The girls are limbering up their sticks in the Lone Star State today, getting ready for the second edition of the North Texas LPGA Shootout at Las Colinas Country Club in Irving, Texas. This evening they'll network with a hundred or so women from the North Texas Business Community who share a passion for golf and success and tomorrow they'll participate in the tourney's Pro-Am event, teaming up with top high school players and local amateur golfers for 18 holes of fun and frolic. Two of the talented high school players, Annika Clark and Maddie Szeryk, have already qualified to play in the 72-hole Shootout that begins Thursday. Let's keep an eye on the pair and see how they hold up playing with the big dogs!
Inbee Park's the defending champion at the North Texas Shootout. Park claimed the 2013 victory at -13, with a one stroke edge over runner-up Carlota Ciganda. Suzann Pettersen took a solo 3rd, trailing Park by three shots. All three are in the field again this year although I don't see Ciganda or Pettersen playing for the top of the board. Park, who has six top-10 2014 finishes and has been consistently carding sub-par rounds in the 60s, looks good to mount an effective defense of her title.
The Rolex Ranked No. 1 Park is winless in 2014 and although she's been holding onto the top of the rankings for 55 consecutive weeks, she's going to need to outplay three serious challengers to record back-to-back wins at Las Colinas.
A Trio of Power Players
Stacy Lewis, who got out-dueled by Lydia Ko at last week's Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic in an exciting and, for both players, physically and mentally exhausting final round, is in the field and will be looking for redemption. (Ko is taking the week off and not playing in the Shootout. ) With seven top-10 finishes this year, Lewis stands at the top of the year-long Race to the CME Globe in points accumulated and she wants to put this one in her win column and collect 500 more Globe points as well as the lion's share of the $1.4 million purse.
But does Lewis have the energy to out-play Lexi Thompson and Michelle Wie, who look to be close challengers this week?
Rolex Ranked No. 6 Thompson is coming into the North Texas Shootout with a stunning victory at the Tour's first major, the Kraft Nabisco Championship, brimming with self confidence and fully rested. Although Thompson got off to a slow start this season, her game's warmed up. Thompson seems to thrive on competition. She's effervescent and at her best when she's faced with a tough shot or a clutch putt. I look for Thompson to stay in contention at Las Colinas.
Wie moved up to 13th in the Rolex Rankings following her win at the LPGA LOTTE Championship two weeks ago, and she gave Thompson some good competition at the Kraft Nabisco and finished the Swinging Skirts in a 9th place tie. She's playing with extraordinary confidence and a calm, focused presence, and she's worked a long time to refine her winning game. She's going to stay in contention this weekend.
Thompson and Wie are long hitters off the tee and will be able to out-drive both Park and Lewis, but putting is a weakness for both of them as well. I have no doubt they'll get to the putting surface quickly on the 6410-yard Las Colinas course, but will they be able to close the deal consistently? If it boils down to a putting contest, Wie could well come out the winner. Even though she couldn't hold back Thompson at the Kraft Nabisco, Wie out-putted Lewis at the Swinging Skirts last week by five putts.
On the Hunt for Their 1st Tour Win
Gerina Piller and Lizette Salas are both poised for a breakthrough year. Salas, who's at 16 in the Rolex Rankings, has recorded two top-10 finishes this year and Piller, who's ranked 30th by Rolex, has recorded three. Salas played an especially impressive if ultimately heartbreaking game of golf at the Kia Classic with a runner-up finish and Piller, too, got very close to the top of the board at the Honda LPGA Thailand. They're both going to add a Tour victory to their resumes soon and one of them could do it this week at Las Colinas.
Jenny Shin is also ready to claim her first Tour win and her performance last weekend at the Swinging Skirts showed me a game that's fully capable of taking the top of the board. Rolex Ranked No. 30 Shin played steady, unshakable, shot-for-shot golf against two of the Tour's biggest power players, Stacy Lewis and Lydia Ko and she outplayed Inbee Park by two strokes.

'Dores looking to rebound at Shannon; Blue Devils host SHS for homecoming
Lafayette will try to get some momentum back while Water Valley looks to continue its season-long momentum as both teams are set to hit the midway point of their respective seasons Friday night. (September 20, 2013, Page 6A)
WVHS edges Bruce in another nailbiter
BRUCE — The concession stands may want to stack up on Pepto-Bismol, or at least TUMS and Rolaids, to help calm the nervous stomachs when Water Valley and Bruce meet again.
Friday's backyard rivalry with the Blue Devils and Trojans played out much the same as the previous two contests between the squads with the game undecided until the final minutes of the fourth quarter. The Blue Devils (4-0 overall) came out of Trojan Field with a 22-16 win, but not without a scare. (September 16, 2013, Page 3B)
Blue Devils face familiar foe in Bruce
After squaring off against an undefeated team last week, Water Valley will take on another one Friday night in a Bruce squad with which WVHS coach Brad Embry is all too familiar. (September 12, 2013, Page 10)
Blue Devils run around, through CCHS Wildcats
WATER VALLEY — Calhoun City held a 6-0 lead over Water Valley late in the first half. It looked like the Blue Devils were going to have their first scare of the young season. Then senior quarterback E.J. Bounds and the rest of Water Valley offense woke up, scoring 42 unanswered points for a blowout 42-6 victory over the Wildcats. (September 9, 2013, Page 2B)
Bounds, Devils roll rival Coffeeville
WATER VALLEY — The Blue Devils' run with the Railroad Trophy stayed on track Friday night thanks to a 56-20 win against county rival Coffeeville at Bobby Clark Field. (September 2, 2013, Page 1B)

Area teams open 2013 seasons tonight
Tough pre-regional schedules are the rule rather than the exception for Oxford, Lafayette and Water Valley high schools as they open their 2013 slates tonight. Oxford hosts defending MAIS champion Jackson Prep, Class 4A Lafayette travels to Class 6A Tupelo and Class 3A Water Valley plays at defending Region 2-4A champion New Albany. All three games have 7 p.m. kickoffs and can be heard on local radio stations. (August 23, 2013, Page 7A)
Blue Devils ready for tough road opener
Water Valley football coach Brad Embry is pleased with the progress his program has made and said that the Blue Devils are ready to take on larger classification schools in early games in an effort to get better as the season goes along. The Blue Devils travel to Class 4A New Albany this Friday night. (August 22, 2013, Page 7)
Blue Devils excited about start of practice
WATER VALLEY — There's no such thing as an off-season anymore. You're either in-season or your training to be in-season.
Once football season concludes, winter workouts start. Then there's the spring season. Once summer rolls around, 7-on-7 "season" clicks into high gear to fill the gaps between workouts. (more…) (August 6, 2013, Page 6)

In the second and final debate in Utah's U.S. Senate race, Democrat Scott Howell said Friday that the cornerstone of Sen. Orrin Hatch's campaign has crumbled — his contention that Utahns should vote for him because he will likely become chairman of the Senate Finance Committee to help Mitt Romney make real change.
"According to the most respected national pollsters, Republicans only have a 12 percent chance of taking the majority in the Senate," needed for Hatch to become chairman, Howell said.
"Rocky Anderson has a better chance of being president than Orrin being chairman of the Finance Committee," Howell said. Anderson, the former Salt Lake City mayor, is running for president on the Justice Party ticket.
But Hatch said he has more confidence than Howell that Republicans may win the Senate and that he will become chairman. "Even if I'm not, I'm still Republican leader [on the committee] and they have to run everything by me, and I have a lot of say and a lot of clout."
Hatch said if Democrats win the Senate and Romney is president, "He probably needs me more if we are still in the minority." He added that he has "the experience, the clout and the raw determination to continue to stand up for Utah and for our country."
But Howell said a President Romney would find Howell to be someone who could help end gridlock in the Senate and build bipartisan support for his agenda. "I will be the one who compromises, that brings about bipartisanship, and I'll be about crossing the aisle. I've done that all in my history at the Utah State Senate," where he was the Senate minority leader for eight years.
The pair spent much of their hour on KSL Radio's "Doug Wright Show" jousting about partisan stalemate and whether it's time for a change after Hatch's 36 years in the Senate.
The candidates had a testy exchange after Hatch charged that Democrats have "a voracious desire to increase taxes" while never delivering promised spending cuts, "and that's why we're $16-plus trillion in national debt. It isn't the Republicans who have done that."
Howell shot back: "There you go again. It's those Democrats … "
Hatch interrupted to say: "I didn't say that. We need Democrats to work with Republicans … Don't misrepresent."
Howell then continued, saying Hatch "said it was those Democrats who did that... Remember when Republicans took over Congress during the Bush years? They didn't decrease spending, they increased it. Orrin became part of that problem, and hasn't let go of that."
While Hatch once worked across the aisle with Democrats, Howell said, he has not done so recently as he moved to the right to win support from tea partyers and has helped push the Senate into gridlock.
Hatch responded by quoting The Salt Lake Tribune's endorsement of him.
"It said in short, Orrin Hatch knows about bipartisan compromise. Others talk about crossing the aisle. He has done it."
Howell retorted by pointing out "The Tribune endorsed President Obama as well as Orrin Hatch."
Howell said an example of Hatch pandering to the far right was backing off from his support of the DREAM Act, which he introduced, to allow undocumented children brought into the country by their parents to attend college and work towards citizenship.
"Senator Hatch has abandoned something that he once championed. That is so disappointing," Howell said.
Hatch claimed "Democrats changed the DREAM Act to where I cannot support it."
The Republican said Utah voters know who will best represent them.
"We all know there is a liberal party and there is a conservative party. I belong to the conservative party," Hatch said.
"Who can best fight for us in Utah and win? That is the real issue … I would not be running if I didn't fervently believe that I can make a compelling difference for Utah and for this great country."
Howell, a retired IBM executive, said he admired Hatch, "but at IBM if you don't do something in a year, you're fired … Utahns would be better served by electing a conservative Democrat."

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) -- Investigative crews have begun analyzing soil beneath the former Chrysler plant in Kenosha to determine how much cleanup will be needed.
Buildings at the 109-acre site have already been razed. But before the land can be used again, crews need to treat the ground for chemicals and other contaminants.
City Administrator Frank Pacetti says the first step is to gather information and figure out where the city needs to start. He says Chrysler's plant operators didn't test the soil beneath their buildings so the city has to do it now.
Most of the remediation efforts will be covered using funds from the state Department of Natural Resources

Manager was super. Park was clean. New restrooms and showers are under construction. Entry to the park crosses very steep downgrade from roaring railroad tracks. Have some concerns about getting out of here with our rig. Trains are non stop. I have not slept in 3 nights to noisy for me. You are right on the Missouri River. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I work close to the campground so I figured a early year break in on the new camper was in order. The campground host is very pleasant and if you call ahead you can reserve a spot with her help and she can make sure you are happy with your spot. The pros: THE VIEW... you are right on the river close to a bridge. Some spots are only 10 feet away from the bank and you can wake up and just feel the morning river mist. It is very very nice to walk out and take a stroll on the river. Also fishing is allowed with no permits on the bank, I am unsure if you want to use a boat. There is a boat ramp within 100 meters of the campground. The park is kept up nicely with full mature trees that are 50' tall and full. Shade is great, and plenty of twigs to start fires with. If you like tent camping then you can get a site for $8. The Cons: It is a $10 park, so there are some cons. First the shower house toilet area is very primitive. The toilets are toilets, but the shower area is open roof. Then of course you have a train. This park is right next to the tracks (my site was within 25 meters of the track). They do have a no whistle zone around the park, but still you can feel it and hear them. The trains stop around 10:30 at night and resume around 7am in the morning. So if you are a earlier riser it should not bother you. All for all I will be back, decent price, and of course having a 5th wheel to isolate me is great. I would not use the showers though. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Excellent location on the Missouri River under the Centennial Bridge near the junction of 92 and 73 Hwy. Paved roads and nearly level parking for your unit. Abundant generations old trees on riverbank. Litter barrels at every site. Now for the bad, poorly signed and railroad crossing on Dakota St has potentially dangerous angles. Not suitable for larger camping units, grass only present at some sites, side by side 30amp electric poles at most sites. Dump station is headed wrong direction of travel. And the most disturbing aspect for many, despite being on the not so prosperous side of Leavenworth, this city park received not one drive thru by any law enforcement agency. There was a couple that was sleeping in their vehicle and it wasn't a class C self contained. Bath/Shower building was rather old and not exactly clean. Railroad in close proximity. Might stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nicely located but not well maintained. Lots of permanent trailers: some of the permanent campers seem not to care at all about clean sites. Very nice owner. Great price and free WiFi. It would have been great if there would have been a picnic table and a fire pit at the site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is clean, friendly and provides relatively level sites with full hook-ups. The owner lives in the large home across the lake and is most accommodating. When we had motor home problems the owner did everything she could to help. We'll stay here on our next visit. Although we stayed here during February, the lake looks beautiful for warmer weather. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My name is Amy "Emiko" Hever, a 3rd – 4th generation HAPA. This photo was taken during my 5th grade class trip to the Mt. Fuji area. It was during my middle school years that I attended the International School of the Sacred Heart in Tokyo, Japan. I was a minority at ISSH. One of a handful of Americans attending a school made of students from literally every reach of the world.
These were formative years in my life, where lessons socially and academically in cross-cultural understanding were instilled upon you every day. When I think of the mission of APAP, and the important stories we want to tell, I draw much inspiration from my years abroad, and certainly from the memories and experiences behind photos such as this

My name is Emily Vallerga, and as I'm sure you have guessed, I am not of Asian heritage. With a name like Vallerga you probably think Spanish, but in reality I am of Italian heritage. Because I have such a deep affinity for my personal heritage, I have profound respect for those who also cherish their heritage. Therfore, I am ecstactic to be working with and learning from the Asian Pacific American Program. Not to mention, I have discovered a deep love for Indian food. The curries,spices, and colors of which have inspired me to broaden my taste buds, expand my spice cupboard, and covet Indian cook books. Speaking of food, this is a photo of my Nona and me cooking Ravioli for a family meal.

I had "Amin ay ipugao wada di istorya na" tatted on my inner forearm, which means "Everybody has a story". It's in my mom's native tongue –Kankanaey. As a Filipino American poet, I wear it proudly to remind myself and others that our stories DO matter.

Although I only could speak a few words of Chinese and my newly acquainted relatives could only speak a few words of English, we somehow managed to communicate as though we had known each other for a life-time.

My name is Krista Aniel and this is my lion mask from the Smithsonian Institution's 2012 Asian Pacific American Heritage (APA) Family Day celebration at the National Portrait Gallery. Visitors enjoyed a fun-filled day by observing music, dance, spoken word, and storytelling performances featuring local APA artists. The theme for the family day centered on the exhibition, Portraiture Now: Asian American Portraits of Encounter and ongoing hands-on activities incorporated family book crafting, a photo booth, charcoal drawing, lion and dragon mask decorating, Ti Lei bracelet weaving, clay fortune cookie making, and ARTLAB+ video recordings. Heritage can be celebrated in a variety of ways and I especially enjoy craft making. I created this colorful display to represent the richness and diversity of the APA community.

My name is Wendy Lim. Pioneer artists Charlie Chin, Wayne Wang, and others showed me how the arts can poignantly tell our stories. They inspired me to advance APA arts, like investing in an APA recording company. It folded but I still have the first record, Back to Back, featuring Chris Iijima and Charlie Chin. At the Smithsonian, I've actively participated in the APAHC to plan and present such notable artists as the hip-hop group Mountain Brothers, filmmaker Robert Nakamura, author Evelina Galang, comedian Phil Nee, percussionist Anthony Brown, jazz pianist Sumi Tanooka, and dancers Mahina and the Polynesians.+3 notesthemayprojectAsian Pacific American Heritage MonthAPAHMWendy LimChris IjimaCharlie Chin

Through teaching and service in both the United States and China, I have formed a passion for intercultural dialogue and a keen awareness of the importance of cultural identity.

Able to order transcript, does this mean that my refund will be deposited soon?
Asked by: jbell 669 views YA Discussion
This morning I checked the status on the WMR page, and it changed a little, stating that my return is still processing, but that a refund date will be provided when available. Gone was the graphic that said accepted, approved and sent.
So I went online and requested a transcript. Yesterday it wouldn't allow me to request one saying that the transcript wasn't available yet for tax year 2012, but to it went through and said I will receive the transcript in 5-10 days.
Does this mean that my refund will be direct deposited soon?

Today is not only Independence Day here in the U.S., it's also the first anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs boson—or another new particle that uncannily matches predictions. This was and is a huge deal. The hunt for the Higgs is one of the most epic endeavors in human history, culminating in the most massive experiment ever built after a half-century of brilliant collaboration. Happy anniversary, Higgs, you mass-endowing beauty.
At Brookhaven, we help crunch and manage the data for the ATLAS experiment—one of the two main Higgs-sensitive detectors on the Large Hadron Collider. Our physicists also play key roles in experimental design, construction, and ongoing analysis.
The image above is from an animation of actual ATLAS collision data by those wonders at CERN. Go watch the video in high-res. Trust us, it's worth it.
Since last year's discovery, the LHC continued collisions and refined the data before shutting down for upgrades and repairs. The latest word is that the new particle, which weighs a svelte 125 GeV, matches the Standard Model more and more perfectly. It's not quite as exciting as finding hints of supersymmetry or a dimension-crossing graviton, but the achievement remains momentous. And many secrets still hide in these stunning collisions.

During an interview with London Evening Standard, Ron Perlman, who portrayed Hellboy in the Hellboy movies and Clay Morrow on Sons of Anarchy, stated that he would love to be a Bond Villain.
In the interview, Perlman had lots to say about past Bond villians, like Goldfinger.
"I would love to be in a Bond movie. That would be an honour and a thrill. The Bond franchise has created some wonderful three-dimensional characters, especially the bad guys, starting with Goldfinger. That dude was memorable and the one that Mads Mikkelsen played in Casino Royale."
Perlman went on to talk about Daniel Craig, who is the 7th actor to portray James Bond, and the fact that Sean Connery was one of his heroes.
"He's a great Bond. He's second only to Connery for me. We all got spoiled when Sean invented the character because he brings so much to it. It's really hard to find somebody who is that multifaceted, that interesting and that much of a man's man."
Shooting on the 24th Bond film starts in October, and Daniel Craig will be reprising his role as James Bond. Another notable actor who has expressed interest in playing a Bond villain, is Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe. However, Variety has reported that Chiwetel Ejiofor, who was nominated for an Oscar for his role in '12 Years a Slave', is being courted by MGM and Sony, to play James Bond's next nemesis.
Firstly, I dig Chiwetel Ejiofor. I've liked him ever since he played The Operative, in 'Serenity'. He's a phenomenal actor, and plays a really great bad guy.
Secondly, I think Daniel Radcliffe has the acting chops to pull off the role of a Bond Villain. I think he has done a very good job of distancing himself from the iconic Harry Potter, and has been very careful to choose roles that sets him apart from that world. I would very much enjoy seeing him as a Bond Villain, but sadly…or hilariously (depending on how you look at it), the internet would get involved, and that movie, no matter its official title, would be called "Harry Potter and the Spy Who Loved Me"…don't laugh, you know I'm right.
Finally, I absolutely love Ron Perlman. He is a fantastic actor, and the work he did to bring Hellboy to life, has served to place him as one of my favorite actors of all time. Perlman's work on Sons of Anarchy was brilliant, and I have never loved and hated a bad guy so much as I did, with Clay Morrow. I sincerely hope we get to see Ron Perlman as a Bond Villain.
What do you think? What kind of Bond Villain would Ron Perlman be? Let me know in the comments section below.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- It took a phone call from former WSAZ'er Penny Moss to tell us about a unique find.
Her friend, Luana Cook Scott, formerly of Charleston, had stumbled on quite a find. She inherited the contents of her mom's attic. When Luana was going through those long forgotten boxes, she stumbled upon several rolls of 8mm film.
"I sent them off to be put on a DVD, because I saw some service on the internet," says Scott. "When we got them back, we were all surprised."
On that DVD that captured life in southern West Virginia in the late 1950's and early 1960's, was rare footage of Senator John F. Kennedy, who was traveling the state during the 1960 Democratic Primary.
The film was shot by Jewel Cook on the campus of Concord College, in Athens, West Virginia.
"We were just watching it and said, `Wait a minute, that's JFK!'," says Scott. "We wanted to see if there was a family member, right there, it was a crazy, wonderful, fun moment."
The WV Division of Culture and History, in Charleston has expressed interest in that old footage.
"Anything involving Kennedy in West Virginia is special," says archivist Richard Fauss. "This is definitely a rare and very nice find."
For Luana Cook Scott and her family, it's been an interesting journey. The long forgotten treasures of an old attic bring back all kinds of memories.
"My mother defined treasure in a different way," says Scott. "We don't have a lot of gold or diamonds to inherit, but we found all the things she kept that were important to her."

Home, auto EMIs to remain intact, as RBI retains interest rates
Equated monthly installments (EMIs) paid on home, automobile and other loans would remain unchanged, as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) left key interest rates unchanged in its third bi-monthly monetary policy review Tuesday.
The status quo in key policy rates would mean that the sectors like realty, automobile and other capital intensive industries will not get any relief from the high interest cost prevailing in the country to contain inflation.
Several sectors - like automobiles - have been struggling to keep up sales due to high interest and fuel costs which has dampened consumer sentiments in Asia's third largest economy.
Governor Raghuram Rajan said in his policy statement that RBI will continue to closely monitor inflation developments, and remains committed to the disinflationary path of taking Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation to 8 percent by January 2015 and 6 percent by January 2016.
"While inflation at around 8 per cent in early 2015 seems likely, it is critical that the disinflationary process is sustained over the medium-term," the governor said.
The repo rate, or the interest that banks pay when they borrow money from the RBI to meet their short-term fund requirements, has been left unchanged at 8 percent.
The reverse repo rate, or the interest that the RBI pays to commercial banks when they park their surplus short-term funds with the central bank, has been adjusted to 7 percent.
The Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) is left unchanged at 4 percent. The marginal standing facility rate and the Bank Rate is also kept unchanged at 9 percent.
The statutory liquidity ratio (SLR), the mandatory amount of bonds lenders must keep with the RBI, was cut by 0.5 percent to 22.0 percent of their net demand and time liabilities (NDTL) with effect from August 9, 2014.
The central bank's action is on the expected lines as most analysts predicted a status quo, considering the macro-economic situation and current data.
"There are upside risks in the form of the pass-through of administered price increases, continuing uncertainty over monsoon conditions and their impact on food production, possibly higher oil prices stemming from geo-political concerns and exchange rate movement, and strengthening growth in the face of continuing supply constraint," the policy statement said.
Data released earlier by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), showed that retail inflation based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) declined to 7.31 percent in June from 8.28 percent in the previous month.
The central and state governments are taking steps to contain the rising food prices by either directly selling edible commodities or easing grain imports.
The price of tomatoes has sky-rocketed in certain areas to nearly Rs.80-100 a kg.
Meanwhile, India Inc. welcomed the RBI move to put more funds into the system by cutting SLR. However, it said that an interest rate cut should also be considered when inflation is slowing down and growth needs a boost.
"At a time when industrial growth continues to be sluggish, Consumer Price Index (CPI) based inflation is moderating and, above all, inflation risks are gradually abating due to improvement in monsoon conditions, the RBI could have taken this opportunity to effect a cut in interest rates," said Chandrajit Banerjee, director general, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) said the statement by the RBI re-affirms that the economy is on the mend.
On the inflation front, the industry lobby said steps taken by the central government to manage food inflation should be followed up with close coordination with the states to ensure that their mitigating impact is seen at the earliest.
However, Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham) said retention lending rates may not help revive growth to the extent of its potential of six percent in the current fiscal.
"RBI has once again taken an over-cautious approach and easing of the same could have taken the GDP growth in the near about of six per cent in the current fiscal itself," said Rana Kapoor, president, Assocham.
The markets too welcomed the apex bank's move of leaving the key interest rates unchanged.
The 30-scrip Sensitive Index (Sensex) of the S&P Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), which opened at 25,817.84 points, closed trade at 25,908.01 points, up 184.85 points or 0.72 percent from the previous day's close at 25,723.16 points.
The wider 50-scrip Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) closed the trade 62.90 points or 0.82 percent up at 7,746.55 points.

I've been waiting a while to get hold of this mag as it got sent out a while back but I've been moving around so much I didn't get it sent to my home address. The Quake City Rumbler boys had been hit up by this Australian mag and asked me to come shoot so while here for a few days I got some stuff and we were rewarded with a twelve page spread, definitely the biggest I've had in a single article. Get your hands on issue five where you can, I think Melbourne or check what they are up to at www.tankmoto.com

After a few years of coming back to the CHILL Series it's nice that something is always different but the weather patterns this year were unexpected, but at least we got good sun on the second day and the young crew is really crushing it. New Zealand skiing has a really strong depth to it right now and every time I'm at a mountain I get reminded of it, either just riding a big rat pack or watching Hank Bilous send it for this comp.
Also Cam and Tom tried their hand at some infomercials, I think they need work but could be fun for next year.
August 24th, 2014
This year the format is all new, just to make it to the comp we have spent the past few weeks with our team of Chalrie Lyons, Will Jackways and myself. It's kind of a strange situation with very few teams having a completely new edit such as we have but it's all just a game to see who the two teams that will get to fly at Mt Cook are so I have to ask you to help out and throw a vote our way over at http://worldhelichallenge.com/2014/08/the-way-of-the-lyon/

It's quite nice watching how many people like your shots when they get shared around by the big guys and stoked that those at Volcom International are even looking at my work.
August 5th, 2014
It's been quite some time since we finished an epic two month journey of shooting a lot of fresh snow and with this snow year it feels even longer ago but after the release of the Monster Energy piece I talked with Will and we felt there were a bunch of shots we both liked so I've cut this as a hope to fill in a few pieces which may have not been seen in the first cut that was as Monster does and as a majority. snow-porn.

For a decidedly white day it was a rather fun and mellow comp and for my first time working with Volcom a good chance to get a little more weird on the logo animation.

Early last week I got out the back for another day on the split board which seems to be becoming more regular than riding the lifts for me this season and this article we shot explains a little about why and the photos explain the rest. Will J getting some of the best snow of this season.

I was working on a piece for CHK a couple of days ago and was looking at this logo I did a few years ago, I had a little play of updating but it's not something we are going to pursue at this stage so I'll just leave it here instead.
July 10th, 2014
The snow isn't quite as deep and fresh as I would be hoping for in mid July but we've got some so we went searching. Charlie Murray getting a little turn in.
June 16th, 2014
I got up to Christchurch to check out and shoot the redeveloped Washington Way skate park for the latest Airtime Ep on TV 4 and NZSkate.com, one of the best places I've had a roll, too bad we struggled with the weather before deadline and I was back South before I had that much of a chance to skate the park myself. Thanks to James, Jordan, Jack & Alex for helping out with the shoot.

Marian Goodell Speaks at TEDx Tokyo
Burning Man Co-Founder Marian Goodell spoke at TEDx Tokyo on May 30, 2014. Here's the video:
Burning Man Co-Founder Marian Goodell spoke at TEDx Tokyo on May 30, 2014. Here's the video:
Burning Man is happening around the world, at the speed of fire, with the strength of a hundred DJs! Here at the Burning Blog we want to keep you up-to-date every minute, on the hour, weekly, across time zones, in perpetuity!
Hence I am proud to introduce The Burning Man Minute, which will disrupt your mobile app and change everything you thought you knew about watching people talk about Burning Man! The future is already late for its appointment with technology!
is the Volunteer Coordinator for Media Mecca at Burning Man is the author (under a clever pseudonym) of "A Guide to Bars and Nightlife in the Sacred City," which has nothing to do with Burning Man. Contact him at Caveat (at) Burningman.com
Burning Man co-founder Larry Harvey appeared on the Charlie Rose show on March 20, 2014. He talked with Mr. Rose about the event's origins, how and why it's grown from humble beginnings into a worldwide cultural phenomenon, the ethos of this burgeoning community, and his vision for the future. It's a great interview.
Here's the video of the full interview:
Following a blustery day of spotty power outages across the county, Seattle Burners spent Saturday night under clear skies at their local Decompression event.
This is the annual fundraiser for the non-profit Ignition Northwest arts organization in Seattle. The funds fuel art grants and support of the arts community, including an annual scholarship to the Pratt Fine Arts Center.
Below is a short photo essay of this event. Click here to see the whole set.
So, did you do anything special Saturday night?
We kinda did.
What if you dreamed up the most impossibly beautiful and perfectly timed thing you could summon your heart and mind to imagine? And what if you labored all year to pull the strings and find the money and overcome the forces who would defeat you? And what if somehow, once again, you persuaded all your friends to help?
And then what if you actually watched it all taking shape, agonizingly slowly and with great effort, rising in the bright white heat of the desert?
And then what if it finally stood there, appearing and disappearing majestically between whiteouts, and in the evenings glowing with a mesmerizing tranquility against the purple of the hills?
And then what if in that moment of triumph of will and sweat, of tears and blood, what if you said, ok, that's it. That's enough. We are done with this. We dreamed it and we did it and now it is time to be done with it. So you lit the torch and set fire to the thing, and you watched the flames consume that which had consumed you.
That was our Saturday night, and we wish you were here.
And if you were here, thank you very much, nothing more to see here; time to move on.
Oh yes, there is still a Temple to burn tonight, but the apex of Burning Man has been reached, and just like that, it is time to get back to the present, and to the immediate future, and then maybe, some time later, to think about what will come next. But for now, strike the tent, literally pull up the stakes, sort your trash and get the hell out of Dodge. It is time to get back into the moment.
Weather reports Sunday morning were scaring the general population, and we secretly thought that this wasn't the worst thing that could happen. People being in a hurry to leave was ok with us. We don't mean to be harsh, and we mean this in the most loving way possible, but we are tired of your face and it's time for you to go.
This giant Burning Man has almost come to a close, and it is going to take a long time to get everyone out of boomtown Black Rock City, and the sooner some people hit the road, the better for all concerned. So here's your hat, what's your hurry?
[Editor's Note: We're happy to have photographer Michael Holden documenting the art and experience of Burning Man for you this year, and posting regular submissions to the Burning Blog. You can find all his posts by clicking here. Enjoy!]
If you are just joining us, for the sake of reference, scale and sheer wow factor, Cargo Cult's Burning Man was on top of the largest base ever: A giant UFO. Look at those two people in the shade in the left side of the photo….
The Burning Man starts to sparkle at 9:34 PM
We have liftoff…
The Signal is sent…
Flame effect as it is triggered….
Flash #1…
New haircut…
Lookin' good!
Flash #2, aka "the big one"
Time to burn.
The effect in the next three photos is called "the heart attack"…
Huge fire…
Moments before the collapse, 9:49 PM…
Lots more to shoot, temple burn tomorrow night.
The Man burns in 365 days.
Don't be a stranger, stay in touch with me on flickr, facebook or 500px or drop me a line at michael here: michael (at) michaelholden.com.
We got an email on Thursday evening while at Burning Man that our condo in Oakland had flooded, so I decided to come home a little early. The plumbers were able to fix it from the outside but the management company said that there was water in the outside hallway, and we found that fairly concerning. So I was up early on Friday morning, down the hill, a little clean-up and all is okay. But you know I am missing y'all, you know who you are.
I camp with The Mansonian Institute, and we always have an amazing mix of campers. This year we have a lot of crew from The Generator, because my camp leader, Joe Olivier, is on the Board of Directors. Many of them were involved in building Pier 2 and La Llorona in 2012. I immediately liked Fish, young enough to be my grandson and kind, smart and attentive. So when I discovered he was also a photographer I of course wanted to see his photos, and to share them with you. So from here at home, on my little porch, is a new photographer that I am sure you will be seeing again, Aleks Stirajs. The first Truth is Beauty shot is during the electrical storm during set up and it is my favorite.
[Editor's Note: We're happy to have photographer Michael Holden documenting the art and experience of Burning Man for you this year, and posting regular submissions to the Burning Blog. You can find all his posts by clicking here. Enjoy!]

We are really loving this insanely well-timed photo of Usain Bolt, taken by photographer Olivier Morin. As usual, Bolt crossed the finish line first at this weekend's IAFF World Championship in Moscow.
And that reminds us— are you getting ready for the Summer Olympics' cooler cousin already? You should be! The 2014 Winter Games are just around the corner, and TurboSquid's Tornado Studios has you covered with wonderfully rendered bronze, silver, and gold medals.

"I feel like I've been toying with people the last six months. … I'm just ready to get this thing open."
– Brent Steven, whose Hill Bar and Grill is opening July 29, not June 29 as Have You Heard? erroneously reported
"I feel like I've been toying with people the last six months. … I'm just ready to get this thing open."
– Brent Steven, whose Hill Bar and Grill is opening July 29, not June 29 as Have You Heard? erroneously reported
"We might be a week earlier than that."
— Brent Steven, uttering words seldom heard when discussing a restaurant opening, explaining that the new Hill Bar and Grill will debut by June 29
WICHITA — Some passersby are wondering about the Hill Bar and Grill at Douglas and Oliver.
"We've been at a standstill for, like, a week and a half," says Brent Steven, who is opening the business with his brother, Brad.
Brent Steven says there was a permitting issue related to a mezzanine they won't be using. He says it's something the owners of the building have been working on, and it isn't an issue for the business.
"We're not too off track," he says.
Steven expects plumbing and drywall work to start shortly. He says the Hill still should open by late April or early May.
"Once we get going, it's going to go real fast."
"It's just a huge weight off our backs."
– Brent Steven on the City Council vote approving additional parking for his and his brother Brad's new Hill Bar and Grill
WICHITA — As owners of Mike's Wine Dive and Club Indigo, Brad and Brent Steven are already two of the most recognizable restaurateurs in Wichita.
For those who don't know them, though, or for those who are worried about the new Hill Bar and Grill they have planned for the former Barrier's space, the Stevens are holding a meeting there on Dec. 21.
"We really just wanted to meet with everyone and find out what their concerns are," Brad Steven says.
He says the idea is to introduce themselves and their concept.
Some residents in the area worried about the Hill's planned 2 a.m. closing time. Others have traffic and parking concerns.
The brothers already have proper zoning for the Hill, but they're seeking some extra parking nearby where the owners of the building are going to raze a duplex. That area needs rezoned.
The meeting is at 4 p.m. in the building where the Hill will locate at the northeast corner of Douglas and Oliver.
Brad Steven says the idea is to meet, share plans, ease concerns and hopefully "keep everybody happy."
WICHITA — The issue of whether developers can get extra parking for a bar and grill in the former Barrier's space is heading to City Council.
A District Advisory Board considered the issue Monday with a packed audience in attendance. Many of the 70 or so people who were there are opposed to the 2 a.m. closing time brothers Brad and Brent Steven want for their new Hill Bar and Grill.
The board voted 8 to 1 in favor of allowing building owners Christian Ablah and W.G. Farha to raze a duplex near the building for more parking.
City Council likely will consider the issue early in the new year.
WICHITA — As some residents of Crown Heights are organizing a group to protest a bar and grill going in the former Barrier's space at Douglas and Oliver, the restaurateurs hoping to open it are ready to share details.
Mike's Wine Dive owners Brent and Brad Steven plan to open the Hill Bar and Grill — named for the hill in College Hill — in 5,100 square feet of the building in March.
Mike's is in the center at the northwest corner of the intersection. The Hill will be on the northeast corner.
Though Brad Steven says the Hill will be a great place to catch a game, he says, "It's not going to be a sports bar."
"Our focus will be a wide selection of craft beers as well as American food," he says. "Basically, we're going to be specializing in beers the way we specialize in wine at Mike's."
There will be 25 beers on tap and craft beers from around the world.
Brent Steven describes it as "kind of like an ale house."
He says the idea is "a place that's totally different than Mike's."
Where Mike's is more fine dining, he says, he and his brother envision the Hill as "more of a hangout spot."
"It will appeal to a wider audience than Mike's does."
There will be seating for about 150 customers.
There will be an outside patio facing Douglas that is within the front of the building and will serve as an area for smoking. There will be another patio that wraps around the east side of the building.
There will be another 2,400 square feet left in the building for another business.
The Hill's hours aren't set yet, but the Stevens are thinking 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. most days and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. on the weekends.
The hours are a key issue for some residents.
"You can go on the news and see all the time what happens in Old Town at 2 a.m.," says Melinda Foley, who is president of the Crown Heights Neighborhood Association.
UPDATED — Brad and Brent Steven are now the sole owners of Mike's Wine Dive.
Earlier this month, Have You Heard? reported that the brothers sued longtime friend and Mike's co-founder Whitney VinZant and several other people associated with the almost 2-year-old business near Douglas and Oliver.
"We all agree that the restaurant doesn't work with all these cooks in the kitchen, so to speak, so we need to part ways," Brad Steven said at the time. "Either he takes full ownership or we take full ownership, and the lawsuit is to figure that out."
The parties reached an agreement today.
"We've resolved it amicably," says Joe Cassell, the Stevens' lawyer and stepfather.
There were differences in how the brothers and VinZant wanted to run the College Hill restaurant, and there were disputes over who owned how much of the business.
The brothers have been gone from the restaurant for several weeks but are now back.
"We're taking over the company," Cassell says. "One hundred percent of it."
WICHITA — The relationship among the partners of Mike's Wine Dive has, to put it in the parlance of the College Hill bar and restaurant, taken a dive.
Brothers Brad and Brent Steven are suing co-founder Whitney VinZant and several other people associated with the almost 2-year-old business near Douglas and Hillside.
"We all agree that the restaurant doesn't work with all these cooks in the kitchen, so to speak, so we need to part ways," Brad Steven says. "Either he takes full ownership or we take full ownership, and the lawsuit is to figure that out."
The three have been friends since high school.
VinZant, who also now owns Gaslamp Grille & Lounge, had previous restaurant experience with Old Chicago and Jimmy's Egg. The Steven brothers have bar experience through Club Indigo, which they still own, and Backstage Bar and Grill.
The three opened Mike's Wine Dive in spring 2010. There's a dispute over who owned what percentage when the business opened and who owns what now.
"There's too many operating agreements," Brad Steven says. "Everything is screwed up."
VinZant says the brothers have a "disregard for the changes we tried to make."
"We tried to put in place, you know, a more robust inventory management system," VinZant says. "I'm not going to speculate as to why or how, because frankly I don't know, but I do know that our costs on both food and beverage costs were really high. We weren't running the profitability levels that we should be running there."
The Steven brothers have been gone from the restaurant for a couple of weeks. VinZant says they'd like to buy him out, but he doesn't want to sell.
"He never really is in town, so I'm not really sure who's operating the restaurant," Brad Steven says.
