Sunday Slot 26th July, Somewhere in the Findhorn Foundation
I will be running a short session on ADULT GAMES. Yes, systems thinking and challenging mental models is all the rage in my world view. This session is aimed at playing games to do both those things. It's meant to be a bit of fun with a serious agenda trailing somewhere far behind. It's free, apart from giving your time and the only equipment you need is a short stick between 4 and 6 inches long. As far as I can tell, minimum mobility is required to participate.Time is from one pm for an hour and a bit. All welcome. Iain Findlay
Here's a wee example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joB1_IH_23c
The Blue Economy
Bored with austerity yet? I certainly am. So, let me introduce you, well some of you, to the concept of The Blue Economy. Or rather, how we actually go about moving towards sustainability. Yes, that word that means so much yet about which so little is actually known by so many. Tp paraphrase that bloke that wrote about Zen and motorbikes "there is so much talk about system change and so little understanding". Well, the info is all here now, mostly.
So I may well post rather a lot more about this in the coming weeks so I'm just posting a short intro now. Have a look… is this the kind of thing you would like to see being discussed, practiced and disseminated at TTF? Let us know, suggest other stuff, either that or well, I dunno, switch on some repeats of Strictly Come Something more boring instead.
La Comun Tierra film show at Newbold House
At Half past seven in Newbold House Ryan and Leticia from this initiative in Latin America will be showing a film and discussing their involvement in education, transition and other ecological initiatives. All welcome. Sunday 19th
The TTF Dome and a first blog
To be honest, this post is really an experiment to see how this blog thing works. However, seeing as how someone might actually read it I'm going to give a wee update on how the TTF geodesic dome is getting along. The tomatoes, cucumbers, gherkins, courgettes, peas and basil appear to be loving it. Why the seagulls have stopped sitting on top of it is a mystery but a very welcome one as they were making a bit of a mess on the top. It's in a great spot as the site where the dome sits gets the sun all day, every day, probably even in winter. Who knew seagulls were so clever. Maybe it's too warm for their sensitive backsides, but I doubt this is true because they also float about in the Moray firth and that's pretty nippy even at the best of times. If you are down on the site, feel free to have a look inside. We are having to use containers but it seems to be working well enough. I guess the trick is to make sure the container size suits the plant, the soil is suitable and the plant is getting the micro climate in needs. Container gardening is a great way to grow food if you have a lack of soil, or even a lack of garden and Transition Towns are about increasing the amount of food grown locally. Perhaps we should run a wee course in container gardening. Get in touch if you think this is a good idea. Moray is blessed with many excellent growers and I'm sure we could rope some of them in.
Incidentally, it appears there may be enough kale seeds saved this year to feed all of Moray…
Sewing with Marit
Sewing class with Marit
This Wednesday, 22/4, we have another of our popular sewing classes at TTF.
You may want to repair something, or make something new, an iPad pad to rest your iPad or tablet on? A meditation cushion? A bag? Or something else. Come along and be inspired. Meet new friends, chat and use your hands. We have sewing machines, thread and some fabric. £10 for the session. From 1-4 pm, at TTF at Bogton Road, IV36 3 TW.
A fresh toilet block
What a difference – This week BamNuttal, an engineering company currently working in Forres, gave TTF a facelift!
They give community benefit in places they work and we are the proud recipients of a new toilet block which will ensure that the door no longer blows off when you use the facilities.
They also made a great big additional raised bed by the disabled access on the north side of the building. This will give much needed extra space for vegetables come spring, and it will ensure the path for wheelchair access will not be used as a drive way but will remain useful for its purpose.
As if that was not enough they also brought in a digger to remove a lot of weeds from two areas which will give us additional growing space come spring.
All in all – fantastic work carried out in a blink of an eye.
Transition Town Forres extends a great big THANK You to BamNuttal for this work.
New Directors
At our EGM on Saturday 22/11 we elected to co opt the following new directors:
Kristy Puplett, Deborah Hockney, Jenny Smith, Chas Rodger, Ludwig Appeltans, Celia McKenna & Yvonne Moore.
Welcome to the board of TTF.
We also said good bye to George Goudsmit who has served on the board for exactly three years. Thank you George for your support.

Car boot sales – have been cancelled for a while, which is a shame.
Car boot sales are a good way to bring the local community together, give people the chance to recycle and up cycle some of their "stuff" too. It's a good way to stop things going to landfill too. We hope that they will start again in the not too distant future.
TTF had to make this decision for several factors including safe access for people and giving consideration to local residents. In the meantime, we encourage people to avoid the need for car boot sales in the future by not buying stuff they don't need, or buying good quality "stuff" that will last a long time.
If you need more info about "stuff" then why not have a look at this wee video called "the story of stuff" before going out and buying more of it?
Seed Swap 12 noon -2pm, Sat 5 April
Bring along your extra seeds to swap or share with others. TTF will have some small envelopes available but please bring any of your own to put seeds in. Open packs that have traces of mould or seeds stuck together should be avoided. You can trade seeds, seedlings, plants and garden equipment or you can just come to buy if you don't have anything to trade. If you want to trade in LETS please bring your LETS chequebook.

Airbus and Boeing have given little away about how they would tackle the re-engining of their current single-aisles, beyond the obvious requirements to modify the pylon and wing - and in Boeing's case adjust the landing gear - to accommodate the larger engines with different weight characteristics.
From what Airbus has said about its plans so far, it appears to be aiming to follow the approach Boeing made two decades ago when it brought the first of the CFM International CFM56-powered 737-300s to market - its stated intention is to offer the new variants as an option alongside the current family members.
But beyond the necessary installation changes, what else might the manufacturers do to add longevity to airframes that might have to remain in production for at least a decade or more beyond their service entry five years from now?
Boeing Commercial Airplanes boss Jim Albaugh is wary of modifying the 737 too much if it goes ahead with its proposed re-engined variant. "You've got to watch out for the requirement creep. Our engineers would love to put every bell and whistle on this airplane that they know of, we have to resist that," he says.
Albaugh wants to avoid the temptation to develop the revised edition into the equivalent of a major change to the aircraft, and "we certainly don't want it to become a new airplane".
Airbus's chief salesman John Leahy is convinced that an all-new single-aisle is 15 years away, giving a re-engined A320 that arrives in 2015 a production life of at least a decade, perhaps more. If this is the case, this means potentially the upgraded family could be around for as long as the 737-300/400/500 was before it finally gave way to the 737NG, meaning that the European airframer may be keen to view the project as much more than an interim, or stop-gap development.
That being the case, then it is hard to envisage the engineers in Toulouse, Hamburg, Filton and Madrid not pushing for as much of Albaugh's dreaded "requirement creep" as possible. One could envisage that they would want to address areas such as the flightdeck, cabin and materials using the latest advances developed for the A380 and A350. If the airframer decides to maximise the performance gains that the re-engining could offer, it may also raise operating weights which may require structural and landing gear changes.
Beyond the basic information disclosed by Leahy that the upgrade would be offered on the A319, A320 and A321, and would incorporate engine related wing changes and the new "sharklet" winglets, Airbus declines to discuss the detail of what it is examining. But with Leahy also keen to have the programme "off chocks" by the Farnborough air show in July, we may not have to wait much longer to hear fuller details of Airbus's plans.

Band To Buzz About Winter '14: Snowmine
I was first introduced to the goodness that is Snowmine this past October by fellow BUZZNET blogger Brianna (@gummibearsss1). After listening to their single, "Rome," I knew I had found a new favorite!
Hailing from my neck of the woods in Brooklyn, Snowmine are a treat of ambient psych pop with just enough synth waves to have you floating. They just released their sophomore album, Dialects, last week and I highly suggest giving it a listen!
Stream "Rome" and "Columbus" below:
Dialects is available now HERE.
Check out these other bands & artists to buzz about:
Have any suggestions for Bands To Buzz About this winter? Let me know in the comments below!

A Barista's Crash Course in Steaming Milk
That video is beautiful! As a previous pupil I can tell you--Erin is like The Milk Whisperer. All she has to do is look at the milk and it looks like marshmallow fluff.
Born and raised in Jersey. Barista, cookbook & recipe cataloguer, food blogger, and aspiring librarian.
That video is beautiful! As a previous pupil I can tell you--Erin is like The Milk Whisperer. All she has to do is look at the milk and it looks like marshmallow fluff.
I know that this girl can make the best microfoam the U.S. has ever seen. Erin you make me taste coffee every time I read your writing!
Not to mention my friend Melanie's proposal won. FEAST rocks!
just had one of Jack's cookies. while I couldn't discern coffee as an ingredient I was impressed.. I ate it with a glass of water but sure it would pair well with some coffee. btw, what a steal at $1. it's the same size as Pret's cookie for less than half the price.
They must've just started carrying those chocolate chip cookies @ Joe! I've never had them. Wow. Must try. Actually, must try all of these.
I went back at 4:15 and they had three left. Seemed to be super freshly baked. They're probably gone again though.
I am eating a Pret cookie right now and it is good but needs some more salt. I think the success of this cookie resides on the fact it is in a heated case (though that doesn't explain that it is still good when it cools down after being brought to the SE office). CURSES! What have they done to this cooooooooooookie to make it good. And this thing is 300 calories too. I wish they hadn't told me.
I think someone sabotaged City Bakery! My world is crumbling. But I guess it's time for a new champion. Man. A new Pret just opened up next to one of my offices. Wish I hadn't read this.
There used to be a Hinck's in Ocean Township (Monmouth County) where I grew up, we would get our Thanksgiving turkey from them every year. Now we've probably resorted to Wegmans (less than a quarter mile down the road).
I have a roundup of the best coffee in Manhattan in the works. Be on the lookout in the next couple weeks.
By the way, am I the only one who doesn't think Abraco is god-like?
Though I am sad you won't be in Jersey City, I will DEFINITELY be there opening night.
YES! Clearly I favorite this forever and ever.
I used to ice those cupcakes with an offset spatula. Now they use a piping bag or something like that, makes me so sad. ;)
Favorite flavors: cardamom ginger, peanut butter streak, lavender mascarpone.
Ice cream sandwiches are such an indulgence. They have little croissant-wiches as well with a tiny scoop of ice cream. A nice little treat. If I worked in mornings I would surely make that my breakfast.
@buddha ... My companion had her first ever Vietnamese experience that day. Clearly so glad I took her--and that we found this place, because everything was amazing. The spring rolls were so fresh, and the folks sitting at the table with us (2 people) had 4 orders worth! I've converted her. :) Next time, dessert.
@ravenouscouple .. I like how the filter almost acts like a cross between a pour over filter and a French press, with both the drip and the length of time it takes to drip from the filter... must be why the coffee is so potent!
I love how imperfect the Two Little Red Hens cheesecake looks...never eaten anything that looks like that in my life. and "the Goldilocks of cheesecake"... how could I not want a piece of that right now??
my own roasted sweet potatoes. with chile powder and a shit ton of other spices. SO GOOD.
I also cannot resist an extra hot cortado from Joe the Art of Coffee. Or a chocolate chip cookie from City Bakery dipped in their own hot chocolate.
hooooo boy. that's pretty much my dream meal every day.
Gorgeous, Nick, as usual.
Love those brownies. I had them during opening week. And they were warm and satiating. Along with a glass of milk. Mmmmm.
@Derekh - how have I never been to Bonbonniere!?! wow.
My first experience with coffee was generally the same. Though I inched into the real stuff from International Selects. And Dunkaccinos at Dunkin Donuts. And the 7-11 "French Vanilla." Until one day, probably my first year in college, when all of a sudden, it just tasted right.
We loved Denny's in Jersey too. I was always a little afraid as to what was actually in the coffee though. But it never hurt to throw a little syrup in there from the pancakes..
Side note, here are my favorite Jersey diners.. in case anyone wants to reminisce and get a little bit more Jersey with me.
Broadway Diner, Red Bank
Broadway Diner, Bayonne
Edison Diner
Crystal Diner, Lawrenceville
Mastoris Diner, Bordentown
Princess Maria Diner, Wall Township
I'm so glad to hear about all these diners in NYC that I had no idea about!
@gargupie @rstank: I knew you Queens folk would chime in... I have spent only about two hours in Queens in my life, and half of that at LaGuardia Airport... so I'm glad now I have some reasons to go out there. Makes sense, since most of the diners we're talking about are Greek (or Turkish) owned. Thanks!
@alastor: I agree about usually ordering the same thing, but do you ever find it varies though, depending on the time of day? while I usually am a breakfast person and eat something like a broccoli and cheese omelette, if I'm there for a weekday lunch, I'll probably eat chicken souvlaki. which still pairs excellently with diner coffee, I might add.
I'm glad you said the fries are better than Shake Shack's way down at the bottom of your post. I would've stopped at that point. :)
I find that certification means absolutely nothing these days, given there are much more direct trade relationships going on, which I'd much rather support.. I like knowing there is clear, open communication between coffee farmers and buyers. And this sounds spectacular. No matter what part of the food industry this guy works in, he clearly has passion and wants to bring quality products to his customers! I love it.
I believe the cap was either 6 or 8 ounces. The cup does look pretty big, but I promise it was only and inch and a half high, if that.
As for the other two, these were the exact same things Erin and I thought. We noticed the texture was way off (the bubbles did make me cringe a bit), and when we spooned back the foam it was definitely a latte. Though, I think latte art is very possible in a cappuccino from milk that looks like a big pitcher of marshmallow fluff—and seen it poured beautifully. (White outs are more common, though, if you've got some über foamy milk.)
FYI you really can make a trip to Jersey City to eat dinner. I dare you. Jersey City is as close to Manhattan as Brooklyn. This truck is exactly ONE stop on the PATH train from Manhattan. [I just didn't go tonight because I already had leftovers at home.]
I'm looking for locations in the NYC area that sell baked goods and other desserts that are naturally sweetened and not made with sugar.. whether agave sweetened or what else, I seem to have only found two options so far:
-the agave sesame banana cake at Birdbath
-a bunch of items at Babycakes
I heard Lilac Chocolates sells chocolate without sugar but I'm not sure if they use artificial sweeteners; the website isn't much help.
Where else can I go?
Hello SE readers! I'll be heading out to these amazing West Coast cities this Monday for 10 days... I'd love to hear recommendations for some must-go places. I so far have about 20 recommendations for SF, only a couple for Portland, and a few for Seattle. Obviously I can't go everywhere but I would love your best suggestions–for a mid-twenties budget-conscious Serious Eats intern.
Thank you!

The Acanthus plant is found in the decoration of many ancient cultures;
William Morris used it extensively. The original silk wall-hanging which inspired these kits (now at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London) was designed by Morris in about 1875.
The complexity of this dense, layered, subtly shaded wallpaper required 30 printing blocks and 15 colours, causing each roll to cost 16 shillings (80p sterling) - rather expensive in 1875 ! The original watercolour design is in the Victoria & Albert museum, London.

In the late 1950s, a colleague and I installed a biochemistry lab for the purpose of doing research in brain biochemistry in a building devoted to the teaching of psychiatry. In the same space, another graduate student was building an electronic model of a brain according to a design published (in 1952) by W. Ross Ashby, an English cyberneticist. (Cybernetics is the study of complex systems including computers and brains.) This early electronic "brain" would change its response to a particular input from the operator if the operator "punished" it by activating a specific switch. In this way the output of the machine could be "shaped" (within the limits of its abilities) by how the operator behaved toward it. The machine thus crudely mimicked the formation of a conditional response seen in animals such as Pavlov's dog which learned to salivate at the sound of a bell.
Today, we know far more about brains. In response to this new knowledge Dr. Henry Markram began a project entitled the "Blue Brain Project" in 2005. Using IBM's Blue Gene supercomputer he modeled a small, well known area of the rat's brain. His ultimate goal is to incorporate into his computer-based model everything that is currently known about how our brain is connected and how these connections are altered over time (as a result of experience). The enormity of this task can be appreciated when one realizes that there are between 80 and 120 billion neurons in each of our brains and each of these has hundreds to thousands of synapses (connections) to other neurons. Furthermore, about 60,000 research papers are published each year in the fields relevant to brain functioning, many of which present us with new findings about how the brain functions. Dr. Markram's desire is to be able to model the brain sufficiently well to better understand disorders of the brain and the interactions of drugs upon the brain in the hope that this will lead to more effective treatment of brain diseases.

COLUMBIA CITY — Jeff Ott, owner and operator of Precision Arms Of Indiana, in Columbia City, was the speaker at the Rotary Club meeting Tuesday.
Ott spoke on some of the current issues relative to firearms in the State of Indiana.
"Actually, business is too good right now," he said. The demand far exceeds the supply. And it's a little hard to explain why," he said.
He said it was more complicated than simply attributing it all to recent tragedies.
He equated it to panic buying without thought.
"Interestingly, right now, there is a huge back-order for small, 22 caliber ammunition, not what you'd expect if people were interested in protecting themselves."

Et tu, India?
India's new Finance Minister Chidambaram Palaniappan said the nation's economy will tank if New Delhi does not continue on course with a number of political reforms.
Chidambaram said the pace of reforms will remain "strong and unabated" as he promised a credible plan for the economy going forward, the Economic Times of India reported on Tuesday. Chidambaram was attending an Economic Editors Conference in New Delhi when he made the remarks.
The new FinMin has been at the helm since August, as the country's top leaders try to do more than rearranging the deck chairs on what has become the biggest sinking ship in Asia. At one point this year, an HSBC analyst called India's economy a 'gasping elephant'.
Recent reforms have included changes to foreign direct investment laws in retail companies and airlines. Walmart was one of the first to hop on the bandwagon, partnering with a local firm to build a number of new stores over the next 18 months.
Chidambaram has been praised by investors and the local financial media for reversing a perception of policy paralysis. He said further reforms were essential if the economy was to generate jobs for its large and youthful population. He said that economic growth would likely recover from the fiscal first quarter's low level of 5.5 percent.
"Businesses are in a wait-and-watch mode. I'm confident investments will pick up in the fourth quarter of current financial year," he told the Economic Editors Conference. "We should believe that we have the capacity to overcome any crisis, as we did in 1991, 1997 and 2008."
The government is hoping its recent reform measures will cool ratings agencies concerns about India's budget deficit and avert a ratings cut. India's sovereign debt rating is BBB.
On Tuesday, the International Monetary Fund said that India's economy should grow well over 5 percent next year, but disappoint this year.

CINCINNATTI—Denise Kackoverry enjoyed the classical stories, she said, after viewing Shen Yun Performing Arts International Company at the Aronoff Center for the Arts on Feb. 8.
"I'm surprised, I didn't know what to expect," Ms. Kackoverry said. She owns a small technology company, Critical Networks Group, which serves public sector projects.
New York-based Shen Yun has surprised and touched audiences all over the world. Its three companies have toured over a hundred cities last year, and will likely surpass that number this year.
"I like the change of scenery, I like the dancing, I like the choreography, it was surprising to me, really," Ms. Kackoverry said.
Shen Yun starts with classical Chinese dance—an art form nearly as ancient as the 5,000 year old culture—and ethnic and folk dance, and accentuates the dance with digital backdrops, vocal soloists, and an orchestra that joins East and West, as the company's website explains.
"I lived in Taipei for a little while and I really got a glimpse of Chinese culture, but I've never been to the mainland, so I was anxious to see this," she said.
Shen Yun does not originate from mainland China. In fact, it is not allowed to enter China, given that it aims to revive 5,000 years of divinely inspired culture, a culture all but decimated by the communist regime still in power.
'Gimpse into Chinese history'
Also attending the Friday evening performance was attorney Verno Kreger, who works for Johnson & Johnson, a healthcare company.
"It's very exciting," Mr. Kreger said. He really enjoyed the dancing and costumes.
"The costumes are very colorful, and I liked all the embellishment of their motion with their costumes. So it was very elegant," he said.
Shen Yun's costumes are handmade and audiences typically respond to their pure, vibrant colors and intricate designs.
Mr. Kreger also said the show gave a glimpse into Chinese history, even it's modern history involving the repression of freedom. "It opens our eyes to see that there is this type of conflict in China," he said.
Reporting by Charlie Lu and Sharon Kilarski.
New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has three touring companies that perform simultaneously around the world. For more information, visit ShenYunPerformingArts.org

Activist Post
Sec. of State Hillary Clinton gave a speech to the Community of Democracies in Poland Saturday for the 10th anniversary celebration of the founding of the organization, whose 16 members strive to "forge international consensus on ways to support and promote democracy."
"We must be wary of the steel vise in which governments around the world are slowly crushing civil society and the human spirit," Clinton was quoted in an Associated Press propaganda piece titled Clinton: Activists Being Crushed By 'Steel Vise' Around the World.
"Intolerant governments across the globe are 'slowly crushing' activist and advocacy groups that play an essential role in the development of democracy," she added.
Which "intolerant governments" was she referring too? She named a few of the usual suspects: Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, China, Russia, Zimbabwe, and other countries non-compliant to the globalists' demands. Well, Mrs. Clinton may have left a few countries off the list.
Surely she wasn't referring to the recent tyrannical "steel vise" imposed on peaceful activists at the recent G20/G8 when she said, "Democracies don't fear their own people. They recognize that citizens must be free to come together, to advocate and agitate."
Nor could she possibly have been talking about Israel's deadly "steel vise" of using special forces to attack Gaza Peace Flotilla activists. Apparently the globalists are so terrified of their "own people" that, even in beacons of democracy, they need a billion-dollar security force wherever they travel and elite soldiers to keep the rabble of activists muffled.
In this new world order, citizens are free to "agitate" unless they are against wars, globalism, banking cartels, and rationed health care; while advocating for such evil endeavors as human rights, peace, and social justice. It seems the greatest threat to the activists, who Clinton claims to be speaking for, is the globalist agenda where resources are borderless and democratic governments are rendered irrelevant.
The AP misinformation story said, "Poland was a fitting setting for Clinton's address. The country escaped from decades of totalitarianism in the downfall of the Soviet Union and the collapse of communism." Oh, how triumphant they must feel when their democratically-elected anti-European Union government were all suspiciously killed in the April plane crash.
The style of government makes no difference to the corporate fascist agenda. They figured out a long time ago that it is much easier to colonize the world through debt than through systems of government. In the false democracy of America, the pending bankruptcy of liberty where activists are being criminalized is called the Enemy Belligerent Act and the Cyber Security Act. The "steel vise" isn't coming to America, it is already here.
In a brazenly Orwellian statement released in Washington, President Obama said the United States is concerned about, "the spread of restrictions on civil society, the growing use of law to curb rather than enhance freedom and widespread corruption that is undermining the faith of citizens in their governments," as they move to tax alternative views in America.
Queen globalist Clinton did have one true statement in her speech, but only if she was referring to the United States, Canada, Israel, and other prominent members of the Community of Democracies: "Some of the countries engaging in these behaviors still claim to be democracies."

3M bookshelf game series
The 3M bookshelf game series was a series of board games produced by 3M from 1962 to 1975. These games were marketed towards adults and were designed to fit onto a standard bookshelf. Each game fit into a slip cover that was made to resemble the spine of a hardcover book. 3M's catalog described them as follows: "bookcase games, packaged in attractive leather-like slipcases, make a handsome set of volumes for any bookshelf."
The line consisted both of republished classics such as Go, Chess and Backgammon as well as original games designed by freelancers, such as Acquire and Ploy.
3M relied exclusively on freelance designers for the bookshelf game series. Between 400-600 submissions were received every year by the company. These were screened to find unique and interesting games that were connected to any recent trends or fads. Designers like Alex Randolph and Sid Sackson were largely responsible for shaping the direction of the line towards abstract strategy and economic games.
In 1976, 3M was looking to get out of the board game business and sold their entire line to Avalon Hill, which produced a competing line of bookcase games. Avalon Hill continued to publish the line until 1998, when it was dissolved by its parent company. The Avalon Hill name and properties were subsequently purchased by Hasbro. Some of the bookshelf games, such as Acquire, were obtained by Hasbro in the deal. While Acquire was republished by Hasbro/Avalon Hill in a new format, the company has indicated that they have no plans to publish any of the 3M or Avalon Hill bookshelf games.
Some of the games that were not acquired by Hasbro, such as Facts in Five and Executive Decision have since been published by University Games in a bookshelf format. Like the 3M series, they are designed to mimic the appearance of a large hardcover book, but instead of a slip-case, the games use a magnetic closing flap.
List of games[edit]
The bookshelf games series included the following games,[1] as well as an unpublished chess variant called Mad Mate:[2]

"Lights! Camera! Y.E.S.!" For The Yamaha Extended Service/Graves/Yamaha Team At Mid-Ohio
NEWS July 21, 2012
Photo by Brian J Nelson
Courtesy of Yamaha-Motor:
CYPRESS, Calif. (July 22, 2012) – Ask 19-year-old Cameron Beaubier his secret to winning the last three out of four AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike races, including Sunday's Race 2 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, and he'll tell you that it's not just him or his #6 Yamaha YZF-R6, although they clearly have a lot to do with it.
Cameron and his teammate Tommy Hayden, rider of the #22 Y.E.S./Graves/Yamaha R6, are both quick to tell you that it takes a team to win races and be in the top four in the season points standings in the highly competitive DSB class. Tommy is currently in third, and Cameron has now moved up to fourth in the standings despite missing three races earlier in the season due to injury.
To give you an inside look at that successful team effort, specifically during the Buckeye SuperBike Weekend at Mid-Ohio, take a look at this video:
You'll see Cameron and Tommy in action on the picturesque, undulating 2.4-mile, 15-turn Mid-Ohio road course, and you'll also catch glimpses of some of the people behind the scenes. Dedicated Y.E.S./Graves/Yamaha crew members who give their all to Cameron and Tommy to make sure they're on the best two Daytona SportBikes in the paddock. It's a total team effort, and you'll get a little bit of a sense of that in the video.
Look for more videos to come from both of the Yamaha U.S. Road Racing Teams: Yamaha Extended Service/Graves/Yamaha and Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha.

No cooldown for Hooks fever
Despite those mean-old teachers standing guard over their classrooms and meaner, older bosses overseeing their poor workforce, Whataburger Field was still Whataburger Filled as the Hooks opened their season with an unusual 2:05 p.m. first pitch Thursday.
Twenty minutes before the first pitch, there was a line at the ticket window that ran into the street, and all that was left for the taking was a nice seat in the grass beyond the outfield walls.
Although there were some empty seats that belonged to party-pooper season-ticket holders that don't know how to use a fake cough to get out of work, every reserved seat was sold.
What other sports team in these parts could play a game in the middle of the afternoon on a school day and - without giving away thousands of tickets to schools - draw even close to the 6,803 fans the Hooks had Thursday? Let's not name names, but we all know the answer.
Since that first press conference in front of the rusty old cotton warehouses, the Hooks have been red hot, and judging by the energetic Opening Day crowd, that heat doesn't appear to be cooling.
Day game, night game - doesn't matter, people flock to the stadium. You almost get the feeling these guys could schedule a midnight game in a patch of grass somewhere in Papalote and the fans would create a traffic jam all along 181 trying to get there.
The popularity of the first season wasn't totally unexpected. After all, we have to fess up that we live in a city where people camped out to be among the first in line at the new donut shop a few years ago.
You knew if donuts got us excited, baseball certainly would do the trick. At least for a while.
But honeymoons can be cruel, if only because they're so short.
These days, that donut shop no longer has customers camped outside, and logic says the lines at Whataburger Field would eventually meet the same fate.
So far, that's not the case.
Seventy-one regular season home games into our Hooks' experience and only twice have less than 6,000 fans shown up at the park.
Not only have the fans shown they'll keep spinning the turnstiles, but the Hooks actually have sold more season tickets in Year Two than they did in the inaugural season.
Apparently, baseball has a longer hold of our local citizens than hot donuts.
When it comes to the Hooks, the honeymoon may be over, but the love affair continues.

Oke I dunno where to post a bug related problem to C9 so I'll do it here ... there is a 7 day unique weapon (longsword lvl 42) that u get with Adventurer coins called >Viper Executioner< that I think it's bugged. The damn thing has a 5% change to apply a self debuff on hit that reduces stats (Str/Int/Wis...etc) . I'm not sure how this thing is supposed to work but if it activates when I'm full hp I stay with half of my hp for 10 seconds and 0 mana and after the debuff wares off I remain with 50% hp and 0% mana ... so I'm pretty sure it's a bug...a damn big one ,specially in pvps. Hope it gets fixed before my 7 days of owning the weapon expire :) ... thx in advance.

Maintaining that scarcity is holding back the natural progress brought about by new technology, and it's equivalent in my mind to subsidizing the steam engine industry when demand started to tail off. It's backward-looking and serves the interests of a minority of people at the expense of the majority, and that is unjust and simply wrong.
Please explain how an artificial scarcity of diamonds and oil has been created. AFAIK there is a finite amount of both of these things in the earth's crust.
Putting music (or movies or written stories) on physical media does not create demand. It controls supply - as long as you have enforceable copyright laws - but it does not create demand. Demand is people wanting stuff, which is a different concept entirely. And even if supply of David Byrne CD's is limited to say 20 copies of the CD, there are a range of substitutes available, ranging from other artists' CD's to home made music to non-music leisure activities.
The free market system works for most goods and services because if somebody can produce something cheaper than their competitors they will take business from their competitors. It's not perfect, but it's less imperfect than anything else that's been tried.

Penelope Trunk
|The neutrality of this article is disputed. (April 2015)
|Penelope Trunk
|Adrienne Roston[1]
|Darlington, Wisconsin[2]
|Other names
|Adrienne Greenheart[1]
|Alma mater
|Brandeis University
|Businesswoman, blogger, writer
Penelope Trunk (born Adrienne Roston; legal name Adrienne Greenheart[1]) is an American businesswoman, author, and blogger. Her work focuses on the intersection of work and life. Trunk is the author of the books Brazen Careerist: The New Rules for Success, The New American Dream: A Blueprint for a New Path to Success, and The Power of Mentors: The Guide to Finding and Learning from Your Ideal Mentor.[3][4][5] She blogged at Brazen Careerist before leaving that company. She now runs Quistic,[6] her latest start-up venture—an education company—and maintains an eponymous blog featuring career advice.[7] Trunk wrote a column for the Boston Globe that was syndicated in 200 newspapers across the United States.[2]
Early life[edit]
Trunk grew up in Chicago's northern suburbs before moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a professional beach volleyball player. She is a graduate of Brandeis University.[2] Trunk was a resident of New York City during the September 11 attacks. She moved to Madison, Wisconsin in 2006, before relocating to a farm in Darlington, Wisconsin.[8]
According to Trunk herself, she spent ten years as a marketing executive in the software industry.[5] She also says she started the companies math.com, ECityDeals, and Brazen Careerist[2] but these first two have never been verified. Trunk's decisions about her own career have been written about in Time and The Guardian.[9][10]
In September 2009, Trunk was replaced as CEO of Brazen Careerist. She stated, "When the company was clearly moving too fast for me to keep up as CEO, I badgered another board member to be CEO. He told me a number of reasons why that wouldn't work – he had had two huge exits and he wasn't planning to be CEO again, and another company wanted him to be CEO, and he wants to watch his kids play football. These are all good reasons that I overcame, and I got him to agree to be interim CEO."[11]
Trunk began writing business advice when Fortune magazine published an open call for a woman to write about her own life as an executive and Trunk won the job. She has been a columnist at Business 2.0 magazine, Bankrate.com and Yahoo! Finance.[5]
According to an article by Richard Rierson, "She has a reputation for giving advice that is counter-intuitive but effective, like take long lunches, ignore people who steal your ideas, and stop vying for a promotion."[5] Writing in the New York Times, Marci Alboher called Trunk "one of the most popular career writers around."[12]
An article in CBS News titled "Why You Shouldn't Report Sexual Harassment" sparked outrage among internet commentators when it resurfaced in April 2014.[13] The article, published in May 2011, advocated against reporting sexual harassment in the workplace, calling it an unfortunate but inevitable fact in the careers of women, stating "if you want to have a career of increasing power, you are going to have to keep quiet about the harassment."
Personal life[edit]
In September 2009, Trunk was preparing to have an abortion, but while waiting out a state legal requirement, suffered a miscarriage during a company board meeting. The unusually public approach[14] was covered by numerous news outlets, including The Guardian.[15][16] Trunk has been married once before her current marriage, and has two sons (by her first husband) whom she home-schools and writes about on her education blog.[17][18] Trunk's accounts of physical abuse in the relationship with her boyfriend (current husband) have been criticized on the Jezebel website.[19] Penelope Trunk has diagnosed herself as having Asperger's syndrome.[20][21]

Hey all! My family just booked a trip to Disneyland from January 2nd - 4th (all full days), and I'll most likely buy myself a single-day, single park ticket for the night we get there (January 1st).
So my question is, is 3 1/2 days in the park enough for someone who adores Disneyland?
Some info
• I only get 2, single-day trips per year. This will be my first full trip with all of my family since 2008 at Disneyland.
• My family enjoys taking in all the details, and strolling around rather than running to attractions back-to-back.
• We all want to do things we never do (i.e. Tom Sawyer's Island, Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, Fantasmic).
Do you think we should add another day to the trip?
Thanks for any input!

Earl Kuhn's work uses scenes of contemporary ranch cowboys, their horses, livestock and landscapes surrounding them as his subject matter. Two key components characteristic of his watercolors are the details he paints in the animals and his use of light.
Earl was recently selected as the "2013 Signature Artist for the 'America's Horse in Art' Show" in Amarillo, Texas. His works are in major Western art shows throughout the United States and have been featured on the El Paso Southwestern Roundup Rodeo program, Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo poster, Working Ranch Cowboys Association's World Championship Ranch Rodeo program, World Paint Horse Show poster and program cover. He was selected to do the painting for the Kansas Livestock Association's 100th Anniversary Commemorative Limited Edition print. Earl also does commission paintings throughout the year.
Earl's works have been featured in Western Horseman, Paint Horse Journal, America's Horse and Inform Art and appeared on many magazine covers, including America's Horse, The Cowboy, Western Horseman, Paint Horse Journal, Kansas Horseman and SuperLooper.
Earl was inducted to the 2010 Kansas Cowboy Hall of Fame at Boot Hill, Dodge City, Kansas.
