text: I'd like to hear from the blue collars here. Which bluetooth earpiece or head set do you use? I'm a field service mechanic and my day consists of being outside all day (lots of ambient noise and weather), and working in a variety of positions up to and including virtually hanging upside down. Am also required to wear a brain bucket (helmet) and corrective day or night vision (safety glasses) so over the head units are pushing it. Getting a bluetooth unit for my phone to actually stay in my ear is a challenge. Right now I am using a Plantronics Voyager 520. On my second one and it is for the most part OK. A lot of hit and miss with my Droid as far as reliable connectivity. The first 3 weeks breaking in the earbud was uncomfortable as heck (painful). Volume control is NADA and usually have to jam the earpiece farther into my ear and plug the other unless I am inside my truck. Not one single company that I have found uses a soft foam rubber ear bud that forms to your ear like most stereo (music) earbuds do. Lets hear it from you, what do you use? (please provide make and model # or link) If it doubles as a unit for listening to an MP3 player as well, great.

First British rider to take part in the Tour de France receives £15,000 after getting knocked off his bike by a car, aged 84.
British cycling legend Brian Robinson, the first British man to finish the Tour de France and win a stage of the world's most famous cycle race, has received £15,000 compensation after a car driver knocked him off his bike in July last year.
Mr Robinson, 84, from Mirfield in West Yorkshire was cycling with friends in Thornhill in West Yorkshire on 16 July 2014 when a car pulled out in front of him, the collision threw him to the ground and he suffered a fractured collarbone and ribs, a punctured lung as well as a deep cut on his forearm which took 10 weeks to heal.
In 1955 Mr Robinson became the first Briton to finish the Tour de France and in 1958 was the first to win a stage pioneering the way for sixties cycling heroes Barry Hoban and Tommy Simpson as well as the current crop of British cycling talent.
Today the Octogenraian still rides 80 miles every week and was back on his bike in six weeks after the incident.
As a member of British Cycling, Mr Robinson was able to make a claim following his accident through his membership benefits. He received a £15,000 settlement for the costs of his bike and for his injuries 8 months after making the claim.
Andrew Bradley head of the cycling team at law firm Leigh Day, who dealt with Mr Robinson's claim, said:
"Cycling is Brian's life and we are extremely pleased to have played a role in getting him back on his bike. It has also been an honour to have helped a legend of the cycling world in his legal claim."
Brian Robinson said: " I would have preferred that it had not happened, but I have been pleasantly surprised by how this incident has been handled through my British Cycling membership.
"I have had a great medical once over and I am obviously pleased with the compensation which has enabled me to get back on my bike as quickly as possible."

ATLANTA -- Out of the corner of his eye, North Carolina senior Justin Watts saw someone doing jumping jacks under the basket.
He didn't know who it was, and with about three seconds left and his team leading NC State by two points Saturday, he didn't really care: "All I knew was that I had to get there -- fast."
So sprinting harder than several teammates had ever seen him sprint before, the 6-foot-5 athlete cut off NC State junior Scott Wood's pass to an open DeShawn Painter, grabbed a steal, and threw it to the other end of the Phillips Arena Court.
"JWatts probably made the biggest play of the game,'' North Carolina coach Roy Williams said after his team survived one last desperation play to beat the Wolfpack 69-67; the Tar Heels advanced to their 31st ACC tournament title game, where they will play Florida State on Sunday.
It was probably the biggest play, and game, of Watts' career, too.
Many will credit UNC's 13th straight victory over rival NC State to point guard Kendall Marshall's 8-foot bank shot with 10.2 seconds left -- a controversial play that had Wolfpack fans (and coach Mark Gottfried) screaming "charge!" after the sophomore put a shoulder into State's Alex Johnson on his drive toward the hoop.
But even Marshall gave the kudos to Watts, who played four different positions because forward John Henson (sprained wrist) was sidelined and so many others were in foul trouble.
"He does so many things that so many people might not notice, might not appreciate,'' said Marshall, who finished with 12 points and 10 assists. "But hopefully … people can see how big he came up for us in this game."
Indeed, when Marshall picked up his second foul, Watts -- a natural wing -- spent some time at point guard.
"I was just catching and pitching ahead; I wasn't trying to do much,'' said Watts, who had played only one other (short) stretch this season at the '1.' "When you've got guys to throw it into like [Tyler] Zeller and Harrison [Barnes], they make you look a lot better than you are."
And when UNC freshman James Michael McAdoo (making his first career start with Henson sidelined) picked up his fourth foul, Watts found himself playing power forward and guarding 6-8 star forward C.J. Leslie.
"He's taller than me, so I just tried to use my quickness to stay in front of him,'' Watts said.
That became key with 8:35 left, when Watts slid in front of Leslie to draw Leslie's fourth foul (the second of three infractions for which the Wolfpack sophomore was called in a 91-second span, resulting in his fouling out). It was another whistle that had Wolfpack fans screaming in fury.
"In terms of calls, I think the final [tally] was something like 23-19, so you can't really complain that was lopsided,'' Barnes (16 points), who drew the fifth foul on Leslie (22 points), said. "They were calling it pretty tight, but for good reason -- you don't want to let UNC-NC State get out of hand."
It was a frenetic battle, though, one that saw 15 lead changes, one coat-shuck (by Gottfried), and several rare possessions of zone defense by the Tar Heels.
Zeller led UNC with 23 points, but he too credited Watts for doing so many important things in the victory. The reserve made only 1 of his 4 shots, but also had four rebounds, an assist and three steals -- including that key, racing grab in the final seconds.
"He fills so many roles for us," Williams said. "A tremendous leader, a tremendous young man, tremendous versatility. He's been asked to do so many things this year … JWatts is not selfish. He cares about our team, and that's an admirable quality to have. It's a quality that's going to be good for him the rest of his life."
Asked why he's so willing to fill so many roles, Watts, who tends to shun the spotlight, explained his reasoning: "I'll do whatever it takes to help my team win."
Perhaps that's why, after the Wolfpack couldn't convert on a desperation play with 1.2 seconds left, Watts grabbed the game ball -- the same one he had swiped not long before -- and briefly pressed it to his lips.
"I was kissing the ball because it bounced our way a couple of times,'' he said. "I appreciate that ball."

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer's highest-paid partner took home £2.5m last year, down 14 per cent from 2011/12, the firm's LLP accounts have shown.
The drop comes on the back of an audited fall in net profit of 5 per cent, from £329.1m in 2011/12 to £312.3m last year (28 January 2013). The amount due to the highest-paid partner includes payments in relation to their retirement from the firm, according to the accounts.
However despite the profit drop, Freshfields reported a substantial increase in cash in the bank at year-end. The net cash balance rose from £35.5m the previous year to £55m at the end of 2012/13 – a rise of 55 per cent.
The hike came after two years of falling cash balances. At the end of 2009/10 Freshfields reported net cash of £153.1m, but this dropped to £89m in 2010/11 and then further the following year.
Freshfields' accounts also showed that the provision for annuities payable to current partners on their retirement and to retired partners increased "significantly" last year, from £929.7m on 1 May 2012 to £1.07bn at 30 April 2013. The annuities are conditional on the existence of future profits and are capped each year at a maximum of 10 per cent of Freshfields' profit, with the provision expected to be utilised over a period of 50 years.
The accounts said: "The increase has arisen almost entirely as a consequence of the decrease in the rate used to discount the future obligations to a current year-end value. The discount rate fell during the year from 4.6 per cent at 30 April 2012 to 3.8 per cent at 30 April 2013."
Of the provision, £520.4m is a provision for retired members, £440m for current members, and £110m for non-members of the LLP.
Freshfields' defined benefit pension scheme, which was closed on 30 June 2010, reported a net deficit of £16.3m at year-end last year, compared to a £5.4m deficit the previous year.
The LLP accounts showed a 4.5 per cent rise in revenue last year, from £1.18bn to £1.23bn. The increase is smaller than that reported by the firm in July (5 July 2013) but the revenue figure is slightly higher than the unaudited results of £1.21bn.
Staff costs rose by some 4.6 per cent, from £529.6m in 2011/12 to £554m last year, while staff numbers went up by 1.9 per cent, from 4,476 lawyers and staff to 4,561. However the average number of LLP members dropped from 350 in 2011/12 to 332 last year.

Graduate jobless rate at new high
Unemployment among graduates is at its highest in nearly two decades as thousands struggle to find work, research has suggested.
Some 8.9% of those who left university last year (around 21,000) were without a job six months later as graduates suffered from the effects of the recession, according to a study by the Higher Education Careers Services Unit (HECSU).
The last time unemployment among graduates reached these kinds of levels was during 1992/93 when it reached 11.6%, HECSU said.
The What Do Graduates Do? research is based on data collected by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), which surveyed 82% of last year's graduates to find who was employed, in further study, or out of work.
The findings show that the public sector was one of the few areas to weather the recession, continuing to recruit new graduates. But new announcements of cuts in the sector could mean this is set to change.
The proportion of graduates gaining work as health professionals and associate professionals rose by 0.2% to 14.8% while the percentage employed in the social and welfare sector increased by 0.5% to 5.2%.
But there was a 0.1% drop in the proportion of students gaining employment as education professionals.
Charlie Ball, HECSU deputy research director, said: "Graduate unemployment hasn't risen as high as we feared and is some way off the levels of the last recession in 1992, when it reached 11.6%.
"Prospects for graduates in the short-term look brighter, with unemployment, as a result of the downturn, likely to have peaked and next year we expect to see a decline. However, with the anticipated public sector job cuts the future in the medium-term looks less clear."
The findings show that both retail and marketing increased their graduate intake last year while graduates with degrees in geography, law and psychology also fared well. All three subjects had unemployment rates lower than the average (7.4%, 6.2% and 8.3% respectively).

Starting your own art collection can be an intimidating arena to enter into, but Zatista is here to encourage you to feel empowered to take that leap of faith. An influx of online art galleries have emerged with highly curated works and a buying experience every bit as enjoyable as brick and mortar galleries – with the benefit of many additional perks and conveniences. Zatista does the heavy lifting of carefully selecting the most talented artists to be represented on the site for easily discoverable and purchasable works, while you sip coffee and enjoy.
Representing nearly 400 high profile and emerging artists, they are the leading online curated original art gallery, showcasing the best fine and contemporary original art, photography…and more recently sculpture. Featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, InStyle, Country Living and more, they have been a secret go-to source for many high profile collectors, interior designers, corporate buyers and art lovers from around the world searching for that perfect piece.
As there are so many varying art mediums, Zatista's very own Jordan Milne (Co-Founder and VP of Business Development) is going to narrow in on the importance of sculptures and how they can actually compliment your home's interior design.
Ways That Buying Original Sculptures Can Enhance Your Interior Design
There are lots of reasons to get excited about sculpture. Whether you're a collector looking for that unique find, a designer seeking to enhance a space, an art lover ready to appreciate an artist's 3D vision or all of the above, sculpture is a fantastic category to explore for interior design.
Sculpture brings to light other elements such as texture, depth and even movement for kinetic sculpture. It is an alluring way to tell a story, touch our senses and influence a space. Sculpture is an incredibly powerful medium. In a room, large sculptures can work well as a strong statement piece whereas a smaller tabletop sculpture can play well as a compliment to other works. The beautiful thing about sculpture is that it contributes to a room in more ways than one, offering a unique visual and perspective from all angles and sight lines. Interior designers and collectors alike are waking up to sculpture.
Sculptures, like other art mediums can be an investment, and it makes sense to view the purchase of your artwork as such. The most important advice, however is simply to select a piece you love and just can't live without.
Do You Know What The Most Expensive Sculpture Sold For?
Recently, Jeff Koon broke the record for highest sum ever paid for a work by a living artist, according to The Hollywood Report, with his balloon dog sculpture aptly titled "Balloon Dog (Orange)."
Is All Artwork On Zatista As Spendy As Jeff Koon's Balloon Dog?
The answer is no! There are a variety of price points for those who understandably balk at the 50 million dollar price tag. In fact, our website is very user-friendly and intuitive for you to easily search for artwork that is only within your price point. Take a look at our recently launched sculpture collection!
Do You Dare To Bring This Head-Strong Piece Into Your Home?
This sculpture from Frank Illo, was created out of 100-year-old reclaimed pine. All 16 inches of "Taurus" stand tall and strong even as the artist's signature tickles its underbelly. Priced at $2,775, this is a wonderful piece to strengthen any space!
"Juglans Orb" was created through many manipulations of the wood to land at this sculpture. Cody Powell says his expressionism comes from "letting go and gut reacting to each new cut." Powell's precision in free carving and wire brushes is priced at $3,375.
As we were all running around, trying to catch bubbles as children, Candace Knapp captured their allure forever in her sculpture, "Blue Bubble." She found the slippery silhouette of a bubble moving upward from the bottom of the sea and crafted it. It is $2,500 to own a bubble you could never catch.
Stefan Nenov's "Relative Identity," tries to tackle a 3D representation of the need to be connected with everything through the internet. This sculpture of mixed media grounds itself in the icons and symbols that plague our online life. At $4,000, Nevov's sculpture will stay with you as you meander through all of your life journeys.
Ready To Take The Plunge And Add To Your Very Own Art Collection?
Owning your first, second or thirteenth piece of art is made simple with today's online market. I hope that after reading today's blog, you have lost the notion that you have to be wealthy or an art history major to have a sculpture in your home. These pieces are yours for the taking. We do warn you that once you buy your first piece it's hard to stop. You've been warned...

If you haven't been to this great little bookstore on Southeast Morrison, you really should check it out especially if you enjoy having your intellectual pretensions pandered to. (I do!)
When Erik and I did our epic Visiting All the Portland Bookstores that Aren't Powell's feature a few years ago, we wrote the following blurb about it, in which we managed to use "pretentious" three times in like 100 words (we is write good):
Mother Foucault's is a pretentious bookstore in the fine tradition of pretentious bookstores—one of the used books we pulled off the shelf bore a Shakespeare and Company stamp. The shop is tiny and relatively new, but somehow seems ancient, like a toddler wearing glasses. The shelves go so high there's an actual slidey ladder, just like in Beauty and the Beast, and they're well stocked in Important Books, with an emphasis on fiction and criticism. It is, in short, the kind of bookstore every undergrad intellectual dreams of owning. Pretentious? Sure, but also great. Plus, bonus points for any bookstore this classy that has a name that sounds suspiciously like "Motherfucker's."

Unfortunately, that's all we've got time for. I've been Oliver Emmerson, and have a very good day.
That's it, all over in California as Liverpool register a comfortable 2-0 win over AC Milan thanks to second-half goals from Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino.
Full-time: Liverpool 2-0 AC Milan
87: Great save by Gabriel! Ojo bursts down the right again, his cross pushed out towards Firmino who shoots, with the 'keeper pushing it wide.
83: Bonaventura finds room on the left to angle a cross towards substitute Honda, but his looping header drops onto the roof of the net.
81: Randall gets an effort on target, prodding a weak effort towards goal as the ball drops to him from a corner.
76: Klavan, Lovren and Henderson off for Brannagan, Randall and Wisdom. It's quite the re-shuffle, Brannagan and Randall in midfield, whilst Kevin Stewart has dropped into central defence.
73: The second had been coming, and here it is. Markovic sent Ojo running with a brilliant pass, but Ojo had no right to get to the ball before Paletta, showing his blistering pace to get there first, before a cross is deflected towards Firmino, who taps in.
GOAL!! Firmino doubles Liverpool's lead!
71: Oh dear, poor officiating. Origi picks up the ball in the box, turning quickly before lashing it into the bottom corner, but the flag is up for offside against him, with replays showing that decision to be wrong. It should be 2-0.
69: Alberto Moreno's been very good since coming on at half-time. Starting with that assist for the goal, he's now just sent in a lovely cross towards Firmino and Origi, neither of whom can quite take advantage as it's bundled out for a corner.
62: Good chance for Niang as a superb Abate cross finds him, but he heads over after having done the hard work to get away from Lovren. Sheyi Ojo is on for Liverpool, replacing Milner.
60: Fantastic finish from Divock Origi, back amongst the goals just 15 minutes into pre-season for him! Alberto Moreno finds him with a fantastic pass in behind the defence, with Origi's great first touch setting him up to cut inside and curl the ball across goal into the bottom right hand corner.
GOAL! Origi puts Liverpool ahead!
57: A quiet start to the second half, possibly due to the amount of substitutions that took place. Stewart's in some pain for Liverpool, he took a kick to the knee from Kucka.
52: Clever play from Firmino as he takes a quick free-kick to Origi, whose cross just drops over Markovic's head, Clyne unable to get to the ball whilst it's still in a promising area.
45: Back underway! When will the first goal come?
A raft of half-time changes for Liverpool. Origi, Clyne, Firmino, Moreno, Markovic and Stewart on for Wijnaldum, Alexander-Arnold, Sturridge, Mane, Coutinho, Lallana.
Liverpool have definitely been the better side in the first half, dominating the game, creating the best chance when Sadio Mane was put through. He'll have been disappointed to miss that chance, as the Senegalese winger continues to search for his first Liverpool goal.
Half-time: Liverpool 0-0 AC Milan
45: Liverpool continue to press for an opener as half-time edges close, Alexander-Arnold with a good cross which just evades Sturridge.
41: What a chance! Big miss from Mane, as an Alexander-Arnold interception sets Liverpool off on the counter. Wijnaldum shifts it to Coutinho, who cuts the defence apart with a fantastic through ball for the winger, who strikes straight at Gabriel from close range.
40: Yellow card for Adam Lallana, for a pretty rubbish tackle on Antonelli, in layman's terms.
38: Oooh, there's a chance wasted there. Liverpool win the ball high up the pitch, presenting Mane and Sturridge with a two-on-one situation, but Mane overhits his pass, and by the time Sturridge gets it Milan have recovered numbers. The striker played it to Lallana, who curled a shot over.
34: Lovren dives in for a tackle prematurely and gets skipped around by Niang, who shoots wide from range.
33: AC Milan forced into a change, the injured Bertolacci off for Kucka.
32: Mignolet forced into something of a save as Lovren's clearance is charged down by Antonelli, but it's not a hard one for the Belgian to hold.
29: Half a chance for Sturridge as the ball breaks kindly for Wijnaldum, who again provides a good pass, but his right-footed effort is blocked.
28: Wijnaldum floats a lovely pass outside to Alexander-Arnold, Montolivo getting back well to clear the right-back's low cross before it could find a teammate.
26: A nice backheel from Sturridge finds Milner in a good shooting position, but he can't seem to get his body in the right position before being tackled.
21: Niang is down here for AC Milan. He completely sped past Lovren with his pace, attempting to go past Klavan with a roulette, but the Estonian defender times his challenge perfectly to win the ball.
20: Just less than halfway through this first half and it's been all Liverpool so far. They're still yet to force Gabriel into a save, though.
16: Liverpool racing up the pitch quickly with Lallana on the counter, Wijnaldum picks up the ball in the centre and sets up Sturridge, who has his first time shot blocked.
11: Nice work from the English side as they move the ball well in midfield, Sturridge eventually setting up Lallana who perhaps wrongly opts to cross rather than shoot, and it's blocked away.
10: For those wondering how Liverpool have set up, it's a 4-3-3 with Wijnaldum and Lallana either side of Henderson, who's the deepest of the three. Mane and Coutinho on the wings, Sturridge up front.
8: Liverpool nearly opened up as Montolivo chips a lovely ball over the top, but former Red Suso sees his touch let him down.
4: Abate involved at the other end of the pitch, surging down his right hand side before a low cross is jabbed away by Dejan Lovren.
2: Good start for Liverpool. Mane allowed far too much room on the right as he sends a teasing cross in for Coutinho, Abate just doing enough to stop the Brazilian from registering a shot on target.
0: We're off and underway!
Just 10 minutes until kick-off now! A big night for Trent Alexander-Arnold, with the 17-year-old looking to make his case to be Nathaniel Clyne's backup this season.
AC Milan XI: Gabriel, Abate, Vergara, Romagnoli Antonelli, Zanellato, Bertolacci, Montolivo, Suso, Niang, Adriano.
Daniel Sturridge makes his first start of pre-season, whilst there is a debut for Wijnaldum! Interestingly, it looks like James Milner will start at left-back, a position that Klopp could use him in this season. Read more about that, here. Divock Origi is on the bench too, he's yet to play in pre-season.
Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Klavan, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Mane, Coutinho, Sturridge.
Not long until we get that confirmed team news!
These two have only ever met twice in competitive action before, both in Champions League finals, quite a crazy statistic! There's the famous Istanbul final of 2005, when Liverpool stormed back from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 and win on penalties, plus the lesser remembered 2007 final in Athens, when Milan won 2-1 to get their revenge.
Milan fans will certainly be looking forward to seeing more of 21-year-old forward M'Baye Niang, who scored against Bayern Munich in the 3-3 draw. He scored eight goals in 19 appearances for the Rossoneri last season, a very healty output indeed, and he'll be hoping to get into double figures on the scoring charts and make even more appearances in the coming season.
One man who won't play a part today is Loris Karius, after it was confirmed that the new Liverpool 'keeper broke his hand against Chelsea, possibly in an incident where he missed the ball and punched defender Dejan Lovren. It's come as a huge blow, as it's likely to keep the German out for around two months, meaning he'll miss the start of the Premier League season, which is now just two weeks away.
Liverpool were without a few key names for that game against Chelsea, including England international's Daniel Sturridge and Nathaniel Clyne. It's thought that at least one of them could play some part today, whilst new signing Georginio Wijnaldum is expected to make his debut, having signed from Newcastle United in the last week. The likes of Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino are expected to start, whilst it's not yet known whether or not Emre Can is in contention for a place, having returned for pre-season training on Tuesday.
AC Milan have also played one game in the competition already, coming up against Bayern Munich just hours before Liverpool played Chelsea. They took part in a thrilling 3-3 draw with the Bundesliga side, as Franck Ribery scored in the last minute to take the game to a penalty shoot-out, which Milan won 5-3. That puts them on two points from one game, with Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the USA/Europe table, having won two out of two games in normal time so far.
Indeed, it's another early start for those back in the United Kingdom getting up to watch the Reds, having seen them play Chelsea at the same venue as today's game earlier this week, Thursday morning to be precise. Liverpool slipped to a 1-0 defeat due to Gary Cahill's first-half header in a fairly ill-tempered game, which saw Cesc Fabregas sent off for a reckless challenge on Ragnar Klavan. The Merseysiders found it difficult to break down a tough Chelsea backline after the Blues went ahead, so will be hoping to pick up their first points of the competition today.
Good morning everyone and welcome to VAVEL UK's live minute-by-minute commentary of today's International Champions Cup game between Liverpool and AC Milan. I'm Oliver Emmerson, and I'll be taking you through all of the action at the Levi Stadium, California, with kick-off set for 3;05AM UK time!

Cheyenne State Leader for January 28, 1917. Utah Guard Crosses Mexican border?
Just two days ago we noted the centennial of a Punitive Expedition Era clash between "Mexican forces" and the Utah National Guard.
On this day, residents of Wyoming were reading about it in their papers.
Folks in Cheyenne learned that the Mexican forces were Constitutionalist troops, which I believe to be accurate. They also read, however, that the Utah Guard crossed the border into Mexico.
That would have been a hugely significant matter, if correct. Generally, National Guard units were not supposed to cross the border into Mexico, and in the opinion of the United States Attorney General at the time, couldn't leave the country at all (although they certainly had in prior eras). Unfortunately, with the passage of time, it's difficult to tell if they did cross for sure or not. I suspect they did, as the newstory rings true for the time.

Morris aims to fly flag for Irish with Grand challenge
The top 40 horses were all declared today for Saturday's Aintree Grand National and there was no major surprises with Lord Windermere topping the weights and seven Irish horses set to go to post in the race which hasn't been won by an Irish trained horse since Silver Birch in 2007.
Katie Walsh's third place finish on Seabass in the Aintree Grand National remains the closest a female rider has ever come to winning the world's most famous race but confidence is growing from connections of First Lieutenant that her sister-in-law Nina Carberry can do even better than that on Saturday.
As it stands at the moment, last Monday's Irish Grand National winning jockey has no ride in the race but Nina Carberry has been booked for the former Grade One winner, trained by Mouse Morris, and after the trainer saddled the second and the fourth in the Fairyhouse renewal earlier in the week there are obvious signs that his horses are beginning to fire again.
Morris said: "The horse couldn't be better, we just want a bit of luck now.
"We can take a lot of positives out of Monday, even if it was a bit frustrating.
"Everything we've run of late has run well, so fingers crossed.
"Nina has been and popped the horse over some Aintree fences and they seemed to get on fine. She's a brilliant jockey for Aintree. Hopefully, he'll give her a great ride. I think he will.
The former Gold Cup winning trainer added: "It was great for Katie to win the race on Monday and hopefully Nina can do the same at the weekend.
"We'll try and keep the women happy!"

Damas River Mangrove Jungle Adventure
Duration: Half Day
Enjoy one of the best wildlife adventures in Costa Rica on the beautiful Damas River and Estuary, near Quepos and Manuel Antonio. Travel by boat along the unique and protected inland waterways of Isla Damas (Damas Island), through mysterious, dense mangrove forests. Observe one of the most important ecosystems in the world.
The intriguing red and black mangroves you will see here include most of the varieties found in Costa Rica, which are legally protected but not always monitored. This tour combines adventure with education as local naturalist guides share their extensive knowledge of this complex eco-system, which is vital to Costa Rica and the world.
As your boat travels leisurely down the various mangrove canals, along the gentle currents of the coastal tides, you will learn about the biological relationships between many of the diverse organisms in this unique habitat, each with their own role to play. A plethora of tropical plants and native wildlife can be observed here, including white faced monkeys, waterfowl, herons, Jesus Christ lizards, snakes, frogs, American crocodiles, mangrove crabs, iguanas, caimans, boa constrictors, three-toed sloths, crab-eating racoons, giant ant-eaters, bats, egrets, kingfishers and a vast array of exotic birds nesting and roosting in the mangroves, which serve as a sanctuary from predators.
Beneath the water's surface, a large diversity of life forms can be found in both the fresh and salt water, including corals, algae, oysters, crabs, shrimps, fish and many more. The mangroves are extremely vital to the health of the marine ecosystem, which is one reason why they must be protected.
Exploring the mysterious coastal mangrove areas on your holiday in Costa Rica will lead you on a journey through nature and time, in a place of unparalleled beauty and amazing bio-diversity. This unique tour is a must for nature lovers, and will hopefully leave you with a new respect for this fascinating ecosystem, which Costa Ricans are working so hard to preserve.
What to bring: Cool comfortable clothes and shoes, sun block, insect repellent, hat, binoculars and camera. Length of tour: Half day.

The Gottfried and Mary Fuchs Organ in Lagerquist Concert Hall took 35,000 hours to complete. Of those hours, 1,000 were dedicated solely to planning.
Last Saturday, Campus Ministry provided several Pacific Lutheran University students the opportunity to tour the workshop of Paul Fritts, the craftsman who created the Fuchs Organ.
It was in this workshop that Fritts assembled the Fuchs Organ, disassembled it for transport and reassembled it in Lagerquist, installing it in January 1998. "We were working [installing the organ] while rehearsals were going on," Fritts said.
Fritts told students who attended the tour that there was some debate about how grandiose the Fuchs Organ should be. Some members of the committee in charge of designing Lagerquist wanted the organ to be shorter, Fritts said, but the committee eventually agreed that the organ was an "architectural entity of its own."
Today PLU students and visitors can enjoy the resonant sounds of the Fuchs Organ in Lagerquist during chapel and concerts.
Paul Fritts & Company Organ Builders has been building organs in its workshop in Parkland for more than 30 years. Tucked away on 121 Street and close to PLU, the workshop is adjacent to the house where Fritts grew up.
During the workshop tour, Fritts showed students several magnificent organs that are awaiting shipment to their new homes.
Paul Tegels, associate professor of music and a concert organist, gave tour attendees a sample of music from several of the organs.
From a robust rendition of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" to a chapel-worthy "How Great Thou Art," Tegels showcased the brilliance of Fritts' craftsmanship.
Catherine Graham, a sophomore who attended the tour, said she was intrigued by the differences in sound.
"Most of the time, I don't get a chance to hear two organs played in the same room at the same time," Graham said.
Fritts has many ongoing projects. One recent project was refurbishing the organ from Tower Chapel in Eastvold Chapel and Auditorium. Built in 1964, the organ featured what is known as a "New Baroque" sound, which enjoyed brief popularity in the 1960s.
Fritts modernized this dated sound. The organ is completed and will be transported to PLU upon completion of the renovations in Eastvold.
Junior Tommy Flanagan, missions coordinator of the University Congregation Council, was a part of the Campus Ministry team that planned the tour.
Fritts' workshop is "Parkland's best kept secret, because nobody knows that there is a world-renowned organ maker on 121 Street," Flanagan said.
While the Fuchs Organ in Lagerquist is strikingly large with almost 4,000 pipes and three keyboards, the University of Notre Dame recently commissioned Paul Fritts & Company Organ Builders to build an even larger organ. Fritts said he estimates the project will take three years to complete.

Mr Turnbull described the result as a historic moment and acknowledged that many Australians had watched the election campaign with awe and at times, consternation.
"We have no stronger relationship, whether it's on the battlefield or in commerce, than we have with the United States," Mr Turnbull said.
"We'll continue to work with our friends in the United States through the Trump administration, just as we have through the Obama administration, just as we always will."
"It's very important in this time of unprecedented change, economic change, technological change, to ensure all sectors of the community are not left behind," he told ABC TV.

"Kamil and his father were excellent from beginning to end. Friendly, punctual and very tidy. Extremely hard working and tough! They took down an old artex ceiling and replaced it with plasterboard and finally skimming it all out, level and smooth. They did all this work without any fuss or complaint. I would fully recommend their work. Thank you!"

Giant CaterpillarKTCM's efforts to provide the town centre with a welcome boost were revealed this week a new event for Kirkcaldy Town Centre taking place on Saturday 21st June 2008 which is set to make the town centre "buzz" with activity.
Building on previous innovative events brought to the town centre (giant butterflies, ostriches and the ant orchestra), KTCM has attracted quite probably the most spectacular array of street theatre acts to the town. Three separate giant acts will be in Kirkcaldy High Street, interacting and entertaining the crowds and shopping public. Dubbed the "Mini Giant Day", the acts include:
• Caterpillar – a 4 metre wide x 5metre high x10metre long inflatable puppet operated by ten performers using cold air parading through the town centre
• Spanish style street theatre procession including the return of the giant Drumming Ants and a selection of characters influenced by Salvador Dali. This will feature the Dancing Giants (Dali and Gala) which are puppets the size of a house and great dancers!
12 noon till 12.45pm – Caterpillar parade
2pm – 2.45pm – Drumming Ants and Dali Dancers
Sunil Varu, Kirkcaldy Town Centre Manager, said,
"We have searched long and hard to bring the people of Kirkcaldy and visitors the most amazing mini-festival which will undoubtedly liven up Kirkcaldy Town Centre. These street theatre acts have performed across Europe at places like Nice Carnival and Edinburgh Hogmanay, and it's fantastic that we have brought them here. People of all ages will be astounded at the sheer size and scale of these monster puppets and hopefully get a huge deal of enjoyment from them. I have to say – these simply have to be seen to be believed!"
