Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was presented to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's third oldest nameplate presently in production. Initial sales projections predicted less than 100,000 systems for the first year. This mark was gone beyond in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold during the model year (a record), and in its very first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were developed.
Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, but several modifications were made at the standard opening of the brand-new model year (beginning August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some models, the intro of alternators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. In the case of at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some unusual quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made adequate difference to warrant designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has actually withstood with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Wilmington CA are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more stringent contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the first time in vehicle history that the Huge 3 were having to compete with imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the first version but, due to the extra devices required to fulfill brand-new US emission and safety policies, was heavier than the very first model. Performance was minimized and in the first year just 385,993 cars were sold.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Wilmington CA were offered in between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was redesigned a third time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was actually huge enough for 4 people. The trunk was larger therefore was the engine bay. The body designs offered included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang acted as an Indianapolis 500 speed car and Ford developed 10,478 celebratory reproductions. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

The sixth international conference sponsored by FNI will address visual culture in early modern Germany. Artists, writers, preachers, musicians, and performers, as well as those whom they may represent, need audiences. In a society saturated with images, visualization, whether literal or imaginative, becomes a dynamic tool for communication. In early print culture writers, artists, and publishers experimented with how to combine visual images with text in order to make their messages more effective. Authors, such as Hans Sachs, often engaged their audiences through verbal pictures, such as vivid descriptions of settings and people. During the Early Modern period religious propagandists, political writers, satirists, cartographers, the scientific community, and others experimented with new uses of visual images. Practitioners of many disciplines adopted visual criteria for testing truth claims, investigating pressing problems, and representing knowledge.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WLTX) - Patience has been a virtue when dealing with April the Giraffe, a lot of people across the country have been watching the zoo cam for weeks waiting for her to give birth. One South Carolina mom in Myrtle Beach decided to show her up.
Erin Dietrich, a Myrtle Beach mother of three, says she watches April on the zoo cam every night.
"I have pregnancy insomnia, I can't sleep at night," Dietrich said, "so when I'm up at night I'm just like, 'hmm, let me just check April and see if she's had her baby yet!'"
Dietrich says she seems to be alone in her excitement.
"My husband and all my friends are like, 'what is your obsession with this giraffe?'" Dietrich laughed.
Scott Dietrich, Erin's Husband, says he really does not understand.
"I just found out April was a giraffe that was pregnant," Scott Dietrich said.
Seeing his wife's excitement, though, gave him the idea to buy a giraffe mask. Two days and $16 later, the two decided to take the mask and make their own baby cam.
"First I kind of just walked around because that's the video of her, she's kind of just walking around," Erin Dietrich said. "Then I did some squats, some lunges, we're dancing a little bit, just hanging out!"
RELATED: LIVE VIDEO: Giraffe birth at NY zoo
"We were going to do it for one minute, but I saw that people were really starting to watch Erin with the giraffe mask so I was like ok, keep going," Scott Dietrich said.
"I'm telling you it was not premeditated, this morning I'm like, 'God, I would've planned that better if I knew it would've turned into this,'" Erin Dietrich said.
The Dietrich's say it has come with its criticism.
"Just, you know, 'why are you doing this, why are you making fun of a giraffe,'" Erin Dietrich said.
But Erin says they're just a wacky family of five, soon to be six, who's happy to have made some smiles.
"Just having fun and trying to humor myself the last few days of this pregnancy," Erin Dietrich laughed.
Erin says they will be having a son named Porter. Since she can't name her son April, she's hoping maybe April will name her baby after him.

Hespeler named The Day's All-Area Swimmer of the Year
Jessica Hespeler makes things look easy.
Two individual events at the Eastern Connecticut Conference championship and two meet records. Two State Open titles. High school All-America honors. Division I scholarship.
Here's something you should know, however, about Hespeler, a Ledyard High School senior and The Day's 2012 All-Area Swimmer of the Year: Virginia Tech, from which Hespeler has accepted a partial scholarship to swim next season, is getting a fighter.
"Jessica is that special swimmer/athlete that is able to combine the three main qualities that make a great swimmer," Ledyard coach Alan Opsahl said this week. "She has the natural physical ability and stroke coordination, she has the focus and determination to practices and conditioning and she has a natural understanding of race strategy combined with a competitive attitude."
Just don't underestimate the part regarding her focus and determination. Not this year.
Hespeler, who began swimming when she was 9, has competed for coach Christine Pelham since she was 12, most recently with the Connecticut Aquatic Club (CAC). Earlier this year, Pelham was hospitalized due to a serious illness, leaving Hespeler and the other members of the club reeling.
"She's been an incredible coach for me throughout the years," Hespeler said, speaking of Pelham, who is still recovering while the team is coached by her son Jay. "Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today. She's a very experienced coach who knows everything about swimming.
"She basically knew what would be just right for me."
Hespeler, getting ready to compete at the Junior National Championships in Indianapolis in August, remained with CAC, but also began driving to New Britain a few times a week to train with Bill Ball of the SoNoCo Swim Club, based at Central Connecticut State University.
So Hespeler's summer consisted of getting up at 5 a.m. to train, working 10 a.m.-7 p.m. as a lifeguard at Shennecossett Beach Club and going to bed early to start the day all over again.
The payoff came in Indianapolis. Hespeler reached the A final at the national meet in the 400-meter freestyle, finishing seventh. She calls it the biggest race of her career.
She then started her senior season at Ledyard as a high school All-American in the 200-yard freestyle, having received news of her selection over the summer.
Hespeler's 200 time of 1:50.19, recorded in winning the 2011 State Open, qualified as one of the top 100 in the nation.
The scholarship offer to Virginia Tech followed.
Then came the ECC meet at UConn-Avery Point. Hespeler set meet records in winning the 200 individual medley (2 minutes, 11.42 seconds) and the 100 freestyle (52.99).
She went on to win the Class M state championship in the 200 freestyle in 1:51.78, but the other event she chose to swim at states, the 100 freestyle, left people to wonder why a long-distance swimmer like Hespeler would want to swim a sprint at the state level.
Hespeler, who is 5-foot-9 ½ and won the 500 freestyle at the 2011 State Open, admits the distances are her strength.
"I have more time to think about the race; 50s are so short," said Hespeler, who came in third in Class M in the 100. "In the 500 or the mile, you get a pace going. You're focusing on the race, keeping long strokes."
But on Saturday, Nov. 17, Hespeler had already wrapped up the 200 freestyle title at the State Open meet at Yale University when she stepped to the starting line for the 100 free.
"I don't think Jessica led the whole 100 free until the last stroke," Opsahl said.
Hespeler, swimming in lane 5, finished first in 51.58 seconds, capping her distinguished career at Ledyard.
Now, Hespeler will test herself once again.
"I'm so excited about swimming in college," Hespeler said. "I know it's going to be intense, a lot more training. I'm just going to see where my hard work will take me.
"… When I started, I just had a love for the sport; I loved being in the water. As I got to bigger meets and more competition, I got that drive to be the best I could be."

Anne Thomas is a teacher who was living in Sendai, Japan, at the time of the massive earthquake and tsunami. A letter that she sent to her friends and family, describing resilience and cooperation amid the devastation, went viral.
"If someone has water running in their home, they put out sign so people can come to fill up their jugs and buckets," she wrote. "People keep saying, 'Oh, this is how it used to be in the old days when everyone helped one another.' . . . Somehow as I experience the events happening now in Japan, I can feel my heart opening very wide. My brother asked me if I felt so small because of all that is happening. I don't. Rather, I feel as part of something happening that much larger than myself. This wave of birthing (worldwide) is hard, and yet magnificent."
Still in Sendai, Anne kept writing letters, which are now being published in a book. A year after the tsunami, she sends this update:
Dear Family and Friends,
It seems hard to believe it has been a year since the Great Japan Earthquake and Tsunami came rumbling through, causing so much havoc and dismay. So much has happened since that tumultuous time, and so much has yet to be done. But where are we now? How are things one year later?
Change is very uneven. So the way you would answer that depends on where you are. In Sendai, life bustles. Construction is going on everywhere. Old buildings are being torn down or repaired. New places are springing up. Water and sewage systems are being replaced and roads repaired. It is definitely a city rebuilding itself, and stands proud in the process.
The magnificent supportive beauty so overtly apparent a year ago is still with us. But the general feeling now is one of deep sadness, or of waiting.
But step outside the city proper or look deeper than physical reconstruction, and things can be very different. Last year, of course, there were seas and mountains of rubble, thousands of people in shelters, and rescue work in full swing. Now much, but not all, of the immediate debris has been cleared away, leaving huge tracts of empty space with only frames of houses left to show where thriving neighborhoods once stood. Evacuation centers have reverted to their original purposes – schools, hospitals, and community centers. And now temporary houses have sprung up along the entire coast and within cities. Some are in small groups with a few families, others almost like villages. But the clearing up of the debris continues almost non-stop, and the remains of bodies are still being uncovered.
Happily, ever so slowly people are being allowed to open temporary shops, housed in structures similar to the new homes. These small establishments are in clusters, making small restaurant alleys or teeny arcades of shops for fish, vegetables, or tea.
"We are so thankful for this opportunity to work again," one man told me. "It gives us hope. But we can be here only two years. Then we have to stand more on our own. Can we do it? I don't know. The entire backbone of our economy, fishing, has been broken. It will take a long time, say 10 years or more, before we are back to where we were. That is, if we ever get there. Our future is so uncertain. We have today. Only that. I have this shop. I hope it does well. I hope we all do well. We are supporting each other. But we need other people's support, too. Thank you for coming to my shop today."
Other people are not as fortunate. The economic situation in this region is very depressed. Thousands are still without work; hundreds are homeless. Displaced people from Fukushima have flocked to Sendai and live in rickety old dormitories, waiting, hoping to someday be allowed back home. But the fishing and farming industries, the basis of that once-welcoming prefecture, are in shambles. People just shake their heads and say, "poor souls" whenever Fukushima is mentioned.
Depression is on the rise, and suicides. So volunteers are being trained as "Listening Counselors." They go and simply listen, lending support as people pour out their woes and try to work through the confusions of their current lives.
Everywhere there is still a strong urge to support and help others. The magnificent supportive beauty so overtly apparent a year ago is still with us. But the general feeling now is one of deep sadness, or of waiting. Sadness and wonder. Waiting and determination. And also hope that comes from the strong belief that if we try hard enough, we can make things better. And we make every effort to find the courage to accept what life gives us and find reasons to be grateful.
Coupled with the darkness and depression of these times, there is a sense of promise. Priorities have shifted. Values are more basic, more connected to people. Gratitude for small things once taken for granted finds a place in every home.
The other day I went to visit friends and their new baby. "She is our future," they proudly said to me. "And she is our contribution to Japan's future, too. That is why we named this teeny sparkle of hope what we did: Niina, "Encircled in a Rainbow."

Raising Hair Sheep and Meat Goats
By Frank Craddock and Richard Machen
Professor and Extension Sheep and Goat Specialist
and Professor and Extension Livestock Specialist
Texas A&M University System
Published March 2011
Rural areas in many parts of the United States are being rapidly developed and urbanized. Many urban dwellers want to escape to the country to live a quiet, peaceful life or enjoy recreational opportunities on their own land. As a result, large tracts in rural areas are being divided into properties of 5 to 100 acres.
New rural landowners almost always want to maintain or obtain an ad valorem tax exemption, which is most often granted for agricultural use of the land. They often decide to start livestock enterprises to meet tax exemption requirements. However, most taxing authorities require one to demonstrate that such an enterprise is economically viable. In other words, owning one animal as a family pet will not qualify property for a tax exemption. Two enterprises best suited to small acreage and most likely to be profitable are meat goats and hair sheep.
These two enterprises require minimal facilities (both in construction, expense and space required), minimal labor (both time and physical effort), and minimal animal husbandry expertise. They should also have readily accessible markets for excess production and unwanted animals.
Because livestock enterprises depend upon forage, the most critical decision is the appropriate stocking rate for the land. Stocking rate is the number of animals per unit of area of land. It is typically expressed in acres per animal unit. An animal unit consumes 26 pounds of forage per day. One 100-pound ewe of a hair sheep breed or one 100-pound doe of a meat type breed equals approximately 0.15 animal unit equivalent. So, seven ewes or seven does equal one animal unit, meaning they consume about 26 pounds of forage daily. Smaller ewes and does would have a lower animal unit equivalent and larger ewes and does would have a higher animal unit equivalent. For sheep and goats every 10 pounds of body weight is equal to approximately 0.015 animal unit equivalent. Also, not all of a producer's acres are grazable so the number of grazable acres and the pounds of forage the land produces would have to be determined to know how many ewes or goats could be grazed there. Small acreage landowners usually overestimate the carrying capacity (sustainable stocking rate) of their property.
Landowners who graze too many animals for a long period of time will destroy the productivity of their land. Desirable, nutritious plants disappear and undesirable plants multiply, so animals do not perform well without costly supplemental feed. With the loss of native range plants, rainfall cannot percolate into the ground easily and tends to run off. Run-off causes soil erosion and pollutes surface water. The regeneration of just 1 inch of topsoil will require several lifetimes.
Each property is unique, with different soil types, topography and plants. Therefore, the appropriate stocking rate needs to be determined. Your county extension agent or a representative of the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) can help determine your stocking rate accurately by determining the amount of forage your land is likely to produce. They will advise you about the number of acres of your land that will be required to support an animal unit with minimal supplemental feed.
Because of their small size, meat goats and hair sheep are very suitable for small acreages. Goats eat more browse plants than other domestic livestock; therefore, they are best for managing or sculpting woody plant habitats. Sheep prefer forbs (weeds) and grass. Some plants are not palatable to sheep and goats and will not be controlled by grazing or browsing. There are also some plants that are toxic and can kill sheep and goats if eaten in large quantities. These unpalatable and toxic plants vary across the U.S.
One of the main attributes of meat goats and hair sheep for small acreage landowners is that they do not have to be shorn. Hiring an experienced shearing crew and marketing small quantities of wool or mohair can be a difficult chore for the small producer. Another attribute for hair sheep is that they are more tolerant of internal parasites than our traditional sheep.
The major breeds of meat goats are the Boer, Spanish, Kiko, Myotonic, or fainting goats, and the Pygmy.
There are two pure breeds of hair sheep found in the U.S., the Barbados Blackbelly and the St. Croix. The other three breeds—the Dorper/White Dorper, the Katahdin, and the Royal White—are really composites as they all have some degree of traditional breeds in their ancestry. They do not shed their wool as well as the two pure breeds.
Novice buyers often pay too much for livestock, purchase poor quality stock, or both. Do some research ahead of time. Subscribe to and read industry publications, find people you can trust, talk to trained professionals and visit with breeders. They can all be valuable sources of information.
Young animals (weaning age to 1 year old) are usually less expensive than mature, producing animals. The trade-off is the delay before you have a marketable product. If mature, bred females are purchased, kids or lambs could be of marketable size in as few as four months. If weaned females 4 to 6 months old are purchased, it could be at least 10 to 12 months before offspring are marketable.
The three greatest obstacles in raising sheep and goats are predators, fences, and internal parasites. As rural areas are developed, predation from bobcats and foxes probably will decrease, but coyotes, unconfined dogs and feral hogs will be an increasing threat. Adequate fencing, guard animals such as dogs, llamas and donkeys and other predator management techniques are a must if your operation is to be economically viable.
Fencing is very expensive. A four- or five-strand barbed wire fence for cattle is not suitable for sheep and goats. If barbed wire is used for sheep and goats you must have 10 to 12 strands and they must be stretched very tight. Perimeter fencing should be 39- to 48-inch net wire with vertical stays of the net wire spaced 6 or 12 inches apart. Six inch spacings are generally used for sheep, while 12 inch spacings are used for goats (horned animals) so they can get their heads in and out. Smooth or barbed wire can be stretched above the net. Placing a barbed wire near the ground on the outside of the fence will deter some predators from digging under the fence.
To manage sheep and goats a small pen or corral is needed. Fences in handling or working pens should be al least 48 inches high. Barbed wire should not be used in the working facilities. One pen large enough to hold the entire herd or flock is required. A smaller crowd pen and alley adjacent to the large holding pen will allow individual handling of animals. By adding a gate opening to the outside on the small end of the alley, the alley can be used as a loading chute when transporting animals. A cage that slides into the back of a pickup or a small bumper pull stock trailer can be used to transport animals.
Sheep and goats also require shelter from bad weather. Dense stands of brush can provide adequate protection in many parts of the country. If a shelter must be built, all that is needed is a simple structure with a 4 to 7 foot high roof and solid walls on the north, west, and east sides. Allow 10 to 12 square feet of sheltered area per mature animal. Consider building portable shelter. Shelters built on skids can be moved where needed.
Internal parasites are a big threat to a sheep or goat enterprise. The primary gastrointestinal parasite is Haemonchus contortus, commonly called the stomach worm. There are only a few oral medications that are used to control this pest, however, H. contortus has become resistant to most of them. It is recommended that one select sheep and goats that are resistant or resilient to internal parasites. Hair sheep have a definite advantage in this respect.
Other health concerns with sheep and goats are coccidiosis and Clostridium perfringens type C&D. Consult your veterinarian for help in setting up a program to manage parasites and other health problems.
The gestation period for sheep and goats is 150 days, so it is possible to have two lanb or kid crops each year. With a continuous mating system, it is likely that there will be three crops in a 24 month period. The period of greatest breeding activity is from September through December. The estrous cycle for does and ewes is 21 and 17 days, respectively. Therefore, the breeding season should be at least 45 days. The ratio of males to females should not be more than 1:50 for mature males and 1:8-12 for young males under 12 months old. Kidding/lambing time requires intensive labor to ensure maximum survival of the offspring. Bred females should be observed morning and evening, with assistance provided if needed.
As previously mentioned, the stocking rate and the availability of forage largely determine the nutritional status of grazing animals. If the amount of forage is balanced with the number of animals being grazed, there may be little need for supplemental feeding. Sometimes supplemental feeding may be required during the winter or during a drought if forage quality is poor. A mature animal is usually given 1/2 to 2 pounds of supplemental feed per day, depending on the nutrient deficiency and the type of feed used.
Mature commercial meat goats and hair sheep cost from $50 to $500 per head. Profitability largely depends on the animals' reproductive performance. The higher the production cost, the more kids/lambs must be produced for the enterprise to be profitable. Kids and lambs are usually weaned at 4 to 6 months of age (45 to 70 pounds). Prices are cyclical within the year, influenced by religious and ethnic holidays and the price and availability of imported lamb and goat meat. Prices usually are lowest from July 1 through mid-November, improve from mid-November through the first of the year, and reach their annual high just before Easter. Kids and lambs may be sold through commission companies, at flea markets or road-side stands, or directly from the farm or ranch.

Matt G Wright needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 616 designs submitted by 118 freelance designers.
IWC Holdings is a private equity firm which is primarily focused on long term investments in the residential and commercial real estate space.
Established in 2005 to take advantage of attractive real estate investment opportunities in the Caribbean, the firm is now building on its initial success in those markets and the opportunities now created by the downturn in the US real estate market, to significantly expand its client base and property portfolio.
We seek to provide long term wealth creation opportunities for our clients, through fundamental value based investment analysis and prudent risk management.
Building strong partnerships with our investors and engendering their confidence and trust in our ability to profitably and responsibly manage their capital is our ultimate goal.
Our investors can be best described as sophisticated high net worth individuals and institutional investors seeking to diversify their asset portfolios through exposure to attractive long term real estate invesment opportunities.
IWC is looking for a simple but unique logo encompassing values that a financial institution, entrusted with stewardship of investor capital, wants its brand to stand for - values such as financial strength, trust, confidence, innovation, experience, expertise, customer focused, diligence.
The logo should include the IWC name as well as a simple graphic or icon.
Initial use of logo will be IWC's web site, but the logo should display well in multiple electronic and print formats.
Designers are free to use their creativity in colour schemes but should stay away from overly loud colors (e.g. flourescent greens, pinks, etc). We do like reds and blues for base colours and yellow, grays, white and black for accents.
Graphic should be bold and stand out from the crowd and should be easily recognizable and associated with our company by the investor market.
There is no requirement for the Graphic to be directly related to real estate. Designers are encouraged to develop a logo that would not only be applicable to the company's current main line of busines (real estate ) but would also be equally appropriate should the firm decide to diversify into other non-real estate asset classes in the future.
Examples of a few logos that we like can be seen at:

Wigs and shoes and butts and boobs! It must be a Lady Gaga vid!
Wigs and shoes and butts and boobs! It must be a Lady Gaga vid!
I can't help it, I still love her.
Gaga's new art film, directed by Inez + Vinoodh is everything you'd expect a Gaga vid to be. The two and a half minute vid opens with Gaga saying her "pain is exploding as electronic music," and goes on to show Mother Monster clad in dirt, shedding tears, performing oral sex on a shoe, and rocking some awesomely bad "bubba" teeth. Ya know, girl stuff!
My shoes are too sexy, I can't help but wanting to molest them! #whitegirlproblems
If Gaga isn't your taste, maybe you'll like these guys. They do hilarious parodies and make my day in general.
"Let's try on some bras with claws!"
Which one do you guys prefer? Tough call, I know.

"If it was up to me, I would have crawled back to some little track where nobody knew anything about me but my wife wouldn't let me," said Zimmerman Sunday morning at Fair Grounds, shortly after attending mass with Jenny and their 11-month old daughter Race Hannah. "She said I was too good a rider to do that. She believed in me, and after what I put her through last summer, I had to do whatever she wanted. She stuck by me and went through all this with me. I owe her everything for that."
"What happened was – I messed up big-time," said Zimmerman. "After a year and a half of sobriety I went out on a binge. I let everybody down – my family and a lot of other people who believed in me."
Exactly 110 days after being picked up by police, Zimmerman was released from the Polk County, Iowa, jail and went directly into rehab for another 30 days.
"It was the scariest ordeal I ever went through," said Zimmerman Sunday of his summer and fall of incarceration. "It was brutal – an awful experience. I'd been in trouble with the law before, but never anything like that. Now, all I can do is put it behind me and move forward."
Someone once said, it's not how you fall, it's what you do after you get up that matters most, and if that is so, Zimmerman seems well on his way to redemption. With limited opportunities, the talented reinsman entered Sunday's race day in 12th position in the local rider standings with 14 winners from 177 mounts.
"I told him when he came to me and asked me to take his book that we were going to have an uphill battle at first," said veteran Louisiana-based agent Rick Mocklin. "But racetrackers tend to be a very forgiving group of people, and if you mess up one time – a lot of them are willing to give you a second, or even a third chance if they see that you are trying to make things right again.
"Since he's gotten back down here this season, Ramsey has proved that to a lot of people," said Mocklin. "In that sense, he's his own best agent. He sells himself and he's proving to people that he's dedicated to riding again and wanting to do the right thing. He's been showing up every morning and showing everyone he's willing to work hard for them."
Some of Zimmerman's better moments in the past came here in New Orleans five years ago when he rode Jerrold and Shirley Schwartz's Cloudy's Knight to victory in the Grade III Fair Grounds Handicap and then finished second by a half-length to Eclipse Award-winning turf horse Einstein in the Grade II Mervin Muniz Memorial Handicap.
Later that season, Zimmerman rode Cloudy's Knight to victory in the Grade I Canadian International at Woodbine for the biggest win of his career.
"One of the proudest moments of my life," said Zimmerman of that Canadian International win. "I'm proudest of my two children (his son Ryder is 6), but 'Cloudy' is Number Three.
"Actually, coming back down here hasn't been as bad as I thought it could be," said Zimmerman. "A lot of people seem to have accepted me and have given me a chance to ride their horses. Mike Burgess started using me right away, and guys like Bob Young and Bernie Flint have also given me some nice horses to ride. Also, a lot of the littler guys have used me on their horses.
"Considering what happened to me, I'm doing quite well," said Zimmerman, who once rode seven winners in a night card at Fairmount Park and finished second by a nose with the other two. "If I keep working hard like I'm doing right now, I think things are going to keep getting better for me. I really believe that."
FAIR GROUNDS' FIRST LADY OF FLOWERS BACK ON DUTY – Alice Stevenson, Fair Grounds' unofficial longtime local botanist, recently returned to her duties taking care of the local flora following emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix more than a month ago.
"She's recouping gradually," said David Ball of Fair Grounds operations and valet services, who is Stephenson's brother. "She's on a bland diet now. She can't eat New Orleans-style food anymore, and she's lost a little weight, but she's doing great. Also, I think she's doing a lot better now that she's back taking care of her plants. She couldn't wait to get back and do that."
LEADING TRAINER ASMUSSEN SCORES TRAINING TRIPLE – Fair Grounds' defending trainer champion Steve Asmussen scored with two horses he owns to win Saturday's Daily Double at the local oval and then added a third winner to his totals in the seventh race of the afternoon.
Also, jockeys Shaun Bridgmohan and Rosie Napravnik, as well as apprentice C. J. McMahon, were all credited with two wins apiece during Saturday's 10-race program.

Knife Sharpening and Maintenance
This entry was posted on December 6, 2010.
It's no secret, any knife you use will eventually get dull. Sharp blades go soft, and those smooth slices you're used to making in your tomatoes and chicken thighs will turn to clunky, jagged scratches. But don't fret! We're here to help keep those blades nice and sharp. Just don't hurt yourself with those fancy new knife edges.
So let's get started. The simplest way to keep a knife sharp is to prevent it from being unnecessarily worn down or damaged. This is very easy, just store them correctly, wash them by hand after every use, and use them only for their intended purpose.
Knives need to be stored in a block set or on a magnetic strip. Storing them in a drawer is a bad idea because the knives will knock against other metal utensils which can cause all kinds of trouble for your knife edge, including chipping, cracking, micro-chipping, and overall unnecessary wear and tear that will dull your blade. If you insist on storing them in a drawer then buy some plastic sleeves for the blades to preserve them.
Washing your knives correctly means washing them by hand, and not letting them sit in a dirty sink for a day before cleaning them. A dishwasher is bad for knives because it knocks them around when they're being washed, which brings up the same problems you get with throwing them into a drawer. And knives, even stainless steel knives, shouldn't be allowed to sit in water. Wash them after you're finished using them. Leaving a knife to sit in water is bad because you can get build up of bacteria inside the micro-abrasions of the blade, and the blade itself can begin to rust. Rust is more likely to happen with an iron blade, but it's still good practice. The other reason you don't want to leave a knife in water is because the liquid can seep into the handle and start causing problems. I once had a knife that would leak dirty black water from the handle because I had let it sit in the sink water for too long. There was no way to clean it, I had to toss it out.
Knives must also be used for their intended purpose. That means not using them to cut off the plastic packaging of your new home appliance, that's what scissors are for. Don't use them as can openers or box cutters or as screwdrivers. Knives are cooking utensils and need to be used properly. This also means being aware of what your cutting surface is. If you're cutting your food on a glass surface it is going to dull your blade. Cutting boards are wooden for a reason- they're easier on your knives. Some people opt for serrated knives when they don't want to spring for a good cutting board. This is because the raised edges in the knife preserve the cutting edge by keeping it from making contact with the plate. But these knives can be difficult to sharpen, so there are different opinions on what's best. The other part of knife maintenance is an obvious and very important one- Sharpening!
In order to sharpen your blades effectively you're going to need an abrasive. There are several different types on the market, and it can be easy to spend several hundred dollars here. But most will agree that the Japanese whetstones are some of the best sharpening utensils around. These stones come in different grits, which refers to the roughness of the stone. A smaller number like 250 will have a very rough surface, one of the roughest available actually. 1000 is a medium-fine grit, and will have a less coarse surface. 6,000 is super fine grit, and will have a surface that will feel almost smooth to the touch. These different grits perform different functions for sharpening your blade, but you'll need all 3 if you really want to have a good, long lasting knife.
Now, this blog would have to be about 50 pages for us to go into every detail about sharpening, and we recommend this website for readers who are interested in becoming masters of their knives. But we're just going to go over the very basics here. First of all you need to know what angle you want to achieve. Different knives have different angles, and the thinner the angle, the sharper your blade. Think back to your geometry- a 90 degree angle is like the corner of a square. 45 degrees is a perfectly diagonal angle. An axe will be about a 50 degree angle. A kitchen cleaver may have a 40 degree angle or so, and a typical kitchen knife will be somewhere between 15 and 35 degrees.
To start sharpening your knife, rub a coarse stone back and forth across the knife edge. This is going to wear away the old, dull metal; and you need a coarse grit for this part because the finer grits are more for shaping and polishing the metal, not so much for wearing it away.
You'll want to use a medium-fine grit when you start to form the angle of the blade and the edge because you're no longer peeling away the metal, but trying to form a shape out of it. So shape the angle of your blade by moving the medium-fine grit back and forth over it until you have your edge. The super fine grit has a very important part in the knife sharpening, and it comes next. Coarse and medium grit abrasives leave micro abrasions in the blade. These abrasions will catch on whatever you're cutting, and will make it more difficult to cut. So you've got to "polish" the blade with a super fine grit to smooth out the abrasions and you will want to finish the edge with a super-fine grit to give your cutting edge an extra sharp, super smooth cut. So you'll be using the super fine grit to almost clean and polish the knife. This will give it a fantastic look and a super accurate cut.
These are just the basic ideas to keep in mind when you're learning how to take care of your knives, but they will help make your knives last longer and act as more effective tools.
One thought on "Knife Sharpening and Maintenance"
A dishwasher is bad for knives because it knocks them around when they're being washed, which brings up the same problems you get with throwing them into a drawer.↓
