Hi, I'm starting fresh, have no gil, no sub job etc, but I want to be a Pup. I know it is expensive, so I'm working really hard farming wild onions so I can pay for it.
Anyway, I don't want any of the frames and heads, except the stormwaker body and soulsoother head. Can I skip the other ones or do they have to be done procedurally? Because that will make me have to farm a lot more onions... :(
I want a puppet that is basically a healer.

Hi blog friends. How's it going? I have three, THREE days left at my full-time job and my mind is in full force about all the things I will now have time to do. I actually have to slow myself down because it's important for me that the next few months are a time of reflection. I need to make sure there is enough space for me to explore all sorts of things. One thing I know there will be plenty of – that's cooking (and dish washing, lol). I can't wait!!
So let's talk pumpkin for a minute, shall we? I hope you don't roll your eyes because well, there certainly have been plenty of pumpkin recipes here on the blogosphere (and magazines and cooking channels). It seems like most of you have been quite obsessed. I'm banking on it because I have a sweet few recipes to share with you too. They are my first of the season (yup, just as the season is ending).
We'll start with something a little more indulgent and quite special (scroll down for something healthier if you've had a little too much candy for Halloween) – chewy chocolate chip pumpkin cookies [made with pumpkin butter]. Just like Jessica, I'm not really into muffin top-like pumpkin cookies. I want softness in that chewy sort of way… the slightly underbaked and gooey, plump-cookie sort of way. Does that even make sense?
See how plump these are? Don't mistake this for having a muffin-like texture. These are melt-in-your mouth, buttery pillows of heaven. Bonus: Scoop the dough into little balls, then freeze. That's how you get to enjoy freshly baked cookies any day in just 13 minutes of waiting time (and no dirty bowls).
Make them now. You'll thank me (and Jessica!). I promise.
PS – I'm loving the blue afternoon light in these pics. So perfect for fall!
Now onto something a little healthier – chocolate and peanut butter chip pumpkin pie muffins. These were actually requested by Adam – the only time he'll ever ask for anything-pumpkin (I may now have to add those cookies to the list. What do you think, Adam?).
He was asking for me to make these muffins (which apparently I made back in November 2008!!! and he's still asking for them) but Tina's recipe no longer exists. The key ingredient is definitely the peanut butter chips. Have you ever had them? The Sunspire peanut butter baking chips have no junk ingredients and taste like mellow butterscotch kissed by peanut butter little candies. They are soft and melt beautifully. I've been scouting every Whole Foods for over a year to find them (I don't know why they've become such a commodity!). Thanks, Shannon, for buying me 3 bags. Our future will now be much sweeter with my pantry full of pb chips
Anyways, back to the muffins… Tina's "original" muffins were super moist and full of chips. I went with my go-to pumpkin muffin recipe (by Ellie Krieger) which is very light and almost cupcake-like, reducing the brown sugar down to 1/2 cup and adding 1 cup of chocolate and peanut butter chips (combined). The result were these beautiful babies, which I dressed up for Halloween
Hi pretty!
I've been having one of these for breakfast for the past week and let me tell you – it's definitely one sweet way to start the day!
Are you into pumpkin? Any favorite moist muffin recipes or special treats?

Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER

The effect of the instruction is to replace each such term in the
current goal by the corresponding variable. This replacement is
carried out by a parallel substitution, outside-in in each
hypothesis and in the conclusion. More generally, actually, the
``variable'' (second) component of each pair may be
nil or a number,
which causes the system to generate a new name of the form

variable is supplied, it must not occur in any goal of the current
proof-checker state.
When the ``variable'' above is
nil, the system will treat it as the

current proof-checker state. Otherwise it treats it as
|_0|, or
|_1|, or
|_2|, and so on, until one of these is not among the
variables of the current proof-checker state. If the ``variable''
is a non-negative integer
n, then the system treats it as

which case it increments n just as above until it obtains a new
Note: The same variable may not occur as the variable component of
two different arguments (though
nil may occur arbitrarily many
times, as may a positive integer).
list the names of goals on the stack
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example and General Form: goals
Goals lists the names of all goals that remain to be proved. They
are listed in the order in which they appear on the stack of
remaining goals, which is relevant for example to the effect of a
change-goal instruction.
proof-checker help facility
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Examples:The proof checker supports the same kind of documentation as does ACL2 proper. The main difference is that you need to type
(help rewrite) -- partial documentation on the rewrite command; the rest is available using more or more!
(help! rewrite) -- full documentation on the rewrite command
help, help! -- this documentation (in part, or in totality, respectively)
General Forms: (help &optional command) (help! &optional command) more more!
(help command)in a list rather than
:doc command. So, to get all the
documentation on
command, type
(help! command) inside the
interactive loop, but to get only a one-line description of the
command together with some examples, type
(help command). In the
latter case, you can get the rest of the help by typing
more!; or
more if you don't necessarily want all the rest of the help at
once. (Then keep typing
more if you want to keep getting more of
the help for that command.)
To summarize: as with ACL2, you can type either of the following:
more, more! -- to obtain more (or, all the rest of) the documentation last requested by help (or, outside the proof-checker's loop, :doc)It has been arranged that the use of

We use the word ``command'' to refer to the name itself, e.g.
rewrite. We use the word ``instruction'' to refer to an input to
the interactive system, e.g.

cases, e.g.

print the hypotheses
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Examples: hyps -- print all (top-level) hypotheses (hyps (1 3) (2 4)) -- print hypotheses 1 and 3 and governors 2 and 4 (hyps (1 3) t) -- print hypotheses 1 and 3 and all governorsPrint the indicated top-level hypotheses and governors. (The notion of ``governors'' is defined below.) Here,
General Form: (hyps &optional hyps-indices govs-indices)
hyps-indices and
govs-indices should be lists of indices of hypotheses and governors
(respectively), except that the atom
t may be used to indicate that
one wants all hypotheses or governors (respectively).
The list of ``governors'' is defined as follows. Actually, we
define here the notion of the governors for a pair of the form
<term, address>]; we're interested in the special case where the
term is the conclusion and the address is the current address. If
the address is
nil, then there are no governors, i.e., the list of
governors is
nil. If the term is of the form
(if x y z) and the
address is of the form
(2 . rest) or
(3 . rest), then the list of
governors is the result of
x or its negation (respectively)
onto the list of governors for the pair
<y, rest> or the pair
<z, rest> (respectively). If the term is of the form
(implies x y)
and the address is of the form
(2 . rest), then the list of
governors is the result of
x onto the list of governors for
the pair
<y, rest>. Otherwise, the list of governors for the pair
<term, (n . rest)> is exactly the list of governors for the pair
<argn, rest> where
argn is the
nth argument of
If all goals have been proved, a message saying so will be printed. (as there will be no current hypotheses or governors!).
hyps command never causes an error. It ``succeeds'' (in fact
its value is
t) if the arguments (when supplied) are appropriate,
i.e. either
t or lists of indices of hypotheses or governors,
respectively. Otherwise it ``fails'' (its value is

Example: (illegal -3)Probably not of interest to most users; always ``fails'' since it expands to the
General Form: (illegal instruction)
fail command.
illegal command is used mainly in the implementation. For
example, the instruction
0 is ``read'' as
(illegal 0), since
expects positive integers.
set the current proof-checker theory
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example: (in-theory (union-theories *s-prop-theory* '(true-listp binary-append)))If the argument is not supplied, then this command sets the current proof-checker theory (see below for explanation) to agree with the current ACL2 theory. Otherwise, the argument should be a theory expression, and in that case the proof-checker theory is set to the value of that theory expression.
General Form: (in-theory &optional atom-or-theory-expression)
The current proof-checker theory is used in all calls to the ACL2
theorem prover and rewriter from inside the proof-checker. Thus,
the most recent
in-theory instruction in the current
state-stack has
an effect in the proof-checker totally analogous to the effect
caused by an
in-theory hint or event in ACL2. However,
instructions in the proof-checker have no effect outside the
proof-checker's interactive loop.
If the most recent
in-theory instruction in the current state of the
proof-checker has no arguments, or if there is no
instruction in the current state of the proof-checker, then the
proof-checker will use the current ACL2 theory. This is true even
if the user has interrupted the interactive loop by exiting and
changing the global ACL2 theory. However, if the most recent
in-theory instruction in the current state of the proof-checker had
an argument, then global changes to the current theory will have no
effect on the proof-checker state.
generate subgoals using induction
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Examples: induct, (induct t) -- induct according to a heuristically-chosen scheme, creating a new subgoal for each base and induction step (induct (append (reverse x) y)) -- as above, but choose an induction scheme based on the term (append (reverse x) y) rather than on the current goalInduct as in the corresponding
General Form: (induct &optional term)
:induct hint given to the theorem
prover, creating new subgoals for the base and induction steps. If
term is
t or is not supplied, then use the current goal to determine
the induction scheme; otherwise, use that term.
Note: As usual, abbreviations are allowed in the term.
Induct actually calls the
prove command with all processes
turned off. Thus, you must be at top of the goal for an

Example: (lisp (assign xxx 3))Evaluate
General Form: (lisp form)
form. The
lisp command is mainly of interest for side
effects. See also
skip, and
The rest of the documentation for
lisp is of interest only to
those who use it in macro commands. If the Lisp evaluation (by
trans-eval) of form returns an ``error triple'' of the form
(mv erp (cons 3 val) &), then
val is of the form
(erp-1 val-1 &),
and the
lisp command returns the appropriate error triple
(mv (or erp erp-1) val-1 state) .Otherwise, the
trans-eval of form must return an ``error triple''
of the form
(mv erp (list* state-out mult val) &), and the
command returns the appropriate error triple
(mv erp val state) .

run the given instructions, and ``succeed'' if and only if they ``fail''
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example: (negate prove)
General form: (negate &rest instruction-list)Run the indicated instructions exactly in the sense of
do-all, and
``succeed'' if and only if they ``fail''.
Negate instructions will never produce hard ``failures''.

Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example and General form: nil(or,
The whole point of this command is that in some Lisps (including
akcl), if you type
control-d then it seems, on occasion, to get
interpreted as
nil. Without this command, one seems to get into an
infinite loop.
run instructions with output
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example: (noise induct prove)Run the
General Form: (noise &rest instruction-list)
instruction-list through the top-level loop with output.
In fact, having output is the default.
Noise is useful inside a
surrounding call of
quiet, when one temporarily wants output. For
example, if one wants to see output for a
prove command immediately
following an
induct command but before an
s command, one may want to
submit an instruction like
(quiet induct (noise prove) s). See also
move forward one argument in the enclosing term
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example and General Form: nxFor example, if the conclusion is
(= x (* (- y) z)) and the
current subterm is
x, then after executing
nx, the current
subterm will be
(* (- y) z).
This is the same as
up followed by
(dive n+1), where
n is the
position of the current subterm in its parent term in the
conclusion. Thus in particular, the
nx command fails if one is
already at the top of the conclusion.

run the first instruction; if (and only if) it ``fails'', run the
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example: (orelse top (print "Couldn't move to the top"))Run the first instruction. Then if it ``fails'', run the second instruction also; otherwise, stop after the first.
General form: (orelse instr1 instr2)
This instruction ``succeeds'' if and only if either
``succeeds'', or else
instr2 ``succeeds''. If it ``fails'', then
the failure is soft.
prettyprint the current term
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example and General Form: p
Prettyprint the current term. The usual user syntax is used, so
that for example one would see
(and x y) rather than
(if x y 'nil).
(See also
pp.) Also, abbreviations are inserted where appropriate;
The ``current term'' is the entire conclusion unless
dive commands

Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example and General Form: p-topFor example, if the conclusion is
(equal (and x (p y)) (foo z)) and
the current subterm is
(p y), then
p-top will print
(equal (and x (*** (p y) ***)) (foo z)).
Prettyprint the the conclusion, highlighting the current term. The
usual user syntax is used, as with the command

x isn't a call of a boolean primitive. There's nothing
incorrect about this, however.

Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example: (protect induct p prove)
General Form: (protect &rest instruction-list)
Protect is the same as
do-strict, except that as soon as an
instruction ``fails'', the state-stack reverts to what it was before
protect instruction began, and
restore is given the same meaning
that it had before the
protect instruction began. See the
documentation for
call the ACL2 theorem prover to prove the current goal
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Examples: prove -- attempt to prove the current goal (prove :otf-flg t :hints (("Subgoal 2" :by foo) ("Subgoal 1" :use bar))) -- attempt to prove the current goal, with the indicated hints and with OTF-FLG setAttempt to prove the current goal, where
General Form: (prove &rest rest-args)
rest-args is as in the
keyword arguments to
defthm except that only
:hints and
:otf-flg are
allowed. The command succeeds exactly when the corresponding
would succeed, except that it is all right for some goals to be
given ``bye''s. Each goal given a ``bye'' will be turned into a new
subgoal. (See hints for an explanation of
:by hints.)
Note: Use
(= t) instead if you are not at the top of the
conclusion. Also note that if there are any hypotheses in the
current goal, then what is actually attempted is a proof of
(implies hyps conc), where
hyps is the conjunction of the
top-level hypotheses and
conc is the goal's conclusion.
Note: It is allowed to use abbreviations in the hints.
substitute for a ``free variable''
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example: (put x 17)Substitute
General Form: (put var expr)
expr for the ``free variable''
var, as explained below.
A ``free variable'' is, for our purposes, a variable
var such that
the instruction
(free var) has been executed earlier in the
state-stack. What
(free var) really does is to let
var be an
abbreviation for the term
(hide var) (see documentation for
add-abbreviation). What
(put var expr) really does is to unwind the
state-stack, replacing that
free instruction with the instruction
(add-abbreviation var expr), so that future references to
(? var)
become reference to
expr rather than to
(hide var), and then to
replay all the other instructions that were unwound. Because
was used, the expectation is that in most cases, the instructions
will replay successfully and
put will ``succeed''. However, if any
replayed instruction ``fails'', then the entire replay will abort
and ``fail'', and the state-stack will revert to its value before
put instruction was executed.
(put var expr) ``succeeds'', then
(remove-abbreviation var) will
be executed at the end.
Note: The
restore command will revert the state-stack to its value
present before the
put instruction was executed.

discussion of abbreviations in general, and

Examples: (rewrite reverse-reverse) -- apply the rewrite rule `reverse-reverse' (rewrite (:rewrite reverse-reverse)) -- same as above (rewrite 2) -- apply the second rewrite rule, as displayed by show-rewrites rewrite -- apply the first rewrite rule, as displayed by show-rewrites (rewrite transitivity-of-< ((y 7))) -- apply the rewrite rule transitivity-of-< with the substitution that associates 7 to the ``free variable'' yReplace the current subterm with a new term by applying a rewrite rule. If
General Form: (rewrite &optional rule-id substitution)
rule-id is a positive integer
n, then the
nth rewrite
rule as displayed by
show-rewrites is the one that is applied. If
rule-id is
nil or is not supplied, then it is treated as the number
1. Otherwise,
rule-id should be either a rune of or name of a
rewrite rule. If a name is supplied, then any rule of that name may
be used. More explanation of all of these points follows below.
Consider first the following example. Suppose that the current
subterm is
(reverse (reverse y)) and that there is a rewrite rule
reverse-reverse of the form
(implies (true-listp x) (equal (reverse (reverse x)) x)) .Then the instruction
(rewrite reverse-reverse) would cause the
current subterm to be replaced by
y and would create a new goal with
(true-listp y). An exception is that if the top-level
hypotheses imply
(true-listp y) using only ``trivial reasoning''
(more on this below), then no new goal is created.
A rather important point is that if the
rule-id argument is a number
or is not supplied, then the system will store an instruction of the
(rewrite name ...), where
name is the name of a rewrite rule;
this is in order to make it easier to replay instructions when there
have been changes to the history. Actually, instead of the name
(whether the name is supplied or calculated), the system stores the
rune if there is any chance of ambiguity. (Formally, ``ambiguity''
here means that the rune being applied is of the form
(:rewrite name . index), where index is not
Speaking in general, then, a
rewrite instruction works as follows:
First, a rewrite rule is selected according to the arguments of the
rewrite instruction. The selection is made as explained above under
``General Form'' above. The ``disambiguating rare arguments'' will
rarely be of interest to the user; as explained just above, the
stored instruction always contains the name of the rewrite rule, so
if there is more than one rule of that name then the system creates
and stores these extra arguments in order to make the resulting
instruction unambiguous, i.e., so that only one rewrite rule
applies. For what it's worth, they correspond respectively to the
fields of a rewrite rule record named
hyps, and
Next, the left-hand side of the rule is matched with the current
subterm, i.e., a substitution
unify-subst is found such that if one
instantiates the left-hand side of the rule with
unify-subst, then
one obtains the current subterm. If this matching fails, then the
instruction fails.
Now an attempt is made to relieve the hypotheses, in much the same
sense as the theorem prover relieves hypotheses except that there is
no call to the rewriter. Essentially, this means that the
unify-subst is applied to the hypotheses and the system
then checks whether all hypotheses are ``clearly'' true in the
current context. If there are variables in the hypotheses of the
rewrite rule that do not occur in the left-hand side of the
conclusion even after the user-supplied substitution (default:
is applied, then a weak attempt is made to extend that substitution
so that even those hypotheses can be relieved. However, if even one
hypothesis remains unrelieved, then no automatic extension of the
substitution is made, and in fact hypotheses that contain even one
uninstantiated variable will remain unrelieved.
Finally, the instruction is applied as follows. The current subterm
is replaced by applying the final substitution, i.e., the extension
unify-subst by the user-supplied substitution which may in turn
be extended by the system (as explained above) in order to relieve
all hypotheses, to the right-hand side of the selected rewrite rule.
And, one new subgoal is created for each unrelieved hypothesis of
the rule, whose top-level hypotheses are the governors and top-level
hypotheses of the current goal and whose conclusion and current
subterm are the instance, by that same final substitution, of that
unrelieved hypothesis.
Note: The substitution argument should be a list whose elements
have the form
(variable term), where
term may contain

Passwords: Tony Hoagland on Tomas Tranströmer
Swedish Nobel Laureate Tomas Tranströmer, poet, psychologist, and translator, is perhaps best known for his mastery of the poetic image. Presenting some of the poet's most resonant and ambitious poems, Tony Hoagland explores his collage-like layering of contrasting perceptions and registers that, defying logical apprehension, come together, defining Tranströmer as a master craftsman of sensibility.
Tony Hoagland is a poet and educator. His books of poetry include Unincorporated Personas in the Late Honda Dynasty (2010), What Narcissism Means to Me (2003), and Donkey Gospel (1998), which received the James Laughlin Award. His first book, Sweet Rain (1992), was awarded the Brittingham Prize in Poetry. In 2005, he received the Mark Twain Award in recognition of his contribution to humor in American poetry. He teaches in the graduate writing program at the University of Houston and in the MFA program at Warren Wilson.

Today we have a re-post from one of our colleagues on the sunny side of NASA. Karen C. Fox is a writer for NASA's Heliophysics division.
A new kind of television recently made headlines at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show: Ultra High Definition TV. With four times as many pixels as a current high definition (HD) TV, viewers reported being impressed with how crisp and vibrant the pictures appear.
This comes as no surprise to scientists who study the Sun using NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). Its Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and Helioseismic Magnetic Imager (HMI) together capture an image every second that is twice as large as what the ultra high-def screens can display. Such detailed pictures show features on the Sun that are as small as 200 miles across, helping researchers observe what causes giant eruptions known as coronal mass ejections (CME), which can travel toward Earth and interfere with our satellites.
One concern about the new TVs is that there's not yet enough content to make use of the opulent amount of pixels. SDO can help with that. As of December 2012, the solar observatory had captured 100 million images, which — if watched at a standard video rate of 30 frames per second — would mean a viewer could watch eight hours of Sun movies a day for almost four months.

Campeche City
San Francisco de Campeche (Campeche City), capital of the state of Campeche, Mexico, has recovered his ancient name: San Francisco de Campeche. This city was named "World Heritage Site" by UNESCO in 1999. Campeche used to be the principal town of the Mayan province of Cam Pech, which means "Place of the Boa serpent" and which was founded around the 3rd century A. D. In 1541 the Spanish Francisco de Montejo founded the "Villa de San Francisco de Campeche". For centuries this town was pummeled by pirate attacks. Campeche City is a walled one of Mexico's best-preserved historic centers. It has a system of fortifications that includes Forts, Baluartes (Bastions) with cannons on the battlement roof, defensive walls and harbor military facilities. San Francisco de Campeche is an example of the military architecture of the 17th and 18th centuries. This fortifications may be seen along a seaside promenade.
Interesting sites within the historic center of Campeche include the Cathedral, built in 1540 and the oldest on the Yucatán Peninsula, the San Franciscan Church also built in the 16th century, The Casa 6 (House 6), the Carvajal Mansion, the protective walls and garrisons and the colonial houses.

STILLPOINT Archive: last updated 05/30/2012
In 2004 Professor Irv Levy explained to his organic chemistry class how chemists can prepare molecules that were previously unknown, because of some potential use they may have: a better pain reliever, a better engine lubricant, or—his playful example—an ingredient that could make Twinkies stay fresh forever.
Unknown to Levy, several students took this as a challenge to see how long Twinkies stay fresh without that magic ingredient. Jenn Kerry '06, Jenn Hayden '06 and Eric Mehlberg '06 "dined on Twinkies before class started and before Prof. Levy popped open his perpetual can of soda," Jenn K. writes. "We shared the moment in the second row on the left-hand side of the ultra-orange organic chemistry classroom: orange tile, walls, furniture, benches, art and periodic table of the elements. Jenn Hayden and I each bought a box of ten Twinkies; we vowed to eat one each year on Groundhog Day until they were gone."
Every year since, the two women have eaten another (progressively less fresh) Twinkie. This past Groundhog Day they ate Twinkie #9. Groundhog Day 2013 will bring the experiment full circle. "Our real goal with this experiment," Jenn K. admits, "was to have a reason to keep in touch for as long as possible if only for one day a year. We call to compare notes, and then we talk for hours."

John Fogerty, "Wrote a Song for Everyone" (Vanguard)
For certain Boomers, listening to the songs on John Fogerty's "Wrote a Song For Everyone" will be like reacquainting with old friends, their wisdom and vitality still exhilarating after all these years. For post-Boomers, the album can serve as an introduction to the kind of meaty, foursquare guitar rock that has largely disappeared from the pop charts.
"Wrote a Song" is a Fogerty tribute album that comes with the artist's seal of approval. In fact, he sings on every cut, making it a duets album, too.
Fogerty, who turns 68 on Tuesday, recruited an array of younger artists to help resurrect some of his biggest hits, and the results rock. Highlights include a thunderous performance of "Fortunate Son" featuring the Foo Fighters and Fogerty sound-alike Dave Grohl; the 1997 obscurity "Hot Rod Heart," with Brad Paisley revving up his guitar; and a rollicking "Proud Mary," reclaimed from marching band songbooks everywhere by Jennifer Hudson, Allen Toussaint and the Rebirth Brass Band.
Fogerty himself remains a mighty singer, and shows he hasn't lost his knack as a songwriter either. Two new tunes fit right in, which is impressive given such distinguished company.


text: Student Profiles Peter Rocco '07 Peter Rocco '07 Hometown: Brooklyn, New York Major: German and Sociology Why did you choose to come to Bowdoin? The only stipulation I had in my college selection process was that my school not be in New York City. I'm from Brooklyn, and while I love my hometown, I thought it would be beneficial to get away for a bit. I first heard of Bowdoin from a high school friend in the class ahead of mine who decided to go there. I visited him in April of my senior year and got a really good vibe. The things that stayed with me from that trip were my friend's rave reviews of life at Bowdoin, the great weather, and a certain positive energy that I can't really explain. On a more practical level, I liked that Bowdoin was connected to what seemed like a vibrant little town, so it wasn't totally isolated. Why did you choose your major? I knew I wanted to learn a foreign language. I had positive associations with German from a high school history teacher who would include strange and interesting words like Weltanschauung and Schadenfreude in her lessons, so German it was! Four years later, I've learned many more strange and interesting words, but more importantly I've learned to think critically in cultural and historical (and of course linguistic) contexts foreign to my own. Sociology is a similar story, insofar as I just wanted to try something new. I took Introduction to Sociology during the spring of my first year, and it was like a whole new intellectual world opened up. I had to think about issues in a way I had never previously known. That excited me then, and remains stimulating now. What has been a course you especially enjoyed at Bowdoin? A number of classes stick out. A poetry workshop I took sophomore year with Professor Anthony Walton was a lot of fun. It met once a week for three hours on Monday night, and there were only a handful of students. It all made for a very intimate and intense experience. My junior spring I really enjoyed a seminar in the German department with Professor Birgit Tautz that dealt with changing conceptions of color, race, and ethnicity at the turns of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Last semester I took a 200-level history class on Germany from 1919-1945, with Professor Page Herrlinger. It's a period I hadn't dealt with extensively, and looking at Nazism through an academic (rather than an emotional) lens was absolutely fascinating, not to mention disturbing. What professor or professors have especially inspired you during your time at Bowdoin? Professor Kristen Ghodsee in the gender and women's studies program was very influential on my way of thinking during freshman and sophomore years. Unfortunately, she has been on sabbatical for what seems like forever, so I was able to take only two classes with her. I also had contact with her through what is now called the Democratic Left, for which she was the faculty advisor. Music Professor Robert Greenlee, whom everyone calls Robby, has been my choir conductor for the past four years. He's kind of indescribable, but in a good way. Suffice to say that at the end of every semester the choir compiles a list of "Robbyisms," which are generally Robby's unique descriptions of how he wants us to sound (as opposed to how we do sound), or what he wants us to sing like. Examples range from singing like Russian peasants (good) to sounding like wet cardboard (bad). The best part is that this works! If there is any professor I could call a mentor, it would probably be Professor Tautz. She taught my German 101 class, and I feel a certain debt for that splendid introduction to the language. In all of my dealings with her, she has displayed patience and perceptiveness, and she has always prodded me to achieve my intellectual potential. What extracurricular or work experiences have you had at Bowdoin? Though the Chamber Choir is technically a class, I consider it a respite from my other academic activities. It's been a joy and a privilege being instructed by Robby for four years. An added bonus is that the choir has traveled to California and Chile during my time here. I am also a member of Ursus Verses, one of two coed a cappella groups on campus. Ursus is really my pride and joy, something I'm just proud to have been a part of since before I even started here (I sang a gig with the group the summer before my freshman year). Some of my closest friendships and fondest memories are directly attributable to my being in Ursus. Freshman and sophomore years I worked at Thorne dining hall as a dishwasher, line server and SuperSnack assistant. I am proud to say that I was named an Outstanding Student Employee my freshman year, for which I received some cool stationery and ice cream with hot fudge. Since last spring I have worked at the circulation desk of Hawthorne-Longfellow Library. It's a great job because my supervisors are really wonderful people, and I just love being around books. Did you study abroad during your time at Bowdoin? During the Fall 2005 semester I studied in Berlin through the Center for the International Education of Students (IES). It was important for me to finally immerse myself in the German language, and I was able to do that, thanks in part to my absurdly friendly host family. I strongly recommend that everyone — and I mean everyone — visit Berlin at least once. What is your best Bowdoin memory? A short list: riding the mechanical bull with a broken finger my freshman year (bad idea), Chamber Choir trips to California and Chile, and a weekend retreat with Ursus my sophomore year. What advice would you give to a prospective student or first-year about the Bowdoin experience? Try new things. You don't have as much time here as you think. Also, don't get stuck fulfilling requirements your senior year (ahem). What quirky or fun thing did you wish you knew before you came to Bowdoin? Just how many great little stores there are in Brunswick. Two of my favorites are Gulf of Maine bookstore and Bart and Greg's DVD Explosion.

Clothing retailer Men's Wearhouse (NYSE: MW) on Wednesday, in a wholly unexpected move, fired George Zimmer, the company's founder and longtime face of the business.
For years the company's television advertisements have ended with the bearded and nattily dressed Zimmer intoning, "You're going to like the way you look. I guarantee it."
Continue Reading Below
In a statement, the company gave no reason for terminating Zimmer, who served as executive chairman, saying only that the board "expects to discuss with Mr. Zimmer the extent, if any, and terms of his ongoing relationship with the company."
Zimmer released a statement Wednesday saying, "Over the past several months I have expressed my concerns to the board about the direction the company is currently heading." He added that the board has "inappropriately chosen to silence my concerns by terminating me."
Zimmer first appeared in Men's Wearhouse advertisements in 1985, according to the company's website. As of noon Wednesday, the site still prominently featured Zimmer.
In the wake of Zimmer's firing, Men's Wearhouse cancelled its annual meeting of shareholders scheduled to take place Wednesday. The company said the postponement will allow the company to re-nominate the current board of directors "without Mr. Zimmer."
Men's Warehouse shares were down 91 cents, or 2.43% at $36.56 in midday trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Zimmer founded the company in 1973 as a single store in Texas. The company, now based in Fremont, Calif., currently operates 1,143 stores under the Men's Wearhouse, Moores and K&G chains. It also sells uniform and work clothes, and rents tuxedos.
In addition, Men's Wearhouse runs a global corporate apparel and workwear group that includes Twin Hill in the U.S. and Dimensions, Alexandra, and Yaffy in the United Kingdom.
Zimmer's firing comes just a week after the company reported that its fiscal first-quarter profit increased 23%, boosted by stronger margins and an earlier prom season.

Resident is right to criticize new ramp
Mr. Russ Paskoski is quite correct in characterizing the renovated Fort Getty boat ramp as "non-functional" (July 28, 2011: "Renovated Fort Getty boat ramp 'useless'").
It has indeed reduced boat trailer access to and from the water. What a shame that the island affords no egress for trailered boats when waters are lower, a longstanding inconvenience of no small magnitude. Harbormaster Sam Patterson made reference to the gully – now, no longer there – that had developed over the years. Is this not the rare circumstance that might suggest, "When you are in a hole, keep digging?"

As with any new software version, Microsoft has added features to Exchange Server 2010 to make it more attractive to customers and give them more incentive to upgrade or switch from other vendors' products. But as is also typical, some of these features start to encroach on territory traditionally covered by third-party vendor products. The most notable example with Exchange 2010 is probably the new built-in email archiving functionality. The upside of this development cycle is the possibility for organizations to deploy Exchange with less need of additional support products and thereby save money. But that's not necessarily good news for the suppliers of those products.
Or so I thought, until I spoke with some of the vendors that currently have products that Exchange 2010's new features encroach upon. Robert Haaverson, CEO and CTO of Imanami, a company that provides group management features, talking about Microsoft's new release cycle, said, "The biggest innovations always come during these times." Haaverson takes new Microsoft developments as a challenge to improve Imanami's offerings. "It forces us third parties to build bigger and better things faster. We definitely can stay ahead of them. That's what third parties do," he said.
Exchange 2010 introduces new group management features such as the ability for end users to create and manage distribution groups. Commenting on this point, Haaverson said, "There's a gap between what \[Exchange\] 2010 does and what our product does. In other words, our product doesn't do everything that 2010 does. But there's a bigger gap between what 2010 does and what we do, meaning that our product does a lot of other things that Exchange 2010 can't do. So for a third-party vendor, it forces you to fix your negative gap—the part that they're ahead of you on—it forces you to fix that part first, and then build bigger and better things that go beyond their functionality."
Several other vendors I've spoken with have echoed Haaverson's stance. On one hand, Microsoft provides a new competitor, while on the other hand that competition provides impetus for innovation. Frank Mitchell, product director for Metalogix, said, "Microsoft's a huge partner of ours. It's not an adversarial discussion." But at the same time, Mitchell points out that Exchange 2010's email archiving feature isn't really a match for what Metalogix already offers. "You don't want end users deciding what an archive is for themselves. There's a chain of custody discussion there, there's the ability to search that. I think there are limitations to the archive in 2010," he said.
Of course, the email archiving feature being introduced with Exchange 2010 isn't as fully featured as what you would find from any number of third-party vendors. In fact, the way Microsoft has implemented this feature, it really just appears to be a means of getting around the use of PSTs. It's controlled by end users, but the archive file is stored back on the same Exchange server, rather than on users' local drives. This architecture makes for easier backup and discovery, but critics say the extra data stored on the server can lead to reduced performance.
According to Ian Hameroff, a senior product manager with Microsoft, "We have a very strong belief that our customers get the best experience when the mail data is in Exchange. And our approach for archiving and retention and discovery keeps all that mail data in Exchange so we can deliver that full fidelity user experience and administrative experience. But at the same time, we also recognize that there may be some things that we don't do to the same extent, especially for complex compliance scenarios or regulations."
Hameroff and others at Microsoft continue to stress their commitment to working with third-party vendors to support Microsoft products. It even appears that there's a certain amount of planning for third-party support that's gone into the development of Exchange 2010. As Hameroff said, "We have our foundational capabilities built in to the product, and we have APIs that we're shipping—and we'll be shipping additional ones in subsequent milestones—that allow these third-party products to plug in and build on top of Exchange 2010."
So for the time being, Exchange 2010's built-in archive doesn't appear to be a serious threat to third-party email archiving vendors; other product areas might have somewhat greater challenges. Nonetheless, vendors and software developers who take on this challenge and use it to push their products forward, should continue to thrive. Most importantly, the ones that listen to their customers—the Exchange professionals in the field—and cater to their needs, should stay a step ahead of Microsoft in this constant chase.

A Proper Monitoring Solution
If you are frustrated by the current state of PP's monitoring capabilities, I encourage you to Copy/Paste the following into the Feature Request Form. Let's all band together and finally get this much needed feature DONE!
Any professional will tell you that an NLE needs an outside monitoring solution – for proper interlaced viewing, for color corrections, etc. Premiere Pro has in the past handled this job by passing it off to third parties like Matrox, AJA and Black Magic. But all of those solutions have their own issues and limitations (not to mention additional costs), and their time is at an end. The modern day graphics cards already installed in many NLE workstations are more than capable of stepping into the role. It's way past time Premiere Pro had a proper monitoring solution, without third party hardware or codecs. Here is what is needed and wanted:
1. Any graphics card with appropriate capabilities should work.
2. Premiere Pro (and After Effects, Photoshop, Encore) need to tap directly into the video port on that graphics card, be it composite, component, S-video or HDMI.
3. There is to be NO cloning or extending of the desktop. If Adobe apps are closed, nothing is sent out of the port.
4. For the Thumbnail and Source monitor, a signal matching the clip is to be sent to the video port on the card without alteration. Ports that cannot handle such a signal will get black. (i.e. Sending an HD signal to a composite port.)
5. For the Program Monitor, a signal matching the Sequence Properties (resolution, frame rate, field order, PAR, etc.) must be sent to the video port on the card. All scaling, deinterlacing, frame blending, pulldown insertion, etc. required to conform the footage in the sequence to the sequence settings must be done before sending the signal to the port, so that only a signal matching the sequence is output by the card, regardless of what's actually in the sequence.
Items 4 and 5 define what is "proper monitoring", and all third party cards should be doing this now. (If they're not, Adobe needs to jump on them to get it right.) Items 1 through 3 define the new feature we want and need from Adobe and Premiere Pro.

Click here to return to American Patriot or 2012 Donations or 2012 Presidential Race - Whitehouse or Pauls Place
Hello Everyone!
My name is Paul George Tima, and I would like to announce my candidacy in the 2012 Presidential race for the Whitehouse. I recently celebrated my 52nd birthday, I'm a Christian man who's Lord and Savior is Christ-Jesus, a father and grandfather. I'm married to my beautiful and loving wife Cheryl, and we've been together 30-years this year. For the past 35-years I've been a small business owner, entrepreneur and self-employed visionary. We currently reside and work in the Greenville – Travelers Rest area of South Carolina, and have lived in several states around the country throughout the years.
Over the years I've watched this country and its economy slowly go down in a tailspin due to the lack of entrepreneurs, sound leadership and visionaries with enough capital and resources to put their concepts and ideas into reality and allow them to create new industries and millions of new jobs. Below you will find short paragraphs with links to full articles that I've written on how to lead this country forward in a positive way. Please take time to read them and join with me to make it happen for our children, grandchildren, families and friends. My Presidential theme..."2012 Return to FREEDOM".
After reading you may agree with me or disagree with me about my concepts and ideas, but I ask that you would become a Part of the Solution - Not Be - Part of the Problem. If you like my concepts and ideas, join with me, if not, please send me yours in a positive way so together we can make a higher standard of living for all people. If you must classify me, I would call myself an American Patriot.
I look forward to hearing from you, talking with you and working for you in the very near future.
Thank-You & May God Bless You thru Prayer,Paul G. Tima
NOTE: The information written on the subjects below is a work in progress. If you have a suggestion (in a positive way) or subject you would like me to write something on and post it, please let me know.

Below is an appeal from Marlese Savage (Klein) who wonders whether a school classmates reunion is possible.....
"We left school 50 years ago in 1963 which should be enough reason to meet up again. Is there anyone out there who could try to arrange a meeting from our class?
My name is Marlese Savage (Klein) I went to Flowery Field Secondary School in Hyde from 1959 to 1963. I've Lived in Germany since 1968 and my only contact to our class was Lesley Turner (Morton) who died over 10 years ago and John Howarth who lives in the USA.I enclose a photograph of our class taken just before Christmas 1962. I am the one with the cross on.I will be in Hyde from 14-18 th April, incase any one is interested please contact me by my Email address
email@example.com we could meet and arrange something for the late summer."

It's not everyday you see a smoking hot Latina all dressed up just waiting by the side of the road for someone to pick her up. It turned out the guys were in luck. Kitty was a Perfect 10, was all dressed up glamorously and was waiting by the side of the road bored as hell. The guys pulled up and made some small talk. Turned out Kitty was very approachable. She explained that her ride had sold her out, and she had no way to get back home. The guys offered her a ride, and she came along, especially when she found out their was modeling money in the equation.
Kitty had is all. This Latina was a pretty as they come, had an ass on her that was sweeter than honey, had prefect skin and some nice tits. But Jmac was in for an even bigger surprise when they got down to the action because Kitty was a freak. She got on all fours and gave Jmac a killer blow job he'd never forget. Then when he was hard, she got on top and rode him like a mad woman. Kitty came hard as hell, and when Jmac was ready for his turn, he pulled out and busted his load all over that beautiful face.

Paralabrax nebulifer
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Paralabrax nebulifer (Girard, 1854)
Common Name(s):
Labrax nebulifer Girard, 1854
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Smith-Vaniz, B, Robertson, R., Dominici-Arosemena, A., Molina, H., Salas, E. & Guzman-Mora, A.G.
|Carpenter, K., Polidoro, B. & Livingstone, S. (Global Marine Species Assessment Team)
This species is restricted to southern California, Baja California, and the Gulf of Mexico, and is important in recreational fisheries. Populations in California appear to be stable given the closure of the commerical fishery and implementation of catch size limits in recreational fisheries. Furthermore, this species is expected to benefit from the implementation of a system of effective no-take Marine Protected Areas in Southern California. It is listed as Least Concern. However, given that it is still heavily fished in many parts of its range, this species should continue to be carefully monitored.
|Range Description:
|This species is endemic to the Eastern Pacific, and is found from southern California to the tip of Baja California, and the southwest Gulf of California.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Mexico; United States
|FAO Marine Fishing Areas:
Pacific – eastern central

|There is no population information for this species. This is a common species.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This reef-associated species is found on sand substrata among or near rocks from shallow areas to about 185m depth, however it is most common in above 30m. Juveniles feed on benthic invertebrates (crabs, bivalves, and mysids) and rarely fish; while adults prey on fishes (especially Porichthys notatus) and also on crustaceans (Heemstra 1995).
A juvenile barred reaches sexual maturity at 3 to 5 years at a length of 7 to 10.5 in. The oldest known barred sand bass was determined to be 24 years old (California Fish and Game, 2004).
Barred sand bass gather to breed over sandy bottoms at depths of 60 to 120 ft in the late spring and summer months. Spawning occurs from April through November, usually peaking in July. Barred sand bass produce numerous small, free-drifting eggs that enter the plankton in coastal waters. In the early 1970s, evidence was presented that tumors,
deformities, and other anomalies found in barred sand bass may have been linked to industrial and domestic wastes discharged into the nearshore environment. Reports of such abnormalities have decreased over the past two decades (California Fish and Game, 2004).
|Use and Trade:
|This species is an important game fish. Since the late 1970s, this species has consistently ranked among the top ten species in the southern California marine sport fish catch (California Fish and Game, 2004). Annual landings from all sport fishing modes (shore, pier,private boat, CPFVs, etc.) have averaged about 846,000 fish per year since 1980, with a peak landing of 2.1 million fish in 1988, and CPFV data indicates that the catch of barred sand bass generally increased from 1975 through 2001 (California Fish and Game, 2004).
|Major Threat(s):
|There are no major threats known for this species.
|Conservation Actions:
|Commercial fishing of this species has been prohibited in California since the 1950's. In addition, size limits of 12-inches minimum size apply for sport fishing with a bag limit of 10 Paralabrax spp. This species' distribution includes a number of Marine Protected Areas in southern California currently being developed that will offer greatly enhanced protection.

Shark and ray experts from around the world gathered last week at the Zoological Society of London to address the plight of the most threatened marine fishes in the world – the sawfishes. The group, convened by the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) Shark Specialist Group, is breaking new ground with the development of a focused global action plan to bring these iconic species back from the brink of extinction.
Once found in tropical and subtropical waters throughout the world, all species of sawfish are now listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™. They have been revered by coastal societies throughout the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific Oceans for centuries. Today, ancient art, folklore, and mythology are almost all that is left to remind us of how widespread and abundant they were. Sawfishes are still featured on Thai postage stamps and West African currency, but the chance of seeing a sawfish in either region, or anywhere else other than the USA or Australia, is exceedingly low.
As their name suggests, sawfishes can be easily identified by their long, toothed rostra or "saws". Long valued for medicinal and cultural purposes, and as curios, this most distinctive feature has been central to their downfall. The rostra are easily entangled in all kinds of fishing nets that are used extensively throughout the shallow coastal waters and river estuaries where sawfishes live.
Beyond this vulnerability to fishing gear, sawfishes, like other rays and sharks, are especially susceptible to overfishing because they tend to grow slowly, mature late, and produce few young. The loss of nearshore habitats that are critical for sawfish, particularly mangroves, also poses a threat to their survival, as does strong demand for their fins, which are used in the Asian celebratory dish, shark fin soup.
International trade in sawfish parts was banned through listing on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) in 2007. Sawfishes are being increasingly protected in countries such as Brazil, India, Guinea Bissau, and Bahrain, but remain unprotected in other key countries within their range, such as Cuba, Madagascar, Pakistan, and Papua New Guinea. Around the world, sawfish conservation is hampered by a lack of awareness, political will, and financial resources, particularly in developing countries.
IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group leaders will present the key results of this week's meetings, including recommendations for priority activities to; fisheries policy makers during the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Committee on Fisheries in July; and the IUCN World Conservation Congress in September. The final Global Sawfish Conservation Strategy is expected to be published in early 2013.

I've recently started to experiment with wearing red. I really think that you've helped open my eyes to the colour. I've spent a good many years not liking red, but it really is especially striking- thanks for showing the way. I'm very surprised to see you say that you don't wear red yourself, I guess I'd assumed that you would given your gorgeous red lunettes. I am a little disappointed that it is still boot weather- I'm looking forward to a summer holiday!ReplyDelete

So I just hop onto the forum for a sec and I see this neat little button that's never been there before. What a nice surprise
So anyway, hey guys! I'm Tim from southern Wisconsin. I joined up to the forum a little bit ago to just kinda lurk and learn. Kinda thought that I would still have some newbie questions to ask by the time I was able to start threads, but.... I kinda figured a lot of it out myself during that time. Crazy what a little research can do huh?
Little bit about me, I grew up in the 90's and absolute love the 16-bit era. I was always an SNES kid but always remembered playing those cool games in the red cabinets at the bowling ally and at the Pizza Hut in town. To a younger kid, the games seemed just a little different and a little cooler than what I could play at home. I always remember the one at Pizza Hut that had the robots and people playing baseball together in the future. Then of course there were those fighting games that were kinda like Street Fighter II except wherever I tried to play, I would just get fucking annihilated.
Which brings me to today. I'm a software dev, got 3 kids and a brand new wife (this past Saturday, in Cabo on the honeymoon right now), a house, and a couple bucks extra every month to pursue stuff that I love. The "new" wife (6 years together) is always supportive as hell of my hobbies, which is great because none of them are ever cheap.
For a while now I've been looking into those "other" 16-bit games that I never had access to. I knew all the big names but not anything about how they came from SNK and all that. After learning a bunch about the Neo platform, I'm finally able to start getting set up at home.
Well that's my life story for now. The Misses is giving me the eye because she wants to go to dinner.
Later guys!

During my first meal at Cesare Casella's Salumeria Rosi Parmacotto on Madison Avenue the other night, I thought: OMG, a new, grown-up, cliché-free Italian menu from a big-name chef! How 2006!
And there's a whole, brave new Boot brigade coming in the months ahead. After several bleak years when Italian cuisine lost its buzz, it's roaring back — not that the Asian-, Brooklyn- and whole-animal-eating obsessed media noticed.
After a barren summer followed by zillions of restaurant openings and weird format changes, it took time for a legitimate theme to emerge. As usual, gimmicks hog all the attention — from Eleven Madison Park's Gray Line-like local history spiel to the promise (threat?) of horsemeat at M. Wells Dinette.
Supposed Korean and Spanish "booms" mainly involve places tiny, remote and/or lacking in star power. The Italian trend, on the other hand, is driven by owners and chefs with impressive track records. And they're bringing back the regional and interpretive styles that too briefly galvanized the dining millions just a few years ago.
On tap soon: the Maccioni family's Tuscan-esque Sirio's in the old Le Caprice space at the Pierre Hotel. Carbone, which aims to improve on Italian-American red-sauce favorites, from the Torrisi Italian Specialties team on Mulberry Street. An uptown, Abruzzo-focused Il Mulino on East 60th Street. Roman-tinged L'Apicio from the Dell'anima gang on First Street.
Next month will see the launch of Venetian-themed All'Onda on East 13th Street, marking the comeback of former Alto and Convivio owner Chris Cannon with former Ai Fiori chef de cuisine Chris Jaeckle in the kitchen.
By winter, Cannon's ex-partner, the great Michael White, will turn the old Centolire space into Ristorante Morini, an adult version of his popular Osteria Morini downtown.
Centolire was run by Pino Luongo, the pioneer who turned New Yorkers onto Tuscan dishes in the 1980s and early '90s. He's lost all his places but one, struggling Morso on East 59th — a 2011 underachiever that could stand for a proud cuisine's recent retrenchment.
Enlightened Italian menus ruled the scene just a few years ago — a thrill ride that brought us still-captivating Scarpetta, Marea and A Voce at two locations. Then came the recession-driven closing of Fiamma, the mysterious ends of Alto and Convivio, the dumbing-down of Insieme (now also closed) and a flood of mediocrities like Valbella and Casa Nonna.
Now the big boys are back. May olive oil rule again.

Disney California Adventure Park
Buena Vista Street
All Ages
Slow Rides, Loud
Accessibility and Other Information - Opens Dialog
Getting Around
Ding! Ding! Hop aboard for a ride on Buena Vista Street and throughout Hollywood Land.
With 4 convenient stops, and cars running approximately 8 minutes, take a scenic ride on a vintage street car.
Board or disembark at any of the following locations:
Look for a bit of Disney history in the interior and exterior details of each of the 2 different cars.
Significant Numbers
Each car is assigned a number that corresponds to significant dates in the Disneyland Resort history.
The red Red Car Trolley is #717—which honors the date Walt Disney dedicated the Disneyland Park: July 17, 1955.
The green Red Car Trolley is #623. In the summer of 1923, Walt Disney and his brother, Roy, arrived in Los Angeles and founded The Walt Disney Company.
Vintage-Looking Ads
Inside both Red Car Trolley vehicles find retro-styled advertisements.
These fun ads, for some of the Buena Vista Street food and merchandise locations, feature names that may be familiar—like Clarabelle's Hand Scooped Ice Cream (for Clarabelle Cow) and Mortimer's Market (Mortimer was Mickey Mouse's original name).
The Red Car
The red Red Car Trolley is based on the model of trolleys that rolled across Los Angeles streets in 1925. This is the same model that's seen in the groundbreaking feature film Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988).
These cars, inspired by the historic Pacific Electric Railway trolleys from the 1920s. It was in 1923 that Walt Disney, a young cartoonist with $40 in his pocket and no job, arrived in Los Angeles.
The Original Trolley Cars
By 1925, Southern California tycoon Henry Huntington had built the Pacific Electric Railway and turned it into the largest electrical railways anywhere in the world, with more than 1,000 miles of active track.
The original Pacific Electric Red Cars criss-crossed the Los Angeles area from 1887 until 1961, when this impressive transportation network gave way to the automobile.
"Power"-ful Props
Similar to the original "Hollywood Car" trolleys, the Red Car Trolley vehicles are entirely powered by electricity and are emissions-free vehicles.
However, unlike the original "Hollywood Car" trolleys, the Disney California Adventure cars run on batteries. The overhead wires are just for show!
Travel to the Past
Travel back in time during a leisurely ride on a Red Car Trolley and experience an idealized Los Angeles as Roy & Walt Disney may have seen it.

Auburn coach Gus Malzahn says there's "zero documented evidence" that uptempo offenses lead to more injuries.
Malzahn said Tuesday that he's talked "numerous times" to Air Force coach Troy Calhoun since a rule proposal was passed last week to slow down those offenses. Calhoun is chairman of the committee that considered the proposal.
If passed, the rule would give defenses time to substitute by penalizing offenses for snapping the ball before the 40-second play clock reaches 29 seconds.
Malzahn says he urged Calhoun to push the rules change back to next year when both sides can have "a healthy debate." He says he wasn't aware that such a proposal was being discussed. Malzahn says he's been running it since 1997 and has never felt like it was a health issue.

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — In a defiant speech, Tunisia's prime minister rejected opposition demands that his government step down and promised on Monday to complete the country's democratic transition with a new constitution by August and elections in December.
The assassination of two opposition legislators over the last six months has plunged Tunisia — the birthplace of the Arab Spring — into a crisis with anti-government protests, the resignation of a Cabinet minister, and a walkout by dozens of lawmakers.
The standoff was given extra urgency by a bloody ambush that took place Monday in a mountainous region near the Algerian border known as a hideout for Islamic militants that left at least 9 soldiers dead, according to a local hospital.
Prime Minister Ali Larayedh's fiery speech, in which he called those wanting to dissolve the government "anarchists" and "opportunists," is unlikely to appease an angry opposition that says the Islamist-led government has failed to carry out the political transition promised after the overthrow of Tunisia's dictator in January 2011.
With many of the countries that saw pro-democracy uprisings during the Arab Spring heading toward chaos or renewed authoritarianism, Tunisia was considered the best hope for democracy in the region — until its current crisis.
On Thursday, left-wing Tunisian politician Mohammed Brahmi was assassinated in Tunis, shot 14 times outside his home in front of his family. That followed the killing of another left-wing opposition legislator, Chokri Belaid, in February.
On Sunday night, thousands of people demonstrated in front of the elected assembly charged with writing the country's new constitution and demanded that it be dissolved along with the government. Dozens of opposition lawmakers have suspended their participation in the assembly, and Education Minister Salem Labiadh submitted his resignation on Monday.
Even more serious for the government, the governing coalition appears to be breaking apart. Mohammed Bennour, spokesman for the left-of-center Ettakatol (Forum) Party, said his group wants to withdraw from the coalition and dissolve the government. That would leave the moderate Islamist Ennahda Party that dominates the coalition even more isolated.
But Larayedh struck a defiant note in his speech, maintaining that the "dissolution of the assembly and the government would not help the situation or gain us time."
In his televised speech, during which he often banged on a podium, he presented a road map for completing the long drawn out democratic transition with a new constitution by the end of August and the passage of the needed election laws by Oct. 23 — the anniversary of the date in 2011 that brought the Ennahda Party to power.
He said an election for a new legislative body would be held on Dec. 17, the third anniversary of the self-immolation of itinerant fruit seller Mohammed Bouazizi that sparked the uprising that overthrow dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali a month later.
The constitutional assembly was supposed to write a constitution and hold new elections within a year. Instead the transition has dragged on for nearly two years as the country has been beset by social unrest, a faltering economy and terrorist attacks.
Larayedh promised to hold "free and fair elections under international supervision" and said the government is open to any dialogue and proposals to complete the transition. He said he is even open to a Cabinet reshuffle.
"Dialogue should not be in the streets or through violence but at the table and about strategies and plans," he said.
Larayedh maintained, however, that those calling for dissolving the assembly and government were small groups, and he threatened to mobilize government supporters against them to preserve public order.
On Sunday night, thousands of government supporters did come out to confront those protesting in front of the assembly and police had to separate them.
Interior Ministry spokesman Mohammed Ali Aroui said Monday that security forces committed some abuses while dispersing protesters with tear gas early Monday. But he defended their efforts to avoid what he called a "blood bath" between the rival demonstrations.
There also have been anti-government protests in several cities in the interior of Tunisia since Thursday's assassination.
