helping it meet its target of 7 billion trees planted by December 2009."Volunteers will be given pledge forms to record their commitment to looking after the trees they planted. We hope that this sense of ownership will make them good stewards of the environment", added Dr. Malik."From the onset, the Billion Tree Campaign has engendered a lot of emulation between communities. In fact, people at the grassroots level often approach the campaign as a competition, and proudly visit UNEP with a sheet of paper listing the trees planted, said Meryem Amar, Coordinator of this global tree-planting initiative, which won the UN 21 award in 2008.

Wish I Could Buy Another Pair!
"I ordered these beauties online after buying a different flat by Cliffs at a DSW store. I loved that they were on sale, but hated it once I tried to buy another pair in my size. Speaking of, I ordered an 8 1/2 instead of my normal size 9 and they fit perfectly. I really wish I could get another pair of these to keep for when the other pair dies. Beautiful comfy flats are hard to find and it seems that once I find a pair, they either are no longer available in my size or they stop making them. Sad, but true. These are well worth the buy if they are still available in your size. Also, the color is a muted gold that goes well with everything."

Sure WISH they were true to size!
"I ordered my regular size - 8 medium - and can hardly keep them on my feet. Shoe gaps when I walk and heel slips up and down. The shoe is cute. Unfortunately even at sale price I think it is overpriced. If you want a stylish gold shoe and are lucky enough to get a good fit you might be content."

Cradle of Life As We Know It
Earth is the only place we know of in the universe that harbors life. Ours is the largest terrestrial planet in the solar system. Our rocky, volcanic world is coated in a thin veneer of liquid water, living things, and translucent atmosphere, whose complicated interactions make Earth's surface into a place of constant change. We humans have only had fifty years of perspective on Earth as a planet, of seeing it as a "pale blue dot" floating in the black vacuum of space.
With that perspective, we know precious and unique our planet is. We know, too, that we are having measurable effects on the complex interactions of ocean, land, life, water, and air, changing our climate. But predicting the future of our climate is hard. Understanding how Earth's systems work by studying the way they operate on other worlds is a major goal of planetary exploration. Mars, Venus, and Titan all have (or had) active geology, hydrology, and weather -- but, as far as we know, they don't have life. Is Earth really that unique? Are we truly alone in the universe? We won't know unless we keep searching.

Skip to comments.US Bishops: Ryan Budget Fails to Meet Basic Moral Test
Posted on 05/10/2012 11:59:02 AM PDT by marshmallow
A day after the House Budget Committee voted 21-9 to approve a budget plan proposed by Rep. Paul Ryan, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) renewed its criticism of the plan and urged members of the House of Representatives to put a circle of protection around three essential programs.
The entire House is scheduled to vote on Ryans Sequester Replacement Reconciliation Act on May 10.
I reiterate our strong opposition to an unfair proposal that would alter the Child Tax Credit to exclude children of hard-working, immigrant families, wrote Bishop Stephen Blaire of Stockton, chairman of the USCCBs Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development. Denying the credit to children of working poor immigrant families--the large majority of whom are American citizens--would hurt vulnerable kids, increase poverty, and would not advance the common good.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps), provides vital food security to families during tough economic times, Bishop Blaire added. It is estimated that cuts proposed in this bill would deny assistance to two million families, and cut the benefit for everyone else. No poor family that receives food assistance would be unaffected, constituting a direct threat to their human dignity.
(Excerpt) Read more at catholicculture.org ...
Guess I will have to dust off my copy of the Catechism and see where it talks about essential government programs...
Butt out Bishops!
Socialist/Communist government murdered more than 100 million of their own citizens in the past hundred years, but I guess the bishops don't consider that to be too high a number.
Maybe the Bishops should address how it is "moral" to use the coercive power of the state to extract wealth from one bunch of people in order to give it to another.
Robbing Peter to pay Paul, Bishop?
Charity is supposed to come from the heart, not armed government coercion.
Just some left wing lunatics who make me want to puke.
Pious b@#*^%^s who apparently think the high moral ground is to steal money from working people and hand it out to loafers, druggies, pimps and whores just to scrape up a few votes.
Ryan's plan must be a good one if the Catholic Bishops are holy-kincker knotted.
And Bishops....is it not the Churchs' duty to take care of the poor and widowed??? Step up and start acting like Christ wants you to. Care for the poor with the money that is tithed to you. Encourage your congregation to care for those less fortunate...but why put the burden on the government???
What's that? You would have enough left to build another cathedral? Tsk, tsk.
You are ignoring the difference between the freedom of religion established by the Constitution and the freedom of worship advocated by communists governments and the Obama administration.
Freedom of religion ensures that religious institutions can actively participate in the public discourse on a peer basis with any other secular organizations. We have a freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. The Catholic bishops have every bit as much right, representing the countries 64+ million Catholics, to advocate for policies and priorities in line with the Church's values as any political party, union, PAC or pact.
or something like that.
I am a Catholic, but the Bishops' desire for social justice is what brought us Obamacare. How is that one working out for you, bishops?
I am a bit of a loss to understand... Catholic bishops act all indignant at Obama's birth control/abortion pill mandate, then demand government provide MORE food stamps??? Isn't there something in the Holy Bible about serving two masters? You can't have it both ways bishops.
There would be fewer poor if the GOP and Democrats spent more time putting Americans to work instead of exporting their jobs to the rest of the world.
Forgive me friend, but I have see to many false flag operations. I expect a "compromise" in October letting parts of the Catholic church not follow the mandate, and a surge of Catholics supporting Obama.
I sure wish the bisops would supply us all with their backgrounds in economic training?
As Paul Ryan has already pointed out...he believes in his plan BECAUSE he cares about the poor.
Maybe the Bishops should ponder why these programs are in such sad straits. FRAUD.
The problem here, my friend, is that the economic policies and priorities favored by the USCCB are not necessaily those most in line with the Church's values, especially with respect to subsidiarity.
To say "we" must feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, etc. is morally right and correct--- if "we" means the charitable giver, the family, the parish, the Diocese, the community organization, Second Harvest, Food Bank, Soup Kitchen, the private philanthropy, Youth in Mission --- of which we have many in the USA.
But to say that "we" means "the State" is a distortion of genuine Catholic social teaching. Like the prophets of Israel and the Fathers of the Church, the papal and conciliar documents almost always refer to "society" having such-and-such obligations. "Society" is not a synonym for "the State." By "society" they mean "all of us acting justly and charitably," not "the State acting coercively."
The Pope needs to ex-communicate these communist Bishops who are actually "whores of the Devil"
The church along with the BISHOPS lose big time. These guys are supposed to have degrees of higher learning but they talk like naive children and wrong headed simps. Psssst guess what fellas...you keep aiding and abetting the socialist tax machines and there will be no money left with which to fund CATHOLIC CHARITIES..and you too fall under the socialist thumb. You will then have no power or money whatsoever to really help the poor!
(another thing if you SPEAK IN A MANNER THAT DISRESPECTS THE COMMON SENSE OF FREE MEN THEN YOU WILL NOT HAVE THEIR RESPECT OR SUPPORT....TAKE MY ADVICE AND START WALKIN THIS CRAP BACK ASAP!)
Aren't these the same guys crying about the gov. poking it's nose into religious affairs and practices?
On this we fully agree, but to contend that the bishops do not have a right to speak simply because someone does not like what they are saying is absurd.
The bishops' pastoral authority properly involves faith and morals. The "speaking" (or "issuing of statements") which does not strictly constitute doctrine, however, should come wih a disclaimer along these lines:
"As Bishops we teach authoritatively on matters of the moral doctrine of the Church: the things which involve sins of omission or commission. These policy recommendations involve a choice between competing goods. You can disagree with our prudential judgments without sinning. Our political opinions do not have canonical authority."
"Thank you for listening."
The 'Pubbies need to find out who the Bishops were and cut the tax exemption of their dioceses.
If only the bishops wouldn't squander their moral authority on such things as are really outside their experience and expertise. When they make such pronouncements as this they lessen the seriousness with which many will take their pronouncements about marriage and the sanctity of life, subjects about which the Bible and the history of Christendom are utterly clear, and something about which the bishops, as all Christians, must be very firm in these dark times. Instead we hear such drivel.
In his Wall Street Journal column last week, on Paul Ryans battle with critics of his budget plan on moral principles, Bill McGurn quotes Dorothy Day: We believe that Social Security legislation, now billed as a great victory for the poor and for the worker, is a great defeat for Christianity. It is an acceptance of the idea of force and compulsion.
Yup. That Dorothy Day.

Saracens coach Mark McCall admitted the red card shown to Jared Payne was key in their 17-15 win over Ulster at Ravenhill on Saturday.
Saracens coach Mark McCall admitted the red card issued to Jared Payne was critical in their 17-15 victory over Ulster at Ravenhill on Saturday.
Ulster's full-back was sent off in the fourth minute for taking out opposite number Alex Goode in the air, with Jérôme Garcès showing him red.
Despite having a numerical advantage, Saracens went in at the break 5-9 down to the hosts, who also lost Rory Best and Ruan Pienaar to injury.
But tries from wing Chris Ashton (2) and lock Mouritz Botha saw Saracens home and they will now face Clermont at Twickenham in the semis.
"Ulster deserve an enormous amount of credit after losing a man after five minutes and, not only from the effort they put in, but to also be as tactically astute and aware as they were was a great achievement and we're just lucky we got over the line at the end," McCall said afterwards.
"It definitely wasn't intentional (Payne's collision) but it was reckless. You could argue both ways, but it's a big call to make five minutes into the match and it changes the match.
"At times we played some good rugby and at times our physicality was outstanding, but we kept on showing unbelievable indiscipline.
"We gave away too many penalties and we kept them in the game and we kept the crowd in the game, and we were fortunate to get away with the win."

Most of you know I created a new Football Social Network - MyGridIronSpace.com, a few of you have signed up on the site and I thank you for it. what I'm asking for today is not for you to create a profile over there to show your support (although that would be cool). All I need you guys to do is help spread the word...

For a wonder-fluffy friend your little one will never want to part with, create this pom-pom version of Ming-Ming.
Find the Wonder Pets! on Nick Jr.
From the card stock, cut four donut circles with holes in the center. (They should look like donuts.) Make two of them to about 3.5 inches in diameter. Make the other two about 2 inches in diameter. In the center of all circles, cut out a hole. You�ll have what looks like four donuts.
Stack the two large circles, aligning their center holes. Cut several long pieces of yarn and fleece in equal lengths. Starting in the center hole, wrap the yarn and fleece over the outer ring of the donut and then back through the ring again. Repeat this until you've gone all the way around the ring and your cardboard donut is completely covered. When your yarn and fleece run out, just add in another length. You don't need to knot it. Just continue. You can trim the pom-pom to look neat when you are finished.
Snip a 6-inch piece of yarn. Set aside. Slip the tip of your scissors in through the outer edge of the donut and begin to snip around the circumference. Be sure to hold the donuts together firmly so you don't lose any of yarn. Pass the snipped length of yarn in between the two donut pieces, wrapping it around the "hole." Pull tightly and then tie in a double knot. Remove both donut pieces. You will have a tail of yarn left over. Do not snip it. You need it for sewing.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 with the two smaller donut pieces.
Cut one of the donut pieces in half. Then stack the two half-circles. Repeat as for the pom-poms. This will make elongated "pompoms" that you can use for wings. Don't worry if they look "bulky" or awkward in shape. You will trim them down after you have stitched the wings to the body.
Using the tail of yarn left from tying the large pom-pom, stitch the large pom-pom to the small one. Then stitch one wing to each side of the large pom-pom.
With your scissors, trim the small pom-pom to narrow the forehead and exaggerate the cheeks shape. On the large pom-pom, trim away the area around the neck. On the wings, snip as much as you can to create an elongated shape with tips at the end.
Print and cut out the templates for the facial features, hat, goggles, cape, and feet. Trace them onto the felt pieces and cut them out. For the legs, cut out two rectangles. Roll them into tubes and glue them to create legs. For the beak, stack one piece on top of the other and glue at the top only so that Ming-Ming's beak can open. For the hat, cut a slit as indicated on the template. Fold the felt over itself to create a slight "cone" shape and glue. Cut out and add the hat flaps and goggles. Cut out the cape, wrap it around Ming-Ming's neck, and glue the ends together. Glue on the hat, then the goggle. Glue on the beak and eyes. Glue one foot to each leg and then glue the legs to the body in a sitting position.
To shape Ming-Ming, fluff the pompoms and adjust the felt pieces as needed.

I'm building a house in Wisconsin and my plumber has switched to using Wirsbo plastic tubing for the cold and hot water supply lines on the first floor but suggest using copper for the 2nd floor plumbing due to the chance of failure and having access and obvious damage. I understand the issues of not wanting to use it on the 2nd floor but was looking for a 2nd opinion.
On additional item, I'm using a wood fired hotwater system to heat the house and produce hot water. I need to find a tank that has coils so that I can run the hot water from the furnace thru and produce 'hot water'. How big of a tank do you recommend for 5 people and a hot tub or would you suggest a small gas fired system and a smaller 2nd tank.
thanks much...

There are a couple of changes to the restoration procedure on that Wiki page when it comes to Alfresco 4. This is mostly down to the fact that it uses the Postgresql database platform.

Toby Keith
Keith was born Toby Keith Covel in Clinton, Oklahoma, in 1961 and grew up mostly on a farm in Moore, near the outskirts of Oklahoma City. He took up guitar at age eight, inspired by the country musicians who played at the supper club his grandmother ran. He listened to his father's Bob Wills records and fell in love with Haggard's music. He worked as a rodeo hand while in high school, and after graduation, he found work in the nearby oil fields. In the meantime, he formed the Easy Money Band and played Alabama-style country-rock in area honky tonks. After about three years, the oil industry hit a major downturn, and Keith turned to playing semi-pro football for a USFL farm team, even trying out (unsuccessfully) for the short-lived league's Oklahoma City franchise. Following two years as a football player, Keith decided to focus on music and adopted a much more rigorous touring schedule. He cut a few records for local indie labels, and his demo tape eventually found its way to one-time Alabama producer Harold Shedd, who helped Keith land a deal with Mercury.
Keith's self-titled debut album was released in 1993 and made him an out-of-the-box success with its chart-topping single "Should've Been a Cowboy." Three more songs from the record -- "Wish I Didn't Know Now," "A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action," and "He Ain't Worth Missing" -- made the Top Five, and the album sold over two million copies. "Who's That Man," the lead single from his second album, Boomtown, was released in late 1994 and became his second number one; Boomtown hit stores in early 1995 and went gold on the strength of further Top Ten hits "Upstairs Downtown" and "You Ain't Much Fun." Keith followed it later that year with the holiday record Christmas to Christmas and returned with the proper album Blue Moon in 1996. Its first two singles, "A Woman's Touch" and "Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine on You," went Top Ten, and the third, "Me Too," gave Keith his third number one, also helping the album go platinum. Released in 1997, Dream Walkin' marked his first collaboration with prolific producer James Stroud, with whom he would work regularly from then on. "We Were in Love" and the title track were both Top Five hits, as was "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying," a duet with Sting. However, Keith longed for an even bigger breakthrough, and he was growing dissatisfied with Mercury's promotional efforts. In 1999, he left the label and followed Stroud over to the Nashville division of DreamWorks.
Keith's label debut, How Do You Like Me Now?!, appeared in late 1999 and started to bring him the wider recognition he felt poised for. The title cut went to number one on the country charts and brought him his first Top 40 pop hit; its follow-up, "Country Comes to Town," went Top Five, and "You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This" also hit number one. Overall, the album had a rough, brash attitude that helped give Keith a stronger identity as a performer. It was also the first to bring him those long-desired major industry awards, when in 2001 the Academy of Country Music named him Male Vocalist of the Year and named How Do You Like Me Now?! its Album of the Year. In the meantime, Keith became more visible in the mainstream media, appearing in cameos on Touched by an Angel and in a Dukes of Hazzard TV reunion movie, as well as co-starring in a series of telephone commercials. Later in 2001, his follow-up album, Pull My Chain, became his first to top the country charts and also his first Top Ten pop album. It spun off three number one singles: "I'm Just Talkin' About Tonight," "I Wanna Talk About Me," and "My List."
Keith was already a burgeoning superstar when he recorded "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)" in the summer of 2002. A raging response to the September 11 terrorist attacks, the song struck a fierce chord with aggressively patriotic listeners, while others condemned it as knee-jerk jingoism. The whole controversy came to a head when ABC News anchor Peter Jennings objected to Keith's scheduled performance on a network Fourth of July schedule. Keith was axed from the guest list, and the ensuing media flap proved to be a publicity coup. Meanwhile, the song went to number one on the country charts and crossed over into the pop Top 25. All of this set the stage for Unleashed, which sold like hotcakes upon its release later in 2002, debuting at number one on both the country and pop charts. "Who's Your Daddy?" was a number one country hit, and the Willie Nelson duet "Beer for My Horses" also made the country Top Ten.
In 2003, Keith released Shock'n Y'All, which, despite its title, was chock-full of enough rough-and-rowdy hits to once again connect hugely with heartland America. Honkytonk University followed in May 2005, the same year that Mercury released Chronicles, a collection of three of his biggest albums: Toby Keith, Boomtown, and Blue Moon.
After departing from Universal and longtime producer Stroud, Keith established his own company, Show Dog Nashville, and in 2006 released the label's first record, the number two hit White Trash with Money. A year later he released Big Dog Daddy, the first album he produced himself, and also a holiday album, A Classic Christmas. Keith continued his steady pace over the next few years, releasing That Don't Make Me a Bad Guy in 2008, American Ride in 2009, and Bullets in the Gun in 2010.
Clancy's Tavern, which appeared in 2011, was inspired by his grandmother's club, which he visited frequently as a child. Keith was also selected Artist of the Decade at the American Country Awards in December of 2011. Clancy's Tavern gave Keith a pair of hits in "Made in America" and "Red Solo Cup" -- the former topped Billboard's country charts; the latter reached the Billboard Top 40. In the fall of 2012 he returned with another new album, Hope on the Rocks, which was preceded by the single "I Like Girls That Drink Beer." Neither "I Like Girls That Drink Beer" nor the album's second single "Hope on the Rocks" went further than 17 on the charts, and Keith soon returned with his 17th album, Drinks After Work. Released almost a year to the day after Hope on the Rocks, Drinks After Work appeared in late October 2013; it was preceded by the single release of its title track, which peaked at number 28 on the country charts. The follow-up, "Shut Up and Hold On," made it to number 49. Keith released "Drunk Americans," the first single from his forthcoming album, in October 2014 but it took another full year before 35 MPH Town materialized, preceded by the title track as a single in the spring of 2015. ~ Steve Huey

When did one-man come back in style? Never. Once you chat with Keith's musicians? You can let Little Miss Independent in on that tid-bit. But until then…? (Try to get them out of their blah, blah, I'm just a musician shells to a Keith musician mini-bio include at Keith's bio. He's way too cool for one of those drum-kits with the harmonica attached and a washboard set front and center, although I have a wagon wheel he can borrow :)
If it's true some things get better with age? Then Keith's 35 MPH Town aterialized is just another voicing of some's resist, with respect of course, to front porch swingers whom have nothing better to do than Jackie Gleason their neighbors.

Ex-Navy SEAL John Clark is the newly named head of Rainbow, an international task force dedicated to combating terrorism. In a trial by fire, he must stop a terrorist group of men and women so extreme that their success could literally mean the end of life on earth as we know it.
©1999 Tom Clancy (P)2010 Random House
"Gripping... bolt-action mayhem." (People)
"Mr. Clancy is in his element…. When the door blows open and the shooting starts, nobody does it better." (The Dallas Morning News)
"Rainbow Six review"
I listened to Without Remorse first which introduced me to John Clark in his early career. I bought Rainbow Six with a lot of hesitation because of the negative review about he narrator.
I have completely enjoyed the book and the narrator. I highly recommend the book and the narrator.
I have bought over 200 books from Audible and this book was really enjoyable. Buy it if you want a nice long listen that is loads of fun.
"great story"
multiple stories within one plot
the end exactly what I would do
no.he was hard to listen to at first but appropriate for the book.
good luck with that
some couldn't stand the narrator's voice. but it grows on you and yes is appropriate for the story.
I am a Company Rep in Central Qld. I travel around 60,000klms a year and rely on my Audiobooks to keep me company on my Country Trips!
"A Marathon Read!"
For those of us who follow the works of Tom Clancy, there would be little surprise in the sheer length of this Book!
I have read criticism of Michael Pritchard's reading style from other Reviewers and after such a long reading I must also say that his voice is probably less suited to such long readings.
At times, I did feel that the detail that Clancy goes into, became just a little tedious!
Normally, I enjoy his expanded descriptions but I think Pritchard's somewhat gravelly voice did get to me on a couple of my longer Drives/Listens.
Overall though, I enjoyed the Book and would therefore recommend it! One thing you can always say about Clancy's Novels is that you get your money's worth!
"Good book, terrible narration."
This was a good book and worth reading. However, the narrator was not very easy to listen to, and the audio engineer should be fired. The audio quailty was inconsistent, and it was more often bad than good. How audible has not replaced this copy of the book with one from a better narrator is unfathomable. This book had been around for a long time, sold a ton of copies. spawned a ton of video games by the same name, and came from a very highly respect author. I'm genuinely disappointed in Audible after listening to this book.
I love espionage, legal, and detective thrillers but listen to most genres. Very frequent reviews. No plot spoilers! Please excuse my typos!
"The second John Clark espionage thriller!"
First there was Navy SEAL John Kelly and then outlaw John Kelly. Kelly then becomes CIA super agent John Clark who heads the international anti-terrorism team code named Rainbow. In Rainbow Six Clark leads Rainbow in an effort that literally saves human life on earth. Clancy wrote several great thrillers; this is one of them. Originally published in 1998.
I absolutely love my audible account, makes its from enjoying a book to loving the stories found in the books. Do forgive my errors in the reviews i do have dyslexia but i will share my love with everyone
"A book that inspired the video game series"
This is his first book Clancy wrote that does not have Jack Ryan even mentioned by name. if you fallow the series you know who he is, but if you don't and just want to start here, well there is a few hints that lets the rest of us know.
Knowing how scary but effective Clark and Chavez are then a whole book dedicated to this amazing team would make things even better.
Clark puts together a team of some of the greatest military units. they are training for two teams of counter terrorism. the cold war is over and there are not many terrorists active anymore but its always better to be safe then sorry.
A former KGB agent is hired to go to his old contacts and stir things up, unknown to him there is a new anti terrorist unit in town.
Some of the things that are different in this Clancy novel compared to most of his others is that its more even a read all the way through and not a snowball effect.
If you never have read a Clancy novel before this is a great one to start with, it has the excitement and adventure and is a great bait to the lure.
An unashamed Audiophile who has his own studio and business called iZENEARS which brings Australian travel and history to life for locals and visitor's alike.
"Tom Clancy (Top Cat)"
Adictive and a delight to move outside of the Ryan tales. For anyone into Clancy make sure you 'do' the Ryan tales before you get this one....then get this one!
"Long but nice"
This is an ok story. It is quite long and it takes some resilience to finish the story but at the end you care about the characters. It took me a while to eventually get through the entire book because there is a lot of explanations regarding surroundings which is a bit excessive. The narrator as well took some getting used to for me. Might be ok for someone else.
"One of my favorites from Clancy"
Worth every penny! I'm a huge Clancy fan and this was one of my favorites
"good story disappointing narrator"
Intriguing story but the narrator was not the best. Not much difference in character voices made it hard to figure out who was talking. Aside from the narrator I did enjoy the story.
Just as a side note Audible needs to have two separate ratings for the story and the narrator. I would've given the following in that case.
Story 5 stars once I get past the voices I enjoyed the ride.
Narrator 3 stars not bad just not as entertaining as some of the others I've heard.
"Good story, poor narration"
I got this book when it came out in about 1999.
The world has moved on since it first came out and the terrorist threat has moved on a good deal from the books cold war roots, but as a plot line it does remain valid.
It is still a good story, especially if you like Clancy's other Ryanverse works.
It well paced and Clancy develops the main characters nicely. As always, Clancy's attention to the accuracy of technical details is reassuring.
What ruin's it though is the reader - Michael Pritchard. Pritchard narrates as though he is reading the instructions for a microwave.
He over enunciate's everything, one character's 'voice' is essentially the same as every other character, and his attempts at doing accents, with the exception of English ones, is nearly non-existent.
Pritchard's reading of this book spoiled it for me, and i won't be going near anything else he narrates.
"great story - terribly read"
Good Tom Clancy Story, but the reader sounds a bit pompous just doing his own American accent, and more awful doing British and Australian. It is very obvious that it has been edited together from different sessions - the tone, quality and rythmn of the reading changing abruptly is quite jarring.
I got another Tom Clancy read by Lou Diamond-Phillips which was much better.
"Was a great story in it's day but.."
I loved this book when it first came out. I would have ranked it in my top 10 of all time if you'd have asked. Listening to the audiobook all this time later, I found the story dated and the audiobook quality variable. First the story; Clancy spends quite a bit of time on technology that's just not special any more, so the impact of it's use has been lost over time. The Zeitgeist has also moved on massively 'terrorists just don't blow themselves up' so the context of the story has also moved on. I have enjoyed lots of other 'of their time' books, like Le Carrier, but it seems a bit more telling in this one.
Overall, somewhat disappointing, but if you can get past the above, Clancy does write a great story.
Another excellent Tom Clancy thriller... I've listened to this book twice and I'm sure I'll listen to it again in the future.
First Class and highly recommended!!
"Rainbow Six Needs to be Read"
Superb narration, gripping story line, believable in every way. A true pleasure to just lay back and listen and relax. Not at any point was I happy to turn off and just do something else.
The way the narrator took me by the scruff of the neck and dragged me into the world of terrorism, special forces. Its another amazing story by Tom Clancy with all the usual Characters playing their parts to perfection.
Yes, I have listened to the other Tom Clancy novels and he just's gets better with each telling. I look forward to many more renditions from Mr Pritchard in the future.
Having already read this book several years ago, No, I neither had that time available or particularly wanted to !! If this had been my first then, yes I would probably have liked to done it in one sitting. It would be ideal for someone recovering from sickness or was in hospital.
"Lifeless Narration"
I know this is a really good book but it's impossible to get into as the narration is terrible. A droll monotone just sucks the life out of the story. Tried to get along with it had to give up which is a shame. Will be avoiding anything with this narrator in future (which took a couple of other titles out of my wish list).
This book may be great but the naraitor bored the life out of me!! I had two choices, to knock it off or hang myself!!
"Poor narration"
This is over long and has it's share of silly Gung-ho language but for me
it's the stilted and wooden narration that spoils the whole thing .

Barbancourt 8 Yr Old Haitian Rhum
Review: Barbancourt 8 Yr Old Haitian Rhum (84.5/100)
a review by Chp Dykstra (AkA Arctic Wolf)
Posted February 19, 2010
Rhum Barbancourt is distilled and produced by Societe du Rhum Barbancourt, in Port Au Prince on the Isle of Haiti. As I write this review the country of Haiti is still reeling from the effects of the earthquake which struck the country on January 12, 2010. My thoughts and prayers are to the people of Haiti and I fervently hope that the current level of aid and help arriving at the island continues and the natural disaster does not turn into a cascading series of human failures. If you want to help Haiti please check this link for further information.
Howling Highlight: Let's Help Haiti
Now if you have been paying attention you will notice that I have called The spirit a rhum rather than a rum. That is because the Barbancourt 8 Yr Old Haitian Rhum is produced in the 'french' Caribbean tradition. French Rhum Agricoles are produced from sugar cane juice rather than from molasses. This is the very first rhum I have encountered and so I am very eager to get started.
In the Bottle 4/5
The Haitian Rhum Barbancourt is presented in a tall brown flagon style bottle with a professional label and pressed on metal cap. The presentation is neither inspiring nor displeasing.
In the Glass 8.5/10
I was instantly surprised when I poured the rhum into my glencairn glass. The spirit is the colour of pale straw, slightly brown and slightly yellow. It looks more like a young whisky, than an aged rum. The nose, however, is very much like rum, with mild brown sugar aromas mixed with butterscotch. If I let the glass sit, I sense banana as well as a faint anise quality with maybe a hint of orange peel. All of this is very mild with even the oak aromas needing to be coaxed out into the open. I do seem to smell something very vaguely medicinal which may be part of that anise and orange peel I noted earlier.
When I swirled my glass I was happy to see nice long skinny legs forming on the sides of the glass.
In the Mouth 50/60
Upon my tongue the rum feels mildly soft and buttery. In fact I believe I can taste butter alongside the light brown sugar. For spices there is only light hints of cinnamon and oak tannin which begins to taste like anise and orange peel as I let it sit in my mouth. The spiciness is very mild. As I let the spirit rest in the glass and then taste againseveral times I decided that it was a quality of butterscotch which always seemed to rise above the other flavours to dominate the palate. Bananas and a very mild nutty flavour weave in and out as well.
I find the flavour very inviting, but I must admit that my temptation to mix the Barbancourt 8 Yr Old Haitian Rhum into a cocktail is very strong. The subtleties of the various flavours will mix very well.
In My Throat 13/15
It is in the throat that I started to notice the medicinal quality which perhaps I overlooked in the other areas of the review. The rhum is a little harsher in the finish than I was expecting based upon the mild flavours I encountered. It is a long finish which turns slightly dry. Again this dryness bodes very well for mixing cocktails.
The Afterburn 9/10
The Barbancourt 8 Yr Old Haitian Rhum is very mild and very delicious. Sipping he rhum neat is enjoyable, but when mixing, it becomes outstanding. The first rhum and coke I poured for myself knocked my senses for a loop it was so good. As well, I tried the spirit in various fruity cocktails and was never disappointed.
If you are interested in comparing more scores, here is a link to my other published Rum Reviews.
Suggested Cocktail
As stated earlier, The Barbancourt 8 Yr Old Haitian Rhum makes an outstanding rhum and Coke! I have no problem recommending any Cuba Libre style of bar drink for the rhum. However, as I have a tendency to do, I could not resist building something brand new.
Haitian Joie
A cocktail by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
1 1/2 oz rhum barbancout
1 1/2 oz grapefruit juice
1/2 oz pineapple Juice
1/2 oz Orange Juice
1/2 oz Peach schnapps
1/2 oz Grenadine
Shake of over ice and pour into a glass of your choice
Garnish with flamed orange zest and an orange slice
In case you are wondering about the name; Joie is french for delight. Therefore the name is Haitian Delight.
My Final Score is out of 100 and you may (loosely) interpret the score as follows:
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

This is a great review. I'd only follow by saying you should use the Barbancourt 3-star for your Cuba Libres. It's almost as good and cheaper. The best Barbancourt 5-star cocktail involves 2 shots + the juice of several key limes (hand-squeezed of course), some ice, and maybe a half teaspoon of sugar. That's all you need on a hot day I say! Cheers.
P.S. Get your hands on a bottle of the Bcourt 12 year (look for the most colorful box in your high-end spirits store). Then get back to me.
May 16, 2011 at 8:08 am
You must try Barbancourt White and the 15yr for posterity…in a mojito, the former's spiciness is unique.
August 9, 2010 at 9:05 pm
I have an equal number of bottles of RB 8 and RB 15 and was thinking of mixing them to see what happens. Any thoughts?
July 22, 2010 at 8:10 pm
Forty years ago the expats at the Grand Hotel
Olaffson would order a drink they secretly
(there was no other way) called a "Papa Doc."
Essentially a Cuba Libre, but with Barbancourt
and Dr. Pepper. You may laugh, but try it; the
sympathetic fruitiness in both make a fun
June 4, 2010 at 10:52 pm
Barbancourt 8 yr. is a very pleasant change from my
usual dark and gold rums.
The nose is missing, the palate/taste refreshing
and the finish – lasting rum uniqueness. Very good
as Fresca highball.
May 13, 2010 at 7:36 am
Hello again. I'm pleased you finally got around to one of the very finest rums in the world, and available here for a mere $19.
Barbancourt is assuredly a cane juice rum that as Dave Broom put it "They don't only produce rum; they make rum with a finesse that is almost unsurpassed in the world."
Barbancourt is rarely entered into the commercial competitions and really doesn't need to. If you click on my name (above) you'll find a number of reviews of this incredible cane juice rum at The Project.
As far as mixed drinks go, Five Star is a bit too refined for them we'd say. The Three Star – much more reedy/caney – better represents the cane juice aspect which would be best represented in a Ti Punch.
Which should be the mixed drink of choice.
May 11, 2010 at 11:54 pm
Very glad to read the same rum I had just picked up by reccomendation will not dissapoint! I was fearing I wasted my money (it always so easy to judge by the bottle/label and someone elses opinion). I'm particular thrilled that this is a sugar cane rum made in the French style, because I had read about the Rhum Agricoles of Martinique (through Savuer magizine), but have never wanted wanted to pay so much for something I had never tried. So thanks for the reassurance by a great review!
I am surprised to see you have not ventured futher into Barbancourt's older offerings, or into the world of Rhum Agricole. Since you seemed to like the Barbacourt so much, it must be calling your name.

A favorite
"My daughter LOVED these shoes (she's 10) and all about neon - these were one of her favorites this spring....so much that she asked for another pair because between April and August she's already outgrown them! They do fit narrow and short - so it's best to size up. I haven't personally tried these on - but she's had 2 pairs (different colors) and I plan to buy her 2 more at her request - she's very picky when it comes to comfortable shoes - so I know that they must be comfy and easy on the feet! The colors match just about all her neon orange, yellow/lime and blue outfits."

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Aquatics Biologist Kenny Breidinger reported to the Emery County Public Lands Council on the San Rafael River Restoration project. This project has been ongoing for the past two years and progress is being made. Nine native fish species have been identified in the drainage and one is a tier one sensitive species. "We are attempting to restore the San Rafael River to a more natural and functioning eco system for the benefit of all," said Breidinger. One of the worries associated with the project is the listing of the round tail chub. There is a good probability it could be petitioned for listing. This restoration project will help with the fish habitat so hopefully the chub will not be listed. There are problems associated with the listing of sensitive species and the DWR is working hard to avoid any listings.
The invasion of the tamarisk has led to steep high banks and channel incision. Another problem along the drainage is the Hatt diversion which is 16 feet high; creating barriers and isolated fish populations. The Hatts have been long time owners at the Hatt Ranch and have been on the property a long time. They were useful in giving the DWR information on how the San Rafael River has changed over time.
A committee was formed, consisting of representatives of land and water users and managers, to address these issues. The committee consists of representatives from the Division of Wildlife Resources, Bureau of Land Management, Utah State University, Emery County Water Conservancy District, Emery County Mosquito and Weed Abatement, Utah Association of Conservation Districts, PacifiCorp Energy, the Tamarisk Coalition, Emery County and the Natural Resource Conservation Service.
The DWR has been working in partnership with the Natural Resources Conservation Service and Utah Partners for Conservation Development. The first steps toward restoration of the San Rafael River watershed began with the tamarisk removal along 122 acres of stream bank.
Breidinger said the fish are good in the upper part of the San Rafael River and they are working to reestablish connectivity throughout the entire river system by removing or modifying structures which limit fish passage. Breidinger said the Hatt diversion presents a problem and they aren't sure yet what approach they are going to take there yet. They will work to remove non native fish within the river and prevent further invasion of nonnative species. A PIT tag reader has been installed at the Chaffin Ranch to determine fish movements and use of the San Rafael River.
On the tamarisk removal of 1,050 acres so far 322 acres have been completed. They will also work to reseed the areas where tamarisk has been removed with a native seed mix including willows and cottonwoods in the riparian areas. Beetles will also be released on any resprouts in the area. The DWR has hired a graduate student who is recording the history of changes along the San Rafael River and will also record the effectiveness of restoration efforts. Funding was secured to perform geological data gathering. Bat housing structures are currently being designated for installation on the new and old Highway 24 bridge. The restoration project will remove 60 miles of tamarisk along the drainage and improve efficiency. It isn't known what affect this tamarisk removal will have on the water supply. It's hoped enough water will be saved so it can be put to beneficial use.
The ecosystem as it exists today along the San Rafael isn't functioning properly and the goal of the project is to make it a more functioning system. The goal is for long term improvements and benefits to the area. Some of the native vegetation is still present and with the tamarisk removal it is hoped the native vegetation can reestablish.
The San Rafael has been listed as one of the most degraded water systems in Utah. Seasonal dewatering, massive bank erosion and sedimentation have resulted in severe damage to the river and associated riparian habitat. Without restorative action, the river system would be lost.
A leading culprit, responsible for river degradation, is the tamarisk or salt cedar. Rehabilitation efforts will target this invader. A generation ago, the tamarisk was introduced from Eurasia, because of its value in controlling erosion. Unfortunately, the natural controls that kept the species within limits in Eurasia are absent here. Lacking nature's biological restraints, the salt cedar has run rampant in the western United States.
Rehabilitation work of the San Rafael River bottomland is now occurring about five miles south of I-70 on the Hatt Ranch. Using track excavators with rotary grapples, equipment operators are plucking tamarisk from the ground and stacking the slash for burning. This year, the plan is to remove salt cedar from 122 acres of stream bank.
Several characteristics of this tree/shrub species combine to make this plant so destructive. The tamarisk excretes salt, poisoning the surrounding soil and preventing the growth of other species. Its growth habit is a thick jungle-like tangle, which excludes sunlight, and further prevents the establishment of other plants. The fire hazard produced by its woody mass and its enormous consumption of water combine to make this species one of the least desirable of all nuisance plant species.
Elimination of tamarisk and restoration of native streamside vegetation will result in benefits to sensitive fish species, birds and terrestrial wildlife. Native plant species, such as willow and cottonwood, will have the opportunity to return to their former habitat. The waterway itself is expected to heal with improvements in water quantity and quality.
This project is part of a larger restoration effort to address all of the impacts to the San Rafael drainage.

Staten Island, NY, October 14, 2012 – "When people with diabetes receive high quality care, they are less likely to suffer the severe complications of the disease: amputation, blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, and stroke," said Matthew G. Weeks, M.D., medical director, Ambulatory Services at Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH). Providing SIUH patients with this level of care has earned national recognition for David Brandt, MD; Mario Castellanos, MD; Garbis Dabaghian, MD; Eugene Holuka, MD; Vladimir Kozahinskiy, MD and Jeffrey Sosinsky, MD. The award was announced in May by National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and the American Diabetes Associations (ADA).
To be eligible, the doctors first had to submit documentation outlining levels of clinical performance in key areas including eye exams, blood pressure control, nutrition counseling and patient satisfaction.
Those acknowledged received three-year recognition from the NCQA Diabetes Recognition Program, a partnership of the ADA and the NCQA. The program incentivizes quality improvement in the clinical care of diabetes as well as documentation.
"Physicians who earn recognition from the program have established a track record of providing excellent diabetes care," explained Dr. Weeks. The disease affects the body's ability to produce or respond properly to insulin needed for blood sugar to enter the cells of the body and be used for energy. An estimated 16 million Americans suffer from diabetes. The disease has no cure and is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. "This makes managing the disease all the more crucial for diabetes patients," explained Dr. Weeks.
NCQA is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality. NCQA accredits and certifies a wide-range of health care organizations. It also recognizes clinicians and practices in key areas of performance. NCQA's Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) is the most widely used performance measurement tool in health care.
The American Diabetes Association is the nation's leading voluntary health organization supporting diabetes research, information and advocacy.

text: Andy Warhola was born on 28 September 1930 in Forest City, Pennsylvania. He graduated from the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh, in1948, and moved to New York soon afterwards. There he began using his preferred name, Andy Warhol, and worked as a commercial artist. After abandoning a successful career as a commercial artist and illustrator in 1960, Warhol began to make paintings based on the imagery of labels from commercial products. By 1962 he had suppressed painterly handling but continued to execute advertising images by hand in imitation of impersonal mass production. Shortly afterwards he turned to silk-screening photographs. He showed his Campbell soup can paintings at the Ferus Gallery, Los Angeles, in 1962, and was also included in 'The New Realists' exhibition at the Sidney Janis Gallery, New York. Also in 1962, in his first New York show at the Stable Gallery, he exhibited his Campbell soup cans and Coke bottles, and images of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley. The exhibition created a scandal. Warhol began making films in 1963. By 1964 he was exhibiting his work abroad - in an exhibition at Galerie Ileana Sonnabend, Paris, and in various shows of Pop art which toured Europe in the early 1960s. In 1968 the Moderna Museet, Stockholm staged a retrospective exhibition of his work. A number of museum exhibitions followed, notably at the Pasadena Museum of Art in 1970 which toured American and European cities, followed in 1976 by a retrospective organised by the Württembergischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart, which toured other European centres. Warhol died in New York on 22 February 1987.

ELMO-Jimmy Hoskins, age 73, passed away peacefully at Parkdale Care Center on Aug. 1 after a courageous battle with cancer, with his special friend Lisa by his side.
He was born in Oklahoma and loved the country setting he grew up in. His trades varied from driving tanks in the Army, hand crafting log homes, operating cranes and driving a moving semi tractor while helping people move their personal belongings with care.
Jimmy felt right at home when he moved to Beehive Homes in Elmo. He joked that he had moved back "to the sticks". It was there that Jimmy found great friends and the family that he had been searching for.
He was a quiet man by nature but was known for his huge heart. He could often be seen enjoying a quiet afternoon out on the porch with a cool beer and his Tops tobacco.
A memorial in his honor will be held at a date to be determined. His final care is entrusted to Heritage Funeral Home, Huntington Utah.
A special thank you to everyone at Rocky Mt. Hospice for all their support and tender care. We would like to also thank Beehive Homes and Parkdale for all their special care for Jimmy.
