How can you not dig this story? Told in the traditional Chinese way, with long takes, expansive long shots, pokey storytelling, and an attention to establishing mood, The Wooden Man's Bride is right at home among contemporaries like Farewell My Concubine. Unfortunately though, Bride is clearly the product of a much lower budget, as it's saddled by some iffy production values: Characters are hard to tell apart because their faces are often in shadow, the sound doesn't sync to the action (breaking bowls, explosions, and the like) by up to a second. The kung fu-style humor this creates is uninentional and out of place. Followinng the oddities of Chinese marriage rituals is interesting, but equally inexplicable (what's with the chicken?).

Responsible Rescues
Adopting a new pet can be an overwhelming experience. As a potential new pet guardian, it is important to know that you are adopting an animal from an organization who can provide you with the necessary support and information to ensure you have made the right decision, that you are fully informed of the needs of your new family member and provided with support should future issues arise.
In addition to your local BCSPCA and municipal shelter, there are numerous community based rescue organizations that can help you find the perfect pet.
No Puppy Mills Canada provides a valuable resource that identifies criteria to look for when choosing to adopt from a rescue. Below is a list of organizations who meet this criteria.
Please note, this list is meant only to act as a starting point in identifying a rescue. In addition to meeting the criteria set out in No Puppy Mills Canada, these organizations have been recommended by partner organizations. However, Paws for Hope Animal Foundation does not take responsibility for polices and procedures of individual organizations and we strongly encourage you to do additional research.

Millions of workers will be guaranteed an extra eight days paid holiday a year under a peace deal hammered out between the Labour leadership and the trade unions.
Millions of workers will be guaranteed an extra eight days paid holiday a year under a peace deal hammered out between the Labour leadership and the trade unions.
After negotiations lasting until 3am yesterday, unions leaders hailed a wide-ranging package of employment rights as a significant breakthrough after a period of difficult relations with the Government. The deal will also ensure that unions bankroll Labour's general election campaign. Labour officials were seriously concerned about the party's finances following the decision by the GMB general union to withhold £750,000 from the election fighting fund.
Ministers promised to extend workplace rights in return for union support in heading off a revolt by grassroots Labour members at a key policy meeting which ended yesterday. Hostile motions about the Government's education and health policies were heavily defeated at the national policy forum at Warwick University, which means Tony Blair could have a relatively smooth ride at Labour's annual conference in September.
The concessions include ending the practice under which employers can count bank holidays towards the minimum holiday entitlement of 20 days a year.
The Government agreed to drop its opposition to a European Union directive which seeks to ensure that agency and temporary workers enjoy similar rights as permanent employees. It accepted for the first time that workers who are transferred en masse to new employers would have their pension rights protected.
There was no commitment to union demands that companies should be forced to contribute to workers' pension funds. But ministers agreed to consider compulsion following the completion of a government inquiry into the issue. The Government also signalled support for moving towards a minimum 50 per cent employee representation on the boards of pension trustees and pensions becoming a collective bargaining issue under union recognition legislation.
When public bodies purchase goods and services from the private sector, they will be urged by the Government to take into account the impact of their decisions on British companies and their employees. Ministers said they would also "move towards'' a situation whereby British industry received the same degree of support as in Germany and France.
Labour sources said that the agreement was a "balanced package" based on fairness, but the deal could worry bosses. On the eve of the meeting, the CBI urged Labour not to abandon its good relationship with business by making concessions to the unions.
However, there was no agreement on union demands for the Government to re-nationalise the railways, and this could be put to a tricky vote at the September conference. There will also be demands for local authorities to play a bigger role in the provision of housing.Reuse content

Frustrated over Marcos burial at Libingan ng mga Bayani, former Senator Rene Saguisag urge all government employees who are alleged Martial law Victims to resign from their posts.
Speaking before a crowd of anti-Marcos groups and activists at the University of the Philippines College of Law, Saguisag said Cabinet officials – especially those who had been active in the anti-dictatorship struggle – should not take the matter sitting down.
"Like in the case of Supreme Court spokesman Theodore Te – instead of saying that the decision is final and that Marcos can be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, it would be good to hear, from where I stand, that he is resigning," Saguisag, a human rights victim, said.
"My advice goes to other members of the government, especially those who were with us in the struggle, that they may consider resigning from their posts," he added.
Social Welfare Secretary Judy Taguiwalo said on Friday she was against the burial but would rather keep quiet in deference to President Duterte.
Another prominent leftist in the Cabinet is Rafael Mariano of the Department of Agrarian Reform.
"We cannot go on like this, that there is this sense of deja vu of what happened in 1972, and that it took the salvaging of Ninoy Aquino before the Filipino people was awakened. I hope more and more will be made aware of the truth behind all these," the former senator pointed out.
Saguisag described the first few months of the Duterte administration as worse than during Marcos' time.
"During that time, many were arrested and tortured but not many were killed in the beginning. To me, every human life matters," he said. "With the way things are going now – threat of suspending the privilege of writ of habeas corpus, threat of martial law – we don't know what will happen next," he warned. "It is best for the President to review and consider a change of course. We, in the tiny HR (human rights) community, are very worried," he pointed out.
For his part, Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN) secretary-general Renato Reyes said the so-called good relations between the administration and the leftist movement are now being put to the test.
"As to what will happen next, we'll see. But definitely, we are very dismayed of what had just happened. We will have the President answer for this," he said.
He added the development would affect the commitment of the government to indemnify martial law victims.
Bonifacio Ilagan, spokesman for the Campaign Against the Return of the Marcoses to Malacañang (CARMMA), called on the President to sever his alliance with the Marcoses.
"We are set to come out with this unity statement that will gather millions of signatures to send a strong message that we oppose the burial of the dictator at the LNMB," he said referring to the Libingan by its initials.
In line with what Saguisag was suggesting, supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte voiced out support for Saguisag saying it would be better if all of these people will resign, especially Vice President Leni Robredo, Senators Risa Hontiveros, Leila De Lima, Antonio Trillanes IV, and Bam Aquino.
A prominent Marcos supporter, Atty. Lodovico Silayan said people will be happy if the so-called Martial Law Victims would resign from the government and "Rest in Peace", so the country can go forward under President Duterte's administration.
"Hindi sila kawalan sa gobyerno", Silayan said. /Gilda Alegre/

Best Private Bank in Mauritius 2016
Port-Louis, 1
November 2016 :
MCB Private Banking has won the Best Private Bank in Mauritius 2016 title awarded by Professional Wealth Management and The Banker, two publications of the Financial Times group.
The jury, which consisted of 15 eminent finance specialists from around the world, concluded that MCB Private Banking had reached a new milestone in its development while continuing to offer an exceptional service to its clients.
MCB Private Banking leverages its expertise, its experience and the strategic location of Mauritius between Asia and Africa to further its growth. In doing so, it is helping Mauritius strengthen its position as a unique private banking and wealth management destination. The rising number of high net worth individuals in the region means prospects for growth are good. MCB Private Banking saw its number of clients grow by 16.5% in the last year. Today, around half of them come from outside Mauritius.
As MCB Private Banking further diversifies its markets, it plans to expand its private banking offering into Africa. It will leverage on MCB's representative offices in Johannesburg (South Africa) and Nairobi (Kenya) in order to respond to the growing interest from sub-Saharan countries for the diversification of their wealth manage¬ment and investment destinations.
The domestic scene remains as important. Mauritius is a competitive market, with more than 20 banks including a num¬ber of niche players serving the HNWI market. The growing trend of wealthy foreign¬ers holding resident permits in Mauritius is creating a growing demand for real estate and pre¬mium concierge services.
"Knowledge of finance is one thing but the most important aspect of our service is to understand the real needs of families," Didier Merle, Head of MCB Private Banking, said.
"Everyone at MCB private Banking is honoured to receive this award for the third year in a row. It inspires us to do even better by listening to our customers, understanding them and responding effectively to their needs. Ultimately, our aim is to understand the profile of our valued clients with a view to delivering a truly personalised experience to them," he added.

I can only assume that since he's trying to mend broken fences with this tour of England, he subconsciously reverted to a period just before he began snubbing the country at every opportunity. Or maybe he's just reliving his glory years, everybody loved him in 2008. But that was before he had a record to stand behind.
At any rate, I still gotta wonder, just what was he thinking?

The Royal Albert Hall, home since 1941 to one of the world's biggest and best-known classical music festivals, is taking on the West End with a move into musicals.
In conjunction with impresario Raymond Gubbay, the home of the Proms is in talks with various parties about staging a production next year. Its chief executive, David Elliott, declined to name which musical the organisation was targeting, but confirmed it would be a famous one.
"We just want to see if we can make this work," he said, "although we're not going to invest in something that would need to run for years. We're looking at doing a slightly different take on it."
The musical is likely to be staged "in the round", with the audience surrounding the stage. The Royal Albert Hall, with Mr Gubbay, has already enjoyed commercial success - if not always critical acclaim - staging popular operas such as Carmen in this way.
Although the Royal Albert Hall was awarded £40m from the National Lottery towards a recently completed £70m refurbishment, it receives no public finance for its day-to-day operations. All the money it makes is ploughed back into the Hall, including funding educational days for children.

No Captcha is truly Accessible is the constant feedback. But looking at reCaptcha V 2.0 where Google actually throws up images/audio only when, on mouse actions it detects that the it is not a user and Also the image option has an audio captcha option, I thought that Google reCaptcha was an accessible solution.
How do we validate it is WCAG compliant? Any documentation to say reCAPTCHA Version 2.0 is WCAG compliant? There is a note on the reCAPTCHA home page which talks about Accessibility, but there is no direct compliance indicated!

While major record labels complain about the public illegally copying music online, female artists are proving better than their male peers at using it to communicate directly with their fans. And at the vanguard of this phenomenon is Lily Allen, the solo artist whose big mouth repeatedly gets her in the news.
Last week, the NME published its Cool List, the weekly mag's annual rundown of who has stood out in the music scene. This year, women bucked the trend of a male-dominated industry with high placings for Allen, Beth Ditto (the larger-than-life frontwoman of US dance rockers The Gossip) and Long Blondes' vocalist Kate Jackson.
Allen was invited to join what she thought was a shared cover shoot to celebrate the rise of credible female stars, so was understandably miffed to see all-male trio Muse on the NME's front page in their stead. Rather than summon her label to put out a press release by way of complaint, or phone up a friendly radio jock, Keith Allen's feisty daughter instead went straight to the nearest computer and put out her own missive online.
She began by explaining she had reneged on a vow never to work with the NME again, after they quoted her as saying she would celebrate a number one record with doses of cocaine. The singer continued, "You thought that your readers might not buy a magazine with an overweight lesbian [Ditto] and a not particularly attractive looking me, on the front. Wankers. You should take your heads out of you [sic] New Rave arses, and actually think about your responsibilities to youth culture, and to women in general."
NME has declined to comment on Allen's specific allegation, though if true it would fit the suspicion that music is a man's game. James Blunt may have entered rhyming slang for the wrong reasons, but few people talk about the variety of songwriters that have helped him. Meanwhile, Katie Melua is derided as the plaything of former Womble Mike Batt.
The balance does seem to be shifting, though, as a new wave of female performers have used the internet to launch themselves, build up a fan base and gain record deals. A spokesman for Allen's label points out Parlophone signed her before she became the queen of MySpace, though the artist herself has admitted it has shaped her direction. As well as posting her own outspoken views online about anyone from Pete Doherty to Victoria Beckham, she has been keen to gain feedback from listeners to her demos. The singer looked at the number of plays for various tracks on her site before she chose "LDN" for a debut single, released as a limited 7in in April before its full release later in the year.
One fan of Allen's online diary, or blog, is Nerina Pallot, another solo artist who herself hit the charts earlier this year with "Everybody's Gone To War".
"It's really fun and irreverent," she says with delight, though the singer-songwriter disagrees with Allen's assessment of girl group The Like as "bitches". "They're really very sweet, but they happen to come from LA so are obsessed with anything cool."
Pallot herself once enjoyed a major label deal, but was dropped when her 2001 debut album Dear Frustrated Superstar failed to meet expectations. She recounts the tale on her website (www.nerinapallot. com), a key factor in her tortuous comeback. The artist set out on her own, using the site and MySpace to disseminate her music and opinions. Pallot retained the support of her publishing company during this time, though to complete the recording of her second album she still needed to remortgage her house. Such was the success of the self-released Fires that it has been picked up and reissued by 14th Floor Records, part of international giant Warner.
Speaking from a noisy square in central London between appointments, Pallot is now on an arduous round of radio stations and press interviews, though after years in the wilderness, the Jersey-raised performer welcomes the attention. She sets great store by constant gigging to tout her wares and also praises the support of her publishers, but credits the internet with helping re-establish herself. "At one point I did think about packing it all in to become an English teacher, but when the publishing company heard my songs they said it was worth putting them out there. They warned me it would be hard work, but the internet has been a really good shop window, because you can post so much information and it's so cheap."
She does caution against using the internet simply as a barometer of popularity, though. "I've seen bands on there with many friends [other MySpace users linked to their site], but very few plays, so it looks like it is set up by their label and no one is really that interested in them. Now I don't accept friends unless people actually ask me."
Until recently, Pallot herself looked after her online presence, whether on her official site or others where she could promote her music and videos. She was responsible for putting tracks online, but also used the internet as a platform for communicating with fans. It is here that women seem to have the edge over male artists, as they tend to be more comfortable about being open about themselves through message boards or blogs.
Pallot herself publishes short stories online and has long run her own blog. She agrees female musicians are better placed to use this kind of technology. "It's like the way women communicate. I love any excuse to be mouthy and not have anyone stop me, but like music, it's quite a discipline. I like reading what other people say, randomly following links, and ending up finding out about a guy from Missouri's trip to a Lakers game."
Both Allen and Pallot arrived in the wake of Sandi Thom, who came to fame via gigs broadcast from the basement of her home in Tooting, south London. The prevailing mood among record labels is that if these performers can attract thousands of fans by such guerrilla tactics, imagine what they could do with proper backing. It certainly worked for Thom's number one single "I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker". And while the internet videos may have now dropped off, Thom still has the energy to update her online journal.
The novelty of blogging gives such emotional transparency a modern sheen, but the phenomenon has been around much longer. Mariah Carey is the most renowned star to leave cries for help on her site. In 2000, the R&B diva was named the best-selling female artist of all time at the World Music Awards, though soon after her career was to hit the buffers. Having separated from her husband and label, Carey was under pressure to perform at Virgin.
The first her fans knew that this was taking its toll was in a message on her site. Carey complained, "I don't know what's going on with life... I just want you to know that I'm trying to understand things in life right now... I just can't trust anybody anymore right now because I don't understand what's going on." Not long after she was in hospital and refusing to make public appearances.
A year earlier, before wireless laptops became widespread, American singer Fiona Apple scrawled notes to fans while on tour, which hardcore followers scanned and disseminated via fan site www.neverisapromise. com. A 2000 entry that begins, "I write this particular entry as the most humiliated form of myself..." sets a tone not unlike today's online diaries. This was around the time she was promoting second album When The Pawn..., which failed to match the success of its predecessor, the mammoth post-Tori Amos smash Tidal.
So when her next album failed to materialise soon after, supporters were understandably concerned she had run into trouble with her label. It was not until the beginning of 2005 that early versions of tracks were leaked and impatient fans campaigned for the album's release, with rumours that Sony were unhappy with Apple's new sound. It transpired that the label had in fact turned down the original recordings, with Apple persuaded to start over after a period of stonewalling. In the end, last year's Extraordinary Machine was to become her highest charting release.
So the campaign to release the record seems to have had no bearing on its final complexion, though Apple's raw honesty should not be discounted; it helped forge a bond with fans that lasted the six years between albums. Not that her and Carey's victimhood has become the norm. Instead, artists are using the internet to maintain their identities separate from record company machinations or even to run their own careers.
In such a deluge of personal information, it would be easy to hark back to a golden age of rock-star mystique. Kraftwerk thrived despite only allowing one interview every 10 years, maybe even every other decade. Until recently, Morrissey was teasingly coy about his sex life, or lack of, but that only served to make his dedicated fan base even more obsessive. Though if transparency gives female artists more independence, maybe it is a price worth paying.

Jack Up Barge
Petrojack Sells Two Rigs
Petrojack ASA has sold two of its jackup rigs under construction at Jurong Shipyard in Singapore, the PetroJack I and PetroJack III at a combined price of $420m to A.P. Møller-Maersk.

The carrier also plans to increase its passenger numbers to 2.6 million by 2016, up from the 2.3 million it expects to transport this year, and load factor of 75%, up from the 64% to 65% at present. In 2013, TAROM is forecasting a loss of RON143 million (EUR32.5 million), compared to previous forecast of a RON252 million (EUR57.3 million) loss, while losses in 2014 is estimated to reach RON18 million (EUR4.1 million). To achieve the carrier's targets, Mr Heinzmann said the carrier will carry out several measures including introducing new marketing strategy and new route network, "renegotiate some slots so as to carry out only profitable flights." Other measures include improving IT systems and introducing voluntary redundancy as it aims to cut its labour force by 10%. Mr Heinzmann believes the carrier should have about 1500 employees by 2015.

Romania aviation Part 3: Blue Air opens Liverpool base and creates new markets; TAROM feels the heat
CAPA's first two parts of this analysis of Romanian aviation and the country's leading airlines highlighted the rapid, LCC-fuelled growth in the market of the past two years. The home-grown LCC Blue Air has overtaken the national airline TAROM in passenger numbers and fleet size, although Wizz Air is the largest airline in the market and Ryanair is also growing fast in the country. This third part of the analysis considers respective route networks and the competitive positions of TAROM and Blue Air.
Blue Air announced in Oct-2016 that it will establish a base in Liverpool in 2017, with new routes from the UK city to a range of European destinations outside Romania. This is a sign that Blue Air is taking the fight to airlines such as Ryanair and easyJet as it embraces the pan-European LCC model. Blue Air CEO Gheorghe Racaru has said, "The UK is a strategic market for Blue Air and we strongly believe that basing a 737-800 at Liverpool will allow us to strengthen our position as one of Europe's fastest growing airlines".
For its part, TAROM, loss-making in contrast with Blue Air's profitability, is embarking on a restructuring following a change of management. It is facing increased competition on its network, while Blue Air has targeted its growth on routes where competitors are scarce or non-existent.
Romania aviation 2: LCC Blue Air overtakes TAROM to be nation's biggest home-grown airline
The first part of CAPA's analysis of the aviation market in Romania examined its rapid growth, driven by LCCs. Romania has become an important battleground for two foreign airlines – Wizz Air (the biggest airline in the country) and Ryanair. Local low cost airline Blue Air is also growing rapidly, while Romania's government-owned national airline, TAROM, is stagnating.
This second report on the Romanian aviation market looks at the country's two main home-grown airlines, in particular the development of their capacity and fleet. Traffic data for the two are scarce but it seems that Blue Air, which commenced operations in 2004, is now larger than TAROM by number of annual passengers carried.
After a change of ownership in 2013 Blue Air seems to have been revitalised and has adopted a more pan-European strategy, with bases in Turin and Larnaca and a base planned for Liverpool in 2017. Its growth has also been prompted by the aggressive expansion of Wizz Air and Ryanair in Romania. Blue Air, now bigger than TAROM, became a full member of IATA in Jan-2016.
Part three of CAPA's analysis will present details of the respective route networks and competitive positions of TAROM and Blue Air.

Gray Lady
Jess Jackson deserves all the pleasure he derives from the acquisition and ownership of Rachel Alexandra. He's got the only one, and it's great that from time to time he likes to share the view. However, there is a natural skepticism that arises when someone tells us over and over how good something is without ever giving us a chance to discover it conclusively for ourselves. Now that it has been announced Rachel Alexandra will make her next start in the Woodward Stakes at Saratoga on Saturday, Sept. 5, more evidence may be on the way.
It's already been noted, at great length, that no 3-year-old filly has ever won the Woodward. This is of interest, just as no 3-year-old filly has won the Jockey Club Gold Cup (first run in 1919), no 3-year-old filly has won the Whitney (first run in 1928) and, for that matter, no 3-year-old filly has won the Pacific Classic (first run in 1991). The main reason is statistical -- very few have tried -- which relates to the traditional, since there are races of equal prestige for the gender.
Now Rachel Alexandra will try, and more power to her. But to confuse the current look of the Woodward with its impressive past would be a mistake. This is not your daddy's Woodward.
In fact, the race has lived a lot of different and very colorful lives. William Woodward Sr., the man behind Gallant Fox and Omaha and chairman of the Jockey Club, died at the age of xx. His legacy was honored by the first running of the Woodward Handicap in 1954, when Pet Bully beat Joe Jones at Belmont going a mile. In 1955 the Woodward was a mile and one-eighth and won by Traffic Judge. Thirty days later, William "Billy" Woodward Jr., the son of you-know-who and owner of soon-to-be Horse of the year Nashua, was gunned down by his wife in what was ruled an accidental shooting. In 1956, Nashua, now owned by Spendthrift Farm, was upset in the Woodward by Mister Gus.
For the 16 runnings from 1956 through 1971 it was a mile and one-quarter, eight of them run at Aqueduct and eight at Belmont, followed by four runnings at a mile and one-half. Secretariat lost one of those. Forego won four straight, including two runnings at a mile and a half (at weight-for-age) and then two as a handicap at a mile and one-eighth (carrying a total of 268 pounds), after which the Woodward was back to 10 furlongs from 1978 through 1980's walkover with Spectacular Bid. Commencing in 1981 the race profile became a picture of consistency--9 furlongs at Belmont--as long as you don't count the reversion to a mile and a quarter in 1989, when fans of Easy Goer got to watch him romp an extra 12 seconds or so.
The move from Belmont in 2006 was predicated on giving the older division another opportunity to run for Saratoga glory, never mind that there were now two main track mile and one-eighth races for the same horses a month apart, both beginning with "W." Not even California would do that, although it is true all the races of significance tend to start with either San or Santa.
Rachel Alexandra will be running a two-turn mile and one-eighth Woodward at Saratoga rather than the one-turn mile and one-eighth of Belmont. Every respected handicapper I talked to (okay, both of them) said without a doubt a ratable speed horse like Rachel has a distinct advantage going two turns compared to one. And because the Woodward now looks pretty much like the Whitney, there is justification for arm's length comparison. Gallorette, Lady's Secret and Personal Ensign all were Whitney winners, Gallorette also finished second, as did Serena's Song, while Shuvee and Straight Deal finished third. None of them was three at the time.
Still, it is Woodward history Rachel Alexandra will try to make, and it was on Aug. 30, 1986, that Lady's Secret finished second in the Woodward to Precisionist, the same season she was voted Horse of the Year. To that point in the campaign, Lady's Secret already had faced the boys three times, winning the Whitney and running third in the Met Mile and the Iselin.
In terms of facing males in major races at age three, Rachel Alexandra has the jump on Lady's Secret. On the other hand, by early September of 1985, the 3-year-old Lady's Secret already had met and beaten older fillies and mares four times. Other than the fact that the elegant Rachel Alexandra is dark brown and about twice as tall, while Lady's Secret moved like a scalded gray cat, there is not much to compare the two, which leaves us more time to enjoy the memory of one and anticipation for the other.

JC -- That's correct. Phipps was chairman of TJC in '89, and Easy Goer was always going to run in the Gold Cup, even if that put his ability to be at the top of his game in the Classic in jeopardy. There's something to be said for loyalty to the home team.
Wasn't Phipps chairman of the Jockey Club in '89? I thought I once read something along the lines of it wouldn't have looked very good if the JC chairman didn't run his big horse in the JC's namesake race.
Jay Nice article and loved reviewing Lady Secret's PP's....I love that you mentioned the fact about the "who's who" she faced as a 3 year old....hence when I write about Rachael Alenxandra on these blogs..I basically state that she isn't in that type of league yet based off of some of her monstrous wins against?????????? Still she is real good and getting better...but..I just think too many people have jumped on her HOY bandwagon too quick. What's your opinion for Saturday?...I feel, based off who she is facing, she will win in a workwoman effort. Mickey
Easy Goer did his historic run as a 3yo. That run of Easy Goer's as a 3yo of the Belmont at 12F, Whitney at 9F, Travers at 10F, Woodward at 10F and Jockey Club Gold Cup at 12F was most historic for a 3yo. What Slew O' Gold did as a 4yo was great also. Ironically, both Easy Goer and Slew O' Gold narrowly lost the Breeders' Cup Classic after "prepping" at 12F in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. That never works.
Ed Forhane, Get your facts straight!! Damascus did NOT win the Met Mile, he did NOT win the Suburban as a 3yo, he did NOT win the Whitney as a 3yo!! Get your facts straight, Damascus went down to Delaware and won the Leonard Richards for 3yos, LOST the W Du Pont at Delaware, then won the Dwyer for 3yos,American Derby for 3yos, Travers, Woodward and Gold Cup and lost the DC Int'l! Damascus did NOT win the Met Mile, Suburban and Whitney as a 3yo, he lost 4 times as a 3yo! Easy Goer is the ONLY horse to have ever reeled off the Belmont, Whitney, Travers, Woodward and Jockey Club Gold Cup in history!!
Slew O'Gold at 4yo in 1984 won the Whitney 127lbs.(9f), Woodward(9f), Marlboro Cup 129lbs.(10f) and JCGC(12f) with style folks.
Jay, I wanted to let you know that Black Tie Affair is settling in very nicely along with Proper Reality and Jade Hunter here at Old Friends...Also, check out the eighth race tonight at Mountaineer Park...Two great old geldings...each winners of more than $500,000...we hope that at least one of them will wind up at Old Friends...All the Best, Michael.
ACRS and Jay, In fact, another 3-year-old did dominate like EG on his way to HOY -- Rokeby's Burch-trained Arts and Letters. A and L won: Met Mile, Belmont, Travers, Woodward, and Jockey Club Gold Cup in 1969 as a 3-year-old. He also spanned greater distances, winning the 8f MM to the 16f JCGC. Also, this was the year of Derby and Preakness winner Majestic Prince, who won 9 of 10 and only lost the Belmont. A and L was Easy Goer to MP's Sunday Silence, except A and L actually won the championship.
Doesn't anybody but me remember Damascus? Afer finishing 3rd in the 1967 Derby he won the Preakness, Met Mile, Belmont, Suburban, Whitney, Travers, Woodward, and JC Gold Cup. Overall I think he won 19 of 20 starts as a 32yr old. In the Woodward he beat the 1966 HOY Buckpasser AND the 1968 HOY Dr. Fager. Only Native Dancer's 3YO campaign is in the same class as Damascus!
Thanks for putting the Lady's PP's up. Not only was she great but I forgot how good that Three Year Old crop of Filly's hers was. Moms Command-Triple Tiara winner and Eclipse Champ. Frans Valentine-Ky Oaks Champ and DQ loser of first BC Juvy Filly race. Outstandingly-First BC Juvy Filly Champ Folk Art-Ky Oaks Favorite Savvanah Slew, Clocks Secret, etc, etc. Ladys Secret did not get any notoriety until she beat Moms Command at Saratoga in the Test. She probably encompassed all of the highs and yes arguable one of the lows of Waynes training career. But hey if he did not take chances with her she may never have been as great as she turned out to be in the history books........

Real estate attorneys deal with the many laws and practice areas associated with land ownership issues. For example, a commercial real estate attorney knows which laws apply to commercial transactions for construction/development projects (such as condo construction), or land use/zoning projects (such as subdividing a parcel of land for development), or real property issues (such as financing a large land purchase). Likewise, residential real estate lawyers help you buy a home, or prevent you from losing your home in foreclosure. They also know how residential tenancy laws work and can advise you of your rights as a tenant. With so many types of real estate attorneys, it is important to find a specialist who does the work you need.

Nigel Farage has said new mothers should expect to possibly fall behind in their careers – because it is "a fact of life".
Appearing on ITV's daytime panel show Loose Women, the controversial Ukip leader said that women are often "disadvantaged" when they return to the workplace after having a baby.
"If you're a doctor, a lawyer, a researcher, you're a woman, you have a baby, you take six months or a year off, you come back. You are not disadvantaged at all in that job," he said.
"But there are other jobs in which if you take six months off and come back you actually find yourself behind the rest of the pack and earning less money. Now that is a fact of life. It's difficult to change that."
He added that things were beginning to change as more men opt to be stay-at-home fathers – but he quipped that he would have been "absolutely useless" in the role himself.
Indeed, Farage admitted that his own family life has suffered as a result of his unrelenting pursuit of his career, explaining that he gets up at 5am and is "rarely home before midnight".
"You cannot conduct any sense of family life and do politics," he said. Farage candidly added that those in politics have to be "selfish".
During the course of the interview he also criticised Prime Minister David Cameron for deciding to only appear in one TV debate – featuring seven parties - ahead of 7 May. The Prime Minister has also been accused by Labour leader Ed Miliband of "running scared".
"I suspect had it been a four-headed debate, there were one or two conversations I wanted to have with the Prime Minster that I don't think he would have been able to answer," Farage said.
"And I suspect that's why they've sabotaged them."
Ukip's confusing policies
Ukip's confusing policies
1/6 Deport migrants
Ukip MP Mark Reckless suggested he would deport existing EU migrants, a policy Nigel Farage rejected out of hand.
2/6 US-style NHS
Farage was caught on film in 2012 saying healthcare headed towards insurance-based system, though he has since said he would keep it free at the point of use.
Universal Images
3/6 Handbag tax
Ukip Economy spokesman Patrick O'Flynn said he would introduce a tax on high-price items like shoes, Nigel Farage disowned this idea.
4/6 Same-sex couple adoption
Ukip candidate Winston McKenzie likened adoption by same-sex couples to "child abuse", but the party rejects that view.
5/6 Gay marriage?
In early 2014 Ukip released a statement saying it would review its gay marriage policy, but later said that was an error.
AFP/Getty Image
6/6 Sex education u-turn
Nigel Farage told Leaders Live that he backed sex education for under-11s but later admitted that is not Ukip policy.
Farage said one of these topics would have been immigration. Recent figures released by the ONS showed that net immigration to the UK rose to 298,000 in the last 12 months to September - up from 210,000 in the previous year. The figure is three times as high as pledged by Cameron at the 2010 election.
Farage has pledged to introduce a five-year ban on immigration and an Australian-style points based system if Ukip gets into power. He has said Ukip has ruled out imposing "arbitrary targets" for immigration, despite the party previously calling for net migration to be capped at 50,000.
Farage said that he would ideally like immigration to be "between 20,000 and 50,000" and for those who come to the UK not to be a "burden" on the country.
The panel suggested that Farage was in an "easier" position than the other party leaders, in that he doesn't "physically have to do anything about" his proposed policies.
Farage replied: "What I want to do is radically change polticis."Reuse content

The sudden 'Surgical Strike' against Black Money carried out by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is actually the third time in Indian history that high currency notes have been demonetised, after January 1964 and again in 1978.
The highest value currency note printed by the Reserve Bank of India was the Rs 10,000 note printed in 1938 which was demonetised in January 1946, then brought back again in 1954 and finally discontinued in January 1978, according to RBI data.
Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 10,000 bank notes were in circulation prior to January 1946. Higher denomination banknotes of Rs. 1,000, Rs. 5,000 and Rs. 10,000 were reintroduced in 1954 and all of them were demonetised in January 1978.
ALSO READ: New Rs 500 And Rs 2000 Notes To Be Available In ATMs From Nov 11
The Rs. 1,000 note made a comeback in November 2000. Rs. 500 note came into circulation in October 1987. The move was then justified as attempt to contain the volume of banknotes in circulation due to inflation.
However, this is the first time that Rs. 2,000 currency note is being introduced.
While announcing currently circulated Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 notes as invalid from midnight tonight, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said new Rs. 500 note and a Rs. 2,000 denomination banknote will be introduced from November 10.

Bank notes in Ashoka Pillar watermark series in Rs. 10 denomination were issued between 1967 and 1992, Rs. 20 in 1972 and 1975, Rs. 50 in 1975 and 1981 and Rs. 100 between 1967-1979.
The banknotes issued during this period contained the symbols representing science and technology, progress and orientation to Indian art forms.
In the year 1980, the legend Satyameva Jayate — 'truth alone shall prevail' — was incorporated under the national emblem for the first time.
In October 1987, Rs. 500 banknote was introduced with the portrait of Mahatma Gandhi and Ashoka Pillar watermark.

Mahatma Gandhi (MG) series banknotes – 1996 were issued in the denominations of Rs. 5, (introduced in November 2001), Rs. 10 (June 1996), Rs. 20 (August 2001), Rs. 50 (March 1997), Rs. 100 (June 1996), Rs. 500 (October 1997) and Rs. 1,000 (November 2000).
The Mahatma Gandhi Series – 2005 bank notes were issued in the denomination of Rs. 10, Rs. 20, Rs. 50, Rs. 100, Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 and contained some additional/new security features as compared to the 1996 MG series.
The Rs. 50 and Rs. 100 banknotes were issued in August 2005, followed by Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 denominations in October 2005 and Rs. 10 and Rs. 20 in April 2006 and August 2006, respectively.
