He came up to me when it .was twilight, and said he, 'Good evening, Marthy,' and then I seemed to fall into a flutter, and to feel that he seemed to know it. Oh!

When the train pulled into the depot at Sacramento, Miss Bichardson espied Dick Powers waiting, and by his side was Al'Ksher.

He looked at the wild rose blooming so sweetly for mm, and, as he saw th^ hazel eyes brimming up with drops, the falling corners of the shy mouth quivering, the old, sweet beauty grew upon him again, and a hungry smile dawned in his eyes;' " Oh, Marthy! Httle Marthy!" he murmured. "At last, dear Bichard, at last I" she cried, and he gathered her in his arms. Al Fisher took Miss-Bichardson.home, nnd she was gravely polite and smiling all the way.. But it was* two years before she allowed him to draw the last drop of bitterness out of her heart; and, even then, she gave the last kiss before her marriage to Baby Marthy. Powers never would think of calling her any name beside Kate Bichardson. —Belgravia Magazine. .. Loafing. Does the young man who persists in being a loafer everreflect how much less i*- would cost to be a decent, respectable man? Does he imagine that loaferism is more economical than gentility? • Anybody can be a gentleman, if he chooses' to be, without much bost, but it i^mighty expensive being a loafer. It costs time, in the first place, days, weeks and months of it; in fact, about all the time he has, for no man canbe a first-class loafer without'devoting his whole time to it. The occupation, well followed, hardly affords time for eating, sleeping, dri . ], we had almost, said drinking, but on reflection we will except that. The loafer finds time to. drink whenever invited, at the cost of friends. Once fully embarked on the sea'of loaferdom; and you bid farewell io every friendly sail that sails under an honest and legitimate flag. Your consorts will only be the buccaneers of society. It costs money, for, though the loafer may not earn a cent or have one for months, the time lost might have pEocSred him much money, if devoted to industry instead of sloth It costs health, vigor, comfort, all the true pleasures of Hying, honor, dignity, self-respect,'ahd the respect of the world when living, andj*finally, bright of consideration wjh,en dead. Be a gentleman, then; it is far cheaper. ■ China m a Maritime P0w<?r« * Much • as Americans may affecf? to despise the Chinese and their enterprise, yet the time is coming when, without sharp and decisive* action oh our part, that people will be far better represented in the ocean carrying trade than ourselves. The Chinese appear to have awakened to the importance and value of carriage by sea between their own and other countries, and-mgifest a 'disposition to embark in the business as a matter of profit. As a fair, beginning1, they have put on a Hne to compete -with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. Already the China Merchants* Steam Navigation Company have twb steamers engaged in the Pacific trade. This' en • terprise, backed up by the Imperial government, is about to be re-enforced by three new iron steamers, all of which are being constructed on the Clyde. While the subjects of the "Mowery Kingdom" are making this movement to secure the China-American trade, our own importance in Chinese waters is rapidly on the decfine. The time when we could look with satisfaction xipon the number and size of American clippers engaged iu the China' trade is passed, and. a once flourishing businesses rapidly passing into ofcher hands. The annexed figures, showing the state of trade in 1876 and 1879 between the treaty ports of 'China and other countries, have beeii compiled from statements made by the United States Consul at Shanghai: Ai , 187S-—-—«' *'*«—- 18*6 »r* ' No of •■ ' ": w'.'lteof * " " Flag. .yessels.

This,, too, ins^ite. of the active efforts of England to secure the great bulk of the trade. This * speaks weU for the active enterprise of China, and is an evidence that the people and rulers of that country are beginning to appreciate the importance of their trade with other nations. . Americans on the Pacific eoast pretend that they have" no fears of competition from the Chinese, but experienced merchants declare that they will not only maintain then* position there, but ere long^ wiH be exhibiting the "dragon flag" Sn the Atlantic, as a competitor for European freight: Once Started in a" maritime career there* is no" calculating to what extent China may carry her enterprise, no? what :a formidable competitor she may in time become for. the carrying trade of the world. The wants of the people are so few and simple, and their ideas of. compensation so. Hmited, that she' could man and victual her ships at a cpst but trifling when compared with other countries,. In this she would have a decided advantage, and her ship owners, in* bidding3 for the carrying trade, would doubtless be content with a much less margin of profit than their European and American competitors. China, at all events, .manifests a disposition to become & maritime power, and it is not safe to predict that, once started on her career, she wfll not become in a marked degree the. common carrier of the world Stranger things than this have happened in the world's history.— N.

The friend immediately converted them into cash and disappeared. > Not long ago he went to HaU's house,-and in spite of Hall's anger placated him by representing that with the .$30,000 :w;hich,.he had appropriated to his own use he had gone to California, had made a' large fortune and had traveled across the continent for thfjexpress purppse?of refunding the money. Mr. HaH" was charmed and entertained White royaUy at his house,,. .White pretended to be sincerely sorr^ for the. roguery of his- younger days, and entertained, his hpst.-vvifch graphic descriptions of California,'' afld' amazing " yarns about the way in which he bad- made his * princely ffortune on the Pa- ' cific slope. HaH believed eveiy word he said, and agreed to lend him $6,000,. on White's turning over securities in "a sealed envelope.", He had already paid. him $1,200, when Mrs. Hall, rising at ^ inthe morning, carried the envelope to the Chief of PoHce. On opening it, the papers were found almost worthless, and White was arrested. How"',a. man capable of being gulled after this fashion was also capable of accumulating $30,- 000, or 30,000 cents, is a mystery tiidt would puzzle even a phrenologist.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Punch P400-2 by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Rockford Fosgate Punch amps Rockford Fosgate continues to develop progressive sound technologies. Their aim to produce a smaller amplifier, with all the power and clarity you expect from the Punch name. Dynamic Thermal Management The award-winning "Dynamic Thermal Management" 3-stage cooling system uses forced air to dissipate heat evenly across the amp and out through the heatsink. The internal components in these compact amps stay cooler, resulting in higher efficiency and lower distortion. You get more installation options, without sacrificing wattage or audio quality. MEHSA cooling process MEHSA is a Rockford Fosgate proprietary process that increases the heat transfer from the MOSFET devices to the heatsink. This allows the heat to escape more readily from the amplifier, so that the transistors stay cooler. P400-2 Punch performance The P400-2 2-channel amplifier dispenses 100 watts RMS per channel to your speaker system, or you can bridge it to supply 400 watts RMS to a sub. You can tailor the sound with variable-frequency high- and low-pass filters, or use the onboard EQ to add some high- or low-frequency punch to compensate for your car's acoustics. An optional wired remote control lets you tweak the sound from the front seat for quick adjustments while you're on the road.

Features Controls Connections Features Cast Aluminum Heatsink: The cast aluminum heatsink dissipates heat generated by the amplifier's circuitry. The inherent advantage of casting provides a 30% improvement of cooling over conventional extrusion heatsink designs. Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM): DTM Evenly distributes excess heat across entire amplifier heatsink. MEHSA³ (Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application-Third Generation): MEHSA is a Rockford Fosgate proprietary process that increases the heat transfer from the MOSFET devices to the heatsink. The multi-layer insulated metal MEHSA substrate operates with minimal thermal resistance, spreading heat both downward and outward to quickly dissipate heat from each device across the heatsink. This allows greater power output, enhanced thermal stability, and maximum reliability. Trans-ANA (TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier): Trans-ANA is a circuit that allows the audio signal to pass through the amplifier at low voltage. The signal is directly level-shifted to the fixed high voltage rails via a pair of drive transistors. Signal linearity is assured by an active node formed by the drive transistors at ultrasonic frequencies. The result is crystal clear sound quality. NOMAD (NOn-Multiplying Advanced Decision): NOMAD is an intelligent protection circuit that uses an analog computer to make real time decisions regarding temperature, voltage, current and impedance. The unit is protected without limiting sound output unless needed. TO-247 MOSFET: The Power T400-2 utilizes ultra high performance MOSFET output devices, giving the amplifier more power handling capability as well as lower thermal impedance for more reliable operation, even under the harshest load conditions. DSM (Discrete Surface Mount): In the manufacturing process high speed robotics are used to place 1% tolerance parts and large board traces. DSM improves the efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature. Power and Protection LEDs: The LEDs are located on top of the amplifier. A blue Power LED illuminates when the amplifier is turned on. A red Thermal LED illuminates if the amplifier overheats. The yellow Protect LED illuminates if a short circuit or too low an impedance is detected at the speaker connections. When any of the protection circuits engage, the amp automatically shuts down until the problem is corrected. Controls Internal Crossover: The amplifier's internal crossover has a 12 dB/octave slope. It's selectable for high-pass, all-pass (full range), or low-pass operation and is variable from 50Hz to 500Hz. Punch EQ: Punch EQ works along with the crossover switch. When the crossover is set to low-pass, the Punch EQ acts as a variable bass boost; 0-18 dB at 45 Hz. When the crossover is set to high-pass, the Punch EQ acts as variable treble boost, 0-12 dB at 12 kHz. When the crossover is set to all-pass, both the bass and treble boost circuits are active. Connections Power Connections: The power and ground terminals are nickel-plated captive c-clamp wire connectors and will accommodate up to 4-gauge wire. An external 80-amp fuse (not included) must be installed on the power wire. If a wiring kit is used which includes a fuse with a value other than 80-amps, the original should be replaced with an 80-amp fuse. The remote turn-on terminal will accept wire sizes of 12- to 24-gauge. A Phillips-head or slotted screwdriver (not supplied) is required to tighten/loosen the terminals. Differential Input: Differential input circuitry measures the voltage of both the positive (+) and negative (-) portions of the input signal, subtracting the voltage common to both conductors (noise); resulting in a cleaner signal. Reducing the noise on the input then improves the sound quality of the output. Speaker Connections: The 2-channel nickel-plated clamp wire connectors will accept 8-gauge to 18-gauge wire. A Phillips-head or slotted screwdriver (not supplied) is required to tighten/loosen the terminals. Remote Punch EQ (PEQ) Connection: An RJ-45 jack is provided for connecting an optional remote PEQ control (575ROCKPEQ, sold separately). If you use the remote PEQ, the Punch EQ control on the amp is disabled, and replaced by the remote. Note: Previous model Punch Bass and Para-Punch remotes will not work with this amp. RCA Pass-Thru Jacks: The pass-thru jacks provide a convenient source for daisy-chaining an additional amplifier without running an extra set of RCA cables from the front of the vehicle to the amplifier location. The pass-thru jacks output a full-range signal.

Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good amp at a reasonable price Written By mtucker, Escondido, CA. on Sunday, November 21, 2010 I use the P400-2 to run a 10" shallow mount Pioneer (bridged into 4 Ohms for 400W). I am not sure I would notice the difference in sound from one amplifier to the next (especially just running bass), but the Fosgate does what it is suppose to and works well. I have it mounted under the passenger seat (where it gets warm air blown on it from the heater under the seat) and it has never over heated or cut-out. I like the power connections. Instead of screw connections like some amps, the Fosgate uses rectangular clamps that squeeze the wire. No more crimping on spade connectors. You just stick the stripped wire in there and as you turn the Phillips screw the wires gets clamped in. The PEQ (remote bass level control) is a great accessory for this amp. My sealed 10" is much improved with a boost at 45Hz. The 400-2 has an easy connection for the control. I used two of the four screw holes to mount the amplifier to the floor. I have had the P400-2 for about a year now and it keeps pumping. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 You get what you pay for Written By BW, Anchorage,Ak. on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 I purchased this amp. to push 2 Kicker 12" CVR 4ohm subs. With the subs wired in parallel to 2 ohms and the amp at half power it easily powers them to produce more base than I would ever have imagined. Very loud yet perfectly clear at he same time. Make no mistake, this amp is advertised at 100x2 my build sheet says 244x2 with Fosgate you actually get more than what your paying for. Oh and check out the size, this thing is tiny. Heavy, yet small enough to put almost anywhere. Would recommend this amplifier to anyone. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Factory Refurbished Written By D.J., Norfolk, VA on Sunday, March 01, 2009 I wanted to wait about a month before reviewing so that I could truly give a fair review of this amp, especially since I felt that I was taking a risk buying it refurbished. I bought this amp to replace an old RF 400S that had finally had enough after FIVE years of pounding, and I have to say that so far I'm impressed. I have a JL factory loaded H.O. box which contains two 10w3v2's. It has a single +/- input which presents a 4 ohm load to the amp when bridged and can handle 600 watts RMS. I've been running this set up really hard in order to bring any problems to light. The amp got warm to the touch one day after a very extended cruise session listening to bass heavy songs but it never shut off. Apparantly, RF realizes it has a reputation to uphold with their amps even when refurbished. Unfortunately mine didn't have a birth sheet, not a big deal. Finally, I would suggest getting the remote as well. It can be used to boost treble in HP or bass in LP depending on your purpose for this amp, and it has a blue LED which indicates when the amp is powered up. It's on the bright side at night but will look cool and not as distracting if you mount it low. Don't skimp on the wiring and use RF products wherever you can. I had problems with two Street Wires fuse holders years ago but their wire seems to be alright. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Bought this to replace a 2001 Rockford Fosgate Punch 400 which I had been using to power one 10" RF Punch HE2. Easy install - just had to replace the old Remote Bass unit and cord with the newer one. I have had this installed for almost a month now and have no complaints. Sounds just as good if not better than the old setup. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great amp Written By earl, Erlanger, ky on Sunday, August 17, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this amp from crutchfield after buying 2 RF 15's. i was considering an alpine mono amp but when i saw this i looked at the stats and it has a signal to noise ratio of about 105 db at rated RMS power, the alpine had 65 db at rated rms power. this means the RF amp will have cleaner sound and less backround noise. I am running 2 RF 15's in a homemade encloseure with the bass boost at max and the gain at 3 or 4 with a flat sound from the head unit and my subs hit hard and deep. they are rated at 200 rms and are receiving 100 from this amp and it sounds awesome. it fills my car with bass and my car rattles like crazy. Awesome amp, well worth the money. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Rockford Fosgate Punch P400-2 Written By hourglass, Baltimore, MD on Friday, June 22, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got this amp to power my Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1 components. I was previously using a low-end Sony Xplod amp and @ 50W RMS it didnt have the oomph to push these speakers. It also wasnt very clean.The Punch 400-2 is exactly what these speakers needed. The mids pound without breaking up and the tweeters are still as out of control as ever (my only gripe about the Kappa components is that the crossover doesnt have another setting for lowering the overall tweeter level rather than having you resort to using EQ to tame them.)With the other amp, I was constantly fighting with Low and low-mid EQ settings and other options on my head unit to get the sound I wanted. With the Punch 400-2 Ive got my EQ flat (except for the 5db Im knocking down at 12.5Khz to tame the tweeters) and the mid drivers are utterly perfect. Guitars and kick drums sound alive. I can hear stuff Ive never heard before -- and thats saying something since in one case its a song I recorded. Additionally, the level of detail available in the tweeters is amazing. You can really hear the ROOM the drums are in. That kind of detail is hard to get in the studio - I never dreamed Id have it in my minivan. 23 out of 26 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

In much of Europe, nightlife has exploded in the past 40 years. Clubs, bars and pubs pump out music until the early hours, there is a boom in live music and sometimes complete islands are set up to accommodate clubs. The beaches and bars of the coast are the hotspots, but inland too there are always places to dance and have a good time.
The options for going out at night are excellent: original bars, a variety of different atmospheres and fiesta to be had until the early hours.
The presence of students in university or college towns means that there is nightlife almost every day of the week. Later on, after midnight and until the early hours, you will find a wide variety of options for your enjoyment: in the many pubs, bars and nightclubs you can dance to all kinds of music, hear concerts, see films, play cards, or simply have a drink in pleasant surroundings.
At the first sign of hot weather, nothing is more appealing than having an animated, uninhibited chat on the terraces of restaurants and cafés, which take over the pavements and the squares of the cities every summer.
If the Alps is most famous for its skiing that sport has created a secondary industry – the après ski. Holiday makers and winter sports fans need something to do after a hard day's skiing, and now there are a plethora of clubs, bars and nightclubs to keep the mood going until the early hours.
The great thing is: it is so uncomplicated. Flirting is normal on holiday, but Ischgl (Austria) could be described as the birthplace of flirting. During après-ski in the huts or when dancing in the clubs, it is easy to make contact with new people, you flirt and laugh – and everyone has a good time.
In Iceland, the partying starts rather late (bars/clubs get busy after midnight)! People often begin the evening meeting at someone's house before they head downtown. There are countless bars, nightclubs, pubs, and late-night restaurants in Iceland's capital - you can spend the whole night going from one place to another! You can save money at many locations by using the Iceland Travel Discount Card.
The distinction between cafés, pubs, bars and clubs is far from clear in Reykjavik, with many daytime cafés turning into tightly packed bars and clubs as the night goes on. Many are open until late (five in the morning) and it is not uncommon to spend all night on the town on Friday and Saturday nights.
In Ireland nightlife tends to be based around pubs, some of whom stretch their closing time into the early hours.
In Portugal people enjoy nothing better than long nights spent outdoors. If you like your nights to be lively and exciting, start the evening on a café terrace by the sea or riverside. Then all you have to do is choose a bar or a disco and dance the night away.
Porto's nightlife is probably one of the most exciting in Portugal. Most cafes, discos and bars are concentrated in the "Ribeira" zone in the old Downtown of the city. These entertainment places have commonly outdoor seating and are frequented mostly by students.
Belgium is fast becoming THE destination in Europe for the 20-30 something set. Generation Xers are flocking to cities like Brussels, Antwerp, Leuven and Namur for a pulsating nightlife.
No matter where you are in Belgium, there's a party going on – and you're invited! From 8pm until 8am – in that space of time between savouring a beautiful beer and a piping hot waffle – Belgium's exuberant nightlife will prove that sometimes it's worth it to skip a good night's sleep. Jazz festivals, rock concerts, exotic nightclubs, traditional brown pubs and casinos are all a part of daily life here in the heart of Europe.
In Holland pubs are usually open until 4 am on Fridays and Saturdays and until 2 am on other days.
Clubbing capital of Holland is the title that Rotterdam has won for itself by the explosive growth of the number of cafés, restaurants, clubs and discotheques over the last twenty years.
Luxembourg Nightlife can be described as vibrant and exciting. There are a wide range of recreational spots in Luxembourg that make the Luxembourg Nightlife very colourful.
London has one of the most vibrant nightlife scenes in Europe, and Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester are not far behind. English pubs and wine bars close at 11pm, but clubs stay open well into the early hours.
The UK has an excellent music scene that's very much alive in the clubs today. Most of the popular dance music; techno, electronica, house and drum n bass originated in the London clubs.
Wherever you go in Europe you'll be close to a hot nightspot.
The wild and woolly Atlantic rolls ashore on many coasts.
The Rhine, one of Europe's great rivers, brings to mind wine and beautiful landscapes.
Who put the "Be" in Benelux? Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg!

Hi, I am new to this, as a lot of people asking (probably) the same question.
Have been a "snapper", and want to delve into it a bit more.
Currently got a Samsung NV10, which I mostly used in Auto , but not certain what to go for with my "more serious attempt", and do not want to break the bank for if this turns out to be a fluke. (like that never happened before)
Initially want to focus on Wildlife/Landscape, since there is always some of that around.
Any advise much appreciated: do I go for DSLR or Bridge etc

MIKE SMITH, FREE FLYING SOUL, Winner: "She's some sprinter, she really is. She's so professional, she just goes out and does it every time. Even when she doesn't win, she's right there. She ran a big race in Kentucky last time. I might have pulled the trigger a little soon. I was worried about the closers and I was trying to get away from them. She still ran dynamite and she came back and redeemed herself."
KAREN HEADLEY (ASSISTANT TRAINER) "She's peaked for the last year. She's really grown up. She ran a great race in Kentucky and came back within a month here and didn't bounce, didn't do anything. She's just a really good mare. She tries every time. Let's see how she comes out of the race before deciding on what's next."
NOTES: The win was the fifth stakes victory of the meet for Smith, one less than leader Rafael Bejarano…It was also the second victory in a row in the Desert Stormer for the Hall of Fame jockey and his third in six years. Smith won aboard Coco Belle for owners Jerry and Ann Moss and trainer John Sadler in 2009…The Mosses and Sadler finished second with Alpha Kitten Saturday….Smith's other win in the race named to honor the 1995 Breeders' Cup Sprint winner was with Puxa Saco in 2005.

Gotta love some garlic (Taken with Instagram)
I'm 29, wife, mother, starting on a journey to get my pre pregnancy body back, plus make it even better. To be healthy and fit! I love my curves, as does my husband, they just need some major toning! I've spent my 20's not wearing the clothes I like or the style I like because my weight holds me back. I'm NOT going to start my 30's out fat and miserable...so the change begins...this is my journey, with all the ups and downs. Along for the ride is my husband and our two boys, ages 3 and 5 years.
So I'm here, this is mostly motivation for me, I'll be doing a lot of "re-blogging" probably...anything that helps me:)

very comfortable!!
Very nice shoe! colors and style are amazing....one of the best models of the new colletion...
I recommend it!!
PS: Etnies service always perfect!!
Enjoy Aventa shoe!!
great grip! There is no rubber in this shoe the whole sole is evolution foam. This new material is grippy, lighter and comfortable. I'm still testing the durability.

Chaussure très agréable à porter, très content de ce produit .
it is light weigth and very comportable to wear .
Jesper Norling
What a great shoe!
I love the fast delivery also.
The aventa is the best shoe i have ever worn and skated. The evolution foam is great, it absorbs impact it helps your foot against heel bruise. The shoe itself is great , skates great, last a very long time. This shoe is worth it. It fits like a sock its comfy to walk in . The aventa hands down the best shoe ever made.

text: Payroll includes all forms of compensation such as salaries, wages, commissions, dismissal pay, bonuses, vacation allowances, sick-leave pay, and employee contributions to qualified pension plans paid during the year to all employees and reported on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 941 as taxable Medicare Wages and tips (even if not subject to income or FICA tax). Also included are tips and gratuities received by employees from patrons and reported to employers. If an employee works at more than one location, the payroll is included in the one location where they spend most of their time. Also included are salaries of members of professional service organizations or associations that operate under state professional corporation statutes and file a corporate federal income tax return. Excluded are payrolls of departments or concessions operated by other companies at the establishment; payments to or withdrawals by proprietors or partners of an unincorporated company; and annuities or supplemental unemployment compensation benefits, even if income tax was withheld. Payroll is reported before deductions for social security, income tax, insurance, union dues, etc. This definition of payroll is the same as that used by the IRS on Form 941.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (July 10, 2009) — Favorite Smooth Performer caught gritty pacesetter Grace Anatomy and second-choice Music Magic in the final strides to win Friday night's $60,100 allowance feature under jockey Garrett Gomez at Hollywood Park.
Smooth Performer, making her second start following a ten-month layoff, covered 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track in 1:44.02 to register her third win in 12 starts. She finished a half-length in front of Grace Anatomy and Music Magic, who dead-heated for second.
Smooth Performer, a 4-year-old filly trained by Clifford Sise Jr. and owned by John Spohler and Martin Wygod, paid $5.60, $2.40 and $2.80. Music Magic returned $2.20 and $2.80, while Grace Anatomy paid $2.20 and $2.60.
The winner's share of $39,000 boosted Smooth Performer's earnings to $182,900.
Victor Espinoza and apprentice jockey Christian Santiago Reyes each rode a pair of winners Friday.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (November 14, 2010)—Minesweeper, an upset winner over older foes in the Oakland Handicap last month at Golden Gate Fields, will make his Hollywood Park main track debut in the $55,000 Nashville Stakes Thursday.
A gelded son of Cause Ur Mine and the Renteria mare Rents Due, Our Minesweeper will also be making his initial start for new connections. He was privately purchased after his 19-1 upset Oct. 19 by trainer Frank Lucarelli for owner David Taylor.
Patrick Valenzuela will ride Our Minesweeper as the Idaho bred seeks his fifth victory in 12 starts. He's earned $136,249.
Five others – Leothelion, Paris Vegas, Indian Firewater, Thomas Baines and Gallant Gent – were entered in the Nashville, which will be run at 7 ½ furlongs over Cushion Track.
The only member of the field who possesses a local victory is Gallant Gent. The Johanesburg gelding and the Cherokee Run mare Foofaraw won at first asking at Hollywood Park, overcoming severe trouble to prevail by a neck July 3, 2009.
Claimed out of that race by his current connections – a partnership that includes Six S Racing Stable and trainer Craig Lewis – Gallant Gent has since won two of 11. His bankroll is $130,280.
A Maria's Mon colt out of the A.P. Indy mare Tell Seattle, Paris Vegas has been well traveled in 2010. The gray has started three times at three different tracks – Saratoga, Monmouth Park and Remington Park – since coming to the United States from Austria. He won at 7-1 over a sloppy Monmouth surface Sept. 12.
Owned by Ecurie Manuel Garcia and trained by Fabrice Chappet, Paris Vegas has won three of nine and banked $109,648.
Leothelion is adding blinkers, Indian Firewater has been no worse than third in his last six starts for trainer Bob Baffert, but hasn't won since defeating maidens Sept. 7, 2009 and Thomas Baines won two in a row over the Polytrack at Del Mar against $62,500 claimers for owner A J L Productions LLC and trainer Doug O'Neill.
The Nashville is the fourth of eight races Thursday. Post time is 12:30 p.m.
