For Fans of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine
From Telluride to Winfield, there are lots of great Bluegrass Festivals. We want to collect a list of the very best. What are your favorite festivals and why?

Pierre - Thanks for letting us know about the festivals in France!
IBMA annual meeting in Raleigh, NC
Houstenfest in Galax Va first weekend in May
Wayne Henderson's guitar contest, Grayson Highlands State Park, Va - 3rd Saturday in June, rain or shine
Winfield! It's the Woodstock of Bluegrass festivals. Why? Because of the jamming in the campgrounds at night. Especially in the Pecan Grove. It get's a little wild but not too much. To walk the camp grounds with a guitar or banjo, looking for a welcoming campfire to sit and jam, and making new friends... It's the best. But I guess I'm biased. I live in Winfield.
We love Winfield and will be there in September! Look for the Flatpicking Guitar Magazine booth.
Sorry, Mondy. I didn't realize who you were. I work at the Crafts check-in booth. I guess I've dealt more with Dan at the festival. Come by and say hello. I'm usually guarding the prize instruments. And by the way, I have learned more from Flatpicking Essentials Vol. 1 than from all my other guitar publications combined and I own quite a few. I plan on getting Vol. 2 & 3 this year.

Before Monday's game I had written an article previewing Game 4. It listed the keys to success for each team (http://isportsweb.com/2013/06/19/blackhawks-vs-bruins-game-4-preview/). Let's check out how each team did on their respective checklists, and what they can improve on for the remainder of the series.
Chicago's checklist
- Increase the tempo of the game. Chicago did a good job on using their quickness to get around Boston's big defensemen. Look for Chicago to make drastic changes to their breakout (which was very poor) before Game 5.
- Stay disciplined. The special teams of Chicago came in clutch in Game 4, scoring their first powerplay goal of the series as well as a shorthanded goal. Aside from that, there are still changes needed to be made in order to stay out of the penalty box for the remainder of the series.
- Beat Tuukka Rask. This won the game for the Blackhawks. In order to beat Rask, they needed to make Rask move by means of rebounds and quick shots off of passes. They succeeded in making Rask move, and because of this they were able to put the puck in the back of the net six times.
For Game 5, expect Chicago to keep up the high tempo, forcing Boston to adapt to that style of hockey. As for Crawford, the Blackhawks left him hanging on a few goals, but he will need a better performance for the remainder of the playoffs in order to win the cup, as well as be considered a top goalie for Team Canada.
Boston's checklist
- Force the Blackhawks skaters to the outside. The Bruins are going to need to do a better job of keeping the Blackhawks away from the front of the net to avoid close rebounds and screens/tips on shots from the point. A key player for this is Chara. Chara (who had a plus/minus of -3) needs to have a game that reminds the Blackhawks why they should be afraid of him.
- Out-work the Blackhawks. The Bruins still were able to be dominant along the boards of their offensive zone. They were also able to create several turnovers on Chicago's breakouts out of Chicago's own zone. They will need to focus on outworking the Blackhawks in their defensive zone better. This includes keeping Chicago players away from the front of the net.
The pressure is now on Boston. As we saw a different Blackhawks team between Game 3 and Game 4, expect a different Bruins team in Game 5 compared to what we saw in Game 4. The game could have been a lot worse for Boston too if it had not been for a few lucky goals on Crawford. The Bruins will need to go back to beating the Blackhawks physically in order to continue to have success for the remainder of this series.
I have the Blackhawks and Bruins each winning their next home games, with Boston's physical dominance leading them to a Stanley Cup victory in Game 7 on the road over a weakened Blackhawks team.

Key points of Greek reform plans
Greece has submitted a 13-page set of proposals to its European creditors.
The plan is intended to act as a foundation to free up a new three-year, 53.5 billion euro bailout package to save the nation from bankruptcy.
Here are the main points of the package that the Greek parliament will debate today.
:: Budget targets
The Greek government is pledging to stick to primary surplus targets - meaning that the government is earning more in taxes than it is spending - of 1% this year, 2% in 2016, 3% and 3.5% in 2017 and 2018 respectively.
:: Sales tax reform
The proposals include a slew of tax hikes including a 23% value added tax on restaurants and catering, a reduced 13% tax on basic foodstuffs, energy hotels and water and a so-called "super reduced" rate of 6% on such things as pharmaceuticals, books and theatre - perhaps appropriate for a country that pioneered drama. The new tax levels will kick into gear this October.
Moreover, special tax breaks for the country's islands - popular tourist magnets - will be scrapped. Only the most remote islands will get to keep the coveted tax breaks.
:: Fiscal reform
Military spending will be slashed by €100 million this year and double that in 2016. Corporate tax will increase from 26% to 28% and farmers will lose preferential tax treatment and fuel subsidies. The government will enact a clamp-down on tax dodgers. The country's huge shipping industry will also see a tonnage tax hike and the industry's preferential tax treatments will be phased out. A luxury tax will be extended to cover recreational vessels over five metres (16.4 feet) and the rate will jump from 10% to 13%.
:: Pension reform
The government is looking at reforms that would bring permanent savings of 0.25% to 0.5% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2015 and 1% of GDP in 2016 and beyond. Measures aimed at achieving those numbers include discouraging early retirement and standardising the retirement age to 67 by 2022 - except for those performing "arduous jobs" and mothers raising kids with a disability.
Social pensions will be better targeted, while supplementary pension funds will be financed by employees' own contributions. Perks such as a solidarity fund will be gradually phased out and health contributions for pensioners will jump from 4% to 6% on average. More reforms will kick in to make the pension system more sustainable, including an overhaul of pension contributions for all self-employed.
Authorities will also vet reforms to make sure that they are fair.
:: Public sector reform
Authorities will shape up public sector wages to ensure that they are on a downward trajectory by 2019 and that they fit "the skill, performance and responsibility" of staff. Perks such as paid leave and travel allowances will be streamlined to conform with EU norms. A plan to make it easier to reassign public sector workers to different posts wherever they are needed will also be introduced. A new strategic plan to fight corruption will be drawn up by the end of this month while new laws will make political party finances more transparent and protect financial crime investigations from political interference.
:: Tax administration
The government will set up an autonomous tax revenue agency and enact reforms streamline tax collection, track down tax cheats and combat fuel smuggling.
:: Financial sector
Amendments on insolvency laws will aim to get debtors to pay up loans, while consultants will help on how to deal with bad loans. Steps will also be taken get foreign investors to pour their money into Greek banks.
:: Product market
The government will open restricted professions such as engineers, notaries and court bailiffs. It will draw up laws aimed at getting rid of red tape and making it easier to get business licenses, while reforming the gas market.
:: Privatisations
The government will look at selling off state assets and will get the ball rolling on privatising the electricity grid company, regional airports and ports including Pireaus and Thessaloniki.

Orion Sirius 180 Maksuktov Cassegrain Telescope Package
The reason for the outstanding high-power performance of the Orion Sirius 180 Mak EQ is the 180mm (7.1") optical system with its 2,700mm focal length (f/15). With 44% more light grasp than the 150mm Mak, you'll get brighter images and better resolution. And the Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design produces larger images with less eyepiece magnification than other scopes. The Orion Sirius 180 Mak EQ is the perfect combination of brightness, contrast, and definition for planets, close double-stars, clusters, and well-defined deep-sky targets. The meniscus lens is fully multicoated for maximum light transmission, further enhancing the bright, well-defined images. No other optical design can deliver such potent optical specifications in a package that measures just 22" long and weighs in just under 16 lbs.
The visual back of the Orion Sirius 180 Mak EQ accepts 1.25" eyepieces and accessories, and a dovetail bracket on the rear cell accepts any Orion finder scope or EZ Finder. The dovetail rail on the underside of the tube makes it easy to remove the telescope or attach it to the mount for easier setup. Attach an Orion StarShoot Solar System and you'll capture gorgeous high-resolution color images on your PC!
And all that power is so easy to control! GoTo is a simple yet reliable (and very high-tech) way to control your telescope. Two stepper motors on the Sirius mount power the telescope to the object you select at a brisk 3.4 per second, putting it right in your eyepiece's field of view. You will enjoy more productive viewing sessions, seeing way more wonders in a single evening than you ever thought possible. The Orion Siruis "Big Mak" GoTo system will even take you on a guided sky tour of the best sights each month! Just do an easy initial alignment and you're ready to go!
The legendary Sirius EQ-G mount provides a steady base no matter how rugged your viewing conditions are. This substantial mount features internal dual-axis stepper motors that slew the telescope at up to 3.4� per second. Includes an illuminated polar-axis scope, 8.3" dovetail mounting bar, and an 11 lb counterweight. The tripod is remarkably sturdy with 1.75"- diameter stainless steel legs and metal spreader plate. Requires an external 12-volt power source, like the Orion Dynamo Pro (#2307), or an AC-to-DC adapter.
Power, versatility, portability... if you're a serious big Mak fan then the Orion Sirius 180 Mak EQ is the one is for you! One-year limited warranty. For owners of the Sirius EQ-G GoTo Mount whose version of the GoTo hand controller is 3.0 or greater, the GoTo hand controller's firmware can be updated over the internet.
Orion Sirius 180 Maksuktov Cassegrain Telescope Package Features
- Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope boasting a big 7.1" aperture and 2,700mm focal length (f/15) excels for high-power solar system use
- An ideal Maksutov-Cassegrain for high magnification study and astrophotography of compact nebulas, star clusters, as well as the Moon and planets

New etiquette rules for the digital age
Sir Elton John might pride himself on not using a mobile phone, but that's not the case for most of us. In fact, many of us are so dependent on them we dread the creeping feeling of terror which descends when we realise we've left our phone at home, or, more maddeningly, spot the dreaded 'low battery' signifier.
It comes a bit of a surprise that there isn't a commonly-followed etiquette which is followed in this increasingly switched on age then. Is it OK to text to say you're taking a day off sick? Should you friend your boss on social media? And what about the virtual minefield of the indulgent Facebook status?
Help is at hand courtesy of BT Mobile and Oxford University, who have teamed up to create a list of 17 social media commandments after studying the behaviour of 2,000 adults.
Firstly, it's suggested private messaging should be saved for friends only – never try to send on to a random stranger. You should never hide what you've been looking at online from your partner, and also it's best to avoid over-sharing on Facebook (so sorry if you're heartbroken about your breakup, but we don't want to hear it).
Make sure you use social networks the right way; LinkedIn is a professional platform, so save your flirty banter for Tinder. The advice is to step away from the keyboard when you're feeling emotional too, which means no texting when you're angry, upset or worst of all drunk. No Facebook posts when you're sozzled either. In fact no internet at all when you've had a few!
Don't put kisses at the end of work emails and never gossip about people via text or social media. If you need the day off you should talk to your boss, not rely on a text, and bad news should also never be related via text.
There were also tips on wishing people happy birthday, negotiating group messages, snooping on your partner's phone and then the big one: sorry, but ending a romance over text or social media is a big no-no.
"By nature, humans are social animals," explained psychologist Dr Peter Collett. "Given that so much of our enjoyment is linked to other people, it's hardly surprising that we invest so much time and effort into keeping in touch with friends and acquaintances. New digital communications have made it even easier for us to express our true nature, and the research… uncovers some really interesting new trends of the cyber friendship."

The Producer
Between the Cevennes and Mont Ventoux, located just to the north of Montpellier, Pic Saint-Loup is one of the most famous and scenic of all of the Languedoc enclaves. The dramatic limestone escarpments, including the eponymous 'peak', provide a memorable back-drop to a number of excellent wine properties, of which Château de Lancyre is one of the very best.
The only mystery remaining, grosso modo, is why Pic Saint-Loup has not yet been granted an independent Appellation Contrôlée status…The answer, it seems, lies in bureaucracy more rather than intrinsic wine quality ...indeed the enclave has no shortage of quality and it wines all have impressive individuality allied to great aromatic persistence and structural power.
Regis Valentin and Bernard Durand have done great things at Château Lancyre to prove this very point.
Other wines by this producer:
The Grape
The vast majority of wines from the Southern Rhône are blends. There are 5 main black varieties, although others are used and the most famous wine of the region, Châteauneuf du Pape, can be made from as many as 13 different varieties. Grenache is the most important grape in the southern Rhône - it contributes alcohol, warmth and gentle juicy fruit and is an ideal base wine in the blend. Plantings of Syrah in the southern Rhône have risen dramatically in the last decade and it is an increasingly important component in blends. It rarely attains the heights that it does in the North but adds colour, backbone, tannins and soft ripe fruit to the blend.
The much-maligned Carignan has been on the retreat recently but is still included in many blends - the best old vines can add colour, body and spicy fruits. Cinsault is also backtracking but, if yields are restricted, can produce moderately well-coloured wines adding pleasant-light fruit to red and rosé blends. Finally, Mourvèdre, a grape from Bandol on the Mediterranean coast, has recently become an increasingly significant component of Southern Rhône blends - it often struggles to ripen fully but can add acidity, ripe spicy berry fruits and hints of tobacco to blends.
The Region
Pic Saint-Loup in Côteaux du Languedoc is evocatively and accurately named, with steep limestone escarpments stark in the Mediterranean sunshine of the hilly uplands to the north of Montpellier. Pic St Loup produces some of the finest wines in the Languedoc.
To qualify as a Pic Saint-Loup a wine must contain Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, a bold initiative and thus far a successful one with some truly outstanding domaines such as Lascaux and Cazeneuve producing some of the very best wines in the region.

Today we're doing another installment of the marijuana news roundup, where I will be providing insight and hilarious commentary on today's marijuana news. Here we go…
California medical marijuana shops are already selling recreational weed
It appears some medical marijuana shops are eager to sell marijuana products to people who don't have their medical cards, because Merry Jane reports that some shops are selling product to anyone who can prove they're over 21.
"I think that they've gotten more emboldened," James Wolak, captain of the Narcotics Bureau for the LA County Sheriff's Department, told Merry Jane. "People feel like now that it's legal, anything goes. And that's just not the case."
The article also states that some shops are selling marijuana to people who simply sign a form that says they're a medical marijuana patient, despite not having any proof with them. California continues to be rebellious.
Texas narcotics agent says medical marijuana isn't a real thing
Texas Department of Public Safety narcotics agent Corky Schalchlin told the Dallas-Fort Worth bureau of NBC News on Sunday that there isn't real evidence that marijuana can be used medically, and he is worried about the idea of legalizing or decriminalizing it.
Texas' legislature is considering decriminalizing marijuana, and he used classic War on Drugs doublespeak to talk against the idea.
"Are you going to have a doctor show up to surgery who has been smoking or a nurse? A fireman?" Schalchlin asked. "If you legalize it, are you going to have police officers out there carrying a gun that have been smoking? It's scary. I think it's a slippery slope."
Aside from how moronic that statement is, it's important to point out it holds no place in reality.
"No. The quick answer to Agenty Schalchlin's questions is simply 'no,'" Johnny Green at Weed News wrote in response. "Nowhere in any bill in the history of the Texas Legislature has an elected official proposed that doctors, fireman, and/or police officers should be allowed to perform their job duties while impaired by marijuana. To suggest so is fear mongering on an epic level."
Furthermore, there is a mountain of evidence showing marijuana has medical benefits. That's why tons of pharmaceutical companies are researching it.
New Mexico might double the number of plants medical marijuana producers can grow
New Mexico politicians are considering passing a bill that would more than double how many plants a medical marijuana producer can grow, and it would allow medical marijuana patients to possess more of their medicine, according to the Sante Fe New Mexican.
Producers would be able to grow up to 1,000 plants, instead of the current limit of 450 plants. Patients would be able to possess "up to 5 ounces of marijuana during a 30-day period. Currently, patients are allowed to possess 8 ounces during a 90-day period."
Marijuana smokers at Trump's inauguration are probably safe
Since news came that marijuana advocates will pass out 4,200 free joints in Washington, D.C. for Trump's inauguration, D.C. leaders decided they don't really care.
At a news conference on Friday, Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser said arresting people for smoking weed "wouldn't be our first priority," according to The Cannabist.
Marijuana is legal in Washington, D.C., but smoking it in public is not. However, they'll probably have more important things to worry about on such a big day than people getting a little high. Furthermore, we all really need to get high on inauguration day.

Mr Cracker returned to winning ways with a strong performance at Listowel but a 7lb rise gives him a difficult task and runner-up Uncle Tom Cobley may be able to take his revenge. Johannisberger was nowhere near his best at Roscommon last time after an easy victory over the course and distance while Fever Pitch ran very well behind Miss Pepperpot at Killarney. Moon Dice hasn't had much experience which may be his downfall so a chance is taken with HE'S OUR MAN, who is just getting his act together over the bigger obstacles and was a close second over the track and trip last month when attempting to concede weight to the winner.

New South Sydney captain Greg Inglis confirmed he is "looking around" despite being contracted to the NRL club until 2017.
Inglis' manager Allan Gainey had already suggested there was plenty of interest in Inglis in both rugby league and rugby union and the Australian international did little to water down the prospects of a move.
"I'm contracted to 2017 but I'm still looking at different options," he said on his arrival in Manchester ahead of Sunday's World Club Challenge clash with Super League champions St Helens.
"Years pass that quick and we're in 2015 now so I'm just keeping all the doors open and all my options open. There is no harm in looking around."
Inglis confirmed that he had spoken to former Souths teammate Sam Burgess, who was bought out of his contract with Souths by Bath, about the difficulties in switching codes.
"I've spoken to a lot of people about different areas of the sporting arena," he said. "Sammy enjoys it. Whether or not I will is a different story."
Who will win the World Club Challenge?

Sailport condos are located on Tampa Bay. Close to Tampa International. Free shuttle from the airport. Free or inexpensive shuttle to area dining, shopping malls,etc. Condos have a great view of sunsets on Tampa Bay. Rocky beach, but nice area for relaxing in the sun and sand. Heated swimming pool. The condos are pretty basic, but clean and comfortable. I think the daily rates are a good bargain for what you are getting.

Liberal commentary that attempts to make sense out of the mess we're in.

Bernie Sanders: GOP Works Against Majority, Democrats Need To Stand Up
Speaking to Bill Maher, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) laid out the Republican agenda: cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid while giving huge tax breaks to the wealthy and large corporations. In contrast, the American people want a jobs program that rebuilds our infrastructure, the expansion of Social Security, and an affordable college education. If the Democrats "[spoke] to the issues facing the vast majority of the American people and had the guts to stand up to the billionaire class that has so much wealth and power, I think the American people would be supportive of that kind of agenda," Sanders stated. The problem is that big money makes the most campaign contributions, and most candidates are afraid to defy the wealthy in terms of taxation and shipping jobs overseas.

It seems that banks have been busy updating their mobile apps with check features in the past week, despite the fact that checks have been declining in popularity in recent years.
Bank of America now allows customers to order checks through its mobile app, "thanks to all the great feedback and feature requests," the company said. Additionally, customers can now view BofA's catalog of check styles (Hello Kitty is an option) and accessories — such as registers, checkbook covers, debit card holders, stamps, and even calculators — and order those through the app. If you are feeling particularly creative, BofAs checks are fully customizable. The app update, version 6.6.8, was posted on the iTunes app store yesterday.
Another bank, BBVA Compass, released a different check feature this week, allowing customers to deposit multiple checks at once through the app.
Both BofA and BBVA's check features indicate that neither customers nor banks are ready to completely part ways with paper slips. Instead, digitally-driven FIs find ways to utilize check features and drive traffic to their mobile apps, and away from ATMs.
Bank of America increased its mobile userbase by 14.6% year over year, reaching 19.6 million in the first quarter.Like This Post

Dr. John Andrew is my favorite doctor and I trust him implicitly.
Dr. John Andrew is my favorite doctor and I trust him implicitly. He doesn't over react and yet carefully considers every detail I bring to his attention. He really listens to me and we partner to make a decision on the next step. I really appreciated how he researched and found me a center of excellence to deal with my BPPV benign positional paroxysmal vertigo. I visited a top balance specialist who quickly diagnosed my complaint and sent me off for physical therapy, which resolved this problem that had been plaguing me for several years. I now go to yoga four times a week, ride my bike, and run and feel great. He has helped our entire family and me on countless other occasions for which we are grateful.

STANWOOD — A logging accident at the Pilchuck Tree Farm near Stanwood on Friday morning sent one man to the hospital with a broken leg.
Because of the rugged terrain, emergency crews couldn't reach the man on foot. The Snohomish County sheriff's helicopter crew was called to assist, sheriff's spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.
Medics were lowered to the ground to stabilize the man, 25. He was then hoisted into the helicopter and flown to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. An update on his condition was not available.
The entire rescue effort took about two hours.

There are various reports coming through tonight that Managing Director Lee Charnley and Rafa Benitez held some good positive talks this afternoon on Rafa staying at Newcastle for next season.
They are said to have discussed what it would take to keep the world-class manager at St James' Park for next season so he can start overhauling both the club and the Newcastle squad – and potentially return the club immediately back to the Premier League next May.
The report is that Benitez is going to make his decision a few days after Newcastle's last game of the season on Sunday against Spurs after reviewing the situation.
Rafa Benitez – Newcastle manager
And further meetings with Lee Charnley before Sunday and it's looking like he may even stay on Tyneside.
Owner Mike Ashley is also said to be very motivated to keep Benitez at the club, and that's obviously because of the unnecessary relegation of Newcastle due to gross incompetence at the top of the club.
Charnley is said to talked through the key issues with Benitez on Thursday afternoon at the manager's office at their Benton training ground.
As we reported earlier today these are the key issues:
- Full control of all transfers into and out of the club
- A complete overhaul of the Youth Academy
- A complete overhaul of the Benton Training Facilities
- Control of the medical department
And there are various other reports today that Rafa is seriously considering staying at Newcastle.
Rafa is savvy and smart and he wants the fine details of any agreement made with Charnley to be put in writing before he will agree to scrap the break clause in his contract.
Newcastle officials think the club is in a relatively healthy financial position to deal with next season's precipitous fall in revenues.
The Mirror is reporting that players will be sold and Benitez will be handed funds to be able to rebuild his Newcastle squad.
We hope he stays – it will give the long-suffering Newcastle supporters some real hope for the future.
If you want to send a message to Rafa asking him to stay, here's all the contact information for Newcastle United – here.
Here's Rafa's twitter account associated with his web-site.
It could be our last chance of being able to build a really top team again on Tyneside.
Go for it.
Howay The Lads!!

This Little Piggy Went to Parliament
Fraud is Fraud. This is not the tuck shop at Eton where people are given a slap on the wrist for stealing. The Tories are as bad as Labour on this issue and the leader who has the courage and conviction to sack those that have defrauded the British Public should be the next PM. Claiming for Manure...this is beyond satire. Please visit the open letters section to see the level of public outrage.

Route 66 Raceway
Line Solidifies Points Lead with Semifinal Finish in Joliet
Summit Racing driver Jason Line continued his impressive 2011 season on Sunday, scoring a semifinal finish at Sunday's Route 66 Nationals in Joliet, Ill.. This performance allowed the current NHRA Pro Stock championship points leader to increase his advantage over four of the top six competitors, with the lone exception being his teammate Greg Anderson, who won the race. With five races before the start of the Countdown to One playoffs, Line leads Anderson by 54 points and is 77 points clear of third place Mike Edwards.
"It was a good points day, but this Summit Racing team is here to win races and let the points take care of themselves," said Line. "Fortunately, Greg was able to take home the win, so it turned out to be a pretty good day for the KB crew. I'm just disappointed that we weren't able to make it an all-Summit final.
"After doing so well in qualifying, I thought my car would perform a little better than it did. Even so, we can't be too upset making it to the semifinals on a day that we struggled to adapt to the conditions. It was a decent day, but it could have been better."
After having one of the quickest and most consistent cars in qualifying second behind his teammate Greg Anderson, the Mooresville, N.C. resident seemed ready to make a run at his fourth Route 66 Raceway win. Things went according to plan in the first round when the 2006 champion combined a .040 reaction time and 6.667-second, 205.91 mph run to defeat Richard Freeman.
In the second round, Line squared off against the most recent winner on the NHRA tour Vincent Nobile. Once again, Line used a representative 6.660-second, 205.79 mph pass to edge his young opponent, who posted a 6.688-second time and 206.45 mph speed in the losing cause.
This set the stage for a semifinal meeting with Erica Enders, who had qualified third and posted the quickest time in each of the first two rounds. Running in the less-preferred right hand lane, Line made a gallant effort, covering the quarter-mile in 6.673-seconds with a top speed of 205.98 mph. Unfortunately, it was not enough to overcome his opponent's 6.665-second, 206.76 mph pass, putting a slightly premature end to Line's day.
"All in all, I can't really be too upset with our weekend, but we leave here feeling like we left a little on the table," said Line. "Fortunately, we have ten days before our next race in Denver and the start of the Western Swing, so I'm confident this Summit Racing team is going to go back to our shop, go over everything we learned this weekend and put things in motion so we can improve going forward. After all, we want to have great days, not just good ones."

text: SOLON, Ohio, Oct. 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Energy Focus, Inc. (OTCQB:EFOI) today announced the creation of an Energy Focus Advisory Board to be comprised of leading experts in government and commercial markets. "We are pleased to announce the formation of Energy Focus' new Advisory Board whose purpose will be to help us penetrate significant market segments by bringing key industry insights and connections to critical decision-making networks to Energy Focus as we grow our LED retrofit businesses," said James Tu, Energy Focus Executive Chairman. "After serving 30 years in the U.S. Navy and spending 15 years at General Dynamics, Rear Admiral Pease is an ideal choice for our inaugural Advisory Board member. Rear Admiral Pease worked not only as the Navy's Chief of Information, but also more recently as General Dynamics' vice president of government relations. His vast wealth of experience and understanding of United States Navy and government contracting procedures will be invaluable in our initiative to expedite LED adoption throughout the military fleet," continued Mr. Tu. Eric Hilliard, Energy Focus President and Chief Operating Officer adds, "We very much look forward to the Rear Admiral's support as we transform the Navy's lighting from its legacy incandescent and fluorescent technology to an all LED solution. Energy Focus' military LED product line, which includes our IntelliTube® - technology, will bring much reduced life cycle costs as well as significant ongoing energy savings due to its superior efficiency." "I am pleased to join Energy Focus as an Advisory Board member to help the Company continue to bring energy efficient lighting products to the fleet, which will be critical in meeting the fuel savings targeted by the Secretary of the Navy," said Rear Admiral Pease, USN retired. "Energy Focus' LED lighting technology is an important element in fostering good economics for the Navy, and it's also equally important as a strategic factor in elevating fleet readiness upon which we all rely."

The Rebel
If I had clamoured at Thy Gate
For gift of Life on Earth,
And, thrusting through the souls that wait,
Flung headlong into birth––
Even then, even then, for gin and snare
About my pathway spread,
Gods, I had mocked Thy thoughtful care
Before I joined the Dead!
But now?... I was beneath Thy Hand
Ere yet the Planets came.
And now––though Planets pass, I stand
The witness to Thy shame!
"The Rebel", Rudyard Kipling
It is in a small clearing in the late late night, the moon at a half-sliver, in which a young woman paces. This is their last night here, from which they will catch a ship at the next port and forever be rid of this cursed Brittainia. What a wretched place! What wretched things have happened here. And it's all her fault. Yes, thinks the young woman. It is because of her bloodlust, her insatiable hatred for Caesar that all this has happened. And why shouldn't I be mad? Why must I pay and pay for all her hatred? Would it that she never picked up a sword in the first place! Where would it have had to have stopped? Corinth? Solan? No, much earlier than that. With Lao Ma? The young woman's mind tangles through the webs of her friend's history and arrives at the beginning: With Cortese and Amphipolis. Yes, if only she could travel back to that time and that town and warn the young warrior what would happen if she continued to burn like she did– how much she would destroy– how much she would come to despise herself for her destruction. How much better would it be if only I could offer her my love then? when it would have been simple to give, easy, uncomplicated by everything that has happened.
The young woman looks up to the dim stars and silently casts her plea to the gods. She should know better, what with all her dealings with those on Olympus, that any prayer in vain sparks the interest of those bored immortals. But the young woman had already abandoned the thought, breathed deeply the night air and gathered all her pain in her arms and let it wrap her up and consume her.
"Gabrielle?" That deep, silvery voice through the trees, thickened by sleep. The young woman shakes herself and walks back through the trees to their campsite. The fire is merely embers, emitting faint wisps of smoke, too much heat. Their bedrolls are laid out next to each other, as they usually are. But Gabrielle couldn't feel farther away from her companion. She feels worlds away, stars shooting past, planets, all the heavens in between them. "Come back to bed," says Xena. She sleepily holds a corner of the fur open for her. And so, with a sigh, Gabrielle slips into the bedroll beside her, and feels her pain and her love for this woman knotting through her chest. The tension only uncoils when she feels the warrior's arm creep mindfully over her hip and settle on her stomach. Gabrielle drifts back into sleep.
There is something unusually bright shining into her closed eyes. There is something much too warm on her face. There is something much too wet at her back. With a groan, Gabrielle opens her eyes to find herself, not in her bedroll, not next to Xena, not in a forest in Brittainia, but in a field. In a Grecian field, it seems by the flowers in bloom. She must have been here all morning, from the dew that had soaked through her thin shift from the reeds; the suns sits so high in the sky. What happened? How did she get here? Perhaps I'm dreaming, thinks Gabrielle. She closes her eyes once more and listens to the sounds of life around her: the wind which whips the tips of the sawgrass against her legs, how it roars like a sea through the treetops; she hears the sound of running water as it trips down stones and pebbles and felled trees. At the thought of water, Gabrielle realises she is very thirsty. She sees upon standing, that she had lain in a meadow just below a hill which slopes faintly upward, than steeply down into the farming steppes. Gabrielle knows this field. She and Xena had been here many times before. She is standing only a few lengths away from the Eastern road that leads into Amphipolis. She also knows that if she travels beyond that western copse, there rushes the river.
At the water's edge, Gabrielle takes a moment to collect herself. What had happened? Perhaps she was ill, lost her memory? Maybe this was Xena's idea of a joke. But, she dismissed that idea as ridiculous the moment it passed. Perhaps this is a vision? Yes, perhaps she is to be shown something in this vision of great importance. She will need to be more vigilant now. Gabrielle kneels on the red clay bank and gathers her blonde hair into a knot and moves it off her neck. She then lowers her head into the gently flowing river. The water is cold, jolting, so real-feeling that she can't quite dismiss it as a dream. She resurfaces and barely has time to wipe the water from her eyes when she hears a branch snap. Gabrielle jerks her head around at the noise, half-blind.
"Who's there?" she says, taking the chance to clear her eyes. When she can see clearly, she looks around and slowly begins to stand. She knew she heard something. It was probably an animal or something. Just then, there is a rustling sound and splash! the water explodes over her, soaking further her shift and her hair. Sputtering, Gabrielle knows she is not dreaming now. Again, she wipes the water from her face and looks at figure standing in the middle of the stream. It is a girl, young but at the threshold of womanhood; she has long long black hair, knotted in free swaying dreads. She wears a black woven leather vest, tarnished buckles, leather pants that disappear at the thigh into the river water rushing around her. In her hand is a knife, and for a moment the blade shines blue in the clarity of her eyes. It only takes a moment for Gabrielle to recognise the girl. It takes one more moment for her to get over her shock.
"Look, I didn't meant to scare ya that bad," says the girl. She leaps with dexterity onto the bank beside a still-soaking Gabrielle. She still cannot believe her eyes.
"Xena?" she says, her eyes wide. The girl stops, the knife still in her hand. She eyes this strange blonde woman in a sleeping shift.
"How do you know my name?" she demands. Her eyebrows knit together in that familiar foreboding way.
"I um... I can explain," says Gabrielle.
"Start talking."
"My name is Gabrielle." The young Xena registers this news, almost looking like she recognises the name. "And I'm from a village not far from here. A village called Potidaea."
"I've heard of it yes. Famous for that battle in the Peloponnesian wars."
"Yes, so you have."
"That still doesn't answer my question. How do you know my name?" This Xena is much more impatient and easily agitated, Gabrielle discovers. She considers her next words a moment, then decides that if Xena could love her many years from now, she could love her again in this world, in this time as well.
"I have the gift of prophecy," says Gabrielle. The girl is intrigued, alleviated from a small portion of her distrust. She, however, does not take her eyes off the strange blonde woman as she walks the few steps to the crab apple tree; she throws the knife casually, spinning it to cut the stem of a plump green apple so that it falls neatly into her hand; she leaves the knife sticking out of the trunk of the tree. Gabrielle nearly snickers and ruins her aura of mystique; Xena has always been a show-off.
"So tell me, Gabrielle," Xena drawls, her voice slightly higher than matured tone, "what prophecy told you my name?".
"I had a dream," she lied, "I had a dream that led me to this river and I met a woman named Xena. She was much older than you are now, by ten summers at least. She turned out to be the most loyal friend I had ever known." Xena walks closer to Gabrielle, until she is only a few footlengths away. Gabrielle has the chance to get a more detailed appreciation for the difference between the woman she knows and this younger version of her friend.
By the gods, Xena was a beauty even in her teenage years. Her beauty is much more wild now though, much more mischievous; her beauty is less controlled, less like the sharp stoicism of her beauty in later years. There is a ruddy flush to her cheek. She looks less haunted, no deep rings of sleeplessness under her eyes. Although, there is a small cut above her brow and there are a few scratches on the sides of her arms. It looks like she had recently been in a scuffle. Xena smirks, her eyes bright, steps even closer to the strange blonde woman.
"Ever had a crab apple? The cows eat 'em, but I like the sour taste," she offers the small fruit to Gabrielle. Gabrielle takes the apple from Xena's hand, their fingers brushing lightly. Over the fruit at her lips, the green of her eyes briefly meets the tide of Xena's stare. They share their eyes a moment, and then Gabrielle takes a crisp bite, not flinching at its bitterness. Xena smiles for real now, and it transforms her face, making her look so so much younger. "What am I like, ten summers older?"
It is Gabrielle's turn to smile now. Then, suddenly, it turns to a frown. Brittainia. Dahak. Caesar. Xena registers this range of emotions on the young woman's face and frowns in response.
"That bad, huh?" she jokes, crossing her arms over her chest.
"No, not at all," Gabrielle places her hand on Xena's forearm, "You will be the finest of women, the finest of warriors, the finest of those who seek the greater good. You will be a fiercely loyal friend, the profoundest friend of my life." These words nearly conjure tears, they shock Gabrielle with how true they are. Suddenly, the reality of the situation hits her. The gods have granted her her wish. Here she is, an impressionable young warrior princess, and here I am, a few years her elder able to impart influence and guidance. She wonders if Xena had already fought Cortese; for some reason, Gabrielle didn't think so.
"You really think all that?" answers Xena.
"I really do," she answers, moving her hand back to Xena's arm.
"You really are a strange nut aren't you lady?" she smiles that lopsided smile, more carefree than Gabrielle has ever seen it.
"Sure am," she says.
"So, where are your clothes?"
Gabrielle looks briefly around her and shrugs, "I don't have any."
"Don't have any? What, did you pawn them? Are you on the run?" Xena is ribbing her now, beginning to circle her playfully. It strikes her friend, how full of energy this young woman is, it nearly snaps together like lightning behind her eyes.
"Nothing like that. Someone must have stolen them." Well, it wasn't a total lie.
"Come on, then. We'll make like the Samaritans and get ya clothed and fed. My mother owns an inn down there in town." Xena begins to walk in that direction, expecting Gabrielle to fall at her heels as she does in her later years too. She stops at the crap apple tree and withdraws the knife from its bark.
"I have no dinars!" Gabrielle calls.
Xena answers over her shoulder, "No clothes. I figured no dinars. Still, though. I suppose I could share a few of my things, seeing as we're future best friends and all."
With a brief grin to herself, Gabrielle starts off after her young friend.
