Europe 2012 Maritime Alps ans Vosges
Well another adventure in the books. Two+ weeks playing in the Maritime Alps, the Vosges, with a little of the Black forest thrown in for good Measure. This year we were back on a tour with Beachs Motorcycle Adventures http://www.beachs-mca.com/ , on their Alpine West tour.
We arrived in Zurich a couple days early, and spent some time wandering around town, We were going to get some early riding in, but persistent rain would have taken some of the fun out of the corners, so we laid low, and spent some time wandering around the old town.
We stayed in the old town, so lots of shops and variety of restaurants to keep us occupied.
View from our room.
Saturday Night on the square
Weekends saw a lot of partying, and as almost no hotels have AC, windows stay open, so earplugs were handy for a good nights sleep.
Altstadt (Old Town) Zurich, like many of the European Old town is just amazing, building that were built before Columbus sailed to America! And churches with Majestic clock towers everywhere.
A 2 wheel culture for sure, it is great because most drivers started on 2 wheels so they have a respect for them, that you dont get in North America.

On to the riding part of the trip.
Here is my GPS tracks and elevation profile from the trip. Rode most of the high passes in the Alps, included the Assietta Kammstrasse, a 30 km dirt trail that follows a ridge and traverses several Cols. I have to say it is the most beautiful ride in the Alps, everywhere you turn, gorgeous scenery.
Also found a little road with 30 switchbacks in less than 5km! 2/3 of the Stelvio without traffic and the rough pavement!

Monday was time to ride, and mother nature cooperated, it was overcast an hazy, but the moisture stayed in the sky. First day is a loop day, returning to Zurich.
The wife and I decided to take the long route, meandering small roads and up and over a small pass in Switzerland.
I know watching videos can sometimes be as exciting as watching paint dry, but they do show the roads better than still pics do so I will link them as I go along.
My steed for the next 2 weeks, not often you call a R1200GS pretty, but I kind of like the looks of this one. Gave it back with about twice the mileage it had when I got it.
Did I say small roads? They offer great views, almost non-existent traffic, and an up close and personal view of the countryside.
Lunch was on the Pragel pass, my first of many bowls of goulash zuppa, a lunch time staple in the Alps. It is a little different in every place, my theory is it is the leftovers, thrown in a tomato base, with some spices, and served with bread. Just right for a light lunch.
Our view from our table on the patio
The low clouds hanging over the eastern side of the pass
As well as some gravel washed on the road, the numerous waterfalls were running from the recent rains.

Tuesday 9/4
Time to hit the road. One of the Advantages of a tour, is no real packing, just leave the suitcase in the lobby, and it magically appears in your room at the next hotel! Saddle bags never came off, all we had to carry was helmets, and the tank bag at night.
We were headed to Kaysersburg for the night, via the Schwarzwald (Black Forest). Weather was again cool, hazy and overcast, but dry.
We headed out of Zurich and were soon into Germany and the Schwarzwald. We rode along taking all the small roads we could find, even though traffic was non-existent on the bigger roads, you just see more, and the small roads have a way of slowing things down, have a more relaxed feel, and that is what vacations are all about .
Just a taste of a small road.
We wandered along, extending the trip to catch as many good roads as we could find.
Stopped for a nice lunch at a place with a lakeside view.
We resumed traveling on, yup more small back roads. We stopped along, check that in the road for a bottle of water and to soak in the countryside. In ½ hour or so we relaxed we had maybe 4 other vehicles go by.
We arrived in Kaysersberg, which is one of our favorite towns in the area, we passed through in 07, and when we went back to the area in 09, we spent 5 nights here. Touristy, yes and no, It is small enough that you dont get the feel of a tourist town, but you do get the variety of shops restaurants, lodging etc. Luckily, for the charge card, we did not get to town until after the shops were closed, so the wife did not have the opportunity to shop
Those that are fans of the Tour De France and historians, we stayed in a Hotel that was run by Roger Hassenforder, a professional cyclist in the 50s and 60s and won several stages of the race, and wore the yellow shirt for a few days in his career.
Rooms were typical small town Europe, well-appointed but small.
A morning walk through town, where I had the streets to myself for the most part. A very picturesque town.

Wednesday 9/5
The route now heads south towards the highest peaks in the Alps, but it will take a few days of playing on some great roads to get there. Todays route took us up the highest peak in the Vosges in France, at 4672 feet, and once part of the Tour De France.
The Vosges are very similar to the Smokys in topography, the roads are plentiful and as good as the best NC roads, with one BIG difference, other vehicles pull over to let you by, and you can pass almost everywhere, with no fear of a ticket. The Europeans assume if you are smart enough to drive, you are smart enough to figure out where it is safe to overtake
The ride on the way up the Grand Ballon.
The GOPRO is a great little camera, but next time I would find a different way to mount it, on rough roads it bounces too much, on a helmet the movement can be distracting, and the sound is not as good, too much wind noise, or if you use the closed back, just muted sound. Music overdubs take away some of the sense of the road.
Col du Bagenelles
Not a lot of pics this day, as it stayed overcast, but stayed dry. This area of France has numerous cemeterys, full of French, German and Americans as the area switched hands numerous times through the years, as recent as WWII. Also some Museums, which we visited, back in 07 and 09, so we did not stop this trip.
At a late morning stop for Cappuccino on top of one of the peaks we arrived as this was leaving.
It would not be my color of choice. There is a lot of strange auto colors in the area, on some very expensive cars, a bunch of flat black, flat OD green and flat browns. They look like they forgot to put the color coat on, after applying primer! Dont get it myself, but to each his own.
Arrived at our next hotel a little late, and had a great view from our room, that is Switzerland on the other side of the valley.

Thursday 9/6
Still under a cool hazy sky, but dry. We started out riding some very small local roads that meandered through wooded areas and pastures. Although the roads can be rough and are not really conducive to spirited riding, they do offer a real view of the region and life off the beaten path.
The wife and I were joined by another rider, I meet in 07, on an Alps tour, and this was his 3rd MC trip in Europe. After stopping to fuel up, I hear the other bike popping and spitting. Immediately I suspected a big Oops, I suspected he filled with Diesel!!
Now this may seem silly and stupid, but in Europe, where most of the cars are diesel, almost all pumps dispense both sans plumb and gasoil there is no color coding, and unlike the US, the nozzles are the same size, names like Shell V-Power, apply to both too. It must be fairly common, because many stations have a BIG metal plate on the back of the handle that says DIESEL!
So I keep moving until I spot a garage, as I know if he stopped, it would by iffy if his bike restarted. We pulled in and looked in the tank, sure enough it smelled a little like diesel, I took out my siphon hose and dipped it in the tank, then put a drop on the warm valve cover where it did NOT evaporate instantly ..sure enough gasoil. He was greeted by a young mechanic and communicated his problem, they had him roll the bike up to one of the bays and the kid showed up with a bucket and 12v pump to drain the tank. He refilled with sans plumb and after grinding the starter for a bit, the bike sputtered spit, popped and finally fired. He asked what he owed them, and they said nothing! He pitched the kid some cash, which he seemed surprised to get, but accepted. All in all just a 45 minute delay and back on the road.
We stopped for a nice lunch along a lake, the fish and soup was good!
Still plagued by overcast and hazy skies that would do the Blue Ridge proud, no picks of the day. I promise I will make up for it as we move along.
Our Hotel was on Lac dAnnecy, purported to be the cleanest lake in the Alps.
Sunset at the Hotel.

Thankyou MASSIVELY for giving the viewer the option of hearing the real time sounds.
Riding's absolutely about being in the atmos of where you are.
I'm enjoying the videos SO much without some lamebrain's idea of 'music' to have to mute!
(I'd like to know specifics about the camera too please)
Wonderful stuff altogether,
good luck!

Pretty Little Liars #7: Heartless
Pretty Little Liars #7: Heartless (Hardcover)
In picturesque Rosewood, Pennsylvania, neighbors gossip over picket fences, and gleaming SUVs sit in every crushed-granite driveway. But recently, friendly smiles have been replaced with suspicious glares and accusatory whispers—and it's all because Hanna, Aria, Emily, and Spencer just can't keep their mouths shut. . . .
First they claimed they found a dead body in the woods behind Spencer's house, only to have it vanish without a trace. Then when the same woods went up in flames, they swore they saw someone who's supposed to be dead rise from the ashes. And even after all that, the pretty little liars are still playing with fire.
Hanna's trading in her Dior trench for a straitjacket. Aria's trying to contact the dead. Emily's dumped her boyfriend and is skipping town . . . again. And Spencer thinks someone in her family has gotten away with murder.
The friends insist they're telling the truth about what they saw, but all of Rosewood thinks they're simply out for attention—and nobody likes a girl who cries wolf. So when the big bad killer comes after the girls, will anyone believe them . . . or will they be the next to disappear?

Pino Silvestre by Silvestre (first time from a sample - thank you S!)
Can you believe I've never smelled this? I like it a lot, although I went easy on the trigger because I wasn't sure it was going to give me a head ache or not. It didn't. Next time I'll apply a bit more. This one easily wears as nice as Blenheim Bouquet, at a fraction of the price. No wonder this ones been around forever. I look forward to wearing it again.

| Tom on designing the Packing Cube Backpack
"I designed the Packing Cube Backpack as a result of customer requests from our forums; in fact, I think it's the first product we've made that was 100% inspired by customer feedback. Many of the details, of course, reflect my design experience, and my sewing crew helped to refine some of the subtleties of the construction. Overall, it was truly a group effort.
We took the prototype on our trip to Alaska and we used it every day: for grocery shopping, for organizing the trunk of the car, even for a day hike in Denali National Park. It's lightweight (only 7 oz / 200 grams), packs down to almost nothing, and yet, because of the Dyneema®/nylon ripstop fabric, tough as nails." —Tom
Made out of our custom-dyed Japanese 200 denier Dyneema®/nylon ultralight ripstop fabric, the Packing Cube Backpack is very lightweight yet tough enough for a lifetime of use for most folks.

Special Provision For
Removal of Concrete Box Girder Bridges
Polk County
October 2, 2001
This item shall consist of removal from the project of all portions of an existing structure, except the portions that may be required or permitted to be left in place. Unless otherwise provided, all structures or parts of structures to be removed shall become the property of the Contractor.
Work shall be performed in accordance with these special provisions, or as directed by the Engineer, and Section 2401 of the Standard Specifications.
The Contractor shall submit a complete bridge removal plan to the Engineer detailing procedures and sequence for removing portions of the bridge, including all features necessary to remove the bridge in a safe and controlled manner. The removal plans, indicating detailed sequences of operations, shall be submitted to the Engineer, at least, thirty (30) calendar days prior to start of removal operations of the existing bridge. The bridge removal plan shall include the following:
- The bridge removal sequence for the entire structure, including staging of bridge removal;
- Equipment locations on the structure during removal operations;
- Temporary support shoring or temporary bracing if required;
- Locations where work is to be performed over traffic; and
- Details and locations of protective covers or other measures to assure that bridge removal will not endanger the public.
The following additional requirements apply to the removal of portions of the existing bridge that are over or adjacent to roadways that may be closed to public traffic for only brief periods of time:
- The closure of roadways to public traffic shall conform to the Traffic Control Plan.
- Prior to closing of a roadway to traffic to accommodate bridge removal operations, the Contractor shall have all necessary workers, materials, and equipment at the site as needed to proceed with the removal work in expeditious manner. While the roadway is closed to public traffic, work shall be pursued promptly and without interruption until the roadway is reopened to public traffic.
- All removal operations shall be performed during periods of time that the roadway is closed to the public traffic except as specified herein for preliminary work.
- Preliminary work shall be limited to operations that will not reduce the structural strength or stability of the bridge, or any element thereof, to a level that in the judgement of the Engineer would constitute a hazard to the public. Such preliminary work shall also be limited to operations that cannot cause debris or any other material to fall onto the roadway. Protective covers may be used to perform preliminary work such as chipping or cutting the superstructure into segments, provided the covers are of sufficient strength to support all loads and are sufficiently tight to prevent dust and fine material from sifting down onto the traveled way. Protective covers shall extend at least 1.2m beyond the limit of the work underway. Bottom slabs of box girders may be considered to be protective covers for preliminary work performed on the top slab inside the limits of the exterior girders.
- Temporary support shoring, temporary bracing, and protective covers shall not encroach closer than 2.4m horizontally from the edge or 4.6m vertically above any traffic lane or shoulder that is open to public traffic.
- During periods when the roadway is closed to public traffic, debris from bridge removal operations may be allowed to fall directly onto the lower roadway provided adequate protection is furnished for all highway facilities. The minimum protection for paved areas shall be a 0.6-m thick earthen pad or a 25-mm thick steel plate placed over the area where debris can fall. Prior to reopening the roadway to public traffic, all debris, protective pads, and devices shall be removed and the roadway swept clean with wet power sweepers or equivalent methods.
- The removal operations shall be conducted in such a manner that the portion of the structure not yet removed remains in a stable condition at all times.
Concrete superstructures may be removed by any means consistent with regulations regarding safety and protection of adjacent property. Where portions of existing substructures lie wholly or in part within limits for a new structure, they shall be removed as necessary to accommodate construction of the proposed structure.
The Contractor shall submit working drawings, with design calculations, to the Engineer for the proposed bridge removal plan. The bridge removal plan shall be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Iowa. The design calculations shall be adequate to demonstrate the stability of the structure during all stages of the removal operations. Calculations shall be provided for each stage of bridge removal and shall include dead and live load values assumed in the design of protective covers. At a minimum, a stage will be considered to be partial removal of the top slab, the sidewalk, or portions of the superstructure, in any span; or bent caps, or columns at support locations.
The Contractor's registered engineer shall be present at all times when bridge susperstructure removal operations are in progress. The Contractor's registered engineer shall inspect the bridge removal operation and the status of the remaining structure. Should an unplanned event occur, the Contractor's registered engineer shall submit immediately to the Engineer for approval, the procedure of operation proposed to correct or remedy the occurrence.
Full compensation for conforming to requirements of this special provision shall be considered as included in the contract lump sum price paid for bridge removal and no additional compensation will be allowed.
Cutting / Shearing: Existing bridge superstructure and pier columns may be reduced into smaller sections to allow for partial removal. Smaller sections may be lifted by cranes or dropped on the pavement below provided that all the requirements of this Special Provision are met.
Blasting: The Contractor may be permitted to use explosive provided the requirements outlined in this Special Provision are satisfied.
Other Approved Methods
The following requirements shall apply:
- Pre-blast Crack and Damage Survey
The Contractor shall arrange with property owners affected by the project the rights-of-entry to their properties in order to engage in a pre-blast and post-blast property damage survey. The locations of the affected properties are included in the estimate reference information of the bridge plans. The Contractor shall submit written reports to the Iowa DOT District 1 Engineer to confirm a visual investigation of the buildings on these properties.
Investigation Methods
The investigation shall consist of visually inspecting and recording all existing defects in the structures. The structures shall be thoroughly inspected from top to bottom, inside and out. The report shall include names of inspectors, date of inspections, and descriptions and locations of defects. In addition, the Contractor shall mark existing cracks in such a way that future observations would indicate whether cracks continue to open or spread. Photographs shall be used in verifying written descriptions of damaged areas. The Contractor shall arrange for professional photography capable of producing sharp, grain-free, high-contrast pictures with good shadow details for construction monitoring at the properties.
Before any blasting operations for demolition, the Contractor shall have record photographs taken of the portions of all the buildings affected by the proposed bridge demolition.
Photographs shall be taken and developed so that details of the buildings will be clear and well defined. The intent is to procure a record of the general physical condition of the buildings' exterior walls and foundations. Camera location shall be changed for each of the photographs and shall be varied so that all portions of the buildings' exterior surfaces will be covered by the view.
Each photograph shall contain the following information:
I-235, Polk County
View __________________________
Looking _______________________
Date __________________________
Photographer __________________
Photographs shall be eight by ten inches, black and white glossy, mounted on paper with a flap for binding. Three prints of each view and the negatives shall be supplied to the Iowa DOT District 1 Engineer within two weeks after the exposure has been made. Rights for subsequent use shall become the property of the Iowa DOT.
The Contractor shall conduct a second inspection of each affected property once blasting is complete. He shall visually inspect and photograph each structure to verify the post-blast condition. The Contractor shall follow the same inspection procedures as outlined herein before for the pre-blast survey.
The final written report of each property shall be typed on bond paper and be in text form, headings, indexed, etc., and shall become the property of the Iowa DOT.
- Seismograph
Work under this item shall consist of furnishing a seismograph and employing a trained operator to continuously monitor ground vibration near buildings during controlled blasting. The purpose of the monitoring is to assess potential damages to adjacent structures due to blasting activities.
The seismograph shall be a continuous monitoring instrument capable of producing a continuous strip recording of the seismic readings, or a continuous dated report of all seismic events exceeding a predetermined threshold. The seismograph shall be supplied with all accessories necessary for making seismographic observations.
Monitoring Procedures
The Contractor, in the presence of the Iowa DOT District 1 Engineer, or his representative, shall take seismograph readings prior to blasting to establish an ambient index.
The seismograph shall be placed to continuously monitor all blasting activities or as directed by the Engineer. Attentive observation of the seismographic readings shall be made during all blasting operations. If blast activities generate ground vibration with maximum peak particle velocity of greater than 12.7 mm (0.50 inch) per second at frequencies below 40 Hz, or 50.8 mm (2.0 inches) per second at frequencies greater than 40 Hz; or alternatively, a maximum of 12.7 mm (0.50 inch) per second peak particle velocity below 10 Hz, and a maximum of 50.8 mm (2.0 inches) per second above 40 Hz, and a maximum of 0.20 mm (0.008 inch) displacement between 10 and 40 Hz, the Contractor shall stop the operation in progress and adjust explosive quantities and/or type or other methods to reduce vibrations to allowable levels.
Ground vibration shall be measured as the particle velocity. Particle velocity shall be recorded in three mutually perpendicular directions. The maximum allowable peak particle velocity shall apply to each of the three measurements.
The final recorded seismograph charts and/or reports shall become the property of the Iowa DOT.
- Pre-blast Crack and Damage Survey
Depending on the method of removal employed, the Contractor will be allowed to close I-235 to traffic using one of the following traffic control schemes outlined below:
- The Contractor will be allowed to close I-235 to traffic between 9 PM Saturday and 11 AM Sunday to allow for complete superstructure removal over the traveled way. Additional one lane closure may be allowed between 11 AM Sunday and 7 AM Monday to complete the bridge removal operation; during this period the Contractor will be limited to performing debris removal and clean up.
- The Contractor will be allowed to close I-235 to traffic between 9 PM and 6 AM weekdays to allow for partial removal of the structure.
Removal of all material from the bridge, including removal in stages, will be measured as a single lump sum. No measurement will be made of individual items on the bridge.
The lump sum price bid for "Removal of Existing Structures" shall be full compensation for furnishing all material, equipment, and labor and for performance of all work including removal plans as required, safety and protective measures, cleanup, and disposal of non-salvaged materials.
If explosive is used, the following items should be considered incidental: surveying each property twice, providing the written report, providing three mounted black and white glossy prints and the negative for each view photographed, furnishing a seismograph, an operator, accessories, and for furnishing all labor, equipment and incidentals necessary to complete the work.

SNOW HILL — For the second year in a row, Greene County has received a warning from the Department of State Treasurer concerning its audit, but this year's three-page letter is requiring "immediate" corrective action.
"The county has serious financial problems which the county's governing board must address immediately," the warning states.
The letter dated Dec. 12 and signed by Sharon Edmundson, director of the Fiscal Management Section, addresses a number of concerns, including the percentage of fund balance available to support operations was 6.32 percent on June 30. The available balance was $1.1 million — less than a month's expenditures. Statewide, comparative-sized governments average nearly 28 percent.
"Fund balance declined primarily because the county significantly over-estimated its revenues in the 2012 budget," the letter states. "Some of this amount was offset by a reduction in expenditures from what was appropriated, but not enough to prevent a significant depletion of fund balance by over $1.6 million. The county cannot afford to continue this practice."
At the county's Dec. 17 meeting, Snow Hill resident Tom O'Brien, in referring to commissioners' remarks about not getting financial reports, said he had never been to a meeting where financial statements were not "part of the meeting."
"We felt like for months, as a group, the shortfall was going to be serious," he said.
The town of Snow Hill experienced a similar problem in 2010 when Edmundson came to a public meeting to address the budget concerns following the town's audit report.
Snow Hill Commissioner Becki Scarborough said town commissioners hadn't been receiving a monthly or quarterly report on the financial statements, either, prior to the visit.
"It's very concerning," Scarborough said. "I think it's time to step back and be thoughtful and considerate of the decisions (county commissioners) are making."
Scarborough said the town's unrestricted funds are now at 76 percent, or about $840,000.
Another factor with the county's financial state was the advancement of $661,925 from the general fund to other funds — some being the result of timing issues, while others stem from project or other long-term commitment cost overruns. Those that will not be repaid should be written off, the letter advises.
The collection rates were improperly budgeted for 97.44 percent for property tax and 87.85 percent for vehicle tax revenues. State law requires the budgeted property tax estimation cannot exceed the previous year's collection rate.
For vehicle tax, the budgetary estimation for motor vehicles must be the collection rate for nine months of taxes levied through March and the 12 months of collection efforts.
The 2011 collection rate for property tax was 96.56 percent, and the estimated vehicle tax should have been budgeted as 86.01 percent.
Some utility and alternative water expenditures exceeded appropriations.
"The number of over-expenditures has significantly decreased from previous years;" the letter continues, "however, the county must continue to improve its pre-audit process."
The N.C. Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act requires expenditures to be budgeted before the county obligates for the funds to be spent.
The finance officer and his or her sureties are legally liable for funds dispersed without those funds actually being included or amended in the budget, the letter states.
The county must amend the budget to correct these problems and develop a financial plan explaining how it will prevent a similar situation from occurring again.
The state is requesting a copy of the budget amendment and updated budget, most recent interim financial reports and the corrective action plan signed by each board member. The state is also requesting statements of actual revenues that may not be realized and an estimate of the savings to be generated by a proposed hiring freeze and travel restrictions.
The 2011 audit also generated a letter from the state dated Jan. 1, 2012. State staff worked with the county to correct the deficiencies and the county obtained approval by the Local Government Commission to incur multiple debts on the basis that the county was improving its methods and in compliance with the LBFC Act, according to the most recent letter.
The county's 2011 audit was submitted Jan. 3, 2012, missing the Oct. 31, 2011 deadline. As was the case this year, the county didn't budget for certain utility fund expenditures. Over-expenditures were also found in the jail project fund, and a budget wasn't adopted for the April 2011 tornado fund.
"We are especially concerned that the auditor reported as a material weakness that USDA loan covenants and debt service reserve requirements were not being met;" the January letter states, "reconciliations of ledgers to underlying accounting records had not been done at year end; and the fixed asset spreadsheet had a significant number of errors and omissions."
The reconciliation of ledgers to accounting records was a repeat finding from the previous year.

The fund balance dropping below state requirement is the result of:
n Over-expenditures in the utility fund
n Over-estimation of revenues in the budget

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND -- Roy Matsumoto was born 99 years ago, one of 7 kids born in the United States to a farming couple.
When World War II erupted, Roy volunteered for the US Army's Military Intelligence Service (MIS) out of an Arkansas concentration camp. He could speak excellent Japanese because he had gone to school in Japan as a youngster. It made him an excellent spy, attached to the elite guerilla unit nicknamed Merrill's Marauders after its commander, Gen. Frank Merrill.
But two of Roy's brothers -- who were getting their educations in Japan at the time -- were drafted into the Imperial Army. His brothers had become the enemy.
Roy said he didn't know his brothers were in the Japanese army and they didn't know he was fighting for the Americans in the Pacific. So they could've ended up shooting at one another. He said being drafted by the Japanese command was a real threat.
That's one of the reasons I came back here (to the U.S.) because if I'd stayed there, I knew I'd be fighting for the Japanese, he said. He later learned his brothers' unit wasn't in Burma where Merrill's Marauders were fighting behind enemy lines.
In Burma, Roy's unit was surrounded on Maggot Hill for 10 days by Japanese forces. Roy pretended to be a Japanese commander, giving the order to charge into a booby trap, in perfect Japanese.
I gave the order, 'Prepare to charge! Susume .. sai! recalls Roy.
Roy's daughter Karen Matsumoto can only shake her head in amazement. It's pretty crazy. Actually, I have a hard time believing he did that, she laughs. She says her father only recently began talking about his exploits because he was inducted into the Ranger Hall of Fame in 1993 and the Military Intelligence Corps Hall of Fame in 1997.
He said, 'Well, you know I was with the MIS and I was supposed to keep this secret for 50 years.' says Karen. But of course, he kept it much longer!
Producers want to finish a documentary about Roy for his 100th birthday next year. But they need to raise $30,000 in the next two weeks to do so. To contribute or learn more about the project, go to http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stourwater/honor-and-sacrifice-the-roy-matsumoto-story

16-year sentence for Arlington woman who killed, buried husband

Dan Bates / The Herald
Larry Ringstad testifies about murder victim Byron Wright on Tuesday during Michele Donohue�s sentencing at Snohomish County Superior Court.
She bragged to the neighbor girl about buying a big television and toyed with the idea of installing a new jetted tub in the couple's Arlington house. She sold off his beloved automobile collection, including a couple of muscle cars.
She took half of his Boeing pension, netting her about $124,000. She also sold the property next to the house on Wade Road for about $110,000.
Donohue told anyone who would listen she was a scorned woman. Byron Wright, she said, ran off with a redheaded twentysomething, driving a sports car. She tweaked some of the details, depending on who she was talking to. She told Wright's sister the pair was headed to Wisconsin. She told the divorce judge that Wright left behind all of his belongings. She claimed that he'd bragged his new girlfriend was wealthy and he didn't need his longtime job at Boeing anymore.
Donohue filed for divorce in October 2004. She said she couldn't serve Wright with the paperwork because she didn't know where he was.
Secretly she knew Wright's exact whereabouts. Likely in September of that same year, Donohue repeatedly stabbed her husband, dismembered his body and buried him under 48 yards of fill dirt next to the shop. He was 53.
She and her new husband burned through Wright's money. She said they "spent the money on vacation trips and had fun."
A Snohomish County Superior Court judge on Tuesday sentenced Donohue to 16 years in prison. She faced up to 18 years under the law. Judge George Bowden said Donohue deserved to "be locked up," but he also believes the community would be better off if she serves some time under the supervision of the state Department of Corrections once she is released from prison. That wouldn't have been possible if she'd received the maximum.
Donohue, 48, finally confessed to killing her husband after nearly a decade of trying to keep her crime hidden beneath dirt and later concrete. She pleaded guilty earlier this month to second-degree murder.
She apologized to Wright's family on Tuesday, saying that nothing she could say would make up for what she did. She also adamantly denied planning the slaying. She said the marriage was volatile and she "lost control of her emotions and anger," the day she killed her husband.
"I want his family to know I'm so sorry," Donohue said.
Wright's younger sister said Donohue drove a wedge between her brother and his family.
"He was always around until Michele entered his life," Sharon Diehl wrote in a statement to the judge.
He had spent every holiday with his family and doted on his young nieces. The women have memories of dying Easter eggs with him and visiting on Christmas Eve as they listened to "Twas the Night Before Christmas."
"He was the uncle that got us silly gifts and he would be laughing about them as he watched us open them. He would be on the living room floor playing with my sister and I. He was our silly uncle that made us laugh and smile and just had a good time being with us. Growing up with my uncle's presence felt like I had two amazing dads," his niece Karen Robinson wrote.
Larry Ringstad grew up with Wright. They were best friends, bonded over their love for cars.
"I have to say that if you were lucky enough to have Byron befriend you, he would do anything to help you. He was a very gentle, kind and caring person," Ringstad wrote.
He saw less and less of his friend once Wright married Donohue in 2000.
"She began to isolate him from his friends and family," Ringstad said.
Relatives called and sent cards and letters, but all went unanswered. Diehl tried to file a missing persons report but she was turned away. Other relatives set up a Facebook page, trying to locate him.
"We loved Byron," Diehl said Tuesday.
The family suspected something was amiss. Ringstad said Wright would never have left behind his car collection. "He was a car guy," Ringstad said by way of explanation.
Wright was proud of the home and property that he had worked so hard to buy. "It wasn't much for most people but it was perfect for him," his sister wrote.
Diehl sent another birthday card in May 2006. This time Donohue called, claiming that Wright had left her three years prior for a younger woman.
"We tried to find him and all that time Michele knew exactly where he was," Diehl wrote.
Snohomish County sheriff's detectives found Wright's body in February, inside a plastic tote and two bags, buried under two feet of dirt and a cement floor.
A jailhouse informant had tipped them off to the murder.
Donohue had shared her secret with her new husband, telling him that she stabbed Wright. After the attack, she said Wright pleaded with her to call an ambulance. She said she refused because Wright wouldn't apologize. Donohue told her new husband she dismembered Wright in the kitchen, buried him in a shallow grave next to the shop and bought four loads of fill dirt to hide the grave.
At some point Donohue became afraid that she would lose the house to foreclosure. She recruited her new husband and his two buddies to dig up Wright's body for reburial under the shop floor.
Late last year Donohue's secret began to surface. A jail inmate told detectives he knew something about a killing. He explained that there was illegal activity going on at Donohue's place, including a "chop shop." He became nervous that Donohue might call the cops to get back at her current husband.
Donohue's husband had moved his younger, pregnant girlfriend onto the property.
One of the men who helped moved Wright's body assured the informant that Donohue wouldn't call police because she had killed her ex-husband.
The informant later agreed to wear a wire while talking to one of the body movers. The man admitted to his part in covering up the killing. The conversation was caught on the wire.
Donohue also was recorded complaining about her current husband and making statements about "hoping someone would get rid of him."
Ringstad said Tuesday he's not convinced that Donohue is sorry for what she did.
"She showed no remorse. She lived a life of spending his money while Byron lay in the dirt," he said.

Criminal Justice Degree Programs
Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice
|Regional Community Colleges
Northeast Texas Community College
Bossier Parish Community College
The Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice (BS-CJ) is a 120 credit hour curriculum designed as a "2+2" program. Students may begin their college experience in virtually any degree program at A&M-Texarkana or at a community college before transferring to A&M-Texarkana to complete their 4-year degree in criminal justice. Students usually complete an Associates degree before transfer, others begin taking upper division courses before completion of the AS, and yet others simply take required lower level courses at the community college without completing their AS degree. Full-time students with 60 hours creditable toward the degree can complete the degree in two years or less taking day and/or night classes.
The BS-CJ is oriented to pre-service and in-service criminal justice employees, particularly those who wish to be promoted to supervisory and management roles, employed in state and federal agencies, or attend graduate school. Graduates of the program work at local, state, and federal agencies. Other students who commonly seek the BS-CJ are those with career interests in social service and rehabilitation organizations that are commonly adjuncts to the criminal justice system. Based on individual student interests and goals, faculty will help students customize their degree plan based on interests in management, human behavior, forensic science, social work, liberal arts, or other areas.
Minor in Criminal Justice
Students who are interested in criminal justice but who plan to get a bachelors degree in a different field should consider completing the Minor in Criminal Justice. The CJ Minor is designed to give students a serious overview of the criminal justice/criminology field without completing the entire major. It is an excellent choice for students whose career will be in areas of government, education, social services, the law, or others that are in contact with the criminal justice system. Students who plan to work in an area unrelated to criminal justice but who wish to spice up their college years and broaden their academic horizons with a fascinating field of study are also perfect candidates for the Minor.
Graduate Programs
Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies
The College of Education and Liberal Arts offers a Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies. MSIS students can designate Criminal Justice as their Concentration (or as their second or third areas of interest). The criminal justice concentration includes four graduate criminal justice courses as well as the required IS research sequence. Students without certain undergraduate criminal justice courses also take additional criminal justice courses for graduate credit (CJ 480 Criminological Theories and CJ 485 Seminar in Criminal Justice).

I'm a 47 year old woman that lives in the Catskill mountains of New York State. I have 1 cat that I consider my child. I love music, comedy, serious discussions, sexual banter, puzzles of all kinds, helping others, helping myself, learning new things, teaching new things, Monty Python, Family Guy, Mel Brooks movies, virtually every show on USA, hot cocoa with melted peppermint candies and lots of marshmellows, nature, life, green things, water, rain, storms, thunder, power, and people.
I take friendships seriously and I hate to clean house. I am looking forward to a new life in the not too distant future.
Oh, did I say I love LOVE? Love is everything. It powers the universe. My purpose in life is to love as many people as I can and be loved by as many people as possible.
After over three years of using and enjoying this site, I am leaving today, October 12, 2011, for good. This wonderful site, once called Yedda has turned into a nauseating collection of advertisements for sexual promiscuity and now posts ads for porn. I can no longer, in good conscience, support this kind of filth where children are present. I will miss the good times, but will be relieved not to have to consider myself a part of this mess that is AolAnswers. Goodbye, Everyone. It was sweet while it lasted.

Comments about 23-Gauge 1 in. Pin Nailer Kit:
I use this pin nailer mainly for nailing miter joints, scribe trim, and lighter weight crown moulding. I regularly use it hardwoods such as oak, maple, cherry, etc. I have had zero problems using pin nails up to 1" long. In other guns that accommodate a longer nail I have had a problem with the pin nail running out. For me, this nailer accommodates the most effective lengths of nails in 23 gauge.

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio—Miami University's women's cross country team placed four runners among the top 10 finishers at the 2013 Mid-American Conference Championship, which catapulted the RedHawks to their third conference title in six years, defeating three-time conference champion Toledo 45-48.
"They were awesome, they did such a great job," said head coach Kelly Phillips, who was named MAC Coach of the Year as a result of her strong leadership this season. "They just ran smart, and it was awesome…I honestly didn't think we had it at the finish because they (Toledo) had their five in before we did, but our top three really made the difference. But that last thousand (meters), our top six just got after it and it was so much fun to watch."
Junior Jess Hoover paced the Red and White throughout the entire 6K race on Bowling Green State University's Forrest Creason Golf Course, finishing third overall in 21:16.97. Redshirt junior Melissa Girgis was the team's second scorer, taking fifth overall in 21:26.63. Both Hoover and Girgis were named First-Team All-MAC for finishing within the top seven.
Two other RedHawks were named Second-Team All-MAC, finishing back-to-back in ninth and tenth. Junior Anna Lamb was Miami's third finisher in 21:32.63, while sophomore Laura Bess finished one second behind in 21:33.67. Junior Elisa Frazier was Miami's final scorer, taking 18th overall in 21:58.56.
Lamb and Bess both topped three Toledo Rockets who rounded out Toledo's scoring in 11th, 13th and 14th. These additional points thwarted Toledo's hopes of earning a fourth-consecutive conference title.
"It was one of those races where it went exactly according to plan," Phillips said. "We knew Toledo would go out hard, and the plan was to go out with them and just stay behind them and run a strong last thousand, and we did it. Everything went really well."
Four other RedHawk women competed in the conference meet, including sophomore Julia Valencia. Although she did not score for the RedHawks, but was the team's sixth finisher, rounding out the top 20 in 22:01.57. Sophomore Mattie Moncayo placed seventh for Miami and 36th overall in 22:34.87, while junior Brenna Poulsen was the team's eighth finisher in 41st with a time of 22:50.38. Junior Alex Chitwood was Miami's final finisher, placing 50th in 23:07.34.
The RedHawks look to continue their momentum from the MAC Championship into the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Championship, which will be held Friday, Nov. 15 in Madison, Wis. If they earn a top finish at the regional meet, the Red and White will travel to Terre Haute, Ind. at the end of this month to compete in the 2013 NCAA Championship.

Is there any value in EEG brain wave readings or is it just technological garbage like a lie detector? There are clinics that use "Neurotherapy" and "Bio Feedback" machines that use EEG brainwave frequencies to show patients how their brain is the cause of their health problems. They then "treat" these people by exposing them to various sound and light frequencies which affects the EEG readings and thus is bringing their brain into "alignment". This usage of EEG smells like a scam, but it opens a wider question. Given that exposing the patients to varying sound and light frequencies effects EEG read outs doesn't it seem likely that EEG is at the very least an inaccurate form of measuring brain activity and at the most a complete waste of time? or am I way off in my understanding of what it actually does and how the information could be useful?
EEG, is there any value?

Sadly, the Visitors aren't among us any longer. After two short seasons, ABC has cancelled their V TV series.
A reimagining of the original V, this series tells the tale of what happens when an advanced alien race arrives of Earth professing their desire to help mankind. Fortunately, not everyone trusts them. The second season features the talents of Charles Mesure, Elizabeth Mitchell as Erica Evans, Joel Gretsch, Laura Vandervoort, Logan Huffman, Morena Baccarin, Morris Chestnut, and Scott Wolf.
For season one, V ended up averaging a 2.25 rating in the coveted 18-49 demographic and 5.7 million average viewers. It was "on the bubble" but ended up being renewed for a 13 episode second season. The network was hoping that the show would catch on and the ratings would improve.
Loading ...
ABC later reduced the episode order to just 10 installments and debuted them mid-season. Unfortunately, ABC's gamble didn't pay off. Season two of V ended up averaging only a 1.9 in the demo and 5.49 million viewers.
Though the network and producers maintained that the show was still in contention for next season, it was clear that there would only be a third season of V if ABC was willing to gamble once again. In the end, they weren't.
ABC confirmed today that V has been cancelled after two seasons and 22 episodes. The series finale aired on March 15th and, unfortunately, there were lots of unresolved cliffhangers. Hopefully the producers will someday share what they had in mind for season three.
What do you think? Are you sad that V won't be returning next season? Why do you think the series didn't catch on?
Wondering where the rest of your shows stand? Check our ABC cancel/renew page.
