Dark Horse $11.99 At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, California governor Robert Long got robbed. It's a tight race between Long and Senator Salmon Stanley for the Democratic nomination for president. When Stanley triumphs, Long's delegates walk out, the media has a field day, and Long and his team -- including ace political strategist Jay Noble -- pack their bags and go home, knowing that whether Stanley fought fair or not, it's the end of the line. Unless...Would Long consider running as an independent? Independent campaigns of the past, such as those of Ross Perot and Ralph Nader, have been more gesture than genuine threat -- but how might the Internet and modern communications technology change that? And are the American people so disgusted at the partisanship and gridlock of the two-party system -- in particular, is the right wing so fed up with the Republican Party -- that they would vote for an independent? Would Long even be able to get on the ballot in all fifty states? A lively cast of characters struggles with issues of their own: • Michael Kaplan, Senator Stanley's consigliere and alter ego, is a shrewd and ruthless campaigner -- but this time, has he gone too far? Can he avoid being indicted as scandal consumes the campaign? • Harrison Flaherty is the incumbent vice president and the Republican nominee for president. He is confident of victory, but there remain major obstacles to his inauguration -- some that he is aware of, some that he cannot foresee...and some that can kill. • Dr. A ndrew S tanton is a mega-church pastor and religious broadcaster whose millions of listeners (and their financial support) give him great influence in Washington. Vice President Flaherty wants and expects Stanton's support...but will Flaherty get it? • Rassem el Zafarshan is in the United States with a band of terrorists, unlimited financing, and only one goal: to create an act of terrorism so horrific that it will make Americans forget about September 11, 2001 -- and bring about war between the United States and Iran. And in this election year, he knows just how to do it. • Claire L ong, the wife of the governor, wants revenge against her husband's enemies, so she supports his presidential candidacy without question. But she has just one slight problem... • Jay Noble has met a beautiful young woman who loves him, and he gets a second shot at winning a presidential campaign, one more chance to go out on top. But as the campaign grinds on, he has to wonder: Did he pick the right horse? And is the woman just too good to be true? Author Ralph Reed's many years of political involvement at the highest levels have prepared him to identify and portray in fiction some of the most glaring problems in our current political system -- and to tell that story with characters so true to life that they could well be subjects of a news story. |

Riding High $12.71 RIDING HIGH is Frank Capra's remake of his own 1934 film BROADWAY BILL, in which romance and comedy play out against the backdrop of thoroughbred horse racing. Real-life racing enthusiast Bing Crosby takes over Warner Baxter's starring role from the earlier film (Baxter was admittedly skittish about horses) and lends greater emotional resonance--as well as a few musical sequences--to the lighthearted story of a wealthy businessman who abandons his privileged lifestyle in favor of racing horses. While Coleen Gray replaces Myrna Loy as co-star, most of the original cast members reprise their supporting roles--including Clarence Muse, Raymond Walburn, Margaret Hamilton, and Douglass Dumbrille--and Oliver Hardy appears without Stan Laurel in a memorable cameo. |

The Horse God Built $9.99 He was the perfect horse, it was said, "the horse God built." Most of us know the legend of Secretariat, the tall, handsome chestnut racehorse whose string of honors runs long and rich: the only two-year-old ever to win Horse of the Year, in 1972; winner in 1973 of the Triple Crown, his times in all three races still unsurpassed; featured on the cover of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated; the only horse listed on ESPN's top fifty athletes of the twentieth century (ahead of Mickey Mantle). His final race at Toronto's Woodbine Racetrack is a touchstone memory for horse lovers everywhere. Yet while Secretariat will be remembered forever, one man, Eddie "Shorty" Sweat, who was pivotal to the great horse's success, has been all but forgotten---until now. In The Horse God Built, bestselling equestrian writer Lawrence Scanlan has written a tribute to an exceptional man that is also a backroads journey to a corner of the racing world rarely visited. As a young black man growing up in South Carolina, Eddie Sweat struggled at several occupations before settling on the job he was born for---groom to North America's finest racehorses. As Secretariat's groom, loyal friend, and protector, Eddie understood the horse far better than anyone else. A wildly generous man who could read a horse with his eyes, he shared in little of the financial success or glamour of Secretariat's wins on the track, but won the heart of Big Red with his soft words and relentless devotion. In Scanlan's rich narrative, we get a groom's-eye view of the racing world and the vantage of a man who spent every possible moment with the horse he loved, yet who often basked in the horse's glory from the sidelines. More than anything else, The Horse God Built is a moving portrait of the powerful bond between human and horse. |

Riding the High Horse $11.18 The Deviltones are back with their long-awaited 2010 album, Riding the High Horse. This Richmond, VA band makes no apologies for not following the latest trends of a socially acceptable, politically correct, vegetarian Rock band. They eat meat and lots of it, washed down with a cold PBR. Rock 'n' Roll, tattoos and porn are their only interests in the art world, and `dressing up' to these hellbillys means black leather and dirty work boots. The Deviltones have toured with Alabama Thunderpussy, Antiseen, and Reverend Horton Heat. Produced by Dano Deckelman and featuring artwork by world famous artist Arik Roper. And featuring "Demon Boy" Don Cilurso formerly of Texas Terri & The Stiff Ones on top-notch guitar. The Deviltones aren't out to save the world, and there are no deep-seeded messages in their music. |

Horse Dressage and the People and Things that Help Make it Occur
If you must know, mount dressage is one game that you will need to put in a lot of time and effort into. After all, it's going to only be the rider and the pony out there competing for the win. BUt unlike in another activities where you can easily stash the tools in some corner or some closet when they are not in use, the same thing cannot be said and done for horses and they need attention from their dressage trainers.
In all seriousness, horses which are being prepared and groomed for a contest have to ba taken cared of very well ang groomed so that the mount is in tip top shape when time comes for a contest. Imagine their glossy coats shining in the sun and their silky manes and tails moving while using breeze? This is all made possible by a dressage trainer. You really don't want a sick looking mount to be the one you use during a battle right? Also, these trainers are the ones that train the horses to answer verbal gestures so that they may perform well in competitions. It would really be a very bad idea to consider a mount that has not undergone training to a dressage competution since you will just be setting yourself up for failure.
If you happen to be interested in dressage, then you'll have to take some time to look into getting a trainer and also look into the dressage tests and what will be expected of you so that you are better prepared and you will not make a mess of things. The horsehowever is not the only that that must get training and workouts; you tool will have to put in some hours in the saddle with that horse. IT seems like an easy enough thing to get on a dressage saddle and buy a horse or lease one but you seriously want to be prepared to fun your dressage need since you will be needing abunch of stuff like dressage trainers, dressage saddles and all of the other things which are essential to dressage. This is just like any other hobby that you will have to invest plenty of time and money in.

What Does Cold-Blooded Horses Mean?
The differences in the characteristics of horses can be determined by the classification of a breed. There are three classifications: cold blood, hot blood, and warm blood.
Here we are discussing the cold blood classification. Cold blood horses are well-muscled draft horses. The breeds were developed for strength and also temperament. After horse breaking your cold blood horse is ready to pull heavy loads (like a carriage full of people or goods) or pull plows.
Cold blooded horses are big. Their statue overpowers men standing right next to them. Even at such a menacing size they are noted for having a calm, patient, and steady demeanor. Sometimes cold-blooded horses are called gentle giants. This is a good thing since children are drawn to them. Be advised to always supervise your children around any animal.
There are well more than a dozen well-known draft breed horses, and even more that have been developed to adapt to local conditions around the world. For example, draft horses have been developed to be lighter and more energetic to pull carriages or to plow large fields in drier climates, while others have been developed to be more muscular and even more powerful so as to plow heavy clay-based soil fields.
One of the cold-blooded horses that you are likely the most familiar with is the Clydesdale. You've seen the Budweiser Clydesdales pulling that sleigh through a beautiful countryside many times on holiday commercials for Anheuser-Busch. I always loved these commercials. They brought imagination and whimsical fancy around the Clydesdales.
You've probably seen Belgian horses, as well. These giants can grow to be between 6 and 7 feet tall at the withers and weigh about a ton. You might know of Radar. He's a gelding that stands 6 feet 7 inches tall at the withers and weighs over 2,400 pounds. Radar is used by Priefert Ranch Equipment for promotions.
The commercial will show Radar pulling the latest farm blades as proud as he could be. His steady gate eases down the country road headed off to a hard days work.
Every little boy or girls dreams of riding atop one of these magnificent horses. Bigger boys and girls want to learn how to train a horse. Once you have seen the size and strength of a cold-blooded horse you will never forget it. You will be compelled to wonder at them.

The Third Leg of the Triple Crown can be a Great Memorable Race or One That is Quickly Forgotten
I think what makes a great Belmont are the same scenarios that make any big race great, and they are mainly:
The horse wins by a large margin, showing his dominance, and inspiring awe among the crowd, such as when Secretariat dominated by 31 lengths in 1973, or when Point Given won by over 12 lengths in the 2001 Belmont and taking his place at the top of the three year old ranks.
The finish is a battle down the stretch in which one prevails by a very narrow margin. Affirmed and Alydar battled in 1978 with a Triple Crown for Affirmed on the line, they battled head to head for a full quarter of a mile, and for 25 seconds it was not clear who was going to win. It was a continual see saw back and forth, and it was the suspense of the moment that made the race.
The "battle of the sexes" element is always intriguing in any big race, and we were also treated to such a duel with Rags to Riches and Curlin in 2007. That was a great race, because not only for it's "girl power" vs. the boys element, but was it a head to head hard fought battle between two great horses. Also a filly had not won the Belmont in over 100 years.
Secretariat's 1973 Belmont win was great not only because we saw a deserving Triple Crown winner but because he not only fulfilled, but exceeded expectations. Most thought he would win, but little did they imagine that they would witness the single greatest performance by a thoroughbred in the 20th century.
When a Triple Crown is on the line and a horse comes and threatens that hope, there is always that combination of drama and also a letdown. It is especially dramatic when it is not clear if the Triple Crown hopeful is going to get there or not. In 1998, Victory Gallop came from out of the clouds to nail what seemed to be a certain Triple Crown win for Real Quiet. The latter had a 3 length lead in mid stretch but Victory Gallop kept charging and it was unclear whether he would get there in time. Unfortunately for those who felt Real Quiet was worthy, Victory Gallop spoiled those hopes. Touch Gold did the same to Silver Charm the previous year in 1997, nailing Silver Charm in the last few strides.
Certainly it would have been more exciting it Charismatic and Real Quiet had been the ones to nail the leader to go on to win the crown, but it is always exciting when a horse comes from behind and runs down the leader. Besides, not everyone believed Real Quiet and even the talented Silver Charm belonged in quite the same breath as Affirmed, Seattle Slew, and Citation.
Rivalries always make for good races, such as Sunday Silence and Easy Goer, the afore-mentioned Affirmed and Alydar, and even Secretariat and Sham. Unfortunately, horses often don't race often enough to form that compelling rivalry. Free House and Silver Charm had that rivalry going, having faced each other three or four times prior to their Belmont meeting, each time finishing very close to each other. I suppose you could say Animal Kingdom and Shackleford have a rivalry going, but it's a pretty weak one if you ask me. If Shackleford had finished runner up in the Derby, then we might have something going, but he got fourth in that race.
The least exciting races are when some unknown long shot comes out of nowhere and takes the race, causing everyone to look down at their program and ask, "Who was that?" When 70-1 Sarava came out of nowhere to take the lead at the head of the stretch in 2002, it was kind of hard to root for him because he was so overlooked. It was kind of like when Mine That Bird won the 2009 Kentucky Derby, many were not even aware that the horse was in the race.
In 2008, Da Tara was also pretty anticlimactic because for one thing, Big Brown stopped suddenly at the top of the stretch, which took all the excitement out of the race, but Da Tara, like Sarava, was not on anyone's radar, didn't come up in any pre race discussions, and had a lot of people wondering who just won the race.
Even without a rivalry, a Triple Crown on the line or a battle of the sexes, there is still the potential for a great race this Saturday. A great stretch duel can always develop, or we might have a really tight finish at the wire with the outcome not known until just a second before the wire.

Downers Grove Hyundai 2010 Genesis and 2011 Sonata named to Edmund's Best Dark-Horse Car list
Sometimes you have to look below the radar to really find the standouts. Downers Grove Hyundai dealers are proving this as part of a select class of drivers who found out about the awesome cars that are the 2010 Hyundai Genesis and the 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The cars have definitely gotten a lot of attention from the experts, and people with a Chicago Hyundai lease knew it all along – but the rest of the driving market is hearing it directly from the dark horse's mouth. Maybe you didn't know it yet, but the Genesis and Sonata are two of this year's most underrated vehicles on the market. And Downers Grove Hyundai dealers aren't the only ones who think so. It looks like a little website called Edmunds.com has named the two vehicles to its "Top 10 Best Dark-Horse Cars of 2010" list.
The list, which has been praised by people with a Chicago Hyundai lease, puts together this prestigious list to let car shoppers know which cars are due for a big sales year. At a time in the history of the industry when any kind of recognition is key, Hyundai has gotten a big boost from the announcement. And named to this list by Edmunds.com no less – well, let's just say that an endorsement by a publication of that caliber is sure to push increased sales to Downers Grove Hyundai dealers everywhere. Savvy drivers read publications like Edmunds before they head out to buy a new car, and why not? The guys and gals know what they are talking about. For real.
"The all-new Sonata is a smart buy with modern style, top-tier quality and outstanding residual value. Couple that with a four-cylinder engine producing class-leading fuel economy and the power of a larger V6, and the Sonata should definitely be on consumer shopping lists in the mid-size sedan segment," said Scott Margason, director of product planning, Hyundai Motor America. "Additionally, the North American Car of the Year-winning Genesis continues to be an extremely disruptive force in the large sedan and near-luxury segments."
"Happily, some of these picks — like the sterling Hyundai Sonata — are beginning to get the kind of buzz that assures they won't be dark horses for too much longer," said Warren Clarke, Automotive Content Editor at Edmunds.com. "Its predecessor offered solid value, but the new Sonata — redesigned for the 2011 model year — is a true game-changer. Offering great handling, a smooth ride and superb fuel economy, this outstanding four-door has what it takes to dominate the competitive midsize-sedan segment."
Chicago Hyundai lease owners are looking forward to see what these two cars do over the next few months. Regardless, it is great to see Hyundai getting a shove in the right direction. The brand needs to take advantage of the potential momentum it could build from the recovering economy! If there is a time to strike, it is here and now. Sonata fans rejoice because your vehicle looks forward to a bright, happy and sweet future
