Matthew Lieberman, a distinguished social psychologist and neuroscientist, basically won the lottery. This past summer, he was offered three million dollars for an academic position—one million in raw income and two to do lab research. That's a king's ransom for a psychology professor. On average, psychology professors make less than six figures and rely on a patchwork of modest grants to sustain their research. All Lieberman had to do was spend four months this year and next year in Moscow, a nice enough city, doing some research—which he would have done anyway at home at UCLA.
But there was a catch. He would have to be away from his wife Naomi and seven-year-old son Ian for those eight months. They could not join him in Moscow. He had a basic trade-off problem, one that kept him up for many nights: Should I take the money and give up those eight months with my family or should I stay home and give up the money and research opportunities? In one form or another, we've all faced this dilemma, if on a more modest scale. Do you work late tonight or join your family for dinner? Do you go to the conference or to your friend's wedding? Do you prioritize your career or your relationships?
Lieberman's new book Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect hits the shelves this month. It's a book about relationships and why relationships are a central—though increasingly absent—part of a flourishing life. Lieberman draws on psychology and neuroscience research to confirm what Aristotle asserted long ago in his Politics: "Man is by nature a social animal … Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god."
Just as human beings have a basic need for food and shelter, we also have a basic need to belong to a group and form relationships. The desire to be in a loving relationship, to fit in at school, to join a fraternity or sorority, to avoid rejection and loss, to see your friends do well and be cared for, to share good news with your family, to cheer on your sports team, and to check in on Facebook—these things motivate an incredibly impressive array of our thoughts, actions, and feelings.
Lieberman sees the brain as the center of the social self. Its primary purpose is social thinking. One of the great mysteries of evolutionary science is how and why the human brain got to be so large. Brain size generally increases with body size across the animal kingdom. Elephants have huge brains while mice have tiny ones. But humans are the great exception to this rule. Given the size of our bodies, our brains should be much smaller—but they are by far the largest in the animal kingdom relative to our body size. The question is why.
Scientists have debated this question for a long time, but the research of anthropologist Robin Dunbar is fairly conclusive on this point. Dunbar has found that the strongest predictor of a species' brain size—specifically, the size of its neocortex, the outermost layer—is the size of its social group. We have big brains in order to socialize. Scientists think the first hominids with brains as large as ours appeared about 600,000-700,000 years ago in Africa. Known as Homo heidelbergensis, they are believed to be the ancestors of Homo sapiens and the Neanderthals. Revealingly, they appear to be the first hominids to have had division of labor (they worked together to hunt), central campsites, and they may have been the first to bury their dead.
One of the most exciting findings to emerge from neuroscience in recent years underlines the brain's inherently social nature. When neuroscientists monitor what's going on in someone's brain, they are typically interested in what happens in it when people are involved in an active task, like doing a math problem or reaching for a ball. But neuroscientists have looked more closely at what the brain does during non-active moments, when we're chilling out and the brain is at rest. Every time we are not engaged in an active task—like when we take a break between two math problems—the brain falls into a neural configuration called the "default network." When you have down time, even if it's just for a second, this brain system comes on automatically.
What's remarkable about the default network, according to Lieberman's research, is that it looks almost identical to another brain configuration—the one used for social thinking or "making sense of other people and ourselves," as he writes: "The default network directs us to think about other people's minds—their thoughts, feelings, and goals." Whenever it has a free moment, the human brain has an automatic reflex to go social. Why would the brain, which forms only 2 percent of our body weight but consumes 20 percent of its energy, use its limited resources on social thinking, rather than conserving its energy by relaxing?

A Tiny House Community
It's what we've all been waiting for, an organized community of tiny house parking, and it's located in California.
Lemon Cove Village will open in January 2015, and owner Dirk Dole says that they've been getting daily inquiries and are hustling to finish renovations. Dirk has experience owning and operating RV parks, but when he was introduced to tiny homes he felt that the tiny structures were "a perfect place for anyone to call home." After that, he decided to open a tiny house community.
B.A. Norrgard, tiny house community consultant, with her tiny home at Lemon Cove Village
Lemon Cove Village is designed for community living, that means the facility includes: a pool, laundry room, community vegetable garden, dog park, community kitchen, tv room, coffee bar, a flex room that can be used for organizing exercise classes or hobbies, and much more.
Community Room
Bathrooms / Showers - being renovated
Community Kitchen - being renovated
Dirk also realizes there are different types of tiny houses, and so he is offering three categories of parking: full hookups, partial hookups (just water and electricity for those with a compost toilet or similar), and off-grid sites (water only) for those with solar and compost. All spots include free wifi. A honey-hut service will be hired to take care of compost. Pricing will vary from $450-595 a month depending on parking location and amenities chosen.
The only rule? TINY HOMES ONLY! At least for now. Dirk has 55 spaces to fill and he wants to create a community feel, so he's trying to keep regular RVs out and to give preference to long term parking (30 days or more). All tiny homes must be on wheels and under 399 square feet. "We've also considered having a section for vintage RV parking, so RVs made before 1965, but for now we're trying to fill the community with tiny homes," said Dirk.
Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of Lemon Cove Village is the ability to rent a space to build a tiny home. "We are renovating an apartment on the property," Dirk explained. "So we are going to offer a space for someone to build their tiny house while residing in the apartment." The build space will include a level cement parking pad, water, electricity, and a shed for tool storage. Not to mention the advantage of being in the middle of a community full of endless tiny house construction knowledge! The build spot will run about $125 a month if living on site or $250 a month for off-site living. Apartment rental price is still being decided.
Apartment for rent during your tiny house build
Currently, Lemon Cove Village is offering a discount (one month free) for the first five reservations. They are also looking to hire a tiny houser who can function as Lemon Cove's caretaker. Free parking and amenities, as well as a small monthly wage will be compensated in exchange for operation management. For more info, contact Lemon Cove Village here.
Community fire pit at Lemon Cove Village
So how does this all sound to you? I'll go on record saying that I am really excited about what this could mean for some tiny housers. Lemon Cove Village is the first large-scale tiny house community, and I hope it paves the road for more and more to pop up all over the country.
Jenna Spesard is currently traveling around North America in a DIY Tumbleweed Cypress with her partner, Guillaume. They are photographing and writing about their adventure and occasionally they will be hosting Tumbleweed workshops and open houses. Be sure to follow their tiny house and giant journey.

For a while, I've wanted to try Zov's Bistro. I may have been here once with my girlfriends long long time ago, but for whatever reason, I have not come back until last night. This time around, it made quite an impression on me and my husband.
I made a reservation for 8:00pm but went to the bakery side. When I told the server I had a reservation, he told me it must be for the restaurant and not the bakery. Oops! :) The restaurant is on the opposite side so we just walked around to the back. I was quite surprised how big the restaurant is, certainly not what I remembered. We were quickly led to a table and given menus to look over. It took a few minutes before our server came and brought water to us.
The menu was not very big. Once we decided what we might order, we waited and waited for our server. Frankly at this point, I was not very happy because it took a good 10 – 15 minutes when he finally came around to us after attending 2 other tables. I jokingly said to him that he needed more help (because I thought the restaurant was a little short-staffed). He was a good trooper and had a great sense of humor, too. After talking to him, we made our dinner choices.
After last night, I don't think it will take me years to come back. Best of all, Costco sells their gift cards. $100 for $79.99. :) Have you dined here? What was your favorite dish?

I just got a book of beer recipes given to me from my dad who recently visited germany. The book is titled:
Gutes Bier Selbst Brauen
schritt fur schritt - mit rezepten by Hubert Hanghofer
Obviously the book is completely writtin in german. I picked a recipe out that I'd like to make and had my dad translate it for me the best he could. He speaks german very well but he has no knowledge of brewing techniques and its vocabulary in the language.
I was hoping someone could help me further understand how this recipe is telling me to brew the beer. I think it is going to be some sort of decoction or infusion mash but thats where I get lost in my dads translation: 1 because I've never done or know how to decoction mash and 2 because the recipe doesnt exactly translate to the vocabulary that I know. O! and I think its a 10 gallon batch. Id like to make it 5. I need help there too. So here it is:
5kg wheat
4.7kg munich malt
.3kg dark caramel malt
80 grams roast wheat malt
(heres where i get confused)
32 liters mash pour
34 liters after pour
mash(mix?) w/ 18 liters of water from 49C - 43C. After 30 minutes (temp sinks to about 42C) brew/cook 14 liters boiling water and add 40 liters of mash at 64C. Mash instructions: After 20 minutes pour in 16 liters of cooked mash bring to 70C-72C. Cook for 10 minutes and brew/cook the tub mash to 75C. let sit for 10 minutes.
main pour- warm to 45C
bring mash to 43C
after 20 minutes heat to 61C-63C and to 70C-72C each time with 30 min rest.
mix mash at 78C
Sounds like some sort of infusion/decoction to me but again, im lost. If someone could help me nail down a procedure Id be willing to post the entire recipe!
-The Fermentalist
Thanks BigEd! That will definitely get me started. Wondering if you could walk me through a double infusion? Never done one before and my research hasn't really gotten me anywhere. This book has classic recipes for a ton of german beers. Alts, bocks, weizens, kolschs, festbiers, marzens, pils, maibocks, lambics, dubbels and others. I'd be happy to send you some recipes but mind you, they would be in that broken english you saw earlier. Any chance you can read german? haha Cheers!
-The Fermentalist
Spezialisiert auf Deutsch Lagerbier...
I'll try and get a couple recipes up in the next few days. Thanks again!
I have been in Bavaria for the last six years working with a local Brewery. I may be able to help you with the translations.
Always do sober what you said you would do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. - Ernest Hemingway
I apologize if this is a little off topic. I spent a little while in southern Germany a couple years ago. Apparently it is considered German "wine country" if there is such a thing (I tend to think of beer when I think of Germany). Anyway, when I was there, the beer selection was pretty limited where I was, but the one option that was always available was pils. Fortunately, I loved it.
Oddly enough, I haven't been able to find anything like it back in the States. The only place (hold the laughter) was in the German section of Epcot at Disney. My wife was with me and she loved it too.
If you have a good pils recipe, I'd love to try to brew it. I've only done extract, but I am more than willing to try partial mash. My gas stove makes temp control pretty easy.
Thanks in advance. From me and my wife.

Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) -- China's money-market rate declined for a fifth day on speculation the government is spending more as the end of the year approaches.
The People's Bank of China sold 15 billion yuan ($2.4 billion) of one-year bills today, keeping the yield at 3.4875 percent for a second week, according to a trader at a primary dealer required to bid at the auctions.
"Because of the fiscal spending, which could be as large as 200 billion yuan, there's room for the PBOC to drain liquidity," said Ju Wang, a fixed-income strategist at Barclays Capital in Singapore. "That would still point to lower money- market rates."
The seven-day repurchase rate, a gauge of funding availability in the financial system, declined 32 basis points, or 0.32 percentage point, to 3.67 percent at the close in Shanghai, according to a weighted average compiled by the National Interbank Funding Center.
The one-year swap rate, the fixed cost to receive the seven-day repo rate, was little changed at 3.03 percent. The yield on the 3.26 percent government bond due June 2014 was steady at 3.07 percent.
Citigroup Inc. cut its estimate for 2012 Chinese economic growth to 8.4 percent from 8.7 percent, according to a research note today. The central bank may cut lenders' reserve requirements before the Chinese New Year in late January if recent capital outflows continue, the note said. The PBOC may also raise interest rates to stabilize deposits, economists led by Hong Kong-based Minggao Shen and Shuang Ding wrote.
The monetary authority sold 10 billion yuan of 28-day repurchase agreements at 2.8 percent today, according to a statement on its website.
In February, The central bank published a list of 50 primary dealers allowed to participate in open-market operations, including Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd., Agricultural Bank of China Ltd., Bank of China Ltd., China Construction Bank Corp., China Citic Bank Corp., Industrial Bank Co. and Postal Savings Bank of China.

Cara Savarese had two hits in the Hoyas 9-4 loss.
April 3, 2009
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Georgetown University softball team (7-23, 1-8 BIG EAST) fell behind during Providence's four-run fifth inning and was able to climb back into the game after leading by three runs, as the Friars (11-17, 3-1 BIG EAST) defeated the Hoyas 9-4 on Friday afternoon at Guy Mason Field.
Freshman Cara Savarese (Syosset, N.Y./Syosset) went 2-for-4 for GU, while Jennifer Connell struck out six in the loss, allowing nine runs on 14 hits over 7.0 innings.
Kristi Preuss and Samantha Peters drew back-to-back walks in the bottom of the first inning, but Bertolette got two groundouts to end the inning with any damage. The Hoyas again would put two runners on base in the bottom of the second inning with no outs, but a foul out, a strike out and a ground out to strand two more runners.
In the bottom of the third inning the Hoyas were able to breakthrough, as Samantha Peters drew a one-out walk followed by a single from Cara Savarese. Mackensey Carter's line drive up the middle glanced off the pitchers' glove and was thrown past the first baseman, allowing Peters to cross the plate for the Hoyas first run. Suria Bahadue laid down a bunt to allow Savarese to cross the plate giving the Hoyas a two-run lead and Olivia Newhouse singled to centerfield, driving Carter home to extend the lead to three runs.
Providence answered quickly in the top of the fourth inning as Jen Garcia hit a two-out single and Gina Rossi deposited Connell's offering over the centerfield fence, bringing the Friars within one run, 3-2.
The Friars stormed into the lead with a four-run top of the fifth inning. Mary Rose Sheehy tripled down the right field line to drive in two runs, taking a 4-3 lead. Christy Becker followed with a wind-aided two-run over the right 3 fence to extend the lead to three runs, 6-3.
Providence added another run in the top of the sixth inning, as Michelle Huber tripled to drive in another run, giving the Friars a 7-3 lead.
GU would close the gap to three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning when Samantha Peters singled to score Kelsie Hanson, making the score 7-4. PC added two more insurance runs in the top of the seventh inning then retired the Hoyas in order to hang on for the win.
Danielle Bertolette earned the victory allowing four runs, none earned, on six hits over 7.0 innings.

An employee at a U.S. bank regulator solicited prostitutes via government e-mail, according to the Treasury Department's internal watchdog.
The employee, from the now-defunct Office of Thrift Supervision, used the agency's e-mail "to communicate with women offering a variety of adult/erotic services" and met with prostitutes three times, the Treasury's inspector general said in a 2010 investigation. The report was posted this month on the website governmentattic.org following a Freedom of Information Act request.
The employee, a human resources specialist with 36 years in the federal government, retired in October 2010 and wasn't named in the report.
The inspector general shared the information with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, "which declined to accept the case for prosecution absent aggravating circumstances," according to the report.
In a separate incident, the inspector general found in 2010 that an examiner from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency accepted golf fees and food from executives at a bank the OCC was inspecting.
The OCC "attaches great importance to ethical conduct by all our employees, and we expect all OCC employees to meet these high standards," spokesman Bryan Hubbard said in an e-mail today. "These are isolated incidences and do not diminish the highly ethical behavior of thousands of other OCC employees."
The OTS was a Treasury agency that became part of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency last year. The comptroller's office is an independent Treasury bureau that regulates U.S. banks.

Luke Mitchell and Peyton List
The CW's beyond-generic The Tomorrow People feels like yesterday's news — and not just because it's adapted from a '70s British sci-fi series. Turns out this isn't as durable a property as Doctor Who, or maybe the reboot is just that bad. Cut from the same angsty pattern of so many CW supernatural shows, Tomorrow (Wednesday, 9/8c) offers up a duller than usual gaggle of pretty, overripe CW teens-in-their-20s with superpowers. The "Tomorrow People," we learn in an endless prattle of exposition, are a cluster of genetic mutations whose special gifts emerge upon adolescence. Forget pimples. This subculture specializes in the "three T's": teleportation, telepathy, telekinesis. They forgot "tired," "tepid" and "too too derivative," which much better describes the experience of meeting these lost kids.

Rescue Me
(Unnecessary) spoiler alert: Rescue Me's Tommy Gavin isn't dead.
Even a show with a penchant for keeping dead characters around as ghosts couldn't kill off its lead, right? But last season's finale, which ended with Tommy (series star and co-creator Denis Leary) bleeding out after being shot by his Uncle Teddy (Lenny Clarke), wasn't a total cheat: Tommy fades away just long enough to get a frightening vision of his afterlife.Exclusive: Rescue Me's creators dish on the shocking season finale

Discover Chocolate and Live La Vida Cocoa!
I'm now on batch six to making Bean to Bar Chocolat. I'm pleased and the process hasn't been to difficult. It took me to batch six to realize I must have at least 2 pounds of nibs in the machine with the cocoa butter for the cocoa town to run properly. Anything less and the wheels spin slowly and often stop. The first batch was the worst. Not necessarily bad but I didn't have a formula yet to…

Frid'Eh Update #8 Presented by Fly Racing
By Kyle Carruthers and Billy Rainford
Week #8 belongs to Williams Lake, BC rider Brock Hoyer.
Bigwave photo
Hello, everyone, and welcome to another weekend! This is Frid'Eh Update #8 presented by Fly Racing. Is it just me or is it always Friday? #8 for the 2014 Canadian season is Williams Lake, BC native Brock Hoyer. A lot of our Frid'Eh Update riders have been off our radar for the past few months but that is not the case for the Spectra Powersports Fox Shox by RMX FXR Yamaha rider. Brock has been competing in the Future West Kawasaki Canadian Arenacross Championships all winter, so we've seen him on a fairly regular basis.
Hoyer currently sits 2nd in the Pro Lights class (9 points out of 1st), 3rd in the Pro Open class (42 points out of 1st), and 3rd in the Overall (42 points out of 1st and 20 out of 2nd). There is one more weekend of action March 7-8 in Cloverdale, BC at the Agriplex so there are still points up for grabs and nothing is settled yet.
Brock isn't one to sit idle very long and even took a trip 'south' to Idaho to race his Timber Sled at a race. He showed up out of nowhere and won the thing in true Hoyer style. With so much snow up his way, his converted Yamaha 450 is the only way to get riding in.
We gave Brock a quick call this morning to get his thoughts on his winter and find out what his summer plans for the Rockstar Energy Motocross Nationals are:
Hello. I'm just waking up and have a little bit of work to do on the old dirt cycle. We're just doing some filming for 'Braap '14' snowmobile video. I had a quick segment in it last year and we're trying to up it this year so I'm up in Vernon, BC. We were down in Revelstoke yesterday filming doing a full moto track sequence. We got some cool scrubs and you'll have to check it out when it comes out in the middle of this summer. But we head out into the mountains today so I'll be here for about a week with the film crew.
There is endless, deep snow. In Revelstoke on Monday with the new Yamaha product line I was on a snow bike then and when we went back yesterday you couldn't even tell I was on the track! There is that much fresh snow.
The arenacross season started out well this year—I've got a great bike with Yamaha Canada. The set-up is good but I didn't get as much testing done as I would have liked. I felt I came out strong with a couple podiums and some firsts. I came from behind and won. The last weekend I struggled a little. I feel good with the 2nd. I've been in this a long time. There are a lot of fast guys this year and I feel like I've done very well. I'm definitely going to concentrate on the Lights class and try to beat Jeremy (Medaglia). I'm going to do everything I can to keep my sharpness heading into those last two rounds of arenacross.
This summer I've got a couple schools going on and also the Seattle SX coming up in April. I will hopefully make the main event in that. I normally head down to California but we're doing a different plan this year. Basically I'm doing the western nationals. I've got great support through Yamaha Canada and I really want to try to further things in western Canada. I'm going to stay closer to home and my grassroots and help the young guys out.
My contract is for west but we'll just take it on a day by day basis and see how it goes. If something crazy happens and I'm doing really good in the points like top 5 or something then we'll have to re-negotiate. As of right now I'm just in for the west. I want to try to stay home a little more and keep the wife happy.
I'd like to thank my sponsors: Yamaha Canada, Spectra Power Sports, Fox Suspension by RMR, FXR, Forma boots, FMF, Deft Family gloves, 100%, Atlas Neck Brace, Matrix Concepts, PTI Graphics, Apex Tile and Granite, Maskall's Collision, CTI, Dissent Labs, Devol Racing, Galfer, and Timber Sled.
Thanks, Billy, and I think I saw some signs of spring this week when the temperature hit plus 5 here in SWO. Although the high temps did bring more than enough rain, it's a good thing, it means snow is melting, Toronto Supercross is only weeks away and the SWO opening at Gopher Dunes for practice is a now a small glimpse on the horizon. We have one more round of Future West Canadian Kawasaki AX and the Future West group has their first outdoor event of the year shortly after that which really gets the outdoor season kicking off here in Canada as clubs and sanctioning bodies across the country start to get into high gear.

Although I thought I would be writing this update from the Toronto Motorcycle Show today I decided not to battle the traffic on the 401 and figured I should stay home and go to the show tomorrow instead. Not only will this give me a chance to check out GDR Troy Lee Designs Honda rider Colton Facciotti but I'll be able to swing by the KTM, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Suzuki booths and see the new line ups of MX and Off road bikes as well as some of the cool new dual sport stuff that usually appeals to us MX guys. Did I mention I am taking a stress day and watching the Men's Hockey game as well while I write this?

Mad Skills Motocross 2 Mobile Game Released
Now Available on the App Store and the Google Play Store
Umea, Sweden. (February 20, 2014) – Turborilla today announced the release of their mobile game Mad Skills Motocross 2 on the App Store and Google Play Store. It's the sequel to their smash-hit debut game, Mad Skills Motocross, which is widely considered the best side-scrolling mobile game ever made and has been installed on nearly 5 million iOS devices. Mad Skills Motocross 2 can be downloaded for free at:
Download link: http://mad.mx/1fw7cbN
The game has blasted out of the gate. It's already a top 100 overall app in the markets where it was first released, and it's climbing quickly. The Android version of the game currently has a 4.6 (out of 5) rating on the Google Play Store.
"Our first game was a big hit, but we knew we could do even better," says Turborilla founder Tobias Andersson. "Mad Skills Motocross 2 physics are similar to its predecessor, but there's so much more to this sequel. We think players are going to love how easy it is to race against friends and against people they follow on Twitter."
Mad Skills Motocross 2 features remarkable physics, intense and addicting gameplay, cross-platform play, customizable and upgradable motorcycles, social, national and regional competitions, new tracks every week, and much more.
The trailer for Mad Skills Motocross was released on Monday and has already been viewed more than 30,000 times on YouTube and other locations. Watch it now at:
It's great to see more teams being announced and Canadian team Devil's Lake MX made their team announcement this week and it is looking like a strong one. Western Women's champ Hailey Larson will once again return as well as MX2 runner-up Josh Clark alongside David Gassin and new team member Dylan Kaelin. It's great to see a Canadian team once again commit to the series and there is no doubt they have title contenders in more than one class. I caught up with Dylan Kaelin and this is what he had to say:
"I'm really happy to be working with Trevor (Cerny) at Devil's lake. I gave him a call a few weeks back looking for some studded tires to ride this winter. I brought up what my plans were for the 2014 race season. We started talking more and more and got things to mesh for both parties. It will be great to have the team & track within an hour of our house in Alberta. Also where I'm working isn't far away either. It's a win win situation and I'm looking forward to the races I will be able to compete in this year".

Ok back to some hockey and I just want to wish my good buddy Matt Morison good luck in his Olympic event tomorrow morning as he takes on the Men's Parallel Slalom Snowboard event. Go Matt Go!
Wes Wrozyna checked in from Florida with a quick update and a few pictures of what's going on down at GPF with Honda Canada GDR TLD rider Westen Wrozyna. Check it out:
We have a great program down here this year. The boys are all working super hard. They run every morning, in the gym, and motos on the track.
We have Westen Wrozyna, Cameron Wrozyna, Mitch Goheen, Carter Hutcherson, Cooper Larche, Liam Weiss and Duncan MacLeod. Tanner Ward
should have been here but suffered his injury in AX.
The gang heading out for a run down at GPF.
It looks like it's motos until sunset down at GPF.
Thanks, Kyle. Like everyone, I'm sitting here trying to get as much done as I can before the big Canada vs. USA men's Olympic hockey semi-final here. Yesterday's women's game was something for the record books! I know a lot of people south of the border read DMX so I won't toot our red and white horn too much but that was an amazing way to win gold! Put it this way, if American Football was in the Olympics, that's how important these hockey games are to us. Let's hope we are in for another great game here today. (Of course, the game will have now finished, so here is my reaction now that it's over.) I would like to be a good winner right now and say that was a great game. Both teams played well and let's just agree that the better team won! Canada 1 - USA 0. Bring on the gold game against Sweden on Sunday!
The big news this week is that Dean Wilson will be riding the Two Two Motorsports Discount Tire Kawasaki 450 for the injured Chad Reed in the east. We all know that these two already have a close relationship and that this didn't come as that much of a surprise to anyone once Reed announced he was out. Wilson is a very hard-working almost-Canadian and I hope he comes out swinging in Indianapolis next weekend.
Greg Small did a nice 'Small Talk' article on the whole thing Thursday and if you missed it you can read it HERE.
Here's a video of Dean's first ride on the bike:
As Kyle already mentioned, the big news north of the border was that the Devil's Lake MX crew has upped the ante for 2014 and signed a very strong squad for this coming summer. We got to know these guys pretty well last year and they are a great group of people with a ton of passion for moto. With #23 Josh Clark last year they managed to take 2nd overall in the MX2 class and their program kept getting better and better as the summer progressed.
Now they've added three more riders to the trailer and will have a much more noticeable presence in all classes. They now have #41 David Gassin and 2-time defending Women's West champion #1W Hailey Larson. Gassin was always right there in the MX1 class and with less to worry about this coming summer I look for him to have some even better results. He was also plagued with injuries and mechanicals in 2013. Larson will once again be tough to beat in the west and will then continue her goal of qualifying for MX2 motos as the series heads east.
Also on the team will be #31 Dylan Kaelin originally from Grand Bend, Ontario. Kaelin has the potential to run up near the front and, like Gassin, with less on his plate to worry about should be able to realize that potential in 2014.
Kyle got in touch with Dylan Kaelin so I spoke with Devil's Lake MX's Trevor Cerny (Yes, he said their grandparents were cousins "back in the old country.") We got to know him pretty well last season and you could tell that he had big plans for the future of the team. Well, it looks like things have escalated faster than we thought they would! I caught up with him as he was driving somewhere out in Alberta to a job site that keeps him busy 7 days a week during the winter.

I want to come into 2014 in a big way. I knew last year that this was my goal and have been working on it since November. We just got most of the things finalized here so that's when I did the press release with the four riders on the team.
I was scouting these riders out last year and I believe I got two very strong 450 riders that with a little bit of coaching can be contenders in the top 10 or maybe even top 5. With Josh and his stellar year last year we've got big plans for that boy. And then with Hailey coming on board it's a nice little bonus especially with the amateurs and all the females and parents that follow the sport. It's going to be a great season.
We're all going to be on Yamahas from Riverside Yamaha Motorsports. The riders will be on the road through the summer. I have my main race rig going across Canada with a new truck under it this year. I have a Toy Hauler for a chase rig that Hailey and David will be following the race rig across Canada with.
With the bigger team we'll have a new team manager in Cal Nowiki who has stepped up on board. We have new mechanic Milan Sochor. He's a great great engine man. We did a lot of work and plan to be a major contender this year.
This team could be one to watch this summer. Congratulations on all the hard work paying off.
With only a few months left until national racing starts here in Canada, I wanted to see how things are coming along on the women's side of things so I got in touch with Camille Baker-Bunko to see where things stood. She was busy at work but had this to say:
We are frantically looking for sponsors and filling out sponsorship application forms for the series. A lot of sponsors from last year will be supporting us again and we have a few new sponsors on board as well! It is looking like it is shaping up to be another great series with a ton of awards and prizes. We hope to be releasing detailed information of what we have so far in the next few weeks. Check out the website that Sierra Roth made at www.cdnwmx.com for up to date info on the series.
Thanks, Camille. Hopefully, things come together smoothly for everyone involved. The women's racing on Saturdays is always the highlight of the day and has been gaining momentum each year. The racing has been deeper and with Hailey Larson going for the three-pete, things will be even more intense than ever!
Camille and here 'Wall of Sponsors' last season.

Kourtney Lloydand the Cycle North gang are hosting a screening of the moto movie "Why We Ride" at the Prince George Playouse this Saturday night. The night will also be a fundraiser for injured freestyle rider Bruce Cook. Here is an article on the 250 News website.
I wanted to touch base with Manitoba rider Ryan Millar to chat about his upcoming season. It was announced last week that he would be teaming up with American rider Kyle Swanson to compete in the Rockstar Energy Motocross Nationals in 2014 with the PHMX team. I caught Ryan as he was making some lunch and finishing up some renovations on his house out in Miami, MB. We had a good talk but he really couldn't say too much 'officially' yet because they are still working out minor details LIKE BIKES! Ryan is partial to his KTMs but we'll have to wait and see what the two riders end up on. Millar will be the MX1 rider while Swanson will compete in the MX2 class.
Ryan will be heading down to Texas to train as soon as he puts his tools away and Swanson is currently competing in the East Coast Lites SX series. They are still working out the finer details of the deal but the gang at Prairie Hill MX (I couldn't find a link to the track's web page and almost linked Prairie Hill Montessori...close) track are planning on hosting a money race on the weekend during the week break as the series heads from Saskatchewan to Ontario, so watch for more details on that as we get them.
OK, I'll leave it this week by correcting my rather embarrassing Grade 1 math error last week. I said Cycle North Honda's Jeremy Medaglia leads his teammate Ross Johnson by 1 point in the overall heading into the final weekend of arenacross racing March 7-8. Although it makes a much better story, the real math comes out to a 22-point lead. I'm going to go ahead and blame Joanne M for the error. Although I'm suffereing with a couple messed up fingers at the moment, I always have one ready to point.
The rain has started here so things will look like this soon enough. See you at the races...

Drawing on an education that includes a doctorate from Texas Chiropractic College and a bachelor's degree in public health and human biology, Dr. Brandt L. Spies of Lordex Spine Institute treats bodies entangled by such painful conditions as herniated disks, headaches, and spinal arthritis. The doctor upgrades spinal hardware with chiropractic adjustments, and the center's squadron of licensed massage therapists tinkers on soft tissue with modalities that include Swedish, sports, and deep tissue. The institute also boasts the Lordex Lumbar Spinal Decompression System, a padded table with a knee bolster that supports prostrate patrons. During the 30-minute sessions that make use of this system, a gap in the table slowly widens, stretching spines to alleviate lower back pain and add flexibility to overstarched overalls.
Part of the nationwide LaVida Massage family, LaVida Massage of League City specializes in alleviating pain with nearly 10 expertly administered modalities. The center?s team of seven licensed massage therapists tackle stress with everything from gentle Swedish kneads to the intense techniques of sports massage, ideal for athletes who always try to outdance their mascots. Besides relieving achy muscles, sessions at LaVida help bolster circulation, lessen anxiety, and reduce fatigue. Massages aside, the therapists provide clients with treatments such as gentle aromatherapies and foot scrubs.
Dr. Chris Doyle once had a patient come into Planet Health with an aching neck that would not quit. Everyday pain treatments, such as heat pads and ibuprofen, didn't make a difference, and a series of chiropractic adjustments with the doctor brought little relief. Realizing the true problem at hand, Dr. Doyle ordered custom orthotics to correct her flat feet, and within a week, the neck pain was gone.
Dr. Doyle acknowledges that most people see each part of the body in isolation, but people should instead see the body as an interconnected unit. An imbalance in one part affects another seemingly disparate part of the body. The spine is what connects the nervous system to the rest of the body, and when it is misaligned, it can affect the nerve impulses sent from that area, which in turn can affect the function of faraway organs and muscles. The general tenet of chiropractic care, he says, is that the body is fully capable of healing itself. His work just helps speed it along.
To this end, Planet Health's services all focus on healing without the use of pharmaceuticals. Cold-laser therapy works to ameliorate inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis, tendonitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. During chiropractic massages, muscles shed tension and toxins to increase circulation and flexibility. Acupuncture sessions reroute bodily energy without the need to implant traffic signals below the skin's surface.
Chiropractic care helped rehabilitate Dr. Joel Duchon, D.C. when he was in a car accident as a teenager. The experience inspired him to study the practice, earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Texas Chiropractic College after graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from University of Maryland, College Park. At Webster Laser Like Lipo, Dr. Duchon taps into his extensive training to administer services including peripheral neuropathy, which addresses numbness and tingling sensations, and spinal decompression therapy, which ameliorates spinal pain better than a WD-40 epidural.
HealthSource's team of chiropractors, licensed massage therapists, and physical trainers aid patients in shedding bodily ailments through personalized Action Plans. Staff members work closely with patients to identify sources of pain such as misaligned vertebrae, pinched nerves, arthritis, and office chairs made out of magma. Treatment Plans may prescribe daily exercises as well as spinal adjustments performed by machines or the sure hands of chiropractors raised by machines. During rehabilitation sessions, knowledgeable trainers help patients overcome athletic and trauma-related injury with exercises to reestablish muscle strength and flexibility.
At La Porte Chiropractic Associates, Dr. Victor Peres scrutinizes clients' spines to find the sources of ailments ranging from whiplash to headaches. The office also has computerized instruments that can adjust the backs of patients who prefer digital precision when dealing with their spines.

The Thoreau You Don't Know: The Father of Nature Writers on the Importance of Cities, Finance, and Fooling Around (Paperback)
Not in stock. Usually ships in 1-5 days from the warehouse.
A New York Times Editors' Choice
Most readers think they know Henry David Thoreau: the solitary curmudgeon with the shack out in the woods. In this delightfully engaging book, Robert Sullivan gives us the Thoreau we don't know: the gregarious adventurer, the guy who liked to go camping with friends (even if they sometimes accidentally burned the woods down). Here is no lonely eccentric but a man who danced and sang, who worked throughout his short life at the family pencil-making business, who moved into his parents' house after leaving Walden Pond and always paid his father rent. Passionate yet whimsical, The Thoreau You Don't Know asks us to cast off our misconceptions as we reexamine our everyday relationship with the natural world and one another.
About the Author

Learning C/C++ Step-By-Step - Page 07
Submitted by ganesh35 (Contact Author) (Forums) on Wed, 2009-01-07 18:29. ::
07. Step-by-Step C/C++ --- C Programming - Arrays
1. Introduction to arrays
A variable can hold a constant value. Only a single constant value and it is not possible to hold more than one value in a variable.
The following example demonstrates the scope a variable.
The above program is able to display only 1005, but not all the values (i,e. 1001, 1008, 1005 ).
Can we substitute the following program in place of the above program.
Let's continue with the following program to get 0 errors program.
The above program displays a list of errors, because of the approach is wrong.
Depending on the above program, the variable sno can hold more than one student number. It's easy, by using multi-location technique, is also known as arrays.
2. About Arrays
Arrays contain a number of data items of the same type. This type can be a simple data type, a structure, or a class. The items in an array are called elements. Number accesses elements; this number is called an index. Elements can be initialized to specific values when the array is defined.
Arrays can have multiple dimensions.
A two-dimensional array is an array of array. The address of an array can be used as an argument to a function; the array itself is not copied. Arrays can be used as member data in classes. Care must be taken to prevent data from being placed in memory outside an array.
/* The following program reads 4 persons age and displays it */
Like other variables in C, an array must be defined before it can be used to store information. And, like other definitions, an array definition specifies a variable type and a name.
But it includes another feature: a size. The size specifies how many data items the array will contain. It immediately follows the name, and is surrounded by square brackets.
3. Array Elements
The items in an array are called elements. Single Dimensional array accepts values to either row wise or column wise. It can store only one set of values.
An array value can be initialized directly at design time.
4. Passing Arrays to FunctionsArrays can be used as arguments to functions.
In a function declaration, the data type and sizes of the array represent array arguments.
void display(float [DISPLAY][MONTHS]);When the function is called, only the name of the array is used as an argument.
Program to accept and print array of 10 elements
Returning array of values from functions is also possible but we must be clear with the concept of pointers. Please look in to the pointers topics for more info.
5. Classification of Arrays
Arrays are of two types.
1. Single Dimensional Arrays
A single dimensional array is a collection of elements in a row or a column fashion.
The following program is able to perform all the tasks described above.
2. Double Dimensional Arrays
A double dimensional array is a collection of elements in row and column fashion.

OK, top this for a nightmare scenario: A disabled school bus is filled with kids who don't know each other, and who all suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder, hyperactivity, depression, dyslexia, mood swings or other brain disorders. The bus actually broke down en route to the set of Linda Ellerbee's Nick News special What's Wrong with Me? (Sunday, 8:30 pm/ET on Nickelodeon). The funny thing is, everything turned out just fine.
"They all bonded," Ellerbee tells TV Guide Online. "They made friends, and they all talked about what it was like to be with all these other kids who were like them. And later on, we grown-ups sat and thought that maybe this idea of 'mainstreaming' isn't really the right answer."
One of those grown-ups was special guest Dr. Phil McGraw, whom Ellerbee was meeting for the first time. "From the moment he sat down on the set, every time he responded to a kid, he knew that kid's name," she says. "I judge grown-ups

Spotlight Recipes: Baked Tortilla Chipsby Liz Gray in Healthy Recipes, February 24, 2011
Proof there really is a food holiday for everything: Today is National Tortilla Chip Day. We're celebrating by making a batch of homemade baked tortilla chips! It's easier than you think — here's how you do it.
Custom Tortilla Chips
When you make your own chips, you control the amount of oil. You still need a little bit of oil to give your chips the characteristic crunch, but you can use far less than when you deep fry. You can also control the amount of salt, and can add custom flavorings!
Make the Chips
All you need to make your own tortilla chips is about corn tortillas (white or yellow) and neutral-flavored oil, like canola. You don't need much — about a tablespoon is plenty for 12 tortillas, which will serve 6. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat both sides of each tortilla . Then stack up and cut into sixths. Spread them in a single layer on 2 baking sheets and bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned and crisp.
Spice It Up
When your chips are done, give them some flavor! Sprinkle on a little salt just as they come out of the oven, or try one of these options:
- Chili powder
- Smoked paprika
- Ground cumin
- Salt mixed with lemon or lime zest
- Garlic powder
- Cinnamon and sugar
To add even more flavor to your chip, try using flavored flour or multi-grain tortillas. The possibilities are endless!
Healthy Dippers
Chips without dip is like peanut butter without jelly — sad and unjust. Save the high-fat dips for a special occasion and try a healthier option, like bean dip, salsa or guacamole.
Recipes to Try:
- Baked Tortilla Chips
- Roasted Chile Guac With Baked Tortilla Chips(pictured)
- Chunky Guacamole
- Bobby's Baked Chips With Eggplant Dip
- 2-Alarm Tofu Dip
- Alton's Edamame Dip
- Six Layers and a Chip Dip
- Green Goddess Dip
Got leftover chips? Use 'em up to make this Mexican-inspired chile-cheese breakfast casserole.
TELL US: Do you make tortilla chips? What's your favorite dipper?

It's another bad day for housing stocks.
Industry giant DR Horton (DHI) fell 1.4% to $21.30, declining for a third straight trading session since posting disappointing financial results on July 24, the same day the Census Bureau released a weak new home sales report for June. Today's catalyst? More weak housing data and the aftershock from MKM Partners downgrade of the stock from Buy to Neutral amid worries about gross margins.
According to the financial results released last week, D.R. Horton used sales incentives to boost volumes during the previous quarter. So while sales contracts rose 25% in the quarter ended June 30, the gains came at a price. Those incentives drained nearly a full percentage point from the home builder's gross margin.
In Friday's note to investors, MKM analysts Megan McGrath and Ross Sparenblek scolded the company for its "poorly managed earnings call." The pair wrote:
…We think DHI management perhaps suffered from a bit of hubris yesterday, assuming they could "change the conversation" from a focus on gross margins to a focus on return on investment. However, in a quarter when gross margins saw a roughly 200 bps decline, we think this clearly backfired. Although order growth was strong (+25%), investors were not comforted by the margin that needed to be sacrificed to get to that growth level…
In all, D.R. Horton's stock price has fallen 14% since last week's earnings miss. But it isn't the only housing stock suffering today. Data from the National Association of Realtors regarding pending home sales for June failed to live up to expectations, reporting a drop in signed contracts to buy existing home after three months of growth.
Lennar (LEN) fell 2.4% to $37.49 and KB Home (KBH) fell 2% to $17.01. PulteGroup (PHM) sank about 1.3%%.
Housing ETFs including SPDR S&P Homebuilders (XHB) fell 1.56% to $30.27 and iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (ITB) fell 1.47% to $22.78. PowerShares Dynamic Building & Construction Fund (PKB) lost about 0.75%.
Home builder stocks have had their ups and downs over the last few months. But on Thursday, the sector collapsed like a faulty roof.
Investors were already skittish in the face of rising mortgage rates. But stocks are plunging across the board in response to disappointing financial reports released today by PulteGroup (PHM) and D.R. Horton (DHI).
D.R. Horton missed on revenue, while Pulte missed both top- and bottom-line estimates.
Pulte plunged $1.77, or 9.6% to $16.68, followed by DR. Horton, which dropped $1.77, or 8.5% to $19.45.
And the rest of the sector sold-off to lesser degrees, sending the iShares Dow Jones US Home Construction ETF (ITB) falling $4.3%.
"Home builder stocks are getting schmeissed today, and I continue to suggest selling the group," wrote hedge fund manager Doug Kass, president of Seabreeze Partners Management.
Looking to appease investors, Pulte announced it is starting a quarterly dividend and increasing its share buyback effort to $250 million. It didn't see to help much.
Barrons.com has been cautious on the home builder sector for some time. Last month, we suggested avoiding the entire sector ( see Barron's Take, "Don't Bet the House on Home Builders," June 25), arguing that the second half of 2013 could be difficult.
Borrowing costs have surged on expectations that the Federal Reserve will scale back bond purchases. The 30-year average fixed mortgage rate was 4.31% in the week ended today, up from a near-record low of 3.35% in May, according to Freddie Mac.
Homebuyers are rattled, contributing to a rise in cancellations and a drop off in traffic.
Pulte said second-quarter orders fell 12%. D.R. Horton said orders rose 12%, which was below the expectations.
Other home builders, meanwhile, shared the pain today.
KB Homes (KBH) dropped $1 or 5.5% to $17.02. Lennar (LEN) fell $1.68, or almost 5% to $32.25. Beazer Homes (BZH) fell 85 cents, or 4.7% to $17. And Toll Brothers (TOL) fell 65 cents, or 2% to $31.66.
Home prices rose for the fourth straight month in July, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller index released today. It was just one more piece of evidence that the housing sector is on the rebound. But investors don't seem to need the reminder — they've been bidding up homebuilder stocks for months in anticipation.
In fact, some stocks in the sector may be getting ahead of themselves, writes Barclays analyst Stephen Kim.
"It appears that we have reached that point in the rally when investors are pricing in a 'best case' scenario — and even then it is difficult to justify much higher valuations for the strongest homebuilders," Kim writes.
Kim thinks that concerns about excess inventory in recent years will give way to "a surprising shortage of quality housing supply," which should push prices higher.
"Despite robust demand, supply constraints will likely keep housing starts from growing more than 25% per year through 2015. Meanwhile, inventories of non-distressed homes for sale are at their lowest level since 1992," Kim predicts. "This scarcity of quality homes to buy could drive prices up 5.0%-7.5% per year through 2015, causing nominal prices in 2015 to exceed levels reached during the housing bubble."
But isn't that good for homebuilders? Yes, says Kim. In fact, he raised his price targets on stocks in the sector.
And yet, the gains from this scenario are already priced into the stocks. Investors have piled into homebuillders in part because there aren't very many other ways to play the housing rebound using traditional investments. "[A]n absence of large-cap ways to invest in the housing theme has driven valuations in the sector to uncomfortable levels."
Kim lowered his rating on DR Horton (DHI), Lennar (LEN), and Toll Brothers (TOL) to Equal Weight from Overweight. Instead he recommends "swapping into the higher-beta names KB Home (KBH) and Pulte Group (PHM)."
Some homebuilders got a brief lift from Lennar's (LEN) earnings this morning. But that momentum is gone, and the stocks are dropping with the rest of the market.
Lennar outpaced the Street, posting 40 cents of EPS against expectations for 28 cents. Orders jumped 44%, ahead of consensus expectations for 34% growth. The CEO's commentary seemed bullish for the entire industry.
"The housing market has stabilized and the recovery is well underway," said CEO Stuart Miller in a statement. "Low mortgage rates, affordable home prices, increased buyer confidence and an extremely favorable rent-to-own comparison are driving growth in each of our markets. Additionally, reduced foreclosures and declining distressed home inventory are further contributing to the improvement in the housing market."
And yet, Lennar is down 1.7% after starting the morning in the black along with some of its peers. The builder and its peers may be getting hit by some of the same Europe-related fears as the rest of the market. Their charts are similar to the S&P 500 this morning. Toll Brothers (TOL) is off 1% and KB Home (KBH) is down 3%.
Lennar isn't cheap; it trades at about 2.1 times book value, notes MKM Partners analyst Megan McGrath.
That said, "there is nothing in our first view at these results that leads us to believe that momentum is slowing in any way," McGrath wrote.
Homebuilders are on the move this morning after the National Association of Home Builders said its gauge of builder sentiment about single-family homes rose to its highest level in more than four years. The index hit 29, up from 25 a month ago, and tends to track with data on single-family home starts. Nonetheless, sentiment needs to hit 50 to indicate that more builders see prospects as "good" than "poor."
"Builder confidence has doubled since September as measured by the HMI," said NAHB Chairman Barry Rutenberg in a statement. "Given the recent improvements in new home starts and the increasing number of markets included in the NAHB/First American Improving Markets Index, this consistency suggests that the housing market is moving toward more sustainable growth."
Builders have generally risen in the past six months as data points to slightly stronger demand. But some of the optimism about the industry appears to be wishful thinking, particularly as analysts and investors peg their hopes for stocks in numerous industries on strength in the housing market.
MDC Holdings (MDC) rose 2.2%; Lennar (LEN) was up about 1% after trading in negative territory before the data was released.

Dr. Jeffrey A. Loewy's Ratings
Dr. Loewy is a very caring doc who takes time to really listen. His receptionist Luann is outstanding. She always gets me in and I've never waited more than 10 minutes. Usually I sit down open a magazine and before I can read two words, I'm in the exam room.

Dr. Lowey is great his receptionist rude. Our time is just as valuable as yours.

Bad first impression of his office. Can't get an appointment when I am sick and his receptionist wants me to then speak to someone in billing to put me into the system for the future. What is the point of a doctor who can't see you when you are sick?? Receptionist was rude and not accomidating.

Dr Loewy is excellent. He has great bedside manner. I trust his expertise and he does pertinent testing only. He is very easy to speak to and I can't say enough good things about him. It's been a nightmare for me dealing with his receptionist (Luann). I've only had her actually answer the phone twice in 4 years. While I can get appointments very quickly, she is often rude, gives advice without consulting doctor or making an appt, and is not helpful for obtaining test results. I have a couple long term medical problems and like to be told the results of my blood work (even if it's just a message that it was reviewed or everything is fine). I've also had issues refilling prescriptions in this practice (sent to the pharmacy wrong). If you can deal with some headaches from the staff, Dr. Loewy is exceptional. I unfortunately could not.

I love Dr. Loewy. My whole family has been seeing him for a real long time, and he's alway's done good for us. He is an extremely intellengent man. And his secretary Luann, is so sweet and helpful, she has done a lot for me in medical situations. I highly reccommend him!

Dr. Loewy is everything I sought in a general practitioner and a true partner in making healthcare decisions. He spends the time to learn what he needs to and makes sound judgments.

There's a lot of bruised buttocks in the FHM office today, thanks to four days of falling down mountains at Austria's Snowbombing 2014 with the guys at Superdry. Was it worth the pain? Too right it was. Here's what we learned…
Snowboarding dudes love being naked in the mountains. Especially this guy, who is about to show thousands of people how small his trouser trumpet and drums can get…
When they finally put some clothes on, they look like this.
We can now tick 'crowd surf in an igloo while listening to legendary DJ Carl Cox' off our bucket list.
Swearing in German really upsets Austrian taxi drivers. Screaming 'Scheisse!" as they go around a corner at 60mph next to a sheer drop down a cliff will make them tell you to shut up angrily as you cling on for dear life.
When The Prodigy demand a load of Moet champagne to be taxi'd up a valley to arrive at their hotel room in the early hours of the morning, they get it.
Travelling on the Superdry private jet made us feel like Lil Wayne.
Snowboarding girls look a lot better in helmets than we do.
In fact, they look a lot better than we do in anything.
Snow in Mayrhofen, where Snowbombing takes place, is created by mad scientists and melts at 12 degrees. It means it's a perfect place to pick up a cheap, back-end of the season week on your snowboard.
Radio 1's B.Traits is the prettiest lady to ever grace the airwaves. What's more, she's freaking awesome on a pair of skis.
Any beer looks amazing when you mix it with views like this.
