The Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo is the perfect test for the top regional cowboys from all across the country.
Those hoping for the elusive national title know theyŌĆÖll have to match themselves against some of the best bucking stock in the game, and a good portion of those will come from Pete Carr Pro Rodeo.
The Texas-based stock contractor will feature 36 animals at the RNCFR, set for Wednesday-Saturday in Kissimmee, Fla. That is the largest contingent of animal athletes from all the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association stock contractors in Florida.
The list of Carr animals includes a big number that have bucked at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, including bulls Medicine Show, Footloose, Cajun Smurf, Line Man and Mind Games; saddle broncs Cool Runnings, Mike & Ike, Empty Pockets, Lone Star, Gold Coast, Spur Strap and Lori Darling; and bareback horses Ragin Angel, Witchy Woman, Ladies Man, Utopia, Yo Yo, Night Bells, Alberta Child, Big Lights and Real Deal, a former Bareback Horse of the Year.
With that kind of firepower, itŌĆÖs bound to be an explosive race to the national championship.
NACOGDOCHES, Texas ŌĆō Pete Carr is always on the lookout for the brightest talent in Pro Rodeo.
As owner of Pete CarrŌĆÖs Classic Pro Rodeo, Carr knows the key to his business is to provide a great competition and incredible entertainment, all wrapped into a nice package that is rodeo. Whether itŌĆÖs an athletic horse, a bucking and spinning bull or a great act, the purpose is to bring the best before the fans.
ThatŌĆÖs the philosophy that will go into the Nacogdoches Pro Rodeo & Steer Show, set for 7:45 p.m. Thursday, March 26-Saturday, March 28, at the Nacogdoches County Arena.
ŌĆ£All anyone wants is a chance to win, and the fans are there to be entertainedŌĆØ Carr said. ŌĆ£I get a lot of feedback from our contestants and fans about the stock and that they really enjoy the clowns and specialty acts that we are able to secure for our events across the country. We try to rotate the top people in the business to keep it fresh and at a level the fans have come to expect and enjoy. ŌĆØ
Enter John Harrison of Soper, Okla. In 2013, he was selected to work the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo as the barrelman. Last season, he was recognized as the Professional Rodeo Cowboys AssociationŌĆÖs Comedy Act of the Year and the Coors Man in the Can, an honor that rewards the top clown in the association each year.
In addition to hysterical acts that showcase HarrisonŌĆÖs talent and athleticism, the Oklahoma man serves as a valuable piece of the puzzle that helps make for a near-flawless performance each time he speaks.
ŌĆ£John is a true professional. He is good, clean family fun,ŌĆØ said John Gwatney, the production supervisor for Pete CarrŌĆÖs Classic Pro Rodeo, the livestock producer for the rodeo. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs his rodeo background, because he grew up in this sport. He has perfect timing and helps us with the ebb and flow of a rodeo performance. He has a tremendous amount of talent and versatility that translates into a vital piece of the puzzle for a successful event.ŌĆØ
ThatŌĆÖs the key to reaching fans with a variety of entertaining items. Whether itŌĆÖs a trick riding display that will leave fans in awe or his parody of rodeo queens, Harrison has a lot of ammunition in his bag.
ŌĆ£I do this for the love of the sport,ŌĆØ he said ŌĆ£Growing up with it, you enjoy it. Now I can actually make a living at it, so that helps.ŌĆØ
While family is a big part of who Harrison is, he realizes that rodeo serves as a foster family of sorts.
ŌĆ£The friends and the ŌĆśfamilyŌĆÖ you meet on the road is a big deal for us,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£Plus if it wasnŌĆÖt fun, I wouldnŌĆÖt do it.ŌĆØ
Roy Cooper is a Hall-of-Fame cowboy and an eight-time world champion.
He also is ŌĆ£Riding for the BrandŌĆØ as part of the Tate Branch Auto Group team, and he will carry that brand with him to numerous rodeos throughout the year and as a broadcaster on Ride TV, where he will be broadcasting from Western sports events from across the country.
Born in Hobbs, N.M., and raised on rodeo and ranching, Cooper won his first two Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association title in 1976, finishing that season as the top tie-down roper in the game and the Rookie of the Year. He followed that with five more gold buckles in that discipline and added the most coveted crown in the game in 1983 as the World Champion All-Around Cowboy.
That same season, he won the steer roping title, establishing himself as one of the greatest all-around ropers to have ever played the game, polishing off a Triple Crown season in which he won three titles in a given season. He owns 32 qualifications to the National Finals, most of which came in tie-down roping. In 1981, he also appeared at the NFR, heeling for World Champion H.P. Evetts.
Cooper has been inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame, the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame and the Rodeo Hall of Fame at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. He also is the father of three sons: Clint, a five-time NFR qualifier who grew up in Lovington, N.M.; Clif, a four-time NFR qualifier; and Tuf, a seven-time NFR qualifier and a three-time and the reigning world champion tie-down roper. Both Clint and Clif are part of the Tate Branch Auto Group team.
For his promotional work with ŌĆ£Riding for the Brand,ŌĆØ Cooper has received a newly wrapped Ram Truck, courtesy of Tate Branch Auto Group in the New Mexico communities of Hobbs, Artesia and Carlsbad.
ŌĆ£We are extremely excited to have Roy Cooper join our team of cowboys and cowgirls who are ŌĆśRiding for the Brand,ŌĆÖ ŌĆØ said Joby Houghtaling, the director of operations of the Tate Branch Auto Group. ŌĆ£Roy is a living rodeo legend who will be fun to watch covering rodeos and other events across this great nation of ours on Ride TV.ŌĆØ
GUYMON, Okla. ŌĆō The most coveted trophy in rodeo is the Montana Silversmiths world championŌĆÖs gold buckle.
Many who have earned them have them fastened to another prestigious trophy, the belt awarded to champions of the Guymon Pioneer Days Rodeo. The race for this yearŌĆÖs championship belts is set for Monday, April 27-Sunday, May 3, at Henry C. Hitch Pioneer Arena. Performances will take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday; 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday; and 2 p.m. Sunday.
Like every other trophy Trevor Brazile has, there are multiple Pioneer Days belts on display in his Decatur, Texas, home. The 21-time world champion ŌĆō 12 all-around, five steer roping, three tie-down roping and one heading ŌĆō is the reigning all-around titlist in Guymon.
He loves the opportunity to win more.
ŌĆ£I grew up 30 minutes from Guymon,ŌĆØ he said, referring to a childhood spent in Gruver, Texas. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve still got a lot of friends up there.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a great rodeo. I love the fans up there. TheyŌĆÖre die-hard fans. When you go to Guymon, youŌĆÖre pretty sure the windŌĆÖs going to blow. YouŌĆÖre not sure if itŌĆÖs going to be cold or hot, but itŌĆÖs a cowboy environment. I just enjoy it.ŌĆØ
Why shouldnŌĆÖt he? Each May, he is the favorite to walk away with multiple titles, just like he did in 2012; that season, he won the all-around, heading (with heeling partner Patrick Smith) and steer roping crowns.
But Brazile isnŌĆÖt the only world champion wearing the prized belt. In 2010 after winning the bareback riding championship, three-time titlist Will Lowe of Canyon, Texas, received his trophy two nights before the start of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. He ripped off the belt he was wearing, unfastened his 2003 gold buckle and attached it to the new leather.
Turtle Powell, the 2011 heading world champion from Stephenville, Texas, won the Guymon title a year ago, while 2014 bull riding world titlist Sage Kimzey of Strong City, Okla., parlayed his top score in No ManŌĆÖs Land to his first gold buckle.
Other world champions have found great success inside Hitch Arena in recent years are Ryan Jarrett, Matt Sherwood, Rocky Patterson, Jhett Johnson, Chad Ferley, Dean Gorsuch and Tuf Cooper. All are regulars in the Oklahoma Panhandle each May, but the competition isnŌĆÖt just limited to the elite players in the game. In fact, nearly 1,000 contestants make their way to Texas County each spring.
The week begins with four rounds of steer roping Monday and Tuesday, followed by the team ropers, tie-down ropers and steer wrestlers Wednesday and Thursday competing in two rounds. The top scores in the aggregate return for the performances. Barrel racers compete in the first round Friday morning, with the top times returning to the performances; the remaining cowgirls will make their second-round runs shortly after the first round is complete.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre there all week, which makes it nice; I need a time-share, but there arenŌĆÖt a lot of them in Guymon,ŌĆØ Brazile said with a laugh. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs important to me to go to the rodeos that keep tradition alive, and they do that well in Guymon. IŌĆÖm happy to support it.ŌĆØ
A good veterinarian and a lot of TLC go a long ways in the world of rodeo.
Just ask Jess Tierney, a four-time qualifier to the Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping and a regular at the Timed Event Championship of the World.
Like all other steer ropers, Tierney relies heavily on his main mount, a 14-year-old he calls Sox. But the talented gelding just returned to the arena after a seven-month stint on injured reserve after suffering a leg injury last July.
ŌĆ£I was giving him some time off, so he was just in the pasture,ŌĆØ Tierney said. ŌĆ£When I got there, the whole pasture was full of puddles of blood, and heŌĆÖd lost about 300 pounds.ŌĆØ
Tierney loaded the horse in a trailer and quickly shuffled Sox to the veterinarian, who put the animal in a cast.
ŌĆ£We had to keep him boxed up for a long time,ŌĆØ he said, referring to being in a confined pen to obtain the right care and keep an eye on healing. ŌĆ£We finally got him turned out this winter. We got a shoe on him right before San Antonio and the Timed Event.ŌĆØ
Sox has responded quite well. While Tierney traveled the rodeo trail, his girlfriend put in the work needed to care for the horse.
ŌĆ£She put in about four months of labor,ŌĆØ he said.
That tender, loving care paid dividends. Since Sox has returned to action, Tierney has earned more than $34,000 in competition. Half that came from the Timed Event, where Tierney finished third overall competing in heading, heeling, tie-down roping, steer wrestling and steer roping.
The other half came in steer roping, with the lionŌĆÖs share earned at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. He added nearly $5,000 this past weekend at the Ron Ross Memorial Steer Roping in Liberty, Texas.
Even though he finished 2014 without Sox in the arena, Tierney finished the year fourth in the steer roping world standings. It was his best season to date.
Now that he has his primary mount back on the road, he hopes to parlay it into a run for the gold buckle. Though heŌĆÖs competed in just two events so far, Tierney is sixth in the world standings. With a full season of steer roping yet to go, he has a great shot at realizing his world-title dreams.A good veterinarian and a lot of TLC go a long ways in the world of rodeo.

ALVA, Okla. ŌĆō It takes talent, perseverance and a lot of support to be successful in rodeo, and the members of the Northwestern Oklahoma State University rodeo team know that as well as anyone.
Steer wrestler Stephen Culling of Fort St. John, British Columbia, used it all to a third-place finish this past weekend at the Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College Rodeo. Riding a horse he is borrowing from fellow Canadian ProRodeo cowboy Clayton Moore, Culling won the first round and finished third in the two-run average in Fort Scott.
But it didnŌĆÖt come without the help he gets from other Rangers, including coach Stockton Graves, a Northwestern alumnus who has qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo seven times.
ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs just proves himself, and he spends a lot of time helping us out and getting us to that stage,ŌĆØ he said, noting that he also receives a lot of support from roommate Laine Herl of Goodland, Kan., and traveling partner Mike McGinn of Haines, Ore.; all three are in the top eight in the Central Plains Region standings, joining Grayson Allred of Kanarraville, Utah, and Tyler Batie of Rapid City, S.D.
ŌĆ£Good competition makes you step up and try to make you do better,ŌĆØ said Culling, who credits much of his success to MooreŌĆÖs horse, Santos, a 13-year-old that has been used quite a bit in ProRodeo. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs hard because you know all of you arenŌĆÖt going to get to go, but itŌĆÖs good to see your friends and traveling partners also do good.ŌĆØ
Culling led the way for Northwestern with his No. 3 finish, but he was joined in the championship round by two other bulldoggers, Batie, who placed third overall, and Chase Lako of Arthur, Neb., who placed fourth. They were joined in the short round by heeler William Whayne of Tulsa, Okla., who qualified with header Connor Osborne of Connors (Okla.) State College.
ŌĆ£Our (menŌĆÖs) team is strong,ŌĆØ Culling said.
The Northwestern women definitely are good. They lead the region standings and finished runner-up in Fort Scott. Rangers Shayna Miller of Faith, S.D., and Lauren Barnes of Buckeye, Ariz., tied for third in the average in goat-tying; they are the top two in the goat-tying standings, with Miller owning a 60-point lead.
ŌĆ£If I donŌĆÖt win the region, I want another girl from our team to win it,ŌĆØ Miller said.
Barnes won the first round, posting a 7.2-second run. Miller then finished fourth in the short round with a 7.9; both finished with a 15.9-second two-run cumulative time. They were joined in the short round by barrel racer Paige Winnett of Elmore City, Okla., and breakaway roper Cassy Woodward of Dupree, S.D.
The teams will have four weeks off until the next event, scheduled for April 9-11 in Weatherford, Okla., and will close out the season with three events over those three weekends in April.
ŌĆ£I just look at it like I have six runs to make,ŌĆØ Miller said, referring to her game plan on trying to secure the region title. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm counting on making the short round at the next three and putting six more runs together.
ŌĆ£I canŌĆÖt relax. There are (several) weeks between rodeos. It would be easy to settle and chill for a while, but IŌĆÖve got to keep right at it.ŌĆØ
That work is a good reason why she and the womenŌĆÖs team lead the Central Plains standings.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm just going to keep my horse in shape and keep myself in shape,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖll just try to keep my head right and stay positive heading to the next three and try to kick butt.ŌĆØ
GUTHRIE, Okla. ŌĆō Trevor Brazile is the most decorated cowboy in ProRodeo history.
On Sunday afternoon, he added another prestigious championship to his trophy case, winning the Timed Event Championship of the World for a record seventh time. In the process, he pocketed $116,000 ŌĆō most came in the form of the average title, which paid $100,000 for the first time ever; the rest he earned by having the two fastest go-rounds of this yearŌĆÖs competition.
ŌĆ£This is the event of the purist in my events,ŌĆØ said Brazile, who scored a 43.7-second second round Friday night and a 45.8 Saturday night. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve always loved it. It means a lot just because of everything entails. ItŌĆÖs 25 head. ItŌĆÖs a fun contest.ŌĆØ
He utilized a steady approach to claim the top prize, outdistancing runner-up Paul David Tierney by 25 seconds.
ŌĆ£YouŌĆÖve got a game plan when you come here,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£I try not to back off too much. I try to be efficient, but not overly protective.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve had a two-year hiatus from here. Coming back, you always question it. I felt like I could do it still, but until you come and do it, you never know.ŌĆØ
He knows very well. Over his nearly two decades of competing in the ŌĆ£Ironman of ProRodeo,ŌĆØ Brazile has earned $751,500.
ŌĆ£Not just the money has made it better,ŌĆØ he said, referring to the winnerŌĆÖs payout doubling from $50,000. ŌĆ£I think it added more excitement and obviously there was more on the line, but I think this is the most even set of stock theyŌĆÖve had. I think that helped keep it even throughout.
ŌĆ£This is probably the closest field IŌĆÖve seen. As a whole, it was keeping the pack together due to the quality of stock that was here. It let a guy do his job. There werenŌĆÖt as many eliminators here as there has been.ŌĆØ
Still, the top players in this game were challenged.
ŌĆ£It was tough,ŌĆØ said Tierney, the reigning champion who has finished among the top two each of the past three years. ŌĆ£Everybody roped good, and having Trevor come back and being able to compete against him was good. HeŌĆÖs got to come back next year so we can have it out again.ŌĆØ
He was one of two Tierneys to finish atop the standings. Older brother Jess, a four-time qualifier to the Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping, placed third. Between them, the Tierneys collected $42,000. ThatŌĆÖs pretty good for the sons of ProRodeo legend, Paul Tierney, a four-time Timed Event champion.
ŌĆ£This is just a great event, and you get to go up against guys like Trevor, K.C. Jones and Daniel Green,ŌĆØ Jess Tierney said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs the best event all year. I hope I can be like dad and come here until IŌĆÖm 60.ŌĆØ

GUTHRIE, Okla. ŌĆō The fourth go-round of the Timed Event Championship of the World was fast and exciting.
In fact, four of the top six fastest round times of the weekend happened Saturday night at the Lazy E Arena. ItŌĆÖs making for an exciting sprint to the finish Sunday afternoon.
ŌĆ£I usually try to not watch much of the other competition, but when itŌĆÖs as good watching as it is here, the fan in me comes out,ŌĆØ said leader Trevor Brazile, who has posted a 20-run cumulative time of 212.2 seconds, on pace to set a new record for the fastest aggregate. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs fun. There are a lot of good runs. There is a lot to be watching for.ŌĆØ
Brazile led the way again Saturday night, posting a 45.8-second go-round ŌĆō it is the second fastest round so far this weekend behind the 43.7 he posted Friday night. Kyle Lockett, a two-time champion, scored a 48.7, followed by Russell CardozaŌĆÖs 51.1 and Jess TierneyŌĆÖs 52.8.
It all happened before another large crowd.
ŌĆ£They have raised the stakes,ŌĆØ Brazile said, referring to the increased purse of $200,000, of which $100,000 is paid to the average champion. ŌĆ£They doubled first place. ThatŌĆÖs a game-changer. You can see it by the contestants and the fans.ŌĆØ
Brazile owns eight of the top 10 fastest times in the Timed EventŌĆÖs 31-year history, including the top six. He is also the eventŌĆÖs only six-time champion.
ŌĆ£When I have a chance (to post a fast round), and it comes down to the steer roping, it makes me a touch more aggressive,ŌĆØ he said, noting that bonuses are paid to the top six fastest rounds each year. ŌĆ£I didnŌĆÖt come here to win anything in the rounds. If I have a chance, I try to capitalize on it.ŌĆØ
Brazile owns a 22.5-second lead over the man in second place, defending champion Paul David Tierney, whose older brother, Jess, is third.

GUTHRIE, Okla. ŌĆō Between them, the Tierney family owns five Timed Event Championship of the World gold buckles.
Patriarch Paul Tierney earned four in his hall-of-fame career, while youngest son Paul David Tierney is the reigning champ. The Tierneys are tied with K.C. Jones with the second most titles in the ŌĆ£Ironman of ProRodeoŌĆØ and trail just one man, six-time winner Trevor Brazile.
Through three go-rounds of this yearŌĆÖs championship, Paul David and Jess Tierney sit Nos. 2 and 3 in the average standings and trail just one man, Brazile, who has roped, tied and wrestled 15 head in 166.4 seconds. Paul David is second in 178.8, and Jess has scored 185.7. They are well ahead of the rest of the field: the fourth-place cowboy, Erich Rogers, is 212.3.
ŌĆ£Anybody here is capable of being 2-3 at any time,ŌĆØ Jess Tierney said. ŌĆ£If you get on top of the cattle, youŌĆÖve got to take advantage of them.ŌĆØ
Drawing good calves and steers makes a difference in this unique championship, in which each contestant must compete in heading, heeling, tie-down roping, steer wrestling and steer roping.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre trying to take advantage of a good situation,ŌĆØ he said.
They are, and so is Brazile, a 21-time PRCA world champion who also owns a record 12 all-around gold buckles. He also has had considerable success inside the Lazy E Arena.
ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs always been the gatekeeper around here,ŌĆØ Jess Tierney said. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs such a great cowboy. Even when IŌĆÖm competing against him, IŌĆÖm always watching him, trying to learn something. HeŌĆÖs the best.
ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs an inspiration just watching him.ŌĆØ
The Tierneys grew up with a pretty inspiring person in their father. When theyŌĆÖre at home in South Dakota, they practice all five disciplines that make up the Timed Event. Between that, working on the ranch and having a father who competed in the Lazy E Arena every March for so many years, they are tailor made for the rugged championship.
ŌĆ£Dad always tells us that youŌĆÖve got it one run at a time. YouŌĆÖve just got to look at what youŌĆÖre doing right then,ŌĆØ Jess Tierney said. ŌĆ£YouŌĆÖve just got to look at what youŌĆÖre doing right then. Based on that, weŌĆÖre staying steady and not trying to get ahead of ourselves much.ŌĆØ
AVERAGE LEADERS: 1. Trevor Brazile, 166.4; 2. Paul David Tierney, 178.8; 3. Jess Tierney, 185.7; 4. Erich Rogers, 212.3; 5. Josh Peek, 224.8; 6. Clay Smith, 241.7

GUTHRIE, Okla. ŌĆō Trevor Brazile owns eight of the 10 fastest go-rounds in the history of the Timed Event Championship of the World.
One of those came during the second go-round Friday night at the Lazy E Arena, where the Decatur, Texas, cowboy roped, tied and wrestled five cattle in 43.7 seconds, just two-tenths of a second off the record time he owns. It helped catapult the six-time Timed Event winner to the lead after the opening day with a 10-run cumulative time of 110.1 seconds.
ŌĆ£It feels good, but I donŌĆÖt mind steer roping being the last eventŌĆØ in a round, said Brazile, a 21-time Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association world champion who owns five steer roping gold buckles. ŌĆ£I feel like I can turn it up in steer roping if I had to. I just didnŌĆÖt want to do something to set myself up for failure, to be sure to look at the big picture as well as the round.ŌĆØ
He finished Friday nightŌĆÖs round with an 11.1-second steer roping run, which followed a solid 5.6 in steer wrestling, the one event thatŌĆÖs not his focus in ProRodeo. Brazile also owns world titles in tie-down roping and heading and has also qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in heeling, one of just two men in the sportŌĆÖs history to qualify for the finale in all four roping disciplines.
ŌĆ£This is one of the few events, with the exception of steer wrestling, that everything else is what I do at home,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£This is an event I get ready for every day year-round. I enjoy being well-rounded.ŌĆØ
It has showed. Nobody has won more Timed Event titles than Brazile, who first won the championship in 1998 when he was 21 years old. Now 38, he continues to prove why heŌĆÖs one of the greatest cowboys to have ever played the game, and this weekend, heŌĆÖs competing in a field that includes 19 other elite cowboys.
ŌĆ£I just want to thank the Lazy E and the McKinney family for putting up the money,ŌĆØ he said, referring to the $200,000 purse, of which half goes to the average champion. ŌĆ£They stepped up an event that was so good, but they caught it up to the times. There is a lot of competition this month, and they stepped up to the plate. I think the cowboys did as well. There are a lot of NFR qualifiers here now, and I just like to see that. I want to see the guys that are competing on the biggest stages to come do this, and thatŌĆÖs what itŌĆÖs enabled them to do.ŌĆØ
AVERAGE LEADERS: 1. Trevor Brazile, 110.1 seconds on 10 runs; 2. Jess Tierney, 118.6; 3. Paul David Tierney, 121.3; 4. Erich Rogers, 153; 5. Clay Smith, 158.6; 6. Josh Peek, 166.0.
ROUND 1: 1. Paul David Tierney, 63.7 seconds; 2. K.C. Jones, 64.6; 3. Dustin Bird, 64.7; 4. Jess Tierney, 64.8; 5. Trevor Brazile, 64.8; 6. Daniel Green, 76.0.
GUTHRIE, Okla. ŌĆō Paul David Tierney of Oral, S.D., is proving just why he is the reigning champion of the Timed Event Championship of the World.
On Friday afternoon, Tierney posted a 63.7-second opening round to take the early lead in the 2015 ŌĆ£Ironman of ProRodeoŌĆØ event. He leads a contingent of veterans, including three other past Timed Event winners: five-time titlist K.C. Jones is second with a 64.6, followed by Dustin Bird, 64.7; Jess Tierney, 64.8; six-time winner Trevor Brazile, 66.4; and three-time champ Daniel Green, 76.0.
ŌĆ£I just wanted to get out of the barrier and go out and make smooth runs,ŌĆØ Paul David Tierney said, meaning he wanted to avoid any penalties for breaking the barrier and not allowing the cattle an appropriate head start. ŌĆ£I almost accomplished it if I wouldnŌĆÖt have had my steer wrestling steer ball up on me.ŌĆØ
The top 20 timed-event contestants in ProRodeo are part of this elite field competing in one of the most challenging championships in the sport. They compete in heading, tie-down roping, heeling, steer wrestling and steer roping. In TierneyŌĆÖs run, the bulldogging steer did not fall flat as he needed to make a fast run. The animals are meant to be a test for the cowboyŌĆÖ skills.
ŌĆ£You donŌĆÖtŌĆÖ need to have pups out here,ŌĆØ said Tierney, who, like older brother Jess, is following in the footsteps of their hall-of-fame father, Paul Tierney, a four-time Timed Event titlist. ŌĆ£What helped is growing up doing all these events.
ŌĆ£Doing it all and having my dad to help me come here and do these events.ŌĆØ
Jess Tierney and Bird are the only two cowboys among the top six who donŌĆÖt own championships in this unique competition, but theyŌĆÖre bringing a good portion of experience into play. Jess Tierney is a four-time qualifier to the Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping, while Bird is a three-time heading qualifier to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
ŌĆ£A few things I couldŌĆÖve done better, but for the most part, itŌĆÖs going pretty decent,ŌĆØ said Bird of Cut Bank, Mont. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not easy; itŌĆÖs a lot of work. I prepared myself a lot better this year because I knew what to expect. I had some guys help me with some different areas I was not as strong in.ŌĆØ
ThatŌĆÖs important, especially if cowboys want to add their name to the prestigious list of champions.
1. Paul David Tierney, 63.7 seconds; 2. K.C. Jones, 64.6; 3. Dustin Bird, 64.7; 4. Jess Tierney, 64.8; 5. Trevor Brazile, 64.8; 6. Daniel Green, 76.0.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This story appears in the March edition of Women's Pro Rodeo News, the official publication of the WPRA. It is republished on this site with the approval of the WPRA.
By the time the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo begins March 25, Lindsay and Jesse Kruse will have welcomed their second child.
The baby was due the end of February, giving Mom about a month to have herself and Lenas Mijo Dulce ready for the national championship. Lindsay Kruse is ready for the opportunity.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm really excited to run at it this year,ŌĆØ said Kruse, married to Jesse, the 2009 world champion saddle bronc rider. ŌĆ£I like the new location, and it looks like they are making it a lot more enjoyable for the contestants. It has a bigger purse. I just hope to win some of that money theyŌĆÖve added this year.ŌĆØ
She maneuvered her way to the RNCFR in Kissimmee, Fla., by having an outstanding season in the Montana Circuit. Her pregnancy prevented Kruse from competing at the Ram Montana Circuit Finals Rodeo in mid-January.
ŌĆ£They let me have a medical exemption,ŌĆØ she said, noting that the exemption allowed her a shot at year-end awards. ŌĆ£I had a decent lead, about $5,000, but I couldnŌĆÖt defend myself.ŌĆØ
Instead, Carmel Wright won two go-rounds and placed in another to win the average in Great Falls, Mont. She pocketed more than $7,000 and passed Kruse. But by finishing second in the year-end race, Kruse will join Wright in Florida.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt mind the drive,ŌĆØ Kruse said, noting that the family will be part of the traveling posse. ŌĆ£We usually go to Texas this time of year.ŌĆØ
Her road trip is delayed a little, but she plans to have a pretty good partner in the mix. Harley is a 13-year-old sorrel gelding by Pobre Dulce and out of Lenas Country Bar. This marks KruseŌĆÖs sixth RNCFR qualification and HarleyŌĆÖs second.
ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs tough,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£He likes being on the road. He just likes to do it. His personality is better when youŌĆÖre on the road.
ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs kind of a quirky thing. He doesnŌĆÖt get along with many people. You definitely have to have a bond with him.ŌĆØ
ThatŌĆÖs a good thing for Kruse, who said she and Harley just clicked from the first day they got together.
ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs all cow-bred with no barrel breed in him,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs kind of odd-shaped, but heŌĆÖs pretty in his own way.ŌĆØ
It works, but so does the relationship between Sara Rose McDonald and her horse, Fame Fling N Bling, a 9-year-old roan mare she calls Bling. Like Kruse, McDonald finished as the year-end runner-up to Victoria Williams, who also won the average at the Ram Southeastern Circuit Finals Rodeo.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm excited to go there because itŌĆÖs close to home,ŌĆØ said McDonald of Brunswick, Ga., the Southeastern Circuit and WPRA Rookie of the Year. ŌĆ£I know itŌĆÖs a good rodeo, so I just want to make good runs.ŌĆØ
ThatŌĆÖs exactly what happened for Gretchen Benbenek last year. She took advantage of the tournament-style format and raced to the national championship last spring at the Lazy E Arena near Guthrie, Okla.
She placed fifth in the opening go-round and was solid on the second run on Shot of Firewater, a 12-year-old bay she calls Maverick. The speedster is by Firem Jet and out of Miss Willie Ada; MaverickŌĆÖs mom was BenbenekŌĆÖs primary mount before the gelding came into his own.
By finishing third in the two-round average, the tandem advanced to the RNCFRŌĆÖs semifinals, finishing second to Kassidy Dennison. Benbenek and Maverick excelled on their final run, picking up more than $13,000 and a $20,000 voucher for a new pickup.
ŌĆ£Other than the Prairie Circuit Finals, IŌĆÖve never been in the position to defend a title,ŌĆØ said Benbenek, the two-time reigning Prairie Circuit year-end champion from Aubrey, Texas. ŌĆ£I feel a little pressure about it, but itŌĆÖs a brand new arena that IŌĆÖve never been to.
ŌĆ£I just need to go in there hungry and wanting it and determined, then weŌĆÖll see how it goes.ŌĆØ
It helps that she has a good experience, albeit in OklahomaŌĆÖs red dirt and not in the shadow of Disney World.
ŌĆ£I think Florida has shown a lot of interest in rodeo lately, and it doesnŌĆÖt have any other big events there,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£I can already feel thereŌĆÖs a new level of excitement. IŌĆÖve never got to rodeo in Florida. I hear the facility is really nice, and I think it will be a good place for my horse in me.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs right there by Disney World, and IŌĆÖve got some family coming down so we can do something else while weŌĆÖre there.ŌĆØ
Her focus, though, is defending that national championship. Though the winter has been relatively slow for Benbenek, she has a lot of faith in Maverick.
ŌĆ£I like to give my horse a good break over the winter,ŌĆØ Benbenek said. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs been running good. WeŌĆÖve just been a little bit out of (the money). We havenŌĆÖt hit our stride.
ŌĆ£I go everywhere to win. I donŌĆÖt go to get second place or just show up. I have expectations of winning. I realize the competition there is going to be very tough, and winning is not an easy thing to do. As long as I feel like I can make the best run I can and as long as me and my horse are physically prepared, IŌĆÖll be happy with the outcome.ŌĆØ
ThatŌĆÖs the attitude of a proven winner.
ALVA, Okla. ŌĆō It takes just one word to describe the Northwestern Oklahoma State University womenŌĆÖs team performance this past weekend: Dominating.
The Rangers women posted 455 points to run away with the Garden City (Kan.) Community College rodeo title. Lauren Barnes of Buckeye, Ariz., won the all-around championship with 195 points, parlaying a second-place finish in goat-tying and a fourth-place run in barrel racing to take the crown.
But she was just one of six Northwestern women who were part of the championship round Sunday afternoon. She was joined on the leaderboard by goat-tier Laremi Allred of Kanarraville, Utah, who won the short-round and the two-run average title by two-tenths of a second over Barnes.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre pretty strong and pretty deep, so thatŌĆÖs beneficial for everyone involved,ŌĆØ said Allred, who transferred to Northwestern for the spring semester, making Garden City just her second Central Plains Region rodeo for the Rangers. ŌĆ£I like the school and the rodeo program we have here. We have some pretty good coaches and the opportunity to practice whenever we want.ŌĆØ
The proof was in the performance in the western Kansas community that was in the middle of a winter storm the week of the rodeo. Besides Allred and Barnes atop the goat-tying standings, Shayna Miller of Faith, S.D., finished third. Karley Kile, of Topeka, Kan., also was in the final round.
Barnes, who won the first round in barrel racing with a 13.79-second run, earned more points for the team by placing in the average. She was joined in the short round by Paige Winnett of Elmore City, Okla., who placed in both rounds and finished fifth in the two-run aggregate. Cassy Woodward of Dupree, S.D., placed in the final round.
ŌĆ£My goal this year is to be in the top three in goat tying and make the college finals,ŌĆØ Allred said. ŌĆ£If I can sneak in there in the breakaway (roping), that would be nice, too.ŌĆØ
Northwestern is well represented in the region standings, which the Rangers lead as a team. Miller is atop the goat-tying standings, followed by Barnes in third, Kile in sixth, Allred in eighth and Elli Jo Price in 12th.
For Allred, Garden City came together quite nicely, especially considering she was utilizing her brotherŌĆÖs steer wrestling horse to win the goat tying title. Her primary horse was injured in an vehicle wreck in which the truck and trailer rolled twice while en route from Utah to Alva to begin the semester.
ŌĆ£SheŌĆÖs still not healed yet,ŌĆØ Allred said, noting that the runs in Garden City were the first for the borrowed mount. ŌĆ£She worked pretty good, and IŌĆÖll probably keep hauling her.ŌĆØ
The Northwestern men had six cowboys compete in the championship round, led by tie-down roper Wade Perry of Lamont, Okla., who won the first round and finished second in the aggregate. Chase Lako of Hunter, N.D., placed sixth. Steer wrestler Laine Herl of Goodland, Kan., finished second in the first round and fell to third in the average, while Stephen Culling of Fort St. John, British Columbia, was third in the opening round and six in the average.
In team roping, header Dalton Richards of Hawkinsville, Ga., finished third in the average, roping with heeler Ben Whiddon of Southeastern Oklahoma State University, while Northwestern heeler Dustin Searcy of Mooreland, Okla., was the runner-up in the opening round while competing with Hunter Munsell of Western Oklahoma State College.
BAY CITY, Texas ŌĆō Many of the greatest cowboys and cowgirls in rodeo make their way to Bay City every March.
ItŌĆÖs all because of the Matagorda County Fair & Rodeo, set for 7 p.m. Thursday, March 5-Saturday, March 7, at the Matagorda County Fairgrounds. They know the opportunity is there each of the three nights to cash in and make the run of their dreams toward the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
Bay City also is the weekend home of many of the greatest animal athletes the game, thanks to the livestock from Pete CarrŌĆÖs Classic Pro Rodeo. This past December, 27 Carr horses and bulls were a big part of the NFR, a ProRodeo record the Carr firm has held each of the past two years.
ŌĆ£Pete Carr has the bucking horses and bulls that are unreal,ŌĆØ said bareback rider Clint Cannon, a four-time NFR qualifier from nearby Waller, Texas. ŌĆ£When I think about Pete Carr, I think about 90-point rides, rock ŌĆÖnŌĆÖ roll music and fans loving it.ŌĆØ
A year ago, there were several NFR animals that were part of the action at the Matagorda County Fair and Rodeo, including five of the six animals that guided cowboys to the pay window in bareback riding. Two, Sadies Gal and Utopia, made their first trips to Las Vegas this past December, kick-starting their outstanding campaigns in this southeast Texas community.
ŌĆ£Pete Carr puts on a great rodeo,ŌĆØ said Sage Kimzey, the 2014 world champion bull rider from Strong City, Okla. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm thankful he loves the sport of rodeo so much and wants it to be so great.ŌĆØ
Kimzey isnŌĆÖt the only world champion who follows the Carr herd around the country. Take two-time world champion Cody Wright of Milford, Utah, the reigning Bay City champion in saddle bronc riding. He matched moves with Deuces Wild to win the title last March.
Wright utilized that momentum to qualify for the NFR for the 12th straight year, but there were several finals qualifiers who are regular qualifiers to the finale.
ŌĆ£PeteŌĆÖs got an eye for horses, and heŌĆÖs surrounded himself with people who know what theyŌĆÖre talking about,ŌĆØ said saddle bronc rider Heith DeMoss, a six-time NFR from Heflin, La. ŌĆ£You want to go to PeteŌĆÖs rodeos, because youŌĆÖre going to get on something good.ŌĆØ
The Carr animals are a huge drawing card for contestants. That also is why fans want to be part of the Matagorda County Fair & Rodeo experience.
GUTHRIE, Okla. ŌĆō The incentives at the Timed Event Championship of the World are great for the worldŌĆÖs greatest cowboys.
From the challenges set forth through the rugged competition to the opportunity to play their game in one of the most storied arenas in rodeo, the annual championship is a destination for the elite timed-event contestants.
Add into the mix a first-time purse of $200,000 ŌĆō with $100,000 going to this yearŌĆÖs average winner ŌĆō and itŌĆÖs easy to see why 20 men who make up 39 combined gold buckles will be part of the 2015 Timed Event Championship of the World, set for noon and 7:30 p.m. Friday, noon and 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.
ŌĆ£Any time a cowboy can win more money, itŌĆÖs good,ŌĆØ said Daniel Green, a three-time champion from Oakdale, Calif. ŌĆ£The Timed Event is not an easy deal to win; itŌĆÖs really difficult. It takes so much that has to go right.
ŌĆ£My hatŌĆÖs off to the owners for boosting financial support for the event. Being as tough as it is and a World Championship event, it should pay in that range.ŌĆØ
The players compete in five go-rounds and must make runs in heading, tie-down roping, heeling, steer wrestling and steer roping in each. It is dubbed the ŌĆ£Ironman of ProRodeoŌĆØ because of its rugged nature. Spread over just three days, itŌĆÖs a test of talent, durability and endurance.
The field includes some of the brightest young stars in rodeo, including reigning champion Paul David Tierney of Oral, S.D., and the 2014 reserve champ, Clay Smith of Broken Bow, Okla.
TheyŌĆÖll test their talent against an amazing list of top cowboys, including Green; 27-time world champion Trevor Brazile of Decatur, Texas, who owns 21 Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association titles and a record six Timed Event crowns; five-time winner K.C. Jones of Burlington, Wyo.; two-time titlist Kyle Lockett of Visalia, Calif.; and 2010 champ Josh Peek of Pueblo, Colo.
This is the one event in ProRodeo where the greatest ropers will wrestle steers and where elite bulldoggers and a Linderman Award winner will test their other skills in an action-packed weekend of world-class talent.

The Pete Carr animal athletes were a major part of the big winning at the San Angelo Stock Show RodeoŌĆÖs Cinch Shootout on Saturday night.
Reigning PRCA Bareback Horse of the Year Dirty Jacket guided Jessy Davis to the winning 93-point ride. Spur Strap, a two-time selection to buck at the NFR, helped Jesse Wright to the saddle bronc riding title with an 87.
Meanwhile, Wes Stevenson finished second in bareback riding with a 92 on Good Time Charlie.
In the opening round, the top three bareback scores were all from Carr horses. Davis on Outa Sight and Stevenson on ScarletŌĆÖs Web both posted 90s, while Tanner Aus was third with an 87 on Fancy Free.
Wright won the first round in bronc riding with a 90-point ride on Big Tex, while Sam Spreadborough was fourth on Cool Runnings. In bull riding, Ty Wallace rode Hermes for 88.5 to finish first in the opening round. Josh Koschel placed second with an 86.5 on Rattler, while Trevor Kastner qualified for the final-four on time; he bucked off near the 8-second whistle.
TonightŌĆÖs championship round of the San Angelo (Texas) Stock Show will be a showcase of Pete Carr bucking stock.
The short go-round will begin at 7:30 p.m. Central time in the west Texas community and features the top 12 contestants from preliminary rounds. In the mix will be world champions and regular Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifiers.
Most of the roughstock cowboys will have an opportunity to win big money on Carr animals. In fact, there are 27 Carr horses and bulls. Of those, 15 have been selected to perform at the NFR.
There are some fantastic match-ups on tap, too, including:
Austin Foss-First Kiss
Brian Bain-Cool Change
Bobby Mote-Ladies Man
Bill Tutor-River Boat Annie
Tanner Aus-Betty Boop
Cody DeMoss-Gold Coast
Sam Spreadborough-Miss Congeniality
Cody Taton-Lori Darling

Lon Danley-Hokey Pokey
Dalan Duncan-Missing Parts
It should be a fantastic show.
MULVANE, Kan. ŌĆō In his first two decades on this earth, Sage Kimzey has made quite a name for himself in the world of bull riding.
He stamped his place in the sportŌĆÖs history last season, winning two world championships: He secured the Championship Bull Riding title in July, and then completed 2014 with the gold buckle in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.
ŌĆ£Those two championships, and being able to do it in my rookie year, just validated my career and what IŌĆÖve been able to do,ŌĆØ said Kimzey, 20, who will test his skills at the Kansas Star Chute Out, set for 8 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at the Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane. ŌĆ£It made me feel like all the work IŌĆÖve put in my whole life paid off.ŌĆØ
The young cowboy earned more than $400,000 last season between the CBR and the PRCA. He plans to add a little Kansas Star cash in late March.
ŌĆ£With the CBR, you get the most exciting event in rodeo with bull riding,ŌĆØ said Kimzey, of Strong City, Okla. ŌĆ£Rodeo is a true cowboy sport, and this will be an exciting two hours for everybody involved. ItŌĆÖs a fun event to be part of, so IŌĆÖm looking forward to it.ŌĆØ
He will be one of five world champions in the mix, joining CBR titlists Cole Echols, Josh Barentine and Clayton Foltyn and 2012 PRCA champ Cody Teel. They will be matched with some of the top bulls in the game, including some from Arkansas City, Kan.-based contractor Brad Vogele, the 2010 CBR Stock Contractor of the Year.
ŌĆ£YouŌĆÖll get to see the top 24 guys in the world and the top 24 bulls in the CBR matched up,ŌĆØ Kimzey said, who pointed to the opportunity to earn $20,000 in one night. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a great show.ŌĆØ
ItŌĆÖs a show that Kimzey plans to share with his family and friends, many of whom will make the trip to the Kansas Star Arena from western Oklahoma.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs always great to ride close to home,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£The Kansas Star is a great facility that puts on a great event. Hopefully all the fans and my family will get to come out and enjoy it.ŌĆØ
Tickets start at $17 and are available at the Kansas Star Arena Box Office or at www.KansasStarArena.com.
GUYMON, Okla. ŌĆō Troy Lerwill is a combination of things: athlete, daredevil and comedian.
It all comes together in the Oklahoma Panhandle the first weekend in May for the Pioneer Days Rodeo, set for 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 1; 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 2; and 2 p.m. Sunday, May 3, at Henry C. Hitch Pioneer Arena.
ŌĆ£Troy is one of the funniest guys out there, not just in rodeo,ŌĆØ said Pete Carr, owner of Pete Carr Pro Rodeo, a Dallas-based livestock firm that serves as the primary stock contractor in Guymon. ŌĆ£I try to get him as often as I can, because he brings a whole new dimension to each show. HeŌĆÖs the best entertainer in rodeo because of how he handles the crowd.
ŌĆ£Then you add his motorcycle act into the mix, and itŌĆÖs just over-the-top. Everybody wants to come back the next day just to see it again.ŌĆØ
The motorcycle act involves LerwillŌĆÖs alter-ego, ŌĆ£The Wild Child,ŌĆØ who jumps a Bloomer trailer and a Ram pickup in a showcase of comedy mixed with athleticism.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs funny every time I see it,ŌĆØ said Ken Stonceipher, the production manager for Pioneer Days Rodeo. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs just something magical in that entire act.ŌĆØ
ItŌĆÖs the magic that has been on display at Hitch Arena before. Fans in the Oklahoma Panhandle have been asking about LerwillŌĆÖs return, so the rodeo committee and Carr made sure he is part of this yearŌĆÖs showcase.
ŌĆ£For one, heŌĆÖs a great funnyman,ŌĆØ said Jesse James Kirby, one of the top saddle bronc riders in the country. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs also a great motorcyclist. He can do things on that motorbike that you canŌĆÖt even imagine people doing. ItŌĆÖs just really great, and heŌĆÖs a great entertainer.
ŌĆ£On top of that, Troy is just a good person to be around. You can tell heŌĆÖs doing something he enjoys doing. He puts on a show and makes it look good.ŌĆØ
That happens nationwide. Lerwill is one of the most celebrated acts in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. HeŌĆÖs been the barrelman at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo three times, has twice been named the Coors Man in the Can, and heŌĆÖs been named the PRCA Act of the Year six times.
All those awards are nice, but what makes Lerwill one of the most sought-after entertainers in rodeo is what he does in the arena ŌĆō in addition to his fantastic daredevil act, the Payson, Utah, man has the timing of a comedic genius.
It comes quite naturally to Lerwill, the son of a roper who grew up going to rodeos in Utah and Colorado with his father. Though he never competed, Troy Lerwill was hooked ŌĆ" even if it took a few years for him to realize it.
ŌĆ£I had a Shetland pony growing up, and I always like horses,ŌĆØ Lerwill said. ŌĆ£I roped with my dad when I was little, but I always wanted a motorcycle.ŌĆØ
His parents realized he was pretty good at maneuvering the machine and began taking him to desert races. By the time he was 12, Lerwill was excelling at motocross.
ŌĆ£It just evolved from there,ŌĆØ he said.
Racing was a big part of LerwillŌĆÖs life for a long time. But at age 24, Lerwill had begun riding mountain bikes through the Utah trails instead of the motorized ones over the quick jumps and turns of motocross. Through all that, he found a new rush: Bullfighting. The rodeo arena was drawing him back. He went to a bullfighting school, and a new career was born.
ŌĆ£I got my PRCA card in 1993,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£I started doing the comedy stuff in ŌĆÖ95.ŌĆØ
It didnŌĆÖt take long for Lerwill to step up his game. He has become one of the most sought-after acts in ProRodeo, and thereŌĆÖs good reason.
ŌĆ£People just love to watch Troy, because heŌĆÖs that good,ŌĆØ Carr said. ŌĆ£He can bring people to your rodeo to see what he can do; thatŌĆÖs a true entertainer.ŌĆØ
For Lerwill, life is about reaching out to people and sharing his passion for the rodeo way of life. He may go about it in different terms than most cowboys, but there is a distinct passion involved in everything he does.
ŌĆ£I really donŌĆÖt want the Western heritage and lifestyle, and the tradition of cowboy to go away, and I want young people to enjoy it like I did,ŌĆØ Lerwill said. ŌĆ£Rodeo is a huge chunk of our history.
ŌĆ£Even though I take a motorcycle to a rodeo and do a stunt, I hope it makes fans of people and they come back.ŌĆØ

Release Date:
March 1, 2008
By the late '70s, Mahogany Rush were no longer simply Mahogany Rush; they were billing themselves as Frank Marino Mahogany Rush, which was appropriate given that frontman Marino had done so much to shape the power trio's sound. Not only was Marino Mahogany Rush's lead singer and guitarist, he was also the person who wrote all of the songs on studio albums like 1972's Maxoom, 1974's Child of the Novelty, and 1975's Strange Universe. So when Tales of the Unexpected came out in 1979, none of Marino's admirers complained about seeing the name Frank Marino Mahogany Rush on the front cover. This is both a live album and a studio album; in its original vinyl LP configuration, Tales of the Unexpected (which was reissued on CD in early 2008) consisted of four studio recordings on side one and four live performances on side two. Back in 1979, some fans wondered why the band was offering more live recordings after having just provided a live LP for Columbia in 1978; perhaps that was Marino's way of addressing fans who complained that their live album should have been a two-LP set instead of a single LP. At any rate, Tales of the Unexpected has a lot going for it. The studio material, all of it solid, ranges from enjoyably psychedelic covers of the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood" and Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" to the funky "Sister Change" and the instrumental title track (which finds the hard rock/metal unit venturing into jazz fusion territory and indicates that Marino had been seriously checking out Chick Corea's Return to Forever and John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra). The live tracks, meanwhile, include ballsy, inspired performances of "Woman," "Down, Down, Down," "Door of Illusion," and "Bottom of the Barrel." Although not as essential as Strange Universe, Tales of the Unexpected was a respectable way for Marino and his colleagues to say goodbye to the '70s. Alex Henderson, Rovi

Demi Cup Bras
The Demi Bra is cut straight across the body, covering half of the bust and shelving the breasts. Demi literally means "half" in French, and Demi Bras represent this concept well; a Demi Bra is cut lower than a Full Cup, but provides more coverage than a Balconnet. Demi bras have wide set straps and are typically cut at a slight angle to enhance presentation and create an open neckline.

Product description
Sophie Cunningham writes a year in the city's life, a year that takes us from the heatwave that culminated on Black Saturday when temperatures soared to 47 degrees to the destructive deluge of a hailstorm. She walks through Melbourne's oldest suburb to its largest market, she goes to the footy and to the comedy festival, she talks publishing and learns how to use a letterpress. Along the way she journeys deep into her own recollections of the city she grew up in, and tells stories from its history: the theft of Picasso's Weeping Woman, the Hoddle Street massacre, William Barak's trek from Healesville, the Westgate Bridge Disaster, the high drama of the 1970 and 2009 AFL grand finals and the Market Murders of the sixties. She strolls by Melbourne's rivers and creeks while considering the history of the wetlands and river that sit at Melbourne's heart. She clambers through the drains that lie beneath. For it is water - the corralling of it, the excess of it, the squandering of it, the lack of it - that defi nes Melbourne's history, its present and its future. Like the book?

text: My Mamiya 645 Pro shoots horizontals when held normally, FWIW. It's easy enough to turn for verticals, at least with the winder grip which I also have. It's certainly big compared to my 35mm Pentaxes, but it handles easily and the lenses are superb. Can't compare them to 50 1.5 Sonnar though, as I've no experience with one of those.

Comments Thread For: Pacquaiao Prize Awaits Marquez-Alvarado Winner
By Jake Donovan - The worst thing you can ask a fighter if you are in search of an honest answer is what he plans to do with a win in his upcoming fight. The response most often offered will be that they are focused on nothing other than the fight in front of them, and that all bets are off until the outcome is decided.
Thats why fighters have promoters and managers so they can plan the next move. When they are in the mood, they can even talk about it as well.
So when Juan Manuel Marquez and Mike Alvarado insist that the only thing that matters right now is their head-on collision on May 17, we have to respect their response. After all, both fighters are coming off of a loss - Marquez dropping a close but clear decision to Tim Bradley, while Alvarado suffered a heartbreaking stoppage defeat in a Denver homecoming versus Ruslan Provodnikov.
Needless to say, a second straight loss could prove damaging to either boxer. A win, however, immediately puts that fighter back into the title mix. Given whats at stake in this fight, its a hell of a prize to claim to ignore until after the fight.
But at least their promoter is talking.
Well, I'm not the one fighting, quipped Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum, whose Top Rank company presents this weekends action at The Forum in Los Angeles. So, the first thing I did was talk to Manny Pacquiao, and he's up to fight the winner. [Click Here To Read More]

Marquez would be a god damn fool to fight Pacquiao again.
Pac was closing in on a TKO before he got careless.
Maybe he'd win a rematch, maybe not, but he will never beat Pacquiao in the world-shaking fashion he did in their fourth fight.
The fourth fight will be built around Pacquiao getting redemption. Theyll stack the cards against Marquez as best they can.
Marquez should retire.

SUGAR RAY ROBINSON fought "6 TIMES" JAKE LA MOTTA,in the past THE BEST FOUGHT THE BEST AND ALSO MANY TIMES,so MANNY vs JMM is ever a fight to watch...EVER!!! ALì' vs FRAZIER 3 is one of the best fight ever but obviously FLOYD's groupies don't like many fights between the best boxers because his "XYLOCAINE IDOL" doesn't fight THE BEST not even once!!!

Out stumping her new film "Accidents Happen" in Sydney (where the Andrew Lancaster-directed comedy was shot), screen vet Geena Davis mentioned she'd be interested in hearing more about the oft-rumoured "Beetlejuice" sequel.
Davis, who played one-half of the recently-departed Maitland outfit (Alec Baldwin playing her hubby), says she'd be definitely keen to tap into her, er, 'spiritual' side again.
"It's funny, [another journalist] just asked me about a sequel to Beetlejuice – which, though I haven't heard anything about it, might be interesting", Davis told me yesterday. "I would do that!".
"Thing is, do ghosts age?", asks Davis. "Wouldn't we be stuck in the age we were? Alec [Baldwin] and I would have to look as we did then – who knows, maybe we could? I better get in touch with Tim Burton".
A script titled "Beetlejuice goes Hawaiian", written by Jonathan Gems, was doing the rounds in the early '90s. It saw the Deetz family moving to Hawaii, where Charles (Jeffrey Jones) is developing a resort. Soon enough the twice-unlucky clan discover they're building on top of an old ancient Hawaiian Kahuna's burial ground. At that stage, Warner Bros had only approached Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder about reprising their roles from the original film.
The project never happened, but star Michael Keaton was as recently as 2005 suggesting he'd be keen to play 'The Ghost with the Most' again.
"At one point, I had the conversation with Tim, saying "I love this movie so much; I think there's one more in there somewhere", Keaton told JoBlo in a 2005 interview. "And we both talked about it, and I think there was a script written once years ago that wasn't quite it. I would consider that, yeah, a lot. I would seriously consider that."
A year later, Warner Premiere announced – via an international media release – that "Beetlejuice" was one of the many titles they were considering 'sequelizing' for home-video. That hasn't come to fruition – yet. And hopefully, it won't.It'd be a waste to go that route.
Look, there's surely potential out there for a big-screen follow-up to one of Tim Burton's biggest and best flicks? right!? Keaton's onboard, Davis is onboard, I'm sure Baldwin would do it… and if Burton won't direct, then maybe he'll produce? This could work Robinov – sleep on it.
Meantime, Davis tells What's Playing that we shouldn't hold our breath for the previously-announced "Long Kiss Goodnight 2".
"Sam Jackson and I really wanted to do a sequel", Davis says, but suggests the box-office for the first film wasn't big enough to warrant a follow-up.
