1 pint heavy whipping cream
With a whisk or hand-held mixer, whip the cream in a bowl until very thick but still liquid. Add the amaretto and whip until soft peaks form.
Put 2 scoops of gelato into a serving dish. Sprinkle a tablespoon of the almonds over the gelato and top with a dollop of the flavored whipped cream. Rub 1/2 an amaretti cookie along a fine grater over the whipped cream to garnish. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve immediately.

Fact is, the potential for commercial real estate profits usually surpass that of residential properties. Sometimes it can be difficult to find the best opportunities available. This article provides a lot of useful information that will make you more knowledgeable of the factors involved in commercial real estate. Learning this information, and following the advice provided, will enable you to make smart and profitable commercial real estate decisions.
Take plenty of pictures of the building. Make sure your pictures clearly show any damage or defects, including carpet stains, holes in the walls or discoloration of plumbing and counter tops.
If you are renting or leasing, be sure to know about pest control arrangements. If the area that you are renting in is known for pest infestations, it is especially important for you to talk to your rental agency about their policies for pest control.
Commercial property is an investment. This investment is not just money, but also time. Finding a good opportunity, going through the transaction and making any necessary repairs to the property takes time. Don't give up just because this is a lengthy process that gobbles up large portions of your time. The investment will be repaid as time goes on.
Ensure that the amount of money you want for your commercial property makes sense, given local market conditions. There are a number of variables that can affect the realistic value of your property.
You deal should naturally include inspections, and you should also evaluate the credentials of the inspectors. This guideline is especially important when working with people who deal in pest management; these specific fields are often populated by practitioners who lack proper credentials. This can prevent larger problems from occurring after the sale.
If you are involved in renting commercial properties, try your best to keep them filled. If you have open spaces, then you are the person who will be paying for their upkeep and maintenance. If you have more than one property without someone in it, think about why that is, and fix any problems that might be occurring.
If you want to sell a property, advertise it locally and on a wider level too. Many people only think locals will buy their property, and that's a mistake. A lot of investors buy property that is not where they want it if it is a good enough price.
Determine your business goals before you start your hunt for commercial property. List the qualities that concern you most in a property (e.g. restroom facilities, conference facilities, number of units available, square footage, etc.)
The commercial space you want to rent may need some changes before you can move in. For example, you might neat to repaint or purchase new furniture. However, you might have to remove or relocate some of your walls so that you can get the most out of your space. If you're leasing or renting, you can ask the landlord to make these changes at no cost to yourself.
After reading the article above, you should know the basics of making a good investment. Maintain flexibility and think fast so you can steer your way through the constantly changing market of commercial real estate. These attributes will allow you to spot good real estate deals and capitalize on them.

Put a ring on it? Not so fast. New evidence makes the case that uncertainty, or cold feet, before a wedding could be a powerful predictor for whether a marriage lasts or not. UCLA researchers found that brides who have doubts about their impending nuptials are 2.5 times more likely to get a divorce just a few years later. Here, a concise guide to the findings:
What exactly did this study set out to test?
Justin Lavner, a UCLA doctoral student in psychology, wanted to find out if "cold feet" could serve as a predictor for whether a couple stayed together or not. "People think everybody has premarital doubts and you don't have to worry about them," says Lavner. "We found that [these doubts] are common but non benign." Lavner and his team observed 232 heterosexual couples during the first few months of marriage, and checked in every six months for four years. In the very beginning, they were all asked a simple yes-or-no question: "Were you ever uncertain or hesitant about getting married?"
What did they find?
Plenty of couples expressed having cold feet: In fact, 38 percent of wives-to-be said they were uncertain, compared with 47 percent of future husbands. Among women having doubts, 19 percent were divorced just four years after marriage compared to just 8 percent of women who didn't report any doubts — a whole 2.5 times higher. For men, 14 percent of the doubtful ended up divorcing compared to 9 percent who didn't have any hesitations. For couples in which both reported premarital doubt, 20 percent ended up filing for divorce.
So what do I do if I am having doubts before my wedding?
"Doubts don't mean doom," says John M. Grohol at PsychCentral. Among the things you can do before saying "yes": Talk to your partner to express your insecurities before the wedding; talk to others for an objective point of view; don't ignore any real problems, which go deeper than the stress of planning; and don't allow yourself to feel pressured by the magnitude of the event itself. "Anxiety and doubt are not the same thing," says Grohol. "If you have real doubts about getting married, listen to those doubts and take action."

Raspberry Pi's Nonchalant Graphics Stack For Linux
Published on 01 February 2012 07:38 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
22 Comments
Many were talking yesterday about why the forthcoming $25/$35 Raspberry Pi system won't ship in kit form, but of more interest to Phoronix readers out of
that blog post
would be the details concerning their Linux graphics driver stack and what they will be supporting.
The Raspberry Pi, which is based on a Broadcom BCM2835 SoC, has a VideoCore IV GPU paired with its ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor. Here are a few details about the expected graphics software stack configuration:
- OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenVG, EGL, and OpenMAX IL will be the core APIs supported by their GPU libraries on the Raspberry Pi. (Sadly it doesn't look like their library setup is based upon Gallium3D.)
- The Raspberry Pi Foundation has licensed MPEG-4 and H.264 codecs for the device, which the VideoCore IV GPU can accelerate. They also hope to be able to support VP8, MJPG, and Theora since those codecs are royalty-free. The GPU itself is able to handle hardware decoding for H.264, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, VC-1, AVS, and MJPG. There is vector-accelerated-but-otherwise-software-decode for VP6, VP7, VP8, RV, Theora, and WMV9. The VideoCore IV is said to be able to support 1080p encode and decode. It would be interesting if the video acceleration on the Raspberry Pi was exposed through VA-API or VDPAU, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
- The graphics stack is made-up of closed-source libraries. This is common for ARM SoCs unfortunately, but
the Lima project
may change things
- The only open-source part of the graphics stack is the kernel driver itself, which again isn't too different from the other ARM SoC vendors. Unfortunately this open-source kernel driver is not part of the mainline Linux kernel (at least as of the current Linux 3.3 cycle). If the interfaces exposed by the kernel driver are only used by a closed-space "client", it unfortunately doesn't stand much of a chance of making it into the kernel as the kernel developers can't properly test the interface and its functionality is limited to using a binary blob. Read about
embedded GPUs on Linux being a great big mess
So basically the Raspberry Pi graphics situation isn't anything special compared to the other SoC vendors. The Broadcom BCM2835 with VideoCore IV graphics should offer decent OpenGL ES 2.0 performance. It's also very capable of serving 1080p content with hardware acceleration. Back at
SCALE 10x
I saw the Raspberry Pi running the XBMC media player and it was quite a surprisingly pleasant experience. The only downsides are that the user-space libraries are closed-up and that the open-source kernel driver is not part of the mainline Linux kernel.

DRV leases to FEMA in western Henrico
Diversified Realty Ventures (DRV) of Richmond has signed a short-term 17,500 square foot lease with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) at Deep Run III, a 383,000 SF Class A office building in western Henrico.
Located at 9954 Mayland Dr., the six-story Deep Run III building was part of Circuit City's headquarters complex until the firm declared bankruptcy in 2008. DRV acquired the building in late 2011 in a joint venture with Markel/Eagle Partners, LLC. Since the acquisition, the ownership has been planning major renovations, now scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2012, and targeting nationally known corporations for future anchor tenancy.
FEMA's presence in Henrico will provide a base of operations to serve the central Virginia area. DRV executed the lease in less than a week, represented by Mark Douglas and Austin Newman of Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer.

CCC seeks donations for food pantry
Citizen Staff Reports 11/12/2014
Commonwealth Catholic Charities is in desperate need of food donations for its community food pantry that serves the region's low-income families, according to officials with the Henrico-based nonprofit.
After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

Tempted to Train - Timeout in Turkey

Main page
however now gathered in the southeastern most part of Europe to get the season under way tomorrow south of Kemer on the Mediterranean coast. I am strongly focusing on quantity in my training and during the last few weeks in Andalucía Ive done orienteering more frequently than ever before. It will pay off at some point, but is the time? I tend to become more critical towards my orienteering = accepting less mistakes the more I orienteer so it should be good leading up to these races. The weekend starts off with the middle distance qualification tomorrow and hopefully final…

Government Operations:
An Assessment of Capacity Utilization Statistics, Strengths and Weaknesses
CED-77-3: Published: Oct 28, 1976. Publicly Released: Oct 28, 1976.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO investigated the adequacy of statistics on industrial capacity utilization provided by the Department of Commerce and the Federal Reserve Board. A determination of each preparer's capacity was made by reviewing sources of data, assumptions used, and methodologies employed.
Differences in utilization rates reported by seven organizations for 1970 through 1975 ranged from 10.2 to 22 percentage points. The variations in the rates are caused by differences in data collection, calculation methods, and definitions of capacity. All of the capacity utilization statistics have weaknesses. Statistics series are prepared by three Federal organizations, the Bureau of the Census, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Federal Reserve Board. The need for these three series was questioned.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed
Comments: Please call 202/512-6100 for additional information.
Recommendation: A family of capacity definitions for use in calculating statistics should be developed. Federal organizations should be assigned the responsibility for developing a single reliable set of rates for use by Government and non-Government users.

Longview, TX (Longview News-Journal) — The air traffic control tower at East Texas Regional Airport is in the clear for now, but Tyler Pounds Airport officials received a letter Wednesday giving operators until March 13 to tell FAA officials why closing the airport's tower would have a negative national impact.
Tyler Pounds was one of 168 small-to medium-sized airports to receive a similar letter this week.
FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford said the federal agency could not consider local community impact in whether to keep a facility open — only the national interest.
"The airport received notification from FAA of the possibility to close the air traffic control tower at Tyler Pounds Regional Airport," Tyler Pounds Manager Davis Dickson said Wednesday. "However, there are a number of circumstances that surround this decision before it can be finalized. The airport will be reviewing these matters and working with FAA before any decision for closure may commence."
Manager Roy Miller said East Texas Regional Airport did not receive such a letter.
East Texas Regional Airport terminal radar has approach control for Tyler Pounds, and it is an FAA-operated facility.
Air traffic control at Tyler Pounds is a contracted service to Robinson Aviation RVA. Most of the air traffic control towers targeted for closure were contracted services.
Wes Cozart, CEO of Robinson Aviation, said his company, which is based in Oklahoma City, operates 96 air traffic control towers.

Blue Jays top prospect Travis d'Arnaud will miss six to eight weeks after tearing the posterior cruciate ligament in his knee while playing for Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.
d'Arnaud, MLB.com's No. 20 overall prospect, suffered the injury sliding into second base.
The 23-year-old catcher was examined in Las Vegas by Dr. Bernard Ong, who sent the MRI results to Dr. Steve Mirabello in Florida. He confirmed the original diagnosis, Blue Jays manager John Farrell told MLB.com.
"These cases are typically six to eight weeks, and at this point everybody -- everybody being Dr. Mirabello and Dr. Ong, who examined him in Las Vegas -- [said] it is a non-surgical rehab," Farrell said.
The California native singled in his first at-bat against Sacramento River Cats starter Graham Godfrey and was forced at second when Travis Snider bounced into a fielder's choice. d'Arnaud was replaced by Paul Phillips the following inning.
The injury means the 51s catcher almost certainly will miss both the Triple-A All-Star Game and the All-Star Futures Game next month. The 23-year-old led Pacific Coast League catchers in fan balloting for the Triple-A All-Star Game and already had been selected to the U.S. squad for the Futures Game in Kansas City.
d'Arnaud is hitting .333 with a .380 on-base percentage, 16 homers and 52 RBIs in 279 at-bats with Las Vegas. Selected by the Phillies with the 37th overall pick in the 2007 Draft, he was traded to Toronto in the 2009 trade for Roy Halladay.
d'Arnaud was coming off a breakout season in which he was named Eastern League MVP after batting .311 with 21 homers and 78 RBIs for Double-A New Hampshire.

Apple released an update to iTunes, bringing the software to version 11.2.2. The maintenance release fixes a podcast downloading issue.
Remember updating to iOS 7.1.1 and that super important Mac OS Security Update because of an SSL vulnerability? It still exists in iTunes for Windows.
Apple could get dinged up over this, and rightly so. There was already criticism of the delay between the Mac and iOS fixes, so to still have a Windows security flaw almost two months later is a bad scene.
Everyone has a story to tell. Adobe's new app, Voice, makes it so easy to tell it that Vern Seward is featuring it in this week's Free on iTunes.
Apple released iTunes 11.2 on Thursday, an update that focuses on the software's podcast interface. Apple added two new tabs, Unplayed and Feeds, to give users more options for browsing their podcasts, and added a way to directly save favorite podcasts to your Mac. Users can also automatically delete podcasts that have been listened to.
Apple may be planning on adding support for high definition audio playback support in iOS 8, and will release new in-ear headphones and updated Lightning cable designed to take advantage of the better audio quality. If true, that means iPhone owners would be able to listen to 24-bit 48 kHz audio files, which can offer better fidelity than the 16-bit files iOS 7 and earlier support.
Better audio quality playback in the iPhone and iPad would be a welcome treat, but if our listening options are Apple's own earbuds or Beats headphones, why bother?
Need a laugh? Vern Seward points out 3 iOS apps that'll have you knee slapping in no time in this week's Free on iTunes. Comedy Central, Comedy Central Standup, and WitStream.
This week in Free on iTunes Vern Seward points out several iOS apps that are towards the odd side. Sick Weather crowdsources illness reports, Now This News finds stuff that's a bit different, and the Digg app...well, it's Digg.
Apple's iTunes Match has finally made its way to Japan, adding yet another country to an already long list. Just like in the United States, iTunes Match lets users store their iTunes library online and upgrade lower audio quality recordings to higher quality versions.
It seems crazy that iTunes Match wasn't available in Japan before now. It's also crazy that iTunes Radio is still available only in the United States and Australia.
Have you got a nose for tech news? In this week's Free on iTunes, Vern Seward has three news aggregators dedicated to gathering tech news for you, including: Ez Tech News, Tech News Tube, and Tech Wire.

Stacy Kranitz: "CNN chose the most extreme photographs"
Yesterday Saving Country Music took exception to a photo blog posted by CNN depicting "the everyday lives of Appalachian people" with photos of KKK members, burning crosses, snake preachers, and other subversive subjects taken by photographer Stacy Kranitz. After learning that Kranitz was distancing from CNN's take on her photos, we reached out to her and she provided us with the statement below.
Apparently CNN chose some of the most extreme 16 photos of a 77 of photo essay that is part of a multi-year project still in the development stage, that was never meant to depict Appalachia's "everyday people", and instead ironically was meant to "demystify" stereotypes.
Please take time to check out the complete Old Regular Mountain Project.
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – -
CNN chose the most extreme photographs and I did not know that they would do this until I woke up yesterday morning to see it published like everyone else.
I think people are rightfully angry. I am disgusted to see the words "the everyday lives of appalachian people" next to images of the KKK. That is a real insult to the region as is the reductive edit of my work and I understand why people are so offended by it.
I do not see what I have photographed as a look at "the everyday lives of appalachian people" as CNN has claimed, Nor is that written anywhere in the CNN interview questions I answered or on my website.
I hope you take time to look at the 77 images and see that CNN chose only the most salacious ones to drive traffic to the website.
For this project I sought out the stereotypes and photographed them so that I could then offer a counter to them. That is what the project is about. It is meant to be a dialogue about stereotypes: the mythology they create, their value and their role in society and how they factor into the representation of place. It seemed the furthest from possible that CNN knowing my interest in both seeking out and demystifying stereotypes would make an edit of only the stereotypes. What they did is the opposite of what I am trying to do.
I made clear to CNN that the work was in the very early stages of a multi-year project and when pressed by CNN to come to an authoritative conclusion about the people of Appalachia I wrote.
"Unfortunately I am not yet at a place with this work where I have a handle on everything I am trying to say. I am just a traveler exploring new territory with the desire to be able to share my own experiences in an unfamiliar terrain …. I'm not entirely convinced that I will ever truly understand what I seek out but the work is about the process, the attempt to understand."
I take full responsibility for being so naive as to trust that CNN was interested in my work and the process I go through to make photographs that question an outsiders ability to represent place.
I am truly sorry.

DirectFB 1.6 Is Coming Soon While 2.0 Is Far-Out
Published on 12 March 2012 05:51 PM EDT

Back in January
the release of DirectFB 1.6 was imminent
, but then the developers behind this frame-buffer project ended up dragging the release on for stabilization reasons. This month is now the project's revised target for doing the first DirectFB 1.6 stable release.
DirectFB 1.6 was slated for a January release, but seeing as this is a big release, it's not too surprising it was delayed. DirectFB 1.6 introduces a new core architecture for eliminating multiple IPC/RPC mechanisms, eliminate shared memory, minimal global locks, and other enhancements to its core. DirectFB 1.6 also supports dynamic registration of window managers / compositors, new image providers (SVG / JPEG2000 / BMP), a Xine video provider, Xine/VDPAU acceleration support, new/re-written video drivers, performance enhancements, and much more.
In January,
initial DirectFB Android support
was merged as well.
the DirectFB web-site
, "The stabilization phase is still ongoing so that we expect the first release of DirectFB 1.6 in March."
Meanwhile, further down the pipe is DirectFB 2.0. With DirectFB 2.0 they will be aiming for universal framework support, Cairo 2D library support, efficient 2D vector graphics and media handling, surface pools, an advanced hardware abstraction / driver integration layer, support for Khronos APIs, and full support for GTK. The Khronos APIs being talked about are OpenGL ES, OpenVG, and OpenMAX. Even completing a portion of these proposed action items will require extensive work. The ideas and plans for this far-out DirectFB 2.0 release have long been brought up on
this Wiki page
For those interested there's also a DirectFB TODO list in
the Git repository
. Among the items there is finishing VT switching support, support for rotated screens, configuration system improvements, modularized pixel format support, and virtual window resolution with scrolling/panning support.

Germaben II - If you are making lotions, and you wish to keep your lotions nice and creamy without mold and other nasties growing in your creations, you need Germaben II. Germaben is a mixture of propylene glycol, diazolidinyl urea, methylparaben, and propylparaben. It is meant to be used as .3 to 1.0% of the total weight of your lotion. Germaben II needs to be at a temperature of 140F degrees or below to effectively inhibit mold and bacterial growth.
Bramble Berry strongly recommends making lotions by weight, with a scale. However, we recognize that some of our customers have other methods of manufacturing lotions. Here is the exact weight to volume conversion if you prefer to make your lotions without a scale.
INCI: Glycol (and) Diazolidinyl Urea (and) Methylparaben (and) Propylparaben
.1 oz by weight = .082 US fluid ounces = 2.42502943 ml

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
Chuck Prophet is an Americana lifer. Back in the Paisley Underground '80s, he slung guitar for scruffy roots rockers Green On Red. And since 1990, Prophet has been crafting little-heard records for little-known labels like China and Cooking Vinyl while being sought after by such diverse acts as Cake, Kelly Willis and the Mr. T Experience. Last year, he delivered the majestic No Other Love(New West). Masterfully mixing rock, country, blues and soul into twisted character studies and heart-baring tales, Prophet created one of 2002's finest discs. Whether it's the achingly beautiful title track, the eerie folk-funk of "That's How Much I Need Your Love" or the rambunctious Tom Petty-via-Highway 61 "Run Primo Run," this stellar effort offers a wealth of rough-hewn gems. Live, Prophet's road-tested charm and ragged ferocity never fail to attract more disciples to his flock.

PHOENIX -- Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw achieved two more firsts Wednesday. He became the first 16-game winner in the major leagues, and he did it while pitching in a bases-loaded situation for the first time this season.
The first time.
"It is a pretty shocking stat ... but not really," Dodgers left fielder Scott Van Slyke said after Kershaw fired eight effective innings to lead Los Angeles to a 3-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Kershaw (16-3) gave up one unearned run on six hits and two walks while striking out 10. He retired 12 of the final 13 batters he faced, and he lowered his ERA to a major-league-best 1.73.
Right fielder Matt Kemp hit a two-run double in a three-run third. Van Slyke capped the inning with a bases-empty homer off left-hander Wade Miley (7-10) as the Dodgers (76-58) won for the fifth time in six games.
Arizona loaded the bases with one out in the third on singles by shortstop Didi Gregorius and center fielder Ender Inciarte and a walk to third baseman Cliff Pennington. Kershaw got out of the inning on a soft line drive to second base and a flyout.
"Does it surprise me, yeah," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said after being told Kershaw had not been in a bases-loaded situation previously this season. "But nothing too much surprises me about him anymore."
Kershaw, the prohibitive favorite to win his third NL Cy Young Award in four years, has made 14 consecutive quality starts (six innings or more, three earned runs or fewer).
He has not given up more than three runs in his last 18 starts, since an 18-7 loss to the Diamondbacks on May 17, when he allowed seven runs in a career-low 1 2/3 innings.
"I'm sure getting kicked around a little bit is going to fuel him," Mattingly said, referring to the May outing against Arizona. "He's not going to talk about it. I don't know it. He just went to work, and his next outing he started rolling again."
Inciarte, who had two hits, tripled to open the fifth inning but stayed there when Kershaw retired the side on two strikeouts and a infield popup.
Arizona (55-78) finished 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position while losing for the ninth time in 11 games.
"We didn't do too much with him," said Arizona left fielder Mark Trumbo, who left four runners in scoring position. "I am not terribly pleased. The reality is he is pretty tough to do too much against. A big hit at some point would have been real nice."
Kenley Jansen pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his 38th save, the 100th of his career.
Kershaw leads the majors in victories despite missing five weeks with a teres major strain following a season-opening victory over Arizona in Australia.
"When we beat him here, he was leaving his slider up," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "Tonight he was bearing his slider down and in."
Arizona scored its run in the fourth inning. Right fielder Alfredo Marte doubled, and he scored after first baseman Jordan Pacheco dropped a single into left-center field and Van Slyke committed an error.
Pacheco's single bounced off center fielder Yasiel Puig, and Van Slyke turned his right ankle while retrieving the ball. Van Slyke made an awkward throw from his back toward second base, enabling both runners to advance. Van Slyke left the game and was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain.
"Just a little bit rough early," Mattingly said of Kershaw. "It seemed like the angry, hungry grizzly bear had gone just grumpy out there.
"I thought he settled in the most after the ball that 'Slykie' came in and got hurt on. He settled down. He had better tempo. It seemed like he was battling early on to get his rhythm. After he got that, it was pretty much lights out after that."
Van Slyke has 10 homers this season, four against Miley, one in Australia, one at Dodger Stadium and two at Chase Field.
NOTES: Dodgers LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu threw two 10-pitch innings in a simulated game and did pitchers' fielding practice Wednesday afternoon, manager Don Mattingly said. If Ryu recovers well, he will start either Sunday or Monday, with RHP Roberto Hernandez starting the other game, according to Mattingly. Ryu is eligible to return Saturday from a right hip strain. ... Dodgers 1B Adrian Gonzalez, nursing a sore back, did not start. He appeared as a defensive replacement. ... Arizona CF Ender Inciarte recorded his second outfield assist in two days, and the D-backs extended their major league lead to 39. Inciarte has 10 outfield assists, tied for first in the NL with Dodgers CF Yasiel Puig.

Product description
Set against the glorious Cotswold countryside and the playgrounds of the world, Jilly Cooper's `Rutshire Chronicles`, `Riders`, `Rivals`, `Polo`, `The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous`, `Appassionata` and `Score`!, offer an intoxicating blend of skulduggery, swooning romance, sexual adventure and hilarious high jinks. `Riders`, the first and steamiest in the series, takes the lid off international showjumping, a sport where the brave horses are almost human, but the humans behave like animals. The brooding hero, gypsy Jake Lovell, under whose magic hands the most difficult horse or woman becomes biddable, is driven to the top by his loathing of the beautiful bounder and darling of the show ring, Rupert Campbell-Black. Having filched each other's horses, and fought and fornicated their way around the capitals of Europe, the feud between the two men finally erupts with devastating consequences during the Los Angeles Olympics.
