ActiveMQ + Ruby Stomp Client: How to process elements one by one
Few months ago I've switched one of our internal projects from doing synchronous database saves of analytics data to an asynchronous processing using starling + a pool of workers. This was the day when I really understood the power of specialized queue servers. I was using database (mostly, MySQL) for this kind of tasks for years and sometimes (especially under a highly concurrent load) it worked not so fast… Few times I worked with some queue servers, but those were either some small tasks or I didn't have a time to really get the idea, that specialized queue servers were created just to do these tasks quickly and efficiently.
All this time (few months now) I was using starling noticed really bad thing in how it works: if workers die (really die, or lock on something for a long time, or just start lagging) and queue start growing, the thing could kill your server and you won't be able to do something about it – it just eats all your memory and this is it. Since then I've started looking for a better solution for our queuing, the technology was too cool to give up. I've tried 5 or 6 different popular solutions and all of them sucked… They ALL had the same problem – if your queue grows, this is your problem and not queue broker's :-/ The last solution I've tested was ActiveMQ and either I wasn't able to push it to its limits or it is really so cool, but looks like it does not have this memory problem. So, we've started using it recently.
In this small post I'd like to describe a few things that took me pretty long to figure out in ruby Stomp client: how to make queues persistent (really!) and how to process elements one by one with clients' acknowledgments.
First, we need to connect to the queue server and this code is the same for clients and servers:
1 2 3 | client = Stomp::Client.open "stomp://localhost:61613" or client = Stomp::Client.open(login, password, host, port, reliable) |
Second form looks better for me because it allows you to specify if you want client to be reliable (lock on errors and try to reconnect, etc) or just want client to raise an error in case of any problems.
When you've connected to the server, you can push your data to a queue:
1 | client.send('/queue/some_queue', "hello world", headers) |
And this is where you have an ability to specify if you want your data to be persistent (survive server crashes, etc): headers is a hash that could have an element :persistent => true, which would do the thing. So, your code would looks like this (for example):
1 2 | client.send('/queue/some_queue', "hello world", :persistent => true) client.close # this is needed only in your push code |
Now, when you have your data submitted to the queue, you need to be able to read it and process with some script. This is as simple as the following code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | # Processing loop client.subscribe('/queue/some_queue', headers) do |msg| # Process your message here # Your submitted data is in msg.body end client.join # Wait until listening thread dies |
Again, we wanted to receive messages one by one and acknowledge successful processing in our code. This is simple too. You need:
- Pass :ack => :client as an element in your headers hash
- Call client.acknowledge(msg) in the loop if you're sure that an element could be removed from the queue
This is basically it with the stuff I wanted to explain today. If you've never tried to work with any queue servers, try today and maybe tomorrow you won't be able to imagine your systems architecture without such a component

Yes, I've seen this framework, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get control over ack messages in my tests – it just acknowledges all the messages automatically
I'm new to PHP and recently setup my local machine with PHP and MySQL for doing development. I was sort of stuck when I needed to post my work
for the user to test and review. After looking around a bit I found a site that hosts PHP and MySQL apps. I was surprised that it was free –
it seems they're offering the service at no cost until 2012. At that point they'll change over to a fee-based service. However, in the
meantime, it's a great place to do anything from demo and sandbox right up to posting sites for real.
Their pitch is as follows:
"This is absolutely free, there is no catch. You get 350 MB of disk space and 100 GB bandwidth. They also have cPanel control panel which is
amazing and easy to use website builder. Moreover, there is not any kind of advertising on your pages."
Check it out using this link:
Important: There's one catch in that you must make sure you visit the account every 14 days – otherwise the account is marked 'Inactive' and
the files are deleted!!!
Thanks and good luck!
Thanks,very interesting and useful post
in active messaging, the default is auto ack, but you can set the header (same as you are doing in your subscribe) to :client when you subscribe to the queue – so there is not a big difference.
[...] rock stable and blazing fast so there is no point to look for another solution because looks like I was right – ActiveMQ is an amazing piece of software – you just need to learn it before [...]
So, is it possible to process messages in a parallel fashion ?

The new title, Thundercloud, misleads the audience into expecting a Native American epic. Actually the film involves a gun salesman (Randolph Scott) whose sample case of Colt 45's is stolen by an outlaw (Zachary Scott--no relation to Randolph). Accused of being a member of the outlaw gang when they start using the Colts in their holdups, the salesman is obliged to track down the crooks.

Based on the serial number and built in 1975, I believe this aircraft is the third to last M20E to be ever built by Mooney.
If you are looking for an aircraft to fly in most any weather, (with of course the exception of icing and CB's), you require or would benefit from short field performance on grass or tarmac, the M20E is in my opinion THE most cost efficient and flexible internationally certified 4 seater, all metal single on the planet.
Fitted with GAMI injectors and an EDM 700-4CF engine monitor it can be safely flown lean of peak consuming between 21 -23 ltr's an hour at 115-120 Kt's (and I can prove it), giving approx 1000 NM range endurance in nil wind conditions; or, for those who prefer performance over endurance 150 Kt's is achievable at FL70 (see aircraft review).

I bought this beautiful Mooney in 2008 after scouring the market for a suitable all weather, all seasons commuting aircraft. It has been the most delightful aircraft I have ever owned, it is superbly stable as an IFR platform and out of the 550 hours use I have had from it, over 130 have been real IFR, in the clouds flying.
Averaging approx 25 MPG at 115 Kts must make this the most cost effective and efficient 4 seater certified aircraft around.
If there is anything our there to beat it I should love to hear about it.
The picture of me landing was taken late last year whilst I was making an approach into Bodmin Airfield to the SW runway which is only 480 Metres long. Not only did I easily get in with at least 100 Metres to spare but I departed an hour later with three on board, the luggage bay filled up, half tanks and on wet grass.
This aircraft is for sale or would consider sharing with an instrument rated or IMC rated pilot.
NB: Any potential owner should note that a N registered aircraft can be flown anywhere in the world by an appropriately licensed pilot holding an FAA licence or it can be flown in Britain by a pilot holding a UK or UK JAR/ EASA licence. It cannot be flown in a third country by a UK licensed pilot.

The dusty colony of Guao Kel'or was quiet aside from the steady whoosh and crash of the vespine refineries, not unusual for the outpost but now all the more eerie given the context. For the last few nights the increasingly familiar hiss and chatter of Zerg danced around their borders though the bunker-bound nightwatch had never made long enough visual contact to confirm their numbers – only ever shadows and flashes of claws. The silence was understandable; there was nothing to say. Much of the prepared defences, a pitiful effort really, had been set up a day ago. The guns were loaded and a Dominion carrier was only a few hours at most from providing them much needed back-up.
If only that were enough.
Young as their brood mother was, and without the support of the Queen of Blades, the Zerg forces were formidable to say the least. Even if they didn't outnumber the Terran colonists the brutal efficiency of their murderous design was not to be mocked, not to say they didn't try. They were tenacious species, and one with some potential. Unfortunately it was this very potential which put them in such danger – after Kerrigan's disappearance many of the abandoned broods still desired to advance her plans. Infesting Terrans to exploit their psionic potential and, in this case another opportunity presented itself. The mutagenic gas terrazine was rich in the deposits surrounding Guao Kel'or.
Naturally this flurry of Zerg interest did not go unnoticed, hence the Dominion support now nearly arrived, but a fleet of Protoss was also drawn to the region. The purge was a terrible but, in their minds, necessary measure to halt the swarm.
At least the colony was silent for non-psionics.
================================================== ================================================== ===========
"Godammit, keep your thoughts to yourself!" Yotta chided herself, turning the volume up on the garage speakers despite being half-way across the room from the controls. She paced in that direction as a sort of afterthought, trying to push out the swirl of feelings and thoughts around her. She slumped onto the seat of her Vulture and sunk her head into her hands, letting out a long low sigh. Since the arrival of the Dominion 'inspectors' there was already more psychic jargon polluting the place, quite a headache for an advanced psionic like Yotta Yocta. Not that they needed to know that, in fact she had made her best effort to keep these powers suppressed – It didn't take a genius to work out they were with the Ghost program, or that that new mining site facility wasn't exactly your standard vespene operation.
Nevertheless, she had refrained from investigating too much, her mind was already enough to keep them on alert whenever she wandered by. No need to mine their thoughts and risk it. Not worth the effort. To make matters worse, the Zerg were venturing ever closer – the mind of the swarm was almost tantalizingly powerful, constantly whispering of horrible things in the background. She maintained composure but her eyes were still hallowed every time she drew near the edge of the colony. It didn't help remembering the dying thoughts of the last Dominion troop to investigate the Zerg out there…
Yocta, looks like that missile turret at the new pump site's on the fritz again. One of 'em Dominion monkey-wrenches is having a crack at it; you better get there or he'll blow us up before the Zerg get a chance… A familiar voice drifted in Yotta's head and brought her thoughts back to the present, albeit with radio static at its edges. One of the boons of being a technopath was that her head worked as a radio transceiver: certainly saved pockets. Though her lack of a radio did spark some questions so she was almost grateful for this emergency – it drew attention from the psi-hunt.
Just lovely. I'll translocate and see what I can salvage… Save me a spot in the bunker, just in case. She transmitted back, just remembering to add some static, continuing the illusion of her needing a microphone and its inherent interference. Yotta smirked slightly; the dominion engineers brought in for the new facility were over-educated fools. Clapping her hands together she grabbed a technician's kit and headed for the door then stopped a moment – she pulled her P220 to her side with her mind, just in case.
================================================== ================================================== ==========
"Motherfu-" Zzzzt! Sgt. Chun was nearly knocked off the side of the turret by a surge caused by his ham-fisted repair attempts, not that he'd admit it. No, that Dominion training wouldn't let that happen, right? Yotta suppressed a chuckle, observing the antics and feeling just that bit more reassured about the quality of her 'education'. "Congratulations Sgt. Chump, you found the power supply…." The engineer greeted, lazily wandering towards the structure. The other colonists started calling the officer that behind his back however her telepathy made it difficult to gauge if she was meant to say it to his face, so she did anyway, "At least I can read the manual, u-" Chun didn't get to finish this sentence however as another surge knocked him clear off the turret, face first in a puddle of mining tailings. For once, it wasn't his doing. Being a freak had its benefits.
With a sigh Yocta casually stepped over the dazed technician and quickly scaled the turret, completely ignoring the section Chun had been fruitlessly tinkering with. A few measured movements and the turret came back to life. As she descended the tower she relaxed a little, the psi shields around the facility usually made it a dead zone for mental static anyway. However this time it allowed her to read the contemptuous, and even disgusting, thoughts of the Dominion conscripts – She tried to internalise these feelings but instead they latched onto the whisper of the swarm.
Had she been a lower level psionic this might not have done anything but her powers were impressive and still growing –a nearby swarm of zerglings and their hydralisk brethren were already poised to attack, her wave of emotion proved enough to trigger their blood-thirst. With screeching howls they emerged from the ground and descended on the marines. Shaking herself back into reality Yotta promptly jumped from the turret, hitting the ground running with gun in hand. She went for a shortcut back to town near the border of the defences; sensing most of the zerg were at the other side. She was too preoccupied by the whispers she had loudened to check if any were following her. She did sense the shields of the facility weakening, however, and something terrible threatening to escape.

Traditional Pumpkin Pie with a Fluted Crust
Purists looking to deviate only slightly from the familiar will find the nuanced flavors they expect within these whimsically exaggerated fluted edges.
Get More
Subscribe to Martha Stewart LivingIngredients
- All-purpose flour, for surface
- Pate Brisee for Traditional Pumpkin Pie
- 1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
- 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- Ground cloves
- Whipped cream, for serving
Cook's Note
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll pate brisee disk 1/8 inch thick, then cut into a 16-inch circle. Fit circle into a 9-inch deep-dish pie dish, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fold edges under.
Step 2
Shape large, loose half circles at edge of dough, then fold into a wavelike pattern to create a fluted edge. Prick bottom of dough all over with a fork. Freeze for 15 minutes.
Step 3
Cut a circle of parchment, at least 16 inches wide, and fit into pie shell. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edges of crust begin to turn gold, about 15 minutes. Remove pie weights and parchment. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool.
Step 4
Meanwhile, whisk pumpkin, sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla, eggs, milk, and a pinch of cloves in a large bowl.
Step 5
Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Transfer pie dish to a rimmed baking sheet, and pour pumpkin mixture into cooled crust. Bake until center is set but still a bit wobbly, 50 to 55 minutes. (If crust browns too quickly, tent edges with a strip of foil folded in half lengthwise.) Let cool in pie dish on a wire rack. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 6 hours (preferably overnight). Serve chilled with whipped cream.

If we see someone attractive, we say he or she is "easy on the eyes." Now new research suggests that beautiful faces, paintings, objects or patterns are attractive because they are easy on the mind.
Previous research showed that people tend to find typical things more attractive, from watches to birds to faces. In fact, researchers found that the secret to creating an attractive face was to "average" many faces into a digital composite. One idea is that evolution adapted us to like typical-looking faces because they suggest good health in a prospective mate. But this notion does not explain why we would like typicality in cars, fish or other things we are not trying to mate with.

To be honest, I have not watched the film (yet), but I have followed the promotion closely, and from what I can gather, the entire pretense of this movie is almost comical. (Except that it's not funny.) Although the film's website is VERY well done, this movie, and the disturbing insight behind it, really makes me angry. It serves absolutely no purpose other than to help spread historical ignorance, rekindle the flames of racial division, and tarnish any reputable histories of the Confederacy in the eyes of the common public. The film's so-called "historical perspective" is founded on total speculation (filled with serious satirical and offensive content) and I would liken it to taking one of Spike Lee's favorite historical figures and rewriting imaginary history simply to ignite a flame. IE: What if his hero Malcolm X would not have been killed, the Nation of Islam becomes a major political body, and Islam becomes the national religion pushing the U.S. into the same crisis experienced now in the Middle East. Sounds absurd right? That is the exact type of "philosophy" and extremism behind this film. Plus (as an example of the lack of accuracy) it appears that they are only using the C.S.A. battle flag (where applicable) in place of the correct Confederate flag. I assume they did this as most people (in the general public) don't know the difference. Now I'm all for free speech and artistic expression, and Spike Lee has made some good films in the past, but I cannot see anything constructive in this project other than to tick off both blacks and whites with one person's skewed perception of history and futurism. Does anyone (deep down) actually believe that if the South had won the war, we would be watching the "Slave-Shopping Network" and surfing "E-Slave" in 2005? Would we not have righted the wrongs of the past by the times of today's modern and more civilized society? I like to think so. Regardless, this is not what I would call good, debate generating entertainment or remotely educational in any form. (JMO) Also - I don't want to make it sound as if this topic isn't worth exploring - just that this appears as an extremely one-sided, sensationalized, and profit-driven way to do it. Look out for more "hurt" than "help" thanks to this one. I have always respected Spike Lee's work, but this project has left me questioning his motives. I will not be spending one cent on a ticket at the theater, but I will probably rent it on video and revisit this topic at a later date. Last edited on Thu Oct 27th, 2005 06:38 pm by MAubrecht |

Would we not have righted the wrongs of the past by the times of today's modern and more civilized society? Not the answer you want to hear I suppose but... It wasn't until the 1960's that this country saw fit to pass a Civil Rights bill - a full 100 years after the war. Even then, many representatives of the South fought it tooth and nail. Remember Wallace, Helms, etc.? And all of this was under a government that supposedly was in favor of equality. Now you want to know whether a government which (hypothetically) had it's roots fighting, at least in part, to preserve slavery and "seperate and unequal" would have righted the wrongs by now. With no disrespect intended.... I think not. As you said, just MHO. |

I can't argue with that point - but this apparently takes place in today's time and I find it hard to believe that in 2005 we would have this issue. Either way - the preview (to me) is offensive, the premise is laughable, and the history behind this looks to be presented with less-than-accurate information. A potentially good idea - poorly executed - and way over the top. Maybe I'm biased sitting down here in the Old Dominion, but I bet I'm in the majority when it comes to predicting more negative repercussions - than good ones - no matter what their intentions are. |

I put some thought into this discussion last night when coincidentally, I stumbled upon Spike Lee making an appearance as part of the discussion panel on Bill Marr's (sp?) HBO show. I wanted to see if he had any insights that may sway my feelings in regards to this movie, but all he did was argue over-and-over that the U.S. Government intentionally planted explosives in order to blow-up the levees in New Orleans to drown poor, black people. I can't take anything he says seriously anymore. Clearly he is bitter (although he has been blessed with great fame and fortune and has more money than any white person I know) and instead of making intelligent statements (based on facts and/or actual evidence) and spending his time writing checks to financially HELP those affected by the hurricanes - he appears more interested in making a documentary that deals with conspiracy theories and the spread of discontent. Sorry, I tried to open my mind a little on this one, but he keeps shutting it with his irresponsible accusations and hostility. He is extremely talented, but that talent is slowly being eroded by political fanaticism. Last edited on Fri Oct 28th, 2005 04:13 pm by MAubrecht |

MAubrecht: Actually I see nothing wrong with movies like this and "A Day without Mexicans." I won't see them in the theaters and probably won't even see them on DVD but the subjects provoke reflection and thought on the subjects. Yes Spike Lee is nuts if he thinks the govenrment destroyed the levee in NO but that doesn't discount everything he says and does. To theorize what would and wouldn't happen today based on modern society's so-called enlightenment doesn't hold up in my opinion because in many ways we are less enlightened then the southern slave culture and things go on today that are more outrageous than even slavery. |

David, If I may ask (and I don't want to turn this into a big political debate) what do you mean by "we are less enlightened then the southern slave culture and things go on today that are more outrageous than even slavery." Can you explain? My experience in the South is that it has always been more conservative, traditional, old fashioned, religious, and ultimately simpler than the rest of the country - a trait that I personally love. I do not support slavery or the oppression of any race - in any capacity - and I do not want to sound like a southern apologist - I am very aware (and ashamed as a white man in some regards) of the sins of the past - but the South has worked very hard in a lot of ways to hold on to that romantic period of "family, faith and farms." I think this is a good thing. My life, (and the lives of all of my children) has been so much easier and simpler, and less stressful (IMO) than the fast-paced hustle-and-bustle of anyone I know up north. I lived in PA for my first 22 years and in VA for the last 11 - AND I will (hopefully) never leave VA as it is a postcard life that I have come to treasure. Let's put it this way, I crave living in the 19th Century (as far as having a much simpler and safer time - as opposed to today's fallen world), and this (Fredericksburg, VA) is probably the closest I will ever get.

MAubrecht: You're right, going down that path would turn this into a political debate but let's just say that denying an innocent person's life, liberty and pursuit of happiness is more egregious than just denying them their liberty and pursuit of happiness. I definitely agree with what you are saying about the south, it's why I love it too, especially my Lone Star State-- perceived warts and real warts. |

I've not seen the film, but did visit the website on more than one occasion. I found it interesting (disturbing) that the historical timeline based the entire change of the course of history on the fact that, with the aid of British and French troops a Confederate victory at Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863 the actual dates) turns the tide of the war, resulting in a Federal surrender on the same dates and in the same place as the actual Confederate surrender at Appomattox. I am a firm believer that if even one small component of history were different, a multitude of changes would have occurred. So if the South wins at Gettysburg, everything else is the same except for the result? I don't buy that for a second, and the filmmakers assumption that the European powers would have recognized a slaveholding government ( if I'm not mistaken England refused to recognize the C.S.A. BECAUSE of slavery) is a complete historical "oversight" and sloppy research. If for no other reason, and I do have other issues w/ this film and its "message", its historical misrepresentation will keep me away from it. Just my two cents. |

I'll certainly agree that any film based on historical events contains inaccuracies. However, the website for this film linked to a "timeline" that I considered to support the actual theme of the film, which is to portray this country as it would be had the Civil War been a Southern victory. So as opposed to "Gettysburg" or "Gods and Generals" which were based on actual events, this film appears to take a premise and twist historical "what might have beens" around it. I certainly don't oppose the premise of the film (I actually find it intriguing), I do oppose the supposition that had the South won Gettysburg everything else would have happened as it actually did, with the exception of the abolition of slavery. |

Good points one and all. I have a question and was hoping you could give me some insights. It seems that people either love or hate the film God's and Generals. As I wrote two books that focused specifically on the religious lives of Jackson and Stuart (a similar approach) - and as the majority of the film takes place right here in my town (and I am very familiar with the events and places) - I wonder what the problem is that people have with it? I can't seem to figure it out. Just curious as it seems to be a divided topic. Thanks. Last edited on Mon Oct 31st, 2005 02:45 pm by MAubrecht |

I know we've discussed this in further detail in the chat room ks - so I won't add much to this specific discussion on G&G. I understand how the general public may feel that it was too-Stonewall and/or too pro-southern focused. I guess I didn't realize that as it "catered" to my particular interests, but I can certainly see the "other-side" of the argument. Sharra's book was not really "mirrored" on the screen. If you think about it, Gettysburg was northern-focused (Chamberlain, Buford, etc.) but still spent time on Longstreet, Pickett, Armistead, and Lee. G&G really only incorporated Chamberlain and Hancock into the storyline. As I type, this actually makes me think about "allegiances" - maybe not the right word - "favoritism" that historians have that obviously influence their tastes. I am only a 4th-generation American (on both sides) so I did not grow up with any particular "favorite" (I'm orig. from Pennsylvania) in regards to the Civil War. I never really felt that I had the "right" as I have zero blood-ancestors that participated in it. My father's family were Catholics from Austria and my mother's family were Welch Presbyterians (picture that wedding) who both came over in the early 1900's. However, as I grew into my adulthood (as both a man and as a writer) in Fredericksburg, Virginia - I could not help but be influenced by where I have lived for so long and what transpired here. Obviously I have a much better interest, grasp (and relation) to the southern perspective - even as a "transplant". My sister married into a southern family in Charlotte, N.C. and now shares the same last name as the nearby plantation and the road that they live off of. I am sure they have an entirely different perspective too as they (her in-laws' people) were active participants in the conflict. I guess what I'm trying to communicate is that all books and movies are ultimately influenced (in part) by the experiences, locations and family histories of the people that write/produce them. In that regards, its virtually impossible to please everybody - all of the time. In the end, I guess that I just love being able to watch a 5 hour movie on the Civil War with a favorite Christian Soldier of mine dominating the "camera-time".

Michael, For what it is worth, my main problem with "Gods and Generals" had nothing to do with the religious overtones, or that it's main focus was on Stonewall. Problem I had here, is that Ron Maxwell, somehow made the story of the Civil War boring, and his screenplay for the movie sucked. As ks has mentioned, this movie had nothing to do with what Jeff Shaara had written in his book, and to say that film was based on his novel is a lie. How can a filmmaker lie to the audience who wanted to see the film? That's where he failed, and for him to rail about the bad publicity and bad reviews he got, all he should have done is look in the mirror, and realize he made a crappy movie. No anti Southern feelings here at all, and far from it. Still cringe here when I see Jeff Daniels's monologue about Hail Ceasar right before the Battle of Fredericksburg, and had that occurred during the battle, and if I was a member of the 20th Maine, I would have shot him just to make him shut up.. Will leave you with this. I saw the movie here in NJ with Jim the Night Owl and a friend of his, and they both asked me what I thought when it was over. My exact quote was, "What the Hell was that?" Pained me to have that reaction, but just thought, and still think Maxwell did a horrible job with that movie. Not sure if you have ever seen Ang Lee's "Ride With The Devil", and if not, get a copy and watch that, as that is the best CW movie since "Glory" came out, and done by a director who was not even born in the USA!!

Earlier, on the red carpet, Elton was chatting with Carson Daly who asked about his nomination for 'Hello Hello' and his competition. John answered, "Mary J might win it for 'The Help'. Madonna doesn't have a f**king chance." She won that mess and delivered a speech in which she corrected her grammar, said "um" repeatedly and attempted humor.


text: Seven San Bernardino County teams earned top-four seeds in their respective divisions as the CIF-SS football playoffs were released on Sunday and another three got in as at-large entries into the playoffs. Arroyo Valley coach Tony DiThomas was elated his team is back in the playoffs in his first year back with the program. The Hawks play at No. 3-seeded Serrano in the Eastern Division first round Friday. For Jurupa Hills coach Ed McMillon, he has guided the Spartans to the playoffs for the first time in school history and Jurupa Hills will play at No. 4 seed Fillmore in the East Valley Division first round. It is also his first time in the playoffs as a head coach, having previously coached at La Puente. In a selection that surprised many, Silverado got the final at-large berth over Apple Valley in the Eastern Division. There really weren't any surprises in terms of which county teams were seeded. Upland (No. 3 in Inland Division), Summit (No. 1 Central), Kaiser (No. 3 Central), Carter (No. 2 Eastern), Serrano (No. 3 Eastern), Oak Hills (No. 4 Eastern) and Ontario Christian (No. 1 East Valley) all got the seeds they expected to. There are a few all-county matchups in the first round: Redlands at Chino Hills in the Inland Division, Barstow at Oak Hills and Arroyo Valley at Serrano in the Eastern Division, and Yucca Valley at Citrus Valley and Rim of the World at Twentynine Palms in the East Valley.

Follow me on raceday two ways, either in the live blog/chat at the Keeneland website (http://www.keeneland.com/racing/racing-live-coverage) – also available on your mobile devices – or on Twitter @Keeenelandracing, where I provide up-to-the-minute picks and analysis.
Weather: Mostly sunny skies and a warm day approaching 85 degrees is on tap following potential thunder storms on Thursday. For up-to-the-minute weather updates for Keeneland, including the track surface temperature and today's maintenance, click: http://www.keeneland.com/racing/track-conditions.
Polycapping 101: Here we go race-by-race to give you the inside stats. All information is gleaned from the free Polycapping database (http://apps.keeneland.com/awstats/Default.asp) that you can manipulate and search for yourself as well!
The 2013 Fall Meet opens in Race 1 with maiden claiming sprinters on the Polytrack. Only 17 first-time starters have won such contests from 92 offered during past Fall Meets in the Poly era, so it's more than 4-to-1 in favor of horses with some experience. Last Fall, Kentucky Downs invaders tallied 3 wins in such spots, most of any circuit. That's good news for US Dream, who figures to get Spring Meet record-setting trainer Mike Maker off to a fast Fall start. Wesley Ward won a pair of MCL sprints last Fall Meet and counters with Jojo's Gal, a grandson of all-time leading Polytrack sire Unbridled's Song.
Races 2 and 10 are split divisions of a $10,000 claiming sprint on the Polytrack. Last Fall, we had 16 claimers at the meet at $10,000 or less levels, and Presque Isle Downs preppers dominated with 6 victories. But even more telling at this class level and 6-furlong distance, note that in 24 all-time Fall Meet races, no horse has closed more than 3-1/4 lengths after the opening half-mile to win and the average winner as been AHEAD by .02 lengths at that juncture. Speed, speed, speed has been as tough at this class/distance as any situation in the Poly era. Look for horses with early speed and a preference toward Presque Isle Downs form in Races 2 and 10. Trainers Wayne Catalano and Mike Maker have shined in these types of races.
Race 3 is a 1-1/16 miles route for the 2-year-olds and we test the stamina of these babies on the main track. From 32 past Fall Meet MSW routes for the babies on Polytrack, note that only 2 first-time starters have succeeded and that 21 of 32 winners prepped last time at a mile or longer. Only 3 winners were successful after having prepped at 5-1/2 or 6 furlongs most recently, so the long stretch-outs have not worked. Saratoga preppers own 8 of these 32 wins, boding well for horses like Bold Visionary and Canadian Warrior who have both Saratoga and route experience on their resumes. No trainer has won more Fall Meet 2YO MSW routes than Bill Mott's 5 at Keeneland, and he'll send Poly-bred Dobra Historia to post with a big chance. Two of those 5 Mott wins in this situation were horses extended from sprint-to-route and the 7-furlong debut distance for Dobra Historia is a more achievable stretch-out than some other dashers going long. The route experience for Stonecrusher plays well here, obviously. Race seems to boil down to Bold Visionary, Dobra Historia and Stonecrusher to me.
Race 4 clearly appears the toughest challenge on the card to this eye. Wins at the middle claiming levels ($16k-$32k) during Fall Meets are almost identically distributed among Presque Isle, Arlington and Kentucky Downs shippers. The one lean among sprint races at this class level is that only 7 of 31 races have been won by horses turning back from a route prep to a sprint, so lean toward sprint-prepped runners. Top Tier Lass for Leparoux-Maker-Ramsey makes plenty of sense and likely will be where most people gravitate to in a tougher race than just taking the connections at face value. Regally Melody would seem to fit well, though it's a "spread" race to me if playing the early pick four and a shot to find some chaos.
Race 5 also could be a haven for a price play. Maidens extend the elongated 1-1/8 miles distance on the Polytrack. We've only had 9 such 9-furlong MSW races in past Fall Meets on Poly, but the average winner has been a whopping 11-1 odds and favorites are just 1-for-9. The average winner has been more than 4 lengths behind after the opening half-mile. Six of 9 winners exited a route prep and the turf-to-Poly surface change has resulted in 5 wins in those 9 races. No trainer has come close to Mike Maker's 12 career Kee Poly wins at 1-1/8 miles, so Tiu will be a deserving consideration even on a mild class rise. He's prepped on turf and in a route, as are horses like Gameday Spanking and Professor Midnight. The best price of that group might be the way to go. But watch out for Top Priority stretching out in distance. She's a full-sister to long-winded stakes star Tiz Miz Sue and may RELISH going long on the Polytrack for Steve Hobby, a patient trainer who doesn't push young horses. Her third career start may be the breakout race going this distance.
The pick five begins in Race 6 with a race where "GREAT OPTIONS!" is scribbled atop my past performances. You could go many ways here and land a horse at overlaid odds. Early speed horses have dominated 7-furlong allowance sprints over the past 2 fall meets with 8 of 11 winners racing within a length of the lead or less after the opening half-mile. Only 1 winner during that time closed more than 3 lengths over the final 3 furlongs. Saratoga shippers hold a slight edge here, 9-8, over Arlington shippers in 57 past Fall Meet allowance sprints at 7F, but for Arlington to hold that close on the class differential is significant. Perhaps give a second look to Sir Applesolutely from AP who exits some strong tries, as well as Chicago-based Xbalanque, who ran a big race on the road at Kentucky Downs last time out. Lonesome Street won a very weak renewal of the G3 Commonwealth this past Spring Meet and could be overbet, as could Central Banker, a sometimes brilliant 3-year-old who was originally aimed at the Indiana Derby but rerouted to this allowance spot – that's a mixed vibe for me. Night Party, Villandry and Stormy Going all have won races here good enough to capture this extremely tough event. It's the toughest leg of the pick five and it's right off the bat.
The New York shippers have owned Keeneland Fall Meet turf allowances in recent years and about half of the Race 7 field had some Saratoga experience this summer that should play well in this spot. No trainer has won more Fall Meet entry-level turf allowances than Graham Motion's 5, and Saratoga summer runner-up I'll Call rates a deep consideration. Sire Smart Strike is among the very best local turf sires historically, and note the horse who beat I'll Call in an allowance race last time stepped up to be beaten only a length in a $75,000 stakes event at Parx after that. With serious contenders Prado Cat and Barzini drawing the 11 and 12 posts, the inside draws for Spa veterans One Golden Road and Rivendell make them intriguing players with I'll Call.
Friday's co-featured Race 8 is the Grade 3 Phoenix, and this has been a complete crapshoot in the Polytrack era. Of the 7 editions since Fall 2006, the average winner is a shade under 11-1 with favorites just 1-for-7. Speed has been very good in the Phoenix as the last 6 winners averaged just ¾ of a length off the lead after the opening half-mile, and last year's event was won wire-to-wire by Sum of the Parts. The defending champion is back, but was aided a year ago by a dawdling second-quarter split of 23-2/5 that sealed the deal. With rapid Gentlemen's Bet in the field, there's no way they go that slow the 2Q this time. Two fast horses worth noting on the class rise are Reload and Laugh Track, dazzling winners here in the 2013 Spring Meet. It's noteworthy that Reload ran the fastest 6F of the meet by a whopping .75 seconds and Laugh Track posted the fastest 6-1/2 furlongs of the meet by an equally impressive .63 seconds. The latter is sired by all-time Kee Poly sprint supersire Distorted Humor. Ghost Is Clear is really improving back to his best form and looms a danger if he breaks with any interest.
Feature Race Play, courtesy of the Horseplayernow.com BUZZ Report: The first Grade 1 stakes of the meet is the traditional Fall Meet opening day fixture, the Alcibiades. Two-year-old fillies are challenged a route distance of 1-1/16 miles with $400,000 on the line. The distance is significant. Historically fans have been lured toward Arlington-Washington Lassie alumnae from Chicago in this race, but that's been a disappointment in the results column. The Lassie runners exit one-turn miles and that hasn't played to the two-turn Alcibiades success at all in the Polytrack era. My first consideration is to look elsewhere from the Lassie crowd.
Three of the last 4 editions of this race have been won by fillies shipping in from Woodbine. The Canadian connection continues Friday with debut stakes winner My Conquestadory. The Mark Cassie trainee beat the boys in style in the Grade 2 Summer Stakes, and this barn will look for back-to-back Alcibiades scores after winning a year ago with Spring in the Air. My Conquestadory does still have to answer the two-turn question as her mile win at Woodbine on grass was around one turn.
Who's In Town, disqualified from her win in the G2 Adirondack at Saratoga, will take plenty of attention. But note that 6 of 7 Alcibiades winners in the Poly era prepped at 7 furlongs or more and 5 of those 7 had prepped at a mile or longer. Who's In Town has not been beyond 6-1/2 furlongs to date.
If she can overcome a wide post No. 12, beware Rosalind. Ken McPeek won this race in 2008 with Dream Empress and this was the onlyl filly running on late in a speed-friendly edition of the two-turn G2 Pocahontas at Churchill Downs. She adds Lasix and looms a big danger. Personal Diary exits a third to a tremendously impressive turf stakes winner Lien On Kitten at Kentucky Downs. She, too, will be running on late.
The play will be My Conquestadory over Rosalind and Personal Diary.

The region temporarily existed as a Protectorate of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, with its capital being the city of San Francisco. Sadly, this term of benevolent ebullience lasted a brief two decades and ended c. 1880.
The United States is now the dominant country of North America. It arose as a nation only 225 years ago after a successful rebellion against the British government under King George III.
From a distance, it appears that the eastern coastlines of North and South America fit exactly into the west coast of Africa. In fact, about 250 million years ago these continents really were all connected in one land mass that we have named Pangaea.
With such a foundation in tectonic unity, there is no doubt that someday soon the people on every continent of earth will realize their fundamental similarities. Expect massive leaps in creative output in your area!

Why do we supply Turkey with weapons or include them in Nato?
This guy is nuts. If he darkened that moustache he´d look a little Hitleresque. Syria and Israel have a secret agreement? Don´t think so. Assad´s not going to respond. He got caught attempting to transfer weapons to Hezbollah.
#1, turkey has been a loyal ally of the united states for decades, fought along side our troops in korea, and now, through the magic of this president and his secretary of state, hillary the horrible, we have lost Turkey as an ally.
i think we need to rethink our committment to Turkey and maybe Nato if Nato is going to include an islamist government
Statements like these only endear them to Obama.
This fellow is talking real big considering he is hiding behind US missiles.
Ronnie to Turkey---drop dead.
Not a word about arming Israel´s enemies, though. What would he say if Russia sent arms to Turkey´s Kurds?
Propaganda Alert! Rewrite = Turkey, furious that their caravan of arms collected in Libya with Obama´s help & enroute to Hezbollah was bombed by Israel, tries to deflect blame to Syria.Taqiyya Tactics don´t work, when the truth is out.
