Way back in the day----way back, I started with the old Bear Razorheads. Then switched for the replaceable blade technology using Savora heads. Now this was before I knew anything about bow tuning and these things flew all over the place. Keeping them within a 4' pattern was a matter of luck. Then Savora came out with the swept back blades which helped a lot, plus I began to learn about tuning.
Then there was Satellite with, oh, so many parts. These found the trash can quick. Then there was Razorback 5 heads with the blades molded into the rotating ferrule (142gr). Had a two year stint with Anderson 245 magnums, a really wicked 1 1/2" cut. Used various Wasp heads as I got them free, but lost a blade or two a couple times after contacting bone. I just loved the thought of sticking my hands inside a deer knowing there was a razor blade in there somewhere.
Next was InnerLoc, both 75gr and 100gr, which I got for free when I repped for the company in 2003. They're a very precision machined head and similar to Muzzy in that the blades lock in very securely. They almost always screw on and align well with the shaft so there's less messing around with that. I do like the idea that I can spin check them and leave them on their respective shafts and change blades without having to remove or even loosen them, which ensures the integrity of that alignment. These are what I still have on my hunting arrows today,but do have to admit that the fire has burned out for hunting so they don't see much shooting any more.
I still have a few of each laying around somewhere, but lord know where.

Martin Kohler of the BMC Racing Team finished sixth in a tough, uphill finish and Klaas Lodewyck regained the most aggressive rider jersey after figuring in a two-man breakaway Friday at the Tour of Oman.
Impressive Ride
BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Michael Sayers said Lodewyck's performance in the 142.5-kilometer race that featured a hard finishing circuit was impressive. At one point, Lodewyck and breakaway companion Stijn Vandenbergh (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) had an eight-minute lead. "It took all the riders of two teams (Liquigas-Cannondale and RadioShack) to catch him back," Sayers said. "I've been impressed and I think I'm not the only one here who feels that way."
Top 10 For Kohler
Kohler, the Swiss national time trial champion, finished in the same time as stage winner André Greipel (Lotto Belisol). "It was a hard finish but it suited me perfectly," Kohler said. "I'm the type of rider who can go for a sprint in a hard finish with only 40 or 50 riders. "I'm thankful to my teammates. I had a great support from Alessandro Ballan and Marco Pinotti, who helped position me in front." Greipel leads overall with two stages to go while Michael Schär is the BMC Racing Team's best-placed rider in 20th.

Why get an Oklahoma City Thunder poster when you can get a Fathead? Fathead wall graphics, cut outs and outdoor ground graphics of the Thunder capture authentic game time images that show you're more than a casual fan.
The way we see it fans of the Oklahoma City Thunder deserve something bigger and better than basketball posters, wall stickers or decals. So if you call yourself an OKC Thunder fan then you'd better get a Thunder Fathead. FOR REAL.

GAU Names Danielle Dirocco as Executive Director
Graduate Assistants United is thrilled to announce the selection of Ms. Danielle Dirocco as its first Executive Director in the history of the organization. A lifelong Rhode Island resident, Ms. Dirocco earned her B.A. in Secondary Education from the University of Rhode Island in 2009 as well as her M.A. in Political Science in 2013, also at URI. Ms. Dirocco was a Teaching Assistant during her Graduate Program, and was elected President of GAU for the 2012-2013 Academic Year.
As president, Ms. Dirocco advocated for URI's teaching and research assistants to the Board of Governors when URI Graduate Assistant contract was rejected alongside other faculty contracts. Her work paved the way for the board to recognize that Graduate Assistants are a unique group with unique needs that differ from that of full-time or adjunct faculty and need to be treated as such. The Graduate Assistant contract was the only higher education contract ratified by the Board of Governors that included raises for all three years of the agreement.
In addition to her involvement with GAU, Ms. Dirocco is a member of the American Association of University Professor's National Committee on Graduate and Professional Students, and is a founding member of the Young Democrats of Rhode Island South County chapter.

The extremely beautiful Sofia Vergara stunned at the Emmys the right way, sporting jewelry that was worth over $7 million. According to Yahoo's US Weekly:The Modern Family actress wowed in a red, cleavage-enhancing sleeveless Vera Wang mermaid gown that hugged her curves, but it wasn't her natural assets that stole the spotlight -- it was the $7 million-worth of jewelry she had on!
There are different methods to make your jewelry look shiny and new again. Having it cleaned professionally by a jeweler may not be convenient for most due to busy life schedules. Luckily, basic household items such as vinegar, aluminum foil and antacid will yield similar sparkly results.
Diamonds are a precious investment, so it's important clean them as soon as they get dirty to keep them looking fabulous. Clean jewelry with diamonds by soaking it for five minutes in a mixture 1/4 cup of ammonia plus 1 cup of warm water. If there is still some filth on the jewelry, then use a toothbrush with soft bristles to remove stubborn dirt.
Your gemstone and gold jewelry can be cleaned quickly with vinegar by soaking it in vinegar for about 10 to 15 minutes. Again, you can use a toothbrush with soft bristles in removing difficult stains. With a solution of two antacid tablets in a glass filled with warm water is another method for cleaning gemstone jewelry. Drop your jewelry in the solution letting it sit for about two minutes.
Using aluminum foil for silver jewelry is a great way to remove any tarnished areas. Crumple a piece of aluminum foil and put it in a tray. Place jewelry on top of the crumpled foil paper and sprinkle some baking soda over it. Then pour some boiling water over it. The tarnish from the jewelry will be eliminated and transferred to the foil. Flip the jewelry to remove the tarnish from all sides. When all tarnished areas are removed, rinse it with water.
There are also commercial products that you can be used in cleaning jewelry at home. The Sparkle Bright Products All-Natural Jewelry Cleaner/Tarnish Remover & Polishing Cream can remove all the tarnish on precious jewelry. It does not contain any ingredients that produce the scent of harsh chemicals and best of all it's non-abrasive. Another product to use is the Pink Lady Sunshine Jewelry Cleaner Ultra Kit. This product can clean all types of jewelry including pearls and opals. The Polishing Cream does not contain any acid, ammonia, alcohol, abrasives or any other harmful chemicals. The Blitz Gem & Jewelry Cleaner Concentrate can be used in various types of cleaning machines. It is non-toxic with a very pleasant odor. The Connoisseurs Jewelry Cleaner is the best solution for cleaning precious diamonds and other stones with a brush and a cup (which is included with this product). The Weiman Jewelry Cleaner comes with a brush that is used to remove grime from jewelry to restore its brightness. It contains surfactants, chelating agent and ammonia.
Clean jewelry often to keep it looking amazing! Whether using household products or commercial products make sure that it can remove dirt from the jewelry
There are several types of metals that are used in creating jewelry. Strength, weight and other characteristics are considered during the development stages.
One of the most popular metals is the gold, which is available in a variety of carats and color. Pure gold is not recommend for making jewelry since it is soft and it cannot hold the weight of precious stones. The carat of the gold is equal to its purity, meaning that the purest gold has the highest rating. Other metals can also be joined to improve its luster and strength. As a result, the color can also be changed. So far, the most popular colors are yellow gold, and white gold. Choose a gold piece with a high carat for long lasting shine.
Pure silver is also too soft and is not perfect for making jewelry. It's susceptible to tarnish, but it's luster and strength can be improved by adding other metals. Moisture or oils in a person's skin easily tarnish silver, therefore silver is not for everyone.
The strongest metal available is titanium. It comes in a lot of colors and requires less maintenance from other types of metals, making it the popular choice among the different types of metals. However, not all people can afford it because it is quite expensive. People with metal allergies prefer this type, because it does not contain any nickel; a common allergy trigger. The color of titanium will never fade.
Platinum is the best metal for jewelry with diamonds. It is solid form and strength last longer compared to gold and silver. However, it is heavier compared to titanium. The luster is improved by adding some metals into it. Platinum is a rare type of metal that is why it is also quite expensive making it more precious than gold and silver. Even if it is heavier than other metals, there are some people who enjoy the feeling of having a heavier jewelry piece. Its color will not fade requiring less maintenance.
Stainless steel looks just like silver yet, it's more solid and it doesn't tarnish as quickly as silver. It also doesn't contain nickel (which can causes allergies for some). It's more expensive than silver. Most people (more commonly men) prefer the metallic look of stainless steel over the lustrous silver look.
These are just some of the most popular metals used for making jewelry.
When buying certified diamonds it is very important that every customer make an educated decision to avoid regrets. Even if diamonds are graded similarly from laboratory to laboratory each is based on the 4 C's (carat, clarity, color, and cut), there will always be a variation in its quality.
Two of the most famous laboratories are European Gemological Laboratory (EGL) and Gemological Institute of America (GIA). It is best to gain an understanding of the differences between these two laboratories in choosing suitable certification.
In 1931, GIA was launched and now they are considered as the leading experts in gemology all over the world. They have 1,400 employees which consist of certified diamond graders, scientists as well as educators. They are located in most diamond cities such as Bangkok, Tokyo, Beijing, Mumbai, Moscow, New York and others. GIA utilizes credited grading standards based on the 4 Cs as well as other types of popularly used grading methods. Aside from diamond grading, they also offer laser inscription and a variety of educational services which can be helpful to consumers as well as diamond professionals.
EGL was first established in 1974. There are more than 1,100 diamond graders, scientists, and educators who are working for EGL USA and EGL International. EGL USA has locations in Toronto, Los Angeles, Vancouver and New York. While EGL International has locations are in Tel Aviv, London, Hong Kong, Paris, Hong Kong and others. EGL is best known for using "SI3" rating in identifying clarity. They were also the ones who discovered the grading techniques used for diamonds which are less than one carat.
Generally, most consumers prefer to buy a GIA certified diamond over an EGL certified diamond. GIA is uses strict standards when it comes to grading loose diamonds. The standards that they use are the same throughout all of their locations worldwide. In GIA, a diamond will be examined by four expert gemologists and each of them is picked randomly to be sure that their decision in not biased.
The grading standards used by EGL are quite lenient and these standards differ in each location. EGL USA is stricter in grading diamonds compared to the locations for EGL International. Actually, the quality of an EGL certified diamond is similar to a GIA certified diamond graded in two colors and lower by one grade for clarity. For instance, if an EGL diamond was graded VS2 in clarity and G in color then it is the same with a GIA diamond which was graded SI1 in clarity and I in color.
Overall, diamonds which are GIA certified are more valuable. Consumers feel more confident with the purchase of these diamonds but, due to the inconsistencies in the grading standards used it is more affordable to buy EGL diamonds.
After making that BIG decision there are a lot of things to do before choosing "that" perfect ring...
There are different types of wedding rings for both men and women. Traditionally the wedding ring is worn together on the same finger as the engagement ring. Some customers prefer that both rings both match in metal or the shape and size of the diamonds. Another option is to create a unique combination and design that does not match the engagement ring. This combination is now becoming popular because it is very unique. Plain bands are a simpler alternative.
Sometimes the setting is forgotten when making a decision. For instance, a three-stone diamond ring (that represents the past, present, and your future life together) requires a different setting from a modern square cut diamond. To create sparkle, a prong setting is best while channel settings protect the diamonds. A bezel setting allows the diamonds to be mounted while the outer metal is on the edge of the diamond. It is quite classy and unique; sometimes it is also known as "the thinking man's setting." Either way, it is always a good idea to keep the setting in mind.
One of the best shapes of polished diamonds is the brilliant cut, which creates a great sparkle because of its 57 facets. An emerald cut can produce brilliance due to a parallel of facets and a rectangular diamond cut.
More and more gemstone are being used as engagement rings. It can be personalized by choosing the birthstone. The skies the limit when choosing the perfect ring/s.

Way beyond "fetch"
Field trials stress dog-human partnership
- |
- Written by Steve Cocheo
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
"BANG!" Firing a shotgun blank alerts the gun dog and its handler that the trial has begun. Four birds—dead ducks or pheasants—get launched to land at prearranged distances. Then the training begins to show.
Properly, the dog follows each bird in the air and "marks" where it lands. But the dog remains immobile, at "heel." If it budges beforehand, that "break" disqualifies it. After the fourth bird lands, the handler speaks the dog's name, which "releases" the dog to retrieve. The dog returns each bird in turn, giving it up on the command "drop it." Then the dog goes after the next target—its memory of the landing point slowly fading. All the while, judges watch to see if the dog has closely tracked and recalled the landing spot. Excessive meandering around in the general direction of the bird until it is found counts for less than a definite retrieval. Even champions have off days.
"The dog needs to show the judges that he or she really knew where that duck was," explains Rick Whaley, president and CEO, Citizens Bank of Americus, Ga.
Success depends on training, experience, inborn talent, and a strong relationship with the handler. And the trial or "stake" that you've just read about represents the first, and easiest, round of three or four that field dogs compete in.
Field trials simulate actual hunting experiences, and that's how Whaley first became interested. An avid duck hunter, he'd long admired how well the Labrador retrievers and other breeds used by outfitters or hunting companions did their job. Eight years ago, says Whaley, "I decided I wanted to get my own Lab." Today, he and his wife, Virginia, own five: Tillman, the eldest at nine; Georgia; Colby; Reese; and Jagger, the youngest at five.
"These five Labs are our children," says Whaley. The retrievers sleep in their own cages in the couple's room each night. Each of the dogs has been progressing through the various classes of gun dog trials, beginning with the "derby" for youngsters and culminating in higher classes, depending on whether the dog is handled by an amateur owner-handler or a professional.
Field trials, as described by Whaley, are a canine art form, depending on the dog's abilities and the trust between handler and retriever. In a four-stake competition, those dogs making it past the first trial next face turned tables. They are prevented from seeing the birds' landings. Instead, they are released by the handler and guided by hand signal and then voice commands to the vicinity of the game. When they are near where the handler marked the fall, the handler blows a whistle and the dog turns to face the handler and seeks out the bird with more commands.
"That's a trained ability," says Whaley. Unlike the first trial, "that's not a natural ability of a Lab." And handlers can lose control over the dog, which costs points or may cause dismissal from the event.
The next trial involves blind retrievals on the water. "When you start putting water into the equation, it changes things," says Whaley. While breeds like Labs love the water, control, obedience, accuracy, and delivery are the standards the judges regard. When the water is cold, a dog may want to find a dry way to its target, but the straight-line approach is the goal, and they'll take it when training and handler work. Even a dog's natural instinct to jump a ditch straight across must be overcome, if the angle of retrieval ordered calls for a diagonal leap.
Whaley explains that such situations simulate true hunting experiences, when the dog may not see where a struck bird has fallen. "There's a lot of teamwork," says Whaley. "The dog has to trust you and believe you are sending it in the right direction."
Finally, the most advanced test involves dogs seeing the birds landing on water and retrieving on water even though instinct might suggest going around the obstacle on dry land. (The birds float—diving isn't an issue.) The furthest falls may be a football-field swim away.
"The dogs love the sport," says Whaley. "But winning a field trial is a very difficult thing to do." The love of the breeds and the sport bond even competitors. Whaley says along the way, he's received much help from fellow enthusiasts. None of his dogs have attained titles yet, though Colby has three points toward the ten required of a field champion.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (August 6, 2010)—Skipshot and J P's Gusto, both stakes winners in their final start at Hollywood Park last month, will aim for repeats at different venues this weekend.
Owned by Olympia Star Inc. and trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, Skipshot, who upset Sidney's Candy in the Swaps Stakes on July 17, will face eight other 3-year-olds in the $750,000 West Virginia Derby Saturday at Mountaineer Park.
One day later, J P's Gusto, who won the Willard L. Proctor Memorial and Hollywood Juvenile Championship in succession during the spring-summer meet, will take on seven other 2-year-olds in the $150,000 Best Pal at Del Mar.
A winner of four of 10 with earnings of $213,030, Skipshot, who will be ridden by Joel Rosario, is not the only horse in the West Virginia Derby, which is a Grade II at 1 1/8 miles, with a Southern California connection.
The 8-5 morning line choice is Concord Point. A son of Tapit owned by Kaleem Shah and trained by Bob Baffert, Concord Point will be ridden by Martin Garcia. About a month removed from a second place finish in the Lazaro Barrera Memorial on May 22 at Hollywood Park, the gray went to Prairie Meadows and was an authoritative winner of the Iowa Derby, a Grade III. He won by 8 ½ lengths, his third victory in five attempts.
Trained by David Hofmans for owner Gem Inc., J P's Gusto, a son of Successful Appeal, was a beaten favorite in his debut on May 9, but rebounded with wins in the Proctor and Juvenile Championship.
One of his opponents in the Best Pal, a Grade II at 6 ½ furlongs, is Western Mood.
Trained and co-owned by Jerry Hollendorfer, Western Mood finished a neck behind J P's Gusto in the Juvenile. Others scheduled to run are Comma To The Top, Wickedly Perfect, Minutesandtouches, Sway Away and River's Chapel.

Having trouble Try these pics.
OK, the first is my Nemisis (left) as set up for 3D. The Alien Z (right) is set up for indoor target.
Second pic is to show the difference in the sights. They are both using an HHA 5019. Nemisis has a production sight. The Z is the same sight with a 4" extension and 4X scope lens.
Third pic is a closeup of the "homemade" extension made by a friend of mine. Now it needs painted black to match.
Fourth pic is a shot of my 2005 ShadowCat magnum with B Nitrous X cams and custom strings. I'm still hunting for a pair of HL Nitrous minimods for it in case anybody has any. Check out the home made STS mounted where the cable rod would have been.

"We have a Bartow County school bus rodeo every year and we do fundraisers to raise money so our drivers [can] do a course for skills to see who is the best," Transportation Supervisor Wendy Carringer said, adding each year students participate in a shirt design contest, in which the winning shirt will be sold as a fundraiser.
The first- and second-place winners locally will go on to compete in the annual Georgia State Bus Road-e-o.
"It took two days and I just put my effort into it," Gonzalez said of the design, which depicts a bus with cow-like horns leaving the school bus barn, located on Joe Frank Harris Parkway near Firetower Road.
When asked about how it felt to be selected as the winner of the art contest, and to win $50 for his efforts, Gonzalez said, "It feels great."
Although Gonzalez doesn't take art classes at SCMS, he said he takes classes outside of school and works with his father on his art.
"It is important we promote bus safety, you see a lot of things in the press and things go on in schools and buses, so it's very important students [understand] bus safety because it can be a serious thing," Principal Donald Rucker said. "Brandon did a great job."

Trainer Doug O'Neill, a 10-time meet leader at Hollywood Park during the past decade, hopes to pan gold Saturday during the California Gold Rush, an eight stakes program for California-breds.
During a busy morning in Barn 63 North Wednesday, the 42-year-old conditioner entered Thirtyfirststreet in the featured $150,000 Snow Chief Stakes for 3-year-olds, Quick Enough and Scofield Barracks in the $125,000 Tiznow at 7 ½ furlongs and Dani Reese in the $125,000 B. Thoughtful for fillies and mares at 7 ½ furlongs.
O'Neill, who also entered Boxeur des Rues in the opening-day Harry Henson Stakes Thursday, is anxious to see Thirtyfirststreet regain the form he flashed at the end of last year, when he broke his maiden here and captured the California Breeders' Champion Stakes last Dec. 26 at Santa Anita.
Thirtyfirststreet, a son of Good Journey, subsequently finished fourth in the Robert Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita and ran a dismal ninth, beaten by 20 lengths, in the Spiral Stakes at Turfway Park in Kentucky in his last start on March 26.
Thirtyfirststreet is co-owned by Mark Gorman, who bred the colt in partnership with O'Neill and owns him in partnership with Neil Haymes and Sterling Stables.
"He stumbled out of the gate in the Lewis," said Gorman, a retired swimming pool executive from Ventura. "Hopefully it was the racetrack in Kentucky. There was a lot of dust and it was a loose synthetic. He didn't like it. I hope he comes back to where he was before he left."
O'Neill, who named the colt after the street on which he lives in Santa Monica, agreed. "He didn't care for the track," said O'Neill. "He's had a couple of good works since he came back."
Gorman, who was a co-owner of 2007 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint and Eclipse Award winner Maryfield, also is co-owner of Scofield Barracks, a steady check-earner since he was claimed for $40,000 here in 2009.
"He needs a good pace to run at," said Gorman. "He's been a good horse for us. He tries every time."
O'Neill likes his one-two punch in the Tiznow. "Quick Enough should be forwardly placed, and Scofield Barracks is a closer," said O'Neill.
Quick Enough, another $40,000 claim, will make his first start since an eighth-place finish in the Al Quoz Sprint Stakes in Dubai on March 26.
"He ran good in Dubai; he only got beat by three lengths," said O'Neill. "I'm not worried about the Dubai bounce. He's had two good works since he's come back."
Dani Reese, a 5-year-old mare unbeaten in three starts on the main track here, will make her first start for O'Neill since being claimed for $40,000 in her last outing at Santa Anita on March 25. "She tries every time and she likes Hollywood," said O'Neill.
The O'Neill entrants will have their work cut out in all of the races.
Six rivals in the 1 1/8-mile Snow Chief include stakes-placed Woodmans Luck and Burns, a two-time winner at one mile who worked a bullet four furlongs in 47.20 Wednesday for trainer Barry Abrams.
The Tiznow drew 12, including recent Potrero Grande Stakes winner Amazombie, multiple stakes winner All Saint and 2010 runner-up Bestdressed.
Multiple stakes winner Ultra Blend and Northern California invader Lady Railrider head a field of eight in the B. Thoughtful.
The fourth six-figure stake on the card, the $125,000 Melair for 3-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles, drew a wide-open field of 10.
Jeranimo, a fast-closing third in the Arcadia Handicap on the Santa Anita turf on April 9, will return in the $100,000 Inglewood Handicap Sunday, trainer Mike Pender said Wednesday. The Grade III Inglewood will be run at 1 1/16 miles on grass.
"He has proven in the past that he likes to come off a short break and he's doing well," said Pender of the 5-year-old Florida-bred horse.
Jeranimo showed his liking for the Hollywood Park lawn in his only start on the surface with an allowance win over the highly regarded Fluke at 1 1/16 miles last November before returning to capture the San Gabriel Stakes on the Santa Anita turf.
Jeranimo was assigned 120 pounds and will be ridden by Rafael Bejarano.
Trainer Jim Cassidy said from Santa Anita that he remained on the fence with The Usual Q.T., who was assigned 122.
"He worked here Tuesday and we'll see how he is Thursday," said Cassidy of the multiple stakes-winning millionaire, who finished second in the Sunshine Millions Turf in his last start at Santa Anita January 29.
"We had some foot issues we had to deal with," explained Cassidy of the layoff. "I'm hesitating because I don't know how fit he is." The 5-year-old California-bred gelding has won two Grade I stakes and finished third in the Breeders' Cup Mile.
Joel Rosario, who has been aboard Ryehill Dreamer in his last two wins, has taken a call on the 5-year-old gelding for Julio Canani under 115.
Trainer John Sadler said that Sidney's Candy, the 123-pound high weight, would skip the race for a later spot, possibly the Mervyn LeRoy Handicap on Cushion Track May 7.
Sidney's Candy, a graded stakes winner on turf, synthetic and dirt, has been sidelined since winning the Sir Beaufort Stakes at Santa Anita on December 26. "He had two little things at Santa Anita," said Sadler. "The first was a quarter crack. Then he was a little off behind. It was small stuff. He just missed time. The Inglewood is coming up a little too quick. He will work six furlongs Sunday."
The Hollywood Park jockey colony for the Spring/Summer Meet will be graced for the first time by Chantal Sutherland, who has decided to test the year-round Southern California circuit instead of returning to her native Canada following the Santa Anita meet.
"She's always wanted to stay," said agent Brian Beach Wednesday. "Some events always led her back to Canada—that's home. This year after winning the Big 'Cap, she decided to stay. She decided if she didn't do it this year, she never would."
Sutherland, 35, scored the biggest victory of her career aboard longshot Game On Dude in the $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap in March.
"She's leaving a lot of money on the table in Canada," said Beach in reference to Sutherland's career-high earnings of $8,778,038 last year, most of which came at Woodbine, where she led in stakes wins with 18. "That's how much she wants to come here."
Sutherland, who graduated from York University in Toronto with a major in psychology and mass communications, was named one of People magazine's "100 Most Beautiful People" in 2006, has been featured in Sports Illustrated and Vogue magazines, signed as the new face for the Mistura Beauty product line and plays a part in "Luck," a racing-based series scheduled to begin airing in the coming months on HBO.
"Off the track, she is well spoken and a good ambassador for the sport," said Beach. "But she's here to be a jockey first."
Sutherland, who won 16 races at Santa Anita, has taken one call Thursday, two Friday and four Saturday.
Sutherland rode briefly at the end of previous Hollywood Park Autumn meets and recorded her first graded stakes victory aboard Mr. Rod in the 2008 Grade III Generous. One of her calls Friday night is in the sixth race aboard Forward Appeal for trainer Dan Hendricks and owner Cecil Peacock, the same connections who campaigned Mr. Rod.
World-class sprinter Kinsale King, scratched from defending his crown in the Golden Shaheen Stakes in Dubai because of illness in March, is close to a return to the races, trainer Carl O'Callaghan said Wednesday.
"He caught a bug and had bad blood in Dubai, but we regrouped," said O'Callaghan. "He will work here this week, run in the Cool Frenchy Stakes May 7 and go back to Royal Ascot in England for the King's Stand Stakes at five furlongs June 19." The $70,000-added Cool Frenchy here is five furlongs on Cushion Track.
Kinsale King began a whirlwind year for O'Callaghan by winning the Grade III Vernon Underwood Stakes here in December, 2009, and Grade II Palos Verdes Handicap at Santa Anita in January, 2010, before winning the Golden Shaheen and finishing third at Royal Ascot in the Golden Jubilee Stakes.
O'Callaghan said he also plans to ship Leaving New York to Royal Ascot to run in the Golden Jubilee after he starts in the Tiznow Stakes here Saturday.
FINISH LINES—A new face in the trainer colony here is Robertino Diodoro , who has been allotted 18 stalls in Barn 63 South. Diodoro, a native of Western Canada, moved south for the Santa Anita meet and also oversees a division at Turf Paradise. He entered Irenes Jackpot, winner of the Scottsdale Handicap at Turf Paradise, in the Melair Stakes Saturday…New faces among jockey agents are John Valenzuela and Manuel Sanchez. Valenzuela, cousin of Patrick Valenzuela, is handling the book of Alex Jiminez. Valenzuela handled the books of Darrel McHargue and Don Pierce late in their careers before shifting to the parimutuel department in 1990. Sanchez, a veteran on the East Coast, has spent the last seven months in California with 25-year-old Luis Medina, who works many of the Bob Baffert horses…Trainer Ron Ellis reported that Vision In Gold, winner of the Santa Maria Stakes, came out of a third-place finish in the Santa Margarita Handicap in March with a chip in her left ankle that required surgery and will keep her out until the fall. Ellis also had Golden Itiz on the comeback trail with a half-mile work in 49.80.

Manhattan, Kan. - Good scores were few and far between for the 15 teams at the 2013 Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational, as the Nebraska women's golf entered Tuesday's final round in seventh place at 642.
High scores were the norm through the first 36 holes on the 6,265-yard, par-72 layout at Colbert Hills on Monday, as Kansas was the only team to engineer a round better than 300. The Jayhawks took control of the team race with an opening-round 303 before adding the best round of the day with an 11-over-par 299 to close at 602.
KU leads the hosts from Kansas State by 13 strokes. The Wildcats achieved rounds of 313 and 302 to close the first 36 holes at 615. Tulsa enters the final round a distant third at 625 (319-306). Overall, 25 of the 30 team rounds completed on the day were scores of 313 or higher.
Three Jayhawks enter the final round in the top four in the individual standings led by Yupaporn Kawinpakorn, who fired rounds of 72 and 74 to end the day at 146. Kawinpakorn was tied with Kansas State's Gianna Misenhelter (75-71-146) atop the leaderboard. Misenhelter was one of only two golfers to produce rounds better than par on Monday, joining Arkansas State's Abigail Laker, who added a 71 of her own after an opening-round 86.
KU's Meghan Potee sits in third (75-75-150), while Jayhawk teammate Thanruttra Boonraksasat is tied for fourth (78-74-152).
Nebraska opened with a 313 to sit in a tie with Kansas State for second after the opening round, but the Huskers settled for a season-high 329 over the second 18 holes.
Steffi Neisen entered the second round in second place after carding an impressive two-over-par 74 in the first round. But the Husker senior from New Prague, Minn., battled her way to an 81 in the second round. Neisen closed the day in a tie for 12th at 155, still firmly in the hunt for a top-10 finish in the 81-player field.
Jordan Chael, a freshman from Overland Park, Kan., added rounds of 79 and 80 to enter the final round in a tie for 20th at 159.
Senior Katelyn Wright heads to the final 18 holes in a tie for 27th at 161 (80-81), while sophomore Cassie Deeg rounded out the list of scorers for the Huskers on Monday in a tie for 53rd at 167 (80-87).
Redshirt freshman Yoorim Kang carded rounds of 84 and 88 to end the day at 172 in a tie for 65th in her first career lineup appearance.
Hannah Luebke provided a bright spot for the Huskers with a solid opening-round 75, while playing as an individual outside the lineup. The sophomore from Stuttgart, Germany, added an 85 in the second round to close the day in a tie for 22nd at 160.
Sophomore Cassidy Stelzmiller rounded out the NU contingent in a tie for 69th (89-85-174).
The tournament's final round begins Tuesday at 8:15 a.m. Live scoring is available at GolfStat.com.

It's been my dream now, and I want to do it sometime between Jan-Mar. I want to do a winter ascent. Not sure when the best time is. Also, I am not in the area, I'm down south, in VA. I'm an experienced hiker and used to much higher elevation gains. I recently started a fitness program to prepare me and continue to hike regularly. I do have some winter gear and I'm used to the cold, but a winter in the Blue Ridge here probably doesn't compare.
I was considering getting a guide in the area, since I don't have anyone besides my husky who would go with me, and I don't think I'll actually be bringing her, even though I have seen others take dogs.
I'm hoping some people can help me plan my trip. I was viewing the Views From The Top forums, but since new people can't register all I can do is read and not ask anyone. So I'm trying here for advice and information on trip planning.
