Alumni Friday: William Rugen
William Rugen attended the RMSP Career Training program in 2005. William's perspective on the world had led to a fantastic photographic commentary on life. For the past few years he has been dedicated to several personal projects that are pretty interesting and have been catching peoples attention. His Consumed project documents everything he ate over a year. The website is definitely worth a look and in itself is an experience. John Keatley, a Seattle based photographer, has a great post on his blog about William's Consumed Catalog.
William's other projects such as Western Dioramas, New Botanicals and Fair Judgement are also a fascinating combination of landscapes and life: lifescapes. His work has been exhibited in several galleries across the country. Just last night had an opening at the Core Gallery in Seattle. In addition to being dedicated to his own art, William works as a photographer's assistant in the Seattle commercial market. To see more of his work, check out his website and blog.

Bill I love the photo that you submitted. It is so inspiring to see where you have taken yourself and your ideas. I will always remember the series you created here too. I will never look at plastic toys the same again. Thanks so much for sharing your work!

BELLWOOD - Moshannon Valley's experienced upperweights will win a lot of bouts and score a lot of bonus points this season.
So when the pre-match weight selection came at 170, it made Mo Valley first-year coach Justin Fye very happy.
The Black Knights swept the first five weights with four pins and a forfeit win to amass a 30-0 lead. The short

handed Blue Devils did their best to come back in the lighter weights, but the strong start carried the Knights to a 48-30 win Tuesday night.
"There were a couple guys on Saturday [at the Blairsville Duals, where the Knights went 4-1] that didn't wrestle their best," Fye said, "and they knew that. Once we knew what weight we were starting at, we talked about setting the tone, and they definitely set the tone. They came out hard and wrestling for pins."
"They have a lot of experienced kids, and we have a lot of very inexperienced kids," B-A coach Ron Wilson said after his team's dual meet debut. "We just have to be patient and see what we can get them to by the end of the year."
The match lasted only a half an hour because all nine bouts that were wrestled ended in falls. There were four forfeits (three given up by B-A) and a no bout at 106 in the other five.
"That was pretty much the night - pin or be pinned," Wilson said.
After MV's Tyler Martin won by forfeit at 170 to begin the meet, sophomore 182-pounder Kent Stewart built an 11-3 lead on Matt Jenkins before Jenkins took him down to his back for five points. Stewart, however, escaped, took Jenkins down and pinned him in 2:50.
"Kent will give you 150 percent all day long," Fye said. "I told him 'I haven't seen you actually wrestle like yourself yet. Go out and do it.' He kind of got stuck in a bad position, but he was being aggressive. He had some great takedowns and he finished it off."
James Stodart pinned Keith Shawley in 1:07 at 195, and 220-pounder Jake Ludwig headlocked Kyler Maceno to his back and pinned him in 33 seconds. Jack Bunnell followed with a pin of Alec Bowers in 35 seconds at 285.
B-A 113-pounder Kyle Fink stopped Mo Valley's run by cradling Bill Bryan to his back and getting the pin in 1:36.
After Mo Valley's Andrew Ohler won by forfeit at 120, B-A's Jared Woomer, who took sixth at the Southwest Regional last year, built a 12-0 lead on Bryce Bloom before hitting a cement job. The end came in 2:37.
A forfeit win by Mo Valley's Dylan Fudalski at 132 was followed by the longest bout of the night at 138. B-A's Nick Torsell built an 8-1 lead on Michael Selvage before putting Selvage on his back and getting the fall in 5:03.
"He was aggressive," Wilson said. "He wrestled real nice this past weekend [at the Conemaugh Township Tournament]. He's going to make some big strides as the season goes on."
Fye moved Jhett Wilks up to 152 and forfeited to Trevor Helsley at 145. The result was B-A's Cameron Astore pinning Wilks in 1:16.
"Our 145-pounder hasn't been wrestling a long time," Fye said. "I didn't want to put him out against Helsley because he's pretty tough."
Mo Valley's Tanner Dipko moved up to 160 and pinned Corey Campbell in 42 seconds to close the meet.
"We knew they would have some good guys through the middle weights," Fye said. "I'll give it up to Coach Wilson. Their kids wrestled hard. They were out there trying to win just like we were trying to win.
"Our goal is to go 4-0 this week. The guys are wrestling hard. We have three good, hard days of practice to get ready for this weekend [at the Everett Duals). If they keep working hard, I think our team is only going to get better. I was very happy with how we did."

Traditional NW Townhome
This classic contemporary Townhouse in Portland had really nice architectural details, lots of wooden windows, etc but the space was both dark and needed some custom dual track draperies to add privacy from the next town home right outside.
The clients had planned to upgrade all the lighting systems to add "layers of light" for overall ambience as well as Task and Decorative options. Next, we created a Color plan for the entire unit, some entry rugs for traffic and are now working on the Interior Design Plan for pulling it all together.

- died
November 25, 2013
Oralia Domínguez, (born Oct. 25, 1925, San Luis Potosí, Mex.—died Nov. 25, 2013, Milan, Italy) Mexican opera singer who captivated audiences with her rich mezzo-soprano voice and vibrant personality. She was especially memorable in humorous or character roles, such as Mistress Quickly in Giuseppe Verdi's Falstaff, a part that she reprised throughout her career. Domínguez studied at the National Conservatory in Mexico City, and by 1950 she was singing with that city's opera company, notably in a 1951 appearance as Amneris in a performance of Verdi's Aïda starring American diva Maria Callas. Domínguez's European debut (1953) at Wigmore Hall in London was well received, and later that year she appeared at Milan's La Scala as Princess de Bouillon in Francesco Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur. She originated the role of Sosostris in Sir Michael Tippett's The Midsummer Marriage (1955), navigating the dense, challenging libretto without any prior knowledge of English. Domínguez was also well known for her work as a soloist in Verdi's Requiem, which became a signature piece and was featured at her farewell concert in Mexico City in 1982.

If you don't know Sierra already, you've probably been living under the rock, hehe. :) Personally, I find Sierra the hottest BigNaturals model! I'd love to enjoy boob fuck orgy with her a lot. So, busty teen decided to take riding lessons. Needless to say, a few moments later, her huge melons were pleasing instructor's shaft. It's a fun movie filled with tons of busty action and phat pussy reaming moments. I highly recommend getting it at BigNaturals. What's amazing about joining this site is, that you are getting access to the famous Reality Kings network along with it! Trust me, it's an amazing deal! :)

Project Coin: Week 1 Update
By Darcy-Oracle on Mar 06, 2009
In its first week, Project Coin enjoyed a vigorous start with well over a dozen proposals submitted:
Strings in switch, Joe Darcy
Block Expressions for Java, Neal Gafter
Improved Exception Handling for Java , Neal Gafter
Automatic Resource Management, Josh Bloch
Improved Type Inference for Generic Instance Creation, Jeremy Manson
Improved Wildcard Syntax for Java, Neal Gafter
Multiline strings, latest revision, Ruslan Shevchenko
Use "default" keyword for default visibility, updated to use "package" instead, Adrian Kuhn
Elvis and Other Null-Safe Operators, Written by Neal Gafter and submitted by Stephen Colebourne
Simple Resource Clean-up, Roger Hernandez
Import Aliases for Classes and Static Methods, Phil Varner
Lightweight Properties, David Goodenough
'This' type, Marek Kozieł
Static Methods in Interfaces, Reinier Zwitserloot
fold keyword, Gabriel Belingueres
Multiple switch expressions and case ranges, Pinku Surana
Simplified Varargs Method Invocation, Bob Lee
Traffic on the the list has been high, with lots of feedback and analysis leading to some revised proposals.
A few general comments on the proposals that have been sent in so far to help refine those proposals and improve future proposals before they are sent in.
The proposals submitted to Project Coin should already be well thought-through. The goal is to have in short order specifications approaching JLS quality, preferably with a prototype to help validate the design. The feedback on the list should be much closer to finding and illuminating any remaining dark corners of a proposal rather than fleshing out its basic structure. If a proposal does not cite chapter and verse of the JLS for parts of its specification, that is a good indication the proposal is too vague. All affected sections of the JLS should be listed, including binary compatibility and the flow analysis in definite assignment.
It is fine if someone posts to the list to solicit help writing a proposal for a given change.
Proposal writers should be aware of the size and scope parameters established for the project; for background see:
Also, proposal writers should search Sun's bug database for bugs related to the change. The URL for the database is http://bugs.sun.com; Java specification issues are in category Java SE and subcategory specification. Of course the database is also searchable with your favorite search engine restricted to that site. Besides the evaluation field from the bug database, the external comment can often also have valuable insight into and discussion of alternatives to solving the problem or reasons why the problem shouldn't be solved.
As has already been happening on the list, authors and advocates of a proposal are responsible for responding to feedback and incorporating changes into any subsequent iterations of the proposal. For now, I think it is adequate to just send the revised proposals to the list. Only if there turns out to be frequent change would a more formal tracking system be warranted. Keeping such discussions on the list is important both to allow easy, centralized tracking of the proposal drafts and also for future language archaeologists who are curious about why a particular decision was made.
After a few iterations of feedback and refinements, the specification and compilation strategy should be sufficiently detailed to provide high-confidence that the proposal is practical and can be reduced to practice. For example, I think the initial proposal for the admittedly simple strings in switch change provides adequate detail on these fronts.

Ancient God Of Fire Sculpture Discovered At Teotihuacan Pyramid
Category: Media & Culture
/ Feb 14, 2013 4:19PM EDT
Mexican archaeologists have uncovered a sculpture of Huehueteotl, the God of Fire, on top of the towering Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, as well as two complete monoliths in green stone and the fragment of another, which could have decorated the temple of this pyramid 1,500 years ago. The soaring Teotihuacan stone pyramids, now a major tourist site about an hour outside Mexico City, were discovered by the ancient Aztecs around 1500 AD, not long before the arrival of Spanish explorers to Mexico. But little is known about the civilization that built the immense city, with its ceremonial architecture and geometric temples, and then torched and abandoned it around 700 AD. The monuments - found at 66 metres (216 feet) above the ground - are the largest ever found at the site as archaeologists look for clues about the mysterious collapse of one of ancient civilization's largest cities. Archaeologists said they found the pieces inside a grave measuring four metres wide (13 feet), 17 metres (55 feet) long and five metres (16 feet) deep. "We identified we were dealing with a pillaged grave. When we continued to excavate, we found several objects such as a block of green stone, a sculpture representing a large sized old god, atypical to those found here in Teotihuacan and a green-stone monolith, we call stele, 5 meters (16 feet) deep inside the pillaged grave, those were some of the pieces and sculptures we found," said archaeologist, Nelly Zoe Nunez Rendon. The temple which stood on top of the pyramid was destroyed by the people who inhabited the city, later dubbed "The Place Where Men Become Gods" by the Aztecs who believed it was a divine site. Nevertheless some objects - like the monoliths were left there. Archaeologists believe the grave was excavated during pre-Hispanic times. "The temple was destroyed by the Teotihuacans at the end of the fifth century, at the start of the sixth. They destroyed the temple, but left the architectural elements, they even ignored them. We suppose, they looked for the offering, there was also an offering on top of public buildings. We think the grave intended to discredit the offering," said archaeologist, Alejandro Sarabia. With the passing of time, the pieces which had been left in situ fell inside a hole and remained there for centuries. These new excavations could be the key to unlocking information about the sacred rituals of the people who lived there. The discovery of the sculpture of Huehueteotl, the God of Fire, found 75 percent complete weighs about 190 kilos (418 pounds) and 58 cms (22 inches) in height, indicates the Pyramid of the Sun could have been used to carry out rituals dedicated to fire at the end of calendar cycles. Teotihuacan is Mexico's oldest major archaeological site and during its heyday in 500 AD, the city was home to some 200,000 people, rivalling the size of ancient Rome at that time, according to archaeologists. Today, it is surrounded by encroaching slums spilling over from the outskirts of Mexico City, but swarms of tourists still visit the giant 212-foot (65-meter) sun pyramid each year to celebrate the spring equinox festival marking the sun's return to the northern hemisphere.

Kerry Washington, Darby Stanchfield (AKA Abby), and Katie Lowes (AKA Quinn) attended the gala and they looked pretty darn good. Kerry rocked a black Jason Wu gown and looked, as usual, like a total barbie doll in the face. Lance Bass was also in attendance with boyfriend Michael Turchin. Peep the gallery for more!0

QUOTE (Shoreline @ March 1, 2010 - 02:04PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I find this hilariously ironic given there were a few Canadians saying this after the US prelim win over Canada. Interesting when, as I mentioned before, the tables are turned.
?What? Canadians saying the US roster was far better? No way. Conventional Wisdom had Canda competing int he Gold MEdal game while the US would be lucky to compete for the Bronze medal game.

The Tech geniuses at Cuttlefish U. tell me my desktop computer is a total loss. Which would not be a problem (I have an external drive dedicated as a Time Machine backup) except that my external drive is also now a paperweight. The computer is nine years old, more or less, which means it is older than Cuttlefish is (more or less), and has files I don't remember writing. Much of what is there has been backed up multiple times… but if it is like every computer disaster I have known, there will be one or two things that I discover some time next month or next year that cannot be replaced, that I just lost.
Last time this happened, I was moving offices, and a case of notes I had held back (so as not to be lost in the move) was thrown away. They were what might, by now, have been a book (and no, not a book of verse). This time, I have much more of it backed up here and there. It will likely be a month or two before I discover I have lost some irreplaceable file.
But… (and this is my point)… I just lost a lot of data that I thought I had backed up. In fact, I just lost a lot of data that I *had* had backed up. So… back up your data twice. Be redundant. Burn a disk or two or seventeen, as well as that backup hard drive. Or that cloud thingy really I don't actually understand or trust.
And… What's the worst you have ever lost this way? Testify, so that others may learn from your losses!

Frequent Flyer Miles as Company Scrip: Implications on Taxation
Jeffrey A. Mankin
Lipscomb University - Department of Accounting, Finance & Economics
Jeffrey Jay Jewell
Lipscomb University
April 8, 2014
Business Studies Journal, 7(1)
Frequent flyer programs encourage airline brand loyalty by customers. These popular programs have been the subjects of much discussion on whether or not the frequent flyer miles received by customers are taxable. Although many scholars favor taxing the miles, we propose that there are considerable problems of timing and valuation. Therefore, the frequent flyer miles should not be taxed.

Tribal Boogie
Communications professional, Paul Sutton, sees today's consumer as inhabiting a number of virtual tribes. Through some exceptional observations Paul conveys thoughts aimed to penetrate the 'artificial firewalls' erected by us, the 'clans'. It's cracking stuff. So boogie.

The Cube
Gemma Went, comms director of integrated agency, Red Cube Marketing, is the orchestrator behind this corporate spin-off and makes the cut due to Gemma's commitment to social engagement – the essence of blogging. Follow for news on marketing, social media, pr, design, architecture and creative.
Unleashed on Marketing
Gary Bembridge offers his forthright opinion on the world of marketing, advertising and PR. A recent post entitled: "Interaction. Transaction. Research. Entertainment" could easily be a metaphor for the blog itself. Very good podcast output.
Modern Marketing
Wonderfully entwined consumer and corporate observations from James Cherkoff transcend a variety of marketing inclusions: brand, advertising, social media – and more besides. In 2007 James was named a Thought-Leader in Research Magazine's '50 To Watch'. And he hasn't lost his touch.

And often a communications blog. And sometimes a media blog. Or a social media blog. And the odd bit of design. And culture." So there you have it.
Affiliate Marketing Blog
Yep, this is a niche one and the Clarke Duncan's writing pretty much reflects the random inclusion of his blog. But when you are introduced to observational pieces like "Jason Manford Could Be An Affiliate" you'll understand the inclusion. Indeed, Mr Manford would appreciate the musings.
Nick Burcher
Nick's blog (surname not required, surely!) looks as though someone has collected a pot full of paint, tipped it down a cannon, lit the fuse and fled – leaving the reader with a graffiti wall of blogging art. It's rough, raw and ragged but that's it's draw.
Ste Davies (formally PRBlogger)
Stephen Davies is a self-proclaimed 'gun-for-hire' online communications consultant. PR is Steve's thing and his posts certainly shoot from the hip. Lively, informative and engaging, the articles are supported by superb presentations including: 'WTF is Twitter' and 'PR in the Digital Age'.

Last week at this time, I was writing about how Citigroup (NYSE: C ) and the rest of the big-four banks were tanking for no apparent reason. This week, I'm happy to report that Citi and its peers are decidedly not tanking. In fact, banks appear to be leading an overall market rally. Here's what we know.
The exact opposite of last week
First, let's have a quick look at exactly where Citi, its peers, and the markets are about midway through the trading day:
- Citi is up a big 2.43%.
- Bank of America is up 0.65%.
- JPMorgan Chase is up 1.36%.
- And Wells Fargo is up 0.92%.
The markets are all in the green, too, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 0.86%, the S&P 500 up 1.08%, and the Nasdaq Composite up 1.68%.
The Facebook effect
Two days ago, The Wall Street Journal broke the news that Citi plans to file suit against Nasdaq OMX Group for its botched handling of last May's Facebook initial public offering, and Citi's share price has been on the rise ever since.
There's no word yet on how much money the bank will ask for, but the Journal is reporting that securities firms as a group lost around $550 million total on the deal. Swiss banking giant UBS lost $356 million alone, which leaves less than $200 million for Citi and its cohorts to split.
Based on this, we know that whatever the superbank eventually claims in the filing won't be a game-changing amount of money. But investors -- like myself -- are probably just happy to see that the sometimes languid and unfocused bank is stepping up to try to right a wrong and recover monies it feels are justly due.
Speaking of game changers, thank you to CEO Michael Corbat for going to bat for Citi's bottom line and for investors.
Of course, in addition to the Facebook news, Citi is also up likely just because the markets are up. The stock market, as we know, moves because of human psychology as much as for any other reason. There's a reason we have terms like "vicious cycle," as well as its flip side, "virtuous circle."
But Foolish investors like yourself know you're in the stock market for long term, and you know you don't need to check on your share prices everyday. In the short term, the markets may move up and down, but over weeks, months, and years, so long as the companies you're invested in have strong fundamentals, you know your money is in the right place.
Looking for in-depth analysis on Citi?
If so, look no further than our new premium report on the superbank. In it Matt Koppenheffer -- The Motley Fool's senior banking analyst -- will fill you in on both reasons to buy and reasons to sell Citigroup.
He'll also clue you in on what areas investors need to watch going forward. For instant access to Matt's personal take on Citi, simply click here now.

Directions for Filing a Complaint
A complaint against a state judge may be sent by U.S. mail to:
Minnesota Board on Judicial Standards
2025 Centre Pointe Blvd., Suite 180
Mendota Heights, MN 55120
Any person may file a complaint. Your complaint should be in writing. Simply write a letter specifically describing the judge's conduct. Be sure to include the name of the judge, relevant dates, names of witnesses, and sources of information. You may wish to attach copies (not originals) of court documents or transcripts if these support your allegations against the judge. Complaints will not be accepted by e-mail. See FAQs. Persons with questions or a complaint against a judge should not appear at the Board office without a prior appointment.
The Board does not have jurisdiction over lawyers, federal judges, administrative law judges, or workers' compensation judges. Complaints against lawyers should be directed to the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility, (651) 296-3952. Complaints against federal judges should be directed to Michael Gans, Clerk, Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, 316 N. Robert St, St. Paul, MN, 55101, (651) 848-1100. Complaints against administrative law judges and workers' compensation judges should be directed to the Office of Administrative Hearings, (651) 361-7831.
Accommodations for Disabilities
If you cannot submit a complaint in writing due to a disability or other reason, you, or someone on your behalf, may contact the Board to request accommodation. The Board telephone number is 651-296-3999. For TTY, call the State Relay service toll-free at 1-800-627-3529.
What Can the Board Investigate?
The Board has the authority to review a judge's conduct for compliance with the Judicial Code. Some examples of judicial misconduct are:
- Improper courtroom demeanor or improper treatment of parties, counsel, witnesses, jurors, court staff and others
- Conflict of interest
- Chemical abuse
- Improper election campaign activities
- Unauthorized "ex parte" communications (communicating with a party to a lawsuit outside the presence of the other party unless authorized by law)
For additional examples, see the Board's discipline cases.
The Board does not have the authority to direct a judge to take legal action, or to review a case for judicial error, mistake or other legal grounds. These functions are for the state's appellate courts.
Allegations stemming from a judge's rulings or exercise of discretion do not provide a basis for Board action, and personal dissatisfaction alone cannot be grounds for judicial investigation. You may file a complaint concerning a judge's rulings or discretionary acts if an appellate court finds that the judge acted improperly.
If you need advice or assistance about what to do next about your case, you should talk to a lawyer. If you seek to change the outcome of the case, discuss this with a lawyer without delay.
Complaint Review Procedures
Your complaint is acknowledged by letter. It is carefully reviewed by the Board's legal staff and the Board. The Board may dismiss a complaint or conduct an inquiry. Complaints that include supportable allegations of misconduct within the Board's jurisdiction will be handled promptly as circumstances permit. If the Board finds misconduct, the Board may issue a private admonition or public reprimand. In more serious cases, after a public hearing and recommendation from an appointed panel, the Supreme Court may impose public censure, suspension, removal, or involuntary retirement.
A complaint flowchart provides a map of the complaint process.
You will receive notification of the action taken by the Board.
If the Board decides to investigate a complaint, the Board usually notifies the judge of the name of the complainant. If the matter is sufficiently serious to warrant a hearing, a complainant may be called to testify at that hearing.
All proceedings of the Board are confidential until the formal statement of complaint and response have been filed with the Minnesota Supreme Court. At any time, a judge under investigation may waive confidentiality.
An absolute privilege attaches to any information or related testimony submitted to the Board or its staff, and no civil action against an informant, witness, or their counsel may be instituted or predicated on such information.

No. 6 Northampton pulled off the upset on Saturday afternoon, defeating previously undefeated Westfield 4-1 to advance to the Western Mass. Division I semifinals.
No. 3 Westfield got off to a strong start when Chris Unger won the first singles match in straight sets. After that, it was all Northampton. Alex Zimbalist got things started for the Blue Devils with a straight set win in the second singles and Ben Sharpe followed suit, winning third singles in straight sets as well.
In the doubles mathces, Westfield tried to make one last stand, but Northampton was again to much to handle. The team of Francois Venne and Ian Fishman took the first doubles match in straight sets but needed a 7-5 tiebreak win in game two to do it.
The second doubles match ended up going three games but William Chen and Nathaniel Jones were able to pull out a 2-1 victory after dropping the opening set.
Northampton, now 8-6, will play Tuesday in semifinals against No. 2 Minnechaug. Westfield finished the season 12-1.

Switching to Linux (For the Right Reasons)
Why are you using Linux on your desktop?
Before answering this question, consider the advantages and disadvantages and then come back full circle to your own motivation for using Linux. Nearly every week, I find my news feeds filled with the usual generic articles describing rather vanilla reasons for using Linux on the desktop.
Why do I have a problem with this? Perhaps because the reasons often being shared are just echoes of other opinions that clearly aren't that of the author. Instead, we are reading the thoughts and ideas of many articles since past.
Great platform for the wrong reason
Take, for example, promoting Linux as the malware-proof OS. Sorry to break this to you, but this doesn't exist. Or my personal favorite, Linux means you never need to upgrade your hardware.

Can I be a Windows, Apple, Linux, and Google guy all at once?
I'm having an identity crisis. Regular readers of both this blog and my Education blog will know that I border on being a Google fanboi and Linux tends to work its way into my computer passions as well. I work almost constantly in the cloud and Linux obviously provides a cheap, stable platform for whatever I want to do online. My primary desktop and exclusive web and file server platforms? Ubuntu. Google Apps makes my life easy in my day job and manages virtually all of my communication needs in and out of work. However…
Apple is sending me a MacBook Pro and an iPod Touch to evaluate as an instructional platform and I'm actually excited about it. I've been tired of my MacBook since about 6 months after I got it, but more than a few Mac fans have told me that's simply because I'm not fully exploiting the software and platform.

More Byways
Visit Jeff's site at www.roadrunes.com
By Jeffry LH. Tank
When people refer to older motorcycles we often hear the terms "Classic", "Vintage" and "Antique" used almost interchangeably, so I thought I'd try to sort out what, if any, differences there are between these terms, or at least what they bring to mind.
First off lets look at the way these terms are defined in Webster's. According to Webster's the term classic, when used as adjective is defined as:
"1 a: serving as a standard of excellence : of recognized value b: TRADITIONAL, ENDURING c: characterized by simple tailored lines in fashion year after year <a classic suit>".
Now lets look at "vintage", which in its first form really refers most often specifically to the year when a certain wine was produced, but also has the following meanings:
"1 of wine: of, relating to, or produced in a particular vintage
2: of old, recognized, and enduring interest, importance, or quality : CLASSIC
3 a: dating from the past : OLD b: OUTMODED, OLD-FASHIONED
4: of the best and most characteristic -- used with a proper noun <vintage Shaw: a wise and winning comedy -- Time>"
And finally we have the term antique when used as a noun which Webster's defines as:
"1: a relic or object of ancient times
2 a: a work of art, piece of furniture, or decorative object made at an earlier period and according to various customs laws at least 100 years ago b : a manufactured product (as an automobile) from an earlier period",
or as an adjective:
"1: existing since or belonging to earlier times : ANCIENT <antique trade routes to the Orient>
2 a: being in the style or fashion of former times <antique manners and graces> b : made in or representative of the work of an earlier period <antique mirrors>; also : being an antique
3: selling or exhibiting antiques <an antique show>"
OK, now we have a basic starting point and while they all appear fairly similar in meaning in that they all refer to something old, do they really all mean the same thing? Well, I guess that depends on how broadly you wish to take the definitions. In my view there are indeed differences when referring to motorcycles or motor vehicles in general. While there are any number of Antique machines still in existence, not all may qualify as Classic, or Vintage, at least in the stricter sense. Lets take an example from the car world, the famous, or perhaps infamous, Edsel of the late 50's, it would certainly qualify as Antique but would it really qualify as Classic using the definitions above? Perhaps not to most, though I am sure there are a number Edsel owners who would beg to differ. In the general sense, though, I think it falls short of the definition of Classic, and I don't think it would fit Vintage very well either.
Using the definitions above we can see that there are differences between Antique and Classic or Vintage. I believe that what it boils down to is simply that something can be an Antique without fitting the concepts brought to mind by the other two terms. Now, here again there may be some who would say that an antique also refers to something of value or that the item has to meet other requirements to be termed antique, other than simply being old. However if we look again at the literal meaning of antique it says nothing about "quality", only about age. Here is where we start to see a distinct difference, classic does refer to quality as well as age, antique simply means old. The difference is that many people have taken antique to include "quality" as a requirement, as in Classic as defined above, especially say, as a dealer in antiques. Certainly this is not unusual, words or ideas have often been "adapted" to mean something more than their proper definition.
So, then what qualifies a motorcycle as Classic or Vintage, not just Antique? Basically it has to have some intrinsic value. It could be because it has set some standard of excellence in design or performance, it exemplifies the styling of the times, or perhaps set some entirely new style that others followed. But what if it created a following simply by the avid devolution of it owners due to simply being an "oddity"? Does this alone make it a Classic, such as the example of the Edsel? That is kind of a gray area, to me it does not, but apparently, to others, it does.
So is it a big deal whether an older machine, say 25 or more years, is referred to as a Classic, Vintage or simply an Antique? To most people, probably not, but being around them as much as I am, and riding machines that are currently 26 and 31 years old, I got to thinking it would be fun to see, just what, if any differences there are in the terms, and how it applies to motorcycles. I guess the bottom line is that there are differences in the terms, and I, for one, see a difference between them, but for many they probably all work equally well.
Just for reference here's how the Vintage BMW group defines the terms, as you can see they break it down by year:
"Classic (1970-on, at least 25 years old), Vintage (1948-1969) and Antique (1923-1945) BMW motorcycles"
So there you have it. Now, lets look at some examples of classic, and not so classic motorcycles.

nervous system
the bodys speedy electrochemical communication network, consisting of nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous system
neural "cables" containing many axons. part of the peripheral nervous system. connects to the central nervous system with muscles glands and sense organs
sensory neurons or afferent
carry incoming information from the sense receptors to the central nervous system
CNS neurons that internally communicate and intervene between the sensory inputs and motor outputs
autonomic nervous system
part of PNS that controls the glands and muscles of the internal organs like the heart
sympathetic nervous system
division of the ANS that arouses the body, mobilizing its energy in stressful situations
our automatic response to stimuli. a simple, automatic, inborn response to a sensory stimulus
neural network
interconnected neural cells, with experience networks can learn, as feedback strengthens or inhibits connections that produce certain results
edoctrine system
set of glands that secrete hormones into the blood stream. it is the "bodys snail" "slow" for the body so like 1 second
chemical messengers that are produced in one tissue and affect another, similar in structure to neurotransmitters. when acted on brain they influence our interests for sex, food, and aggression. travel in the blood
adrenal glands
located right above the kidney, release epinephrine and norepinephrine. increase heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar giving us a surge of energy, helps to arouse the body in times of stress. works with the sympathetic NS
pituitary glands
endoctrines systems most influential. produces of controls release of many different types of hormones. located under the hypothalamus which controls it
