Here is the official press release:
MIAMI (January 9, 2009) Carnival Cruise Lines is launching an exciting new cruise pricing option called Early Saver which offers fares as much as 25 percent lower than the best generally available rates and provides rate protection if rates later drop below what the consumer originally paid. Early Saver further enhances the exceptional value of a Carnival cruise vacation.
Early Saver rates will be available beginning January 12, 2009 and offered up to three months prior to sailing date for cruises of five days or less and up to five months prior to sailing date for longer length voyages, subject to availability. Early Saver fares include all stateroom types, including suites.
The Early Saver rate protection feature provides that if a lower Carnival advertised rate becomes available after the booking is made, a rate adjustment can be requested and the cruise line will issue the difference in the form of a non-refundable shipboard credit. The lower fare must be for the same ship, sailing date, stateroom category and number of guests.
Early Saver is a fantastic savings opportunity for those who are able to plan ahead and book early, said Ruben Rodriguez, Carnivals executive vice president of marketing and guest experience. It is designed to provide consumers with complete confidence that the fare they are booking is the lowest Carnival rate available and that in the event they find a lower fare later, they need simply submit a rate protection request and we will provide a shipboard credit equal to the difference.
When booking an Early Saver fare, consumers are able to choose a specific stateroom. The standard required deposit is immediately non-refundable at time of booking. Any changes in ship or sailing date outside of Carnivals standard penalty period require a $50 change fee. For changes inside the penalty period, normal penalties apply.
To request a price adjustment, a rate protection form must be completed and emailed to Carnival. Consumers can access the form via the cruise lines web site at carnival.com or their travel agent may complete the form via the cruise lines travel agent web portal. The lower rate must be available at the time the form is submitted and rate adjustments will be processed within two business days. Rate adjustment requests can be submitted up to two business days prior to the cruise departure date.
Early Saver fares are available for both individual and group reservations.
The Early Saver fare program will be available on virtually all Carnival ships and itineraries, which include voyages ranging from three to 18 days in length to The Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, Panama Canal, Canada, New England, Europe, Bermuda and South America. The fares are subject to availability and certain restrictions apply.
To book an Early Saver rate, consumers may contact a travel agent, call 800-CARNIVAL or visit carnival.com.

Breast Cancer - Pink Ribbon Day
Friday, 25 September 2009
Breast cancer campaign for October Breast cancer Awareness month is underway and today, Friday the 25th September is Pink Ribbon Day.
Today we are joined by Geraldine Byrne, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007. She has undergone a mastectomy, axillary clearance and chemotherapy, and is currently having breast reconstruction surgery.
We are also joined by Joan Kelly, who is the Nursing Services manager for the Irish Cancer Society
Geraldine Byrne
What advice would you give to women who are worried about having breast cancer?
My advice to go to their GP as soon as they can, if they suspect they have any kind of lump
What would you say to someone who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer?
Well every Thursday a woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and I do think about that, and my advice to them is to take one day at a time
What Joan Kelly will Say?
The most recent figures are from 2007 and it shows that there were 2,479 cases of breast cancer. This includes 16 cases in men. The number of cases has also increased considerably over the last number of years by several hundred. .
People are living longer, and better screening means that more cancers are being detected. What we are also finding is that there has been an increase in the number of smaller cancers being detected
The Irish cancer Irish Cancer Societystudy on woman who had breast cancer:-
The Irish Cancer Society looked at 50 women who had beast cancer and we have the preliminary results of that study
What were the findings?
Most were not breast aware, but when they did find something, they did were treated very quickly, and that is important
We also found that a small % of women felt there was nothing to worry about that. some people also felt that they had other priorities, and this is human nature, for example, some woman were going through a separation and put off going to their doctor.. Some just thought that it was something that they did not need to be concerned about.. This is the target group that we have to get the message out to and those are the ones that we have to convert.
What advice would you have for women who are worried about breast cancer?
Women who are worried about breast cancer are welcome to contact our cancer information line with the Irish Cancer Society and we are prepared to discuss any issues they have with us. They can also go to their doctor after this.
Cancer Information Iine:1800 30 90 40
Early detection is really what we are all about and we have to develop a culture of breast awareness
Breast abnormalities are not normal and lumps are not normal, so when women notice them they really should get them checked out.

Durham leaders committed to curbing crime
Posted January 14, 2016
Durham, N.C. — Community members gathered outside city hall Thursday for a "call to action" against the high crime rate in Durham.
Many that gathered said a large number of citizens want to do something about it, but there are not nearly as many doing anything to further the progress.
Rodney Williams says he's walked the poorer neighborhoods where shootings happen, where he's seen desperation and no jobs.
"We have no jobs," Williams said. "What are these kids doing now? They are breaking in your house; they are robbing."
Williams said he remembers when the city offered jobs to ex-offenders, and when community centers in the projects offered meals and something for kids to do.
"That program is gone," he said.
Pastor Mark-Anthony Middleton, of Abundant Hope Christian Church, said there are hundreds of churches in Durham, but only a small fraction will join the fight against crime.
Middleton recently visited Boston to learn its strategy to curb crime. He said officers got out of their cars and into the troubled neighborhoods.
Middleton added that he would like to see the same from local churches and organizations.
"Pray for our city, but after you finish praying, get of your knees and come lock arms with us and take action," he said.
Middleton said he wants to organize a grand summit and include community leaders and organizations that have been on the sidelines, to create a plan of action.

At least 4,000 millionaires left India to settle abroad, in 2015, according to a report by New World Wealth.

While India is fourth in the list of nations, where such exodus of wealthy people is occurring, France is first. The report also said that once India creates conditions conducive for a luxurious lifestyle, the wealthy will return.

Cannot edit Title or Description
Great plugin. I especially like the mass edit of Meta tags. I am using a wordpress multisite install but that should not matter. When I am in the edit page section of wordpress I attempt to make a change to the Title or Description meta… I make my changes and then hit update button and the meta data returns back to what it was before I edited it. Kinda weird. I can however make changes to the meta in the mass edit of meta tags section.
Any ideas the site is if that helps at all.

Pat Martino
In the late 1970s he had medical problems, and he was eventually diagnosed as suffering from a brain aneurysm. An operation saved his life but left him with amnesia: he had no recollection of having been a musician, much less a virtuoso guitarist. It took some time, but with hardly anything more than sheer willpower, he taught himself to play again and regained his place among the top list of modern jazz guitarists. A second medical crisis and family problems sidelined him once again, but in 1994 he returned to music a second time and since then has been making up for lost time, releasing close to ten recordings, doing clinics, teaching and lecturing, and touring the world.
His style has evolved, but certain critical elements have been constant in his playing: powerful and yet clean articulation, a sure-footed sense of melodic and harmonic direction, a singing tone, and strong rhythmic drive. One of his early influences was Wes Montgomery, and he is currently on tour promoting a tribute recording that honors that man's work. He's at the Kerrytown Concert House with his quartet on Friday, June 2.

The Quantitative-Qualitative Controversy in Marketing Research
A critical point in the process of establishing a research methodology is represented by the choice related to the type of analysis that should be used: quantitative or qualitative. The arguments in favor of quantitative or qualitative research have been the subject of a large number of scientific articles. The difference that can be made between the two research methods refers to each article's technical specificity and style. In a marketing research, in order to respond to the requirements of validity and reliability, the quantitative and qualitative methodologies should be correlated so that the problem is resolved in a logical way.

RAY SUAREZ: It was from this home in a rural corner of North Carolina that 39-year-old Daniel Boyd and a group of alleged co-conspirators are accused of quietly planning "violent jihad."
ROB ROEGNER, neighbor: I spoke with him on several occasions, and never was there any idea that he was involved in something like that.
RAY SUAREZ: On Monday, more than 100 federal agents fanned out across the state to arrest Boyd, his two sons, and four others. A 14-page indictment accuses the men of a long-standing conspiracy to plan and launch an overseas terrorist attack.
Boyd, the silent cell's alleged mastermind, is an American-born Muslim convert. The indictment claims he traveled to Afghanistan and Pakistan in the late 1980s to train alongside Islamist fighters then battling the Soviets.
The North Carolina case — and similar recent incidents — worry American law enforcement officials, including Attorney General Eric Holder, who spoke to ABC News.
ERIC HOLDER, attorney general: This whole notion of radicalization is something that perhaps did not loom as large a few months ago as it does now. And that — it's the shifting nature of threats that, I think, keeps you up at night.
RAY SUAREZ: In a memo issued shortly after Monday's arrests, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security cited the Boyd case and others as evidence of a growing trend.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano addressed the issue yesterday.
JANET NAPOLITANO, secretary of homeland security: We need to comprehend and anticipate an expanding range of threats. Now, DHS monitors and shares information about potential homegrown threats, as well. These can be individuals, radicals radicalized by events abroad or lone wolf attacks.
RAY SUAREZ: Federal prosecutors recently disclosed an American raised on Long Island was currently being detained for training with al-Qaida in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
And this week, a Virginia man, who had joined al-Qaida, was sentenced to life in prison for planning to kill former President George W. Bush.
Boyd and his co-defendants are scheduled to appear in a federal court in Raleigh next Tuesday.
RAY SUAREZ: Just how widespread is homegrown radical extremism? And how do you combat that threat?
For answers, we turn to David Schanzer, director of the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security, located at Duke University and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and Ibrahim Ramey, director for human and civil rights at the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, an advocacy group in Washington, D.C.
Scope of the threat
David Schanzer, is Daniel Boyd an anomaly or part of a phenomenon that merits significant and ongoing attention from law enforcement?
DAVID SCHANZER, director, Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security: I think it does merit ongoing attention. This is a problem. It shouldn't be an overstated problem, but it is a significant one.
We've collected data here of 125 Muslim Americans that have been prosecuted over the past eight years for a terrorism-related offense that involves some element of violence.
Now, to put that in context, there's been 130,000 murders over the past eight years in America. So this is a problem, but we should keep it in context and we should treat it seriously, but not overdo it.
RAY SUAREZ: There have been arrests of Americans and naturalized citizens and legal residents in places like Lackawanna, New York, outside Buffalo, in Miami, in other places around the country. Did any of them turn out to have significant links, ongoing links to international terrorism? Or were they just people who started to hatch plots here in the United States?
DAVID SCHANZER: Well, of those 125, about 40 percent had some element of a domestic plot or attack, and the other 60 percent were totally connected with activities abroad.
RAY SUAREZ: Ibrahim Ramey, have mosques, have Muslim organizations like yours been approached by the FBI, for instance, for aid in tracking these threats?
IBRAHIM RAMEY, Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation: Well, certainly that's true, and we also know that there have been instances nationally where Muslim organizations, and particularly mosques, have been infiltrated by the FBI and where people have been approached to be undercover agents or even agent provocateurs for the FBI.
Now, let me say categorically that terrorism and that kind of violence is something that we categorically condemn and absolutely reject. But we want law enforcement to also understand that this should not be a pretext for demonizing an entire community or trying to turn the community against itself in a way that's both counterproductive and also not likely to yield any great results.
RAY SUAREZ: Well, you've talked about above-board and, let's say, below-board approaches. In the almost eight years since September 11th, has a rough relationship been hammered out, the rules of engagement, so that Muslim organizations and the FBI have some sort of understanding?
IBRAHIM RAMEY: I think we have to really answer the question in two parts. The first part would look at the Bush administration, which did not have categorically a very good relationship with the Muslim community. We think that that relationship can improve and has improved somewhat under the new administration, but there are still elements of concern.
We know that there are very zealous prosecutors in different parts of the country that will twist evidence against Muslims. We know that Muslim charities that are totally legitimate have been shut down. We know that the human and civil rights of some Muslims have been abrogated or challenged by the current climate of Islamophobia in the country.
So I would have to say to you that those rules of engagement are really a work in progress.
A question of timing
RAY SUAREZ: David Schanzer, at the time of the arrests in some of these cases, even FBI agents called the plots involved more aspirational than operational. Is there a decent question to be asked about timing here?
DAVID SCHANZER: Well, there's always a tough call for law enforcement as to whether they want to cut something off before anything could possibly happen or they want to let it play out a little more, let the plot ripen a bit to see if you can catch somebody in the act.
More recently, in the case in New York, with the plot to bomb a synagogue in Brooklyn, the authorities let that go to the point where an inert bomb was actually planted outside the synagogue. And I think that demonstrated, I think, more convincingly to the community that these individuals were potentially very dangerous.
So I think it's a tough call for law enforcement. Maybe we're seeing things allowed to go a little bit further, the further we get from 9/11.
RAY SUAREZ: Has there been a different approach in other countries that have faced this kind of threat?
DAVID SCHANZER: Well, I think the rest of the world, especially our friends in the United Kingdom, thought we were a bit jittery early on and that we were arresting people at a very early stage.
That didn't mean that they had not engaged in a conspiracy or violated the law in some way. Although there have been some acquittals, most of the trials for these homegrown plots have been successful.
But, again, I think that our friends abroad usually like to try to let things play out a little bit more, really, for the purpose of gathering greater intelligence.
Preserving civil rights
RAY SUAREZ: Ibrahim Ramey, how do you balance the needs of a country to protect itself with the civil rights of its own citizens? There have been complaints from Muslim organizations in the past about this.
IBRAHIM RAMEY: Certainly. Certainly.
RAY SUAREZ: Well, how do you strike that balance?
IBRAHIM RAMEY: I think the balance has to be struck by engaging and increasing engagement with Muslims in the process of civic involvement, the process of raising young people in a way that is fully respectful of the laws of the country, but also committed to the rights of Muslims and the rights of all citizens.
More than that, I would say that our own organization, the Muslim American Society, has Boy Scout troops and civic engagements with other faith communities.
And the key, really, is to recognize that Muslims are the best allies in the positive transformation of the country, but also in the protection of the civil rights and the protection of all people from violence.
RAY SUAREZ: You don't deny that there are nefarious elements trying to entice young Muslims in the United States into this kind of thing?
IBRAHIM RAMEY: Of course there are. Absolutely there are. And I think that the response that we have is, number one, to equip our young people with the clear understanding of what Islam really means, to understand that the options that we have for engaging the society in a positive way exclude violence and really categorically ought to do that.
And the third thing is that young people can make intelligent choices and must make intelligent choices about their own lives, the safety of their community, and ultimately creating a world that is less violent and less unjust.
RAY SUAREZ: David Schanzer, racial profiling has been in the news quite a bit lately for obviously other reasons, but is there something that, well, gives you second thoughts and some pause about a Daniel Boyd, who allegedly was able to operate in Afghanistan and Pakistan and the United States, put together a cell, that he might escape notice because of his name, his looks, his background in this country?
DAVID SCHANZER: And the same would apply to the person who was arrested in Long Island.
It would be a gem for al-Qaida to have a Caucasian recruit with a U.S. passport. First of all, they could get a tremendous amount of information to al-Qaida about the way we live, about the railroad stations we go in, things like that. And then they can get into the country much more easily than others.
So those are prime prospects for al-Qaida. And we need to take care not to racially profile, because if you have too much emphasis looking for the obvious people that you think might be terrorists, you are going to miss people who don't stand out as those you might expect would be the perpetrators.
RAY SUAREZ: Ibrahim Ramey, what do you make of that?
IBRAHIM RAMEY: Well, I do agree with what Mr. Schanzer has to say. I would also say that, again, our objective in this kind of global climate and national climate is to protect people from violence, to ensure people that the Muslim community is not a violent community, it's a law-abiding community, and every index that you can look at in terms of our demographics and our political positions indicates that.
But, more than that, that fighting global terrorism and violence is also for me and for us, I believe, a matter of affirming justice, that when you dry up the pond in which terrorism tends to spring and do that through nonviolent engagement and do that through building justice and building alliances with the Muslim community. It's good for Muslims; it's good for America; it's good for the world.
RAY SUAREZ: So better futures for those young fellows and you take away the breeding grounds of terrorism, you're saying?
IBRAHIM RAMEY: Yes, and education, and giving young people the kind of encouragement and nurturing at the mosque level, at the community level, at the national level that youth lead -- and need, rather.
And that the other piece of that is that, when young people are engaged, and when they're nurtured, and when they're cared about, they're not going to do that kind of crazy stuff.
RAY SUAREZ: Ibrahim Ramey, David Schanzer, thank you both.
DAVID SCHANZER: Thank you.

Newly filed Federal Election Commission documents show Republican Michele Bachmann's presidential campaign was nearly $1.05 million in debt as of January 25, 2012. Holding the bills were numerous campaign advisers. Photographers, direct mailers, transportation companies and caterers were also owed money.
Bachmann's focus is now back on Minnesota where she's running for reelection in the 6th Congressional District. So far three Democratic challengers have emerged, two are announced candidates, a third is "exploring" a run.
Bachmann has been aggressively attempting to raise money in recent weeks, sending supporters urgent emails seeking contributions.
She has a history of strong fundraising. In her last run for the House in 2010 Bachmann took in $13.5 million.

Magic rookie Aaron Gordon out indefinitely with fractured foot
Orlando Magic rookie forward Aaron Gordon will be out indefinitely after fracturing a bone in his left foot, general manager Rob Hennigan said Sunday.
The 19-year-old Gordon, the fourth pick in the 2014 NBA draft out of Arizona, had already become an important contributor off the bench through the Magic's first 11 games. He was averaging 5.8 points and 3 rebounds per game in 15. minutes. He was shooting 58 percent from the floor.
Gordon took to his Twitter account Sunday after the Magic announced the news:
It's not fatal; You know how that saying goes.— AG (@IamAaronGordon) November 16, 2014
need detail from a specialist, the reality is that it's a stress fracture. That I can't control. But I can control my level of inner peace— AG (@IamAaronGordon) November 16, 2014
My family will never let me fall back. I PROMISE #cantknockthehustle— AG (@IamAaronGordon) November 16, 2014
The 6-foot-9 Gordon's best game of the 11 came on Nov. 7, when he put up 17 points, six rebounds and two blocks in a 112-103 overtime victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

text: OK, I just moved to Tennessee and I'm hoping to catch the Bengals often. The problem is the Titans are just down the road in Nashville and play the same time as Bengals. I'm sure it will happen a lot during the season with a 1 PM kickoff being common for both teams. My question is if I purchase NFL Network will I be able to watch the Bengals? It would actually have to be part of Comcast's Sports Entertainment bundle. Thanks a lot.

Joy Beatty: If you create perfectly clean blueprints for a house but forget to check that there is a back door, and you end up with a house where your kids have to go out the front door to get to the back yard, are you going to be happy? No! The same is true of requirements and systems. If we have well-written requirements, that certainly helps ensure a complete system, but it does not guarantee it. For example, the development team could overcommit, the well-written requirements might be twice as big in scope as there is budget, and, further, the requirements might not solve the actual business problems.
To address this, we start by understanding the real business problems and business objectives and derive requirements to solve those problems and meet those objectives. In fact, throughout the project, the entire team needs to keep a razor sharp focus on solving those business problems. If they do that, they can help ensure a successful project—a complete system that also delivers business value.
Heather Shanholtzer: If you had to pick one requirements model to recommend, which one would it be and why?
Joy Beatty: This is a tough question because models each serve a different purpose and projects vary so much. However, almost without fail, every project needs a Business Objectives Model, and when it is used, it is the most important model. The Business Objectives Model is what allows us to ensure that every feature developed helps solve the business problems. This model also lays the groundwork for us to be able to drastically cut scope on projects in a quantitative manner, taking the emotions out of scoping decisions.
User Comments
While I completely agree with much of what Ms Beatty says, there are a few statements that are questionable, if not in fact in intent.
If you need 500 textual requirements to specify something, that is because there are 500 things to be specified. Even if you do this in a model, it is still 500. You get around this in models by structuring, hierarchy, etc. You do exactly the same thing in text. I would no more give someone a requirements document of 500 statements with no structure than I would give them a novel with all the words sorted into alphabetical order. You can maintain seven plus or minus two in text, and should strive to do so.
As for models making things easier for non-English speakers, well, up to a point. But a collection of graphics without words is meaningless, and if they have words, then those words had better be in some language.
I love the example of having to go out the front door to get to the yard. This is a clear case where a model (picture) would help. Of course, we have to be wary of imposing solutions when we start modelling, and that also applies for text. In both cases, one of the most important things to remember is to always ask "why?".
Thanks for the great questions and comments Keith! Let me try to respond to all of them!
Regarding using text to specify 500 things:
Sure, you can add structure to the text, for example a Requirements Mapping Model is a model to help you do that. But just saying you can group text into 7+/-2 groups is easier said than done. You have to find something to group them by, be it features, process flow steps, business objectives, etc. One of the concepts we talk about is how no one model is sufficient. The same is true if you organize 500 text statements - it's still not sufficient to fully analyze the solution and know you have no gaps. Finally, visual models are easier to look at than a list of 500 statements of text as well.
Regarding models not fully helping non-English speakers:
That's absolutely a fair statement. I think models only but help to supplement text, but do not fully address this issue alone.
Finally, your point about asking why:
Absolutely! I think this is very much the role of the person identifying requirements - to facilitate determining whether something is truly a requirement or if it is a solution that no one really "requires". We actually use some of the objectives models (Business Objectives Model, Objective Chains, and Requirements Mapping Matrix) in particular to help ensure that requirements truly help solve a business problem and add value to the business. If something isn't a requirement, but rather a piece of solution, it should become obvious in those models and can be cut from the requirements.

Glorious Goodwood?
Just for this year, would you miss the revival meeting to see Frankel v. Canford Cliffs next week?
Sorry but I thought the revival is in September, 2011-09-18,or maybe you are asking a hyperthetical question.
I was in hospital when the hillclimb etc was on for real and later sat up till 3'am to watch that Festival of speed on ITV3ps who or what is Frankel v.Canford Cliffs?
sorry if I lost you GBt, let me try to explain:
There is a horse called 'Frankel' named after a legendary American trainer. This beast remains unbeaten including winning some Grade 1 (important) races, and the 2000 guineas (very important!). Some suggest he might be a bit of a wonder horse! He's putting his reputation on the line next week at Goodwood in a much hyped race against another really good horse called Canford Cliffs. The clash has got me a bit excited and I thought if I had the hypothetical choice of Glorious Goodwood next week or Goodwood revival in September and could only do one, I would (just for this year) prefer next week.
It's on the TV next wednesday, let me know if you decide to watch it :-)
2000guineas- April '11 (good viewing): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghUY0k4YX1k
Well I used to like going to the Dogs, mainly at Walthamstow Stadium, or (Stadium Harley)and when we were kids my sisters and me got dragged off to the Easter Point to points at Fakenham.
Apart from that and seeing the horses on the gallop at Newmarket, when we went past en route home to Norfolk, or Snetterton after moving back down here, and usually watching the National, that is about my limit with horse racing, however thanks to your good offices in explaining, and something stirring in the few operable grey cells, will watch that race. Oh yes and I had a lady friend in Esher once which is near a horesy track?
I was in hospital overnight last week and got transport home and as we were about to pass Lancaster Motors, in Colchester,and the attendant, asked if we had a big win on the lotto, which car would it be-he nominated a Porsche GT3. I had a nice Maseratti GT lined up, in Gunmetal with black wheels-and hopefully red leather interior.
Then a regular elderly daily outpatient to a clinic apparantly, was asked what tips he had for Newmarket that weekend, and I think one or both those names were mentioned(despite that I had my money on them being boxers)anyways, any tips that might help fill the cookie jar, vis a vis my Masser fund with a few Trifectas?
Oh yep, and track down that errant TVR Trident ragtop for the wind in the hairless, experience, once and for all-I tried a Clipper down in Chepstow too. The dealer therein was asking 6500 pounds in 1991, advertised as a big block, it was a small block mustang as per,I couldnt sanction a loan and to be honest very kitty car, if b...... fast, but I bought a TBird for £3grand half what they were going for then-the Clipper was reputedly sold for £1800 at auction, to John brown Ltd, a year ot two on and I spent another 3 grand on my TBird, over a ten year period and wont say what I got in return,,,so either way an each way bet didnt garner any dividends.
blimey Gbt, after an unpromising start seems like you've seen your share of 4 legged racing over the years. Funny that you mention Walthamstow and Sandown (Esher), as I used to be a regular at the stow during the 90's and Sandown was 'home' track for the gigi's! Maybe we can come back after Wednesday and see how this plays out- that's assuming they both of them make it to the track! good luck,

When I've occasionally backed gee-gees they've always run like seaside donkies. Mrs p once said: "Study the form..." In a quick retort said, "You can't censure me for picking a duff horse. How many horses do you see reading the back pages?"
BTW, I live scarily close to Sandown. Visited many times on promos (non horse related).
small world pp, played cricket for years at West End Lane, round the back of Sandown! Usually followed by a trip to the 'Star' at Hersham!
the winner looked very good on Wednesday
I was sitting listening to Ray Davies earlier and the Choral Society choir and whist they were singing Shangri-la, or was it Thank you for the days,I suddenly recalled in the one functional grey cell, I was sposed to watch that race, however as I sailed a few days ago, the first time in a small boat since easter, I decided it was a bit gusty and not really being fully fit yet, opted to be in the starting box instead, so after working the handycaps and posting results in the dry lounge, it would have been too late anyway!
darnit-are there any nags running anywhere named shangri-la
Where did the two named horses come?
Where did the two named horses come?
Labelled as 'the duel on the downs', they came 1st and 2nd Gbt, but Frankel was simply breathtaking.

UPDATE: The Twitter account @MayorJonesRVA has been suspended. Stay with 8News on air and online for further updates.
RICHMOND (WRIC) – Richmond officials want a Twitter account alleging itself to be Mayor Dwight Jones removed from the site.
On Monday, November 17, @MayorJonesRVA sent out its first tweet and was quickly followed by media outlets, organizations and members of the Richmond community.
Even though the account seemed to be the official Twitter handle for the Mayor, the account holder is not Jones according to the Mayor's office. They say it is impersonating the Mayor in a public arena.
"This impersonation of an elected, government official is not appropriate and poses a dishonest voice to the public," says Secretary Tammy Hawley in a statement.
At first the impersonator seemed real and talked about current events and interacting with followers, but then things got weird.
Like this tweet that said "I prefer a secluded evening by the riverside with my harmonica…and my overpaid security detail."
"I heard about it, and I saw some of the tweets," Jones laughed.
The Office of the Mayor is currently completing all necessary paper work to have this account removed from Twitter.
But that could be tough because of this one word – "parody."
Twitter does allow users to create parody, commentary or fan accounts with no consequences.
And even if someone is clearly breaking the rules on twitter, it could be tough to take action against them.
"I would say Twitter is not quick to respond," says John B. Farmer of Leading-Edge Law Group, PLC. "They are sometimes hard to get in contact with, but they do have a process. They are not as quick as Facebook as possible."
As for the real Mayor Jones, he may start a twitter account soon.
"I think that I will get one. And I think when I get one I will let people know that this is the real Mayor Jones."

Currently my family has an 11 year old female black cat with 3 white spots on her belly named Moe and a 1 year old female gray, white, and light brown tabby named Snickers
Moe had two other siblings named Larry and Curly (also black with white spots). My brother named them after we discovered them in our backyard in 2002. The cats were named before we discovered Moe and Larry were female and Curly was male. The cats didn't get along that well, so their names fit perfectly. Unfortunately, Larry and Curly ran away after we moved in 2007. We adopted Snickers in May 2012 from a friend of my brother. We named her Snickers because she has all the colors of a Snickers candy bar.
Obviously, family likes to name our cats after food/candy. From 1994 to 2009 we had a black cat named Oreo and just last month my brother and his fiancee adopted a black and brown and blue eyed kitten they named Peanut. I am a coffee addict, so if I ever get a cat of my own I want to name it after a coffee drink. Haha.

Celebrate Japanese culture at Steveston Museum on Sunday
The pounding tempo of taiko drums and the haunting music of the shakuhachi bamboo flute are among the free experiences visitors can enjoy at Steveston Museum's Picnic in the Past – Japan Style on Sunday, August 17 from noon to 4 p.m.
Bring a blanket and picnic lunch, and enjoy the Japanese-inspired activities in the park surrounding the museum.
Richmond's own Tetsu Taiko will kick off proceedings with an athletic drumming demonstration. Afterwards, Alcvin Ryuzen Ramos, one of Canada's leading shakuhachi bamboo flautists, will play his evocative music for all to hear.
Visitors will also be encouraged to take part in a casual drop-in workshop where they can learn how to tie a summer style kimono called a yukata, as well as try out some Japanese folk dancing steps.
Throughout the afternoon, an origami master will teach those interested how to fold paper into various shapes – from cute animals to intricate figures. Children can challenge their creativity by making gyotaku, Japanese-style fish prints, and a cardboard version of koinoburi, a traditional carp-shaped windsock.
Everyone can end their visit by writing a wish and tying it to the Steveston Museum's Rope of Dreams.
For more information on Picnic in the Past – Japan Style, please call the Steveston Museum Coordinator at 604-718-8439 or visit www.richmond.ca/stevestonmuseum.
