CSN displayed a weird stat after Daniel Briere scored a goal
This is an odd one. After Daniel Briere scored to make it a 1-1 game against the Washington Capitals, the CSN broadcast displayed an interesting graphic. Usually these tend to mention how many goals the player has scored so far that season or something along those lines. Instead, CSN chose to display when Briere last scored four goals in a game.

Avs should consider moving O'Reilly
In the past, I've been very vocal about my belief that the way the Colorado Avalanche manage their forward lines is not a recipe for long-term success. I won't rehash all the reasons why I believe that to be the case, but to put it in its simplest terms there are just very few teams with enough talent to be able to score consistently across three lines. Plus, even if you are...

Truncated - "shortened by or as if having a part cut of"
Unpredictable - "not predictable; not to be foreseen or foretold"
Uncomfortable - "causing discomfort or distress"
Sharks - "mostly marine fishes, certain species which are large, voracious and dangerous to humans"
Realization - "the making or being made real of something imagined, planned"
Home - "a house, apartment or other shelter that is the usual residence of a person, family or household"
Home - "the place in which one's domestic affections are centered"
This truncated season has been unpredictable and since the Murray trade the Sharks players have shown they are uncomfortable with the realization that home as they know it could change via a trade unless they play well at home, which they have done so far by shutting out the Ducks and Wings in back to back games.
Stay tuned hockey fans, this improbable season is just kicking into high gear and don't try and figure out what's going to happen, just enjoy the ride.
Go Sharks!
• Douglas Murray, aka the Crankshaft, introduced all of us to his patented "head down, eyes up, hit-back." Cranker would have his head down to lure opponents to come and hit him but unbeknownst to them his eyes were up – meaning just before they hit him he planted his 245 lb. middle linebacker body and offered the hit-back. Opponents would get credit for a hit yet they ended up going down …. Hard! Good luck in Pittsburgh Cranker and thanks for all great memories in San Jose. You will be missed both on and off the ice!
• With Jon Cooper getting the Head Coaching position in Tampa Bay a void was left for their AHL team, the Syracuse Crunch. Ex-Shark player and assistant coach Rob Zettler was named Head Coach of Syracuse – congrats to Zetts who is one of the best guys I have ever met.
• The Sharks just completed a stretch of 15 games out of 20 on the road. The Sharks spent 28 of the last 43 days on the road and a rough estimate of about 42 hours of time in the air. Remembering your hotel room is the least of your concern, especially when the wins were hard to come by. The good news is this tough stretch of the season is now in the rear view mirror and the Sharks are still clinging to a playoff spot.
• What's in store – 7 home games in a row, 13 straight days in San Jose and not having to eat every meal in a restaurant. Here's to some good home cooking both at home and on the ice where the Sharks have a home record of 8-1-4.
It's great to be back in San Jose where we have the best fans in the NHL.
Skating - quickness, speed, mobility, agility, backwards
Hockey Sense - ability to anticipate and make the right decisions ... quickly
Compete Level / Win Battles - have to win battles to get the puck
Puck Skills - stickhandling, quick hands, puck protection, making and catching passes
Ability to Score - some players have the knack, others don't
Size / Strength - helps to win battles and endure a grueling schedule
Leadership - ability to make others better
Intangibles - discipline, experience, good details/habits, work ethic, not injury prone
It takes a combination of all these attributes to be a great player and to build a great team. The fastest team doesn't necessarily win, neither does the biggest or the most skilled. Building a team is like making a great stew, you need just the right ingredients and they have to all compliment each other.
The Sharks along with every other team they are competing with to make the playoffs are trying to find just the right ingredients. Isn't that what makes hockey, and sports for that matter so interesting; watching teams try and find that right mix of character of chemistry. The Giants did it as did the A's and 49ers and now the Sharks are trying to do the same thing.
Don't forget to set your clocks for 11am PST on Saturday - that's game time against the Wild. Should be a great game.
Drew and I were reminiscing on the flight home from St Louis about our 93/94 team. That team wasn't the biggest, fastest or most skilled but man did we battle, compete and play for each other, not to mention we got unreal goaltending from Arturs "The Wall" Irbe.
Drew was an assistant coach and a big part of that team. I was a 3rd line player and a big part of that team. And that's the thing, teams with character and chemistry get contributions from everyone and everyone buys in and knows their role.
We started that year 0-8-1. No one outside of the players and coaches thought we would do what we did by making the playoffs and upsetting the Red Wings.
The 2013 Sharks team is big, skilled and while they might not be the fastest team in the league they compete and are hard to play against. The coaching tandem of McLellan, Robinson, Johnson, Woodcroft and Heimlich is top notch.
Maybe this team has seen a pro-longed rough patch that will help them come together and develop a chemistry that leads to special things happening. I don't know but I am looking forward to watching how the second half of this truncated season plays out.
Drew and I can just cheer these guys on but we would both love to see this group get that special feeling - it doesn't happen often and its fun to reminisce about years later.
Go Sharks, BEAT LA!
Can you imagine the NFL season being 32 games in 68 days? That's the equivalent of this short season where teams are playing 48 intense, pressure filled games in 99 days.
Anyone who expects the players to be at their best for that many games in such a short time period with all the travel has never seen a game played at ice level --- or played in a short NHL season before. It's fast, it's physical and the bumps and bruises add up.
The Sharks have laid an egg twice this year - in Columbus and in Calgary, otherwise they have competed in every game. In Columbus they looked mentally unprepared to battle - it happens!. In Calgary they were working hard but they had no legs and couldn't get to the places their brains told them to go to, it happens! Playing the night before and traveling on game day is not an excuse, it's an explanation.
We are exactly at the halfway point of this truncated (love that word by the way) season. The Sharks are truly a half is glass full, glass is half empty team depending on how you want to analyze them.
Stingy defense with great goaltending or a team that can't score? The Sharks are currently in 7th place, 2 points out of 4th and 6 points away from 15th. The schedule gets even tougher the last month and a half and it will be a wild ride to the finish.
This short season sure beats the non-season in 2004/05. I can't wait to get the 2nd half of this season going and the opponent is perfect, the St. Louis Blues, the team who knocked the Sharks out of the playoffs last year.
Tonight should be a good game and then it's back to back with our SoCal rivals and the defending Stanley Cup Champions - what a great week for hockey.
- I like the new proposed re-alignment from the Sharks standpoint. In their division are 3 teams from Canada; Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. These cities are all hockey hotbeds and fun to visit, not to mention some good rivalries. Makes for a great road trip for any hockey fan looking to see Sharks hockey on the road.
- The Sharks and Blues both have 26 points, with the Sharks having 1 game in hand. Makes for an awesome matchup on Saturday at 1pm at HP Pavilion. This will be an intense, physical game and I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Sharks respond after the loss in Calgary, not to mention these two teams meet again on Tuesday in St. Louis.
- After the game the Sharks hit the road for Colorado where they play on Sunday and start a span of 7 games out of the next 8 on the road. We knew this tough schedule would be a grind and it is.
- Hard to believe that we are almost as the halfway mark (24 games) for the season. Even more incredible is the fact Chicago has played 24 games, or half their season, and still has not lost in regulation.
- Parity is great for the fans but the coaches are all scratching their heads trying to figure out how to get even the slightest edge to help them gain some ground in the standings.
Enjoy the games this weekend!
Maybe the reason the Sharks are struggling offensively is the team is in transition. I say that because this version of the Sharks has had a total team commitment to team defense. The goaltending has been great and pretty much every player is sacrificing in some way for the collective whole, from a defense first standpoint. Here are the facts:
Goals Against Per Game: 2.05 3rd NHL
Penalty Killing: 86.7% 4th NHL
Given up 2 or less goals in a game: 14x (8-2-4)
5-5 Goals Against: 25
Defense wins championships and this year the Sharks are playing as well defensively as I have seem in a long time. Remember the LA Kings struggled last year to score but built the foundation of team defense, solid PK and great goaltending during the regular season and their playoff ride was pretty decent to say the least.
Good test this week as the Sharks head to Canada to play back to back games against Vancouver and Calgary.
The game just started, and the start was great
Havlat created the turnover, using his skate
Jumbo got the puck, he's like a big elf
He passes to Cooch, who scores top shelf
Niemi was stellar, as was the PK
The players were prepared, they worked hard all day
Burish and Sheppard, did great work down low
Galliardi was 1st star, and knew where to go
The home cooking was needed, it took away some stings
The 2 points are in the bank, now bring on the Wings

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Cadillac CTS
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.6
Building upon Cadillac's commitment to reestablish its place as the world's standard of luxury, the 2012 CTS lineup aims to bring the fight directly to its European and Japanese competitors with a brand-new powerplant, additional standard equipment and a host of high-tech features. For 2012, variety is the name of the game. With sedan, coupe, and wagon models, high-performance CTS-V variants for each body style, and available all-wheel drive (AWD), the Cadillac CTS series is perhaps the most diverse nameplate in the luxury segment.
Whether you are looking for a premium American car that stands out in the crowd or a luxurious ultra-high-performance vehicle, the CTS series will fulfill your wants and your needs.
If nothing short of an import luxury brand will do, there are many exceptional alternatives from the likes of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Lexus, Acura and Infiniti.
2012 CTS models receive a new available 318-horsepower V6 engine, three new exterior colors (Black Diamond, Opulent Blue and Mocha Steel) and standard Bluetooth hands-free phone capability. The exterior colors are also available for the CTS-V models, as well as an available blind spot warning system for the coupe model.
Driving Impressions Through twisty two-lanes, fast freeways, urban congestion and mixed-speed suburban sprawl, we came to appreciate the 2012 Cadillac CTS' responsive steering, world-class roadholding and powerful brakes. Given its performance-based engineering...one might expect a correspondingly firm ride, but we found the CTS' suspension surprisingly supple even on the most troubled surfaces. We loved the quiet cabin's luxurious design, and the multi-adjustable seats are uncommonly comfortable for long hauls. Who knew that a performance car - the CTS-V Sedan boasts a 3.9-second 0 to 60-mph time – could also provide a quiet, comfortable driving experience? The CTS-V's Magnetic Ride Control suspension system offers an impressive balance between race-inspired handling for the track and undisturbed ride quality for daily driving. The larger Cadillac CTS, however, lacks the agility of its BMW 3-Series and Mercedes C-Class competitors.
Bose 5.1 Cabin Surround Sound
This sound system boasts surrealistic sound with 40-gig hard drive and iPod integration. It will download and store your CD collection, and operate your iPod or other MP3 device from the concealed USB port.
Feature-Packed Navigation System
The 2012 CTS lineup's available navigation system offers real-time traffic and weather, advanced voice recognition, 3-D imaging of major landmarks and an 8-inch touch screen that pops up on demand.
Befitting a world-class luxury vehicle, the CTS' cabin is awash in high-quality materials – upholstered in faux leather or the real thing depending on the trim level you choose – and state-of-the-art technology. The dash is wrapped in elegant, French-stitched soft-touch material accompanied by warm wood accents and metallic trim. The available navigation display retreats into the dash, but leaves about an inch of exposed screen that serves as the audio system interface. Despite its elegant and neatly-appointed layout, the CTS' interior ergonomics could use some fine-tuning. The coupe and wagon's sloping rear roofline hinders rear-seat headroom while the center console's swept design occupies a decent amount of the driver's knee room.Exterior
The 2012 CTS' athletic design is characterized by a newly refined version of Cadillac's distinctive shield-shaped grille, Cadillac's signature vertical headlights and taillights and deeply sculpted fenders emphasizing its wide, aggressive stance. Coupe models feature center-mounted exhaust outlets and a clever electronic touch pad for the doors which eliminate the need for conventional door handles. CTS-V models feature a unique front end with a satin-finished mesh grille, hood bulge and unique 19-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in Michelin PS2 high-performance tires.
The base CTS sedan and wagon variants are powered by a 270-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 driving through a 6-speed manual transmission and roll on 17-inch aluminum wheels. Inside the CTS cabin, you will find dual-zone climate controls, an 8-way power driver's seat, Bluetooth hands-free phone capability, a rear-seat/trunk pass-through for long objects and an 8-speaker Bose audio system with SiriusXM Satellite Radio and MP3 capability. Standard safety and security equipment includes six airbags, Stabilitrak stability and traction control, daytime running lights, automatic on/off headlights, programmable power door locks, a theft-deterrent system, and one year of OnStar security and convenience service with audible turn-by-turn navigation.
Living in a in a chilly climate? All CTS trims (excluding CTS-V models) offer available all-wheel drive as well as an engine-block heater for those cold startups. Additional available equipment includes a sport-tuned suspension, High-Intensity Discharge headlamps with adaptive lighting to illuminate the side of the road when cornering , wood trim, a 10-speaker Bose premium audio system with a 40-gig hard drive and - get this – a live radio pause and rewind, iPod integration, navigation system with an 8-inch pop-up display, EasyKey keyless entry and ignition – the key never needs to leave your pocket or bag – and an Ultraview panoramic sunroof (not available on CTS-V or Coupe models). Prospective CTS-V buyers seeking the ultimate in comfort can opt for a set of 14-way power-adjustable Recaro sport seats featuring pneumatic adjusters for both the seat bottom and back.
The 2012 Cadillac CTS offers two levels of 24-valve direct-injection V6 power. The standard 3.0-liter V6 is good for 270 horsepower, while the optional 3.6-liter engine pushes output to an impressive 318 horsepower. The 3.0-liter comes standard with a 6-speed manual, while a 6-speed automatic is optional. Cars with all-wheel drive can only be equipped with the automatic transmission. Buyers who spring for the high-performance CTS-V are treated to a 556-horsepower supercharged V8, matched to either a 6-speed manual transmission or an available 6-speed automatic with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

270 horsepower @ 7,000 rpm
223 lb-ft of torque @ 5,700 rpm

This Certified Cadillac looks brand new inside and out so I feel like I got a great deal on this beautiful car. I wanted a nice road car that felt somewhat youthful in both appearance and function to drive for business and pleasure. I have owned European cars in this class but was always plagued by issues with them so I was dead set on American luxury this time around. The CTS seems to be a perfect fit for me. I'm not a large person but I do have a 6 foot passsenger and we both find the car seats very comfortable. Steering, brakes and throttle are quite responsive on the 3.0 model. Interior seems quiet and the Bose audio is fantastic. All in all, I am very happy with this car and see myself keeping this one for quite a while (which is so.. not like me)."

3 Items Found
- La Playa Cabernet Sauvignon Estate 2013 Product #28796 (In Stock)
As soon as we tasted this fantastic value, we knew many of you would love it. From first sniff to last note of the finish, its a juicy, red currant and cherry Cabernet Sauvignon with a bit of spice, a hint of herb and just the right dusting of dark chocolate. The round texture, generous flavors, and grape sweeet-tart and spiced cherry finish make it easy to pair with food and a great Tuesday supper and Saturday party red. If you enjoyed past red values like Owl House or Chilensis, this could be your next big thing for not many bucks at all.
- Errazuriz Max Reserva Pinot Noir 2012 Product #28951 (In Stock)
About the last place in the world we expected to find a great value California Central Coast Pinot Noir was...in Chile! But, it makes sense. This is 100% Pinot Noir grown just 15 miles inland from the Pacific Coast, and it's a sweet/tart gem. Juicy raspberry fruit lifted by honest acidity and with savory accents of fresh earth and wood smoke. This will shine with anything from salmon to duck, but you'll probably be most tempted to just drink the stuff all by itself. Pretty stellar value.
"This coastal Pinot is round and full in feel, with reedy cherry and plum flavors matched by creamy oak. Briny hints, vanilla and integrated oak help this Pinot finish with elegance." Wine Enthusiast 89 points
- Casa Silva Carmenere Reserva 2010 Product #28734 (In Stock)
A traditional, but very drinkable, Carmenere from Chile's Casa Silva. On the nose, aromas of blackberries, leather, cherries, and tobacco call to mind a more full-bodied wine. But on the palate, it's lighter on its feet, with the hint of herbaceousness you find in French Merlot and Cabernet Franc, but with more ripe, satisfying fruit. A real winner that shows that Carmenere has a place as a stand-alone variety.

I am unable to open VBDOX. When I try to run the exe, I get the message "You do not have an appropriate license to use this functionality". Can someone let me know what might cause this?
Bobby Dygert
I too am having this error. What is causing it/how do I fix this?
Mihayl Stamenov
What version of VBDOX do you try to run and on what Windows version?
I was able to successfully run version 2.1.0 on Windows XP Pro using a machine I have admin rights on. However, running the same version 2.1.0 on a Windows XP Pro machine where I did not have admin rights failed with the message stating I didn't have an appropriate license. I am assuming your install program requires admin rights, correct? If so, is there a way to use VBDOX on machines with limited permissions?
-- Cory
Carlos Garces
VBDOX should work without admin rights... maybe one file is missing...
Try to use dependencywalker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) to identify the problem.
Un saludo
Carlos Garcés
Using Dependency Walker, I received the following when I ran vbdox.exe through the tool:
"MSJAVA.DLL Error opening file. The system cannot find the file specified (2)."
Is there anything else that I should be looking for?
Carlos Garces
Dependency Walker (without run vbox, only open the exe) find any missing file?
You can also try to install VBruntimes... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290887
Un saludo
Carlos Garcés
You can find the log from Dependency Walker here (http://cory.deppen.us/docs/dw_output.txt). Please let me know if you see anything abnormal.
As for the VBruntimes, I have more current versions of the files on my PC.
Patrick Brueckner
Hey mihayl,
I do have the same problem, I do not have admin rights (and probably will never have) - dependency walker reports:
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.
The MPR.DLL is on top of the list and reddish with the hourglass next to it. when I double-click MPR.DLL it says:
MSJAVA.DLL Error Opening File. The System couln't find the file specified (2)
I am working with Windows XP SP2. VBDOX Version is 188.8.131.52.
Mihayl Stamenov
Hi, I have no idea what can cause these problems.
The MPR.DLL linking problem is normal. It has hour glass because it's loaded later if available by some of the DLLs used by vbdox.
But you can look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/177799 or try VB6Cli.exe as described in
Best regards,
Patrick Brueckner
hey mihayl,
thank you for your reply. unfortunately it seems, these problems come up because i dont have any visual basic installed, just office visual basic.
i'll try installing vb 2008 express.
thanks again,
Carlos Garces
You don't need VB 2008 to run VBdox (that is compiled under vb6)
Try installing
Run-Time Redistribution Pack
And Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Common Controls
Un saludo
Carlos Garcés
Patrick Brueckner
I just realized that I would need administrative rights, which I do not.
I guess I will have to document everything by hand.
Well at least I'm getting paid for that.

From our news partner, WITI in Milwaukee:
ST. LOUIS, MO. (WITI) — The St. Louis Rams allegedly reached out to Brett Favre on Sunday night after losing Sam Bradford to a season-ending knee injury, according to ESPN.
According to ESPN, the Rams asked if the 44-year-old retired quarterback would be willing to play through the back half of the Ram's schedule.
Favre allegedly told the Rams through his agent Bus Cook that he was retired — and declined the offer.
The Rams ended up signing Brady Quinn and brought back Austin Davis.

I attended this event along with my girlfriend and her parents (it was her father's birthday). We arrived and sprung for valet parking ($8), although there was plenty of spaces available on the street. The show started a little late, but I'm glad that we arrived on time because it did indeed fill up. The comedians were wonderful (especially Pat Brown and a woman from Wisconsin named Chastity... she was amazing!!!). The drinks are priced about what you would expect to pay in Chicago ($6-$9), so no complaints there. All in all a good time was had. We definitely plan to go back, and to get our tix from Goldstar!

Do you ever find yourself in a class rut? You've discovered a teacher you love, a class that seems to meet all of your movement needs, and you attend religiously—until one day, you realize that what used to feel fresh has become routine, or doesn't challenge you the way it once did. That doesn't mean you need to abandon this once-beloved ritual for good, but maybe it's time to throw yourself into something new for a few weeks. If you're in New York, there's never a shortage of opportunities to try something completely unfamiliar. Here are a few class and workshop series that recently started (or are coming soon) that could help you shake up the day-to-day:

Frame of mind...Sitting here on the ledge,
Staring over the edge,
Holding my heart and closing my eyes,
Taking love in as my pledge.
If I was unsure of the danger,
Simplicity has been achieved,
The pain has been defeated,
My angry dagger sheathed.
The ice that built up inside me,
Melts into spring,
Where butterflies float in my stomach,
and the birds in my voice sing.
It's the frame of mind,
That puts me at ease
Holding his hands within mine,
For now it's all a tease.
One day it'll be forever,
One day I will shine,
One day this won't just be,
My still frame of mind.
Star Crossed...Her eyes say yes,
Her brain says no,
Her heart says maybe,
Her soul says definitely so.
Her body trembles with every touch,
Her breath hitches with every sound,
He picks her up like the angel she is,
and with a kiss presses her to the ground.
A loving gasp between these two star-crossed lovers,
Always meant to be,
What was felt and what was said,
Is nothing compared to what they need.
Just need you...Crazy psychotic,
Talk to much,
So afraid,
Way out of touch.
Reality is a mystery,
Life is a blur,
I act like I have a speech impediment,
All my words slur.
I'll find the words,
Then they'll sit quitely in my throat,
Sometimes I can't think,
And around you I'll just choke.
Gasping for air,
Begging to breathe again,
Falling farther into myself,
I don't want to be my friend.
I need you more than ever,
I didn't realise til' I saw my dream fall through,
I don't need material objects,
I just need you.
Raining Blood ...Prolouge...-Raining blood- [Prolouge]
It was then I saw it before me, the very reason my family fought for so long. My ancestors had no idea what I was seeing now, nor would they. The truth was beyond their eyes, and I felt the very coldness down my spine as Nova touched my back, I looked over and up at him with solemn eyes. His smile pierced through my somber attitude, and I then looked down and away. It was useless, what could I really say?
"I wish our families would stop fighting... I wish I could show them everything I've seen now, and make it all better... Maybe then, we could both try living normal lives?"
Yeah. That would be the perfect thing to say to the rivals. They'd execute me on the spot for even THINKING such a thing. I shook my head, and put my palms to my face. What could I do? Without the housing of my clan, I was weak, absolutely useless and defenseless. I was pretty useless to the Linux clan as well.
"You've got something on your mind..." Nova now removed my hands f
Poem of the beginning...Upon this ladder I stand,
Waiting to take a fall,
Until love catches me in it's grasp,
I will continue to see it all.
All the worlds wonders,
Surrounded in mystery,
The shadow of death lurks upon me,
I can feel his cold hand tracing down my spine.
For the afterlife does not scare me,
The serenity of silence does,
I close my eyes and hold the pills in my hand,
Prepared to take another drug.
All these different places,
All these different faces,
Everything is so new,
Sometimes, I wonder, will you ever get a clue?
Sometimes I suffer,
As these wounds break open inside,
For they are like blisters,
They get infected and puss sometimes.
For my love has yet to wane,
and my heart has yet to be slain,
I will wait for my prince in armor,
Till then, I'll live in a grand delusion.

WinStar Farm announced it will conduct drawings for its "Breed to Win" promotion that will reward supportive breeders with a complimentary 2013 breeding season to 15 WinStar stallions. The drawings will be held Saturday, Feb. 9th at 11 a.m. at the launch of WinStar's new state-of-the-art stallion complex in Versailles, which opens for the 2013 breeding season.
The "Breed to Win" promotion will consist of one complimentary season drawing for each of the 15 stallions, which will include Super Saver, Bellamy Road, Drosselmeyer, Spring At Last, Gemologist, Colonel John, Pioneerof the Nile, Sidney's Candy, Artie Schiller, Pure Prize, Kodiak Kowboy, Street Hero, Hold Me Back, U S Ranger and Maimonides. Breeders eligible for the 15 drawings will be those who have signed a 2013 contract to one of the coorelating 15 stallions by a deadline of Feb. 8th at noon.
"With 4 WinStar stallions finishing in the Top 15 on the 2012 General Sires List, we wanted to show appreciation to our breeders who have played such a huge role in WinStar's growing success," said Elliott Walden, WinStar's President & CEO. "By noon on February 8th, if you hold an existing 2013 live foal contract to any of our stallions standing for $20,000 or under you will be eligible to win a free season."
Gerry Duffy, WinStar's Stallion Director, added: "Not many farms are willing to give away $156,000 in stallion seasons, but we want our breeders to have the opportunity to capitalize during these difficult times. WinStar is continuing to strive ahead with the opening of our new stallion facility, and we felt this was a positive way to launch our new barn."
For more details on the 15 free stallion seasons drawings, contact Gerry Duffy or Chance Timm at 859-873-1612.

Prosecutors today filed charges of second-degree murder and endangerment against an ex-Chandler police officer directly into court, which may be an indication a grand jury refused to indict him, the ex-officer's defense attorney said.
The charges come a week after Judge James Keppel ordered the case back to the grand jury after finding that a Chandler police detective gave misleading information about victim Dawn Rae Nelson's body position to the panel that indicted Daniel Lovelace in November.
Since prosecutors filed the charges directly into court, it now will be up to a judge to hold a preliminary hearing, which is a mini-trial of sorts, to determine whether there is probable cause for Daniel Lovelace to stand trial. Lovelace's initial appearance is scheduled for Tuesday, defense attorney Craig Mehrens said.
Lovelace shot and killed 35-year-old Nelson on Oct. 11 when she tried to run from him during a criminal investigation. The ex-officer said he was in fear for his life because Nelson had turned her car towards him as she fled and that he was facing her when he fired his handgun.
Prosecutors said, however, that the fatal bullet entered Nelson from the rear and that witnesses said they saw Lovelace chase the fleeing car before firing. In his ruling to send the case back to the grand jury, Keppel said an accurate presentation of Nelson's body position was important because the incident happened quickly. Maricopa County Attorney spokesman Bill FitzGerald declined to comment on the status of the case.
Mehrens said he does not know if the grand jury refused to indict Lovelace, but if it that is so, then that should have been the end of case.

Details on Industry Insight.
Summer Rapp, the former Vice President of Design for Quiksilver Women and most recently Creative Director at Roxy, has left the company.
Summer said in an interview she resigned in early January and her last day was Feb. 2.
She has joined her husband Stever's design firm add-black, which previously focused on men's design services, and is already working on some women's projects.
Add-black's client roster for men includes brands such as Adidas, Burton, Disney and Skullcandy.
Summer's ultimate goal is to lay the foundation to start a brand this year, and she needed a more flexible schedule to work on making that dream a reality, she said.
Summer was in charge of design for Quiksilver Women when it launched, and she said it was exciting to create a more forward, contemporary line.
While the line enjoyed success in the contemporary market, it was not growing as much in the surf market, so the direction of the line changed, she said. The new team is doing a great job as well, she said, it's just a different direction.
Summer was then brought in to improve Roxy, which was not a good fit for her creatively, she said, as her interests lie more in the contemporary market.
Meanwhile at Roxy, SVP of Design and Merchandising Susan Branch leads a full design team that includes vice presidents of design for each major Roxy category, said Quiksilver VP of Investor Relations Bruce Thomas.
Roxy is actively looking to fill Summer's Creative Director position, Thomas said, and understands Summer's desire to pursue interests that are more of a fit creatively.
Quiksilver Women has been renamed QSW and is designed by outside designer John Moore, who is also designing the new Quiksilver Girls line, which ships its first goods this week.

You been feeding the birds again Guy ?
Nearly cute - but not quite. Great photography
Its a good thing they are pretty, otherwise they are just another buzzard looking to steal a meal. Fantastic shot and series Guy. I think the title could be "Wadda ya mean - cooked leftovers again?"
blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the worth
and shall inherit the girth - is not Gluttony one of the seven deadly sins ?
And mirth makes eight
Thanks Waldo, Dianne, Cal and Tery.
There's no sin in the animal kingdom Waldo, only consequences.
