Saturday's $200,000 Philip H. Iselin Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. III) has come up strong this year with nine solid older horses passing the entry box.The 68th running of the 1 1/8-mile Iselin has a wide array of talent, from local hopes Jersey Giant and Vinemaster, to seasoned handicappers Tenpins, Saarland, Private Lap, and Aeneas.Vinemeister, trained by Alan Seewald, and Jersey Giant, trained by Jim Ryerson, ran one-two in the Salvator Mile (gr. III) last out, but it's likely they'll both be double-digit prices in the betting in the Iselin.Favoritism will fall between Tenpins and Saarland.Tenpins, bred and owned by Joseph Vitello, won the Cornhusker Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. III) at Prairie Meadows in his lone 2003 start on July 12. The son of Smart Strike won three stakes last year including the Washington Park Handicap (gr. III) at Arlington and the William Donald Schaefer Handicap (gr. III) at Pimlico. A winner of eight of 12 career starts for trainer Don Winfree, Tenpins has earned $818,689.The 5-year-old shipped into Monmouth on Tuesday and has been training over the track here all week. Cynthia Phipps' Saarland, whose dam Versailles Treaty won the Molly Pitcher Handicap (gr. II) here in 1992, is based at Saratoga and is slated to arrive the morning of the race. Trainer Shug McGaughey has named Eibar Coa to ride. Coa was Monmouth's leading jockey the last two years before switching his tack to New York this season.Saarland is coming off a sixth-place finish in the Whitney Stakes (gr. I) behind Medaglia d'Oro and Volponi at Saratoga on Aug. 2. Highly regarded throughout his career, the 4-year-old Saarland (by Unbridled) still has but one stakes win to his credit, the Remsen Stakes (gr. II) that he won late in his 2-year-old campaign. He just missed by a neck in the Metropolitan Mile (gr. I) on Memorial Day.Aeneas, a son of Capote owned by Pat and Ed Pavlish and trained by Marty Wolfson, was second behind Perfect Drift in the Washington Park Handicap (gr. III) at Arlington on July 19. He has a 3-7-2 slate from 16 career starts and has earned $232,825.Philip H. Iselin Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. III), 1 1/8 miles, 3-year-olds and up, $200,000

Tool Lanyards
Ok I've just started doing a heap of installs for a local blind company. Most of the work is at heights and I've managed to drop my drill twice, :censored:!! Luckily the old girl has survived and more importantly no one was hurt. Does anyone use a lanyard on tools? Just wondering what experiences you may have had and any recommendations. FYI the drill fell out of a holster because I didn't clip it in, but I find I'm now often up ladders holding 14 different items and trying to do it in the safest manner possible!
I saw a tool caddy that slides on to the side of a folding ladder-----look like it would be useful---
It was at my plumbing supply house---sorry I didn't see a price or the name----
Here's a few hundred of them.

Indonesians Evacuate From Mount Merapi's Path
The volcano erupting on Indonesia's Mount Merapi has continued to claim lives as hot ash and gas spew over surrounding areas in one of the worst eruptions in a century.
The last time we connected with Global Post's intrepid reporter Will Carless, he had just managed to get as close as he could to the erupting mountain. Now we find him, as well as many thousands of others, leaving the region. We caught up with him via phone as he traveled by train to Jakarata.

Nielsen recently released its first Twitter TV Ratings top 10 list, a new metric that measures not how many people watch a given television show — the basis for traditional TV ratings — but how rather how much activity they generate on Twitter. Just how different are the two metrics? Take look at the Breaking Bad finale: While it came in No. 1 on the list as the most tweeted about show in America, its traditional TV ratings didn't even crack the top 10.
Nor did many of the most-watched shows make the same sort of splash on Twitter. The most-watched shows during the the week Breaking Bad topped the Twitter Ratings chart were Sunday Night Football, The Big Bang Theory, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, The Crazy Ones, two other NFL programs and The Voice. How many of them showed up on the Twitter TV top 10? Only The Voice.
It turns out the shows most seen on Twitter aren't always the shows most seen on TV, and the discrepancy illustrates just how much more there is to learn about what a tweet about a TV show means. It also offers networks and advertisers a way to gauge the relationship between viewership and Twitter traffic, but knowing the volume of tweets is just the beginning, and there's a lot of data in those tweets that's still silent.
For example, were people tweeting so much about Breaking Bad simply because it was the finale? Do shows like Glee and Jimmy Kimmel Live do well because they have younger audiences that are more tuned-in to Twitter? Are people tweeting that they love The Voice or that they're angry at who's winning? That information is out there, but it doesn't come out in numbers on the reach of a given tweet (Nielsen tracks the number of tweets, people tweeting about a show, and also how many people see those tweets)
"Social provides a lot of opportunity, but it's difficult to relate what's being said online – especially on Twitter – to what's being done in the real world. People say one thing and they do another," Brian Blau, a Gartner analyst who researches social analytics tools, told WIRED. "How do you help these businesses figure out what the differences are?"
In other words, we may know that a lot of people are tweeting about a show, but are they watching it? And, if so, are they enjoying it? Who these tweeters are and how they feel about, say, an episode of Scandal isn't something you can determine from knowing that there are nearly 713,000 tweets about it.
One thing that has potential to change this, Blau noted, is Twitter's new deal with Comcast, which was announced last Wednesday. The two companies are pairing up on a new feature called "See It," which will essentially turn Twitter into a remote control. Launching in November, "See It" will create a Twitter card for any show mentioned in a tweet that will allow users to click to watch, On Demand stream, or DVR the show mentioned. That feature, Blau said, will give much more effective data on how often a tweet leads to someone tuning in. And that seems to be what Comcast, which has 24 million U.S. subscribers, is looking for. As the company's chief business development officer Sam Schwartz told All Things D, "we want to make the conversation on Twitter lead to consumption."
Nielsen has determined there is a two-way relationship between Twitter and ratings, even if no one is quite sure exactly how it works. Back in August, the media measurement company released a study that looked at 221 primetime episodes and found that the live ratings for a given episode had a "statistically significant" impact on tweets related to the show for nearly half of the episodes sampled and – conversely – the volume of tweets caused a significant change to the live ratings of 29 percent of the episodes. Translation: For nearly a third of the episodes sampled, the more tweets, the higher the ratings. Interesting, but even Nielsen is still a little unsure what it means.
"This round of causation research was only looking to see if there's a 'there there' with respect to tweets influencing ratings," a Nielsen rep told Variety when the report was released. "Now that we've seen statistically significant evidence of this, the next wave of research will be around understanding how/why."
Granted, most of this information is generated in order to give networks and advertisers a better idea of the kind of traction TV shows are getting on social networks, but the metrics are likely going to be interesting to fans as well as ad buyers. Think about it. Joss Whedon's cult favorite space cowboy show Firefly never got great Nielsen numbers, but if there had been Twitter TV Ratings back when it was on the air, fans could've pointed to the show's presumably significant level of social engagement as a sign of its niche popularity.
So what's next in terms of looking at engagement beyond the numbers? Nielsen's SocialGuide, which the company acquired last year to work on its social TV measurements, is working to broaden its Twitter metrics to include demographic data like age and gender in 2014, according to a Nielsen spokesperson. There's also a plan to include tweets in Spanish.
What Nielsen probably won't track, simply because it doesn't lend itself to straight-forward numbers, is the idea of sentiment — how people actually feel about the things they are discussing. Is someone tweeting about the Breaking Bad finale because they loved it or hated it? There no distinction in the current Twitter TV Ratings. And while several analytics firms – including Bluefin Labs, which Twitter acquired earlier this year – do monitor sentiment, it's a notoriously difficult thing to measure. There's no foolproof way for text-analyzing machines to understand sarcasm and slang, for example.
"The vendors that are experts at this claim 90 percent of the conversation that they measure, they have an accurate measure of sentiment or an accurate measure of the subject of the conversation," Blau said. "Skeptics tell me that that's very high – 90 percent is at the upper bound – but the realistic numbers are much lower, in the 50 to 70 percent [range]. Will it ever be 100 percent? The answer is no."
Of course, the bigger question is: Does it matter? Some say "any press is good press," and perhaps all tweets are good tweets. Even if everyone's talking about how terrible or WTF a show is, if the volume is high enough it might cause people to tune in just to see what all the fuss is about. It'll be especially interesting to see how this plays out in the new arrangement between Twitter and Comcast. Based on the screenshot examples released by the cable provider, it appears the Twitter cards will at least initially be attached to tweets from the official show Twitter feeds, but if/when the cards are attached to random users tweets, you might see an update that reads "Tonight's #GreysAnatomy was the worst ever!" followed by a card asking if you'd like to watch it now.
In a blog post announcing the gambit, Comcast Cable's head of business development Sam Schwartz used the example of seeing friends tweeting about Sharknado, which got a lot of tweets even if many of them were mocking (or at least ironic). "If I had only seen an ad about a sharks-meet-a-natural-disaster movie, frankly, there would be little chance that I would tune in," Schwartz said. "However, all these tweets pique my curiosity, I click on the See It button in one of the tweets, and then use it to set a reminder to watch the movie later that night." So maybe love it or hate it or love-hate it — it really doesn't matter just so long as there are eyeballs.
Metrics like age, gender and sentiment are still only the beginning. There's still a lot of other data — and combination of data — embedded in the world of Twitter for networks and advertisers to mine, even if analyzing it may prove the bigger challenge. "It's complicated," said Clark Fredricksen, vice president of research firm eMarketer told WIRED. "On the one hand, you have the internet, which is the most accountable, measurable media channel in history, compared to TV, which is arguably the most difficult channel to measure." In other words, social media provides an embarrassment of riches that viewership numbers don't. We just need to figure out how to read it.
"It's probably fair to say we're past version 1.0 of social analytics tools. Version 1.0 is giving people basic high-level statistics – counts, followers, and maybe the first order of statistics saying what does some of this data mean?" Blau added. "[Now] we're into version 2.0 of social analytics, where they've realized how to get access to the data, they've had their first level, they've realized what their customers want now in terms of information and all those smart data scientists in the world are hopefully coming up with algorithms to give them that."Go Back to Top.

Yesterday mom brought home a paper bag and it looked like a perfect sleeping spot so I climbed inside. Suddenly, the stupid dog scared me and made me run before realizing I was still in the paper bag. Mom started laughing because it looked like a paper bag was running. It was very embarasing. That stupid dog! Today I found a better nap spot! The frying pan that was on the counter. I am a little too big for it but if I trim down my weight, it will work just fine. :)

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports: -- On July 20th, McWilliams warned Next Inning readers the price of Cirrus would soon come under pressure and it was time to take profits or sell covered calls to hedge risks. Within 20 days the price dropped from over $18 to the $12s. Confident Cirrus would maintain its positioning in the new iPhone 4S, McWilliams wrote later it was time to get back into Cirrus. Through the years McWilliams has had an uncanny knack of calling the highs and lows for Cirrus. With shares now trading significantly higher following Cirrus' pre-announcement of better-than-expected numbers for Q4, should investors consider taking profits or hold on for more upside? What options strategy might investors also consider to lock in profits while limiting risk? -- Why do investors need to look at "the recognition of the voice" as only part of the equation when considering Nuance? What new markets does McWilliams think we'll see emerge for voice recognition? What is McWilliams' assessment of Nuance's current valuation?

Toronto's civil service is searching for new leadership at the top, as city manager Joe Pennachetti and one of his lieutenants announced their retirements on Tuesday.
Mr. Pennachetti, who was appointed as city manager in 2008 after a tenure as chief financial officer, will vacate his position in November, along with Brenda Patterson, a deputy city manager.
The city manager recommended that council appoint deputy city manager John Livey as the acting city manager while a search for a permanent replacement takes place.
Mr. Pennachetti has worked for three mayors but arguably gained the most prominence under the tenure of Rob Ford, when he supported the chief magistrate's push for efficiencies. More recently, he spoke out against the mayor's characterization of the city's finances and claims of how much he has cut from the city budget. In a statement, Mayor Ford credited both bureaucrats with having played a "strong role" in advancing his fiscal agenda at city hall.
The city manager identified the "balancing act" between budget cuts and preserving services as his greatest achievement in a career that spanned four decades.
"From the service review and late nights and sleeping on couches at city hall during those reviews, I'll remember that. But I'll most remember how the Toronto public service met the challenge," he said during a press conference.
"I don't have any regrets," Mr. Pennachetti added. "I talk about walking across that square every morning and night. I'm getting emotional now. If you're committed to public service, with all due respect to provincial and federal levels, this is the best place to be."
Ms. Patterson, who has been with the public service for 38 years, said she thought about vying for the job of city manager, but having just celebrated her 40th wedding anniversary and with a grandson on the way, sought balance in her own life.
She told council she plans to move to the advocacy side of an issue that has dominated much of her professional life: the child care system.
"Maybe I'll become just as much a thorn in your side as other people have been," she told councillors. "I remain passionately resolved to bring a national child care system to Canada."

According to the Printing Industry of America, at its peak there were 54,000 printers in the US and today the number is approximately 30,000. It is projected that 23,500 will survive by 2020. These survivors will adapt to new digital printing technology and with full service marketing incorporating data management, printing on different substrates, connecting digital media, mailing services, design and customer specific requests. Printing is alive and well and the survivors will grow and prosper.
Between 2008 and 2012 in the US, 60,857 truckloads on Uncoated Free Sheet paper were taken out of production. These tons included offset, forms bond, envelope, text, cover, writing and tablet. Surely the Great Recession was responsible for many of the machine closures. But this trend was going on before 2008 with the internet replacing the need to print everything from newspapers to bank statements to newsletters to annual reports. The small paper manufacturers are gone, but the large producers like Domtar, International Paper, Boise and Georgia Pacific continue to make product and will prosper in the future.
The organization called Two Sides has stated that the US paper and forest industries employ 900,000 people. Of course these people are not just involved in the manufacture, distribution and export of printing papers. They are also involved with tissue, towel, packaging, containerboard, boxboard, specialty papers and many timber products. It is estimated that these 900,000 earn $50 billion annually. As our economic recovery moves forward, the number employed will grow and remain an important part of our economy.

Where did you see these jeans? I'm curious...
This is a discussion on CCW jeans within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Has anyone ever used the CCW jeans with the built in pocket?? How is the cut on them, are they sized big, small? I am ...
Has anyone ever used the CCW jeans with the built in pocket?? How is the cut on them, are they sized big, small? I am really interested in these, but 75.00 a piece is alot for pants.
Where did you see these jeans? I'm curious...
Springfield EMP
Para Slim Hawg
Rossi .38
AK-47 Bulgarian SSR 85C 2
AK-47 Hungarian AMD 63
Chuck Norris has to maintain a concealed weapon license in all 50 states in order to legally wear his pants.
On the bottom right hand video that shows how these jeans hold a Seecamp or NAA, I saw some very bad gun handling. The guy actually loops his finger into the trigger guard and spins the pistol out of his pocket. Very weird coming from a company who should know about proper firearm handling-If for no other reason than because of the type of business they are in.
The Problem: When stupid people do stupid things, smart people end up getting killed.
Having never actually touches a pair of these jeans, it looks to me that the sidearm can be pushed out of the pocket when you sit down.
"Each worker carried his sword strapped to his side." Nehemiah 4:18
Guns Save Lives. Paramedics Save Lives. But...
Paramedics With Guns Scare People!
To paraphrase Colonel Cooper,
" An ingenious solution to a non-existant problem".
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.
Rudyard Kipling
I think I'd rather put $75 towards the purchase of a quality holster.
Walk steathly - and carry a big Springfield.
That is possibly the worst product I've ever seen.
Buy a belt and holster, and all of your jeans become CCW jeans!
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
- Edmund Burke
These seem very over-priced.My wife could sew a pocket like this in my jeans.I agree the large gun does not look secure.
OK then, I will pass on these
There is also Bullet 50 jeans (website is the name), supposedly made by a plainclothes LASD officer for plainclothes work. Pants have a holster, ASP pouch, handcuffpouch built into them. US Cavalry carries them as well....
Stay Safe...and always check your six!
These are a better option but I still don't think I'd buy them: http://www.gunpants.com/
They offer them in navy, black, and khaki as well. Kind of looks like tactical Gucci to me but...
We'll stick with the holster route...comfortable...dependable...and works every time...

Loews Hotels announce You First, a new loyalty program that will reward guests based on number of stays. The program allows guests to begin receiving rewards after just one stay and provides free Internet, late checkout, guaranteed rooms and upgrades to guests who visit a minimum of two times in a given year. It is also offers rewards to guests booked through meeting planners or travel agents.
"You First is our way of thanking our best guests and building loyalty with new Loews Hotels customers," says Nancy Mendelson, senior vice president of marketing at Loews Hotels. "We have simplified the program by rewarding guests based on the number of stays, and made it more relevant by giving amenities that research showed is most meaningful to our customers."
Available at Loews' 17 hotels and resorts as of July 15, You First replaces Loews' current Loews First rewards program and has the following structure: Member - 0-1 stays; Blue -2-4 stays; Gold - 5-9 stays and Platinum - 10+ stays. As soon as a member qualifies for a certain status, they will receive those benefits for the next 12 months unless they progress to another level of membership. Benefits include American Express Membership Rewards points and partner discounts for all member categories; free room upgrades, late checkout, guaranteed availability, free access to property fitness centers, and free internet for Blue through Platinum members; VIP on-property amenities for Gold and Platinum members.
All You First members are eligible for Loews Hotels exclusive partner discounts including 20% off Fisher Price online orders of $75 or more, 30% off Fiji water home delivery, and 30% off Kuerig home coffee brewers among others.
"We have structured You First with an eye towards growth. We plan to add more marketing partners and offer exclusive trips that include event tickets and experiences that would be nearly impossible for a person to source on their own," says Mendelson.

Reverse Kick!
by Bilall
(Mauritius, Port Louis)
Hmm... it was in October i think around 15 - 20th. It was a Saturday and me and my cousin were invited for a marriage and after the marriage we were driving to a hotel where a group of "Shaolin Jujitsu" were performing and knowing that am very fond of all kind of Martial Arts he took me with him.
There the sensei which know my cousin told to him and my cousin present me to him. Looking at him was like 'Wow' such strength and all of that kind of words. After a very amazing performance with the 'Shalolin Jujitsu Team' I took a few pictures with the two sensei. It was the best moment i can say of my life.
I am practicing Taekwondo for over 4 years now and i think the pictures are not that bad!

Applying RCS and SCCS tells you how to manage a complex software development project using RCS and SCCS. The book tells you much more than how to use each command; it's organized in terms of increasingly complex management problems, from simple source management, to managing multiple releases, to coordinating teams of developers on a project involving many files and more than one target platform.Few developers use RCS or SCCS alone; most groups have written their own extensions for working with multiperson, multiplatform, multifile, multirelease projects. Part of this book, therefore, discusses how to design your own tools on top of RCS or SCCS, both covering issues related to "front-ending" in general, and by describing TCCS, one such set of tools (available via FTP). This book also provides an overview of CVS, SPMS, and other project management environments.
Don Bolinger is a software engineer in the Research Institute of the Open Software Foundation, where he works with the Mach microkernel and serverized UNIX systems. He has labored on, in, and under various UNIX-like environments for around 15 years. His first exposure to project control came long ago via an m4-based front-end to make, which demonstrated how easy and useful (not to say necessary) it is to write such extensions under UNIX. Subsequent work on many other tools taught him the value of discipline and a healthy respect for prior art, both of which he hopes this book manages to pass along. Don got his B.A. in English from Yale University, and finds natural languages just as engaging as the programming kind. He enjoys French history, culture, and wine (not necessarily in that order).

Tan Bronson is currently director of software engineering at Hill Arts & Entertain ment, in Guilford, Connnecticut, where he works on providing ticketing to the performing arts and related industries. Tan's been working on or around UNIX systems since his exposure to Version 6 UNIX 15 years ago. On Version 6 UNIX he started writing drivers, and over the years worked his way "up to" applications. His first exposure to source code control was a homebrew system that built software that was cross-compiled on a Vax for a 68010 UNIX box, and ran on the same Vax. It quickly grew to a more "general purpose" collection of tools. Over the years he's tried to take advantage of all the good ideas he's encountered building and controlling projects, and help other people have better control over the software project they need to release and maintain. Tan got his B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Maine at Orono, and spends his spare time with his family and working on a variety of home construction projects. (Unfortunately, RCS doesn't apply to these!)

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animals featured on the cover of Applying RCS and SCCS are raccoons, mammals of the bear family. Raccoons are common throughout North America, and are also found in Central and South America. Their preferred habitat is forests or wooded areas near streams, ponds, lakes, or rivers. They use tree cavities, when available, for nesting, hiding, and wintering. The German word for raccoon, waschbar, means "washing bear," a name that comes from their habit of dipping their food in water before eating it. Berries, acorns, eggs, fish, reptiles, ducks, and muskrats are among the foods that make up a raccoon's diet.In winter raccoons enter a deep sleep, but don't truly hibernate. Their body functions barely slow down, and during relatively warm periods they will leave their nests in search of food. When the temperature drops again, they head back to their shelters.Raccoons are not communal animals. Males each have their own territory, which they mark with glandular secretions; they avoid the territory of others. In the North American raccoon the mating period is from January through April. The pair stays together for a only few days. The pregnant female builds a nest in an elevated place. After approximately 63 days of gestation, four to six young are born. The young are helpless and blind at birth, weighing about 2.5 ounces, with barely visible facial masks and tail rings. They are weaned at 16 weeks, but stay with their mothers for about one year.Raccoons in the wild have a life expectancy of approximately five years. Their predators include coyotes, foxes, red lynxes, dogs, cougars, and humans. Although raccoons make very good pets, the relationship between humans and raccoons has never been an easy one. In 1990 approximately 4 million raccoons were killed worldwide for their fur. In parts of the United States coon hunting is an old tradition. For their part, raccoons are pests to corn fields and orchards, as well as to urban and suburban neighborhoods. They are also host to 13 diseases that are transmittable to humans, the most serious being rabies. UNIX and its attendant programs can be unruly beasts. Nutshell Handbooks help you tame them....Edie Freedman designed the cover of this book, using a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. The cover layout was produced with Quark XPress 3.3 using the ITC Garamond font. The inside layout was designed by Edie Freedman, Jennifer Niederst and, and Nancy Priest. Text was prepared in SGML using the DocBook 2.1 DTD. The print version of this book was created by translating the SGML source into a set of gtroff macros using a filter developed at ORA by Norman Walsh. Steve Talbott designed and wrote the underlying macro set on the basis of the GNU troff -gs macros; Lenny Muellner adapted them to SGML and implemented the book design. The GNU groff text formatter version 1.09 was used to generate PostScript output. The text and heading fonts are ITC Garamond Light and Gara mond Book.The illustrations that appear in the book were created in Macromedia Freehand 5.0 by Chris Reilley.

Everything was clean and tidy - would thoroughly recommend this holiday let. Martin and Lesley on hand if you needed anything and very knowledgeable about the area and the numerous walks available.
Beautiful little cottage but fully loaded
A quick stay over the Christmas period to visit family and friends. Beautiful cottage packed with everything you will ever need. The owners are also wonderful, there if you need them. Situated just outside of town, you can walk 40 mins or drive in about 5 mins. Local pub 50 yards does wonderful food. Can't recommend this place enough, it was a wonderful xmas. Recommended.
Cosy, quiet cottage
We spent a week here while exploring the surrounding area. We were made to feel welcome by Martin and Lesley. The cottage is very well looked after and everything was in full working order. The town of Devizes itself had everything you could want and the Designer Outlet and Swindon is great if you fancy a bit of shopping. The surrounding area is beautiful and it was a pleasure to drive round and see the sights.
A very nice cottage
We had a very good time in the cottage, which was conform the description; nice and tasteful interior, very well equiped, maintained and well located. A pub at two minutes walking distance and Devizes and canal and locks within easy cycling distance. Driving to Bath with the cycling path to Bristol and the tunnels was a great adventure too.
Very kind owners that gave friendly service. We would definitely recommend this nice spot!

Beautiful, comfortable cottage
Leslie and Martin were so welcoming and helpful. The cottage had everything we needed to make our stay home from home. It was spotless and warm and cosy. It is very handy for visiting Avebury, Longleat, Studley Grange Butterfly farm and lots of other attractions. The pub at the end of the road (The Fox and Hounds) serves lovely food and is very welcoming. We ate at Moonrakers also which was good value for money. The market in Devizes is worth a visit. Martin and Leslie were wonderful - we can't wait to go back.

Further Details:
Devizes is a market town once being the centre for agricultural trading.
There still is a market day here and it is very lively with stalls selling anything from cheese, meat to clothes. There are restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes.
Devizes was once the focus with the filming world being 'Casterbridge' in Thomas Hardy's 'Far from the Madding Crowd' The entire market place was taken over.
Many film productions have taken place in our area. Castle Combe was used in 'Doctor Dolittle' and more recently in 'War Horse'. Lacock was used in many films such as 'Pride and Prejudice' 'Wolf Man' and the Harry Potter firms.
Too many other locations to mention.
As you can see the area has many great attractions with historical buildings, megalithic monuments and the surrounding undulating countryside.
Devizes is at one end of the Vale of Pewsey with its many white horses carved into the chalk hills.
Devizes sits on a hillside, we have a castle (privately owned). We have a canal that runs to the north of the town it rises 210 feet (65 metres) from the base with the help locks, 29 to be precise. It is a marvel to see and is being considered as one of the greatest wonders of the world.
It is fully operational with barges using it on a regular basis, and day trips can be booked from the wharf.
It was one of the important trade routes from London to Bristol. When Windsor castle suffered with fire a few years ago, stone came up the canal to help repair it.
Every Easter, the now famous Devizes to Westminster canoe race takes place.
There is a junior class for novices and a serious athletes' race which must be completed within 24 hours. Many of the country's leading rowers use this as a training exercise.
In June there is Devizes Music Festival with music of all genres in a variety of venues around the town.
This is just a snippet of what Devizes and the area can offer. The guarantee is you just can not be bored whatever the weather!

2007 Gooding & Company
1940 was the first year for the Continental. There were 351 Lincoln Continental Cabriolets produced in 1940 and this vehicle is the 305th example constructed. It was completed on May 6th of 1940 and sent to St. Louis, Missouri on May 19th of 1940. In 1995, the current owner began a restoration that would last 12 years. It has a new Haartz canvas top and tonneau cover and a complete mechanical rebuilt. It is painted in the 1940 Zephyr color of Capri Blue Metallic.
There is a 292 cubic-inch L-head engine that offers 120 horsepower. Upgrades include a cast-iron cylinder head to help prevent overheating, overdrive added to the three-speed transmission. It was added to all three gears, essentially giving the car six forward speeds. There is a modern 6-volt Optima battery built into the original Zephyr battery case.
It is believed that 60 cabriolets exist in modern times and half of those are in restored condition. This car is a full CCCA Classic.
In 2007 it was brought to the Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, California and estimated to sell for $100,000 - $125,000 and offered without reserve. Those estimates proved accurate, as the lot was sold for $110,000 including buyer's premium.

The Lincoln Motor Company was founded in 1917 by Henry Leland. Leland was the same individual who had started the Cadillac Motor Car Company in 1903 from the remains of Henry Ford's second failed attempt to start an auto company (Henry's third attempt was the Ford Motor Company). The Lincoln automobiles were very expensive, well-built, yet had rather dull styling. When the company was acquired by the Ford Motor Company in 1922, Henry Ford's son Edsel Ford used his natural design instincts to lead Lincoln to memorable and beautiful designs.
The Lincoln Continental was developed as Edsel Ford's personal one-off vehicle. Eugene T. 'Bob' Gregorie, the companies' chief stylist, was tasked with creating a custom design. It is believed that the design was created in an hour by Gregorie working from the Lincoln Zephyr. The car was elegant and had a long hood to cover the Lincoln V12 engine. There was a short trunk with what became the Continental series' trademark, the externally-mounted covered spare tire. The custom car was well received by Edsel's friends which lead to essentially hand-built production in 1939 and continuing until 1948.
This car is one of just 404 Continentals built in 1940, including 354 Cabriolets. This car was purchased by its owner at an estate sale in 2002. When purchased, it was in very poor condition. The restoration work was completed in the spring of 2008.
Town Car
While this may look like a post-war automobile, it is not. It was built in 1940 for Edsel and Eleanor Ford. Brunn & Company built a town car body for the modified Lincoln-Zephyr chassis. The body design was so attractive that several additional automobiles were built for friends of Edsel and Eleanor Ford.
Edsel died in May 1943. After his death, Mrs. Ford continued to use the car. Following World War Two the car received a complete exterior restyling.
This car has not been restored. Over the years it has been maintained, to preserve as many original features as possible.
The beautiful lines of the Lincoln-Zephyr made the transformation into the Continental design an easy one. All Continentals were essentially hand built and, naturally, production was limited.
The Continental was three inches lower than the Zephyr and its hood was seven inches longer. The earliest Continentals did not have a spare tire cover; that came later along with rear fender gravel shields and rear bumper splash shields. Power was supplied by the Lincoln-Zephyr 12-cylinder motor.
Continental interiors featured an instrument panel used in the Lincoln-Zephyr limousines that used a gold (macoid) trim that was also used on the car's interior hardware.
This car is number 111 and was finished on February 12th of 1940. It has been restored to the exact specification of the original build sheet. Restoration was completed in 2008 and has since been recognized as an excellent example by many car organizations.
When the Continental went into limited production in 1940 it was still known as a Lincoln-Zephyr - essentially a customized Lincoln-Zephyr. The cars were basically hand built.
Two body styles were available - a convertible cabriolet (shown here) and a club coupe. Production was low; 350 cabriolets were built that year and only 54 club coupes. Factory price was $2,783 for the coupe and $2,916 for the cabriolet.
The Continentals were produced by the same V-12 motor that was used in the Lincoln-Zephyrs with the exception of polished aluminum cylinder heads and manifolds and chromed acorn cylinder head nuts.
The Continental was an outgrowth of the Lincoln Zephyr series. It began life as personal transportation for Edsel Ford, but was so well received among his friends, that it found its way into production.
Bob Gregorie completed the design in November 1938. It features long low styling courtesy of a four inch section removed from the doors and body. The car appears lower, but maintains standard ground clearance to ensure drivability. The car was completed the following March, and shipped to the Ford compound in Florida where it was declared an immediate and sensational success.
In October of 1939, the car was introduced as a Lincoln Continental Zephyr. A coupe model debuted in May of 1940 and the Zephyr named was dropped in September.
In 1938, Edsel Ford requested a special convertible coupe that was 'long, low and rakish.' His designer, E.T. Gregorie, used the Zephyr chassis as the basis for the special, and sketched the outline for a two-door, four-seat body over the outline of a Zephyr sedan. Edsel was enthusiastic, and work rushed ahead to complete the one-off in time for his vacation at his home in Hobe sound, Florida. It was the hit of the Florida social scene and Edsel phoned Gregorie to say, 'I've driven this car around Palm Beach, and I could sell a thousand of them right away.' The car went into production in 1939, but it was very expensive and just over 400 were produced.
This is one of two pre-production cars. It is completely original and has been cared for by its current owner since the early 2000s.
The name 'Continental' was inspired by the 1940's Lincoln Continental powered by a large 12-cylinder engine. Bentley had used the name Continental on their model line, adding to the ambiance and prestige. In 1956 the Ford Motor Company formed the Continental Division for the production of the Mark II. Its general manager was William Clay 'Bill' Ford, son of Edsel Ford and grandson of Henry Ford. Many people associated the Continental as a Lincoln because it featured the trademark Lincoln spare-tire hump in the trunk lid and it was sold and serviced at Lincoln dealerships. Many of the mechanical components were courtesy of Lincoln such as the drivetrain. The Continental Division lasted until 1957 when it was merged with Lincoln and the Continental Mark II was added as Lincoln's flagship model. The name 'Continental' would stay with the Mark line until the introduction of the Mark VII in 1984.
There never was a model designated as a Lincoln or Continental Mark I.
The Continental Mark II had an understated beauty; it was elegant without the need to be flamboyant. Unlike the flashy American style of the time, it was very tasteful in its design. It did not use chrome, two-tone paint, or sharp styling cues to accentuate its beauty. At the front was an egg-crate style grille and straight fenders. The hood was long and curvy, perfect for concealing the 6-liter engine. Mounted on the hood and in the back was the four-pointed star that later became Lincoln's emblem. The Lincoln 368 cubic-inch V8 was matted to a Lincoln three-speed automatic transmission. The back had the signature Lincoln spare-tire hidden in the trunk lid. Though sharing many similarities with the Thunderbird, these were completely different machines. The Continentals were mostly hand made; the paint was applied multiple times and then sanded, double-lacquered, and polished.
These rolling works of art were very costly. The $10,000 sticker price was equivalent to a Rolls-Royce. Top-of-the-line American luxury brands, such as Cadillac, were selling for around $5000. Even at these high prices, Ford still lost an estimated $1,000 per car. At the time Ford was a private company and was willing to incur these losses but when Ford became a public company, losses were not permitted. A stock Mark II was $10,000 in 1956. Derham and Hess & Eisenhardt both estimated a convertible conversion to cost $18,000 to custom build. That's why there were so few Mark II convertibles.
The Continental was sold to the rich and famous. Anyone who could afford the cost was welcome. Famous buyers included Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Louie Prima, Dwight Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater, Spike Jones, Nelson Rockefeller, Henry J. Kaiser, Howard Johnson, the Shah of Iran, and many other celebrities owned them.
The Continental Mark II was debuted to the public at the Paris Motor Show in 1955. During the close of 1955, around 1300 Mark II's were sold. For the entire 1956 model year, another 1300 were sold. In 1957, around 450 were produced for a total of just over 3000. Around 1500 still exist in modern time. Only three convertibles were created.
Mark III
The Lincoln Continental Mark III was produced from 1969 through 1971. Actually, in 1958 the Continental Division of Ford tried to produce the Continental Mark III but sales and production never really materialized. The onset of the 1958 recession accelerated the demise of the Continental Division.
The 1969 Mark III was introduced in 1968 as a 1969 Model year. It was positioned to compete with Cadillac's Eldorado. The Mark III was, in many ways, a luxury version of the Ford Thunderbird. The Mark III and Thunderbird shared many mechanical components; their styling was similar and both were built at Ford's Wixom, Michigan plant. The engine was a Ford 429 enlarged to 460 cubic-inches.
In the back was the signature spare-tire bulge, though no spare-tire was housed in this enclosure. The design was rectangular and smooth. It was taller, larger, 300 pounds heavier, more powerful and luxurious than the Thunderbird. Power brakes, steering, windows, headlamps and front seats were all standard. Vinyl with cloth inserts was standard with leather being optional. The door trim panels and instrument panels were either rosewood or oak, depending on the interior color chosen.
The vinyl roof was popular, even though it was optional. Other options included a variety of radios, 8-track tape players, and air conditioning. Both front seats were power adjustable, but for an additional cost additional power adjustments could be installed. An automatic headlamp dimmer could be ordered, meaning that it would dim automatically for oncoming cars. Anti-lock brakes, cruise control, and a limited slip differential were available for an additional cost.
In its introductory year, nearly 31,000 examples were produced. Though the Eldorado had better slightly stronger sales, this was still a very respectable start for a long and successful series.
In 1970, 21,432 examples were sold. The following year, 27,091 were sold. Even though the best year was in 1968, sales had begun in 1968. Meaning that the sales sold in 1968 and 1969 were counted together.
In 1970 the vinyl roof became standard and the windshield wipers were made recessed. The interior trim was now real wood. A locking steering column was introduced. Radial tires were standard equipment.
1971 was the final production year for the Mark III. Tinted glass, SureTrak anti-lock brakes, and automatic climate-controlled air-conditioning became standard.
Mark IV
In 1972, the Lincoln Continental Mark IV was introduced and would stay in production until 1976. It was similar to its predecessor but grew in both length and width. It still shared a platform with the Thunderbird and in many respects, were similar.
There were few differences of the Mark III and the Mark IV. The Mark IV was slightly rounder, the wheel openings were a little different, and optional opera windows were installed. The grille was longer and a new bumper adorned the front of the vehicle. The popular vinyl roof was now standard. In 1973, a new federally mandated 5 mph bumper was installed.
Under the hood was a 460 cubic-inch Ford 385 Series V8 capable of producing just over 210 SAE horsepower. Power was sent to the wheels courtesy of a C6 3-speed automatic transmission.
Sales were strong for the Mark IV with the lowest production year being in 1975 with 47,145 units sold. 1973 was the strongest year for sales with 69,437. With total sales amounting to 278,559 for the five years of production, the average total sales per year was 55719.
1976 had strong sales partly because of the newly introduced Designer Series. These were special edition Mark IV that were given color, trim and interior choices by famous designers. The designers' signature was placed on the opera windows and a 22 karat gold plated plaque could be found on the instrument panel. The gold plaque could be engraved with the original owners' name.
There were four designer editions offered: Bill Blass Edition, Cartier Edition, Givenchy Edition, and Pucci Edition. The Bill Blass Edition was dark blue with cream accents; the Cartier Edition was dove grey; The Givenchy Edition was aqua blue; and the Pucci Edition was in red and silver.
Mark V
In 1977, In Lincoln Continental Mark V replaced the Mark IV, and would stay in production for only three years, ending in 1979.
In comparison to its predecessor, it was rounder, longer and wider and no longer built on a Ford Thunderbird platform. The engine was downgraded to a Ford 400 cubic-inch small-block engine. The Ford 385 460 cubic-inch was available, except in California, as optional equipment until 1978.
The Continental Mark V was a big and heavy car. It averaged 7 mpg under normal driving conditions and 3.5 mpg under full acceleration. Ford was close to violating the Corporate Average Fuel Economy law so in 1980, a smaller Continental was introduced.
Mark VI
The Lincoln Mark VI was introduced in 1980 and stayed in production until 1983. It was smaller version of its predecessor with minor design revisions. The headlight covers and steering wheel were new. Under the hood was a 5-liter eight-cylinder engine. With the reduced weight and a smaller engine, fuel economy improved.
Mark VII
The Lincoln Continental Mark VII, later just called the Mark VII, was introduced in 1984 and produced until 1991. The Mark VII sat atop the Ford Fox platform, had originally been used for the Ford Fairmont and Mercury Zephyr.
From 1984 through 1985, a special edition Versace Designer Edition could be ordered. A Bill Blass Designer Edition was produced from 1984 through 1992. The Luxury Sport Coupe was produced from 1984 through 1992 while the LSC SE was produced from 1990 through 1992.
The Mark VII continued the ambiance set-forth by its predecessors. Leather seating and all-power options were standard. This included a computer message center, digital instruments, keyless entry and more. The luxury sport coupe (LSC) version after 1986 was did not receive all these amenities.
The ride was smooth thanks in part to a full airbag suspension and electronic ride control system. Power was sent to the wheels courtesy of a four-speed automatic transmission. Under the hood was a 5-liter High Output SEFI or throttle body fuel injected V8 capable of producing nearly 230 horsepower. In 1998 the horsepower was further increased after the throttle body was enlarged and better flowing cylinder heads were adapted.
The Mark VII had electronic 4-channel antilock brakes and composite headlights; the first American vehicle to use these features.
Mark VIII
The Mark VIII was the next iteration in the long line of the Mark Series. It was produced from 1993 through 1998. The base 2-door coupe was powered by a 4.6 liter DOHC V8 producing 280 horsepower while the LSC models produced 290 horsepower. The LSC model versions, produced from 1995 to 1996 was the first American vehicle to be equipped with HID headlights. The 1997 through 1998 LSC models continued the HID headlights but with larger housings.
Slow sales resulted in the cancellation of this luxury car series. A Lincoln MK9 Concept was introduced in the early 2000's, but plans of production seem doubtful.

Canon EOS Rebel T2i
REVIEW DATE : March 26, 2010
PROS: Top-notch images. 18-MP resolution. Low noise levels through ISO 3200. Largest and sharpest LCD available on a D-SLR. Multiple HD video-capture modes. Manual exposure control available during video capture. Compatible with SDXC memory cards. HDMI-CEC support.
Canon has done it again. Last year the Canon EOS Rebel T1i ($899.99, ) along with the Nikon D5000 ($729.95, ) led the D-SLR revolution by being the first sub-$1,000 models to offer high-definition video. Capture is limited to 720p, but both cameras are capable of broadcast-quality video. The new EOS Rebel T2i ($899.pp list with 18-55mm IS kit lens) is Canon's update to the T1i, and is currently the only sub-$1,000 D-SLR to offer 1080p30, 1080p24 and 720p60 HD video capture. Its spectacular image quality, versatile video recording options, and relatively low price earn the T2i our Editors' Choice award and makes it one of our 10 best digital cameras.
Design and Features
The body of the T2i looks much like the T1i. Both cameras are similar in size, with the T2i measuring 3.8 by 5.1 by 3 inches (HWD). The T2i weighs 1.6 lbs with its included 18-55mm lens, and 1.14 lbs without. The body is smaller than the 7D, however, sacrificing controls like the large scroll wheel that makes cruising through menus such a pleasure on the 7D. Instead, button layouts look more like a compact point and shoot camera, with up, down, left and right buttons. This layout worked just fine for me, however, and the T2i is still comfortable to hold.
The T2i's 3-inch LCD is the largest and sharpest display on any D-SLR camera to date, offering VGA resolution (1.04 million dots). The top-of-the-line $4,999 Canon EOS-1D Mark IV has a 920K-dot LCD screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio, measuring 1.75 by 2.38 inches (HW), while the T2i's display has a 3:2 aspect ratio and measures 1.75 by 2.5 (HW) inches.
Canon sticks with the same user interface (UI) on all of its Rebel cameras, which is nearly identical to its mid-range and professional line. The UI is simple and intuitive, but you need to be familiar with D-SLRs in order to use many of the camera's features. (An Auto mode is offered for beginners, however.) D-SLR cameras from Sony offer even more intuitive user interfaces, going as far as to teach beginners to use some of the cameras' advanced featuresthe Sony Alpha DSLR-A230 ($549.99, ) features this interface. Olympus also makes a similar attempt with its new Micro Four thirds camera, the E-PL1 ($599.99, ).
Performance Tests
After testing the T2i using the Imatest suite in PC Labs, I found the image quality comparable to the 7D. The 18-55mm kit lens that ships with the T2i produced very sharp images, slightly sharper than the 17-85mm lens I used when testing the 7D. At the T2i's sharpest f-stop (f/5.6), the camera averaged 2,296; 2,258; and 1,885 lines per picture height at ISO 100, 200 and 400, respectively. The Canon 7D averaged 1,999; 1,975; and 1,882 lines at the same ISO sensitivities.
Also like the 7D, the T2i can shoot at up to ISO 6400, but our test results indicated that images shot at ISO 6400 showed distracting amounts of noise. You can shoot at ISO 3200 without noticeable noise, however. In this regard, the camera truly excels, letting you shoot without the flash in low-light situations.
HD Video Capture
Video captured with the T2i is suitable for professional use, and advanced options (such as manual control of shutter speed, aperture, etc.) make this an excellent choice for pros. Other photographers may prefer the intuitive feel of a camcorder, howeverusing a D-SLR to capture video can be difficult, considering that D-SLR cameras were originally designed with still photography in mind, not video. As a result, the built-in microphone often picks up lens noise, and autofocus is very sluggish while recording video (or capturing stills in live view mode), since the otherwise speedy phase detection AF system is bypassed in these modes. The only cameras to overcome this hurdle are Micro Four Thirds models, including the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 ($899.95, ) and the Olympus E-PL1 ($599.99, ).
Unlike the 7D, which shoots to CF memory cards, the T2i can write to SD/SDHC memory cards. In fact, the T2i is the first Canon Rebel to offer support for SDXC cards, which are identical in physical size to SD cards but theoretically will be able to store up to 2 terabytes of data while achieving read and write speeds of up to 300 Mbps. SDXC cards have a long way to go before they live up to their full potential, howevercards are currently only available in 48 and 64 GB sizes with 10Mbps read and write speeds, and prices are exorbitant.
The T2i includes mini-HDMI and mini-USB portsthe inclusion of these standard ports means you won't need to search high and low to find a replacement, especially when traveling overseas, where proprietary cables will likely not be available. The mini-HDMI port also supports Consumer Electronics Control (CEC)if your HDTV also supports this feature, your television remote will be able to control the camera without the need for programming. Also, when you power on the camera, your HDTV will power on and switch to the corresponding input the T2i is plugged into. When the camera is turned off, it will turn off the HDTV too.
At $899, the Canon EOS Rebel T2i is an extraordinary value. It offers excellent image quality and all of the mainstream HD video recording resolutions. Overall, the majority of the T2i's improvements over its predecessor are video-related, though. So if HD video versatility is not a priority for you, consider purchasing a Canon T1i or Nikon D5000both cameras can shoot 720p HD video and have come down in price since they were released, making them a better value for photographers primarily interested in shooting stills.

For Tigers ace Justin Verlander, it's not all about velocity
DETROIT – As a young pitcher growing up in central Virginia, Justin Verlander showed a lot of the same skills he has displayed as the probable American League Cy Young Award winner.
He wants the ball when the game is on the line. According to his father, Richard Verlander, young Justin had the same bulldog approach. You had to pry the ball out of his hand. But when he got into trouble, his natural instinct was to throw harder.
Now 28, Verlander has begun to realize that his stuff is sometimes so good that he doesn't have to give 100% effort. This season, his approach to pitching has evolved to where he tries to focus on his location to start the game — at the expense of velocity.

"I want to throw 91, 92, 93, hit my spots," he says. "Early in the game, I can't focus on pitch counts. I go back to work on rhythm and mechanics."
Conserving energy early in the game helps him have enough in reserve that he can still hit triple digits when it matters most.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland admitted he was a little worried when Verlander hit 98mph on the stadium radar gun and gave up two first-inning runs to the New York Yankees on Monday.
"He got in trouble early, and he had to amp up. I was concerned about that but he got through it," Leyland said.
Verlander can hit 100 mph at any point from the game's first pitch to the last. But it's not something he necessarily wants to do.
Verlander said he feels he has been "blessed with this ability" but is still learning how to take advantage of it.
"There were times early in his career when he would overthrow," Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski says. "He realizes now that throwing harder isn't always the solution. If you can throw 93 to 95 on the outside corner enough and you have a plus curve and a plus changeup, that's pretty good.
"Of course, when you dial it up to 100 when you need it, that's good, too."
In the middle innings of Game 3, the Yankees got a taste of Verlander at his best.
Over a nine-batter stretch from the fourth to the seventh inning, he recorded seven of his 11strikeouts, using a dazzling display of blazing fastballs, knee-buckling curves and baffling changeups.
Verlander was still hitting triple digits in the seventh, but a walk and a hit batter — followed by Brett Gardner turning around a 100-mph heater for a game-tying, two-run double — pulled the Yankees even.
"I make a conscious effort not to change my game plan," Verlander said. "That's why I was a little disheartened to give up those two runs in the seventh."
Yet he was able to bear down and strike out Derek Jeter to end the threat.
When the Tigers went ahead on Delmon Young's solo home run, there was no question whether or not Verlander would get another chance to protect the lead.
"Skip has the utmost faith in me and I appreciate that," Verlander said. "He let me go back out there for the eighth. Got through the heart of the lineup."
