I hereby nominate myself for dumbass of the year. Here's the story:
I was returning from Tucson (about 1.5 hours from home) with some friends and there was a bad accident on 10 FWY and traffic was at a standstill for as far as the eye could see. We could see roads on both sides and trucks were using the one on the right side. A whole bunch of cars did a U-turn and headed back to the previous exit to catch said frontage road. I stopped for gas and asked the attendants whether the roads on either side cold be used. They said yes. (I guess I should have been more specific with my question).
So we take off on the road less traveled (left side frontage road). Approx 3 miles down a sign says "Pavement ends in 100 feet". Perhaps this is why the truckers used the other road. At this point sensible people would have turned back. Not us. So the dirt road starts veering away from the freeway. No big deal. How hard can it be? We're in an "all wheel drive" :-)
We are now in the middle of cotton fields, on dirt roads - and no sign of life. We come to a T intersection. To the left is a stop sign and likely a real road. To the right is all dirt and the general direction of the freeway. My friend Ben suggests left. I suggest we take the more "adventurous route". Sure, why not? Road starts to get worse - and I am fishtailing a bit and drifting off due to the camber of the road, but trying to keep a good momentum. It worked for about 1 mile and then we just drifted off into the slush and the poor Honda stopped on it's belly in the mud!
Middle of nowhere. No sign of life. We didn't even know what exit we left. But we could see the an Air Base - so after a few failed attempts at digging it out, I start walking (about 3 miles) to the air base to find our location. Meanwhile Ben calls another friend named Gary and manages to describe landmarks. I get to the airbase, find out our location and call the Auto Club (who said that such idiocy was covered but it would be at the tow driver's discretion as to whether he would be willing to attempt a tow.) While I am on the phone with AAA, Gary show up! We head back to the stranded Honda. Gary also almost gets stuck but in 4 low, after rocking back and forth, he gets out. And after a lot of mud spraying in all directions, he tows us out and guides us back to civilization.
So - moral of the story - when your instinct tells you there is a reason everyone else is taking the "other" road, listen to your instincts :-)

A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 6000 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.
Elements are fundamental substances of matter - matter that is composed of the same types of atoms. At present, 118 elements are known (four of them are still unnamed). Of these, 98 occur naturally on Earth (hydrogen to californium). Most of these occur in rocks & minerals, although some occur in very small, trace amounts. Only some elements occur in their native elemental state as minerals.
To find a native element in nature, it must be relatively non-reactive and there must be some concentration process. Metallic, semimetallic (metalloid), and nonmetallic elements are known in their native state as minerals.
Silver is part of the gold-group of metallic elements. Silver is a precious metal, but is far less valuable than gold or platinum. Silver usually occurs as a silver sulfide mineral, but it also occurs in nature in its native state, often in the form of twisted wires. Silver is moderately soft and has a silvery-white color on fresh surfaces that tarnishes to darker colors. Elemental silver in nature is often found alloyed with other metals. Naturally alloyed gold-silver is called electrum.

Jack Stone 4 Biocupe 2018 Element Stone
Group Description
1- The Contest - This is a LEGO Technic/Bionicle/CCBS/Constraction tournament. LEGO System parts (that's bricks) should be kept to a minimum. Each judge has their opinions on what is too much system so its up to you how much you use, if any.
No custom or modded LEGO pieces are allowed unless they are made to match official pieces. Cut flex pipe is allowed if it matches lengths that lego has made. Misprints and prototypes are all good.
(e.g. you may remove print from a shell that already exists unprinted)
2- Time Frame - The Bio Cup will start on June 15th and last until a champion will emerge.
the preliminary round is 12 days with 2 days to judge and the following rounds are 11 with 3 days to judge. Each new round begins on a friday and encompasses 2 weekends, giving contestants maximum build time.
3- Entries - For an entry to be valid it must indicate in the main description that it was made for the 2018 Bio Cup. It must then be added to the group's pool, AND/OR a link to your entry must be posted in the appropriate thread (both are preferred).
There needs to be at least 3 photos of your entries, however, not all of them need to be posted to Flickr. As long as one is on Flickr and we have a link to more photos an entry is valid.
4- Themes - Your entry must fit the assigned theme. Themes are not very restrictive so you're free to interpret them as you wish.
5- Pictures - Clear, focused picture, possibly on a clean background will allow the judges to fully appreciate your entries' quality.
6- Rounds - The preliminaries will be scored by 6 judges on the following scoring system:
*Build (parts use, shapes, color blocking, etc) - 15 points
*Creativity (idea) - 10 points
*Judge's Opinion (How well it fits the theme, presentation, etc) - 5 points
Each subsequent round will be a MOC-off against your assigned opponent.
This is a SINGLE ELIMINATION tournament. The winner moves up, the loser falls out except in the case of rule 7. When you're the only one left, you won! The winner of each MOC-off will be judged by 6 judges.
In the event of a tie, the judges will rate each MOC on the same scale used in the preliminaries, the total scores of each MOC will determine who moves on and who drops.
7- In case of a dropout early in a round, the loser of the last moc-off of the contestant that stayed will have a chance at a rematch.
I.E.
A and B are in round one. A wins. C and D are in round one as well. C wins. For round 2 the pairing is A vs C. C drops out. D is offered the chance to fill.
Contestant D may fill in no matter when contestant C dropped, and will be allowed one extra day to build. Contestant D is not forced to return, and will be offered by the judges through Flickrmail. If contestant D declines, as he/she is fully allowed to, then contestant A will get a free pass.
I.E.
Contestants A and C are set to compete in round 2, but C drops. Contestant D is allowed to re-enter, with only one extra day. Contestant A will still have more days to build compared to D, but if D had any more extra days, we could never get judging done within the time frame.
We strongly encourage MOCists to not dropout. Wouldn't want to waste a chance at those Prizes...
8- MOCs - You may enter MOCs not originally built for the contest (if they match the theme), but you will most likely be docked points. It is highly recommended that you build new MOCs for each round.
9- Group - Only your contest entries may be added to the group's creations.
10- All standard Flickr rules apply.
11- Play well and have fun!
You can ask all your questions in the "General Questions" topic. You can ask round-specific or theme-specific questions in the relative round's thread.

This is the real deal! Some people think gold is all shiny but not all gold is. I've seen many different kinds of gold. This one is called mustard gold.
Gold

Bromine, symbol Br, atomic number 35 is a red, non-metallic liquid discovered in 1826 by Antoine Balard in a salt marsh. *Though perhaps a German student Carl Lowig found it first but didn't get around to claiming it. Bromine is not something you want to stick your nose in, as it is irritating, burning and hazardous, with a noxious vapor.
The name bromine comes from the Greek for "bromos" or stench. The stench might even be that attributed to a stinky goat.
From bromine, we get bromides, which are compounds containing bromine. An example is silver bromide is used in photographic processes.
Bromine/bromide has also influenced language. That is the use of bromide to mean dull, uninteresting, trite and tiresome. To quote wordsmith.org: " In earlier times, potassium bromide used to be taken as a sedative. So any statement that was intended to be soothing ("Don't worry, everything will be OK.") acquired the name bromide. Eventually any commonplace or tired remark and anyone uttering such remarks came to be known as a bromide."
From this boring "bromide" comes "bromidic," the adjective form.

My print was created by screen print with 3 screens for 3 color process. Due to some learning curve errors, in the end my screens were created by painting the negative space with screen filler.
I used the image of a goat after reading a reference to "stench of the goat" relating to the Greek word for stench. This goat is standing by a marsh and inhaling the nasty red vapor of bromine (but he doesn't mind, because he already smells).
After I had designed the image, I went on to read about the linguistic connection between bromine and bromide/bromidic. I thought that was really interesting. I always like when sedation leads to new words. Nowadays I don't think these terms are used much, but we should put them back into use. It can be the new cool slang if we get the right people saying it in public. It's basically the equivalent to "triflin'" (trifle-ing) anyway.

I love this project, everybody's prints, and can't wait to see where this goes. Thanks to azuregrackle and everybody else. Various internet sources were used in obtaining the above info about bromine.

Boletín 3400
Hermosillo, Sonora, 1 de abril de 2013.- La oportunidad de conocer nuevos destinos turísticos aprovechando las herramientas tecnológicas que brinda Internet, llevó a Diana de la Rosa y su familia a visitar las playas de Bahía de Kino y a conocer la cultura Seri en un histórico paseo por Punta Chueca.
Originaria de Parral, Chihuahua, la familia Fernández de la Rosa compuesta por Diana, Jesús Tomás Fernández, Alan, Tomás y Joselyn Fernández de la Rosa, disfrutó de unas vacaciones de Semana Santa diferentes, pues dejaron la tranquilidad de su ciudad natal para ser partícipes de la cultura sonorense y conocer una de las playas más bellas y desconocidas del país.
“Queríamos algo diferente, así que por Internet leí sobre Bahía de Kino, los paisajes se veían maravillosos, la tranquilidad que buscaba, la he encontrado; el estrés que vive uno ante la rutina laboral hace necesario darle ingredientes a nuestro organismo de esta calma que aquí se encuentra”.
Aprovechando el trabajo coordinado entre el Ayuntamiento de Hermosillo y la gubernatura Seri, que por vez primera permitió el acceso de turistas a su territorio, la familia Fernández de la Rosa y cientos de vacacionistas más, recibieron la mejor de las atenciones por parte de la etnia hermosillense.
Supervisados por el secretario del Ayuntamiento, Jesús Villalobos García y a cargo del comandante Armando Cháirez Leyva, elementos policiacos se aprestaron desde temprana hora a brindar la atención necesaria tanto a la comunidad indígena como a los vacacionistas que durante viernes y sábado santos acudieron a la playa de Punta Chueca.
“Ninguna administración tuvo la oportunidad de hacer lo que hacemos ahora; nos dieron uniformes para nuestra Guardia, brindar mayor seguridad al turismo y es el compromiso que tenemos con el Ayuntamiento; gracias a Dios esta primera Semana Mayor de trabajar con el Municipio, nos ha ido muy bien”, comentó Luis Miguel López Morales, el gobernador Seri.
Manifestó que durante este primer año de apertura de su territorio con plena autorización de la etnia, el resultado ha sido muy favorecedor: “hemos tenido la mejor relación con el Ayuntamiento y otras dependencias para la seguridad de los turistas, que vengan y nos conozcan, vean nuestras playas, tierra y cultura”.
Gracias al trabajo realizado por el secretario del Ayuntamiento así como la dirección de Seguridad Pública, las visitas a Punta Chueca fueron muy exitosas, las artesanas vendieron sus productos, hubo degustación de platillos típicos y el trato hacia los vacacionistas fue de lo mejor.
Lidia Ibarra Félix, la artesana mayor de la etnia Seri, manifestó su alegría porque tras 50 años de vivir en la comunidad, por vez primera los turistas pudieron ingresar a su territorio. “Mucha gente vino; el viernes eran muchos, pudimos vender nuestra artesanía y ellos conocieron nuestra cultura”.
Una carretera limpia y en excelentes condiciones fue el factor adicional que permitió a los vacacionistas acceder a Punta Chueca, playa típica de Bahía de Kino donde está concentrada la comunidad Seri que, a través de sus usos y costumbres, representan parte de las tradiciones hermosillenses.

Esta escultura, se une la noche del tercer domingo de septiembre a todos sus paisanos con las manos levantadas, para esperar la salida del Cristo de La LUZ.
El visitante se queda impresionado al vivir la salida de la imagen de su iglesia, esta se vive con todos los sentidos: con la vista, se percibe como el humo de la pólvora envuelve la imagen en el momento de su salida, con el oído, el ruido que hacen los elementos pirotécnicos al estallar, con el olfato, el olor de la pólvora, y la “manos levantadas”, le dan la bienvenida y protegen de las cañas que caen después de estallar los cohetes.
