There are many versions of this classic chicken stew nowadays. It's thought to have been created by a chef to celebrate Napoleon's victory at Marengo. My version, which doesn't claim to be the original, is a favourite in our house and that's good enough for me! Serve with rice.
Chicken Marengo Haiku: "Made as directed, but didn't use bone, skin chick. I'm that kind of chick." I followed the recipe as written, but used BSCB. It surprised me how much we all liked it, although my youngest girlies didn't like the mushrooms nor the tomatoes, but since it called for whole canned tomatoes, they were simple to avoid. Sauce was a bit on the watery side, but serving over rice allowed by maximum absorption. (Wow, why was that word so hard to spell?) - 15 Dec 2015 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I followed the recipe as directed but removed the skin and fat. I like it. Thought it was going to be chicken cacciatore in flavour but it wasn't. Very nice - 14 Aug 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

Sometimes, you make bad choices.
Sometimes, bad choices are made for you.
Ned "Crash" Aiken thought he had made a clean break. He had turned on his biker brothers in the Sons of Satan and entered the FBI's witness protection program, only to end up in a different kind of prison, one of mediocre work and cheap apartments. He then fell in with the Russian mob, learning their brutal code first-hand and fleeing their organization when the stakes got too high. Between the FBI, the Sons, and the Russians, there are a lot of people who want to get their hands on the innocent-looking ex-drug trafficker.
Now he's in Mexico, trying to go straight and stay alive. But Mexico isn't like the United States. It isn't even like it used to be in its heyday as a playground for wealthy gringos to vacation or college kids to party on the cheap. Ned is no stranger to drugs, violence, and brutality, and what he sees in Mexico he can only try to ignore.
But even while Ned tries his best to mind his own business, he is forced back into the underworld against his will. He finds himself at the mercy of a cartel and its notorious leader, and now the game is just about survival. But how can you play the game when there are no rules?
From the author of the best-selling Gangland, a searing read about the Mexican cartels, Dead Biker is a disturbing story about immense power and indiscriminate brutality, and lives held hostage in more ways than one.

Very Good Story
- Stouffer
Could not stop listening!!!
everything to be honest. The narration was amazing.
When "Ned" founds a youtube clip that was meant for him to find.
He really really really makes this book come to life. He is now my favored Narrator by far. It was like he was living the book where normally you can feel the narrator "reading" the book but not Christian Rummel, great reading mate!
Yes i did, it took me on a rollercaoster ride with my reaction not allowing me to really picket which side of the fence i was on in regards to "Ned" as a person.
It has its sad moments for sure and funny times but when its said and done its a very eye opening experience
Highly recommend!

The Pinterest Challenge is one of our favorite things on the blog. We shared a $3 pillow makeover and loved seeing what other people are working on and of course getting ideas for our own future projects! Here are 5 of our favorites:
1. String Art I don't know if I have the patience for this, but I sure love this project from Our First Nest.
2. Sisal trivet I have some trivets I could try this from Hi Sugarplum on, but I also want to experiment with coasters.
3. Zinc letters Adam and I saw letters like this at Anthropologie and debated getting some for the baby room, but at $18 a piece we decided not to. I'm glad we didn't! I love this knock-off from Pondered Primed Perfected.4. Growth chart ruler I'm definitely adding this project from The Jolly James to my list of ideas for the baby room. 5. Starburst mirror Brittany from Bright Little House knocked this one out of the park!

What is branch retinal vein occlusion?
A branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is a blockage of one of the small blood vessels that drains blood from the retina. The retina is the light-sensitive nerve tissue lining the back of the eye.
Like film in a video camera, the retina continually "takes pictures". When a retinal vein becomes blocked, part of the retinal vein becomes blocked, part of the retinal blood flow slows or stops. Suddenly and usually without warning, a patch of retina loses some of its "picture-taking" function, and you may be aware that part of your field of vision has darkened.
Why is vision lost?
Normally, the retina is nourished by oxygen-rich blood that is brought to it by arteries and drained away by veins. When a vein - a drainage channel - is blocked, blood backs up, leading to bleeding and swelling (edema) in the retina and hampering its nourishment.
The extent of damage and the visual symptoms produced depend on the size of the blocked vein and its exact location. If the blockage occurs toward the peripheral part of the retina, you may hardly notice it. But if it occurs in or near the macula - the central zone of the retina that is critical for sharp vision - and causes it to swell, vision is likely to be reduced or distorted.
A more serious threat to vision can develop later from a complication called neovascularization, new blood vessel growth. A month or more after the BRVO, new blood vessels may begin to appear in the retina, as if they were trying to renourish it. These are not normal blood vessels, however, they are very fragile and bleed easily. They are dangerous to the eye because they can lead to still other problems that damage vision.
Neovascularization only occurs in about one in five BRVO patients. New blood vessel growth in your eye should be treated before causing harm. In most cases there are no warning symptoms; but occasionally there are, such as the sudden appearance of new floaters (translucent specks that move about in your field of vision) or a sudden decrease in vision. Often, your ophthalmologist will detect the neovascularization before you notice any symptoms.
What causes a vein occlusion?
Several factors combine to bring on an occlusion. The usual situation is that the blood flow in a retinal vein is slowed down and a clot forms. The clot prevents blood from flowing freely. The blood is back logged and spills into the retina.
The most common reason for slowed venous blood flow is a hardened artery (arteriosclerosis). If a stiff artery happens to lie across a vein and compresses the vein, the flow of blood in that vein stops, in the same way that a log across a stream can obstruct the flow of water.
Hypertension, high blood pressure, is the most common association with central vein occlusions.
Other conditions that can lead to a BRVO are glaucoma, diabetes mellitus, lupus, and some blood conditions. Medication such as oral contraceptives have been associated with branch retinal vein occlusions.
The examination:
- You will have a complete eye examination and vision test. Your pupils will be dilated (enlarged) with eye drops so the insides of both eyes can be studied. An ophthalmoscope and slit lamp (clinical microscope) are instruments used for looking inside the eyes; they are especially useful for studying the retina and its blood supply.
- Retinal photographs may be taken to help determine the extent of the problem. An angiogram (photographs of blood vessels) may also be made. For this test, an orange-colored dye (fluorescein) is injected into a vein in your arm and immediately followed by as series of retinal photographs that track the dye and time the flow of blood through the eye. The angiogram helps identify the exact site of the vein's blockage, the extent of damage to capillaries (the smallest retinal blood vessels), and whether or not neovascularization has developed.
- Because BRVO can be associated with medical conditions that affect the rest of the body (high blood pressure, for example, which also increases the risk of a heart attack or stroke), you may be referred to an internist or family physician for a complete check-up after your eye examination.
How is branch retinal vein occlusion treated?
Once a BRVO has occurred, there is no simple way to speed the healing process along. Eventually, over several months, the blocked vein may re-open on its own, or some nearby blood vessels (called colaterals) may develop and reroute the blood flow around the site of blockage. Either of these may help restore at least part of the lost retinal function.
If neovascularization develops, a type of laser surgery called panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) can help reduce or even eliminate the abnormal blood vessels. PRP is not intended to improve vision directly. The laser reduces the risk of further vision loss from vitreous bleeding.
PRP is performed on an outpatient basis and is usually painless. It consists of making hundreds of tiny laser burns in and around the damaged part of the retina. If the neovascularization does not respond to this treatment, additional laser PRP can be applied.
After a BRVO, the central retina (macula) sometimes remains swollen for months, reducing vision significantly. To help minimize the mascular swelling, another type of laser treatment (called grid-pattern) can sometimes be used. Its risks and intended results, however , are distinctly different from the laser PRP technique used for treating neovascularization.
What is the prognosis?
Not all BRVO cause vision loss. If vision is reduced initially, it has some potential for returning, perhaps even to its previous level, over the next few months.
But even if some reduced vision remains, the degree of impairment may not be severe in most cases.
Regular follow-up examinations are important to protect your eyesight. Your eyes should be checked regularly for potential late complications, such as neovascularization or mascular edema, and for the development of a second vascular occlusion in the other eye.

Re-evaluating Hedging Performance
Mixed results have been documented for the performance of hedging strategies using futures. This paper reinvestigates this issue using an extensive set of performance evaluation metrics across seven international markets. We compare the hedging performance of short and long hedgers using traditional variance based approaches together with modern risk management techniques including Value at Risk, Conditional Value at Risk and approaches based on Downside Risk. Our findings indicate that using these metrics to evaluate hedging performance, yields differences in terms of best hedging strategy as compared with the traditional variance measure. We also find significant differences in performance between short and long hedgers. These results are observed both in-sample and out-of-sample.

NEW chair of the Association of Women Solicitors Alison Parkinson has stressed her commitment to getting more women to the top of the profession.
More than 50 per cent of entrants into the profession are now women and the association, which has increased its membership by over 1,500 in the last year to 8,000, now has 25 per cent of all women solicitors as members. But at a senior level, figures from the Law Society show that of solicitors of 10 to 19 years in practice, 54 per cent of women have reached partnership level compared to 79 per cent of men.
Parkinson said: "These figures are proof of the set minds of the people at the very top which tend to be older and male. I would like to see women who have made it encouraging younger women with advice and assistance."
To learn about other approaches of getting women to the top, Parkinson plans to forge contacts with women lawyer groups abroad.
She said: "Women in the American legal profession have always used a more aggressive approach than us towards equal opportunities."

A Fight Over Wood Means Lots Of Splinters
In the recent cybersquatting dispute of Greenply Industries Limited v. Matthew Poston WIPO Case No. D2010-1748, November 29, 2010, single member panel was face with a dispute over the domain www.greenply.net. Complainant is a supplier of plywood and laminate to the Indian market and has multiple Indian trademark registrations. Complainant also maintains a website at www.greenply.com. Respondent registered the disputed domain in October 2008 and filed a Response to the dispute. Respondent filed for a U.S. trademark registration for the mark GREENPLY in February 2008, and it was published for opposition in July 2008. Respondent argued that since the USPTO had moved the application to publication, he believed that the registration of the domain was not in bad faith.
According to paragraph 4(a) of the ICANN UDRP Policy, for this Complaint to succeed in relation to the Domain Name, the Complainant must prove each of the following, namely that: (i) The Domain Name is identical or confusingly similar to a trade mark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights; and (ii) The Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name; and (iii) The Domain Name was registered and is being used in bad faith.
The Panel quickly addressed the first element, noting that the domain was identical to Complainant's mark. The case turned on the second prong. The Panel noted that Complainant failed to present evidence demonstrating business in the U.S. prior to the Respondent's registration of the domain. Additionally the Panel notes there was nothing in the record to indicate that Respondent's intention to target Complainant's brand. The Panel further rejected any contention that there has been confusion based upon a lack of evidence presented.
The Panel did not address the third prong in light of finding that Respondent established rights or legitimate interests in the domain. Ultimately the Panel DENIED the request for transfer.

People, Culture and the Arts
The Isnegs, Ilocanos, and Itawits form the majority of the people living in the province of Apayao. The Isnegs are the indigenous people of the province and are interchangeably referred as Apayaos. The term "Isneg" was derived from a combination of "is" meaning "recede" and "uneg" meaning "interior". Thus, it means people who have gone into the interior. The Ilocanos inhabit the river valleys and plains and most migrated into the region in the last fifty years. Up until recently, the Isnegs were slash and burn agriculturists. They have increasingly abandoned the practice and have adopted intensive rice cultivation in stead. The Isneg are noted basket and mat weavers and the womenfolk trade their products for cloth, pots and materials from Ilocano traders. Isneg women have been known to favor colorful garments for their traditional costumes, which consist of both small and large wrap-around pieces of cloth called the aken. The smaller piece is used as everyday wear, while the large one is reserved for ceremonial occasions. They also wear the badio, a short-waisted, long-sleeved blouse, which is either plain or heavily embroidered. Menfolk, on the other hand, are traditionally clothed in dark-colored (often plain blue) G-string called abag, which on special occasions is adorned with an iput – a lavishly colored tail attached to the back end. Isneg oral tradition is rich with folk riddles. Many of these structurally simple but elegant two liners with a few syllables and rhymed at the end, present a riddle. Some Isnegs possess skills in traditional and oral arts, such as the magpayaw (shouters), the singers of the oggayam, and the debaters who joust with anenas (oral poetry). There are others held in esteem as musicians such as those who display prowess in playing the difficult gorabil, a bamboo violin.

ANDREA SEABROOK, host:
Welcome back to All Things Considered from NPR News. I'm Andrea Seabrook. Dave Savage has been living with just one hand for 35 years because of a workplace accident. Now, thanks to a hand transplant, he's teaching scientists new things about the human brain. See, this Michigan man can feel things with his new hand because his brain seems to be rewiring itself. NPR's Richard Knox has a story.
RICHARD KNOX: Dave Savage, who's 56, says he wakes up every morning happy to realize that he has two hands again.
Mr. DAVID SAVAGE: It's like you're waking up from a bad dream. You've had this dream all night long, you know, like you are falling or whatever. And you wake up, and you're just laying in bed. It's that kind of feeling.
KNOX: He was 19 when his right hand was mangled in a metal-stamping machine. He's lived most of his life with a hook in place of a hand. Then, almost two years ago, he became the third American to get a hand transplant from a cadaver donor. His new hand is still gaining strength, but he puts it to good use.
Mr. SAVAGE: I can swing a hammer. I can throw a football. I can throw a baseball. I couldn't do that with a hook. The everyday things in life, turn doorknobs, you know, turn on light switches.
KNOX: When a limb is amputated, the parts of the brain that control it and register feeling, hot and cold, pressure and pain, go blank. It's almost like deleting a computer program. Gradually, the brain uses that empty real estate for other things. Experts have long assumed that this brain reorganization is irreversible, especially years after an amputation. But Savage is proving them wrong. Neuroscientist Scott Frey of the University of Oregon is studying Savage's brain. He says it's remodeling itself again.
Dr. SCOTT FREY (Department of Psychology, University of Oregon): What was remarkable is really that, after 35 years of complete deprivation, this sensory map of the hand could be that reversible in a mere four months after a hand transplant.
KNOX: The findings are in the journal Current Biology. Frey thinks, whatever brain functions took over that blank area have gone back to where they belong. Now, Savage is only one patient, but researchers think the fact that his middle-aged brain could rewire itself this way has big implications, for instance, for the design of better artificial limbs.
Dr. FREY: We're entering a really exciting era right now, where the ability to marry technology to the human brain is becoming a very real thing.
KNOX: Frey thinks the brain's newfound flexibility might lead to prostheses that function more naturally and maybe even have a sense of touch. Dr. Warren Breidenbach is the surgeon at Jewish Hospital in Louisville who did Savage's hand transplant. He sees other implications.
Dr. WARREN BREIDENBACH (Surgeon, Jewish Hospital, Louisville): It means that a stroke victim who has lost the ability to function could possibly recapture it as long as the brain was not scarred or actually dead tissue.
KNOX: Maybe even years after a stroke. Hand transplant patients get intense and long lasting physical therapy. That may be one reason their brains recover so well. Breidenbach also thinks the brain's ability to adapt might one day open the door for people born without a hand.
Dr. BREIDENBACH: So, here's the question. If someone is born without a hand, and I put a new hand on, will they be able to feel? The first step of answering that question would be doing patients like Mr. Savage.
KNOX: Researchers may soon have more patients like Dave Savage to study. 44 hands have been transplanted around the world so far, almost all with good success. Breidenbach says some U.S. centers are gearing up to do more. One reason may be the growing number of military amputees. It's no accident that much of this research is funded by the Department of Defense. Richard Knox, NPR News.

Landing on Mars is difficult and not always successful. Well-designed advance testing helps. An ambitious NASA Mars rover mission set to launch in 2020 will rely on a special parachute to slow the spacecraft down as it enters the Martian atmosphere at over 12,000 mph (5.4 kilometers per second). Preparations for this mission have provided, for the first time, dramatic video of the parachute opening at supersonic speed. The Mars 2020 mission will seek signs of ancient Martian life by investiga...
US Navy Accepts 5th LM-Built MUOS Satellite for New Secure Global Military Cellular Network
Thu, 16 Nov 2017 15:07:00 +0100

Frelinghuysen's visit capped several weeks of study by Heller's students of the United States government, including the election process and enactment of laws. During the course of study, students conducted political campaigns, primaries and elections and wrote bills and held legislative sessions. Some proposals included modification of classroom rules to permit added recess, ice cream parties and a project for the needy. Frelinghuysen spoke of "the privilege of representing the 630,000 constituents of District 11" and share his aim to provide timely responses to inquiries to his offices in Washington, D.C., and New Jersey. The Congressman also described to the students his "sense of awe" at working in Washington, meeting U.S. Presidents, visiting the White House and traveling on Air Force One.
Students were given the opportunity to examine an electronic card used by Frelinghuysen for voting in Congress and to pose questions.
The Congressman encouraged the youngsters to some day run for office and to serve their community.

Food Network Marketing is a complete system of how to make money online using the most important two variables that anyone must have today to be successful. First, they must have a product that everyone must consume daily. Food fits that criteria and we have a most unique new category of food that cannot be found in your local grocery or health food stores. And, secondly, you must have a marketing system that is easy and free and can be learned in 30 seconds by anyone and then applied quickly online to find new customers and distributors. We give you such a simple yet effect system that produces people who come to you in your email to ask you for your product. No selling required. You merely take them to your website and then let them decide to join you or not.
Today, because there are no more jobs being created anywhere in the world in the numbers that are needed, an individual is far better off creating their own job online because it puts food on the table immediately. No more fruitless job interviews that cost time and money. No more wearing suits and ties, you can work online in your pajamas all day if you choose to. No more having to get in your car and suffocate on the exhaust fumes of the 10 million cars that just drove ahead of you, spraying you in the face with toxic fumes. No more having to listen to a boss who is dumb as a post. You become your own boss and achieve financial freedom very quickly if you follow our formula. The formula presented here for online business success will apply to anyone in any business or profession online. However, when applied with our unique line of food products and health additives that we add to our food, there is no competition and therefore your success is guaranteed as long as you work at it every day.

After Viet Nam and taxes, the hottest subject in Washington last week was bugs the electronic, not the crawling variety. Concerned about convictions that may have been obtained with evidence illegally gathered by electronic eavesdropping, the Justice Department was reviewing all federal cases in which bugging might have been used. Lawyers argued that evidence against former Senate Aide Bobby Baker had been gathered by electronic devices; officials admitted that the FBI has been bugging the Dominican embassy since the 1950s; the Supreme Court agreed to rule on the constitutionality of a New York state law that permits police to bug suspects with court approval. And even as the debate raged over the moral and legal implications of electronic bugs, the bugs themselves were growing more versatile and harder to detect.
Working with space-age circuitry and components, engineers have designed new snoopers that are marked improvements on the cigarette-pack transmitters, the spike mikes and the phone taps of a few years ago (TIME, March 6, 1964). Today's bugs rival the imaginative equipment of James Bond novels or the TV fantasies of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Darts & Lights. Manhattan-based Continental Telephone Supply Co., Inc., a leader in the bug-and anti-bugging business, proudly advertises a postage-stamp-size, transistorized "007 Spy Transmitter" that can pick up whispered conversations and broadcast them to a conventional radio receiver located nearby. The 007 is powered by a tiny nickel-cadmium or mercury battery that will last for 60 hours. Another Continental bug looks like an exact copy of a telephone microphone. But substituted for that mike in a standard telephone, it operates indefinitely on the phone's own current and transmits both sides of any telephone conversation to a special receiver as far as 400 ft. away. Continental also offers a 4-in. dart transmitter that can be fired from a carbon-dioxide-powered dart gun into an area otherwise inaccessible to the bugger. Built to withstand the shock of impact, it will embed itself in a wall or tree, pick up nearby sound and radio it back over a range of 300 ft.
Even as space-age missiles fostered the development of antimissiles, electronic bugs have already spawned a variety of anti-bugs. Continental's most advanced detector is a highly specialized AM and FM receiver rigged with red and green warning lights and an automatically rotating antenna. In a bugged room, its circuits will lock on to offending transmitters, its warning lights will blink and its antenna will point at the bug. Another detector resembles a small transistor radio, but the high-pitched whine from its speaker dies down as its whip antenna is swept toward a hidden bug. For those who do not want to bother locating bugs, a scrambling device concealed in a fountain pen can generate static in any radio-frequency bug within 100 ft., making it impossible for an electronic eavesdropper to listen to or record any transmission.

The Historic Cua Can River On Phu Quoc Island Vietnam
The Cua Can River, "rach Cua Can", is a large river system located in Cua Can Village that flows into the Gulf of Thailand on the Western part of Phú Quốc. Historically it is known as the river where Nguyen Trung Truc's boat had been sunk in a fierce battle with the French. That boat has since been recovered and the river is now slowly becoming a major "eco-tourism" attraction.
Along the banks of the Cua Can river you will find local fishermen who have taken up residence along the riverside as well as a few fish farms. The river is best explored early in the morning where you will spot a variety of wildlife including the famed Hornbill.[responsive][/responsive]
[hr style="2″ margin="20px 0px 20px 0px"]
Cua Can River Tours
There are many ways to explore the mighty Cua Can river on Phu Quoc Island. You can join one of the many river boat cruises, tours, or rent a kayak/canoe/stand up paddle-board (SUP) and paddle up the river yourself.
Cua Can river tours are offered by most of the tour agencies found on the island. For a more local experience you can contact this tour operator located next to the river:[responsive][/responsive]

I know they use transformers on power polls and transformer stations along the power line grid to boost the electricity along the way. I was wondering if it's possible to use a transformer/s between the wall socket and electrical device to reduce electrical consumption from the grid while still supplying enough wattage to run the device. Or will the transformer just increase voltage while consuming wattage?
An example of what I mean is a 500 watt window AC unit running 24 hours a day will cost $1.20 a day to run (using the national average of 10 cents per kilowatt hr), $36 a month. Would it be possible to use a transformer between the AC unit and wall outlet to reduce the actual wattage consumed from the grid, while still being able to supply 500 watts the AC unit consumes?
If so, that could reduce the actual electrical cost of heating and cooling devices, as well as artificial light fixtures by reducing the wattage consumed from the grid.
@HomeHydro. What you are looking for is a perpetuum mobile I guess Transformers reduce or increase the voltage. Power is a product of voltage and current. So if you reduce the voltage, the current needs to increase to supply the same amount of energy (= power x time).
Hello Peperoni, What I wondering is if there is a way to reduce electrical costs (wattage consumption) through hardware. I don't mean solar panels or wind turbines, but solid state devices.

Redoute's Choice colt makes A$1.2 million
SPIRITED bidding for the progeny of some of Australia's best racemares breathed new life into the Magic Millions yearling sale in Queensland on Friday.¶
Taking the sale back into seven-figure territory on day three was a (yet another) well-bred colt by the country's most expensive stallion, Redoute's Choice. Out of the six-time winning, Group 1 mare Kapchat, the Widden Stud offering is a three-quarters brother to the high-class, 10-time winning Group 3 sprinter Kaphero and the Listed winner Princessa.
Local buyers Devitt and Gordon Investments paid A$1.2 million (€620,000 / £554,265) and although the same names were on the buyer's list for the same colt when knocked down for $630,000 at last year's Magic Million National Weanling Sale, it is likely new partners will now come into the ownership.
Encosta de Lago daughter sells privately
The colt stood alone in the millionaire class with the next best being a A$750,000 (€387,000 / £346,000) filly by champion Australian sire Encosta De Lago and a daughter of the Oaks winner Larrocha, herself a sister to Victoria Derby winner Blackfriars as well as the high-class winners Manton, Waterford Road and Lions Gate.¶
The filly was not sold in the ring at A$850,000, but changed hands privately soon after with Kieren Moore Bloodstock securing her on behalf of a south-east Asian client.¶
Mark Player takes home choice lot
A highly anticipated lot in the thirdsession was a colt by Coolmore's star resident stallion Encosta De Lago out of the Golden Slipper Stakes winner Merlene. Offered by Coolmore, he is a brother to the South African stakes winner Merlene De Lago.¶
After bidding opened at a promising A$200,000, it ran out of steam at the A$510,000 (€263,000 /£235,000) offered by Mark Player on behalf of the Hong Kong Jockey Club.¶
Average respectable but 12 per cent down
There has been solid support for horses above the A$200,000 mark which has helped to maintain the average for the first three sessions at a respectable level of A$134,711 (€69,000 /£61,000) for the 420 lots sold. However, although the average is still 12 per cent below last year's figure of A$152,704 for the equivalent sessions. The clearance rate is 79 per cent compared with 83 per cent achieved in 2008.
Waterhouse spend tops A$6 million
Sydney's champion trainer Gai Waterhouse is clearly the biggest spender both numerically and by total outlay as she has bought 21 yearlings for A$6.015 million (€3.1million / £2.7 milli0n), including the sale-topping A$2 million Encosta De Lago colt purchased on day one.¶
She has spent nearly three-time more than the next biggest buyer the Hong Kong Jockey Club which has bought17 colts for a tick over A$3 million (€1.5 million /£1.3 million) . Anthony Cummings has also bought 17 lots but for A$750,000 less than the HKJC.
Badgers, Blandford and BBA Ireland active for Europe
Among the other international buyers, BBA Ireland bought two further lots and has now parted with A$470,000 (€242,000 / £217,000) for three yearlings, the Newmarket-based Blandford Bloodstock has spentA$540,000 (€279,000 / £249,000) on two colts and Grant Pritchard-Gordon's Badgers Bloodstock has picked up two fillies for A$320,000 (€165,000 / £148,000).
No doubts about the leading sire
In the battle to be the sale's leading stallion, and Redoute's Choice and Coolmore Stud's Encosta De Lago have the race to themselves, though the Arrowfield Stud stallion's average, who has been responsible for three million dollar-plus yearlings, is some A$150,000 (€77,000 / £69,000) more than the Coolmore-based sire.
Progress is good
Magic Millions managing director David Chester reported that he is happy with the progress of the sale.
"The whole sale has been a lot better than expected," Chester said."It has shown the way for the rest of the sale to follow and things haven't been as bad as everyonethought. The top 100 horses in the sale wouldn't have made anymore last year.
"Let's not kid ourselves - the sale is still down, but the pleasing thing is that the clearance rate is getting close to 80 per cent and hopefully tomorrow night we might crack that mark.
"There will be an electric atmosphere here, but the average will drop further. However, the buying bench has been very good and a lot of them - the Japanese in particular - can't believe how strong the sale has been."

Our BTU (British Thermal Units) calculator will help you to work out the heat requirement for your room, and recommend the number of radiators you will need to comfortably heat it.
What is a BTU?
A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a measure of heat output from a radiator. Depending on the size of your room, the number and type of windows and what the room is used for, you'll need more or less heat. If you have a higher BTU requirement, it might be better to use more than one radiator to deliver the heat you'll need to a room. The total BTU output of several smaller radiators may meet your needs.
How do I choose the right radiator?
The BTU value of all our radiators is clearly labelled in-store and online, helping you find those which suit your requirements.
