The Personification of Hip-Hop
Rap is poetry. There is no denying it. Some say, "That's absurd, rap music isn't poetry". I beg to differ. Although some rap doesn't really do the art of poetry justice, many rappers use the craft of language, imagery, and rhyme with poetic intent. The Finest example of this? Personification.
As one of the most sophisticated mechanisms in poetry, personification is defined as
The attribution of human nature or character to animals, inanimate objects, or abstract notions, especially as a rhetorical figure.
Let's explore the Top 20 moments where rappers used personification.
20. Blu — Amnesia
"Naïve as the dry leaves on the ground
Lookin' past the tree to the blue sky askin':
Why me?"
Blu is a prolific West Coast MC, who is widely considered as the "poet of hip-hop." In Amnesia, Blu personifies a fallen leaf, forsaken by the very tree from which it fell, blaming the heavens for its plight.
19. Cam'ron — D'Rugs
"When he come around see her facial,
Guess it was his fragrance
She sniffed it in her nasal"
Cam'ron cleverly personifies his mother's drug addiction as an abusive boyfriend named D-rugs. He takes on the perspective of a young Cam, who ends up as a locked up dealer.
18. Mobb Deep & Q-tip — Drink Away the Pain
"Met her back in '89 now she's 22
Acting like she 40, she said all I need is a man to support me"
This song as a whole personifies dangerous material addictions. Mobb Deep compares liquor to a seductive woman, and Q-tip creates a metaphorical heist scene with name-brand clothes.
17. Styles P — Nobody Believes Me
Styles P goes off in this track, switching voices, perspectives, and staging a 5-way conversation between himself, his gun, his knife, his money, and his weed.
16. Baltimore Love Thing — 50 Cent
"The fiends need me, I ain't around, they bones ache
Detox, rehab, cold sweats, watch them shake"
In this rare song, 50 cent personifies the relationship between heroine and addicts in Baltimore. Not only can we annotate this song, but 50 can too! Click the title to see his own verified annotations!
15. Spice 1 — 187 Proof
"Jack and Juice said Mickey wouldn't survive
But Mickey was slick he had a Colt 45"
Spice 1, the East Bay rapper, personifies an assortment of liquors in one of hip-hop's first moments of personification. Notably, hearing this track is what made master personifier, Lupe Fiasco, realize the potential of hip-hop.
14. Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Slick Rick & The RZA — The Sun
Four of hip-hop's greatest storytellers team up to personify and show appreciation towards the sun.
13. Wale, Curren$y & J.Cole — Rather be (Vagina is for Lovers)
Back before Wale was signed to MMG, and he was making mixtapes with 9th Wonder, he enlisted Cole & Spitta to make a song about vaginas. Through their clever personification of the female genitalia, they narrowly avoid misogyny and make an all around great song about one of man's ongoing struggles.
12. Organized Konfusion — Stray Bullet
From the genius minds of Pharoahe Monch and Prince Poetry comes an enticing tale from the perspective of a stray bullet. The song shows how accidental and tragic gun deaths can be, and has taken on a new context during the current gun control debate.
11. Lupe Fiasco — Daydreamin'
Lupe, the mastermind of sneaking social commentary in popular songs, invents a new form of personification in this song, "robotification." He characterizes the robot's body parts with different aspects of the ghetto.
10. DOOM — My Favorite Ladies
The enigma himself, DOOM, describes his favorite drugs while personifying them as unfaithful women.
9. Nas & Busta Rhymes — Fried Chicken
"Mmm… Fried chicken, fly vixen
Give me heart disease but need you in my kitchen"
Nas and Busta personify fried chicken as a seductress. The lustful and unhealthy relationship in the song symbolizes the interplay between African American culture and high-cholesterol food.
8. Masta Ace (feat. Jean Grae) — Hold U
Masta Ace & Jean Grae team up to deliver a romantic ode to the microphone. Ace speaks to the microphone directly, whereas Jean Grae actually takes on the point of view of the microphone itself.
7. KRS 1 — I Can't Wake Up
"This is insane, I'm caught by House of Pain
I'm picked up, they said they gonna Put My Head Out"
KRS takes us on an inception-like journey about a dream-state where he becomes a blunt, and he can't wake up. He gets passed around by Cypress Hill, to De La Soul, to Redman, and eventually, to Bill Clinton.
6. Jeru the Damaga — You Can't Stop the Prophet
"He has an army, they always give me trouble
Mainly — Hatred, Jealousy and Envy, they attack me"
As one of the more abstract personifications, Jeru the Damaja takes on ignorance, personifying the concept as an arch-nemesis.
5. 2Pac — Me and My Girlfriend
Although Pac wasn't the first rapper to personify a gun as a woman, and was reportedly inspired by Nas to write the song, it is the passion which he draws out the metaphor with that makes this song so special.
4. Kanye West — Homecoming
Kanye, a student of the game, takes in the influences of the personification that came before him and creates an epic ballad personifying his hometown, Chicago.
3. Lupe Fiasco — Streets on Fire / Put You on Game
"My femme fatale my darling fraudulent angel
Once caught her changing the batteries in her halo"
"I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name
Cause I'm the—"
Lupe Fiasco's The Cool, a concept album about a young hustler who is immortalized as a zombie, has to be one of hip-hop's greatest examples of personification. The two characters who lured Michael Young History to his death are The Streets and The Game, personified into a seductive prostitute and a skeletal kingpin.
To find out more about the ever-layered COOL saga, read the Rap Genius article, Lupe Fiasco, the Proust of Rap.
2. Nas — I Gave You Power
As opposed to Pac's abrasive passion, Nas uses calculated and vivid details to spit a verse from the perspective of a gun. The story takes a turn when the gun becomes sick of the violent culture it is a part of and decides not to participate.
Nas and Dj Premier speak on the making of I Gave You Power in this interview
1. Common — I Used to love H.E.R
I met this girl, when I was ten years old
And what I loved most she had so much soul"
Hip-Hop's magnum Opus of personification is about, well, hip-hop. Common pens a nostalgic love song about his relationship with hip-hop during a time period when the art form was shifting towards the mainstream and the gangsta. The song is poignant, melancholic, poetic, and all around, genius.
Honorable Mentions:
Lupe Fiasco — Twilight Zone & Gotta Eat
Drop a comment if you think I missed a song.
Peace and Love,

In fact, I'm pretty sure that any update will be a lot faster than svn, because git just transmits the delta off the bat while svn goes through the entire repo looking into every .svn file. There are overheads with dealing with separate repositories which make getting good performance difficult - I have no doubt it is possible with some work, but it is not straightforward. For instance, as I mentioned, one of the main overheads that might not have been obvious was that of creating one ssh connection for every repository to be updated. It turns out 'mr' does support parallel updates, which is good, so I misremembered that. It was the ssh connection sharing that I don't think was supported. > The model of a single git repo with git submodules per package ought to make this significantly faster. I doubt that actual git submodules can be made to work intuitively for what we want - they are always tied to a specific version. (I suppose we might manage to script away the updating of the submodule status in the main git repo?) But ansgar had a nice idea for our case involving the data that PET makes available about the git heads - we might only need to run 'git pull' on a subset of the repositories, with a bit of scripting, which is ultimately what we need to make this work. >> Caveats: I did this testing one year ago (so not with git 1.6), and I >> found out afterwards that I was using really very slow disks (SSDs >> rather than HDDs). The disk speed could really affect this. > > I'm confused. If SSD you mean solid state drive, that should be significantly faster. SSDs have a much faster average seek time, but the actual maximum read/write transfer rate is generally slower than HDDs. Especially the larger SDD in my eeepc 1000, which is what I was trying to use. Adding a USB 2.0 HDD made everything much faster, I found later. -- Tim Retout <email@example.com>

You know what's fun? Developing theories. But I'm currently out of theories. What a shame. I guess I'll just have to type in this text box. I had an idea to get all my cores and spheres together and have them talk on here at some point. Since you all seem to love them so much.

Time for weekly blog post!
In today's post, we're going to discuss Choosing a Good Test Subject.
To choose a good test subject, they must have several traits.
• Lack of the following personality flaws
- Cowardice
- Impaired motor skills
- Poor judgement
- Fear of:
o heights
o weights
o depths
o bullets
o fire
• Lack of or extremely low tenacity
• Lack of any mental or physical disorders (unless for specialized testing)
• Lack of superpowers or mutations
• Between the age of 15 and 35 (this may vary for non-human species).
Test subjects under the prior requirements are good for a standard testing environment. These test subjects will not develop schizophrenic traits, nor will they leave the testing area or attempt to kill you. By following these requirements for a test subject, you can have a safe, successful, and scientific test.

Active Standard ASTM F3010 | Developed by Subcommittee: F06.40
Book of Standards Volume: 15.04
Significance and Use
4.1 Moisture permeating from concrete substrates can detrimentally affect the performance of resilient floor covering systems. All resilient flooring and adhesive manufacturers have a maximum acceptable level of moisture in which their products can perform satisfactorily. If pre-installation moisture tests indicate that the moisture level is unacceptable for the specified floor covering to be installed, one option is to apply a topical treatment to the concrete substrate surface to mitigate the moisture condition. Experience has shown that certain types of membrane-forming moisture mitigation systems have more desirable properties and successful performance than others. Requirements for membrane-forming moisture mitigation systems to be used, and other related details, are generally included as part of the project plans, or specification details, and may vary from the minimum recommendations set forth in this practice.
4.2 This practice is intended for use after it has been determined that a floor moisture condition exceeds the resilient floor covering or adhesive manufacturer's requirements, or both, as tested according to Test Methods F1869, F2170, and F2420.
4.3 Membrane-forming moisture mitigation systems are not intended for use over gypsum-based substrates or other moisture sensitive substrates.
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers the properties, application, and performance of a two-component resin based membrane-forming moisture mitigation system to high moisture concrete substrates prior to the installation of resilient flooring.
1.2 This practice includes recommendations for the preparation of the concrete surface to receive a two-component resin based membrane-forming moisture mitigation system.
1.3 This practice does not supersede written instructions of the two-component resin based membrane-forming moisture mitigation system manufacturer, the resilient flooring manufacturer, underlayment manufacturer, the adhesive manufacturer, or other components of the finish flooring system, or combinations thereof. Users of this practice shall review manufacturer's technical data sheets and installation instructions for compatibility of system components.
1.4 The following membrane-forming or non membrane-forming moisture mitigation systems are not included in the scope of this practice:
1.4.1 Moisture mitigation systems that chemically react with any constituent of the concrete to form a gel or crystalline substance within the concrete.
ICS Code
ICS Number Code 97.150 (Non-textile floor coverings)

Excerpt from Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo
Upper Main Street in the village of North Bath, just above the town's two-block-long business district, was quietly residential for three more blocks, then became even more quietly rural along old Route 27A, a serpentine two-lane blacktop that snaked its way through the Adirondacks of northern New York, with their tiny, down-at-the-heels resort towns, all the way to Montreal and prosperity. The houses that bordered Upper Main, as the locals referred to it-although Main, from its "lower" end by the IGA and Tastee Freez through its upper end at the Sans Souci, was less than a quarter mile-were mostly dinosaurs, big, aging clapboard Victorians and sprawling Greek Revivals that would have been worth some money if they were across the border in Vermont and if they had not been built as, or converted into, two- and occasionally three-family dwellings and rented out, over several decades, as slowly deteriorating flats. The most impressive feature of Upper Main was not its houses, however, but the regiment of ancient elms, whose upper limbs arched over the steeply pitched roofs of these elderly houses, as well as the street below, to green cathedral effect, bathing the street in breeze-blown shadows that masked the peeling paint and rendered the sloping porches and crooked caves of the houses quaint in their decay. City people on their way north, getting off the interstate in search of food and fuel, often slowed as they drove through the village and peered nostalgically out their windows at the old houses, wondering idly what they cost and what they must be like inside and what it would be like to live in them and walk to the village in the shade. Surely this would be a better life. On their way back to the city after the long weekend, some of the most powerfully affected briefly considered getting off the interstate again to repeat the experience, perhaps even look into the real estate market. But then they remembered how the exit had been tricky, how North Bath hadn't been all that close to the highway, how they were getting back to the city later than they planned as it was, and how difficult it would be to articulate to the kids in the backseat why they would even want to make such a detour for the privilege of driving up a tree-lined street for all of three blocks, before turning around and heading back to the interstate. Such towns were pretty, green graves, they knew, and so the impulse to take a second look died unarticulated and the cars flew by the North Bath exit without slowing down.
Perhaps they were wise, for what attracted them most about the three-block stretch of Upper Main, the long arch of giant elms, was largely a deceit, as those who lived beneath them could testify. For a long time the trees had been the pride of the neighborhood, having miraculously escaped the blight of Dutch elm disease. Only recently, without warning, the elms had turned sinister. The winter of 1979 brought a terrible ice storm, and the following summer the leaves on almost half of the elms strangled on their branches, turning sickly yellow and falling during the dog days of August instead of mid-October. Experts were summoned, and they arrived in three separate vans, each of which sported a happy tree logo, and the young men who climbed out of these vans wore white coats, as if they imagined themselves doctors. They sauntered in circles around each tree, picked at its bark, tapped its trunk with hammers as if the trees were suspected of harboring secret chambers, picked up swatches of decomposing leaves from the gutters and held them up to the fading afternoon light.
One white-coated man drilled a hole into the elm on Beryl Peoples' front terrace, stuck his gloved index finger into the tree, then tasted, making a face. Mrs. Peoples, a retired eighth-grade teacher who had been watching the man from behind the blinds of her front room since the vans arrived, snorted. "What did he expect it to taste like?" she said out loud. "Strawberry shortcake?" Beryl Peoples, "Miss Beryl" as she was known to nearly everyone in North Bath, had been living alone long enough to have grown accustomed to the sound of her own voice and did not always distinguish between the voice she heard in her ears when she spoke and the one she heard in her mind when she thought. It was the same person, to her way of thinking, and she was no more embarrassed to talk to herself than she was to think to herself. She was pretty sure she couldn't stifle one voice without stifling the other, something she had no intention of doing while she still had so much to say, even if she was the only one listening.

6 Reasons to Say "I Do" to a Fellow Entrepreneur
Written by MCJStaff // January 8, 2014 // 0 Comments
by C. Daniel Baker Posted: December 12, 2013
I'm an entrepreneur and I married an entrepreneur. No, I'm not crazy. OK, I am a little crazy, but more on that later.
I run an advertising agency called Rocket XL and my wife, Ro Cysne, is the co-founder of Jil Ro clothing. Like any relationship, it's not always a bed of roses. Our busy startup lives caused us to change the date of our wedding four times, and forget whose turn it was to pick up our son at preschool seven times (and counting).
But there are some big advantages to marrying one of your own, if you're daring enough to take the leap. Namely:
- Being crazy together. It's no secret that all entrepreneurs need to be a bit cracked in the head; otherwise, why would we start our own businesses when 50 percent fail in the first year? Shortly after Ro and I finally tied the not, after years of delaying, we once again had to postpone something else – our honeymoon to Mexico. I had a big client pitch that was scheduled at the last minute and I didn't want to have one foot in Mexico and one foot in Los Angeles, so we pushed off our honeymoon until the following year. Running her own startup, Ro understands the unpredictability of my schedule. But the craziest part is that rescheduling the honeymoon was her idea!
- Networking. Aside from always having a much-needed companion on my arm at networking events (which I hate attending more than root canal conventions), we both benefit from the connections that we meet everyday in the startup world. This year alone we've introduced each other to accountants, painters, web designers, and even a hip doctor.
- Piggybacking. Being an entrepreneur means being scrappy and trying to leverage what's at our fingertips. So naturally, Ro and I always take advantage of each other's businesses. Take the time last summer, when Ro was shooting her fall clothing collection in a Hollywood photo studio. My son Luke and I arrived mid-shoot while Ro's models were being prepped for their next outfit. We seized the opportunity, and grabbed the photographer for an impromptu family holiday greeting card. And even better for Luke, he shared a dressing room with the models, who couldn't stop kissing him (he'll thank me later).
- Short commutes. We're two of the lucky few that get to choose our office locations, so of course we chose two spots 10 minutes from our house. That means more valuable home time and less time spent in the car. Living in Los Angeles, it also helps that we don't get home with sore fists from punching the steering wheel in road rage while stuck in traffic on the 405.
- Motivation. As an entrepreneur, things get hard. They get hard a lot. And by "a lot" I mean every day. Who better to keep you from jumping off the nearest building and throwing in the towel than a fellow future tycoon who can empathize with your situation? Last week, when I came home whining about a difficult situation at the office, Ro helped me see the bigger picture by recounting a story of a similar situation with her company and how she got through it. Then I believe her choice words were something along the lines of, "Suck it up, honey."
- A built-in writing buddy. And the best reason of all? Ro gave me the idea for this article and helped me write it. Now, it's time to get Luke started on that lemonade stand of his…

Found May 11, 2012 on
Larry Brown Sports:
Marlins catcher Brett Hayes found himself ensnarled in a scary situation Thursday when he had a near front-row seat to a deadly police shootout on Florida's Turnpike. Sitting in traffic on his way to a birthday party, Hayes sent out this ominous tweet:
Sitting in traffic on the turnpike and a man with a gun just walked by our car.. Not good.
The gunman Hayes saw reportedly shot two members of law enforcement before eventually turning the gun on himself on the turnpike. Both officers' injuries are said to be non-life threatening.
"He and I made [eye] contact, and he looked like he was up to no good," Hayes said, per the Miami Herald. "Something was very wrong. I just had a very bad feeling. My wife and I were in shock. I told her 'Do not look at him.' He was walking like he was walking down the street. It was really creepy, but his face….it was pretty scary to be honest with you."
Earlier in the day, the unidentified shooter allegedly committed a carjacking before robbing a barbersho...

It's probably not much of a stretch to say that David Walker was the most high-profile U.S. comptroller general in American history. Of course, the country also faces possibly the biggest financial problems in its history, and Walker felt it was his duty to be the PowerPoint-wielding bearer of bad news—and, he hopes, a catalyst for change. In January, Walker left the government to head the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, whose purpose is to raise awareness about long-term sustainability issues, from entitlements to the environment. Walker recently chatted with U.S. News about America's fiscal future. Here are a few excerpts:
So far during this election season, one side is talking about big tax cuts, the other about big spending...
Neither side is very good at math.
Do you think the issue of fiscal responsibility has been given its due?
Absolutely not. First, I never expected that fiscal responsibility and intergenerational equity would be major issues in the primary campaign, and they haven't been. But it is absolutely imperative that they be an issue in the general election campaign because we have a much bigger subprime problem going on in regard to what the federal government is doing that would have a much greater adverse economic impact that could affect tens of millions of Americans if we don't start to do something about it. The next president has to be willing to deal with this.
Why is doing something now so imperative?
We have about a five- to 10-year—at most—closing window of opportunity to start addressing our fiscal challenges or else our foreign lenders are going to send us a signal that we will feel.
What do you mean when you say "our fiscal challenges"—like the subprime mortgage crisis?
With subprime you had a disconnect between the people who were originating the loans and earning the fees and the people who were bearing the risk of default. The analogy with the federal government is that there is a disconnect between current taxpayers benefiting from high-spend, low-tax policies and future taxpayers who will have to pay the bill with compound interest.
Second, in the current subprime situation, there was a lack of adequate transparency as to the magnitude of these transactions and the nature of the risk.... You have the exact same thing with regard to the federal government's off-balance-sheet obligations. The problem is not current deficits and debt levels. The problem is where we're headed in the $44 trillion-plus in unfunded obligations for Social Security and Medicare that's growing $2 trillion plus a year.... Cash is key. We are already negative cash flow for Medicare. We're going to go negative cash flow for Social Security within the next 10 years...though Social Security is not the real problem. It's healthcare that's going to bankrupt the country.
And you think the current campaign is neglecting this?
So all these debates people are having right now, "Gee, I want to expand healthcare for all, and I am going to pay for it through not extending the Bush tax cuts or whatever," that does nothing for this hole.... Beware of politicians making unfunded promises. The last time that happened was Medicare prescription drugs. It came with an $8 trillion price tag.... It is the same thing as our deficits, which excludes the fact that we spend every dime of the Social Security surplus. So the real deficits on an operating basis are $170 billion to $200 billion higher.
Why are you now in the private sector?
The reason I left my position as comptroller general of the United States is because I believe we have a closing window of opportunity to make changes in order to avoid a major crisis, and I believe I needed to be even more specific about proposed solutions and be even more aggressive about building broad-based coalitions and to be very active in trying to stimulate grass-roots efforts to get Congress to make decisions before we have a crisis—because we will have a crisis if we continue to kick the can down the road.
When will hear about some solutions?

It's in the news daily and has now become an election year issue. I'm referring, of course, to gas prices. Sure, it's painful to fill up your tank and see those numbers creeping upwards. Gas prices have increased around 8% since the beginning of the year, to a national average of about $3.59 a gallon. Here in California, we're about a dollar more than even that. Despite the angst, could there possibly be some positive aspects to this increase? Well, according to a recent Smart Money article, yes.

The drive to rally is deeply ingrained in the Higgins family DNA. Three generations have been involved … so far.
Last November, Subaru Rally Team USA driver David Higgins stood in the midst of the Subaru display at the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show. Among the featured Subaru vehicles at the show were two bearing the name Higgins.
One was the STI that Mark Higgins had driven to break a 21-year-old record for the fastest lap of the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course in a production car (read Journal entry about the event). The other was the STI rally car that David Higgins had driven to last year's Rally America National Championship and to break the record for the Mt. Washington Climb to the Clouds Hillclimb.
David Higgins commented on their successes … and their competitiveness: "I think part of the reason my brother and I have been so successful is our desire to beat each other – to drive a little bit further than other people. Because when you beat somebody you live with, those bragging rights go a long way. If you get beat by somebody else, you don't have to see them for a while – it's not such a big deal. That's why we've ended up being so competitive.
"When we go to a rally, the first person's times I ever want to see are his, and he's exactly the same way. It just drives us to be that little bit above the other guys."

Fortis heats up $36K energy rebate for CNC September 27, 2012 The College of New Caledonia has received a $36,209 rebate from FortisBC after installing two new high-efficiency boilers for its Technical Education Centre in Prince George. "Not only are we saving energy, we are saving money," said CNC's Manager of Facility Services Bob Bigelow. "And realistically, every dollar we can save on energy costs, we can dedicate towards enhancing opportunities for our students. This is a total win-win situation for everyone." CNC's Facilities Services department applied to FortisBC's Efficient Boiler Program in January 2011 and Bigelow worked closely with them to receive the rebate for the Viessmann boilers. The boilers provide hot water to support radiant slab heating, which also receives some energy from solar hot water panels on the roof of the tech centre. The solar panels heat the domestic hot water for the building, with excess used for radiant floor heating. "As the province's leading energy provider, FortisBC is committed to helping our customers get the most out of their energy dollar by providing financial incentives and advice on energy efficient practices," said Shelley Thomson, energy solutions manager FortisBC. "By installing these high-efficiency boilers, the College of New Caledonia will save approximately 166 tonnes of CO2, the equivalent of taking about eight cars off the road." "We look forward to continuing our relationship with FortisBC, and reducing our energy consumption even further," said Bigelow. For more information:

More copies of this ISBNBeauty from Afar: Medical Tourist Guide to Affordable and Quality Cosmetic Care Outside the Usby Jeff Schult
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A nip here, a tuck there. Less fat on the belly, butt, and thighs. More than half of all American adults admit they wouldn't mind looking "a little more perfect"-if they could afford the high price of plastic surgery. Now they can, by joining the flocks of medical tourists who are venturing to exotic overseas locales for cosmetic procedures that are equal to or better than those provided by the best doctors in Beverly Hills for as little as 10 percent of the cost. <BR>It's how journalist Jeff Schult got his new smile, and he was so impressed with his experience that he went on to investigate the medical tourist industry and top medical centers from Costa Rica to Brazil to Thailand. The result is "Beauty from Afar," a guide that offers consumers the pros and cons of traveling abroad for cosmetic or other elective surgeries. Readers will get the facts on the locations, the doctors, and the facilities, as well as the spa-like resorts where patients recover. The book also offers guidelines on how to do your own research, interview prospective surgeons, and get information about hospitals and amenities-what to expect every step of the way, even when you're back home. "Beauty from Afar" gives new meaning to the idea of going on vacation and coming back renewed.
About the AuthorJeff Schult has been writing about his personal experiences (among other things) for more than 20 years as a journalist in southern New England. He lives in Seymour, Connecticut.

Winbert F. "Bert" Mulholland was born Aug. 27, 1883 in Lexington, Ky. He began his association with Thoroughbreds as an exercise rider for his uncle, W.C. "Farmer Bill" Scully.
In 1923, Mulholland became a foreman for the George D. Widener, Jr. racing stable. He eventually became Jack Joyner's assistant trainer, and in 1933 was made head trainer, a position in which he had considerable success.
Mulholland won the 1962 Belmont Stakes with Champion 3-Year-Old Jaipur, who also won the Travers Stakes in record time that year in a legendary race with Ridan. Jaipur is one of Mulholland's record five Travers winners. He also won Saratoga's marquee race with Hall of Famer Eight Thirty (1939), Lights Out (1950), Battlefield (1951), and Crewman (1963).
Other notable races won by Mulholland horses include the Jamaica Handicap (3), Flash Stakes, Sanford Stakes, Massachusetts Handicap, Suburban Handicap 92), Diana Handicap (2), Metropolitan Handicap, Test Stakes (2), Jersey Derby (2), Peter Pan Stakes (2), Wood Memorial, Belmont Futurity (3), Hopeful Stakes (3), Saratoga Special, Dwyer Stakes, Withers Stakes (2), Schuylerville Stakes, Spinaway Stakes, Delaware Handicap (2), Gotham Stakes, and Saranac Stakes. Based on available records, Mulholland won more than 800 career races and had purse earnings of more than $6.5 million.
Bert Mulholland was inducted into the National Museum of Racing's Hall of Fame in 1967.

Ordered at 3pm Wednesday before xmas!
Got 11am on thursday!
Ordered Linkage Bearing kit for my bike.... Came as Swingarm Kit
Ordered a Kit in 34" pant and got a 36"?
Although they did change BOTH, I had to pay return postage and then also waste my time and hastle in sending it back..
Will not use again!
These guys offer a very good price on furniture!
Ordered on a Monday and the stuff was delivered to my door on Wednesday... VERY HAPPY....
The prices are great, BUT its near impossible to get through to them on the phone, i left approx 10 messages and not 1 call back! VERY POOR!
They are linked with these http://www.tridenttrailers.com/ and someone answers the phone here!
But what a pain in the bum!
Didnt turn up twice, then took me over a month and 20+ emails to get a refund!
1 VERY VERY unhappy customer!
Ebay is just an amazing concept!
Shame the sellers fees are SOOOO expensive and not being able to leave non paying / rubbish buyers negative feedback is really POOR
Super Fast service on Stocked items
Fantastic prices!
BUT when pre-ordering things you sometimes get them like 3-4 days after launch which is annoying when all your mates are playing the latest games!
I ordered a Fly Racing kit in size 32" waist and Large Top.
I got a 32" waist and a XL Top with a Letter saying they had run out of Large tops!
Now I have a top that is like a DRESS!! Why not phone or email me before sending? Do they expect people to put up with this :-S
Order some bearings and filters etc at 2.p.m. on a monday and they arrived Wednesday morning. Well happy with that service.
