End energy profiteering: The rich get richer, the poor get colder
Big Six suppliers heading for bumper profits and bonuses as more than 5.5 million UK homes hit by fuel poverty

Friday 10 February 2012
More than 5.5 million households are suffering under fuel poverty, many being forced to choose between heating or eating.

Meanwhile the Big Six energy suppliers increased their profit margins by 733 per cent in just three months last year. Enough is enough. Today The Independent supports a campaign to force energy companies to share their profits with the needy. The aim is simple: to make essential home energy affordable to all.
An estimated 3,000 winter deaths are caused every year by fuel poverty and as the winter chill really begins to hit home, with more snow and icy weather forecast for the next few days, it could be the worst time for the vulnerable, particularly the elderly.
Research by Age UK last month found that two million elderly people are so cold that they go to bed when they're not tired in an attempt to keep energy bills down. More than two-fifths of people surveyed admitted to turning their heating down even when cold.
Average household bills have doubled in the past six years from around £600 a year in 2006 to more than £1,200 a year now. The increases have more people than ever slipping into fuel poverty – when their gas and electricity costs account for at least a tenth of their income. According to research from uSwitch, £1,500 a year on energy is the tipping point at which three-quarters of households will start rationing their energy, three-fifths will go without adequate heating and more than a third will be forced to turn their heating off entirely.
That figure looks like edging ever closer as further energy increases seem highly likely, especially after wholesale gas prices reached a six-year high earlier this week. Meanwhile, in October the regulator Ofgem revealed that energy suppliers had increased their profit margins by a whopping 733 per cent, from £15 to £125 per household.
The campaign – End The Big Six Energy Fix – is being co-ordinated by pressure group Compass and has already attracted cross-party support from politicians as well as economists, civil society leaders, charities, religious leaders, celebrities and campaigners. The 100 leading figures are today urging the Government to tackle the predatory behaviour of big energy companies by introducing a new levy on their profits.
They set out their three demands in a letter published in today's Independent signed by a range of figures – including the Green Party leader Caroline Lucas, the former Home Secretary David Blunkett and the Tory parliamentary private secretary Mark Lancaster.
The main aim is to introduce a windfall tax on energy companies' profits and to use the money raised to make homes energy efficient, which would also reduce fuel poverty. The funds raised should be ring-fenced to help people with their energy costs, particularly those living in fuel poverty.
The campaign is launched ahead of the profit announcements of the big energy companies later this month. In the first six months of 2011 alone the Big Six energy companies posted profits of around £3.5bn.
Caroline Lucas, leader of the Green Party, said: "It is completely outrageous that the Big Six are able to rake in eye-watering profits as people up and down the country are forced to choose between heating their homes and feeding their families.
"These companies are delivering a crucial public service, and it is now the Government's responsibility to hold them to account for failing to provide anything close to a fair deal for consumers. We need to see Ofgem taking a far stronger role in regulating this out-of-control industry."
Andy Atkins, executive director of Friends of the Earth, said: "It's scandalous that the major energy firms are netting billions of pounds in profit while more than five million households in Britain struggle to heat their homes."
Gavin Hayes, general secretary of Compass, said: "If the Government can impose a levy on the big oil companies, then why not impose a similar levy on big energy companies?"
Campaigners are encouraging people to sign a new petition at www.endthebigsixenergyfix.org.uk. They hope that public support will pile pressure on the Chancellor to announce plans for a levy in March's Budget.
From today the campaign will be targeting millions of people across Britain through Twitter and Facebook.
Case study: 'It's a case of sitting back and hoping the bills aren't too high'
Owen Ellis, 77, finds paying for heating his home a real struggle, especially since the Coalition Government cut back the annual winter fuel payment this year by £50
"My monthly income is about £400 so I can't afford to keep the heating on all the time," said the former local council worker, who has been living alone in east London since his wife died three years ago.
"But I'm one of the lucky ones as the flat I rent is new and well insulated, so if I blast the heating for a couple of hours, it keeps the flat warm for a few hours longer."
He sticks £7 away every fortnight to pay for his quarterly heating bills. "It's a case of sitting back and hoping the bills aren't too high when they come in," he said.
"The Government's attitude simply seems to be that if they take the money away from the elderly and people die, it will be less of a financial burden on them."

Are there "stinky" foods you like?
- ipsedixit Apr 17, 2009 03:05 PM
I'm pretty big fan of durian, which most people would describe as smelling like day-old soiled diapers.
There's of course Taiwanese "stinky" tofu, which I love and which some people say reeks of rotting fish.
Some people say things like blue cheese and SE Asian fish sauce stink, but I've never found those food items to be all that malodorous, but then again I'm not a big cheese person.
Do you have any "stinky" foods you love?
You're a better chower than me, I watch Andrew Zimmern, on Bizzare Foods, try to eat that and he gaged. I'll stick to most pungent cheeses.
re: tatamagouche
Fish in most any fashion? Really?
I suppose fried fish would be ok, no? Or how about a Fish-O-Filet? :-)
re: ipsedixit
Is Fish-O-Filet actually fish, or like potato starch & artificial fish flavor?
Hard boiled eggs are pretty smelly! But I DO love egg salad and devilled eggs. Love most stinky cheeses. Don't like fish to smell like anything except the sea. (Not a big sardine or mackerel fan, here.) adam
I love stinky foods.
-dwenjang and cheonggukjang (smells like a pet store when done well)
-old kimchi
-leftover roast turkey that's been sitting in the fridge long enough to get a little funky
-anything with lots of garlic that's at least a few days old
-beans (the stink comes later...)
The stinky tofu I've had has been a let down; plenty stinky, but no more flavorful than regular tofu.
re: Humbucker
My new favorite chowquote "smells like a pet store when done well.)
Humbucker FTW!
30+ years ago, 8 fit guys departed Westwood, MA. for North Fayston, VT, in a van with chainsaws, provisions, and beer, to first build a bridge across the river, and then a log cabin atop the mountain. In 3 days. The aromatics of the Limburger in my pack drew attention during the ride, and they hunted it down and threw it, unopened, out the window of the speeding van. I was seriously outnumbered and let it be, but I like Limburger. I enjoy lifetime use of the cabin.
re: Veggo
I find Pont L'Eveque an even richer flavour than Limburger. Oddly enough the taste is not that strong. There is a an odd though painful pleasure in the smell. Like picking a scab.
Do not buy it in France and then take another two days driving home. The smell adheres to the inside of the car, reminding you of your holiday for weeks afterwards.
re: Sam Fujisaka
Pulque, along with mayan needlework, is increasingly harder to find.
re: gordeaux
Kimchi! (on my profile) I usually have about four jars in various stages of fermentation, from the baby almost -crunchy for my protestant friends, to the wilting, browning, delicious ambrosia that almost explodes like a hand grenade when I play bomb squad and open it and I survive again. Let the kimchi fun begin!
re: hannaone
In the air pressure battle, kimchi and kraut always win, don't they. :)
Those un-pressurized cargo holds at 30,000 feet have seen lots of shards of glass and sprayed cabbage.
re: AngelSanctuary
The allure of stinky tofu is not the taste per se; rather, it is the stink that makes stinky tofu special.
One could ALMOST say the same about durian. I sometimes wonder if durian would be as tasty if it didn't smell so foul.
I'm a big fan of nam mem/nan tom/nan ruoc. Mixed in various viscosities, they add some character to a lonely can of sardines. Also good added to juiced green veggies and soups.
Su-fu is probably at the entry level of stinky foods, but it's a favorite.
Not yet done the deed on the Durian. It's on the life list. Tips for my first sampling would be appreciated
Limburger is the caseinated ambrosia of the Gods. Grandpa from Wisconsin would bring it on his visits when I was a child, along with braunschweiger, gjetost, and waferbreads. Mom would simply disappear, totally overwhelmed, already overcome with the simple act of having to use real butter instead of our usual margarine to fry his eggs during his visit. She would provide onions from the pantry, which Gramps would slice to use raw as a palate cleanser. I vividly remember the moment of "gaining my stripes" in his eyes when I suggested we raid my dad's stash of canned anchovies.
Gramps was cool. Stoic and usually silent. He built houses in days before Skilsaws. Near the end of his life in 1972 we were watching crosscountry ski races on TV winter Olympics. He turned to me and parsed out one of his infrequent utterances: "When I was your age, in Norway, I raced a horse and sleigh 30 miles, on skis. Beat their ass."
Gramps was cool. I reserve Limburger for the times when I want to treasure his memory.
re: Veggo
Susan Boyle...you are da bomb...DON'T...I repeat DON'T... change your looks nor your lovely Scottish brogue EVER!!!! do you hear me??? (I've a "Kerr" in my family tree....quite Scottish.)
yes, I do love stinky foods (I think)...love the kimchee, love anything cabbage...love smoked kippers (that co-workers request I eat elsewhere)...love sardines...love sauerkraut...love onions and garlic...all those stinky but quite healthy...foods!
re: FoodFuser
Yumpin' yiminnie!
re: Eat_Nopal
garlic is from the heavens, also
re: JungMann
That's too bad. When I shared a house with a couple of Koreans, we had a nice East-West stinky-food cross pollination that made opening the refrigerator a sometimes harrowing experience, but sure was tasty for all involved. We seriously contemplated getting a second one for mild things like milk and cucumbers and eggplants, though, as they tended to absorb an odd mix of smells.
re: tmso
I try to minimize the amount of ethnic cooking I do, especially after having had housemates unused to living with foreigners vocally express their shock and bewilderment around most everything I ate: things like gumbo or ginger. On one occassion, apparently fed up with the exotic smells of Asian cookery, one stormed into the kitchen and yelled at me for cooking something that was stinking up the apartment. I was boiling saltwater to make spaghetti.
re: JungMann
Where do you find housemates like that? In NYC!!!
I love all the stinky foods you've mentioned: durian, preserved tofu, fish sauce and would like to add a few others: shrimp paste, natto, raclette cheese, kim chi and onions!
In terms of just using cooking as opposed to febreze to stink up the house...
Boiling up the chicken carcases to make stock (wife doesn't like the smell at all)
Seasoning a wok or 'self-cleaning' the oven.
My weekly curry-fest.
Egg salad
The sauerkraut fermenting downstairs ... competes with the fermenting beer
re: Perilagu Khan
Maybe to YOU it's nonstinky...
re: EWSflash
Quite. A half Paraguayan half Uzbek woman was repelled by my salami on wheat and my Red Delicious apple.
"Stinky" is subjective. I like pungent flavors so probably most things I eat are "stinky."
In the US my childhood home and the couple of apartments I lived in had a kitchen which is open to the rest of the house, no doors. Having spent time in my adult years in South Asia and the Middle East I have come across a great home-design: the kitchens have a door! In small apartments, too. A door to keep in all of the food smells! When you cook, you shut the door! In some older upscale houses that I have been to in South Asia, there is even a separate structure that people use as the kitchen, it is not a part of the rest of the house.
Perhaps the real estate crisis in the US will push home designs in a simpler direction from these huge houses with two sinks and two closets in the master bedroom of recent years. But I wish this trend of closable, door bearing kitchens would come to the US. What a great idea. If I were rich I would build my house designed this way. I like that Asian home style, and also that of toilet bidets/spray in home and public restrooms for ultimate cleanliness.
Just a thought. No more food smells in the other rooms, wafting up and permeating the clothes in the closet. A kitchen door. I love it!

Why are they making it 2? I understand that it would be a very long movie, but...still. It doesn't matter about suspence, because most of the people going to see it knows what happens, so my question is...Why Keep Them Waiting?
- Wednesday 18 AugustBy Veronica
Because if you'd read the book, the book has a lot of detail that is extremely essential and crucial to the storyline and therefore cannot be excluded. I really don't think it is for the suspense. However, I'm sure there are business reasons like the release dates for example. The films would make more money and have a longer run in theaters during peak seasons. In the end, I just think Warner Bro's move was made due to the story details and marketing reasons.
- Thursday 19 AugustBy wdwyer
All other reasons aside, no deatils, no keeping "true" to the novel.
It's easy and it's simple...it's called money.
2 movies means double the money. Period.
- Wednesday 18 AugustBy ckLow Ranked Vote downVote upReport this
Harry Potter is quickly losing its audience. Too long in between books and movies. Two part finale is okay if the movie would be too long, but Nov and Jul? Nov and Feb, maybe.
- Wednesday 18 AugustBy B
- Thursday 19 AugustBy wdwyer
I tend to agree. It's not losing any audience...one just needs to have stood in line for the final book's debut to realize that. This is about money and if the audience was dwindling at all, they would have cut their losses and did away with the franchise with one final movie. The simple fact they split the final book into 2 movies simply shows they KNOW for a fact that each will gross much more than any previous Potter movie. That tells me they think the audience will be there.

When someone creates a,mind blowing,story of films like the Potters',one can only imagine reality,within this fantasy. I found myself longing for the next Potter film to happen.

Live Super Bowl Ad Rating Panel Organized by UT Austin Moody College of Communication
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Jan. 30, 2014
AUSTIN, Texas — During this Sunday's Super Bowl, advertising professors from The University of Texas at Austin Moody College of Communication will live tweet critiques of Super Bowl ads.
Professor Neal Burns (), Assistant Professor Angeline Close (@angelineclose), Assistant Professor Carlos Hernandez (@chm_utaustin), Associate Professor Michael Mackert (@mackert), Assistant Professor Kevin Thomas (@kevin_d_thomas), Professor Gary Wilcox (@garybwilcox) and lecturer Steve Wille (@swilleman) will share their thoughts under #SBAdJudge.
They will assess ads on qualities such as the presence of a strong emotional hook, relevance to the brand's position, the likelihood that a viewer would ask friends to view the ad and the likelihood that a viewer would want to see the ad again.
The faculty members will meet virtually through 3D ICC's Immersive Terf platform to watch the Super Bowl. Now based in San Francisco, Burns uses the Terf platform to teach his Advanced Account Planning Seminar at Moody College.
In addition to the faculty panel, students from two advertising courses will tweet their thoughts about Super Bowl-related social media and ads. Students from Wilcox's Social Media course will post under , and students from Wille's Sports and Social Media course will post under #ADV378S.
The faculty members all have deep experience in advertising, marketing, traditional media, social media, online media and messaging. For a fuller description of their backgrounds, please see: http://ow.ly/t7Rs2.

Bill & Bo Winiker Sextet
Sun, Mar 3, 2013
Times: 5 PM
Venue: Shalin Liu Performance Center
37 Main Street, Rockport, MA 01966Contact:
Rockport Music
0 people saved this
A venerable Boston musical institution, Bill and Bo Winiker having been playing together for half a century--from entertaining Boston-area jazz fans to performing at President Clinton's inaugural ball. They were taught how to play music, specifically jazz, by their father at a very young age, and through unique arrangements perfected the big sound of a swing band. They have recorded with Billy Joel and performed with Aretha Franklin, yet haven't missed one gig at Skipjack's Sunday brunch in over 23 years. With a repertoire of more than 15,000 songs, the Winiker's can play everything from Duke Ellington to Katy Perry, but as founder of Sculler's Jazz Club Fred Taylor remarks, they have "great jazz knowledge and performance." Whatever the tune, "[t]he one ingredient is that [our father] taught us how to make the music come alive,'' says Bo.

I've come over from experimenting with android to Iphone development. so i'm having a lot of trouble not only finding what i'm looking for but knowing even the right term to use for this subject. Alright, this is what i'm looking for, i just need to know if it's possible, and if it is, a push in the right direction.
The best way i can describe it is skinning. in the end this is all i really need. What I'd like to be able to do is create a custom skin for different ui elements ex: custom button idle and down image.
I'm not really looking for a "trick" or "work-around", i really just want to know if the sdk has this, or if iphone supports such a thing. If it didn't, bummer but I could get over it.
I hope i'm being clear enough, your aid is appreciated.

GAO reviewed the Department of State's new rule on fees for consular services for Department of State and overseas embassies and consulates. GAO found that (1) the rule revises the schedule of fees for consular services in support of enhanced border security and a reduction in the execution fee for the passport book, and, as a result, the total cost for a first-time passport for an adult will increase, the total cost for a renewal passport for an adult will increase, and the total cost for a passport for a child will increase; and (2) the Department of State complied with the applicable requirements in promulgating the rule.

China is making steady progress on its path to making the renminbi an international currency, as the FT writes in a Special Report, The Future of the Renminbi, published today.
See here for an Interactive graphic that traces the renminbi's progress since 2000.
China continues to gradually open up its capital account, make offshore renminbi liquidity more easily available, and sign up more renminbi trading centers (London and Frankfurt most recently). To become a reserve currency, China also needs to let the renminbi's value be market-determined rather than being tightly managed relative to the US dollar.
On March 16th of this year, China took another step towards freeing up its currency. The daily trading band around the renminbi's central value relative to the U.S. dollar was widened from 1 percent to 2 per cent in either direction. The reasonable expectation had been that this would lead to faster appreciation of the currency and more volatility. Instead, the opposite happened. Was the shift to a wider trading band just a head fake? Read more

Woodham Ferrers,...
Finally, just in time for Halloween, I finished the Elizabethan Gown.
The gown itself was made of a suiting fabric that looked and felt like a lightweight wool. It had a very full skirt (with boxed and hanging pleats) and an 8ft train. It was boned and laced closed at the front and the lacing covered with a plastron which hooked across the front and featured a beaded "necklace" detailing.
It was a race at the end to get it all done in time but so utterly worth it on the night.
This was one of the most interesting, frustrating and ultimately rewarding projects I have made and to wear it feels amazing, I can see how people get hooked on Tudor costuming!
The whole project can be seen at http://makesmemine.blogspot.co.uk/p/elizabethan-costume.html

Tony Blair's support for the United States in its so-called "war on terror" has been unquestioning. But never has the Prime Minister's stance with respect to the Bush administration left him so politically isolated in Britain. Yesterday, the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, which could once be relied upon to give Mr Blair an easy ride, joined the chorus of condemnation.
The committee's latest report criticises Mr Blair's unwillingness to stand up to President Bush. Echoing last week's United Nations report on Guantanamo Bay, it argues that the very existence of this prison has gravely diminished the moral authority of the US around the world. It also calls on the Government openly to condemn the US practice of "extraordinary rendition". British ministers, it argues, should tell the US that the practice of transporting terror suspects abroad for torture is "completely unacceptable".
Our government has been supine towards the Bush Administration on these issues. When allegations emerged that CIA prisoner transport flights have used Britain as a stopover, the first reaction of Jack Straw was to pour cold water on the story. The Foreign Secretary solemnly informed Parliament there had been no requests for rendition flights via UK airports since September 2001. But on Wednesday the National Air Traffic Service revealed that there have been 200 flights through British air space by CIA planes suspected of being involved in rendition. It seems that our Foreign Secretary is more concerned with keeping MPs and the public in the dark than getting to the bottom of this issue. As the Foreign Affairs Committee noted yesterday, it was only after "prodding" from EU partners that Mr Straw even wrote to the US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, to request a response to the charge that America operates secret prison camps.
Unfortunately, the idea that Mr Blair will be persuaded to speak out against such practices seems unrealistic, considering the measures he is attempting to introduce here in Britain. The Prime Minister has demonstrated almost as little concern for human rights at home as President Bush has abroad. The Government is in the process of extracting "memoranda of understanding" from several nations to the effect that terror suspects deported to them from Britain will not be mistreated. Such states include renowned torture states such as Libya, Jordan, Algeria and Egypt. And, as Amnesty International points out today, the Government's introduction of control orders and detention without charge for terror suspects amounts to a "sustained attack" on the civil liberties of British citizens.
The Foreign Affairs committee assumes that ministers have been lobbying the US over human rights behind the scenes. But from what we heard from the Prime Minister in his monthly press conference yesterday, this seems fanciful. Mr Blair's condemnation of Guantanamo Bay was pathetically weak. And his defence of his domestic anti-terror agenda was equally depressing. According to our Prime Minister, "little attention is given to the human right of British citizens to live free of the fear of terrorist attack". When he makes such nonsensical statements, one wonders whether Mr Blair actually understands what civil liberties are.
The human rights legacy of the Blair era is taking shape. Abroad, the Prime Minister is content to turn a blind eye to torture. At home, he is relaxed about the reintroduction of detention without trial and determined to push through a host of other pointless curbs on our civil liberties. Unless this changes, Mr Blair is in danger of being remembered as the man who squandered Britain's reputation as civilised nation.

I am trying to get a session recording of everything I do using
WWW::Mechanize. It is really important to have the HTML with the input fields filled and saved to a file.
My code:
$m->save_content($file); # Saves the page without any forms filled
$m->field('user_name', $user); #fills the form
# I need to save the html with the filled form
# $m->save_content($file_2); won't do it
# $m->dump_forms; shows that mechanize knows about the filled forms
$m->save_content($file); # Too late, already in a different page
Any ideas? I have seen it working with
LWP::UserAgent but I don't have access to the code.
I have tried everything I can come up with but nothing will update content with the values of
EDIT: basically what I want is to have a function of the type:
$updated_content = merge($m->content, $m->dump_forms);
So when I save it I can see what the input that was given to the forms into a html slideshow.
I don't need to save the current state of the object or restore the session after it is closed.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our players and families, we hope you have a fantastic day!
From all at Shoreline FC
Dear Soccer Parents.
Our local soccer coach in Rowayton, Louis Elneus, has a non-profit that supports education in Haiti (Haiti Lumiere de Demain). We are hosting our annual fundraiser this Thursday night at The Spread in SoNo from 7-11pm. Haiti Lumiere was recently chosen by JetBlue for their "Fly It Forward" initiative and I was lucky enough to join them on this trip. This was my second time to Haiti and I can tell you that this is a organization worth supporting--it believes in empowerment vs. charity. I am hoping you can join us but if you can't please consider a donation on their website, www.haitilumiere.org. Danny has been kind enough to attach the video that Jet Blue created as well as the invitation. If you have any question please ask!
Thank you in advance,
Dre Towey (Shoreline Players Mom)
Shoreline FC, our Greenwich and Madison CT based Premier soccer club took to the fields in wet and soggy conditions this Columbus weekend in Long Island, NY.
THIRTEEN Shoreline FC teams entered the Northport Columbus Weekend tournament; the largest Columbus weekend tournament in the Northeast! Both boys and girls teams as young as U8 through U14 (many of our younger teams only newly formed this fall), Shoreline competed with the best NY, NJ and CT had to offer.
It is with distinct pleasure that I share Shoreline FC's amazing success at the tournament. When the dust had settled and all the players had given there all, Shoreline FC had FOUR Tournament Champions (BU9 Chelsea, GU10 Bobcats, BU10 PSG & BU12 Porto) and ONE Tournament Runners-Up (BU12 Benfica)!!
A tremendous well done to all those who participated and to those who triumphed.
We at Shoreline FC Premier Soccer Club, are excited to announce the launch of our brand new Branch in New Haven County CT
Our second home will be at the impressive facility of CT Sportsplex, North Branford, which boasts 3 grass soccer fields, 5 baseball fields, a full size indoor turf soccer field and a smaller indoor field in their clubhouse. Shoreline FC will have sole usage of the Brand New Soccer Field.
We are extremely proud to be joining their facility and team

Kim Kardashian Sex Tape to Sell For...by Hilton Hater at . Comments
It's safe to assume no one would pay for the rights to the Kim Kardashian music video. Seriously, that thing is a joke.
But Vivid Entertainment Chairman Steve Hirsch has confirmed to TMZ that, yes, a mysterious buyer is trying to remove the Kim Kardashian sex tape from the open market. Would he give the video up, like Kim gave up her precious flower to Ray J and then acted like it wasn't a PR ploy all along?
Yes, for a high price.
"Based on its long term value, it looks like $30 million would be a starting point for a discussion on all of the rights," Hirsch told the site, adding that he has "no idea" if Kim is behind the offer, like Ray J was behind her, thrusting, during key moments of the tape.
We'll keep readers apprised of this negotiation, but we want to know: How much would you pay for these rights?
This tape has been around (and around and around...) for so long now that everyone who wants to see it already has so who cares? Kim and her whole family have already made their millions and become famous because of it. Who cares at this point who owns the rights to it? Kim is still famous because of it and her entire family, even her own mother, have made money because of it so why now should the issue of ownership rights matter? The family already traded dignity and self respect for cash so who cares what they do with this sex tape from here on out? If Kim was really oh-so-upset about that fact that it existed in the first place she would make every effort to squash things like this. She is not upset and if it makes her a few more dollars she will do it. Gross.
Now that's the @Guest, i cant believe this!! me and my sister just got two i-pads for $42.77 each and a $50 amazon card for $9. the stores want to keep this a secret and they dont tell you. go here BidsOut.com
this sounds interesting because i have the entire tape on my computer :)
its mighty funny that THG r "Kim Haterz" as well, but they stay on her a**, more than RayJ was...LMAO

By Noel Michaels
After the Breeders' Cup has come and gone and you are looking for the best racing in the country to bet over the course of the month of November, don't overlook Aqueduct's fall main track meet - it is always one of the most underrated race meets of the year. The Aqueduct Fall meet, starting Wednesday, October 29, will be a short but sweet race meet offering horseplayers some of their best wagering options during from now until Thanksgiving weekend alongside some other great seasonal racing going on this time of year at Churchill Downs and the new Del Mar autumn meet.
Many people associate Aqueduct with small fields and low-priced winning favorites, but that reputation mainly stems from Aqueduct's winter inner track stretching from December through March. The Aqueduct fall main track meet still features big, wide-open fields, turf racing, and plenty of good betting opportunities similar to the just-closed Belmont Fall Championship Meet, especially nowadays with Aqueduct racino pumping giant cash into the purses. This big money will be enough to keep plenty of horses and horsemen running in New York throughout the fall. Bigger fields will means a lower percentage of odds-on favorites, and that means better racing and wagering in New York until Gulfstream's winter meet opens in December.
The Aqueduct main track Fall Meet offers handicappers a great betting product at a time of year that is generally pretty lean in terms of classy racing around the country. To some bettors, Aqueduct simply means the start of the long, cold winter in New York racing. However, the brief high-quality month of November at the Big A should not be confused with the Aqueduct inner track meet that follows it. All horseplayers should instead make the distinction between the inner track and Aqueduct's main track, which is among the fairest racing surfaces in all of North American racing and also includes turf racing and several important stakes races centered mainly around the Thanksgiving weekend.
Racing at Aqueduct in November should be more than enough to help handicappers fend off the post-Breeders' Cup blues. November racing at Aqueduct will be just what the doctor ordered for you. This is because there is usually very little track bias at Aqueduct, there is still good turf racing on the schedule, and most of the top New York-based horses, trainers, and jockeys are still around during the month of November.
For starters, one-turn routes at Belmont give stretchout sprinters a better chance to handle an added distance as opposed to Aqueduct's two-turn routes, which favor true route horses that don't have distance limitations. This is why we often see big turnarounds in form from horses moving from Belmont to Aqueduct.
The routes at the Big A are actually more akin to routes run at Saratoga and Monmouth than they are to the races at Belmont. Therefore, give preference to route horses that show good route form from Saratoga, Monmouth, and especially back class and form from the Aqueduct main track when you're betting at Aqueduct, and don't be afraid to bet against the horses that had been taking advantage of Belmont's one-turn routes in order to rack up their sharp recent form.
As mentioned, this factor makes the horse for the course angle on Aqueduct's main track even more important than it is elsewhere. Scan horse's career record boxes in the past performances for their past Aqueduct main track form, and give the edge to horses for the course that are proven on the Big A main track and turf course. These horses can turn their fortunes around immediately with the switch away from Belmont to a more favored surface.
Keep a close eye on how the track plays during the first full week of the Aqueduct main track fall meet and be flexible enough to go-with-the-flow with your wagering. An opening week bias might be just a short-term trend, but even a short-term trend may turn into a meet-long trend at a meet like this which lasts only about four weeks.
Not surprisingly, the far outside posts generally do not do well on the Aqueduct lawn. Even when the closers tend to win more than their share, posts 8 and outward struggle on the Aqueduct turf. This seems to suggest the importance of saving ground early in Aqueduct turf races, especially around the first turn.
Finally, beware the far inside rail Post #1 on the Aqueduct grass, which has been dead on-and-off for parts of the last few years. Horses from other inside posts generally do well, but the rail post itself is hit-or-miss. Perhaps it is something that has to do with wet or dry weather. In wet weather, the turf rail might be the last place to fully dry out, making it a disadvantage when the track is being upgraded from something other than "firm" condition.
Irad Ortiz had 46 winners and a 21% win percentage, while Castellano won 43 races with a win percentage of 19%. Both riders, along with third-place Joel Rosario (38 winners at Belmont but a big 26% win percentage), and fourth-place Jose Ortiz (32 wins, 15%) should rule the jockey standings at Aqueduct this November. Also watch out for Manuel Franco, who doesn't win at a high percentage at Belmont, but who rides a ton of horses, wins races, and should see his win percentage improve this time of year.
In the trainer's standings at the recently concluded Belmont Fall meet, Chad Brown enjoyed a giant season and ran away with the meet title with 30 wins (25%). His barn is dominant now with horses of every category, but keep in mind that other trainers who might offer more wagering value have also won for high winning percentages this fall - all in the 24-26% range - and all cannot be overlooked. This group not only includes trainers who require no introduction such as David Jacobson, Rudy Rodriguez, Christophe Clement, and Todd Pletcher, but also lower-profile barns such as Gary Gullo, Abigail Adsit, Michelle Nevin, and Thomas Morley.
If you blink, you'll miss one of the great and underrated race meets of the year in Thoroughbred racing - the Big A main track fall meet. Enjoy the season, and don't overlook Aqueduct. Best of luck!

The ears seem off-model to me, but in a way that I actually find charming.:love: The shoes would be freaking adorable if the proportions were right — the "toes" are too far away from the "Micktoo." This is strange because they nailed this on the Peter Pan costume.:???:
I'm a little disappointed to see Disney using the paw effect so much, though. I'm sure it's not, legally, but that mark feels like OLC's intellectual property to me and Disney is — as Disney does — totally milking it. And yet still not getting it right…weird.:shy:
If it's $20, I think it's not half bad, but it's in that box, so I bet it's not $20. Though it probably will be, or less, soon enough.;)
Still, this is among the least original ideas to come along yet. And why now? Why not wait for Mickey's birthday or some sense of timing? They just throw out whatever, whenever and hope for a bite. They're not trying to tame foxes; they're trying to hook fish. That's not what Duffy's about.:(
$30 is okay. I was looking for Peter Pan, just for the boots and it was $50. If I wanted the rest of the costume, though, I'd pay $30 for these Trunk sets seems a little high, but only a little. It's definitely a move in the right direction.;)
At least the new costume is one of the better quality ones, being sold in the boxes. They should make more of those. The issue is that it's yet another character costume, and also, that it basically repeats yet again, a similar Build-a-Bear costume. So far, most of Duffy's character costumes overlap with very similar BAB versions. Peter Pan, Mad Hatter, Buzz, Woody, now Mickey. They really need to create things that don't have alternate competing versions, or start making non-character costumes! At least this Mickey costume appears to be better quality than BAB's. I've seen that one in person, and the fabric is kind of thin. The plush Pluto is also a bonus. And, Disney's gloves are better proportioned. I agree about the pawprint on the shoes though, it's not correct, but...I'm happy that there is at least some detail on the shoes.
But can we PLEASE, PLEASE get everyday wear for Duffy? If they are already stepping on BAB's toes with the licensed characters, why not start releasing normal clothes too? Disney really should take a look at what they license..I know they are different departments, but if they want to make sure Duffy costumes sell, then they should maybe consider eliminating the licensing with BAB and just have the Duffy versions as the only option. It's dumb to have two nearly identical costumes for sale by two different companies...especially since BAB's is half the price of Disney's...
Did anyone notice that Pluto is licking Duffy's Mickey shoes?
30 bucks, has the quality improved on the box sets? Sorry I haven't looked at box sets.
Duffyd, I agree the Mickey paw print is an OLC thing and I wish WDI wouldn't do that.
DuffyD, I'm not sure if TDL still has them, in 08 when I was there and before i fell for Duffy, I got a Pluto that has a strap and a zipper so u can put stuff inside him. He was so cute and I couldn't resist, DH wasn't with me on all the days I was at TDR so Pluto was and he and Duffy are good friends now. For me Pluto is special and reminds me of TDL. So I'm happy they did a Duffy plush of Pluto. As you know I love Duffy size park things. I so want a map his size someday, that is made out of something more lasting then paper. And a cup of soda and coffee that he can hold in his hand.
Disney store in Japan, has the bears with outfits. Why doesn't WDI do that for Duffy? It's more street clothing with a disney theme. I don't think they should copy the stores in Japan, but the idea and make it more like what the guest could ware, like American Girl. Little girls can dress like their dolls. Cute addition to the the Duffy line. But then I think OLC may start that so again WDI is behind them. WDI need to put so cool designed things out there.
