How did I not finish the second round?
I handed Jeremy our card, not sure exactly what happened. it was before the tent got setup, so maybe it never made it into the scoreboard.
I'll double check all my scorecards. If you could email me your scores I'll put it up.

Buckley's National Night Out to support law enforcement
Buckley Youth Activity Center will host the city's third annual National Night Out Tuesday. The evening event, which is staged in cities across the country, seeks to connect civilians to local law enforcement agencies to promote a safer community.
"(Knowing) each other in a small town is important to making the community stronger and safer," Youth Center Director Ellen Boyd said.
Attendees will be able to obtain free Child ID kits. The identification cards are for children who are not yet old enough to attend school. The cards contain important information like home contacts, parent work contacts, fingerprints and some medical data.
A fire engine and police squad cars will also be gathered for show. The fire department will cook up hot dogs for dinner. K-9 officer Yogi the Dog may make an appearance as well.
Local businesses and nonprofits are encouraged to set up booths and hand out advertisements or promotions, but should provide their own table, Boyd said. Participants are expected to confirm with Boyd by July 23 at 360-829-6534.

Well made, lightweight, strong, not bad
By Scottie
from San Jose CA
Comments about Haul-Master 1/2 ton Capacity 30-1/4 in. x 72 in. Convertible Aluminum Loading Ramp:
Great ramp. Strong, lightweight. The wide ramp makes it easy to walk along side your bike as you are loading it into the truck. This is safer. A little too short for easy loading of large bikes in a full size pickup. Short ramps are too steep. Would be a bit nicer if it were 2 feet longer. I may modify mine to have an extension. A bit expensive for what you are getting. Overall, no complaints.

Loading ramps
By Bob G
from Beaver Falls, PA
The product description says foldable. The individual ramps themselves DO NOT FOLD. They are 72 inches long and do not fold to make them more compact for storage or transport. If you bolt them together, they fold like a book.

FRIDAY, Aug. 31 (HealthDay News) -- People who don't kick their smoking habit after having a stroke have a threefold increased risk of death within a year, a new study warns.
The investigators also found that the sooner stroke survivors start smoking again, the greater their risk of death within one year.
In the study, Italian researchers looked at 921 patients who were regular smokers before they suffered an ischemic stroke, which is caused by a lack of blood flow to the brain. All of the patients attended smoking-cessation counseling sessions while in the hospital and said they were motivated to remain smoke-free once they left the hospital.
No nicotine replacement therapy or other smoking cessation help was provided to the patients after they were discharged from the hospital.
The patients reported their smoking status at one, six and 12 months after leaving the hospital. By the end of the first year, 53 percent of them had resumed smoking. Older patients and women were most likely to begin smoking again, the study found.
Within one year, 89 patients had died. That works out to a one-year probability of death of 9.6 percent. After adjusting for a number of other factors, the researchers concluded that patients who resumed smoking were three times more likely to die than those who didn't begin smoking again.
The study was presented Tuesday at the European Society of Cardiology annual meeting in Munich.
"It is well established that smoking increases the risk of having a stroke," study author Furio Colivicchi, from San Filippo Neri Hospital in Rome, said in a society news release. "Quitting smoking after an acute ischemic stroke may be more effective than any medication in reducing the risk of further adverse events. However, on the other hand, our study shows that stroke patients resuming active smoking after leaving the hospital can raise their risk of dying by as much as threefold."
The sooner patients started smoking again, the greater their risk of death within a year. For example, those who resumed smoking within 10 days of leaving the hospital were five times more likely to die within a year than those who didn't resume smoking.
"The results of this study suggest that health-care providers should take smoking cessation interventions more seriously, as recommended treatments are not making their way into practice," Colivicchi said. "A successful program to help stroke patients quit smoking should take a comprehensive long-term approach, including individual counseling, post-discharge support and pharmacological treatment."
Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
While the study uncovered an association between smoking in stroke patients and death within one year, it did not prove a cause and effect relationship.

It's such a weird thing to watch a child acquire language.
When your child is in school full time, he's picking up all sorts of stuff from teachers as well as the adorable little tykes he's with all day, on top of the stuff he picks up from you and anyone in your house. So you are never quite sure where some of the stuff comes from. And when he busts out with something hilariously bossy or rude, it's hard not to react with an incredulous laugh. Which a toddler probably considers the jackpot of parental reactions in most situations.
Here are some things Holden's been saying lately. I wish I could get this stuff on video so I could preserve the inflection and conviction, which adds a whole other layer of hilarity. But, he is pretty good at shutting down shenanigans as soon as he sees me train a camera or phone on him.
• "O-B-E!" — I have a theory that there must be some song they sing at school where they spell out the word "obey," which is delightfully Orwellian.
• "Are you OK? I'm OK." — To people or toys, whenever they might have gotten bumped or jostled.
• "I can't like it." — Not I don't like it, but I can't like it.
• "The number B!" — He sometimes calls letters numbers and numbers letters, even though he knows all his letters and many numbers backward and forward.
• "Scoot that booty!" — For scooting out of chairs or down stairs.
• "That's enough!" — For times when he is tired of your drama.
• "ROOOOAAAARRRR!!" — Used when we read books about lions, tigers, sharks or snakes, and used to scare the bejesus out of strangers at restaurants or grocery stores.
• "That is soooo sad." — Proclaimed when he sees pictures of people or animals not looking very happy, or when we pretend to scare off monsters and lions.
• "Come back here!" — To be said to someone who is walking away in his view prematurely, or to poop making a getaway down the toilet.
• "Wait on meeeee!" — To be wailed to any parent figure who might take two steps away from him when he's feeling like an integral part of the mission.
• "Put it in your pocket!" — About your mobile device when he wants your undivided attention.
• "Stop it, mama!" This is usually accompanied by a threatening finger point, followed by a time-out, because oh hell no.

Mary Ellen "May" Kitchen, 86, passed away peacefully on Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012, in Hinckley, Utah. Services are pending, and will be held on Thursday, Dec. 6. Owens Mortuary is handling the arrangements. Interment will be in Snowflake.
She was born Feb. 25, 1926, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to John and Agnes Black, the youngest of five children.
May married Walter Kitchen of Newlyn, Cornwall, England, on Sept. 26, 1946, and they had four chil-dren: Eileen (deceased), Walter, Gladys "Glitchen" and David.
In 1963, May and Wally joined the LDS church in Belfast, and were later sealed in the London temple. They settled in Snowflake in 1968, where they endeared themselves to all with their cheery, "Hello, love!" Wally passed away in 1981. Their long-awaited reunion will be sweet.
May loved working in retail and visiting with everyone in town. She especially loved serving the Young Women and teaching her "Primary boys." May served as a stake missionary in Belfast, two GSU missions in England and Scotland, wrote to many missionaries and made friends wherever she went.
She leaves a legacy of faith and love to her children Walter and Mary Kitchen of Dundalk, Ireland, Gladys "Glitchen" and Bill Shumway of Hinckley, and David and Pam Kitchen of Charlotte, N.C.; 11 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, please contribute to the LDS Missionary Fund.

A combined electrostatic force and conductive atomic force microscopy study on single-crystalline ferroelectric HoMnO3 recently was published by users from Rutgers University and Chung-Ang University in South Korea, working collaboratively with the Electronic & Magnetic Materials & Devices Group at the Argonne National Laboratory.
By comparing data obtained at the same sample location but at different temperatures — below and above charge carrier freezing — the local Schottky-like rectification effect at the tip-surface junction was shown to be modulated by ferroelectric polarization.
Additionally, the crossover to a space-charge limited conduction mechanism at higher voltages in the conductance spectra for both up and down domains was demonstrated.
These new results reveal an intriguing interplay between electronic properties and ferroelectric polarization, and point to the possibility of multiferroic electronics with ferroelectric, magnetic, and charge transport multifunctionality in small band-gap multiferroics.

Style: Lifting heavy stuff--Yeah but i train at a very recreational club. Ive started training at a more competitive club and theres a huge difference in the way they teach, they break down the techniques and correct my bad habits unlike the rec club where a technique is taught as one whole movement and theres no explaination on what the arms should be doing or the correct body positioning etc.
Its a massive culture shock, the rec club is very laid back theres alot of chatting and discussion where as at the bigger club its train, train, train, which is better cos i want to get better at judo its just all very different at the moment lol, Felt like i was starting judo all over again. But its given me alot more motivation to train harder and become more serious about my judo.Last edited by adskibullus; 8/14/2011 2:05am at .
Post crap like this again in the technique fora and I'll give you an infraction for it. Do it a third time and I'll ban you from them altogether.
The technique areas are not like YMAS or Trollshido. Members are required to discuss the technique in the OP in EVERY POST. Off topic or low content posts ( for example, "Gee, that's a great Tomoe Nage") are not permissible.
Certain posters, like Omega, Sambosteve, Whiteshark, BKR and judoka_uk are given latitude because they earned it. They did this by either being very knowledgeable and experienced or by producing a ton of high quality content in the technique fora like judoka_uk.
However, this latitude does not apply to the vast majority of you. Those who have it, know it. So don't go thinking you're one of the chosen few. You're not.Shut the hell up and train. -

Return to Course Catalog
An exploration of the past and future agenda of progressives, whether self-described as liberals or as leftists. What should they propose, now that they no longer believe in the usefulness of governmental direction of the economy or in the sufficiency of redistributive social programs? A basic concern is the relation of programmatic thought to the understanding of change and constraint.
The course will draw on many disciplines and consider examples from many settings. It will try to develop ways of thinking as well as proposals for change. Readings from classic and contemporary social and political theory.
Extended take-home examination.
Note: This course is jointly-listed with FAS as Government 1092.

A series of picaresque adventures set against the backdrop of a Japan still closed off from the rest of the world, Musui's Story recounts the escapades of samurai Katsu Kokichi. As it depicts Katsu
This charming book...portrays Tokugawa society as it was actually lived, instead of as it was portrayed in moralizing tracts and governmental ordinances. Attractively translated by Teruko Craig, it depicts the life of a man born into a family with the hereditary privilege of audience with the shogun, yet he shamelessly consorted with the riffraff of Edo, ran a protection racket, lied, cheated, and stole....Craig is to be commended for the felicity of her translation and for her clear presentation of a complex social order in the Introduction....Anyone interested in Japanese history and society or in how people interact with each other in whatever age or place will enjoy reading this book.
Monumenta Nipponica Musui's StoryTells the life of Katsu Kokichi, a samurai on the lower fringe of his class who gave up the aspirations expected of him to mix with the scruffier elements of the Edo streets. . . . Teruko Craig has my applause for selecting what may be a unique document, translating it so gracefully, and supplying it with an informative introduction and annotation. . . . Enjoyable reading.

This valuable translation provides many insights into Japanese life. . . . Teruko Craig is to be commended on the vivid picture of this slice of Tokugawa life.

A delightful little book. . . . And is one of those one sit cover-to-cover reads.
American Asian Review
Fruit from an esoteric branch of literature to be sure, but also a colorful, involving glimpse of the gritty side of a distinctly foreign culture.
Kirkus Reviews
stealing, brawling, indulging in the pleasure quarters, and getting the better of authorities, it also provides a refreshing perspective on Japanese society, customs, economy, and human relationships. From childhood Katsu was given to mischief. He ran away from home, once at thirteen, making his way as a beggar on the great trunk road between Edo and Kyoto, and again at twenty, posing as the emissary of a feudal lord. He eventually married and had children but never obtained official preferment and was forced to supplement a meager stipend by dealing in swords, selling protection to shopkeepers, and generally using his muscle and wits. Katsu's descriptions of loyalty and kindness, greed and deception, vanity and superstition offer an intimate view of daily life in nineteenth-century Japan unavailable in standard history books. Musui's Story will delight not only students of Japan's past but also general readers who will be entranced by Katsu's candor and boundless zest for life.

Only 5 percent of all MS compounds that entered clinical trials in 1995 or later won FDA approval—that's significantly less than the industry average of 12 percent.

How to Prepare Lemongrass for Cooking
Unlocking lemongrass's potent essence from its tough stalk takes a little doing, but it's worth it. A quick bit of knife work exposes the tender core. Check out the slideshow about for a step-by-step process.
Using the back of a knife (or a rolling pin) whack the entire length of the stalk to help release the oils.

Norm's thesis emerging from his comprehensive and wide spectrum search for the role of values in science has given him both a history and experience with science of physics, information theory, logic, metaphysics and philosophy as well as mathematics and axiology that give him a perspective grounding from which he can leap, make quantum leaps into the unknown and feel at home – he shares here knowledge of this shifting reality from materialism to organism.
Skye brings her empirical experience of using the emerging insights in coaching, healing, learning, of meeting with people up close and personal. In this interchange, new world- views emerge out of the uniqueness of this intersection, healing and becoming true to ones own nature becomes more fully realized. Skye tells her story of life with Norm and their learning and loving together on this journey of discovery.
The Phenomenon of Life and What are Possibilities and What it Requires of Us |
A dominant consciousness that's been with us for over 2500 years is shifting. A fundamentally new worldview is emerging. It demands new ways of knowing. A time of such fundamental shifts bring possibilities as well as confusion. Now new discoveries are revealing the arena we live in to be a living organism. Indeed it appears the cosmos is a living organism. A new understanding of what life is and the organizing principles in life are being revealed during the past two decades as never before. Ironically, as humans, it seems we have much to learn about what it means to be alive because a majority of effort by humanity has gone into learning more about things, technology and matter, not life-itself.The current reality change is making a transition from a rigid, mechanistic, and materialistic worldview to one that is built on a foundation of interconnectedness, cooperation, and the intersection of science and spirituality. What used to work no longer will. We can find evidence everywhere. Scientific materialism has dominated every fabric of our existence so much so that few people today even know that is was a philosophical metaphysical choice so many years ago (at least 2500) that took science in the direction it has. Unfortunately, today, the nature of science has been totally lost. We need to restore real science to provide help for us now in confusing times. Read on the full thesis of Cosmology as Life Process here and let's get talking. Introduction to Cosmology as Life Process by Norm Hirst The current paradigm change is making a transition from a rigid, mechanistic, and materialistic worldview to one that is built on a foundation of interconnectedness, cooperation, and the intersection of science and spirituality. What used to work no longer will. We can find evidence everywhere. Without awareness and meaning, consciousness becomes a random thought and sound-bite generator. Living entities can initiate acts. In acting they add an uncontrollable quality that cannot be calculated through any physical laws of force. Living entities do not passively await an external force to do something. For life there is no cause and effect. No determinism. Life is wholistic from bottom to top. Using reductionism destroys knowledge of our living organization and how best to work with it; the very aspect we should be trying to understand. So a shift in the consciousness that's been with us for 25 centuries is occurring. It demands new ways of knowing. A time of such fundamental shifts bring possibilities as well as confusion. Now new discoveries are revealing the arena we live in to be a living organism. Indeed it appears the cosmos is a living organism. In structure, an organism may appear to have many parts, but in process and function organism consists of societies of actors, acting on the basis of communication and coordination with all that organism's societies and actors. Thus organisms function as a single holism. A new understanding of what life is and the organizing principles in life are being revealed during the past two decades as never before. Living entities are self-creating. They are autopoietic. A self-knowing process creates them. Ironically, as humans, it seems we have much to learn about what it means to be alive because a majority of effort by humanity has gone into learning more about things, technology and matter, not life-itself. Scientific materialism has dominated every fabric of our existence so much so that few people today even know that it was a philosophical, metaphysical choice so many years ago (at least 2500 years) that took science in the direction it has. Unfortunately, today, the nature of science has been totally lost. I've learned that today's philosophy has lost the analytic and synthetic, an unfortunate regression. The practice of science has been thoroughly corrupted by greedy sponsors who suppress scientists from speaking truth. I hate to mention science; but we do need to restore real science to provide help for us now in confusing times. In the old paradigm of scientific materialism is the belief that we exist as material beings in a material world, all of whose phenomena are the consequences of material relations among material entities caught in a life destroying trap. From that perspective, as we explore the arena we live in and try to make sense of it, all we can assume is matter is senseless, valueless, and purposeless. There has been no room for understanding values beyond thinking of them as Sunday-School virtues. In the new paradigm conscious awareness of value processes become essential to the way living entities choose their acts and assert their will. Since, as yet, we do not have sufficient understanding of the role of value processes we think force makes sense. Politicians stand up and promise to be tough. This is just futile posturing because under the heading "tough" there is nothing they can do that doesn't exacerbate the problem they are trying to solve. Where life cannot find ways to fulfill itself, results will be abhorrent, unhealthy work-arounds. If subverted long enough, violence is inevitable. Life will not be controlled by any degree of force. Unfortunately, given a materialistic meta-physics, scientific explorers have been limited to a minor territory, the domain of the physical/non-living. But the technology produced by materialism has enabled us to see life-itself in process for the first time. Now, a great deal more of reality can be seen. However, with this new capacity, it becomes clear that the diminished perspective of materialism is destroying life. We must quickly create a philosophy and science for the 21st Century. The dominant Western worldview has no room for life! It is a world focused on nonliving matter governed by laws that require force. It is a view of mechanisms, cause and effect, and determinism. Can all those deterministic forces possibly account for our experience? Is there anyway to combine them all together in such a way as to produce what we experience? Simply, no. There is no way. So biologists explain that it's "random processes" and survival of the fittest. There is no chance in hell that random processes can produce what we have in our experience; nor produce us for that matter. Life charged with creating novelty under conditions of great co-intelligence can create life and evolution. But scientific materialism has provided technology by which the internal workings of living organisms can be observed as they live. But -- how living organisms work is unlike anything ever imagined! As we learn how living entities function, it turns out that it is nothing like we thought. Living entities are not machines, nor machine-like. Their workings are not subject to cause and effect, and they are not carrying out calculations. Living entities are capable of initiating their own acts based on values. They live in societies that give them maximum freedom within coherence conditions required by life. That is true even in the cells in our bodies. It is true of the molecules in cells, and, in nature. It is true of us on the living earth. Reality is not just rocks with accidental creation of life as epiphenomena here on earth. Life itself is fundamental. In the last three decades there have been scientific discoveries that materialism cannot a account for. I mean laboratory discoveries that cannot happen if the materialism view is correct. Outside of certain scientific circles, such as some biophysicists, they are unknown. Though I often find people are not surprised when I speak of them. A change of consciousness is happening. In 1947 Schrodinger wrote his book, "What is Life," in which he said living organisms are not subjected to entropy. It is clear today that they are not. Entropy represents a loss of order. Living organisms create order. In life, value processes replace cause and effect; it makes such a difference that living processes can increase order, thus living entities are not subject to the second law of thermodynamics. Biology had tried to become scientific by adopting the protocols of physics. These conformed to materialism, cause and effect, and reductionism. But the living process is made up of totally interconnected and interactive organisms. An organism is a focus for coherent acts. Life requires coherence laws, not control. The coherence conditions are just now being discovered beginning with quantum coherence. Living organisms learn by acts of inquiry. Acts of inquiry are based on what reason provides. When we reason, there are necessary starting assumptions that drive how we inquire. They are metaphysical assumptions. We require drastic changes in metaphysics based on process, not matter. Matter isn't fundamental, energy is. Physicists have discovered the Dirac Sea; zero point energy that fills all of what we thought was empty space. The physicist, P. A. M. Dirac, made a change to Schrödinger's quantum equations that lead to discovery of this pervasive energy; thus it is named the Dirac Sea. Much of fundamental reality occurs in the Dirac Sea from which it becomes manifest in our space-time of material. Rather than matter being fundamental, energy flows in the Sea of Dirac are fundamental. The reality underlying quantum theory is a living organism. That is why quantum theory is so difficult to interpret. The dynamics of those energy flows are, I believe, the dynamics of life. The energy flows manifest matter and living entities. All life is one, a living organism. Due to its connectedness we have primary unmediated experience. Actually living entities is a broader category then we previously knew. For example, our bodies are composed of cells that contain molecules. Traditional biology claimed that the molecules were just jostled about; occasionally two would collide and their shapes were such that they would lock together. Now it is known that the molecules are emitting signals. They are "singing" to find one another. To be alive is to be able to act. There is nothing in our history of ideas, whether philosophical or scientific, that deals with living self-acting entities. Everything in our philosophy and science is an attempt to imitate life with non-living entities not capable of action. We will talk about life as energies within the electronics nature of living organisms; mysteries - such as how can bodies of so many parts be holistic? The answer is: the living processes within it are holistic. The living processes within it are "metastable" and constantly have to be maintained by energy. If the living processes are gone, all that's left is hardware. What is coming out in today's research requires understanding how living processes are free to act and combine in societal unities. It is life itself that produces evolution, not random processes or survival of the fittest. Life evolves based on values, which requires an awareness of the holism. At all the levels mentioned above, living entities are choosing acts based on values characteristic of their level. That the molecules in cells are living is contrary to what biologists have traditionally thought. Now laboratory evidence shows signals and behavior indicating that they are living and acting. In life, valuation processes are pervasive.
We have lived with materialism too long to remember the qualities of life. It seems to me that many are trying to live as if they are machines; we are not well suited to being robots. It is the adventure of living fully that gives life meaning.

Alles leben is gelebt. I thin it translates as "All that lives is living."
Perhaps it says more than that. "gelebt" might mean "is lived through."

Hours:Tues, Wed & FriThursSaturday & SundayMondays & holidays
Admission:MembersChildren(12 & under)AdultsSeniors(65 +)Students(with ID)
1st SUNDAY of each month
Helena Rubinstein (1872-1965) was born in Poland and immigrated – via Australia and Paris – to New York at the beginning of World War I. She then opened her first U.S. salon featuring her face cream made from lanolin and revolutionized the cosmetics industry. She sold her corporation to Lehman Brothers in 1928 but repurchased the stock and went on to open her acclaimed spa on Fifth Avenue along with salons across the country, and the manufacturing arm.
A collector of people and art, she commissioned Salvador Dalí to design packaging for her compacts and to paint her portrait. He was not the only one to paint Ms. Rubinstein, and this show includes portraits by Picasso, Man Ray, and Warhol.
Included are paintings by Miró and Chagall, and selections from her fine jewelry and couture clothing collections. Vintage advertisements, photographs of her residences in New York, Paris, and London, and her spas and salons will bring to the fore Ms. Rubinstein as a savvy businessperson and cultural icon.
Helena Rubinstein: Beauty Is Power is organized by the Jewish Museum, New York.
The exhibition is made possible by The Jerome L. Greene Foundation.
Shannon Plumb's solo exhibition of short videos and Super-8 films is inspired by the spirit of slapstick comedy and the physical humor of iconic silent screen legends such as Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Plumb creates and plays a diverse cast of characters such as Olympic athletes, cowboys, and advertising announcers, employing a low-fi asthetic with long takes and hand-made props and costumes.
Curated by Kathleen Goncharov, Boca Raton Museum of Art.
Israeli-born, New York based artist, Izhar Patkin, fills the Museum's gallery space with spectacular mural-size paintings on tulle fabric.
Grand, labyrinthine, yet surprisingly intimate the space is resplendent with personal narrative, political metaphor, and myth emphasizing memory, loss, love, and exile.
Writing about art can be as fun as making it. The Museum's partnership with Hammock Pointe Elementary takes a new twist with a new, fully integrated curriculum-based project for third graders centered on ekphrasis, a technique of writing vivid descriptions of art. On display is the students' portraits and written work.
The next installment of the Boca Raton Museum of Art's Making Connections: Selected Works from the Boca Raton Museum and Private Collections will include the in-focus exhibition: Abstraction on Paper. Delving into the Museum's rich collection of works on paper, and featuring significant loans from generous members of the community, the exhibition presents a variety of media by American and European artists from the 1920s thru the 1950s. Superb works by American Abstract Artists Balcomb Greene, Gertrude Greene, Blanchs Lazzell, George L.K. Morris and John Sennhauser will mix with the Abstract Expressionist style of Mary Abbott, William Baziotes, Franz Kline and Richard Pousette-Dart and other Modernists such as Alexander Calder and Wassily Kandinsky. While all 20 works were created on paper, the media ranges from ink, gouache, pencil, watercolor to etching and drypoint.
Curated by Marisa J Pascucci, Curator of Collections.
This Color is Great by Renata Stih and Frieder Schnock
Stih & Schnock are Berlin-based visual artists who introduce art in public spaces thereby affecting everyday life.
In this work, the artists have used the common expression of a woman's lips and what she might be saying in contrast to what she is actually thinking. This is the first in a series of artist-commissioned banners along the Amphitheater colonnade that dramatically changes a familiar path as the visitor approaches the Museum.
The Pursuit of Happiness by Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt
Behar and Marquardt, who established R&R Studios in Miami, have a multidisciplinary architectural practice weaving together visual arts, exhibition design, architecture, and urban design. They have been commissioned to rethink the entry into the Museum along the colonnade, providing a new pathway that is at once intimate and monumental. Their installation incorporates multi-colored ribbons in the interior gallery windows, draping the space making it both public and private by way of the sensual sway of vivid colors.
As part of this project, R&R Studios has redesigned the Museum Store, which stands as the "cornerstone" of the Museum, the first space the visitor sees upon entering the building where the colonnade and the courtyard intersect. The Store is scheduled to open to the public on November 1, 2014. Vincent Tom is the Store's merchandiser and will feature one of a kind and limited edition works for sale by local, national, and international artists and artisans along with exhibition-specific merchandise, trunk shows, and author events.
The Boca Museum of Art's internationally recognized (and ever-growing) Permanent Collection includes over 5,000 works of art and is featured throughout the building and sculpture garden.
With strong holdings in late 19th and 20th century European and American prints, drawings, painting, sculpture, and photography, the Museum strives to present key examples of Modernism as well as non-western art and artifacts in our African and Pre-Columbian collections.

Jury Rules "Not Guilty" In Trial Of Former Albuquerque Police Officer Charged With Killing Wife
Jurors have reached a not guilty verdict in the trial of a former Albuquerque police officer charged with killing his estranged wife. Leaving the courtroom, Levi Chavez told reporters, "I'm not surprised at all. I'm not guilty. I'm innocent."
Prosecutors say the 32-year-old Chavez killed 26-year-old Tera Chavez with his department-issued gun in October 2007 and tried to make her death look like a suicide.
Chavez's attorney says Tera Chavez took her own life because of her volatile marriage and a crumbling affair.
Chavez acknowledged having a string of mistresses, searching a website on how to kill someone with martial arts moves and ignoring his wife's calls for help. He denied killing her.
The jury of nine women and three men was just a few hours into their second day of deliberations on Tuesday when they signaled they had reached a consensus.

Day 14
There are mornings, and then there are mornings you will never forget. The temperature had dropped to -6º C (21º F) and I tried to keep warm as I crawled from my tent. Daniel and I were up at the same time and we both sat there, silent, in awe, as we sipped coffee and took in the amazing scenery. No picture will do it justice, no words can really describe it. Have a click on the photo for a larger view of what we woke up to. The three of us struggled to get packed up and ready for the day. Every few moments we would stop for air as the 4400 meters (14,435 feet) of elevation quickly took our breath away. As soon as it was back, a glimpse of the magnificent scenery would just take it away again. We finally got our bikes packed up and headed off to find breakfast. We had two days left to make it to Chengdu, and it was decided that G318 was not the way to end such a fine trip. I plotted a route north to Danba and then east on S303 to avoid G317 and G318. 600 kilometers (373 miles) in two days should be a piece of cake, right? A quick 1000 meter (3,280 ft) descent to Xinduqiao brought us to the junction of S215. It was nice to get off of G318 and the road started out in very good condition. Tiny farms and villages dotted the landscape. The bikes were running much better at 3500 meters (11,482 ft) and the sunshine was warming us up. Another 25 kilometers down the road and we hit construction, the rest of the morning we pretty much stayed on dirt. Fortunately, most of the commercial vehicles use other roads and we experienced very little traffic. A brief stop in Tagong to regroup and have a look at some of the buildings. You can see an interesting blend of Han and Tibetan influence in the architecture. Heading out of town we passed the Muya golden pagoda. Over 100 kg (220 lbs) of pure gold covers the building to commemorate the 10th Panchen Lama. Since the 10th Panchen Lama received his title from the National People's Congress (Chinese government), you will usually see his picture being displayed at religious centers instead of "the other Lama". Horses waiting for tourists. Daniel in front of Mount Yala's 5,800 meter peak. Somewhere along S215 I stopped to enjoy a powerbar and the quiet solitude of the grasslands. Climbing into the mountains again and the bikes were losing power. We could almost guess the elevation just by listening to the engine struggle with the lean condition. Another view of Mount Yala, this time from the western side. Between Bamei and Danba, S303 was just magnificent. As we descended down the mountains, a whitewater river roared along side us and every corner just kept getting better and better. The deeper we went into the canyons, the more lush the vegetation became. And the faster the river would run. We had been in Sichuan for the last six days, but mostly in the Tibetan part of the province. Now we were making our way back into the Han areas and more and more villages were populating the hillsides. We reached the small town of Xiaojin at 5:15 and had to stop for the day. We were 50 kilometers short of where we wanted to be, but we just weren't sure if we would find another place to sleep further up the road. A light rain started to fall and that pretty much sealed the deal. We found a dumpy little hotel with indoor parking and called it an early night so we could make up time the next morning. We all slept soundly knowing the traffcpouce was across the street keeping us safe. Cheers!

Awesome report. I've been to the Tibetan areas of Sichuan, but not on a bike. I have to do China on a bike one of these days. Photos are great, but they just scracth the surface of the whole experience. BTW, in one Tibetan village, we just knocked on a random door and asked the lady to cook for us for money and she whipped us up a killer lunch. Although she agreed to take money when we asked her to cook, she refused when we were done eating. Still gave her some money. Yak sausage is pretty good, even when you're not starving.

Day 15
The Final Day - What a long strange trip it's been. It was an early 7:00 start for the last day of our most excellent adventure. We were roughly 300 kilometers outside of Chengdu, and had one last mountain pass we needed to summit before our final descent into the city. It rained hard the night before and there was a bit of a chill in the morning air. The roads were covered in slippery mud, so progress was slow. One hour in, we had only covered about 40 kilometers as we stopped for a picture by this interesting little town. I mentioned it was going to be another long day, we all just grinned. We passed Dawei and began our ascent into the mountains. Daniel went by and that was the last I saw of him until the other side of the mountain range. A few moments later, Felix ripped past and I managed a shot as I fumbled with my heavier gloves. I looked down at the town of Dawei through the mist and thought, damn, this is going to be an interesting 2000 meter (6,561ft) climb. And climb we did. A half hour later, I found Felix on the side of the road shivering and mumbling something about only having a t-shirt on underneath his gear. He decided that the dead cow lying frozen on the ground might be a sign it was time for some warmer clothing. I snapped a pic and moved on, pondering what people might think passing Felix in his underwear next to a dead cow. Higher and higher, colder and colder. At this point I could barely feel my fingers and I stopped every ten minutes to grab hold of the engine and let some heat sink in. I couldn't believe we were riding in snow. Fortunately, there was construction traffic grinding the snow into a slushy mud mix. This provided just enough traction for moments of bravery during acceleration, yet sheer terror whenever applying the brakes. The wind was howling across the peaks of the mountain, and every few minutes you could catch a glimpse of blue sky through the clouds. I finally reached the summit at 4500 meters (14,763ft) and stopped for a little break. I never expected we would be on this kind of terrain only 180 kilometers from Chengdu. A few minutes later along came Felix. Shit man, this is awesome… cold, but awesome. The weather continued to tease us with brief stints of sunshine followed by heavy, thick fog. Each passing cloud made the temperature drop from a balmy 0ºC to -5ºC almost instantly. The scene looking over the other side of the pass. It's all downhill from here to Chengdu. On the eastern side of the mountains we had much less cloud cover and were finally rewarded with some magnificent views. And eventually discovered Daniel on the side of the road warming up in the sunshine. We also met a Chinese biker who was waiting for his friend to catch up while on their way to Tibet. We swapped a few stories and shared intel on the upcoming road conditions. Check out his Yamaha YBR125. I couldn't believe he had so much stuff on such a little motorcycle. We headed off and enjoyed about 25 kilometers of beautiful twisty blacktop. Daniel tearing up a corner. With Felix in hot pursuit. Felix enjoying the good life. We had almost forgotten what riding on regular pavement was like. Around noon we stopped for lunch and Felix found a new friend. Our usual feed of rice, oily vegetables, oily animal carcass with little or no meat, and egg mixed with tomato. Six days of Sichuan cuisine and you basically shit lava every day. Fantastic if you're really into spicy food, torture if you're not. Our good friend on the YBR125 warned us that we were going to hit some rough spots ahead and we all just laughed. He wasn't kidding. The flatbed truck in front of us was actually sliding backwards and you can see the huge jam behind him. What you can't see is the power line hanging in the deep mud puddle near the orange truck with the open door. Daniel surprised us as he took off passing the flatbed with all of six inches to spare between the truck and the cliff. He just squeaked by, and then managed to hold the power line down with his foot while crossing the mud puddle. I looked at Felix, shrugged and then we went for it. People were shouting for us not to go and horns were beeping as Felix practically tore his saddle bag off passing the flatbed. Somehow we managed to make it, this didn't make one of the cops stuck in the traffic jam very happy and he tried to flag us down. We took off and stopped a few moments later to fix the saddlebag. That was exhilarating. I imagine they're still trying to sort that traffic jam out. We continued on our way and the road gave us a good beating with trucks and construction obstacles at every turn. We were now in Wenchuan County, the hardest hit area during the 2008 Sichuan earthquake that claimed over 68,000 lives. There's been a lot of progress rebuilding over the past two years as a result of massive government funding and the strong will of the Chinese people. Total respect for all they have accomplished and deep sorrow for the loss of life and destruction. In the late afternoon we finally made it to good roads again and stopped about 40 kilometers outside of Chengdu. We would be making contact with a friend of a friend to arrange shipping our bikes home and we felt a little guilty about handing them over completely covered in China, so we found a small car wash and gave them all a good bath. The last 40 Kilometers were a tedious maze of construction and chaos. Like most of China's big cities, Chengdu is upgrading all of the major transportation routes and my navigation and GPS skills were now over their limit. Somehow we managed to find the neighborhood CrazyCarl used to live in and we checked into the Ibis hotel at almost 7:00. The only thing we cared about was finding Peter's Tex Mex on TongZiLin Dong Lu for some frozen margaritas, cold beer and delicious food. We sat there for hours reliving little details of the last 15 days and many glasses were lifted over our safe arrival. It was mind numbing to think that just 7 hours ago we were freezing our buts off in snow covered mountains and now we were sweating in the summer heat of the city. So… there you have it...The End...I think the rewards far outweighed the punishment. I will add one more post with the final route data, GPS tracks, etc this weekend. Hope you all enjoyed our little trip and thanks for coming along via this excellent forum. Cheers!

Here are some numbers for anyone contemplating this kind of ride.
I didn't really keep track of our daily costs, but I don't think we averaged more than 250 Yuan ($37.00 USD) per day in food, gas and lodging. Galaxy XTR250 motorcycle, including complete paperwork and 13.5 liter tank. = 14,000 Yuan ($2070 USD) Extra Parts including seat, luggage racks, drivetrain components, handlebars, handguards etc. = 2,500 Yuan ($370 USD) +1,300 Yuan ($190 USD) for the fancy hard cases. About 12 hours per bike in pre trip maintenance. There were almost no problems with the bikes during the whole trip, only one issue was a manufacturing flaw. #1 All three of the bikes developed problems with the kickstands, although none of them broke, parking and loading always required careful attention. Galaxy needs to improve the mounting tab on the kickstands. #2 Felix had a loose coil wire and some spooge in his carburetor. These problems were not related to manufacturing and they were easy fixes that didn't require parts. #3 If I was headed up above 3500 meters again, I would like to figure out a better mixture for the carburetors. #4 We carried a giant can of chain lube and hit them regularly. The high end chains I purchased in Hong Kong really paid off and we only performed one chain adjustment during the entire trip. Don't risk your trip on a Chinese chain. Bring your own chain and lube as you will never find good ones here. #5 Because Daniels bike was new, and Felix had a new motor, we all started the trip with PJ1 Silverfire 20W50 (non synthetic) oil. When we reached Panzihua, we changed to Motul 15W40 synthetic. Fuel: We purchased 93 octane at all of the stations. Cruising Range: 350 Kilometers (217 miles) average distance between fill ups. Price: Low 6.64 Yuan Per liter / High 6.84 Yuan Per Liter (Roughly 3.70 USD Per Gallon) Average Consumption 28 Kilometers Per Liter (67 Miles Per Gallon) Total Photos Taken = 2020 I carried my 13" MacBook Pro and we downloaded every couple days. 243 of the pictures made it into the ride report. I tried to balance out scenery with bike pics and some were just thrown in as part of the story line. Daniel took a lot of HD video and I had a CountourHD helmet cam that died after day 5. For GPS tracking data, I carried the QStartz SRQ2100. For navigation, I used the HTC TouchHD mobile phone running Google Maps enclosed in a waterproof Otterbox case. The chart bellow gives a good idea of what you can expect traveling in China on small bikes. Note: On Day 5 I didn't run the GPS while trucking my crashed bike to Kunming (Daniel & Felix did ride bikes). Day 6 was the repair day in Kunming, so no data. 135 hours of riding, 4010 kilometers covered, the average moving speed was about 52 kph. I have 35,000 kilometers of China riding on my V-Strom and the average moving speed is only 64 kph, so a bigger bike is not going to get you that much further in a day if you're riding in the mountains. I will post the GPS tracks tomorrow. Cheers! ChinaV |

Kentucky State Police launching 'Text a Tip'
The Kentucky State Police recently kicked off a new crime-fighting program that is literally at the public's fingertips.
The program is called "Text a Tip" and allows people to provide police with confidential information through text messaging.
"Text a Tip is designed to report criminal activity, assist with neighborhood watches and serve as an additional resource for schools and college campuses," officials said.
The state police said anyone with texting capabilities can simply text 67283 in the address field, then type KSPTIP in the message field. People should then leave a space and then enter the information about the crime.
If a tip has been sent successfully, people will receive an instant confirmation text on their phone.
"I think this is a really good way of grabbing those who have information (about crimes) but want to stay out of criminal proceedings," said Trooper Corey King, public information officer with Post 16 in Henderson.
Text a Tip messages are sent to a separate, third-party server which strips identifying information from the message. The texts are then assigned an encrypted alias before being sent to the state police.
The process, King said, "is instantaneous. The company, the third party, does this in seconds."
"People in a large venue ... can text police without others knowing what they're doing," King said.
"This is a way to get good quality information on investigations, maybe even cold cases" from people who otherwise wouldn't get involved, he said.

Subsequently charged with forging documents and abusing his authority, Grueninger was sentenced to loss of employment, a heavy fine, and forfeiture of all retirement and severance payments. He never found another suitable job, and was subjected to a smear campaign alleging that he demanded money or sexual favors in exchange for letting Jews into Switzerland.
