The Real Reason Why Snapchat Turned Down That $3 Billion Deal
Would have the guts to turn down a multi-billion-dollar deal that netted you a personal fortune of $750 million dollars? We're not sure we could say no (hello, early retirement), but that's exactly what Evan Spiegel, the cofounder and CEO of Snapchat, did.
Last year, Spiegel stunned the tech community — and the world at large — by refusing a $3 billion offer from Facebook. Seeing as Snapchat, while a huge hit with the world's teen population, hasn't actually made any money yet, it seemed like a surprising outcome.
But, not for Spiegel. In a cover story with Forbes the 23-year-old explains: "There are very few people in the world who get to build a business like this…I think trading that for some short-term gain isn't very interesting." And, it seems the situation may have had a bit of a David and Goliath-story to it. Spiegel reveals that in 2012, when Mark Zuckerberg first started pursuing Snapchat, he tried to unnerve them by revealing Facebook's plans to launch its identical poke app a few days later. "It was basically like, 'We're going to crush you,'" says Spiegel.
Flash forward to January 2014, and the Snapchat team have raised another $50 million to take the company's value to a reported $2 billion, not to mention the Facebook's poke app hasn't been quite the success it was expected to be. And, while the jury is still out on the real impact Snapchat will make on the tech landscape, we're looking forward to the next chapter in this Silicon Valley drama. (Mashable)

From the Top: Transition Bikes
Any chance of a new DH bike? I had a 450 and now have a 500, but really the 500 is 90% the same as the 450 so it's starting to show its age, especially the geometry (bigger than XL please!) I follow Tahnee's racing too - she's going great and a really good ambassador for you. Cheers

Cannondale British Enduro Series: Afan, Round Three 2016 - Video
@FilmSmith: Hey man, I think you read my comment slightly wrong. "....I think it needs a DIFFERENT style and approach to how you might cut a DH video" I don't know how to do it different, that's the challenge I guess. I think most Enduro race video's I've seen try to emulate the DH videos - which doesn't work for exactly the reasons you state. My personal preference for the Enduro race vids I have liked are the diary style ones that follow a single rider. It gives me a closer connection to the experience of the event. I guess it means I can empathise better, so its more interesting

Cannondale British Enduro Series: Afan, Round Three 2016 - Video
I'm not a photographer of any kind, but can I just offer some constructive criticism in regards to the main video, from an outsider's pov. Enduro is a participation sport, not really a spectator sport (which straight away makes it difficult to get interesting footage), so I think it needs a different style and approach to how you might cut a DH video. Filming enduro race podiums and interviews with people we're not likely to have heard of isn't interesting (to me anyway). I want to see the track and people riding it. The conditions; the turns; the struggle; the riders; the vibe of the "event"; the bits that separate the men from the boys; the fun; the gear... etc. I hope these comments are received in the respect they are intended. Cheers

'MAD MEN' vs. REALITY: Compare Don Draper's Ads With Those That Actually Ran In The 1960s
Published 10:18 am, Sunday, April 27, 2014
One of the most exciting things about "Mad Men" is seeing the creative process Don Draper and his team go through to come up with the ad campaigns that determine the very fate of Sterling Cooper & Partners.
Throughout the show's six seasons, these campaigns have featured major brands like Playtex and American Airlines.
Despite the best efforts of Don Draper, Peggy Olson, and the rest of the team, however, their ads are often not much better than the ads their fictional clients were running in real life during the '60s. Sometimes, in fact, Sterling Cooper's ads were much worse.
Amazon is bringing back 'Prime Day,' a day of shopping that promises special deals every 5 minutes (AMZN)
This graphic shows just how widespread meth is in the United States
Donald Trump just gave a bizarre response to how he'll court female voters
JPMorgan is revolutionizing the way Wall Street banks work with tech startups
Satya Nadella cannot imagine the world without this one Microsoft product
Take a look and judge for yourself ...
Don Draper's Season 1 pitch for the Kodak Carousel remains one of the show's most poignant moments.
The real first ad for the Carousel, which debuted in 1962, wasn't as high-minded as Draper's, but it did explain what the product does.
Sterling Cooper's ad for Samsonite plays on the fact that nobody likes an empty suitcase.

Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading?, our weekly look at the books, comics and what have you that the Robot 6 crew have been perusing of late. Today we welcome our special guest Steven Sanders, artist of such comics as Wolverine and the X-Men, Wolverine, S.W.O.R.D, Our Love is Real, The Five Fists of Science and more. He's currently using Kickstarter to raise funds for a "Creative Commons art book" called Symbiosis.
"Symbiosis is a world-building art book that tells the story of a woman's travels through a world where the symbiotic relationship that we have with technology is made much more visceral," the Kickstarter page reads. "All sources of power are generated by bio-etheric engines, with which the operators share a direct mental link. The story-telling is loose and mostly visual. It will be told with art that uses a variety of media and formats: fully painted, colored line art, black-and-white line art, and comic art. What you do with this story is up to you. Enjoy it on its own merits, or take it and spin it off into any of a million different directions."

7 ways big data is helping police manage confidential informants
Several high-profile civil cases and consent decrees have forced agencies to modernize the way they handle their confidential informants
In his 25 years as a captain with the New Jersey State Police, Steve Serrao had extensive dealings with confidential informants, including cultivating and working them as an intelligence officer, protecting them as they became official government witnesses, and even relocating them after they'd testified for the State.
At one point in his career, Serrao was involved in managing the confidential informant program for the NJSP Intelligence Bureau (he now serves as a law enforcement consultant at SAS, a leading analytics software and services provider).
"We had several thousand documented informants in our files," Serrao explained, "of which roughly 400 were being contacted and paid or remunerated in some way every day. We used a very crude paper-based system to manage the informant contacts and a slightly less crude Excel spreadsheet to manage payments made to them."
Needless to say, the system was vulnerable to mistakes and mismanagement. Further, it provided little (if any) capacity for measuring an informant's or a handler's risk and/or efficacy.
The International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysts hosts a LinkedIn group called "Law enforcement confidential informants and intelligence," in which a discussion formed about
the appropriate, safe, and effective use of confidential informants in law enforcement. In that dialogue, Serrao noticed what he believes to be several important issues:
• "Effectiveness will be highly dependent on the handler"
• '…undercover ops in policing….appears that it's a very mixed bag, largely due to training and the inherent risks associated with law enforcement…"
• "…Law enforcement officer(s) appear to receive little, if any training in most departments"
• "…trust between an operative and their handler is of prime importance to the success of missions, a trust that should never be betrayed…"
• "…Effectiveness can be measured in many ways and I would posit that credible, actionable intelligence is the pinnacle of such effectiveness…"
"The one thing I saw no mention of is the use of modern sophisticated technology to deal with most — if not all — of those issues," Serrao explained.
"Maybe that's because a simple search of the Internet reveals only a handful of — and I'm being kind, because there are actually only two — companies providing technology solutions that manage the entire lifecycle of confidential informants."
Serrao travels around the world on behalf of SAS — even as he's supporting current customers, he's always seeking new ones — and he lamented that when he visits agencies not yet in the SAS client roster, he often finds the usual suspects of index cards, file folders and some sort of home-grown Excel spreadsheet or (gasp!) Access database.
"I'm constantly amazed to find that many police departments are still using rudimentary processes to manage their confidential informants. Recently, I was shocked to hear a ranking member of a large metropolitan police force tell me that there was no need to use technology to manage informants — 'the less information the better'," Serrao was told. "That might be the most naïve approach I've ever heard about managing this inherently risky part of policing."
Serrao believes two questions must be asked and answered:
1. How much is the department willing to pay out in lawsuits when things go wrong?
2. How many cops need to be indicted before a proactive approach is taken to deal with the problem?
"Just look at the multi-million dollar payouts reported in the media over the past few years or the several recent high-profile civil cases and consent decrees forcing agencies to modernize the way they handle informants," Serrao said.
"Compare that against the relatively small amount of money your agency could pay upfront to acquire a comprehensive system that reduces risk and provides operational and managerial oversight of your confidential informant program. Informants will still give you problems, but you will be able to reduce risk and minimize lawsuits by demonstrating that you had a program in place to avoid, detect and prevent illegal and/or aberrant behavior by your officers and informants."
Serrao's advice to law enforcement leadership is to look at the department's policy regarding confidential informants, look at their CALEA certification, and then look at the Internet for companies providing solutions.
"You will most likely learn that your policy may be outdated, your CALEA certification may be in jeopardy and your choices for a solution are very limited," Serrao quipped.
Serrao thinks his company has the ability to help agencies resolve those issues. He suggests that when looking at SAS and other solutions out there addressing the management and analytics of confidential informants, police leaders should consider seven key components:
1. Security, both of information and access
2. Entity deconfliction and identity disambiguation
3. Management of contacts
4. Management of payments
5. Ability to Activate, deactivate and render informants undesirable
6. Ability to change handler information
7. Ability to run across your agencies wide area network
"Agencies that follow this path will reduce risk and, for the first time, be able to measure the results of their confidential informant program," Serrao concluded.

Southern California 'Let Us Sing Thanksgiving' attracts more than 350
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. — The Interfaith Council of Greater Rancho Santa Margarita recently hosted its annual "Let Us Sing Thanksgiving" event at San Francisco Solano Catholic Church in Southern California and one of the musical groups included area Mormon children.
The crowd was an enthusiastic one filled with many young faces and a little more noise than usual because this year the music was focused on the children. As in previous years, faith groups would present very short sermons followed by a musical number by members of their congregations. This year the Thanksgiving theme was "Giving thanks for freedom and remembering those who served."
The event started with all faiths in the audience singing "America the Beautiful" followed by a sermon by Rev. John Embree of Community Lutheran and a solo by a young Lutheran, Jason Leland. The St. John's Middle School Choir, Light of Unity Singers, LDS Santa Margarita Children's Choir and San Francisco Children's Choir were all part of the children's music.
Margie Dayley, director of the LDS children's choir, said, "When we told the parents that the children had this opportunity to sing at this interfaith event, they were really excited. The children loved singing the melody of America's patriotic hymns."
In his sermon, Rev. Canon John Taylor of St. John's Episcopal, spoke about the importance of uniting together as Americans even though we might not agree on the results of the recent election.
"Unity is what the interfaith council is all about. We want to celebrate our similarities and differences while promoting harmony and unity and fostering greater understandings between faiths" said Dave Daly, Santa Margarita California Stake interfaith director for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
As in previous years, the end of the program included singing "Let There Be Peace on Earth," but this year the combined children's choirs from all faiths sang the first verse followed by the entire audience joining in on the second verse.
"Bringing the children seemed to really grow our audience," said Deacon Carol Swanson of San Francisco Solano Catholic Church. "I don't think we have ever had such a large crowd."
Karen Lake lives in Southern California and has served as media director for the Santa Margarita Stake for more than four years. When she isn't writing she is either performing or teaching voice lessons.

Whats less fun than getting stuck in a nasty traffic jam? Getting cooked in your car on a hot day.
Summer's right around the corner and your vehicle's air conditioning system will soon be under serious strain.
If your A/C isn't as frosty as it used to be, but it's still blowing, the system may need to be recharged. Manufacturers used to use a type of refrigerant known as Freon. Now, manufacturers use R-134a to keep things cold in the cabin.
Working on a vehicles air conditioning system is about as much fun as sticking your hand in a blender. Twice.
Unless you are skilled in vehicle maintenance, its safest to take the job to a professional.
An AC compressor is usually driven by your vehicle's serpentine belt, and as it spins, it pressurizes the system's refrigerant. It's this change in pressure that cools the air coming into your cabin. The best way to keep your compressor from failing is to have your A/C system serviced once a year.
If your compressor needs replacement, most responsible shops will recommend swapping out a number of peripheral components at the same time.
Bernards, which has been in business since 1925, services our clients foreign, domestic, hybrid and electric cars, trucks, vans and motorcycles. We offer free pickup and delivery for our customers convenience.
Plan ahead and stay cool this season!

Summer's imminent arrival means your vehicle's air conditioning system will soon be under serious strain.
If your A/C isn't as frosty as it used to be, but it's still blowing cold, the system may need to be recharged.
Manufacturers used to use a type of refrigerant known as R-12, or Freon, until researchers found it caused ozone depletion. As such, it's illegal to use Freon in vehicles built after 1994. Now, manufacturers use R-134a to keep things cold in the cabin.

Why? The easy answer is working on an air conditioning system is about as fun as sticking your hand in a blender. Twice.
To avoid draining your refrigerant, removing your compressor, installing a new unit and refilling the system with new cool stuff only to have you come back in a week and say it's still not cold enough it makes sense to replace the necessary components.

As the inspirational saying goes, Live less out of habit and more out of intent.
While its true that starting a fitness routine can be difficult, I offer the following tips to get you in the gym door and on the road to good health.
Assessment New SNAP Fitness clients receive a free jump-start session, including consultation with a trainer. The assessment determines the clients baseline, helps us guide their first steps, and is an opportunity to discuss adding personal training.
Cardio The national recommendation for exercise for all ages and fitness levels is to get to the gym at least three days per week, and to do a minimum of 30 minutes of cardio per visit. Working out with a friend will make it more fun, help you feel more accountable, help you stay at the gym for more months and achieve a higher level of success.
Strength training is key to replacing fat with muscle, becoming leaner, stronger and improving balance. Do two to three sessions of strength training per week.
Nutritional guidelines Instead of eating three large meals per day, eat five to six small meals. This will fuel your energy throughout the day and avoid post-meal sluggishness. Also drink 96 ounces of water daily.
Online help SNAP has a complete online nutritional program and training center. Free with membership, it provides a personalized workout plan, sample menus and a complete library of instruction videos.

Strength training is an essential part of an exercise program, even for someone who hasnt been active in a while.
Lifting weights, using weight machines and doing core work increases muscle mass and bone density.
As we age, our muscles deteriorate (called sarcopenia) and bone density decreases.
Research shows that seniors are more susceptible to bone breakage that younger adults. As people age, their metabolism slows down. We are seeing more and more seniors joining gyms.
If we take the average adult between the ages of 40 and 50 and do basic strength-training three to four times per week for 90 days, the outcome can be life-changing.
Heres a myth-buster: Muscle does NOT weigh more than fat! A pound is a pound.
Muscle is, however, more dense than body fat and takes up less area than fat. If you were to start an exercise program complete with strength training, you would increase your lean body mass and decrease body fat.
The body takes up less space and metabolism speeds up, resulting in a higher BMR (base metabolic rate, the amount of daily caloric intake needed to maintain LBM and weight.) This reverses sarcopenia and increases bone density.
Not everyone walks into a gym and knows exactly what to do. Snap gives new members an opportunity to meet with a Certified Personal Trainer, who assesses their body and their goals.
Lets get started.

Brought to you by John Sciarra, Bernard's Garage - AUTO MAINTENANCE INSIDER
Regular maintenance on your car is, quite simply, a good investment.
For example, when you bring your car in for a timing belt typically needed at 90,000 to 100,000 miles it costs in the range of $400 to $500. But if it breaks, it might be $1,800 to $2,000.
At our shop, when we do it, we do it right. With the timing belt, we also replace the timing belt tensioner, idler pulleys, camshaft seals, water pump and coolant.
Mileage interval maintenance, which is only done by shops, should be done at 30,000, 60,000 and 90,000 miles.
The ideal scenario is to get the car into the shop about three times per year for inspections, which will find things like rodent damage, which is more common than you might think. Its mainly squirrels in this area.
An inspection will also uncover leaking coolant or oil, as well as plugged-up air filters. Once a year, you should get a brake inspection.
We do complete automotive repair, including pre-purchase inspections for $150. Thats a comprehensive inspection, which can detect unforeseen problems and save you from buying a compromised vehicle.
Our average cost for an oil change is $38; $58 for a brake inspection.
Its a small investment. We do it properly and can save you a lot of trouble and expense down the road.

Pioneers bow out at Grant
Coach Newkirk expects continued improvement in 2013-14
The upstart Oregon City Pioneers ran into the real deal in Class 6A powerhouse Grant in last weeks first round of the Class 6A state high school boys basketball playoffs, and the result was a 67-39 loss.
The Generals entered the Feb. 26 contest ranked fourth in the OSAA power rankings and averaging better than 74 points an outing. They boasted a 19-4 record, their only losses coming in close games with top-ranked Lake Oswego (63-57), seventh-ranked Sheldon (81-78), their cross-town rival Lincoln (76-57) and Washington state power Henry Foss (69-61).
Oregon City (12-13 overall, 1-9 in the Three Rivers League), under first-year head coach Aaron Newkirk, was ranked 32nd, making the contest a mismatch from the outset.
The Generals wasted no time taking charge, going on an 11-0 run en route to a 17-4 first-quarter advantage.
Theyre a very good team, Newkirk said. They beat West Linn early in the season.... They beat us with their athleticism....
Newkirk said that the Generals dominated the backboards and set the game at a faster tempo than he would have liked.
The tempo was not in our favor and they out-rebounded us 22-10 in the first half, Newkirk said.
Bryce Canda, a 6-4 senior guard, headed the onslaught for the Generals, scoring 17 points and pounding the backboards for 18 rebounds.
Deiondre Bird, a 6-6 junior wing, and 6-1 senior wing Julian Hanlon-Austin added 12 and 11 points respectively, as ten Grant players contributed points to the winning tally.
Junior post Brad Martin (13 points, 9 rebounds) was the only Oregon City player in double digits in scoring.
The Generals went on to beat 13th-ranked Roseburg 48-36 in Fridays second round of the Class 6A playoffs, earning a berth in the eight-team Class 6A State Tournament. They meet West Linn today at 3:15 p.m. in the quarterfinals.
Looking back on the past season, Newkirk said, Were real proud of our seniors. They won more games this year than the seniors did in the last two seasons combined.
The Pioneers will lose five seniors to graduation Valentino Polk, Nolan Muckenthaler, Cody Hole, Dominik Mackinnon and T.T. Munoz.
Polk, Muckenthaler and Hole averaged scoring 25 points between them. Polk (10 points a game, 3 assists) was the teams leading scorer.
But the cupboard is not left bare.
We had seven players play starting minutes and four of them were underclassmen Austin DeWitz, Hunter Knighton, Brad Martin and Trevon Bradford, Newkirk said. Another underclassman, Ryan Markuson, played significant minutes.
Well be younger [next year], but well be more experienced, and well be better...., Newkirk said. Tino [Polk] was the most points we had coming back from the previous season, at 5 points a game. Hunter averaged 9 points this year. Brad averaged 8 points, and he was our leading rebounder. Trevon averaged 6 points....
The Pioneers fortunes will be bolstered next season by the addition of several talented players up from successful jayvee and freshmen teams.
Oregon City jayvees went 15-8 over the past season, while the Pioneer freshmen went 17-5.
The freshmen did it without their three best players, Newkirk said. They are one of the best groups Ive seen since Ive been here.
Bradford, a 5-9 freshman guard, played varsity all season. Briggs Young, another 5-9 freshman, played point guard on the jayvee team; Skyler Canty, a 6-3 freshman wing, also played for the jayvee.
Newkirk said that 5-9 guard Tyler Sheldon scored 27 points in an Oregon City freshmen upset of Lake Oswego.
Newkirk said the Pioneers will hold a golf tournament at Stone Creek Golf Club on May 18 as their major fundraiser.
Were going to travel to Alaska for a tournament right after Christmas, and were going to California this summer...., Newkirk observed.

EM1 First time out, impressions. (Short)
May 3, 2014
First I haven't had this camera long but so far I am not too happy. I brought it to a company picnic today and figured I'd play around with it a bit. Every single one of my pictures seems to have a lot of noise and many have excessive purple fringing... I was shooting with iso 200 and various stops, raw images with a natural color setting.
So far I'm thinking my e520 delivered sharper less problematic images.
I was shooting using the 50mm f2 prime.
I can also say I do not like the electronic viewfinder nearly as much as the regular one on the e520, it is harder to see if your target is in focus (Granted I still have to look-up how to do the peep check while using this, if that is even an option).

The (Delicious) Foods That Actually Cause Stress
Photographed by Erin Phraner.
The weekends are an especially difficult time to stay healthy. We typically spend our two-day break from the daily grind indulging in brunches and dinners out with friends — not to mention a few cocktails. And, while all of these activities are intended to relax us, they may actually be causing more tension in our lives.
Obviously, stress takes a toll on your mental health: We find it difficult to concentrate and can't seem to shake the feeling of angst in our chests. But, it can also have negative impact on your physical health, causing weight gain and high blood pressure.
So, which foods are the worst offenders? Coffee, for starters. We live for our Sunday-morning lattes, but too much caffeine can cause anxiety. And, for all you game-day enthusiasts, fried foods and booze can be just as bad (maybe worse?). Alcohol is especially tough — it increases cortisol, the stress hormone in your body. That means, despite the relaxed feeling you'll get after a couple of beers — and your team's winning touchdown — your body will react quite differently.
Check out the full list of stress-inducing snacks. We apologize if it ruins your weekend meal plan, but your body will certainly thank you in the long run. (HuffPost)

When you're a shearer and you develop cataracts in both eyes, you have a problem.
Fortunately for Urenui-based shearing legend, Bill Birdsall, those cataracts have surfaced later in life and towards the end of his 50-year career. Now 67, he retired in February.
While he has tried his hand at a range of farming codes including dairying, running dry stock and pigs, Bill has always used his skills as a shearer to underpin the profitability of whatever form of farming he might have been engaged in at the time.
An open-grade shearer with a top tally of 427 adult sheep in a nine hour shearing day, Bill has been a Wools of NZ shearing instructor at both the learner and advanced levels, office-bound organiser of those courses ("I hated this job") and for the last decade, a company representative for Swiss-based Heiniger Shearing Equipment.
While Bill has competed against the best in the business on the competition shearing circuit, including the Golden Shears (Masterton), New Zealand shears (Te Kuiti) and the Taranaki Shears, it has been teaching young people the rudiments of shearing which was his forte and which has given him most satisfaction.
"I love to help the young guys," he says.
"Running learner courses at Ruatoria, not too long after a series of infamous arsons in that remote East Coast settlement, would have been one of my more interesting assignments. I had never previously seen so many full-faced tattoos.
"I went up there originally with Robin Middleton, who was the senior instructor based in Palmerston North. He advised that two other senior shearing instructors were not considered suitable for posting to Ruatoria because they were too regimental.
"He said when I started my learner course, there would be 15 boys start on the Monday, and by Wednesday, probably half of those 15 would be different individuals.
"The trainee shearers sort of made their own rules, but it paid to go with the flow. Those on the course were predominantly Maori. There was a great deal of raw talent - many of these boys were naturally good shearers - but they would probably never shear outside of their own area."
On one occasion, a number of the young men on his learners' course invited Bill to join them for a drink at a local hotel.
"I agreed to have a couple of beers and was walking towards the bar to get a handle, and this full faced tattooed fellow was walking back from the bar towards me.
"I just sort of glanced at him, as you do, and he asked me what I was looking at. I told him that I was just going up to get a beer and it was obvious that he was looking for a scrap. I got my drink, returned to the table, but he walked up beside me and began mouthing off at me.
"Those boys who were on the course, gathered around me and in no uncertain terms told the fellow to bugger off. Within two minutes he was on the floor scrapping with someone else.
"A few of the boys who started off in Ruatoria, later went on to have good careers, but predominantly, they would never leave the area. The way of life up there is pretty laid back.
"Before I went to Ruatoria, I had a lot of preconceived ideas about what it would be like. However, these boys were tremendous and would bend over backwards to help you.
"The Rastafarians, who were blamed for causing most of the trouble, didn't go on the shearing courses."
Bill was based in Palmerston North for four years, and towards the end of his time there, was promoted from senior shearing instructor to "territory manager".
The title sounded more impressive than the reality of the job, for what he effectively became, he says, was an "office boy".
"Provincial instructors would run the shearing courses and we would perhaps help them start and finish these. During this time we started with AgITO. We were not getting funding from the Wool Board then to run the courses.
"To get government funding we had to abide by a lot of rules and would spend many hours down at the head office in Wellington going through these manuals.
"I then went to Taupo for 18 months. My territory went from Taupo to Taranaki and north."
Organising and running courses for those who wanted to learn to shear, was one aspect of Bill's work. Honing the skills of experienced shearers - perfecting techniques and eliminating any faults they might have developed - was the other.
From the shearer's point of view, there was one problem with these advanced courses, however. Not only were the senior shearers required to pay $300 for the three-day course, they stood to forfeit $500 to $600 in lost earnings every day they attended.
He found a way around this by visiting the advanced shearers on the job, in the woolsheds in which they were working.
However good the shearer, he says, no-one shears every sheep perfectly, every time.
Taranaki's Roger Cox, he says, came close, as does Paul Avery (Toko) and David Fagan (Te Kuiti).
"The closest shearer I know to achieve near perfection was Keith Wilson, who was from Thames originally. I had the privilege of shearing with him in Australia.
"He shore 300 merino wethers a day, just strolling in and out of the pen. He has made the finals at the Golden Shears and the New Zealand Championships at Te Kuiti without winning one. He is a shearer with tremendous natural ability.
"When I shore with him, he had shorn 800 lambs in a day on 15 occasions, and you have to be good to do that.
"Shed shearing is totally different to competition shearing and yet to be the top man in any competition you have to be able to do it in the shed day in and day out. That's why Paul Avery (Toko) has always been so good. His quality in the shed is as good as his quality in competition shearing."
Even in a basic skill such as shearing sheep, technology and innovation have a role to play.
The Bowen style of shearing, which revolutionised the shearing industry when Godfrey Bowen set a new world record by shearing 456 adult sheep at Opiki in the Manawatu, in 1953, has been superseded.
The 41 blows it once required to part a sheep from its fleece, has been reduced to around 34 blows, says Bill. But don't take it from that, he says, that the shearer putting in the least number of blows, will win in competition over a shearer adhering to the Bowen style.
"The shearer who has the minimum number of blows is likely to leave the odd ridge, and will lose on the quality of the job," he says.
Towards the end of his time as a company representative with Heiniger, the Swiss-based company shouted Bill and his wife, Julie, a trip to Europe. He loved Switzerland and only wishes he had spent more time there. It's sometimes hard to impress a veteran shearer, however, and Venice didn't get such a good review.
"You don't go to Italy without going to Venice. I'm pleased that I went, but I would never go back again. It looks like the Waitara River in flood."

Kansas Action for Children files lawsuit against Attorney General Derek Schmidt over settlement records
smileydog, just because the Louisiana Budget Project may have a relationship with Soros, doesn't mean a thing here in Kansas. Unless you can prove a direct connection, you are just spreading lies.

Editorial: Clueless
This idea must be REALLY bad, if conservatives are comparing it to Pelosi's action. :-> Brownback is desperate for money, because of the ill-conceived income tax reduction plan passed last year. He knew from the outset that it would cause revenues to drop below what is safe to keep the Kansas economy going. The Credit bonding companies are poised to lower our credit rating, causing bond rates to increase. It's not only roads that are being affected here, it is infrastructure. Roads, bridges, utilities, everything to keep the flow of traffic going smoothly, will be compromised by the raiding of these funds, especially if Brownback gets control of KTA. He's already bled the KDOT funds, so much so, that promised projects may not come to fruition, affecting economic development in the project's county.
I hope those that voted for Sam, regret their decision, especially now that he has revealed his megalomaniacal tendencies. Power corrupts, and the absolute power that Sam wants, corrupts absolutely.
