July 30, 2015 - Niki Terpstra won in Wallonie and the news from Westrozebeke. We look at Gianni Savio, smooth or dodgy character? and we review San Sebastián. Plus: New sponsor for Bretagne, van Garderen for la Vuelta, Johansson is World Bike Packing Champion and 77 year-old will ride down the Stelvio without bars and brakes.
Italy's Scapin Custom Carbon Ivor has been put through the paces and the results are very good. Refined finish work, a clean and easy build up with tube shapes and detail that push the boundaries of what a lot of people expect in "hand-made custom carbon", all offered with a Lifetime Warranty from a company with decades in the business.
The last pedal strokes took the Tour peloton across the Champs Élysées finish line on Sunday thus ending another French Grand Tour. Lee Rodgers has followed the ups and the downs of the battle for yellow and here is how he sums up the 2015 Tour de France in his unique style.
Find out more about lactate and how this incredible molecule plays many important roles in the body. Discover how you can use lactate as a preferential fuel source, how lactate may actually reduce acidity in tissues and even act as a 'signalling hormone' to drive training adaptations.
Roadside St.21: The rain fell heavily on the Champs Élesées on Sunday, but that didn't dampen Ed and Callum's enthusiasm to get their unique view on the final stage in Paris. Both of them spread themselves round the circuit for the best photos and catch-ups with the characters of the 2015 Tour de France. The big Paris finalé.
July 27, 2015 - The 2015 Tour de France is over, was it a vintage edition? We catch up with the last stages. Video, race reports, photos, results and rider quotes. We also have La Course by Le Tour, Tour of Wallonie and the GP Beeckman-De Caluwé Ninove. Plus Simon Spilak to stay at Katusha and a rider's eye-view of l'Alpe d'Huez.
Race Report: It looked like the heavy rain was going to dampen the final stage of the Tour de France into Paris, but in the end the sprinters had their day. The big German, André Greipel, held his sprint back to the last meters to swoop past Alexander Kristoff for the most important Paris sprint.
Book Review: The best books of all are about great climbs, the roads that hurt so much while providing unforgettable vistas and a sense of accomplishment. Into this category falls an unusual new book by Hank Barlow entitled "Switchbacks," with a hopeful indication of Vol. 1.
Roadside St.20: There's only one thing crazier than Alp d'Huez at the Tour de France - and that's the Dutch Corner on Alp d'Huez at the Tour de France. Ed & Callum were up the road, roadside, and inside the madness that is one of pro sport's maddest moments. Here's the full photo report.
Race Report: Thibaut Pinot claimed his second stage win at the Tour de France in the mythical Alpe d'Huez three years after his debut at Porrentruy. Pinot resisted to the return of Nairo Quintana who attacked Chris Froome just as he promised to do but the Kenyan-born rider kept an advantage of 1.12 over his arch-rival in the overall classification on the eve of the conclusive stage in Paris.

Roadside St.19: On such big day in the Alps, not all the action was on the roads... Ed Hood made a strategic move to the start village and caught up men who aren't afraid to speak their minds: photog John Pierce, & former pros Leon Van Bon, Tim Harris, Malcolm Elliott, Dag Otto Lauritzen.
Race Report: With an attack in the ascent to the col de la Croix-de-Fer, 59km before the finish at La Toussuire, defending champion Vincenzo Nibali made it up for his disillusion of the first week of the Tour de France as he bounced back to brilliantly win the Alpine queen stage. Chris Froome retained the yellow jersey ahead of the grand finale at l'Alpe d'Huez.
In-between eating mussels and drinking beer on the Tour de France rest day, Ed Hood managed to also get some work done. Mark Cavendish's right-hand-man in the sprints is Mark Renshaw, he's been a lead-out man and a sprinter in his own right. So here is the story from the pointy, fast end of the peloton.
Roadside Stage 18: Two days in the Alps down and two to go and, as can be expected, Ed and Callum had to go against the power of the law to sneak onto the Lacets de Montvernier climb to bring you exclusive photos. A crazy climb on a crazy day at the Tour de France. PEZ Roadside:
While the tv commentators do their best to convince us this Tour is an exciting race, Lee Rodgers offers a more sizeable does of reality as we're left to pretend the battle things not colored yellow actually mean something.
Race Report: A super-hard day in the Alps with seven categorized climbs: the long Glandon and the twisty Lacets de Montvernier. Bardet escaped into the early break and then left them on the climb of the Glandon to solo the last 40 kilometers to the line in Saint Jean de Maurienne. Two stage wins for the French this year!
July 23, 2015 - Has the stage to Pra Loup taken the chance of a Giro/Tour double form Alberto Contador? It is looking that way. All the action from the Tour with video, results and what the riders have to say. Plus Gilbert wins the GP Cerami and we preview La Course, Wallonie, the Arctic Race and contract news. All in EuroTrash.
Roadside Stage 17: The best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft a-gley.. and that's the same for Tour de France journalists if they want to drive over the Col d'Allos on stage 17. Never to be out done, Ed always has a 'Plan B' at his finger tips. Where there is a bike race there is a story to tell pictures to take.
Race Report: Simon Geschke took an exceptional win as he broke clear of the day long breakaway on the Col d'Allos to hold off a group of fast closing climbers. Van Garderen who was forced to abandon after overnight sickness and the GC guys once again played out a stalemate as Quintana was unable to gap Froome.

Currency Exchange
I am going to Germany for 2 weeks in 29 days. My bank, Wells Fargo, said that I can exchange my money for Euros before I go without them charging me. Is it best to do this before I get to Germany? If I use my Debit card at the ATM they will charge $5.00 and if I use it to purchase they charge 3% of transaction. If I exchange some money here in the states how much should I exchange? My aunt lives there and we will be staying with her and mainly eating at her place. We have plans to visit castles.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
The opportunities came few and far between for the Matadors, as Cal State Northridge (17-21, 4-5 Big West) fell to the Long Beach State Dirtbags (20-19, 10-3 Big West) 8-2 in the first game of a three-game series on Friday afternoon at Matador Field. After trailing 2-0 early, the Matadors were able to tie the game in the middle innings before a late charge by Long Beach State sealed the game.
Long Beach State got the scoring going in the top half of the second inning by scoring a pair of runs. After a leadoff single, an RBI double by Johnny Bekakis drove in a run. Bekakis scored later in the inning on an RBI single up the middle by Josh Guerra.
After being held without a hit through the first 5.1 innings, Kyle Attl finally broke up the no-hitter in the bottom of the fifth with a single through the left side. With two outs in the inning, Attl advanced to second on a passed ball and Ryan Raslowsky drew a walk.
Cal Vogelsang then followed with a two-run double down the left field line that plated both runners and tied the game at two runs apiece. Vogelsang also drew a walk and reached on an error in the game.
The Dirtbags regained the momentum, however, in the top of the sixth inning as they were able to score four runs to break open the game. With two outs, a three-run home run by Juan Avila capped off the Long Beach State rally.
Northridge had a chance to cut into the deficit in the bottom of the eighth inning but was unable to score a run. Miles Williams walked with two outs and Steven Keller doubled to put two runners in scoring position before a fly out ended the inning.
Long Beach State added a pair of insurance runs in the top of the ninth to close out the game.
Matt Anderson (4-2) pitched 5.0 innings and struck out two batters to earn the win and Matt Johnson tossed the final four innings to get his first save of the year for Long Beach State. Alex Muren (5-5) struck out two but allowed five earned runs in 5.1 innings to take the loss for Northridge.
Attl, Keller and Vogelsang accounted for the Northridge offense in terms of hits. Vogelsang, Attl and Williams all reached base on an error as well.
The series between the Matadors and Dirtbags will continue on Saturday, Apr. 28 at Matador Field. First pitch is scheduled 1 p.m.

I have had a WD Elements 1Tb Elements for 6 months now. A few days ago it did beep, beep, beep... And that was it! Something what happens to a lot of people, as you can read on the forums on the internet. And as most of them, I tried all the tricks and tips that several people provided, but no use. A lot of valuable date seemed to have vaporized into thin air. One last (at first sight crazy) advice I read here and there: freeze your harddisk! Not knowing what else to do, I put the harddisk (properly wrapped in plastic) in the freezer at -20°C for 12 hours. As I took it out and connected it to the pc, at first nothing happened, the beep-beep-beep was still there. But! After 15 minutes appr. the harddisk revived and all the data were readable. I read in articles that after a while, as the harddisk propably reaches the room temperature, it fails again, so I wrapped it in a plastic bag with frozen cool-elements. I managed to recover all of the data (400 Gb) and copy them to another harddisk (not from WD...)! Hurray! This worked for me, you never know it works for you.
I really doubt freezing the drive makes it work when it's broke. most likely if you'd had waited in the first place for those 15 minutes the drive might have come up. I'm not saying that the drive isn't damaged or defective, but it is possible that you might have some corrupted files that prevented the drive from initially being read.
Actually freezing does sometimes work.
beep beep beep sounds are usually bearing failure, so yeah sometimes freezer would help to get it moving, but its mainly luck its not really a technique to fix drives that stopped spinning.

For Students: What You Will See
Episode Descriptions:
Episode One
Episode Two
Episode Three
Episode Four
Episode Five
Episode Six
Episode Seven
Episode Eight
Episode Nine
Discussion Questions
Civil War Timeline
Civil War Biographies
The following questions, adapted from the original Civil War teaching materials, were designed to help teachers initiate a classroom discussion following each episode.
Episode One: The Cause (1861)
1) Consider the events leading, directly or indirectly, to the Civil War. Was slavery the main issue for the war's beginning? What were other contributing factors?
2) If slavery began in this country in 1619, why did it take 200 years for it to become such a divisive issue? What specific events helped to make slavery an issue of public debate? Why did white people in the South believe that their liberty required the continuation of slavery?
3) Do your students agree or disagree with Lincoln's idea that in a constitutional democracy no section of the nation is free to break away--that to attempt to leave is rebellion.
4) Why did the spirit of compromise which had helped the nation avoid civil war in earlier crises totally break down by 1860?
Episode Two: A Very Bloody Affair (1862)
1) Research the major battles that occurred during the first part of 1862. What were they? Why were they so significant?
2) Why is the Civil War often considered to be the first modern war? Research the technology of war at the time -- weapons, ships, transportation and medical practice. Why were the casualties of the war so terribly high?
3) Consider the quote from Frederick Douglass, "Any attempt now to separate the freedom of the slave from the victory of Government; any attempt to secure peace to the whites while leaving the blacks in chains will be labor lost." Discuss the meaning of the quotation. Could the war have ended without the freeing of the slaves?
Episode Three: Forever Free (1862)
1) Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant are known as the two great generals of the Civil War. What traits did they exhibit? What personality traits make a good leader?
2) What factors it difficult for Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation even though he was personally against slavery? Did he fear that freeing the slaves would mean the dissolution of the union?
3) Who were the abolitionists? Where and when did the movement begin? What were the risks of being part of the Underground Railroad?
Episode Four: Simply Murder (1862)
1) Why did the North have to resort to conscription in 1863? Do students believe the government should have the power of conscription? At what point can the state impose on your liberty in order to defend the nation?
2) What was the cause of the Richmond bread riots? Why was the South so harshly affected by inflation? When did the Confederates begin using their own currency?
3) Who were the "Copperheads"? What ideals did they stand for? How can a country in the midst of a civil war allow for freedom of expression?
Episode Five: The Universe of Battle (1863)
1) Why was the Battle of Gettysburg such an important northern victory? How did Lincoln view the victory? Who took responsibility for the Confederate defeat?
2) In what ways did women contribute to the war effort? How do women participate in war today? Have their roles changed? What issues did the Civil War feminists address?
3) The Shakers during the Civil War had been called the first conscientious objectors. What does this term mean? If the US issued a draft tomorrow, which students would consider themselves conscientious objectors? Would it make a difference what the war was about? Is war morally right at certain times and morally wrong at others?
Episode Six: Valley of the Shadow of Death (1864)
1) How did supplies reach troops during the Civil War? What types of supplies would troops need in order to fight a war? How did the Union blockades affect the flow of supplies into the South?
2) The Civil War often split families apart. Where do students think one's loyalty should lie-- with one's family or one's country?
3) Trace Sherman's advance through the South. Which major cities lay in his path? Why do some southerners, even today, consider him the greatest villain of the war?
Episode Seven: Most Hallowed Ground (1864)
1) Who was nominated by the Democratic Party for president in 1864? Why did Lincoln choose a Democrat for a running mate? What did it demonstrate about the Republicans' faith in Lincoln's popularity?
2) Why was Lincoln pressured to drop emancipation as a condition for peace with the South? What other factors were hurting Lincoln's chances for re-election?
3) What implications can be drawn from Lincoln's landslide victory?
4) What were conditions like at Andersonville Prison? Why are there prisoners taken during wartime? What obligations do captors have to their prisoners?
Episode Eight: War is All Hell (1865)
1) What was the significance, respectively, of the fall of Savannah, Charleston, and Richmond?
2) What was the importance of the Freedmen's Bureau?
3) Compare and contrast Lincoln's Gettysburg Address with his Second Inaugural Address. What is the theme of each? How do they differ?
Episode Nine: The Better Angels of Our Nature (1865)
1) Where did the phrase "reconstruction" come from? What were the purposes of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments?
2) What were the Jim Crow laws and how did they affect the lives of southern blacks? What did "separate but equal" mean?
3) Why do we commemorate wars? How is it important to a country and to its veterans?

In the finished bar, the needles are apparent, on the surface and throughout the thickness of the bar, and there may be some internal voids.
One composition, designated A, will now be given by way of example, using sodium lauryl sulphate as the main ingredient. This can be conveniently purchased under the trade mark EMPICOL (Albright & wilson) which comes in various grades, EMPICOL LXV being chosen for this example.
The Composition A is as follows:
______________________________________EMPICOL LXV 92.0%(Sodium Lauryl Sulphate)EMPILAN CDE 2.0%Fatty Acid Dialkylolamides (a hair conditioner)Water 3.0%POLYMER JR400 (Union Carbide) 2.0%(Union Carbide) (a hair conditioner)Polyquaternium 10D-Panthanol 0.3%(Roche Chemical Division (a hair conditioner)Hoffman La Roche)1% Solution in water, 0.2%U.S. Food, Drugs & CosmeticsYellow No 5Perfume 0.5%______________________________________
EMPICOL LXV is in needle form with the composition:
______________________________________Sodium Lauryl Sulphate 85.0%Unsulphated Matter 1.5%Sodium Sulphate 1.6%Sodium Chloride 1.0%______________________________________
Other suitable grades are EMPICOL LMV/T and EMPICOL LZX, in which the proportion of sodium lauryl sulphate in EMPICOL is 89% and 85% respectively.
Four further examples follow:
______________________________________ Examples 1 2 3 4______________________________________EMPICOL LXV 90.00 95.25 92.00 89.00(Sodium Lauryl Sulphate)Water 5.00 2.00 5.00 (see below)Propylene Glycol 1.25 2.00(Binding Agent)Almond Oil 2.00 2.00Ground Almond 2.00Dead Sea Salt 1.00Egg Powder 1.00Lemon Juice 2.00(providing required water)Lemon Peel Powder 5.00Crocin (dye) 0.50 0.50Chlorophyllin (dye) 0.3Perfume 0.50 0.20 1.00 0.50______________________________________
As will be understood from the foregoing, the active ingredient sodium lauryl sulphate forms only 85% of EMPICOL LXV. In Example 1, therefore, the percentage of sodium lauryl sulphate is 0.85×90=76.5%.
In each Example, bars may be made by first mixing the liquids and small quantity ingredients, and then pouring these on to the needles in a planetary mixer. When the needles are coated, which takes little time, predetermined quantities (e.g. 115 gm ) are compressed into bars at room temperature and 40-60 p.s.i. Preferabaly the bars are compacted into the eventual packaging, for example foil. They may be circular (21/2 inches in diameter ) in plan and oval in vertical section.
Vegetable oils such as henna extract, coconut oil or cocamide (ethanolamides of coconut oil) can be used: various alternative conditioners are available, as used in conventional shampoos. Essential oils can also be added. The water acts as a binder, and as in Examples 2 and 4, a glycol, here propylene glycol, can be added as an additional binding agent.
In the accompanying drawings,
FIG. 1 is a photograph of part of the outer surface of a solid detergent bar according to example 3 above, magnified about 6 times; and
FIG. 2 is a photograph of a bar broken apart to show the interior, magnified about 12 times.
As will be seen from the drawings, the needles are clearly visible both in the outside and on the interior.
The advantage of the solid shampoo composition of the present invention, over the usual liquid shampoos, is that there is no waste during use. Liquid shampoos run through the fingers and drip, whereas the solid shampoo of the present invention is very economical, just one wipe over wetted hair being sufficeient to provide a substantial lather. Tests have shown that a weight of shampoo in bar form gives more hair washes than the equivalent liquid, in normal use. Furthermore the distinctive appearance and texture of the shampoo tablet makes it readily recognisable and clearly distinguishable from a normal tablet of soap.

HBCU President: Students Hurt By Federal Loan Policy
By editor
Tighter lending standards for certain student loans have left many people looking for other ways to pay for school. Critics say historically black colleges and universities are hit particularly hard. Host Michel Martin speaks with David Wilson, President of Morgan State University, about the situation.

long time no see.
since berlin and italy with sergio (which was great) quite a few things have changed…
s. is not my friend anymore, after inviting himself to stay in my tiny room for a month without paying and preaching me on my financial situation… i moved out too.
i was working in a great branch of my restaurant, then matt for some reason stopped talking to me and sent me back to pasons green which is utter shit. im really hoping to get into another branch… or change a job.
i think i also have a bf now.. a polish little boy called adam. we'll see how it goes. we went on holiday together for 10days and it was brilliant. now he's away for 2weeks and not contacting me very often… so i dont know i dont know. im on a diet. im broke. and i stopped drinking for a while.
otherwise all is good, al is the same…
and my parents are coming on the 22nd of september…. challenging!
Being at home is not too bad this time. Of course we had a minor religion-related quarrel, but apart from that everything is relatively nice. Hopefully this won't change within next 3-4 days before I go to Berlin. Can't wait to go, to see my dear S. and the city I live rather close to, but have never visited. I've always been lazy. Always finding excuses for not doing things even though those excuses were very lame. I've just always been scared of things. And of my parents. Mostly.
Even now, when I'm almost 24yo, they think/want to think wherever I go I go with girls, I don't drink too much, don't smoke and never go back home alone, never too late at night. I have to give them the address or phone number.. I have to call or txt every day and report if I'm still alive. Sensible, yes, but how annoying!
no sex. no nick. no kebab.
fever and sore throat instead. and kebab has been ignoring me since… oh, i dont even remember. maybe not ignoring, but not talking to me. och whatever, i dont care.
cant wait to go to berlin! and for Vinitaly. ach, so much fun :)
nick is a prick.
all of a sudden, after 2month since we made out at that party he started talking to me last nite. talking very dirty. for about 2-3 hours. told me what he would do to me, how he wanted to fuck me, how hard he was and all that… and i kept it going. was quite interesting experience. i wouldn't think he was a guy capable of such things… especially with someone you know. well, kind of. we have a few mutual friends after all. there was even a skype video at some point. i couldn't see much, but whatever i've seen was conclusive enough.
and yes, id like to do it. he's a pretty boy. but he's a prick. i don't trust him. apparently we have appointment for sunday, tomorrow. no matter how much i want it i'm not gonna do it. i'm not a slut. i'm not a call girl.
if i go anywhere tomorrow it will be kebab..
oh well. so im not fascinated with my gad friends anymore. still love them, but dont feel upset they're gay. haha. that was a really short episode filled with other emotional imbalances of bigger and smaller kind.
now im back. done with all my exams and essays and im rather happy about my grades. except one… and i still dont understand why. but luckily this one shouldnt be take into account for my final grade.. they take only 2 best! good.
ive been up to everything and nothing in the meantime…. italy, london. few romances, random intercourses, millions of new people, no new real friends. new job that came to me itself. full of polish people and supermegapolishness, which i dont like much. i mean… job is ok, polishness not.
and i cant speak english anymore.. my accent is fluctuating from american (at best) to russian/turkish/no-accent (at worse times) and im getting well frustrated… need a british friend. asap.
2 hrs of sleep in 2 days isnt really all that much.
i keep spilling coffee barely able to hold the mug.
still spending 80% of my 'work' time looking at his pics. and the other one as well.
damn you pretty gay people. i wanna eat you.

The Owen County baseball team is coming off a busy week. The team took on Gallatin County and Williamstown April 15 and 16 before heading off to Lexington to play three tough teams in Tates Creek, Paul Dunbar and Ballard Memorial.
The Rebels got the week off to a good start by knocking off district rival Gallatin County.
The weather was cold but the Rebels continued their hot play by winning their fourth game in five tries 4-3 over the Wildcats.
The sun came out April 16 as the Rebels welcomed the Demons from Williamstown to Dunavent Field.
The 2009 track season has been a successful one for both the boys' and girls' teams.
So far this year, the boys have set seven school records while the girls have set eight new ones. Both teams took part last week in a pair of events – Shelby County High School on Thursday night and Grant County High School Saturday.
Both teams were at the Shelby County Invitational and both captured the team titles.
The boys got a strong performance from Clayton Cook, who set a school record with his fourth-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles.
The Owen County track teams took part in a pair of meets last week.
The first was at Walton before heading to Danville Friday for the All "A" Classic.
At the Walton-Verona Tri Meet, the Rebels competed against both Grant County and Walton.
A stormy week that began with a severe thunderstorm ended with sunshine and a win for the Owen County Lady Rebels.
Last week began with the team traveling to New Castle for a game with Henry County. Instead of playing softball, the two teams rode out a storm that included a funnel cloud that passed near the school. No damage was done and the team was able to return home safely.
The next day, the team saw another rainout as the game with Carroll County was postponed.
The game of football is largely an American sport. One would not think about playing the game in Australia. But for two Owen County High School students, that is exactly what they are going to get the chance to do.
Keith Arutoff and Tyler Williams both are going to Australia to represent Kentucky in the Down Under Bowl. The game is the largest American Football Championship Tournament held outside the United States. The games have been played since 1989.
It sure did not feel like spring for much of last week. It was, however, spring break in Owen County and with the break came some rest from playing games for much of the week.
The softball team was off all last week and was not scheduled to return to action until Monday when they traveled to Henry County.
The girls also were scheduled to host Carroll County last night before hosting Gallatin County Wednesday night in a make-up game from an earlier rainout.
Spring break ended Saturday for the Owen County track team. The boys and girls were back in action at the Walton-Verona Bearcat Open.
In the girls' 100-meter dash, Melina Bress raced to a 10th-place finish while Evyn White finished 14th.
The same two ran well in the 200-meter dash with White finishing 11th and Bress 15th.
In the 400-meter dash it was Danielle Hoop who finished fifth. Rachel Dauwe placed 23rd.
Hoop also ran well in the 800-meter run as she finished fifth and then placed second in the 1600-meter run.
Satterwhite Shamble celebrated its 10th anniversary – "A Tradition Unlike Any Other."
If you watch the Masters, you'll hear that catch phrase many times. There is a golf tournament in Owen County that is also a unique tradition. The Charlie Satterwhite Golf Shamble celebrated its 10th anniversary Saturday at Fairway Golf Course in Wheatley. The event benefits the Charlie Satterwhite Fund and Trust for Life, which promote organ donation. Part of the proceeds from the event supports the Owen County Senior Citizens Center.
After a rough start to the 2009 campaign, Owen County High School Baseball Coach Kevin Webster has to feel better about his team.
The Rebels headed into spring break riding a three-game winning streak.
Owen County began last week by traveling to Williamstown.
The Demons scored single runs in the third and fifth and maintained the 2-0 advantage heading into the seventh inning.
The Rebels rallied. Collin Gamble led off the inning with a single and was sacrificed to second by Denny O'Toole.
Spring break could not have come soon enough for the Owen County Lady Rebels.
The Lady Rebels entered last week riding a two-game winning streak. That streak turned into a losing streak as the team dropped four straight games.
Owen County opened up the week with a home game against district rival Henry County. The Lady Wildcats shut down the Lady Rebels offensively and were able to come up with enough big hits to win 7-0.

Demand for rental properties still high
Posted: October 06, 2012|
It's good news for landlords, as continued demand for rented property, has led to rising rents and falling arrears, a trend which seems set to hold in the coming months.
According to a national study from LSL Property services, rents climbed consistently across the country throughout spring and summer, to average at around £730 per month, while the number of people in arrears with their rent fell in August for the first time in three months.
Although the average rent in Leicester remains lower, at between £550 and £600 a month, local agents agree that the market is upbeat, boosted by further demand from graduates and those starting new jobs.
Demand for rental properties remains high thanks to the fact that many people still cannot afford a deposit, meaning that rental homes' monthly prices will remain under upward pressure in the coming months.
But property experts warn against landlords forcing rental prices high to follow what remains an uncertain market, since having reliable and good tenants in a property can be just as valuable as a high rent.
Adrian Wray, Director at Bradgate Lettings and ARLA (Association of Rental Letting Agents) regional representative, agreed rents in Leicestershire were beginning to creep up, rising between two and eight per cent since the start of the year.
"Rents hardly rose at all last year, but demand has grown and there are signs that the economy is improving. We are beginning to see some new buy to let landlords entering the market, which could be a glimmer of better times ahead.
"However, landlords would be well advised to stick with a reasonable rent in order to keep their tenant long term and avoid empty rate liability.
Scott Cave, Manager of Barkers' Braunstone Gate branch, said demand was continuing to grow for rented property, with rents rising by three to four per cent over the past year.
"What we are finding is a lot of salary rich but cash poor tenants, who in the past would have been first time buyers, but who are now having to rent and are pushing up demand.
"Having a reasonable salary they can afford to pay rent without worrying about getting into arrears.
"The fact that salaries are not rising, but fuel and food costs are mean that while rents are going up slightly they won't get out of hand," added Mr Cave.
"Sensible landlords realize that having a good tenant is key and they want them to stay."
David Lawrenson, private rented sector expert at Letting Focus said a good way to hang on to tenants is to stay just below the market average, thereby showing tenants the benefits they are getting from living at your property.
"Landlords want to keep good tenants rather than go through the cost and expense of getting new ones who may not be as good. Once you have someone you know, you want to hold on to them."

I, on the other hand, do move with alacrity when someone points out such an error. Thank you. --Jim Ewinger
Experimentation on zoo animals is illegal. Kitra lives with three blood relatives, including her father. The zoo wanted to prevent in-breeding and the great apes generally respond to many pharmaceuticals the same as humans do. Some drugs used to treat human heart disease also are used on gorillas, for example.
--James Ewinger
Thanks for asking.
Fiscal emergency is the most severe. No. 2 is fiscal watch. Until September, when the law changed, emergency and watch were the only steps. Now caution is an option for the auditors, falling below emergency and watch in severity.
--James Ewinger
The story was assigned to me, to examine whether or not South Euclid was at risk of a large judgement or settlement such as Mayfield Heights had to pay several years ago after a 14-year fight between a develope and that city. We found that zoning can still be challenged in court, whether passed by city council or referendum. The key words there are "can be," because such a challenge, in the form of a lawsuit by the developer does not mean the court will go his way. We also found that if such a suit succeeded, it is unlikely South Euclid would have to pay millions of dollars the way Mayfield Heights did. What triggered the story assignment was a remark by the developer to another Plain Dealer reporter, in August, when he said he was considereing going ahead with the development at the time, and would view the zoning as grandfathered in if the commercial zoning were repealed. He has since decided not to start, but has given no indication of what he would do after the election. Given his August statement to my colleague, the editors were curious about the scope of his options in light of past zoing cases.
Thanks for pointing out the correct chronology. First Interstate acquired the South Euclid parcel in December when it was zoned residential, and City Council zoned it commerical this summer. But, though the developer has chosen to wait for the vote, there is nothing to stop First Interstate from starting now. Further, if voters repeal the commerical zoning, the developer could still go to court in an effort to resintate the commercial designation.
CV-92-229140 is the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas case number. It is captioned Michael A Shemo Co Trustee et al vs. Mayfield Heights. Our most comprehensive story was published 12/7/2003, and an 8/4/2006 story covered the $3 million settlement in the developers' favor.
Actually, that's not what I wrote. He could sue, and if successful, the probable result would be for a court to reinstate the commercial zoning designaton. The unlikley reslt would be a court decision that South Euclid would have to pay millions of dollars the way Mayfield Heights after it preempted a development.
We had a reporter on site at the May 25 city council meeting who observed the dialogue between citizens and council members. Though I have not looked, the sign-in sheets -- public records -- are still avaialble and, I am told, show that most of the people speaking against Oakwood Commons were from Cleveland Heights, while most of the supporters were South Euclid residents.
I'll take the word of my colleagure, but if you would care to check those records and find that I am in error, please alert me.
Construction was done by a local firm. Design was by an out-of-town firm with established expertise in zoo exhibits. --Jim Ewinger
Hegel, I'm a Plain Dealer reporter trying to reach union representatives for state corrections officers for a story that has nothing to do with McCafferty. If you'd care to email me, I'll tell you what the story concerns. I am at firstname.lastname@example.com. Or my direct line is 216 999-3905. I'm at the office today, but in and out.
Thank you,

Thanks for commenting, but a few points of information. The National Zoo's Elephant Trails exhibit and the Metroparks' African Elephant Crossing were both begun in 2008. The National Zoo's project is scheduled for completion in 2013; the one here is set to open in two months. The Metroparks' 5-acre exhibit cost $25 million, half covered by the Cleveland Zoologicial Society. The National Zoo's 4-acre project is expected to cost an estimated $52 million, some covered by federal grants and some by donations.
As to the veterinary hosptial here, it cost close to $9 million and half of that came from direct gifts or from the Zoological Society. Though not a formal exhibit, parts of it are open to the public.
You are right about the improbability of the Metroparks Zoo recalling the giraffes born there. Most accredited zoos don't buy and sell very many animals; they lend, borrow, swap or give and receive -- the idea being that they don't want to create a market for exotic animals. Likewise, the Omaha Zoo admits there's a reasonable chance that Shenga might stay here.
--James Ewinger
Dave, I've known you for a long time, and you know well enough that I have a great deal of respect for your work -- and have said so publicly. I also respect your right to your opinion. But ours differ on Dorothy Fuldheim and "pithy" is not a term I would apply during the time I was exposed to her commentary. As far as Paisley and Parsley are concerned, the episode itself is a mere footnote. However, I was, in effect, called a liar in a piece that was not even written by the person who purportedly wrote it -- a rather intriguing and ironic use of an anchorman to front for someone else's work.
But you did not write that, and if you care to hold this discussion to Dorothy's opinions, my complaint is that she was one of only six Cleveland broadcasters paid in 6 figures in the early 1980's, and the commentary I heard from her was, at best, what you could get in any neighborhood tavern for free. I consider that a waste of resources, and a waste of valuable air time.
Hope you are doing well,
--Jim Ewinger
To Ted Henry and Lee Bailey:
Let's start with the fact that J. Lee Bailey, formerly of WEWS, WKYC, the Illuminating Co and Centerior Energy, wrote all or most of the guest column defending Dorothy Fuldheim and attributed to Ted Henry.
That said, I am certain that all 49 signatories knew her, loved and admired her, and maintain a high opinion of her to this day. Therefore, the guest column accurately reflects their sentiments and views – which, incidentally, are shared by many people.
They may only shape and choose their opinions as they see fit, but not their facts.
For the record, I reported the "Rev. Ian Parsley" episode in 1981 during my brief tenure as a TV critic. As memory serves, the gaffe came while Dorothy Fuldheim was at the anchor desk in studio, either commenting on her trip or setting up some video. Of course the field team that accompanied her to Northern Ireland - which Mr. Bailey cites - would have no memory of it. It did not happen with them.
It was also around the time, quite possibly as a result of this incident, that I learned the station no longer let Fuldheim do her commentaries live. She sat at the anchor desk for the opening shot with the anchor team. Her commentary that would air later in the show was taped earlier in the day while she was wearing the same clothes. The station did this because it could not control her. That's why I thought it all the more inexcusable for them not to re-tape the segment.
At the time, I criticized Channel 5 for staging what amounted to a cheap publicity stunt on the back of a frail old woman by sending her to Northern Ireland. Her work began appearing on air and in the Cleveland Press just as the May sweeps were dawning that year.
No one from Channel 5 challenged a single fact that I stated on the Parsley episode in 1981, nor did they challenge or deny my assertion that she was taped. Had they been able to demonstrate that I was in error, they would not have hesitated – as indeed, they never hesitated to lobby this newspaper to have me removed from the critic's chair.
I stand by all of the work I have done at this newspaper during the past 33 years, which is one of the reasons I put my name on it. The other reason the name goes up there is because it's my work. Here we do not have a tradition of rip-and-read journalism and ghost writing – which is why we have always been local TV's greatest content provider, however uncredited we might be.
--James Ewinger
A locator map was generated for this story but failed to make it online when it was posted. We are tracking it down now. Sorry for the inconvenience. --Jim Ewinger
Great column, Mikey. I'm not a big baseball fan but have always felt there was something transcendent about it, something that elevated it above other sports and maybe even completely out of the realm of sports.
Then there's the fact that some of the best sports writing is on this very game, and Americans are sometimes no more poignant and poetic than when they comment on this game.
Actually, the orignal cost was to be $470,000 for the 62 acres -- about $7,500 an acre. The park system got $25,000 knocked off because it had to replace the cap on an abandoned oil well, and had to remove stockpiled utility poles. A $333,000 state grant covered most of the sale. The parks are to pay about $189,000 -- $111,000 for the land and $78,000 for the clean-up. Costs and avialble grant money will vary with each acquisition, and some are donated outright. In 2009, the parks paid out about $400,000 for land, but received the gift of $800,000 worth of land.
The Ohio Revised Code spells out that the probate judge -- or presiding probate judge in our case -- shall appoint the park board. That goes all the way back to 1917, when the enabling legislation was passed in Columbus. Not taking a position here, just stating a fact.
--Jim Ewinger
Just as a point of information, Vern Hartenburg was only 2 years older than Mr. Zimmerman when he was brought in from Minnesota.
--Jim Ewinger
Mr. or Ms. J.G.:
Thank you for your observation and the link. Though I looked at it, I had no need to, because I have no reason to doubt part of what you say.
But I must take issue with several points you made.
First, according to nalpdirectory, among SS&D associates here, more are women than men. Further, the directory has a narrower definition of diversity than I would apply, and you appear to have a narrower definition than the directory: As I mentioned, nalp says there are more women than men among the associates. It does not note religious preferences and ethnicity is broken into very broad categories.
The story said Mr. Lewis was instrumental in changing a culture that was a "white-male-gentile bastion."
He did that, on his own, and he did not have to.
Does that law firm, or any of the other large ones here, or most of the largest employers, mirror the diversity of Cleveland, or Cuyahoga County, or Ohio or the U.S.?
No, and no one is suggesting otherwise.
Jim Ewinger

The heart grows smarterNovember 07,2012If you go back and read a bunch of biographies of people born 100 to 150 years ago, you notice a few things that were more common then than now.
First, many more families suffered the loss of a child, which had a devastating and historically under-appreciated impact on their overall world views.
Second, and maybe related, many more children grew up in cold and emotionally distant homes, where fathers, in particular, barely knew their children and found it impossible to express their love for them.
It wasnt only parents who were emotionally diffident; it was the people who studied them. In 1938, a group of researchers began an intensive study of 268 students at Harvard University. The plan was to track them through their entire lives, measuring, testing and interviewing them every few years to see how lives develop.
In the 1930s and 1940s, the researchers didnt pay much attention to the mens relationships. Instead, following the intellectual fashions of the day, they paid a lot of attention to the mens physiognomy. Did they have a masculine body type? Did they show signs of vigorous genetic endowments?
But as this study the Grant Study progressed, the power of relationships became clear. The men who grew up in homes with warm parents were much more likely to become first lieutenants and majors in World War II. The men who grew up in cold, barren homes were much more likely to finish the war as privates.
Body type was useless as a predictor of how the men would fare in life. So was birth order or political affiliation. Even social class had a limited effect. But having a warm childhood was powerful. As George Vaillant, the study director, sums it up in Triumphs of Experience, his most recent summary of the research, It was the capacity for intimate relationships that predicted flourishing in all aspects of these mens lives.
Of the 31 men in the study incapable of establishing intimate bonds, only four are still alive. Of those who were better at forming relationships, more than a third are living.
Its not that the men who flourished had perfect childhoods. Rather, as Vaillant puts it, What goes right is more important than what goes wrong. The positive effect of one loving relative, mentor or friend can overwhelm the negative effects of the bad things that happen.
In case after case, the magic formula is capacity for intimacy combined with persistence, discipline, order and dependability. The men who could be affectionate about people and organized about things had very enjoyable lives.
But a childhood does not totally determine a life. The beauty of the Grant Study is that, as Vaillant emphasizes, it has followed its subjects for nine decades. The big finding is that you can teach an old dog new tricks. The men kept changing all the way through, even in their 80s and 90s.
One man in the study paid his way through Harvard by working as a psychiatric attendant. He slept from 6 p.m. to midnight. Worked the night shift at a hospital, then biked to class by 8 in the morning. After college, he tried his hand at theater. He did not succeed, and, at age 40, he saw himself as mediocre and without imagination. His middle years were professionally and maritally unhappy.
But, as he got older, he became less emotionally inhibited. In old age, he became a successful actor, playing roles like King Lear. He got married at 78. By 86, the only medicine he was taking was Viagra. He lived to 96.
Another subject grew up feeling that he didnt know either parent very well. At 19, he wrote, I dont find it easy to make friends. At 39, he wrote, I feel lonely, rootless and disoriented. At 50, he had basically given up trying to socialize and was trapped in an unhappy marriage.
But, as he aged, he changed. He became the president of his nursing home. He had girlfriends after the death of his first wife and then remarried. He didnt turn into a social butterfly, but life was better.
The men of the Grant Study frequently became more emotionally attuned as they aged, more adept at recognizing and expressing emotion. Part of the explanation is biological. People, especially men, become more aware of their emotions as they get older.
Part of this is probably historical. Over the past half-century or so, American culture has become more attuned to the power of relationships. Masculinity has changed, at least a bit.
The so-called Flynn Effect describes the rise in measured IQ scores over the decades. Perhaps we could invent something called the Grant Effect, on the improvement of mass emotional intelligence over the decades. This gradual change might be one of the greatest contributors to progress and well-being that weve experienced in our lifetimes.

makes a difference
this is really a good investment. no car rack alone is made to be aerodynamic, and they really dont help gas mileage. also, when you have skis, it directs air over your bindings a little, but thats not its main purpose. when i drive with the rack off, its really loud because of the wind so i know its helping when its on. its a goody buy

aurora gauges/autoloc/hoffman group
Rate this! (5.00)
September 29, 2009 10:24 PM - 3706 ViewsSince buying some items from the Hoffman group, I have had serious trouble. This outfit is located in Oregon and sells several different types of parts for street rods, tuner cars, and so on. Their customer service is really not very good. Some of the parts are junk and if you have a problem, you may very well get the run around. Some of the phone contact people from their customer service group flat out mislead, deceive, and tell whoppers. The Tech support is a joke. They have no clue about how to handle electronics in their gauges. You will be on your own if you use. I am basically stuck with some crap items, one of which is the gauges. These things are junk. They mount poorly, two in my group of six gauges don't work. And forget about the custom face plate crap. It makes a mess of the gauges by the time you get them mounted. If you are considering purchasing any of their stuff, contact me via this forum and I will explain what has happened. Consider yourself warned. I have it straight from the horses mouth that a large, well known street rod parts supplier (I won't give the name, but they are from Iowa, named after famous bear and NY Yankee catcher) was approached by Hoffman group to be a retailer. All the items supplied for testing did not work or were junk. I was told to basically stay away. It pays to stick with the reputable suppliers. By the way, the street rod place in Iowa was gracious enough to give me a great deal on some replacements for the junk from Hoffman/Auto Loc. Lesson learned.

September 30, 2009 07:45 AMcareful don. every time i say something about cheap junk peddled by 1-800-streetrod i get in trouble. we have good quality parts out there but we also have the marketers who just want to sell. just like insulation. lizardskin cost money so they decide to use roofing materials and such. nothing like the smell of fine leather and roofing tar there is no such thing as good cheap anything. the joy of those cheap fishy gauges sucks when half of them don't work.
September 30, 2009 07:58 AM
Yea and while we're on the subject,those gauges with the fish on them are also low quality.Replaced a few at my cost that quit,(they don't care to warranty them)the face color doesn't match and most of them are inaccurate.Gonna chuck the whole set into the garbage soon. How are the Dakota Digital gauges holding up?
September 30, 2009 08:08 AM
Nothing stinks like a dead fish and I have had them die right out of the box.
September 30, 2009 08:21 AMi use classic and dakota dig. love both. only had one problem with a dig gauge and they fixed it right away. great folks to deal with. what kills me is all the guys trying to cut corners and save a few bucks only to be stuck with junk later. i know it's hard to build on a budget but i would rather save a little longer and have quality stuff. rather than a car full of junk that did not work.
i have a man with a very nice car built by someone else ( hack ) who used that tar paper junk inside. one texas summer and they can not drive it with the windows up. not only that but the junk has melted to everything and is impossible to get rid of. think before you use some of this stuff.
September 30, 2009 09:25 AM
Know what yer talkin about re: the "tar paper" Shine.
Built a car 4 a guy about 4 years ago- he didn't want to spend the $$$$ on the right stuff, so he put the "tar paper" in him self. then had the car upholstered by a "High End" shop in leather.
Well after 2 very hot summers here in AZ, the interior is SHOT.
The car now is in another shop in So- Cal getting a new interior to the tune of over $14000.00
Read: Very labor intensive to get rid of all that tar paper sh*t once it's started to soften up and bond itself to the panels
Case in point--- To save $400 it cost him $8500 to throw away the first interior.
DUH -- When will people learn????
September 30, 2009 01:45 PM
They were selling stuff at the Notheast Nats here in Essex. While my wife was setting up the craft show I talked to the guy setting up there booth. He told me the show price on all products was to be 30% off. I thought fine there was some stuff I needed, Seat belts for the Buick. When the show opened I went to buy them. The other guy in the booth gave me there online price. When I asked about the show price he said it was'nt on seat belts. Hmmmm. When asked about some switches guess what, Not on them either. The thing that bothers me is they have a lot of other peoples products they sell so they can set the price. I tried to buy Julianos belts but I have to go though the Hoffman guys. I don't want to buy from just a few supplyers. Let the compition of the supplyers set the prices.
September 30, 2009 04:25 PM
I can't understamd why anyone would buy junk for their rod. Do some research and ask on this site for recommendations. Case in point- this year I bought a PRC radiator,Auto Meter Gauges, Ron Francis switches, MagnaFlow Mufflers, Billet Specialties components. Sure it cost some $$. But it's good stuff and any rodder would notice this on your car. This is NOT a cheap hobby,save your money till you get what you really want and don't be tempted to get anything less!!!
September 30, 2009 08:44 PMWhat is the stuff you're calling "tar paper"? Is it what we call "peel and stick" in construction? Peel and stick is an asphalt sheet of some sort that is self adhesive on the back side when you pull the protective backing off. This is the website for one of the typical ones.
http://www.sarnafil.ca/index/roofing/systems_rs/roofing-sarnafil/peel-and-stick_rs.htm It looks a lot like Dynamat. I've been considering using Lizard Skin, but have a few friends that were unhappy with the sound transfer quality of the Lizardskin product. I agree, nothing good comes cheap......just ask my construction customers :-)
September 30, 2009 10:02 PM
All you have to do is smell the difference between Sarnafil (or any other construction peel-n-stick material) and Dynamat and you'll know why one is for construction and the other is for cars. Like the guys said, the last thing you want is for your nice leather interior to smell like your next door neighbor's roof. There's a reason one is cheap and the other isn't. It's called off-gassing. Ya get what ya pay for!

October 01, 2009 08:16 AMthe problem is some guy thinks he has found the holy grail and reinvented the wheel . then post everywhere about it. no test, car wont be on the road for years but he swears paint and microsheres are the same as lizardskin. no telling how many guys fall for this just like roofing materials . take a gal of latex paint and put it in a 2 gal can then set if on a shelf for over a year. bet it wont be good when you open it. the lizardskin will stir right up. nothing ruins a hotrod faster than a cheap owner.

In the sepia-toned photos taken in the 1890s, the Missouri Training School for Boys looks like a cross between a Southern military college and a particularly nice insane asylum. Set amid rolling hills and embarrassingly lush orchards, the brick buildings imply restraint, discipline and order. In 1933, a MTS Plant and Needs report described them with a candor that comes only when capital improvements are being sought: "Most of them have good lines and from outside have a dignified and restful effect. Inside they are bleak, bare, unlivable."
That report probably won the buildings, at best, a paint job. But with the establishment of the Board of Training Schools in 1948, the institution's punitive tone did soften, at least in theory. Emphasis now fell on education -- which meant that troublemakers had to be plucked from the ranks. Alas, there were no alternative residences for "hardcore" juveniles, and under Missouri's indeterminate-sentence law, these kids had to be kept until they turned 21 or could be pronounced reformed. So the staff began deciding who the "incorrigibles" were, then shipping them off to adult prisons with neither charge nor hearing.
In 1967, four years after Joseph's group was transferred, reporters and legislators began to scrutinize MTS, which was then crowding nearly 600 children into a facility built for 350. "It's not a rehabilitation center like it should be," State Rep. E.J. "Lucky" Cantrell (D-Breckenridge Hills) told the St. Louis Globe-Democrat (July 22, 1967). Then he added, with unwitting irony, "I'd say it's almost as bad as if the kids were put in the state penitentiary."
Cantrell, who still lives in St. Louis (and who was himself convicted of embezzling union funds in 1990), says he was never told about the practice of transferring "incorrigibles" to adult institutions. Yet as chair of the House appropriations committee, he spent considerable time at MTS, bringing a fact-finding team to investigate disturbing reports about the school's operations. "A lot of the kitchen help were kids from the facility," he recalls, "and kitchen duty was punishment, so they would spike the food -- urinate in it, spit in it. The dormitories were overpopulated; they didn't have enough staff to properly discipline the kids; and their methods -- they'd put 'em on work details that were degrading, for an excessive amount of time, for some small infraction. It was ... chaotic. I also saw several kids whose problems seemed to be mental, not behavioral."
After photos of cots jammed 2 inches apart hit the newspapers, public officials began saying MTS should be replaced by smaller schools so that intensive counseling (the great new hope) could replace uselessly harsh punishment. "Courts are apparently using the institution only as a last resort," reported the St. Louis Globe-Democrat on Dec. 18, 1967, noting that in the preceding year, the average number of juveniles sent to MTS each month had dropped from 48 to 26. There had been no corresponding decline in the juvenile crime rate; instead, it had jumped 30 percent. But judges were refusing to send kids to Boonville. They complained about inadequate aftercare, and, indeed, MTS had only 12 placement officers to supervise 800 boys on parole. But W.E. Sears, the director of training schools, quickly pointed out that Boonville had no place to segregate the older troublemakers from the younger boys they were trying to rehabilitate.
For those "troublemakers," there were "adjustment units": 14 small, dingy cells -- no mattresses because the boys would tear them up, no ventilation to move the foul air. Two of these cells had no beds or bathrooms; they were reserved for youngsters "who go berserk," an officer told the Globe, whose reporter investigated further and found a 15-year-old who'd violated an institutional regulation locked in an adjustment unit simply because the other cells were filled.
Bureaucrats made noises about reform, but nothing much happened -- until one of the boys transferred from Boonville filed a lawsuit.
Back in April 1966, 14-year-old Frank Allen Boone had been found "delinquent by reason of petty larceny and trespass" and sent to Boonville. MTS records indicate that he was a "Negro." They also say that in late July, "as the boys were going downstairs to change clothes for church, Frank was involved in a fight." The school's Classification Committee promptly recommended that he be transferred, "should his aggressive and assaultive behavior continue." In September, Boone "created a disturbance in the dormitory after bedtime" and "threw pillows at the supervisor when another boy turned off the lights." The Classification Committee again recommended transfer, calling him the "ringleader" in "gang activities."
Despite the request, Boone stayed at MTS through the winter of 1967. Then a more serious incident was logged: A staff member said that some of the boys said Boone had tried to force them into sodomy. On Feb. 3, the committee voted unanimously to transfer him, saying "all efforts have failed" and insisting he be kept in restriction until he was transferred.
Boone was sent to Algoa, transferred to Moberly, transferred to the Missouri State Penitentiary. From there he wrote Phillip Fishman, then a 28-year-old lawyer with the St. Louis Legal Aid Society. Fishman opened the pencil-scrawled, misspelling-riddled letter -- and decided to take the case.

Multiple grade I winner Jeranimo is back to defend his title in the $200,000 San Gabriel Stakes (gr. IIT) Jan. 4 on the Santa Anita Park turf, one of two victories the gallant 8-year-old warrior earned last year.
Jeranimo, trained by Mike Pender for B.J. Wright and Robert LaPenta, makes his fourth start in the 1 1/8-mile San Gabriel. He ran second in 2012 and was victorious in the December 2010 renewal. Coming off a seventh-place finish in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (gr. IT) Nov. 2, a race in which he closed quite a bit of ground on the hillside turf course, the full son of Congaree heads an 11-horse field.
The San Gabriel is one of two grade II races on the Saturday card, sharing top billing with the $200,000 Santa Ynez Stakes (gr. II) for 3-year-old fillies at 6 1/2 furlongs on the main track. The San Gabriel is the eighth race on the program with a 4 p.m. PST scheduled post.
The versatile Jeranimo comes off a season in which he won two of seven starts and banked $293,964. His most recent win came four starts back in the Eddie Read Stakes (gr. IT) at Del Mar July 20, when ridden by Rafael Bejarano.
He will be reunited with Bejarano for the first time since then on Saturday while carrying top weight of 123 pounds. They drew post 9.
Jeranimo now has a lifetime record of 10-6-5 in 38 starts, with earnings of $1,401,364.
Another fixture on the Santa Anita turf in recent years is Phil Cunningham's British homebred Slim Shadey, a 6-year-old gelding who drew the rail in the San Gabriel for trainer Simon Callaghan. Winless in his past five starts, the son of Val Royal was given a breather following his most recent race, a sixth-place finish after setting the pace in the 1 1/4-mile John Henry Turf Championship (gr. IIT) at Santa Anita Sept. 29.
Four of Slim Shadey's five lifetime wins have come on the Santa Anita grass course, including a repeat victory in the San Marcos Stakes (gr. IIT) last February. Corey Nakatani will try his hand this time on the front-running lifetime earner of $623,064.
"We gave him a little break, saving him for this turf course, which seems to be his forte," the trainer said. "He's training well and this looks like an OK spot for him." Slim Shadey worked five furlongs on the main track Dec. 29 in :59 4/5.
An interesting contender is trainer Mark Tsagalakis' lightly raced Dubai You X Y Z, stepping up off a sharp allowance/optional claiming score at one mile on turf at Betfair Hollywood Park Dec. 6. M T Racing Stable's 7-year-old son of E Dubai has raced in just one stakes, finishing sixth in the 2012 Shoemaker Mile (gr. IT) behind Jeranimo at Hollywood Park.
But he has won six of his nine starts outside of stakes company and took his only other try at nine furlongs in March 2011. He appears to be in top form for Tsagalakis and will be ridden by Brice Blanc from gate 4.
David Heerensperger's Fire With Fire is winless from eight tries in graded company, but appears to be a solid fit as well for Hall of Fame trainer Neil Drysdale. A 6-year-old gelding by Distorted Humor , he comes off a third-place finish in the Berkeley Handicap (gr. III) at 1 1/16 miles on the Tapeta racing surface at Golden Gate Fields Nov. 29.
Fire With Fire finished fourth behind Slim Shadey in the San Marcos and followed that effort with a third in the San Luis Rey Stakes (gr. IIT) March 16 at Santa Anita. Martin Garcia picks up the mount.
Utopian, a 7-year-old horse by Rock Hard Ten, won the Inglewood Handicap (gr. IIIT) on the Hollywood Park grass in April 2012 but made just one start in 2013 for trainer John Shirreffs and owners Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Moss. He finished seventh in Santa Anita's restricted Lure Stakes Oct. 27.
