Monday Conversation: Kevin Windham
Monday, December 10, 2012 | 10:20 AMIf you're going to talk to Kevin Windham, come armed with a recorder. Small talk to him sounds like poetry to us. For example, when we called him to get some analysis of the Phoenix Supercross track for the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross program, we ended up drifting to a variety of other topics, each one loaded with insight. It got so good that we just kept recording and made it this week's Monday Conversation!
Racer X: Hey K-Dub I need to talk to you about the Phoenix SX for the program.
Kevin Windham: Oh yeah, Phoenix has been a good town for me, really. It wasn't as talked about like the transfers of today, but that was the first place I ever did a transfer. Great town, great energy there.
Whoa, whoa, the transfer started in Phoenix?
So do you actually remember what year it was?
Not sure, but I think it was '08.
You've been doing the transfers for that long? Four years?
Yeah! It hadn't caught on yet like it has now, but I remember that first one pretty well. If I saw the blueprints of each year's Phoenix track I could show you what year it was, and exactly what I did. But now I might have to find a way to tone these transfers down. The ones I've been doing recently, they're probably averaging 70 feet, so that's basically bigger than any obstacle on the track, and I'm doing it in the dark!
After a big crash a the Monster Energy Cup Windham took five weeks off.

Yeah you've kind of set yourself into a bad position now.
It scared me when I wanted to talk to Feld about it one year and they said, "If you crash and get hurt in opening ceremonies, here is how we're going to handle it." They had to put a whole plan together to figure out what would happen if I got hurt! I figure you could just keep the lights turned off and no one would really see what was going on.
[Laughs] Was that first one in '08 pretty lame compared to what you're doing now?
In my head it was so gnarly but it was a joke compared to the ones I'm doing now!
Hey so how are you doing? Last time we saw you, you had a big crash at Monster Energy Cup.
I took five weeks off. I was kind of bummed with the level of the crash and the injuries I sustained from it. I've had crashes where I thought I should have just died, and I get up and everything is okay. Everyone knows why I'm out here at this point in my career, and when I go from a crash at Houston that takes me out for awhile, and then a crash at Vegas that takes me out again, everyone starts to wonder if I should still be doing this anymore. And I certainly understand that, and I've had to think about it myself. I've just got to find some consistency and keep it on two wheels. And in supercross, it seems like stuff can just happen at anytime. So I had to think about it quite a bit, and in the end, I realized the thing to do is not really overanalyze it.
How did you feel once you started riding again?
Once I got back on, I was happy with my cardio, because I've hooked up with a good group of guys back here at home to do some road bicycling. So I was good there. I felt good on the bike, so I don't think the time off really set me back or anything as far as how I will feel when the season begins.
How's the 2013 Honda? I know at Monster Cup you had just gotten on it, but you felt the transition would go smoothly.
The transition was great, which is good because I'm almost ready to go racing right now, and we still have time. Also, I ended up back near a '12 spec with the settings, and that usually doesn't happen when you have a new bike. It usually takes a long time to figure out where you need to be and what you want it to do. At this point in my career I wasn't looking forward to a whole new transition, so I'm happy the new bike felt so much like the other one. I look forward to that being the last of those transitions for my career. I don't anticipate the '14 being that much different!

Okay, so through all this, the retire-after-2014-goal is still there.
The '14 goal is still there. When you get to a certain level of you career, everyone is saying, "Whenever you decide it's time to go, you can go." There are certain people on the team who are my bosses, but they're my friends, and they'll even say, "We're tired of seeing you hit the ground. Maybe you need to just stop the 2014 thing and just end it at 2012!" But I feel good, I still feel competitive, and I still feel I may have wins left in me. I really love what I'm doing so I don't want to stop. I tell the people around me there are basically three things I don't like with my career right now: First, new kids coming in and being fast, which could make me not competitive. Second is getting hurt. And then the third thing are those carts at the airport!
You know those carts, Weege. You're walking to your gate and they come charging up behind you, beeping the horn, and almost take you down. And half the time, they'll go flying past you just to stop short at the next gate, and then I'm almost running right into them! It's like they start needing to get out of the way of the walker.
[Laughs] And what I don't get is, what are the standards for getting in those things? I've seen the widest variety of people riding in those carts.
Right. Look, I understand someone who is elderly and will have a tough time getting to their gate on time. But nine times out of ten the guy getting a ride looks like a running back for the Saints.
[Laughs] And where do they stage those things? I've never seen the cart parking lot, or even a place where you can go sign up for one. They just seem to come out of nowhere in the middle of the hallway.
I think what it is, is when you're booking a flight, you need to check that box that says special needs. I think we have to start checking that and we can get a ride to the gate.
And I like that because I'm sure they don't even charge you for it. It's like free valet.
If I could figure out how to get on those carts I might be able to race until '16.
[Laughs] This is good stuff. Seriously how is the riding going?
I just got back from California where I got to ride with my GEICO Honda teammates. And even though they're on 250Fs, they are going fast. I'm happy where I'm at. Also, I got to ride with the 41, Trey Canard, and that was good. I feel good about my riding and where I stack up, I just need to be consistent and keep it on two wheels. But I have additional goals; it's not all about winning. I'm just building a legacy, and trying to enjoy this incredible journey I'm on. You get to the point where you want to give back to the fans, help make future fans, really just be good to the sport.
Windham still plans to race another two years.
Simon Cudby photo
Well, yeah, we know your goals might be different than most others, but at the same time, you've maintained that you won't do this just to say you did it. You're not going to keep racing if all you can do is scratch out a top ten, or just make the main event.
Yeah, I am a racer. You have to stay competitive. And today, the difference between a win and a tenth, it could be something out of your control. When all the guys are on their game, it's tough, everyone is so close and pushing it so hard. But I'm not going to go out there and just be pumped to make the mains. I've seen riders push way past the point where they should be retired, and that's not a good place to be. If I get to that point, I'll know. By now, with my age, we're getting to the point where we are in uncharted waters, but luckily one of the only guys who has ever been there, as far as the number of main events, and the age, is Mike LaRocco, and he's the team manager over here right by my side. So I have some good guidance there. And I feel like I have something left. You know, at Monster Cup, the champion [Ryan Villopoto] crashed as well and basically had the same thing happen to him as happen to me. So it can happen to anyone. But everytime something bad happens to me, I start over thinking if I should be doing this anymore. It's weird too, I have a meeting today. I started doing some other stuff, some investments, and they're taking off. The plan was to really focus on these once the racing career ended, but they've just been growing almost out of control. I really don't have time for two jobs right now! We just opened our third Planet Fitness health club, and it looks like I'll be up to five soon. You know, throughout your life you end up seeing a lot of opportunities like that, and you pass a lot of them up and wonder why. Luckily I've been associated with some good people and this one worked out really well. But that makes me a pretty busy guy sometimes. I still need some time to keep focusing on this racing thing.
Okay then, we'll let you get back to it, Kevin. Always good talking to you.
Thanks, Weege.

The Conversation
K Dub is a great ambassador for the sport! It is very easy to see why he gets the biggest ovation from the crowds across the country.
Class Act all the way! I hope he stays healthy...the races are much better with K-Dub around! Would love to see a mud race this year and see him win!
A guy that understands how to market yourself. Never says a bad word about anyone, always positive, and as @Sharff150 said, a great ambassador for the sport. I was in the Windham line at Millville and spoke with a guy and his wife. They travel to most of the SX and MX events throughout the year. Some years prior, Windham had remembered them from the prior autograph signing and even remembered the event. They said he is like that with many "repeat" people in his autograph lines. Truly unbelievable.
RC is and forever will be the GOAT, due to all the victories he earned during his career, but Kevin Windham is and forever will be #1 in the hearts of fans, due more to his friendly down home personality, than his amazing talent on a dirt bike!! K-Dub is living proof, that you don't have to win all the time, to be one of the best all time!!
K-Dub should start giving seminars to the young riders who have a hard time saying anything in an interview except a rattled off list of their sponsors. He is a "real" guy, just like one of your best buds ( excepts that he is amazingly fast...), and he makes you feel that when you hear him interviewed. K-Dub is a throwback of sorts, kinda like when Tony D, Lackey, Gaylon Mosier, and others rode the nationals. A fan could talk to them...like real people...and not expect to get B.S. responses to actual questions. JB51...take some lessons!!
Gota give it up to the guy, To be at that level still is crazy. It's going to be a very hard year for him though. The class is stacked like never before. You have 6 guys who can win and a few more that can win if things fall the right way. Would love to see K-Dub win another but damn i just don't see it.
What year did he stop raceing? 1999? 2000? He took a few years of at one point to clear his head.
I was on one of those carts once. I was 19 and in my Class A dress uniform. They changed the gate on my flight to the other side of airport while I wasn't there and I told the clerk that my leave was going to run out and I would be AWOL if I didn't get my base that day. They got me on the cart and rushed me to the gate. It was embarrassing
Yes Windham has been at it a long time! My first memory of him is at Whitney, one of the big GNC races, I was talking to Hawthorne by the track and after Dennis left this kid came up and asked me if I knew Hawthorne? Then he starts asking me questions about the track? He told me he raced the 80's and when he left his jersey said Windham. I told him good luck! Well then in the 80 class I looked for him. I dont remember who all was there but think he won! A very modest young man even at that age.
What makes Kevin so great right now is that he is truly racing because he wants to be. He doesn't need the money, he doesn't need to please anyone else, he doesn't need to prove anything. He's there because he wants to be there, plain and simple. He's not chasing a dream. He's living it now!
Off of the Windham subject---I just read the article about Marty Moates and have tears in my eys..... I can relate to the pain pils and all that Marty had to take. Hope everyone read the Racer X article about Mike Healey?? It explains a lot! You have to be carful with them. AS I told my Doctor they are only to make the pain better not go away, Because if you try to make the pain go away it will only get worse. He was trying to up my pain meds and I did not want to. It can be a very dangerous route. Everyone needs to understand and know when they cross the line from use to abuse! That is the beginning of the downfall. One you cross that line I have saw people never make it back! WE Motocrossers have had a lot of injuries but we love what we do or did.
Hope I did not upset anyone?
Take care all and Merry Christmas!
Here come A1...... LETS RACE!!!!
If it wasn't Mcgrath or RC it would have been someone else... Doug Henry, Greg Alberten, Chad Reed, they all had a little more than him.
Looks like we all share the same sentiment. What's there not too like? I was at the Houston SX this past spring. My God, what a battle that was with Stewart in the heat. THAT'S WHAT RACE FANS WANT....except for the crash. That sucked. Hated to see that. Go get 'em and give those youngsters some hell!!!
@Please don't ......no there most likely wouldn't ....guess you never saw him on a good day....as good as it gets and a BETTER riding style than anyone.......it is what it...some bad luck and some close calls haven't stopped him yet....Go KW.
@ Please don't hate us -
"I was on one of those carts once. I was 19 and in my Class A dress uniform."
Thx for your service
Dear Kev, and readers- true airport cart story:
Flying NY to Chicago, connecting through Detroit. Plane late, 15 minutes to make next connection, from B concourse to F in Detroit, before reconstruct. LONG walk. Took 10 minutes to get to connecting flight. Info wrong on kiosk. Gate changed. "To what?" you ask. THE SAME GATE I JUST LEFT! They moved the plane I arrived in and parked the alternate there. Said "HEY! CART GUY! Need a lift, emergency." Response: "You don't look like you need a cart to me". Explained situation, gave me a ride back, made it as doors were closing, sweating of course. Thanks Cart Guy in Detroit, 1992.
I'm a JS7 fan, but #14 was robbed of a dominating Vegas SX win when Bubba saw the old man was doing the quad-quad, too, then proceeded to add to this crash footage reel. That could've been his best chance of victory in the waning years.
PS: Phoenix SX is KDub's best takeout ever. Hellooooo DV12. Blam-O!
Appreciate that. It's been a privalage to me.
Wasn't it K-Dub (or was it Lusk) who broke his femur really badly back in the early 2000's at a Super-X on a Suzuki and thought he was going to die.... Scared himself to death and he quit racing for a season or two? Anyone know the details?
kw's bad year was 02 on the suzuki at Atlanta. Class act guy for sure!!
KDub, you are the people's Champ!!!
BillC--you say the same thing about K-Dub every year.. And he had a win in the bag last season and had a silly mistake...
If we could all be as cool as K-Dub for just one day it would be awesome..
Great to see Windham racing for another season and mixing it up with the best.
Anybody know what his personal plane he fly's to the races in ?
He's had about 13 years between his first win and his last (so far) win, about the same as Larocco. I noticed a lot of guys on the all-time SX Wins list had a very narrow range of seasons between their first and last wins. That's almost like Nolan Ryan throwing no-hitters in his 40s (yeah I know, baseball is g*y. Maybe Favre would make a better analogy, minus the texting thing).
I hope he has one more win left in him. A holeshot at a mud race, and he'd be looking good. He's crashed pretty hard a few times last season. Hard to say if that might take a bit of the edge off. His technique and preparation is never in doubt.
Windham took notes when he witnessed T Pastrana at work with the fans. Those 2 guys have showed what the fans really mean to the sport. Windham is a sincere man, fast day slow day, he's just a solid man. RC has always admitted that Kdub was smoother and had better style than him, but the redhead developed his mental game to another level. When I got to races now, I never get autographs from the riders (especially the young punks). I will stand back and watch Kdub at work with the kids and fans and wish like hell I could stand in his shoes for a short time...thanks Kevin and thank your family for sharing you with us moto guys...
Needs to drop the transfers. It's one thing to get hurt racing in the twilight of your career, but to very potentially sustain a 'life-changer' just for a little applause would be silly. Thanks for all the memories Kevin.
Rt 14 in CT runs through the center of the Town of Windham.
But he is not going to do well this year unless a lot of guys drop out like last year.
Agree Tracks, KW please dont do the transfers anymore. A dumb way to get hurt.
RC may be the GOAT but Windham is the people's champ.

As part of Oral Health Month, the Canadian Dental Association is making several recommendations for smart snacking for kids and parents.
. Limit the number of times a day your child eats or drinks sugars.
. Avoid sugary treats that stay in the mouth for a long time like hard candy or lollipops.
. Avoid soft, sticky sweets that get stuck in teeth.
. Serve sweets for dessert while there is still plenty of saliva in your child's mouth to wash away the sugars.
. Serve juice and milk during or at the end of mealtime.
Drink water between meals.
. Serve vegetables, cheese, nuts or seeds for snacks.
. Have your child brush her teeth at least twice a day and before going to bed.

High Cotton - Greenville
Online Reservations
We recently held a birthday dinner for my daughter and her family. Everything was wonderful, food seating , hostess, server it was a great experience. We like High Cotton and would certainly go back
We visited High Cotton to take advantage of the FoodieFest specials. We were served and fed superbly in spite of the fact that the restaurant had three large groups (one of 120 people) at the same time. Because of the large group, we were seated on the street level instead of our usual seats downstairs, but still had a great view of the river and for people watching. Shrimp and Grits was top notch as always and a small filet topped with oyster stew served over Hoppin' John was fantastic. Gumbo, a peach salad, and desserts topped off a special meal. Free valet parking helps make the whole experience enjoyable.
High Cotton is one of my favorite Greenville restaurants and when my mother and I dined there during Foodie Fest, we had yet another wonderful experience. The food was beautifully plated and everything tasted great. I had the South Carolina quail which I decided to order to see if I would like it. It was prepared perfectly with crispy skin on the outside and moist meat on the inside. We started our meal with a selection of cheeses and condiments. It was such a generous selection, it could have been our entire meal. Our server did a great job and was attentive but not hovering. As always, we enjoyed the view of the Reedy River and Greenville's busy Main Street. This was definitely a foodie fest!
The food was great, nice jazz band playing . I would recommend this restuarant. Food was a little pricie! But was worth it . It's problably one of greenvilles finest.
We dined during the Greenville restaurant week (called Foodie Fest). Excellent value at $30 for the three courses and a three piece jazz band for entertainment. Will return to try regular menu.
With high Cotton, you know what you're getting - great food with thought put into the diverse and unique ingredients, great service, and a nice ambiance - and receive it every time you visit. A bit expensive for what you get quantity wise, but the food is very good.
We're not really regulars, but High Cotton is our go-to place for special occasions -- we never fail to be impressed with the food and terrific service. The duck is my daughter's absolute favorite and my wife almost always opts for the oyster appetizer. Me, I'm willing go with the server's recommendations most of the time, which never disappoint.
Every time we visit Greenville, we make a reservation at High Cotton. The food is outstanding, as well as the service. The wine list is excellent, and we always find a wonderful wine to compliment our entrees. This is a must try restaurant.
Everything was great -- service, food, ambiance. My group was pleased.
This was our first visit to High Cotton but will definitely not be our last! The food was amazing and the service impeccable. My husband has a lot of food issues and they were able to accomodate them without any fuss which is very unusual. If you are looking for upscale fine dining then you should try this.
My wife and I enjoys a quiet dinner with a great view of the river. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We enjoyed the shrimp and grits.
Everything was wonderful... Food Delicious Service Superb (I wish I knew our waitress's name to brag on her...sorry I did not ask) Window Table was lovely Nothing could have been improved!!!
Our group enjoyed the High Cotton before starting our Summit meeting in Greenville. Great location by the stream and on Main Street. The food was really good -- especially enjoyed the history behind the watermelon. The service was outstanding. WE look forward to next year and eating at High Cotton.
Great seasonal foods highlighted. Farms listed on the menu. Great choices for all eaters.
We enjoyed everything about our visit... The food was extraordinary, the service commendable, and the view was great for watching all of the festivities outside on a gorgeous Saturday in September!
5 minute walk from adjacent parking garage. Promptly seated and greeted by waiter. Enjoyed warm cornbread prior to Prime Rib w/Eggs, Hollandaise Sauce and Oven Roasted Potatoes. Entertained by Ian Bracchitta (Jazz) Trio. It's an hour ride from home but WILL dine here again!
It was a very nice setting with great service. We are used to buffets for brunch and it was nice to just order from a menu and not feel overwhelmed with everything. The drinks were amazing, pricey but good (next time we will limit ourselves to the tasty drinks after seeing the bill for them :/) We booked as soon as the restaurant opened and did not get to enjoy the music that was getting set up but had the pleasure of listening to the cocky bartender tell his stories. Our server was great...he was not pushy, very helpful and was not at our table every five minutes since it was not busy yet. Love the fact that they use a lot of local produce that is on their menu. The bacon bloody Mary and pimm 01 drinks were great!!
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The food was delicious; the service was outstanding; and the atmosphere was divine!
High Cotton is a very good downtown restaurant. It still maintains its Charleston roots. It is known for its innovative dishes at dinner but it is a great lunch and weekend brunch spot also.
This was our first time eating dinner at High Cotton, after living in Greenville for years. We had a very good time and the food was very good up until dessert. The dessert wasn't bad, but we expected better especially flyer the good meal that we enjoyed. Overall we had a good time.
Great food with friends. On par with the location in Charleston. Looking forward to my next visit.
I made an online reservation and added a comment that we would like a window table and this was our 30th anniversary. We had a great window seat with a view of the Reedy River running through downtown Greenville. The staff all signed a Happy Anniversary card and had it on the table when we arrived. The chef sent out a special treat before the entrees arrived. The server was awesome and the food was fantastic! Great attention to the presentation and the flavor of each item. It was a great evening.
Great ambiance, service, and food. My only complaint is the wine list prices. The prices seem to be about 3x retail. This is just unacceptable. Who wants to pay $32 for a bottle of wine which can be purchased at retail for $10, especially at lunch. At the very least they should have a few featured wines during lunch that are well discounted (from 3x).
I booked late, so I shouldn't have been too surprised that we didn't get the best table; but we were seated right next to the kitchen. It's open to the restaurant, and therefore pretty noisy. We asked to be moved. The food was great, regardless; although they brought out each other's dishes (I understand the same thing happened at another table). Our dessert was burned too, but it didn't significantly mar our dinner.
We had a wonderful experience. I previously notified the restaurant of my daughter's birthday and they presented her with a card from the staff. It was an unexpected and nice touch.
My husband and I were passing though and found High Cotton on a website 10 best restaurants in Greenville and Open Table so we made reservations. We got there a little early and started with a drink at the bar (bartender had generous pours!). We were seated on time and I was given a black napkin for my dress (great attention to detail!). We couldn't decide on 1 appetizer so we got 2 (rabbit & fried green tomatoes) both were delicious). For the main course he had the trout and I had the veggie platter (grits & grilled peach were very tasty)! Our waiter also made excellent wine pairing suggestions! And we ended the night with sharing pecan pie (fantastic)!
we were in the Greenville area picking up a new BMW at the performance center on our anniversary and did not know anything about the area. we made reservations at High Cotton at the last minute and requested a table with a view and told them it was our anniversary. They were extremely accommodating. They got us right in on time at a great table with a view of the river. The hostess was great, and our server was absolutely wonderful and met us with free champaign for our anniversary. The food was awesome...the staff was great and the whole experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend High Cotton, and if/when we are ever in the Greenville area again, we will definitely be paying them another visit.
Casual, but sophisticated. Good food in nicely designed space adjacent to the Reedy River in the heart of Greenville.
Good place to dine before shows at Peace Center. Close to venue and restaurant staff is very aware of show schedule and need for quick service. Food is excellent, although portions tend to be on the small side.
We had a NYC-worthy dining experience in little Greenville, SC, with great food, lovely ambience, and a wonderful server! Cannot recommend this restaurant enough.
Our first visit to High Cotton will certainly not be our last. The hostess was so accommodating with our seating request. The waitress who said she was somewhat new, didn't miss a step. She knew the menu and the wine list and made perfect recommendations. The food was fabulous. It was truly a perfect evening! Thank you!
My wife and I had an excellent dining experience from the moment we arrived. I'd requested a table with a view of the river and we were promptly escorted to such a table. My chair had a cushion that had seen better days... no biggie, just one of those things, but the server immediately swapped it for another one. The atmosphere was conducive to quiet conversation (always an issue for us hearing impaired, :) ). The service was professional yet very friendly and attentive without overdoing it. The food was excellent and even the coffee was good (an area where many restaurants drop the ball). I would highly recommend High Cotton to anyone visiting Greenville... we will definitely return in the near future!
High Cotton is our favorite restaurant in Greenville! Clare and Steve Stehling
Went to Greenville on a Saturday in hopes of finding a good meal...We were skeptical about going here because we had our eight month old and thought this place may be too upscale for children after trying their restaurant in Charleston in the past. Arrived at the parking garage around 1pm and made reservations for 1:30 via open table app. They had no issues with us being early and we still got a great window seat with an awesome view. My wife had the squash soup as well as the Scottish Salmon and she enjoyed both. I had the chef's special which was Braised Pork over grits. It was really great and a huge portion. I had every intention of getting a dessert but couldn't even finish the entree. Great meal and reasonable lunch prices.
We dined before attending the play at the Peace Center. The waitress was awesome. She asked if we were going to the play and made sure we were served in plenty of time. She checked on us throughout the meal to make sure everything was okay. I ordered the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese and I can tell you from trying them all over Greenville that these were fantastic! If you are looking for great food and a beautiful view, then this is your place!
I took my daughters (ages 10 and 7) to High Cotton before we went to the Peace Center. This was their first time here. We have been to many restaurants with our children in downtown Greenville, and we always can find them things from the "adult" menu, however High Cotton's kids menu was perfect. They each had a delicious bowl of fresh fruit as an appetizer and pasta for their main course. I had the grouper which was just OK and that is why I did not give the food 5 stars. The service was superb and my children loved the ambiance - even commenting on how nice it was that they spread the tables out so you were not sitting close to anyone. We will be back!!!
The staff was amazing in that they rolled out the red carpet for us!
We love High Cotton for Sunday brunch. Their French toast is so good. Always a special treat.
My husband and I went to High Cotton before a concert and highly enjoyed our experience. The ambience was warm and welcoming and the decor is beautifully done. The fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese were delicious as were our entrees. The portions were just the right size. But the main thing to note is the service we received while we were dining there. The wait staff is very well trained, polite, and helpful.
We had dinner after seeing TSO at the Bi Lo Center. We have been to High Cotton for lunch, but this was our first dinner visit. We were seated promptly, and at 615, the restaurant was already getting busy. Three of us got the trout which was awesome, and one got shrimp and grits which was also excellent. The chef special dessert was a warm chocolate cake which was absolutely delicious. Our server was very good and knowledgeable about the menu. I love the atmosphere inside. It's open and vibrant, but you feel like you have the privacy to visit with your dinner companions. It was a great evening, and I highly recommend High a Cotton for lunch or dinner
My wife and I went to High Cotton for our monthly date night. We started at the bar upstairs for happy hour from 4-6:30. The drinks were inexpensive, yet very high quality and well made. Our dinner was nothing short of spectacular. We started with the Beef Carpaccio, which was some of the most tender carpaccio I have had. The accompaniments of arugula and mustard really added to the dish. For dinner, my wife had to bone-in pork chop with yellow grits and bacon roasted brussel sprouts. Oh my, it was to die for. I had the duck breast with farro (similar to a rice, but not quite) and roasted cauliflower. We finished it off with pecan pie and chocolate terrine. Add to all this an outstanding wine list. Great experience. We will be back.
Dine here w/ the family and host business dinners here. Food, service and staff - all great! I would recomend High Cotton for sure.
Excellent food. Excellent service. Nice atmosphere. 'Nuff said!
We had a very good dinner and we were not rushed at all. It was a very good evperience. Any time we are in Greenville we will visit.
The Thanksgiving menu was well thought out. There were several choices as well as the standard turkey and dressing. I'm pleased that I found this place and I hope that I will be able to go there again when I am in that part of the state again. Greenville is a jewel and this place gives good credit to the city.
My wife and I tried High Cotton for the first time on Thanksgiving. Their traditional Thanksgiving dinner was so well done that we didn't regret eating out at a time that's normally reserved for family. Service was top-notch, and the ambience was welcoming. We will definitely go back again to try lunch and their usual dinner.
This was our third Thanksgiving dinner at High Cotton and it did not disappoint. Choices were several prix fixe menus--several alternatives if you did not want the turkey. Very interesting assortment of appetizers--we had a very flavorful mini-lamb burger and crisp and delicious popcorn shrimp. The tender, perfectly seasoned turkey with gravy was accompanied by mashed potatoes, green bean casserole with fresh, whole green beans, a wonderful dressing and a very light cranberry-based sauce. For dessert, pecan pie was served warm--very light and not the usual sticky custard. The pumpkin cheesecake was also light--both great finishes to a memorable meal. As always, we ordered turkey sandwiches with accompaniments to take home.
I would highly recommend High Cotton. Great location, great food & great service!
My family and I met here for a birthday celebration, it was a memorable dining experience. We will definitely visit again soon!
Professionally managed and well established restaurant in the busy Main Street area in the vibrant City of Greenville! We travel two hours to have the delious Sunday Brunch... Service, food and atmosphere are 5 STAR!!!

Winchester law firm teams up with national charity for new will scheme
5:00pm Monday 26th August 2013 in Hampshire Business
A WINCHESTER law firm has teamed up with a national charity to provide free will-writing services to over-55s.
Shentons Solicitors & Mediators has joined forces with Marie Curie Cancer Care to provide the scheme between September 1 and November 30.
It offers people a chance to make or amend a will, with the option to include a gift to support the charity.
Shentons specialists will be on hand to offer advice and support, while a limited amount of free wills is on offer on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Elizabeth Pollard, head of probate at Shentons, said: "We hope that this campaign will encourage people to have a will written, and consider leaving a gift to Marie Curie at the same time. "The more money we can help raise for Marie Curie, the more free care the charity can offer, and gifts left in wills can help to ensure their services can continue into the future."
For more details call 01883 832 639.

NASA's Curiosity has completed its longest trek yet. The Mars rover journeyed more than 30 meters on its 29th Martian day, which ended September 5 at 2:37 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time by Earth's clock. In total, the rolling laboratory has covered 109 meters but must traverse many more to reach its first scientific sampling site. Before it proceeds, Curiosity will take a few days to test equipment on its robotic arm.
This color-enhanced image comes from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and reveals a slightly earlier stage in the rover's travels. On September 2, the orbiter's High Resolution Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera took this photograph, as well as images of Curiosity's fallen back shell and parachute that helped the rover land safely.
In this picture, you can clearly see the parallel tread of Curiosity's tracks. The rover's descent onto the planet disturbed soil in patches (visible near the start of the tracks), revealing the dark sands below the Red Planet's dusty surface.

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisoh yeah, I'm sure the bush administration after breaking us with the continual wars of the Empire, I'm sure their corporate handlers wanted to extend space exploration. The only way privatized America will ever return to space with man (other than the space station) is if the Corporate Monolith can see a profit. To hell with the grand experiment.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisWhat is to be gained by putting humans on Mars? Nothing! Okay, bragging rights -- too puerile -- except for those too ladened with testosterone.
The technology with the most direct effect here would be robotics with a heavy dose of AI. Space exploration should be done with robotics exclusively. Cost differences? 100's to 1000's of billions of dollars to put humans into space vs 10's of billions to do it robotically.
Leave human space exploration to the comic books where it belongs.
Yeesh, Fluidizer. Ya know, KoolAid is rather sugary and bad for you. You may want to switch to some other more nutritious source of reality.

We know that the sun is going to burn out in 5-billion years. We better be on a different planet long before that. Mars is just a step. The sooner that we find out what the problems will be for humans, the sooner we can mitigate or overcome them.
Hint. Comics are not real, and using them as your source of scientific information and ideas doesn't cut it.
It is one thing to be a child and inspired by comic books, and it's quite a different story to be an adult, supposedly educated, and use comic books as policy documents.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisBesides what these gentlemen are saying in the interesting dialogue. I am looking at the picture where the Curiosity landed and it seems it landed in a not well leveled terrain. Is it correct? It looks like it got through and then out of a little depression in the ground. Very good that it did not rolled over. And changing subject, if you permit, probably the ball is on the business side with respect to space exploration. But that is what it looks like with an on the surface analysis. May be an in-depth analysis may render the fact that things are going well. For the time being let us enjoy that this little thing is rolling on another planet. Remember the later 60's and early 70's with all that interesting things going on is space exploration with Neil and all those nice guys and even ladies (Valentina) risking their very lives up there enclosed in those almost unbearable small metallic cans. And at the same time, all of us, around the globe, hoping and praying, that an atomic bomb would not explode right above our very heads. And ah, who knows, too early to thing about that, but with a little luck and much well directed work we may hop to another planet on time, before the sun gets tired and gives off heat no more! (P.S. We can not ignore that some people are beginning to talk about serious conflict in some areas of the world. Let us hope for the better and nobody gets hurt!)

Think outside the pinhead. Mars is the closest thing to an Earth parallel available. The complete absence of life, or once-upon-a-time presence ... tada, is one of the most basic big issues on the table. The issue is up there with Higgs and the Boson for importance.
A human expedition could make choices, exploit opportunities, and settle the question. A VW Beetle Buggy can explore a small, limited, decision-cramped, area. A big telescope can't even do that.
If you're looking for a 'So What?' shrug, try an expedition with the mission objective of taking a confirmation picture of Neil Armstrong's boot.
Manned space exploration is a pointless task not only because of the greater cost but because robotics technology can offer an infinitely larger amount of scientific data than a person could, again at lower costs, with no risk to life, and with the ability to explore, test, and sample for much greater amounts of time.
Science has nothing to do with how inspirational your museum is, science is concerned with the acquisition of knowledge.
After a planet, say, Mars, has been thoroughly tested then comes publicity missions to mars for no other reason than to generate hype and funding. Can a human inhabited spacecraft travel millions of miles? No. Can a humans survive for years on the surface of mars? No. Can humans enter the sun's corona as the future planned solar probe will be able to? No. Case closed.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisAgreed, but a lot of our ideas in science initially start out as imagination, and then we figure it out in reality. A lot of the tech you have today originated in the imaginations of authors. Ideas have to begin somewhere, and then the science can be figured out.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisLarryW, in a perfect world populated by intelligent beings that would be true but this isn't a perfect world and the US isn't populated by intelligent beings. The simple fact is that it is "the people's" money that is funding space exploration. And for "the people" to be willing to give their tax dollars to this cause they need to connect with it in some way. The fact is most people do not connect with robots in the same way they connect with humans. So you could say that putting people in space is PR. But, there are other reasons to involve people. First, robots are great and getting better every day but they are not even close in capabilities to people. Humans are very complex machines capable of judgement and problem solving well beyond the abilities of modern machines and likely will be for some time. Having that skill set available can be worth the additional expense. Another consideration is that space may become a home for some people. We need to solve the problems of extended exposure to conditions in interplanetary space.
So while I agree with you that robotics should form the backbone of space exploration, I also think there is a role for humans too.
While I think that human space travel in the past has seemed like the way to generate PR and enthusiasm, some substantial number of youngsters are getting a taste of robotics in high school, finally.
When I was young, building and fixing stuff was where the thrill was for many. Heath kits, (re)building car engines, rocketry (with real propellents), the Radio Shack hobbyists.
Today, there is MindStorm from Lego, 3-D printers to design and build components, Arduino micro controllers, mobile computers/programming. All this a more is available to the able-bodied and not alike -- in the 10's of thousands and more. An astronaut? What maybe one in a million at the outermost?
And how can one be not thrilled with Voyager 1 and 2? Thirty-five years they've been traveling.
Okay, in the US you will unlikely awaken any thrill in the masses of Americans whose interests lie with gluttonous consumption and positions such as science is just another belief system -- just like their religions -- unless man on Mars is pushed. It is certainly true that you might be able to thrill them to the tune of 100's of billions of dollars to place people on Mars before their stupor sets in again, but they would never miss the few 10's of millions for robotic space exploration and we would never need to awaken them from their mindless pursuits.
Space exploration benefits us here on earth.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisWhether one wants manned space exploration or not is irrelevent.
The US piggybank is full of IOU's. There will be no manned missions beyond NEO for the next few decades. US space exploration will be confined to half billion dollar unmanned missions.
Manned exploration at this time is unnecessary,expensive and dangerous.What is needed is to send as many robots as possible to the Moon and asteroids to start mining for elements in short supply here on Earth.These shortages are a great hindrance to the growth of the world economy.The nations that do this will be the superpowers of tomorrow.The moneys from this growth could create an unending boom that could eliminate poverty,war,and hunger.Bringing all the people on the planet to a middle class level that many people in industrial nations now enjoy.The time is now,the longer we wait brings us one day closer to a world war caused by a shortage of resources.

FCS Diversity and Inclusion - PROPOSED RULE - MARCH 2011
Dear Mr. Van Meter,
I do hope this message finds you well. My name is Wendy Godek and I live in Brooklyn, NY. I am delighted to share with you how fortunate I feel to have access to locally-grown and produced food and other agricultural products in New York. I am very grateful for the opportunity to support local and regional farmers, especially our family farms and other small and medium-sized producers. My favorite place on Saturday mornings is the Fort Green Greenmarket where I am able to shop for a vast array of products
(including fresh fruits and vegetables, bread, fish, eggs, cheese, dairy products, plants, and honey) produced by farmers in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut that are of superior quality and at the same time support the endeavors of the farmers and other food producers.
I believe that it is essential that local and regional producers, especially small and family farms, have access to much needed credit so that they can continue to produce and distribute food that is accessible not only in terms of availability but also in terms of price. It is imperative that we provide these producers with a minimum of 10% of the FCA's budget and I would like to see much more than 10% allocated for such investment. We need to provide these producers with greater support from the FCA and
increased opportunities for representation in the FCA.
I work with transnational social movement organization of small and medium rural producers called La Via Campesina. La Via Campesina advocates what we call food democracy - the ability of citizens to directly participate in the design and implementation of local, regional, national, and international food systems. One step towards democratizing the process by which food and agriculture policies are made is by including local and regional producers on the FCA board.
Furthermore, local and regional food producers are extremely valuable to our local communities in terms of providing a diversity of products, the sale of which on a local level provides income that is reinvested in our communities. This thereby strengthens our local economies, keeps small and medium-sized producers in business, helps us to become more self-sufficient in terms of production, and provides consumers with fresh, local food.
In closing, I encourage the FCA to take broad measures to work more closely with local and regional producers in order to strengthen local food economies, enhance interaction between the FCA and local and regional food and agriculture producers, provide these producers with not only credit but also technical assistance and training, and continue to build a more just, sustainable, and economically viable food system in the United States that puts our citizens and their needs first.
Many thanks to you for your attention to this matter and please feel free to contact me at any time.
All my best,
Wendy Godek

D and C (dilatation and curettage) is a procedure in which the vaginal canal is gently held open with a speculum, and the cervix is dilated (widened) with a metal rod. A curette is then passed through the cervical canal into the uterine cavity where endometrial tissue is scraped away and collected for examination.

Many people feel an indescribable urge to follow in the footsteps of celebrities long passed—hoping that a connection to their genius or charm still lingers in the air of their apartments and favorite pubs. The guides of Esotouric understand and share this urge, though they prefer to roam the paths of history by bus. After scouring the famed neighborhoods of Los Angeles in search of interesting and outlandish locations, they share their findings on bus adventures that retrace the trails blazed by local artists, filmmakers, writers, and actors.
Esotouric's odysseys wind through haunts such as Raymond Chandler's favorite breakfast spot and the salon Charles Bukowski visited for his weekly knuckle-hair perm. Coloring their tours with anecdotes about the films adapted from his noirish stories, guides also visit locales captured in the cinematic landscapes of James M. Cain. Various tours explore Southern California's culture, literature, and architectural sides, giving history hounds the chance to sniff out sinister deeds in old-time tattoo parlors, burlesque shows, and crime scenes.
For four years running, photographer Sean J. Mason—who has been capturing striking images of clients for more than 15 years—has won WeddingWire's Bride's Choice Award for his spontaneous, photojournalistic fine-art photography. In addition to documenting weddings and engagements, Mason captures striking portraits of clients, allowing them to recall fleeting moments in time or show up fading paintings of relatives in their Hall of Ancestors.
While many citywide scavenger hunts require registering in advance, showing up to a set location, and finishing on time, Urban Adventure Quests requires only a smartphone and a thirst for the unknown. Following routes provided on a online whenever the mood strikes, participants in the scavenger-hunt-style challenge can explore New York's Central Park, iconic Hollywood Boulevard, or the historic Las Vegas casinos where the world's first roulette wheel fell off a passing circus car. Along the way, they absorb tidbits of local history and see iconic landmarks while decoding clues and completing exciting challenges.
With a list of vendors representing celebrated local wineries, restaurants, jewelers, beauty shops, and more, the Food & Wine Lovers' Festival is a catered carnival of Dionysian deliciousness. Vino-sippers can sample fermented grape nectars from dozens of wine and spirit makers, while sweet teeth can get their fix from fine confectioneries. Accessory shops share space with craft designers and cigar slingers, giving smoke blowers an array of stylish vessels to store their stogies in until man lands on the moon for real. Additionally, a portion of the event's proceeds will go to the Ventura County Food Share, a local organization that distributes food to the hungry throughout Ventura County.
When Brian McInerney reflects on the humble beginnings of Wheel Fun Rentals, he points to his childhood passion for bikes. "As far back as I can remember, I had a real love affair with bicycles," he recalls. During a trip to Italy in 1987, Brian's affinity for cycling blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when he spotted locals' transporter of choice, the surrey. Inspired, he began importing the Italian four-wheelers to a rental business in the U.S. that eventually expanded into Wheel Fun Rentals, now a nationwide web of shops that also loans out bikes, electric cars and mopeds, and man-powered watercraft. Adventuresome athletes can also compete in activities such as surrey scavenger hunts and blindfold obstacle courses navigated via shouted instructions from a seeing teammate or exceptionally long rounds of trial and error.
cityHunt's urban adventures thrust participants into unfamiliar territory, daring them to explore parts of their cities previously untraversed. Held in various neighborhoods within the nation's largest cities, each scavenger hunt challenges teams to answer trivia questions and seek out items of interest in a bid to complete the hunt as the fastest squad with the most points. Some tasks might require a keen memory or knowledge of the city's history, while others might ask camera-wielding participants to snap a photo of certain object or landmark without pausing to day dream about all the civil and municipal engineering that must have gone into creating such an awe-inspiring place. At the end of each adventure, cityHunt staff members meet with squads to discuss their strong points and areas that could use improvement, making it an off-the-beaten-path team-building exercise for corporate clients and groups of friends alike.

Almost everything written about Rivette's prolix tale of magic, mischief, female bonding, and met-narrative focuses on its seeming impossibility—a three-hour odyssey that's both irresistibly watchable and theoretically rigorous. But "quirky epic" encapsulates the problem, or the brilliance, of the film in a single phrase. Quirk is intimate, personal, and often coded as feminine; epics are sweeping, totalizing and, sure, male. Quirk is enjoyable, epics are edifying. Celine and Julie Go Boating doesn't dwell on these apparent contrasts. Instead, as with so many things French around this time, it dissolves or reverses these binaries. It becomes all those things at once: the quirky epic. What it leaves us with, though, isn't a grumpy mess, but a glorious, mysterious sense of relief that sticks with you well past viewing.

After President Barack Obama raised publicity in June with his declaration that 800,000 young undocumented immigrants could remain and work in the United States, his administration quietly issued a rule this week declaring that these immigrants can't benefit from the healthcare reform law.
The Department of Health and Human Services released a rule amendment to clarify that the Affordable Care Act, which offers coverage to those "lawfully present" in the United States, did not apply to those mentioned in Obama's June declaration.
The amendment means that the undocumented immigrants will not be able to join the Pre-Existing Condition Plan for high-risk patients and the healthcare exchanges being established to help people and small businesses obtain cheaper rates. The immigrants will also not be able to get into state-federal programs such as Medicaid, the health insurance for the poor, or the Children's Health Insurance Program.
"This certainly is a substantial financial issue in places like Miami, New York City and Los Angeles," said Alan Sager, a healthcare policy expert at Boston University. He called the ruling "a relatively minor administrative clarification, a screwing down of something that was already nailed down."
The reason is that, in an attempt to get support from conservatives for the reform bill in 2010, Democratic lawmakers promised that undocumented immigrants would not benefit from the act.
Obama's June announcement affected immigrants under 31 who were brought into the United States illegally as children. His move did not formally grant them residency or permanent legal status, but allowed them to stay and work in the country.
That action, HHS decided, did not mean these immigrants were "lawfully present." On Monday, it issued a 12-page amendment to the reform act regulations "so that the program does not inadvertently expand the scope" of the act.
The issue of immigrant healthcare is huge for South Florida. As many as a third of the uninsured patients at Jackson Health System are believed to be undocumented.
State-federal funds pay for their emergency care until they are considered stable, but any other treatment falls on county taxpayers if they go to a government hospital. If they go to other hospitals, the facilities get reimbursed for their care by charging higher rates to insurers and paying patients, Sager said.

One little question/fix: Shouldn't the USB port be a <----> arrow not just ---> to the computer? Can LUTs only be downloaded using the USB or can they uploaded through usb as well?
the diagram seems to imply 720p up to 120fps at up to 35mm frame size. I didn't think this was possible, and doesn't seem to be by looking at the Red Site.
I think this diagram needs to be slightly clearer in showing which lines pass through each other and which lines connect to each other.
The diagram is nice, but what would be really helpful is a diagram of what actually works NOW, not what the future will hold. It would be great to have that to show to editors and producers so that the real world workflows can be figured out best for the application of the system on-set tomorrow morning or next Monday. I've been searching the boards for rumors of a 16 gig CF card testing out as workable but to have a reference chart of present tested workflow and also more importantly, capacity at 4K,2K, &(Gpm) Gigs per minute on a CF, on an external firewire drive, etc.. with what is available at present would really be a great way to get all the production people involved on the same page. I have to search the boards now for several hours to find out what's the best way to solve the issues this week, and would sure be nice to have one of the moderators compile this info for quick digestion. How about a weekly updated sticky graph?
great diagram, thanks a lot for putting it all together! I might have missed something but I need to ask: due to speed constrains 4k could not be recorded on CF cards, right?
Great Diagram Thanks
A few questions..
Will both viewfinders output a signal at the same time?
How is audio handled…Acquired?
I could not read it off the diagram, but it is good to know, thanks!
Okay, a long overdue update to the overview diagram. Check it at the top of the thread. Let me know if there are any glaring errors.
