Bruce Salinger '72 - Salingers Orchard
By Keith Davis
In 1981, nine years after Bruce Salinger '72 earned his business degree from IC, Suburbia Today ran a feature on the Putnam County, New York, orchard, then owned by Bruce's father. "Since World War II," said the article,"high taxes and land values have swept farmers from the scene. Whether [family farms] will be a part of the future is uncertain. Added Salinger, 'A lot of money comes through each year, but there isn't a lot staying in my pocket.'" In 2012, Salinger chalks his statement up to "impetuous youth."
"I can't recall my mindset in the 1980s, but the fellow apple growers I know in New York, the good ones, are doing well. From case studies at IC, I discovered one thing: adaptability. Businesses that don't change don't make it."
The Salinger operation didn't always grow fruit. Bruce's grandfather — a New York City native and Cornell poultry science major — bought the acreage in 1905 and started a chicken farm. Some 30 years later, Bruce's father converted it into an orchard, growing pears, peaches, and nectarines, but mostly apples. After growing up on the farm, Bruce studied business at IC.
"I didn't know what I was going to do with my degree, but I'd always enjoyed the family farm, so I thought I'd go back for a few years and then move on," he said.
Going back, though, reminded him of his attachment to the homestead.
"I never had to wonder what my father did for a living, like a lot of my high school classmates had. I was there with him, helping with the spring apple blossom sprays and the late summer pickings. That connection meant a lot."
So did the business end of things.
"I saw potential for taking the operation to the next level. My father was ready to retire, and my brother and sister weren't interested in farming. I saw a chance to be my own boss at something I really enjoyed, so I did it."
Salinger's sister is a 40-year resident of New Zealand; his brother is a retired high school teacher. Though they each own a third of the land, they've given Salinger and his wife, Maureen, ownership of the business, which, under their efforts, has thrived.
"We've developed a successful retail farm market that covers three generations of customers," Salinger said. "Rarely does a day go by when someone doesn't say, 'My father used to drive me here, and now I'm bringing my kids.'"
The way to profitability is staying open year-round. Critical to that effort was installing a specially constructed cold storage system that controls temperature and humidity levels to the point where apples remain fresh months after being picked. The business also has a bakery, started from scratch by Maureen, who left her management position at UPS to spend more time raising the Salingers's two daughters.
Salinger is also a commercial real estate agent and owns a commercial real estate management company. "Work hard. Play hard," he said, and he backs it up with references to sailing his boat and spending time with his family at their house on Cape Cod. The common denominator, though, is the apple orchard.
"My daughters grew up on the farm and, like me, benefited from being involved in their parents' work," Salinger said. "But they've experienced the world differently than I did and won't be taking over the business. The farm having a Salinger name on it will probably end with my generation."
If there's no buyer for the business, the land could be used as a warehouse site, a horse farm, or even a cemetery. Whatever happens, Salinger doesn't regret spending the last 40 years the way he did.
"My backyard is a giant garden filled with thousands of apple trees. The day-to-day of running a business goes away when I walk through the orchard and see all that beautiful fruit."

I Purposely Crashed My Mountain Bike Today! (How to Set Yourself Up to Ride Your Best) MTB Training Article by Gene Hamilton
Seriously, I made myself crash! I didn't want to crash but if you watched the lead up to my crash I did everything possible to set myself up for disaster.
I often tell my students that most mountain bike crashes happen within five minutes of throwing your leg over your bike. I explain that often, when we don't warm up for at least ten minutes (twenty to thirty minutes is best) we aren't fully focused and ready to ride. Today I disobeyed my warm up rule and paid for it. I woke early (5:45 am), fixed a rear flat and headed to South Mountain. When I arrived I had just enough time to get my riding gear on and we were off. I even said, "I don't know how you guys do this, I like to warm up before I ride." Colin then said maybe we should do a long run (a series of trails that have a a few climbs and flat sections providing a decent warm up) and I decided against it! Off we went down Geronimo, I felt pretty good on the first section, missed a few lines but considering the lack of warm up felt alright. After waiting for the crew to regroup I took off down the trail and had a conscious thought (should I take my normal line or try this other line), took a different line than normal and the next thing I knew I was on the ground in a lot of pain.
Conscious thoughts have no place in mountain biking, you need to just do, not make decisions! I wasn't in mountain bike mode, I was still trying to wake up, thinking about the election results and the traffic I fought to get to the trail. This was not the focus I needed to ride scary trails at my best!
I landed about seven feet below the trail and was fortunate to land on one of the only spots with sand mixed with rocks, as the next 100 meters is all big rocks on the side of the trail. I Feel really fortunate that I wasn't hurt worse. Ended up with a sore left shoulder, deep thigh bruise on my left thigh, cut left ankle, headache, big scratch in my fork stanchion, broken left grip and feeling rather nauseous.
The moral of this story is warm up before you mountain bike! Your body and your brain both need to be warmed up and in bike mode (not loving father mode, stressed out business woman mode, mad about bad drivers mode or still thinking about what your boss said mode!) before you end down a trail! My usual warmup consists of 5-10 minutes of dynamic stretching then a minimum of 15 minutes of riding (often doing body position and cornering drills plus a few sprints). I ALWAYS ride better when I do this! Glad re-learning this lesson for the 6th or 7th time did not involve a trip to the hospital!

A few thoughts to jump start your Tuesday morning.
Since everyone has come out with a list lately, here is mine, based on location, facilities, conference and ability to recruit Division I talent.
1. ALABAMA: Alabama has won three of the last five national championships and has recruited better than anyone else in the country the last six years. The facilities are outstanding. 90,000 attend the spring game. What does that tell you about the fans. Nick Saban is the best coach in college football.
2. LSU: LSU gets the best talent in a talent-rich state has the clout to go into Texas to come away with 3-4 top prospects every year. The fans are fanatical, the academics not so challenging and black athletes have the cultural advantage of Southern University, just a couple of miles from the LSU campus.
3. SOUTHERN CAL: For all the money at Texas, they probably have just as much at Southern Cal. Now that the university has a 98-year lease on the LA Memorial Coliseum, the place is going to have the feel of a great college stadium. Within a 60-mile radius of the campus there are as more people than live in the entire state of Florida. USC should dominate the Pac-12.
4. OHIO STATE: They have facilities that are among the best in the nation and a fanatical fan base that will follow the Buckeyes anywhere. They get all the good prospects in Ohio, which produces plenty of talent. They have to go south to recruit speed to compete on a national level, however. There should never be a year when Ohio State isn't one of the two best teams in the Big 10.
5. TEXAS: Fifth? You got it Chico. If this is the best college football coaching job then why is it that Texas has only won three Big 12 championships since the league's inception and the 2005 national championship won by Mack Brown is the only one since Darrell Royal retired way back when? They have the money, facilities, location and so much more. This could be the best job in the country but until it proves it with championships it's fifth.
6. NOTRE DAME: It's been a long, long time since national championships but don't think that Notre Dame is irrelevant just yet. They still have their own network (NBC) and they just got an unprecedented deal with Under Armour that includes stock options that will be worth nine figures in the very near future. Money is no object. Proof is that they paid $18 million to Charlie Weis to buy him out in 2009.
7. FLORIDA: The Gators will move back up the list in a hurry when they start winning big on a regular basis again. Since going 57-10 and winning two national championships from 2005-09, the Gators are 30-21. This is the flagship university in a state loaded with talent. Even with a 4-8 record, Will Muschamp will bring in a top 5-6 recruiting class.
8. OKLAHOMA: Okay, so it's right there in tornado alley, the school has the traditions, the fan base, a lot of money, excellent facilities and still has the clout to go to Texas to bring in the talent it takes to win. As long as Bob Stoops is the head coach, Oklahoma is going to be one of the ten best jobs in college football. The Sooners will always be one of the two best teams in the Big 12.
9. TEXAS A&M: They're tired of being little brother to Texas, which is why they are gutting Kyle Field. What will grow in its place is a stadium bigger than the one in Austin. And, Texas A&M has the advantage of playing in the Southeastern Conference. Recruits are starting to get excited about being Aggies, too. This is a sleeping giant.
10. FLORIDA STATE: The way Jimbo Fisher has recruited, the Seminoles are going to be players on the big stage for years to come. Fisher could have had the Texas job if he wanted it. That he stayed at FSU says plenty about what he's building there. The only weak link for FSU is playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
This is based on location, attendance, interest, facilities and access to Division I talent.
1. NEW MEXICO STATE: Nearby is the White Sands Missile Test Range. In the spring when they have dust storms you can be inhaling history from 1945 when they exploded the first atomic bomb at White Sands. There probably aren't 10 Division I prospects within a 300 mile radius.
2. UMASS: UMass did fine in Division IAA. Then someone got the brilliant idea to go to Division I and join the Mid-American Conference, which – get this – is in mid-America. There are no nearby rivals and the fans get lathered up (inject sarcasm) for those fall afternoons when Eastern Michigan or Western Michigan or Kent State comes rolling into town. Division I prospects go to Boston College, UConn or, if they are good enough, down south. They don't go to UMass.
3. IDAHO: They play their home games in something called the Kibbie Dome which seats 16,000 and is made mostly of wood. Moscow, Idaho is not the end of the world but there are signs that can get you there. For fun you can drive eight miles to Pullman, Washington. The local population is 94% white and dozens of white separatist groups such as Aryan Nation are located in the area, which might explain the difficulty luring talented black athletes to Moscow.
4. GEORGIA STATE: This is a campus is in downtown Atlanta. There are no on campus facilities and home games are played in the cavernous Georgia Dome where people are not going to flock to see Georgia State square off with Old Dominion or Louisiana-Monroe. There is plenty of nearby Division I talent, but Georgia State gets the crumbs left over from Georgia, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Auburn and the rest of the Southeastern Conference.
5. UAB: Home games are played in decrepit Legion Stadium. The Board of Trustees for UAB is the same board that oversees things in Tuscaloosa. When they wanted to hire Jimbo Fisher back in 2007, Bear Bryant's kid put the kibosh on it because he wanted Nick Saban to hire Jimbo as his offensive coordinator. There are lots of Division I prospects, but Alabama and Auburn get first choice while Troy and South Alabama will constantly land more than UAB.
Because of the recruiting base within a 350-mile radius, there is never an excuse for these schools to ever be out of the national title hunt.
1. SOUTHERN CAL: Within 200 miles of the campus are more people than live in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee combined. A good number of them play football quite well.
2. UCLA: That UCLA has been such a non-player on the national scene is mind boggling when you consider the amount of talent in the Los Angeles area.
3. TEXAS: Go north and you hit the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Go Southeast and you hit Houston. Due South is San Antonio.
4. TEXAS A&M: See Texas.
5. MIAMI: If Miami simply landed 90% of the All-Dade County team each year it would be in the national title hunt.
6. FLORIDA: The recruiting radius stretches as far north as Atlanta and as far south as Miami with Tampa and Orlando in between.
7. FLORIDA STATE: FSU's location lets it get into south Georgia and as far north as Birmingham.
8. GEORGIA: The 350-mile recruiting radius encompasses all of Georgia including Atlanta and gets the Bulldogs into Jacksonville where they have traditionally recruited well.
9. LSU: LSU owns all of Louisiana and its recruiting radius gets it into west Florida, east Texas (including Houston) and into northern Mississippi.
Blind Faith was going to be a super group when it merged the talents of Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker and Rick Greech in 1969. The super group lasted only one year, but the album "Blind Faith" was truly outstanding. This is "Can't Find My Way Home" from that great album.

River Valley .............. turning the clock back
Can the clock be turned back on the loss of biodiversity in New Zealand? Probably not, but that does not mean all is lost. River Valley is doing it's bit.
1 / 3
Sitting amongst the tranquillity of River Valley, it's hard to imagine a hundred years ago this was a very different place. The rugged landscape would have been covered in heavy bush, with natural clearings of scattered manuka, fern and tussock grass
"Over the years I've become increasingly conscious of the silence of our native forest ̶ in the past it would've been deafening with birdsong," says River Valley Lodge and Stables owner Brian Megaw.
The loss of birdlife can be directly related to loss of habitat, competition for food, and hunting by introduced predators, especially stoats, possums and rats' ̶ and it's something Brian wants to change.
"In my mind's eye I see the whio blue duck, nesting back on the main river, something they've not done for at least 60 years. I imagine myself sitting at the lodge and hearing kiwi calls at night. There would be kaka and many more kereru. A walk in the bush would encounter riflemen and if we were really lucky kakariki, though I expect that introduced Australian eastern rosella are starting to fill the niche previously occupied by those small parakeets. The song of the bellbird would be a steady background melody."
Maori living downstream in the Moawhango Valley and Mokai area came to the valley to hunt birds, including the large and now extinct moa. Farming arrived with the first European settlers in the 1890s. The early colonials cleared the land, hacking out an existence by fire and axe.
"Vast quantities of timber were milled, but even greater quantities were simply burnt ̶ an incredible waste," says Brian.
The Rangitikei River is the life-blood to River Valley and its rafting and trekking business, but without riparian plantings to influence the aquatic and land ecosystems the river is under continual threat from agricultural intensification and associated nutrient run-off. This leads to increased weed growth and loss of water clarity.
"There's no doubt that there's more sediment now, although the river is still very clear," says Brian. "Areas where stock, especially cattle, access the river need to be fenced and the river boundary planted with native shrubs."
There are nine farms upstream. Only a handful have fenced their river frontages and the others are "dragging their chain".
Further conservation measures are necessary to promote sustainable biodiversity. "In our case that includes setting traps to catch and kill introduced predators, killing invasive plants and planting pockets of native trees and plants where livestock cannot get to them," says Brian.
The trapping and killing of stoats benefit all native birds, especially whio. At the moment the traps cover about 10kms of the river downstream from the lodge, all listed on Google Earth. The biggest obstacle is finding time to check them. "It's easy for conservation work to slip down the priorities when we are busy. "We still have about 30 traps that have not yet been laid out and probably won't be until the end of the season."
Another focus is on the identification and eradication of the weed, Old Man's Beard, often mistaken for the native clematis. "It's an incredibly invasive plant and has a huge impact, smothering and killing blocks of native forest. "We still keep on top of it here, but only about 20 km downstream all control work has been halted, as the problem has simply got too big."
In the future the team are looking at introducing some sort of sponsorship program where people can pay to support a trap for a year to help meet the cost. "That means the general public can be a part of something pretty damn cool, without having to do the work themselves," says Brian.
"When I look over the area I see good productive hill country farmland with the odd remnant of native forest, but because of the lack of species diversity, this is really a green desert from a biodiversity point of view."
"It's not just an issue for River Valley ̶ it's a world-wide problem made worse by climate change."
Brian has seen variations in the 36 years he has lived here. "It is generally a little warmer in winter, but I think the major thing is the severity of weather events. "The drought last year was the biggest since 1948, but also the third drought since 2000. The floods in 2004 were the biggest since 1896. It's the greater incidences of these events that is the concern."
"Our actions are not going to turn the clock back, but if we all do our bit, no matter how small, I feel sure the impact on a global scale would be huge. "We just have to live the commitment and basically lead by example."
River Valley is near Taihape, about halfway between Auckland and Wellington and a short distance off State Highway 1. For more information go to www.rivervalley.co.nz

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Despite a late second half flurry of shots that included a couple near-misses, UC Santa Barbara couldn't overcome a first half goal by No. 19 Illinois and dropped a 1-0 decision on Friday night at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium.
The Fighting Illini (2-0-1) scored the only goal of the match in the 10th minute and made it stand up over the final 80:16 en route to the win. The Gauchos (0-3-0) played a solid second half, but couldn't find the back of the net.
Illinois score came at the 9:44 mark when Kristen Gierman headed a volley in the box to teammate Shayla Mutz. The 6-foot-1 Mutz leaped up in a crowd right in front of the goal and headed a shot into the upper left corner.
The Fighting Illini outshot UCSB in the first half 5-3, but thanks to a late surge, the Gauchos had eight second half shots to their opponents seven. None of the eight, however were on frame. The final three attempts came in the closing four minutes. Geneve Dromensk ripped the first of the three shots, but it went wide to the left. The final two shot came from senior midfielder Erin Ortega. Ortega's first attempt with 2:30 left was deflected high over the crossbar and the second, with 1:40 remaining, was wide.
Ortega finished the match with four of UCSB's 11 shots.
Illinois goalkeeper Steph Panozzo needed just two saves to record the shutout. Gaucho junior McKenna Henry, who had eight saves in each of her first two games this season, had four more on Friday night.
UCSB will host its second straight Big Ten opponent on Friday, Aug. 31 when it hosts Indiana University in a contest that will kick-off at 7:00 p.m. at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium.
Tickets for all Gaucho games are available at the stadium one hour before game time, in advance at the Ticket Office in the Intercollegiate Athletics Building on campus, by calling 805-893-UCSB (8272) or online by clicking here.

Tourists make new marine mammal discovery
Ten tourists on a wilderness tour got more than they bargained for when they came across a stranded whale washed up on Northland's Ninety Mile Beach.
Extraordinary scenery, culture and wildlife are all part of the New Zealand tourism experience. Ten tourists on a wilderness tour got more than they bargained for when they came across a stranded whale washed up on Northland's Ninety Mile Beach on Christmas Eve.
This is the first ever observation of a Pygmy Killer whale in New Zealand waters.
Leader of the Active Earth Safari Alison Perkins said "my heart sank when I first spotted the dead whale on the sand. I thought 'what am I going to say to my clients if we drive further up the beach and discover it littered with bodies'. It would have been incredibly upsetting."
Like all of the Active Earth guides, Alison has a passion for natural history and the environment. However, fortunately for science Alison's special area of interest is marine ecology.
"My initial thoughts were that it might be a small Pilot Whale, a species well known for beaching in New Zealand waters. Later that day I showed Department of Conservation employees pictures on my camera.
They thought it might be a Pilot Whale too but I wasn't 100% convinced. My curiosity got the better of me and I needed a definite identification. When I got home I looked in a whale watching book and emailed some pictures to Wade Doak at his Diver's Discussion Forum website to post up.
I knew that if Wade didn't know, he'd find someone who would" said Alison. This trail led to orca researcher Ingrid Visser who broke the news "this is definitely NOT a pilot whale, but is a pygmy killer whale".
"Unbelievable. This is the first record of a Pygmy Killer whale in New Zealand waters" emailed Anton van Helden, collection Manager Marine Mammals at Te Papa (Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa).
The Pygmy Killer whale is described as a warm water species found in places such as off the coast of Northern Australia, and is said to rarely if ever venture further south than the Queensland coast - hence the astonishment at finding it here.
Anton says "this now brings the NZ species list to 43 species - quite remarkable really!"
Te Papa Tongarewa are now coordinating with the Department of Conservation and local Iwi to see if they can find and recover the carcass for the museum.
Active Earth and their parent company Hiking New Zealand are already deeply involved in marine mammal ecology.
Since October 1998 they have contributed $5 per safari client into a Wildlife Research Fund - to date having donated $60,000. This fund has contributed to the New Zealand Whale and Dolphin Trust to assist with conservation of Hector's dolphin.
Hector's dolphin is one of the rarest species of marine dolphins in the world, found only in New Zealand waters.
And funnily enough, one of Hiking NZ's directors Mark Brabyn also did a zoology Master degree on precisely what Alison stumbled upon on Christmas Eve – whale strandings.
Guide Alison said "it is remarkable that here in the year 2010 someone like me can still contribute to scientific knowledge by making a simple observation and going on a hunch - it's a really great feeling".

A Quick-Ship Prototype/Fabrication Plan
Jamco Products Inc., South Beloit, IL, manufactures fully welded, heavy-duty industrial-grade products—carts, cabinets, workbenches, work tables and safety cabinets covering most material-handling needs. The firm fabricates more than 500 standard models, and offers customized products, from steel and stainless steel.
According to Jason Redmon, vice president, engineering, deliveries historically throughout the industry for these products had been four to six weeks.
"Jamco brought to the industry what we call a quick-ship program," Redmon says, "where customers can order any one of the models from our catalog with different configurations. There are thousands of SKUs in the catalog—customers can order any one of these SKUs in small quantities and we will build and ship it in five days."
Jamco fabricates mostly carbon steel and some stainless steel for its products, focusing its efforts on manufacturing the heaviest-duty products in the market. Says Redmon:
"Our angles are 50-percent thicker than those used by our competitors, and we use 12-gauge steel for our trays, 40 percent thicker the competitors' 14-gauge trays.
Our carts can take a tremendous amount of abuse and still keep rolling."
Modernizing Fabrication
Traditionally, Jamco stamped a majority of its products with unitized type tooling. "We als outsourced laser-cutting and turret-punch press work," explains Redmon, "a substantial amount of work."
In search of punching technology, "we looked at several different machine builders," Redmon continues, "and visited their customers' shops to see the machines in operation. That research provided me with an appreciation of servo-electric punching technology, and led us to purchase, late in 2012, a servo-electric turret punch press (a Prima Power E6x)."
Installed in February 2013, the E6x combines energy savings and ergonomics with accuracy and productivity. The machine's control and user interface software, says Redmon, with touchscreen panel, ensure fast setup and convenient operation. It can process full 60- by 120-in. sheets (maximum thickness is 0.315 in.) without repositioning, and features a 19-ton (U.S.) ram force. Maximum punch diameter is 3.5 in.; punch speed peaks at 700 hits/min. with 1 mm between holes.
Other features include accurate punching movement (±0.004-in. hole-location deviation) and excellent forming and marking ability; fully programmable punching speed, upper and lower limit of stroke; and programmable clamp setting.
Cost Savings
"We produce a tremendous amount of louvers for hanging bins, etc., all of which we were outsourcing to local vendors," explains Redmon. "The E6x allows us to produce all of the louvers inhouse, saving us nearly $1 million.
"It also allows us to decrease our prototyping time," he continues. "Traditionally, to bring a new product to market took us 6 to 10 weeks of prototyping time. Now we can turn those parts around the next day.
"The E6x also gives us flexibility in how we choose to manage our inventory," adds Redmon. "We've reduced our inventory from three months' worth down to three weeks' worth."
Bring on the Servo-Electric Brake
Just six months after purchasing its servo-electric turret punch press, Jamco added a servo-electric press brake to its equipment arsenal—a Prima Power eP model. The eP-series press brake, part of Prima's "Green Means" eco-friendly concept for sustainable manufacturing, delivers sustainability, manufacturing efficiency and productivity, say company officials. It also means greater versatility compared to hydraulic press brakes, with reduced power consumption and maintenance costs. The net result, says Redmon: the ability to form higher-quality sheetmetal parts at an overall lower cost.
"We had very old hydraulic press brakes," Redmon says. "Purchasing the eP press brake increased our productivity and flexibility, and our ability to efficiently form complex parts.
"For example," he continues, "some of our stainless-steel cabinets have some unique top and bottom trays. Thanks to the press brake's capabilities, we now can bend these parts inhouse. The press brake gives us flexibility in how we bend complex shapes, and increases the speed at which we can bend. We're also achieving tighter tolerances, which improves fitup and makes it easier for our welders, which translates into higher productivity.
"Our new servo-electric equipment has brought Jamco into the 21st century," concludes Redmon. "The turret punch press and press brake have increased our productivity, flexibility and accuracy, helping to bring Jamco to the next level."

DescriptionOn a space settlement named Contra, a human being serves as a regulator for the planet's vital systems: he controls transportation, weather, and manages resources all while being in a deep sleep, through the neural power of his brain. Such a regulator is called Central Mentality. However, after five hundred years of stasis, the current Central Mentality suddenly awakens, greatly troubled by reports of computer malfunctioning and resulting problems in weather condition, food production, and transport. He must now act, and act quickly: the crew members assumed that he has gone insane, and are coming to disconnect his mind. But what can he do if his state of suspended animation prevents him from moving?
Suspended is a text adventure game with a twist: instead of navigating the protagonist, the player indirectly controls six robots that do his bidding, exploring the environment and interacting with it. Each robot has different functions and has its own way of seeing reality and reacting to events around it. Iris is the only robot that can see and therefore visually describe locations and objects; Whiz can provide technical information obtained from computers; the sonar-powered Waldo is good at holding items; Auda is an expert in sounds; the cryptically speaking Poet senses the flow of electric currents; finally, Sensa can detect magnetic and photon emissions. The player advances in the game by using the different abilities of the robots and solving puzzles.

DifficultySuspended has a number of preset difficulty levels, increasing (or decreasing) the difficulty of the game as a whole. There was also a "custom" difficulty setting, which allowed you to manually set various parameters in the game. (At which turn do the earthquakes happen? At which turn does the coolant system fail? At which turn does the human troubleshooter-team arrive? What is the initial positions of the six robots? And so on.)
But, humorously, there was also a pre-set "Impossible" difficulty setting, and it lived up to its word - if you chose this setting, the sun explodes within the first few turns, dooming the entire planet. Infocom (jokingly) offered a reward to anyone who could complete the game on the Impossible setting. Needless to say, nobody ever won that contest.
ExtrasThe game originally shipped with a plastic mapboard of the facility and 5 vinal counters for the robots. This was to help you visualize where everybody was during the game.

When word came that Qurans had been burned by US troops in Afghanistan, there was no doubt there would be bloodshed as a consequence. The reason why they were burned (carelessness and ignorance in this case, it seems) didn't matter.
Afghans responded violently to Quran burnings in the past and it is hardly a secret that the country seethes with anti-American, and generally anti-foreigner, sentiment. President Barack Obama quickly moved to do the only thing he could to mitigate the coming storm: he apologized in a formal letter to Afghan President Hamid Karzai. "I assure you that we will take the appropriate steps to avoid any recurrence, to include holding accountable those responsible," Mr. Obama wrote.
To listen to some of his political opponents talk, he should have doubled down and instead insisted on a formal apology for the murder of US troops by Afghan soldiers.
Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich called the apology an "outrage," said Obama should have demanded an apology from Mr. Karzai for the murder of US troops instead, and said "this destructive double standard whereby the United States and its democratic allies refuse to hold accountable leaders who tolerate systematic violence and oppression in their borders must come to an end."
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said the apology was a sign of "weakness." Sarah Palin complained. "Obama apologizes for the inadvertent Koran burning this week; now the US trained and protected Afghan Army can apologize for killing two of our soldiers yesterday," she said.
And quarters of the conservative commentariat were even more strident. Take Andrew McCarthy of the National Review Online. "The only upside of the apology is that it appears... to be couched as coming personally from our blindly Islamophilic president," he writes. "Muslim leaders and their leftist apologists are also forever lecturing the United States about 'proportionality' in our war-fighting. Yet when it comes to Muslim proportionality, Americans are supposed to shrug meekly and accept the 'you burn books, we kill people' law of the jungle."
Here's why they're all wrong.
The answer to the moral question of "What's worse? Burning books or killing people?" is, of course, "killing people." Far, far worse. Furthermore, the burning at Bagram, an effort to get rid of books that Taliban prisoners were scribbling in to share propaganda and messages, was pretty clearly not an act of malice, but negligence. And yes, a greater acknowledgment from Karzai that enormous American sacrifices have been made to install and keep him in power would be nice.
But the dudgeon and moral outrage rather misses the point of what it means to be commander in chief. Obama, or any president, should have a fundamental thought at the top of their mind every time they speak about America's wars: "Is what I'm about to do or say going to put more troops in harm's way?" In this case the answer is an emphatic "yes." A direct refusal to express contrition for the Quran burning would have put more troops in harms way.
Would more than the at least six US soldiers and officers killed in the past week in retaliation for the Quran burning have died? Impossible to say. But it certainly would have fanned the flames in Afghanistan, leading to a more dangerous situation, not a safer one.
An old friend wrote to me complaining about double standards, asking pointedly if there is as much outrage and violence when Afghans mishandle Qurans. No, generally not. His point was that people there are primed to react violently against foreign, generally non-Muslim troops, more quickly than they do against co-religionists and neighbors – and that makes them hypocrites.
Well, his point is made. But the reality of the cultural terrain in Afghanistan is that mob violence will occur when foreign troops burn Qurans. Many more Afghans will be disgusted. Support for the foreign troops in their midst will decline. Hypocrisy? OK, sure. But far more importantly, it's reality. As long as the US is fighting a war there, it needs to keep sight of the Afghans that are, not the ones it might wish there were.
One can decry the immorality, or double standards, all day long. But it doesn't dispel the fact that more troops were threatened and the president's duty was to help quell this flareup as quickly as possible.

Five members of the Central Connecticut men's track and field team were named to the 2013 Outdoor Men's All-Conference teams Tuesday after their performances at the Outdoor NEC Championships in May. Senior Aaron Radden, who was named NEC Most Outstanding Track Performer following NEC Championship competition, was awarded with both first and second team honors.
Sophomore Jamal Fruster joined Radden on the first team and classmate Andrew Hill was named to the second team. Two freshmen, Joseph Gioielli and Derek French, were named to the All-Rookie team following their successful inaugural collegiate campaigns.
Radden claims the honors after taking the gold in the 100m with his time of 10.66 seconds and the silver in the 200m, crossing the finish line in 21.69 seconds. He completes his successful career as a five-time indoor NEC Individual Champion, a four-time outdoor NEC Individual Champion, a four-time New England Indoor Champion and a two-time NEC Indoor Championship Most Outstanding Performer and Most Valuable Performer. Radden has also tallied eight NEC weekly awards among his multitude of accolades. His 2013 NEC Most Outstanding Track Performer award is the first Radden has received for outdoor competition in his career.
Fruster earns his spot on the All-Conference First Team after claiming the gold in the 400m with his time of 48.29 at the Outdoor NEC Championships. The sophomore finished almost 30 seconds faster than his closest opponent and qualified for IC4A competition with his performance.
Hill was named to the All-Conference Second Team for his second-place performance in the 10,000m run. The distance runner completed the race in 32:13.55 for a new personal best time. Hill also competed in the 5,000m run in which he placed fourth.
Gioielli, who was named NEC Rookie of the Week on April 23, earned a spot on the All-Rookie Team after earning the bronze in the 800m run at the NEC Championships. He crossed the finish line with a time of 1:54.69. Gioielli also earned All-Rookie honors during the 2013 indoor track and field season in addition to an NEC Rookie of the Week nod on January 29.
French capped off his freshman campaign with his All-Rookie award after finishing the 10,000 meter run in 32:52.44. He finished ninth and was the fastest freshman in the 19-runner field.

DORCHESTER, MA -- A car riddled with bullets was towed away in Dorchester, Massachusetts Monday not long after a 20-year-old woman and her boyfriend were shot.
"My niece had just pulled up. Her, her baby's father and the baby. The guy came out of nowhere, coming at him and just started shooting," said Louis Jasey, the victim's uncle.
In the back seat of the car was 5-month-old Harmony Jasey.
"I opened up the backseat, unstrapped her and just grabbed the whole car seat and ran in the house," Jasey said.
The couple suffered from bullet wounds and was taken to the hospital but is expected to survive. Relatives said it was a miracle the five-month-old baby girl wasn't hurt.

At 78 years old and after 28 years on the job, Dick Enberg is calling his final matches from Wimbledon this year. He'll wrap up his ESPN tennis contract at the US Open in a few months, and then he'll go home to San Diego to call games for the Padres. We're afraid that Enberg might not have the opportunity to tell stories about "bloody blue balls" in baseball, and that he definitely won't have Chris Evert next to him to keep his doddery in check — "I'll leave that one alone" — so we really have to appreciate this national treasure while we can.

Wall Street Journal
12 May 2007
Hillsdale, Mich. – From the first days of federal aid to higher education, instinct told us such aid would carry with it obligations that, in the words of Bill Buckley, "a free university ought not to undertake." Over the past 50 years a few private colleges and universities across America, including Hillsdale College, where I am president, have paid the price to keep their independence.
No part of the billions from federal taxpayers that go annually to our competitors comes to us. In the past, our families were even prevented from taking the limited tax deductions available for college tuition. We face the annual challenge of keeping up with the rapid growth of subsidies to higher education.
Today we watch with trepidation an attempt to establish federal control over all colleges and universities, including our campus. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings wants to extend the testing and standards requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act to colleges. The specific details of what these testing an standards would entail are unclear, but are likely to be determined by education department regulators over the next several months.
President Bush and Ms. Spellings have brought a new approach to education reform at the federal level. They have good motives and a fair appraisal of the situation, at least in K-12 education. But national standards and testing in higher education will only strengthen a bureaucracy that already plagues an otherwise highly competitive system.
Mr. Bush and Ms. Spellings will not be around long enough to write the rules of this new program. They will leave behind them a much larger department, now armed with the tools to influence education to a much greater extent. Ms. Spellings often uses the language of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society in her speeches. Since Sept. 11, 2001, spending on higher education has grown at rates greater than, say, the Defense Department.
National standards are unnecessary in higher education. There are already plenty of accountability tools available to students and their parents – starting with the ability to pick up and go elsewhere. There are more than 2,000 accredited four-year colleges in the country. At Hillsdale we have long survived by attracting private capital and good students to our campus, so we are well aware that universities compete for students, donations and top-notch professors every year. We also know that those institutions that allow their standards to slip will soon find their best students and faculty members migrating elsewhere.
These facts notwithstanding, Ms. Spelling's efforts to impose nationalized college testing began in earnest last fall when her National Commission on the Future of Higher Education issued its final report and recommended the new testing mandate. Republicans – had they maintained control of Congress – might have gone along. Instead Ms. Spellings is now attempting to impose the mandate through the backdoor by forcing college accreditation agencies to start demanding that the tests be imposed.
The accrediting agencies are now almost 100 years old, and colleges use them to learn about themselves and to demonstrate competence by third-part testimony. The accrediting agencies have for the most part respected the mission and purpose of the institutions they review. But since the federal government became a major funder of colleges, the accrediting agencies are the gateway to that money. This makes them, as much as the recipient colleges, creates of federal policy.
Several weeks of tense "negotiated rule-making" between the department and the accrediting agencies have just ended without agreement. The department has invited a representative of the largest accrediting agency to step down from the consulting panel because of her recalcitrance. Meanwhile the department threatens to impose common standards in accrediting without agreement from the accreditors. This is the opposite of competition and diversity.
Reform is certainly needed in higher education. But we should be discussing tax credits not uniform standards. We should be thinking about tax-free saving accounts for college rather than rules and subsidies.
Here in south central Michigan, we are used to being recalcitrant. Living by private resources for more than a century and a half, we have supported the principles of "civil and religious liberty and intelligent piety" that have been the core of our public mission since the founding day. We succeed today by the requirement of a tough core curriculum, recruitment of a talented student body committed to an honor code, and by remembering the relationship between liberal education and a free society.

This conference covers topics for both the Win95/NT and DOS versions of PX. It is technical in nature but has been known to discuss other related subjects as well. To clear up any possible confusion for the purpose of this conference, the following rules are to be followed effective immediately. 1. The topic of the PLATINUM_XPRESS conference is the use and operation of PLATINUM XPRESS and related files/utilities. Discussions should remain related to the subject at hand. 2. Off-topic discussions will be kept to a minimum. Short discussions will be allowed but when asked to be discontinued by either MODERATOR, the off-topic discussion should be discontinued or taken to Internet E-Mail or Fidonet Netmail. 3. The Moderators have jurisdiction over this conference. Decisions of either party are final and not subject to appeal. 4. When stating a problem here, please indicate whether you are using Platinum Xpress for Win95/NT or DOS. Also indicate the version number of PX, and any particular hardware/software setups which might assist us in evaluation of your trouble. Also, if you are running the DOS version, indicate if you are running in real or protected mode and, particularly, any recent hardware/software changes which have occurred. 5. Flames are not allowed. If you wish to flame someone, please do so using Internet E-Mail or Fidonet Netmail, but not here. Follow the above rules and everyone in this echo will be happy campers. you decide not to follow, further action will be taken to remove you from this echo. Below are a few more rules that we request be followed. 6. Spelling does not count. 7. This conference is not an alias conference. Sysops should be using their real names here. 8. Brief discussions on the Silver Xpress Mail System are permitted though you are *encouraged* to carry that conference if at all possible. Accordingly, some Silver Xpress specific features are permitted here such as Xpress Windows, Wildcat! color coded signatures, or a GROUP MAIL message to ALL from the Moderators, but we ask that the usage be kept to a dull roar. 9. Discussions concerning other Mailer systems are frowned upon. This is a support conference for Platinum Xpress and not a general forum for Mailer systems. The only exception to this rule is where the discussion of another Mailer has a direct relation to its use with any flavor of the Platinum Xpress Mailer system and only where such discussion concerns whether or not that third party Mailer has been known to cause problems working with PX etc. Support for other Mailers is not provided or implied and discussion of them will be kept to an ABSOLUTE BARE MINIMUM. The Moderators have the right to terminate any such discussions at any time with or without explanation. 10. Discussions or advertisements of competitor products by their respective authors or supporters are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN except as denoted in Rule #9 above. This should go without saying. Authors violating this rule will be IMMEDIATELY BANNED from further posting in the conference. End-user supporters of competitive products will receive ONE WARNING, after which they will be IMMEDIATELY BANNED on a second violation. Reinstatement will NOT BE forthcoming.

zh-CN:Audacious zh-TW:Audacious
Audacious is a free and advanced audio player based on GTK+. It's focused on audio quality and supports a wide variety of audio codecs, and is easily extensible through third-party plugins.
audacious is available from official repositories. Install it with pacman. If you want audio CD support, install libcdio.
Audacious currently provides two interfaces:
- Winamp classic interface
- GTK+ interface.
One may switch between two interfaces in Audacious.
Adding winamp skins
Adding Winamp skins to Audacious is very simple. Just copy your skin file (.zip, .wsz, .tgz, .tar.gz, or .tar.bz2 file) to either
~/.local/share/audacious/Skins (affect your user only) or
/usr/share/audacious/Skins (affects every user), and then you can browse and select it from Skinned Interface tab in Preferences.
Tips and tricks
Audacious is shipped with a powerful management tool called Audtool. Audtool could be used to retrieve information or to control the player.
For example, to retrieve current song title or artist, issue the following command:
$ audtool current-song $ audtool current-song-tuple-data artist
There are also functions to control playback, manipulate the playlist, equalizer and main window. For the whole option list, see:
$ audtool --help
MP3 problems
Try to install mpg123.

Your master bathroom sees a lot of use on a regular basis, and after a few years it may be time to refresh the aesthetic of the space. If you're the kind of person who loves to spend time at the spa and appreciates the relaxation benefits it provides, why not incorporate this decorative scheme in your own bathroom? There is a variety of home improvements you can make to your bathroom that can improve its utility and create a laid-back atmosphere you can enjoy each day. Here are a few ideas to get you on the right track.
1. Additional seating. If you have room to spare, use a bare corner to include a small loveseat or chair to give you a place to relax after a long shower. This will give you a place to apply makeup, a facial treatment or simply unwind. Your additional seating will also provide a boost to your interior design, so go with a complementary fabric color that suits your color scheme. In other parts of the year, you can simply place a slipcover on top and use seasonal throw pillows to give your space a quick face lift.
2. Towel warmers. There's nothing quite like a warm towel to wrap around yourself after a long shower, and in the past this was only something you'd find at a world-class spa. However, now with the Riviera Towel Warmers from WarmlyYours, you can turn this luxury into an everyday pleasure. These elegant stainless steel towel warmers can blend in with any decorative scheme and can accommodate two large towels. These electric devices operate at a fraction of the cost of liquid-filled devices and will be a welcome addition to your redesigned space.
3. A dual-sink vanity. If you and your spouse are always quarreling over use of the bathroom, a dual-sink vanity may put those arguments to rest. This vanity will allow you to create personalized areas of the countertop that can accommodate you and your loved one's favorite bath products and give you plenty of space to work with. Look for a vanity with open storage so you can use the shelves below to stack towels, toiletries and storage baskets.
Comfort and utility should be your main goals when crafting a small bathroom, so use these improvements as jumping-off points to design a cozy and functional washroom.

Brigitte Bowers: Young brains often lead kids astray
I was loading the dishwasher when I heard the pounding. It was coming from my son Everett's bedroom, and it sounded like someone was throwing something, aiming it either at the wall or bookcase or, possibly, the ceiling.
This kind of reckless throwing is not an unusual occurrence in my home. When it happens, I typically yell, "Knock it off or I'm coming in there," from whatever part of the house I happen to be in and then, like magic, the noise subsides.
But that evening my warning had no effect.
I suspected Everett and his friend Joe were succumbing to some whim of their prefrontal cortexes. They are 13 years old and the decision-making part of their brains are having the time of their lives, leading them into all kinds of mischief and then sitting back and relaxing while they serve time in detention or are banished to their rooms at home.
That's because their merry and cavalier prefrontal cortexes care not one whit about consequences. At each and every crossroad in their young lives, their prefrontal cortexes help them to make important choices, such as whether or not to shoot a rubber band at Mrs. Meyer during silent reading, based on one criterion only: How much fun will it be if I do it and don't get caught?
"What are those kids up to in there?" I asked my husband, who has a remarkable ability to ignore any noise that might necessitate intervention.
"Sounds like they're bouncing a ball," he said, and then he turned up the volume on the TV.
I was about to investigate when the noise stopped, as though ESP had alerted my son and his friend to my intent.
It was on the afternoon of the following Monday when I discovered what they and their underdeveloped prefrontal cortexes had been up to.
I rarely venture into my son's closet because I am wary of what I might find there, but on that particular afternoon I looked anyway and found a wall full of one-inch holes and gashes. I tried to determine what might have caused them.
There was a wrench on the closet floor, but it did not match the holes in the wall. I found no other tools that could have caused the damage, and so I went about my business, grading papers and doing laundry, but always in the back of my mind was the mystery of the closet wall.
Finally, around 4:30p.m., I drove to my son's school to pick him up from basketball practice. I parked the car and was walking to the gym when I passed Joe.
"Hey," I said, "what did you guys do to the closet the other night?"
"Oh, we were throwing a pair of scissors at it," he answered, remembering the evening with a sheepish smile.
I tried to remember if I'd seen a pair of scissors in Everett's room but could not recall any. "Why?" I asked.
He thought a while, considering all the possible reasons one might decide to improvise a dart board game using a wall and a pair of scissors. "I don't know," he said after some time, clearly puzzled by his actions. But I could tell he thought it was an interesting question.
Later, in the car, I asked my son what had possessed him to turn his closet wall into a giant sieve.
"We were bored," he answered.
"Why didn't you go outside to play basketball or something?"
"It was cold."
There was no point in arguing, and so I let the conversation die under the weight my son's impossible logic.
In about seven more years, Everett and Joe's prefrontal cortexes will become mature and stodgy. "No!" their newly boring prefrontal cortexes will shout just when it seems things are about to get fun. "Jumping from the roof into the pool is not a good idea!"
Until then, I will just have to do my best to quash prefrontal gaiety whenever I hear it frolicking about in some room of the house. And Everett will have to develop other parts of his brain, like the temporal lobe, responsible for learning how to apply spackle and paint.

This burger may have you at "brie," but the surprise knockout here is actually a spicy scallion mayonnaise, made with lemon zest, serrano pepper, and garlic.
At first You might be a little bit skeptical of pairing a French cheese with something so spicy, but one bite and I assure you that you'll be sold on the combo forever. Who can resist gourmet flavors, prepped, grilled, and assembled in about 30 minutes flat?
Here check it out-
For spicy scallion paste:
4 scallions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
For the burgers:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cut into 4 pieces
Vegetable oil, for brushing
4 hamburger buns of your choice
1 large tomato, cut in 1/4-inch slices
1 head of butter lettuce, leaves separated.
- Make spicy scallion paste: In a food processor, pulse scallions, garlic, chile, lemon zest, olive oil, and salt together until a chunky paste forms. Set 4 tablespoons aside. With remaining scallion paste, mix it with 1/4 cup mayonnaise; set aside and refrigerate for later use.
- Make burgers: Light a grill or place a grill pan on the stove over high heat. In a medium-sized bowl, season ground beef with salt and pepper and form 8 thin patties. Top 4 patties with a slice of Brie and a tablespoon of scallion paste. Top with the 4 remaining patties, pinching the edges to seal.
- Brush burgers with oil and grill over high heat, turning once or twice, about 8 minutes for medium-rare patties. Two minutes before serving, grill hamburger buns until toasted.
- To assemble burgers: Spread a thin layer of reserved scallion mayonnaise on insides of buns. Fill each bun with a burger, tomato, and lettuce.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm good....Eat well my friends!

When a young Sam Rayburn was running for the Texas House in the early years of the 20th century, he and his opponent often campaigned together. One would make his pitch while the other waited his turn, and then they would travel to the next little North Texas town and do it all over again.
Longtime Texas House member Warren Chisum, now a Republican runoff candidate for the three-member Texas Railroad Commission, is trying a variation on that theme. Campaigning to make up ground against the winner of his race, Austin attorney Christi Craddick, he's flying around the state this week with two of his five former opponents in tow.
Chisum got 27.5 percent of the vote. In her first run for public office, Craddick, 41, got 36 percent.
"All of us got along really well," said Becky Berger, a Schulenberg geologist who finished third in the race with 11.9 percent of the vote. "We vowed from the start to make it a race about the issues. . . . It was kind of family-like."
Berger was with Chisum on an early-morning stop at the Chronicle. Houston lawyer Roland Sledge, who finished fourth with 9.9 percent, listened in via speaker phone and planned to join Chisum after his Chronicle meeting.
"We're going before the Sunset Commission again," Berger said, "and we will be approached and probably persecuted by the EPA, and Warren has testified before the EPA. He's been on the Sunset Commission before, so he's going to have an advantage as to how to handle that and what they're going to need to see, he'll be prepared for. It's just a matter of experience."
Chisum, 73, owns a Pampa-based energy company, Omega, and sits on the board of several other energy companies.
Experience was paramount for Sledge, as well. "I'm a 35-year oil and gas lawyer and energy executive, and it takes one to know one," he said. "I've see a lot of them over the years, and Warren is an oilman. The reason I'm endorsing him is that he has the depth and breadth of experience that is far superior to his opponent."
Chisum is not used to losing. One of the more outspoken social conservatives in the Texas Legislature, he was first elected to the House 24 years ago and except for his very first race, he's never faced serious opposition. He blames his second-place finish on Craddick's name — she's the daughter of longtime state Rep. Tom Craddick, a former speaker — and her money.
Craddick, 41, raised more than $1 million, more than three times Chisum's $375,000. She also has the support of San Antonio physician and conservative activist James Leininger and Houston homebuilder Bob Perry.
The runoff winner will face the Democratic nominee, Dale Henry, 80, of Lampasas. Henry ran unsuccessfully for railroad commissioner in 2006 and 2008 and ran unopposed in 2012.

Liberal school board members are the ones who lack transparency
In response to Ms. Trasky's letter: The only bully here is you, Ms. Trasky. The best interests of the school board and the children would be better served if Lesley Dahlkemper and Jill Fellman stop whining to anyone and everyone who will listen. It seems they deliberately vote against ANY proposals by the new board president.
Statistics on gun violence are appalling
There are some striking numbers out there, and, no, I don't mean Broncos stats.
Six school shootings in 10 days; a mall shooting leaving 3 dead. Some 260 Americans shot and 86 killed every day, eight of those being children. But who's counting, right?
Well, I am.
New school board: in the right
Do you remember, not so long ago, when some folks, partial to brown-colored shirts and strange dance steps, said, "The bigger the lie the better, and the more that it is repeated, the better is the chance of it being believed"?
New school board: in the wrong
Ken Witt, John Newkirk, and Julie Williams:
New school board is actually more open than the old one
In response to Greg Romberg's column of Dec. 25: Maybe Mr. Romberg should investigate the actual facts.
First, the board has had its own attorney. In the past, the hiring of said attorney was done behind closed doors with no public notice. We should be applauding the new board majority for hiring an attorney in public and increasing transparency.
Humane treatment of prairie dogs is first step toward changing views
I applaud Gina Writz's efforts in the relocation attempt of the prairie dogs at the parcel of land at Wadsworth and Coal Mine. Sadly, the inhumane extermination and "bulldozing over" of prairie dogs is common practice in the industry. It is simply eradication by death. And, unfortunately, until the industry changes, we are stuck with its choices.
A review of some traffic rules
These are some issues facing area drivers. We have a good number of merge lanes at stop signs and traffic lights. Many people don't yield when merging onto the road, causing traffic to slow or even stop. It might be a good idea to review some of these rules for many longtime and new drivers.
A word of thanks to veterans
The average citizen today, myself included, does not comprehend what our country's veterans have endured. I feel the importance to help the public become more mindful of these incredible people.
More bad baggage for ObamaCare
If Denver International Airport's fondly remembered 1-square-mile automated baggage system could never be made fully operational, how can the ObamaCare computer fiasco (created by a company that failed province-wide in Ontario, Canada) be made to function nationwide?
Russell W. Haas
'Put It to the People' aptly named
Elizabeth Dalebroux's letter announcing the "Put It to the People" petition drive is very appropriately named. Unfortunately, gun-obsessed individuals like Dalebroux's group, the leadership of the NRA, the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and others have been "putting it to the people" of Colorado for years.

We associate upsherin parties with being colorful, kid-friendly affairs. This one, though, is cute and classy too with lots of appeal for all of the adult guests. The host repurposed furniture and items from her home to display the tempting baked goods and colorful salads. lots of creative and original ideas make this one a feast for the eyes, even if no one saved us the leftovers.
Cool knife-fork-spoon placemats dress up simple white tablecloths and give them a custom look.
Personalized cookies with the pusher in boy's name remind guests why we're here to celebrate. We also love the place setting placemats which give a formal look to the table, even when we're using plastic.

Kaikoura - whales, dolphins, seals, and seabirds
Kaikoura is a beautiful coastal town offering unique marine wildlife including whales, dolphins, seals and seabirds that reside there year round.
Kaikoura is a beautiful costal town located between Christchurch and Picton. One of the best things about Kaikoura is the unique marine wildlife that resides there year round including whales, dolphins, seals and seabirds. Many of the eco-tourism operators based out of the area offer a unique experience to encounter these animals in their natural environments, including seal swimming, dolphin swimming and whale watching tours.
Ohau Point seal colony is a unique spot where baby seals pups can be seen under a waterfall and swimming in the stream. It is free to go there and is a must see if you are in Kaikoura. Take the Ohau Stream and Waterfall walk to get to the pools to see the cute seal pups at the Ohau Point waterfall.
Alternatively, take a swim with them on a guided seal swimming tour in the gorgeous little bays of the Kaikoura Peninsula. Tours are operated by a local family that grown up in the area since childhood. This is also an experience not to be missed. Tours cater to all experience levels so if you're feeling a little timid you can always just hang out with your guide on a large float board that they provide. If you need more convincing check out the amazing footage this short video – 'Seal swimming in Kaikoura'.
A dolphin swimming tour in Kaikoura is a truly amazing experience to see the dusky dolphins in the wild. The dolphins get very close to you and can be very playful as you snorkel around with the pod. The number of dolphins that are in a pod can vary from 50 to the upwards of 2000 depending on the time of year and tour conditions.
Sperm whales are year round residents that frequent the waters of Kaikoura. At certain times of the year humpback and blue whales may be seen as well as ocra whales. The whales can be viewed by boat or plane tours and the types of whales seen on the tours will be dependent on the time of year.
Kaikoura is a spectacular coastal town filled with some of the best marine wildlife in New Zealand, and a destination that is not to be missed while in New Zealand.
