Rarely before in the annals of great Australian horse tales has there been movement at the station quite like this.
On a sultry Flemington afternoon, mighty Black Caviar made it 23 from 23 by winning a race now named in her honour, beating two stablemates and breaking a course record that had stood for nearly 30 years. The time was 55.42 seconds; never ask Black Caviar to wait a minute. Royal Ascot, her last and hairiest win, seemed far away and long ago, though not in the mind of jockey Luke Nolen. ''Didn't drop me hands on her today,'' he said, by way of half-challenge.
A crowd of more than 27,000 thrilled to the spectacle - according Black Caviar the now traditional smart phone salute - and racing diehards thrilled to the spectacle of a crowd in February. It was spring carnival without the clutter and coarseness. This is what Black Caviar has done; she has made racing a year-round carnival. In the crush of connections and emotions in the mounting yard, the laconic Queenslander in trainer Peter Moody re-emerged. ''Imagine having something this good, and sharing it with every bugger in Australia!'' he said.
This was the Black Caviar Lightning Stakes, but really, it was Black Caviar Flemington, Black Caviar time. Flemington sparkled in its florals, but also in the now famous salmon-and-black motif. Along the lawn wended an avenue of honour, each post what Caviar has made it, a winner. It acted as a reminder that no single win in the streak guaranteed another; all had to be won.
For the first, nearly four years ago, she had an apprentice jockey and started at $3. She has never been better than odds-on since.
Flemington had a plinth ready for win No.23. About any other horse, all these props would be tempting fate, but Black Caviar IS fate, and every other horse's fate; ask Moody, who said he thought runner-up Moment Of Change was an ''outstanding'' horse. Henceforth, second to Black Caviar is a bloodline in itself.
Black Caviar drew a crowd even to the stalls, prepared to sweat it out for a glimpse. In the breathless heat there, she seemed more agitated than usual. Her head lolled, her tail swished, but so did everyone else's, inwardly. She also seemed to KNOW. While other horses looked blankly and blinkered ahead, she turned frequently to the crowd, watching them watching her, and once veered playfully towards a television reporter.
Truth be told, there was in the Moody camp a hint of trepidation this day. Black Caviar's last start was her nearly-not-so-excellent English adventure in June last year. ''I said to my girls, I think it's the first time I've been nervous for a long time,'' he said. ''I suppose it's been seven months' wait.'' Ascot played on Nolen's mind, too.
But that was half a world and half a year away, and she was injured then. Since, two Black Caviar books have emerged, and, you imagine, film rights set in train. Her legend was burnished; now it was time to outstrip it. So she did.
Further truth be told, there is not much to be told about Black Caviar's races other than a plain truth. The course was flat and dead straight, so tactical intrigue was minimal. A worthy but acquiescent field jogged alongside her for a while and then trailed off. The ''sectionals'', so beloved of racing aficionados, rolled by under her hooves as if on rollers.
Nolen honoured what he has always said was his first and greatest obligation: he held on. ''I gave her a squeeze because I didn't want her becoming too complacent,'' he said. ''I copped too much of a kick in the arse for it at Ascot, so I just shook the reins a little bit and made sure she ran through to the line.'' The course broadcast was drowned out by the crescendo, but was superfluous anyway. The naked eye was plenty enough to behold history in all its splendour.
Black Caviar paraded briefly, then was whisked away for a wash and a watering. Moody, ever the racing man, went first to the jockeys and connections of the placegetters, for they were also his. But the cynosure was plain for all to see.
''You're on odds of a hiding to nothing to bring her back,'' he said. ''The job was done. We thought it was over. But to come back, do that and run a record, you know, crikey, I'm lost for words. I'm glad I'm sweating, or you might see a tear.''

Introduced in Dan Jenkins's previous uproarious novel of the pro golf tour, The Money-Whipped Steer-Job Three-Jack Give-Up Artist, Bobby Joe Grooves is now forty-four and still without a win in a major championship. A student of golf lore, Bobby Joe is well aware that only a small group of stars have ever won a major at his age or older, and among them are such immortals as Nicklaus, Boros, Irwin, and Trevino. It's now or never for Bobby Joe, and excuse him for thinking that his chances are slim and none.
So it's off to the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open, and the rest of the PGA Tour for Bobby Joe, who's leaving behind the prospect of a third ex-wife. On the golf courses he'll face familiar competitors such as Knut Thorssun and Cheetah Farmer, but the rival who may loom the largest is the game's newest child star, nineteen-year-old Scott Benson. His talents are the talk of the Tour—so is his arrogance—and so, by the way, is his stunning mom, Gwendolyn, a shapely, adorable woman who captures Bobby Joe's full attention and threatens not to let go.
Long revered by his peers as one of the world's best sportswriters, and beloved by readers for such classics as Semi-Tough and Dead Solid Perfect, Dan Jenkins is at the top of his form in Slim and None. It's packed with authentic insider gems about each of the majors and hilarious sketches of many of the characters—touring pros, officials, media, agents, caddies, and ladies—who inhabit this outrageous and endearing world of sports.

Chapter OneIt had to be the first bare navel on the Masters veranda. Luckily it came with a shapely adorable. Could have been a bulker. All in all, she was your basic tri-state crime-spree gorgeous. Make you try to eat corn through a chain-link fence, as Cary Grant or Fred Astaire used to say, or maybe it was Grady Don Maples.
Picture this: a long-haired brunette babe poured into a pair of low-hanging stretch jeans looking like the same thing as one of those halftime college showgirls. She stood between the two big trees on the veranda. Her tummy was flat as a West Texas fairway, and she was wearing the minimum legal requirement of a white knit top. This helped her display two tickets that would easily gain her admittance to the hospitality tent at any golf tournament she'd wish to attend.
I should add that she also wore a clubhouse badge for the Masters.
"Screen-saver," Jerry Grimes said alertly.
"Fire in both engines," Grady Don said.
"Riders up," I said.
I don't know that there'd been too many sights at Augusta to equal that one. Usually the veranda was a gathering of geezers in their green jackets, scads of privileged folks sitting at tables under bright umbrellas, scattered groups of serious business execs looking worried about something, and assorted media intellectuals shopping around for scoops and scandals.
As a rule, the serious business execs would be talking to each other, their hands clasped behind their backs while they rocked back and forth in their FootJoys. They could be equipment salesmen, they could be the dapper officials of various golf organizations, or they could be powerful sports agents, but if they were powerful sports agents their eyes would be darting this way and that, and they'd have a tendency to bite their nails.
Assorted wives of Tour pros frequently emerged from indoors-two lookers, say, and one bulker. They would have dined upstairs on the balcony, where they'd discussed maladies, child-rearing, exercise classes, difficult mothers-in-law, catalog orders.
Players' wives have changed over the years. I wasn't around when they were all needlepoint ladies, but I'd been around long enough to see the lookers go from stately former yearbook favorites to Barbie dolls that could actually make noises like human beings talking.
We'd walked up on the roped-off veranda after our Tuesday practice round. I'd smiled at the two security guards who were stationed there to keep out the K mart shoppers. That's when we spotted the shapely screen-saver displaying her finest features.
She was obviously at the magnolia joint for the first time. If she was trying to arouse any of the gentlemen on the veranda, she was making a mistake. Most of the veranda gentlemen were on the high side of sixty and were more likely to be aroused by the report of a new oversized driver that would give them fifteen more yards.
Jerry Grimes said, "It's too bad that lovely thing happens to be the asshole's mother, Bobby Joe."
"That's no mother," I said. "I know what mothers look like. Mothers look like Betty Crocker."
"They do?"
"Mothers look like Cheerios?"
"Detergent ... type of thing."
Grady Don Maples said, "I guess she don't crochet a lot, but she's still the asshole's mother."
"Which asshole?" I said. "I have choices."
"Scott Pritchard," Grady Don said. "That's old Gwendolyn Pritchard, it sure is. Scott's mom. Right there with her steel belly and her lung problem. Kill me first, Gwen."
"That's the child star's mother?"
I must have blurted it out. The dapper official of a golf organization glared at me. Guy in a dark blue blazer, white shirt, striped tie, red face. Looked like he knew for a fact that I ate with my hands.
Some hasty arithmetic was called for. Scott Pritchard was nineteen, our newest phenom on the Tour-there seemed to be one every year. He was six-three, muscled up, too handsome for his own good. He came out loaded with amateur titles, an average driving distance of 324 yards, a satchel of contracts too heavy to lift, and you could add the blank stare of a young Beverly Hills valet parker. His age meant the mom must have been a tap-in under forty, but she could play younger, as evidenced by this penetrating veranda moment.
"Scott Pritchard's a big kid," I said. "He must get his size from the lumberjack who knocked her up."
"It could have been a tight end," Jerry said.
"Naw, tight ends don't get laid by adorables," Grady Don said. "I was a tight end in college. Might as well be a defensive tackle. Scrap around with the meece."
We were interrupted by a media celeb. It was Irv Klar, a sports columnist for the Washington Post, as in D.C. I'd first known Irv as an aggressive young guy working for a small paper in California. He'd wanted to do a book with me. Me being the first golfer he'd ever met. I'd dusted him off. But since then, while my back was turned, he'd become a big-shot columnist and a best-selling author.
Irv's first bestseller was Speed Freaks: The Story of How the Nazis Invented Amphetamines to Win the '36 Olympics.
When it came out I'd seen Irv at a tournament and said, "Irv, I thought Jesse Owens won the Berlin Olympics, and the Nazis invented speed to keep their troops awake."
"That too," he said.
I'd read almost all the way through the first chapter.
Irv Klar had written two other bestsellers since. With time, I could remember the titles. He was always working on a new book.
Irv was wearing baggy shorts, frayed sneakers, faded knit shirt, and an old Brooklyn Dodgers baseball cap, to prove he was a man with a sense of history.
"Hey, guys," he said. "Who's your pick this week? I'm taking a poll for the column."
"Ben Hogan," I said.
"Ben Hogan?" Irv frowned. "Ben Hogan's dead."
"You're shitting me."
"You don't want to pick somebody serious?"
I said, "I'll stick with Hogan. Dead, he's already got me four back."
Irv said, "What about you two? Grady Don ... Jerry?"
Grady Don said, "I'll go with old dead Sam Snead."
Jerry said, "I'll take Jimmy Demaret. He's dead, too, isn't he?"
Irv had spunk. He said, "I thought y'all had to win something big before you got to be assholes?"
He walked away, shaking his head.
"It's on our list of things to do," I called after him.
We turned our attention back to the shapely, or I should say the chick-babe-mom, who was dolling up the veranda. She was now smoking a cigarette and accepting a drink from a waiter in a white jacket. The waiter had carried the drink on a tray from the outdoor bar that's under an overhang near the main clubhouse door.
"How come I haven't seen her before?" I asked.
"Because she didn't come out till Bay Hill," Jerry said. "You skipped Bay Hill and Doral, remember?"
"True," I said. "I stayed home to do something. Oh, I know what it was. Get divorced."
Gazing at the chick-babe-mom on the veranda I was reminded of the time I was taken prisoner by another showstopper in a pair of low-riding jeans and skimpy top. Only she'd been a blonde. But Alleene Simmons, my first wife, hadn't dressed like that on purpose. It had been required of her by the low-rent owner of the cafe-bar-singles-derelict joint where she'd been employed as the hostess when I met her. The bucktoothed owner, Bodobber Roberts, had long since gone indoors for bookmaking.
Bodobber's was mostly a hangout for gambling degenerates in those days. Guys in Fort Worth who'd bet on everything from ice hockey to bugs crawling up a wall to how many weekend traffic fatalities there'd be-city, county, state, nationwide.
Alleene won my heart the minute I walked in. Not only with her looks but with the first thing she said to me.
As she led me to a spot at the bar, I asked her what was good tonight, meaning what was good to eat. She said, "From everything I've heard, it's Oklahoma, give the six and a half."
Now at the magnolia joint, still looking at the babe, I said to my pals, "You know, your teen trash and your rock sluts flash skin like that, but a mature grownup woman ought to know better. I mean, she could have asked somebody how to dress when you go to the Masters. She must be dumber than dirt."
"Yeah, maybe," Grady Don said. "Of course, as I recall, you don't fuck the dumb."
Chapter TwoThis was the year the former Cheryl Haney sent me to Downtown Dump City. She joined my heavy-hitting ex-wife lineup as old number 3, falling in there behind Alleene Simmons, old number 1, and Terri Adams, old number 2. I do believe Alleene is the only one of my wives I ever really liked.
Cheryl kicked me out of the $950,000 house she'd made me buy two blocks from the Colonial Country Club because she said that after three years of trying to make a marriage work with an asshole who didn't aspire to do anything with his life but hit a golf ball, it wasn't worth the effort.
I found out I'd missed the cut in my own home the day I came back from a California tournament and found the note that said, "You-out! And I'm putting a sign in the yard that says 'No More Shit-Brains Need Apply for Husband Duties Here.' Now, asshole. Adios your butt and your golf clubs down the road. I don't fuck for food anymore."
What happened was, Cheryl had turned about half socialite on me. She'd decided I didn't measure up to the kind of husband she ought to be seen with. Her a successful businesswoman now who hobnobbed with other Fort Worth rich ladies who shopped in Dallas and supported the symphony and got their hair done all the time. Never mind that those rich ladies had once worked as law firm receptionists and department store salesgirls and had only become socialites because they married rich guys.
I smooth-talked my way out of having to move immediately and our split wasn't finalized until another social occasion. It was the night Cheryl dragged me downtown to the Bass Hall again to hear the Fort Worth Symphony play music for animals romping through the forest. Then afterward to the black-tie dinner party at the Fort Worth Club to discuss cellos with the city's culture lovers.
I was accused of humiliating and embarrassing her all evening by looking bored, yawning, and committing the sin of telling the conductor at the party how much I was in awe of his ability to read music while he waved his stick in the air.
I said I didn't see how anybody could read sheet music. Sheet music looked to me like my nine-iron and sand wedge trying to climb over fences.
"You're a disgusting fuckhead," Cheryl said, pushing me into a corner out of everybody's hearing. I countered by quoting from an old country song: "It wasn't God who made honky-tonk angels."
"You shit-heap!" she said viciously.
"Good," I said. "Fucks and shits. Now you sound like the chick I used to know ... the one who swam across the Trinity to get out of her old neighborhood and let me introduce her to a better way of life."
Which was a cruel thing to say. I didn't judge people by their neighborhoods. Well, some people, maybe. But Terri Adams, old number 2, had come from the wealthiest side of town, the west side, and I discovered she'd sport-fucked every happy hour sumbitch in Tarrant County before she got around to me.
Cheryl was like a lot of mercenary chicks in this world. Chicks who thought that because they were born good-looking, they deserved to be rich, it was what God intended, and they were determined to become rich, even if it meant marrying a pot-bellied, bald-headed A-rab.
Cheryl took up golf, same as my other wives, although it was hardly because she liked the game as much as Alleene and Terri did. It was a social move, part of her plan. So, divot by divot, she golfed her way into the heart of every well-to-do male member at one of my country clubs, Mira Vista, which I came to learn was Spanish for Take Another Man's Wife to Lunch.
If I'd been as smart as any of those Mozart cellos I would have seen what was happening. Seen Cheryl slipping back into the life she knew before me-that of breaking up homes for sport and pleasure.
Now I was sure that if she ever hooked onto a damage-proof wealthy gentleman who owned a yacht and knew where Sag Harbor was, she'd fall deeply in love overnight and truly believe she'd won the ball game.
One of the last things she said to me was, "Just so there's no mistake about it, I'm keeping the house and the BMW." "Naturally," I said, faking nonchalance. "Trinity River deal."
I must have hit a bull's-eye. I heard a medley of fucks and shits as I took my leave.
I was back living in a townhouse near the TCU campus. I was lonely, I confess-I'd had some good times with Cheryl when she wasn't giving me shit and spending with both hands-but I was happy to be unattached for the first time in a while. Which was evidently an attitude you could chalk up to being easily distracted by the Gwendolyn Pritchards of the world.

Author Dan Jenkins provides a follow-up to his earlier golf fiction work, ¿The Money-Whipped Steer-Job Three-Jack Give-Up Artist,¿ returning PGA golf professional Bobby Joe Grooves onto the Tour in ¿Slim and None.¿ Grooves is a forty-four year old tour pro who has the unpopular label of having yet to win a major championship and the clock is ticking. ¿Slim and None¿ follows Grooves on the tour and during his rounds at all four professional golf majors, giving the reader the behind the greens look at what life on the PGA tour is like. Jenkins utilizes his experience following the game, utilizing real-life nicknames, facts, and subbing several characters for current real-life golf personalities. Along with the names and faces, Jenkins provides real-life voices as well as profanities from several of those characters forcing some readers to wish they took a ¿mulligan¿ on their decision to pick up the book early on. Only a few golf professionals over the age of 44 have won a major championship, Jack Nicklaus, Hal Irwin and Lee Trevino to name the few, Grooves feels that he is destined to join them. More surprising to Grooves than the reader, is a romance that blooms between the golfer and a young rivals stunning mother along with trials and tribulations of any new relationship. With a rye sense of humor, Jenkins ensures his work is filled with laughs, including the reference to a new female-liberal, Augusta-hating feminist in the fictional Anne Marie Sprinkle doing battle with new fictional Augusta chair, K.S.¿Kisser¿ McConnell. Not to be lost is Jenkins¿ referral to fictional golf novelist, Irv Klar of the Washington Post, leading the reader to base his character on another well-known, often pretentious author with a much longer last name. While Grooves starts the fictional work lucky in love, he isn¿t regarding his golf game when a rules official makes a ruling sending Grooves into a fit, ruining his round along with his chance at the Masters Championship. The next chapter takes the reader and Grooves to the U.S. Open where another younger phenom takes to the links, a six-foot tall teenage long hitter in 15-year-old Tricia Hurt. In his second straight major, Grooves finds himself in a pinch with a rules official. This time, it is courtesy of a question by his partner for the final round, Hurt. Making another notable appearance to assess the damage was official Jarvis Phillip W. Burchcroft, again ruining Grooves¿ round and chances at a major. Jenkins confirms all of the lore and history of the British Open, along with the rumors of horrendous food, lodging as well as weather. Grooves once again is in contention before taking a turn for the worse and another memorable run-in with Burchcroft, who was attending as a guest official. Three majors, three missed opportunities for a title. Leading up to the final round in the U.S. Open, Grooves is paired with Scott Pritchard, leaving his competitors mother and his hiw own love interest, Gwendolyn, torn for who to cheer for more, son or new lover. Just as the rules gods seem prepared to strike Grooves again with a lightning bolt, our hero finds his latest heroine in Hurt. The ending is not surprising, but predictable for the books hero. The author of nine fictional works, including ¿Semi-Tough¿ and seven other non-fiction books along with his monthly column in ¿Golf Digest¿ Jenkins knows the game, the players and obviously, the rules. Jenkins provides an insight into the game, often overlooked or politely left unwritten about in ¿Slim and None.¿ The characters are amusing, colorful and realistic, but be warned that the language used may not make ¿Slim and None¿ the ideal 'gift for elder duffers.

Two vessels have been added to the five-year maintenance agreement that was signed between Wärtsilä, the marine industry's leading solutions and services provider, and US-based Prestige Cruise Holdings, Inc. (Prestige), the parent company of Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises. The agreement now covers eight vessels with a total of 35 Wärtsilä engines.
The tailor-made agreement that was signed in 2012 with Prestige is one of the most comprehensive yet for the cruise industry. The depth and scope of the agreement covers pro-active planning by both companies working in co-operation. It also involves dedicated teams from both parties, which will work closely together to ensure maximized lifetime, reduced operational costs and optimal performance of the Prestige fleet.
The broad scope of services that are provided under this agreement include maintenance planning, technical surveys, condition monitoring, spare parts supply, training and workshop services. This agreement ensures the certainty of Prestige's operations by transferring the responsibility for their vessels' maintenance to Wärtsilä. It also increases Prestige's financial predictability by covering maintenance planning and service with fixed prices.
"We have been very satisfied with our cooperation with Wärtsilä. Wärtsilä has displayed their ability to deliver the value that they promised in the agreement, providing us the peace of mind through risk sharing and a streamlined cost structure," says Robin Lindsay, Executive Vice President, Vessel Operations, Prestige Cruise Holdings.
"The purpose of maintenance agreements is to enable customers to focus on their core business. We are very pleased that Prestige sees the added value in this agreement with Wärtsilä and has chosen to add two more vessels," says Sean Carey, General Manager of Contract Management, Wärtsilä North America, Inc.

I've been told many times by my guests that this is the best salmon they have ever eaten. Given how nourishing this dish is and how fast it is to make, this is a total winner by all accounts.
Note: You can use any other fish as long as it's a fatty fish, always wild, never farm-raised.
2 lb wild (never farmed) salmon filet
4 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 lime (or lemon), use juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos if you are off soy)
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 bunch chopped red onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
grated rind of 1 lime (or lemon)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place salmon (skin down) in an oiled glass baking form.
3. Combine all ingredients and pour them over the salmon.
4. Cover with aluminum foil but don't let it touch the salmon.
5. Bake till salmon is just cooked (or it will get dry and hard), about 15 minutes.
6. Slice the salmon into individual portions and serve over buckwheat or brown rice.

Steven Senne, Associated Press
BOSTON — Eleanor McCullen clutches a baby's hat knit in pink and blue as she patrols a yellow semicircle painted on the sidewalk outside a Planned Parenthood health clinic on a frigid December morning with snow in the forecast.
The painted line marks 35 feet from the clinic's entrance and that's where the 77-year-old McCullen and all other abortion protesters and supporters must stay under a Massachusetts law that is being challenged at the U.S. Supreme Court as an unconstitutional infringement on free speech. Arguments are set for Wednesday.
Outside the line, McCullen and others are free to approach anyone with any message they wish. They risk arrest if they get closer to the door.
With her pleasant demeanor and grandmotherly mien, McCullen has become the new face of a decades-old fight between abortion opponents asserting their right to try to change the minds of women seeking abortions and abortion providers claiming that patients should be able to enter their facilities without being impeded or harassed.
In 2000, the Supreme Court upheld a different buffer zone in Colorado in a decision that some free speech advocates, who also support abortion rights, heavily criticized. Noted First Amendment lawyer Floyd Abrams recently called the decision in Hill v. Colorado "what may well be the most indefensible First Amendment ruling so far this century."
The three dissenters in that case — Justices Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas — remain on the court. They have been joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, who may be willing to provide the two additional votes in support of the protesters.
McCullen and other abortion opponents sued over the limits on their activities at Planned Parenthood health centers in Boston, Springfield and Worcester. At the latter two sites, the protesters say they have little chance of reaching patients arriving by car because they must stay 35 feet from the entrance to those buildings' parking lots.
Planned Parenthood provides health exams for women, cancer screenings, tests for sexually transmitted diseases, birth control and abortions at the clinic, although on this day Boston clinic employees said no abortions were performed.
McCullen doesn't know which services arriving patients are seeking, but she said that women arriving with someone else usually are about to have an abortion because they need a ride home.
Sometimes McCullen is able to start a conversation before a woman reaches the yellow line. Protesters can usually be close by when people emerge from taxicabs.
But when a couple approached from the opposite way, McCullen could only call out to them. "There's so much help available. Can we just talk for five minutes?" she said.
The man and woman showed no reaction and entered the clinic unimpeded.
"This is what we have to deal with," McCullen said, on the first of two days in mid-December on which she spoke with an Associated Press reporter outside the Planned Parenthood facility.
Planned Parenthood workers and state officials said that the buffer zone has reduced significantly the harassment of patients and clinic employees. Before the 35-foot zone went into effect in 2007, protesters could stand next to the entrance and force patients to squeeze by, said Marty Walz, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts. While in the state House, Walz was the lead sponsor of the law.
Walz said safety is paramount for patients and her staff. Other than Walz, people at the clinic refused to have their faces photographed because they fear anti-abortion activists would post the pictures online. Clinic director Cheryl Sacks said she is granted a special registration status for her car to keep the information private.

Liberace film Behind the Candelabra leads Golden Globe TV nominations with four nods
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I finally got to see the movie this week! Any one who can recall or wants to learn more about Liberace, can definitely have benefit from the insight if they experience this movie.
Douglas was awesome in his portrayal of Liberace. Once I was past the infatuation with how good Matt Damon looks, he impressed me with his delivering a likeable even loveable interpretation of Scott Thorson. The press or media were never quite as kind to him, but Damon for the most part makes one feel sympathetic to his feeling discarded and his downfall. Rob Lowe I barely recognized. Debbie Reynolds (initially) was barely recognized as Liberace's mother, so the cast do much credit to the characters they played.
The amount of "Glitz" almost makes it seem fake and pretentious, but pretend was what Liberace was good at!
It deserves the accolades, because of all involved. It was well done and a realistic representation of who and what Liberace was about both publicly and privately.
we know there are many homophobes in Hollywood -shame on them . great see that HBO produce 'gay' programmes thank you to them. I know the Queer as Folk (US version) is not for everyone but at least there producing programme – what do ITV and the BBC produce here for the LGBT community -nothing – by the way hope HBO make tons of money out of the film so make those in power at the Hollywood studio's look dumb with their homophobia
Randall replied I'm blown away that a student can get paid $4482 in one month on the internet. visit the site>>> FB39.COM
I hope it wins something. The standard of acting in the film is just incredible, with both Douglas and Damon putting in excellent and completely believable performances. I know the script is very much from Scott Thorson's point of view and LIberace can't exactly tell his side of the story, but the tale of casual manipulation and gradual increased dependency demanded by an ageing and lonely superstar towards his companions really does come across as authentic.
And yet, in the USA this is classed as a "TV movie". HBO really can show the big Hollywood studios how they should be making films if this is the standard they can produce.

I need a couple of recommendations for restaurants within a mile or so of the Devaney Center in Lincoln, NE.
Also, if someone familiar with the area could suggest a couple of good places to visit, I would appreciate it. We will be there on Friday and Saturday for an event that starts at 7 PM each evening.
We will have the whole day to visit any suggested attractions.

Restaurants in Lincoln NE
I need a couple of recommendations for restaurants within a mile or so of the Devaney Center in Lincoln, NE.

Let me rephrase my question because it is not getting respones.
Can someone direct me to a better than average American style restaurant anywhere in Lincoln, NE?
We will have a car, so getting around is only an average problem.
Report Abuse
Lazlo's Brewery and Grill would probably fit the bill. It is regarded by many as the best American restaurant in town. I think there are 2 locations now. Valentino's with several locations is not an American restaurant but does have great pizzas. Try the special (with ham, hamburger, pepperoni, sausage and mushroom)--you won't find anything like it anywhere else.

I lived in Lincoln almost 10 years ago, but there are some things I remember:
-visit the Capitol Bldg, it's really amazing, take the tour;
-there is a wonderful, small, Phillip Johnson-designed art museum on the UNL campus;
-there is, supposedly, a roller skating museum somewhere, although I never got to it;
-Pioneer Park: where the deer and the buffalo roam;
-you could take a daytrip to Omaha. There's a renovated warehouse section (the name of which unfortunately escapes me.)
-one of my favorite bars, ever, is/was O'Rourke's, on "O," street, the main drag;
-steak is big. try the aptly named Steakhouse on Cornhusker Hwy.
That's all I can come up with right now. I'll be back if I can think of anything else. (it's hard to beleive that I lived there 2 years and this is the best list I can manage!)
Report Abuse
I remember a good place called Jabrisco's. It is downtown by the Haymarket District. Not sure about directions but maybe you could do a search? They had a variety of foods.
Report Abuse
you might want to try their vistor's bureau
also, I forgot to mention that they have this rather unique fast food change called Runza's. The runza is an Eastern European (I forget which country) baked roll stuff with ground meat and onions. It's not a sit down meal, but definitely local chow worth trying.
Report Abuse
Hi from a native Nebraskan who's lived in Lincoln three different times in my life--in fact, our oldest child was born there--I think it's fate that I end up living in Lincoln again at some point!! Are you going for the spring football game? We are--we live 6 hours away but it's just not spring unless you go to the spring football game--ha! You have some good info from other posters. Lazlos in the Haymarket (blocks away from Memorial Stadium) is our total favorite restaurant in Lincoln. Jabrisco's is right next door to Lazlos and is (I believe) owned by the same people.
Visit the state capitol if you can--it's an amazing tourist attraction. If, by chance, you're of German-Russian descent, one of the world's foremost museum's on German-Russians is located on Ave. D, south of the capital. Nebraska is full of people of Russian-German descent (including me and it's a great way to spend an hour. Definitely eat at the Rock and Roll Runza near the University--not as good as the cabbage burgers my Grandma made, but a true Nebraska treat...get one made with cheese. The waitresses wear roller skates-it's lots of fun and the food is great. Misty's steakhouse in Havelock is the best in town--trust me. We LOVE Lincoln--let me know if you want any other tips. Have fun!

We will be in Lincoln 3 nights for the NCAA Gymnastics meet featuring UCLA, Stanford, Alabama, Georgia, Nebraska, Arizona State, Utah, Florida, LSU, Michigan, Auburn, and Iowa. Should be a super meet with UCLA the odds on favorite, but Alabama is the defending national champ. So we will have two days to look around the city - Friday and Saturday.
I will try to follow the suggestions here. They sound good to me.
So thanks to every one who took the time to respond.
Report Abuse
I'm curious--where are you staying? That might help in terms of what to recommend. Enjoy your stay--love gymnastics--sounds like fun.
Report Abuse
We are staying at a Best Western. I believe it is called the Best Western Villager, on O street. We will have a car.
Report Abuse
I looked for you at Lazlos on Friday night (LOL). Seriously, hope your trip was fun and you made it home safely. I love my home state but that six hour trip west from Lincoln is a snoozer every time. Too bad the interstate doesn't run through the gorgeous Sandhills...

I have a very simple app engine application serving 1.8Kb - 3.6Kb gzipped files stored in blobstore. A map from numeric file ID to blobkey is stored in the datastore and cached in memcache. The servlet implementation is trivial: a numeric file ID is received in the request; the blobkey is retrieved from memcache/datastore and the standard
BlobstoreService.serve(blobKey, resp) is invoked to serve the response. As expected the app logs show that response sizes always match the blobstore file size that was served.
I've been doing some focused volume testing and this has revealed that the outgoing bandwidth quota utilization is consistently reported to be roughly 2x what I expect given requests received. I've been doing runs of 100k requests at a time summing bytes received at the client, comparing this with the app logs and everything balances except for the outgoing bandwith quota utilization.
Any help in understanding how the outgoing bandwidth quota utilization is determined for the simple application I describe above? What am I missing or not accounting for? Why would it not tally with the totals shown for response sizes in the app logs?
[Update 2013.03.04: I abandoned the use of the blobstore and reverted back to storing the blobs directly in the datastore. The outgoing bandwidth utilization is now as exactly as expected. It appears that the 2x multiplier is somehow related to the use of the blobstore (but it remains inexplicable). I encountered several other problems with using the blobstore service; most problematic were the additional datastore reads and writes (which are related to the blobinfo and blobindex meta data managed in the datastore - and which is what I was originally trying to reduce by migrating my data to the blobstore). A particularly serious issue for me was this: https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=6849. I consider this a blobstore service memory leak; once you create a blob you can never delete the blob meta data in the datastore. I will be paying for this in perpetuity since I was foolish enough to run a 24 hr volume and performance test and now am unable to free the storage used during the test. It appears that the blobstore is currently only suitable for use in very specific scenarios (i.e. permanently static data). Objects with a great deal of churn or data that is frequently refreshed or altered should not be stored in the blobstore.]

No matter how much Walmart officials pander to liberals and their institutions, or how much they implement alternative energy gimmicks, or how much they earn fawning media attention for "corporate responsibility" and "sustainability" gestures, a giant segment of the political Left will still resent the retail giant.
In March NLPC reported that Duke Energy guaranteed a $10 million loan to the Democratic National Committee to host its 2012 convention in Charlotte, NC – the utility's hometown. Now Duke CEO James Rogers – who heads the fundraising effort as co-chair of the DNC host committee for the convention – is silent about how much money has been brought in so far.
General Motors has gotten much attention on its controversial Chevy Volt tax-subsidized vehicle. The hype for the Volt started over two years ago as GM was trying to put a positive face on the future green potential of a plug-in vehicle that was to be a game changer for the industry as Washington was lobbied for a taxpayer funded bailout. While the final verdict on the success of the Volt has not been reached, the initial performance is underwhelming; especially considering the amount of hype and marketing money (supplied by taxpayers) emanating from GM.
The New York Post today published an editorial titled "Greg Meeks - Again" regarding the allegations in our Complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on October 28.
Meeks apparently had not yet received a copy of the Complaint at the time he wrote a column published last week in the Queens (New York) Tribune. In the column, Meeks characterized us as "right wing" and (again) blamed us for his ethics problems. I can't wait to see his reaction to our new Complaint.
Cars in Depth reports that the Chevy Volt and it's charging station are suspected as possible causes for a house fire that started in the garage of a Mooresville, NC home. According to the report, investigators found a Volt plugged into a charging station located in the burned out garage. The Iredell County Fire Marshal's office investigating the fire states, "The charging station was in the known area of origin, but the cause of the fire has not been officially determined."
Back in April of this year I wrote about the covert bailout that was buried in the Obamacare bill which gives $5 billion of taxpayer money to unions, states (for public employees) and corporations for health care coverage for retirees aged between 55 and 64. The program is called the Early Retiree Reinsurance Program or ERRP. The UAW is the largest single beneficiary, receiving over 200 million dollars. General Motors also gets a piece of the pork with about a 20 million dollar cut. A recent report by the Washington Examiner identifies early retirees (many of whom are being paid over $100,000 a year in pension payments) of the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) as the other top recipient of about 200 million dollars.
If you were going to run a pilot project that deploys charging stations in a network to enhance the use of electric vehicles, what kind of establishments would you locate them at? Whose customers might be most interested in that amenity?
Certainly Starbucks comes to mind, as might sustainability-crazy Walmart – but how about Cracker Barrel?
"Jobs that Americans won't do" is a weak, if common rationale for high levels of immigration. Get set for an equally dubious idea to justify immigration: "housing that Americans can't buy." Senators Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, are believers. And they're offering a sweet deal. On Thursday, October 20, the two lawmakers unveiled legislation, the Visa Improvements to Stimulate International Tourism to the United States of America Act, or VISIT-USA Act (S.1746), one of whose elements would provide renewable three-year resident visas to foreign nationals who invest at least $500,000 in residential real estate here. The plan thus assumes both the need for a housing industry bailout and a large injection of foreign capital toward that end. Supporters should spend some time pondering the downside.
On October 28, NLPC filed a formal Complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), his campaign, and his "leadership" political action committee called Build America PAC.
The Complaint alleges that Stanford Financial Group made illegal, in-kind contributions to Meeks' campaign for a 2008 fundraiser in the Virgin Islands. The event was hosted by R. Allen Stanford, who is currently in prison awaiting trial for charges related to his multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme.
U.S. airlines are addicted to the concept of nickel-and-diming customers for each additional cost they can pass along, from baggage fees, to food, to fuel, to imperceptibly "better" seats.
But for some reason they are upset about a European Union plan to charge them for their carbon dioxide emissions on flights going to and from EU countries, despite the fact that all the U.S. carriers who have complained about the EU plan boast about their strategies to lower their "carbon footprint." USA Today reports that the scheme, beginning next year, could raise round-trip ticket prices to Europe by as much as $30.

UL Environment Establishes EPD Program
UL Environment is launching its own Environmental Product Declaration EPD Program to evaluate the environmental claims of products, which will provide documentation of an audited life cycle assessment of the environmental performance of a product, based on product category rules in accordance with ISO 14025 guidelines.
UL Environment's EPD program aims to provide structure and global scale for comparative cradle-to-grave assessments of products across multiple categories. Initial product categories that have expressed interest in this type of program include building products, lighting and textiles, according to the company.
The program development follows on the heels of a recent study conducted for UL Environment by sustainability consulting firm MindClick SGM which revealed that 90 percent of architects and designers have researched, specified or purchased green products in the past year.
"With more than 300 certifications and eco-labels on the market, determining which products are truly green is next to impossible. Our EPD service will add credibility and alleviate market confusion by helping purchasers make informed decisions," said Stephen Wenc, president of UL Environment.
According to their research, almost 75 percent of architects and designers sited the comprehensive evaluation of a product's environmental impact as being absolutely essential in specifying a green product.
The announcement follows an October 2010 approval as third-party certification body for the federal Energy Star energy efficiency program, as well as its publication of ULE ISR 100, setting standard requirements for environmentally preferable gypsum wall board and panels.
UL Environment is also working on an organization-wide sustainability standard.
UL Environment's other standards programs include Environmental Claims Validation (ECV), Sustainable Products Certification (SPC), Energy Efficiency Certification (EEC), and Environmental Product Declarations (EPD).

Brandon Flowers discusses LDS faith on 'The Colbert Report'
Rock band The Killers appeared on "The Colbert Report" on Oct. 18 to promote their new album "Battle Born," and before they performed, host Stephen Colbert sat down with lead singer Brandon Flowers and drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. for an interview.
Colbert began by saying he was a fan of the band and that presidential candidate Mitt Romney has mentioned he likes the group.
"He said you guys are on his iPod," Colbert said. "I mean that is a cool boost you cannot buy."
Flowers responded, "We feel like our music is for everybody. We don't want to keep it from anybody."
Colbert quickly recognized the opportunity and capitalized by saying, "Of course not. Like Romney, you're for 100 percent of America."
The interview then moved on to Flowers' religion.
"Now you've met him (Romney), right?" Colbert asked. Flowers and Vannucci both nodded their heads. "Now you are Mormon, correct?" Colbert asked Flowers. "OK," Colbert said, pausing before his next question. "Do all Mormons meet each other?"
Flowers, laughing, assured Colbert that doesn't happen. "There are about 14 million of us now," Flowers said. "So we haven't all met each other yet."
The topic then changed to the band's image of being "clean cut."
"Do you ever trash a hotel room and then clean it up again because you're so nice?" Colbert asked.
Flowers explained this his mom and other family members used to clean hotel rooms, and that has impacted him when staying in hotels. Vannucci also chimed in with his advice, "Always tip the maid," he said.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.0 /5 from 192 reviews
The staffs were nice and the room was very comfortable..
The hotel was good for the price. They had a shuttle service that takes you to the city of KK. The room was clean but the bathroom had mould in the shower which was not nice at all. We didnät eat the breakfast since it was not included in our room. We went onto KK and had breakfast there instead. Nothing much to do in the are right next to the hotel but it is quite and no disturbence.
A relatively small, simple hotel, with clean rooms, comfortable beds, and a great shower. We were on the 3rd floor so outside noise was minimal, and in a deluxe room, so very spacious. Their restaurant is fish-focussed, so as vegetarians, only thing we could eat was french fries. Breakfast was plentiful, but nothing special, with little fruit available. Free shuttle was good to have as it's too far to walk into the main part of town - but you do have to book it beforehand, and you need to plan it as it only goes 5 times a day, at 8, 9 & 10am then 4pm and 6pm. Alternatively, a cab costs $5. This hotel is excellent value for money.
I have no comment of this hotel. This hotel is very comfortable, clean..such a good hotel to stay in with reasonable price.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us
