- By Tom Precious
State racing regulators failed to approve a temporary license for the New York Racing Association to continue racing in January while talks about a permanent franchise deal continue.
State racing regulators failed to approve a temporary license for the New York Racing Association to continue racing in January while talks about a permanent franchise deal continue.
More than 200 racing trophies of the late Ethel D. Jacobs, North America's leading owner for three years, and her husband, Hirsch Jacobs, a Hall of Fame trainer, are being auctioned at Christie's in New York Jan. 17, 2008.
The New York Racing Association released its 2008 stakes schedule Dec. 12, following approval by NYRA's board of trustees at its monthly meeting. The New York State Racing and Wagering Board still must give its approval, a standard procedure.
The New York Racing Association, whose annual deficits are "not reflective of operating in a sound and economical manner," underpaid the state of New York by $10.9 million in franchise fees from 2004 to 2005, according to a new audit by state comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.

The Barclay Tagg-trained Dave took advantage of a clear outside trip under jockey Joe Bravo to win the $150,000 Red Smith Handicap (gr. IIT) over the yielding turf at Aqueduct Nov. 10.
The New York Racing Association can add the Internal Revenue Service to its list of obstacles, as the federal agency wants NYRA to pay it $1.6 billion to settle past tax bills.
Woodbine Entertainment has dropped out of Empire Racing Associates, a week after the group bidding on the New York Racing Association's franchise lost several of its other major partners.
Breeders' Cup prospects Tale of Ekati and Benny the Bull both breezed on the fast Monmouth Park track Oct. 16 in preparation for their respective races, the Bessemer Trust Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) and the TVG Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I).
Woodbine Mile (Can-IT) winner Shakespeare, who won seven of eight career starts for Frank Justice's Dell Ridge Farm, has been retired from racing after suffering a flare-up of the old tendon injury that once kept him from racing for 21 months.
Jockey Joe Bravo, sidelined with a fractured left clavicle bone following a Sept. 7 spill at Belmont Park, will return to the saddle Oct. 13 at Belmont Park, said his agent, Drew Mollica.
Kiaran McLaughlin talked all week about how blinkers had made the difference in Daaher's Aug. 26 allowance victory at Saratoga. Apparently, the trainer was right on the money, as the 3-year-old Awesome Again colt was much the best in the $160,100 Jerome Handicap (gr. II) Oct. 7.
The forecast for this year's Grey Goose Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (gr. I) will become a little clearer Oct. 6 at Belmont Park, following the results of the $400,000 Frizette Stakes (gr. I).
Garrett Gomez, the leading jockey in the nation by purses earned, was scheduled to return to riding Oct. 4 but took off his mounts another day after an Oct. 3 incident at Belmont Park resulted in his hospitalization.

New York Racing Association racing secretary P.J. Campo says NYRA officials will meet with horsemen in the next "couple days" to discuss maintenance of track surfaces at Aqueduct, Belmont Park, and Saratoga after a series of catastrophic injuries.
Belmont Park's Fall Championship Meet has long been a popular stepping stone for flat horses aiming at the Breeders Cup World Thoroughbred Championships. Jumpers adopt that strategy Sept. 22 with the inaugural running of the $150,000 Lonesome Glory Steeplechase Stakes (gr. I).
Lear's Princess won the Gazelle Stakes (gr. I) at Belmont Park Sept. 16, handing Belmont Stakes (gr. I) winner Rags to Riches the first loss of her career since her racing debut in June 2006.
Jockeys John Velazquez and Javier Castellano were both relatively uninjured following a Sept. 13 spill at Belmont Park. Castellano will ride the Sept. 14 card, and although Velazquez opted to take off his mounts Sept. 14, he will return to the saddle Sept. 15 to pilot his assigned starters, including Rags to Riches in her greatly anticipated Gazelle Stakes (gr. I) appearance.
Doctor Dino had not won since last October, but reuniting with jockey Olivier Peslier may have been the key to getting him over the top, as the 5-year-old French-bred courageously outfought Sunriver to win by a head in the $500,000 Man o' War Stakes (gr. IT) Sept. 8 at Belmont Park.
Making her first start in America, Noel O'Callaghan's Alexander Tango rated far off the pace and then came charging down the middle of the Belmont Park turf stretch to capture the $250,000 Garden City Stakes (gr. IT) by three-quarters of a length Sept. 8.
Jockey Joe Bravo was hospitalized with a broken left collarbone following a spill at Belmont Park, when his mount broke down in the upper stretch during the third race on the New York track's opening day card.
Rutherienne has won five turf stakes in a row. But a victory in the $250,000 Garden City Stakes (gr. I) is far from a sure thing, as the 3-year-old filly must overcome a whole new set of challenges in the 1 1/8-mile event at Belmont Park Sept. 8.
Only days after a record-breaking Saratoga meet ended, the 33-day Belmont Park Fall Championship Meeting stand kicks off Sept. 7 with the 25th running of the $100,000-added General Douglas MacArthur, a one-mile test for older New York-breds.
Now that Rags to Riches will not be running in the $300,000 Ruffian Handicap (gr. I) Sept. 8, the outlook of 1 1/16-mile test for fillies and mares has decidedly changed. Ginger Punch is now the filly to beat.
Ten races remain at Saratoga, and soon it will be time for the final start of the season.
Genuine Risk resides at Bertram and Diana Firestone's Newstead Farm near Upperville, Va., where she enjoys status as the resident queen.
Trainer Todd Pletcher reported this morning that Rags to Riches, the first filly to win the Belmont Stakes (gr. I) in 102 years, has had her temperature drop to normal levels and will likely head back to the track Aug. 30.
After a postponed Aug. 26 work due to wet track conditions, Belmont Stakes (gr. I) winner Rags to Riches took another step back in her training program when trainer Todd Pletcher canceled an Aug. 27 workout due to the filly's elevated temperature.
In an Aug. 25 news conference at Saratoga Race Course, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer said he may not meet the Sept. 4 deadline to make a recommendation as to which organization should receive the franchise to run racing at the Aqueduct, Belmont, and Saratoga racetracks.
The canoe in the infield pond has been painted in James Tafel's colors of yellow and blue. Street Sense is safely recovering from his exertion. Another Travers is in the record books. Talk about feeling the air go out of the balloon
The much-anticipated career debut of Todd Pletcher trainee The Green Monkey will not occur at Saratoga this year, Pletcher confirmed Aug. 24.
A senior advisor to New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer said the governor has not decided on any one plan for the state's Thoroughbred racing franchise, but acknowledged that a slew of ideas "from shutting down Aqueduct to splitting up the franchise" have been on the table.
The New York Racing Association July 29 announced significant purse increases for its 2007 Saratoga Meet. Purses will also increase for the final three weeks of Belmont Park's Spring/Summer Meet beginning July 4.
William J. Gallion and Shirley Cunningham Jr., the suspended lawyers and 20% owners of Preakness Stakes (gr. I) winner Curlin, along with suspended attorney Melbourne Mills Jr. pled not guilty June 21 in U.S. District Court to charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud against more than 400 plaintiffs in a lawsuit over the diet drug fen-phen.
A day after the head of the New York Racing Association expressed optimism about holding onto its Thoroughbred franchise, Gov. Eliot Spitzer praised the new leadership at NYRA for helping the group recover from its legal troubles.
The National Thoroughbred Racing Association has launched a special blog page dedicated to Belmont Stakes (gr. I) winner Rags to Riches.
All the superlatives and accolades have been written. The 139th Belmont Stakes (gr. I) and the performance of Rags to Riches will forever be a part of Triple Crown lore, and will go down as one of the sport's greatest moments. But it was not all about one horse. There is another who deserves near-equal billing for his remarkable accomplishments.
By Ray Paulick - What fans got this year were three incredible horse races that ended with three very accomplished and deserving winners, punctuated by the history-making performance of Rags to Riches, the first filly winner of the Belmont since Tanya in 1905.
Rags to Riches becomes the first filly to win the Belmont (gr. I) since 1905, beating Curlin in a thrilling stretch duel.
In a thrilling blanket finish, 8-year-old Better Talk Now beats English Channel and Shakis in the Manhattan Handicap (gr. I).
Cotton Blossom came charging on the outside to beat heavily favored Dream Rush by a length in the Acorn Stakes (gr. I).
First race goes off at Belmont Park; crowd begins counting down until the last leg of the Triple Crown.
Fans are trickling into Belmont Park through the grandstand entrance. Out back by the picnic area, there are a few spots still available, but there won't be for long.
Trainer Steve Asmussen is confident that his Preakness Stakes (gr. I) winner Curlin will show up and finish strong in the final leg of the Triple Crown, the June 9 Belmont Stakes (gr. I).
One of the first horses Bob Carver bought a small part of is Belmont (gr. I) hopeful Hard Spun. The auto dealer from Arkansas is enjoying the Triple Crown ride as much as he does his Razorback football.

Londoners are voting — at time of writing (11.30pm AEST; 2.30pm GMT) — on who should be their Mayor for the coming four years; whilst a diversion from an Australian focus, I want to make some comment and reflect on the likely re-election of the man known simply as "Boris."
After four years as Mayor of London, incumbent Boris Johnson (pictured) appears set to easily retain his position in local government elections taking place across Britain today, although many of his Conservative Party colleagues in other councils across the country are likely to encounter heavier weather at the polling stations, with up to 500 of them tipped to lose their seats.
With claims of descent from Turkish aristocracy, a reputation as an eccentric, a ferocious temper, rumours of serial infidelity and something of a cult of personality surrounding him, Johnson is — at first glance — an unlikely candidate for public office.
Yet eleven years after replacing Michael Heseltine as the member for Henley in the House of Commons — and after four years as Mayor of London — Johnson has emerged as a formidable political entity in his own right; one of that rarest of breeds of politicians universally referred to by his christian name, and a possible successor to British PM David Cameron when the time comes.
Johnson's political career has been colourful; twice last decade, when the Conservative Party was in Opposition, he served briefly in shadow Cabinet; the first of these tenures under then-leader Michael Howard was abruptly terminated upon Howard's suspicion Johnson had lied about an extra-marital affair; the second, under David Cameron, was also marked by rumours of an affair, but on that occasion he survived.
As a candidate for the mayoralty prior to the 2008 election, he was opposed by Cameron, who felt he was unsuitable; however, under the guidance of Australian campaign supremo Lynton Crosby, Johnson ran an effective campaign, defeating the incumbent Mayor Ken Livingstone on his first attempt.
Johnson's first term as Mayor has been relatively successful; crime rates in the City have fallen, and Police numbers increased; alcohol consumption banned on London's trains; a strong lead on environmental issues; and the City readied for this year's Olympic Games.
His opponent today is again Ken "Red Ken" Livingstone, so-called on account of his left-wing, tax-and-spend, socialist beliefs. Livingstone was ejected from the mayoralty in 2008 in part as a result of the unpopularity of the then government of Gordon Brown, and faces an uphill battle today.
Part of the problem is that he has been around for decades; now approaching 70, it was more than 30 years ago that he first became Leader of the Greater London Council (GLC), a predecessor body to the present London Assembly. The GLC was abolished by Margaret Thatcher's government in 1986, ostensibly in the interests of devolving power to local communities at council, but in practice the abolition ridded Thatcher of a detested adversary who was using the GLC to build himself a rival centre of power.
Livingstone instead took a seat in the House of Commons for Labour, was passed over for endorsement as the Labour mayoral candidate in 2000, but stood as an Independent anyway and won; this temporarily led to his expulsion from the Labour Party, although he was adopted as its candidate for re-election in 2004.
Today, fully 20% of polled Labour voters have stated they will not vote for Livingstone; half of those plan to vote directly for Boris instead. "Red Ken" is widely unpopular now, even (and especially) among Labour voters, and it is something of an indictment that with a Conservative government in office at the national level languishing in all reputable opinion polls, Livingstone — in London's beating heart — is barely competitive.
Livingstone's centrepiece election promise is a pledge to drastically cut fares for public transport. This pledge is deceptive; the Transport for London Authority (TfL) has significant cash reserves on its books, which makes the promise deliverable; the only catch is that the money TfL holds is earmarked for infrastructure maintenance and construction of new lines, rolling stock and so forth. In other words, Red Ken's plan borrows from tomorrow to deliver populism today; his opponents have seen through the ruse, and their message has left Livingstone's campaign adrift.
The election for the Mayor of London is more an interest piece for me than anything else; whilst British politics at the national level is a great interest of mine (and my knowledge of it, at the risk of immodesty, is considerable), local governance in the UK is more an interest of a passing nature, aside from the overlaps between the two.
But Boris is Boris…people love him or hate him, and I think he is great; I look forward to waking tomorrow morning (Friday, or late Thursday night in the UK) to the news that he has been re-elected as virtually every reputable opinion poll in London has suggested for many months now.
And when next in the UK — probably in July — I look forward to following, for a week or so at least, his exploits in much greater detail.
(P.S. Readers, thank you for entertaining this indulgence…back to the "usual" channel tomorrow…)

Very high quality, well machined, great looking slip-on titanium silencers and titanium pipework.
Simple to fit simply remove your existing silencers and fit these new race silencers!
Increase in torque at 4500 - 7000 rpm, also achieving slightly higher overall power (bhp) - estimated 6-8 bhp increase.
As you can guess, it's no easy task for an OEM to meet all these requirements and maximize power. Noise, NVH and emissions requirements dictate that a stock motorcycle exhaust will hold back some of the performance potential of your engine.
Thankfully, the aftermarket industry doesn't have these same constraints. Designed for maximum power development and the kind of feel and sound an enthusiast craves, the motorcycle exhaust aftermarket is a whole other ball game. This is why custom exhaust systems for your MV Agusta make a world of difference.
These sound great at low and high revs!
Direct replacement with no mapping or modifications needed.

Don't Know What To Do?

Intervention and Rehab
Rehab is a lifesaving opportunity for an individual caught up in substance abuse to save their own life and be able to make a fresh start. It can be difficult to understand why someone wouldn't jump at the opportunity to take advantage of such help, and choose rather to remain in a state of physical, moral and social decay because of addiction. Sometimes, family members and loved ones have to put aside all judgment, anger and all other emotions and approach the situation analytically and with courage in order to intervene when an addict can't help themselves. Holding an intervention can be the key to saving a loved one's life and persuading them to make the right choice, and ultimately go to rehab.
Confronting Addiction
Once family, friends and even co-workers recognize a substance abuse problem that has spun out of control, they will want to confront the individual and try and help them. This doesn't always work, because addicted individuals are often living in a delusion world filled with denial and excuses, and it can take a significant event to cut through this delusion. An intervention is a perfect way to cut through these lies and delusions, right down to the truth, so that individuals can have a moment of clarity and see what they have to lose if they don't get help.
About Intervention
Anyone who cares can hold an intervention, and they can even get help from professional interventionists who are trained and experienced in the process. Intervention participants can be anyone who has any kind of influence in the addicted individual's life such as a spouse, children, siblings, parents, close friends and co-workers, etc. Participants can become educated about the intervention process with the help of treatment professionals at the drug rehab of choice, or ideally though the help and guidance of a professional interventionist.
Intervention participants will hold the intervention in a place free from distractions, where the addicted individual can feel as safe and comfortable as possible during the process. A crowded restaurant or caf? for example would not be an ideal location for such a meeting. Participants will be instructed to write letters which will be read at the intervention explaining how the individual's substance abuse has negatively impacted their relationship, and what can be done about it. Participants can explain to the individual what type of treatment is being offered and what the particulars are. Surrounded by compassion and the offer of help, and being confronted with such truth, many break down and accept this gift of help.
For those who don't, part of the intervention process is putting a stop to any enabling that may be occurring and making it as hard as possible for the individual to continue their substance abuse. For example, if someone is being supported by a family member this will be stopped at once, as most of this money is going to drugs anyway. If the individual has a child in their custody, this isn't a healthy environment for a child, and steps will be taken to ensure the child is taken away from them until they get help and can prove themselves as a parent by going to drug rehab and getting sober. All of these measures are not threats, but done out of love for the person who may very well break under these terms and go to drug rehab because the pressure of such bottom lines was brought to bear.
Rehab is the only chance that some individuals have to take a step back and resolve their addiction issues; many others don't take or get this opportunity and lose everything in the course of their abuse of drugs and alcohol. An intervention can be the deciding factor as to which road your loved one will take, so it is crucial that this tool be used as soon as possible to avoid any negative consequences and stop substance abuse in its tracks.

- The beach a walk away was the highlight of the holiday. There was soft sand dunes and it wasn't very busy. The swimming pool was ok though there isn't much for non swimmers. The splash pool is good but it'd be good if there was a middle depth too. The reception and shop staff were very helpful. The grounds were attractive and the playground was great. We liked the indoor play centre, which was free in September though no on knew that until we tried to pay! The crossiants and bread were wonderful each morning. Lovely local area. I just felt the pool area could be updated a little.

BeschreibungA first appearance in English by the late French writer and early minimalist Bove (Armand, 1987; My Friends, 1986) of a novel published in France in 1945, a few months after his death, that stunningly delineates the eventual heroism of an Everyman. In terse but subtle prose, which only heightens the tension as Bove's luckless hero Joseph Bridet, a journalist, sinks deeper into the quicksand, Bove describes an ordinary man trying to survive in extraordinary times. When the Germans invade France in 1940, Bridet flees with his wife, Yolande, to Vichy France. There, he hopes to pass himself off as a devoted citizen of the collaborationist regime so that he might get a passport to go to Africa, where he can join the Gaullists and fight for France's liberation. But he is unable to sound convincing enough, and his contacts soon suspect his motives. Meanwhile, his own unease grows, and in a series of chilling bureaucratic encounters he decides that he is under suspicion and should return to Occupied France. But Bridet is not safe there either: no one can be trusted; the Germans become suspicious; and he is interned. When German soldiers are killed by the local resistance, Bridet is made one of the hostages. Nervous - and cowardly all his life - Bridet then has one of "those simple ideas that, depending on how much of ourselves we put into them, seem either inspired or insignificant. It suddenly restored strength to him. The idea was that, whatever he might do, he could no longer escape death, and that, since he must, he might as well die bravely. And this is what he did." The Kafkaesque dealings with the bureaucracy, all laconically detailed, and the hero's inevitable death with its stunning but almost offhand epitaph make this a book of quiet but tremendous presence. A small masterpiece. (Kirkus Reviews)

The toss
The toss! It's the toss! Australia have won the toss and are batting first! Cook confirms that he would have batted if he had the choice. Hereeee's Warnie! The wicket is going to be quick, and it is going to swing, he says
The beat
This gets better and better If you thought England's cookbook was embarrassing, Cricket Australia have decided to release the team's motivational music play list to the public. It ends, oddly, with Lovely Day by Bill Withers
1st ball
Australia 0-0 Jimmy Anderson, who has been in superb form in the warm-up matches, will take the first over. The first ball is on the line of off, with perhaps just a little movement away, and Rogers pats it away square
2nd over
Australia 7-0 There's a raucous chorus of boos as Broad comes on to bowl, louder still than the ones the English gave to David Warner. Broad's first ball is a bouncer, and a huge no-ball, which Warner wallops away for four
Wicket! 12-1 Broad has got Rogers with a short ball! Rogers wasn't nearly so confident playing that second one. It wasn't that fast, but it was short and straight, and spat off the wicket, took the shoulder of the bat, and flew to gully
Wicket! 71-2 Broad bookends the session. That was a poor shot from Watson after all that hard work. He didn't need to play at the ball, which was wide of off stump. The edge flew through to slip for a Swann catch
Russell Jackson makes his OBO debut It's a pleasure to be joining you and as the first Aussie contributor of the series I will just try to put my nerves aside and avoid becoming the Darren Pattinson of the OBO. So be gentle
Wicket! 73-3 Broad has struck again! Fourth ball after lunch he's forced Clarke on to the back foot and the Aussie skipper turns it straight to Bell at short leg. Broad will hope to be the pantomime villain in every state
Wicket! 83-4 Warner is gone bunting one to Pietersen at cover. An awful shot when he was looking so comfortable. Broad has been good this morning but that was batsman error of the worst kind. The Aussies are up against it now
Wicket! 100-5 Anderson gets one to lift away from Bailey, who feathers it to Cook at slip. Shocking way to start his Test career. It would appear putting an Australian on the OBO is a fail-safe way of England taking wickets
Wicket! 132-6 Tremlett gets Smith, who feathers one to Cook in a depressingly familiar sight for Australian fans. Well that over started with promise for Smith, but his dismissal was untimely to say the least
Morning/afternoon all Thanks to Russell for a fine OBO debut, writes John Ashdown, managing to take four Aussie wickets. Close to a five-for and a place on the honours board. Australia have been a shambles
Australia 235-6 Johnson drives Swann for a single to bring up the 100 partnership, which, though a very fine effort, has served to highlight what a pig's ear the top order made on a track where a total of 400 would be par
Wicket! 246-7 Johnson departs! It's a cracker from Broad, who clatters into middle stump. That's Broad's five-for. And he takes a huge amount of delight in holding the ball up to every corner of the ground
Wicket! 265-8 Gone! Anderson surges in once more and beats Siddle outside off with a cracker and next up he finally finds the edge. It was too good for a No9 – straightening him up. Cook takes a very good low catch in the slips
Australia 273-8 Deja vu all over again. Australia's top order crumble. The lower order comes to the rescue. But it's still not really enough. If the first day sets the tone, this could be a very long series for Australia

Damodar Mithaiwala was originally a doodhwalla. In pre-independent India, the family delivered milk to homes in Dadar. As time went by, the family began to make delicious milk-based sweets. D. Damodar Mithaiwala, formerly known as Dayaram Damodar Mithaiwala, was established in the pre-independence era in the year 1937. Their hard work paid off and the sweets soon became popular. They then diversified to make savouries and steamed snacks called farsan. The enterprising family soon discovered the wonderful taste of Bengali sweets. In their constant effort to innovate, they brought in special cooks from Bengal and got them to make Benagli sweets in Mumbai. There was no looking back and the sweet shop grew to become a brand. Their sweet offerings attract the most varied customers across cities and communities like Maharashtrians, Gujaratis, Parsies, Bengalies and Jewish people as well.

Hollyweird is at it again.This one has been doing the rounds for a while now about how The Simpsons predicted Trump's presidential candidacy but there is a lot of confusion between two episodes, and it may be a deliberate effort to cause confusion. Regardless of this aspect of it there is also subliminal messaging in the second episode.
The first episode was from 2000 and the second from 2015. Predicting this in 2000 was not that far-fetched as he was asked this several times in interviews including an interview he done with Oprah back in 1998. This episode doesn't actually show Trump it's an episode where Bart sees into the future and Lisa ends up as president as Trump has bankrupt the country:
The second episode from 2015 shows him walking down the escalator and was after he had declared his candidacy and he had already walked down that escalator:
Again there seems to be a deliberate attempt to confuse these two episodes to show that they had predicted the future when they did no such thing.
But on to the subliminal part, in the next clip from 2015 we see the escalator scene and then Homer in a trance mesmerised by his hair:
Starting at the escalator we see signs showing "VOTE" and "PAID", why would it say "PAID"? that has nothing to do with going for election other than to somehow smear him.
Then we see a sign showing dates changing every 4 years up to 2028 with the Statue of Liberty looking wrecked as if he's never going to leave office.
A Neanderthal walking by.
Amelia Earhart scratching her head.
Several signs including Macy's with "GET LOST!"
The chimp scene from A Space Odyssey.
And so on.
Hollyweird at its sick, depraved manipulation again.

Meet the SiteDelta Developer
Why was SiteDelta created?
When I was a student, some of my lectures had a website that was sporadically updated by adding some text information anywhere in the page. So I wrote an add-on highlighting the changes to avoid missing any of them. This add-on also turned out to be helpful for social network sites that did not support notifications about friends' updated profile pages.
Later SiteDelta learned to scan the pages in background, so that I no longer had to manually visit the pages as long as no changes occured.
What's next for SiteDelta
I'm currently concentrating on bug fixes, but I have some greater ideas I don't want to talk about yet.

Desolate and silent streets.
Everything covered in a white blanket,
And it's two a.m. and we are the only ones out.
The whole town is dead,
Sleeping at this late hour.
And we are walking, talking quietly if at all,
Careful not to wake anyone.
Mostly we are silent, like the streets,
Gazing at the beautiful storm.
Soon the heavy snowfall will erase our footprints
Like we were never here together.

Global rice scarcity has boosted demand and that's meant U.S. rice growers can charge more for the staple. But the high market price of rice is being canceled out by the spike in oil. Mississippi rice farmer Gary Fioranelli explains how the cost of fuel, fertilizer and other farming necessities has doubled his production costs from last year and how he's banking on a bumper crop this year to stay in business.Guest: Gary Fioranelli, a second-generation Mississippi rice farmer and chairman of the U.S. Rice Producers Association

It's been awhile since I've really been on here, working 65 hours a week and such. Everything seems to be slowing down and I got a chance to buy a couple new guns recently.
First, a 3rd gen Glock 21. Picked it up at a gun show a few weeks back for $400 otd. It might have had 2 or 3 mags through it. I absolutely love it, and it has since replaced my S&W Sigma as my EDC.
Next up, a Taurus PT1911. I picked this up yesterday. The ejector in my High Standard Crusader bent, so I sent it back for repair. 3 months later it came back and all they had done was bend the ejector straight! 2 magazines in and it was right back where it started. With customer service like that I figured I'd just trade up, and I wound up with this:
I'm really liking it, but the light trigger is definitely going to take some getting used to. It's amazingly better than anything I've shot. It's a little high and left, but I'll be fixing that today.
Overall, I'm pretty happy to have these added to my collection. Now if I could just find a Beretta Nano!
Great deal on a nice Glock. Congrats!
Chose a weapon that goes bang EVERY time!
That's my problem as well...Now if I could just find a Beretta Nano!
Nice adds. Really, you guys are having a problem finding a Nano? Check out CDNN. They just had them in their flyer for around $390.
Wow, guess the memory is still working. I just confirmed, and they are $389.99.
nice group and ya, sometimes a new gun has you to tape the target
with a slight adjustment on the target board...
----yo, mr BG--would you please a little to the right and on your tipy-toes.
thank you kindly
You plug 'em, I plant 'em

Dan Goldie Financial Services LLC Reports Double-Digit Asset Growth in 2009
Dan Goldie Financial Services LLC, an independent financial advisory and financial planning firm in Menlo Park, California, reported today the firm's assets under management grew to over $350 Million as of December 31, 2009.
"Our clients were rewarded for staying invested in 2009 even though times were scary early in the year when the economic outlook seemed dismal," said Dan Goldie, President of Dan Goldie Financial Services. "At a time when many other investors were selling equities, we worked hard to help our clients understand the potential benefits of maintaining a diversified, long-term investment strategy. I believe this benefited them not only last year, but also over the last decade or so of low returns for the broad U.S. stock market."
Dan Goldie Financial Services manages balanced portfolios of equities and fixed income securities for individual investors. The highest returns for the firm's clients in 2009 came from international equities, where the firm normally invests about 30-40% of a client's equity allocation. U.S. investors holding international securities benefited from the falling value of the U.S. dollar, which added to the returns from local international markets.
Mr. Goldie said, "Recent times have been difficult for investors, but our experience is that those who remained disciplined and held diversified, multi-asset portfolios made it through better than most. We are pleased to have played a part in helping our clients navigate today's difficult financial waters and to have seen a resumption of growth in assets under management."

UPDATED: Shots fired after alleged truck thief rams Glendora police officer during chase
GLENDORA >> A man fleeing from police in a stolen car rammed a pursuing officer's vehicle in Glendora late Saturday, prompting an officer-involved shooting, before the suspect was tracked down and arrested, authorities said.
Andrew Joseph Baltierra, 20, who was not wounded by the gunfire but was hospitalized for treatment of K-9 bites sustained during his arrest, was expected to be booked on suspicion of crimes including attempted murder of a police officer, evading police, auto theft, DUI, drug possession, Glendora Police Chief Tim Staab said. Baltierra's city of residence was not clear.
The series of events began about 7:30 p.m., when an automated license plate reader notified Glendora officers that a 2003 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck driving in the area of Grand Avenue and Arrow Highway had been reported stolen, the chief said.
Officers initiated a chase when the driver of the truck — later identified as Baltierra — refused to pull over, officials said.
Two patrol cars chased the truck for less than a mile before the fleeing driver made a "sudden and unexpected U-turn" at Bonita Avenue and Dale Road, police said.
The lead patrol car was following the truck through the U-turn when it collided nearly head-on with the second patrol car, which contained Glendora police K-9 "Bo" and his handler Staab said.
Despite the "substantial" impact, which totalled the police cruiser and caused the air bags in both vehicle to deploy, the pickup truck was still running, the chief said. The officer who was struck by the fleeing pickup truck saw the suspect again gun the engine in his direction.
"The suspect was about to ram the police car again," Staab said. The officer fired two round from her service pistol, striking the pickup truck but not Baltierra.
The officer whose car was rammed by the suspect was treated for apparently minor injuries, Lamborghini said.
K-9 Bo appeared uninjured in the crash, Staab added.
Baltierra fled into the surrounding residential neighborhood, Lt. Rob Lamborghini said. Officers set up a search perimeter with help from neighboring law enforcement agencies.
The suspect left behind a shoe as he ran, which a Pomona Police Department bloodhound was able to use to obtain his scene and track him to a motor home in the backyard of a home about a block away about three hours later, Staab said.
Baltierra refused commands to surrender, prompting officers to send in another police dog to help apprehend him. The suspect punched and kicked the dog before the animal got the better of him and helped officers take him into custody. The police dog suffered no significant injuries.
Officials took Baltierra to a hospital for treatment of dog bites prior to booking him into jail.
According to Los Angeles County Superior Court records, Baltierra was already on probation for a previous criminal conviction prior to Saturday's incident.
He was sentenced to 180 days in jail and three years of formal probation after being convicted of auto theft in September of 2015, records show.
He was also convicted of possessing stolen property in May, resulting in a 90-day jail sentence, and of possession of drug paraphernalia in August of 2015, earning him a 49-day jail sentence.
UPDATED: Suspect wounded in South Pasadena police shooting, arrested following standoff
SOUTH PASADENA >> Police shot and wounded a suspect in the middle of a home burglary as two women who lived in the house hid in an upstairs bathroom early Saturday, authorities said.
The incident began about 4:25 a.m. when a 48-year-old woman and her 22-year-old daughter realized there was an intruder in their house in the 1300 block of Huntington Drive, Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said in a written statement.
"Upon seeing the suspect, the women fled to the upstairs bathroom where they barricaded themselves from the approaching suspect," according to the statement. "The suspect attempted to break through the bathroom door in an attempt to gain entry. When his attempts failed, the suspect proceeded to ransack the bottom level of the residence. The mother called 9-1-1."
Officers rushed to the home and made their way inside, officials said.
"As the officers walked up the stairs towards the second floor, they were confronted by the suspect," the statement said. "It was at this time that an officer-involved shooting occurred. The suspect then fled from the officers towards a bedroom where he proceeded to barricade himself."
It was unclear what prompted police to open fire on the suspect, or whether he was armed at the time.
Police cordoned off the home and used a ladder to rescue the women through the window of the bathroom in which they'd been hiding.
A sheriff's SWAT team responded to deal with the barricaded suspect. Officials from the sheriff's Special Enforcement Bureau announced the suspect was in custody about 7 a.m.
"While in custody, it was discovered that the suspect had been struck in the shoulder by gunfire," according to the sheriff's department statement.
The 48-year-old suspect was treated at hospital before being booked on suspicion of burglary. His name was not released Sunday.
South Pasadena police deferred comment to sheriff's officials, who traditionally investigate officer-involved shootings involving Los Angeles County police agencies.
The residents of the home were unharmed, and no police officials were injured during the incident, sheriff's officials said.

Man fatally shoots self in front of sheriff's deputies in Norwalk
NORWALK >> A man fatally shot himself during a confrontation with sheriff's deputies in the parking lot of a Target store on Friday morning, authorities said.
The incident unfolded shortly after 9 a.m. when deputies received report of a man pointing a gun at passing cars along the 605 Freeway at Firestone Boulevard, Deputy Ryan Rouzan of the Los Angeles County sheriff's Information Bureau said in a written statement.
Deputies encountered a 24-year-old man attempting to break into cars outside nearby businesses, he said.
The man started walking west through a Target parking lot at 10600 Firestone Blvd. when deputies noticed he was carrying a handgun, officials said. Deputies approached the suspect in an attempt to stop him from crossing Firestone Boulevard.
"As deputies attempted to stop the suspect, he put the gun to his own head as if he was going to shoot himself," Rouzan said. The man then began walking south the parking lot,
"The deputies tried to detain him, and the suspect continued to point the gun at his head," he said. "The suspect stopped on the sidewalk in front of a local business and attempted to rack a round into the chamber of the gun."
Rouzan said deputies ordered the man to drop his gun and tried to prevent him from entering nearby businesses.
"The suspect then turned and pointed the gun at deputy personnel, at which time deputies fired multiple rounds, missing the suspect," Rouzan said.
"The suspect then ran between two cars in the parking lot, placing the gun to his head, and shot himself," the deputy said.
Paramedics took the badly wounded man to a hospital, where he was placed on life support, officials said. He ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
Deputies recovered the suspect's semi-automatic pistol at the scene.
The man's identity was yet to be released pending positive identification and notification of family.
The motive for the suspect's behavior remained unclear.
"The reason for the suspect's actions is unknown at this time," Rouzan said.
West Covina police officer wounded in gunfight returns to duty
WEST COVINA >> A West Covina police officer wounded in a gunfight with a suspect returned to duty this week after recovering from his injuries.
Officer Kenny Benitez was allegedly shot by 47-year-old Jose Luis Chavez during a May 20 confrontation on Yaleton Avenue, just north of Badillo Street, according to West Covina police and Los Angeles Count sheriff's officials. Chavez, who was also wounded in the encounter, was captured in nearby Valinda following a six-day manhunt, faces charges of attempted murder of a police officer, assault on a police officer with a semi-automatic firearm and possession of a gun by a convicted felon.
The West Covina Police Department's briefing room was extra crowded Thursday night as fellow officer and other colleagues attended the briefing to welcome Benitez back to his first shift after three months of recovery, West Covina Police Chief David Faulkner said.
"Ken was severely injured when he was shot in May and his quick recovery is nothing short of miraculous under the circumstances," the chief said.
"Officer Benitez is a strong young man and was driven to return back to work in support of his fellow officers in the field," Faulkner said. "We are very proud of Officer Benitez and how he handled this injury. Ken has set a solid example for our personnel for many years to come."
Benitez has been a police officer for nine years, and had worked with the West Covina Police Department of a little over a year at the time of the shooting.
Benitez approached Chavez as he walked with a woman, pushing a bicycle, when Chavez pulled a handgun and opened fire multiple times, officials said. Benitez was wounded but returned fire.
The alleged shooter, later identified as Chavez, initially escaped the scene but was captured by a sheriff's SWAT team the following week in the unincorporated county area of Valinda. He was found to have a days-old gunshot wound to his arm.
Chavez has yet to enter a plea to his charges in connection with the shooting of Benitez.
His arraignment hearing has been postponed four times, and his now scheduled to take place Sept. 6 in West Covina Superior Court, Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Sarah Ardalani said.
Chavez is also scheduled to be sentenced for another criminal case on Sept. 6, she said. He pleaded "no contest" in April to possession of drugs for sale, bringing contraband into a jail and possession of a switchblade knife. That case was first filed in December of 2015.

Man charged with shooting of West Covina police officer
WEST COVINA >> Prosecutors charged a man with attempted murder of a police officer and other charges Wednesday in connection with the shooting of a West Covina police officer during a gun battle last month.
Jose Luis Chavez, 47, of West Covina, is charged with attempted murder of a police officer, assault on a peace officer with a semi-automatics firearm and possession of a firearm by a felon, Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office spokesman Greg Risling said.
After fleeing the scene of the May 20 shooting along Yaleton Avenue, just north of Badillo Street, Chavez remained a fugitive for six days before a SWAT team found and arrested him inside a residential garage in Valinda early on May 26, authorities said.
Chavez entered no plea Wednesday, Risling said. He was scheduled to return to the West Covina branch of the Los Angeles County Superior Court Thursday for arraignment.
West Covina police Officer Kenny Benitez suffered a through-and-through gunshot wound to his abdomen in the shooting, West Covina Police Chief David Faulkner said. He has since been released from the hospital and is continuing his recovery at home.
Chavez was pushing a bicycle, accompanied by a woman, when the officer thought him suspicious and approached him, according to police Los Angeles County sheriff's officials, who are assisting West Covina police in the investigation.
Chavez ran, sheriff's officials said. Following a short foot chase, Chavez pulled a handgun and began shooting at the officer, who returned fire.
It was not immediately clear whether the suspect — later identified as Chavez — was wounded in the exchange of gunfire. But upon his arrest nearly a week later, investigators noted he was an apparent gunshot wound to his arm.
Lt. Steve Jauch of the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau said Chavez, who is on felony probation under AB 109 guidelines following a previous conviction, has a lengthy and violent criminal record.
If convicted as charged, Chavez could spend the rest of life in state prison, Risling said.
Chavez was being held without bail, records show.

UPDATED: West Covina police officer wounded in gunfight; gunman sought
WEST COVINA >> A manhunt continued Saturday for a gunman who shot and wounded a West Covina police officer Friday night, authorities said.
The shooting took place about 11:20 p.m. along Yaleton Avenue, just north of Badillo Street.
"There is an officer down. He was struck by gunfire," Deputy Trina Schrader of the Los Angeles County sheriff's Information Bureau said.
The officer had approached the gunman as he rode a bike through the neighborhood, sheriff's officials said in a written statement.
"The contact (led) to a gun fight between the officer and the suspect," Schrader said. "At that time, the officer sustained a gunshot wound to the upper torso."
It was unclear whether the assailant — later identified by sheriff's investigators as 47-year-old Jose Louis Chavez, had been wounded in the exchange of gunfire.
Sheriff's deputies, as well as officers from police agencies throughout the region rushed to the scene to help in a search for the suspect, who remained at large Saturday afternoon. Police K-9s, bloodhounds, helicopters and three SWAT teams joined in the search.
"We had help from pretty much every agency in the San Gabriel Valley," West Covina Police Chief David Faulkner said.
Officials wound down their neighborhood search Saturday afternoon. The suspect remained at large.
Chavez is described as Latino, 6 feet 1 inch tall, 225 pounds, with his left eyebrow pierced, sheriff's officials said in a written statement. "He should be considered armed and dangerous."
The wounded officer, a 9-year law enforcement veteran with more than an year on-duty with the West Covina Police Department, was expected to survive, Faulkner said.
The bullet struck the officer in the abdomen, beneath his bullet-proof vest, the chief said. It penetrated through the officer and exited his body.
Remarkably, "The round didn't hit any of his major organs," the chief said.
"At this point, certainly, I can say that God was on his side."
Initial plans for emergency surgery were placed on hold, and possibly cancelled, after it was discovered the officer's major organs were spared by the bullet, he said.
The officer was conscious, alert and in good spirits at a hospital Saturday, accompanied by family members, Faulkner said. His identity was not released.
"He's experiences, respected and he did a great job under the circumstances," Faulkner said of the wounded officer.
The chief also praised the work of officers and deputies in the aftermath of the shooting and thanked the community for an outpouring of support.
Further details, including a detailed suspect description, were not available.
Badillo Street remained shut down between Sunset and Orange avenues, as well as Sunset Avenue at Badillo Street, as the investigation and manhunt continued Saturday afternoon.
Anyone with information can reach sheriff's homicide detectives, who are assisting West Covina police in the investigating, at 323-890-5500. Tips may also be submitted anonymously to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
UPDATED: Man killed by police after stealing West Covina police car, leading cops on chase to Glendale identified
GLENDALE >> Authorities Wednesday released the identity of a man fatally shot by West Covina police after stealing a police car and leading officers on a wild chase that ended in Glendale as television news cameras broadcast the incident live.
Man killed by police after stealing West Covina police car, leading cops on chase to Glendale identified
Gevork Alachadzhyan, 45, of North Hollywood died at the scene of Sunday's 10:30 p.m. officer-involved shooting in the 100 block of South Glendale Avenue, according to Deputy Juanita Navarro-Suarez of the Los Angeles County sheriff's Information Bureau.
But sheriff's homicide detectives, who are handling the officer-involved shooting investigation, placed a "security hold" on the case at the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner.
The security hold prevents coroner's officials from releasing any information about the case, Winter said.
The reason for detectives' decision to block the release of information was unclear. The handling detective at the sheriff's Homicide Bureau declined to discuss the case Wednesday.
In a recording of police radio traffic from the pursuit, the driver — later identified as Alachadzhyan — can be heard screaming, sometimes unintelligibly, into the microphone.
AUDIO: West Covina police radio recording
"I'd rather take the car," the man yells at one point.
"The police are gonna kill me," he continued.
West Covina police chased Alachadzhyan, who activated the stolen squad car's emergency lights and sirens, at high speeds before using a PIT maneuver to spin the car out. News helicopters filmed as a police SUV smashed broadside into the stolen cruiser, pinning it.
"The officers saw the suspect making efforts to remove weapons positioned between the passenger and driver's seat," officials from the sheriff's Information Bureau said in a written statement. "Fearing the suspect was arming himself, both officers discharged their weapons."
The suspect died at the scene, officials said. No officers were hurt.
Authorities said the suspect stole the West Covina police car after an officer responded to a call for service 200 block of Barranca Parkway in West Covina, but ultimately determined no crime had occurred, officials said.
The officer offered the man a ride to the east end of town, according to the statement.
Once the officer let the man out of the car, "the suspect ran to the driver's door and assumed control of the vehicle," according to the sheriff's department statement.
"The transporting officer attempted to regain control of the police vehicle. The suspect began driving with the officer near the driver's side window, but the officer was unable to regain control of the police vehicle."
Fellow officers soon spotted the stolen police vehicle and initiated the chase.
In addition to numerous convictions for petty theft, receiving stolen property, DUI and driving without a license, Alachadzhyan was convicted in 2013 of possession of a machine gun, being a felon in possession of a gun, drug possession and possession of drugs for sales, records show.
Other convictions include contempt of court and false impersonation of another, according to court records. At the time of Wednesday's chase and fatal shooting, Alachadzhyan had a case pending against him on charges of hit-and-run, driving on a suspended license and driving without a valid license.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new splices, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin January 4, 2016.
Owners may contact Ford customer service 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 14S17-S1.
