Weapons Against the Ruy Lopez
Former US Open Champion Timothy Taylor presents weapons for Black against the hugely popular Spanish Opening, with a repertoire based on the Modern Steinitz Defence. This has justifiably earned a reputation as an important alternative to the main lines, and it's easy to see its appeal. The Modern Steinitz can lead to razor-sharp positions, such as in the Siesta Variation, where one slip by either player could prove to be fatal. But a major attraction of the Modern Steinitz is its flexibility, and Black can also choose to play in a more positional manner.

The Most Famous Chess Player Explained
Bobby Fischer's lone fight against the Soviet chess powerhouse made him a global hero, also for people who did not play chess at all. The Russians trembled before him, the Americans and the rest of the world cheered him on. Fischer's chess prowess and his will to win were unparalleled. But so were his eccentric behaviour and his paranoia. After he won the world title, Bobby Fischer vanished and the former prodigy became a mystery. The memories of his successwere clouded by his anti-American and anti-Semite rants.

Mistakes are often made in the early part of the game - at all levels of chess - but a key skill is to recognize these critical moments as they happen and to exploit them with maximum efficiency. This is a skill which Grandmaster Simon Williams addresses in this book. Using instructive and entertaining games in which one side wins quickly, he examines all the typical mistakes chess players make in the opening and early middlegame, how you should look to exploit them, and how to avoid falling into similar traps yourself.

Attacking the Kings on Opposite Sides
Both players are gunning for each other's kings. Whose attack will break through first? This is a typical scenario in chess games. In such tense battles where one slip can be fatal, often it's a case of 'who dares wins'. But it's not enough to throw your pieces up the board and hope for the best. To succeed you need to acquire sophisticated attacking and defensive skills. The good news is that they can easily be learned, remembered and put into practice.

They're Back! Trumpeter Swans on the Huron River
Twice a year, in early winter, and again in early spring, I see significant numbers of trumpeter swans on this stretch of the river. I enticed several pairs to come closer by feeding shelled corn. Three pairs came to feed, while others remained far out in the river, or near the far shore.

See full resolution versions of these two shots, along with several other images for the swans taken on the same occasion, in my swans gallery, here: http://arctangent.smugmug.com/Birds/Birds-Waterfowl1-Swans/5655185_xzcB2w

Title: They're Back! Trumpeter Swans on the Huron River
Note added: The right hand picture is not a crop. It's the full frame as it came from the camera. With the swans in constant motion, coming closer and moving farther away, I couldn't always re-zoom and re-focus both for my shots. The zoom on the camera I was using (a point and shoot) is not exactly fine touch, so in camera composition on the fly with a moving subject is an adventure.

The Cricket Derbyshire Book Shop is urging Members to spend just £5 each during the course of the season to help continue the shop's excellent support for the Club's youth and academy development.
The shop enjoyed an outstanding opening week raising almost £400 during the recent home fixture against Nottinghamshire, with all proceeds donated towards helping the production line of developing young cricketers in Derbyshire.
The Shop, which is kindly operated by a team of dedicated volunteers, is now appealing to Members to spend a small amount each throughout the season to help raise enough funds to accommodate a summer contract for an upcoming young professional hoping to make their way into the senior side.
The same type of contract retained the likes of current first team squad members Paul Borrington, Peter Burgoyne, Jonathan Clare, Alex Hughes, Chesney Hughes, Tom Knight, Tom Poynton, Dan Redfern and Ross Whiteley during their formative years with the Club.
This weekend's three-day friendly with New Zealand will be played as a first-class fixture, as Derbyshire aim to claim an international scalp at the County Ground.
The New Zealand squad travel to Derby on Saturday, 4th May as they begin their preparations for their two-Test series against England, which begins later this month.
It will be the second first-class game at the County Ground in as many years after Derbyshire welcomed Australia A to Derby in July 2012 when Tony Palladino completed his maiden first-class century against the old enemy.
Kane Williamson will captain the side in this weekend's encounter, as supporters will also get the opportunity to welcome back Martin Guptill after the powerful opening batsman played an integral part in the county's successful 2012 LV= County Championship campaign.
Jack Brooks' inspired spell of bowling helped Yorkshire claim an innings and 39-run victory at Headingley on Day 4 of their LV= County Championship Division One fixture.
The hosts declared on 677-7 after an hour's play this morning, securing a 202 run lead. Wayne Madsen (52) and Wes Durston (50) both reached half centuries in reply, but five wickets from Brooks and two apiece from Rashid and Plunkett condemned Derbyshire to defeat in Leeds.
Yorkshire resumed Day 4 on 597-5, a lead of 122 runs, and they quickly built on their advantage in the morning session moving onto 613-6 within two overs after the restart.
Derbyshire would fightback, however, making two earlier breakthroughs removing both Gary Ballance (53) and Tim Bresnan (14) to reduce Yorkshire to 643-7. But Adil Rashid (36*) and Liam Plunkett (21*) continued the onslaught before the hosts finally declared on 677-7 after an hour's play, securing a lead of 202 runs.
Derbyshire suffered a difficult day in the field, as a mammoth 231-run partnership between England duo Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow helped but Yorkshire in a strong position on Day 3 at Headingley.
Root became the second man in the match to complete his double century, after Chesney Hughes' record-breaking 270 yesterday, as the England Lions Captain was finally dismissed for a superb 236 from 336 balls.
His partner Bairstow would hit 21 fours and four sixes in his knock of 186, as he shared a 117-run stand with Gary Balance (50*) that moved the hosts over 500 before closing the day on 597-5, a lead of 122 runs.
Chesney Hughes' marathon innings at Headingley earned him one of the highest ever points totals in the FTI Most Valuable Player rankings.
The Anguillan-born 22-year-old just missed out on setting a new Derbyshire batting record with his unbeaten 270, but the 52.32 batting points he accumulated put him into the MVP top ten.
He is now sixth on the all-time innings list, less than eight points behind former Sussex star Murray Goodwin, whose 344* against Somerset in August 2009 remains the benchmark.
Hughes, who is the first Derbyshire player to carry his bat in a first-class match since Chris Rogers against Warwickshire in 2008, fell just four runs short of the 274 George Davidson hit against Lancashire in 1896.
He has 60 MVP points in total so far this season and sits in 12th position in the table, just three points off a top ten spot.
The FTI MVPs, which feature a £10,000 purse for the cricketer who scoops the top prize, are now in their seventh season.
The system analyses the performances of players around the country on a like-for-like basis and awards points for every run scored, wicket taken and catch held.
Bowlers receive higher marks for good economy rates, bowling maidens and for dismissing the top order, whilst batsmen are rewarded for high run rates and the percentage of the team's runs they hit.
There are now more points across all formats for those notching 40 and 50 per cent of a team's total, for top order batsmen, in recognition of their greater challenge against the new ball, and for those who hit big hundreds.

Chesney Hughes carried his bat to complete the second highest first-class score in Derbyshire's 143-year history as he was left unbeaten on 270, as the visitors posted 475 on Day 2 against Yorkshire at Headingley.
The 22-year-old's incredible innings included 40 fours and three sixes, as the left handed batsman batted for just over nine hours facing 415 balls for his career-best score of 270, but he was let stranded just four runs short of Derbyshire's all-time record as the visitors were dismissed for 475.
Yorkshire had 46 overs to face before stumps and on a placid Headingley pitch the hosts closed on 164-1, as Tim Groenewald claimed the visitors' only wicket on a memorable day in Leeds.
Derbyshire Batting Coach Dave Houghton said: "Chesney batted beautifully. Karl [Krikken] showed faith in him and brought him back into the side and this gave him the confidence first of all – and it was a magnificence knock and well deserved.
Chesney Hughes' magnificent unbeaten 171 has helped put Derbyshire in a commanding position after Day 1 of their LV= County Championship fixture with Yorkshire at Headingley Carnegie.
The 22-year-old hit 25 fours and 3 sixes in his career-best innings, as the left-handed batsman shared a tremendous 258-run second-wicket stand with Wayne Madsen moving Derbyshire onto 268-1 after tea.
But the Derbyshire captain fell seven runs short of his century as the visitors lost three quick wickets in the final session, but Hughes and Dan Redfern (14*) guided Karl Krikken's side to 302-4 at the close on a excellent opening day.
Speaking after the close, Madsen said: "Chesney has been magnificent today. He has been very disciplined throughout the day and has had a steady head. He has played some tremendous shots and thoroughly deserves his career-best score.
Karl Krikken's men will have little time to reflect on this week's nine-wicket defeat against a Stuart Broad inspired Nottinghamshire side, as Derbyshire travel to Headingley Carnegie to face Yorkshire tomorrow.
After four highly-competitive days against a Nottinghamshire side that contained no less than eight internationals, Derbyshire will now be looking to secure their first win of the season against Yorkshire, which begins tomorrow (Monday 29th April) at 11am.
Derbyshire have enjoyed the better of their recent visits to Headingley, claiming two draws and a victory in their last three Championship fixtures at the ground.
Yorkshire's squad for the fixture will be bolstered by the inclusion of England trio Joe Root, Tim Bresnan and Jonny Bairstow, all of which played their part in their four-wicket win over Durham this week.
Chesney Hughes (pictured) and Mark Footitt are in contention for recalls as Derbyshire face Yorkshire in the LV= County Championship starting on Monday, 11am.
Head Coach Karl Krikken has selected the duo for his 13 man squad after impressive performances in the recent Second XI victory over a combined Surrey and Hampshire XI.
Hughes top-scored with 63 and 45 in the five wicket win at Belper Meadows while Footitt took 6 for 71 prior to twelfth man fielding for the first team today. Mark Turner is expected to miss out through injury.
Tony Palladino didn't bowl in the second innings versus Nottinghamshire after succumbing to a Stuart Broad toe-cruncher. The Derbyshire paceman is, however, fit to travel to Headingley Carnegie.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

You May Not Believe Who's Upset That Obamacare May Be Repealed
While Barack Obama was trying and failing to sell Obamacare to the American people, he and his allies on the Left incessantly demonized the insurance companies. On the other hand, during the debates, Mitt Romney noted that, "I'd just as soon not have the government telling me what kind of health care I get. I'd rather be able to have an insurance company. If I don't like them, I can get rid of them and find a different insurance company. But people will make their own choice."
Well now that Mitt Romney may very well be elected, guess who's upset?
You'd think health insurance CEOs would be chilling the bubbly with Republican Mitt Romney's improved election prospects, but instead they're in a quandary.
Although the industry hates parts of President Barack Obama's health care law, major outfits such as UnitedHealth Group and BlueCross Blue Shield also stand to rake in billions of dollars from new customers who'll get health insurance under the law. The companies already have invested tens of millions to carry it out.
Were Romney elected, insurers would be in for months of uncertainty as his administration gets used to Washington and tries to make good on his promise repeal Obama's law. Simultaneously, federal and state bureaucrats and the health care industry would face a rush of legal deadlines for putting into place the major pieces of what Republicans deride as "Obamacare."
…Things could get grim for the industry if Republicans succeed in repealing the Affordable Care Act's subsidies and mandates, but leave standing its requirement that insurers cover people with health problems. If that's the outcome, the industry fears people literally could get health insurance on the way to the emergency room, and that would drive up premiums.
…Obama's law is starting to look more and more like a tangible business opportunity. In a little over a year, some 30 million uninsured people will start getting coverage through a mix of subsidized private insurance for middle-class households and expanded Medicaid for low-income people. Many of the new Medicaid recipients would get signed up in commercial managed care companies.
A recent PricewaterhouseCoopers study estimated the new markets would be worth $50 billion to $60 billion in premiums in 2014, and as much as $230 billion annually within seven years.
Under the law, insurance companies would have to accept all applicants, including the sick. But the companies also would have a steady stream of younger, healthier customers required to buy their products, with the aid of new government subsidies. That finally could bring stability to the individual and small-business insurance markets.
In other words, the American people get screwed by Obamacare as businesses drop their coverage left and right while costs explode, but it would be a nice, wet, sloppy kiss for the big corporate insurance agencies that have the money and manpower to survive while the little guys go belly-up. It's also worth noting who would be PAYING for that $230 billion extra that will be going into the pockets of companies like UnitedHealth Group and BlueCross Blue Shield.
Here's a hint: 12 of the 21 new taxes in Obamacare hit the middle class.

February 29, 2012
At least five young football fans died and several others were injured after bomb went off at a football match in Mogadishu on Monday (February 27th).
The explosion took place at the Minishipio Stadium in the Wardhigley district in central Mogadishu during the finals of a local championship, part of an awareness campaign for social cohesion and integration organised by the Municipality of Mogadishu.
No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing, but the Somali Transitional Federal Government (TFG) blamed al-Shabaab for the attack.
"The extremist al-Shabaab group is behind this attack that took place at a football stadium in Mogadishu," the TFG said in a statement.
"It is a sad day for all the Somali people when our children are massacred while just playing football in their own neighbourhood," Acting Minister of Information, Posts and Telecommunication Abdullahi Bile Noor said Tuesday in a statement on behalf of the TFG. "It is even a sadder state of affairs when the depraved people behind it claim to be Muslims."
In the statement, Noor stressed the Somali government's determination to strengthen security in public places, such as stadiums and amusement parks frequented by both children and adults.
"The Somali government is determined to continue its fight against these rebels who have grown accustomed to shedding the blood of our innocent children and citizens," Noor said, adding that the Somali government will spare no effort to protect its people.
"Such incidents will not intimidate the Somali people and the armed forces, supported by the Somali people, will prevail against these cowards and all the militants and extremists will be rooted out," Noor said.
The TFG recently started encouraging administrations of several districts in Mogadishu to organise activities such as sports events to support peace and reinforce social integration in the capital, as well as to show that life in Mogadishu has returned to normal.
Despite improvements in the security situation in the capital, hand-grenade attacks, suicide car-bombings and improvised explosive devices still threaten the city.
Al-Shabaab threatened to intensify attacks in Mogadishu after Somali security forces pushed the militant group out of its strongholds in the capital and other areas of Somalia. Somali police said they have been on high alert to enforce security in the capital and prevent attacks targeting innocent civilians.
Soon after Monday's attack, security forces rushed to the scene to open an investigation into the circumstances of the incident. Eyewitnesses described the scene to Sabahi.
"The explosion took place in the stadium moments before the football match started, which was a final game between two local teams," Abdirasaq Hassan Yemeni, an eyewitness to the explosion, told Sabahi.
"There were no worries of an attack taking place, despite the fact that the police had found an explosive device in the stadium grounds," he said. "Hundreds of football enthusiasts and fans of both teams gathered and spectators took their seats, all waiting for the game to kick off. And then suddenly, a massive explosion happened at the entrance to the stadium, with tens of spectators nearby."
Yemeni said most of those present at the stadium were overcome with fear when the explosion occurred.
Abdirahman Farah, another eyewitness, told Sabahi everyone left the stadium immediately after the explosion.
"I saw the bodies of two boys who died in the explosion and seven others who were injured, among them some of my friends," he said.
"Almost all of the victims were spectators and none of the players were harmed," Farah said.
Mohammed Moalem, an ambulance driver for al-Ameen Foundation for Ambulance Services in Mogadishu told Sabahi that most of the victims of the attack were youths, and that some remain in critical condition.
"The foundation's ambulances transported 15 victims from the scene of the blast to Mogadishu hospitals and three of them died later from severe injuries, while the remaining 12 are being treated at the hospitals," Moalem said.
On Tuesday, the TFG said two more victims succumbed to their injuries overnight, raising the number who died to five.
The area where the blast took place had been the scene of fighting between government forces and al-Shabaab militants, before al-Shabaab withdrew from the capital in August.
Eyewitnesses who spoke with Sabahi said they wondered if a landmine planted in the stadium accidentally went off, causing the blast, or whether the bomb had been deliberately planted and detonated during the match.
Colonel Mohammed Abdi, a local police official who arrived at the stadium after the incident, dispelled the queries. "There is no doubt in our minds that the explosive device was recently planted in the stadium grounds targeting this final match," he told Sabahi.
imagine how ihuman people are, people should stop acting abnormally and do the right thing.its we ourselves who are to bring fights to an end and bring peace.The governments should also be very watchful on the kind of people being allowed to visit a country.
africans killing ourselves.....shows what has been claimed all over the years by whites as a dark continent with uncivilized missions is true........its a sort of fighting nonsense.....if they blame the govt,....they should bomb that target.......
this world must be ending to an abrupt end.these killer minds are just but too inhuman,lord intervene
the article when reading,is painful.I dont know why people decide to behave like animals by killing innocent people in the name of alshabaab, algaeda etc,name them,JESUS come and save us, we are tired of seeing this happen within our midst.
Whatever happens, my dreams for peaceful Somalia will someday come true. Its painful reading this article, but it is good to know people are working hard to see peace return in Somalia.
the whole world should be concerned about what is happening in somali and respond appropriately.
I have read this article with a lot of sadness in my heart. Especially that the Somali administration is trying to help the people to live their lives by participating in social activities that help bring cohesion. I am not a Muslim but I understand that Islam is a religion of peace. Those who carried out this atrocious attack can not claim to be Muslims. Other wise the article has been written very objectively. keep it up.
Christians,Jews,Moslems and all believers who uphold the dignity and sanctity of human life should join hands.All terrorist groups must be exterminated from the midst of civilized society.It borders demonic pleasure for any individual or group to invoke the name of God when killing innocent and helpless people.The God of Abraham,Isack and Jacob is not a coward and needs no mortal humans to fight for Him.

Remember when, during the baby boom, pundits were in a panic about how the food supply was never going to be able to keep up with all the new mouths to feed? We were all going to starve! Paul Ehrlich's Population Bomb lit the flame of that incendiary discussion. Well, that's history.
But we're not supposed to calm down. Now there's a new source of panic. All those women with their empty cradles are going to spell the end of civilization! How are nations supposed to endure when more and more women are choosing to have fewer and fewer children, or none at all? (I discussed some of this previously in "How two white men are coaxing American women to have kids".)
There's even a magic number in this discussion: 2.1. That's how many babies women need to have, on the average, in order to replace both parents and keep the population from shrinking. (The number has to be greater than two because some babies don't live long.)

Pioneering New Surf Frontiers: North Korea
In a history-making moment this past July, 19 surfers departed the USA, Europe, Asia and Australia to bring one of the most freeing experiences known to man – surfing – to the most closed nation on earth: The Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea (a.k.a. North Korea). Each person returned with incredible stories about a country that very few foreigners have experienced.
The main purpose of the trip was to lead two surf camps, showing the North Koreans how to enjoy their coastline with the sport of wave riding. The students were 10 tour guides from the country's official tour group, Korean International Travel Company (KITC). Along with the surf camps, the team spent a total of 10 days within the DPRK touring the capital, Pyongyang, visiting museums and experiencing various exhibitions of North Korean culture.
Julie Nelson, staff member at STN and one of the first women to surf the shores of North Korea, planned and led the surf camps along with co-worker Ryley Snyder. "It was surreal," explained Julie, "I grew up watching films like The Endless Summer but it's crazy to think that such isolated places like those in the film still exist today!" Even though the concept of surfing was completely new to the North Koreans, they met the new sport with a strong enthusiasm. "People were so excited to surf that they even tired us out!" Ryley said.
At the end of the surf camps the team held an awards ceremony, in which each instructor affirmed and acknowledged their KITC pupils and then gave them each a chance to speak about their experience. "I specifically remember three of the people who shared," long-term staff member Robert McDaniel said. "The man I taught to surf was probably the best surfer of the group. He stood up the most and was the most active. I remember pushing him on a wave and thinking that if the one reason I came to North Korea was for this one wave, then it was enough. At the awards ceremony he stood up and told us, 'Surfing is my best friend.' Among the other participants, was a man who shared that he believes surfing is bringing peace between Korea and America. Another KITC surf pupil shared, 'Surfing has made me brave. Before this I didn't want to try things…I was afraid. Now I want to try new things.'"
Of course, everyone wants to know what the surf was like in North Korea! For two of the surf days the coast was like a lake, but on the third day an offshore typhoon generated a little swell, perfect for beginning surfers. The final day, consistent, glassy, overhead sets came in. The STN team had an amazing session all to themselves, and their students were treated to a show of the best surfing they'd ever seen. The locals of the Majon area named the surf spot "Pioneers".
Robert, who has served on STN's international department and been on most of STN's international surf trips, said that in comparison to all his travels, nothing was quite like North Korea. "This was the first time seeing surfing enter a country. Being able to witness the first moments of a nation's surf history was incredible. People know Hawaii as the first place that was surfed, and you just wonder, could North Korea be known as one of the last?''
STN is hoping that this is not the last time they'll be in North Korea, and with the stoke already spreading in the country, there is sure to be a demand for more boards besides the 13 they already left behind on this trip, knowledge and instruction in the future. STN is excited to see North Koreans gain a love for the water in their own country, and become, like the surf spot, 'Pioneers' for the surf culture of North Korea.

Sailing Adventure Leadership Training
Aiming to take our commitment of character and leadership building to the next level, Surfing The Nations is excited to add a new leadership training program to its roster: S.A.L.T. – Sailing Adventure Leadership Training!
This program gives senior STN staff and volunteers the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to set sail around various Hawaiian Islands on a 96-foot sailboat, SSV Makani Olu, for one week. STN will partner up with The Marimed Foundation for this incredible excursion. Marimed was established in 1984 and delivers ocean and land-based learning experiences that empower youth, adults and families and strengthen communities (http://marimed.org/ ). Not only will the adventure develop skills in teamwork, decision making and adaptability, but STN staff will fully crew the ship: flexing their leadership skills by managing and operating the vessel over a continuous period, day and night, in some of the most intense ocean settings.
The trip will be an experience in what it means to be a true waterman. It will draw on each staff member's endurance – mental and physical – and teamwork skills to achieve the team's goals in the face of difficult challenges, unfamiliar obstacles and some of the harshest natural elements. Water-based activities the crew will also be participating in include snorkeling, free diving, spearfishing and fishing, while enjoying remote hikes during their anchorages.

The 17th Annual Indonesia trip has come to a close. I had the amazing opportunity to lead this adventure trip full of amazing people. Our diverse team of 21 included surfers, photographers, musicians, college students, and a family of four!
We started in Kuta, Bali and over the course of three and a half weeks, went to Bingin, Uluwatu, and Desert Point on Lombok. After that, we jumped on a boat for 7 days to Gili, Sumbawa and Nusa Lembongan. The Indo trip being a surf tour, the team got great surf at world class breaks: Impossibles, Scar Reef, Desert Point, and Shipwrecks, just to name a few. At one point, we sailed through such rough waters that our boat nearly capsized, beating any roller coaster ride money could buy, and causing us all to laugh uncontrollably as we slipped across the boat.
When trying to describe the overall experience of Indonesia, I find myself coming back to the same word:
The surf was both perfect and threatening, the culture was colorful and bold, and the wildlife is up close and personal, a lesson quickly learned from repeat monkey invasions! The nature around us was captivating: the cliffs of Uluwatu, the views of Bingin Beach, the long jaw-dropping barrels at Desert Point, and the breathtaking views of rugged Sumbawa.
On top of getting amazing surf and a ton of laughs, we were consistently reaching out to the communities around us. One of the most amazing experiences was when we were in Desert Point on Lombok.We met a man who had his house halfway built and needed the funds and work to finish it. We had a contractor and a carpenter on the team with us, so they went to his house to check it out.After assessing the need and figuring out what we could do, the team pooled together and provided enough funds for him to get 20 days worth of labor and all the supplies he needed to have his house completed. This man was just one of the people we were able to help on the trip. We passed out clothing and school supplies everywhere we went, helped meet practical needs whenever we could, hung out with the locals, and made lifelong friends.
We also had Cameron Taylor with us, a Hawaii bodyboarder sponsored by Empire bodyboards.Empire generously stocked Cameron up with some brand new bodyboards to give to the kids in one of the most remote locations, Desert Point village on the island of Lombok. When you saw the kids get the chance to play on a board in the waters that they live right in front of their entire lives, you know it's a gift that will keep on giving.People ask me if Indonesia was good, and I tell them Indonesia was everything: It was good, it was fun, it was hard, it was tiring, it was crazy, it was totally different from anything I've done, it was adventure at its essence, and it was worth every second!

Hurricane Playlist: Pepa Knight
I sat in the Surfers Coffee Bar on an ordinary work day, trying to think of a band to write about for a weekend music feature.My friend, Tyler, was visiting from California and plopped down next to me as I stared blankly at my screen, weary from browsing. Seeing the chance to get some fresh ideas, I asked him to tell me a good band that I may have not heard of before. He grabbed his phone, scrolled through some music and threw out a name that was to become my new favorite band: 'Jinja Safari'.
Fast forward to a few years later: Still growing in popularity and stretching beyond the borders of their native Australia, Jinja not only thrives as a group, but is made up of insanely talented solo musicians. Cofrontman of the band, Pepa Knight is one of those who has branched out to produce a solo project, and the first samples are TASTY.
Today, we introduce you to perhaps his most popular single, 'Rahh!'
Pepa creates a surprising sound, picking colorful, lesser-used instruments like the sitar and the flute to accompany soothing, yet energy-filled vocals.
'Rahh!'s use of drums- a very significant and spiritual instrument in many cultures- sets it all to life; carrying the song and waking you up with the rhythm of adventure. Jinja Safari was inspired by the sounds of the world, with frontman Marcus Azon crafting the feel and even the name of the band after his experiences in Jinja, Uganda. Pepa recently took a trip himself across India and that has heavily inspired what he's written.
The fact that the creator of the music is a globe-trotter himself may explain the vagabond feeling that you get when you hear "Rahh!'
It's a song that seems made to accompany an epic sun rise; a reminder of the fresh and the new. It was made for one of those car rides where your arm stretches out of your window, and your fingertips float with the curves of the wind. It's an 'I'm awake to the world and going somewhere!' song.
Inspiring, fun, refreshing.
It's everything you want your weekend, or your life for that matter, to be.
Enjoy the sounds of Pepa Knight and follow him here as you wait for the release of the full album 'Hypnotized' in April 2015!

I'm doing a little camping at the end of this week on the Rogue River near Galice. I was planning on bringing my bike and I was wondering if there are any trails in the area someone could recommend. I'm a beginner/intermediate rider and just looking for fairly mellow trails, I am up for good climbs though.
Thanks for any help you guys can give.

That must suck. For me it's about beauty -- music is just one path
