We were playing a gig at the Manchester Free Trade Hall when I realised quite how different my lifestyle was from that of the other members of Yes.
Tales From Topographic Oceans, our grandiose 1973 album, was regarded by fans and critics alike as our most 'challenging' and I was really struggling with the tour.
Not because it was hard work - quite the opposite, in fact. As the keyboard player, there were quite a few passages where I had nothing to do or was just holding down one key.
Golden years: Rick Wakefield at the height of his fame in the Seventies
There was a mad percussion section where everybody banged things. It lasted about ten minutes, though it felt like a year and a half when playing it - and probably when listening to it. It was a bit dull.
In those days, I used to have my roadie actually lying underneath the Hammond organ throughout the set. If anything went wrong he could try to fix it. Also, he could continually hand me my alcoholic drinks.
We'd often have a little chat and on this particular evening in Manchester, I thought he said: 'What are you doing after the show?'
'I'm going to have a curry,' I replied. 'What would you order?' It seemed a strangely specific question but I didn't have much else to do so I told him. 'Chicken vindaloo, pilau rice, half a dozen poppadums, bhindi bhaji, Bombay aloo and a stuffed paratha.'
About 30 minutes later, I started to get this distinct waft of curry. I looked down and my roadie was lying there holding up an Indian takeaway. 'What's that?' I asked.
'You said you wanted a curry.' 'No. I said I wanted a curry after the show...' However, it smelled really good so he passed up the little foil trays and I laid this lovely spread out on top of the keyboard and ate it.
The rest of the band weren't best pleased - after all, there was a certain mystique surrounding Yes.
The singer, guitarist, bassist and drummer were all thoughtful people - interested in philosophy and alternative lifestyles and this was an image at odds with the fact that the keyboard player was a beer-swilling, darts-playing, meat-eating oaf, one who would happily eat a curry in the middle of a show.
I had joined Yes in 1971. I was a classically trained musician who had worked with numerous artists as a session musician. I played on David Bowie's Life On Mars, Cat Stevens's Morning Has Broken and even on some Des O'Connor records, though I kept that quiet.
Yes was already well established as 'progressive rock' band and had a reputation for lengthy numbers, complex music and cerebral lyrics.
It wasn't the sort of outfit that attracted groupies: our fans were more likely to throw synthesizer manuals on stage than knickers.
The other four members of the band - guitarist Steve Howe, singer Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire and drummer Alan White - were all technically gifted musicians and, without being immodest, we were a huge band with massive record sales. Our live shows were sellouts and very ambitious.
Indeed, sometimes I needed directions just to get to my keyboards.
'Take a left here, Rick, climb over that giant mushroom, past the spaceship and just behind, beyond that cloud, are your keyboards.'

There are people who think the film This Is Spinal Tap is simply a very funny 'mockumentary'. Well, with Yes we lived it.
Take the hilarious scene in the film in which the bass player is trapped in a giant pod - that actually happened to Alan one night.
It also occurred during the Tales From Topographic Oceans album tour. That was not my favourite Yes album and I said so at the time. Maturely, I renamed it Tales From Toby's Graphic Go-Kart.
The grandiose elements of Yes were spiralling out of all control and the stage set was unbelievable. It had been designed by Roger Dean, who had done the album cover, and reflected the record's artwork.
The drum kit was inside a giant seashell, which would open after the show started, revealing Alan doing his stuff. However, one night when the curtain went up the gearing jammed and he was trapped inside.
The problem was, it was a sealed unit, so Alan quickly began running out of air.
As this was live on stage in front of thousands of people, Alan, the consummate professional, continued playing. Meanwhile the roadies began trying to smash the pod open, staying out of the line of sight of the crowd so no one noticed.
Before long, they had to start pumping oxygen in until eventually, somehow, they prised the wretched thing open with pickaxes.
By now the audience must have noticed the rescue effort because as the pod sprang open a huge cheer went up, and Alan stumbled out gasping for breath.
Of course, back in the Seventies, audiences assumed that whatever happened on the stage was intentional.
In my previous band, the Strawbs, I'd had a Hammond organ on wheels. When we were playing the last number of the night I would push this thing across the stage and race after it while playing it.
One evening I pushed a bit too hard and the Hammond went hurtling towards the edge of the stage. I dived on top of it to try to slow it down but organ and organist crashed over the edge. The Hammond was smashed to smithereens and I was cut to ribbons.
I was mopping the blood from my face when a journalist came over. 'Great show, Rick,' he said, 'but how can you afford to wreck a Hammond every night?'
Keys to riches: Rick with the tools of his trade and his fleet of cars in 1984 - at one stage he owned 22 vehicles
There was another occasion, playing with Yes in Toronto, when one of my synthesizers, a Minimoog, broke down.
By chance, Dr Robert Moog, the brilliant electronic music pioneer and inventor of the Minimoog, was at the gig. During the interval, when the curtain was down, Bob said: 'I think I know what the problem is - do you want me to go out and take a look?'
'That would be great, if you don't mind,' I said. 'You know we're back on in about ten minutes, right?'
'That's fine,' he said. When we got the call to go back on stage, I navigated my way over to the keyboards and Bob was still there, surrounded by the innards of a Minimoog. He had dismantled it.
'Bob, Bob, we're about to start,' I hissed, but he was completely distracted. 'Yes, I think I know what the problem is,' he said prodding a circuit board.
The curtain went up and Yes had suddenly acquired a sixth member who was messing about with a complicated piece of electronic wizardry in the middle of the stage, completely oblivious to the audience of 20,000 punters, all of whom appeared to accept this as perfectly normal.
At the end of the show, at which time Bob was still happily tinkering with the synth, I introduced him to the audience who gave him a standing ovation. Bob looked up and said: 'Oh, are you ready to start now?'
When Yes started to perform 'in the round' - where a circular stage is planted in the middle of the venue with the audience all around the band - getting to our instruments was suddenly a major headache.
I think it was Jon who came up with a solution. 'We need a tunnel, then we can all get to the stage in one piece and quickly,' he said.
'We can't dig a tunnel under the floor of every venue, Jon,' I said.
'No, Rick, an overground tunnel. It will look fantastic.'
We had this immense tunnel built out of what appeared to be very strong rice paper. It looked like the world's biggest Chinese lantern. Using the finest engineering science known to man, we based it on the Slinky, those toys that flip down stairs.
The tunnel folded in on itself for shipping and opened up for the show. We ran lights through the inside and it looked absolutely brilliant. As the music started to play, the band members would march through the tunnel and our silhouettes would alert the audience to our presence, raising the tension even more.
The crew, meanwhile, hated it. The paper would rip, the wooden frames would split, it never folded properly, it took too long to work and it was almost impossible to cart around. They made their feelings known - and we completely ignored them.
The very next show they took their revenge. The music duly started and we all strode excitedly along inside the illuminated tunnel, only half noticing that the sound of the audience was getting further and further away.
Finally we came to a halt by a large green EXIT sign. Unbeknown to us, the crew had redirected the tunnel away from the stage.
Touring with Yes was generally great fun and I got on well with the rest of the guys but we were like chalk and cheese in many respects.
I was unique in the band as a card-carrying Conservative. They were all teetotal, while I could drink for England. And they were all vegetarians - I was an unashamed carnivore.
I have no objection to vegetarians (though I don't understand why, if you don't eat meat, you make tofu look like sausages or burgers) but some of the band were extreme with their vegetarianism.
For a couple of them, having a meal consisting entirely of vegetables was not enough - they had to know the farming methods used in their production, the name of the guy who planted them and, ideally, the species and health of the birds whose droppings had enriched the organic soil.
Well, that might be possible these days in a wholefood specialist shop, but in a Holiday Inn coffee shop in the American Deep South in the early Seventies? Some of the band were going without food for days and it was becoming impossible. So we decided to take a chef on the road.
I pointed out that I did not want to spend every night of the tour munching on a single lettuce leaf washed on the banks of the Nile by spiritually enlightened shamans. The band agreed that the chef could cook separate meat-crammed meals for me.
On the first Saturday, he said: 'Rick, do you fancy a nice roast tomorrow?' 'Bloody hell, do I fancy a roast? Absolutely,' I replied.
We played the Sunday show and, back at the hotel, all sat down to eat. The chef brought out the rest of the band's food first: some chives, a carrot or two and some celery sticks. They all tucked in, saying, rather unconvincingly, that the meal was delicious.
Then the chef returned with an enormous silver platter on which sat a magnificent golden-brown 22lb turkey, sausages wrapped in bacon, potatoes and parsnips.
The veggies around the table stopped eating, their forks suspended in mid-air. The chef put the roast in front of me and started serving it up - the aroma was incredible.
Then someone said: 'Er, could I try some roasted potatoes or parsnips, please?'
'Sorry, chaps, cooked in goose fat,' replied the chef.
I piled my plate high and got stuck in. With the exception of guitarist Steve, who was the most committed of the veggies, everyone watched my every mouthful. After they had finished their meals, a mass exodus ensued, clearly to avoid being around this delightful roast for too long.
A few minutes later, the door opened. It was Alan, our drummer. 'All right, Rick. I was thinking, I know I'm veggie and all that but to be honest I do eat the occasional piece of white meat. Any chance I could try some of the turkey?'
'Of course, help yourself,' I said. 'Thanks, but I'll take it back to my room, if that's OK.' He hastily put some of the turkey and trimmings on a plate and scurried off.
Five minutes later, Jon walked in. 'Rick. I was thinking, I do have the odd bit of chicken now and then, so I was wondering...'
He was followed by Chris. 'Be my guest,' I pre-empted.
I turned to the chef who was grinning widely. 'Probably best if you don't mention this, my friend...'
It was after the now infamous vindaloo incident at Manchester Free Trade Hall that I started to wonder about my future with the band. When the most enjoyable part of a live performance is the curry that you eat in the middle of it, you know that it's time to start thinking about moving on.
Due to circumstances and the musical direction in which we were heading, there was increasingly less and less I could put in and it was becoming very unrewarding.
After we'd finished the Tales From Topographic Oceans tour, we were due to start rehearsing new material on May 18, 1975 - I know the date because it was my birthday.
I'd gone down to my farmhouse in Devon to clear my head. It was a very weird day. First, I got a phone call from the Yes management asking why I wasn't at rehearsals.
'I told you, that's it, I'm off,' I said. 'I don't want to do this free-form jazz, I can't contribute anything to it, it's not me and I don't think it's Yes.'
They tried to talk me into rehearsing but my mind was made up. Five minutes later the phone rang and it was Terry O'Neil from A&M Records in London.
I had recorded Journey To The Centre Of The Earth as a solo project with the label. Terry sounded ecstatic.
'Rick, Journey has just gone to No1 in the album charts!' he cried.
It was time to move on for good.

The feds have new rules that require power plants to cut back on air pollution that crosses state lines.
The Environmental Protection Agency has finalized new rules that affect 27 states, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Environmentalists in New Jersey welcome the crack down.
The president of the state Sierra Club says the Portland Generating Station in Northampton County, Pennsylvania is the single-biggest cause of air pollution in northwestern New Jersey.
The new rules require power plants to dramatically cut emissions that cause smog, acid rain, and various health problems.

Columbia goes public in top-of-the-line style

Investors have been more than eager to help the Boyle family members do their estate planning and spare them tax troubles in the future.
Shares of Columbia Sportswear Co. began trading last Friday, following the Portland-based company's initial public offering. Demand drove the initial price of the 5.6 million share Nasdaq offering higher than the previously anticipated range of $15 to $17 a share. The shares, which had been priced at $18 each, have closed over $21 every day of trading to date.
Interest has been so keen in Columbia that underwriters of the IPO this week announced they will exercise their option to purchase 840,000 shares of common stock at the initial IPO price to cover over-allotments.
Tim Boyle, Columbia's chief executive officer, said he was pleased with Wall Street's enthusiasm and the way the IPO has progressed. Boyle spent the last few weeks globetrotting and making presentations to potential investors.
The No. 1 question shareholders asked was why the company, which is the largest outerwear manufacturer in the world, chose to go public.
Boyle said he was very honest with them and explained that estate planning was the main purpose. Boyle, his mother and company chairwoman, Gertrude, his sister, Sarah Bany and a handful of company executives retained 75 percent of the company. The public offering represented the remaining 25 percent.
Industry analysts have been sympathetic to the Boyle family's planning needs and approved of the short-term gains they will get by going public. In the long-term, they said it looks as if investors could bank on the company's strong earnings and industry reputation.

Viscous fluid pumping apparatus and system
Image Number 2 for
United States Patent #5137368
A viscous fluid pumping system having a pair of opposing gears (130, 132) is provided in a housing (32) disposed above an inlet port (73) in a follower plate (70). The follower plate (70) is dimensioned to sealingly fit in a container or drum (D) filled with highly-viscous fluid. In operation, the gears generate a vacuum between the follower plate (70) and the viscous fluid, allowing atmospheric pressure to press the follower plate into the viscous fluid. This, in turn, forces the fluid through the inlet port (73) and into the gears (130, 132). The gears exert high shear forces and localized heating to the fluid, decreasing its viscosity. The fluid exits the system through an outlet in the gear housing. The pumping system may use two such pumps working in conjunction or incorporate a single such pump with a valve structure for recycling fluid through itself.

Lorde has been tapped not only to contribute to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 soundtrack, but to serve as its musical overseer.
UPDATED REVIEW: How long a sitcom squirms around on TV screens doesn't necessarily change how many of its sleazy jokes bomb.

How Do We Break the Pattern of Poor Teaching for Poor Children?by Alfie Kohn
As education dollars shrink, states are grappling with whether to eliminate preschool. Do we fund early childhood education now, or pay more later?
As school bells rang for the first time this fall, thousands of preschoolers were left on the sidelines because state funding cuts forced their classrooms to close. And the sad fact is that most of these young children left behind by budget cuts will never catch up to their classmates.
Why do early learning programs matter? Advances in brain research show that children are born learning, and that their first years of life impact the success they experience later in school. Early experiences that are nurturing and active actually thicken the cortex of an infant's brain, creating a brain with more extensive and sophisticated neuron structures that later determine intelligence and behavior. It also means that children who are exposed to more language and more caring interaction with adults have an advantage over their peers that grow up in stressful environments or have unresponsive caregivers.
The first five years are also when children build the social and emotional skills they need to succeed in school. On the first day of kindergarten, teachers expect children to be able to follow directions, start and finish projects, and know when they need to ask for help. Such "soft" skills are just as important as cognitive or "hard" skills—like being able to count, recite the alphabet, and write their names.
If a child can't follow directions, he or she will have difficulty attending to the task of learning. Young children build these social-emotional skills through responsive relationships with parents and teachers. When children trust their caregivers to respond consistently to their needs, they learn to regulate their emotions and behavior. Strong social-emotional skills are the foundation of lifelong learning, which in future years help students succeed in school and adults hold steady jobs.
While most middle- and upper-income children have nurturing early experiences, children in poverty often live in chaotic environments. Low-income parents may struggle to find a job or pay the bills and consequently don't have the means or time to create a stimulating learning environment for their young children. This inequality in opportunity leads to the achievement gap that is evident as early as nine months of age (PDF) and continues to inhibit students' progress throughout elementary school and beyond.
There is no proven strategy to close the achievement gap during the K-12 school years. But high-quality early childhood education programs prevent the achievement gap from forming. Decades of research on programs such as the High/Scope Perry Preschool and Chicago Parent-Child Centers show that high-quality early childhood programs for vulnerable children increase childhood literacy and high school graduation rates, not to mention reducing crime and teenage pregnancy. Disadvantaged children who don't participate in high-quality early education programs are 50 percent more likely to be placed in special education and 25 percent more likely to drop out of school. They are 60 percent more likely to never attend college, 70 percent more likely to be arrested for a violent crime, and 40 percent more likely to become a teen parent.
Leading economists say that early childhood education is a sound public investment, even during a recession. Every dollar spent on early learning programs for at-risk children yields $7 to $9 in future savings on expenditures like special education and the criminal justice system. Early learning programs can also improve America's competitiveness in a global economy. "The potential return from a focused, high-quality early childhood development program is as high as 16 percent per year," writes Arthur J. Rolnick, formerly of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. That kind of return is rarely seen in the private sector. The gains come from a more educated workforce that earns higher wages and contributes productively to the economy.
States around the country are grappling with the decision of whether or not to fund preschool as education dollars shrink. Arizona has proposed eliminating its preschool program entirely. California's lack of a state budget has forced schools to drop some preschool students. In Illinois, where the state can't afford to pay last year's bills for preschool programs, school districts are canceling programs or struggling to pay for them with local dollars. States may justify preschool cuts by saying tough choices need to be made in tough economic times, but what they are really doing is creating a lost generation of children who will cost governments far more in expensive remedial education programs and other social interventions in the years to come.
While federal dollars for early education programs, such as Head Start, Early Head Start and home visiting programs, have increased slightly during President Obama's administration, they still reach only a small percentage of eligible children.
The question elected officials and the public must confront is simple: Do we fund early childhood education now, or pay a lot more later for the costly social problems that result when children are not successful in school?
Diana Mendley Rauner is executive director of the Ounce of Prevention Fund, which works to ensure that all American children have quality early childhood experiences during the first five years of life.

'How I Met Your Mother' Series Finale Recap: The Mother's Name, Robin & Barney's Marriage Revealed
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Anne Lu | April 1, 2014 12:46 PM EST
"How I Met Your Mother" has aired its much anticipated finale on Monday in the U.S. And the ending seems to have a polarising effect on the viewers. No one seemed to be undecided; they either love it so much or hate it a lot.
Spoiler ahead: Don't read further if you haven't watched the episode yet.
First up, yes, the "Mother" is dead.
As the fans have feared since the beginning of the show, Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) has been telling his story to his kids because the mother is dead in the year 2030. The Mother died of illness offscreen.
The Mother's name is Tracy.
After being nameless for the whole of season nine, The Mother (Cristin Milioti) has finally been named in the last episode of the show titled "Last Forever," and it's Tracy. She and Ted didn't get married until they had their children Penny and Luke (Lyndsy Fonseca and David Henrie).
Barney and Robin
Unfortunately, Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) divorced three years later. They have just gotten married in the last episode, but Robin's work schedule became too much for both of them to handle.
Barney eventually impregnated a woman in 2019, and the birth of his daughter prompted him to change his bachelor lifestyle.
Marshall and Lily
If there's one constant thing that viewers can depend on the show, it's Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily's (Alyson Hannigan) marriage. It's no surprise that they remained tied to each other (older Ted's stories always include them still being married to and happy with each other). Marshall became a judge in Queens, and Lily gave birth to their third child.
Ted and Robin
So it's back to square one for Ted and Robin in the future. When Ted was narrating his love life (lives?) to his children in 2030, Tracy has been dead for six years. And apparently, he was being open with his kids because he wanted their permission to date "Aunt Robin," which they gave him.
In the end, Ted arrived at Robin's apartment with the blue French horn.
If the fans are asked, the finale either disappointed or satisfied them. Although they already had a nagging feeling that the Mother would die in the ending, some viewers still felt betrayed. According to them, it's not so much that the Mother died, although it's preferable that she didn't, but that Ted ended up with Robin after all.
There were others who didn't mind, though. In fact, they thought that it's one of the best endings of a sitcom ever.
Here are the fans' reactions on Twitter:
That was the worst. So disappointing. They went there. They seriously just went there. #HIMYMFarewell #HIMYMFinale

Carey Mulligan Top Choice To Play Hillary Clinton In 'Rodham,' May Beat Scarlett Johansson and Others
By Staff Writer | June 07, 2013 07:36 PM EDT
Carey Mulligan is rumored to be the top choice to play Hillary Clinton in the biopic "Rodham." Other actresses on the list include Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Chastain, Reese Witherspoon, Amanda Seyfried, and Emma Stone.
Like Us on Facebook
If Mulligan beats No.2 on the list, Scarlett Johansson, and is cast as a young Hillary Clinton, she will star in the biopic about the former U.S. Secretary of State, Hollywood Reporter says. Clinton is the 65-year-old wife of former U.S. president Bill Clinton. She has also served as Senator of New York State and ran for president in 2008.
According to The Guardian, Mulligan will meet director James Ponsoldt. Mulligan, who most recently starred in Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby," is the producers' top choice. However, no source has confirmed that Mulligan will take the role, and other actors are still being considered.
The Guardian also reports that "Rodham" is already surrounded in controversy. The film will be released in time to coincide with the 2016 primaries, in which Hillary Clinton is a favorite amongst the Democratic Party to run for president once again.
Interestingly, "Zero Dark Thirty" was similarly criticized, as it was released just before the presidential election in which Obama was running for re-election. Under Obama's first term, Osama bin Laden was captured. The film dramatizes the operation that found and killed bin Laden, thus leading some to believe that the timing of its release was intentional to garner support for Obama. Jessica Chastain, an actress on the list of possible women to be cast as Hillary Clinton in "Rodham," starred in "Zero Dark Thirty."

Maan Karate (Facebook)
"Maan Karate"
Sivakarthikeyan-Hansika starrer "Maan Karate" has been doing good business not just in India, but also in overseas markets.
The film has fared well in key overseas markets including the USA, the UK, Australia and Malaysia. In its opening weekend, "Maan Karate" minted pretty good collections in these foreign markets.
"#MaanKarate [Tamil; opng wknd] USA ₹39.87 lacs, UK ₹34.19 lacs, Australia ₹16.25 lacs, Malaysia [reported screens] ₹61.42 lacs," film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted.

In Australia, "Maan Karate" has minted ₹21.46 lakh (A$ 37,770) in 10 days at the box office.
The film is also doing well in India, despite the release of Vishal's "Naan Sigappu Manithan." The Siva starrer is expected to end the second week on a good note and it will be interesting to see how the film fares in its third week with the release of Vadivelu's comeback film "Tenaliraman."
"Naan Sigappu Manithan"
Vishal-Lakshmi Menon's "Naan Sigappu Manithan," which opened on a good note, is holding on well in Tamil Nadu owing to positive feedback. The revenge thriller is expected to continue its good run at the TN box office.
The film has raked in ₹8.65 lakh ($14,376) in the United States at the end of the first weekend, according to Taran Adarsh. [Note: Some screens are yet to report]

IT WAS APPROPRIATE that Cape Verdi's name should re-emerge among the race results section this past weekend as news of the Swettenham Stud worldwide dispersal was announced, writes Emma Berry.
Ten years ago Cape Verdi (pictured) carried Robert Sangster's colours to edge out Sheikh Mohammed's Embassy in the Lowther Stakes when trained by Peter Chapple-Hyam.
She could manage only fourth to Embassy a month later in the Cheveley Park Stakes but burst back onto the scene with a five-length romp in the 1000 Guineas having been bought by Godolphin in the close season. Her ninth place at Epsom – in the colts' Classic rather than the fillies' – marked a bold bit of race planning and the last time a filly ran in the Derby.
On Saturday and Sunday her third and fourth foals, both by Giant's Causeway , graced the winner's enclosure within 24 hours of each other. Four-year-old Benandonner closed out the Shergar Cup competition in style, securing victory for the Rest Of The World team and individual honours for visiting Australian jockey Hugh Bowman, with a win in the Mile. His year younger sister Salsa Verdi, sporting the Godolphin blue like her mother, made her third racecourse appearance a winning one, having been placed twice this season. She took a nine-furlong Wolverhampton maiden from Oaks runner Sues Surprise.
When reviewing the history of Sangster's great breeding and racing operation Cape Verdi is likely to figure prominently, as is Peter Chapple-Hyam, whose training career is currently enjoying an emphatic resurgence, thanks to the exploits of Authorized, Tariq, Dutch Art, Winker Watson and co.
She is not the only Swettenham graduate to have provided Classic glory for the Maktoum family. Four years earlier, the great Balanchine , was another high-profile Godolphin purchase from Sangster after her two-year-old campaign. She went on to win the Oaks and the Irish Derby after being beaten a head in the Guineas. City Honours, who changed hands the same year as Cape Verdi, came agonisingly close, too, when failing in a photo against High-Rise.
Balanchine and Cape Verdi both retired to Gainsborough Stud's broodmare band, and that organisation claims the honours for the breeding of Benandonner and Salsa Verdi. Since the death of Sheikh Maktoum, the mares now fall under the Darley banner.
Cape Verdi's first foal was Arctic Silk, by Selkirk, who was placed for Godolphin. In her second year at stud, she was one of a select band of mares to visit Dubai Millennium. The resultant filly, named Dubai Opera, was unraced but has been retained by Darley for breeding. After producing her Giant's Causeway duo, Cape Verdi remained in America, visiting Gone West then Elusive Quality before being rested a year and returning to the UK to be covered by Pivotal this season.
Balanchine, too, has been a useful mare for Gainsborough. Her best produce Gulf News, by Woodman, was a dual winner and finished second to Sulamani in the Prix Niel, while Ibtecar, a son of Seeking The Gold, was another consistent performer, predominantly in the UAE.
The pair will be hard pushed to emulate Swettenham Stud's Magnificient Style , who will undoubtedly cause an awe-inspired hush to fall over whichever sales ring she appears in if she comes up for public auction. In 2004, three of her offspring – Echoes In Eternity, Percussionist and Playful Act (the last two being full siblings by Sadler's Wells) – all recorded Group wins in the same season.
A postscript on the subject should be awarded to the somewhat less illustrious but nevertheless remarkable posthumous achievement of the Mummy's Game mare Fire Sprite, dam of Ayr Gold Cup winner Always Alight. She was responsible for the Rock City siblings Ignition and English Archer, both of whom won on the same card at Hamilton on 19 July, much to the delight of their owner/breeder Michael Hyman, who also owns the stallion.
A similar double at Stakes level came close to being posted at Calder on Sunday when three-year-old colt Yesbyjimminy landed the Listed Eillo Stakes, while his seven-year-old half-brother Magic Mecke took third in the Vid Stakes. A third brother, A J Melini, was a Listed winner at Calder back in May so there remains the engaging, if unlikely, possibility of a same-card treble.

FDA grants orphan status for Halo's DMD drug candidate
Send this to a friend
- Michelle Lang
Halo Therapeutics LLC, a Newton biotech founded through a unique do-it-yourself drug development process, has won orphan drug designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for HT-100, its treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
The orphan drug status gives Halo seven years of marketing exclusivity following approval of HT-100, as well as clinical trial funding support, tax credits linked to development costs and FDA user fee waivers. The designation is designed to promote rare disease therapeutics development.
HT-100, also known as halofuginone, addresses DMD by promoting healthy muscle fiber regeneration, the company said in a news release, to counter the disease's muscle weakening progression. The neuromuscular disorder affects about one in 3,500 boys worldwide and generally is fatal by the time boys reach their twenties or thirties. Halofuginone is set to begin Phase 2 clinical trials in patients with DMD this year, Halo CEO Marc Blaustein said in a statement.
Halo Therapeutics is a unique business in that it was founded and funded by DMD patient advocacy groups Charley's Fund and the Nash Avery Foundation, as well as industry veterans. The company is a spinout of virtual firm Dart Therapeutics LLC, which incorporated in Massachusetts in 2010, with former Genzyme SVP Eugene Williams as chairman.

JACKSON HOLE, WYO – Once upon a time a bunch of people in odd-looking clothes boarded an odd-looking ship and sailed to a foreign shore where they hoped to acquire some beachfront property and go into business. Unfortunately, someone already owned this property, and they took a dim view of this.
There followed all sorts of real estate double-dealing and just plain rotten behavior on both sides until they declared a truce and planned a big dinner, as if that would make a difference. This dinner turned into another fight over whom to invite, where to sit, whom should carve the roast beast and whose mother made the best green bean casserole. They named the dinner Thanksgiving because they were thankful that they wouldn't have to do it again. Once was OK, but more than that was too much.
Apparently someone didn't get the message, because nothing has changed. People are still fighting over the same things, still whining and complaining, still arguing about where they are supposed to sit, and refusing to eat the dark meat. The only difference now is that instead of running off to fight Indians, we are running off to the mall to fight other shoppers. We should be thankful this only happens once a year.
It could be worse, and it is. My friend LaWanda from back home writes that she is in charge of the annual Lutefisk Dinner. Lutefisk is dried cod even the Norwegians won't eat so they ship it over here. It looks like a chunk of floor tile and after three days of soaking in lye, water and bleach, it gets all white and squishy. It is then boiled until it looks, smells and tastes like fish-flavored Jell-O before being served with boiled potatoes. You can tell it's done when people in Hazmat suits are nailing your door shut. LaWanda can't understand why the Norwegians subject themselves to such awfulness. She figures it's God's punishment for living in Minnesota and being Vikings fans when one could easily move to Wisconsin and be a Packers fan.
While fighting to wrestle the turkey into the oven I was reminded of our old neighbors who had a boiled head dinner for Christmas. Some unfortunate sheep's or pig's head is gussied up and boiled, then served surrounded by various random animal parts. Everyone fights over the eyeballs, because they are the best part, apparently.
Overall, there are best things and worst things, and sometimes they happen to be the same things, but they are ultimately only things. And if it takes a boiled eyeball to make your holiday, so be it. I'll leave you with a little poem for the holidays.
May your days be merry and bright,
With nary an eyeball in sight,
And if there is one, then deal with it,
It could be fun.

The King's Speech (12A): The IoS review
Firth's stammering monarch is a sh-sh-shoo-in for an Oscar nomination
Sunday 09 January 2011
Yes, it's that time of year again, the midwinter window when film companies release their best hopes for Oscar recognition – and there's no way The King's Speech could have come out at any other time.
A sumptuous historical drama that could be seen as a prequel to The Queen or as a sequel to Mrs Brown, it's set in the years just before and just after the death of George V (Michael Gambon). His elder son David (Guy Pearce) is more interested in a certain American divorcee than he is in "kinging", so David's brother Bertie (Colin Firth) may have to accept what he views as the most poisonous of poisoned chalices. Having lived with a severe stammer since childhood, he thinks of microphones as instruments of torture, but for a monarch in the radio age, there's no avoiding them. As a last resort, his devoted wife (Helena Bonham Carter) takes him to a Harley Street specialist (Geoffrey Rush), even though he's – shudder – an Australian who insists on discussing his clients' – shudder – feelings.
In short, The King's Speech couldn't be a better bet at awards season if the producers handed each voter a brown envelope stuffed with unmarked notes. With more stately homes than the National Trust, and as many respected thesps as the Harry Potter franchise, it's a reassuring tale of love conquering all, of friendship and determination overcoming any disability, and of the privileged being born to rule, just as long as a commoner reminds them to soften their stiff upper lips occasionally.
Still, none of this carping changes the fact that The King's Speech is a delightful film. For a while, David Seidler intended his script to be staged as a play, and while Tom Hooper (The Damned United) keeps the pageantry colourfully cinematic, it has the rich characterisation and the long scenes of odd-couple verbal sparring that you'd expect from a first-rate theatrical two-hander. Bonham Carter is a joy as the tender yet sardonic Elizabeth, and the Oscar-bound Firth is both heart-rending and remarkably funny in his best ever role. It's all done so expertly that you can forgive the film's ultimate message: Britain won the war because a toff gave a halfway competent radio broadcast.
