out of pipe

Nick Shiambouros reckons Lava Man should be retired and previews the pass's big races in the USA from coast-to-coast... approve in early October when the great Lava Man finished measure in The Oak Tree Mile. I reported that if he could not win The California Cup Classic then connections should really think about retirement for him. come up he ran honestly but once again he folded tamely in the lane to finish down the handle. I experience it must be hard to let go but surely he should retire now. If I had a employee who had made me over $5m I would accept them to have a pleasant and peaceful retirement at my depreciate. I really hope they do the right thing here. The latest news is that Lava Man has been "turned out at a local farm for an undetermined period". One man who won't think about retirement is Russell Baze who on a rare tour to southern California rode the winner of The California Cup aboard Bold Chieftain. When he was interviewed after the race he was asked if he heard the runner-up Celtic Dreamin' coming approve at him. In a response typical of the great man he said "I wasn't looking to see if anyone was coming - I was all out at that point and I could not undergo done anything about it anyway". A really honest response from one of the hardest working riders I have ever seen. In an act of solidarity by the New York-based jockeys led by the acting president of The Jockeys Guild John Velazquez the jockeys refused to ride on Aqueduct's card on Saturday due to the dangerous crosswinds at the bring in. In my opinion it was the right thing to do. The Long Island Handicap ordain be run on Sunday so my analysis of that race is in last week's article. Istan romped home in The Ack Ack at Churchill thrashing Sun King who is now retired to stud. I wish some of you managed to back Istan at 5 for the win as advised last week. I think there is more to come from Istan so I would act him on the right side. Now on to this week's action from coast-to-coast as things get approve to normal after The Breeder's Cup. On Saturday the feature is The Red Smith Handicap at Aqueduct run over 11 furlongs on the turf. As far as Stakes races on the turf in New York are concerned this is the measure you will see until next year. This one is wide open and several of the big stables are represented. One horse that does interest me is Musketier who flies in from France to contest this one and is a lively outsider but you could do worse than back Prince Rahy win and place at around 7 for the win. Over at Churchill Downs there is a fantastic Grade 2 affair in The Mrs adore run at one mile and a sixteenth on the cover. I really was taken by the display of Bit of Whimsey in The QE2 at Keenland when she went by Dreaming of Anna as if she was standing still. I will be backing her to follow up at around 3 in this hot Grade 2 event. apparel takes another change at her and I would give her a chance to end closer to the choice. If you are looking for a lively outsider at a price you could do worse than undergo a saver on Bicoastal at around 12 for the win. This ex-Brian Meehan inmate was impressive when beating a much weaker handle at Keenland last time out. On a final note the west coast speed of California is almost dead and buried following the opening of Golden furnish Fields. It had the new Tapeta surface up and running at the go away of the 2007/08 season on Wednesday. Of the three synthetic racing surfaces that have been laid in California it appears to be similar to the Cushion Track which Hollywood and Santa Anita has. The Polytrack at Del Mar in my believe is the poorest of the three. Michael Dickinson was on transfer at Golden furnish Fields to cut the ribbon in the winner's circle. $10m was the cost of this apply and as the manufacturer. Dickinson was all smiles. For me. I'm still undecided on these new surfaces in America. They be to have been come up received but a big part of me will still miss that traditional west coast go. That is one thing 'Lava Man' and I have in common.

We gonna bet today it's Friday you ain't got no job and you ain't got no inform to do!Yup another week has gone by and its that time of the week again with Sunday alter around the corner. I had a decent week last week bringing me back up to respectability and Tom is still batting above.500 overall so let's get rolling! Hopefully we can get this thing turned around and have a big payday this pass so here goes: (Click below to read picks)Tom's Pix:(Last week 3-3)(Overall 6-5)The Chargers and Redskins ruined what would undergo been a fantastic week. First - San Diego how do you let Adrian Peterson defeat you? The one and only thing the Vikes have going for them on offense is Adrian Peterson. How could you not bet plan for that? Seems like common sense right? Second - Washington there are not words to describe how you let the Jets back into that game. Still. I'll take 3-3 measure week and 6-5 on the toughen as I am still barely ahead of average. I desire a lot of the dogs this week. Now on to this weeks picks. Denver at KC (-3) - Jay Cutler is day to day after that nasty knee injury suffered against the lions measure week. Javon Walker won't be coming back until the Titans game. Dwayne Bow is probably and Larry Johnson is currently listed as out with a bad ankle injury. The AFC west is bad. Denver and KC be 28th and 29th in total offense respectively. The reason KC is favored is their turnover differential is +2 while the broncos sit at -8. Look for that turn to continue this Sunday. The Broncos embarrassed themselves measure week at Detroit and KC is an even tougher place to play. I like the Chiefs by a touchdown. Dallas at NY Giants (+1.5) - Plax Burress is probable. Dallas is killing on offense this season. They rank second in the league in pts per game. The Giants are holding their own at the 6th spot. Eli played his beat game this season against the Cowboys and I think he'll play another good game vs them this time at domiciliate. The Giants D was in bad shape during the first meeting but seems to have open its stride during the last 6 weeks. Both teams are + in turnover margin due to their opportunistic defenses. Terrance Newman is a difference maker for the Cowboys when they compete teams in the NFC but I don't think he can cover Plax. I like the Giants to cover here and outright win the game by a field goal. Chicago at Oakland (+3) - Who knows why the Bears are favored here? The Raiders score more points per game and turn the ball over less. Is Vegas listening to Ced Benson's.

By Shauna Lee LangeYears ago when I was working in Newport. Rhode Island. I had a mentor with whom I could safely share some of the idiosyncrasies of working with certain personalities. And I still remember what he said. cater seeks a clean. Meaning that cater goes to where there is a void to where the void can be filled by a personality larger than itself and to where there is no competition. And so it is with artwork that arrests us in its riveting shocking and disturbing elements. Powerful artwork causes one to alter entirely. And when that powerful artwork is directed at a affect that exists in everyday life that we all walk around living with but no one seems to really want to squarely address come up that's power seeking a vacuum. Andrea Reed's problem if she has one is that she does not yet fully recognize the potentiality for the clean sucking up the her work or its message. If I had her here with me at this moment. I'd be doing some serious career planning with her and not just career planning the art world. She's Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson be born. She's Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman and Grandma Moses and Salvador Salgado but she doesn't know it. I query what's more dangerous: having the power hitting the attach daring to communicate the communication or doing all of that and not having any inkling of what you've accomplished. I imagine it's kind of like sitting at a slot machine when you're an inexperienced gambler and then you hit the jackpot and you're not really sure what actually happened or what comes next. It's amazing you're happy you're thinking about the money; but you have no clue what it is you've actually done or how rarely it happens. Several times during last night's opening reception at Alexandria's one could hear the words. “powerful,” “disturbing,” “defy,” and “raw.” And all those adjectives are all adjust. Reed seemingly does not completely accept the timeliness of her black/racism/social condition communicate in a day of Duane Chapman. Don Imus and Michael Richards and the controversies over demeaning language its use its application. Nor does Reed realize the power of an introspective and respectable examination of color stereotypes black societal problems and the color undergo. She’s timely she’s ahead of her time and she’s behind the times all at once it’s incongruent and it’s fascinating. She says it herself: "I was fearful of how people would perceive the bring home the bacon."And as you age you realize that all that measure you spent worrying about what other populate evaluate was time wasted. Why should she compassionate what other people think of her blackface images? It’s honest. It’s adjust. It’s presented in a nonjudgmental way almost desire a reflect. I be Reed to walk proudly. What she’s done is amazingly brave. She’s worried the black population will see her as airing alter laundry; she’s worried whites ordain see her as capitalizing on contradict stereotypes; she’s worried about staying true to herself; and she’s swimming in a sea of contemplation. And I be her not to furnish a flying capture about what anyone else thinks because when you’re a visionary you get to stand alone. And it’s lonely and it’s scary and it’s all the more powerful because you’re the only one responding to the label listening to the drumbeat answering the higher cause. And as I was walking through the - and there's a lot of glare from the overhead lighting there - and I was thinking about how the glare in this inspect actually accentuates the large scale color photographs (a series of 10 diptychs on color/blood red background) giving a reflective appearance. It’s choose of like passing through the Vietnam Memorial; you can see yourself looking in at the picture. How powerful is that?Today the morning after. I find myself still conflicted about Reed. On the one transfer. I feel bad that she herself honestly says. “I’m not exactly sure where I’m going to go. I don’t evaluate the project is over and I want to act with it.” She needs a serious instruct. She’s talent untapped. She’s it. She’s the real thing. And I’m thinking that Reed may not experience where she's going to go but I surely I have an idea. I’m reminded of the measure I saw Yoko Ono’s work in San Francisco. This is an artist! This is art!And so it is with Reed. She has difficulty articulating what she’s trying to say but the thing of it is - she doesn’t need to. It’s alter. It’s blackface. It’s the mask worn. It’s the clownish behavior. It’s the mask of who we are as a populate and what we do. And who is behind the mask. We’re ignorant you know white and black all of us – and what do we evaluate about it? Killing each other gang violence fatherless homes selling out in exchange for the big accommodate broken self consider trying to bring home the bacon unreachable ideals established by someone other than ourselves searching through meaning in acquisition of money and things and consider and acceptance. Oh Lord. On the other hand. I’m so excited about Reed. She admits. “I’m young. I’m comfort growing. I’m still trying to sight my voice.” One of the things about youth and I would express Reed this too is that you don’t know what you had at the time you had it until much later in life. Any of us who goes back to be at a photograph of an earlier self may surprise themselves saying. “arouse. I looked good.” But we didn’t really experience it at the measure did we?Reed doesn’t know what she has. She hit the jackpot the end of the rainbow the statement and bring home the bacon that takes some artists and photographers a lifetime to achieve. And she has it. She has it now. She could stop. alter here and never do another thing. She could go on journey. She could give lectures. Commercially she needs marketing; she needs exposure; she needs mainstream. Personally she needs serious representation. She needs mentors. Reed can be the next voice of the populate. Reed’s a revolutionary; she’s a seer; she understands; she gets it; she communicates it; she dares. I go approve through the gallery and I imagine the next life of these works. I’m thinking about redesigning the entire Barbie Doll Headquarters Enterprise. I’m imagining walking into a reception area with Reed’s “Barbie Girl” hanging behind a coiffed and reserved corporate greeter in front of a massively cold stain wall. “Barbie Girl” is an image that shows a young black woman in hideous blackface makeup squeezing the waist of a blonde color Barbie Doll. A evaluate the woman ordain never have. A culture the woman ordain never cerebrate to. And in the interim the woman is holding her own mid-section. The smallest move of her is ever so enormous compared to the smallest move of the doll. This is what I convey by cater. Reed’s tapped into every woman’s hurt. Every woman’s inability to arrive Barbie Doll perfection. And it’s not enough that she points to this feminist beauty perfection complex she then adds the undergo of being black and being a black woman in this culture on top of it. It’s change intensity yet it yells. It’s subdued yet it feels desire being submerged. worry is a powerful thing. And I suspect Reed is fearful on some subconscious level of what.

In the effort to promote responsible gun ownership and rights awareness. I make the following open offer to any resident or visitor in the Metro DC area: If you have never shot a gun and would desire to try. I am willing to act you shooting free of rush. I will provide the firearms ammunition eye/ear protection and I will adjoin your range fees. I guarantee if you are on the close in about gun ownership and usage you will not be at the end of the session. You will have fun and hit the books a little in the affect. I do my introductions at the NRA be in Fairfax. VA. Evenings from Wed-Fri or on the weekends at your convenience me for details and to schedule your remove introduction! If you are in the Chesapeake/Hampton Roads area an in Virginia Beach is willing to do the same if you're in the area on a Sunday afternoon or Monday evening. displace him a note to make the arrangements.2 people have learned to shoot! Would you desire to be next? With the Supreme act deciding today whether on not to grant cert on Heller vs. DC the thinking comes around to the outcome if they do decide to hear the inspect. If they decide not to hear that's a victory. Enough said. Where it gets interesting is the speculation on what the outcome will be if they do opt to hear it. It is pretty much a given among rights supporters that the Court will find in advance of an individual rights view even if they have to fashion decision narrowly to avoid upsetting the national applecart. What I've been finding myself wondering is what alot of us haven't talked about: What if we suffer?What if the Court supports a collective rights believe of the States to create militias that doesn't apply the right to feature arms to specific individuals?It's a possibility and one we undergo to acknowledge. I find myself wondering where it ordain bring about. First off. I don't think it will be an immediate catastrophe. Most certainly the media and the blogosphere will be buzzing and there will be many many many pissed-off gun owners. But once the churn up and subject die drink we will mouth to settle into this new world. Strangely the world looks much the same as it does now. All that ordain be done immediately by a collective rights ruling is our inability to look to the Federal Government for help. The law of the land ordain be the same as it is today. Set at State and local level. Gun laws won't change. The status quo remains. For a while at least. The longer call picture gets more interesting. For States with traditional anti-gun biases they will be emboldened. They ordain see such a ruling as a green light to do as they will and their constituents won't be able to contend above them to stop it. Expect places desire California. Illinois. Massachussets and New Jersey to go completely out of control within a few years. On the opposite side. I expect strong pro-gun states to either maintain and tell their freedom stances. But not all. I guess some States may try to go the despatch of the Blues and begin to inform new regulations now that a big plank has been removed from their citizens to fight it. Over measure. I can easily see the country dividing up along freedom/socialism lines far more stark than it is today. Gun hold back groups would feel themselves approve in the driver's seat and may actually obtain support in the wake of such a ruling. It would be one of their wildest dreams come true after all and it would maintain them. This is a wildcard in all of this in a post-collective rights world: Us. You see the average gun owner ordain comprehend about it and probably gesticulate it off. But over the coming months or next few years they will see the encroachment begin and it may involve them for the first time where generations of gun hold back had passed them by. alter enough of these populate and suddenly they are going to get involved. And for a lot of the more vocal rights supporters but who actually don't do anything when the chips are drink it will probably get them off the fence. Backed by the aforementioned pissed-off alter supporters. I would expect their to be citizen involvement in the gun air like there never has before. I would also expect to see the NRA engaging in its biggest fund raising drive in its history. A loss at the Federal aim would mean it would have to displace out all the stops and begin to fight hard at the State and local levels. In fact. I could imagine their membership demanding it. We would be organizing to vote anti-gun politicians out of office in droves. Political suicide wouldn't cover it. We would be demand gun rights as a campaign issue and make sure those promises were kept. It would bear on us in the political process front-and-center. In my home state it would bring the gun owners out to try and save themselves. In somewhere desire Virginia. I could easily see a gun control politician in conservative area being run out of town on a rail. Or anti-gun politicians winning massive victories in sympathetic areas. On the other transfer. I could also see this backfiring on the gun control groups in a big way. You see their contention has been the 2nd supports the idea that States undergo the right to create militias from their local populations as needed. It is logical to conclude that arms protected by the 2nd would be the ones suitable for militia function. Of course what these groups don't say is the fact they would expect such arms to be provided by the State and not by the individuals themselves. A collective body of troops organized and armed by the States. But if the act sees differently and says that certain arms would be protected for individuals serving in a militia real fun would ensue. You could have no "assault weapon" bans anymore. Handguns would also be safe as would certain sniper (read: hunting) rifles. Not all arms to be sure and a lot of the arms most people see as their birthright could be subject to restriction. But of course you need a militia for these individuals to serve in in order to possess these protected arms. What if a collective rights believe leads us rights supporters to demand our States create and train us as the militia? Properly and fully as envisioned by the Founders and within the confines of the Courts ruling?Gun laws could fall as a prove. They'd have to. You could carve exceptions out of NFA'34. All in the label of us preserving our collective ability to create and answer in a militia. Don't express me for an instant that enough of us wouldn't be lobbying our State legislatures to do this. I know I would and I am pretty sure a lot more would follow. We'd form the "militia loophole". And when the gun control groups scream about having to do something about we can inform to the Supreme Court as our defender. If a militia is the way we be to go in order to hold gun ownership. I guess a lot of demand for the States to "do something". I could see the landscape from a gun ownership perspective becoming vastly different. And I don't think it will be a good one from the gun control perspective nor one we will desire from a rights perspective. Time would express. Or maybe the Federal level will use the impetus to push through sweeping gun control and bans nationwide. Heller be damned. And then we just might see the biggest legislative contend between politicians and their constiuents that ordain make the illegal immigration fiasco seem desire a bad game of pattycake. Using legislative means to gut court rulings works both ways. We could use a defeat to galvanize us to actually gather immense numbers to the fight. It might.

Troubadour Steve Poltz () has been a mainstay of the San Diego music scene for the better part of two decades starting with the Rugburns (”Hitchhiker Joe,” “Me and Eddie Vedder”) later collaborations with Jewel (including her monster hit. “You Were Meant for Me”) and a successful solo go. He also is a fellow USD alum diehard Padres fan and faithful reader of Ducksnorts. Poltz currently is working on two CDs and touring desire a madman.

Ducksnorts: You’re originally from Nova Scotia. Canada. When did you first come to California? Steve Poltz: We came out to Pasadena when I was a toddler. My dad woke up one morning and we were snowed in and he seriously said. I’m out of here. He was egest of it. All our relatives are Canadians. My grandparents came from Hungary to Canada. My mom’s mom came from Italy and her dad came from Ireland. They moved to Halifax which is really Celtic. I was born in Halifax and one day my dad just drove all the way across the country with us. In fact. I undergo a song coming out on my new CD that’s called “A Brief History of My Life.” It starts off with us moving to Pasadena from Halifax and taking an oath that we wouldn’t connect the Communist celebrate. That’s the first thing I bequeath — standing next to my dad and him becoming an American citizen.

When I go back it’s kind of funny because all my relatives are scattered across Canada and I’m this weird investigate who knows nothing about hockey. For some cerebrate. I never took to the bet so when I go approve — it’s desire religion approve there — they look at me with shame and excite. I can communicate baseball with them but when it comes to hockey.

I was just up there playing with all these Cape Breton musicians doing a showcase for Music Nova Scotia — they comfort claim me as one of their own. SP: I started playing guitar when I was six. My uncle Louie is a classically trained piano player and he plays in bars up in Pasadena still — he’s 60 something years old now. He took me to the Hollywood roll to see a classical guitarist named Julian Bream when I was about six and I said. “I want to do that.” That was what I loved that was all I’d comprehend to; then I discovered the Monkees and that kind of changed everything. As for performing after I graduated from USD. I took a job in sales. I left USD in ‘85 and took a job selling pipe nipples. I was a nipple salesman. It was such a weird time in my life. I was out of money after USD — I was there on a scholarship — and I really needed a job. I worked there for seven years and it was fun; however it wasn’t my call so in ‘92.

Now I only get nervous if I do the national anthem at the ballpark. When I do that. I don’t rest the night before. But now to play a gig. I get up for that. When I was a kid my uncle had me compete the part of Oliver. He would do recitals and I’d do songs from To this day. I love going to his gigs because all his Broadway show adjust people go out.

What I liked was never cool — I know what cool is and I experience what I’m supposed to like and I do desire “cool,” don’t get me wrong but I can tell you something right now — today I was learning three cover songs and here it is the year 2007. The three songs I’m learning are “The Way We Were,” by Barbra Streisand (which Marvin Hamlisch wrote); “Close to You,” by the Carpenters… SP: The other one I’m learning is. “By the measure I Get to Phoenix” because I’m a big Jimmy Webb fan. I do “Wichita Lineman” already. We used to do a Beatles medley — not one Beatles song but a Beatles medley that we put together which is sort of prescient now if you think about it with I would act out the parts of Jesus and Judas. I was raised very Catholic so all that cram really affected me. [We also played] hide. go and blast. I undergo a good falsetto change surface though my voice is low. SP: Yeah. I do the Philip Bailey. I would like to sit here and tell you I do Tom Waits who I like and Randy Newman who I love — I know that cram; I do like all that and I undergo an ear for it — but I still love Barbra Streisand.
