  4. Supermarket Surround Sound and Scent! The new supermarket, near our house has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain. When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and witness the scent of fresh hay. When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying. The veggie department features the sound of a gentle breeze and the smell of fresh buttered corn. I don't buy toilet paper there any more!
  5. Barbaro euthanized; 'Grief is the price we all pay' By DAN GELSTON and RICHARD ROSENBLATT, AP Sports Writers January 29, 2007 KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. (AP) -- So many people felt a stake in Barbaro's recovery. They imagined his pain, grimaced each time he faltered, took heart as each day passed and he was still alive, making painfully slow progress. The 2006 Kentucky Derby winner's fight for survival was their fight, a symbol of strength, courage and comfort -- and, more than anything else, a source of inspiration. He was, after all, winner of the world's most famous race, in a sport desperate for a superstar. For months he seemed, remarkably, to take everything that came at him: good and bad. Finally, it was too much. Barbaro was euthanized Monday after complications from his gruesome breakdown at last year's Preakness, ending an eight-month ordeal that made him even more of a hero than he was as a champion on the track. "Certainly, grief is the price we all pay for love," co-owner Gretchen Jackson said. A series of ailments -- including laminitis in the left rear hoof, an abscess in the right rear hoof, as well as new laminitis in both front feet -- proved too much for the gallant colt. Barbaro was given a heavy dose of a tranquilizer and an overdose of an anesthetic and put down at 10:30 a.m. "I really didn't think it was appropriate to continue treatment because the probability of getting better was so poor," said Dr. Dean Richardson, chief of surgery at the New Bolton Center. Richardson, fighting back tears, added: "Barbaro had many, many good days." The bay colt underwent nearly two dozen surgeries and other procedures, including cast changes under anesthesia. He spent time in a sling to ease pressure on his legs, had pins inserted and was fitted at the end with an external brace -- extraordinary measures for injuries that most horses never survive. Weeks of positive reports turned into months. Barbaro was eyeing the mares, nickering, gobbling up his feed and trying to walk out of his stall. But Richardson warned there still could be trouble, and by mid-July, his greatest fear became reality -- laminitis struck Barbaro's left hind leg. On Sunday, a day after Barbaro's fight for survival had reached a critical point, Richardson compared the various injuries to a "house of cards." One part falls, and the rest start to crumble. In this case, it was the laminitis that attacked both front feet that left him vulnerable. "That left him with not a good leg to stand on," Richardson said. The disease affected his personality, too. The eyes that had been so bright and full of life were darker Monday morning. Barbaro clearly was in distress. "You could see he was upset," Richardson said. "That was the difference. It was more than we wanted to put him through." Roy and Gretchen Jackson were with Barbaro on Monday morning and made the decision in consultation with Richardson. "We just reached a point where it was going to be difficult for him to go on without pain," Roy Jackson said. "It was the right decision, it was the right thing to do. We said all along if there was a situation where it would become more difficult for him, then it would be time." With dark red roses on the table at an afternoon press conference, Richardson and the Jacksons were emotional talking about the colt. Many staffers welled up, and by early evening the lobby was overflowing with roses and other assorted flowers sent by grieving fans. The scene seemed to mimic months earlier when Barbaro became America's No. 1 patient after he first suffered his catastrophic injuries. On May 20, Barbaro was rushed to the New Bolton Center, about 30 miles from Philadelphia in Kennett Square, hours after shattering his right hind leg just a few strides into the Preakness Stakes. He underwent a five-hour operation that fused two joints, and Richardson called the colt's chances a "coin toss." The recovery, though, seemed to go well. The bones that had shattered in the Preakness were healed and the only major concern was in Barbaro's left rear leg, where 80 percent of the hoof had been removed in July when he developed laminitis. Then a deep abscess in the right hind hoof began causing discomfort last week, and surgery was required to insert two steel pins in a bone to eliminate all weight bearing on the ailing right rear foot. "This horse was a hero," said David Switzer, executive director of the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association. "His owners went above and beyond the call of duty to save this horse. It's an unfortunate situation, but I think they did the right thing in putting him down." When Barbaro broke down, his right hind leg flared out awkwardly as jockey Edgar Prado jumped off and tried to steady the ailing horse. Race fans at Pimlico wept. Within 24 hours fans across the country seemed to be caught up in a "Barbaro watch." Well-wishers young and old showed up at the New Bolton Center with cards, flowers, gifts, goodies and even religious medals, and thousands of e-mails poured into the hospital's Web site. The biggest gift has been the $1.2 million raised since early June for the Barbaro Fund, money to be put toward needed equipment such as an operating room table and a raft and sling for the same pool recovery Barbaro used after his surgeries. The Jacksons, who own about 70 racehorses, broodmares and yearlings and have been in the business for 30 years, spent tens of thousands of dollars hoping the best horse they ever owned would recover. "Everything was looking really, really good, and, of course, I honestly thought that the horse was going to pull it off," said breeder Bill Sanborn at Springmint Farm near Nicholasville, Ky., where Barbaro was foaled and raised. La Ville Rouge, Barbaro's dam, remains pregnant at Mills Ridge Farm in Lexington with a full brother to Barbaro. The foal is expected in the early spring. A son of Dynaformer, Barbaro started his career on the turf, but trainer Michael Matz knew he would have to try his versatile colt on the dirt. He had to find out early if the horse was good enough for the Triple Crown races. Barbaro was good enough, all right. After winning his first three races on turf with authority, Matz drew up an unconventional plan for a dirt campaign that spaced out Barbaro's races to save him for the entire Triple Crown, three races in five weeks at varying distances over different tracks. In his dirt debut, Barbaro won the Holy Bull Stakes over a sloppy track at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 4. After an unusually long eight-week break, he won the Florida Derby by a half-length over Sharp Humor and it was on to Churchill Downs, though not without criticism that Barbaro couldn't win the Kentucky Derby after a five-week layoff. After all, it had been 50 years since Needles won the Derby off a similar break. Not only did Barbaro win the Derby, he demolished what was supposed to be one of the toughest fields in years. The 6 1/2 -length winning margin was the largest since 1946, when Assault won by eight lengths and went on to sweep the Triple Crown. Barbaro would never get his chance at a Triple. His career, which earned $2,302,200, would end in the Preakness, where that horrible misstep would lead to his only loss in seven starts.

  9. We ARE dealing with it... Trust me on that... We do not take the issues [addressed] here lightly... I too have dealt with both Dealers, Josh on several occasions... If Dealers choose to use Photobuckets, then that's fine... But there can't be integrity issues on the sites of Dealers that have a Forum here... I would [highly] suspect that this will be a very interesting week in RWG's history... TT
  10. @Kruzer I hear what your saying... But... The questioned Dealers have Status on this Forum, which in and of itself offers our membership some sort of endorsement... Because we ALLOW them to sell here... Remember, one of the things that this site offers is information/protection from being scammed... We currently have 12 Dealers, and a waiting list longer... It is my opinion that it's a privilege to have a Dealer Forum here... So with that said... Would it be Ok for us to allow the site operator of bestswiss.com to have a Dealer Forum here as long as his prices/policies/advertising is in line [on this site]? The fact is this site ends up pointing members to the Dealers site... There HAS to be consistency in the integrity of the offerings here by our Dealers and there sites... No other way around it... justmy2centsforwhatitsworth TT

  20. C. I. A. WARNING!! This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan, Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Omar, in retaliation for the execution of Saddam Hussein, warned the United States that if military action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America's supply of convenience store managers. And if this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell and AOL customer service reps and Motel 6 managers. It's gettin' ugly!!!.
