Walker will be responsible for all technical and competition aspects of the racing operations for the open-wheel sanctioning body.
"We're pleased to welcome Derrick Walker to this vital role," Miles said. "We spoke with many of our constituents about an ideal person for this job, and Derrick's name emerged early and often.
"After speaking with many talented candidates, Derrick stood out because his decades of experience in North American open-wheel racing blend ownership and management for his own race teams and other teams. He understands how to balance the technical and financial operations of our sport, and his confident leadership will provide a firm, clear direction for long-term IndyCar operations and competition.
"So we made the decision that we really want to strengthen this organization. It's a good organization, but we've got a lot to do, and we decided to bring on the strongest horse we can find to help us with our technical and operations and racing, our product, really, and then separately to find additional leadership to help us with our commercial activities for IndyCar.
"And we sort of focused on the product first and talked to lots and lots of people. We had a number of great candidates who are interested in the job. And Derrick was one of the first I spoke to. You can't read his résumé and talk to folks about his lifetime of experience without immediately having great respect for his journey in open-wheel racing from being a mechanic to owning a team and having enormous success all along the way.
"So his experience is the first thing that strikes, struck me as I got to know Derrick. But then there's a lot about this person that I really like. He's straightforward; he's got great common sense. He's got the conviction of his principles and his — we know that he'll help make clear, firm decisions and have the strength of character to stick by them. And we've talked to a lot of people in the paddock. I know that Derrick's experience is well regarded as broadly as anybody's could be in the paddock. So we think there's a lot to do, and Derrick is the right man to lead us through it."
"I have had the opportunity to participate in the business of professional racing my entire life, and I have gained valuable experience from many different angles," Walker said. "Leading the operations and competition aspects of IndyCar is a perfect place to leverage my experiences and relationships to help ensure that IndyCar racing is exciting and engaging for our fans, that our drivers and owners are able to showcase their talents through our events, and that our technical partners are able to use our racing platform for innovation and development."
Walker said he wasn't originally considering working for the series, but a conversation with Miles changed his mind.
"I wasn't actually thinking about working for IndyCar at first until I was invited to go to a meeting with Mark and we were talking about IndyCar and what it represented and what over the years had happened to it," Walker said. "And so I shared with him some of my thoughts. Little did I know that I was actually being interviewed for a job. But a couple of meetings later, he finally showed his cards and he said, yes, would I be interested. And it was a resounding yes.
"I've obviously come from and am in the team mode. I'm from the team background – never have crossed over to the official side. So this is for me not only an opportunity, but a real challenge that I'm looking forward to.
"Obviously I've been around enough to see the good, the bad, and the ugly of the competition sports, but that doesn't deter me. I think I've had probably a good 20-odd, maybe more, 25 years of Indy car, which has really helped me a great deal, and I feel if I can give something back to the sport in whatever way that is, then I'd love that opportunity.
"So long story short, that, that's what brought me here, and I'm anxious to get started."

Jesse James cut off a large portion of his pinky finger on Tuesday, but he appears to be keeping his sense of humor intact.
"OOOpps, Bad day at the office," the 44-year-old ex-husband of Sandra Bullock wrote in a caption on a very gruesome photo of his severed finger he posted on Instagram.
Adding, "Headed 2 Surgery in a few #PayUpSucker @ University Medical Center."
PHOTOS: Celebrity Cheaters (Allegedly)
The reality TV/motorcycle guru wasn't sure if the severed portion of his finger could be saved.
"Doesn't look like this little dude's gonna make it, Nice know'n you little buddy," he wrote in another photo caption.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Dads & Their Adorable Little Ones!
As he was headed to surgery, he posted yet another photo (where he did not appear too fazed by the incident), writing, "Heading 2 surgery... "#jessejames #westcoastchoppers #StillMetal.
As of Wednesday morning, the fate of Jesse's pinky is unknown.
Jesse James' extremely graphic (like, horror film-graphic!) photos can be found linked on his Twitter page.

Just curious, what do quilters use sergers for?
lol Not 5 minutes ago I was wondering the same thing! Will be interested in what others say.Quote:

Some like to serge the sides of their quilt sandwiches, before adding binding.
Finishing the edges of quilted placemats, toppers, etc...
You can make a whole quilt with a serger, Nancy Zieman showed how on one of her programs :D:D:D
I use a serger to make quilt tops that I am going to use a duaval (cover ) for my down conforter. It stops the fraid seams and I can have a quilt top for the comforter. I use mine year round here in west texas. Use to put it away during the summer in Galveston but this weather here is crazy.
I also use the serger to do summer clothers for my grand daughters. Most of the sewing goes real quick on a serger. I have a Rex Overlock and I love it. It is easy to load too.
I use mine for kid's clothing and doing some quilts. They are great machines! I just got my new Brother Serger this week and have been serging all the edges of my quilting fabric before putting it in the wash. They are so worth the money!
I serger the edges before binding. I think the binding is easier to get on and wears better.
Lots of quilters do other sewing too. I have to hem all of my DH pants and it works great to leave a somewhat finished edge. IfQuote:

I know this is such a cliched parasol, but never the less I like it. It keeps the sun out, has a pretty floral design on top and for it's cheap price it's okay if it's delicate! Perfect for keeping the sun out of your eyes, or just for feeling pretty.

BMW Z3 2.8 Roadster (2nd detail)
I've heard the Ultra Deep Shine is also quite good..
SRP is ok and underrated, it's never going to be as a good as a machine polished finish, but will do a decent job of masking some defects, apply with a slightly damp applicator and work into the paint, for best results 2 layers are needed, then top of with a decent paste wax or sealant for added protection.
baderlfc (23-07-2009)
I have not used this yet but a mate of mine has just bought a e plate e30 cab and has been using it and O MY GOD, the black paint looks better then mine and i have got ocd with my car so going to get me some of that to try
I have used Meg and the Gold Class products is good, agsrp and the ag deep shine is ok but fine it leaves a oil effect
HJL - yes once it sets its advisable to go over with a wax product to hep protect the finish.
Baderlfc - regarding the scratches, you will be better off treating them with a either a fine-medium cutting compound to remove them. Autoglym SRP is a polish and it can mask very minor defects but its not designed to remove them. Also the Meguairs Scratch is an extremely poor product (from my experience).
To be honest here you will be best to avoid the usual off the shelf stuff, its usually not strong enough. You need to go to an online store and looks at the following such as;
From the list here, I would get the Sonus SFX-1 Restore Polish. (I have tried & tested this on my aunts black M3 topping off with the SFX 2 & 3).
For a change I have bought this to try out; (can't see any reason why it shouldn't work)
Also for some of the best products that are genuinely superb try;
You could try something like their scratch & swirl remover 160z.
Also, if you have a polishing machine then its great, if you don't you need to get one in order to get the results. For 5 years Ihave been happily using Peformance Power's 240V polisher. I don't think B&Q do it anymore, but you could get something like http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165640 which is essentialy identical enough. (Sealey also do one via Amazon.co.uk which is a better brand). This is inexpensive yet allows you to get the results and work the products into/onto the paint as required to make them work.
Take a look at my car when I last did (read the text as well), http://www.bimmerforums.co.uk/forum/...rnight-t20530/.
For defect removal invest in a proper Dual Action polisher or Rotary, combined with the correct pads and polishes you will see a far bigger improvement, the polishing head needs to progressively generate a little heat to brake down the micro abrasives in the polishes and level of the swirls and random scratches.

The next morning we went about town to look for a better place to stay and straight away you realise that this is a stunning place, like something out of a chinese scroll painting with all those pointy mountains that come up out of nowhere
This is a real back packer haven. Loads of little cafes and restaurants. Its real relaxing. But its not too touristy, not yet anyway. It'll probably change soon. There's loads to do here if you're into the outdoors, its the rock climbing capital of the world apparently. I tried a bit the other day, very hot and very tiring but worth it for the views at the top. You can rent good bikes too for about 1 euro a day and head off around the countryside cycling between the paddy fields towards anything you like the look of. The people here are so old fashioned - they still plough the fields with Water Buffalos and plant the rice by hand. Nice to see it though.
We went watching cormorant fishing last night, that was deadly. The local fishermen train these cormorants (birds for those of you who don't watch David Attenborough) to swim down into the water and catch fish for them. Amazing to watch. The fisherman lets the cormorant eat every seventh fish he catches. Don't know why the cormorant doesn't just eat them all or fly away or something!!! I'll stick up some photos of it later.
We have to go into town now and arrange transport for ourselves into Vietnam - we've decided to leave Hong Kong off our list coz its just too expensive. This way means we can spend more on luxury hotels in Thailand when we get there.
After organising that we're heading caving in some mud caves - about a 10km cycle from here. Apparently there are these hot mud pools that you have to get into naked coz there's no clothes allowed. I might not post photos of that!!

A WHO/NAMRU-3 training course on insecticide resistance monitoring took place in Cairo, Egypt, from 26 to 30 May 2013.
Following publication of the WHO global plan for the insecticide resistance management in malaria vectors in 2012, the objectives of the course were to:
- reinforce knowledge on different methods of vector control measures
- strengthen entomological surveillance in the context of the global plan for the management of insecticide resistance
- elucidate the insecticide resistance mechanism, the metabolic resistance and target-site resistance on both theoretical and practical levels
- identify and characterize malaria parasites and the blood meal source in infected mosquitoes
- determine how to manage, interpret and report insecticide resistance data among local authorities/the Ministry of Health/WHO.
The training targeted entomologists who were directly engaged in insecticide resistance management in their respective countries with an advanced background in medical entomology and/or vector control.

ah-ha! thanks for the info. i just ordered a rubies jango helmet today (yuck), but its a start....but what about gauntlets? i am also looking for a flak vest to put the armor on and lastly i'd like to get holsters, any ideas?
I must say, this is a FANTASTIC idea with awesome aesthetic results! I have a question though. would it be better/easier if I cut the armour plates out with a dremel?
Last edited by Davsa Arman; Dec 17, 2005 at 11:57 PM.
that's what I did for my cod and backplate...
works well.
Thanks! this gives me motivation to actually go out and buy a dremel :PR_boba_fett said:
some more motivation then... as my dremmel (Ferm) was invaluable in the Fett process.
make sure to wear safety glasses!!! the chunks of molten plastic will be flying around your head
R_boba_fett said:
ooh, I saw your codpiece on another thread! Awesome! I love your back plate, too! How did you make it out of just a trash can? Was there any reshaping involved?
Any chance on sending/posting/pm'ing a link to this? I couldn't find them. Would like to try this...Excalibur said:
This is the kind of stuff that happens when you're not around that much as you used to. Man, KUDOS to all of the guys who were brave enough (still GENIUS) to come up with the idea of the Trash Can Armor. Never thought of that before.
My resolution, try to use snaps or armor. The magnets won't hold firmly, and you'll miss a couple of magnets in the process (believe me), and the second most reliable is VELCRO, but also has it's draws, specially in the outer corners. Otherwise...NICELY DONE, guys!
I actually used a home depot bucket, only downside is making the back plate is hard to do. My first version was made out of sheet metal, that took a lil more work. This is a semi good picture of the sheet metal converted to custom mando works great on battledamaging!
well I made 2 cuts and folded them together, then put 2 bolts through it and bondoed it together... looks okDav'sa Arman said:
that's exactly how i had mine, and they worked out fine
Nice! Could I see pics?CombatBaby said:
Dav'sa Arman said:
I can attempt to post some soon, but i didn't keep them straight plastic, i've been fiberglassing over them, and i'm not completely finished. But that looks like the same oval bucket i used and the same type of angles i set my templates on
Can the plastic be heated up to be better formed to the body once it has been cut out, without warping or melting? This is an awesome idea...I cant wait to try this out.
In my experiences with trash can plastic, it doesn't heat evenly, gets sticky and melts.
An alternate material that I've not heard of anyone using is 1/32nd inch thick pvc pipe.
Best cut with power tools as it is a hard plastic, but can be heated in the oven or with a heat gun and is like rubber when heated. It can be stretched into shape and will keep that shape when it cools. It takes some work to get larger pieces smooth if not pulled over a form.
I built my jet pack out of trashcan plastic, haha. I want to modify it though..
Thanks for the advice sabiru...I think I will try both methods to see how each one works.
Gamer...do you have pics of the jet pack you made from trash can plastic? I am interested to see how it turned out.
how much for finished Armor
Here is a pic of my "Trash Can Jet Pack!!"butzer said:
It does not yet have a rocket, I'm going to build those in 3D first so I can get a good size of dimension, then I will do the 'pi r^2' and cut them out in plastic, then it should be a perfect fit for the jet pack.
It needs to be modified and needs a new paintjob, but the overall shape is good. The tanks at the bottom are not supposed to stick out like that, I need to shave them off, also it's cracking un peu on the sides where the plastic was glued, so I'll goop them up really well and fill in those holes.
It also needs the side thrusters.
This tread is not for selling armour, but I am not sure if you mean if you are inquiring about a purchase or asking how much funds it required to build the armour.jwm73191 said:
Trash cans at Wal-Mart can cost $5-10. I was buying mine from K-Mart, I felt that they had a more basic selection for flatter plastics.
GCNgamer, that jet pack is awesome!!! Do you have any WIP pics or any kind of insight on how exactly you got it out of trashcans? I've already made my armor out of a trashcan, and I just can't imagine getting something that awesome out of it!
I don't really have any WIP shots... but I have these.
GNCgamer..... that jet pack looks amazing!! I'm always amazed on these boards by peoples resourcefullness...keep up the great work
I've been to 6 different Wal-Marts, two different Meijer's, and three different Targets and have only been able to find the smaller of the 2 trashcans shown in the original posts. Can anyone out there clue me in on where I might be able to find the larger trashcan?
I have'nt tried a K-Mart yet because all the K-Marts in our area were closed down several years ago and the nearest one is about 50 miles or so away.
Thanks in advance for any help!

We've heard a lot about professions hurting due to the recession, but is it possible that consulting is one of those rare recession-proof fields? According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the consulting industry is expected to be one of the fastest-growing this decade.
Christopher Wright, a Minnetonka-based mechanical engineering consultant for over 20 years, sees the consulting business as counter-cyclical. "When times are good my clients hire my sort of expertise; when times are bad, specialists seem to be laid off in favor of outsourced engineering."
Judith Alnes, a nonprofit management consultant in St. Paul, has also seen business go up during the recession. She writes, "We've seen nonprofits replace their internal accounting services with our accounting services in order to reduce their expenditures. We're also providing nonprofits with strategic services because they need to re-position their organizations for difficult times. We're helping more nonprofits merge, transfer programs and dissolve."
At the same time Alnes and other consultants have had to lower their fees in order to make it affordable for clients who may be hurting.
Lisa Feder, a social media consultant in Minneapolis, has significantly reduced her rates. "Opportunity abounds, but continues to be a tough road with consulting fees significantly reduced. Overall revenue and marketing budgets continue to be reduced and that seems to transfer over to the consulting world."
Independent consultants seem to be feeling the pain less than larger consulting firms, many of whom have had to layoff staff. Even so, consulting may be an early indicator of an improving economy.
Some firms, like Cynthia Smith-Strack's Arlington, Minn., economic development firm that had to cut staff hours at the height of the recession are now seeing an uptick in business again. In June the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development found that 74 percent of business service firms (that includes consultants), were expecting increasing or stable sales over the next year.
Ramon Riba, a structural engineering consultant in Rochester, thinks that the consulting field might be growing because the jobs employers have shed in the recession are not coming back.
"The fact is with so many layoffs and the huge sucking sound made by all the now professional jobs fleeing to China, India, etc., consulting may be the only realistic solution for many," Riba says.

Our first-year residents serve as the child's primary physician. Training during the first year emphasizes the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. Additionally, acquisition of basic skills in technical procedures is stressed. These objectives are realized as the PGY-1 rotates through the inpatient wards, outpatient clinic, newborn nursery, Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care Units, Pediatric Emergency Department, and the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Service.
Second-year residents make the transition to supervisors for both medical students and first-year residents during their ward months. They are primarily responsible for emergency room consultations and overseeing inpatient admissions. Elective opportunities allow additional subspecialty experience in the Children's Hospital Outpatient Center.
The third-year resident has inpatient and outpatient senior resident roles and abundant elective time. The senior resident has primary teaching responsibilities for the medical students, while they continue to acquire more complex medical and technical skills. The PGY-3 serves as the supervisor in the outpatient clinic and takes call in the PICU, while also serving as the overnight ward (or inpatient) supervisor.
Participation in daily teaching rounds and didactic conferences is an important component of all 3 years of residency training.
After the first year of residency, residents choose one of three tracks. These include a primary care track, subspecialty track, and procedure-based/inpatient track. Click here to view a table of the pediatric 3-year curriculum.

Brink's Home Security Rebrands as Broadview Security

June 29, 2009
Brinks Home Security Holdings Inc., a provider of residential and commercial security systems that spun off from The Brink's Co. last fall, is changing its name to Broadview Security.
Irving, Texas-based Broadview Security will increase advertising spending by $70 million to $120 million in the next 24 to 36 months promoting both its new name and its Brink's heritage, says President and CEO Bob Allen. The company on average spends $40 million each year on advertising.
More than 40 cable television stations will introduce Broadview Security beginning in July. The company will carry the tag line, "The next generation of Brink's Home Security."
The new name reflects the company's wide range of security services offered to families and businesses, says Allen, a nearly 10-year veteran of the company. "It represents our long-standing commitment to deliver peace of mind to our customers. Broadview Security provides a strong platform to continue our growth through the expansion of our security offerings," he says.
Brink's Home Security Holdings Inc. spun off as a separate publicly traded entity from its former parent on October 31, 2008. As a condition of the spin-off, the company was required to change its brand name and corporate name within three years.
The 26-year-old company, which has about 1.3 million customers in the U.S. and Canada, also recently announced it is hiring sales consultants and installation technicians.
For more details about the spin-off, check out SSI's recent Hot Seat discussion with Allen.

Bergemann, Dirk and Pesendorfer, Martin (2001) Information structures in optimal auctions. 2991. Centre for Economic Policy Research, London, UK.Full text not available from this repository.
A seller wishes to sell an object to one of multiple bidders. The valuations of the bidders are privately known. We consider the joint design problem in which the seller can decide the accuracy by which bidders learn their valuation and to whom to sell at what price. We establish that optimal information structures in an optimal auction exhibit a number of properties: (i) information structures can be represented by monotone partitions; (ii) the cardinality of each partition is finite; (iii) the partitions are asymmetric across agents. These properties imply that the optimal selling strategy of a seller can be implemented by a sequence of exclusive take-it-or-leave-it offers.

Hello, friends!
With the flash plugin losing support and mobile phones being unable to view most of the content on Mediamuffin, I've decided to stop updating until we can redesign the website to bring it up to speed with the ever-changing internet landscape.
This means the website will not be updated for a VERY long time.
Please allow me to redirect you to my active accounts for future content! Here's where you can find me:
UPDATES: http://www.twitter.com/funymony
CARTOONS: http://funymony.newgrounds.com/ or Youtube.com/funymony
ART: http://funymony.tumblr.com
COMICS: http://www.m-candy.com
PATREON: http://www.patreon.com/mediamuffin
Mediamuffin.com was supposed to be a website featuring works created by me and a couple of friends, but it eventually evolved into my portfolio where I tie all my uncategorized media together. You'll find a lot of experimental animations, comics, games, and films. Nowadays you'll find a lot of placeholders linking to my commercial work. Sorry about that!
Mediamuffin will forever be a hub linking all of my works together. The future redesign will be focused on archiving my old work and making room for future cartoons and comics. It will be mobile-friendly and allow me to embed videos so that you'll never be redirected again! On top of that we'll have a commenting system so we can finally speak to one another!
Until then, please visit me on my active accounts! See you there!

Yale University
"The University of the People combines two important ideas. The first is that digital networks and social software platforms allow people to produce valuable information goods at increasingly low cost. The second is that affordable education is a crucial ingredient for human development and human freedom. Harnessing new technologies to deliver low cost education to people around the world is a daring venture. It is the kind of experiment that everyone should want to succeed."
Professor Jack M. Balkin is Knight Professor of Constitutional Law and the First Amendment at Yale Law School, the founder and director of Yale's Information Society Project and the co-director of Yale's Law and Media Program.
Under his leadership, the Yale Information Society Project- an interdisciplinary center that studies law and the new information technologies- has promoted the goals of democratic culture and access to knowledge.
Professor Balkin's work ranges over many different fields, including constitutional theory, Internet law, media policy, reproductive rights, freedom of speech, legal rhetoric, jurisprudence, and the theory of ideology. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and writes political and legal commentary at Balkinization (http://balkin.blogspot.com/). His books include The Constitution in 2020 (with Reva Siegel), Cybercrime: Digital Cops in a Networked Environment (with James Grimmelmann et al), The State of Play: Law, Games, and Virtual Worlds (with Beth Noveck) and Cultural Software: A Theory of Ideology.

The celebrity baby boom shows no signs of stopping this week! Just two days after Alyssa Milano's baby boy joined the world, Melanie Brown (that's Scary Spice to most of you) has given birth to a little girl.
Mel already has two other daughters: Phoenix, from a previous marriage, and Angel, from her relationship with Eddie Murphy, but the new addition is the first child for her and her husband of four years, producer Stephen Belafonte.
On Twitter, Mel said, "Finally our baby arrives. Stephen nearly passed out, Phoenix screamed, I laughed so hard the baby popped out!!! She is just sooo amazing!!"
Three little girls and Mel… sounds like Stephen's living with Spice Girls 2.0!

This is the second post by longtime friend and guest blogger, Zach V. I'm always excited to have different voices and perspectives speak out on philosophy and running. Thanks, Zach!
As soon as the division of labor comes into being, each man has a particular, exclusive sphere of activity, which is forced upon him and from which he cannot escape. He is a hunter, a fisherman, a herdsman, or a critical critic, and must remain so if he does not want to lose his means of livelihood; while in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic. -- Karl Marx
If you're a runner, you're probably a Marxist. That's because--strange as it might sound today--Marx was fundamentally concerned with human freedom. And what is more liberating than running?
When runners are asked why they run, they often say that they want to 'get away from it all', to feel 'self-reliant', or to simply be 'free', as a recent advertising campaign phrases it.
This, however, is a weak notion of freedom, as Marx (and Hegel before him) realized, because it is merely negative. When you're defined in terms of what you're not, you're not really making a meaningful statement about what you are. The Bill of Rights, for example, lays out numerous negative freedoms. You cannot be barred from speaking your mind in America. But this kind of freedom doesn't prevent the quality of what is said today from being very bad.
An attorney, scholar, activist, president of a drinking club, facial hair champion, and ultramarathon runner.
A more positive notion of freedom and a more accurate description of why we run would have to do more than say what we're not. It would have to take into account the creativity inherent in human nature and the reality of what people actually do with their freedom.
It's for these reasons that Marx thought action was what defined people. It enslaved them or made them free. You are what you do. And, in Marx's time like today, many people do not harness their full creative powers. Marx saw that those with money just let other people do things for them. Those who had to work in factories became machines themselves, like Charlie Chaplin in Modern Times.
The society Marx envisioned wasn't one ruled by the Inner Party. It was governed by Renaissance men and women who were free to make the lives they wanted to live and become the people they wanted to become. Marx wanted the ideal of the Renaissance to be shared by everyone, not just a privileged few.
Today, many people run when they have absolutely no reason to. Your grandad would have thought you were crazy for running. A lot of people still think we're crazy. Sure, there is the runner's high. And it's a great stress-reliever. But I think something else is going on here.
Maybe we don't have to run, but we still need to run because we're complex and creative beings who want to accomplish things--the true definition of freedom. What is more liberating than being able to say, "I ran a 5k" or "I ran a marathon"?
There are, of course, other ways of fashioning ourselves than by running. But since many of us now have desk jobs in air-conditioned office parks, running makes a lot of sense. After exhausting days at the office, we still have the energy to run because it stimulates a whole different set of activities and thoughts.
Running is one part of my quest to improve myself, fulfill my capacities, and continue to be more free. When I think of who I want to be, it's not a Runner, or a Programmer, or a Partner. It's all of these things, and more. It's the man Marx wanted to be--or at least the one he wanted everyone to be able to be.

Hollywood Park: Jeranimo zooms from last to first in Shoemaker Mile
INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Jeranimo was last of eight on the final turn of Saturday's $300,000 Shoemaker Mile at Betfair Hollywood Park - and that was fine with red-hot jockey Garrett Gomez.
"I thought, 'Let's wind him up, shoot him off the turn, and see what happens,' " Gomez recalled.
What happened was Jeranimo's first win in a Grade 1 race. Rallying wide through the stretch, Jeranimo ($19.60) ran past his rivals to win the turf race by 1 1/4 lengths over the highly regarded Argentine import Suggestive Boy.
Jeranimo was timed in 1:33.97.
"I was glad he ran his race," Gomez said.
Little Mike, the 8-5 favorite and pacesetter, finished third, followed by Mr. Commons, Corporate Jungle, Dubai You XYZ, Hudson Landing, and Liberian Freighter.
Little Mike, the winner of the Grade 1 Woodford Reserve Turf Classic at Churchill Downs in May, led by a length with a furlong remaining. Mr.
Commons, the 2-1 second choice, raced in traffic briefly in early stretch and was not a threat when clear in the final furlong.
Suggestive Boy made his American debut in the Shoemaker. Trained by Ron McAnally since earlier this year, Suggestive Boy won four Group 1 races in Argentina last year.
The victory by Jeranimo gave the 6-year-old horse a fees-paid berth to the Breeders' Cup Mile at Santa Anita on Nov. 3. The Shoemaker Mile was part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge program, guaranteeing a berth in the BC Mile to the winner.
Gomez, who won four races on Saturday, rode Jeranimo to a win in the Grade 2 Citation Handicap here last November. Jeranimo lost his first three starts of 2012 before his upset win on Saturday. Gomez rode Jeranimo for the first time this year in the Shoemaker.
"I know the horse a little bit," Gomez said. "He was a little aggressive going into the first turn, but I let him do his thing."
Gomez kept Jeranimo toward the inside for the first five furlongs and did not move to the outside of horses until the turn. The victory gave owner B.J. Wright and trainer Mike Pender their sixth graded stakes win in the last year, and left Wright eager for the Breeders' Cup.
Last fall, Jeranimo, by Congaree, won the Grade 2 Oak Tree Mile on turf at Santa Anita and finished seventh in the BC Mile at Churchill Downs.
Wright is eager to start Jeranimo at Santa Anita this fall.
"We've got the home field advantage," Wright said. "This is a Win and You're In race and we've got Gomez. What's better than that?"
mike smith is the don pierce of this era,,,horrible
HA HA I called him early last week and he came through nice price!!!
I like Mikey but I think it's time for Mr. Commons to have a new jockey. Sometimes changes are good.
OMG WHAT A KICK!!! WOW!!! That was awesome!!!!
I loved Jeronimo in the BC Mile last year, and he got a brutal ride being sent to the lead, they get riders who take him back this year and he's been a different horse
Some Jocks actually COMPLAINED, that as Gomez Blew by them he shouted "JERANIMO"
Let's be real here - Mike Smith's ride was indeed less than stellar, but let's not make it out to be the reason that Mr. Commons lost this race. At the end of the day, Mr. Commons may be the most overrated horse in the country, regardless of surface. There is no doubt he's a talented runner, but the facts are the facts - he is still yet to win a Grade 1 in his career. Why he is consistently bet below 5-2 is beyond me.
Not going to dump on Mike Smith. Go-Go is back ready to run the West! With Rosario gone east, I'm looking forward to collecting off Gomez this fall. Santa Anita hosting the Breeders Cup! Can I get odds on the jockey challenge today!?!
mr. commons needs a new rider, period, enough is enough!
I really loved this race! Jeranimo went from last to first - Garrett Gomez gave Jeranimo a great ride. In fact, Go-Go had two really big races today, he was in the zone for those two races. He looks like he's enjoying riding again. And Suggestive Boy had a great run to come in to place in the race. The exotics were fab! Good going, Jeranimo, nice win!

I'm not even going to pretend this is a healthy meal. If there's one thing we all know about fried food it's that it's not very good for us. However, if there's another thing we know about fried food it's that it's abso-freakin-lutely DELICIOUS.
I have many times uttered the words: everything is so much better when it's deep-fried. And it's true! I try my best to eat healthy the majority of the time, but I will not deny the fact that I love all things indulgent. I think everybody has a little bit of that in themselves (some more so than others), whether or not they choose to admit it. We'll, I'm not afraid to. Golden brown, crispy, deep-fried delight calls to me. And it's singing my favorite song.
Every now and then, my family and I like to whip out the deep fryer and have a Fried Food Night. Let's be clear, this is not something you turn into a once-a-week staple. It's more of a once-in-a-blue-moon deal. It may not be good for you, but man, is it good. There's something really fun about deep-frying your own food then settling in with the family or whom ever is closest to you to dig in. It's like a food party. And I guarantee that frying your own food is ten times tastier than the sub par appetizers you'll find at any restaurant. This is one of the million cases of "homemade is better."
So, what are we fryin' up tonight?
For those of you who have successfully averted the deep fryer until now, steady your racing heart. There's good news! For one, you can make the eggplant & zucchini without touching a deep fryer. I just fry them up in a shallow pan with vegetable oil. You get golden, deep-fried deliciousness without totally immersing them in a pool of oil. In fact, I don't see any reason why you couldn't do the other two in the pan as well.
Now, that being said, I do love what legitimate deep-frying does to pierogies. Their filling is soft and the outside gets slightly crisp and golden. It's a delicious effect I've never seen in pan-frying. If you've never tried a fried pierogi, then man, are you missing out! Deep-frying isn't as scary as it seems. Give it a go and you'll never look back!
This dinner is just about as tasty as tasty gets. The eggplant and zucchini get wonderfully crunchy and golden on the outside with a tender inside that's still slightly crisp. Better yet, they aren't coated in one of those super thick batters that take away from the veggies themselves. It's a light and crisp coating made from a mixture of panko & breadcrumbs to achieve the perfect texture, plus oregano, kosher salt, and grated parmesan for great flavor. You get a yummy golden coating that enhances the veggies rather than suffocating them. It's delightful. Serve 'em up with some smooth marinara sauce and you've really got something there!
I highly suggest having a Fried Foodapalooza like I did, but you don't have to make a meal out of it. You could make just one or two of these delectable fried delicacies for an appetizer or side dish. It's up to you!
So, ready to get fryin'? I sure am!
A Few Tips Before You Get Cooking:
- Don't like some of my fried foods of choice? French fries are DELICIOUS when you make 'em at home. If you don't feel like peeling and slicing potatoes, I won't judge you if you use the frozen kind! It's still delicious. Tater tots also come out AWESOME in the deep-fryer. Other options include onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and more!
- You want to have everything set out and and ready to go before you start. I say that all the time, but I really mean it today! The veggies can fry up quick and if you don't handle multitasking well, you may get overwhelmed. That's why it's good to have your breading station all set up so you can work quickly & efficiently.
- If you get two people in the kitchen, one can fry the veggies and the other can man the deep-fryer with the pierogies and poppers. Then you can cook twice as fast.
- Feeling a little guilty about eating all this fried food? Follow up with a light dessert like my Caramel Macchiato Pudding for only 85 calories or Classic Creme Brulee for 104. Then, detox some more tomorrow with a healthy meal like my Kickin' Italian Veggie Skillet for 140 calories or a Zesty Black Bean Taco for 240 calories!
- If you're feeling really fancy, you can make a homemade marinara sauce for dipping the fried veggies in. If not, jarred is just fine.
- I LOVE Wegman's pierogies. They're available in the freezer section and there's a million flavors to choose from! Tonight, I tried the Whole Grain Pierogies with Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Swiss cheese inside. Delicious! I also love the Spinach and Feta kind. But you can't go wrong with the Onion, Garlic, or classic Cheddar!
Fried Zucchini & Eggplant
Recipe by The Smart Cookie Cook
- 1 eggplant, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 cup Panko
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 3 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup flour
- kosher salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- marinara sauce, for dipping
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil & spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Fill two large skillets with a quarter-inch of oil. Bring to medium-high heat.
- Get out three bowls. Fill one with the flour. Fill the second with the eggs and milk. Whisk to combine. Fill the third with the panko, breadcrumbs, oregano, salt, pepper, and parmesan. Mix to combine.
- Bread the veggies: One at a time, dip the zucchini/eggplant first into the flour, then the eggs, then the breadcrumbs. Make sure you coat the veggies evenly in each layer!
- Use tongs to lay the breaded veggies into the oil. Cook on each side until golden brown. Continue breading veggies and adding to the pan as space is available. When golden brown on each side, remove veggies and transfer to baking sheet. Keep warm in oven while you finish cooking the others.
- When all the veggies are fried, sprinkle with kosher salt & serve with marinara sauce.
How to Fry Pierogies, Poppers, and More!
How-To by The Smart Cookie Cook
- 1 box frozen pierogies (like Wegman's)
- 1 box frozen jalapeno poppers (like Popper's)
- Or any frozen snack food of your choice, like french fries, tator tots, onion rings, or mozzarella sticks!
- Vegetable Oil, for frying
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Take your snacks out of the freezer and let them thaw for a little.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Line a large bowl with paper towels & set aside.
- Heat fryer to 350 degrees. Fill to line with vegetable oil.
- Load batches of food into fryer basket (don't overcrowd the basket; it'll lower the temperature of the oil). Carefully and slowly lower the basket into the oil.
- Foods like the pierogies and poppers will float when they are almost done. The pierogies take about 7-8 minutes and the poppers take about 3-4 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your deep fryer. Once your food is golden brown to your liking, carefully and slowly lift the basket out of the fryer. Shake to remove extra oil.
- Dump the fried snacks into the paper towel-lined bowl. Let sit for a minute so excess oil can soak up while you add another batch of finger foods to the oil.
- Transfer the cooked food from the bowl to the baking tray. Keep warm in oven while you finish the other batches.
- When you're done frying everything, load up a plate and enjoy!
Now, you're ready for a fried festival of deliciousness! Deep-fried finger food nights like this are great for New Year's Eve or Super Bowl parties. However, you don't need a special occasion to celebrate yummy food and good company. Enjoy a night in with you family and some fried-up fun!

Lets look at this another way....the customer is trying to get something for nothing and she thinks this kind quilter will just give in by asking the quilt artist to feel guilty for asking to be compensated for her time, talent, and treasure. Tat is what this is. The customer is trying to take advantage of her. Period.
I would hand the scraps of the tailor fabric over to the customer and move on. Sell that masterpiece to someone who will appreciate it.
In the end, learn from this experience. If one does not have a business mind...do not sew for others.
I would bet that the mural artist gets screwed too but that is not our problem here!

The SL8-6 for U.S. import has a narrowed magwell that will not accept hi-cap (G36) mags. Other countries, such as Canada, get other variations that do accept hi-cap mags.
All SL8's have the thumbhole stocks, has nothing to do with destination coutry.
The main legal difference between the SL8 and the G36 is the SL8's inability to accept a full-auto G36 carrier. There are other differences, of course, but the receiver's inability to accept a F/A carrier is THEE single difference that can not be legally modified on the SL8, all the other differences can be legally changed in one form or another.

'Turn' stars give peek into life, looks on set
NEW YORK — A classic spoof of the Revolutionary War finds Gen. George Washington interrupted by a bill collector out on the battlefield.
"Could you come back in a little while?" Washington proposes. "I'm going down in history at the moment."
In real life, Washington didn't know he was going down in history any more than do the characters of "Turn," a new AMC drama about four young Americans who find themselves part of an espionage network destined to help the Continentals beat their British oppressors. It premieres Sunday at 9 p.m.
History records these childhood friends were the core of what was dubbed the Culper Ring. But history remained pretty tight-lipped about it, at least until now, as "Turn" shines an overdue light on their gallantry.
"We're catching these heroes before they were heroes," says Heather Lind, who plays wife, tavern-keeper and spy Anna Strong. "I didn't know I was auditioning for a real person till about three auditions in."
Adding spice to the tale is the mutual yearning of Anna and her former fiance, Abraham Woodhull, in their small Long Island town. Years earlier, Abraham broke off their engagement. Each married another. Now, reunited by their patriotic cause, they find their long-thwarted romance will be rekindled.
"He knows Anna is who he should be with," says Jamie Bell, who plays the much-conflicted Abraham. And when the war throws them together, "she's the one who makes him face his fears and find his voice."
The 28-year-old Bell, born in England, began his career as a kid star in the 2000 musical feature "Billy Elliot," wowing moviegoers with his skill as a hoofer. Subsequent films include "King Kong," "Nicholas Nickleby," "Flags of Our Fathers," "The Adventures of Tintin" and the current "Nymphomaniac." He is married to actress Evan Rachel Wood.
Lind, 31, who grew up near Albany, N.Y., has logged a number of stage credits and a recurring role on HBO's "Boardwalk Empire."
"I was sort of star-struck when I met Jamie," she confides. "To look nice I wore a pair of heels. Then Jamie came in and introduced himself and I was sort of looking down at him."
No wonder. Bell has a wiry but compact build ("I'm 5-feet-8 after yoga, when I've stretched myself out") and Lind reports her height as 5-feet-7 — that is, when her lustrous brunette locks aren't poufing up a bit.
"At the last minute, right before the audition, I snuck a pair of flats out of my bag and changed shoes," she says.
"Very Anna Strong-like," says Bell admiringly.
The couple's easy, joking banter strikes quite a contrast to Abraham's haunted demeanor, and to that of Anna, who, in Lind's portrayal, exhibits a world of pain and resolve in her enormous brown eyes.
"On the show, I look so serious!" Lind says. "But there are a few scenes toward the end of the season where there's laughing."
"Why?" asks the reporter. Was someone tickling her?
"You can use that word if you like," she replies with an explosive giggle.
"It gets hot and heavy, man," Bell elaborates. "We spend at least half the season building up to it."
Meanwhile, they have been busy helping the struggling Continentals hang on.
"Turn," which wrapped its first season just one day before this interview in New York, was shot around Richmond, Va. Billeted there with Bell and Lind were Seth Numrich as Ben Tallmadge and Daniel Henshall as Caleb Brewster, the other members of the undercover quartet.
The series also stars Kevin R. McNally, Burn Gorman, Angus MacFadyen, JJ Feild and Samuel Roukin as the slithery Redcoat Capt. Simcoe, who viewers will love hating from his boots to his powdery wig.
Speaking of which: "The men on this show have more makeup and hair than we do," cracks Lind. "Do you know how long it takes to straighten out his ponytail?" she says with a nod toward Bell.
"I wear a little extension," he concedes. "I've been wearing it for five months and I took it out yesterday for the final time. I was ready to burn it!"
But his real point of contention is with a certain wardrobe item.
"I hate tricorner hats," Bell declares. "There's something about them that screams 'period'!"
The show's solution: a knit cap was fashioned for Abraham that looks like an 18th-century version of the headgear that Bell wears in real life "cocked to one side," he laughs, "because I think it's cool. You'll notice in the show that if I have a tricorner it's in my hand, never on my head. And if it's on my head, there's been an argument that day."
Indeed, one scene in the premiere finds him wearing his tricorner, "but I had to," he explains, "and in my next scene you see me chucking it into a wagon."
"If only it were that easy to chuck my corset off," says Lind.
Not that she's complaining. She thinks "Turn" is poised to spark a new fashion craze.
"That's my dream," she says. "Next season on the red carpet: bonnets!"
"And I'll be there with my knit cap," Bell pledges. "Off to the side."
