Re: Boat Pets
I absolutely HATE boaters that allow their pets to roam the dock or run around unleashed. There, I feel better.
I think some believe that everyone has the same love for their creature as they do and many humans are mentally disturbed enough to think their pets act, think or have wants like humans. Just look at how pet food is sold. Its entirely designed to appeal to the human.
Dogs lick their butts and roll in dead animals. Then dopey humans find it all cuddly when the dog licks their face.
I actually like dogs, but have boundaries.

Re: Boat Pets
Well, besides what you are listing:
Dogs are considered either a threat to agriculture and national safety, or a menu item, or an unclean animal that must not be touched by decent humans, respectively, in almost all of the countries you are listing.
I.e., most would think that the people living on a boat with a dog are freaky weirdos; not a good way to get the locals' respect.
A cat might be better, but is not really a boat animal. They hate being wet, and don't swim that well.
Why don't you pick up something local?
A crow maybe? At immigration, you can always put it on the rail, if someone asks, it's not yours. Just landed there. And they are definitely smarter and more fun than a dog. You just need to get a crow chick.
A baby monitor lizard will also eat anything, and they swim very well.
With a monitor lizard, people will also take you for a weirdo, but not worse than with a dog.
Once you are in Indonesia, you can get absolutely anything: Monkey, bear, tiger, primate, baby rhino, snake, stick insect. Just don't expect to be able to import it anywhere else.
And seriously: I don't think a pet on a boat is a great idea at all.
Good luck!

- Great company for her when she's awake and jealous of me being off watch.
- Customs in Australia, Timor, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, etc.
- The general well being of the pet and the added hassle of it's health.
- Our attachment to it were it to be put down or caged by authorities.

Re: Boat Pets
Just this past year, we met some friends at anchorage and arranged a sundowner aboard our boat that evening. They have their dog aboard, which they can't (or won't) leave aboard alone, as she whines. They will leave her in their dinghy when they come over and the dog behaves reasonably well then. Nice dog, but wants to play.
They come over and a few cocktails later, I let her aboard to play myself. This great idea was naturally induced by the cocktails. The dog behaves well and stays relatively put by her master.
The sun was down, so I had no idea what was brewing below my feet. The following morning, I couldn't believe the amount of dog hair that could be deposited all over the cockpit by one animal that hardly moved around. I was sweeping and vacuuming black hair for an hour and still didn't get it all.
If you have a boat pet, no-shed breeds should be considered a requirement. Wow.

Re: Boat Pets
I have not done long distance foreign sailing; but I've taken my cat with me on my annual 2 week Chesapeake cruise.
The first several hours underway (especially if under power), she is miserable and seasick. It usually clears up by the time the first anchorage is reached or she pukes up her dinner, whichever comes first, at which point she becomes queen of the domain.
She is always under foot. She likes to walk the deck (scares the hell out of me; but an active cat is very difficult to contain down below). She has found a hiding place somewhere that I can't figure out, disappearing for hours and causing a fair amount of concern that I left her swimming somewhere back in my wake. A litter box is more convienient than twice daily dog walks, and provided it is scooped frequently, doesn't get too obnoxious smelling (every time I come below I check and scoop if necessary). Finding a good place for the litter box might be a challenge on some boats.
When coming dockside she wants to get off the boat and go wandering though. I spent a good forty minutes with the fuel dock attendant in Oxford, Maryland chasing her down (the attendant was a fun gal and seemed to enjoy the hunt). But it clearly illustrates that Penny the Cat will not be contained if docked in a marina. I suspect other cats might want to go wandering, too. I'm not sure how other slip holders (or marina management) would feel about that.
I worry about her falling overboard (it's happened twice, once at anchor where she managed to scramble up the swim ladder before her splash registered in my brain, and once while docking when she made an ill timed leap for the pier), and will probably install new life line netting to help protect against that, even though I seriously dislike the looks of netting.
There are challenges; but she is generally good crew and good company and will probably spend many more seasons with me on the water.

SE Asia? Gonna be hot. Do you have AC on the boat? What do you do when you need to dinghy into the laundromat and grocery store, or want to do some sightseeing on land? Your pet will die locked in the cabin in 90+ degree weather. Someone will always have to have the pet, which really hinders what you can do off the boat.
If the point of cruising is to get out and see and experience the world via sailboat, a pet is not an ideal companion.
Re: Boat Pets
Personally, after witnessing several dogs and cats aboard the many, many boats here in Boot Key Harbor, I sincerely believe it is cruel and unusual punishment for the pet. The dogs, some left aboard by their owners during the day while the captain is somewhere ashore, are forced to withhold their bodily excretions for endless hours until their owner returns.
The two boats I was invited aboard smelled a lot like the vet's office I remembered back home - overwhelmed with rancid odors that were trying to be covered up with a variety of fragrances emitted from spray cans and wicks.
If you want a pet, get an aquarium. Better yet, find a bevy of young ladies to accompany you on your voyages. They smell better, look better, etc...,etc...etc...
Good Luck,

Former Daycare worker has history of abuse allegations
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
Earlier this week, Kelli Walker faced a judge again on allegations she assaulted young children at the Sunshine House in Mt. Pleasant.
Walker was originally arrested in July for allegedly hitting a child and throwing her against a wall. On Monday, Walker was given a $50,000 bond on charges that she force fed a 5-year-old boy until he gagged. She was charged with unlawful conduct towards a child.
But, those two incidents are the only allegations Walker has faced.
News 2 has uncovered that Walker was accused of similar cases of abuse back in 2012. Then, Walker was working with the Headstart Program in Hanahan. According to a police report obtained by News 2, Walker was accused of dragging a child across the room and hitting another on the forehead.
Lt. Michael Fowler with the Hanahan Police Department said that Walker was fired from that job, so the families never pressed charges against her.
The CEO for the Sunshine House tells News 2 that all potential employees undergo a series of background checks before getting hired. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is called in to perform background checks and other tests to make sure none of their teachers have a past history of abuse.
News 2 asked the Hanahan police how it was possible for Walker to be hired given her past history of abuse allegations. Officials said because charges were never filed, a background check would not show anything.
According to a background check obtained by News 2, the only charges that appear are in regards to these most recent incidents. There is in fact no mention of previous allegations.
South Carolina law also places a limit on how much information employers can give to other businesses looking to hire. In this case, the Sunshine House was allowed to ask the Head Start Program details on how long Walker was employed.
But, according to SC Statute 41-1-65, the Sunshine House could not obtain information on written evaluations, job performance records and the circumstances surrounding why Walker left the Head Start Program, unless it provided a written statement to the Berkeley County school.
We reached out to a spokesperson with SLED. He tells News 2 that he is looking into how Walker's background information was reported to the Sunshine House.
Walker is currently out of jail on a $50,000 bond. Sunshine House officials said Walker was terminated on July 29.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Using Evidence to Analyze the Success of Microfinance Programs
Every day in Arusha, Tanzania, Jamila Jiendeleze bakes 1,000 cupcakes in a hot, small tin shack. After her husband passed away a few years ago, Jiendeleze struggled to provide for herself and her four children until she received a microfinance loan of $700 which allowed her to start baking. Now, she owns her own business and is on her way to financial independence.
Two thousand miles away in Southern India, a woman named Durgamma Dappu received a $200 microfinance loan to purchase a home. A widowed laborer from an impoverished village, Dappu had no experience handling finances and struggled to repay the loan. After taking out additional loans, she found herself $2,000 in debt. Dappu fled her village and her family forfeited her small plot of land.
"If you read these kinds of case studies, you don't know which one to believe," said Rohini Pande, Mohammed Kamal Professor of Public Policy, explained at this month's Executive Dean's Coffee lecture series, "but what you want to know is, in some sense, who represents the average?"
Pande serves as co-director of the Evidence for Policy Design program which was created to find answers to pressing policy questions in the field of international development. "The aim is to start by thinking about what kind of evidence is useful for policy," Pande said.
In her talk, Pande focused on her research in microfinance, an individual-driven means of fighting poverty in which private companies lend money to the poor without physical collateral. The recipients of the loans, the majority of whom are women, then repay the loan with interest over a set amount of time.
Pande's research aims to undercover why in some instances the microfinance system works well and in others, like that of Durgamma Dappu, it fails. Policy makers, Pande argues, are faced with a dilemma. "Should [they] go back to the drawing board and say microfinance didn't work?" she asked. "Or do you actually try to think about hypotheses, about what feature of microfinance may not be working?"
Pande argues that microfinance is a useful tool and that policy makers need to think systematically about the features of the debt contracts to find alternative methods that will improve the system. Through their research, Pande and her team concluded that the lack of credit rating systems for individuals and the lack of regulation to address market failure with subsidies are the biggest hurdles to successful microfinance in developing countries. "The lack of these institutional features can limit the impact of microfinance," she explained.
John Haigh, executive dean at Harvard Kennedy School and co-director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government, praised Pande's work and that being done by the Evidence for Policy Design program.
"What [they do] epitomizes what the Kennedy School should be about and that is actually bringing data to bear on policy implementation, policy choices," he said.

Cantu '99 named Business Leader of the Year by University's business division
Release Date: 3/17/2014
Leonel Cantu, a 1999 University of the Ozarks graduate and the branch manager for Regions Bank in Clarksville, was named the 2013-2014 Business Leader of the Year by University's Division of Business, Communication and Government.
During a brief ceremony in the Baldor Business Building on March 17, members of the U of O business faculty as well as business student organizations Enactus and Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) presented the award to Cantu.
Leonel Cantu (holding trophy) was recognized as the 2013-2014 Business Leader of the Year by the University's Division of Business, Communication and Government during a ceremony on March 17. Among those who presented the award were (from left) Professor of Business and Management Dr. Rickey Casey, PBL President Kurt Shemanske, U of O President Richard Dunsworth, Enactus President Jose O'Connor, and Assistant Professor of Management and Business Cynthia Lanphear.
Dr. Rickey Casey, professor of management and business, helped recruit Cantu to Ozarks from Mexico in the mid-1990s. Cantu received a Walton International Scholarship to attend Ozarks.
"From the first time I met Leonel, when he was in high school, I could tell there was something special about this young man," Casey said. "I saw a commitment to making a difference in the world and a passion for God. He and two other students started the Alpha & Omega Christian organization when they were students here because they wanted to share the good works of God. He still has that same kind commitment and passion for God and for helping others."
Cantu, who earned a master's degree in information technology from Arkansas Tech University after graduating from Ozarks, has served as branch manager at Regions Bank since 2011. Previously he served as branch manager and vice president for a bank in Arlington, Texas.
Cantu also volunteers as the chair of the Johnson County Single Parent Scholarship committee and as a member of the area's Community Service Foundation.
"I am extremely humbled to receive this award," Cantu said. "I truly believe that we should try to make a positive difference every day, in what we say and what we do."
The University's Division of Business, Communication and Government began awarding the Business Leader of the Year Award in 2003, following the business program gaining accreditation by the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE). The award is modeled on the IACBE Business Leader of the Year Award guidelines.

There's a self-help group that meets locally - mostly East European migrant workers who want help with learning English. I've been teaching them since March, on a voluntary basis. I've helped other migrants on a one-to-one basis, and last year I did the CELTA course.
Can you suggest any course books that provide purely a conversation syllabus? The students are fairly mixed - all ages, all abilities, all backgrounds, and they need "Survival English". I've been told to keep it simple. The students come and go with jobs and shift work, so I'm aiming for ten weeks (90 minutes each lesson) and see how it goes.

I have caught catfish 5 to 7 lbs. It depends on how big the catching flue is made. People who use hoop nets can catch some large ones.

Good morning, everybody. I have been lurking for months now, but this morning I make my first post :)My husband and I built 4 top bar hives similar to the Bush design. I installed two 3# packages May 4. Due mostly to my nervousnes (my first time with bees, no help from a beek), I dumped the bees in an open area in the front and never put back the topbars in the front of the hive. The bees congregated in both hives directly in front of my follow board. I had that about halfway down the hive. The second time I did an inspection (this Mon), I moved the follower board back and added 4 more bars towards the back of the hive so they wouldn't feel crowded. So, should I be concerned? Should I try to scoot the whole nest closer to the entrance? I can already see how interesting this topbar beekeeping is going ot be. Because of my neglect to replace all bars tightly, they've been able to build up around a bar or 2, have double combs on a couple (which broke and fell when I tried to remove them) and are just generally having fun with their new beek :roll:Thanks in advance for any help!luvin honey
id move the brood to the front. it'll make life easier later on. as for the queen or eggs, i wouldnt worry if they're bringing in pollen. i find it a little harder to see the eggs on natural comb. if you dont see larva in another week id maybe be a little concerned. and kudos for going top bar!
Thanks for the help! Oh, to start all over again... While I'm in there, do I also mercilessly take out or try to shape up any messy combs? I'm thinking of the combs that are wider than the bars, coming up over the top of the bar, on the bottom of the hive (fell down and is now getting fixed to the bottom). My concern is that I might be pulling out brood comb...luvin honey
a couple more questions:1. Why should the brood nest be closest to the entrance? 2. The comb is too soft to clip in. It's brand new. Will the bees/queen keep a rotating brood nest going? For example, once the new bees hatch out, will those cells be cleaned for reuse? Or, is there some time when the brood nest is mostly empty and I could yank out the warped ones? 3. Does it matter to the bees if I rearrange their broodnest? I'm thinking of what would happen if I took the bulging, messed-up combs out of the middle and put them on the outside nearest the entrance where they could not be copied again. Or, is there a certain "order" to it all that would be messed up if I did this? Thanks so much for all the help!! Thank goodness for internet mentoring!luvin honey
WHen you say "double comb" do you mean 2 combs on a single bar? And no cross combing from the two combs? If so, why did you try to remove them? They will just make it into 1 comb later.

Ashley Borden Demonstrates Her Fitness Techniques
Make over your cluttered closet in three easy steps.
1. Start from the Bottom.
Store your shoes in an easily-accessible way. One option is to keep shoes in the box they came in, making sure to take a quick Polaroid picture and adhere to the front for quick scanability. Or, pick up some sleek clear plastic shoe boxes.
2. Color Coordinate.
Cut the guess-work out of searching for that favorite pink top and arrange clothing by color.
3. Be Tray Chic.
Embrace the functionality of compartmentalized trays. Separate jewelry by type and frequency of use. Empty paper towel rolls are perfect for stacking bangles.
Tired of having anemic lashes? For Rihanna-esque results, makeup artists recommend coating follicles with not one but two mascaras (one for volume, one for length). To maintain longer, thicker lashes when the makeup comes off, however, it's important to use double-duty mascaras. "Make sure you apply conditioning formulas," says celebrity makeup artist Matin.
Removing your mascara at the end of the day is another lash-care must-do: "By the time women are 20 their lashes are half as much as they were because they wear purely cosmetic mascaras—ones that aren't nourishing—and don't take the product off before bedtime." For gentle removal, Matin says to use oil-based eye-makeup cleanser, and to steer clear of products with soap or alkaline.

Beehive Cheese Collection
Cheese lovers are abuzz about the artisanal creations of Beehive Cheese Company. This sampler includes their Barely Buzzed and Teahive cow's milk cheeses, a package of their signature whole-grain Beehive Rusks and a jar of Slide Ridge Private Reserve High-Altitude Honey.
Teahive: Smooth and creamy, with a rich aroma of orange blossoms, this cheese is rubbed with black tea and bergamot before aging for 5 to 8 months. The result is a dark, edible rind and a rich, full-bodied cheese that pairs well with fruitier wines and beers; 8 oz.
Barely Buzzed: Aged for 7 months, this award-winning cheese shares the same name as the espresso coffee roasted by the cheesemaker's brother in Colorado. The espresso, roasted in small batches, is combined with lavender and hand rubbed into the cheese's rind to give a nutty, exotic flavor to the buttery semi-hard cheese; 8 oz.
Beehive Rusks: Triangular whole-grain crackers made with dried cherries, honey, seeds and nuts.
Slide Ridge Private Reserve High-Altitude Honey: This thick, light honey owes its delicious character to bees foraging on wildflowers; 5 oz.
- Approx. 1 lb. cheese total.
- Shipped fresh and chilled from Beehive Cheese Company.
- Product of USA.
- A Williams Sonoma exclusive.
- Artisan cheeses showcase fresh, pasteurized Jersey cow's milk from a single herd and other ingredients from Utah's unique terrain.

1. Postcards from the Edge
After four years of construction and 1.2 million rivets, the Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937. To mark 75 years, AIA San Francisco is launching "Postcards from the Edge," an exhibition of postcard views from around the Bay Area (including the iconic stretch of California State Route 1). The exhibition runs Aug. 1–Oct. 1. And be sure to congratulate the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, which celebrated its 75th anniversary last year.
Learn more at aiasf.org.
2. Urban Studies
Prior to flipping our calendars to 2100, India's population will surpass China's, cities will grow larger, new energy strategies will emerge, potable water will become more precious, and sea levels will rise. Architecture's localized and thoughtful response to these developments will be critical, and it's the subject of the iCities: International Forum on Innovative Planning Education and Studio Exhibition organized by the College of Planning and Design at Taiwan's National Cheng Kung University in conjunction with the International Forum on Urbanism, Aug. 20–24.
Learn more at up.ncku.edu.tw/2012icities.
3. Oregon Trail
If you live in Eugene, Ore., you'd have to travel about 5,000 miles to attend the Architectural Association (AA) School of Architecture in London. But during a brief window this summer, the AA comes to the University of Oregon to run a short course on biodiversity in the woodlands. "Marking the Forest" will explore ecosystems and what course organizers call "the commodification of the tree." The course will run Aug. 11–20.
Learn more at eugene.aaschool.ac.uk.
4. Crafting a Legacy
Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto, Hon. AIA, has a university, a prestigious architecture award, and at least three streets in Finland named after him. He's also appeared on a Finnish stamp and the 50 markka note—until 2002 when Finland adopted the euro. So it's not surprising to come across an Alvar Aalto symposium. This year's 12th International Alvar Aalto Symposium, "Crafted: The Ingredients of Architecture," will be held Aug. 10–12 at the University of Jyväskylä, in Jyväskylä, Finland.
Learn more at alvaraaltosymposium.fi.
5. Best Practices
Design/build, asa delivery method, has gained more ground in the last decade, owing in part to its greater curricular exposure in schools of architecture. Recognizing that reality, the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) launched the Design-Build Award this year, which honors best practices in school-based design/build initiatives. The program is open to faculty primarily engaged in teaching at an ACSA member school, and the deadline for submissions is Sept. 19.
Learn more at acsa-arch.org/programs-events/awards.
6. Grand Opening
This month, Morgan State University—Baltimore, Md.'s largest historically black university—is home to the new $59 million Center for the Built Environment and Infrastructure Studies. The building, by Baltimore's Hord Coplan Macht and Durham, N.C.'s Freelon Group, brings together under one roof the School of Architecture and Planning as well as programs in construction management and landscape architecture.
Learn more at morgan.edu and freelon.com.
7. Last Call
Improving public health by reversing obesity, reducing heart disease, and treating depression may be a Herculean task, but good design can certainly help. Entries are due at the end of this month for an ideas competition, Active Lifestyles for Better Health, cosponsored by the AIA Young Architects Forum (YAF) and the AIA Committee on Design (COD), which asks entrants to employ architecture to boost public education about health and wellness. Deadline for submissions is Aug. 31.

Swarming is big problem of a beekeeper, quote]It surely is. I cut a wing from queens at spring. I helps that bees cannot escape.
I was reading and it says that you can put a special openning on the entrance so only the workers can go but this would have to be removed for spring cleaning of the drones. Bye
I also saw another idea that is suppose to work but it is very difficult to understand. It talks about swapping things around and making a new hive and in 3 days put the two back together. It also says you can destroy all swarm cells. But all of these methods can fail if the bees make an effort to go. bye
:D Dear Finman,I have noticed that you have good knowledge about all aspects of beekeeping, why do'not you start your own website and let us benefite from your experience. Regards Afar - Scotland

Parenting is Tiring
If there is one thing I hear over and over again from parents it is the common complaint, " I am so tired". I hear this most often from mothers, who also wonder why their own children "never get tired"!
It is ironic that children balk at taking naps, and often push their parents to let them stay up later at bedtime. On the other end of the spectrum is a parent who would love to take a nap!
As a new parent with an infant you quickly learn what sleep deprivation is all about. If it is your first baby you will learn to sleep when the baby sleeps....as you never know when you will get to sleep at night! The word babies and circadian rhythm should not even be used in the same sentence.
Then as babies get older, parental sleep does come again, but suddenly you have a toddler who is up at night with dreams or night terrors or who know's what!! Anything that gets a toddler "off schedule" or "out of sync" really does mess up their sleep cycles, so that means parents have disrupted sleep as well.
During the "middle years" of parenting, it seems that everyone does get a bit more sleep, although parents have to stay up late to get ready for the following day and often wake up much earlier than their children....just to have time to get themselves organized and ready for the day before getting everyone else up and out the door.
Finally, the teenage years!!! While teens are more self-sufficient, they still need parents to "gently remind them" that they need to go to bed. Most teens would like to stay up all night, and sleep all day. Only problem with this schedule is SCHOOL and they need to be alert. We all know teens don't get enough sleep, which means that their parents don't as well.
What about when your teenagers are out for the evening, what parent can sleep until their child is home and tucked into bed? As a mom that meant "re-checking" that they stayed in that bed!! More sleepless nights....those teenage years feel somewhat similar to having infants - totally crazy sleep cycles.
So....now you know why most moms (and dads) complain of being tired all of the time. They are!

Thursday, November 27, 2008
Nick Zito has always taken the time to count his blessings, and he was more than willing to share the appraisal on Thanksgiving morning. The Hall of Fame trainer will send out Stone Farm's Wanderin Boy at Aqueduct Racetrack on Saturday in the 20th running of the Grade 1, $300,000 Hill 'n' Dale Cigar Mile – the feature on a nine-race card that will also include the 95th running of the Grade 2, $200,000 Remsen for two-year-olds at nine furlongs and the 87th running of the Grade 2, $200,000 Demoiselle for two-year-old fillies at nine furlongs.
First race post is 12:25 p.m., and there will be self-service wagering only on Churchill Downs race 1 at 11:30 a.m.
Friday, Zito will be at Churchill Downs to saddle Tracy Farmer's favored Commentator, a two-time winner of Saratoga's Grade 1 Whitney, in the Grade 2 Clark Handicap.
"It's Thanksgiving Day, and I have a lot to be thankful for with those two old warriors," Zito said. "(Winning both races) would be a great way to end the year. What can I say? Wanderin Boy is a treasure. It's unfortunate that, during his career, he has had to run into Curlin, Bernardini, Invasor and hooks Lawyer Ron, who runs out of his skin to beat him. But he has always answered every challenge. Every Grade 1 race, Wanderin Boy has been right there.
"And of course, Commentator is the ultimate treasure. The difference is that Wanderin Boy is a horse and acts like a professional, older horse. Commentator is a gelding who thinks he's a four-year-old colt. I've always said that Commentator may be the only 7-year-old gelding who will take a bite out of you if he gets a chance."
Zito's management of these two veteran horses has been skillful. Commentator has won four of five starts this year and in September, won the Massachusetts Handicap by 14 lengths. Three of his wins in 2008 have been by at least 13 lengths.
. As flashy as Commentator is, Wanderin Boy has proven himself to be a reliable workman, with a 1-1-2 record from four starts this year. His races are well-spaced and he is always a threat. Although Wanderin Boy has raced at several tracks, the Hill 'n' Dale Cigar Mile will be his first start at Aqueduct. A son of Seeking the Gold, he has also raced at various distances and has a 1-2-1 record from four starts at a mile.
The new face in the Hill 'n' Dale Cigar Mile is A and R Stable's Monterey Jazz, who shipped in from California on Wednesday to add luster to an already shining group. He will present horseplayers with the following problem: Can a horse who has not raced since April 26 step up to win his first Grade 1?
Admittedly, trainer Craig Dollase offers a biased opinion.
"We've wanted to run in the Cigar Mile from the start," Dollase said. "After the Texas Mile, he injured his hind foot. We gave him some time off on the farm and just let him be a horse again. The rest did him good. He came back here and he hasn't missed a beat. He's been training great and he looks terrific.
"The one-turn mile is right up his alley and we're excited about the race. It is a great race."
Dollase's optimism is based on Monterey Jazz's performance in the Texas Mile, a Grade 3 dirt race at Lone Star Park that he dominated with an eight-length victory in 1:35 1/5. Not only was the margin of victory impressive, but so, too, the fact that it was his first start outside of California, where most of his starts were either on turf or synthetic surfaces.
There is a glut of talent here, with some proven players. Charles Fipke's Tale of Ekati won the Grade 1 Wood Memorial here in the spring, and then snapped a four-race losing streak by winning the Grade 2 Jerome Handicap in the slop at Belmont Park. Jay Em Ess Stable's Arson Squad won the Grade 2 Meadowlands Cup, and Stronach Stable's Harlem Rocker won the Grade 3 Withers here in the spring. Vinery Stable's Kodiak Kowboy enters Saturday's race off his victory in the Grade 3 Sport Page Handicap at Belmont Park.
Undefeated in two starts at Aqueduct, Marc Keller's Bribon (FR) takes a big step up for trainer Bobby Ribaudo. Bribon, a 5-year-old gelded son of Mark of Esteem, has two wins and a pair of seconds in four tries at a mile.
"The distance is right, the surface is right and now is the right time to take a shot in a graded stakes race," Ribaudo said. "We know we are in a little bit over our head, and that horse from California (Monterey Jazz) will be tough, as will the others. But we have the right situation for us and it's now or never."
With Alan Garcia committed to ride Visionaire, Rajiv Maragh will ride Bribon in the Hill `n' Dale Cigar Mile.
Already a Grade 1 winner thanks to his victory in Saratoga's King's Bishop, Team Valor International's Visionaire put in one of the more memorable Aqueduct finishes of 2008 when he rallied to nip Texas Wildcatter in the Grade 3 Gotham on the inner track. Trained by Michael Matz, he comes out of a disappointing race in which he ran last as the post-time favorite in Belmont Park's sloppy Grade 2 Jerome Handicap.
"(Jockey Alan Garcia) said he didn't respond," Matz said. "I don't know if something wasn't to his liking. He had run well in the slop before. I just don't know."
The final piece to this particularly intriguing puzzle is Edward P. Evans' Storm Play, an unbeaten son of Smart Strike who has won at Aqueduct, Belmont and Saratoga. He will be making his graded stakes debut here for trainer Jimmy Jerkens.

Oh, how long I've dreamed of being Boba Fett. I know the build will be expensive. My problem is seriously just that, really. I'm fairly dirt poor, so it'll probably take me a while to get the gear together to even fathom having a Fett costume of my own.
I'll be trying for a SE Fett, because I'm a fan of the ESB helmet and ROTJ armor, really. It's how Fett is drawn in practically all the comics, too. However.. my questions for the build itself comes down to just these:
Where do I buy the gear, or should I make it myself?
Should I buy the plates and jetpack, or mold them?
Is it better to just go for a totally non-canon build because I'm a girl (I could probably pull off the normal build, just FYI, save that I'm way too short)?
Can I get gear sectionally? This will help reduce outright costs, though probably raise overall cost..
Should I have the jumpsuit tailored, or just alter a gray Dickies suit?
Is there somewhere specific to buy a GOOD helmet? I'd prefer a pre-painted version, though these are notoriously incorrect. =/
Does anyone have specific tips for paints, materials, decals, etc?
Is it more comfortable to wear padding under the costume itself (I wear a padded suit under my other armor.. but I use it for fighting with foam)?
Thanks in advance. ^_^;

I must admit, I never saw him play an entire college basketball game. All I've done is read the scouting reports and watch the youtube clips. But I really, really like what I've read and seen. Sounds like the perfect player from a character perspective. It sounds like he's got one hell of a motor. Hungry player. Relentless player. Real dirty work guy - which is rare for someone with so much talent. Tremendous, tremendous athlete too. 6-11, 233lbs, 21 years old. Great length. Great jumper. Led the SEC in rebounds (not Anthony Davis). Never been a great shot-blocker, but there's no reason he shouldn't be. Insanely quick. Runs the court very well. A three that grew into a four. And a guy that could probably play center here for us. He's got some polish as well. Great inside moves, super quick with them. Post-up game. Face-up game. Mid-range game. Great free throw shooter. Even shoots threes now and then.

Born: February 17, 1994
Position: Midfielder
Industrious midfielder Kyle has built on an impressive first season to force his way into the reserves last year.
The cultured youngster, who arrived from Feyenoord in summer 2010, became a fixture in the second string with 16 appearances.
Kyle also helped Steve Bould's Under-18s to a third-place finish in the Premier Academy League, notching four goals along the way.
The Dutchman caught the eye at the 2011 Under-17 European Championship - where he picked up the prestigious Golden Player award - and is improving all the time.

text: As me and Mikhail said in chat when it was in the low 30's, we need points to win and we need to finish above 90 to guarantee it. We got 14 in the last 4 mins to hit 50 and most thought we had it...but wtf, the C's open the 3rd on a 13-4 run. But alas we keep our composure and respond with a 12-2 run to temporary control of the game and lead by 9 at the end of 3. Yep they came back within 2 with some crazy play by Theo on both ends, but the starters finally stepped up vs the Celtics for the first time this year (the last 4 games). Rodney STUDDkey was huge in the 4th as he and Hunter were the only zoocrews to scored. Billups returned to glory...we hope We got out boarded 39-31, but the rest of the stats were almost even...both teams hit 35 fgs, both team hit 5 three balls, but the difference was at the free throw line where we got them at the line by 6. Assists were about even, we had 27 points in the paint to their 26. Tonights meaningless stats= Pistons were 34-1 during the regular season when scoring 100 pts or more and now 4-0 in the playoffs. Now nine straight game 2 wins in the playoffs. First team to beat Boston at home and first score to over 100 pts on their # 1 defense Six Pistons in double figures Afflolo got in and played 16 seconds which secured the victory.

The Oklahoman Bemoans The "Information Vacuum" It Helped Create
Blog ››› ››› BRIAN POWELL
On Sunday, The Oklahoman's editorial board ran to the defense of the conservative State Chamber of Oklahoma's forthcoming effort to politicize judicial retention races in the state. The State Chamber has created the Oklahoma Civil Justice Council, which will sponsor a controversial "zero-to-100 rating system for judges" based on how friendly, in the council's view, they are to business. Legal experts have called the judicial ranking plan "inappropriate" and an "attempt to slant...the judiciary, in favor of big business and away from the common person."
The Oklahoman staunchly defended the system on grounds that it would inform voters about judicial races, even while noting that the information the State Chamber and its "partner organizations in Oklahoma City and Tulsa" plan to provide would be biased. From The Oklahoman editorial:
The chambers' plan would give non-lawyers at least some information before casting a ballot. The rating plan is an informational campaign, just like any other in politics. Is there bias in the chambers' rating system? Sure. Just like there's bias in any report evaluating lawmakers. And just like there's bias in campaign contributions: Attorneys and businesses don't give money equally to all candidates in all races.
Furthermore, citizens who don't agree with the chambers' agenda are free to ignore their rankings -- or even determine candidate selection based on who the chambers rank as being the worst.
Too often, Oklahoma citizens must vote on judicial races in an information vacuum. The chambers' efforts would fill part of that void. We hope the information provided is relevant, credible and in context. The chambers' ratings system must be a serious and deliberative effort that doesn't criticize judges for merely upholding the law as it's written. Otherwise, they shouldn't bother with the project.
This is a curious argument for the largest newspaper of public record in the state to make. After all, if there's an "information vacuum" with regard to judicial races, The Oklahoman ought to be the one filling it. Instead, Nexis news records prior to the 2010 election indicate they've failed resoundingly at informing the Oklahoman electorate about judicial races.
In 2010, two Oklahoma Supreme Court justices -- Steven W. Taylor and James Winchester -- were up for retention on Election Day. In the six months leading up to the election, Taylor was mentioned in content describing his official duties a mere five times -- and only three times in pieces related to the election. These three mentions included a brief letter to the editor and a long list of every name and issue appearing on the ballot. Winchester's mentions numbered a mere four, including the same letter and ballot list.
Only one article, mentioning both Taylor and Winchester, was dedicated to providing deeper context about the judicial seats on the ballot. The news piece listed who originally appointed each justice and listed their professional resume prior to reaching the bench, but the article is completely devoid of information about the justices' decisions or job performance since being appointed (Taylor in 2004, Winchester in 2000).
As a comparison, James Winchester, the long snapper for the University of Oklahoma football team, was mentioned over twice as often as the state Supreme Court justice of the same name. (Of course, the Sooner junior did lead the Big 12 in fumble recoveries at one point in that 2010 season.)
Is The Oklahoman really content to abdicate the duty of objectively informing their readers about important issues to biased special interests like the State Chamber? It wouldn't be the first time.

LOS ANGELES -- Although Matt Barkley and Marqise Lee both laughed it off, the symbolism was tough to miss. On the first play of No. 1 Southern California's first game after its postseason ban ended, the veteran quarterback hit his speedy receiver for an electrifying 75-yard touchdown.
Barkley, Lee and their talented teammates have been waiting two years for the chance to play for championships, and USC wouldn't postpone the chase even a minute longer.
Lee caught 10 passes for 197 yards and returned a kickoff 100 yards for a score, and the top-ranked Trojans rolled to a 49-10 victory over Hawaii on Saturday night.
Barkley kicked off his Heisman Trophy campaign with 372 yards passing and four touchdowns for the Trojans (1-0), whose offensive stars were every bit as impressive as expected.
"We're just excited to play football again," said Barkley, who passed on the NFL to return for his senior season. "There's so much talk, especially this year with all the rankings and the hype. This was just a good way to kick off the season, and really find that rhythm and that flow."

In addition to Lee's theatrics, Robert Woods caught six passes for 42 yards and two TDs, and tight end Xavier Grimble caught Barkley's final scoring throw in the fourth quarter.
"If we can get the ball to [Woods] and [Lee] in space we can be pretty good," USC coach Lane Kiffin said. "We're not going to win a ton of games if we're not balanced. ... I thought Matt did really well. He's a couple of drops away from some big-time numbers."
Silas Redd rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown on a team-leading nine carries in the Penn State transfer's debut at USC, which led 35-0 at halftime and coasted to its 15th consecutive season-opening victory.
Hayes Pullard returned an interception 27 yards for a first-quarter score for USC, which outgained Hawaii 481-264.
Duke transfer Sean Schroeder passed for 208 yards and a score in his first start for Hawaii (0-1), which realized it had a rough assignment for coach Norm Chow's debut.
The former USC offensive coordinator is a head coach for the first time after 40 years in the profession, but his Warriors couldn't keep up in the opener of their first season since moving to the Mountain West after 33 years in the WAC.
"We thought we would give them a better battle," Chow said. "We made too many mistakes, but we didn't quit, and USC knew they were in a game. ... We started one senior, a bunch of kids who have never played before, in front of 93,000 people. We were all kind of shaky, but we'll shore a few things up."
Schroeder hit Scott Harding with an 18-yard TD pass on the first series after halftime -- but Lee replied with his TD kickoff return. Jeremiah Ostrowski had seven catches for 34 yards for the Warriors.
"They're a great team, but the taste is still a little bitter," Schroeder said. "We have a lot to learn, and hopefully we can study what happened today and build on it."
After going 10-2 and finishing with at No. 6 in the final poll last season, the Trojans looked sharp while playing with their first No. 1 ranking since 2008. USC has never lost in eight meetings with Hawaii in a series dating to 1930 and including the 1936 Poi Bowl.
USC was on target from the first snap of Barkley's senior year. After a game-opening touchback, Barkley found Lee with a 5-yard cross-field pass -- and Lee reversed direction and sprinted down the USC sideline for a score.
"I just caught the ball and made one move," Lee said. "Coach always emphasizes making one move, and I had great blockers."
Woods then capped a 99-yard drive with a 20-yard TD catch on a perfectly thrown ball from Barkley. Redd got his first carry for the Trojans during that drive, and he made a long reception on the next drive -- but fumbled during the ensuing run.
Nickell Robey then tipped a pass late in the first quarter, and Pullard returned it for a score.
Redd made his most impressive run in his debut game on fourth and 2 early in the second quarter, sprinting 31 yards through the heart of Hawaii's defense for a score. Woods tacked on his second TD catch after a long punt return by Robey moments later.
USC led 35-0 on Andre Heidari's field goal at the halftime gun. Lee had eight catches for 176 yards in the first half despite two significant drops.
After Hawaii's only TD, Lee promptly became just the second USC player to return a kickoff at least 100 yards, sprinting down the Hawaii sideline for the sophomore's second career score on a kickoff return.
Barkley played into the fourth quarter before giving way to Max Wittek, who won the backup job during camp.
Schroeder, from Laguna Niguel, Calif., graduated from Duke in three years without playing for the Blue Devils. He made several tough throws under pressure from USC's rebuilt defensive line, but couldn't keep Hawaii moving consistently until the Trojans were insurmountably ahead.
During the game at the sold-out Coliseum, the Trojans paid tribute to former linebacker Junior Seau, who killed himself in May. Seau's parents and children gathered on the field for an emotional ceremony between quarters.

Preacher.....I ran across this and thought about Angel from a previous post you made. It's an interesting what if anyway.............
This past week I followed a young woman up a flight of darkened stairs in one of Enid?s oldest downtown buildings. The stairs squeaked and occasionally popped under our feet. One hundred and three years ago, when it was the Grand Avenue Hotel, a house painter and local barfly committed suicide in one of the hotel?s upstairs rooms. His deathbed statement sparked a national controversy in 1903. The young woman was taking me to the room where he died a painful and violent death.
The building is now, and has for several decades been, home to Enid?s Garfield Furniture Co.
At the end of the stairway she opened a door. We crossed a hallway. She stopped and opened a second door, revealing a long narrow room with a high ceiling. It looked more like a jail cell than a hotel room. There was one window facing Grand Avenue.
There was no bathroom, no running water ? not even a wash basin.
On the left was a small wrought iron bed, its springs covered with a thin mattress-like pad covered in a faded-pink material. When I was a kid we called these daybeds.
At the foot of the bed there was a chair and a small round table. On the table sat a crusty looking kerosene lamp that looked as if it hadn?t been lighted in 100 years. I felt like I had walked into a tomb. The air was chilly and damp in this unheated portion of the old building.
There was no floor covering in the room, and what at some time in the building?s history may have been elegant red and gold wallpaper was severely faded now and peeling off the walls. Some of the plastering was missing from the ceiling revealing the wooden slats.
The room smelled old and it looked old. It was very depressing. It is the room where David E. George, a house painter from Texas who frequently quoted at length from Shakespeare?s plays in Enid bars, ingested strychnine, a powerful poison, on Jan.13, 1903, and died writhing in agony.
But before he breathed his last he told a physician who had been summoned to the hotel he really was John Wilkes Booth, the assassin who had killed President Abraham Lincoln 38 years earlier.
It wasn?t the first time George had ?confessed.? He made a similar revelation years before in Texas when he thought he was dying. He lived in Texas under another name. In fact some say there were two earlier confessions when he had thought death was imminent.
There also is more than one story about what happened after the assassination. One story is Confederate sympathizers spirited him away, and he traveled incognito across the South, and down through Texas to Mexico.
He also supposedly told the story that after the assassination friends had taken him down the Potomac River to a place where he boarded a steamer for Europe. He said he had lived in Europe for 15 years before returning to the United States.
Well, JohnWilkes Booth was a Shakespearean actor, and they say George could recite Shakespeare at will, reinforcing the story George was an actor. Booth broke a leg in his leap to the stage after shooting Lincoln. An examination revealed George also had broken a leg. He was Booth?s height and weight too, and resembled the actor.
And, of course, everyone remembered the doubt in the minds of the public following the chase and capture right after the assassination of the man presumed to be Booth, and the haste and secrecy of his burial.
Why would anyone on his deathbed confess to such a crime, not once, but several times, if it were not true? Why would he lie at a time like that? He had nothing to gain by lying.
George?s unclaimed remains were embalmed by the local Penniman?s Funeral Parlor, using arsenic, which did a marvelous job of preserving the remains. Penniman retained custody of the mummified remains for a number of years. He would tie the embalmed and fully dressed body to a rocking chair and display it in the store front window of the funeral parlor with a newspaper laying across its lap.
A Tennessee lawyer named Bates bought the body and kept it in his barn for 20 years while he tried to collect the reward offered by the government for Booth.
For a number of years George?s body was displayed at amusement parks and carnival sideshows in many states, before finally disappearing. There was a vague story going around several decades ago someone had seen the remains in a box in the basement of a building in some Midwestern city. But, when the man went back a few years later the building was gone. Only a parking lot remained.
If he really was John Wilkes Booth, his restless remains may still be seeking a peaceful repose.

Making her twenty-ninth start for trainer Chris Grove, the 6-year-old daughter of Crypto Star delivered another workmanlike effort in the 1-1/16th mile test over the fast main track. All Night Labor, who led from the start, finished a reluctant second after the winner circled up to challenge around the far turn and gradually wore her down as the duo closed in on the finish line. Lexi Star won by 1-3/4 lengths in 1:44.75 under jockey J.D. Acosta and paid $3.20.
"I always thought she was going to be as good as Silmaril but she was not as fortunate away from Maryland," Grove said. "Having those two in my barn was a reason to get out of bed every day. They gave me everything they had. Lexi may not have been as consistent but she had a great career. She struggled a bit today and that is why it is time to call it quits. When she was on her best she would have won this race by eight or nine lengths. She had to dig deep and find the class today so I know it is time."
Lexi Star is now headed to owner Stephen Quick's St. Omer's Farm in Harford County to prepare for the 2009 breeding season.
A horse at Laurel Park showing neurologic signs has caused Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) officials to place an "Investigational Animal Hold Order" on Barn 1 pending laboratory results.
"We are monitoring the situation and taking the proper precautions," said Maryland Jockey Club president and chief operating officer Tom Chuckas. "We felt it was best to be proactive in communicating what we know."
The Hold Order restricts movement of horses currently stabled in Barn 1 at Laurel Park. None of the other horses are showing neurologic signs. MDA took blood samples and nasal swabs on the horse this afternoon and preliminary test results should be available by tomorrow.
