  • Introduction to Russian Poetry - Michael Wachtel Excerpt More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521004934 - The Cambridge Introduction to Russian Poetry - Michael Wachtel Excerpt More information Introduction Поэ´т – издaлeкa´ зaво´дит рe´чь. Поэ´тa – дaлeко´ зaво´дит рe´чь. цвeтaeвa, «Поэ´ты» The poet brings language from afar. Language brings the poet far. Tsvetaeva, “Poets” When poets read their works aloud, we may not understand every word, but we immediately recognize that their intonation differs from that of everyday speech. This “unnatural” declamation often causes confusion among those who first encounter it. “Why don’t they just read it normally?” one is tempted to ask. The reason is simple: poets want to set their speech off from everyday language. Individual poets vary widely in the degree of “unnaturalness” they introduce to their readings, but in virtually all cases their goal is the same: to destabilize the familiar world of their listeners, to make them hear anew. All of us, poets or not, alter our tone of voice and choice of words in accordance with specific circumstances. We speak differently with our par- ents than with our peers, we address the auto mechanic differently than the policeman, we speak differently when giving a toast than we do when calling for an ambulance. In many life situations, what might be called the prosaic attitude toward language dominates. Our object is to relay information as quickly and unambiguously as possible. At other times, getting the point across is not enough; it is essential to do so convincingly and fervently. We select our words carefully and consciously organize them. In this case, we are not necessarily creating poetry, but it is fair to say that we are moving in the direction of poetry.

  • HOW WE GOT HERE I Imagine If You Are Reading This, We Share Something in Common--The Love of Horses and Horse Racing
    FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 2019 TAKING STOCK: OP/ED: NEVER LET A GOOD CRISIS GO TO WASTE by Boyd Browning HOW WE GOT HERE I imagine if you are reading this, we share something in common--the love of horses and horse racing. Like me, you may even make your living and provide for family by working in this industry. When I get the TDN Alerts at night that another important governing body is calling for an end to racing or to shut down the track, I feel sick to my stomach and can't sleep. And then I get up in the morning and read/listen to the finger pointing and infighting within the industry. The "blame game" must stop immediately and we can either work together to make smart decisions that reflect the world we live in and survive, or we can continue to fight with one another about who's right and who's wrong. We must recognize and embrace meaningful change to protect and care for the horse. Cont. p3 IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Is the future of the American dirt horse at a crossroads? | Coady CUNNINGHAM–A REBEL IN THE RANKS Alayna Cullen chats with Rebel Racing’s Phil Cunningham about new stallion Rajasinghe (GB) (Choisir {Aus}). Click or tap by Sid Fernando here to go straight to TDN Europe. The American dirt horse is tough, strong, and fast. He's an athlete. He's a combination of speed and stamina, bred to race on an unforgivingly hard surface, bred to race at two, bred to break quickly from the gate, bred to run hard early, bred to withstand pressure late.

    June 27 – July 1, 1977 7-C Dr. Reams Biological Theory of Ionization Dr. John Black & Doc. Reams Tape 1 – Side A God never repairs a damaged cell. Never! He throws it out and puts a brand-new one in its place. God is not in the second-hand parts business. You are made out of brand-new parts. You should keep them brand-new. Keep your vim, vigor and vitality for many, many years. And you know most people live no longer than they plan to live. They start early planning to live, plotting their life and their diet and their habits. Life would be different. You know, it’s the easiest thing in the world to be healthy. It’s the easiest thing in the world to be healthy. To be sick you got to work at it. You’ve got to break all the rules. You’ve got to get hooked on something, or inhibited by it, or tied to it. Variety is the spice of life. In a great variety there is safety. So what I am trying to tell you, this is what the Bible message is about. It is, heal the sick. Heal the sick. God wants you to heal the sick. And some people think, oh that’s just to be done instantaneously. Never, never, with diet or anything else. Do you know that the health message starts in the very first chapter of Genesis? The 28th verse. The very first chapter of Genesis in the 28th verse. We are going to have a lot more to say about that as the week goes on.

  • PHYSICAL HANDICAPPING Steve Thygersen December 14, 2011
    PHYSICAL HANDICAPPING Steve Thygersen December 14, 2011 OVERALL APPEARANCE The ideal horse is well proportioned, alert without being fixated, has a beautiful shiny coat with dappling and there is a spring in their step and their head is high and neck bowed. It doesn’t hurt when they are playful as well – giving the groom a face full of nose or nipping at their pony and then jumping back. Horses like to play, and young horses really like to play. If you are playful, you aren’t scared of the upcoming race, in fact you are ready to roll. I see trainers all the time try to get them to stop being playful and I always think “shouldn’t this be fun for them?”. One of the most playful horses I ever saw was Majestic Prince back in the late 60s – he seemed to take great pleasure in getting Johnny Longden to bust a gasket. The second you turned your back on him he would slyly start sneaking away. He almost got away on the day of the Santa Anita Derby but Longden turned to him and bellowed “Don’t even think about it!” He stopped dead in his tracks and waited for them to come get him. He also liked to grab Longden by the back of the pants and lift his head up. The only horse I know that delighted in giving Melvins. The point is a playful horse is a happy horse and happy horses run. COAT, MANE AND TAIL The eyes may be the windows to the soul, but the coat is the mirror of their physical condition.

The vast majority of runners by Nayef have been middle-distance horses and stayers, so Tamayuz (who is out of a Nureyev mare), arguably the top French 3-year-old miler of 2008, has proved an exception. He=s also proved a pretty useful sire at Shadwell=s Irish arm, Derrinstown, where Tamayuz will be standing for a career-low i8,000 next year (Nayef himself is still at stud at Shadwell in England, for ,5,000). His granddam, the Riverman mare Allez Les Trois, was a half-sister to none other than Urban Sea, dam of Galileo and Sea The Stars, so he hails from a pretty distinguished female line.
