A Letter to Millennials
Tevya is at the Table
Good Morning, Breakfastpoppers. Today is Monday, February 22, 2016. Our wise friend, Wasp Tevya, is at the breakfast table this morning. He is scratching his head over the love affair between Bernie Sanders and the Millennials. Tevya is bringing us loads of bagels this morning with every sort of topping imaginable. Please join us for breakfast. Tevya has a letter he prepared, directed to all the Millennials who love the idea of a Socialist government. Enjoy breakfast with Tevya and listen to his message,
Do the Research
Dear Millennials,
It is apparent that a formidable number of you are wild about Bernie. Your support is interesting and frightening all at once. Sanders is an avowed Socialist. Your enthusiasm must mean that living under a Socialist regime sounds appealing. I wonder, did you do the research? Have any of you taken the time to review what Socialism actually is? I am going to give all of you the benefit of the doubt and say that you didn't look into it and you are just "feeling the Bern." Let me start off by giving you the meaning of "socialism." It is a social system in which the government owns and controls the means of production. Do you grasp what I just said? This government, which hardly does anything right would, under Bernie's plan, own and control the means of production. No more freedom for the person who has a brilliant idea, makes it happen, forms a great company, hires people and helps it to grow. Instead, the government would decide important matters, see to it that our wealth is distributed equally and use other people's money to give people like you free education and a free ride. You probably have the time to hit the books and find out what Sanders is really talking about. Instead of sleeping till noon in Mom and Dad's basement, take yourself to the library and find out more about our country and what life here would be like if a Socialist were elected to the highest office in the land.
Your Future
Since most of you can't really define Socialism, your support of it is very sad. Is it possible that you all go deaf, dumb and blind once you hear the words, free college? What could possibly matter after that? Bernie makes it sound like life under Socialism will bring forth the basic goodness in people. The Big Government will give you a happy life. Have any of you stopped to think of where the money for all this free stuff is going to come from? Surprise, Millennials, it is going to come from your Mom and Dad, your Grandma and Grandpa and from you. Oh sure, the rich will pay too, but you will be very disappointed to hear that the rich alone can't support you and your pals. You will also be saddened to learn that eventually your life will come tumbling down when your benevolent government runs out of other people's money.
Learn By Example
So dear Millennials, it is time to look at a few hard facts. Better yet, look at what is happening in Venezuela. Venezuela is a Socialist country. President Nicolas Maduro appeared on television for five long hours droning on and on about the evils of capitalism. He told the Venezuelan people how he planned to deal with their ongoing economic crisis. He raised gasoline prices by 6,000 percent! Then he ordered that the official exchange rate be changed from 6.3 bolivars to the dollar to 10. Why that's just a mere 37 percent decrease in purchasing power. Life in Venezuela will now be even harder than it has been with runaway inflation. I guess it's all the money the government has been printing that is plunging the country over the abyss. For those of you who want to see our minimum wage raised, you are in good company. President Maduro wants to do the same thing, thus insuring even more unemployment. Some of you might want to try living in Venezuela for awhile to get the feel of a Socialist country. If you decide to go, pack a boatload of toilet paper and aspirin because there is a terrible shortage of both. To put it mildly Millennials, Socialism doesn't work. Hit the books!
Tevya's Song
Dear God,
You made so many Socialists
It's no shame to be a Sociallst
But it's no great honor either!
Yes it is an excellent example of how limousine liberals (Donahue) view the world through their feelings and draw unreasoned conclusions solely based on emotion and with total disregard for the whole picture, when put into perspective = disregard for the truth. They look at the facts like the existence of greed and wealth and use them as a weapon to attack capitalism when the worst of both are actually the engine of their own socialist agendas. Notice after Donahue tried to rebut Friedman and got shut down, slammed down he was at a loss to rebut.
BP, remember Milton Friedman? The American economist who received the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his research on consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and the complexity of stabilization policy. This guy was a key advisor to Ronald Reagan. Millennials never heard of him but they should listen to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ0-cDKMS5M Bernie Sanders should listen to that interview!
LOL I hadn't seen that! I googled it and it is true. However I have noticed lately liberals do use what they say are fairy tales to prove their points.
Millenial Democrats - are they all this clueless?
Hey Socialist Millenials, go live in Denmark and let us know how socialism is working over there http://www.proudcons.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/1...
To breakfastpop,
Yes our corporate tax rate is definitely too high and that is where Reagan had it right. Lower taxes for everybody, individual and corporate. More people get hired and thus, even with the lower tax rate the government takes in more money. Unfortunately, Reagan's ideas didn't really take affect until Clinton became president and obviously he took credit. But in general, Reagan's goal was to help everyone. Socialism does the opposite, with oppressive taxes that hits the individual more than any other entity. Even the value added taxes of production are passed onto the consumer. Your mention of Venezuela is a good example. Raising gas prices 6000 percent doesn't exactly stick it to the corporations. I remember hearing about an author in Sweden who hadn't written a book in quite a few years. When she finally released her next book (after more than 20 years) her income went up dramatically that year and thus her taxes hit 102 percent. She had to give up the first year of earnings to the government and more! The author was Astrid Lindgrens who wrote the Pippy Longstocking books. This a good example of what you mentioned above. Have a creative idea, try to make money and the government takes it away. Socialism definitely discourages creative thought.
Jacklee I hope to high heaven you are right, but it doesn't look that way. Hiliary is marching full steam ahead and the Democrats know they have to keep the liberal engine stoked for 2016 while they can lead their sheep (democrat voters) to the slaughter or it will be all over for the socialist agenda. Millennials would vote for Steve Urkel if he promised them his autograph...which brings to mind
I remember the comment a german worker made when Merkel was elected. Since she is a conservative this worker hoped that his income tax rate would go down. He said that his income tax rate was 44 percent on an income of $45,000. I was shocked. This rate is absurd and obscene. If I were at this rate, I would have to sell my home and move back into an apartment. Also, I remember, decades ago, that Europe anticipated constant chronic unemployment of almost 20 percent because they knew the burden their social programs had on the economy, but they avoided it by doing one thing that socialists despise, they lowered the corporate tax rate. Therefore, companies can hire more workers who in turn are heavily taxed, bringing more money in for the governments. It's like taking Reagan's trickle down concept and inverting it so it trickles up. I was working at Chrysler when the new FCA was incorporated and they chose Britain. Was amazed at their low corporate tax rate. I know Germany and Ireland have low rates also. The US has the highest compared to most of the countries in Europe
Interesting link, I spent paragraphs that I could have replaced with simply saying Dumbing down America.
throw Common Core out the door.
I totally agree - but until we get a President who isn't beholden to special interest and has an objective look at the education system of the nation, we'll be stuck in that rut. Partisan politics are running this country. I'm also with Jackclee - Republican landslide
Brad, It's called the deliberate dumbing down of America:
It seems like the youth of every generation are getting less intelligent.
Is it a function of our education system and its declining academic performance of the graduates and dropouts?
It must be something, as each presidential election is more distracted than the previous one. Issues, problems, and qualifications of the presidential candidates seem to be glossed over with a simple diversion to a non critical subject.
Whenever a stream of consciousness falls into an intelligent direction, up pops another red herring distraction. This happened in every presidential elections in the last one hundred years, but thanks to technology the distractions occur with blinding frequency.
How does the youth of today that live in a virtual world have any idea of what to do in real life? The youth of the last two decades were responsible for the dot com bubble, and the real estate bubble. I say youth because the conservative protective of fiduciary functions were softened to include high risk high gain mentality in financial market that use to be grounded in slow turns and gains, in order to protect that safeguards were in place.
They eliminated the need for stock brokers, and broke the stock market for example. The fiduciary responsibility that is the foundation of the financial industry was broken by technology employed by the newly graduated MBAs that sought a fast track to wealth. They abandoned the ladder and made a cyber elevator.
Sorry, I have to stop, I am getting jelly and coffee all over the keyboard.
Good morning, Pop...
An old maxim, "What you allow is what you teach", and for far too long now Progressives have dominated our national conversation...Political correctness is the "new normal"...Jackelee has said this is 1980 all over again...I differ...it's 1984 ...
See you at the Inn...Bagels with a smear of cream cheese, please...
I predict Hillary will be indicted by the Justice Department for her email miss handlings. If not, our Republic is in worst shape than imagined. God help us.
My son is a Millenial, and he can't believe how dumb they are. So at least, we have one young person trying to set the record straight whenever he can.
In any case, the Democrats will see to it that Hillary wins the nomination, even if they have to do every evil thing imaginable to make it happen. And then, we will have another socialist in power---but one who is not "benevolent." She will make herself the queen of the universe. All the more reason for informed people to vote the other way. Personally, I just hope we can get rid of Trump. Cruz or Rubio are much better options, as The Donald is actually a Democrat in disguise.
pop & Tevya....I have a complaint! Let's spice up the Inn's menu please. I was all set for Belgium waffles with fruit topping & whipped cream~~NOT bagels. Bagels? Were you expecting Bernie? I left a hefty tip nonetheless. Next time, remember me!
Nothing I like more than a FREE breakfast~~except of course, a FREE breakfast of my choice!! BTW pop, I'd appreciate if you would pay your staff $15.00 an hr. so I don't have to leave a tip next time.
What the hell's going on in this country? Just wait til Bernie takes over. "You'll be sorry." Oh wait, that's what YOU said....Bye now!
Great topic and hub - When the progressive education system in place only teaches (indoctrinates) students on "what they deserve" its no wonder they have no clue about how things really work. Many of these kids don't realize that in a true Socialist society that a high percentage of them would simply become workers - no college, no "getting paid," no sitting around playing X-box all day.
I am optimistic. I see a Republican landslide in November regardless who is the nominee. It is 1980 all over again.
Great hub as always. I wrote a similar hub recently aiming at millennials. It is interesting to read the comments and the poll. I hope they are wrong.I can't believe 43% of millennials supports socialism. What are they teaching these kids at our top institutions?
Pop and Tevya,
Do the millennials ever wonder why they can't buy ANY durable consumer goods from China, Russia, Eastern Europe, Cuba, ect. Their cars, electronics, appliances are made by evil capitalists. Bernie has NEVER held a steady private sector job which evidently shows his abilities according to Marx.
As always, I respect your fervor and passion for this country. We need more like you who take the time to form an intelligent opinion and be active in the process. Carry on!
.....because everyone takes that 'free' public education so so seriously, right? I know I didn't. I couldn't stand to ever be there, and who would unless you were on the football team or a cheerleader or something.
You see so much stuff these days about what some CEO makes somewhere, and why is that even someone's concern? It would be more productive to concentrate on improving the self. It's never productive to sit around and be mad about what some stranger who runs some corporation you don't work for makes in a year.
A lot of the higher education game is truly predatory. You have to buy these books for a hundred or more dollars each, some of them you use maybe once in a semester - and then they won't be buying them back from you, as the next year they've already got a different book to rip people off with. There's some legitimate complaints about the costs of higher education.
Marketing something as 'free' is a lie, of course - they'll only be paying for it later. But it's no big deal, Sanders can't do a solitary thing to make higher education 'free.'
Truth is, I dislike Mrs. Clinton so much I hope Sanders gets the nomination.
Even if college is free, these kids are not bight enough to get an education. I would be very much against their education coming from my money. Millennialist, go clean your room and take out the garbage.
Happy Monday Patti
I happen to have some young friends who are fans of Bernie Sanders. At a recent gathering I had the opportunity to talk with them and asked them to sell me on why I should vote for Bernie.
Their knowledge of Socialism is lacking and their bottom line ended up being that Socialism means everything is free. They had differing opinions about what all would be included in this "free" package. Some thought it would be free medical care and education, Others thought it would include everything to include free housing and food.
When I questioned them as to whom would pay for all this "free" everything they all agreed it would be the rich people. When questioned about what would happen when all the rich people leave the country, they all agreed we could just print more money.
I'm thinking we can blame the highly successful "dumbing down America" program for this thinking. We now have so many young people who think this way it would seem they are addicted to "free". Like with many addictions such as drugs and alcohol, they will have to hit rock bottom before they will change their thinking.
As you so nicely explain in your hub, that day of rock bottom is written into the plan. Ask the people in Greece and now Venezuela what they think about "free" now that they have bottomed out.
Well said BP, but if I was Bernie Sanders I'd be very uneasy having to count on millennials support, they aren't likely to show up at the polls. It's not like the black vote Hiliary has locked up, brainwashed to vote for her, of course she has that advantage, Bill being the first black president.

Key Benefits of our Accounting or Book-Keeping services
- Peace of mind knowing the Books are done on time accurately
- Peace of mind knowing how your business is doing at all times
- Peace of mind knowing that you will be proactive in running your business. Because now you can identify trend developing in your business so you can take steps to address them.
- Peace of mind knowing that your taxes are in line with proper set of Books.
When you own a small business, it is imperative that you keep a good set of books that are consistently and contemporaneously updated. The tax man will not be satisfied with records that were thrown together at the end of a year.
Tax preparation is a key reason to maintain a detailed set of books, but there are other factors at play. It's important to know how much money your business is bringing in along with how and where the money is being spent. Compare your results to industry standards to determine where you need to improve your business model. You should also compare this year's sales and expenses to the prior year(s) to note your progress in the business world. Reviewing this year's balance sheet accounts (cash, receivables, liabilities, etc.) to prior years will also help establish profit and sales goals.
Another reason to have current financial statements is to satisfy a lender who will certainly require them in order to evaluate your qualification for a business loan.
This means that your business needs to employ software more sophisticated than a simple spreadsheet format in order to obtain current as well as comparative data. This is where you have to decide whether you want to do the Book-Keeping (Accounting) yourself or give it to someone who does Book-Keeping for living.
With advancement of technology a new breed of service providers are crawling out of the dark and offer "online Book-Keeping" services. Small companies started the trend and now even big well-known names started offering this "services," They claim to "Data Feed" from your bank directly into the accounting software!!
Going at it alone might save money at first, but if you aren't qualified to do the work, you could end up landing in more trouble. Tasks such as posting payroll properly, tracking credit card usage and reconciling accounts can be tricky. Just knowing which account to post a particular transaction isn't always clear.
We must admit that we have seen our share of inaccurate books over the years. Throwing data into QuickBooks manually or through bank Data Feed without knowing the key elements of the bookkeeping process can create some disastrous results. And those results may adversely affect your tax return. Not only that, but a subsequent IRS audit may result in additional tax liabilities as well as open up other years for examination.
Now comes the issue of Fees. One of the first few thoughts that cross a business owner's mind is "CPAs are expensive." Well, try us out – we bet you will be surprised. Doesn't it make sense to buy the oil, the oil filter and oil change service from one place? Then why hire someone to do Books, another to do Payroll and yet someone else to prepare the Tax Return and then pay additional fees to another professional when there is an Audit?
We focus on the key services needed by a business owner and bundle up our fees. That is why we are both reasonable and affordable.
So check us out, besides the initial meeting is FREE, so you have nothing to lose and a long term relationship to gain. Call us today.

Using the Korean keyboard on my iPhone (much nicer than anything I could quickly find online for free), I am able to type the name of the knot I found, and the name of the book I found it in. Let's start with the knot: 당초매듭 (dang-cho-mae-deup) which machine translates as "initially the knot" or "initial knot" a translation that lacks both poetry and, I suspect, gist. But, searching with "당초매듭" finds us this web page: http://blog.daum.net/_blog/BlogView.do?blogid=0BoQ2&articleno=7147932&ca...
which, after I turned off a few security settings, shows us... a creeper knot! Jackpot!
So, back to the book:
in wee little type over the title: 우아한 전통의 (u-a-han jeon-tong-ui)
in big type: 한국애듭 (han-gu-gae-deup)
in teeny tiny type under the title: 김주현 편저 (gim-ju-hyeon pyeon-jeo)
Which Google Translates as: Korea's traditional and elegant knot / endeavor to eds.
Breaking it down, "우아한 전통의" is "elegant traditional", indeed "우아한" == "elegant" and "전통의" == "traditional". "한국" == "(South) Korea" and "애듭" == "knot".

When they are little and sick or in pain, that is the worst. We used over-the-counter pain medicine made for babies. I know they get a bad rap in some circles because parents don't measure them properly and then things go wrong. What kind of parent doesn't check, check, and re-check the proper dosage level for their child? Crazy.ReplyDelete
Your last paragraph is so sweet and so true!
Like Elise, I heartily agree with the last paragraph, especially.ReplyDelete
I am a mom of 3 adults, so yes the time for sleep does return! My "baby" turns 26 next Monday - and she is visiting us from the States for a few weeks. Sometimes when I'm tempted to be mommy to her,I need to remind myself that she needs me in different ways now, and it's all good.
I'm grateful, truly, for my empty nest and this special time with my husband (and my doggy :-) But in a moment I can reflect and remember those days when all 3 of my children needed me for everything (OFTEN all at the same time!) and I recall how truly special those days were. Exhausting yes, but sweet and very satisfying.
Thank you for these glimpses of your life.
Thank you both so much for your visit, and your kind words. :)ReplyDelete
I remember those teething days as they were not too long ago. Here is to a good night's sleep for the both of you!ReplyDelete
It can be tough to have those sleepless nights but you look so pretty! And Rafael is really a beautiful baby boy. Take care!ReplyDelete
Oh what a sweet little angel he is! Sorry he is teething..but as you say...soon he will be done and bouncing around...smileReplyDelete

What is a Superbowl Party without salsa? Salsa from a jar is ok, but using your own fresh ingredients really kicks up the flavor profile and impresses your guests! So here's the salsa recipe that's passed on through my family in Southern California. It's authentic!
28oz. canned tomatoes, or 3-4c. fresh tomatoes (I LOVE to use fresh tomatoes here. I normally cut them in half, scoop the seeds out and dice. But in the middle of winter, they can taste gross. So a 28oz. can of tomatoes, diced works beautifully. The flavor will be different, but I do both, depending on what I have on hand).
1 onion, diced (I prefer vadalia)
1 fresh jalepeno (I remove half the seeds and it's about medium heat)
1T. oil
1T. vinegar
1T. lime juice
1/2t. mexican oregano
1/3 of a bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
salt to taste – oh and make sure you taste it with a chip because they are salted. So if you add too much salt and then dip a salty chip in it, you're toast!
I prefer this pulsed in the food processor a couple times, but it's totally not necessary. As with all the best dips, this is best after it sits for a little bit, but i normally make it right before I need it. Yup, I'm a procrastinator!
So impress your guests and serve homemade salsa. Everyone will be glad you did!
Oh, and if you're looking for a low carb option, don't rule this out! There's no sugar in this recipe, and you can serve it with some delicious low carb chips. I'm working toward being a Trim Healthy Mama, so when I eat this on chips, I just take my Joseph's lavash and spray it with a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and broil for just a min or two. Don't actually do it for two minutes without checking on it or it will look like this.
I put it in for a minute, flip them and then put it in until I see them get golden. Pull them out quickly and you'll have this! It's a perfect low carb, Trim Healthy Mama Superbowl snack!

After 4 years, I modified my tactics, and teamed up with a younger man who liked God together with his complete soul. I thought, if anyone can get through to those youngsters, he can. He had a livelier testimony to share than I, one which the children extra readily associated to. Medicine, illicit sex, and juvi court had tied knots in his repute, but these things made his redemption in Christ stand out all the more clearly. He was so clear of soul that at the beginning I mistook him for a mama's boy, and a virgin. Then he started telling us what God had accomplished in his life. Our classroom measurement grew, and shortly we had college students ranging in age from 12 to just about 30 years previous.

Product recall programmes are by definition sudden, unscheduled events for any organisation and SYKES has managed product recalls and large scale returns programmes for some of the largest multi-brand businesses in the world, offering a range of integrated services that can contribute to a successful resolution.
Though a client may often find themselves in crisis mode given the sensitivities of the situation, good contingency planning usually means a process is already in place and can be rolled out quickly.
Brand loyalty is naturally tested in such circumstances and we find the key initial requirement is one of speed so that consumers in possession of a product falling within the recall scheme are quickly and efficiently informed with due care and attention at all stages of the process.

Instagram for business
Grow your business with Instagram
Social media has come a long way since the days of (the original) MySpace and there are lots of new platforms trying to get your attention. Although Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin are still the major players Instagram is quickly rising to the top due to it's focus on visual content. For this reason Instagram has become the go to social media platform of choice for many businesses.
Social media can seem daunting at first, especially for people who didn't grow up with it but it's not all that scary. In many ways it's exactly like being social in real life and for this reason there are some key things to keep in mind. Today we'll look at Instagram and how to use it effectively.
Just as you would speak to a group of children differently than you would a group of friends at a dinner party how you talk to and with your audience through social media is crucial. For Instagram the tone through your images and videos (Instagram also supports small videos) is the key component, while the writing or description plays a close second. Understanding your audience is the first step. Are they largely male or female, young or older, higher or lower income earners? Answering these questions will help you tailor your tone to your core audience. For example an online women's clothing shop that sells to conservative higher income earners will use a completely different tone to an online clothing shop that sells organic hemp tie dye clothing imported from India.
Using hashtags is an extremely important way to connect with new followers and generate new likes. It's very simple, just add words into your description or as a comment after you have posted with a # in front of each word. People then have the ability to see your picture or video when they are searching for something. For example if you use #adventure in your post then when people search for #adventure they will see your picture or video. The more popular the hashtag the quicker your post will disappear in the hashtag feed so timing is important. There are lots of 'trending' hashtags and it's important to find ones that apply to your post. You will discover these trending hashtags while you look at other people's accounts but feel free to invent your own hashtags. Have fun with it!
Creating good quality photos or video can be done successfully using your smart phone camera, especially when paired with Apps like VSCO but using a photo or video created from a Digital SLR camera and then uploaded to Instagram will yield substantially better results. As with everything visual the result lies largely with the operator but the equipment undoughtedly make a difference. Equipment aside, there are other factors involved in creating a quality photo or video such as composition, utilising light especially natural light, subject matter, props, etc. Creating quality images is a skill and as such takes time to develop. Practice makes perfect.
How many people see your posts can be greatly affected by what time you make your post. The go to times are between 7am – 9am and 6pm – 8pm as these are the times that most people have some downtime during their day. Working out when the best times to post are really comes down to common sense and a bit of observation. For example if your demographic is in the 18 – 24 years of age bracket then Friday and Saturday nights might not be as effective as younger people could be out enjoying the nightlife. Videos are best posted at night as the sound can be disruptive in the morning to some households. Timing isn't everything but it does make a difference.
Connecting with other Instagram accounts
Being social with other people / accounts is important is boosting your likes and followers. Making meaningful comments on other people post can be a great way to expose your account to other potential followers. For example you comment on a post, someone sees your name and comment and is intrigued, checks out your account, likes what they see and decide to follow you which will inevitably result in them liking some of your posts. Their followers will then see that they are liking your photos and could in turn be intrigued to check you out. Instagram like all social media avenues is a digital community comprised of digital relationships. Like any relationship what you put into it will determine what you get back.
Test what works
While the above information will definitely point you in the right direction there is no definitive formula and as such it's important that you test what works for your business and your audience. You can always go back and delete posts so try a variety of different ideas and monitor what works the best. Likewise try different time slots and hashtags to see what gets the most likes and generates the most new followers.

Regular readers of the Good News Network know about these four major areas where global progress is heartening: War is on the decline, poverty is shrinking, women around the world find their lot improving and democracy is spreading.
Some might argue that the glass half-full perspective stretches credibility: "Only pessimists are regarded as intellectually serious," lamented New York Times columnist David Brooks a few years ago. But in this cover story, the Christian Science Monitor follows the indicators where they lead — without opinion or predilection entering into the equation.
Several other trends not mentioned in this article are also striking: Crime has plummeted, generosity of nations and individuals have risen over decades, and drug use and smoking is down.

As part of our film project about mangroves my friend Rebecca and I set out one sunny afternoon to a beautiful spot in Cleveland Bay right opposite Magnetic Island. Rebacca is a contemporary dancer and it was great to watch her dancing even when the tide came in and the water came up to her ankles.

TA, Straphangers: Next MTA head should know the transitBy · Published in 2011
New York's straphangers want the next MTA head to be well versed in public transit, according to a Transportation Alternatives poll. With current MTA CEO and Chairman Jay Walder's looming departure, Trans Alt and the Straphangers asked 600 New Yorkers their views on the next MTA head, and the results show that riders want someone to advocate for the bus and subway systems. "New Yorkers know first-hand the city's public transit needs," Paul Steely White, executive director of Transportation Alternatives, said. "Over the last three years, the state legislature has raided a total of $260 million in dedicated funds from transit riders. It's no surprise that people want the next MTA chair to ensure that elected officials protect the public transit funding needed to prevent further fare hikes and service cuts. They want serious leadership for these challenging financial times."
The polls, unfortunately, are somewhat self-selection as the two groups hosted them on their websites and Facebook pages. The respondents therefore are more attuned to transit issues than a typical subway rider may be. Still, the answers are telling. Riders want someone who has experience running other large and complext transit systems, and they want someone with the political skills to raise support for transit in Washington, Albany and City Hall. Those traits represent the Holy Grail amongst transit advocates, and finding the right person who is both willing to stick around and enjoys support from Albany has been a challenge.
"Riders most want an MTA chair experienced in running other large, complex transit systems," Cate Catino of the Straphangers Campaign said. "With a public transit system that runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, riders need the next MTA chair to be able to step into our complex system and hit the ground rolling at full speed. Riders want it all, and we deserve it."
14 Responses to "TA, Straphangers: Next MTA head should know the transit"
Well, that's what they just had, but they couldn't keep him.
"Riders want it all, and we deserve it."
The next MTA head should be an experienced large scale bankruptcy attorney.
Why on earth does the state have control over the MTA, when all they ever seem to do is abuse it…? Wouldn't NYC's interests be best served by having control over its own transit?
Remember, the MTA also includes LIRR and Metro-North (part of which runs in Connecticut and provides service to CDOT).
That actually makes some sense. NYCTA is entirely within the city though.
Even then, still need those state subsidies. And if NYCTA separates from the MTA you know those clowns in Albany won't last a second before exploding with joy and cutting every cent they can that the MTA gets from the state. The MTA gets its budget raided and threatened as it is. If it splits into LIRR+MNRR and NYCTA both entities will be worse off. It will be another excuse to slash funding, which NYCTA would not survive.
NYCTA shouldn't get state money anyway, just like the rest of the state shouldn't be getting $15B of NYC money. As for LIRR+MNRR, they should be financed regionally, and all Albany should do is facilitate that.
I like the idea of NYC taking responsibility for our own transit, and if Albany doesn't choke us in other areas, I think we'd be better off for it.
The MTA was created to pool the finances of the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority with the ailing NYCTA and LIRR.
Perhaps subway riders would have been better off had the LIRR (and later the lines that became Metro-North) been kept independent, but that ship has sailed.
Of course, the riders also want the perfect MTA chairman to work for peanuts.
I guess we cant ask Disney for permission to talk to Dumbo? LOL
You want a good leeder? you better be willing to pay up. I guess the MTA as well as the riding public haven't learned that lessen yet, but they will soon.
The riders? Why would they care as long as fares stay under control and service works? It's the state that wants to pay less, while tying such an executive's hands.
Perseption from the Post, Daily News & other media aimed at the riders.
And I'd like him to sprinkle faerie dust on the system and make everything magically better overnight.
:: shakes head ::
The next MTA Head should have his/her head examined for taking such a thankless, punching bag job.

sorry, no cart horses for sale right now!
Facts about miniature horses:
mini's can pull 2 adults for up to 15 miles with no problems.
mini's were bred small so they could pull coal out of mines, they could go where big horses couldnt.
in my personal experience with quarter horses, paints, pintos, arabians, drafts and the gaited horses.. miniature horses are much more willing to please, friendlier, safer and smarter.
Minis should NOT be ridden. Please do not contact me if you are looking for a riding miniature.. I do not support this.
Mini's can do anything a standard sized horse can do..with the exception of riding.
They are great with kids- they are very gentle horses.
and Miniatures are NOT ponies..minis are a actual mini horse.

Sanity Restored
Divers adventures occurred, not least the taming of the sock yarn. Many thanks to all those who made suggestions – they were helpful and encouraging! But it would seem I was 'way overthinking the beastie. All that was needed to stop the madness and show off its well-balanced rainbow of saturated tertiary colors was a contrast picot hem and an expanse of stockinette. Ah-ha!
After that, the loud yarn quietly knit up into another Cedar architecture sock à la New Pathways by Cat Bordhi. I rather like how the yarn flashes at the ankle (teehee) where the arch expansion is, then resumes its subtle repetition on the foot.
Every sock deserves an adventure, so this one went on a favorite hike to the first summit of Acadia Mountain. Also in my hat: water, fruit jellies, and cherry tomatoes from home. The trail to the second summit descends the ledges to the right, then climbs again.
More adventures after I do the laundry!

"If we ask about the cause of the universe we should ask about the cause of mathematical laws," he said in March when he received the Templeton Prize, a $1.6 million US award given annually to those who advance scientific discovery on "big questions" in science, religion and philosophy.
"By doing so we are back in the great blueprint of God's thinking about the universe; the question on ultimate causality: why is there anything rather than nothing?
"When asking this question, we are . . . asking about the root of all possible causes. Science is but a collective effort of the human mind to read the mind of God ..."
But why stop there? If it is fair game to ask where mathematical laws come from, and then how the universe came into being, which leads to the "ultimate causality", then it should also be fair game to ask how god came into existence! In other words, the so-called ultimate causality may not be that ultimate after all.
So there is a flaw in this chain of thinking. If we keep wanting to ask what causes each level of our understanding, then what is the rational that it should stop at "God", since the existence of God BEGS the question on what created it. If one were to answer "nothing created it and it has always existed", then why can't that be used earlier on to explain the existence of the universe? After all, one appears to be satisfied with a non-explanation of God, so why do we pick and choose at what stage to end the inquiry?
The assumption of the "ultimate causality" is not only untested, but also currently a myth.

You're about the size of a bunch of Swiss chard (I have no idea?) and weigh around 6.5 pounds and are about 20 inches tall. Your job these next few weeks is to just put on the ounces. Everything else is pretty much ready for life outside the womb.
Symptoms: So, here's the deal: I have had about enough of you kicking and growing inside of me. I love you so, so, so, much, but I am so ready to give you your eviction notice. I'm hot, uncomfortable, and crabby lots of the time. Not getting comfortable pretty much anywhere is the worse part. I'm pretty much only comfortable laying on my side, which I can't do most of the time. I obviously have to be sitting up at work, I can't lay down at least an hour after I eat or else the acid reflux is terrible. Your dad and I went to see a movie this past weekend, and even though I loved the movie, I was so uncomfortable the whole time. I just keep telling myself to take it a day at a time. I think the constant feeling of being uncomfortable combined with how excited I am to meet you is just a bad combination.
Workouts: Daily walks with Jax!
Movement: Your movement has definitely slowed down a little bit. But, man, when you move, it feels like my whole body is moving. You are getting strong! I've also felt you hiccuping quite a few times this past week. They say you are practicing swallowing, so maybe the increased hiccups are due to that?
Suspicions on gender: Boy.
Food aversions/cravings: My hunger has slowed down quite a bit this week. At my last doctor's appointment, I had not put on any weight. In addition, food still just isn't sounding good. I have to make myself eat on a schedule.
Sleep: Still pretty good. Early to bed, early to rise.
Next doctor's appointment: Friday! Last week's was pretty uneventful. I was tested for Group B Strep, which is a bacteria a lot of women carry and would cause me to take antibiotics before you were born if I had it. Thankfully, I don't have that. One less thing to worry about.
In other baby news, a friend from church gave us a ton of cloth diapers that she had used. I was on the fence about using them, but have heard how much money you save and how cute they are and such. In the long run, they do save you a ton (I guess for every cloth diaper you use instead of a disposable, you save 20 cents), but it's the initial investment that can be tricky. The diapers cost about $20 a piece, but they'll last you through multiple kids. So, the fact that we were given about 14 diapers gives us no excuse to give cloth diapering a try. We'll probably need to buy 5-6 more, but I'm really excited to give them a try and hopefully they'll work for us.

Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars at the Irvine Barclay Theatre
February 13th, 2008
I was one of many who were quite taken with Living Like a Refugee, the debut album by Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars. The disc's blend of roots reggae, West African rhythms and a smattering of hip hop was not only engaging on a purely musical level but remarkably uplifting and positive considering the horrors of the civil war that the band members survived.
Performed live, the music was richer and fuller. Songs that had a sparse, off-the-cuff feel on the CD benefited from expanded arrangements allowing for more jamming space, more building of momentum and more symbiosis between singers and players. As a result, fresh layers of nuance were revealed. The reggae songs echoed not only the influence of foundational Jamaican artists like Bob Marley and Burning Spear but also such African counterparts as Alpha Blondy and Tiken Jah Fakoly, while the more guitar-driven fropop numbers brimmed with the energies of Ghanian highlife, Kenyan benga and Congolese soukous.
Above all, it was the individual and collective personalities of the band that truly gave the music legs. Front man Reuben M. Koroma handled most of the lead singing, peppering both his vocals and occasional song explanations with insight and humor. Harmony singer Mohammed Kamara, lead guitarist Ashade Pearce and percussionist/deejay/dancer Black Nature all got turns at the mic as well, each expertly topping off the ensemble's steadily smoking rhythms on their own terms.
Although the audience was comprised largely of seated season subscriber types who obviously weren't part of the local reggae/African massive, the number of bobbing heads, swaying shoulders and hands clapping along testified to the power of the music onstage. They definitely got it, and those of us who moved off to the side aisles to remain on our feet for the duration seldom had any reason to keep still. Having witnessed the worst sort of cruelty mankind can inflict, this energetic and entertaining group brought out the medicinal best in all.< (Upcoming shows at Southern California's Irvine Barclay Theatre that will be of special interest to world music lovers include appearances by Cape Verde's Lura and the unique global fusions of Pink Martini.

I used Yahoo for fantasy until last season and then switched over to Fleaflicker. I can't imagine going back. It's a lot more intuitive and detailed.
The reason I prefer Fleaflicker leagues over Yahoo, NFL.com, and ESPN, is because it isn't saturated with useless graphics and ads.
Fleaflicker is honestly the best fantasy site out there. Puts Yahoo and ESPN to shame. The addition of new stat categories and taxi squads this year have been awesome!
Switched our fantasy football leagues from NFL.com and Yahoo to Fleaflicker. It's clean, fast, stable, and customizable out the wazoo, if you're into that. No regrets.
As soon as we made the switch to Fleaflicker, our jobs were greatly simplified.

Norbert Oldani
Math and Music teacher at Mohawk Valley Community College, Utica, NY. The below compositions are musical interpertations of works by
Michael Hafftka
This post,"A Collage - Faith", is a sound setting of a watercolor, "For this entity is named beginning; ..." by Michael Hafftka. I do not know any Hebrew at all so I thought it best to let the Creative Word speak for itself. There is no material of my own.
All of the material for this collage was taken from the website: Slavic, East European, and Former USSR Resources: National Anthems, Hymns, Patriotic and Folk Songs.
Here is the address of the website itself
The categories were "Jewish" and also "Russian Federation".
Beginning (Faith)
Six Gallery Press
"Bet" is a setting of a watercolor by Michael Hafftka of "Bet" , the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The setting consists of 12 counterpointed heavily tweaked and edited tracks of Native Instruments samples.
Bet MFedit
Six Gallery Press
This is a setting of a watercolor by Michael Hafftka. As I see it: This is the moment of the burst of energy which potentially contains all things at the point of one single Big Bang explosion or at one of the points of an eternally recurring set of explosions after the expansion and contraction that occurred after a preceding explosion. The sound post was built from 16 tracks of which 5 were produced via a Yamaha Motif module and 11 tracks from 5 virtual synths of Reason"s software. All the tracks were improvised and then heavily tweaked,edited and counterpointed via Reason's Record.
Ein Sof
Six Gallery Press
A setting via Kyma X and a DX&E! of Michael Hafftka's photo of his painting "Husband and Wife". Blue means spirit - in this case a unity with a duality within. The music is a simple 2 voice convergence canon with accompaniment and a seamless variation to give a unified two part AB form. Perhaps if Michael had made another painting like this one the man would be sitting down and the woman would be standing up Yes vs. No, + vs. -, etc. This is in 26 tone EDO with a touch of one of it's modes, the Erlich Double Diatonic. The distorted tones are on purpose!
Harpsichord 2
Six Gallery Press
"MM'' is for "Mh" is a setting of "mem" = "m", the 15th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It uses Native Instrument and Ilio samples of hums of "m". All improvised for Reason's Record.
Six Gallery Press
"Noah's Rainbow" is a mixed media drawing by Michael Hafftka. As I understand it , it is the garment of the Shekinah, the female partner of Compassion in the Zohar which is a commentary on the first five books of Moses. This post was constructed from 11 improvised tracks which were heavily tweaked and edited via Reason's Record. The tracks were from several Akai samples, FM synthesis and several virtual synths.
Noah's Rainbow
Six Gallery Press
"Colors 7 - Long Version" is a musical setting of the painting "The Fall" by Michael Hafftka. 7 impro tracks from my Yamaha Motif module via Reason's Record and a lot of tweaking and editing.
The Fall (Colors 7-Long Version)
Six Gallery Press
"Waterfall" is a setting of a photo of Michael Hafftka's work "Waterfall". It was constructed from improvised tracks - 3 from Yamaha's SY77 and 10 from Reason - all then counterpointed via Reason's Record.
WaterFall MH
Six Gallery Press
This is a setting of "Window", an oil painting by Michael Hafftka. The chorus track of human voices was written compositional work and realized via Ilio samples for an Aka i3000i. The 3 tracks of droney stuff was realized via Reason modules. All this was organized via Reason's Record.
Window MH
Six Gallery Press
"Zayin" or "z" is the 8th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. This work was composed and improvised using Native Instrument and Yamaha Motif samples and also Yamaha FM and Reason voices. It was realized via Reason's Record.

Anton Chekhov devoted several of his stories to the lives of ordinary people; in some famous cases, he focused specifically on unknown, obscure, and miserable individuals. One such poignant work is "Vanka," the story of a lonely peasant boy who faces a difficult life in Moscow.
"Vanka" was written in 1886 and first published in the St. Petersburg Newspaper on December 25, under the "Christmas Stories" category. The main character is a boy of nine, Vanka Zhukov, who for three months has been apprenticed to the shoemaker Alyakhin. Vanka is an orphan: his mother Pelageya died and his father is barely mentioned. The only person who is seemingly sympathetic to Vanka is his grandfather Konstantin Makarich, to whom Vanka spends much of the short story writing a Christmas letter.
Already a specimen of Chekhov's prowess as a fiction writer—particularly his ability to craft memorable characters in a short space—"Vanka" also opens up intriguing possibilities in other media. In 1981, a puppet cartoon "Vanka Zhykov" was filmed at the studio "Kyiv Science Film."

I own a small business which is based on the number of customer i service on a daily basis. My issue is that my payroll is out of control and i need to bring it back inline. What I want to do is determine how many employees i need per shift based on the number of customers i service between a certain time.
I don't know if I should create mutliply worksheets for each week or should i create worksheets for each day that shows how many customers i service and avg the services
based on the how many customers i service i want to be able to know how many employees i need for that particular day and have excel (if possible) show me this is how many employees you need for this shift and a shift could be 6:30am - 9am... maybe if i can determine how many employees i need per hour i can figure out the shifts later.
any suggestions on how to solve this would be great

(AP) SAN FRANCISCO – Juan Uribe hit a game-ending sacrifice fly off reliever Roy Oswalt with one out in the ninth inning and the San Francisco Giants moved within one win of the World Series, beating the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 Wednesday night for a 3-1 lead in the NL championship series.
Aubrey Huff singled with one out in the ninth and took third when Buster Posey singled for his fourth hit of the game. Uribe hit a medium-deep fly, leaving left fielder Ben Francisco with no chance to get the sliding Huff.
The Phillies, the two-time defending NL champions with the best record in the majors this year, are suddenly on the brink of elimination. They'll send Roy Halladay against Tim Lincecum in Game 5 Thursday night — it's a rematch of aces that Lincecum won in the opener.

You gain new turns every 5, 10 or 15 minutes, depending on the game you're playing. To end a turn click "END TURN" towards the right of the top menu, or type number of months you want to end
towards the left of the top menu then click the "GO" button.
There are 3 types of land:
Each type of building can only be built on one of those. Look at the buildings help to see what buildings can be built on each type of land.
You gain land either by exploring or by conquering it from other empires. Usually, the first 300 to 500 months of the game it's much more worthwhile to explore than conquer because army upkeep is expensive and to gain a lot of land from attacking you'll need big army.
You can start constructing buildings right away, because at the start of the game you have some free land. Each tool maker provides 6 builders that can construct your buildings. If you want to speed up your construction time, build more tool makers, but each tool maker needs 1 tool so that he/she can work.
You also need more and more people to work in your buildings. On the management screen you set your food ratios which determines how fast your population will grow. At the bottom of the build screen you can see how many people are working and how many are idle, or how many are required to fill all open jobs. If you do not have enough people for work, some of your buildings might not produce any goods when you end a turn.
Town centers are big and consume a lot of resources and time to construct. But they are one of the most important buildings in the game.
Each town center provides the following:
If you want to explore faster you'll need to build more town centers.
When you end a turn you will see a summary of what has happened during the month.
Look frequently at the status screen, it will summarize your
Once you get a good and steady flow of cash and have some extra land, you can build mage towers to start researching new technologies.

Script: Doug Moench | Art: Bill Sienkiewicz
Inks: Klaus Janson (#17-18) | Colors: Olyoptics® | Editor: Rick Marschall
Marlene insists on helping Moon Knight draw out the Hatchet Man and dresses as a nurse. She walks a path proscribed by Moon Knight and sure enough, the Hatchet Man assaults her. But the police arrive and open fire, winging Marlene. Hatchet Man escapes with her and Moon Knight gives chase into Central Park, where his quarry delivers a hatchet to Marlene's back. As the Hatchet Man escapes, Moon Knight vows vengeance on him, invoking his real name: Randall Spector.
(issue 18) Leaving Marlene with the police, Moon Knight pursues his brother deeper into Central Park. Hatchet Man kills a wino and takes a nurse's assistant hostage. Moon Knight saves her, but is injured in the process. Hatchet Man then escapes into a rocky ramble. Moon Knight unmasks himself to appeal to his brother, but the Hatchet Man charged madly at him. Unable to properly counter the attack due to his wound, Moon Knight dodges instead. Hatchet Man is impaled on a gnarled tree branch.
Moon Knight travels to the hospital, where he is informed that Marlene is in critical condition and may not survive the night.
(issue 20) Despondent, Moon Knight wanders the city, encountering alcoholics, swindlers, junkies, and pimps. Finally he saves a homeless woman from being mugged. She tells him the morning's sun holds great promise for the day. Moon Knight returns to the hospital, where he's informed that Marlene will live.
Continuity Notes: For the first time since the character's debut, some of Moon Knight's past is fleshed out via flashbacks. Obviously the biggest revelation is that he has an insane brother named Randall.
Crawley and Gena put in appearances early in issue 17, Crawley informing Lockley about the note on the nurse.
Moench uses Central Park, that enormous playground for stalkers, rapists, and murderers, as the backdrop of the story. I don't know if the place was as vile as fiction from the era makes it seem, but it's well ingrained in my mind, and I assume in the minds of many others, that if a story produced or set in the seventies enters the park, terrible things are going to happen. And that's certainly the case here, as Moench has a hatchet-wielding stalker routinely killing nurses who dare to walk too close to the park at night.
The twist, however, as noted above, is that the stalker is none other than Moon Knight's brother, Rand. Sure, it's a coincidence, but if you can get past that one tiny issue, this is a fantastic story. We get the usual Moon Knight bits, such as a visit with Gena and Crawley, and Marlene serving as our hero's gal Friday. There's no Frenchie to be found here, but his presence isn't missed, nor is it required for the tale Moench is telling. In fact with the helicopter at his disposal, Frenchie would make tracking the Hatchet Man simpler for Moon Knight, no doubt the reason for his exclusion.
"Nights Born..." is a poignant and gritty Moon Knight classic, and easily my favorite story starring the character. The script is tight and the artwork is brilliant. Bill Sienkiewicz may not quite be ready to ink himself yet, but the Klaus Janson collaborations are truly moody and beautiful. If I have one complaint against the story, it's simply that I find the coda a little aimlessly muddled and unnecessary. But that's a tiny blemish on what is otherwise a masterpiece.
...Which was completely and utterly destroyed a decade-plus later when then-regular MOON KNIGHT writer Terry Kavanagh revealed that the Hatchet Man was an imposter, modified by plastic surgery and implanted with Rand Spector's memories, sacrificed to allow Rand to secretly join a cult, gain superpowers, and plot a way to kill his brother.
Seriously, Kavanagh. What did comics ever do to you?

Climate control technology
How to maintain a controlled micro climate and relative humidity inside display cases
Incorrect or fluctuating relative humidity (RH) and airborne pollutants such as bacteria, germs, spores and particularly corrosive vapors, are major causes of irreparable damage to cultural property. Display cases with proper micro climate control offer the best protection against such damage.
GLASBAU HAHN offers active climate control systems. All systems have in common, that dust and pollutants are absorbed by filters, continuously rinsing the exhibition space inside the case with clean air. By means of a slight positive pressure no unfiltered ambient air can enter the display case.
Our high quality cases reduce the climate exchange to as low as a maximum of 10% of the volume per 24 hours, and thus meet the strictest conservation requirements.

Queen's Plate 153: Analysis and picks
photo: Plate contender Golden Ridge works out at Woodbine (WEG/michael burns photography)
The Queen's Plate kicks off the Canadian Triple Crown this Sunday. While nowhere as significant as the Kentucky Derby, it is the oldest stakes race contested in North America (fifteen years older than the Derby to be exact). The Canadian Triple Crown is unique in that each leg is contested on a different surface: polytrack, dirt, and turf. There has not been a winner of all three legs since Woodbine switched to polytrack as it's main racing surface.
This year's morning line favourite, Strait Of Dover, was a runaway winner in his last start. He'll be shooting for his fifth consecutive win. What's intriguing here is that he's BC bred (Canyon Farms), and ran last year at Hastings. To further the BC angle, he'll be ridden by New West native Justin Stein, who apprenticed at Hastings. There has not been a BC bred winner of the Queen's Plate, but that could well change come Sunday.
Queen's Plate, Sunday June 24, 2:36 PM (5:36 EST), Woodbine Racetrack
1) River Rush: He had a very sharp effort in the Plate trial, winning by five lengths. Found a seam in the coveted rail spot, and was hand ridden without ever being asked. Now he draws the rail, and the question is: was there an inside bias that day heavily favouring him, or was he much the best versus the field? I think he's a legitimate contender, but would be cautious of backing him at morning line odds of 4-1 or less.
2) Peyton: Has not been able to hit the board in his two stakes events. Add the six attempts to break his Maiden and it's not an inspiring body of work. Looks like Julien Leparoux will get the call on Peyton, but I suspect he's making the trip up north for the undercard races.
3) Macho Whiskey: His last race contained a few incidents in the stretch run. He was confidently ridden at the top of the stretch, and looked to be separating from the field. But he bumped with another horse (Colleen's Sailor) twice in the stretch, and that could have threw his momentum off. He re-rallied briefly after the first incident, but was not urged after the second bump. Could he have been saved for this race?
4) Strait of Dover: BC runner looked to be biding his time until the far turn in last outing. Exploded with a powerful late kick and won by six lengths over fellow Plate contender Classic Bryce. Will be facing his biggest field yet, as all prior races were against nine runners or less. Sire English Channel was a multiple times winner over longer distances, so a mile and one fourth shouldn't be a limitation. A searing pace could be his weakness.
5) Classic Bryce: This son of Grand Slam has been game in all of his three year old starts. However, he seems to be edged out in ability by several other contenders in this race. The switch in jockeys from Luis Contreras to Todd Kabel may also be a sign that a win is not forthcoming.
6) Wilcox: The first of two fresh maiden graduates in the Queen's Plate. Fared poorly in his first start on polytrack, but was much improved on the turf. He was able to navigate through a field of fourteen in his lone win. Lacks seasoning, but could be a good entrant for the Breeders' Stakes later in the season.
7) Golden Ridge: Another maiden graduate entered in the big race, and bred and owned by Eugene Melnyk (along with Wilcox). Has run in the money in all three of his starts, including a race at Gulfstream Park. Being competitive at a top level track like Gulfstream is a big plus in my opinion, as not all stakes level Woodbine horses run well in the States. There have been prior winners who took this race in their first stakes attempt. His running style should match up well with this race.
8) Ultimate Destiny: This longshot has been prepping against Ontario-breds, winning once and placing twice. His wins have been rather easy, and he will be facing a huge rise in competition in this race. Don't think he will cross the finish line first.
9) Colleen's Sailor: Trainer Roger Attfield has won the Plate eight times in his hall of fame career, so his entrants always deserve some consideration. His last race showed a lot of character, as he was challenged several times in the stretch and final turn. He was able to find that extra reserve of energy and grind out a victory between runners. Should be able to get the extra distance for this race, and like his upset potential.
10) Dixie Strike: Along with Irish Mission, Dixie Strike ran in the Woodbine Oaks three weeks ago. Finishing a disappointing fifth as the race favourite, she's now entered against the boys. Fillies have won the Queen's Plate, but the Woodbine Oaks was significantly slower than the Plate Trial (both run on the same day). Trainer Casse was concerned she would have a below average effort in the Oaks after running so well in the Selene. Even if she improves for the Plate, it's a tall order to improve enough to beat out the likes of River Rush and Strait of Dover.
11) Making Amends: With ten races under his belt, he's a veteran compared to Wilcox and Golden Ridge. Was not able to closer ground in final stages of the Plate Trial, and his other attempts in routes have been lacklustre. Probably better suited for shorter distances as a sprinter.
12) Big Creek: This Todd Pletcher trainee was well regarded leading up to the Plate Trial. He was a game fourth and closing on Classic Bryce in that race. Curiously, he has not had any recorded works. Veteran rider Ramon Dominguez, leading North American jockey for 2011, will get the call here. Good things tend to happen when those two team up.
13) Washington Dash: This race will mark the first Canadian start for Washington Dash. It's tough to endorse him based on his form, and the public will likely toss him due to lack of wins. He had decent showings in his last two races despite not winning, but won't run better on eleven days rest. And better is what's going to be needed to take this race.
14) Irish Mission: Woodbine Oaks winner attempting a repeat against colts. Never too far from the lead, Irish Mission was game in the stretch and held off all challengers by close to a length. As mentioned earlier, the Plate Trial was a much faster race and it's hard to see Irish Mission lasting up front with a quicker tempo. In addition, the Woodbine Oaks effort looked taxing, and she may not have enough in the tank for the extra distance and tougher competition.
Queen's Plate top 3 picks:
12) Big Creek
4) Strait of Dover
7) Golden Ridge
