  Well- I've watched CC in all three races. I am a visual player. I do go through the PPerform. but I need to observe the horse before the race in the PP. CC did notlook good at all. Millie Ball and others say he looked "quiet". The fact is he lost condition after KD.-progressively. Did Sherman overtrainhim? Definitely Espinoza's riding was suspect. He wasn't riding to win. CC wanted a free stride which Espinoza denied time and again. Watch the race again. Everytime CC wnted to get out and going VE kept him bottled up. This morning Millie Ball said the exact same thing.

  Love to see a matchup of the top five -same distance -again.

  Ten weeks or so from now.

  i strive to understand things by standing in a different spot and looking again.

  i like to recontextualize things everybody seems to accept automatically and comfortably.. why?

  to be able to see it for the first time, again.. .

  there is an implicit pact between the magician and the audience.. .

  i should now like to discuss this pact and use the bond between performer and audience as the premise of something else i will reveal at the end.. .

  shall we continue?.

  A Mormon becomes a JW in the Feb 2013 Watchtower...

  by cedars in

  glancing through the feb 2013 "public" watchtower edition, an interesting article appears on page 8.. here is the pdf download link.... http://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=pdf&issue=20130201&output=html&pub=wp&langwritten=e&option=trgchlzrqvnyvrxf&txtcmslang=e.

  it's interesting how, in the story, the young man's jw aunt and uncle switch him from mormonism to the jw faith using third-party material (the nov 8, 1995 awake!

  article), and he ends up becoming a jw after confirming on the official mormon website that the claims in the awake!

  The current thrust of the WTBS is foreign- language congregational set-up in the US. In countries where the first lang. isn't Eng. there is a concerted move to preach in the vernacular. English speakers are unceremoniously being thrown into native lang. congregations. Eng. speaking congregations are being disbanded. The printing dept. is being decentralizedand set up in many parts of a country dpending on which region speaks which lang- Africa, China,India and the far East and a few island nations. It appears the "growth" in their numbers is mainly coming from these areas of the globe. Does this involve investment opportunities too?

  Strange , I got a call from an elder in the company of his CO a few days ago at work. Wanted to know if I was around to have coffee. Never has invited me for coffee in the years I have known him.Told him I was at the office. Said that since there were meetings on Wed and Sun he hoped to see me there. I responded with a noncomittal grunt. Didn't mention the CO was with him though. His voice sounded kinda highpitched as if he knew I knew what he was about, but just had to do his job. Funny how these geezers can't keep an even voice when trying their "Cloak and Stagger"stuff.

  Elders attempted to catch me out

  hey all,.

  i had two elders just "drop in" yesterday...walked around the back of my house and all....rude....i happened to be home, and opened the door.... one is doing spring cleaning at his house, and so in general chit chat, they spoke of how we all dont need to keep the bound volumes or older mags anymore, as everything we need is on the website or cd rom.... i just casually said, "yes, but its nice to have the originals so we can see the original wording and info".

  one of them snapped his neck spinning so quick, frothed at the mouth and said "what do you mean changes?...nothing changes!!".
