Personally I love the whole concept of making the cat completely robotic. I do agree that her face could use a little work, but overall I love the idea of it. Good artwork, Man.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
While I mostly agree that her face could use a little work , I actually like it , when she's gazing upwards. I think your style adds intelligence to her character.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Looks interessting. The facial expressions of Alice make her seem like an old hag though. I'd maybe remove the mesh where the throat of the cat would be because it doesn't really add anything to it in my oppinion. Steampunk usually has all those mpving gears and whizzing pistons you could just put your hands on (if it was real) so this seems - how should I put it - overly elaborate. Besides that it looks pretty cool.
Good luck with writing that concept story (if you haven't finished it yet that is).
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Alice is like the scariset looking kid I've ever seen! Other than that it's okay, but you should work and take time on the faces.

Existing Home Sales Down Slightly in September
Washington, DC, Oct. 19, 2012 -- Home resales fell 1.7% in September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.75 million, according to the National Association of Realtors.
Economists had expected a rate of 4.8 million for September.
The median existing-home price rose 11.3% from the prior year, the largest annual gain since November 2005.
Inventories fell 3.3% to 2.32 million units in September, 5.9 months of supply at the current sales rate. That was the first reading below six months since March 2006.
"Despite occasional month-to-month setbacks, we're experiencing a genuine recovery," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist.
"The shrinkage in housing supply is supporting ongoing price growth, a pattern that could accelerate, unless home builders robustly ramp up production," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist.

Providing Numbers for a Food versus Fuel Debate: An Analysis of a Future Biofuel Production Scenario
This study provides a quantitative estimate of grain that would be available for biofuel production under different scenarios of dietary requirements in the world in 2050 based on the projected information available in 2007 on population, productivity increase, dietary requirements, and land use types. Our major findings are as follows: (1) if dietary requirements do not increase by more than 20% from the current level, crop yields from current cropland must increase by more than 57% just to meet dietary demand; (2) the restriction of pastureland for milk and meat production purposes would imply insufficient food production for a moderate diet consumption scenario in 2050; (3) If food demand increases by 20% of the current consumption level, a 60% increase in crop yield and a 16% conversion of pasturelands would meet grain demand and leave surplus grain to supply 23% of liquid fuel demand. We also highlight the potential roles played by biotechnology, research and development fundings, irrigation, and cropping intensity to boost crop production and ultimately make more land available for biofuel production if such an option continues to be considered in future.

Wind symphony to stage ambitious Prokofiev work
The University of North Texas Wind Symphony will present one of the few American live performances of Sergei Prokofiev's Ode to the End of War at 7:30 p.m. today in the Murchison Performing Arts Center.
The Wind Symphony is under the direction of Eugene Migliaro Corporon, regents professor of music.
Prokofiev's Ode to the End of War, written in 1945, calls for an exceptional ensemble — eight harps and four grand pianos in addition to the wind symphony.
"I know of no other wind band pieces with this many harps, as well as original parts for saxophone, which is highly original in orchestral writing," Corporon said in a news release. "While saxophones were standard in a wind band in 1945, the inclusion of saxophone parts in a Prokofiev work is unique. This is a very rare performance of Ode to the End of War, one of only a few that have happened in the United States. It's not something you see every day, and UNT's College of Music is in a unique position of having the resources to assemble this much equipment."
Tonight's performance also includes pieces by Leonard Bernstein, Eric Whitacre, Kyle Kindred, Chang Su Koh and UNT alumnus Michael Daugherty. The event features College of Music guest conductors Nipat Kanchanahud and Kristopher Quaale.
Tickets cost $10 for adults; and $8 for seniors, non-UNT students, children and university faculty, staff and retirees. UNT students can get in for free with a valid student ID.

From Thursday's Cincinnati Post:
CincyRedsFan30 ... heard any rumblings out of GABP today?Reds poised for trade noise
Kullman plans on talks this week
By Marc Lancaster
Post staff reporter
By the end of the business day Wednesday, everyone in baseball was well aware Brad Kullman is making the calls for the Reds these days.
The interim general manager said he spoke with 17 teams Tuesday and the remaining 12 teams Wednesday, trying to get a feel for who might be looking to deal and who's content to stand pat with spring training just three weeks away.
"About half the teams aren't too interested in talking, you can tell," Kullman said Wednesday night at the La Salle Sports Stag. "But there's about a dozen teams that want to talk."
Kullman figures to have at least some discussions with all of them in the coming days, particularly after he emerges from a couple of days of meetings with the baseball operations staff at Great American Ball Park. Today and Friday, at least, all of the Reds' top evaluators will be on hand to, in Kullman's words, "lay everything out" for the coming weeks.
There already are trade offers floating around, including one reportedly quashed by Dan O'Brien last week that would have sent Austin Kearns to Cleveland in a three-way deal, with the Boston Red Sox delivering right-hander Matt Clement to Cincinnati. As the Red Sox and Indians struggle to complete a swap they have been working on for at least a week, Kullman indicated there's still a chance the Reds could get involved in some variation of the aforementioned scenario.
The only question is whether it would be a good deal for the Reds. While the 31-year-old Clement has a live arm that would help the Reds' rotation, his numbers dropped off significantly last year in his first season with the Red Sox. Though his 13-6 record was nice, his ERA ballooned from 3.68 with the Cubs in 2004 to 4.57 with Boston. At the same time, his strikeouts per nine innings dove from a career-high 9.45 in 2004 to 6.88 last year.
The most daunting number of all, though, is Clement's salary. With performance incentives earned last season, he'll be due nearly $10 million in 2006 and at least $9.5 million in 2007, the last year of his current contract. Even if Boston included some cash in the deal, that would still be quite a hit for the Reds to take, considering Kearns will make only $1.85 million this season.
"That won't stop us," Kullman said of a potential salary disparity. "If there's a deal there to be made, I feel confident we can find a way to do it. It's just making sure that it's the right one."
The Reds do have some money floating around, in the form of the cash they saved by trading Sean Casey and his $8.5 million salary to Pittsburgh last month. But the Reds also have a couple of pricey arbitration cases to deal with. The team must find a way to close a $1.85 million gap with Adam Dunn and an $850,000 gap with Felipe Lopez, preferably avoiding a hearing with both.
Kullman said no progress had been made with either player as of Wednesday night, but the team would continue negotiating. He said the Reds would discuss multi-year deals with both players and would like to reach one with Dunn in particular.
"I don't want to go to hearings with them," Kullman said. "That being said, I think we have good cases if we have to. But it's a terrible process and we don't want to do it."
Whatever happens internally and externally before the Reds officially hire a general manager in the next three or four weeks, the team seems poised to at least make plenty of noise. But even Kullman can't predict whether anything significant will actually happen.
"We'll see what makes sense to pursue, and we might try and pursue some things," he said. "What comes from that, I don't know."

Plant exchange! Why not more????
Last week-end I went to a plant exchange that I had been invited to attend. It's true that I had been potting up extra plants all spring for friends and co-workers. Many flats of red blooming strawberries, bleeding hearts, corisian mint, angel tears, sweetwoodruff, mini iris, golden bamboo, chinese ground orchids, italian plum trees and anything that was encroaching into the walkways or onto the patios.
Wow! It was exciting to find out I'm not the only person who hates to compost good plants in the need to maintain a garden. I managed to give away over a couple hundred pots of varying sizes during the spring, but I had a few left overs. I just don't seem to know when to stop potting and to start recycling/composting. (the night before the exchange I potted up another flat of hellebore starts that had self-sown in the front yard)

After my last flurry of potting I packed up the car (oh dear me, it was full of plants) and headed off the next morning at the prescribed time to attend the exchange. WOW! There was about 50-75 wonderful gardeners of all ages at the exchange. The variety of plants was awe inspiring and some of the pots were five gallon size. I really didn't want to take too much, because I was feeling "planted-out", but how could I resist.
There was a real pretty little sedum/succulent, shasta daisies and fall asters in two gallon pots, and perennial sun flowers, tall white/green ornamental grass and bell flowers (Campanula) I felt I made out like a bandit, but compared to others took very little.
Succulent ( photo / image / picture from Jewell2009's Garden )
It was such a pleasant morning drinking tea/coffee, eating a scone and visiting with other gardeners discussing the pros and cons of the plants that were there. Everyone got to chose twice (making sure everyone got two plants that they really wanted), and then have whatever else they wanted that was still available (which was quite a lot).
I can't wait until next year, and I can continue potting plants knowing someone will want them.

I can't wait to see how my new arrivals (bell flowers, perennial sunflowers, and sedum) will do in my yard, and it is good to have old friends (shasta daisies and fall asters) growing in the yard again.

How I wish we had plant exchanges around here. I give away as many plants as I can but sometimes end up with more left than I bargained for or know what to do with. I do sooo hate throwing new plants away so a plant exchange would be ideal.
This plant exchange was started by one woman inviting a few friends three years ago. Amazing how fast it has grown. Someone who was having a garage sale, and another who has a new unlandscaped yard divided up the left-overs. Can't wait until next year.
We don't have plant exchange meetings either, but I wish we did. Maybe I could start one? The local gardening club has some dos, but I don't think it's a swap meet. I don't like the people in there much, lots of snobbery.
You should give it a try (starting a plant swap) Droppy. I was surprised how much fun it was since I only knew the aunt to the woman who organized it.
I sure envy you your gardening get-together. What a great way to share the wealth.

Steven Juliano is a former illustrator for Disney and HBO. He was also the frontman for the Long Beach-based band I Am Ghost. Steven has left all that behind and has now focused all his creative efforts on an upcoming graphic novel entitled Lovers and Kings: Book One. The book is a collection of amazing artwork and stories, all created by Juliano, and its release date is February 1st.
We've included three trailers created to promote Lovers and Kings: Book One, and what you will see is a pretty good representation of what's in the book. Trippy illustrations and dark tales. A bit reminiscent of the creepiness of Grant Morrison and Dave McKean's awesome Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth graphic novel.
For more on the upcoming volume as well as purchase information, visit the official Lovers and Kings: Book One website and the Lovers and Kings: Book One Facebook page. Enjoy the trailers.
Something strange and unclean has been kept hidden under lock and key and starved under the bedroom stairs for 300 tired winters. It was captured in dreams and vivid nightmares, drowned in oil and buried deep inside the forest floor just east of the moors. The small village of Bezonvaux, France has seen its fair share of death in the past few months. And everything is not as it seems.

I Have a Crush on My Friend
Group Therapy: I Have Feelings For My Friend
This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments!
About a year ago, Matt started working at the same casual job I was in. Different sectors, but we got the chance to chat a little during our shifts. Instantly, I was drawn to his character. He seemed sweet, funny and genuine; a year on that first impression was dead on. Because we have close mutual friends we started hanging out at group outings and getting to know each other better and better. We've become close friends, he messages me often and if I don't hear from him for even a day it feels peculiar.
Late last year I went away on a holiday and I realized I had feelings for him, not long after I came home, he went on his own adventure overseas with his friends but even when he was gone I heard from him pretty often, getting lengthy emails and the like. Well, now we're both home and we've continued being friends but this is getting harder and harder for me. I am at a point where I cannot tell what he thinks or feels about me. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting signals — lingering hugs, constant messages, little outings . . . but I could be completely misreading all of this out of sheer hope. He is after all a really sweet, friendly guy and a good friend.
He is painfully shy. He has never had a girlfriend, and to the best of my knowledge never really pursued a girl. I don't want to ruin our friendship, but I'm at a point where I need to know if he has any kind of feelings for me. The thing is though, I feel terrified of asking him and making a complete ass of myself. Surely if he did like me, maybe he would have made a move? Shy plus shy, equals a whole lot of confusion.
How can I tell him how I feel and find out how he feels without jeopardizing an important friendship? I'm seeing him this weekend for a group get together.
Any advice would be so greatly appreciated.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 1 – Beginner)
Topic: Bold (emotionally) (08/30/07)
TITLE: "God Only Knows"
By Frank Salerni
I gave her a loving hug and tucked her in for the night. She said, "I love you daddy" as she did each and every night. As I turned off the light and blew her a last kiss she pulled the blanket up snuggling in complete reassurance that her safety was never in question.
I followed my routine to the letter checking the doors and windows to make sure they were secure. After getting into bed I said a prayer to end my day and I drifted off into a deep slumber.
I awoke in a sweat. Uneasiness surrounded me, but I knew not why. Fear replaced the solitude of sleep. Since my wife had died it seemed that I had received additional instincts foreign to my male traits. My child was in danger. I ran to her room.
Opening the door I found her bed unoccupied. I called her name. I heard no response. Her window was open, and the cold breeze blew the lace curtains gently into the bedroom. Rage began to fill the void of endless questions within my heart. Where is she?
A closer examination at the open window revealed a jimmied lock, a torn screen, and footprints in the flowerbed just beneath the window. Pain in the form of a loud scream came from my lips as dogs wailed in response shattering the quiet of the night.
I grabbed my shotgun. I left my coat behind not wasting the time to put it on. The darkness in the forest leading from my backyard was paled compared to the blackness of my wrenched soul in this moment. Tracks were easily traced in new fallen snow. A crescent moon was enough to detect movement, but I saw none.
The start of a cars motor broke the night's silence. I ran through the forest abandoned to the pitfalls of unfamiliar ground. Only one thought consumed me, and that was getting my child back.
I came out of the trees just before the car came around a very sharp corner on an old logging road. I stood my ground with the butt of my gun facing toward my adversary. As the car yielded to the turn I jumped on the hood of the vehicle, and thrust the gun though the window entangling it within the steering wheel. My face met with the front glass as the car stopped to gain control of the road, and I fell momentarily to the ground before reaching up to grab the door handle.
Pulling myself up, and opening the door took only but a moment. The man driving was of no contest to my adrenal emotions. Snatching him from the driver's seat, and a swift blow to the side of his chin was all it took to knock him out. I grabbled the keys, still in the ignition, as I leaned into the car taking my daughter. She was panicked, crying, and bewildered. I held her in my arms. I was shaking violently from my bold attack, and wondering where it all came from. I've always been a peaceful man. I pulled a shard of broken glass from my forehead with one hand, still clutching my daughter with the other.
As I went back through the forest toward our home I contemplated… Why… why… why?

Motorsport.com staff
Koenigsegg continues to make the news with their Hypercars both on the track and in auto shows worldwide. Christian von Koenigsegg was just a kid, not yet in his teens, when he wanted to create the perfect sports car. At the age of 22, his dream became a reality.
In 1994, he opened the doors to the company that bears his name. Today, the Koenigsegg headquarters contains a top-level engineers and designers. The first prototype with its unique monocoque chassis was designed by Koenigsegg, and built with a small staff. The CC8S went into production, and of course was fully homologated and passed the crash tests.
This year they are showcasing their latest models: 2013 Agera and its sportier package, the 2013 Agera R. The Swedish Hypercars came after the previous nine models that are still on the road today. Per Koenigsegg, the two new models show their "endless pursuit for perfection", but no doubt the owner of the company that bears his name, and his staff, will continue their state-of-the-art technology for future models.
The Agera is the brainchild of Christian von Koenigsegg, and is the "only Roadster Hypercar with a detachable and stowable hardtop, bringing the best of two worlds." Performance and usability were the goals for their newest model.
The name Agera in Sweden means "to take action", and in Greek, the word means "ageless". A perfect combination!

"The boxing events at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino are major promotions, and that is a terrific venue," stated Harrison. "I am preparing for the challenge on April 12, and it's great that hundreds of my fans from the D.C. area will be there supporting me."
Also on the undercard are super featherweight, multiple title champion "Queen" Ronica Jeffrey (11-0, 1 KO), light welterweight Edgar "El Chamaco" Santana (27-4, 18 KOs), super featherweight Omar "Super O" Douglas (7-0, 5 KOs), super middleweight John "Church Boy" Bowman (5-0-1), lightweight Joey Tiberi (8-1, 5 KOs) and cruiserweight Lamont "Problem Solver" Singletary (4-0, 2 KOs).

William, Isaac and their half-brother, John Irvin Dorris, came into Tennessee in 1792 prospecting and while on the trip met up with Peter Demombeum, together with him they came on his keelboat down the Holston River to the Cumberland river and down this river to French Lick Station, what is now called Nashville, when there were few cabins and a block house. Old Captain Demombeun, a french trader came to trade with the Indians, he had his keelboat loaded with arms and ammunition to defend himself and his crew. There were no white men when he first came and the Indians came on him near the village of French Lick. He made signs of peace to them but they attacked with bows and arrows. His boat was fixed for defense and when he gave them a volley from his firearms, they fled.
William, Isaac and John went to Fort Hamilton, now known as Tyree Springs in Sumner County, Tennessee. After locating at Fort Hamilton, William, Isaac, and John went back for their families, returning by wagon to Fort Hamilton, where they secured land and settled. The rest of Samuel's children moved to Tennessee in 1798 and settled in Robertson, Davidson, and Sumner Counties and settled in three settlements, and their farms joined so that they could visit each other as often as they wished, and especially when there was preaching. Samuel and his kindred and friends built the first Baptist meeting house in Robertson County on Sulphur Creek, four miles above Springfield, Tennessee.
Samuel died in Robertson County Tennessee in 1809. Benjamin died in the Hermitage District in Davidson County Tennessee and is buried at the graveyard of Hollis Hagers, Esquire in 1815. Elizabeth married Dr. Jones of Jonesborough Illinois and died there. Isaac later moved to New Orleans. His sons Joseph and Elijah were drowned on the Gulf of Mexico. Isaac and the balance of his family died in New Orleans in 1816.
William Dorris, son of Samuel and Martha HUES Dorris was born June 1 1766 in Maryland died March 5 1832 in Sumner County Tennessee. William was a soldier in Revolutionary War as were some of his brothers. William married Catherine Frost, daughter of Josiah and Elizabeth PARSELL Frost. Catherine was born July 25 1770 and died August 1 1834
William Dorris settled on land in the Tyree Springs area West of Portland in Sumner County Tennessee. William made his will on July 31 1829 and died on March 5 1832. In his will he stated that it was his will that all his personal estate be left to his wife, Catherine and after her death it was his will that all property should be equally divided among all his lawful heirs. Witnesses were his son-in-laws, Samuel Hendricks, Pleasant Mayes and James Hendricks.
Children of William and Catherine:
1. Elizabeth (Betsey) Dorris born February 23 1787 married John Hudson
2. Samuel Frost Dorris born November 20 1789 married Susanna Pitts
3. Martha Dorris born November 20 1791
4. Rebacca Dorris born February 22 1793 married Samuel Hendricks

TORONTO (AP) - Brendan Shanahan will run the Toronto Maple Leafs after handing out suspensions the last three years.
Shanahan, a Toronto native, played 1,524 career NHL games in 21 years and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame last year.
The Leafs said Shanahan will begin in his new role immediately, and the team will hold a news conference on Monday. Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment president Tim Leiweke and Leafs vice president and general manager Dave Nonis will attend.
Nonis's presence suggests he's safe for now, despite another season when the Leafs failed to make the playoffs. Shanahan will have a say about coach Randy Carlyle's future and potentially his replacement.
The Leafs were eliminated from playoff contention Tuesday. A streak of eight straight regulation losses in March dropped them from second in the Atlantic Division.
''Very challenging time right now for our group mentally,'' Carlyle said after Thursday night's 3-2 loss in Florida.
Shanahan, who grew up in the Toronto neighborhood of Mimico, had 656 goals and 698 assists in his career with the New Jersey Devils, St. Louis Blues, Hartford Whalers, Detroit Red Wings and New York Rangers.
His ''Shanabans'' with accompanying video explanations have clarified suspensions in the NHL.

GAZIANTEP OLAY TV, 7 December 2010
ADNAN OKTAR: OurMinister of Foreign Affairs, Ahmet Davutoğlu; it is one of the explicit portents of this beuaty of the End Times, the advancement of the system of Hazrat Mahdi (as) that Almighty Allah creates, assigns such a Foreign Minister in the End Times, at the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). For instance just the opposite could also happen; he is a Foreign Minister who serves in perfect compliance with the system of Hazrat Mahdi (as), who opens a door to the system of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and approaches moderately to him, who takes love as a basis, who acts with the spirit of the system of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Notice that this is very important. [He does not fulfil this duty] with blood, weapons and pressure. He is a person who appears with love, compassion, honesty, benevolence and beauty. It is evidently seen that he acts within the spiritual kindness of the system of Hazrat Mahdi (as), with its spiritual shadow Insha'Allah.
ADIYAMAN ASU TV, 29 November 2010
ADNAN OKTAR: Mr. Davutoğlu is the most perfect Minister of Foreign Affairs ever. He is the most perfect Foreign Minister that I have seen so far. Well done, well done. He is a pure Muslim, he is a a pure descent of Turks. He is proceeding on a very beautiful path.
The BBC TV channel praised Ahmet Davutoglu and made the comment that Davutoglu may go down in history as one of the most important ministers. The report covered the explanations he made on his way to London from Baghdad in the plane and assessed the foreign policy of Turkey.
The report stressed that the foreign policy of Turkey has changed within the recent decade and drew attention to the "zero-problem policy with its neighbours."

Economist Magazine dubs Australia's housing market the second most overvalued in the world. Debtwatch's Steve Keen sees this impairing Australian banks. "Since real estate loans are worth roughly 7 times bank Tier 1 capital—up from only 2 times in 1990—it wouldn't take much of an increase in non-performing housing loans to push Australian banks to the level of impairment experienced by American banks in 2007 and 2008," notes Keen.
"Debt is more broadly distributed in Australia than in the USA…the negative effects of debt service on consumption levels are likely to be greater here than in America. This is especially so since mortgage rates today are 50% higher here than in the USA. Interest payments on mortgage debt in Australia now represent 6.7% of GDP, twice as much as in the USA. It's little wonder that Australia's retailers are crying poor."
"So if America's consumers are debt-constrained in their spending, Australian consumers are even more so—with negative implications for employment in the retail sector. Compared to the USA therefore, there is no reason to expect that Australian banks will fare better from a sustained fall in house prices."
"Generally bank shares go up with house prices and fall when property tumbles. According to Keen, falls in bank shares are normally very steep and occur shortly after house prices have passed their peaks."
In addition to real estate, Australia has benefitted from selling industrial metals to China. A retrenchment in China will only add to the turmoil.

Managing Editor
According to the official numbers, things are slightly better in Lincoln County today than they were just three years ago. But it doesn't feel that way.
The official unemployment rate for Lincoln County is 10.48 percent. That isn't an acceptable level, but it's much better than the 14.1 percent average unemployment we saw during 2009.
Despite the slightly improved statistic, the local economy doesn't seem very healthy to those of us living in it.
Small business owners speak of a constant struggle to stay afloat. Charitable groups describe surging demand for assistance while donations and other resources dry up. Those who do advertise job openings become inundated with applicants hungry for work. Those seeking jobs wait and wait, as hope slowly dies.
The unemployment rate is simply the wrong number, a misleading figure that doesn't tell the whole story, much less capture the daily despair with which many people in Lincoln County are struggling.
Here's a different number: The average number of people employed in Lincoln County for the first seven months of this year was 34,353, according to data from the N.C. Department of Commerce. That's about 43.3 percent of the total Lincoln County population, based on recent population estimates and population growth trends, making it the lowest percentage of the population that's working in this county since these records have been kept, probably the lowest since the Great Depression.
Our jobs market not only hasn't recovered in Lincoln County; it's reaching its lowest point and could go even lower. The month-to-month levels for these numbers have shown some upticks this year, but have fallen back in the most recent months.
Let's try to get some historical perspective about what this means, what's been happening and why these different statistics point to different things.
Our workforce in Lincoln County — the combined total of people working and of people officially counted as looking for work — has averaged about 38,485 this year, about 48.3 percent of the total population.
Unemployment rates represent the percentage of that workforce that isn't working, but is looking for work. Because of those definitions, the unemployment rate is already looking at less than half of the people in the county.
We can't really talk about the total population that's not counted in the workforce as "unemployed," though they certainly aren't "employed." Most of those people aren't eligible for work, don't need to work or don't want to work. This includes children, retirees and homemakers.
However, those not included in the workforce also includes a rapidly growing number of people who have given up, temporarily or permanently, and are no longer trying to find jobs. This is the hidden mass of desperation in Lincoln County, and probably much of the rest of the country.
We can't easily count people in this category. But we can make an attempt by looking at some other numbers.
Lincoln County's population has risen consistently since 1990. The workforce ought to be growing with the population, which is what happened through 2007 when it peaked. But it's slipped every year since then, even though the population has continued to grow. That's why this recession is so different from previous ones.
Some of the highest numbers for population participating in the workforce came in the mid-1990s, when our yearly averages were at least 55 percent every year, with the percent of residents actually employed only slightly below.
Those numbers dipped a bit during the economic turmoil of the bursting dot-com bubble and the 9/11 attacks, a period that also saw the closing of several local mills.
But the national, state and local economies all rebounded in the mid-2000s, with our local numbers clearly peaking in 2007. Then the housing bubble burst. By late 2008, the closely related banking disasters plunged our economy into the current recession.
Unlike previous recessions, when our workforce participation numbers continued to climb along with the population, and only the percentages of those working dipped slightly, this time all numbers have dropped significantly and steadily. The one exception is the official unemployment rate, which is why it's the most misleading indicator for our situation.
We have about 3,500 fewer people working in Lincoln County than we did in 2007, even though our estimated population is up by nearly 6,800 during the same period. Some of those new people are children, retirees and disabled folks who aren't going to be part of the workforce anyway. But a lot of those leaving the workforce are people who have given up.
Presumably, if 54.8 percent of Lincoln County residents were happily employed or wanted to be in 2007, then about that same percent would love to be employed today, even though only about 43.3 percent of them are.
Based on this, we might reasonably calculate a real unemployment picture, including those who have dropped off the radar in both the ranks of the jobless and the total workforce. Adding those to the people already being counted as unemployed, we would find a real unemployment rate in Lincoln County of about 21 percent.
In other words, about 1 in 5 people in Lincoln County who would like to have a job can't find one and may have given up looking. Countless more are likely qualified for much better jobs than they can find, but have to take whatever is available under current conditions.
These statistics have no political affiliation or ideology. Our county government, state legislature and U.S. House of Representatives are controlled by conservative Republicans. Our city government, governor's mansion, U.S. Senate and White House are controlled by liberal Democrats. There's plenty of blame to go around.
But in this political season, Lincoln County needs to understand exactly what the problem is. Then we can start thinking about electing the right folks to fix it.

text: Hi All, I'm a current BMW compact driver (2002) which has a 2 litre auto petrol engine running on LPG. I've just managed to get the car through its MOT, but its costing me increasing amounts of money and all in all I've lost trust in it (and the wishbones need replacing in the next month, which is another £300 on a £1500 car). I've seen an Audi A6 Estate 2.0 TFSI manual for sale at a price I can deal with, £5,000. Its got 125,000 miles on it, leather seats, Sat Nav and is an S-line from a private seller. Full audi service history, had cam belt changed. Couple of things I'd like to know: I've read that TFSI engines cannot be converted to LPG, is that a definite? The boring question, what sort of mpg should I expect out of it around town, on the motorway at 70, motorway at 80 and combined? Are there any real inherent weak points on these cars? I've read the engine if run on premium is pretty decent? Is 125,000 miles going to cost me a lot of money in the next 3 years (assuming 15,000 a year)? Are they a good car in general? How simple are they for DIY fixes? My BMW is a great car to work on yourself. I've managed without an estate recently with the use of bungee cords on my hatchback, though it is in no way ideal (and also, I'm buying a kayak in the next few weeks as well as building a rowing boat which will both need to be transported in/on it!). No kids though, and no dogs - but not going to let that stop me. Thanks all, Pie

Dee has always been good at wearing masks. Not letting anyone see the real her. She's content being the happy-go-lucky best friend. The strong willed boss. The independent woman who doesn't need a man. She's terrified that all it will take is one person to make all her carefully constructed walls crumble into fine dust. The second Beck sees Dee, he knows that she will be his. He sees past the gorgeous smiles and heart-stopping laughter. She doesn't want him to know her secrets or the past that haunts her, but he makes it his mission to find out. Dee can run all she wants, but it will never be far enough to stop Beck from coming after her. She's it for him and she knows it. She's just too scared to admit it.
Contains mature themes.
©2013 E.S. Harper (P)2014 Tantor
"Best book so far"
Loved this book from beginning to end. Had me crying through most of it How much heart ache can one person have. Beck it a true gent
In this series, Beck is right along side the other two, Axel & Cage. This story was much different than the other two but equally as great.
Beck. It was astonishing how he just kept hanging in with Dee; how he knew who she was and could see through her "happy-go-lucky, over-the-top glee" to her pain and had the patience and tenacity to not only wait her out, but gently and sometimes not so gently push her beyond her masks.
All of it throughout the series.
Yes, but not possible.
Not sure why we (meaning those of us who got caught up in this series) had to loose one of our own (no spoilers) but I guess if the rest of the books get published in audio, which I'm praying for, we'll find out.
You know what you're going to get with this series..... hot Alpha types, a drama filled listen, hot sex, passion and a group of former US Marines who love each other like brothers and will do anything for each other. But the one thing I wasn't prepared for this time was the bitter heartache when the author kills off a main player..... that was a tough pill to swallow. I thought Harper Sloan was brave to do this and to shake up characters and to introduce other characters - so kudos to you...... even if I hated it.
Dee is feisty but she has had a hard life and life just keeps kicking her in the face with more heartbreak until there's nothing left except a mask cleverly erected to protect her from anymore hurt and pain but behind it she's withering away. Her 'so called' friends can't see it but Beck does and he's desperately trying to hold on to her, to show her how much he cares and that he'll be there no matter what but sometimes love just isn't enough and Dee find out you have to hit rock bottom before you can climb..... then soar.
This is a heartbreaking story but it's also one that shows us when a Corps Security guy falls in love it's forever - no matter the cost, consequences or outcome, it's unconditional and Beck really had to hold on and ride the emotional wave that was Dee in order to be there at the end when it all came crashing in around her. Plenty of sex, humor, romance by the bucketful, suspense, drama and angst as Dee stirs up trouble which leads to a lot of danger, tears, shocking events and a death. Good character growth with Dee too.
Dual POV, good narrators, a story that goes back in time then spans a few years giving fans of the series up-to-date news of the previous couples, a strong but vulnerable heroine and a sexy, loyal and caring hero and together their explosive in the bedroom, the kitchen etc., etc., etc.
Worth a credit? It may take me a bit of time to listen to these books as there are so many good books being released everyday and sometimes I'm in the mood for Vampires, or Billionaires, or Wolves, or Bikers..... well you get the drift but it's a series I will always come back to because they're all one big tortured happy family. Creditworthy - you bet.
"Please, some common sense would be nice"
I am a very emphatic person. I have shed more tears over books and movies than anyone I know but, this story is just stupid. I totally get that women can have relationship issues due to the relationships with their fathers; I myself did not have a healthy relationship with my father that caused issues. But good God, as a. grown woman you get over it. Especially if you haven't been around the man in 10 years.
(spoiler alert )
I also know that PTSD is a real issue but this woman who gets beaten and raped by her best friends husband, after they have been married for two years, does not do the smart common sense thing and report the event to the police. No, she says nothing to anyone, not even to her best to that is married to this monster. She allows her friend to be stuck in that relationship for four more years through beating after beating until her darn near kills her. She could have had the man arrested, saved her friend and started healing from her trauma a decade before she does in the book. Come on, so stupid. I usually love this author's work but this story is rediculous. Also, the male narrator's women voices are so bad they make me cringe.
-V from Kansas
"A strong man"
I loved how Beck never gave up on D and his love for her even though it took him 2 yrs. to get through to her he was always there. I love the character of these military men so strong and full of promise in this story.
"Laughing till you cry"
Every time I read it listen to this book I always cry about Coop but always get a laugh from Sway..... Love how Dee and Beck have finally connected... Love this series it is very heart felt
"Still Love Harper"
I still love you Harper. Great narration Great Story! Not sure Harper could write anything I wouldn't like.
oh man..the emotion!! beck isnt as alpha male a cage..but damn the emotions in this book will rock you to your core!! still a drool worthy book and i cant wait to get to the next one
"Good next in the series"
This story is a bit respective of the first in the series. You will enjoy the book much more if you have the back story of the first book in the series
"Wow, Sexy, Hot, Alpha with patients"
This is an erotic, action, romance book.
FINALLY. The story of Beck and Dee. I would HIGHLY advise you to read the other books before you read this, I do know they can be a stand alone, but you are missing out on the characters and more hot alpha male and we can't forget about Shay.
Dee has secrets and the only person who has been there through it all is Beck, but the dark secrets are about to come to light. Friends, family and relationship will be tested. This book has more secrets that sheds a light on the time Dee and a certain ex-husband's encounter. The bedroom is hotter than ever. Who knew that Beck was that good. Dee's work has a secret as well, one so dangerous it places her life in danger, but the risk of losing Beck is greater.
Beck has been patient, years he waited, years he picked her up and for years he stood by watching her destroy herself and become more distance. But if there is one thing Beck is good at is waiting for his reward, and Dee is his Ever After. When his one patients snaps and the secret he has been holding on to about Dee come crashing down on the entire Corps family, they rally together scared and bruised, especially when they learn of a secret that Dee has been hiding right under their noses.
Awesome book, love it and it is getting better.
"Calling All Alpha Lovers"
Definitely getting my alpha male fix in this series. The stories are intense and sexy and move fast. My only complaint this time is Beck's voice - the accent sounds forced and is honestly a bit much. Other than that, I enjoyed listening to this book on audio.

Justin Bieber gets a Fisker Karma for his 18th birthday
While cougars the world over are sharpening their claws, Justin Bieber has already gotten a phenomenal present for his 18th birthday: A Fisker Karma, a plug-in hyprid sports car that costs a smidge over $100,000, which he got from his agent when Bieber was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday. Boy, we really need to get tickets to that show.
"You work really really hard," manager Scooter Braun told the Biebs. "I always yell at you, 'Don't get anything flashy!' You know, we're not about that. Be humble, be humble. And I kind of broke my own rule. We wanted to make sure, since you love cars, that when you're on the road you are always environmentally friendly. And we decided to get you a car that would make you stand out … I think you know where I'm going, and you're kind of freaking out right now. That's a Fisker Karma."
Justin obviously was a bit surprised -- "That's for me? That's crazy!" he said -- but what do you expect? The kid makes like $84,000 a minute. Leonardo DiCaprio got the first Karma ever made, people notes, and folks like Al Gore and Colin Powell lined up for one, too, so he obviously is in the company of his peers. The real question is, why couldn't this kid afford one of these when he was 16?

A new FAA Safety Alert for Operators (SAFO 06014) has been published to emphasize that if pilots plan to take off with polished frost on the wings or control surfaces as currently permitted by regulations, they should do so only in accordance with an aircraft manufacturer's approved procedures. Yet, according to the FAA, the accident history has shown that contamination "of any kind" can adversely affect the aerodynamic properties of an airfoil, "and that the safest course of action is to completely remove all contaminants from wing and flight control surfaces." Therefore, the FAA says in the SAFO that it "cannot support the practice of merely polishing frost on a wing or control surface." The agency also says that, pending rule changes, operators should ensure that no contaminants, including frost, are adhering to wings or control surfaces immediately before takeoff. At press time, it was not clear if the FAA would initiate rulemaking to prohibit polishing frost instead of removing it.

No Medicaid expansion without Medicaid reform. That's the battle cry of Republican state lawmakers this session. On KWOS Open Air, Jefferson City Representative Jay Barnes says he supports a bill that tightens Medicaid restrictions.
The bill would allow Medicaid recipients to choose their own plan, and would also increase eligibility for the working poor.

The ovaries are also the main source of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. One ovary is located on each side of the uterus in the pelvis. Risk Factors Age — The likelihood of developing ovarian cancer increases as a woman gets older with most ovarian cancers occurring in women over the age of 50. Childbearing — Women who have never had children are more likely to develop ovarian cancer than women who have had children. The more children a woman has had, the less likely she is to develop ovarian cancer. Family History — First-degree relatives (mother, daughter or sister) of a woman who has had ovarian cancer are at increased risk of developing this type of cancer themselves, especially if two or more first-degree relatives have had the disease. Fertility Drugs — Drugs that cause a woman to ovulate may slightly increase a woman's chance of developing ovarian cancer. Hormone Replacement Therapy — Some evidence suggests that women who use hormone replacement therapy after menopause may have a slightly increased risk of developing ovarian cancer. Personal History — Women who have had breast or colon cancer may have a greater chance of developing ovarian cancer than women who have not had breast or colon cancer. Talc — Some studies suggest that women who have used talc in the genital area for many years may be at increased risk of developing ovarian cancer. Symptoms Abdominal discomfort and/or pain (gas, indigestion, pressure, swelling, bloating, cramps) Abnormal bleeding from the vagina Feeling of fullness (even after light meals) Loss of appetite Nausea, diarrhea, constipation or frequent urination Weight gain or loss (with no known reason) Diagnosis Your physician will conduct a thorough physical examination and may use the following diagnostic tests to determine the presence of ovarian cancer: Biopsy — The surgeon will remove tissue in the abdomen. If cancer is suspected, the surgeon will remove the entire ovary. This is important because if cancer is present, removing just a sample of tissue by cutting through the outer layer of the ovary could allow cancer cells to escape and cause the disease to spread. CA-125 Assay — This blood test measures the level of CA-125, a tumor marker that is often found in higher-than-normal amounts in the blood of women with ovarian cancer. CT (or CAT) Scan — A CT scan will provide a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body. The pictures are created by a computer and linked to an X-ray machine. Lower GI Series (or barium enema) — This is a series of X-rays of the colon and the rectum taken after the patient is given an enema with a white, chalky solution containing barium. The barium outlines the colon and rectum on the X-ray, making tumors or other abnormal areas easier to see. Pelvic Exam — This exam feels the uterus, vagina, ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder and rectum to detect abnormalities. Ultrasound — High-frequency sound waves are aimed at the ovaries. The pattern of the echoes they produce creates a sonogram and differentiates healthy tissues and fluid-filled cysts from tumors. Source: National Cancer Institute

For weeks now my littles have been asking for a movie night. Sometimes is just seems like after the hustle and bustle of the holidays is over, it's hard to carve out family time like that...
So I while I was at Walmart to picking up supplies for home projects I've also been putting off, and I picked up a copy of The Boxtrolls {available while supplies last} and a 10 count {enough to fill up all those bags!} box of Pop Secret popcorn. Movie night plan done and done. ;)
What's important to me when putting evenings like this together is making things feel special, but not to ruin the fun of the moment by fussing so much that no one enjoys it. Printable popcorn bags paired with store bought popcorn is just the way for me to combine fun and convenience.
To create your own movie night popcorn bags, all you need is a home printer, regular brown lunch bags, and this free printable template.
Click here to download the template.
After you've downloaded the template, use a piece of washi or masking tape to secure the flap of the lunch bag.
Adjust your printer tray as necessary to accommodate the size of the bag.
Start printing, being sure to insert bags so they print in the right direction. {I always feed the bags one by one to avoid any paper jams.}
Fill your bags and enjoy an evening with the family watching The Boxtrolls!

Where am I? You're in cyberspace, of course! This web page provides links to writings of Theodore Plantinga that fit under the general heading that's supposed to appear at the very top of your netbrowser screen. Other TP writings can be found on the Myodicy home page. The reformational history series (temporarily suspended, along with Myodicy when Frictophobia was launched) has its own home page. And then there are additional writings that can through yet another web page. Please note that there is some overlap between Frictophobia and Myodicy: the former includes links to documents in the latter.
Heresy and apologetics
In apologetics we sometimes get carried away. I have often taught Philosophy of Religion, and I usually include some instruction about apologetics and perhaps even some in-class exercises. In a book that originated from a course I taught at Calvin College many years ago, I deal with apologetics in relation to many issues, including that of heresy (both traditional and secular). Click here to read Contending for the Faith: Heresy and Apologetics.
It's easier to assume something than to prove it
Religious argument is a tricky business. Wouldn't it be convenient if you could get some things accepted as true simply by asserting that everyone knows that they're true? You could then sputter: "Well, it goes without saying.... I hardly need to point out that ...." Religious argumentation in the Dutch Reformed world tends to work that way -- or some of it, at least. Click here to read "It Goes Without Saying: Reflections on Vanzelfsprekendheid" (Myodicy).
Defending fundamentalism
Frictophobes would like to legislate debate (and perhaps even advocacy) right out of our society. This website wants to defend advocacy, whether the gospel being peddled is some new diet, the very best form of yoga known to humankind, the political party to vote for in the next election, or the series of steps you must take to get saved. Jesus said we would always have the poor with us: I would add zealots and fundamentalists to the list. And as long as they stick to words rather than reaching for the sword (Jesus had to correct Peter on this point, as you may recall), we should give them room to operate. Click here to read "The Right to Annoy People: In Defense of Fundamentalism" (Myodicy).
An unwilling fool
Charles Fiske is a forgotten man today, but his book The Confessions of a Puzzled Parson (1928) still has something to teach us. Fiseke was a bit too modest, for he wasn't just a parson but a bishop -- in the American branch of the Anglican Church. Click here to read "Unwilling Fools: Reflections on Charles Fiske" (Myodicy).
A monopoly on the truth
The churches that aren't too keen on ecumenism or gettig chummy with believers in other faith communities like their own will often give you you impression that God has given them some sort of monopoloy on the truth. It's a stirring idea, but it's not all that easy to mantain in practice. Click here to read "The Truth About the Truth: Reflections on Denominational Exclusivism" (Myodicy).

North Carolina A woman who was a scientist for a drug company admitted in court Monday that she conspired with her lover five years ago to fatally poison her husband, a pediatric AIDS researcher.
Ann Miller Kontz, 35, was sentenced to 25 to 31 1/2 years in prison after her attorney read a statement saying she felt "a deep sense of remorse and regret" for Eric Miller's death.
Authorities said Kontz, who worked at GlaxoSmithKline, was having an affair with a co-worker when her husband was poisoned by arsenic, a colorless and usually tasteless poison once common in ant and rat killers.
Under a plea deal, Kontz admitted conspiring with the co-worker, Derril Willard, and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.

TAMPA — Michael Clayton says he had a conversation with Raheem Morris a couple of years ago that confirmed what he suspected: The Bucs needed tougher players who shared his mentality.
"He pulled me aside, and I asked him, 'Rah, how many guys on this team do you think would do whatever it takes to win?' " Clayton said of the Bucs' new coach. "He pointed out about five guys. We were going through a lot of things, and many of the coaches thought things were going one way and we should maybe go another way. Now I see what he's doing, surrounding himself with guys who will fight, who are warriors, who are physical and will change the mentality. When we come out of that locker room, I promise you, with the guys he's putting around him, the other team should be intimidated by how hard we play."
Clayton is now one of those players Morris is counting on after signing a five-year, $26 million contract Sunday that includes $10.5 million in guarantees. The free agent turned down more lucrative offers from the Lions, Vikings and Seahawks.
A first-round pick in 2004 who led all rookies with 80 catches for 1,193 yards and seven touchdowns, Clayton struggled the past four seasons under coach Jon Gruden, catching just two touchdown passes during that stretch.
"It was a long five years, and a lot of things didn't go my way," Clayton said. "I made the best of the situation, and I played hard. Coach Gruden wanted a different role from me. I don't have to play on eggshells. … I love the game of football, and I play it with passion. Every coach I met, not one could say anything bad about me during the process. They totally understood what happened. It wasn't all about numbers."
Clayton, 26, said he has been renewed by the free agent process, commanding a salary of about $5 million per year.
He was scheduled to leave Minnesota about 5:30 p.m. Saturday for a flight to Seattle, where the Seahawks were prepared to make a big push to sign him. But Clayton said he had remained in close contact with Morris and general manager Mark Dominik and was willing to leave some money on the table for a chance to remain in Tampa.
As talks with the Bucs heated up Saturday, Clayton deliberately missed his flight to Seattle and rescheduled for a 9:30 p.m. departure. That was enough time for him to reach an agreement with the Bucs, and he returned to Tampa on Sunday morning.
"In my heart, I always knew where I wanted to be."
Broncos QB Cutler angry after trade talk
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Trade talks involving Jay Cutler have strained the relationship between the Broncos' franchise quarterback and new coach Josh McDaniels.
Before Matt Cassel was traded from the Patriots to Chiefs on Saturday, Cutler's name came up in a proposed three-way deal with the Bucs that would have brought Cassel to Denver and landed Cutler in Tampa.
McDaniels was the Patriots offensive coordinator last season when he helped guide Cassel to an 11-5 record after Tom Brady's season-ending left knee injury on opening weekend.
Cutler, 25, the 11th overall pick out of Vanderbilt in 2006, told the Denver Post that he was angry that his name even came up in trade talks and said he still feels he's on the trading block — something McDaniels denies.
"I'm upset. I mean, I'm really shocked at this point," Cutler told the Post. "I could see why they want Cassel. I don't know if they think I can't run the system or I don't have the skills for it. Or if they don't think they can sign me with my next contract. I just don't know what it is. I've heard I'm still on the trading block."
McDaniels said the Broncos didn't initiate the talks, only listened. Left unsaid was anything about whether the Broncos nixed the proposed deal.
Crabtree picks surgery: Texas Tech wideout Michael Crabtree won't perform at his school's pro day March 26, opting to have surgery on a stress fracture in his left foot Wednesday. He will rehab for at least 10 weeks.
Cardinals: With no new deal, quarterback Kurt Warner plans to visit other teams. The 11-year veteran, 37, is expected to meet with the 49ers this week.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Thank you for your question. Please permit me to assist you with your both questions.1) What happens if I avoid getting served? i.e. I terminate my mailing address. In the end they don't have my current address on file.It is not against the law to try to avoid service. If you avoid being served, depending on the cause of action, the case might be forced to stay in limbo until you are finally formally served. Just be aware that service does not simply have to take place at home--a process server may attempt process at work if they have that location, or through past associations such as spouses or members of the immediate family.2) The case is about an insurance company suing me over an accident where my insurance was expired. If I get accept getting served, do I have any chance of representing myself in court?I would be remiss to answer this with any degree of certainty one way or another. Each case is different so without reviewing the underlying concerns I have no idea how weak or strong their claim against you may be. Having said that, if you are not contesting that your insurance was expired, this most likely creates a situation where you would have a very hard time prevailing on your own, or even with an attorney. I couldn't afford a lawyer and I was wondering if there is a way I can represent myself and get some sort of settlement without losing my DLThat is possible--you could always reach out to the opposing side through their attorney and see if they are willing to seek a settlement or a payment plan under which they would agree to allow you to pay less, or in installments.Hope that helps.
If I get served is there anything that protects me against those huge fees the insurance company might impose in court? I mean I'm sorry but I see how people manipulate courts asking for thousands and thousands and I'm only a college student...
If the ticket I got after the accident got dismissed by court, does that help in any way?
Thanks again
George,Thank you for your follow-up. Ultimately the last line of defense is filing for bankruptcy. Judgments can be discharged via a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition to the courts. This is of course the last option available, but it is still a very legitimate option if you are (rightly) concerned about extreme judgments.The ticket and the suit are somewhat separate. One does not really help (or hurt) the other--getting the ticket dismissed may allow you to claim or show that the other party was liable for their own injuries but this is pure guesswork on my end as I have not seen your facts in person. It can lessen their claim of liability, potentially, but if you struck their vehicle from the rear (for example), then you are presumed to be primarily liable for the damages.Hope that helps and please let me know if I can assist further.
Dear Dimitri,
One last question please, does filing for bankruptcy affect my eligibility for federal students loans?
Thanks really,
George,Thank you for your follow-up. That is a really good question. Federal student loans are generally not dischargeable through bankruptcy. Filing for bankruptcy does not grant you the ability to discharge those past debts and does not affect your future ability to seek funds, at least in general terms. State loans or private loans may be affected by bankruptcy.Hope that helps.
If I accept getting served by the server and then I go to court. Should I file for bankruptcy before the court or afterwards? Would the court suspend my DL if I declare bankruptcy? Im honestly considering that option to start fresh again.
George,Thank you for your follow-up. If you file for BK your driver's license is not suspended. You can file at any time, filing before the court will still permit you to lit this potential debt on your filing and get it discharged once a judgment is obtained.Good luck.

Not even a little gun related
But a fun filled weekend in NC a few weeks ago.
Videos come standard with each of my vacation.
Looks like a lot of lawbreaking...With a little fun. Was your Speedo set to Km/h? The trees didn't appear to be moving by fast enough for 155 mph.
Cool vid. I've read about The Dragon on a couple of the bike forums I belong to.
Are you going to Barber's Museum on the 10th of October? Big swap going on.
Sweet ass video Jester.
Did you have to hang any body parts on THE tree?
Glad the video is enjoyed and well received. I enjoy making videos. That's part of what I do for a living. I've been lucky to have a job I enjoy.
And no way I'll make it to Barber. I race one race weekend there a few years ago but I live in Iowa now. That's a long haul for a swap. That is the epitome of motorcycle racing in the US though. That's an awesome track by all respects.
