I went to the music store and the Orange was already put away and locked up. The owner was kind enough to tell me to come back later and he'd have it out for me to ogle over....man, I was drooling. I touched it thinking how many times Jimmy did...there's even a cig burn in it, LOL!

Oh YEAH! I remember that stuff, it was great! Anyone know what Yukons talking about? Have a recipe???? PS. What made me happy today. Hearing Charles is home and completing 2 peices of jewelry I've been working on.

Tough call but Borel has repeatedly said that Rachel Alexandra is the best horse he's ever ridden. Ya gotta go with that!

Doc, your home is lovely! Wow, so funny, for whatever reason, I pictured you as male, LOL! My apologies and happy Mothers Day!

Managing to tell someone at work to get fucked in the politest and non confrontational manner, love when I can pull that off! Now....I'm mixing a margarita..it's been that kinda week. 11 hour days and back to back to back to back meetings make for a VERY cranky Medhb.

Good for you Yukon!! Hm, 'I had xxx but xxx'...sounds like I'm talking to my dad, or my father in law, or my husband, LOL! I always say "Same story, just change the numbers" Yes, at least you DO stand a better shot than the lottery. I have a friend who is a brilliant developer, he swore he was going to write an application to calculate all the variables and choose the winner. We had a lot of fun as he worked away at it. Everyday he'd discover some new variable that you just can't account for. I just laughed at him because I knew he'd eventually figure out that it can't be 'figured out'.

I'm happy for the guy. It's hard competing against the billionairs. This is a trainer that actually TRAINS his horse, good for him! Reading some of the comments on the Youtube vids confirms that most people enjoyed seeing the underdog win. I missed the post race interview but don't see the arrogance name is Bennie Woolley Hm. I missed the entire embarrassment factor

Oh I so have to disagree! I had the most fun in ages watching the derby!! Having been in the same underdog position I am delighted for both the jockey and the trainer. The jockeys excitement was contaigous! Good for him!! He won the Oaks the day before and didn't he win the Derby last year? Pretty good for the old fart. And...I'll bet a million that his blood is clean. Shit track, all mud, a long shot will come in 9 times out of 10. Many horses can't handle the mud and others shine. Obviously Mine that Bird likes the mud. Plus, I was happy to see a good ole boy win instead of a Sheik. Sorry if that seems prejudiced but the good ole boy probably works a hell of a lot harder at it than the Sheiks. LOL! Yukon, sounds like you know a lot about racing. I can't say what they're pulling with the thouroughbreds but 'milkshaking' is one of the most natural 'remedies' in the world and should never have been banned. Just plain ass stupid. It's really harder on the animal as an athelete to compete without something so natural that could help him/her perform to their best ability without suffering the results of the fast release of the lactic acids from their muscles. Some atheletes bodies don't deal with it as well as others. OK, rah rah for the underdog!!

That's what we had. It sucked. I just want a nice normal spring day please! Just one???!

Awesome! Maybe we'll get some ideas. Please share anything you can dig up. Maybe someone can get a clearer shot of the symbol for us! That would help tremendously

Well said as always Patrycja! Thanks for clarifying my point for me in case it was misunderstood.

Of course! No problems. It looks like it shall remain a mystery until someone gets a better view. Now I'm looking at it in different adjustments in PS and it appears it could be triskelion....

I'm not disagreeing with you but aren't you assuming it is a Hindu symbol? That was never insinuated unless I missed it a few pages back.

Aha!! It looks Celyan! To me

I'm not insisting it is a swastika, however I'm not going to insist that it isn't. Or one of the other similar symbols such as the solar cross as someone else mentioned. We can't say anything for sure without seeing a much better picture of the symbol. Too many shadows and you can tell it is a rather rough hewn peice of metal...the surface of the metal itself could be casting shadows that were magnified when I tweaked the pic in photoshop. What is distinct is the definate sharp angles...does anyone know of a similar symbol with such angles?

Why do I have a feeling this is at the Riot House pool?? Look at the chairs....hmmmmm.

I wish I could. It's the first time I've seen it. I'm assuming it is a new piece but my assumption means nothing. Almost certainly custom made and a nice size stone. Since it's black and white it's difficult to determine what the stone is. That would be more telling....if we knew what stone he is wearing.

Oh cool! Anyone good with photoshop?? Or any other program? Where's CSI when you need them. I always love all those computer programs they have.

Interesting! I had no idea that many people felt that way about hte Teutonic cross also. I imagine Jimmy wore these symbols realizing their real meaning and not careing what others thought. And perhaps hoping to a degree that people might be enlightened by looking further into the meanings. Steve...so sorry to highjack the thread...if anyone is interested we could start a thread on symbolism. It looks like there are several people here that could add a lot to it....could be a great topic!

No interuption! Hmmmm, I'm not seeing what you are trying to point out but fascintating link if a little over my head as far as language skill, LOL! What we need is someone better than me with photoshop or some other program that can capture a clearer image of the pendant. I had to change some of the levels to bring it out and it does appear that it could be one of the other versions of the symbol. I'm quite certain it is, look at it from a few angles.... Of course I'm blind as a bat so...but yes, I'm finding this fascinating too! When I blew the shot up I could clearly see he had two rings on his right ring finger. One was thin with a single gem in the middle and the other was a wide band. This is the only shot I've ever seen from this occasion though, wish there were more. Steve, where and when was that again? TIA

Steve, you've posted this pic before but one really can't see the symbol. When I asked if it was an equal armed cross you said again, no a German cross. Out of curiosity, as this was brought up again, I blew this shot up can now see he is wearing two crosses. You probably were refering to the black one but I didn't notice it next to the shiny one, LOL! One is an equal armed cross, of which the design appears to be of the Knights Templar (though some people refer to that as a German cross, there are many other varients as I'm sure you know) AND the other appears, at least to me, to be a Swastika (also, sadly, known as a German cross). So if people were upset (for reasons that were unjust) it was probably over the silver pendant, not the black one. On that note...I find it really cool that Jimmy is wearing his talismans again. I, personally, see this as 'good things to come'. Jimmy's revving up the power ; )

Hi Ally! Long time, great to see ya here. Did I miss anything good? I see someone was listening to U2. I wonder if anyone's planning on seeing or has seen this 360 tour. I'm debating trying to get tix. Anyone?

A thunderstorm!! Most awesome!!
