Wynn Las Vegas Unveils TULIPS by Jeff Koons
As part of the resort's continued commitment and appreciation of public art, Wynn Las Vegas unveils Tulips by Jeff Koons. Rendered in mirror-polished stainless steel and transparent color coating, Tulips will illuminate the Wynn Theater rotunda at Wynn Las Vegas.
"Many people believe that Jeff Koons is one of the most important living artists on canvas and in sculpture in the world today," said Wynn Resorts Chairman and CEO Steve Wynn. "I'm happy to be one of those people and particularly delighted to share with our guests his magnificent creation of the Tulips sculpture, which is now gracing the intersection of Wynn and Encore in our resort, near our showroom lobby. If you see them you will find the experience totally delicious."
The sculpture, Tulips, was acquired at auction in November 2012 for a price of $33,682,500. The legendary piece is the sculptural culmination of Koons' Celebration series. Created in five unique versions, Tulips is one of the largest and most complex sculptures in the series. The sculpture represents a bouquet of twisted balloon flowers, which have been cast in stainless steel and brought to a high mirror polish and plated in a vivid spectrum of color. The gleaming surface and vivid color palette of the sculpture reflect both the viewer and itself, resulting in a kaleidoscope of color and near infinite reflections. The sculpture creates the sensation of weightlessness but is paradoxically heavy, employing more than 3 tons of meticulously sculpted stainless steel.
The Celebration works explore the concept of child-like innocence and chart the landmarks of the passing year, in this instance: Spring. Koons' Tulips, while rooted in the long-standing tradition of floral still life, offers a modern interpretation and explores a range of concepts that are pertinent to the contemporary world. The medium is smooth and pristine, presenting the viewer with an image that appears to be simple and joyous. Under the surface, Koons explores themes such as life, death and sexuality. Tulips, which bloom for a short time, are conversely represented in the chosen medium, invoking durability, immortality and the endurance of our species.
"Tulips is a symbol of hope and the strength of life's energy," said Jeff Koons. "It reflects the viewer to affirm the viewer's existence. I am thrilled to be in the Wynn collection. Steve Wynn is known for collecting great works of Modern and Contemporary art so to be able to have my sculpture, Tulips, included in his collection has profound meaning to me."

Scientists: new study does not disprove climate change threat to AmazonJeremy Hance
March 19, 2010
Scientists' write that press release based on study was "misleading and inaccurate".
The study in question, published in Geophysical Research Letters, showed that the forests' level of 'greenness' had not changed during the 2005 year drought (see mongabay.com's original coverage of the study and press release: Amazon confusion: new research shows forest is resilient to drought, but is this the whole picture?). However it was not the study, but the press release, entitled 'New study debunks myths about Amazon rain forests', that has disturbed some of the world's most notable Amazon experts.

The researchers add that while the BU press release was inaccurate, the study it reports on has added "to our knowledge of Amazon forests". While a previous study had shown that the Amazon may have actually benefited from the 2005 drought, i.e. the forest was 'greener' than usual, the new study found no change in the forests 'greenness'.
However, the impact of drought should not only be measured by forest 'greenness'. To prove this the letters' experts cite a recent study that found a "large surge" in tree mortality in 2005 that was consistent with the results of two experiments showing tree mortality after rain reductions.
"These studies, published in some of the best peer—reviewed science journals, provide several consistent lines of evidence that the forests of the Amazon Basin are susceptible to small reductions in rainfall," the experts conclude, adding that drought also increases the susceptibility of the Amazonian rainforest to fire, citing fires in 2005 and in 1998 during another drought. Unlike temperate forests, fire is a rare occurrence in rainforests unless started by humans or, in this case, caused by rare droughts.
The scientists also used the letter to defend the findings of the 2007 IPCC report, which stated that 40 percent of the Amazon could become savanna due to climate change-exacerbated drought conditions.
Furthermore, the researchers note that while the IPCC report cites gray literature—a WWF report—rather than a research paper, the WWF report did not just pull its information out of thin air, but from research published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature.
The scientists say that the fact that climate change could 'flip' large portions of the Amazon, approximately 40 percent, into savannah, was not only accurately reflecting the research of the time, but "has been reinforced by new studies."
The letter is signed by: Daniel Nepstad, Woods Hole Research Center, USA, and Instituto de Pesquisa Ambiental da Amazonia, Brazil; Ane Alencar, Instituto de Pesquisa Ambiental da Amazonia, Brazil, and University of Florida, USA; Greg Asner, Carnegie Institute of Science, USA; Alessandro Baccini, Woods Hole Research Center, USA; Paulo Brando, Instituto de Pesquisa Ambiental da Amazonia, Brazil, & University of Florida, USA; Foster Brown, Woods Hole Research Center, USA & Universidade Federal do Acre, Brazil; Mercedes Bustamante, Universidade de Brasilia, Brazil; Eric Davidson, Woods Hole Research Center, USA; Scott Goetz, Woods Hole Research Center, USA; Richard Houghton, Woods Hole Research, USA; Michael Keller, National Ecological Observatory Network, USA; Simon Lewis, Leeds University, UK; Thomas Lovejoy, Heinz Center for Science, Economics and the Environment, USA; Patrick Meir, University of Edinburgh, UK; Paulo Moutinho, Instituto de Pesquisa Ambiental da Amazonia, Brazil, and Woods Hole Research Center, USA; Carlos Nobre, Centro de Previsao de Tempo e Clima—CPTEC, Brazil; Scott Ollinger, University of New Hampshire, USA; Oliver Phillips, Leeds University, UK; George Woodwell, Woods Hole Research Center, USA.

Amazon confusion: new research shows forest is resilient to drought, but is this the whole picture?
(03/15/2010) A drought that happens once in a hundred years had little negative or positive effect on the Amazon rainforest according to a NASA funded study in Geophysical Research Letters. "We found no big differences in the greenness level of these forests between drought and non-drought years, which suggests that these forests may be more tolerant of droughts than we previously thought," said Arindam Samanta, the study's lead author from Boston University.
The Amazongate fiasco
(02/03/2010) A claim published in the Sunday Times over the veracity of a statement published in an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report may land the British newspaper in hot water. On Sunday, Jonathan Leake, Science & Environment Editor of the Sunday Times, accused the IPCC of making a "bogus rainforest claim" when it cited a report warning that up to 40 percent of the Amazon could be "drastically" affected by climate change. Climate change skeptics immediately seized on "Amazongate" as further evidence to discredit the IPCC just two weeks after it was found to be using shoddy glacier data in its 2007 climate assessment.
Rainforest expert agrees with IPCC: warns of 'tipping point' for Amazon
(02/03/2010) Amid questions over the Amazon forests' capacity to survive climate change, a renowned tropical biologist says that in fact the fears are real, reports Tierramerica. Speaking at the Biodiversity Science Policy Conference in Paris, Thomas Lovejoy, biodiversity chair at the Washington DC-based Heinz Center for Science, Economics and the Environment, and chief biodiversity adviser to the president of the World Bank, described the Amazon rainforest as "very close to a tipping point".
Will tropical trees survive climate change?, an interview with Kenneth J. Feeley
(09/24/2009) One of the most pressing issues in the conservation today is how climate change will affect tropical ecosystems. The short answer is: we don't know. Because of this, more and more scientists are looking at the probable impacts of a warmer world on the Earth's most vibrant and biodiverse ecosystems. Kenneth J. Feeley, tropical ecologist and new professor at Florida International University and the Center for Tropical Plant Conservation at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, is conducting groundbreaking research in the tropical forests of Peru on the migration of tree species due to climate change.
Emissions from cerrado destruction in Brazil equal to emissions from Amazon deforestation
(09/15/2009) Damage to Brazil's vast cerrado grassland results in greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those produced by destruction of the Amazon rainforest, said Carlos Minc, the country's Environment Minister.
NASA images show huge drop in Amazon fires in 2008
(06/30/2009) New NASA research shows a sharp decline in the amount of smoke over the Amazon during the 2008 burning season, coinciding with a drop in deforestation reported last week by Carlos Minc, Brazil's Environment Minister. Analyzing the aerosol concentrations over the Amazon each September from the past four burning seasons using the Ozone Monitoring Instrument on NASA's Aura satellite, atmospheric scientist Omar Torres of Hampton University and several colleagues found a dramatic decline in airborne particular matter in 2008, indicating reduced incidence of fire in the region. Fire in the Amazon is primarily used by humans for land-clearing to establish cattle pasture, which now accounts for the vast majority of land-use change in the world's largest rainforest.
Amazon could lose 60% of forest without triggering catastrophic die-off, claims new study
(06/16/2009) Brazil's setting aside of more than 500,000 square miles (1.25 million square kilometers) of rainforest in protected areas over the past decade may effectively buffer the Amazon from the effects of climate change, preventing Earth's largest rainforest from tipping towards arid savanna in the face of ongoing deforestation and rising temperatures, argues a new paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Amazonian region likely to become savannah due to burning, deforestation
(03/31/2009) A new analysis shows that the heavily-deforested Amazonian region of Mato Grosso is particularly susceptible to 'savannization' due to repeated burning that has likely depleted the region's soils of precious nutrients. According to the study, published in the Journal of Geophyscial Research, savannization, or the process of tropical ecosystems shifting to savannah, is likely in northern Mato Grosso even if no further deforestation occurs.
Experts forecast probability of global warming tipping points
(03/16/2009) The probability of Earth's climate passing a "tipping point" that could result in large impacts within the next two centuries is greater than 50 percent, according to research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
85% of the Amazon rainforest may be lost due to global warming
(03/14/2009) Warming climate could decimate up to 85 percent of the Amazon rainforest by 2150, according to a new computer model.
Drought threatens the Amazon rainforest as a carbon sink
(03/05/2009) Drought in the Amazon is imperiling the rainforest ecosystem and global climate, reports new research published in Science. Analyzing the impact of the severe Amazon drought of 2005, a team of 68 researchers across 13 countries found evidence that rainfall-starved tropical forests lose massive amounts of carbon due to reduced plant growth and dying trees. The 2005 drought — triggered by warming in the tropical North Atlantic rather than el Niño — resulted in a net flux of 5 billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere — more than the combined annual emissions of Japan and Europe — relative to normal years when the Amazon is a net sink for 2 billion tons of CO2.
Amazon rainforest in big trouble, says UN
(02/19/2009) Economic development could doom the Amazon warns a comprehensive new report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The report — titled GEO Amazonia [PDF-21.3MB] — is largely a synthesis of previously published research, drawing upon studies by more than 150 experts in the eight countries that share the Amazon.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
I used Wynne, character that I won't say since it could ruin some story for some, Lelianna, and of course the MC.
So how I beat the Archdemon after 6 tries. My MC would use blood magic Blood Power, the barbarian yell. I'll have to look at what equipment I had all I know is he had the blood armor, a sword (with Enchantments...LOL I love the that kid. Enchantment? Enchantment!) and a shield.
Lelianna used the strongest bow and arrows I found. I would use her bard, and assassin skills with bow along with setting her up to use all her archer skills in tactics.
Other character I did nothing with they fought until they died.
Wynne would play healer and would use force field to protect. I would stay as her through most of the fight. Until the Archdemon loses half health.
After Archdemon jumped over to area that you can reach it. Lelianna would keep attacking it while other character tried to protect her and Wynne would heal and attack darkspawn. The MC use the large bow/arrows to hit it until it returned to an area I could attack it. After it came back over other character fell Lelianna ran out of bow and had to switch her over to sword and shield. Then played as MC until he jump onto the demon for the final blow. I used all my potions from healing to magic. I had over 200 of each potion.
I think I got lucky on beating it last night. I don't think I'll play it on hard. I got worked over playing this game on normal.
Well Morrigan pissed of Wynne and she died so i havn't even ever had Wynne.
Leliana only has 2 swords, i have Loghain (Crappy Alistair ripoff) and Shale.
Lets say we get pwned way to much. can't do any damage to that dragon and when he gets to around 1/4 hp left the darkspawn kill me easy (can't reach the ballista to stun the dragon and fight off all the darkspawn solo with just my MC because all the other characters die and none of the army units are useful enough to help >_<
Hmmm....well unless Morrigan has healing skills you might want to bring down the difficulty to Casual. If you already have it down and only healing potions then you might be S.O.L. I had to micromanage my healer more than anything in the game and I had to change the default setting so all my people followed me and attacked what I attack. The moment they went off and did something stupid I lost. I spent more time starring at the health on the left side of the screen then the game.
I see you got Loghain too. I thought I was doing a good deed by getting everyone to work together, well my next game play I will not be that nice. I liked Alistair.
When the darkspawn showed up I made sure they all died before I continued my attack on the demon. I had no problem with the darkspawn because most of my weapons had a +10 VS darkspawn so one hit would kill them.
i already one hit the Darkspawn besides Alphas and the dragon keeps wacking me even though i got dwarves swarming around him so im getting all this damage done to me while im killing Darkspawn >_> SOLO
I AM on casual thats what so embrassing. I know what you mean by Loghain to = ( and Morrigan left to because i didn't get Loghain to do the deed >_> so im stuck with
No bloody mages left!
You need mages, mages are OP.
Actually, you need Wynne, Wynne is OP. She never runs out of mana with Vessel of the Spirit + Spellbloom/Mass Rejuv, and to top it of I picked them on Morrigan too just in case I'd need it, turns out I don't.
Since she can outheal everything (With Alistair decked out and tank specced anyways) and never run out of mana, I never die.
But yeah, this is on the default setting, normal I think?
One. Wynne saw Morrigan, Wynne got Pissed, Wynne got her ass handed to her. No more Wynne
Two. Morrigan got piseed at me for not having her babies. She left
Three. Alistair got pissed because Loghain became all good. He left. Bastard
Four. I can't be stuffed going ALL the way back to my Orzamarr save to start this crap over
WOW! Not a single mage...I can see where you're having problems.
I was dating Morrigan when I met Wynne and told her everything would be ok. Then gave Morrigan her kid and told her I'd look for her later. Then I though I would have the perfect peace. Alistair would marry and Loghain would be spared...well he said no to the marriage then he said HELL NO to sparring Loghain.
Anyway I'll have to play with that scenario to see if I can help. I looked up other blogs to see if anyone else had the same scenario and so far that's a no. So I'll be the fool and mimic your story, and see if I can win without any mages.
its my character that looks awesome aswell = ( i don't want to have to remake her!
I didn't give Morrigan her kid and that made her leave, Alistair refused to marry and to save Loghain and pissed off so the characters that i had put my heart and soul into left me within the space of 5 minutes along with all the good gear. Bastards
I put it aside for a few days to play Modern Warfare, also i was dreaming about this game in an unhealthy fashion. So I gave it some rest.
But even still, I find myself going: Enchantment? Enchantment!
My lord that boy is a hero.

Brazilian low-cost carrier expects to expand its international codeshare partnership with Delta Air Lines down the road, as it says it has been "very satisfied" with the deal so far.
"It does bring money to the table," Gol's chief financial officer Edmar Lopes says today in a call to discuss the airline's September performance.
Gol and Delta implemented an expanded codeshare agreement from May. The US Department of Transportation (DOT) had approved a request by the two airlines for an expanded codeshare, covering Delta's flights between Brazil and the USA, within the USA and to third countries beyond the USA. The deal also covered Gol's flights between Brazil and the USA.
Lopes says the airline sees an "increase down the road" when it comes to codesharing with Delta, adding that this will depend on several factors such as the macroeconomic environment and the airline's competitors.
The carrier is also taking a cautious approach towards expanding its international operations. "We've been telling the market we will go step by step," says Lopes.
Gol launched flights to Santo Domingo, Miami and Orlando in end-2012, adding its first flights outside Latin America.

After a few delays and a lot of built up anticipation, we were ready and excited to finally greet the road. The house was sold and my belongings were either donated or traded for some shiny quarters. It was sad to part with the past eleven years of my life, but it was also liberating.
Being accustomed to comfort, convenience and close relationships with my friends and family, it will take some adjusting to this new lifestyle. I will miss many things and people, but the toughest thing I am currently dealing with is being separated from my cats. I cant yet forgive myself for leaving them. Mama is 16 years old and Belle is 11. Although they are safe and being well taken care of by my mom and brother, I hope they will be ok for the next few years.
August 20th, 2011 was day 1 of our adventure. We packed up our gear, exchanged hugs with loved ones and rode through Hamilton one last time until we return.
Good ol Hamilton is where this adventure was born. With a population of half a million, it is just the right size for comfort. Known as Steel Town, Hamilton is an industrial city located in southern Ontario at the center of the golden horseshoe. With an escarpment separating the upper and lower parts, it is also known for having over one hundred waterfalls.
From Hamilton, we headed north to visit with Rockys dad. The weather was beautiful and traffic was flowing for the first few hours, but the roads quickly became congested with vehicles and clouds began to turn the skies grey. It didnt take long before we got hit with a lot of rain. We chose not to stop and we continued north until the skies cleared. The ride wasnt as bad as I imagined it could be, but my butt was definitely sore.
Larder lake is a really small town with less than 1000 people. We arrived with just enough sunlight to catch a glimpse of its beauty. *Rockys dad, Conrad, and his wife, Lorrain, have property that faces the lake. The view is perfect after a long day. We were spoiled with our own apartment above Conrads garage and we stayed a few days to spend some time with him. I now know where Rocky gets his charm from.
Three nights and many beers and cigarettes later, we awoke to dark clouds and packed up to ride towards Timmins, Ontario. We went on route to visit with more of Rockys Family. His cousin Brandon had offered us a place to stay for the night, and Brandons wife Tracey prepared a yummy dinner. Wine, candy and a lot of laughs made for a great night. It is a short but sweet visit in Timmins.
On August 24th, we spent a long day on the road. We saw many gold mines, forests and lakes. The roads were busy with construction and trucks, but I always enjoyed when a truck full of freshly cut lumber left its scent. We rode towards Lake Superior and set up the tent near the waters edge. Our first night in our new home was beautifully located, and the thunder helped me to sleep at night. The following day we prepared for another long ride along Lake Superior. We now regret rushing to make up distance because we didnt take any pictures of the stunning scenery. Ontario, yours to discover!
The following day, we made a trip to the university Rocky went to, and took a break for a couple of hours to wash and shower at the recreation center before getting back on the road. By sunset, we reached a town called Ignace and set up the tent on the side of the road. I have to admit, I didnt want to set up camp there. It was beside a motel truck stop on a small patch of tall grass under a street light. It was an odd and random place, but I slept well.
Having planned and thought about this trip for so long, the anticipation had me wishing that time would somehow speed up so that I could finally realize this journey that had lived inside my head for all that time. In the month or so leading up to our departure date, there was still so much to do that I found myself needing more time to ready ourselves for the trip.
Our original departure date was set for July 23rd, but delays in selling Paulas house and getting my full M motorcycle license set us back about one month. This was somewhat frustrating, but, at the same time, was a bit of a relief. The delay allowed us to better prepare, tie up all loose ends and spend more time with Mama and Belle, and our families and friends.
Our date of departure finally arrived, and we set off from my mothers house on Kitty Murray Lane in Ancaster, Ontario.
We said good-bye to our families and finally hit the open road. The weather, heading off, was warm and sunny. My motorcycle, Almeida, and I were not accustomed to riding with so much weight. Halfway between Toronto and Barrie, the traffic came to a stall, and was stop-and-go for about, what seemed like, two hours. When it finally broke, we were hit by a torrential downpour. We rode through the rain and the sun finally broke through the clouds as we rode into North Bay. Shortly after leaving North Bay, a bird, flying up from the center of the road, met my forearm and its demise. 656km later, Paula, Almeida and I pulled into my fathers driveway just as the sun was setting. It was nice to arrive after my longest day ever on the bike. All three of us welcomed a good rest.
We spent three nights with my father and his wife. For one reason or another, my father hadnt been around for much of my life. During these three days, I felt that I got to know more of my father than I did in the first 33 years of my life.
Our next destination was Timmins, Ontario to stay the night with my cousin, Brandon and his wife, Tracy. It was a short ride of roughly 150km, with a brief stop at a bike shop in Kirkland Lake, where Adam, a mechanic at Northern Freedom, helped us changed our clutch oil. That evening, we had dinner and wine with my cousin, his wife, my Aunt Marianne and her husband, Jean.
We left Timmins the next morning to try to make up some distance. Over the next few days, we stopped in Marathon and Ignace, Ontario and, for the first time with no place to stay, we had to find spots to pitch our tent.
Heading out of Ontario, I was a bit disappointed that I hadnt gotten out my camera much to take photos of the scenery. This was, in part, because I had been trying to make up some time and distance and, trying to get use to the riding, needed to concentrate much on the road.
Our next stop: Alberta.

Paula and I were in the day before we left to pick up some Rotopax. We haven't had to use them yet, but, given the tank range of the 990, I'm guessing they will come in handy.

On August 26th we crossed from Ontario into Friendly Manitoba. It was strange riding from thick forest, smelling of pine and cedar, to flat grassland, filled with the aroma of hay and manure. It was a nice change of scenery, but strange because it was so immediate upon crossing the Ontario-Manitoba border. We rode into Winnipeg, set up camp in Assiniboine Park, and, the following day, we rode out of Manitoba and into Saskatchewan.
Naturally Saskatchewan looks a lot like Manitoba with many acres of farm land, checkered in all shades of green and gold. We found a great place in Wascana Park to set up the tent and spent the night in Regina, the provinces capital. Saskatchewan is very pretty and, as we rode away the following day, the land began to show its beautiful curves.
When we got to Medicine Hat, Alberta. We stopped to meet Piet and Ina, a couple we met on the website .
Unsure of what to expect because the experience was our first, we were comforted by a warm, kind welcome and invited to join them and other guests for dinner. They prepared a feast and introduced us to their son Josh, his beautiful wife Amy and a pair of musicians who were also staying over. Piet and Ina enjoy having concerts at their home and had planned to have one the following night. Romi Mayes and Jason Nowicki would be performing and we were invited to stay another night. With a full belly, a comfortable bed, a few drinks and great company, how could we possibly say no¡ In the morning, we decided to explore Medicine Hat and its sloping valleys, by evening we were ready to party. The concert was amazing! Romi and Jason are great people and performers. At midnight, the group of them serenaded me with happy birthday and passed around some cake, it was a perfect way to turn thirty two. To say the least, Piet and Ina are incredible beings. Even with such an amazing trip ahead, we were sad to part from our new friends.
Our final night in Ontario was spent camped out next to the highway. We parked and set up next to a truck stop restaurant and hotel at the side of the gravel shoulder on a nice patch of tall grass. It seemed, at the time, like a logical place to pitch a tent.
Passing into Manitoba the next day, there was an abrupt change of landscape. The long, straight stretches of highway of Manitoba were a welcome change.
Not having had a proper shower for several days, we decided to give CouchSurfing a try instead of tenting out another night. CouchSurfing is a worldwide network for making connections between travellers and the local communities they visit. It is a social network of people who offer travellers a couch or spare bedroom for a night or two. We were contacted by a guy in Winnipeg and were offered a spare room for the night. As we got closer to the city later in the day, we received a text message from him explaining that he had to cancel. This left us having to find a place to stealth camp for the night. We pulled onto the University of Winnipeg campus in the hopes of finding some sort of locker room shower in the campus rec center and a place to pitch our tent, but we were disappointed. We werent able to find accessible showers, and all the security cameras on campus didnt make it a viable option for hiding out over night.
Slightly more hungry than we were tired, we decided to grab a bite to eat and weigh our options. Looking on the GPS, we found a large park in the middle of Winnipeg. This seemed to be a safe bet. We drove over to Assiniboine Park to find hundreds of people gathered with their kids for, what we later learned to be, Friday movie night in the park. We set up our tent in an inconspicuous location, unpacked the bike and settled in the the night. We even managed to snag an unsecured WiFi connection!
The next day was a pretty steady and uneventful day of riding, though finding premium fuel proved to be a bit difficult. Gas stations were few and far between, and many of the ones we stopped at didnt have anything higher than an 87 octane.
We spent that evening camped out in the central park in Regina, Saskatchewan, pulling in at dusk, setting up the tent, and riding off early the next morning.
Still in need of a shower and not yet brave enough to jump into rivers or lakes to bathe, we decided to give CouchSurfing another try. Paula contacted an older couple in Medicine Hat, Alberta who said that they would be able to host us. We pulled into town just after 5pm and were greeted by Piet and Ina. They offered us their shower and laundry room, and we graciously and anxiously accepted. After washing up, we were treated to wine and cheese, followed by a delicious supper where we were joined by Romi Mayes and Jason Nowicki, a Canadian music duo who would be performing the following evening in Piet and Inas garage. Piet and Ina suggested that we stay an extra night to watch the performance, and, without giving it a second though, we accepted.
We spent part of the next day exploring the town and working on trying to get a blog post ready. Evening came and it was time for the show to begin. The opening act went on and, about an hour later, Romi and Jason took the stage only to find out that neither of Romis guitars were functioning properly. While everyone waited for a replacement guitar to arrive, I tried re-soldering the wires in the guitar to see if the issue was due to a failed electrical connection. This didnt solve the problem. The replacement guitar arrived, and soon Romi and Jason were rocking out. They put on a great show.
Morning came, we packed our belongings onto the bike, and said our good-byes to our new friends, Piet and Ina. We said our good-byes to Romi and Jason the night before. Rock stars dont wake up before noon.
We pulled out of Medicine Hat and headed for Calgary.

I have to ask...
Why premium gas? Is that required by the bike, won't it run on lower octane? I mean you are likely to have a very hard time finding that stuff in Central and South America.
Also very impressed that you managed to put up a tent in a public park! The cops in the USA would run you out faster than you could blink!

My wife and I met you two in a coffee/ice cream shop in Banff on 09/01/11. We were the senior couple riding the BMW R1200RT. I looked you up on this Site and checked out your itinerary when we arrived at our daughters apartment in Puyallup,Washington.What you guys have planned is amazing and we wish you all the luck in the world.We are experienced travelers ( by paved road and motel) and know how grueling two up traveling on a bike is. After 15 days out (riding 12 days) we arrived home in Southern California after covering 5,000 miles. I have to admit that if I were 27 years younger I would be in better physical shape but I (we) would not have been in a position ( kids and careers) to have even contemplated such a journey. In closing,you two are special.God be with you

We've been in the USA for a few weeks, and managed to stealth camp successfully, for the most part. We pulled into Bend, Oregon last night at dusk, and found, what looked like, an abandoned parking lot. Apparently there was a security officer who came on site in the evening, saw the tent and called the police. Two officers showed up at around 10:30 pm. They explained that the owner of the lot had been having problems with vagrants, which is why they were called. The officers didn't care if we stayed there overnight, but had to get the permission of the lot owner. Everything was OK, and we were able to stay the night. We're just making our way out of Bend now.
We haven't had a blog post in a while, so we're going to try to get an update within the next few days.

UFC's Gilbert Melendez says he took 'foot off the gas' but thought he still won | News
"I thought I won the first two and fifth, for sure," Melendez said after his UFC on FOX 7 loss to lightweight champ Benson Henderson (19-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC). "I took my foot off the gas a little bit after the second. The third was close, but I thought I came strong. I thought it was going to come down to the last round, and I thought I won the last round."
UFC on FOX 7 took place Saturday night in San Jose, Calif. Melendez lost the headlining matchup by split decision.
MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps) actually agreed with Melendez, awarding him the first, second and fifth rounds for a 48-47 win. However, the entire fight was closely contested, and a split-decision result was rather unsurprising."That's my own fault, but I totally felt like I turned it up in the fifth, and I thought I won that," Melendez said. "But took my foot off the gas. He adjusted pretty well, as well.
"I'm just happy to be working for these guys. This is what I've been waiting for my whole career. I've just got to look at it as this is a dream come true just to be here right now."

While running or while doing physical activities, I could watch or listen to music. The technology today, the mobile apps, are helpful for all ages who like to play games, to stay connected with their friends," Jessy adds.

Eight rangers, soldiers killed in Virunga National ParkJeremy Hance
January 25, 2011
Located in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Virunga National Park is no stranger to conflict. In the past 15 years, the park has lost over 130 wildlife rangers to clashes with rebels and government soldiers using the park as a staging ground. According to the DRC's wildlife agency, ICCN, the attack was likely in retaliation for the destruction of two FDLR camps in the park by wildlife rangers last month.
Home to a quarter of the world's mountain gorillas, as well as chimpanzees, hippos, lions, forest elephants, and rare birds, Virunga National Park is one of Africa's most biodiverse parks and is classified by the UN as a World Heritage Site.
Recently, Virunga National Park made headlines due to plans by oil companies to begin exploration in the park. A spokesperson for one of the oil companies stated that the companies could bolster security in the park, but conservation organizations and the UN have condemned the plan to drill in the park.
"The eight rangers will be buried at Mai ya Moto, our burial site where we honor those who have died in our efforts to protect the park. Our thoughts are with the families of the deceased and with the wounded in hospital," the official website of Virunga National Park said in an announcement.

There is a misconception where Islamic websites and people use the word "Ishraq" and then give timings for actual Sunrise. Praying at sunrise is forbidden and must be performed after at least 10 minutes of sunrise. iPray for this reason adds 10 minutes to sunrise and labels it correctly as "Ishraaq".
* Alerts will ONLY alert you with an initial Takbir. The full azan (and its length) is NOT supported by the iOS alert mechanism as there is a maximum limit of 30 seconds of audio playback.

The trick might be too great even for Duke coach John Danowski to pull off this season.
The Blue Devils (3-4) are notorious for being slow starters and rallying at the end of the season to participate in the NCAA tournament, but that might not happen this year. Even with Duke's 9-8 upset win over No. 4 Loyola on Friday, the hole might still be too deep.

No quarter given
Wigan and St Helens may have already made the play-offs but neither will give an inch on Friday, says Stevo.
Last Updated: 06/09/12 4:18pm
Well this is it. The final round and who will take that final place? Will Bradford defy all the odds and or will Wakefield hang on to it.
I really cannot see Bradford going to Catalans and winning, especially after that drubbing at the hands of Hull. They completely collapsed and I think they made a huge mistake by announcing that the club was safe before the game. I think that they should have waited until after the game, the club has been battling through adversity for so long that I think when they finally found out that they were safe there was a huge sigh of relief that may have left them slightly deflated.
Mick Potter has a great job but I cannot see him putting this side back together for their trip to Catalans. There is also a lot of talk about Potter being coach of the year - I totally disagree with that. You have to admire him for doing the job without being paid and under some very trying circumstances, however you have to use a bit of common sense here. What about Wigan coach Sean Wane? In his first season as coach he has taken the Warriors to the top of the table and won them some silverware. If Warrington make the Grand Final then you have to say Tony Smith has a great chance. Then there is Mike Rush and Richard Agar. Realistically can you really say that Mick Potter has been the best coach of the season?
I cannot see Catalans throwing this one away. They will be aiming to finish third and if they beat Bradford and Wigan beat Saints then they will take third!
The Wigan v St Helens game should be a cracking game, I am really looking forward to this clash. It is amazing to think that these two sides could meet three times in a row!
Wigan of course will have the club call where they get to choose who they play next and I can't see them picking Saints! Derbies are always close and they can go anyway so I can see Wigan avoiding Saints for as long as possible.
Saints will fancy their chances on Friday night - they will take some hope from Hull KR's start against Wigan last weekend where they were leading 26-0 at one point. Great credit to Wigan to comeback which shows that they have guts and determination, but Saints will have learnt a thing or two from that game.
However saying that so have Wigan! They never gave up and they will be extremely proud of that performance and their never say die attitude.
St Helens have made the last six Grand Finals - okay they have only won one of them, but they know how to put it all together and will start their run to the final against Wigan.
Some people are saying that Wigan will lie down and let Saints win - some people live in a dream world! Wigan will give it their all, especially as they will be awarded the league leaders trophy at the end of the game - they will not want to collect that after a loss to their fiercest enemies.
STAR MAN: Thomas Leuluai is back for Wigan and he will be a massive boost. He has been out with that bad injury for so long and many thought he would not be returning. His comeback makes them an even better side and I expect him to really put in a big performance.
STEVO SAYS: I would not be surprised if either side won - I think Wigan may just have the edge but it could even be a draw!
