Project case histories illustrating Benring's resin systems expertise
A diverse and, we hope, interesting selection of project case histories demonstrating our extensive experience of supplying and applying our own formulated resin based repair and protection systems. With a lifetime of experience and a wealth of knowledge Tony Grimes and his Benring operatives have worked on an incredible range of projects and provided resin-based solutions to many problems encountered within the building and construction industries, repair, conservation and restoration of buildings and fine artefacts.
Bencon 39 epoxy resin helps conserve the National Trust's Upton House Mirror Pool
It had been discovered that the 1930s constructed lining of the Mirror Pool in the gardens of Upton House was leaking: the pond has a "puddled" clay lining to the bottom and there's a small dam to one end which seems built of stone and with a cementitious screed to the inner face, this to make quite sure the whole is watertight. The pond is fed from a small stream / spring at one end and spills through at the other courtesy of a drainpipe set in order to make sure the right level of water is maintained.
Bencon 20 Epoxy Resin used to repair fine 19th century Italian violin
Matthew Wing is a professional restorer of violins and other string instruments based in Walthamstow. This can be an incredibly delicate task and instruments are often very old and of high value, so you've got to get it right! We were fascinated to learn how Matthew uses our Bencon 20 product to fill worm tracks within the body of the instruments that he restores, and the incredible care taken to get it right.
Sedan Chair poles repaired using Bencon 20 Epoxy Resin
Stephen Loft-Simpson is a European Sedan Chair Specialist based in Bristol. He has provided consultancy and loaned a sedan chair for the BBC series "How we Built Britain" presented by David Dimbleby and also appeared with Tony Robinson as part of Channel 4's first series "Worst Jobs in History".
Stephen used our products for a repair on the original poles of one of his historic sedan chairs and although successful sought further advice, which we were very pleased to give.
Restored Windmill at Polegate uses Bencon 22 Epoxy Wood
Polegate Windmill was built in 1817 for Joseph Seymour. It continued to be operated by wind until 1943, when the fan-staging became unsafe. The mill was then powered by electricity until 1965 when it ceased operating commercially.
Earlier in 1952 Polegate Windmill was listed as a Grade II* building of historic interest. Concerns about its fate and other buildings like it during the early 1960s resulted in the formation of the Eastbourne and District Preservation Society.
The windmill was purchased and restored by the Eastbourne and District Preservation Trust in the late 1960s. They continue to maintain and operate it as a museum showcasing what is now the oldest working Tower Mill in the South East.
Benring is delighted that the Trust have found our Bencon 22 Epoxy Wood to be such a useful product in their ongoing task to maintain and manage Polegate Windmill for Future Generations.
Epoxy glass rods and resin rescue slumping historic bandstand
Biddulph, not far from Congleton, is the home of one of the countries' most interesting gardens; in scope they span the world with specimens bought in by Mr. Bateman whose father who had accumulated a fortune from coal and steel in the early 19C; Bateman Junior moved to the Grange from Knypersley Hall and began to indulge his passion for gardens and plants and luckily his wife was also keen. The story is vividly told in NT web sites.
A feature of the garden is a bandstand, unfortunately built on a slope and with precious few foundations; over time the retaining wall has moved, monitoring highlighted the acceleration in the slumping and we were invited to tender for the all too necessary stabilisation project.
On the platform - a good viewing point for guests - was a scattering of gravel underfoot, covering a packed earth base and this meant surface/rain water was able to trickle-in to the back of the retaining wall and so add more pressure on the retaining wall; no wonder it got tired!
So, here's a structure bellying-out like a Victorian lady loosening her corset which had to be saved for the future; how was this accomplished?

NEW YORK (AP) — Eight protesters with Occupy Wall Street have been convicted of misdemeanor trespassing for entering a lot owned by Trinity Church a month after the Zucotti Park encampment was dismantled.
A judge in state Supreme Court in Manhattan found the protesters guilty Monday after a week-long bench trial. One of the defendants was also convicted of two other misdemeanors, attempted criminal mischief and attempted criminal possession of burglar's tools.
The defendants had been charged after a Dec. 17 incident when protesters scaled a chain-link fence or crawled under it to get to a lot to use it as a new camp site.
The original camp in Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan was shut down in November. Protesters had wanted church officials to let them occupy the church-owned property but were refused.

At the Lions of Michigan Service Foundation annual meeting held in Gaylord, Michigan on July 20th, 1996 Bob Larson, founder, president and coordinator of the Northwoods AirLifeline was presented the Service Foundation 1996 Humanitarian Award. That award was very much appreciated by Bob Larson. In 1996, it became obvious that a hangar was going to be required for storing planes and enable an emergency flight to make a rapid and safe takeoff. Bob Larson indicated a heated hangar would be needed to keep planes parked in so they would be ready for a trip at any time (weather permitting).
The hangar building was specified and a cost estimate was prepared. The proposed cost was approx. $150,000. With this estimate in hand, Lions International was contacted for the possibility of obtaining a Grant. Lions International did agree that a Grant would be possible if the local area and MD10 could raise $75,000 to match a Grant of $75,000 from Lions International. With the matching funds from MD10 and other local sources completed and proven possible, the Grant of $75,000 was approved.
At the MD 10 Convention in 1998, the hangar project was approved as a Lions project. At that time the Engineering and design was completed by donated Engineering time by Engineers from Cliffs Engineering Services located in Ishpeming Mi. Drawings and specifications were prepared to obtain permits and bid proposals. With the proposed cost of the building in hand and the cost not exceeding the original $150,000, we were instructed to began releasing contracts to get the building started. The first order was for the building. The order went to American Builders and in turn we had to wait for approved plans before final foundation design and work could be started.
The building design was supplied by American Builders. Once the foundation requirements were known. Cliffs Engineers completed the site plan and foundation design.
Bids were requested for the 700 yds. of fill required. Building foundation design and anchor bolt design were completed by Cliffs Engineers. Drawings and specifications were sent out for bid. The same process was done for the Electrical, Mechanical, and the Structural.
As the bids were received and reviewed , it became very apparent that we had contractors that were interested in helping the Northwoods AirLifeline Hangar project become a success. We began seeing a lot of material and time being donated. Due to the late approval date from the MD10 Lions, the building was initially scheduled for a late November delivery. As we worked on this, we did get an early November delivery, and we needed every good day of weather we could get. November and early December did prove to be mild with very little precipitation.
The hangar project was completed in early 1999 and the hangar was heated and available for plane storage by January 1999. The cost of the project did come within the $150,000 proposed budget. Due to additional funds being available, the bathroom and rest area were also completed, bringing the total project cost to $156,295.
There were donations of materials and "in kind" labor totaling $44,617. The total final value for the hangar was $200,900. The hangar has proven to be a success. The hangar is now able to store 5 planes that are ready at a moments notice to fly a mission.
The above details of the hangar project were provided by Clarence Rivers, the project coordinator for the hangar. Clarence gave an untiring commitment to the project, following it until it was completed. NWALL, as well as his family and friends, will forever miss his "can do attitude". We lost Clarence on November 14, 2002. He left us while doing one of his favorite past times, getting ready for deer hunting at his camp. NWALL will always hold Clarence in special memory for his commitment to our cause.

Next up was Cusco to aclimatise to the dizzying heights of the Andes and take in a bit of the oul' Machu Picchu. It could have been the altitude, but Cusco took my breath away. The dignified brown brick buildings - the finest examples of colonial architecture in Peru - interlace elegantly with perfectly crafted Incan stone walls. A wander down a narrow cobbled alley could take you up to Plaza San Blas to hang with the hippies playing music and selling bracelets, or to the main market bulging with fruits, meats, and a whole row each dedicated to chocolate and potatoes (my kind of market). Every day there seemed to be some kind of festival or parade in the main Plaza de Armas, and the nightlife was a force to be reckoned with (more reggae, of course, but here it was mostly live). Cusco is definitely a place I could see myself getting stuck into for a while.
But I was a girl with a mission, and so after a few days living the high life, I was off on a 4-day Salkantay trek, destination: Machu Picchu. Now, I can understand the logical problems some people may have with trekking: "I´d like to go to Point A please. But I want to be left dozens of miles away, spend days walking there, and pay you to do so." But to those with this line of thinking, I offer the following counterargument:
Some of this:
Oh, and maybe a bit of this:
And this, my friends, is why I adore trekking. We started in the valley at the base of the sacred Salkantay volcano, and climbed 1000 metres in the first 3 hours (no small feat with small feet). Once we reached 4,600 metres, we crossed through the Pass and made our way down through the valley. By the end of the day we were at the cusp of the jungle, having crossed from glacier to high grassland. That didn´t mean it was any warmer camping that night; we awoke to a tent encrusted with ice in the morning. Well, they do say camping is in-tents....
The next day we trekked 8 hours along the Salkantay River, through jungle, and finished up the evening with a dip in the Santa Teresa hot springs and a good old-fashioned bonfire at the campsite. Spirits were high among the trekkers, but revelling had to be somewhat curtailed, as the next morning we were up early for another 7 hours of trekking. This brought us into the park of Machu Picchu, and after lunch we followed the railroad tracks that lead up to Aguas Calientes, the nearest town to the ruins. It was as though we were sneaking in the back door, seeing a side of the mountain that no one else gets to see (well, except for all the other people doing the Salkantay trek I suppose...). As we marched ever forward and the imposing mountain of Machu Picchu itself towered above us, I have to say I got a bit misty-eyed; it was easy to see why the Incas chose this location as the site of their religious procedures.
That evening was spent in Aguas Calientes, a purpose-built town in constant anticipation of seeing one of the wonders of the world the following morning. It was Peruvian Independence Day while we were there, but there was little revelry amongst the hikers preparing for the early rise the next morning, so after a quiet toast with some Cusqueña we headed back to the hostel for some kip.
4:30 the next morning found us queuing, very much bleary-eyed, with the hordes of other trekkers waiting to board the buses, and then again at the gates of Machu Picchu (the one downside of the Salkantay is you don't get to hike into the site in the morning like you do on the Inca Trail, but then again I also saved a few hundred quid and didn't have to book it half a year in advance). We bustled our way in, rounded the corner, and there it was: the quintessential Machu Picchu shot of the ruins with Huana Picchu in the background, fuzzy around the edges in the sunrise loam.
It was a bit surreal, just sitting there all ruiny, the Machu Picchu, the one in all the pictures, the one that we had been hiking for the last three days to reach, the name that had been on the tip every tongue we met so that it had become almost a mantra, and the trek almost a pilgrimage; here it was right in front of us, all around us, just our little group of four, our guide, and the majestic remains of one of the most powerful empires in human history...and the thousands of tourists that were rapidly flooding in behind us. With this in mind, our guide whisked us around the major sites as fast as he could, leading us up the steps, down the steps, left and right and through crevasses before the place filled up and became unnavigable. It got a bit whirlwind and the most impressive sites more like boxes to be ticked than marvels to be admired, but at least we got to see them before the swarms covered them up.
After our hasty tour, I had to leg it over to the entrance of Huana Picchu, the mountain always lumbering in the background of photos of the ruins. The amount of people allowed to climb this each day was always limited, but due to recent legislation entrance is even more restricted: only 200 pre-booked tickets are released for the morning, and 200 for the afternoon. This restriction meant that it was a lot less chaotic as I scrambled up the thousands of steps to the top, and I was able to catch a few solitary moments observing Machu Picchu from above.
Four days, many miles, and several blisters, and oh so very worth it.
Of course, never one to be sensible about things, the day after I arrived back in Cusco I was on my way to Arequipa and off on another trek, this time to the bottom of Colca Canyon and back up again. I guess some of us never learn...

From Motor Torque:
The theme of the ad centres on a group of fed-up office workers one Monday morning. One worker though goes on a one-man mission to cheer up his colleagues.
Speaking in a thick Jamaican accent, the employee looks on the brighter side of life, imparting his wisdom on all who approach him – even his boss.
However Volkswagen is bracing itself for a racism storm before the ad has even aired.
The commercial is currently available to view on YouTube, with a number of commentators questioning Volkswagen's decision to film a heavyset white man talking in a stereotypical Jamaican accent.
What do you think?

iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Cause a Stir by Omission
The new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus were released this month with more buzz about what the phones do not have than what they include. That's unfortunate, because the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus include some noteworthy additions.
What's causing all the commotion?
The phones do not include a headphone jack.
What?! How will we listen to our tunes?

I think she is a good choice, a diffrent choice, but I like that. I have liked her acting and her for many years, she was the only good thing about that abomination "Judge Dredd".
This is going to be like the Spiderman relaunch I don't know if I am going to see in the the theaters. Have to wait for the trailers to start cropping up….
Hottest Ma Kent Ever!
But won't it be weird if Ma Kent ends up being hotter than Lois Lane?
Insert GILF joke here.
Diane Lane needs to be put on the Attractive Celebrity topic on the forums. I second hfff … HOTTEST MA KENT EVER!
Seriously ^^^^^ HOTTEST Ma KENT EVER.
No, seriously: HOTTEST. MA. KENT. EVER!
Wow … that's like … the hottest Ma Kent … EVER …

The Ties that Bind: Capitalizing on the Existing Social Fabric in Public Housing to Revitalize Neighborhoods and Avoid Displacement in Panama City, Panama
Governmentally sponsored gentrification,' by way of the demolition of public housing projects leaves many of the world's poor out in the cold, with absolutely no opportunity to enjoy the purported benefits of pending development. From Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Atlanta, Georgia, neighborhoods established by governments as public housing projects or abandoned as slums have been transformed into new havens for the affluent, with promises of affordable housing for those displaced ringing hollow in the background. This means that those unfortunate enough to dwell on government land are fighting a growing battle against displacement. Moreover, they are fighting to preserve the valuable social fabric of their communities.Many champions of gentrification point out that it pours important economic resources into neighborhoods in disrepair. With regard to public housing specifically, proponents of this kind of demolition exploit horrifying crime statistics and living conditions as evidence of the need for complete overhauls. Unfortunately, these narrow analyses fail to appreciate the value of preserving community identity as a tool to facilitate community improvement.

|Ready to go
|Going up!
While Sue was off doing Route 66 with her Chopper Bike I was building the other new Evolution set, the Mini Digger. I will not hide the fact that I like this one. I first saw it at the London Toy Fair and got to handle and photograph it. This little set features the new digger bucket that will also be included in the 'Rubber Duck' set, due later this year. Included in this set is one of the new tri-axle worms and a couple of the geared mini strips.
|Looking the part and ready to work
The build
Very easy, straightforward build nothing much to say other than the screwed rods inside the simulated 'hydraulic rams' have to be tightened with some force to make the whole thing solid. The mechanism works well once the slack has been 'wound' out; an extra washer on the worm shaft will take up some of this slack.
|The neat worm drive
Over all a very pleasing model and the smallest of the range so far. Like Sue is doing with here Chopper Bike I am off to build the alternative model...

FORT LEAVENWORTH — Thirty-five members of a military police unit at Fort Leavenworth soon will be guarding prisoners at a U.S. military installation in Kuwait.
The soldiers are members of the Army's 705th Military Police Internment and Resettlement Battalion. The Leavenworth Times reported they are leaving in stages after a deployment ceremony Monday at the northeastern Kansas Army post.
The soldiers will operate a detention facility that holds U.S. military personnel at Camp Arifjan, a large U.S. base located about 40 miles from Kuwait City. The Navy has been operating the detention facility for 10 years.
The soldiers are scheduled to be gone for nine months. Maj. Kenneth Scillieri, who will be the facility commander during the deployment, said the detention center will operate similar to a U.S. prison.

Work with Levels in Gimp (tip)
To quickly adjust highlights and tone of an image we can use Levels tool.
Open an image in Gimp and then to access level tools we will click Tools -> Color Tools -> Level.
Then if we want to work with level curves we will click on Edit these Settings as Curves button.
When processing an image the idea is to obtain an S curve that looks good, without blowing out image with too much white and without black/too dark areas.
Note: The same tool can be accessed from Colors -> Levels submenu.
Gimp level tool is very useful for image processing.
Scale image with Gimp (tip)
You already know about Gimp, the best free, open source photo editing app.
If you want to know how to scale an image in Gimp, here's a quick how to.
1. Load your image in Gimp. If you are in Windows you will open the file using Gimp menu. If you are in Linux you might just run from command line: gimp photo.jpg. Yeah gimp knows command line parameters.
2. Scale the image by clicking: Image -> Scale Image. Choose a new width or height and press Scale.
3. This step is optional. If you've scaled down the image and you are not happy with image sharpness, go to Filters -> Enhance -> Unsharp Mask. This will make your image sharper. Adjust parameters according to your need, if the image is too sharp, lower down Amount parameter.
4. Save the image by clicking File -> Save as menu option.
Tip: If you scale down an image you might want to apply a little sharp effect to that scaled down image. If you scale up (enlarge) the image you might want to apply a little blur effect. That's the recommended approach to scaling images.
Save Selection to File in Gimp (tip)
Gimp is a very useful photo/image editing tool. The best thing is that it's free. Second best thing is that it's available on many platforms from Windows, OSX to Linux and FreeBSD (and other platforms).
Let's say we have a selection from an image and we want to save that selection to a new image.
This task is very simple, so we will:
1. Select the part of the image we want to save using Gimp select tool.
2. Copy the selection by clicking Edit -> Copy (submenu).
3. Past the selection to a new file by clicking Edit -> Paste as -> New Image. Then we choose the image name and press ok.
If you want to know more about Gimp here is a Quick introduction to Gimp.

Prep football: Fostoria All-Star prep in full swing
By ANDY WOLF
FOSTORIA — When time is limited, it's always best to keep it simple.
That's the approach being taken by the coaches of the 31st Annual East-West All-Star Game sponsored by the Fostoria Athletic Boosters as noted in a press conference Monday night.
The game will take place Saturday at 7 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.
Van Buren's Kevin Shoup will coach the West team and Sandusky Perkins' Jason Ziegler will call the shots for the East.
"It's all about the experience of getting those kids out there and playing physical football," Ziegler said.
"They are the best of the best and it's going to be fun coaching them."
The two squads met Monday to take photos and get acquainted with each other. Practices are set to begin today.
"You've been playing against a lot of these guys for years and now you get an opportunity to come together as teammates," Van Buren assistant coach Ryan Hite said, filling in for Shoup, who was unable to attend the press conference. "For most of these guys, it's going to be one the last times they'll pad up. It's going to be a great way to send off some of these seniors."
At Monday's photo session, the coaches increased their knowledge of players' familiarity with various positions to draw up a simple strategy.
"We've got a lot of athletes," Hite said. "We're looking to use guys in ways that they've worked before. We're also trying to platoon as much as possible and get everybody out there."
Due to limited roster sizes, Hite expects everyone to be utilized to the best of their ability without trying any trickery.
"A lot of these guys are used to playing two ways," Hite said. "We're excited to see what practice shows. We're going to maximize their efforts with the limited amount of practice that we get."
Even though the game is a fun exhibition, Ziegler expects nothing but competitiveness from the bunch he has assembled.
"As a coaching staff, we talked about getting kids that were leaders," Zielger said. "In the grand scheme of things, you're competing and you want to win. … They aren't going out there for a walk in the park. They're just winners."
Ziegler said his offense will be spread-based, looking to get the ball to multiple targets.
Though Ziegler isn't doubting the ability of his roster, he is more concerned about keeping the verbiage of his plays simple.
"We have plays at Perkins where our kids know exactly what to do," Ziegler said regarding terminology of play calling. "Because you have so many guys from different backgrounds, we're going just say you're going to come off the ball and drive the guy 10 yards down the road."
Hite said he expects to see his squad's roster to iron out and fall into place over the next few days.
"We're still trying to figure out what we're doing at quarterback," he said. "We've only got a few true running backs and a bunch of receivers.
"We'll get something going and play to our strengths. We want to make it simple and still have some fun out there."

Featured Pet Insurance Review – Bull headed Bull dog
10/10 Bull headed Bull dog
My 3yr Old, Olde English Bull Dogs love to run the fence line with the neighbors Doberman in doing so he ran so hard he tore his ACL. Almost $3000 after all was said and done. I am so happy i had pet insurance or I would still be making credit card payments. Trupanion came through in about a week and paid the 90% my policy calls for. I was actually surprised how fast they paid,and all it took was faxing a simple form my vet filled out for me. the saving from this one incident will pay his pet insurance for almost the next 5 years.

[Don't have $2K? Hey, it's "basic health care," so you're covered! More below …]
First "Right to Die" Clinic Opens in California
by Leslie Eastman
…The proprietor of that new facility, Dr. Lonny Shavelson, reviews the services legally available under the state's End of Life Options Act.
…[H]his new business, Bay Area End of Life Options, will particularly help those who cannot find a doctor to participate in the law.
…Shavelson plans to consult with patients who are either requesting or considering ending their lives, as well as with physicians participating in the law. Medicare will now pay for patients' end-of-life-care discussions with a physician or other licensed caregiver — about $83 for the first half-hour and $75 for the second half-hour. But the federal program will not pay for physician aid-in-dying costs.
So the Berkeley doctor is charging $200 for an initial patient evaluation. If the patient does not qualify, or needs better end of life care, or to talk more with their doctors, the process will stop there. For those who do qualify and want to continue on, there is another $1,800 fee to cover the cost of more detailed evaluations and visits, and forms related to the law. A few medical professionals contacted by this newspaper said the combined amount did not seem exorbitant given the number of times the patient might be meeting with the doctor.
In fact, there may be many physicians who are not up for ending the lives of their patients.
Medical director Thomas Strouse, with UCLA's Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital, is part of a team that included ethicists and chaplains. Within the system were many challenges, including pushback from some doctors.
"They say I went to the medical school to cure, and I would not want to participate in writing a lethal prescription," he said.
Doctors are not required to participate and some religious-based healthcare systems can and have opted out.
[… But there's double indemnity for insurance companies. Health insurance covers the "treatment," and life insurance MUST pay out!]
New death with dignity law gives terminally ill patients a choice
June 9, 2016
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The End of Life Option Act, Assembly Bill X2-15 (Eggman), goes into effect today. Passed by the Legislature, signed by Governor Brown, and supported by Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, the Death with Dignity law allows patients of sound mind who are suffering from a terminal illness and meet certain qualifications to request aid-in-dying medication.
"Terminally ill patients in California now have a choice when facing end-of-life decisions and do not have to worry that the choice will cause them to lose their life or health insurance or annuity policy," said Commissioner Jones. "Many of the health care services someone would seek at the end of life under the new law are considered basic health care services that are required to be covered in most health insurance policies sold today. Existing law also requires many health insurance plans to cover all FDA approved outpatient prescription drugs, so I expect that many health insurance policies and health plans will cover drugs that physicians may prescribe to patients for aid-in-dying. This law will make it possible for those who meet the protections in the new law to have the option to obtain a prescription for an aid-in-dying drug from their physician."
When Jones served in the State Assembly, he co-authored with Assemblywoman Patty Berg AB 374 of 2007, an earlier aid-in-dying bill. At the time, Jones recounted his own experience taking care of his terminally ill grandfather. His grandfather was suffering from the end stages of terminal cancer. His grandfather wanted, but could not, end his life with dignity on his own terms.
Some insurance questions have been raised about the new California law, including how the new law might affect consumers and their loved ones. Under the new law, if a terminally ill Californian, who meets the criteria in the law, chooses to take the medication to end their own life, the law is clear that this is not a suicide, so life insurance policy exclusions for suicide do not apply. Consumers and their families with questions regarding the new law or its application are encouraged to contact the department online or toll free at 1-800-927-4357.

Elizabeth Schetman '13
I spent my Junior Fall semester in Rome, studying on Trinity College's Rome Campus. Rome is an incredibly unique city in it's fusion of rich history and classical antiquity with all of the resources and developments of a modern society. I loved getting to know the city and Italian culture, and living there for three and a half months allowed me to establish a routine that made me feel like a local and made Rome truly feel like home. There was never a dull moment during my semester abroad. Some highlights include: visiting the Pantheon in the rain (the rain comes through the oculus - so amazing!); swimming in the grottos in Capri; olive-picking at Velletri; climbing to the top of the Duomo and St. Peter's Basilica; and attending a chocolate fair in Trastevere. While I was studying abroad for academic purposes, my education was largely cultural as well. Living away from home and in a foreign city is an unparalleled opportunity for personal growth, and I learned a lot about myself as well as the Eternal City during my time spent there. I would recommend studying abroad in Rome to anyone who appreciates great art, delicious food, diverse culture, and Mediterranean temperatures in a heartbeat!

Fair Grounds: Touch Magic proves to be astute purchase for Coteau Grove
NEW ORLEANS – With a victory in the Silverbulletday Stakes last weekend, Touch Magic paid off quickly for Keith and Ginger Myers' Coteau Grove Farms.
Coteau Grove had purchased Touch Magic in December, a month after she finished second in the Grade 3 Delta Princess in her fourth start.
"We wanted to try to get a good 2-year-old filly coming 3 that had a chance to get to the Oaks," Keith Myers said.
The Coteau Grove game plan is to build a high-class stable from the ground up – with a strong broodmare band. Touch Magic was purchased not only for racing, but also for breeding potential.
"We started in 2008," said Myers, who is chairman and CEO of LHC Group, a health-care company. "Right now, we have 15 broodmares on the farm, and we've upgraded quite a bit. The first group that we bought, we rolled those over and upgraded. We went for a little more pedigree."
Coteau Grove jumped into the breeding business by purchasing eight mares at Keeneland in November 2008, Myers said. The only one still at the farm, which is in Sunset, La., is Character Builder, who produced multiple stakes winner Little Ms Protocol.
A recent addition to the broodmare band is Bella Medaglia, who was retired in December after winning the Treasure Chest Stakes at Delta Downs for the second time. She placed in four other stakes, including the Grade 3 Kentucky Cup Distaff at Turfway Park in 2011, and in 20 starts earned $355,776 – a nice return for a runner purchased for $200,000 as a 2-year-old in 2009. One of eight Coteau Grove mares headed out of state for breeding this year, Bella Medaglia is scheduled for a date with First Samurai.
Touch Magic, a daughter of Lion Heart and the Deputy Minister mare Unifier, began her career in August with a victory against $40,000 maiden claimers at Calder. She won an allowance race there and finished second in Cassidy Stakes before stepping into graded company at Delta Downs.
The filly, trained by Antonio Sano at the time, was among 10 fillies considered for purchase by Coteau Grove, which relies on a team of advisers.
Werk Thoroughbred Consultants provide information on available runners and price ranges, Myers said, and Pat Devereux, who has been Coteau Grove's trainer for two years, offers his assessment.
"When there's a consensus, we have a good relationship with Three Chinmeys," Myers said. "Three Chimneys is our agent for buying and selling. We really were looking at all these fillies. Pat zeroed in on Touch Magic. He liked that filly all along."
"She hadn't done anything wrong," Devereux said in the Fair Grounds winner's circle after the Silverbulletday. "She still hasn't."
She ran a mile and 70 yards in 1:45.00 to defeat Gal About Town by three-quarters of a length.
Of the fillies considered before Coteau Grove targeted Touch Magic, she "had the highest residual value for breeding," Myers said.
Coteau Grove buys only females, he said. The stable's males are homebreds.
"The strategy is really to have horses that are allowance level or above," Myers said. "We'll drop one down quickly if the horse isn't of that caliber."
The 22 Coteau Grove horses in training, including eight unraced 2-year-olds, are based under Devereux at the Evangeline Training Center. He said Thursday that Touch Magic came out of the Silverbulletday in good order, and the Grade 3 Rachel Alexandra on Feb. 23 is her likely next race. That 1 1/16-mile race is the final prep for the Grade 2 Fair Grounds Oaks on March 30.
"You'd have to think the Rachel Alexandra unless for some reason she tells us not to be there." Myers said.
Deal made for Mylute
Through a private purchase from T. Paul Bulmahn's GoldMark Farm, Amanda Pope's Whisper Hill Farm has become an equal partner in the 3-year-old Mylute, said Tom Amoss, who remains the colt's trainer.
He didn't disclose the price.
In November, Pope bought 2011 Horse of the Year Havre de Grace for $10 million at the Fasig-Tipton November selected mixed sale in Kentucky.
Mylute, who won a mile-and-70-yard allowance/optional claiming race by 10 3/4 lengths Dec. 26 in his last start, is headed to the Grade 2 Risen Star Stakes on Feb. 23, Amoss said.
A son of Midnight Lute and the Valid Expectations mare Stage Stop, Mylute has won 2 of 7 starts and earned $213,695. He has run in four stakes races, finishing second in the Prairie Meadows Juvenile, fifth in the Grade 3 Arlington-Washington Futurity, second in the Jean Lafitte and third in the Grade 3 Delta Downs Jackpot.

London is leading the recovery of the European market with prospects of a 40% drop in vacancy rates and a doubling of take-up in business accommodation this year.
These improvements are expected to generate office employment opportunities and support demand for office space in the medium to long term.
"Here, global links have been the critical in the early rebound", commented Andrew Burrell, Head of office research at King Surge.
This revival has already resulted in a 10% rise in prime rents. London is also virtually the only European city in which speculative office developments are re-starting. Other European cities are starting to see improvement too, but the British capital is showing the most promising signs of recovery.
"In western Europe, the green signals are clearest in London, Geneva and Paris, where businesses have benefited from well-established global connections, particularly in finance", said Andrew Burell.
Currently the recovery of south Europe is looking the least promising due to the Greek debt crisis; the outlook for office markets in Athens and Madrid is grim with both cities expecting a continued market slump.
"Economic forecasts suggest that the larger international centres in the west will continue to perform well, The global reach of London ensures it is the largest creator of office jobs over the next five years. Bucharest, Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, Munich and Milan are also set to expand at healthy rates ," continued Mr Burell.
Property consultants King Surge are one of the biggest international consultancies in Europe with offices in 14 European countries. The company are also expanding in the Middle East with plans to open a new office in Dubai.

A collection of rapper Young Buck's belongings has fetched $53,000 at auction.
The former G-Unit rapper, who filed for bankruptcy in 2010, was recently ordered to pay the government's Internal Revenue Service more than $300,000 in unpaid taxes.
Unable to come up with the funds on his own, financial bosses liquidated Buck's assets and auctioned off his awards, jewellery, and electronics in Nashville, Tennessee on Thursday (26Jul12).
However, fans failed to dig deep for the items and the 31 year old's prized 615 Cashville medallion chain raked in the most cash at $12,300, according to XXLMag.com.
Earlier this year (12), the star, real name David Darnell Brown, was ordered to serve 18 months behind bars for tax evasion and unrelated weapons charges. He is due to begin his sentence on 13 August (12).

DUB floaters or wheels offer many styles, including Attack 5, a high gloss and bronze brushed matte finish, Swerv, a machined black design with a double dark tint, and Malice, a high luster polish with a gold tint. Features of DUB floaters include spinners, step lips, concave profiles, staggered rims and reverse drop lips.Continue Reading
Some popular one-piece wheel series for passenger cars, trucks and SUV's include 8-Ball, Balla, Directa and Phase 6. Popular forged series include the Platinum Series, which are two-piece staggered wheels, along with Firewire, Woofer, Fader and Technic.
DUB spinners are typically customizable and offer series such as Zippo, Dazr, Spike, Cutta and Spektra. Standard skirts each come with a standard two-piece staggered directional base wheel, and models include Fantasy, Splitter, Shokka and Snatch.
Spinners work due to roller bearings that isolate the spinners from the wheels. This allows the spinners to turn while the tires of the vehicle are not moving. Some states propose a ban on spinners, reasoning that the movement of the spinners when the car is not moving might cause issues for or confuse other drivers. Spinners have not always been decorative and originally helped keep the wheel of the automobile in place.Learn more about Tires, Rims & Wheels

Remember Episodes 5 & 6: When Grey is the New Black
Happy New Year! And welcome back to Remember. With only two episodes airing over the past two weeks, we are torn between discussing so much and wishing that there was more. Join DeShonda, Drama Debussie, and me, Cici, as we go over all the shades of grey in these amazing episodes.
Cici: Well, he did it. Jin Woo really became a lawyer. And in record time, thanks to his superpower memory. But is he going to fight on the side of right, or has he become corrupted by the need to win at all costs?
DeShonda: I am happy Jin Woo became a lawyer as well. I hope that he does not get corrupted and he does the right thing. He wants to get after Nam Gyu Man, that's for sure. I am looking forward to the both of them squaring off in court.
Drama Debussie: You know, there's a lot of grey areas in this show. As much as I love that Jin Woo achieved his goal of becoming a lawyer, he seems to be using the truth in a straightforward way that makes you question his wins. He said himself that the truth is relative and he chooses to stay on the winning side of the truth which means less fortunate families lose because their family member made a mistake in desperation. But, hey, a win is a win, right?
Cici: That first case we saw was so poignant. Yes, he won, and the fault really was with the father who voluntarily worked so much overtime in order to pay for his daughter's education, but it sure didn't feel like a win. All I could think was, man, he's become just like Park Dong Ho. And when he was confronted by the daughter, he told her that the person to blame was her attorney, for not doing his job. Whew! Quite a switch from the righteous if naive knight in shining armor who went off to law school.
DeShonda: I agree with you Cici. I think he is becoming a mini Dong Ho. I had to watch the episode a few times to really get that he is very similar to him. At first I was happy that he found the Vice President innocent. But I can see the grey areas you ladies are speaking of.
Drama Debussie: We talked last week about how Jin Woo certainly came off as a Dong Ho Jr. and, though he may disagree with us, he certainly is using the same win at all costs approach. I think Dong Ho sees that he's headed down the same path as him and I don't think he likes it much. Not so much because he could easily be a threat, but mainly because he's putting himself in danger. Nam Gyu Man is a modern King Joffrey; imagine how evil his dad can get.
Cici: Was I the only one who was surprised to find out that it was his dad who set up the Vice President? I really thought that had Nam Gyu Man stamped all over it. So, yeah, once again we realize where he has gotten his psychopathic tendencies from. Nam Il Ho is no one you'd ever want to mess with. Not that that will stop Jin Woo, of course. I just hope that my gut feeling that Dong Ho is secretly still in his corner will come true in time for him to have some effective allies in this fight.
DeShonda: I was totally shocked that it was Nam Gyu Man's father who orchestrated the plan to set up the Vice President. I too thought that it was Nam Gyu Man who was behind it. There is a saying that goes: The Fruit Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree, and Nam Gyu Man is just as evil as his father. I think that Dong Ho will not give up on Jin Woo. I am hoping that they become allies as well.
Drama Debussie: Well, I can say here and now that the day Dong Ho and Jin Woo become allies will be a magical day, especially if In Ah joins them. In Ah, while still naive, continues to be the moral compass in the midst of all the craziness. It's why I like her so much. While everyone else is scheming and plotting, she's trying to get justice for those that deserve it, in the right way. Sure, it may take longer to see the results and Il Ho Group may find ways to shut her down, but at least we know any win that involves her is a true win.
Cici: I thought it was touching when she explained that the reason she worked so hard to become a prosecutor was because of the injustice of Jin Woo's father's case.
Cici: She is like a moral compass, but I've got to admit that she's going to have to get a little tougher if she really hopes to get justice meted out to the father/son combination that is Il Ho Group. I hate to say it, but sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. Please tell me I'm wrong!
DeShonda: You are absolutely correct, Cici. In Ah does need to get tougher if she wants to go up against Nam Gyu Man and his father. I think she will get tougher. I really like her character as well because she is strong and she will get the job done. She is very smart as well.
Drama Debussie: I'm just wondering what will happen with Hot Judge. Granted, she's not showing any interest in him right now, but he's certainly showing some in her and for all intents and purposes he seems like a nice guy. I'm not a lawyer or anything, but having the judge that is presiding over a case you're working actively asking you out (even if it is just coffee) doesn't seem like a good idea.Even she was uncomfortable about it and she should've been.
Cici: Oh, Hot Judge, why are you already giving me Second Lead Syndrome? Wait, I didn't just say that. I love Jin Woo. But that judge...Okay, here's my scenario that will make it all work out. In Ah works with Jin Woo as a prosecutor so she can bring the evil bast*rds at Il Ho group to justice, Hot Judge gets Nam Yeo Kyung to testify against her brother and father, and Attorney Park gathers enough inside information to completely destroy Il Ho Group. Sister plus Hot Judge is the only way I can resolve this second lead thing.
DeShonda: Great minds think alike Cici. I had Second Lead vibes coming from the Hot Judge too. I have to admit, It made my skin crawl when I saw him dating Nam Gyu Man's sister. I instantly thought, Uh Oh, He's The Enemy. And sure enough, he ended up meeting with Nam Gyu Man. I really love your scenario. I think you may be on to something here. I think that Jin Woo and In Ah will definitely work together to bring down II Ho Group. I also think that Dong Ho will turn against Nam Gyu Man and his father. I think Dong Ho knows they are doing wrong. And there is only so much manipulating one can take. .
Drama Debussie: I certainly agree that people within Il Ho Group will finally turn and Dong Ho will be one of those people. Every Goliath has its David and I think Jin Woo is just one David of many that will finally bring Il Ho's corruption to an end. In the meantime, I'm having fun watching Jin Woo circle Il Ho like a shark.A baby shark but a shark nonetheless.
Cici: When I stop to think about it, the sheer arrogance of Il Ho Group is what will be their demise. They don't care who they turn against them in their quest for absolute power. Not only is Dong Ho going to work against them, but I'd be willing to bet that Vice President Kang and even Nam Gyu Man's assistant will finally have enough abuse and turn on them. I can't wait till Baby Shark gets them all rounded up!
Drama Debussie: Woof, me too. Baby Shark needs a win. A REAL WIN. While I may disagree with his tactics, you can't help but understand why he's so jaded when it comes to the legal system. Especially when he goes to visit his dad whose Alzheimer's is getting worse. Imagine not knowing if your only living parent will remember you or not.
Cici: Every scene with Jin Woo and his father tears me up. Jeon Kwang Leol is doing an amazing job playing a man who is losing his most precious possession--his memories. And time is running out. Not only is he on death row, but every day he goes without proper treatment his condition worsens. I'd say that's plenty of justification for Jin Woo to work the grey areas of the law.

As Singapore awaits the launch of iPhone 3G(S) by SingTel on 10th July 2009, it is perhaps an appropriate time to see how the iPhone has influenced the mobile browsing habits of mobile users in the country. I'll be using data from StatCounter which uses a sample size of more than 3 million websites with more than 4 billion pageviews per month.
Source: StatCounter Global Stats - Mobile Browser Market Share
As you can see from the graph above, Nokia's browser (presumably Symbian) has swapped the leadership position with iPhone's Safari browser over many months since the start of 2009. Interestingly, there is a divergent break in this flipping trend between the two browsers sometime last month. I decided to do a more focused analysis on this by using data for the last three months (i.e. April to July 08):
Source: StatCounter Global Stats - Mobile Browser Market Share
It seems that the divergent break started on 14 June 2009 and this gap between the browsers widened since 1st July 2009. As of 8 July 2009, more than 38% of all websites were accessed Nokia's mobile browser in Singapore. In comparison, slightly more than 26% used iPhone's Safari to access websites in Singapore in the same period. It will be interesting to see the effect of iPhone 3G(S) on the mobile browser competition in Singapore following their launch tomorrow.
How is this information useful for marketing professionals? Simply said, the two dominant mobile digital platforms today are Nokia and Apple. I'm sure advertisers know this trend, either through popular perception or through word-of-mouth from the marketing community. Nonetheless, the need to justify and convince senior management such as the CFO or CEO on investments in mobile marketing can now use these trends as the rationale to perhaps develop apps to tap on this increasingly tech-savvy target audience. I'm sure a picture speaks a thousand words for your internal proposal to get the budget needed to meet your marketing objectives.
