I am new to kettlebell use and have several different weights that I have purchased since starting my program. I wish they were all Russian Kettlebells. The quality is second to done with just the right width handle and grip texture. They should be around for my kids, kids,…Read More
Breaking News: this RKC kettlebell size now available for immediate pre-order! Learn more
The 16kg (35lbs.) RKC Russian Kettlebell is Dragon Door's most popular kettlebell
The 16kg/35lb kettlebell is the ideal size for most men and for stronger women to jumpstart their cardio, conditioning and strength programs.
"Unlike other kettlebells I have used, Dragon Door is of far superior quality. You name it, Dragon Door has got it! Where other bells lack, Dragon Door kettlebells easily meet, if not exceed, what a bell is supposed to have in quality! Great Balance, nice thick handle for grip strength, and a finish that won't destroy your hands when doing kettlebell exercises."—Barry Adamson, Frederick, MD
Even a man of average initial strength can immediately start using the 16kg/35lb kettlebell for two-handed swings and quickly gravitate to one-handed swings, followed by jerks, cleans and snatches.
Within a few weeks you can expect to see spectacular gains in overall strength and conditioning -- and for many -- significant fat loss.
Men and stronger women can use the 35lb kettlebell to train themselves effectively in the many excellent drills you'll find in the classic book and DVD, Enter the Kettlebell!
"Dragon Door never fails to impress with their quality service and products. I bought the 16kg last month and since adding it to my kettlebell 'arsenal', I am seeing huge improvement from the heavier weight. I have larger hands for a woman so the handle on the 16kg fits my hands perfectly and it feels great…This is my fifth month using kettlebells and I cannot imagine NOT using them. They have changed my life."— By Tracy Ann Mangold, Combined Locks, WI

Dragon Door has re-introduced kettlebells to the US with their uniquely designed 35lb cast iron kettlebell—and it has remained our most popular kettlebell. Why?
Even a man of average initial strength can immediately start using the 35lb kettlebell for two-handed swings and quickly gravitate to one-handed swings, followed by jerks, cleans and snatches.
Within a few weeks you can expect to see spectacular gains in overall strength and conditioning—and for many—significant fat loss.
Stronger men and more experienced weightlifters and powerlifters can use the 35lb kettlebell to train themselves effectively in the many excellent drills you'll find in the classic book and DVD, Enter the Kettlebell!.
The 35 lb kettlebell quickly becomes a favorite for women too, once they have built up their strength using Dragon Door's lighter kettlebells. (Women, we recommend you start with either the 26lb kettlebell or the 18lb kettlebell initially.)
I am new to kettlebell use and have several different weights that I have purchased since starting my program. I wish they were all Russian Kettlebells. The quality is second to done with just the right width handle and grip texture. They should be around for my kids, kids, kids!
I had a smaller kettlebell that I got from a big sports chain, and one look at the finish was all you needed to see that it was shoddily produced. These kettlebells, while merely a hunk of cast iron, have attention paid to their fit and finish that is top-notch. No burrs or flashing remain, seams are ground smooth and the blasted finish glides smoothly over your arms and doesn't pull the hair like the rubberized version I already had.
The differences between Dragon Door's authentic Russian kettlebell and the inferior one which I had purchased earlier at a local big box sports store are astounding! The Dragon Door design and quality are clearly superior, and your kettlebell just "feels" right in my hand. There is absolutely no comparison (and yes, I returned the substandard hunk of iron to the big box store for a credit as soon as I received your kettlebell). I look forward to purchasing a heavier kettlebell from dragondoor.com as soon as I master the 16kg weight!
I purchased this 35lb bell for a friend, and as I was carrying it to him I was thinking of ways I could keep it for myself. Everything about this bell is superior to other brands. The finish is the perfect balance of smooth and rough. The handle is ample in both girth and width even for a 35 lb bell, and the shape/ dimensions make overhead work so much more comfortable. There is a clear and noticeable difference between DD bells and others. Now I am looking to replace my cheap bells with DD. On a related note, my friend is thrilled with his bell.
The quality of your kettlebell is not to be taken lightly - it's exceptional. But what I appreciate most about Dragon Door is it's network of certified trainers around the country who are available to coach newcomers to kettlebell training. My experience recently with one such trainer has been both inspiring and humbling as I learned the importance of maintaining proper form throughout the exercises. My appreciation goes out to Dragon Door for it's integrity to make such valuable training available. For those who can, don't miss this opportunity.
I purchsed this to complement my growing stock of Dragon Door Kettlebells ( I own 2 18lbs and now two 35 lbs). These will no doubt last me years and I love the durability of the finish on the newer bells. I own one of the old school bells whose finish still far exceeds the quality of all the copycat bells out now. I will always remain loyal to Dragon Door . Thank you DD!!!!
I've purchased several different brands of kettlebells since 2008. After using these kettlebells at our Russian kettlebell studio for several years, I've learned that you get what you pay for. Our studio's Dragon Doors still looked fantastic despite heavy daily use by countless people. In comparison, a couple of my own kettlebells at home -- from other manufacturers -- were already starting to look worn after a mere year of use. I also saw a YouTube clip of a woman doing a comparison of Dragon Door kettlebells with those from other manufacturers. Her experience matched my own: Dragon Door was clearly superior. Listen: You do get what you pay for! Kettlebells are a lifetime investment. Don't cheat yourself. Buy these! I won't settle for anything less these days. P.S. Dragon Door's customer service is terrific.
Having purchased Convict Conditioning and few other products from Dragon Door I was pleased to find that this russian kettlebell falls in line with what I expected...a top quality product that my sons and I will enjoy for many years if not our lifetimes. Thank you Dragon Door for never comprimising quality. Why I am a customer who keeps coming back.
I ordered a 16kg and a 24kb bell on Monday 4/15/13 and they came today, 4/17/13. I can't believe how quickly I got them with standard shipping. I though I would have a couple more days to procrastinate before starting my workout but I guess not:) Quality is also top notch. Could not be happier and will be ordering more when I grow out of these. Also, I debated for some time and did a lot of research. I almost bought another companies' product but decided to give these a try based on overwhelming good reviews. Definitely made the right choice. Handles are smooth and the finish it top notch.Jeff - Madison, WI
After buying the 16 kg, my k-bell collection is complete! (I bought out of order: 24 kg, 32 kg, 16 kg). Despite my longterm use of heavier bells, this little gem still has plenty of utility. I use it for long endurance sets and for harder pressing variations (bottoms up, Sotts press, etc.). Down the road, I intend to use ankle weights to increase the weight of the 16 kg to 24 kg, enabling double clean and press workouts. As I age, I expect my use of this weight will become more frequent, as it doesn't beat up the joints while demanding cardiovascular fitness. Overall, I can think of no complaints with this purchase. Prompt delivery, durable finish, and typical Dragon Door attention to detail characterize the 16 kg.

At the weekend my twitter feed was alive with news of the hundreds of thousands of people around the world, including in my adopted city of Amsterdam, taking a stand in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement.
It is a movement that has quickly spread far beyond the shadows of Wall Street's skyscrapers, and the reason is simple - all over the world, citizens are tired of profit being put before people and the planet.
Greenpeace is tired of polluting corporations with vested interests dictating policy to governments, without concern for the consequences for those who have to live with them. We are tired of corporations controlling the quality of the air, people's access to food and the availability of clean, safe energy. As an organisation and as individuals, we share the growing demands for change.
The Occupy movement is in its infancy, but the discontent that gave birth to it is long-lived and broad-ranging.
Since I became the Executive Director of Greenpeace, I have seen first-hand how corporations are given licence to pollute and control our environment.
The horrors of the Fukushima nuclear meltdown brought into sharp focus the cosy relationship between the nuclear industry and governments, as well as the liability caps the nuclear industry enjoys. The people of Japan, already scarred by the consequences of radiation contamination, are now paying the cost of the clean-up too.
In Indonesia, the Amazon and Congo, commercial interests are driving deforestation; at sea large-scale industrial fishing fleets are emptying our oceans at a terrifying rate; agri-business is tightening its stranglehold on people's access to the basics of life, threatening food security. The giant chemical companies are polluting our rivers and even our childrens' clothes and toys.
There is one other common denominator in this equation - almost always it is the poor that pay the price first.
We share the aspirations of Occupy Wall Street for a better, freer world. We share their non-violent stance on civil disobedience. We are proud to have sent our solar truck "Rolling Sunlight" to help power the OWS media centre in New York and we urge everyone who has not yet engaged to do so now.
In just a few weeks we will see governments and corporations gather in my home town of Durban to yet again debate what Greenpeace believes is the most urgent issue facing our people and planet - climate change. But the time for debate is long passed. Now is the time for action. Action on the scale of that which we saw this weekend across hundreds of cities in the world - from Sydney to New Delhi to Rio de Janeiro to New York.
We know that there is broad-based democratic support for a rapid transition to renewable energy, but fossil-fuel companies are corrupting climate politics worldwide. In the US, the Koch Brothers - oil billionaires of 'the 1%' - are actively funding climate change denial and - along with many other fossil-fuel corporations and their front-groups - are holding us back from the political change that we so desperately need.
Greenpeace is no stranger to peaceful occupations - some may say that we have even made a habit out of it! So it should come as no surprise that we share the ideals of the Occupy movement. This is just the beginning of a mass movement for change and we stand shoulder to shoulder with them in their peaceful endeavour.
Like all movements, it will take time for the ideals to crystallise into concrete demands for change that everyone can agree on, but we encourage them to stand firm and continue on their path. The peaceful, non-violent public dialogue we are seeing at the occupy events worldwide is a vital part of a healthy democracy.
Last week I was interviewed for the Huffington Post Game-Changer series and asked about the importance of civil disobedience. In my many years of working to end poverty, against apartheid and now in the environment movement, I know that civil disobedience and peaceful protest on a massive scale is the only way to bring about real change and real democracy. Greenpeace is determined to play its part in ensuring that our governments and corporations deliver what the people want - a peaceful, equitable, green planet.

Congratulations! Finally someone found out a link between this moviment and Planet Earth. I´ve read the moviment was loosing strenght because it was aimless,almost 'homemade',not professional. If you can prove that some executives are funding climate change denial,the moviment gains another dimension,let´s say. It´s not only people fighting for jobs and wages,but for the future of our planet. Nowadays we can´t protest for one or other necessities of daily life,but for universal requirements.if not it doesn´t work out. I know Greenpeace don´t accept political donations,but to defend our Earth is a political action itself.

What a POWERFUL message!
Thank you Kumi Naidoo & Greenpeace!
Every day, every moment, we all Occupy the World.
Yet we have been led to believe that each individual has a very small voice & rights if any.
And that the voices & rights of politicians & corporations have all the ultimatums (for our own good).
We have also been led to believe that changing the motivation of the economy & government structure from Profit & the Individual's Needs & Wants would bring the whole system crashing down and we would no longer be safe at night or be able to buy the lifestyle we want.
We are making change with the awareness that we always Occupy the World at every moment.

Kumi, what every government in the world needs is a Green Party, like we do here in Australia. A voice for OWS, in every country. Our new carbon tax, which has been passed through government but not yet through our senate, is the only way big corporations can be made to pay, or correct, the environmental damage done to our earth, air & water. If it's money that's important to them, make that the penalty. Our Green Party has been active for decades, but are now only being heard. Kumi, I wish that you could be the Green Party in every government, for the whole world. Only by being loud will we be heard.

The demos were not peaceful in Rome. It has been described as like a war. If Greenpeace is going to support this movement because it reasonably believes that corporate and government greed are fundamentally behind the destruction of the environment then it should work flat out on formulating a list of effective and achievable demands that will give the movement some focus. Blind anarchy will lead nowhere good.

There are many Left Wing People who supposedly do not believe in the Death Penalty, are not complaining enough, because they only maintain what they call Principles if their is a Right Wing President, but once there is a Left Wing President, then they have no Principles.
Perhaps the Left Wing should vote for the Right Wing, because it will increase the possibility of them remaining true to what they think are Principles.
I do know how to spell Kangaroo, and even my spell check knows that, but I call the International Criminal Court or the Injustice of the Cangaroo Court.
Have the Judges of the ICC, or Injustice of the Cangaroo Court been complaining that Muammar Gaddafi was denied his Human Rights and Due Process, or should Trial by Slander, and Trial by American Media the Correct Way to gain Bribe Hush Money for remaining silent, because he knew too much about Saudi Arabia and other things that were embarrassing for England and America.
They say that liberalism is a Mental Disease, and there is not much you can do to help Hypocrites, and especially the American Industrial Military Complex would have less Work, because of fewer Wars.
There is a Responsibility to Protect Justice that every Judge has a Responsibly to Protect the Innocent, and to Protect the Community from the Guilty by not being Bribed to Pervert the Course of Justice.
This comment proves the Corruption of Evil America, the Evil European Union, and the Evil NATO Organization, and this is not Milosevic propaganda, but it is based on facts, just like the American and NATO Murderers have schemed against Libya, and long after Slobodan Milosevic.
I have slightly added to what Wikipedia says in order to provide more points for Consideration, and : Wikipedia Modified says: "Slobodan Milosevic was arrested by Yugoslav federal authorities on Saturday, 31 March 2001, on suspicion of corruption, abuse of power, and embezzlement at America's demand. The investigation into Slobodan Milosevic faltered for lack of evidence, prompting America's Puppet Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Dindic to send Slobodan Milosevic to The Hague where Slobodan Milosevic arrived at The Hague on 29 June 2011 to stand trial for charges of war crimes instead. Slobodan Milosevic conducted his own defence in the Five Year long trial, which ended without a verdict when he died under suspicious circumstances on 11 March 2006 in his prison cell in The Hague. Slobodan Milosevic who suffered from heart ailments and high blood pressure, died of a heart attack. The Biased and Corrupt Kangaroo Court denies any responsibility for Slobodan Milosevic's death. If you can believe everything they say, they claim that he refused to take the prescribed medicines that may have been wrongly prescribed poisons which he possibly did take, but the Kangaroo Court denied that he took them, and The Hague claims, possibly falsely, that Slobodan Milosevic medicated himself instead."
There are People who will say that even though Hitler was not put on Trial, everyone accepts that he was Guilty, and that is because built such a huge Army, Navy, and Air Force to attack other Countries; his Illegal and Immoral Occupation of Czechoslovakia and invasion of Poland, along with many other things; whereas, the Serbs were only defending themselves from American Sponsored and Directed Aggressors.
Had Hitler been put on Trial, then the Dirty and Unjust Tactics would not have been needed, as they were with Slobodan Milosevic, and the Prosecutors against Hitler could prove there case in at one month, but after Five Years, the Corrupt and Bribed Kangaroo Court could not prove their case against Slobodan Milosevic.
This is just like America's Puppet Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Dindic could not prove corruption, abuse of power, and embezzlement at America's demand, yet America is Guilty of al of these things on top of Pre-mediating Conspiring with The European Union and NATO to commit Physical, Economic, and Cultural Genocide on the Innocent Serbian People.
Milosevic knew, and student of History, knows that America never kept even one agreement that was made in writing with the Indians, and that they have not changed in the slightest, and so Milosevic was in a difficult position.
These Videos shows us the true nature of the Kangaroo Courts that are set up by England and America, and that they are truly places of Show Trials and are places to further their Many Injustices, and Crimes against Humanity.
At the same time, the Illegal, Immoral, and Corrupt International Criminal Court for the Former Yugoslavia are the Nazis method to whitewash Anglo-American Land Theft, and Anglo-American War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity.
The Title of the Videos on the Internet is: SHOCKING: Slobodan Milosevic was INNOCENT, and I found a five part Documentary on the internet, Unless the CIA changes the internet location, in an attempt to make me look like a liar or a deviant, in order to try to discredit what I wrote.

WASHINGTON — Congress wants to add cupcakes to school lunch lines, fighting back against an Obama administration proposal to make school lunches healthier.
A new bill would allow any cupcake, regardless of fat content, to be counted as a vegetable, as long as it has a small sprinkling of dried greens on top of the frosting. USDA had wanted to prevent that.
Bakeries around the country, the sugar industry, and kids everywhere requested the change, and some conservatives in Congress say the federal government shouldn't be telling children what to eat.
Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee said the change would "prevent overly burdensome and costly regulations, provide greater flexibility for local school districts to improve the nutritional quality of meals, and improve overall school morale."
Nutrition advocate Frannie Bean of the Healthy Persons Organization said Congress's proposed changes will keep schools from serving a wider array of vegetables. "Are you kidding me? If cupcakes are the vegetable, what will kids eat for dessert, deep fried butter?" she says. Ms. Bean also questioned whether children would be willing to eat cupcakes with greens on top of them. In an informal study, the Healthy Persons Organization found that 3 out of 4 school-aged children would be more willing to eat a piece of broccoli than a cupcake topped with greens.
A group of retired generals advocating for healthier school lunches also criticized the spending bill. They have called poor nutrition in school lunches a national security issue because obesity is the leading medical disqualifier for military service. The retired generals are also advocating for airport TSA screenings to check for cupcake eaters in order to add them to no-fly lists. They see cupcake eaters as huge risks to our national safety.
Bakeries who have fought the USDA standards say the standards were too strict and neglected the nutrients that cupcakes and other baked goods do offer. "Some kids," they say, "don't eat lunch at all. Having cupcakes on the lunch line will encourage children to take the in the calories they need to get them through the day." They also point out that by providing cupcakes in the school cafeteria, they can lessen the heavy risk of homemade cupcakes being brought to the school. Cafeteria food, they point out, is always safer than food baked in a home kitchen.
Note: If it's not entirely obvious, the content of this post is meant as a satirical news story poking fun of the recent congressional decision to continue to count pizza as a vegetable in school lunches due to its tomato paste content.
During my recent stay at a HomeAway condo in Washington, D.C., I wanted to create a Washington, D.C. inspired cupcake. I asked every local I encountered about what food, drink, or dessert was unique to D.C. and no one had an answer. I even put out a call on Cupcake Project's Facebook page seeking ideas; check them out and you'll see that most people suggested patriotic or red, white, and blue cupcakes – not cupcakes using specific local flavors.
After much thought, a visit to the Dupont Circle farmers' market (an easy walk from our condo), and an inspired idea by Elizabeth (the girlfriend of one of my husband's oldest friends), I decided to go with a cupcake that provided some snarky political commentary. Mixing politics and cupcakes can be dangerous, but I hope you enjoyed the choice I made.
Although I bake and eat a lot of cupcakes, I strongly believe that our schools should be teaching children about healthy eating and real food.
If you haven't already seen it, Jamie Oliver's TED talk about our ignorance regarding food is a must watch. To see what our kids are actually eating, I'd also recommend the The School Lunch Project where a blogger and now author of Fed Up With Lunch went undercover eating and blogging about school lunches.
About The Cupcakes
The cupcakes shown in the photos are honey cupcakes made with both honey and honey-flavored Greek yogurt. They were the best honey cupcakes I have made to date. I rolled them crushed kale chips (I used Russian red kale, which is smaller than most supermarket kale varieties) as a joke. However, they actually ended up tasting quite good. If you try them, serve within a couple of hours or the kale chips will get too soggy and affect the flavor of the frosting.

Despite what looks like a screenshot from the game, above, the E-motion concept car is not available to drive in Gran Turismo 5. It's not even a real car.
It's instead one of the best fan projects I've ever seen for a game. Four French designers have teamed up to design the vehicle, which they've (virtually) built from the ground up, engineering a car that would be able to "change its mass distribution during the race... if you are in a turn, in a straight line or breaking phase".
In other words, morph and transform depending on how fast you were driving and how you were handling the car.
It looks like it'd be fast as all hell, too. Powered by a battery and weighing almost nothing, it would fly around the track, with performance the designers say would be a "compromise between a kart and a F1".
If, you know. The car actually existed.
The idea of putting non-existent cars inside Gran Turismo isn't new — the X-1 being perhaps the most notable example — so maybe developers Polyphony cold help these guys out.
The team responsible were Frédéric Le Sciellour (manager), Jérémy Sachot (industrial designer), Ishak Belhout (industrial designer) and Julien Ancery (digital designer).

Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg may have irritated a nerve in his right arm using an electrical stimulation machine.
The machines are used by athletes to build strength and are attached with adhesive electrodes. Manager Davey Johnson said the device could have been placed too close to a nerve in Strasburg's pitching arm, leading to discomfort in Monday night's start against the Atlanta Braves.
Johnson said the Nationals do not expect Strasburg to have continued problems with the irritated nerve but it was too early to determine whether Strasburg will make his next scheduled start Saturday at Pittsburgh. The manager wants to see how the right-hander throws in a bullpen session.
"I think it will settle down by the time he throws his side," Johnson said. "I think Strasburg feels a lot better about it. So do I."
Strasburg frequently shook his right arm while pitching six innings and allowing two runs in the Nationals' 3-2 loss Monday night.
Johnson said after the game Strasburg "doesn't look right to me." The manager said he was concerned Monday because Strasburg struggled with his control while walking four batters and shook his arm so often between pitches.
"He always does this a little bit, but it was so pronounced yesterday, it really worried me," Johnson said Tuesday. "But he feels all right about it so I feel all right about it."
Asked after the game why he was shaking his arm, Strasburg said "You just try to stay loose."
Strasburg insisted Monday "I'm not missing my next start. I'll tell you that right now."
He had lost a career-worst four straight starts before pitching six innings and getting a no-decision Monday night. He is 1-4 with a 3.13 ERA.
Strasburg struck out the side in the sixth inning, giving him eight strikeouts for the game.
The right-hander was examined by a doctor after the game but the Nationals said he was not given additional tests Tuesday.
"The way he finished off the sixth was pretty impressive, and the doctor didn't think anything was wrong, so that's good," Johnson said.
Washington held out right fielder Jayson Werth on Tuesday, a day after Werth crumpled to the ground when he fouled a ball off his left foot in the eighth inning. He completed his at-bat and was replaced in right field by Roger Bernadina in the bottom half.
Werth said he also struggled with a tight right hamstring on Monday night.
"I'm not too worried about it," he said of his injuries.
Tyler Moore started in left, with Bryce Harper shifting to right.

Car has retained the services of Traveling Light Media to make and
produce Champ Car specials for TV. The TV product Champ Car has
had the last few years has been at times dreadful and the series TV
ratings suffered because of it. In that regard, Traveling Light
Media is just what the doctor ordered for Champ Car - a company that
will create TV programming that will take Champ Car up close and
personal with the race fans.
We talked to President Adam
Friedman at his offices in California.
How did you and Champ Car
get to know each other?
I've always been a fan. In the '70s I raced Formula Fords and became a
huge Champ Car fan when Nigel Mansell came into the series. I thought
what he brought to the series was much needed -- an international
presence. And in fact, it produced some of the best racing I've ever
Being from Pittsburgh, I was pretty close to Chip Ganassi and '96,'97
and '98 were some of my favorite years in Champ Car as I got to hang out
with Jimmy and Alex.
It was also around that time that I saw how deficient the series was in
how it was presented on TV and in the print media. I screamed and
shouted, but not very many people listened to me.
All that changed when Kevin Kalkhoven, Jerry Forsythe and Dick Eidswick
came on board. We may not always agree, but they always are willing to
listen. And while I'm not always right about Champ Car and its relation
to the various media, I'm not often wrong.
Have you worked with
Champ Car before?
In April, 2004, Kevin and
Dick asked me to put together some commercial promos for Spike. We wrote
them, shot them and the result, we thought, was pretty spectacular.
Ryan Hunter-Reay driving a 750 hp Champ Car through Times Square seemed
to us to be the perfect synthesis of a modern urban setting and the raw
power and beauty of a Champ Car.
What will be your
relationship with Molstar?
This year we will be working
closely with Champ Car and Molstar to create programming as well as promos
that tell the Champ Car story. We've done a commercial that invokes the
history of Champ Car (Since Forever is the name of the spot) and have
just finished "Champ Car Experience," a humorous take on a civilian
driving Paul Tracy's Lola. All of this will be towards making Champ Car
more accessible to a wider audience, as well as selling that unique
combination of technology and speed that is Champ Car. People have heard
that terrible sound like a vacuum cleaner full of marbles that is the
IRL and Grand Am and have turned it off in droves. When they hear the
sound of a Champ Car, they are hooked for life.
Who will you be working with?
At Champ Car, we work very closely with Dick Eidswick, Joe Chrnelich and
Steve Schunk. Dick is wonderful to work with because if there is
something about racing that is new to him, he comes right out and asks
about it. On the other hand, what he does know about is business. And
it's good to know there is an experienced hand on the tiller. Joe
Chrnelich is a marketing genius and he understands that marketing must
be television driven. Steve Schunk gives Champ Car a strong PR presence.
I like the whole team. And that's rare.
Have you made any new
hires for this project?
I'm also very pleased to
announce that Gordon Kirby, one of the great writers of auto sports and
the American editor of Autosport Magazine for the last 32 years, is
coming over to Traveling Light. His expertise, knowledge and insight are
On the production side, I'm bringing in Jason Markham, a driver and a
true gearhead who has worked with me on many auto racing projects for
the last 12 years.
Of course, my crew at Traveling Light will be the core contingent of the
Champ Car experience and without them, this would all remain a wisp of a
notion on someone's drawing board. We can't wait to start racing.
Adam Friedman Bio (So you
understand what a versatile guy Champ Car has helping them)
Producer ~ Director ~ Writer
Adam Friedman, American University School of Communication graduate,
founded Traveling Light Media in February of 2002. His two-hour A&E
Biography on John Travolta that same year tripled the usual audience,
giving A&E its highest ratings in years. The program was nominated for
Outstanding Non-Fiction Series and Adam for Best Director at the 2003
Emmy Awards. This year the riveting and poignant documentary The Crash
of Flight 191 received some of the highest ratings ever for The History
Channel. Adam recently wrote and directed three cutting-edge promos for
Spike-TV involving a 750 horsepower racecar circling the streets of
Times Square. Adam also produced, wrote, and directed the feature film
"and she was…." The film stars Patrick Warburton (Seinfeld) and
Oscar-nominated Brad Dourif (One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Lord Of
The Rings).
"I just adored it…utterly charming and original, completely endearing.
This film says so much about celebrity and how quickly we forget."
- Jeffrey Lyons-WNBC-TV
Adam began his career by convincing ABC Television to let him direct a
documentary entitled Wolves In Winter, about jazz musician Paul Winter
and his conservation efforts on behalf of wolves. Wolves In Winter was
nominated for three Emmy Awards. His next directing effort, Color Me
Blue won him his first Emmy Award.
Expanding his horizons, Adam jumped into the world of MUSIC VIDEOS. His
work with The Rolling Stones, Daryl Hall and John Oates and Jean Luc
Ponty and the Joffrey Ballet, among many others, defined the cutting
edge of the genre. His Rolling Stones, Emotional Rescue video was part
of the Whitney Biennial, and his video for the Rap group Whodini, Big
Mouth, is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
After creating and directing more than 40 music videos Adam directed his
first feature film: Medium Straight.
"Medium Straight was the major surprise hit of our line-up. . .
Receiving a crowd response unlike anything we saw in the other festival
screenings which included Spike Lee's Mo' Better Blues, and Charles
Burnett's To Sleep With Anger."
- Darryl MacDonald, Director, Seattle Film Festival
In 1990 Adam started his own production company, Perpetual Motion Films,
after producing and directing the award-winning series Air Combat and
Masters of War, he produced over 120 hours of documentary programming
including the CINE Golden Eagle Award nominated Kevin Costner Biography
and 10 EPIC BIOGRAPHIES for A&E's BIOGRAPHY SERIES. This work resulted
in Biography winning a Cable Ace Award for best documentary series. The
Michelangelo, George Washington and Ben Franklin Biographies have been
number 1 or 2 atop the Amazon.com documentary sales charts for over 10
years now. His 9-year old daughter, however, still prefers Pocahontas.
In 2000 Adam formed Traveling Light Media – and the rise has been
meteoric. Starting with the Emmy nominated A&E John Travolta Biography
and a series for The History Channel, Probable Cause. Adam and TLM have
been able to provide quality programming for a number of networks such
as HBO, Spike TV, A&E, The Travel Channel, The History Channel, Court
TV, and Discovery. And under his Mercury Films banner, Adam has acquired
the rights to Joe R. Lansdale's powerful coming of age story, A Fine
Dark Line.

(Free for iOS and Android)
What it is: An app to book a shared ride to or from the airport on Super Shuttle or a private ride on ExecuCar. Super Shuttle serves more than 60 U.S. airports, including New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Orlando, Tampa, Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles. You also can book a ride to airports near Paris and Cancun, Mexico.
How it works: You launch the app and book a one-way or round trip to or from the airport.
Why it's great: The app makes it easy to book Super Shuttle or ExecuCar. You save $2 by booking via the app or online, because Super Shuttle charges $2 for phone reservations. The "Where's my vehicle?" feature shows you where your van is and provides a time estimate until pickup when you are going to the airport. Super Shuttle says the app eventually will have this feature for rides from the airport. You can easily enter credit card info, discount codes and frequent-flier info to score miles or points on Delta, Frontier, Southwest, United and US Airways.
Why you might hesitate: There's an occasional glitch with the saved-credit-card feature that requires you to re-enter information.
(Free for iOS and Android phones)
What it is: A popular app for customizing and sharing photos and videos across social networks including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr, Foursquare and email.
How it works: You launch Instagram and shoot a photo or video for sharing, or you import an image or a video as long as 15 seconds. You then fine-tune images and video with custom filters before sharing. When the app is first installed, you must give it permission to access your Facebook, Twitter and other social media accounts.
Why it's great: If you are active on social media, Instagram makes it easy to craft a single post to share an image or video over multiple social networks. It's time-consuming to craft individual tweets and updates. Even if you only want to share images by email, Instagram offers 19 custom filter effects that can turn a snapshot into an artsy image. The video feature includes built-in stabilization that really improves video on the fly. I wish it could steady imported videos too.
Why you might hesitate: Videos are limited to 15 seconds. The Viddy and YouTube apps let you share longer videos.
(Free for iOS)
What it is: An app to find, interview and book a dog-sitter in most large U.S. cities. Booking through the app provides complimentary pet insurance and round-the-clock customer support.
How it works: You provide details about your dog and upload a photo. After searching for sitters nearby, you can propose a meet and greet or ask questions via the app. I'm a cat owner, so I used Athena, my niece, to test the app for her dog. When a question was asked, a response came in less than 24 hours.
Why it's great: This app makes it easy to find a good dog-sitter. Filters sort sitters by their availability on your vacation dates, recommendations, the size of their home and yard, price, whether or not they have dogs, etc. Some sitters offer to let you Skype with your pet. Several sitters note that they also watch cats and other animals. The app promises a response in 24 to 72 hours. Some of these sitters sound like so much fun that your dog may have a better vacation than you do.

Oct. 9, 2002 — EBay officials say they are aggressively fighting fraud in the massive online marketplace, but an investigation by MSNBC.com shows that the company doesn't routinely inform customers when they have been ripped off or regularly notify law enforcement about apparently illegal activity on its site — even when presented with solid evidence of wrongdoing. The review of two-dozen cases also raises questions about how eBay measures fraud and lends credence to accusations that the company has adopted an especially laissez-faire attitude toward sins by profit-driving "power sellers," whose fees are crucial to its bottom line.
The investigation grew out of a series of complaints from disgruntled eBay users who wrote to MSNBC.com in response to previous articles on fraud on the No. 1 online auction site. The specifics varied widely, but the underlying charge was remarkably constistent: Fraud complaints filed with eBay rarely trigger any disciplinary action against sellers, even when accompanied by extensive documentation of wrongdoing.
Many of the complaints were directed at "power sellers" - vendors who do at least $2,000 of business on eBay each month - and suggested that the company was looking the other way while the big fish violated its rules and the law.
Rosalinda Baldwin, editor of TAG Notes, an online newsletter published by the watchdog group The Auction Guild, said she regularly hears the same refrain from her readers.
'Ebay doesn't care'
"The only ones getting hurt are the buyers, and eBay doesn't care," she said.
EBay acknowledges that it doesn't automatically suspend the cheating sellers it catches, saying the punishment depends on its assessment of whether there is a pattern of misconduct as well as other factors. But at the same time, senior company officials insist that it is taking a more aggressive stance in combating fraud.
"We are more actively involved in preventing fraud on the eBay site and cancel a number of auctions proactively, and even contact bidders after an auction to warn them if we suspect a problem," Rob Chestnut, a former federal prosecutor who is now the company's point man on fraud, assured customers in a recent email chat.
With eBay declining to make public whatever evidence that might prove or disprove the charges, citing privacy concerns, MSNBC.com turned to eBay's critics and asked them to provide a substantial sampling of alleged fraud cases for independent review.
To test the perception that the company is more likely to ignore complaints directed at power sellers, the review focused on fraud claims leveled against peddlers who either are members of the rewards program or sellers who meet the sales requirement and could join if they wanted.
Many complaints merely suspicious
Most of the complaints alleging shill or phantom bidding, misrepresentation of items, non-delivery of purchases and "feedback building" - manipulation of eBay's unique system for measuring reputation - detailed suspicious behavior but lacked the hard evidence necessary to conclude that eBay was ignoring misconduct.
But in four of the cases that were submitted, the evidence that illicit or criminal activity had occurred appeared particularly strong.
Three of the cases alleged phantom bidding - identical to shill bidding, but perpetrated by an individual rather than co-conspirators. The fourth was more elaborate: an alleged philatelic fraud ring in which collectible postage stamps were being altered and resold at a substantial profit.
EBay's response in each instance was apparently inconsistent with its repeated statements that fraud will not be tolerated in the "safe and happy trading place":
In the case of a Florida power seller who used identical contact information on both the eBay user ID he was using to peddle sports memorabilia and the ID he was using for phantom bidding, a member of eBay's "Safe Harbor" fraud-fighting team found there was "insufficient evidence" to take action. After a second complaint was filed, a representative of eBay's power seller program phoned the seller and warned him not to do it again, but did not suspend his account or notify a buyer who paid at least $200 more for an item than he would have if the phantom bidding hadn't occurred.
In the other two phantom bidding cases, eBay suspended the sellers, but only for 24 hours and 48 hours, respectively, according to the complainants. One of those who was suspended, a high-volume ticket broker who wasn't a power seller at the time, joined the program shortly after the suspension ended, one of the complainants charged.
In a case in which postage stamps were allegedly being altered to increase their value and then resold "as is," eBay took no action to halt the auctions despite receiving a litany of complaints from a group of stamp experts who assembled detailed evidence on the purported scam.
No hint law enforcement notified
There was nothing to indicate that law enforcement was notified in any of the cases, although phantom bidding and the sale of altered stamps would violate state and federal criminal fraud statutes and constitute fraud under civil law, in the opinion of Steve Proffitt, a Virginia attorney who specializes in auction law.
MSNBC.com's review also calls into question the validity of eBay's oft-reported fraud rate of 0.01 of all transactions, an internal measurement based on insurance claims filed with the company. None of the four cases in question would be included in that figure because no claims were filed.
Company officials said Chestnut, the head of eBay's anti-fraud team, was too busy for an interview to discuss the cases.
But eBay spokesman Kevin Pursglove said that company investigators had reviewed the complaints and "are comfortable that they were handled correctly." He did not dispute the facts of the cases as presented by the complainants.
While declining to comment on the specifics of the cases because of privacy concerns, Pursglove said that fraud complaints are considered on a "case-by-case basis" and do not always result in punishment, depending on whether investigators find a pattern of misconduct.
He also said that decisions on whether to notify buyers who purchased items in fraud-tainted auctions or to alert law enforcement to potentially criminal misconduct are made only after studying the circumstances. Among the factors that are weighed, he said, are whether the bidder demonstrated that he or she "valued that item at a particular price" by continuing to bid in the face of phony counterbids and whether law enforcement would be likely to pursue the case.
Authorities would be 'annoyed'
"We've been doing this for a long time and have developed a lot of relationships with both state and federal law enforcement agencies, and I think we've got a pretty good idea what cases are going to be prosecuted," Pursglove said. "I think some law enforcement officials would be annoyed with eBay if we passed on every shill that we came across."
That contention was supported by a Justice Department official who has been involved in numerous investigations of online auction fraud. The official, who spoke with MSNBC.com on condition of anonymity, indicated that eBay has been "very responsive" in cooperating with federal authorities and has approached law enforcement agencies to request that criminal investigations be initiated.
"EBay would be happy if every instance where they thought fraud was involved would be picked up by law enforcement," the official said.
That view draws a derisive laugh from "Ron," a former eBay Safe Harbor employee, who said that the fraud reports often are subjected to only a cursory check. He said the odds that a report will be ignored are especially high if the culprits are power sellers, who in recent years have assumed an increasingly important role in fueling eBay's amazing financial growth.
"Power sellers get their hands slapped, other users get suspended," said Ron, who spoke with MSNBC.com on condition he not be identified by his real name.
Part of the problem is that members of the Safe Harbor team are overwhelmed by the volume of complaints, he said.
'I wasn't allowed to do that'
But he also said that the company makes it clear that power sellers are not to be trifled with.
"I suspended (a power seller) who had over 1,200 auctions going on … after I found over 47 emails the guy was using to shill his auctions," he said. "To put it bluntly, the s—- hit the fan. I got a call … saying I wasn't allowed to do that anymore."
Pursglove said he could not comment on the allegation without knowing the details of the incident — which could not be provided without identifying the former employee — but he vigorously denied that power sellers receive preferential treatment.
"The process we use (in investigating fraud complaints) is exactly the same," he said. "If the fraud complaint is confirmed, we will kick them out of the power seller program immediately as well as suspend their account. … And if the act was intentional, that suspension will be permanent."
But eBay's critics say that the exceptions to that policy are too numerous to count.
"One would think that most companies would favor their best customers — that's a normal thing to do," said Baldwin, the editor of the The Auction Guild newsletter. "But they shouldn't be allowing them to get away with things that others can't."

More than a thousand photo workshops are offered each year on every conceivable aspect of photography. If you want to learn how to use masks in imaging programs or do lighting for portraits it's fairly easy to choose one because those are highly specific subjects. It becomes more difficult, though, if you want to attend a workshop that will help you improve your picture taking ability by teaching you to think and see creatively.
Some "workshops" are just get-togethers where photographers gather at a location for a weekend and shoot away. These can be a lot of fun but you may not learn as much as you'd like because it's more of a social event than a learning experience.
Others are "photo op" workshops where locations (and shooting viewpoints) are pre-chosen to make sure everyone gets perfect pictures. Unfortunately, with everyone taking almost-identical shots, it's a stretch to claim that you did anything more than click the shutter along with dozens of others.
Even if you enroll in a workshop where your group goes to a location and you have more time to meander around, there's always a lot of pressure to conform to what others are shooting or to the personal tastes of an instructor who might promote certain kinds of images.
I hate group-shoot workshops because I've seen how it can stifle creativity and actually prevent you from learning how to develop the "seeing" skills needed for individual expression. For example, if everyone's shooting a subject from nearly the same point of view, there's pressure to do the same rather than take your time to come up with something different.
More than ten years ago, I rejected that concept when I put together our first workshop. I'd had years of previous experience as a photographer and had also taught photography at domestic and foreign universities where I had developed a technique that allowed students to improve their photography rapidly in both the short and long term. And I'd come to the conclusion that:
If you're serious about developing photographic skills that will allow you to begin creating dynamic images that are uniquely yours, you need to learn to wing it on your own.
That's the kind of workshop we give and the results are remarkable. All pictures at the links below were shot by attendees during our workshop without an instructor present. After just two days of classes, they began to "get it" and then go on to shoot images they never thought they could create.
How do we do it? To begin with we don't waste a lot of time with simple things that can be learned before the workshop begins. All attendees receive a short list that explains essential camera functions they should be familiar with before they arrive.
Next, we've set up a special web site with ten lessons on basic photography that include shooting exercises. It's optional, of course, but it's available in advance to attendees who want to become familiar with different types of photography or brush up on certain techniques.
Classes are structured so that attendees get a mix of both dynamic presentations and hands-on experience. They are able to immediately use what they learn in class and apply it to images they'll be taking as the workshop progresses. It is this relationship between what's learned in class and how that knowledge can rapidly be applied that results in images that become more imaginative and powerful each day.
The most valuable and enjoyable aspect of the workshop are the viewing sessions when instructors comment on work that's been shot, and questions and answers fly back and forth. This process is critical to rapid learning. By having their work and that of others reviewed, and by listening to the instructor's technical and esthetic advice, attendees begin to develop a knowledge base that's invaluable and which can be applied to all future pictures they'll shoot.
When the workshop ends, attendees have acquired a portfolio of many beautiful images that are uniquely theirs. They are encouraged to keep in touch by email if they have any questions. Best of all, they've learned how to "see" and, at the same time, have acquired creative methods they can use to keep improving long after the workshop is over.
If you're serious about becoming a better photographer, this is the kind of workshop you should choose. Learn more about our DSLR Photography Workshop Cruise here.

The OCZ Octane 512GB offers high capacity, SATA 6Gbps performance, but at what price?
So you want a high performance solid state drive? For goodness sake get something with a SandForce SSD controller.
That's the prevailing wisdom the new OCZ Octane 512GB must dismantle if it's to succeed.
SandForce's second generation SF-2000 family of controllers has been a big hit despite early concerns over stability issues.
In fact, OCZ has itself used the SF-2281 in a number of drives including the OCZ Vertex 3 240GB and OCZ Agility 3 240GB. Plenty of other popular drives, including the Corsair Force 3 120GB, also pack SandForce technology.
But choice is a fine thing, so we're pleased and impressed in equal measure to find OCZ has come up with something unique for the new OCZ Octane 512GB and indeed the rest of the new Octane and Petrol SSD families.
That's right, by way of first acquiring SSD controller specialist Indilinx OCZ has produced its very own SSD controller, known as the Everest.

A Far North inventor can thank his ridiculously steep section for inspiring a unique business venture - a motorised wheelbarrow.
Steve Baldry lives at Totara North, by the Whangaroa Harbour, on a precipitous section with no vehicle access. Sick of lugging anything and everything uphill to his home, he invented an electric wheelbarrow to do the hard yards for him.
It proved such a boon at home he was amazed to find no one else had patented, or was making, electric wheelbarrows. He set up a company, Yardlab, won an international patent and set about filling the gap in the market.
"I came up with the concept model at home, and got so excited about it I just had to keep going. It seemed such a basic thing I was surprised no one else had patented it."
The former earthworks contractor built the prototypes in his Kaitaia workshop and, after two years of testing and refining, commercial production started at New Zealand Wheelbarrows in Thames last December.
His electric barrow comes in three models aimed at home gardeners, tradesmen and brickies, and is powered by a 48 volt, 500 watt hub motor with a plug-in charger.
It is controlled by a thumb throttle and has regenerative braking, so applying the brake while carting loads downhill recharges the battery.
With the motor off, it freewheels like an ordinary wheelbarrow.
Most of his sales so far had been in the South Island. Mr Baldry said some councils were interested because of health and safety rules limiting the loads workers were allowed to carry, and orders were pending across the Tasman.
However, if business took off in Australia, production would have to shift to China.
The barrow retails for just over $1000 with about 60 sold so far.

ZakiPoint - bringing intelligence to point problems
I am an entrepreneur with passion for solving problems using data. I have build technology driven businesses in the past.
I am launching a new business that is looking to combine intelligent analysis of data about consumers to solve point problems. Initially I will be providing consulting and advisory support. The goal is to turn that eventually into a product driven business.
I am particularly keen to take a bold approach to communicating the value of my new venture and services to prospective clients. Seth Godin's book on Purple Cow resonates with me. With the cluttered world around us, we need to stand out like a purple cow.
Zaki means Intelligent in Arabic. The addition of Point is to help client focus on a point problem that can be solved with intelligent analysis. My premise is that there is tremendous amount of data captured by businesses, but rarely analyzed or combined to solve point problems.
Executives of businesses, Sales and Marketing directors, CEOs of small and medium businesses and sometimes director of new proposition in larger companies.
These prospective customers are largely in the US and UK, but may well be in Asia & Europe.
The name ZakiPoint combines Intelligent & Point. The logo should try to bring out this two theme name
Logo should communicate: boldness, creativity, professionalism and clear thinking.
It should also communicate "premium" brand, but no nonsense approach.
- Simple logo that brings the two words together or the emphasis of zaki and point
- font that is speedy and bold in feeling
Dont like:
gimmicky or cartoony figures
The logo should work well online and print. Particularly in social media where I will promote our thought leadership in forums like Twitter, LinkedIN, quora etc.
Some logos that I like:

Salma in a bikini
Mexico and St Barts seem to be the popular warm holiday season destinations for celebrities this year and Salma Hayek is there now with daughter Valentina and husband Francois Henri Pinault. Here she is yesterday on the beach showing off some tight curves. You know, I thought her tits would be crazier when they're let loose in a bikini. I guess it's because they're usually mashed together in a dress.
Salma and family were also seen hanging out with Jason Statham and his gf Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. There's an entire industry that lives off of Statham's stunt films. I've never seen a single one. But they all seem to look the same. He wears shades. He's impassive and speaks in monosyllables and drives fast. Things get shot up. What am I missing?

Utah man found guilty of teen babysitter's murder
OGDEN, Utah (AP) -- It took a Utah jury just two hours to find a man guilty of killing a teenage baby sitter and dumping her body in the woods after prosecutors say he gave her a lethal dose of drugs during a night of sex that also included the man's wife.
Eric Millerberg, 38, faces up to life in prison after being convicted Friday of child abuse homicide, unlawful sexual contact with a minor, obstruction of justice and desecration of a dead body in the 2011 death of 16-year-old Alexis Rasmussen.
Sentencing was set for March 18.
During a three-day trial, prosecutors brought detectives, medical examiners, prisoners and Millerberg's wife, Dea Millerberg, to the stand to show that he recklessly injected Rasmussen with lethal doses of heroin and methamphetamine.
Prosecutors told jurors that Eric Millerberg and his wife then dumped Rasmussen's body in the woods of northern Utah and lied to police as the girl's mother desperately searched for her for more than a month.
Dea Millerberg, 40, is awaiting her own trial in April on charges of desecration of a body. She testified against her husband.
Family and friends of Rasmussen cried when the verdict was read. It was emotional for family and friends that dearly miss Rasmussen and have been waiting more than two years for this day, said Scott Rudd, the victim's uncle.
"We are extremely thrilled about it. It helps with a little closure," Rudd said. "But the fact of the matter is we still don't have Lexi."
Weber County Attorney Dee Smith said the case hit home not only with Rasmussen's family and friends, but police officers and prosecutors who worked the case since she went missing. The teenager was missing for 38 days until her body was found.
The verdict showed the jury had little doubt about Eric Millerberg's guilt, Smith said.
"It's not going to change what happened, it's not going to bring her back," Smith said. "But it's important for the family to know the person responsible is being held accountable and will spend a significant time in prison."
Eric Millerberg's attorney, Randall Marshall, told reporters his client was disappointed. Marshall said he expected guilty verdicts on some charges, "but I was a little disappointed in some of it."
Smith had started his closing argument Friday by showing the jury a picture of a smiling Rasmussen holding her little sister about one year before her death. Then, he showed a picture of her dead body covered by a muddy piece of foam in the woods of northern Utah.
Smith said the Millerbergs dumped her there, "discarded like a piece of trash," and then lied to police for more than a month about her whereabouts.
Smith called Eric Millerberg's actions with Rasmussen deplorable, saying he had supplied her with drugs and had sex on previous occasions as well, later bragging to fellow prisoners that he partied with teenage girls. Smith reminded the jury that laws exist to protect teens who are prone to experimenting and making mistakes when they aren't with their parents.
"Ordinary people don't inject little girls with heroin and methamphetamine," Smith said, later adding: "You don't have sex with 16-year-olds when you're a month away from turning 36. You don't look for dates with juniors in high school."
Marshall argued that the case against Eric Millerberg is based on lies by Dea Millerberg meant to protect herself. He reminded jurors that she struggled to remember details during cross-examination about the night of Rasmussen's death.
"Dea Millerberg told a great story, but it doesn't add up," Marshall said.
He said there's no evidence, other than Dea Millerberg's account, to prove Eric Millerberg injected Rasmussen with the drugs.
"How do we know Dea didn't shoot her up?" Marshall said.
He reminded jurors that the state medical examiner stopped short of declaring Rasmussen's cause of death was a drug overdose. Marshall also suggested to the jury that Dea Millerberg was responsible for the death and recruited her husband to help her dump the body.
Earlier Friday, an assistant medical examiner, Joseph White, testified that Rasmussen had seven times the lethal amount of methamphetamine in her system and high levels of morphine and amphetamines, and that likely caused her death.
"These are obviously significant results," White said. "Certainly, enough to explain the death."
But White said he couldn't rule out other possibilities such as strangulation, stabbing or blunt-force trauma because the girl's body was badly decomposed.
Rasmussen's body was found in a remote, wooded area in Weber County.
"It's a foul circumstance, and it seemed clear that somebody else was involved," White said, while later adding, "I felt it was most intellectually honest to list the cause and manner (of death) as undetermined."
Defense attorneys didn't bring any witnesses to the stand during trial, and Eric Millerberg also declined to testify.
He sat with his attorneys during the trial wearing glasses, and a suit and tie that largely hid his array of neck and arm tattoos. He occasionally spoke to his attorneys but remained largely stoic.
Family and friends of Rasmussen filled the front row of the gallery, carefully listening to testimony as they whispered to each other. Rasmussen's mother cried during the prosecution's closing arguments.

Being Scene
Workman Arts Presents: The 13th Annual Being Scene Juried Exhibition
Produced by Workman Arts for CAMH
Workman Arts is pleased to present the 13th Annual BEING SCENE Juried Exhibition featuring an exhilarating showcase of 54 new works by 31 artists as selected by a distinguished jury including Sarah Milroy (a Toronto-based art critic and writer, and regular contributor to The Globe and Mail, Canadian Art, Border Crossings and Walrus), Noa Bronstein (director of exhibitions at Gladstone Hotel) and long-time Workman Arts' member and former artist-in-residence, Jan Swinburne.
BEING SCENE is an annual juried exhibition produced by Workman Arts for the Center for Addiction and Mental Health. Since its inception in 2000, BEING SCENE has successfully introduced the work of hundreds of artists who have lived experience with mental illness and addiction issues, presenting a cross-cultural portrait of the healing power of art in order to build a more respectful and realistic understanding of those recovering from mental illness and addiction.
BEING SCENE has partnered with some of the city's leading artistic and cultural figures. Among those who have been instrumental in helping BEING SCENE grow into its incredible success are the late artist and educator Lupe Rodriguez, Gillian McIntyre of the AGO, Mary Sue Rankin of the Edward Day Gallery, David Liss of MOCCA and Anna Hudson of Canadian Art. As a result, BEING SCENE has evolved to occupy a significant role in Toronto's cultural landscape, and work originally exhibited primarily on CAMH grounds has gone on to hang at other venues such as the Lieutenant Governor's Suite at Queen's Park in Toronto, and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.
