Vx finally enters a race, or a newb tapes on some numbers
Well it's finally in the books, it is a long drawn out story which I wasn't even sure was ever going to happen, so grab a beverage and get comfy or scroll down and look at all the lame pictures before clicking onto something more interesting. :deal
I've been riding since 2009ish and been racing and riding mountain and BMX bikes my whole life. Despite my relative inexperience I had a two wheeled head start and am a bit of a nutter. I've been putting off racing for years because honestly I don't really like going that fast and I don't like jumping. Smashing myself or my bike into logs, piles of rocks, and falling down the sides of mountains I'm perfectly fine with. :clap:clap
That being the case I entered Last Dog Standing in the expert class as I'm stupid, crazy, and had be cajoled into it by inmates cross-country and thump_co. About a month before I rode in Montrose with inmate enduro-ince, or "the -ince" on some pretty gnarly stuff and was feeling good. :wink:
Here is "The -ince" eyeing up a healthy slice of bike smashing suffer pie. :eek1

Driving back from that ride I started to feel extremely tired and achy. Not the kind of tired and achy a 28-year-old would feel after a hard days riding. I was getting sick.
I slept it off and went and rode a shorter local loop the next day, and felt pretty decent all day but that night it came back with a vengance. The next four days I had a high fever, whole body aches, and extreme fatigue. I still went into work every day as we had an important project to deliver and it wouldn't have happened without me.
The next weekend my buddy andrew came down to ride and i was still sick but less so, so I went out for a couple rides with him. :D
Me doing some log hoppin!

Andrew getting all splishy splashy

The second day I made a lot of mistakes and he commented "Man you are all over the place today." It was true and I knew it. This was about three weeks before LDS. The following tuesday I was having Margaritas in the back yard by the fire pit with my wonderful girlfriend and noticed I was stumbling like I'd drank ten of the things, not two. It kept getting worse, I wasn't physically sick anymore but my motor skills were going to shit. I normally ride my bike into work and that got down right hazerdous, I had to stop driving. A week later I arranged to work from home until I got better as the Dr thought it might be a couple of weeks for an inner ear thing to work itself out.
LDS came, and went. I was able to have cross-country use my entry. A month later I was having trouble talking, could only walk like someone 15 shots in, couldn't touch the end of my nose with my finger to save my life, and was referred to a neurologist and told it was bad. I pretty much thought it was over and the moments spent lying on the front porch in the sun under the russian olive in front of my house with the dogs and my girlfriend would be some of my last.
I went to the neurologist who put me through the gamut of tests and determined my inner ear was fine and I needed an MRI. Time to go in the tube. By the end of that week they had determined there was no tumors or visible cancers and a blood test had come up normal. I didn't know it at the time but a pattern had begun to emerge.
Still with the sober walking and talking abilities of a college freshman who is a handle deep into the nights shots I spent the next four weeks on the couch extremely thankful for netflix and in and out of the hospital.
MRI. Nothing. Blood Test. Nothing. MRI with contrast dye. Nothing. Spinal Tap. Nothing. Blood test sent to mayo clinic. Nothing.
The weeks drug into months like your bike does after it falls off the hitch carrier and you pull it nervously by the straps for the next hundred yards until you can fight your way through traffic to the side of the road. I put down seasons of sci-fi shows faster than a toddler drinks a juice box. Languishing all day in a dog hair filled couch I couldn't clean up. I wanted it to end, and certainly had the means, but knew it was just another obstacle I had to beat.
Three months after it all started I began to ride my mountain bike up and down the block. There were lots of very awkward slow crashes. I started going to physical therapy and learning to walk again. People said I sounded better on the phone and not like I'd spent another morning with the hair of the dog. Then I rode my bike around the block. Then I rode my bike to work. I stopped using a walker and started using a cane. Progress wasn't measured in days but in weeks and months and life still pretty much sucked. I was getting better but had no idea how much better I'd get.
I started riding my mountain bike on single track again going very slow and crashing often. I've stood the the top of podiums, have a collegiate conference gold medal for the one year I raced that, and here I was; riding at the level of a brand new beginner. It was frustrating as hell, but damn was it good to be out on the trail again.
Skip to about four months since it all started, and el doctors determined they had no clue what the fuck had happened to me but I was getting much better and it was probably some very unlucky virus which had been beaten by my immune system before they could turn my into a lab rat. Regardless, my noggin had been damaged and it took all that time to get pretty much every motor skill back, walking, talking, driving, typing, putting socks on, the works.
So fast forward to the beginning of September and the riding season is shot to shit and I am completely caught up on Star Trek, Star Gate, and Fringe. All of it. I was nervous to go ride a dirt bike out in the woods because there are things to drop them off and things to fall down. So I did what I figured was the more logical thing. I rode my 950 with a dead clutch around the neighborhood. About 20 Miles around the neighborhood.
S.T.L.R.B. with mineral oil all down her side.

It felt great. Not riding proficiently or safely great. Wind in my face, endless coasting, two wheels, and a healthy motor great.
I continued to ride my mountain bike and was getting to level where it was fun again. Time to ride a dirty bike. :deal

Oh god damn yes. All the struggles I encountered riding a mountain bike were about 10% of the obstacle at this point on a dirt bike. Inmate thump_co had talked to me about doing the denver endurocross so I figured what better a celebration of my recent rise from shittyness than to make a fool of myself in front of a crowd. :lol3
I made lists and spread sheets. Riding my moto three times a week, my mtb 3 times a week and goind to the gym.

It was still hard, I still made a lot of mistakes, and was still functioning at around 95% Walking and standing still give me problems. Fortunately I've always been pretty clumsy so others don't really seem to notice.
Five days before the race I was going to go out for one last short testing ride to make sure some jetting changes I'd done felt good.
The bike felt great but the 5mph awkward slow crash into a recent rain rut caused this:

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.
The next day I called every dealer in the US I could think of. No one had a brake pedal I could overnight. Lesson Learned about riding oddball bikes in races.... Everyone I talked to on the phone was very helpful and sympatheitc to my cause. So props to Halls Cycles, Jim of Dual Sport Utah, and Doug of Dougs Kawasaki who offered to try and weld my pedal should I not be able to find a replacement. Finally I called Gunnison Motorsports and talked to the owner Fritz. He offered to take the pedal off a brand new 2013 Gasser 300 and sell it to me. I was so thrilled!
I had my hotel reservations, the friday before off, and a bunch of new stuff like tires and such I bought for LDS but obviously never used.

All I had to do was stop through Gunny on the way to Denver and everything would be set. Oh yeah, except for the most part I had no idea what I was doing.
Everything is ready to go!
So on Friday I drop off the dogs at my mom's hop in the car with the gf/mechanic, and hit the road in the season's first snow storm :clap

We got the brake lever and pulled into Boulder, where we were staying, around 9pm. Ate some din and then hit the sack the next thing I know is this. Slept through the alarm, shit show engage.

We met my buddy andrew at the venue as he was riding in my class. Thump_co talked me into racing and then bailed with some lame excuse about bike problems so shame him when you see him post. :deal
At the Western Center parking lot my mechanic/ wonderful girlfriend guards our fine euro steeds.

Andrew putting his numbers on.

Hell Yeah! Race time baby!

Scenic views. What adventure is complete without them?

A quick pose before the rider's meeting.

Well we wandered/scrambled around like idiots and managed to get registered, make the track walk, and get our kits on in time for the first practice.
The course, of course.

I was pretty nervous because it was my first race and I can't ride for beans at the moment, but overall felt fairly good. I lined up for the first practice and made it throught he first three obstacles without too much effort. Then came the log matrix. I got very stuck, as I did every lap, and it made me so tired everything else, which was pretty rideable, became very hard. I got stuck again in the rocks and again in the river rock turn. So in perfect newb fashion, I huffed and I puffed and I whiskey throttled my bike off the next non-obstical on the first lap of practice and broke my subframe to shit. Instead of stopping and watching some more experenced folks lines or getting my wits and breath back I put myself out of the race by breaking the ass off my bike.
Oh wait never mind, god gave us zip ties, electrical tape, and jb weld. :eek1:lol3

I was very thankful threw in a cordless drill "just in case" because I needed it. And the jumbo pack of zip ties! :clap:clap:clap:clap:lol3:lol3
I was also very thankful my wonderful girlfriend was along because she dove into the tool box and started patching shit back together.
Considering I got basically ten minutes of practice, two to four laps at best, before qualifying, and my bike was broken in half but held together with fifty cents worth of shit I felt like things were going pretty well. In my second practice I got stuck in the matrix on my second lap and some one ran into me from behind and really broke my broken rear end. Regardless, the dreaded stack of tires never even got me once!

I got the unholeshot in qualifying, which was good, because my bike made it to the second corner and..... just fucking died. I ran the battery down trying the e-starter, then kicked and kicked and kick until one of the course workers came over and started joking with me. It was actually pretty funny considering. After what felt like fifteen minutes I kicked and she fired, so I rode the next obstacle and the next course worker told me to pull off because the checkers were out. Hallelujah, I didn't have to ride the matrix!
I went back to the pits dejected, thinking my day was over. I met andrew who got 3rd, just one position shy of qualifying. He was actually riding really well the day I thought.
Andrew coming out of the rocks.

Andrew in the reever rocks

Andrew coming out of the reever rocks

Andrew blasting into rock mountain.

Well I talked to an AMA offical who said even though I DNF'd qualifying I still got to race LCQ. Being grouped with the worse was my best time at the race. I cleaned everything but the matrix, despite coming in dead last. Being that two months ago I was using a walker, and my bike was completely fucked I was very thrilled with how things went! :clap
Rounding turn one in last place.

coming into turn two.

More turn two.

Jumping the big tire spine thing.

This is the obstacle I whisky throttled. It was the easiest bit of the course haha. :freaky

Cleaning the rocks

Hey, I'm not on the ground so things are going well right?

I could get half way through the matrix before getting epicly stuck.

Don't be fooled by the timing of this photo. I rolled the double every time

Rounding the last turn right before my completing a successful first race without injury, dismemberment, or death! :clap

All in all it was a great experience and I learned a lot. Bike can be fixed and I definitely want to enter another endurocross. I hope to spend some time on a course similar to the one we rode and get an actual feel for it as I felt like every lap I got better and better. I maybe never "got it" but certainly reached the point where I could see myself a least finding the middle of the pack. Since I'm ridiculous I don't see to many hair scrambles or regular enduros in my future, but would lvoe to see what hard enduro is all about and race some more EX.
Honestly I'm just super thankful to be back on a bike. :clap :deal :lol3
Great read Drew! Really good to see you back on the bike!! Get that baby fixed up so we can hang this weekend!
Great story! Glad to see you back on a bike!! Cheers! :freaky
Nice. I was there for the practice, cheering my friend Brandon who raced his KX250. He got stuck on the starting gate during the LCQ so unfortunately he didn't qualify. We were parked a few cars down from you, wish I'd have known that was you.
Great job going out there and getting after it!
Awesome Job! Love seeing the 2T's out there too. They sounded so much better than some of the super obnoxious 4 strokes some of the guys were running.
I took my three little boys (10, 5 and 3) to watch the afternoon practices and they loved it. I talked to one of the pros and he was saying that this was the toughest of the courses they've ridden because of the spacing of the obstacles and having no time to catch your breath between things.
Never having ridden a course like this I had a question for anyone who tried it. How much shifting were you actually doing? It almost seemed like everything was set up to be run in one gear?!
Props to you (and the other amatuers) for running it :clap:clap:clap
From talking to some of the pro's last year, they shared that they only have 2 gears in their transmissions, so not a lot of shifting there either.
Also, thanks everyone for the proppers!
Now the carnage.
Pretty much everything from the air filter boot back was toast. $$$

I just started taking off broken things until I got to things which were not broken.
Nakey bike.

Oh oh! Whats this? Well looks like I am taking the motor apart to see how it looks too. More $$$$. :freaky
Looks like the air filter peeled up at the bottom and let some crap in. How much or how bad, I guess I'll find out when I pull the top end... Ugh.

To follow up a little more, Andrew ended up getting 2nd in the LCQ so he was one position away in both qualifying and LCQ from making the main. Pretty damn good if you ask me. :clap
The day after before coming home the girlfriend and I drove out to the Highway Dirt Bikes shop and checked out their operation and had a few beers with the-anti-paul. He makes a top notch product and I certainly tested out their impact resistance on a ex course. Not much of my bike stayed intact, but my levers and bars did :clap
Sorry ince, moab this weekend is looking pretty grim at this point... :cry
Awesome to see you back on a bike, and way to stick it out. Looked crazy difficult. I hope you are able to patch back together for next weekend!
Wow! Congrat's on overcoming such hardship (riding with -ince, that is). Just amazing.
Any chance that could have been West Nile?
Possibly but not likely, I tested negative for West Nile and my symptoms weren't totally in line with what I read/heard about that. Bickerstaff's Encephalitis had pretty close symptoms to my un-medically trained, internet induced hypochondriac self;but nothing was ever conclusive. The official diagnosis was cerebral ataxia associated with the archicerebellum. This basically translates to an observed loss of coordination especially in the vestibular system. :huh
The how and why if why that system was damaged remain a mystery, but fortunately it repairs itself fairly well. The important part is that I've gotten a lot better since the onset, as those suffering from rare cancers and genetic and or degenerative diseases don't really do that. I'll know about a year from this past august how much better I'm actually going to get but things are looking pretty favorable at the moment. :clap
As to riding with "the -ince" through my understanding friends and family and years worth of professional counseling I should be able to overcome this devastating event. I'm afraid my riding confidence has nearly died from the few encounters I've had. I can't listen to music with a bass guitar without having debilitating flashbacks.
I have accepted my shame.
..and somehow it is quite well counterbalanced by my lack of physical pain today. I believe I may have found a new niche as a "motivational rider" in getting others to sign up for these things. See all the helpful training it did for you? You're welcome.
Seriously Drew. Great job on the recovery.. and for the sack to race EX within a couple months of learning to walk again!
But I'm realizing that haircut does make me look a bit heavy.
Dang Drew! I had no idea! HUGE KUDOS to you! Races and log matrixes don't mean a hill of beans. You're #1 in my book! :clap :clap :clap :clap
My weekend did not go as planned. So I did not make it to Endurocrosss. Still, I am totally impressed and inspired by your story! ATTABOY!
Yeah....damn man....I too had no idea. Watched ya racin....looked hard. Real hard. The pros said it was hard. But you did it! Excellent comeback!!
Now get that bike repaired and go enjoy some trails. They'll all be cake after EX.

Tips For An A+ Science Fair Display
Schools across the country are gearing up for their annual Science Fairs– giving young scientists a chance to shine and compete with other students in the Science and Technology fields. Science Fair Sanity is a great resource for students and teachers and offers hints, tips, tricks, and examples that will assist you in developing an award-winning science fair display board. Use these tips to take your science fair project display from good to great!
1. Before standing your backboard on the display table, cover the table with a colored cloth. Choose a color that matches the color scheme of the backboard. This will help to separate your project from other projects displayed on either side.
2. Place all typed material on a colored backing, such a construction paper. Leave a border of about 1,4 to 1h inch (0.63 to 1.25cm) around the edges of each piece of typed material. Use a paper cutter so that the edges will be straight.
3. Make the project title stand out by using larger letters for it and smaller letters for the headings.
4. To arrange the letters on the backboard, first lay the letters out on the board without attaching them. Then, use a yardstick (meterstick) and pencil to draw a straight light guideline where the bottom of each letter should line up. This will help you keep the lettering straight. Before adhering everything, ask the opinion of other students, teachers, or family members.
5. If you need electricity for your project, be sure the wiring meets all safety standards.
6. Bring an emergency kit with extra letters, glue, tape, construction paper the color of the backboard, stapler,scissors,pencils, pens, touch-up paint, markers, and so forth. This kit should contain anything that you think you might need to make last-minute repairs to the display.
This list is from Janice VanCleave's book, Guide to the Best Science Fair Proiects,
New York, Wiley, 1997. The Guide is available on line at: SchooDoodle.com

Crikey, now I gotta start agreeing with you!
I agree with Auspicious, Norfolk is a good jumping off place.
Last year I did the ICW and it was great becasue I am Australian and it was my touristy thing to do. But once done I dont need to do it again. I was doing about 50 nms per day and often times had to spend nights in marinas to fill the days in with motoring.
Going outside is only 675 nms, about 6 days and once outside the Gulf Stream you can see the current drops off a lot, and there's eddies.
Just plugging away at it will be much quicker than the ICW and much cheaper.
Someone with local knowledge may be able to do the beach hopping thing inside the west wall of the Gulf Stream, but I dont think thats necessary.
the ICW is nice but its loooooong.
A 6 day cruise is over within a week.
Great maths eh?!

It's been a long time since the New Jersey Nets have had a power forward.
Since Kenyon Martin's departure after their back-to-back finals appearances, the Nets have had a number of ammenties at the four-position, although none have been able to pan out.
From Jason Collins to Josh Boone, back to their first-round pick two years ago, Derrick Favors, no one has been as productive as Martin was for a franchise who hasn't been good since 2003.
Now, New Jersey is hopeful that Sheldon Williams can fill that void, and play a major part in their 2012 season.
Williams, a stand-out center at Duke University, has had limited experience since he was drafted by Atlanta in 2006. He played last season for the Denver Nuggets, averaging just 4.5 points-per-game, and averaging just over 14 minutes-per-game.
The Nets will be asking Williams for a much more important role than any other team he has played for throughout his career.
New Jersey will need Williams to re-gain his physical stature that helped him dominate college basketball, particularly when he was teamed up with J.J Redick. Paired with center Brook Lopez and point guard Deron Williams, he has the ability to be part of a dynamic trio that can win the Nets a lot of games this season.
Williams saw significant playing time in New Jersey's only pre-season game -- a 92-83 loss to the Knicks -- scoring 4 points in 17+ minutes. With Williams getting a good number of touches on the low-block, oppurtunities can be opened for Lopez, and it can open scoring for the entire Nets team.
It's a small step, certainly, but Sheldon Williams being productive can go a long way for New Jersey this season.

Cut and stitch a leather key chain for Father's Day with a geometric design. This homemade gift is easy to make and very stylish for Dad. Project designed by Jenya of MyEvaForeva.
Find this project in the free Father's Day Crafts: Blogger Edition 2010 eBook.
- Leather
- Scissors
- Chalk
- Sewing Machine
- Colored Thread
- (optional) baby oil
I first cut out two circles and one rectangular out of leather.
I used chalk to mark the corners. First I made the first four marks(like 12, 3, 6, and 9 on the clock). I then added two extra lines in between each of those.
Before I begun sewing I placed a drop of glue between the two layers to keep the pieces together. I started stitching from the "first" mark, skipping three, to the "fourth".
After I got the triangle shape I stitched towards the "fifth" mark and started stitching the triangle again by skipping three marks. I almost forgot to sew in the holder loop.
I made sure to finish all triangles and stitch along the edges. Then I erased the chalk and applied some baby oil to the surface and the edges of the finished key chain.

Governor Cuomo/via Flickr
June 17, 2014
There are three days left in the session and New York lawmakers are grappling with a bill legalizing medical marijuana. Governor Cuomo says he still has major issues with the current proposal.
Cuomo wants to prohibit smoking and only allow ingestion of marijuana through edibles and vaporizers.
The bill's sponsor Senator Diane Savino says that change is not going to pass.
"We reject that," says Savino. "Health care professionals who prescribe medical marijuana and patient advocates will be the first to tell you that for some patients, smoking is the only method to provide the relief that they need. It is also easier to manage the dosage if you smoke it."
Cuomo says he wants to make sure the roll-out of the medical marijuana system is done carefully.
"And if we have a debacle, what do we do?" asks Cuomo.
So, he's a proposing a sunset clause requiring reauthorization by the legislature after five years.
Senator Savino says that would discourage the industry from setting up business in New York.
"No one is going to come to New York state to open up or apply for a license if they have to worry the industry is going to be shut down in five years," says Savino. "It's going to take at least two years to establish the regulations before licenses can be issued."
To pass the bill this session will require a message of necessity from Cuomo, waiving the three-day waiting period before a new law can be voted on.

Middlebourne is a town in Tyler County, West Virginia, USA. The population was 815 at the 2010 census. It serves as the county seat of Tyler County.[6]
Middlebourne was established by an enactment of the Virginia General Assembly in 1813.[7] Two explanations have been given for the name of the town: One is that it was located halfway between Pennsylvania and a series of salt wells along the Kanawha River upstream of Charleston; the other is that it is located midway between the source and the mouth of Middle Island Creek,[7] which flows through the town.[8]
The Tyler County Courthouse and Jail is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Middlebourne is located at 39°29′38″N 80°54′21″W / 39.49389°N 80.90583°W (39.493966, -80.905751).[9]

Also, like the movie, the play shifts from a black-and-white reality to a colorful dream sequence and back again.
For the most part, costumes (by Carie Erickson) play an important role in this effect. Clothing worn by characters in the opening sequence is, for the most part, black, white, and gray. And of course, the entire dream sequence is loaded with color.
Lloyd added that for the first time in CYT's performing arts history, onstage scenery was built entirely by its cast and crew. Among its many locales, the set includes the Wicked Witch's castle, Munchkinland and the Emerald Forest.
"Building the set ourselves was important to us," Lloyd said. "The process was educational and stimulating."
The director also praised her company for a variety of other accomplishments.
The kids did their share of research, which included online work and reading Baum's original story.
Another opportunity for the kids involves the music.
"Our musical director, Wendi Turk, has recruited young people for the orchestra," Lloyd said. "We're really excited about that."
And for those of you wondering whether Toto is portrayed by a real dog, the answer is yes.
"Like all animals, Charlie can be unpredictable," Lloyd said. "He tends to fall asleep onstage, but we love him."

"Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until they speak."
Iowa fans and their dominance are hated like the Yankees, to deny that is silly. America doesnt like pure dominance like what Iowa does unless its against foreign countries like the Olympics. I think Hate is a strong word, but besides Iowa fans if this match happens the entire arena will be against McD.
Still dont know why all the talk is about McD and Precin though basically giving Robles a pass to the finals. This scenario assumes that Robles is in the finals, and that is NOT a lock. He will still have to beat very good guys to get there just like McD will as well.
Sander's stomp was definitely a polarizing moment. It brings to mind Roberto Alomar's spit at the umpire a while back, folks just never really saw him the same after that. I'm not really sure Sanders deserves his rep, it as it really wasn't that big a deal, but he just did it against the wrong guy, the guy with one leg, so automatically you think he's a scumbag afterward.
Maybe it's just me, but Thorn's act tends to crack me up more than anything. At times it's so over the top, it just can't be taken seriously, like his six-shootin' rootin' tootin' rant after his pin of Marion last year. You watch it and it's like you're almost embarrassed for him. Almost. I think I'll root for him to win it all this year just to see his celebration antics. He'd do something legendary I'm sure. I vote that he lies on the mat and runs around in circles, Three Stooges-Curly style.
Found this on another wrestling site, couldn't of said it better myself: I make no argument that Robles is great. He's outstanding and has been dominant, but just like in college football, who you wrestle has to matter. At least make him face one of the best guys before the finals because he hasn't had to face any of them throughout the season. It's the right thing to do in my opinion and what's fair to the competitors. To me, this is a ploy by the NCAA to get Robles in the finals and generate PR for the sport.
RIP Jacob Schlottke - 1984-2011
"If Cornell finishes ahead of Iowa with five all americans I'll jump into the Des Moines River after finals." -Herkey#1 8/16/12
Rey lost his last match and is still seeded first.
Branvold is undefeated and not seeded into the finals.
Caldwell has been MIA most of the season an is seeded first.
Howe has been MIA the second half of the season and is still seeded 2nd.
Etc, etc, etc...............
Last I heard, Robles was 28-0 with 21 techs.........that's pretty dominent. Precin and MCD is a toss up. Precin won first, was winning second when McD stuck him and McD won the last one.
You are grasping at straws when you claim a conspiracy theory as to seeding.
Fellas.......face it, nobody cares about wrestling other than us. More people will go to see the 2 worst BB teams in the Big !0 play each other than went to our BT Championship. There is NO PR for this sport, we are the ugly sister of college athletics and always will be.
The Art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.
I'll cheer for Robles if it happens, but have nothing against McD, and certainly don't see him as a villain.

An 'inconvenient truth' for GOP war on earmarks.
"An 'inconvenient truth' for GOP war on earmarks."
Though President Bush and congressional conservatives are seeking "to shame Democrats for failing to kill the practice of earmarking money for pet projects," an "inconvenient truth" undermining their strategy is the fact that "Democrats last year actually approved fewer earmarks than Republicans did when they ran Congress." Compared to the Republican-controlled Congress in 2006, "the total number of earmarks is down" by nearly 25 percent.

Philip Seymour Hoffman died on February 2, 2014, but little more than a year earlier, the Oscar-winning actor was giving an introspective (and eerily premonitory) interview about the meaning of happiness with philosopher Simon Critchley at the Rubin Museum of Art.
"Pleasure's not happiness. I kill pleasure -- I take too much of it and then therefore make it unpleasurable," Hoffman mused in the previously unaired interview, which has been turned into an animated short by David Gerlach and Patrick Smith. "There is no pleasure that I haven't actually made myself sick on."
PBS Digital Studios' "Blank on Blank" series. In it, the performer discussed what happiness meant to him, how he really only found it with his three children, and how he struggled to keep the past from creeping back in to the present.
"Meditation is actually coming right up to the lip of death and saying 'I'm here, I'm scared.' That's life," Hoffman observed. "If you can actually live in that place ... learning how to die is therefore learning how to live."

Hard-hitting heavyweight hope Derek Chisora has promised to breath new life into the "boring" domestic heavyweight division. 'Del Boy' is out in action again next Friday night at Bethnal Green's York Hall in a 10 round International contest, and his immediate aim is to climb to the top of the British rankings..
His big date in front of the Sky television cameras follows an explosive KO win over American Sean McLean in London less than a week ago on Frank Warren's big DebRA charity show.
And he reckons that he is the man to inject some interest into a domestic scene that has been dominated by Danny Williams, Matt Skelton, Michael Sprott and Audley Harrison for years.
"I watched Audley Harrison's fight against George Arias the other week and it was dire," said 24-year-old Chisora, who lives in Finchley, North London.
"The public paid good money to watch him fight and all he did was send them to sleep.
"I even dropped off watching the fight at home on television.
"In fact, the whole domestic scene has got boring, and I'm the man to turn things around.
"People want excitement when they watch boxing, and when they watch heavyweight boxing they want excitement and knock outs, and that is what you are going to get with me.
"I can punch, I can fight and I like to entertain, and I'm just what the heavyweights need right now. I promise that I'll make things interesting again."
Despite having had just six fights, Chisora is already in the British top 10, mainly thanks to an outstanding win over Sam Sexton earlier this year.
That win looks even better following Sexton's victory in last weekend's Prizefighter tournament.
"Sexton is a good fighter, but he's not great against someone who can move, and that's why I beat him," said Chisora, who marched to the ABA title in 2005. "I can brawl but I can box as well, and that's why the public will want to watch me."
Chisora is already catching the eye of respected boxing writers. The Observer's Kevin Mitchell, who attended the DebRA show and watched Chisora in action, said in his column last Sunday: "If you want to keep an eye out for an exciting prospect in the heavyweight division, you could do worse than follow the fortunes of Derek 'Del Boy' Chisora, of Finchley, the former ABA Champion who took his pro career record to six straight wins by accounting for a tall American called Sean McLean."
"It's great that the media are starting to recognise me, " He added. "It gives me a big boost when I read something like that but I know it only takes one punch to wreck my dreams so I just try to keep focused, train hard and keep my feet on the ground."
Shunned by the European Boxing Union (EBU) (see http:// www.fight-production.com/articles/ article232.htm), despite being considered a top-ranked superwelterweight by all independent computer ratings, Hungarian class-act Attila The Viper Kovacs, 24-1 (17 KOs), has now set out to prove hes world class when he dares to face Armenian Gennady Martirosyan, 13-1 (4 KOs), in the unfriendly confines of Vyborg, Russia on October 4.
Martirosyan lives in near-by St. Petersburg and just like with Kovacs, his sole professional loss came so early in his career, that it can be considered meaningless by now. Kovacs, in fact, is unbeaten in six years. The 34-year-old Hungarian from Györ had signed with Fight Production late last year and was kept active in low-profile fights in cooperation with Profibox Promotion, the promotional outfit of Hungarian heavyweight champion and Fight Production partner Zoltan Petranyi. Im impressed how patiently Attila has waited for this chance, said German manager Olaf Schroeder, like a true professional he just went on with it and when we proposed Martirosyan, Attila just said Bring him on! without even asking about the money. I believe he has too much all-around for Martirosyan to handle.
Experience indeed seems Kovacs biggest asset when he travels to Russia. Whereas Martirosyan has yet to feature in his first fight for a title, The Viper is a veteran of six (all victorious!) championship bouts of sorts. Interestingly, the Armenians last outing, in July, saw him win an 8-round decision over Brit Steve Conway the same man Kovacs outpointed over 12 rounds for the IBO world title two years earlier. Sandwiched in between those defeats were two further losses for Conway: Prospect Grzegorz Proksa gained a 6-round verdict and Christophe Canclaux stopped him in three, so Conway clearly wasnt the same man when he faced Martirosyan. Kovacs biggest-name victim probably was former European champion Mamadou Thiam, whom he stopped in seven exciting rounds in 2005.
The clash is scheduled for 10 rounds, with both fighters allowed to come in on the middleweight limit, so neither should have to suffer making weight. In a refreshing back-to-old-times style, Kovacs vs Martirosyan shares top billing with another 10-rounder which sees Ali Ismailov taking on American Max Alexander.

TDP, Congress blamed for present crisis
PRP promises prohibition in phases
VIZIANAGARAM: Women belonging to Mahila Rajyam, women's wing of the Praja Rajyam Party, on Friday staged a dharna at the Collector's Office against the government's failure to control prices of essential commodities in the market. The dharna was staged as part of the week-long programme of the Mahila Rajyam.
District convenor of Mahila Rajyam Meesala Geetha and State organising secretary A. Katyayani and PRP district convenor M. Venkataramana told reporters that due to the asymmetrical policies of the Congress government, the living condition of the poor and the middle class people was severely affected.
Ms. Geetha said that the prevailing situation was due to wrong policies of the TDP and the Congress governments and called upon the electorate to vote PRP for good governance.
She said that though the Chief Minister had been claiming bumper harvest for the last four years and six months neither the farmers nor the consumers were benefited. Later, they submitted a memorandum to Joint Collector.

Liz Mair's Recent Discussions
Is Paul Ryan a good VP choice?
Up until now, Romney's campaign has appeared largely focused on simply trying to make 2012 a referendum on President Obama, and as we've seen, that potentially enables the Obama team to respond by trying to a make a "best of two bad choices" argument. Even if inaccurate, that's not particularly helpful for Romney.
So while the selection of Ryan is going to strike some people as risky, it's actually a smart move, both politically and substantively. Now, this election can be a choice about two futures, as Ryan often puts it, as opposed to just two guys, neither of whom may be super-exciting or super-inspiring to voters.
It will also force what has been a difficult conversation that the country hasn't seemed to want to have and which President Obama hasn't seemed serious about initiating or advancing, but must have given our debt load. Either this forces Obama to come out with some actual ideas on that front, as opposed to gimmicky items like the "Buffett Rule," which would do almost nothing to reduce the deficit let alone the debt, or it exposes him as a lightweight in the substance and leadership stakes who is interested solely in self-advancement and the advancement of his clique of allies, friends and donors (as many of his critics have charged from day one).

Re: An eye opener for installing solar panels!
Wow I am amazed that article published so fast. My friend Bruce and Nigel were just working on this back in June. They also made some interesting comparisons between solar controllers which I assume will be another article coming out of that testing.
I have been harping on the proper placement of solar panels on boats for a loooong time. So many are poorly installed and result in very poor performance. It is good to see someone like Nigel weighing in as folks seem to listen to what he says.
Bottom line is this:
Poor locations:
Dodger, under boom, on boom etc. all = horrible locations for solar.
More Appropriate Locations:
Bimini top, stern davits, stern pole.
Even the slight shading from a backstay can literally cripple a panels performance...
Here's a quick video I made for a customer who was rather adamant he wanted his solar panel on top of the dodger under the boom.....

While I agree with you in principle, I will defend the Urals and their newer, higher costs.
Other than a few "minor" issues, it is not a sub-standard product. German made gears. Nippon-Denso alternator (770 watts, baby!!!). Keihin carbs. Brembo disc brake up front. Ducati ignition system.
And the #1 reason they can justify the higher price - they are the ONLY gig in town that makes motorcycles as sidecars from design to finish. With 2-wheel drive. And reverse.
The supply has always been lesser than the demand. To my knowledge, they haven't had problems selling every moto they've brought into the US of A.
Would I pay the additional price? Damn right I would.
Now...if they would just find some better paint...!

the company I work for is building a plant in russia, and the horror stories I am hearing from my co workers going there, you just wouldnt believe. the quality that they get in everyday goods is far less than the quality of the cheap chinese goods we get at walmart. having worked in the auto engineering field, I have a grasp of production costs, and I just cant justify any reason for the list price of a 2008 gear up to be as high as it is.
they are charging a super premium price for a sub-standard product.
