Amsterdam, July 14th 2014 - Heineken® has today unveiled @wherenext, a revolutionary new digital experience part of the fully-integrated global campaign, 'Cities of the World'. The Twitter-based @wherenext service aims to help consumers explore new experiences of their cities, using a brand new and innovative social tool. The digital experience of the 'Cities of the World' campaign marks a milestone in the evolution of Heineken's digital marketing strategy.
Acting as a social compass, @wherenext reads the pulse of a city by using real-time location-based social activity to show where is hot and guide urbanites to new adventures off their beaten track. The real-time recommendations engine will help consumers answer that eternal night-out question, 'Where next?' The real-time activity will also be provided on a mobile responsive website www.heineken.com/openyourcity for access to all consumers around the world.
The new digital platform - developed in collaboration with R/GA London - is a solution to findings from recent Heineken research which revealed that consumers experience a 'fear of missing out' (FOMO) on the exciting experiences in their city.
The research also showed how consumers from different cities seek a different 'social currency' in each urban environment. People who live in them want to break from routine, experience new places and embark on urban adventures that will add to their social currency. For example, New Yorkers see 'making it' as the ultimate social currency whereas people from Rio de Janeiro see happiness as the absolute mark of achievement. For Londoners, it's all about personal development and defining success for themselves.
"Our world-class marketing campaigns are global, integrated and digitally-driven as everything we do is inspired by and oriented towards our fans. The success of the Heineken brand is rooted in a commitment to continual innovation," said Gianluca Di Tondo, Senior Brand Director Global Heineken Brand.
"We boldly break away from traditional beer marketing approaches to create stories that inspire people to be courageous and aspirational. @wherenext and Cities of the World is the latest iteration of Heineken strategy, using rich consumer insights to respond to their desires to explore the great adventures in their cities."
The social-media-based service uses a unique algorithm that listens to social media activity, such as tweets, check-ins and photos across popular platforms like Twitter, Instagram and Foursquare and analyses which locations are trending. The platform will help people navigate nightlife, overcome their fear of missing out and live their city to the fullest.
JP Maheu, Managing Director, Global Brand & Agency Strategy at Twitter, said: "Heineken is a consistently innovative brand on Twitter, and we're excited to see them continue this into the lifestyle and entertainment space with the @wherenext campaign.
"The initiative is really creative use of Twitter. It's well-suited to the real-time and mobile nature of the platform and will give fans a window into the most vibrant experiences in cities around the world, right in the palm of their hand."
Heineken will put @wherenext to the test by launching a global, live televised social experiment that will see real people in three cities challenged to uncover the best kept secrets in a race against the clock. More details to be released in July 2014.
See @wherenext in action at http://youtu.be/hiUsikDoU1Q.

Personal setups, Ultralight / Singletrack » Lee Blackwell's homemade rackby Lee Blackwell
My bikepacking started 6 years ago when Steve Becker and I rode a section of the Colorado Trail to Durango. I used an Old Man Mountain rack with Arkel Panniers on my Moots YBB. The whole setup was the best I could do at the time but proved to be heavy and awkward.
Later, with more experience when Scott Morris and I rode the AZ trail I used the Old Man Mountain on my Moots but without the panniers. The load was secured to the top of the rack.
Last year I decided to make my own rack to fit my full suspension Lenz Leviathan. Full suspension bikes are a greater challenge. After several pretty laughable attempts and a few fiascoes during the rides (thanks for your patience Mike and Scott) I did come up with my own design which has worked very well. I did have a lot of fun designing, and testing and refining the rack.
Now in the quest for an ever lighter rig my thinking is to try the new generation of seat bags. It's in the works. More later..

January 22, 2012
January 29, 2011
October 6, 2010
Isaac is 21 years old and goes to Penn State University. He was born and raised in Pennsylvania, but not a Pennsylvania fan. Does not like the Phillies, Sixers, Flyers, Eagles, or the soccer and lacrosse teams, (whoever they are). Is a huge college football fan and a die-hard Penn State football fan from birth. Isaac IS the BIGGEST Penn State fan in the whole world. He will watch and participate in many sports, but he really doesn't care for pro football, basketball, or any other sport. He loves college football and recently hockey. His passion of this caused him to find this site in September of 2008.
The best thing in the world for him is going up to Penn State for a football game. The fans are great, the stadium is huge, the team is successful, the ice cream is the best in the world, and the town is perfect, in his mind. All of State College, the town and the campus, and the fields and the stadium, is perfect to him. There's nothing like stopping at the Red Rabbit restaurant on the way up there to get some delicious fried chicken or a famous bunny burger. Don't forget the milkshake and the fries!
Possibly the best four words in his mind would be: WE ARE...PENN STATE!!!
RIP Joe Paterno. Forever you will live in our hearts, and rest peacefully in heaven. I love you Joe Pa.
How are you bud? I hope all is well.
Isaac my cousin!!!!!!! Great to see you back at B/R! Yeah - the Dawgs are reeking the place out, but I'm hopeful we can get it back on track. I look forward to reading your articles again.
Where are you my long lost friend? Ready for some football?
As President of the Les Miles Fan Club I took a big hit on Saturday Night but is Les really on the Hot Seat?
I'd appreciate your feedback and I hope you like it, if you find me worthy!
Thanks in advance. - HB
Thanks, Isaac - I really pulled for Penn State! Iowa has its work cut out on Saturday!
here is a story of another NFL Legend who has yet to get his deserved respect :
Thanks Isaac, that was very nice of you!! When you care, inevitably, you suffer!!
Remarkably Isaac - You were the first person I thought of after our loss. I was so disappointed, indeed, because unlike Penn State - Iowa struggles to field outstanding teams.
I am crushed at the loss - and at the loss of Ricky Stanzi. I hope he is able to come back and defeat Ohio State next weekend. Of course, this loss knocks Iowa out of the BCS picture - there will be no Big 10 team in the BCS...sad to say.
I am rooting for Penn State today - I hope they win and I hope Iowa can win out, too...I may not come back from this loss - man it is hard, so hard...
Please pray for Cameon: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/275326-cameon-shiflett-needs-our-prayers

Our goal is to live out sustainable farming practices by treating the land as generational art. We do our best to consider the generational impact of our practices before we till the soil, choose our plant seed, and birth/buy livestock. Hay and pasture is grown without chemical pesticides and herbicides. In turn, our animals are raised on this same pasture and hay. Pastures and hay are managed by using animal rotation and cutting practices to balance pests and weeds while enhancing natural beneficial insects and plants. By holding future generations in mind, we live into sustainable practices that endeavor to listen to tomorrow's voices and leave the land at least as good as we found it. Our continual goal is to use sustainable farming practices and treat the landscape as natural art. We might not get the justice right every time, but we're working on it.
Farm Operations
The JustLiving Farm is located in the Toppenish Creek Valley of the Yakama Nation in south-central Washington. This 67-acre farm is mostly tillable ground with irrigation provided by Cascade Range snow run-off. We provide folk with natural grass-fed beef and visitation opportunities. We also raise a few meat goats and a few chickens for eggs. We do this with the help of three or four cats, the dog, our family, our neighbors and visitors.
Our farm work is based in Landscape Theology. This is to say we pay attention to sustainable practices that best enhance the living conditions of the farms soil, water, plants, and animals. We manage the farm holistically while paying close attention to three sectors: crops, animals, range. We have 20-acres in rotational pasture, 5-acres of alfalfa, 20- acres of rotational crops, a couple acres dedicated to row crops for our local food banks. The remainder is rangeland with 3-acres set aside for home, shop, and barn. Our rangeland is not land at rest but rather dynamic natural habitat for quail, pheasants, rabbits, voles, and field mice, many who are displaced by our farming practices. Allowing natural rangeland to surround our farmable land, the landscapes natural predators—hawks and coyotes—have a wild food source (rather than our domestic animals) for supper. These farming practices have led to minimal livestock loss due to predation.
We strive to care for our community by volunteering when and where we can. We also recognize we a lucky and privileged to live the life we do. So, each year we donate farm resources.
Livestock Practices
We raise our livestock using naturally-raised, rotational pasture standards. Our feeding standards are simple when it comes to our animals, natural grasses during the spring, summer, and fall, and farm-grown grass and alfalfa hay during the winter. Our animals are not supplemented with growth-hormones. Livestock have access to clean, fresh water and allowed to roam and feed in open fields. The health and wellbeing of our livestock is our highest priority; therefore, they receive mineral supplementation, veterinarian care, and anti-parasitic drugs and vaccinations to protect their health when needed.
