Marion, TX.,(March, 29th, 2014) After a successful qualifying night, the San Antonio Nationals moved into eliminations for the professionals classes(Nitro Nostalgia Funny Car, Nitro Altereds, Nitro Harley Davidson and Jet Dragsters. The one exception was Mike Halstead's trip into the sand box and catch fence in the Candies & Hughes Nitro Nostalgia Funny Car.
ProStocks, who hadn't run in San Antonio in six years, still had one final round of qualifying to finish setting the field before eliminations.
Top qualifiers from Friday night were Jason Rupert (Nitro Nostalgia Funny Car), Jim Maroney (Nitro Altereds), Mike Scott (Nitro Harley) and Elaine Larsen (Jet Dragsters). Cary Goforth led the way from Pro Stock to Saturday's final qualifying session. and was able to hold the top qualifying spot through round 3.
The local sportsman racers had their chance to perform in front of a huge, national event crowd with two bracket races for the ET Box(Electronics), ET No-box(Foot brake) and Jr. Dragster classes.
Rupert Repeats in Funny Car
Jason Rupert(Yorba Linda, Calif.) picked up his second Ironman in two tries scoring the victory over John Smith in the Nitro Nostalgia Funny Car finals. Both left with nearly identical lights only giving Smith a hundredth on the tree. Rupert, in the Bays & Rupert, Lucas Oil, Madden, GRP, B&J Transmissions, Grant Downing Parallax Chassis, Black Plague, Camaro went by Smith and was first to the line with a 5.810 @ 244.96 to Smith's 5.883 @ 242.98.
Rupert got by Ronnie Young in round 1, then bested Greg Jacobsmeyer, who only made the call after a delay for track clean up. Smith had wins over Tim Boychuck and Mark Sanders on his way to the finals.
"It was pretty awesome," replied Rupert. "When you look at all the cars here, they're all real competitive. We were lucky to have had good help and a little bit of luck. We had a little oil leak coming out on one tire and didn't do as good. That was our lucky run. In the finals we knew we were up against a Paul Smith tuned car and knew we better not be bashful. It was a great weekend. We're real excited about this whole program."
"I try not to think about any of the added pressure going up there. I was more concerned with watching the air(density) and the percentage of nitro-methane to mix. I found something before the finals and knew we could run a good number. I knew they could run good too and we had to be on our game."
"Being two for two this year is really a lot of hard work. The car has been running really well and my crew and I burn the midnight oil preparing if we have to. It's mainly just my crew and hard work paying off."
"When I haven't been to a track before the first thing I'll look at is the shut down area. The track was really well prepared. Then it's just a matter of watching the track and the air, the car takes care of the rest if I make the right decisions."
Nitro Nostalgia Funny Car final eliminations
Jason Rupert, 5.746 @ 252.38
John Smith, 5.883 @ 242.98
Hope Hauls to Nitro Altered Honors
Franklin, Tennessee's Ron Hope piloted his Original Rat Trap to the Nitro Altered win over Mike Hilsabeck. Hope left Hilsabeck sitting at the light and put his Don Green powered, Dennis Watson Chassis down the track with a 8.008 @ 161.12, clicking it off early.
Hope got by fast qualifier, Ron Maroney in the first round, while Hilsabeck had a competition bye over Jim Maroney, who had problems on the burnout coupled with a small fire on the front of the engine.

Andras(Amelia, La.) on the K&K Marine, AB Steel, RBT Fabricators, Piedmont Dragway, Harley Davidson got the jump on Turner at the start and held the lead throughout in a close race as Andras' 6.468 edged Turner's 6.499.

Randall Andras, 6.468 @ 217.92
Jay Turner, 6.499 @ 209.40
DeFlorian Sets New Speed Record in Pro Stocks
John DeFlorian(Arnold, Mo.) not only took out the top qualifier, and previous race event winner, Cary Goforth, but set a new IHRA speed record in the process. In round 1, against his car owner, Kevin Bealke, Deflorian went 224.44 on 6.291 run, but needed a back up pass. Deflorian got his back up number putting up a 6.250 @ 223.21 over Scott Hintz in round two. In the finals, Deforian then proceeded to lay down a 226.70 which was becked up by the previous 224.44.
The final saw Deflorian up against one the fastest cars early this season in Goforth, who was working on an open-ended ET world record, needing back up. Deflorian in the Kevin & Karen Bealke owned, Black Diamond Motorsports, Sonny Leonard powered, Jerry Haas Race Cars, gave up a 100th to Goforth, then motored on past to snag the victory and set the new record.
"To get our first IHRA win here is dynamite," said DeFlorian. "This is our first trip ever to this track and when we rolled in we thought this track would be a lot of fun. To get the race win was awesome. We ran against the best team out here. The battle between Cary(Goforth) and I goes back years. We were not only able to beat them, but set the record too. Getting the win and the record is really special."
"That car has three wins in a row for Cary going back to last year and the first round that he's lost since then To beat them you have to really put your best foot forward and have your game on. We had all our bases covered today and never expected it to run a 226."
"When The car left(in the finals) it made a little move to the left. I was worried about that because you can't afford any room for error with them(in the other lane). Fortunately we got right back in the groove and marched on down the track."
"The first thing I do when we get to a track I haven't raced at is get in the golf cart and go down the track. We look at the track surface and the shut down area and return road. You have to be prepared. We haven't raced the full quarter mile in years now and you're moving going through there. You really want to know you're going to have a good shut down area."

Had it not been for the local sheriffs department, the Sportsman may still be racing. The high volume of cars, several delays for oil downs, clean ups and general track prep, saw the Sportsman races lasting well into the night, er, morning. The sheriff's department showed up after complaints about noise and imposed a 3:00AM curfew for the night.
Officials and racers did their best to complete as much of the program as possible along with pushing the deadline given. The Jr. Dragsters were able to complete both of their races within the limits, while the Box and No-box classes snuck enough racing in to get to their finals. Several different split options were offered to try to be as fair as possible.
In all, nearly 150 Sportsman cars in the three classes made runs throughout the weekend. Add them all up, plus buy backs, and it makes for, well, a lot of laps down the eighth mile course over the course of the event.
ET Box(Electronics)
Rabedeau and Flores Split Race 1
Canyon Lake's Jeff Rabedeau and Willie Flores(San Angelo) were the co-winners in the first of two ET Box(Electronics). Rabedeau, who has been on a bit of a hot streak lately following some time away from the track, was awarded the track points with the money split between Flores and him.
Rabedeau's Dragster got past Chris Gulitti, D. DeBerry, P. Maduri, Paul Schneider, and took a bye in round five. Flores, in his Camaro trailered Paul Schneider, David Cain, David Bills, Kevin Picha and N. Hernandez.
Fields, Turner Divide Race 2
Two area drivers made their way to the finals in the second race with the IHRA Ironman trophy also up for grabs. Russell Field(New Braunfels) and Bryon Turner(San Marcos) opted to split the prize money and points with Fields awarded the trophy after he won the coin toss in the officials tower.
Fields, in his Chevy II got wins over M. Collier, C. Peterson, Rick Schafer, Brian Miller, Aaron Cole and Brett Zampese in the semi's. Turner's Dragster scored victories over Mike Murillo, M. Blair, David Cain, Kevin Picha, M. Collier and got the bye in his semi finals.
ET No-box(Foot brake)
Herbold and Gallegos Split race 1
Gene Herbold(Seguin) and Ruben Gallegos(Schertz) were slated in for the first of the two ET No-box finals. They opted for a money split with a race later this season to decide the points.
Gallegos on his Hayabusa Motorcycle got round wins over Walter Dyrenfurth, R. Powers, D. Tschoepe, Nelson Friedeck, Sylvia Zemgals with a bye in round 4. Herbold in his Dragster bought back after a round 1 loss to Wendell Dockery, then was the victor over Krystal Sullivan, Art Morales, D. Bradford, Ryan McDonnell with a round 5 bye.
Mitchan/Gallegos Split Race 2
In what has been a common site at San Antonio Raceway lately, Brandon Mitchan(SAR No-box track champ) and Ruben Gallegos(SAR Motorcycle track champ) made their way to the finals in ET No-box race two. The two Hayabusa Motorcycle rivals split the money and will race this coming week for the Ironman trophy and points. Both joked in post race that they would race back to San Antonio to decide it all.
Gallegos, who had a chance for double wins taken away by the curfew, posted wins over W. Keller, R. Powers, J. Tally and Art Morales. Mitchan(San Antonio) won over Sherman Davis(twice), Bob Grudle, Anthony Montoya and Josh Gaspard.

The two had nearly identical reaction times down to the thousandth with Hubbell running a 9.046 on a 9.04 dial index. Bettis ran under his index, breaking out on the top end.
Ashley Hubbell, 9.046 @ 70.07 defeats Codi Bettis, 7.934 @ 82.34(break out)

Celebrating the Cinematic Heritage of Italian Luxury House Fendi
Captured on celluloid by Luchino Visconti, Martin Scorsese and Wes Anderson, Fendi has collaborated extensively with filmmakers since the early 1970s. Celebrating this cinematic alliance, and coinciding with today's opening of Fendi's new boutique in Milan, the exhibition Making Dreams: Fendi and the Cinema will be unveiled this Saturday within the opulent surroundings of the Mario Cavallè-designed Cinema Manzoni. Featuring today's short Amphitheatre, a visual salute of Rome's legendary Cinecittà studios, the grand show is curated by the multidisciplinary creative directors, Patrick Kinmonth and Antonio Monfreda. "As a little girl, film screenings were events in their own right," remembers Director of the Italian luxury fashion house Silvia Venturini Fendi of her personal connection to film. "The cinema would enter our house and the whole event would be met with a religious silence." In part examining the costuming of several seminal films in which Fendi has played a key role, including James Bond caper Never Say Never Again (1983), Scorsese's The Age of Innocence (1993) and Luca Guadagnino's I am Love (2009), the show opens ahead of the restoration of Visconti's award-winning 1974 release Gruppo di famiglia in un Interno (Conversation Piece) and a book on the film by Rizzoli.
Making Dreams: Fendi and the Cinema runs at the Cinema Manzoni from September 21 through October 6.

Charlie Ahearn's New Film Retraces a Moment in New York Style
As a teenage photographer in early 80s East Flatbush, Brooklyn, Jamel Shabazz set out to document the then nascent movement of hip-hop. Through the iconic style of his MCs, neighborhood kids and gang members, the unequivocal attitude of New York's youth was recognized as the calling card of the city's creative renaissance. Published in 2001, Shabazz' first book Back In The Days was celebrated as an exhilarating snapshot of the times, and his visual flair has been brought to life in a new documentary by the legendary hip-hop historian and director, Charlie Ahearn, previewed in today's exclusive clip. "On the cover of Jamel's book were two young men on 42nd Street. They were captured posing in such strong form as a kind of respectful bulwark against all the chaos that you see around them on 'The Deuce,'" explains Ahearn, the notable filmmaker also responsible for the classic old-school movie, Wild Style. "I immediately knew that here was an original artist for our time." Co-produced by Kenzo Digital and enjoying its world premiere in Brooklyn this weekend before traveling to Portland, Seattle and San Francisco next month, Jamel Shabazz Street Photographer is both a trip down memory lane featuring NYC luminaries Fab Five Freddy and Bobbito Garcia, and a discovery of the inspirations and craft behind the titular influencer's urban lens.
A New Film Pursues the Mystery Behind the Influential Director's Last Comic Tale
Filmmaker Chelsea McMullan's emphatic new short documents the surreal myths surrounding Federico Fellini's infamous unmade film Il Viaggio di G. Mastorna Detto Fernet (The Journey of G. Mastorna called Fernet), the story of a man living unknowingly in the afterlife. The avant-garde director described the project as his life's curse, and legend has it that a magician once told Fellini that if he made the picture, it would be the last thing he ever did. Premiering at September's Toronto Film Festival, Deragliamenti (Derailments)––an exclusive edit of which we present above––explores the tribulations surrounding the prospective movie and the La Dolce Vita director's decision to produce the metaphysical tale as a comic strip with artist Milo Manara instead. "Manara saw himself as a vehicle through which Fellini could rid himself of the negativity," explains McMullan. "The comic is less a visual adaptation of the film and more Fellini coming to terms with the approach of death." In an eerie fulfillment of the magician's prophecy, Il Maestro passed away six months after the publication of its first installment, making the comic strip the final project he ever worked on. We talked to McMullen about the enduring influence of the legendary Italian.
What did you find intriguing about the story of the curse surrounding Il Viaggio?
As filmmakers we use narrative to structure our thoughts and feelings, it gives us control over things we can't explain. That's why the curse is so fascinating. It had the ability to stifle Fellini from making the film.
Did you worry about the curse affecting you while making the documentary?
I had a bad accident riding my bike home one night and I remember lying on the pavement thinking that this was an extension of the curse. After that I started to be really paranoid. I think I was just living the story, which in way is a good thing, but it didn't do much for my mental health.
You interview Manara in the documentary. Did he have any interesting insights into working with Fellini?
We conducted the interview in his studio in Verona. Manara explained he and Fellini would often go for dinner to discuss the project, and inevitably Fellini would start sketching his ideas on a napkin. Eventually Manara pulled out a drawer full of a thick pile of them, soiled with Bolognese, wine and olive oil. On each one was a faded sketch, some quite elaborate, others just faded lines, all hand drawn by Fellini.
Did Fellini see comics as being as important a medium as film?
Fellini considered and approached comics exactly as he did films. Visually, by using stills instead of moving images, Manara's collaboration with Fellini acts as a bridge between comics and cinema.
What is it that still makes Fellini relevant today?
His films deconstruct every facet of popular culture in a single film: religion, paparazzi and celebrity. Fellini had the unique ability to be incredibly playful and dark at the same time. He placed the audience in a room full of funhouse mirrors and told them to look at themselves.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Police arrested a man in connection with a drive-by shooting in the Garland District Saturday.
WATCH: Police search for suspect vehicle from Garland District drive-by

Hideo Nakata, the guy who made "Ringu", has signed on to direct the remake of the Korean film "Haunters". The film is about a man who can control people with his mind and the one guy who seems to be immune to him. It's also about me thinking the titled was "Hunters" at first. That really doesn't make any difference here though. Just a fun fact.
Tomorrow is the 4th of July. Pretty much everyone has checked out at this point. News is slow. "ThanksKilling 3" is coming to DVD in October, just in time for Halloween. By the team you read this I'll probably be drunk.
"Fear Clinic" is a new movie that will star Robert Englund and Danielle Harris if you help fund it. The film will focus on a group of patients undergoing a special treatment that shows them their greatest fears in order to cure them. Funny enough, my greatest fear is a love scene between England and Harris. How much do I have to donate for that not to happen?
Do you want to see fan art for the movie "Carrie"? No me either but Screen Gems has launched a tumblr site where fans can upload and view each others art. Look I said it's a slow day alright.
Sorry Huntsville Stars fans, that's in Alabama for you folks playing at home, but the team has decided to cancel their gun raffle which was supposed to take place during an upcoming game. I assume the pocket knife giveaway night is still on though.
If you see on the news that your dentist was found in a McDonald's parking lot high out of her mind with a child in the car you might want to think about postponing that cleaning. Then again, this is Tennessee so the chances of you actually having teeth are pretty slim.
The first trailer for Lars Von Trier's new end of the world flick "Melancholia" has hit the tubes and much to my surprise it looks fairly un-hammer-to-the-penis-like. Yes that women who took a hammer to William Defeo's penis in "Antrichrist" is in this movie, so you keep thinking about it, but there's nothing to lead me to believe that's going to happen again. God I hope that doesn't happen again.
Speaking of Willem Dafoe and his lumbering manbits, they'll both be in the upcoming big screen adaptation of Dean Kootz's "Odd Thomas". The story focuses on a cook who's able to speak to the dead. Defoe plays a police chief who knows the young lad's secret. I have no clue if Defoe's member will be playing a different role.
It looks as if Rob Hall's "Fear Clinic" mini-series will be making it's way to the big screen, and Danielle Harris and Robert Englund are both on board for the magic. For those of you who aren't familiar with the series or Rob Hall's spiky hair, it follows a group of patients who come to a clinic in order to cure the phobias that run their lives. Much like the god awful fear I have of Willem Dafoe's privates. Let's keep this going!
Jessica Biel his apparently been offered a role in the upcoming "Total Recall" remake. No confirmation on which role she's been offered but chances are it's one of the two leads. She doesn't seem like the kind of girl who would be into playing that big women who has an exploding head or the three boobed hooker. Then again what do I know, I'm still focused on Willem Dafoe's flim flam. Happy Monday folks!
I have no idea if there's a bestiality handbook out there, but I don't think you need one to know you don't do it in your backyard. But it looks like this 17 year old in New Zealander doesn't know that because he's been convicted of the animal nasty after his neighbor saw him making love to his cat. Yeah I said it, making love.
After 64 years on this planet you've got to be struggling for ideas on how to celebrate your birthday. But this Florida man came up with something new, he flashed a school bus full of kids! I would of gone with a trip to Denny's, I'm pretty sure you eat for free. But flashing a bunch of kids would be a close second.

On December 13, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Costco v. Omega in a manner that eliminated none of the uncertainty caused by the lower court's ruling in that case. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit had ruled that the copyright law's "first sale doctrine" did not apply to copies manufactured abroad. This ruling cast doubt on a library's ability to circulate books and other materials manufactured outside of the United States.

The U.S. Senate voted 53-47 against Sen. Lisa Murkowski's amendment that would have upended the EPA's endangerment findings and reduced the agency's ability to protect the nation's health and welfare.
"Climate change is as much an environmental issue as it is a leading public health concern," said Georges C. Benjamin, MD, FACP, FACEP (E), executive director of the American Public Health Association. "Today's vote affirmed EPA in its mission to protect all Americans from environmental health hazards, and it must continue to have authority over the full breadth of its critical work."
Current levels of the six key greenhouse gases cited in EPA's endangerment finding pose significant public health threats, including increased likelihood of more frequent and intense heat waves, more wildfires, degraded air quality, more flooding, increased drought, more intense storms, harm to water resources and harm to agriculture.
The APHA commends the Senate for reaffirming its commitment to combat climate change and protect public health and looks forward to working with Congress and the administration as we bolster our response to this leading threat to public health.
For more about APHA, visit www.apha.org.
Founded in 1872, the APHA is the oldest, largest and most diverse organization of public health professionals in the world. The association aims to protect all Americans and their communities from preventable, serious health threats and strives to assure community-based health promotion and disease prevention activities and preventive health services are universally accessible in the United States. APHA represents a broad array of health providers, educators, environmentalists, policy-makers and health officials at all levels working both within and outside governmental organizations and educational institutions.

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - The announcement about a deal to bring an Amazon distribution center to Lexington County was initially met with great hoopla. Since that time, it has become the source of great controversy, with other businesses in the state crying foul, and Governor Haley threatening to renege on the deal. She has since acquiesced, but now the opposition has launched a campaign to fight it.
The controversy surrounds tax exemption incentives that former Governor Sanford agreed to provide to Amazon without consulting key lawmakers and revenue officials. Lexington County business leaders endorse the plan saying the long term economic gains far outweigh the short term tax hit. The anti-Amazon crowd feel that it's not fair for Amazon to get a tax break that isn't offered to them.
At stake here are over 1200 jobs and a potential multi-million dollar economic impact. Could the deal have been handled better? Yes. But if we back out now, both the deal and our state's reputation for honoring a business commitment could be in jeopardy.
That's my perspective. What's yours?

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I chose to use the white background with gold and black print, and it looked great. It's not too busy, like some other invitations can be, and this is a simple way of stating a lot. I used the free (but high quality) card stock - which looked fantastic. But, I did not use the Pearl White Shimmer to get the luminescent look, though I would recommend it if you can splurge on that if you want the metallic look. (the cardstock does not give the metallic look). I love my invitations and the service on the proofs was very fast and helpful. Highly recommend!"
"We were able to personalize our invitation through the help of one of the designers and he made suggestions about script and color, parallelism, and overall layout that really enhanced our invitation! He also made the changes that we requested in a timely manner and our invitations were shipped and printed in less time than we expected! I was so excited when they came in the mail! The paper quality was textured and even nicer than I expected and the picture on the back printed very nicely on it as well! Thank you!!"
"I was extremely impressed with the abundance of selections to choose from; the ease and promptness of the changes I requested; and the invitations were absolutely beautiful and well made. They also arrived before the expected delivery date."
"I was torn trying to decide between all the different designs. I finally settled on this one in the darker tones for a fall wedding. They are absolutely stunning and I would highly recommend getting the pearlized feature. It gives it that extra bit of "fancy" for being a more informal invitation. The designer even helped me add my parent's names to this invitation when I thought there wouldn't be any room."
"This was the only invitation we could both agree on! He loved the modern layout, I loved the simple elegance. Both our names are long and didn't fit originally, but Dwayne did amazing job adjusting the design until we got it just right! He seriously treated it like he was designing his own invites and made the whole thing work seamlessly."

A bill to compensate eugenics victims was introduced in the North Carolina Senate Thursday after its inclusion in Gov. Pat McCrory's two-year budget proposal for state government.
Sen. Floyd McKissick, a co-sponsor of S.B. 464, predicted the passage of some form of compensation package this year in an interview with WNCN.
"I am optimistic we will see some form of compensation package passed to address this issue this year, whether it will be the bill I have on file … or whether it's some other version of that," he said.
The eugenics program sterilized estimates of 7,600 North Carolinians between 1929 and 1974. Many of these victims were minorities, lower-income or mentally ill, and sterilized against their will.
McKissick described the bill as having a good framework and the support of both House Speaker Thom Tillis and McCrory. But a similar compensation bill failed to pass the Senate last summer.
When asked about the previous failure of the bill, McKissick identified several key factors that have changed since last summer.
"When the bill got to the Senate, certain members, particularly those recently elected, felt there were other, more pressing issues from a financial perspective," he said.
This time around, McKissick believes the bill stands a better chance because the growing state budget may diminish these financial concerns.
McCrory has proposed to increase the state budget from $20.2 billion to $20.6 billion.
Another contributing factor to the potential success of the bill is the absence of a formidable opponent.
"One of the members that was most adamantly opposed is no longer with us," McKissick said. Furthermore, some recently elected members in the Senate may be more open to addressing this issue, he said.
Despite optimism about the passage of a compensation package, McKissick could not say how the bill will actually reach the Senate for a vote. The compensation could be voted on individually or as part of the overall budget.
Whatever form it takes, McKissick predicts this issue will reach the Senate floor toward the end of session.
"Whatever progress we can make will be positive momentum in the right direction," he said.

The DBS Autumn Sales hosted a large and diverse crowd that helped to produce some strong competition for the horses on offer and returned a turnover of £1,632,200, an average of £5,299 and a median of £3,000 from a vastly reduced catalogue. This was matched by a clearance rate of 73%.
Peachey Moment topped the sale when selling to Martin Todhunter for £32,000. The six year old son of Stormin fever was offered by Greystoke Stables having won three races this year but was offered to dissolve a partnership and will now race for a new ownership syndicate with Nicky Richards.
Walter Swinburn sold the top class Overturn at this sale before he went on to win high class races under both codes for trainer Donald McCain and owner Tim Leslie, and this fact was not lost on purchasers who fought hard to secure some of the better horses that he offered as part of a minor dispersal due to him relinquishing his licence. Bright Abbey topped the offerings when bought by Bobby O'Ryan for £30,000. The winning son of Halling was bought for an existing client whilst Overturn's trainer went back to the same source when buying Absinthe for £24,000. The two time winning son of Kings Best is now likely to be campaigned over hurdles whereas Highflyer Bloodstock bought the four year old Vimiero for £23,000.
The Darley draft is always well received at DBS and their offerings were topped by Stentorian, a three year old son of Street Cry who was bought by David Phelan for £22,000. He had been placed in the Group 2 Vintage Stakes as a juvenile and looks to be an exciting prospect for new connections. Topping the Horses in Training section on day two was Steed, who was bought by Tom Malone for £25,000. The son of Mujahid had won since publication of the catalogue, taking his winning tally to seven and attracted interest from around the ring before Malone had the final say.
The yearling trade was topped by a daughter of Piccolo who was bought by owner Ron Hull and trainer Debbie Sanderson for £22,000. The February born filly was offered by Manister House Stud and is out of a seven time winning mare who comes from the speedy family of Goggles. The second highest priced yearling was a son of Manduro who was consigned by Oaks Farm Stables and was bought by Pat Eddery for £20,000. The May born colt was out of a half-sister to the multiple Group 2 winning Arabian Gleam.
Following the conclusion of the sale, DBS Managing Director Henry Beeby said:
'No one has ever suggested that the DBS Autumn Sales, or its predecessors, are the most glamorous place to buy or sell but the two days fulfills a need in the calendar and we are confident that many classy performers will follow in the footsteps of the likes of former graduates Dim Sum, Amour Propre, Barizan and Overturn. We have welcomed a diverse group of buyers from across Europe and the Middle East again demonstrating the broad appeal of each DBS sale.
The Horses-In-Training returned a lively trade for the lots catalogued and, when comparing the sale with 2010, it is important to remember that last year included the annual draft from HH The Aga Khan, with a top price of £120,000, which was diverted from its traditional venue at Goffs. That draft realised over €500,000 at Goffs on Friday and if that amount was added to the DBS Horses in Training totals the statistics would be very similar to last year when we enjoyed a jump in median of 48%. Of course, the affiliation between Goffs and DBS means that the Group still reaps the benefit of the ongoing support of HH The Aga Khan which is appreciated by the teams on both sides of The Irish Sea.
Our Yearling Sale is significantly smaller than previous years which is very much a reflection of the reducing foal crops particularly at the lower end of the market but we would submit that it serves the industry by providing a low cost marketplace. As with every other yearling sale this year the old adage "the good ones were hard to buy" rang true and there will be an Amour Propre amongst them whilst the sale continues to move in the right direction with a 5% rise in average and a median that has advanced by a quarter following a 50% leap last year.'

Topic: Steven Wilson- No part of me (Live or studio?)
Posted: February 27 2014 at 04:10
Me and my guitar player have a small disagreement and would like to hear other progers opinions!
Steven Wilson's song "No Part of Me" is one of my favorite songs from "Grace for Drowning"
and when I first ever heard it live from "Get all you deserve" DVD
I fell in love with the live version better!!!!!
The addition of Marco on the drums and live instrumentation just blew my mind!
now.... my guitar player says; "the studio/original version is way better"
the small debate lasted 30 min... and would like hear different opinions :)

His live bands have all been great, and certainly add quite a bit to the performances. I almost got to see the Raven band at the Night of the Prog festival last year, and I was so very bummed when it turned out that I couldn't make it. There are certain aspects of this Get All You Deserve performance that I prefer to the Grace For Drowning original:
- Adam Holzman's keyboard solo
- Theo Travis' sax solo
- Stage energy
But it is for these reasons that I prefer the studio recording:
- Steven's vocals
- Impeccable studio production (also Steven's work)
- An ambience that is missing in the live performance
- More of a slow build to the climax of the song
Rock On,
- D.J. "Slick" Jicky Rones

Yes, this is how I feel. Usually, a live performance has some changes that enhance the song, but misses other aspects of it. On a studio version, you get the clearest idea of the artists are trying to express, while i the live version, is more on the moment, the dynamics that are happening between the bend members. Sometimes it enhances and makes the song better, but not always. In this case, I also prefer the studio version.

I'd rather have the violin over the guitar. And the drum work distracts me from the atmosphere that the guitar, bass, and piano players are trying to establish. And the studio vocal delivery is better. Live it sounds like Steven is out of breath. And I miss the claps.
I guess all I'm saying is that the studio arrangement is better. Studio for me.

The live version is better in my opinion.
Holzman's moog solo is just perfect and the chapman stick is so agressive on the live version

I would have to hear them again, but it's not uncommon that I like live versions better. I think most of the versions I've heard from "Grace from Drowning" I have liked better live... except for Jordan Rudess piano parts which I found charming and don't sound quiet the same way on the live versions. Also, I got to see "The Raven" live, and I think I liked most of the songs better that way... and they played a few songs from "Grace" and they were awsome too... plus, he turned up the guitar into almos heavy metal and that was great too.

November 23, 2008
Thanksgiving is only four days away and I will be in charge of all of the cooking this year. (Mom is on the DL) So, it's high time that I planned the menu!
We're having a low-key Thanksgiving this year; just my mom and dad, John, David and myself. I want to keep the dishes simple and easy, but still have all of the traditional Thanksgiving foods. Since I'll be doing most of the cooking and the gluten free eaters are in the majority, all of the recipes will be gluten free. This is unusual circumstance for us at Thanksgiving so I'll also tell you about how we usually deal with the large family potluck and give some tips for hosting a gluten free guest.
2008 Thanksgiving Menu:
Main Dish:
Roasted Turkey Breast or Chickpea Cutlets with Cranberry Sauce
Southern Cornbread Dressing with Gravy
Green Bean Casserole
Layered Green Salad
Curried Sweet Potatoes
Spoonbread Muffins
Apple Pie
Pumpkin Pie
The key to this Thanksgiving meal will be to spread the cooking over several days so that I don't get too tired. However, I have to balance that with my work schedule and the other meals that we will need in the meantime. With that in mind Monday night's supper will be a stew (cooked quickly in the pressure cooker), and Tuesday's will be Nana's spaghetti (requires very little attention).
Monday Morning: If you're in charge of the turkey, it may be time to start thawing it. My dad will take care of this part of the meal, and he'll probably just cook a turkey breast. But, if you're cooking a large bird, put it in the refrigerator now. It can take 3 – 4 days to thaw!
Monday Night: John doesn't like stew without bread of some sort on the side, so this will be the perfect night to make a large batch of the Spoonbread Muffins. This recipe is still in the trial stages, but I'm hoping that the next batch will be perfect so that I can post the recipe before Thanksgiving. I'll bake some of the muffins for our dinner, and only parbake the remainder. Parbaking is a cooking method in which you cook a bread for 80% of the cooking time, and then rapidly freeze it. I'll take the frozen muffins to my parent's house and finish cooking them right before the meal.
Tuesday Night: The main ingredient in Cornbread Dressing is (of course) corn bread. The stuffing works better if the bread is slightly stale, so I'll make two batches of my Southern Cornbread tonight and store it in zippered storage bags in the refrigerator until Thursday.
Wednesday Night: If we make it to my parent's house Wednesday night, then I will go ahead and make the Layered Salad. This salad is somewhat unusual in that it tastes better the second day, so it's a perfect candidate for making ahead. I think my mom has a recipe, but the salad layers goes something like this: lettuce, red and yellow bell peppers, eggs, green peas, red onions, celery, Ranch dressing, cheddar cheese. You layer everything in a large glass bowl, and the Ranch dressing works its way though all the layers to make the best salad ever!
Thursday Morning: For those of you cooking turkey, get that bird in the oven soon. They take hours to cook. Here's a great turkey tutorial from Simply Recipes, if you have no clue what you're doing.
I'll start the day by doing all of my chopping. Celery and onion for the stuffing, mushrooms for the cream of mushroom soup (Green Bean Casserole) and gravy, and sweet potatoes. Once that's done, I'll move to the stove to saute the celery and onions, start the cream of mushroom soup, and cook some rice for the chickpea cutlets. (I'll make the gravy closer to lunch time).
The Green Bean Casserole and Corn Bread Stuffing will both need to bake for a while, so I'll assemble them first. I can always cover them and let them sit in the refrigerator for a while if I get them ready too early. IF we eat at 11:30, then the Stuffing will need to go in the oven around 10:00, and the Green Bean Casserole around 10:45.
The sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce can cook away on the stove top while I do other things, so I'll start them now. The cubed sweet potatoes will be gently tossed with butter, brown sugar, and Madras curry for a super simple side dish. The cranberry sauce will be made with fresh cranbarries (though I imagine the canned version will be on the table too) and I will probably stick with the recipe that's on the bag of cranberries.
While that's going, I will blend the rice and chickpeas together with lots of herbs, Veggie Chicken Better Than Bouillon, xanthan gum, and a little bit of cornstarch if needed. This mixture can be shaped into cutlets and pan-fried for a vegetarian alternative that won't be quite as scary to your guests as tofu. While the cutlets are cooking, I'll whip up a batch of gravy. It will be happy to simmer away on the stove until lunch is ready. And, if I don't forget (probably will) this is the time to put the muffins into the oven to finish baking.
For dessert, I'm taking the easy way out. I stopped by Whole Foods today and snagged a few frozen gluten free pie crusts. I'll make an apple pie and a pumpkin pie, but I'm cheating and using canned pie filling and the recipes on the back of the can. I'm sure I could make something better if I tried, but I'm taking it easy this year. And if I'm tired at this point, my dad can always help me with the pies since there's no dough rolling involved =) The pies will go into the oven as we sit down to eat so that they are piping hot at dessert time.
If You Are a Gluten Free Guest: Over the years John and I have been guests at many non Gluten Free Thanksgiving celebrations. Most of these meals are potluck and my strategy for dealing with the meal depends on whether the hostess assigns the dishes ahead of time or not.
If the hostess does assign dishes, then I take first dibs on the Dressing and Gravy and also volunteer for a vegetable side dish. In a worst case scenario, John and I can make a meal of stuffing, gravy, and my veggie dish. If we've known the other guests for a while then they are usually aware of our food issues and will check their ingredients with me. I don't usually ask them to change the ingredients unless its an easy substitution, but I at least know whether it's safe for us to eat. (Never take their word though. Always study the food carefully before putting it on your plate. At least 50% of the time you'll realize that they've used an ingredient they didn't realize contained gluten).
If the hostess doesn't assign dishes, then I bring at least one large dish to share with everyone, but I also bring a mini-Thanksgiving meal for John and I. I set our food up away from everyone else's and we try to fix our plates first so that there aren't cross-contact issues with the serving utensils. If my parents are coming, then they will bring a couple of gluten free dishes as well so that I don't have to do quite as much.
If You're Hosting a Gluten Free Guest: Hosting a gluten free guest is probably as stressfull as being a gluten free guest. Here are a few tips to smooth the way:
1. Run your recipes by the gluten free guest before you start cooking. They may be able to suggest easy substitutions to make a recipe gluten free. Or they may be willing to send you some key gluten free ingredients ahead of time.
2. Ask your other guests that are cooking to bring a copy of their recipe with them. You can even turn this into a fun recipe swap by having blank recipe cards on hand so that everyone can copy down their favorite recipes. No one has to know that you also want the recipes so that your gluten free guest can check the ingredients.
3. Let you gluten free guest bring some of the food. I know some hosts and hostesses want to do it all themselves. But let's fact it. It can take months to learn to identify gluten in packaged food. If you let your guest bring something, they will have at least one dish that they know is 100% safe.
4. Make sure you have plenty of metal serving utensils and threaten your guests with their lives if they move the spoons from dish to dish. Some individuals are so sensitive to gluten that even a speck of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom will make them violently ill. And your wooden serving utensils can harbor gluten forever. Stick to metal utensils and make sure the gluten free foods are easily identifiable. You can also put your gluten free guest at the front of the line.
5. Don't stress too much. If your guest has been on a gluten free diet for any length of time, they will greatly appreciate your efforts to feed them, even if they can't eat everything on the table.
Would your Thanksgiving be less overwhelming if you knew the gluten free recipes that you're planning would turn out wonderfully? Would it help to have a shopping list and cooking timeline to follow? Would you like to have someone to go to when you have questions? If so, then my Gluten Free Thanksgiving Made Easy Kit may be just what you need.

Equal Marriage to become law
after historic final vote
'Historic moment' for Scotland as 105 MSPs say 'I Do'.
MSPs have given final approval to the Marriage and Civil Partnerships (Scotland) Bill with an overwhelming majority of MSPs saying 'I Do' to equality. The Bill, passed by a majority of 90, will extend the legal form of marriage to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and permit religious denominations to celebrate such marriages should they wish.
Colin Macfarlane, Director, Stonewall Scotland said: 'This a truly historic moment for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in Scotland. We're delighted that MSPs have overwhelmingly demonstrated that they're committed to building a Scotland fit for the 21st century.'
'We're also hugely grateful to the thousands of Stonewall supporters who have played a big part by contacting their MSPs to show their support. We'll now be lobbying the Scottish Government to ensure that the first marriages take place in Scotland within months of the Act receiving Royal Assent.
During the Bill's progress through Parliament, Stonewall Scotland and volunteers produced personalised briefings and speaking notes for MSPs. The charity gave evidence to the Equal Opportunities Committee and has attended and lobbied at every stage of the Bill's progress.
The Stage One Debate: PASSED!
A huge thank you from all of Stonewall Scotland to the 98 MSPs who voted YES!
Stage One of the Bill process was a meeting of the whole Parliament to consider the Equal Opportunities Committee Stage One Report. The debate was followed by a vote on the principles of the Bill, which passed with an overwhelming majority of 83. The Bill will now proceed to Stage Two. Stonewall Scotland has provided all MSPs with a briefing on the key issues of the Bill.
Stage Two: FINISHED 16 January 2014
At this stage the Bill returned to the Equal Opportunities Committee for more detailed scrutiny and debate of any amendments to the Bill made at this stage. Stonewall Scotland worked closely with our colleagues in Government to ensure that no wrecking ammendments were made to the Bill at this stage, and that the concerns of LGB&T Scots were heard. The committee voted in favour of equality on every amendment. This included passing some significant amendments to improve equality for transgender people.
Stage Three: the final debate and vote: PASSED!
The Bill returned to the whole Parliament for further consideration and votes on amendments on 4 February 2014. This was followed by the final vote on the Bill: the majority of the Parliament voted in favour of the Bill, so it therefore passed!
Royal Assent
The bill was given Royal assent on 13 March 2014!
After the Bill was passed there was a further four week period when the Bill could have been challenged by the Advocate General, the Lord Advocate, the Attorney General or the Secretary of State for Scotland. This did not happen and the Bill received Royal Assent on 13 March.
Stonewall fought long and hard for the introduction of civil partnerships in 2005. Sadly, as recently as 2010 Lord Tebbit stated: 'We should be utterly, completely and absolutely clear that a civil partnership is not a marriage, cannot be a marriage, never will be a marriage and should be treated entirely separately from marriage.'
By insisting that marriage and civil partnerships must be kept separate and distinct opponents of equality still perpetuate the offensive notion, even if inadvertently, that relationships between people of the same sex are not as stable, rich or valid as those between mixed-sex couples. It is clear that these views impact negatively on public attitudes towards gay people themselves.
We therefore want to see marriage available to same-sex couples on the same basis as mixed-sex marriage, with no mandate on religious organisations to celebrate it.
The decision about whether to extend marriage to same-sex couples lay in the hands of our politicians, so it was vital that they knew how strong the support for this is across Scotland. Since December 2011 we have been pushing to raise awareness of the campaign, encouraging people to get in touch directly with their MSP and voice their support. A hundred thousand postcards were distributed across Scotland to encourage MSPs to support equal marriage. Order yours by emailing email@example.com.
Stonewall Scotland is also part of a coalition of supportive groups who organised a march on parliament on Valentine's Day in 2012. We presented the First Minister with a Valentine's Day Card which read "Roses are white, thistles are blue, we believe in equal marriage and we hope the Scottish Government will too."

Even if you're a fan of TV hospital dramas, these shows might also make you nervous about what happens in an operating room. Millions of teens are wheeled into operating rooms (ORs) each year, so it can help to find out what to expect before you get to the hospital.
Depending on the type of surgery you need, you may have inpatient surgery or outpatient surgery (also called ambulatory surgery). Inpatient surgery usually requires that you stay in the hospital for a day or more so the doctors and nurses can monitor your recovery carefully. If you have outpatient surgery, you will go home the same day. This type of surgery may be performed in a hospital or an outpatient surgery clinic and you can go home when the doctor decides you're ready.
If your surgery is not an emergency, it will be planned in advance. You will make a visit to the hospital or outpatient surgery location beforehand. Examples of emergency surgery include a broken elbow and appendicitis. When urgent surgery is required, you will go to the operating room after being diagnosed with a surgical problem.
When you know about your surgery ahead of time, you will arrive at the hospital and a nurse or other hospital employee will begin the pre-surgical process. He or she will begin by asking questions about your medical history, including any allergies you might have and any symptoms or pain you may be having. Girls may be asked if there is any chance of being pregnant. Nurses will also take your vital signs like your heart rate, temperature, and blood pressure.
Soon after you arrive, you'll be given an identification bracelet — a plastic tape with your name and birthdate on it — to wear around your wrist. You'll also be asked about the time you last ate or drank anything. This might seem strange, but it's actually very important to your safety. Having food or liquids in your stomach can lead to vomiting during or after the surgery and cause harmful complications.
You might need to have other tests, like X-rays and blood tests, before your surgery begins.
Before your operation takes place, you and your family will have a chance to meet with the anesthesiologist — the doctor or certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) who specializes in giving anesthetics, the medications that will help you fall asleep or numb an area of your body so you don't feel the surgery. The anesthesiology staff will have your medical information so you can be given the amount of anesthetic you need for your age, height, and weight.
There are several types of anesthesia. General anesthesia causes you to become completely unconscious during the operation. If you're having general anesthesia, the anesthesiologist or CRNA will be present during the entire operation to monitor your condition and ensure you constantly receive the right doses of medications.
If surgery is done under local anesthesia, you'll be given an anesthetic that numbs only the area of your body to be operated on. You also might be given a medication that makes you drowsy during the procedure.
Before your operation, the nurse or doctor will clean (and shave, if necessary) the area of your body that will be operated on. You'll be asked to take off any jewelry, including barrettes and hair ties, and you'll need to take out contact lenses if you wear them. You'll be given a hospital gown to wear in the operating room.
A nurse will put an IV (intravenous) line in your arm and attach it to thin plastic tubing that is connected to a soft bag of fluid. This line will probably be used to give you anesthetic (if you're having general anesthesia) or provide you with fluids or medicine that may be needed during the operation.
As you're wheeled into a hospital operating room, you may notice that the nurses and doctors are wearing face masks and plastic eyeglasses, as well as paper caps, gowns, and booties over their shoes. Patients are vulnerable to infection during an operation, so this protective gear lowers the chance of infection while you're in the operating room.
The nurse or technician will then place monitoring equipment (sticker-like patches) on your skin to measure your heart rate and blood pressure at regular intervals
Sometimes medical and nursing students observe surgeries, so don't be surprised if doctors and nurses aren't the only people in the room.
After your surgery is over, you'll be taken to the recovery room, where nurses will monitor your condition very closely for a few hours. Sometimes this room is also called the post-op (postoperative) room or PACU (post-anesthesia care unit). Your parent may be able to visit you here.
Every person has a different surgical experience, but if you've had general anesthesia, it's common to feel groggy, confused, chilly, nauseated, or even sad when you wake up. When the surgery has been completed, the surgeon will let you and your parents know how the procedure went and answer any questions you have.
Once your anesthesia has worn off and you're fully awake, you'll be taken to a regular hospital room if you're staying overnight. If you're having an outpatient procedure, you'll be monitored by nurses in another room until you're able to go home.
If you feel pain after the surgery, the doctors and nurses will make sure you have pain relievers to keep you more comfortable. You may also need to take other medications, such as antibiotics to prevent infection.
The thought of having surgery can be scary. If you're worried, try these tips to help feel more at ease:

When Physical Therapy Can Help
Pages in this Story:
- Rehab on the Rise
- Move It to Improve It
- What Happens in Physical Therapy
- Can Physical Therapy Prevent Injury?
- 3 Ways to Choose a Physical Therapist
What Happens in Physical Therapy
So, could you benefit from a few sessions? If you have a pain that lingers after a week's rest, get a consultation, says FITNESS advisory board member Marty Jaramillo, a founder and CEO of I.C.E. Sports Therapy in New York City. Even though you may not need a doctor's referral to get an appointment, Dr. Wright says it's best to see your MD first for a diagnosis, then follow up with a physical therapist.
If you've never been to physical therapy, picture a facility not unlike your local health club. Most clinics are housed in gyms, hospitals, or private offices and contain equipment such as treadmills, exercise balls, weights, and foam rollers. For your first appointment, ask what you should wear; comfortable, loose clothing and sneakers are usually best, says Susan Chalcraft, president of the Washington State chapter of the American Physical Therapy Association.
Once you've checked in, you'll meet your therapist, who will "test your strength, range of motion, joint stability, and flexibility to determine what underlying issues may have contributed to your injury," Jaramillo explains. After the evaluation, your therapist will come up with a treatment plan to rehab the injured area, strengthen the surrounding muscles, and prevent you from getting hurt in the future.
On subsequent visits you'll perform a series of stretching and strengthening exercises. Your treatment may also call for ice or heat, massage, ultrasound (to reduce inflammation and pain), and/or electrical stimulation (a painless electrical current directed at the injured muscle to improve blood flow, increase strength, and relieve discomfort). You'll be asked to do the exercises a few times a week on your own. "There's only so much we can accomplish during an hour," Chalcraft notes. "That's why we ask you to work out at home too."
Minor injuries -- a strained glute or an ankle twist -- should feel significantly better within five visits (two per week), each of which lasts from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the clinic, Chalcraft says. More involved conditions, including tendinitis and plantar fasciitis, usually require about 12 visits over the course of four to six weeks.

Great article. I read a blog post about the history of physical therapy and it is really what sparked me to get going! http://www.performancerehabnj.com/20140505-the-history-of-physical-medicine-and-rehabilitation/8/18/2014 02:12:14 PM Report Abuse
I have a friend that his been going to rehab for the last few months. He was really nervous about it too because he didn't know what to expect. After a few sessions he really started to enjoy it and he started liking his trainer. He is now almost done and he is so glad that he did it. http://www.advancedphysicaltherapy.org/physiotherapy/2/21/2014 04:16:56 PM Report Abuse
My doctor diagnosed me with back strain, sent me to PT(physical therapy). PT said doctors always put that down and rely on them to figure out what is really the problem. 1st they said- strain of the sack the encases the spinal cord, then that it was trigger points (tight muscles). He used his thumb and pressed hard on my lower back where it hurt. Unfortunately it appears I actually had a bulging disc and they popped it and caused paralysis. I had to have surgery. Too bad couldn't get MRI 1st.5/13/2010 03:00:11 PM Report Abuse
Great article! As an under 30 year old woman, who also had hip surgery, PT has been a godsend. Even prior to surgery, going to PT helped out with pain. The PT's that I have seen have been are, for the most part, active individuals who understand that you want to get back to activity and feel better, in a different way than a doctor does.5/11/2010 10:46:58 AM Report Abuse

Improve Tourism Visa System to Spur Economic Growth
May 16, 2012
Washington, D.C. —On Wednesday, the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade held a hearing on "Where the Jobs Are: Promoting Tourism to America". The following is a statement by Ali Noorani, Executive Director of the National Immigration Forum.
"The U.S. cannot afford to get tourism wrong. Tourism is one of the largest growth industries in America, pumping nearly $1.8 trillion into the economy and supporting 14 million American jobs in 2010. That's why it's crucial to improve our tourism visa processing system to boost our economy while still upholding national security.
We hope that today's hearing marks the first step by Washington leaders in recognizing that both a smart tourism visa system and a workable immigration system play a significant role in our economic growth."
