The whine of a saw greets you the second you open the door, the smell of cut wood fills the nostrils, wood scraps, rags and paint cans line the massive shelves crawling up the cinder block walls. Ken Tomita's furniture workshop looks, sounds and smells a lot like any other. Except, of course, for the hulking computerized milling machine in the corner – the size of a compact car with suction tubes snaking over the top, a NASA-worthy control panel and two fridge-sized front doors – where some of the world's most exotic iPhone cases are born.
The veteran bamboo craftsman and his business partner, laser-engraving whiz kid Joe Mansfield, run Grove, a company that produces elaborate, custom-made iPhone cases from bamboo.
"We set out to create the world's finest iPhone case," Tomita says, breaking from his typically bashful demeanor. The lack of conspicuous diamonds, alligator leather and gold gilding may put it out of the running for most expensive, but that's not where Grove hopes to compete. It's all in the craftsmanship.
Grove's manufacturing process melds old and new the same contradictory way the cases themselves wrap one of the pinnacles of human engineering with one of the world's oldest, most primitive building materials. Carved by computerized milling machines accurate to one twenty-fifth of a human hair, yet sanded by hand. Laser-engraved by a machine that costs as much as a Mercedes – but finished with four coats of furniture oil, applied by Tomita's own mother at her home.
From Grove to Grove
Every Grove case starts life in a bamboo grove – like a forest of oversized grass – before being harvested, processed into slabs in San Francisco, then shipped up the coast to Portland, where Tomita receives four-by-eight-foot loads of it at his furniture workshop in southeast Portland.
A few buzzes of a saw later, the bamboo ends up in blanks ready to be loaded into Tomita's $48,000 Haas VF-2, a computerized milling machine that will dice four cases out of each piece; first chewing away at the phone-sized void in front, then rounding out the corners and curves on the back. Tomita sets it in motion with the press of a few buttons, but his carefully guarded milling process took over six months to develop.
"Using bamboo is much more difficult than using wood," Tomita explains. The problem: its grassy structure splinters easily compared to a dense hardwood like maple. After five years of building custom bamboo furniture, Tomita knows the ins and outs of hacking up the tricky material, but his CNC programming still had to be meticulous. "Just to figure out how to make it without breaking it, every single tool path has to be refined to go a certain direction, at a certain speed, a certain depth."
After cutting each crude case out of the waste material with a saw, it goes to the sanding station, where the bumps and hard edges of the CNC process give way to soft curves. But with only one sixteenth of an inch in thickness, even this step requires careful attention. Every case gets a precise number of laps on the random orbital sander in different spots.
Afterward, Tomita and his crew painstakingly glue an anodized aluminum bezel to the front of the case with the precision of surgeons – quite literally. They use dental tools to affix it and ensure that none of the glue seeps out, which can ruin the final finishing process. A mistake at this point means it's into the scrap pile. To finish the form, it's back to the CNC machine, where a special "fourth axis" attachment allows the recesses for the power button, headphone jack and dock connector to be carved away.
Tomita's mother performs the final finishing – not with a rock hard clear coat, but furniture oil that has to be rubbed on by hand four separate times, with precise drying times between each coat. To Tomita, the extra labor is worth it for the feel. "I don't like to put natural materials beneath plastic," he explains. On a practical level, an oiled finished resists scratches and changes over time, while hard finishes – like the one already on the iPhone – smudge and collect scuffs.
After this finishing process, the cases take a trip across town to Mansfield's laser engraving studio, where each one slides into a jig within a desk-sized laser engraving machine. Customers can choose to have their cases adorned with either the work of Grove's artists, or custom artwork they upload to the site themselves. Mansfield opens a design in Adobe Illustrator then begins the engraving with a simple print command, just like the one you might use for an desktop inkjet printer. It sends the laser head zooming back and forth above the case in a matter of seconds, pecking the image in with microscopic blasts.
A quick wipe down with water to remove any debris from the laser, and it's done.

Bradford Dillman: A Compulsively Watchable
By Harvey Chartrand
a career that has spanned 43 years, Bradford Dillman accumulated more than 500
film and TV credits. The slim, handsome and patrician Dillman may have been the
busiest actor in Hollywood
during the late sixties and early seventies, working non-stop for years. In
1971 alone, Dillman starred in seven full-length feature films. And this
protean output doesn't include guest appearances on six TV shows that
same year.
Dillman first drew good notices in the early 1950s on the Broadway stage and in
live TV shows, such as Climax and Kraft Television Theatre. After
making theatrical history playing Edmund Tyrone in the first-ever production of
Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night in 1956, Dillman landed the role of blueblood psychopath Artie
Straus in the crime-and-punishment thriller Compulsion (1959), for which
he won a three-way Best Actor Prize at Cannes (sharing the award with co-stars
Dean Stockwell and Orson Welles).
On the And You Call Yourself a
Scientist! Web site, Dillman's Artie Straus is described as "all brag and
bravado, contemptuous of everything but himself, with his
bridge-and-country-club parents, and his vaguely unwholesome relationship with
his mother."
In the early years of
his career, Dillman starred in several major motion pictures, picking and
choosing his roles carefully. He was featured in Jean Negulesco's romance A
Certain Smile (1958) with Rossano Brazzi and Joan Fontaine; Philip Dunne's
World War II drama In Love and War (1958) with Robert Wagner and Dana
Wynter; and Tony Richardson's Sanctuary (1961) with Lee Remick and Yves
Montand, a rancid slice of Southern Gothic based on the novel by William
Yet in the early sixties, Dillman started
taking any part that came along to support his growing family. From 1962 on, he
guest starred in dozens of TV series -- among them Espionage, Kraft
Suspense Theatre, Twelve O'Clock High, Shane, Felony Squad,
The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Marcus Welby, M.D., The Streets of San
Francisco, Bronk, How the West Was Won and Fantasy Island.
In 1975, Dillman won an Emmy Award for
Outstanding Actor in a Daytime Drama Special for his performance as Matt
Clifton in Last Bride of Salem (1974), an excellent tale of modern
witchcraft. The 90-minute Gothic horror movie aired on ABC Afternoon Playbreak and was so well received that it was
rebroadcast during primetime.
Over the years, Dillman appeared in scores
of made-for-TV movies and theatrical releases, such as Walter Grauman's drama A
Rage to Live (1965) with the late Suzanne Pleshette; John Guillermin's war
story The Bridge at Remagen (1969) with George Segal; Hy Averback's satire
Suppose They Gave a War and Nobody Came (1970) starring Tony Curtis; and
Jud Taylor's horror-thriller Revenge (1971), with Shelley Winters.
Dillman also played a psychiatrist who goes ape for Natalie Trundy in Don
Taylor's Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) and a scientist battling
firestarting cockroaches in Jeannot Szwarc's Bug (1975) — the final film
produced by legendary horror schlockmeister William Castle.
Dillman is
now 81. After retiring from acting in 1995, he took up a second career as a writer. He is excellent at his new avocation,
requiring no ghostwriters to tweak his prose. Dillman's autobiography Are
You Anybody? is a series of amusing anecdotes about his Hollywood
years. He has also written a harrowing adventure tale entitled That Air
Forever Dark, set in Papua New Guinea
and Indonesia.
"It's a terrifying account of the Jet Age meeting the Stone Age – Deliverance
in a jungle setting," the actor-turned-author says.
Dillman's latest book,
published in 2005 by Fithian Press, is a comedy of errors entitled Kissing Kate. "The novel is about an
amateur production of Kiss Me Kate,"
Dillman relates. "An out-of-work professional actor is hired to play the male
lead opposite a wealthy community icon. Ultimately, of course, they end up
in bed together, where a 'catastrophe' occurs and all hell breaks loose. I
assure you that Kissing Kate is not in the least bit autobiographical!"
Fifty-two years after
appearing on stage in O'Neill's landmark theatrical event, Dillman is now a
playwright as well. His Seeds in the Wind
made its debut in May 2007 at the Rubicon Theatre Company in Ventura, California.
The play is set in 1939 in Santa Cruz,
California, during a weekend
celebrating the 40th birthday of a society hostess' daughter. The interaction
of the houseguests is both humorous and dramatic, and all manner of unexpected
events occur, Dillman assures us.
veteran performer spoke to Cinema Retro
from his home in Santa Barbara,
Bradford Dillman: I had a commitment to Twentieth Century Fox to do two pictures a
year and, as fate would have it, the timing of the filming of Compulsion coincided.
Nothing to do with the moguls' belief that I had talent. It was just dumb luck,
pure and simple.
Following Compulsion, you were often cast in villainous roles. In 1964,
you co-starred with B-movie cult figure John Ashley (The Mad Doctor of Blood
Island) in an episode of Dr. Kildare with the intriguing title Night
of the Beast. What was that one about?
BD: I was the beast. I was such a bad guy I had my
thugs hold Kildare down while I raped his girlfriend in front of his very eyes.
When we came to the comeuppance scene, I learned that Richard Chamberlain had
obviously never been in a fistfight in his life. The stunt men couldn't teach
him how to throw a punch; I couldn't teach him. So we had a gentle comeuppance.
He's a nice, sensitive man who has since come out of the closet.
CR: In 1967, you were the guest villain on The
Prince of Darkness Affair, a two-part episode of The Man from U.N.C.L.E,
later repackaged as a theatrical release – The Helicopter Spies (1968).
You were great fun as Luther Sebastian, the Third Way cult leader who steals a
rocket. Did you have any scenes with
lovely Lola Albright?
BD: The Helicopter Spies has disappeared in
the vortex of remaining brain cells. I don't remember if I exchanged words with
Lola Albright.
CR: In 1968,
you starred with Harry Guardino in a memorable TV-movie called Jigsaw, a
remake of Mirage (1965), based on the novel Fallen Angel by
Howard Fast. You played Jonathan Fields, an amnesiac who consults a private
eye. This was one of the first made-for-TV movies, featuring a fine cast of Hollywood veterans, including Hope Lange, Pat Hingle,
Victor Jory and Paul Stewart. Any comments about Jigsaw?
BD: Jigsaw was an underrated movie directed
by a much underrated director, James Goldstone. The highlight is a scene where
my character unwittingly ingests LSD, the chemical of choice at that time, and
I go into a sustained freak-out monologue that required a fully-loaded camera
magazine to photograph. Marian Dougherty, who was head of talent at Universal,
later made this required viewing for all the studio contract players, as an
example of how to make material colorful and arresting.
Congratulations! In 1969, you co-starred with Louis Jourdan in a superb
TV-movie entitled Fear No Evil, about a psychiatrist specializing in the
occult who becomes involved in the case of a man possessed by a spirit in an
antique mirror. In my opinion, Fear No Evil was as good as the classic
anthology movie Dead of Night (1945), which featured an episode with a
similar theme.
BD: Fear No Evil had a pre-Archie Bunker
Carroll O'Connor in it, a down-to-earth guy. It also
had Lynda Day George, with whom I had steamy love scenes. Lynda had the flu.
When I came home that weekend, I passed it along to the entire family. Louis
Jourdan taught me a fascinating word game in which I became his accomplice. We
could convey secret information and astonish people who had no idea how we were
able to baffle them.
CR: In 1971,
you turned up in a two-part episode of The F.B.I. entitled The
Mastermind. Any memories of working with guest stars Clu Gulager, Scott
Marlowe and Steve Ihnat (who died shortly after filming wrapped)?
BD: The Mastermind episode of The F.B.I.
was, I believe, the best episode ever on that long-running series. Gulager,
Marlowe, Ihnat and myself conceive the idea of dressing as cartoon characters
to knock off Disneyland. The first part was
the caper. Part 2 was the feds in pursuit and the consequences of the robbery. I
found Gulager to be a rather eccentric man. Steve Ihnat was taken from us at
far too young an age. He was one of the most brilliant actors I ever worked
with. As for Marlowe, he was a talented actor, but somewhat withdrawn.
CR: You
guest starred in Face of Fear, a 1971 episode of Bonanza. What
was it really like working on the Ponderosa?
BD: As I recall, my Bonanza was practically
all indoors. Lorne Greene was a Canadian who did a screen test with the woman
who later became my wife, Suzy Parker. He was a warm man, very unactor-like.
Michael Landon, of course, later became a household fixture. Dan Blocker was
inseparable from the character he played. As for why the episode was called Face
of Fear, sorry to say that all TV westerns run together in my mind. I was
the heavy in just about all of them, jeopardizing the lives of upstanding
citizens, so I can't be sure if it was Bonanza or The Big
Valley where I held someone prisoner in a well. If Bonanza, then it
was the poor prisoner who had a "Face of Fear."
CR: In 1971, you played the title role in The
Resurrection of Zachary Wheeler, a weird sci-fi action flick starring
Leslie Nielsen and Angie Dickinson. This movie was shot entirely on video, and
looks rather cheesy today. When appearing in such films as Zachary Wheeler,
did you get the sense that you had compromised yourself as an actor, that
(however noble your reasons) you were scraping the bottom of the acting barrel
for parts?
BD: Did I realize a lot of the material I did was schlock? Of course I
did! I was constantly endeavoring to find appropriate choices that might cause
me to disappear – become a hole in the screen. To take you through some of what
I refer to as my 'atrocities' – The Swarm was populated by a swarm of
stars prostituting themselves. But how could I point a finger at any of them
when I was the busiest hooker in the game?Other nifties include three Mexican films (Chosen Survivors, Guyana: Cult of the
Damned and Treasure of the Amazon), the final two flicks I did for
Roger Corman (Heroes Stand Alone, Lords of the Deep), and more
than half the Movies-of-the-Week I turned up in. Dreadful stuff. Awful. But I
defend some others. There's good stuff out there, too – like The Mephisto Waltz, Brother John, The Iceman
Cometh and The Way We Were.

defend some others. There's good stuff out there, too – like The Mephisto Waltz, Brother John, The Iceman
Cometh and The Way We Were.
CR: In 1973,
you starred with George Kennedy in the TV-movie Deliver Us from Evil, about
a group of hunters who stumble across a fortune from an injured skyjacker. This
is an excellent production that really deserves to be released on video or DVD.
Any recollections from this shoot?
BD: I have a legion of memories from Deliver Us
from Evil, filmed in the Mount Hood area of Oregon. Our lodge was so isolated, one snowy
night the producer brought in an auto caravan of young women from Portland, secretaries and
the like, so we could have a party. George Kennedy saved my life when I fell in
river rapids, snatching one arm before I took the swiftest route to Portland.
CR: In 1974,
you co-starred with Hollywood legend Glenn
Ford in The Disappearance of Flight 412 — about a military conspiracy to
cover up UFO sightings, sort of a proto X-Files episode. Could you tell
us about working with Ford in this highly-rated science fiction drama?
BD: The UFO movie with Glenn Ford was shot at Oxnard Airport
and then Edwards Air Force Base. I played a major in the air force. My thrill
was working with Glenn, whom I worshipped in movies like Gilda during my
early movie matinees. He didn't disappoint; a nice man. Though I don't believe
in UFOs, I subsequently learned I am outnumbered.
CR: You had
a good role as a conflicted conspirator in the big-budget thriller Gold (1974),
starring Roger Moore, Susannah York, Ray Milland and John Gielgud. What was
Milland like at this juncture in his career, his days as a leading man long behind
BD: Gold was a big-budget movie, filmed in South Africa and London. Apartheid was
still in force, and Susannah York, a militant liberal, used every publicity
opportunity to deplore the conditions of the black miners, despite pleas from
the producers to cool it. As chief heavy, my demise took place at the peak of a
slagheap where I was run down by a Rolls-Royce. Ray Milland had finally
eschewed a hairpiece, and created here his new persona as a snarling power
CR: In 1974,
you shot a TV-movie called Last Bride of Salem. I hear it's quite good
and look forward to seeing it someday on SCREAM Television.
BD: Last Bride was shot in Toronto and environs. I remember Lois
Nettleton was in it, but I especially remember an unknown named John Candy! I
met him again on a golf course after he became a star, and he lied graciously,
saying he remembered me. His golf swing was memorable only for being bad.
CR: You had
a starring role in the Italian-made A Black Ribbon for Deborah (1975),
which sounds like yet another clone of The Exorcist. Describe your role
in this supernatural thriller.
BD: The Italian movie A Black Ribbon for Deborah
was such a clunker I have no memory of the plot. They
dressed me and teased my hair to make me look Italian. I referred to myself as
"Bobby Botticelli." The leading lady was the producer's mistress, and
I recall an embarrassing love
scene where I playfully pull her into a shower for some serious simulated
CR: Was your co-star Gig Young difficult to work with?
BD: Gig Young was a sad case. All the years of heavy drinking had so taken
their toll that his memory was gone.
CR: What can
you tell me about your starring role in Demon, Demon, a 1975 episode of Wide
World of Mystery, a 90-minute late-night mystery and suspense anthology
series, which ran on ABC? You play an executive who falls in love and marries
his secretary (Juliet Mills). However, he soon begins to suspect that she may
be a demon who is out to possess his soul.
BD: Demon, Demon was taped, and so
hopelessly bad the actors collapsed with laughter
attempting to speak their lines. It's a wonder it could be spliced together.
CR: In the mid-seventies, you made two 'insect
threat' movies virtually back-to-back – Bug and The Swarm. You have the honor of starring in the
final film of William Castle, the great horror huckster himself.
BD: Bug is considered laughable by some because William Castle produced it
for $4.50, but it was made at a time when special effects were primitive, and I
believe it's genuinely scary. Those were real
cockroaches crawling over my bare chest. Bill Castle was a jocular man, always
brandishing a cigar, and in dress he affected a much younger personage.
CR: You and Dean Stockwell worked together again
on a very obscure film called One Away (1976). This crime drama
(directed by Sidney Hayers) sounds like a real curiosity. What was it like to
work with Stockwell again 17 years after Compulsion?
BD: One Away was a biker movie shot in South Africa, about three gypsy
brothers. The Brit Patrick Mower was the third. Dean Stockwell is an expert and
enthusiastic biker. I couldn't ride at all, but my stunt double sure could. I
believe we were escaped convicts who happen upon Elke Sommer. She becomes my
voluptuous love interest. I have the greatest respect for Dean's talent, yet he
and I have never really gotten along. I have a sense he's always resented the
fact I was cast in the Compulsion role played onstage by his friend
Roddy McDowall. For his part, Roddy never held it against me. I worked with
Roddy on Escape from the Planet of the Apes, The Memory of Eva Ryker (1980) and Heroes Stand Alone (1989).
CR: In 1976,
you guest starred on Wonder Woman, with Lynda Carter. The episode was
entitled Wonder Woman Meets Baroness Paula Von Gunther (played by
Christine Belford). Any memories of working on this phenomenally successful TV
BD: My appearance on Wonder Woman is an
example of how desperate I was to put my children through school. I can't
remember if I was being a menace to Lynda Carter, but I would have willingly
joined a line to receive her physical abuse. (laughs)
CR: Mastermind
(1976) sounds like a very strange film. In this comedy thriller, Zero
Mostel plays an inspector on the trail of criminals who have captured a killer
robot. Why did you agree to appear in Mastermind?
BD: Mastermind was shot in Japan in 1969
and not released until 1976, and then just barely. I believe Mastermind was stuffed in a
time capsule and dropped somewhere off Okinawa.
(laughs) I did it to get to Japan, but who could resist working
with that superb cuckoo, Zero Mostel? I have a memory of dueling with him while
in a samurai costume. Inside the killer robot was a midget.
CR: You then
co-starred with Robert Mitchum in The Amsterdam Kill (1977), directed by
Robert Clouse, who specialized in chopsocky pictures. Describe your role in
this production and what it was like to work with Mitchum and Richard Egan.
BD: The Amsterdam Kill was two movies made
at the same time. Ours was shot in Hong Kong.
Mitchum and Egan were both tough guys, on and off screen. You didn't want to be
around either of them when they were inebriated, and that was frequently.
Mitchum played pranks on the deaf director Clouse. I did The Amsterdam Kill to get my wife a trip to the Orient.
CR: You
played President Abraham Lincoln's assassin, the actor John Wilkes Booth, in The
Lincoln Conspiracy (1977). How did you tackle this demanding role?
BD: Playing Booth was fun, carte blanche for ham
acting. The Lincoln Conspiracy was shot in Savannah because of the ante-bellum
architecture, including cobblestoned streets that presented a horsemanship
hazard. My mustache looked like a bat had died on my lip.
CR: Did you
agree to a supporting role in Love and Bullets (1979), a Charles Bronson
actioner, because it was to have been directed by John Huston, who bowed out
and was replaced by Stuart Rosenberg?
BD: I agreed to Love and Bullets because my
acting confidence had just been shattered by Irwin Allen on the set of The
Swarm (1978). He pre-plotted all his camera angles from drawings and knew
exactly how he wanted the actors to look and sound in each scene. All acting
creativity was eviscerated. An actor was sent straight back to kindergarten,
miming and speaking in a programmed manner. Stuart Rosenberg was an old friend
from the golden days of early TV, and it was a chance to see Switzerland.
CR: Anything you can tell us about working with Bronson?
BD: Bronson was a pleasant person, as was his wife, Jill Ireland.
CR: Did you have any scenes with Rod Steiger, who
played a gangster?
BD: I had no scenes with Steiger, but he has always
been one of my all-time favorite actors for having the courage to be bad.
CR: In 1979,
you guest starred on Bill Bixby's series The Incredible Hulk, in an
episode entitled The Snare. What was Bixby like to work with?
BD: The Incredible Hulk was a joy. It's the
old "hunt a human" story redone, but it was done wonderfully here.
Bill Bixby, taken from us far too early, was a gentleman in the best sense, a
"gentle man" who was intelligent and gifted, as well as a fellow San
Franciscan. We compared notes on having won Gold Pin at Miss Miller's School of Dance. The hulk, Lou Ferrigno, was so
uncoordinated that I worried when he had to retrieve my corpse. I feared he'd
drop me.
CR: You were
certainly turning up in a lot of genre television in the late seventies and
early eighties. In 1980, you guest starred in an episode of Charlie's Angels
— Angels of the Deep — with Sonny Bono and genre staples Anne Francis (Forbidden
Planet) and Gary Lockwood (2001). Any memories you'd like to share
about this assignment?
BD: Charlie's Angels endures in my memory
because, for all the beauty of the leading ladies, none held a candle to the
wife of the director (Kim Manners). She was maybe the sexiest-looking lady I've
ever seen. And how many guys can claim they actually worked with Sonny Bono?
CR: Director
René Cardona, Jr. assembled a great cast for his 1985 adventure/horror movie Treasure
of the Amazon. What are your recollections of working with the late,
lamented Donald Pleasence and John Ireland?
BD: Treasure of the Amazon was the second
movie I did in Mexico
for René Cardona, who had a knack for getting semi-names to agree to do crap at
the risk of Montezuma's revenge. John Ireland I knew as a fellow Montecitan, a
guy who cheated local merchants by never paying his bills. Donald Pleasence was
a quirky scene-stealer. In my memoir, I describe how he got hoisted on his own
petard by scenes with an Amazonian who had the biggest boobs in Mexico. Donald
came up to her nipples, bested for screen attention before he could speak
CR: Tell us
about your writing career subsequent to retiring from acting in 1995.
BD: My first book, Inside the New York Giants, is a football scouting grading system. Are You Anybody? is a memoir. Then I wrote a spoof called Dropkick, in which I anticipate the first female football player. That Air Forever Dark is a very macabre adventure story. And my latest novel, Kissing Kate, is a funny tale of an aging star of stage and screen who is recruited for a wealthy community's amateur production of Cole Porter's Kiss Me Kate. I just finished adapting my unpublished novel, Beneath the Third Waterfall, into a play entitled Seeds in the Wind. The novel traces the longstanding friendship of two women who meet first during the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906. So creatively speaking, I'm still breathing. I keep busy and I'm happy.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky House Speaker Greg Stumbo says Ashley Judd would be a formidable candidate if she runs for the U.S. Senate next year.
Stumbo told reporters Thursday in Frankfort that the actress and activist is bright and articulate and would appeal to voters because she's a "fresh face."
Judd, a Kentucky native who resides in Tennessee, has said she's considering a run for the Kentucky Senate seat held by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell. McConnell has already opened a campaign office and has a bulging campaign fund as he prepares to seek a new six-year term in 2014.
Stumbo, a Prestonsburg Democrat, says it is a winnable race for Democrats. But he says Judd would have a tough time carrying eastern Kentucky unless she changes her position on mountaintop removal mining. She is an outspoken opponent of the coal-removal method.

Even if not multi-accounts it is in bad taste to play this way and my rankings will reflect that.

The Sandbox Warehouse and RideSFO's bike shop in San Francisco's Potrero Hill district opened its doors this weekend, hosting the first annual Local Custom Frame Builder Show. Popular, local bicycle builders made an appearance, such as Bruce Gordon, Brent Steelman and Hank Matheson, to display their products.
The highlight of the event might have been Bicycle Fabrications' newest 2-D suspension design on a downhill mountain bike, designed and welded by Hank Matheson, and engineered by Jon Heim.
The Bicycle Fabrication "Candyman" downhill prototype featured a 2-D design that Matheson says will improve mountain bike suspension. The Cannondale Gemini DH prototype for the 2-D suspension originated Matheson's interest.
"I've been spending years trying to develop something that was similar [to the Cannondale 2-D]. The 2-D suspension never made it past the prototype," Matheson told BikeRadar. "No one else is doing it right now. It's the pinnacle of suspension technology—it's better than everything else."
The inspiration for the 2-D design came from in here - Jon Heim's VW
"People love it," Matheson said. "They either love it, or they're very confused."
The suspension better handles large square-edge impacts, Matheson says, because it has two degrees of freedom (2-D), or axes of movement, which are independent. The bicycle has an eccentric disc link connected to a polyurethane elastomer spring and the main swing arm, so once it experiences an impact, "the elastomer allows for a controlled rearward movement of the rear wheel; the eccentric pivot allows the swingarm to rotate backwards and slightly upwards, away from the impact, while the main shock controls the suspensions vertical movement," Matheson told DirtRagMag.com.
Other bike builders at the show included Cameron Falconer of Falconer Cycles, Dan Nelson of NTP Custom Bikes, Brad Hodges of Nemesis Project, Destroy Bikes and Peter Verdone Designs. The builders brought in their custom-made and designed frames, forks, clips, stems, handle bars, seat posts and more.

"We wanted to have a custom frame builder show for local builders to show off American-made frames," Philipp Segura, of Ride SFO, who helped organize the event. "It's a prequel to the SF Bike Expo in November. We want to help everyone get their names out there."

Veteran frame builder Bruce Gordon was among those on hand, showing off frames, tires and even toe clips.

"I enjoy making stuff. My approach is aesthetics," Bruce Gordon said. "[With the toe clips], I made something minimalist and that worked really good."
Bamboo Bike Studio showcased their natural-fiber frames, including some made with Mexican bamboo.

"We want a design that is established globally, but pulled from local resources," Bamboo Bike Studio's Justin Aguinaldo said of his product.

The 2012 fall sports season has come to an end for everybody, unless you're a varsity cross country runner at Germantown Friends School. Both the Tigers' boys and girls teams will be in action this Saturday at the Nike Northeast Regionals, held about 60 miles north of New York City in the town of Wappingers Falls.
There, the course laid out in Bowdoin Park is widely considered to be one of the toughest in the Northeastern U.S., and the GFS runners will be duking it out with elite athletes from eight states in an attempt to qualify for Nike's national meet, which will be held December 1 in Portland, Ore.
The Germantown Friends teams both repeated as champions at the Pa. Independent Schools meet back on October 27, but head coach Rob Hewitt didn't want to have almost a full month go by with nothing but intra-squad workouts to prepare his charges for the Northeast Regionals.
Last Wednesday afternoon, the Tigers trekked out to West Chester to hone their edge against the top two teams in the Pa. Interscholastic Athletic Association large schools division (Class AAA). The host for Wednesday's practice race was Henderson High School, which won the boys' 2012 state title by tiebreaker against Catholic League champion Cardinal O'Hara.
Both the Warriors and the Lions are ranked among the top 20 teams in the nation by Milesplit.com and will be racing in the Northeast Regionals.
GFS, Henderson, and O'Hara, joined by a lone runner from Kennett High School, competed in a 3200-meter race on the track at Henderson.
When Henderson won the state championship on November 3, Hewitt sent a congratulatory text message to Warriors coach Kevin Kelly. He also mentioned that he'd scheduled a two-mile time trial for his Germantown teams, and eventually last Wednesday's three-way workout was arranged.
GFS senior Sami Aziz, the Pa. Independent Schools champion, ran most of the race alongside Henderson junior Tony Russell, the PIAA winner. Aziz had more left in the tank in the final lap, crossing the line first in nine minutes, 14.7 seconds, while Russell came in at 9:16.3.
After Henderson's Reiny Barchet (9:21.6) and O'Hara's Jim Belfatto (9:22.1) finished third and fourth, GFS senior Lyle Wistar placed fifth in 9:22.7. With that figure, Wistar lowered his personal record at that distance by seven seconds. Two more runners arrived with times under 9:30, quite impressive for an informal practice race.
The team depth of the large PIAA schools was evident, as the remaining Germantown Friends runners finished farther back in the group. Nevertheless, Hewitt was pleased to see junior James Finney run a new PR of 9:56.9, undercutting the 10-minute mark for the first time. The other runners the Tigers will enter in the championship race this weekend are seniors Ben Stassen, Henry Shah, and Paul Maxson, and junior Andy Bugos.
Last Wednesday, a few male runners from GFS and Henderson competed in a separate co-ed race in which almost all the girls were from GFS. Tigers senior Eliza Lukens-Day, the Friends Schools League champion and the fourth-place finisher at the Independent Schools race, won easily in 11:10.6, coming close to breaking the Germantown Friends record.
Second went to sophomore teammate Brigit Andersson (11:46.8), who has shown great promise as a first-year cross country runner. Next, in order, came junior Alison Love, freshmen Caitlin Harrity and Alice Wistar, senior Isabel Goldstein, and sophomore Arielle Frank, the five girls who will complete the GFS contingent in Saturday's main event.

Buffett discuss their new book, 40 Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World, at the St. Louis County Library. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Sara Schafer Top Producer Editor Email In 2006, Howard G. Buffett was given an opportunity to accomplish something great when his father, Warren Buffett (the fourth richest person in the world), told him he would be receiving $3 billion to use toward a charitable effort. If you were in this situation, what would you do? Howard G. Buffett chose to attack the world's hunger problem head-on. Not only does he want everyone across the globe to be well fed and healthy, but he wants this to happen in the next 40 years. In their 400-plus page book, "40 Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World," the father-and-son duo share inspiring stories, lessons and challenges from their quest to wipe out hunger. The 40-year deadline was inspired by a planter clinic held at Sloan Implement in Assumption, Ill. "Farmers tend to think about their profession (as) just once cycle after another," Buffett recalls being told. "You plant, you spray, you harvest and before you know it, you're starting over." Buffett says they were encouraged to recalibrate how they think. "By the time you climb into the tractor with your dad and learn how to plant and then you climb off to let your son or daughter plant, you have about 40 crop seasons," Buffett says. "That really hit me. I never really thought about how short of a time period that is." The reality that most people only have 40 prime years to accomplish their goals was a sobering and inspiring thought for Buffett. With this new mindset, he says his organization, the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, has pledged to take action, make mistakes and create real progress. It Starts with the Soil Buffett says a common mistake he's seen in many philanthropic efforts is the incorrect assumption that what works in the developed world, primarily the U.S., will work across the globe. "The biggest mistake we made for a long time was thinking that what we do can just be transferred," Buffett says. In undeveloped countries, farmers can't own land, don't have access to new technology and don't have an established land-grant university system. All of those are huge obstacles to overcome. Buffet is well traveled, having visited 130 countries, but he's a farmer through-and-through. Buffett says the first thing he does when he visits a new place is drop to his knees and rub the soil between his fingers. He has made soil conservation one of the key components of his hunger solutions. "Great civilizations have failed because they have not taken care of their soil," he says. "I have a farm that I can dig down and see 5' of black dirt with 4% organic matter. I can waste a lot and still get by. Not everyone has that luxury." Buffett hopes U.S. farmers, who he says have done more than anyone in the world to feed the hungry population, continue to adopt soil conservation methods such as no-till, cover crops and nutrient management. "If we aren't the best stewards we can be, how do we expect others to do it? We're all in this together," he says. For more information: Howard G. and Howard W. Buffett just finished a nine-city press tour across the country to promote their book, "40 Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World."

You crazy for this one, Jay.
During Game 5 of the NBA Finals with Miami Heat facing off against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday, HOVA released a three-minute video teasing details about the content and artists featured on his new album, "Magna Carta Holy Grail," set to drop July 4th. Rick Rubin, Pharrell Williams, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz are all present in the video, brainstorming in the studio to announce the release Jay-Z's twelfth album.
Using a Samsung commercial as a platform to announce "Magna Carta," Jay-Z asks longtime producer Rick Rubin how he can "navigate through this whole thing, through success, through failures, through all this and remain yourself," according to Billboard.

2nd Call for Proposals for the AfDB Microfinance Capacity Building Fund
The African Development Bank Group (AfDB) is pleased to announce the 2nd call for proposals of the Microfinance Capacity Building Fund ("MCBF"). Award amounts will range from US $200,000 to US $500,000 per project, depending on the activity, and will be given to approximately 6-8 awardees.
We invite rating and auditing agencies, financial institutions, and network associations from West and Central Africa to apply.
Applicants from the West African Economic Monetary Union (WAEMU) are eligible to apply for grants that address issues related to rural financial development. Other countries within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) region will be considered on a case by case basis. WAEMU applicants will be able to deepen rural outreach through activities such as:
- Agricultural value chain financing
- Branchless and e-banking
- Crop/weather insurance
- Development of mobile payment systems
- Diversification of the credit product range (e.g., leasing, warehouse receipt systems)
Applicants from the Economic and Monetary Union of Central Africa (CEMAC) region are eligible to apply for grants that address issues related to transparency. Beneficiaries of the fund will help increase transparency within the Microfinance Sector. A lack of transparency in the microfinance industry is a key barrier in terms of the ability of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) to raise capital, gain confidence from clients and therefore grow, expand and deepen their outreach. The Fund seeks to support the governance of MFIs through:
- External Audit: Train auditors to work with financial intermediaries in the microfinance sector; support MFIs in getting appropriate external audit services; support the design of business models that allow for services to be provided at a cost MFIs can afford.
- Accounting and Financial Reporting: Train MFIs' accountants as well as external accountants to implement accounting standards, reporting and financial analysis as per local regulation as well as microfinance best practices.
- Supervision: Support capacity building for supervisory bodies.
All applicants are invited to submit their proposals online before November 30, 2012.
Established on July 19, 2012 by the AfDB and the Government of Spain, the objective of this fund is to scale up the capacity of the financial sector (especially microfinance institutions) for the benefit of poor and low-income people in Africa. The MCBF is also supported by the UN Capital Development Fund (UNDF), with technical guidance provided by the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP).

Recently, I received a comment on my blog from Debi Lasher, a descendant of Anna Engel Winegar and Conrad Lasher. She had found records that Anna had married Sebastian Lasher but was looking for other Winegar/Lasher marriages. That got me reviewing historical records, and I was amazed at what I found. My records showed that Ulrich Winegar and Anna Arnoldt had three children, Anna Marie, Elizabeth, and Garrett and that the family came to America in 1710. Passenger records showed that the family came with two daughters and a son. Garrett married Anna Catherine Snyder, Anna Marie married Johan Christian Dietrick, and Elizabeth married Sebastian Lasher. The last of these was based on the genealogical writings of Ira Winegar.
In 1978, Helen Beazer published findings from her search of original documents in New York state in The Winegar Newsletter, Vol 1, No:3, July 1978. Based on her research, it appears that Ira had been wrong when he stated that Elizabeth Winegar married Sebastian Lasher. It was actually Elizabeth Coen who married Sebastian. Engel Winegar had married Conrad Lasher and apparently Elizabeth Winegar and Engel were the same person. She is also sometimes called Anna.
In the process of exploring this topic I followed some of the leaves on Ancestry.com. I found that most of the trees that included Ulrich showed that he had 8 to 10 children. Most showed duplicate information with minor modifications, and many were inconsistent with known facts. For instance, Anna Margaretha was shown born in Germany in 1690, 11 years before the marriage of Anna and Ulrich. Anna Arnoldt was 13 in 1690. Anna Margaretha is shown dying in New York, but there is no record of her traveling to New York. She did not travel with Ulrich. One tree shows Anna Maria as born in New York in 1700, 10 years before Ulrich and family arrived. Many of the trees show between 3 and 5 daughters born in 1705. This would be Elizabeth/Anna/ Engel, but I am sure that there was only one daughter born that year. Most trees show Conrad born in 1700 but with no marriage or death record. Most trees also erroneously show a son Hendrick born in 1723. Hendrick would actually be the son of Garrett and the grandson of Ulrich.
I still believe that Ulrich and Anna had only three children and would love to hear from anyone with documentation to support any additional children. I wrote in the past about the ease of genealogical research in the modern era. It is much easier and faster to find information than ever before, but it is also too easy to spread errors. It is easy to follow leaves on Ancestry and click to add a person to my tree. A single error thus becomes duplicated and its source is difficult to track down. Sometimes I come across information in a tree that I don't have, and I would love to add this information to my tree. I have followed up with everyone that showed that info and have been disappointed that no one could remember where it came from.
Please excuse my ranting on this topic, but it is a serious concern, and careless acceptance of erronious data makes it difficult to establish what is correct. In the meantime, I would like to hear from anyone who can document additional children for Ulrich and Anna Arnoldt.

I don't play all of the new MMO's that hit the scene, but I do try out a fair variety rather than sticking to one game forever. I do tend to only play a single game at a time, because while I can split my focus between a dozen different alts, I don't like to do the same between a dozen different games. One of the big topics out there right now for different games is whether or not the Trinity (Tank, Heals, and DPS) should exist or if it should be done away with all together.
Now, since I haven't played all of the games out there I can only write this post based upon my own experiences. I have played many games where the trinity does exist (such as WoW, SWTOR, Rift, etc) but I have only played one MMO where it did not, which was Guild Wars 2. After reading several of the posts from other authors over the last few days in response to EverQuest Next announcing that there would be no Trinity, I started to do some thinking of my own.
This article is purely my thoughts and opinions on the matter. You're free to agree or disagree, and I'm happy to entertain discusson on the matter, pros and cons of different options, and your own ideas here as well. I'm no expert here, I'm just a guy with an idea who feels like sharing.

A 30-year-old Du Quoin man who survived a two-year tour of Afghanistan, is laying in a St. Louis hospital with a broken neck after his new Chevrolet truck plowed through a herd of deer, rolled down an embankment and left him trapped inside for over two hours last weekend.
Jeremy Fleming has a home in Du Quoin and a mobile home outside of Coulterville where he spends the week working at a mining operation there. He had come to Du Quoin on Saturday and was heading back to Coulterville.
He was on the Pyatt-Cutler Road at Red Squirrel Road when a herd of deer suddenly began crossing the blacktop. Jeremy hit one of the deer and swerved to miss one or more of the others.
His 2013 Chevrolet Silverado--only three weeks old and still being driven on temporary Illinois license plates--went off the roadway and rolled down a 45-foot embankment into the underbrush.
His truck was crushed. Jeremy was still strapped inside. His neck was broken, the upper vertebrae thrown out of alignment.
A grandfather, Ron Danbury says, Jeremy told him he unsuccessfully tried to elbow the glass out of the driver's side window, then over two hours got unstrapped and maneuvered enough to push out another window.
According to family accounts he managed his way out of the truck, then began crawling up the 45-foot embankment to the roadside. Somewhere in-between a passerby saw the truck in the ditch below with its headlights still on. The motorist dialed Emergency 911 for assistance, but apparently did not see Jeremy and left.
A sheriff's deputy drove to the scene and found Jeremy. He was taken by Pinckneyville Ambulance Service to the Pinckneyville Community Hospital where a CT scan was taken and digitally sent to another hospital for an assessment. This was in the early morning hours on Sunday. The assessment confirmed the broken neck and Jeremy was stabilized for ambulance transfer to St. Louis University Medical Center.
After he arrived, doctors confirmed the broken neck and compressed vertebrae. They tried to "stretch" sections of the neck back into place. That didn't work.
They began a 5 1/2 hour surgery that included surgical placement of tubes to relieve the pressure, They fused a five-inch section of bone from his hip into the neck to help with the stabilization.
As of Monday he was in the ICU experiencing some pain. The prognosis is good, according to Danbury, as doctors talk about six months of recovery at the outset. Jeremy is the son of Dana and Rhonda Fleming. Danbury believes it was a will to live that got him through the ordeal and he thanks the Good Samaritan for calling 911.

Microsoft has struck a deal with Telefónica to start a joint marketing effort to boost the sales of Windows Phone 8 hardware. Initially for a period lasting a year, the company will enhance marketing activities in support of stocked Windows Phones in the UK and Germany through O2, as well as Spain, Mexico, Brazil and Chile. Telefónica wishes to help develop a strong third choice for consumers to break the duopoly of Android and iOS.
José María Álvarez Pallete, COO of Telefónica S.A. had the following to comment on the announcement:
"An associate partner such as Microsoft is chosen as a result of its operator-focused business approach. The Microsoft business culture is based on a model of value creation through its associates, which fits in perfectly with our culture and also with our way of doing business."
Telefónica will work with hardware partners and Microsoft to ensure there's market demand for devices and enough high-end handsets are available that run Windows Phone 8. It'll be interesting to see how this partnership develops and how effective the campaign will be regarding sales and improved brand awareness.

1. Let's start with this -- Merry Christmas!!
Sweet Birdies' Nest created my cards and I *loved* them. Loved them! Thanks so much ladies. They also did the boys' birthday cards this year and they were precious:)
2. I don't think I ever shared the fact that the MRI of my knee showed no tears. (If I did, oops, I'm senile and I'm sharing it again.) What it did show was some reeeaaaally roughed up cartilage. My knee cap tracks incorrectly and has wreaked havoc on the cartilage. My doctor has chosen a conservative method of treatment (surgery likely isn't going to be necessary!) and is letting pain be our guide. I have a cool new brace to run in that keeps my kneecap where it should be and I'm working with PT to strengthen all surrounding muscles to lessen the load my knees carry. I am running 3 or so days a week (which is about to get amped up after the new year), 2 three to five milers and long runs on the weekends (6-8). I'm carefully increasing my mileage this time.
2. I tweaked some things in the boys' rooms and I love the changes. One thing: I found that I got what I paid for regarding fabrics. $3.50 per yard fabric, not so great. However, $20 per yard fabric from Lewis & Sheron Textiles, pretty fabulous, very worth it. LS is at the bottom. Great place to find fabric!
3. I tried a green drink from Whole Foods, in part to look cool and in part because I am a stickler for veggies daily. This one had kale, celery, apples, and some other stuff that I forgot. I found it weird to drink celery but I didn't hate it. I just wish they sold smaller cups. Better portion size needed and I'll be a fan.
Laughed until it hurt and ate chocolate cake! What could be better?
P.S. My hubs bought me this cute dress from Anthro for my b-day, would you believe this is my first dress from there?! Woohoo!

It appears NASA's studies of the future of air travel and air taxi concepts. By studying these possible futures we may find our selves ready to accept flying cars in everyone's garage.
Spoke and Hub and the future of Commercial Air Travel has changed drastically over the last two-decades. The proof being the advancement in the marketplace by discount airline carriers of course and the most recent acceleration coming about with fractional jet aircraft market. Here are two great websites so you can read up on this futuristic concept and the innovations rapidly approaching reality at;
Embry Riddle SATS Program
NASA Langley SATS Program
We may find ourselves sooner than expected with flying cars, perhaps similar to the cars in the movie; "Minority Report" with Tom Cruise. This of course is only one possible future; Net-Centric cars, which lock into the system and communicate with one another, like bids in a giant flock. No more traffic jams. The Spoke and Hub was a creation of the larger Airlines and Fred Smith's Fed Ex concept. But even now we are seeing Fed Ex pre-sort and send much of the packages direct, rather than to the Memphis Mid-Night Sort. Which indeed is something to see and is recommended for any logistics or distribution student as the economies of scale nearly pay for the extra distances that many packages travel through the night to reach you by 10 AM guaranteed the next morning.

LEWISTON, Maine — While they don't agree on much, one thing Republican Gov. Paul LePage and his Democratic challenger Mike Michaud seem to be in agreement on is they don't intend to participate in too many public debates.
Michaud's campaign spokeswoman Lizzy Reinholt also said Wednesday that Michaud would only participate in debates that LePage had agreed to participate in and wouldn't face independent candidate Eliot Cutler alone.
So far only four debates have been scheduled, according to Reinholt, and all of those will happen in October, just weeks before voters go to the polls and well after many have cast absentee ballots.
"We have said all along we are running against Paul LePage, he's who we are looking to unseat," Reinholt said explaining the campaign's decision to not debate just Cutler.
But Cutler's campaign takes issue with snubs saying Maine voters are losing out and democracy is suffering. Since the start of his campaign Cutler has urged his opponents to join him in debates in all of Maine's 16 counties.
"This is a dark day for both Maine's democracy and Maine voters," Cutler said. "If a candidate is afraid to compare his ideas and proposals with his opponents or to submit to tough questions from panelists, what kind of leadership can we expect of him in the Blaine House?"
Cutler blasted both LePage and Michaud saying they were playing off each other as they avoided public debates on the issues that matter to voters.
"We know that Gov. LePage is a failed leader and manager, and his refusal to debate is nothing new," Cutler said, "he did the same thing in 2010. Now Congressman Michaud is hiding behind the Governor. They are both cowards."
Cutler said Michaud and LePage would instead depend on television advertising, much of it paid for by outside interest groups, to shape their campaigns.
"Mr. LePage and Mr. Michaud want voters to make choices on the basis of a cascade of negative television ads bought by outside special interests," Cutler said. "They are engaging in exactly the kind of reckless and cynical politics that have led to partisanship and gridlock, have sent Maine into an 11-year long economic tailspin."
Cutler said it was the kind of tactics that were, "increasingly turning voters away from political parties and their candidates."
But Reinholt dismissed the rhetoric saying Cutler was polling far behind both Michaud and LePage. She also said voters would get a chance to see all three candidates go head-to-head in at least four debates and possibly more.
Michaud has based his decision on which debates to participate in on whether or not LePage would be there, effectively leaving the debate schedule in LePage's hands.
Brent Littlefield, a campaign manager and political consultant for LePage, said they based their debate schedule on the governor's work schedule and his other priorities in running the state.
So far there is not public debate scheduled for the Lewiston-Auburn area, but Littlefield said he was pushing for one within the campaign but hasn't been able to move Lepage or other campaign staff on the topic.
LePage's campaign has declined a September debate hosted by the Sun Journal in Lewiston, and Michaud said he would not participate either.
Littlefield blasted Michaud saying his decision to follow LePage's lead on when, where and who to debate was clearly a tactic meant to limit Cutler's public criticism of Michaud.
"They don't want to be attacked by Eliot Cutler, that's what they are worried about," Littlefield said. "And it's just not Mike Michaud's persona to lead on anything. He doesn't even lead on who is going to walk first in a parade. The guy doesn't lead on anything."
John Porter, the president of the Bangor Area Chamber of Commerce, also said LePage and Michaud had backed out of a debate they were planning.
Porter, a former journalist and editorial page editor with the Portland Press Herald, said he understood why both Michaud and LePage would want to limit their debate appearances, and it is a common tactic for the independent candidate in a race to clamor for more debates.
Porter said he had a conversation with the LePage campaign for about two weeks before they ultimately decided they were not going to participate in a debate.
"They told us they had received a lot of requests, and ultimately they had to make some hard choices and decided not to participate with us," Porter said.
The LePage campaign gave the Sun Journal a similar explanation.
Porter said the Bangor Area Chamber pulled the plug on their debate realizing Michaud also was not going to participate if LePage wasn't there and that having a debate with just Cutler seemed senseless.
Michaud appearing along with Cutler would only add legitimacy to Cutler's campaign, something Michaud's campaign won't do given how close LePage and Michaud are in the polls, Porter said.
"If I was running Mike Michaud's campaign I wouldn't go anywhere the governor wasn't present, it doesn't make any sense for him to be boosting Eliot's stature by having a one-on-one debate," Porter said. "And if I were Eliot's campaign I would want to get out and talk before as many people as I can."
Porter, who said he also has worked on campaigns, said he wasn't as certain about what LePage's campaign strategy was around limiting debate appearances.
He said it was disappointing chamber members in Bangor wouldn't get a chance to listen to the candidates debate on issues important to them and that turnout for previous debates in Bangor often draw 300 to 500 people.
"It's disappointing, but I understand it," Porter said. "Obviously the more information people have and the more access to information that people have about the candidates the better off the whole process is."
Porter also noted that debates in Maine were not very often "game changing events" the way a debate can sometimes influence the outcome of a national election.
"On the other hand, I think it is just a good thing that people get the information and get a chance to either see or hear from these folks directly," Porter said. "It's always disappointing when the dynamics of the race, and some would call that the politics of the race, play out in a way where we can't get more of that — obviously we end up less rich because of that."
Steve Workman, who is volunteering to help organize a debate between the candidates for the Greater York Region Chamber of Commerce in southern Maine, said they would invite the candidates and hold the debate regardless of who agrees to show up.
Workman, an avowed Cutler supporter, said those who don't show up will be a message to the 35,000 voters in the region that they don't matter much.
He said his chamber decided to press on with its debate and not play games with the candidates about who would be there and who wouldn't.
Workman also said issues around jobs and the economy were central to the election cycle in 2014. He also said Maine's media shouldn't be giving the candidates a pass on debates.
Workman said it's true the candidates are all making numerous public appearances but nothing focuses on the differences between the candidates such as a good debate based around challenging questions and not just a "meet-and-greet" event.
He said the Greater York Region Chamber would hold a press conference Thursday to announce the details of its debate invitation.
"Usually you find out through the grapevine, somebody tried to do a debate and the candidates refused," Workman said. "I view the debates as an obligation, not an option. It is our political process."

Justin Timberlake has given his official STAMP OF APPROVAL to Miley Cyrus and her crotch-thrusting, bear-grinding twerkfest at the MTV VMAs ... saying, "It's not like she did it at the Grammys."
Justin appeared on 102.7 in NYC this morning and told Jim Douglas -- "I like Miley ... I like Miley a lot."
"I think she's young. She's letting everybody know she's growing up."
JT also talks about his favorite part of the routine -- and it wasn't the twerking ... or even the drugged-out teddy bears. In fact, it wasn't even on the stage.

A Pokemon with an unusually large fanbase thanks to it's feminine looks. Don't bother looking to hard, porn is everywhere.
"I think if I wanted any pokemon to be real, it'd be a gardevoir. They're loyal to their trainers, and know some good moves. And they're hot."
"You know there can be male gardevoir too, right?"
"You know there can be male gardevoir too, right?"
by Garde's other acolyte November 24, 2007
A Pokémon first introduced in Ruby and Sapphire; it has a giant fanbase due to its feminine appearance. However, some people neglect that fact that half of all Gardevoir are male. This can provide a bit of awkwardness. Luckily, Kirlia, Gardevoir's preevolution (and a feminine Pokémon in itself) can evolve into Gallade if it's male. Also, due to its appearance, Gardevoir hentai can be found in thousands of places on the Internet. If you can't find it, then you're a dumbass.
