MASTERPOST: Mericcup GIFs(original post date: Nov 2012)Hello, everyone!I am posting some Merida/Hiccup GIFs that I made for these:Since stamps are quite tiny and you can't really use them outside deviantArt, I've decided to upload the original GIFs. I didn't want to submit each one as a deviation so I've collected them into one masterpost instead.Feel free to use, provided that:1) you do not hotlink the images (right-click and save as, please; I don't want to have to re-upload these)2) you do not alter them (ask permission first if you want to make any changes)3) you do not claim them as your own4) you credit back to the original makers.In addition, if there is anyone who has made or come across other Mericcup-related GIFs, comment with a link to the image so that I may add them below. This entry serves as our group index.This masterpost will be frequently updated.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Comparison of Unicode encodings
This article compares Unicode encodings. Two situations are considered: 8-bit-clean environments, and environments that forbid use of byte values that have the high bit set. Originally such prohibitions were to allow for links that used only seven data bits, but they remain in the standards and so software must generate messages that comply with the restrictions. Standard Compression Scheme for Unicode and Binary Ordered Compression for Unicode are excluded from the comparison tables because it is difficult to simply quantify their size.
Compatibility issues[edit]
A UTF-8 file that contains only ASCII characters is identical to an ASCII file. Legacy programs can generally handle UTF-8 encoded files, even if they contain non-ASCII characters. For instance, the C printf function can print a UTF-8 string, as it only looks for the ASCII '%' character to define a formatting string, and prints all other bytes unchanged, thus non-ASCII characters will be output unchanged.
UTF-16 and UTF-32 are incompatible with ASCII files, and thus require Unicode-aware programs to display, print and manipulate them, even if the file is known to contain only characters in the ASCII subset. Because they contain many zero bytes, the strings cannot be manipulated by normal null-terminated string handling for even simple operations such as copy.
Therefore, even on most UTF-16 systems such as Windows and Java, UTF-16 text files are not common; older 8-bit encodings such as ASCII or ISO-8859-1 are still used for text files without supporting all the characters of Unicode, or UTF-8 is used that does. One of the few counterexamples of a UTF-16 file is the "strings" file used by Mac OS X (10.3 and later) applications for lookup of internationalized versions of messages, these default to UTF-16 and "files encoded using UTF-8 are not guaranteed to work. When in doubt, encode the file using UTF-16".[1]
XML is, by default, encoded as UTF-8, and all XML processors must at least support UTF-8 (including US-ASCII by definition) and UTF-16.[2]
UTF-8 requires either 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits (one to four octets) to encode a Unicode character, UTF-16 requires either 16 or 32 bits to encode a character, and UTF-32 always requires 32 bits to encode a character. The first 128 Unicode code points, U+0000 to U+007F, used for the C0 Controls and Basic Latin characters and which correspond one-to-one to their ASCII-code equivalents, are encoded using 8 bits in UTF-8, 16 bits in UTF-16, and 32 bits in UTF-32. The next 1,920 characters, U+0080 to U+07FF (encompassing the remainder of almost all Latin alphabets, and also Greek, Cyrillic, Coptic, Armenian, Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, Tāna and N'Ko), require 16 bits to encode in both UTF-8 and UTF-16, and 32 bits in UTF-32. For U+0800 to U+FFFF, i.e. the remainder of the characters in the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP, plane 0, U+0000 to U+FFFF), which encompasses the rest of the characters of most of the world's living languages, UTF-8 needs 24 bits to encode a character, while UTF-16 needs 16 bits and UTF-32 needs 32. Code points U+010000 to U+10FFFF, which represent characters in the supplementary planes (planes 1-16), require 32 bits in UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32. All printable characters in UTF-EBCDIC use at least as many bytes as in UTF-8, and most use more, due to a decision made to allow encoding the C1 control codes as single bytes. For seven-bit environments, UTF-7 is more space efficient than the combination of other Unicode encodings with quoted-printable or base64 for almost all types of text (see "Seven-bit environments" below).
Each format has its own set of advantages and disadvantages with respect to storage efficiency (and thus also of transmission time), and processing efficiency. Storage efficiency is subject to the location within the Unicode code space in which any given text's characters are predominately from. Since Unicode code space blocks are organized by character set (i.e. alphabet/script), storage efficiency of any given text effectively depends on the alphabet/script used for that text. So, for example, UTF-8 needs one less byte per character (8 versus 16 bits) than UTF-16 for the 128 code points between U+0000 and U+007F, but needs one more byte per character (24 versus 16 bits) for the 63,488 code points between U+0800 and U+FFFF. Therefore if there are more characters in the range U+0000 to U+007F than there are in the range U+0800 to U+FFFF then UTF-8 is more efficient, while if there are fewer then UTF-16 is more efficient. If the counts are equal then they are exactly the same size. A surprising result is that real-world documents written in languages that use characters only in the high range are still often shorter in UTF-8, due to the extensive use of spaces, digits, newlines, html markup, and embedded English words[citation needed].
As far as processing time is concerned, text with variable-length encoding such as UTF-8 or UTF-16 is harder to process if there is a need to find the individual code units, as opposed to working with sequences of code units. Searching is unaffected by whether the characters are variable sized, since a search for a sequence of code units does not care about the divisions (it does require that the encoding be self-synchronizing, which both UTF-8 and UTF-16 are). A common misconception is that there is a need to "find the nth character" and that this requires a fixed-length encoding; however, in real use the number n is only derived from examining the n − 1 characters, thus sequential access is needed anyway[citation needed].
On the other hand, UTF-8 is endian-neutral, while UTF-16 and UTF-32 are not. This means that when character sequences in one endian order are loaded onto a machine with a different endian order, the characters need to be converted before they can be processed efficiently. This is more of a communication problem than a computation one.
Processing issues[edit]
For processing, a format should be easy to search, truncate, and generally process safely. All normal Unicode encodings use some form of fixed size code unit. Depending on the format and the code point to be encoded, one or more of these code units will represent a Unicode code point. To allow easy searching and truncation, a sequence must not occur within a longer sequence or across the boundary of two other sequences. UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32 and UTF-EBCDIC have these important properties but UTF-7 and GB 18030 do not.
Fixed-size characters can be helpful, but even if there is a fixed byte count per code point (as in UTF-32), there is not a fixed byte count per displayed character due to combining characters. If you are working with a particular API heavily and that API has standardised on a particular Unicode encoding, it is generally a good idea to use the encoding that the API does to avoid the need to convert before every call to the API. Similarly if you are writing server-side software, it may simplify matters to use the same format for processing that you are communicating in.
UTF-16 is popular because many APIs date to the time when Unicode was 16-bit fixed width. However, using UTF-16 makes characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane a special case which increases the risk of oversights related to their handling. That said, programs that mishandle surrogate pairs probably also have problems with combining sequences, so using UTF-32 is unlikely to solve the more general problem of poor handling of multi-code-unit characters.
If any stored data is in UTF-8 (such as file contents or names), it is very difficult to write a system that uses UTF-16 or UTF-32 as an API. This is due to the oft-overlooked fact that the byte array used by UTF-8 can physically contain invalid sequences. For instance, it is impossible to fix an invalid UTF-8 filename using a UTF-16 API, as no possible UTF-16 string will translate to that invalid filename. The opposite is not true, it is trivial to translate invalid UTF-16 to a unique (though technically invalid) UTF-8 string, so a UTF-8 API can control both UTF-8 and UTF-16 files and names, making UTF-8 preferred in any such mixed environment. An unfortunate but far more common workaround used by UTF-16 systems is to interpret the UTF-8 as some other encoding such as CP-1252 and ignore the mojibake for any non-ASCII data.
For communication and storage[edit]
UTF-16 and UTF-32 are not byte oriented, so a byte order must be selected when transmitting them over a byte-oriented network or storing them in a byte-oriented file. This may be achieved by standardising on a single byte order, by specifying the endianness as part of external metadata (for example the MIME charset registry has distinct UTF-16BE and UTF-16LE registrations) or by using a byte-order mark at the start of the text. UTF-8 is byte-oriented and does not have this problem.
If the byte stream is subject to corruption then some encodings recover better than others. UTF-8 and UTF-EBCDIC are best in this regard as they can always resynchronize at the start of the next code point, GB 18030 is unable to recover after a corrupt or missing byte until the next ASCII non-number. UTF-16 and UTF-32 will handle corrupt (altered) bytes by resynchronizing on the next good code point, but an odd number of lost or spurious byte (octet)s will garble all following text.
In detail[edit]
The tables below list the number of bytes per code point for different Unicode ranges. Any additional comments needed are included in the table. The figures assume that overheads at the start and end of the block of text are negligible.
N.B. The tables below list numbers of bytes per code point, not per user visible "character" (or "grapheme cluster"). It can take multiple code points to describe a single grapheme cluster, so even in UTF-32, care must be taken when splitting or concatenating strings.
Eight-bit environments[edit]
Code range (hexadecimal) | UTF-8 | UTF-16 | UTF-32 | UTF-EBCDIC | GB 18030 |
000080 – 00009F | 2 | 2 for characters inherited from GB 2312/GBK (e.g. most Chinese characters) 4 for everything else. |
Seven-bit environments[edit]
This table may not cover every special case and so should be used for estimation and comparison only. To accurately determine the size of text in an encoding, see the actual specifications.
Code range (hexadecimal) | UTF-7 | UTF-8 quoted- printable |
UTF-8 base64 | UTF-16 q.-p. | UTF-16 base64 | GB 18030 q.-p. | GB 18030 base64 |
ASCII graphic characters (except U+003D "=") |
1 for "direct characters" (depends on the encoder setting for some code points), 2 for U+002B "+", otherwise same as for 000080 – 00FFFF | 1 | 1 1⁄3 | 4 | 2 2⁄3 | 1 | 1 1⁄3 |
00003D (equals sign) | 3 | 6 | 3 | ||||
ASCII control characters: 000000 – 00001F and 00007F |
as above, depending on directness | 1 or 3 depending on directness | 1 or 3 depending on directness | ||||

Size of codes for UTF-16 do not differ for -LE and -BE versions of UTF-16. The use of UTF-32 under quoted-printable is highly impratical, but if implemented, will result in 8–12 bytes per code point (about 10 bytes in average), namely for BMP, each code point will occupy exactly 6 bytes more than the same code in quoted-printable/UTF-16. Base64/UTF-32 gets 5 1⁄3 bytes for any code point. Endianness also does not affect sizes for UTF-32.
An ASCII control character under quoted-printable or UTF-7 may be represented either directly or encoded (escaped). The need to escape a given control character depends on many circumstances, but newlines in text data are usually coded directly.
Compression schemes[edit]
BOCU-1 and SCSU are two ways to compress Unicode data. Their encoding relies on how frequently the text is used. Most runs of text use the same script; for example, Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and so on. This normal use allows many runs of text to compress down to about 1 byte per code point. These stateful encodings make it more difficult to randomly access text at any position of a string.
These two compression schemes are not as efficient as other compression schemes, like zip or bzip2. Those general-purpose compression schemes can compress longer runs of bytes to just a few bytes. The SCSU and BOCU-1 compression schemes will not compress more than the theoretical 25% of text encoded as UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32. Other general-purpose compression schemes can easily compress to 10% of original text size. The general purpose schemes require more complicated algorithms and longer chunks of text for a good compression ratio.
Unicode Technical Note #14 contains a more detailed comparison of compression schemes.
Historical: UTF-5 and UTF-6[edit]
Proposals have been made for a UTF-5 and UTF-6 for the internationalization of domain names (IDN). The UTF-5 proposal used a base 32 encoding, where Punycode is (among other things, and not exactly) a base 36 encoding. The name UTF-5 for a code unit of 5 bits is explained by the equation 25 = 32.[3] The UTF-6 proposal added a running length encoding to UTF-5, here 6 simply stands for UTF-5 plus 1.[4] The IETF IDN WG later adopted the more efficient Punycode for this purpose.[5]
Not being seriously pursued[edit]
UTF-1 never gained serious acceptance. UTF-8 is much more frequently used.
UTF-9 and UTF-18, despite being theoretically functional encodings, were not intended for practical use, mostly because systems using 9-bit bytes were largely extinct by the time they were designed.

Hewlett-Packard (HP) has made a foray into the tablet segment with the launch of ElitePad, a business tablet that is aimed at the enterprise segment.
The company, though a late entrant into the segment, introduced the tablet with an eye on tapping on mobility applications where consumers want the quick responses from the devices, according to HP Country Category Head-Personal Systems (Commercial) Sunish Raghavan.
The 10.1 inch tablet, priced Rs. 43,500 and upwards, features the optional SmartJackets which give more connectivity options, an additional battery and add-ons that enable customisation of the device.
Mr. Raghavan, who formally launched the product here on Thursday, said enterprises were increasingly moving towards "bring your own" device trend and the new device was designed to meet the associated data security aspects. It has several features such as e-printing and a spare battery that provides a 11-hour back up in addition to the eight-hour battery life.
The tablet could also double as a PC for users,, who could utilise the docking system and a key board that, in turn, would do away with the use of traditional desktop.
Designed to run on the Windows 8 platform, the new device had received good response from enterprises, he said. He, however, refused to divulge details on the company's plans on the volumes it was expecting.

A message from CAPIC's Executive Director
November 20, 2014My Friends,
I am both outraged and devastated by the news given to me today at 4:48 pm by DHCD that the Governor has exercised his 9c powers to eliminate CAPIC's Special Earmark. The Earmark supports in full CAPIC's Emergency Services Program. It funds three positions and provides emergency food, rental help, emergency shelter for dozens of area residents. What makes this action even more deplorable is that was made retroactive to July 1, 2014, nullifying funds that have already been spent on salary and services. We also have service commitments made that must now be withdrawn. This action eliminates our ability to respond to any housing related situations that occur on a daily basis. We have already spent $90,000.00, which now represents a deficit. Current obligations represent another several thousand dollars, which will be cancelled. It has been suggested that the new Administration may be more sensitive toward this dilemma and I believe that will likely be the case, however to maintain the staff and services while knowingly managing a deficit will require authorization from CAPIC's Board and will also be a troubling problem if the new Administration is unable to restore funding.
I can't help but wonder why this state government with multi-layers of bureaucrats cannot be more creative in developing solutions! I see the Governor has spent a king's ransom on office remodeling, but strikes at the poor! Once again, take it out on those who can't fight back…
We appreciate your support, caring and continued leadership.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Teen adds name to trustee ballot
An 18-year-old is throwing his name into the mix in the school-board election in Transcona, but he doesn't want to be labelled as a youth candidate.
"Age really isn't an issue here, I believe that I'm mature enough to do this position," said Dakota Kochie, who graduated as valedictorian from Murdoch MacKay Collegiate in 2014.
"I have lots of experience doing policy planning, dealing with government at provincial and federal levels and just connecting with people on a face-to-face basis."
Kochie is seeking a school trustee spot in the River East Transcona School Division in Ward One while starting his first year at the University of Winnipeg in September, studying criminology and political science.
He is a key member of the Young Liberals of Canada's Manitoba chapter, said Manitoba Liberal Party leader, Rana Bokhari, who was surprised to hear Kochie was only 18 when reached by phone on Saturday -- she assumed he was 25 or 26.
"His level of maturity is way beyond 18," said Bokhari.
"He's pretty impressive. The guy's a leader, he's a go-getter and he's taking control."
Kochie said he will be the co-president of the Young Liberals group at the U of W come fall and will play football for the East Side Eagles of the Manitoba Major Football League this season. He attended a spring training camp with the University of Manitoba Bisons but suffered a concussion on the second day, cutting his season short. He hopes to make it back to play for the Bisons one day, but for now has shifted his focus to politics.
"I went for a school trustee spot because not only am I a pretty big person in my community, I just feel like it's a bridge into bigger and better things. I want to make a difference in the school system in River East and Transcona," Kochie said.
Kochie said he has spoken with many teachers at Murdoch MacKay about their thoughts on the division's needs; he's often at the school helping coach the football team. He would like to increase funding for developing student initiatives such as SCAAT (Students Creating Autism Awareness Together), a club he co-founded at Murdoch MacKay. SCAAT won a Yes I Can Award! from the Manitoba Council for Exceptional Children in 2014.
"Student programs like that might need a little bit more funding, even if it's just 50 bucks, that can help them to buy posters or supplies," Kochie said.
Kochie is the third youth candidate to declare his intentions to run for a school board position in the October 22 election. Tanjit Nagra, 18, and Candace Maxymovich, 20, are running for trustee positions in the Louis Riel School Division in Wards One and Four, respectively.
Having seen Maxymovich being attacked on Twitter because of her support for abstinence-only sex education, Kochie admitted he hesitated to use the social media site for campaigning. He recently deleted his personal Twitter page.
"Honestly, I commend her on what she did (speaking out), but my views obviously differ. My political relations are very liberal," Kochie said. "We should come to the realization that teens do have sex and we should be preparing them for those situations instead of backing away from them, which could lead to potentially unwelcome situations... I want to have a more modern approach to things."

Third, the GCC instructions in the BLFS book install only C and C++ compilers, because that is what is needed for a basic system. The BLFS instructions show how to install more compilers, like Java, Ada, Fortran, Objective C... So you use those instructions (or better, you adapt them) if you need those specific compilers.

Arsenal offered Balotelli as Inter Milan eye 36m move for Fabregas
No 1 target: Cesc Fabregas Inter Milan have entered the race to sign Cesc Fabregas and hope to tempt Arsenal by offering Italy Under 21 star Mario Balotelli in a player-plus-cash deal worth £36million. However, the Italians look set to be disappointed, with both the Gunners and their skipper reluctant to court a deal. Reports on Italy's Sky Sports network suggested a deal may already have agreed in principle, but Fabregas's representatives told Spanish paper El Mundo Deportivo that there had been no contact, let alone and agreement between the two parties. The 22-year-old is also wanted by Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus, but Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists he has no intention of selling his lynchpin. Mourinho is keen to add another creative midfielder to his squad and has also encouraged a bid for Liverpool's Steven Gerrard. Arsenal may seek a separate deal for Balotelli, who appears to be on his way out of San Siro after clashes with boss Jose Mourinho led to him being completely left out of the squad to face Chelsea in the Champions League earlier this month. Hot shot: Fabregas has been in fine form for Arsenal Balotelli has since been filmed wearing an AC Milan shirt - the team heopenly supports - and said of the victory over Chelsea: 'It was theteam that won at Stamford Bridge, not Mourinho.' The 19-year-old will be left out for the fourth straight game when Inter play Livorno on Wednesday night. Inter president Massimo Moratti is a huge fan of Balotelli and hopes the striker can patch up his differences with Mourinho, but the striker is the one who will be sacrificed if the relationship cannot be salvaged. Manchester City have also been linked with Balotelli, while Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is a confirmed admirer. Meanwhile, a survey carried out by Spanish sports paper Marca revealed that Real Madrid fans want Fabregas and Valencia winger David Silva to be their club's top two transfer targets this summer. More than 55 per cent of respondents wanted Fabregas - despite his links to Barcelona - putting him ahead of Wayne Rooney (37.5 per cent), Ashley Cole (24.3 per cent) and Franck Ribery (40.2 per cent) in the beauty contest.

The FreeWave Fusion Wireless Flash Trigger & Remote Control for Sony/Minolta SLR from Vello is a versatile, reliable remote control kit that will trigger off-camera flash units and studio lights from up to 320 feet away. It is compatible with Sony DSLR cameras, flash units and studio lights. It can be used to configure up to three different light groups, which can be triggered individually or simultaneously, for a total of seven different combinations, using its multiple groups feature. Simultaneous triggering of multiple light groups requires additional FreeWave Fusion Receivers (available separately).
The FreeWave Fusion also provides the convenience of a wireless camera shutter release, ideal for photographing wildlife, and also for macro and close-up photos or long exposures, where the slightest camera movement can ruin a picture. Working on the 2.4GHz frequency gives you reduced radio interference and an extended range (up to 320' (100 m)) - you don't need to have line-of-sight alignment, either, as radio waves will pass through walls, windows and floors.
Since the FreeWave Fusion does not transmit TTL settings, use of a flash or light unit with full manual control is recommended. You will need to set the power output manually.
Note: This remote does not provide high-voltage sync protection, and is not recommended for use with flash units that have a trigger voltage of more than 6V.

The Bradley Center
Attendance: None
Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Charlie Villanueva posted 27 points, seven rebounds and six assists, as the Milwaukee Bucks held on to defeat the Atlanta Hawks, 110-107.
Richard Jefferson and Ramon Sessions each scored 20 points with the latter handing out seven assists for the Bucks, who have won back-to-back games for the first time since a three-game win streak in late December.
Luke Ridnour chipped in 12 points with nine helpers, while Charlie Bell came off the bench to record 16 points in the win.
Mike Bibby led the Hawks with 24 points, while Joe Johnson added 22 points and nine assists for Atlanta, which has fallen in four of five games. Josh Smith finished with 18 points and a game-high 11 rebounds in defeat.
It was an 87-74 lead in favor of Milwaukee going to the fourth. The Bucks suddenly went cold from the field and Flip Murray's three-pointer cut the Hawks deficit to five, 97-92, with just over four minutes left.
Session's layup with 1:10 to go was the only Bucks field goal in the final 5 1/2 minutes. But an 11-for-12 effort from the foul line during that stretch kept the Bucks in front.
A Smith layup with 7.5 ticks left brought Atlanta within two, 106-104. Ridnour hit two from the line and Jefferson sunk two more after Johnson's missed three-pointer to finish off Milwaukee's win.
Bell's three-ball at the first-quarter buzzer put the Bucks ahead 29-22, and an 11-0 start to the second frame was the catalyst behind a 53-48 halftime lead for the hosts.
Milwaukee made eight of its first nine shots from the field in the third quarter to help take a 70-62 lead midway through the frame. Ridnour was the ring-leader with six points and three assists during the solid shooting performance.

SEATTLE — When Gov. Booth Gardner first ran for the state's highest office in 1984, many in Washington did not even know his name. That soon changed and he went on to become a two-term governor and one of the most popular politicians in state history.
From his time in Olympia to his recent campaign championing the "Death with Dignity" initiative, Gov. Gardner's legacy is still widely felt today.
Washington state's 19th governor, he died Friday night at his Tacoma home from complications of Parkinson's disease. He was 76.
"We're very sad to lose my father, who had been struggling with a difficult disease for many years, but we are relieved to know that he's at rest now and his fight is done," the former governor's daughter, Gail Gant, said in a news release.
"I learned so much from Booth because he was a man that led by example," Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said after learning of Gardner's death. "He demonstrated that governing is about the people you serve — and serve with — by learning everyone's name, what issues they cared deeply about, and by taking the time to work with anyone that shared his desire to make Washington state a better place to live."
Under Gardner's tenure from 1985 to 1993, with an economy that was largely booming, the state took notable steps on education and the environment and on expanding social and health services.
The state began to institute requirements for students to pass standardized tests before graduating from high school, raised state university faculties' salaries, enacted the Growth Management Act, initiated the Basic Health Plan and began First Steps, which helps low-income pregnant women obtain health and social services.
Gardner also had an astute eye for talent, assembling a Cabinet whose members — including former Gov. Chris Gregoire — have gone on to further prominence.
"He brought people together and he had a vision," said John C. Hughes, author of the book "Booth Who?," a biography of the former governor that is part of the Office of the Secretary of State's project documenting Washington's history makers.
Gregoire said Gardner "leaves a lasting legacy of nurturing a generation of leaders, including me."
For Gardner, "the importance of education was paramount — investing in programs that helped young people escape poverty and drugs," Hughes said. And he had "just his sunny optimism and idealism. He had this bully pulpit that investing in people was crucial and would pay real dividends."
In recent years, Gardner, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1994, was perhaps best known for championing an initiative allowing physicians to prescribe lethal doses of medication for terminally ill patients seeking to hasten their own deaths. Voters passed that measure by a wide margin in 2008.
Throughout his life, Gardner had a likability that served him well, from his days as a business leader to those serving as the first Pierce County executive, from the statehouse in Olympia to the U.S. deputy trade representative in Geneva.
Born in Tacoma, William Booth Gardner was 4 when his parents divorced. He spent his childhood shuttling back and forth between his parents, Evelyn Booth Gardner Clapp, a socialite, and Bryson "Brick" Gardner, a sales manager for a car dealership whom news stories described as a free spirit with an alcohol problem.
His father remarried, as did his mother. She married Norton Clapp, whose family members were substantial investors in Weyerhaeuser, and who eventually became president of Weyerhaeuser. He also became Gardner's stepfather.
When Gardner was 14, his mother and sister died in a plane crash in California.
After his father moved to Hawaii, Gardner attended a boarding school in Vermont, then finished high school at Lakeside Academy. While attending the University of Washington, he didn't fit in at the fraternity he joined and moved into his aunt's house.
His aunt pushed him to find a part-time job with the city's parks department and it was there that Gardner had an epiphany, coaching and tutoring kids at parks and recreation centers in the Central Area.
"I realized I could make a difference in people's lives," he is quoted as saying in "Booth Who?" At the UW, he met his first wife, Jean Forstrom, who encouraged him to run for student vice president. They married four years later and had two children: Douglas and Gail.
Gardner earned an MBA from Harvard, and at 25, inherited his mother's fortune. Though he still penny-pinched in his day-to-day life, he contributed money to everything from establishing the Central Area Youth Association to creating Seattle Treatment Center, an alcohol-detoxification program. And he invested money in businesses including the Alpental ski resort, an oil-recycling business and apple orchards. He became associate director of the University of Puget Sound School of Business Administration and Economics.
And he began to think about entering politics.
His entree into politics began in 1970 when he won a Pierce County seat in the state Senate against Republican incumbent Larry Faulk. He wasn't a standout legislator, according to news accounts at the time.
When his stepfather asked him to take over running the family's corporate empire, he agreed, managing for seven years Laird Norton Co., which included building-supply, real estate and property-management operations. He also succeeded Clapp in serving on the boards of major corporations including Weyerhaeuser.
The pull of politics drew him back in and he won the 1981 election for Pierce County executive.
In 1984, he decided to run for governor, despite a lack of statewide name recognition that prompted his campaign staff to come up with the slogan: "Booth Who?" It wasn't a question statewide voters asked for long, as he defeated incumbent Gov. John Spellman.
As governor, he made some notable appointments to state agencies.
Besides Gregoire, whom he appointed as head of the Department of Ecology, he named Denny Heck his chief of staff and later founded TVW, a public-affairs television network; and Charles Z. Smith, appointed to the Washington State Supreme Court — the first African American to hold such a position.
Gardner handled some political hot potatoes, including the issue of environmental protection versus property rights, and he helped broker an end to a teachers strike that affected thousands across the state.
It was a lack of willingness to dive into the rough and tumble of politics that some say led to his not being able to accomplish all he could.
He was unable to get many of the tax increases he sought, which eventually laid the groundwork for the fiscal crisis his successor inherited. While he established a high-level commission to lay the foundation for education reform, lawmakers rejected his proposed tax increases to finance a public-school-improvement plan.
In retrospect, others have given his time in office a B grade — an assessment he agrees with, according to the book "Booth Who?"
"This will sound strange," Gardner said in the book. "But I didn't think it was worth the price to go for an A."
After Gardner ruled out a run for a third term, President Bill Clinton appointed him a deputy U.S. trade representative. He served as the U.S. ambassador to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade — the precursor to the World Trade Organization (WTO) — in Geneva.
Gardner was candid about how his own 1994 diagnosis of Parkinson's disease affected the decision to get back into the political fray.
"Since I've had Parkinson's, obviously I've thought about the end," he said in a 2006 Seattle Times story. "When the day comes when I can no longer keep busy and I'm a burden to my wife and kids, I want to be able to control my exit."
Ironically, the Death with Dignity Act, which voters approved with nearly 58 percent of the vote, would not be applicable to the former governor because his disease is not considered terminal.
Gardner's efforts on the issue were documented in an Oscar-nominated short documentary, "The Last Campaign of Governor Booth Gardner."
Besides daughter Gail, (and her husband Stephen Gant) of Tacoma, he is survived by son Douglas Gardner (wife Jill Gardner) of University Place, and eight grandchildren.
Arrangements for a public memorial service will be announced shortly.
Gov. Gardner's family requests that memorial donations be made to the Northwest Parkinson's Foundation, 400 Mercer St. No. 504, Seattle, WA, 98109.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Case McCoy hit D.J. Grant with a 1-yard touchdown pass with 12 seconds to play, capping a 70-yard drive in the final 2 minutes and lifting Texas (No. 23 BCS) past Kansas 21-17 on Saturday.
More From HornsNation
The Longhorns avoided what would have been a stunning upset to Kansas. However, the win did little to answer questions or calm concerns, writes Carter Strickland. Story
With 2:28 left and the Jayhawks (1-7, 0-5 Big 12) straining to end a 16-game Big 12 losing streak, Nick Prolago kicked a 29-yard field goal for a 17-14 lead over a Longhorns squad that came in as three-touchdown favorites.
But McCoy, who replaced an ineffective David Ash in the fourth quarter, quickly had the Longhorns (6-2, 3-2) soaring down the field.
He hit Jaxon Shipley for 18 yards on fourth down, then connected with Mike Davis streaking down the sideline for 39 yards to the Kansas 3.
On third-and-goal from the 1 and with Kansas crowding the line of scrimmage, Grant sneaked into the end zone and cradled McCoy's softly tossed pass for the winning TD.
James Sims rushed for 178 yards and became the first Kansas player with four straight 100-yard games since Tony Sands in 1991. The Jayhawks, who fell to 0-10 against Texas since the Big 12 was formed, rushed for 234 yards altogether against a Texas defense that was ranked 107th in the country against the run. Freshman quarterback Michael Cummings did not attempt a pass in the second and third quarters and was only 3 of 9 for 39 yards.
McCoy Really Good Late
Case McCoy capitalized on a big opportunity for Texas on Saturday, replacing the ineffective David Ash in the fourth quarter and leading the Longhorns past Kansas. Here's how the QBs fared against the Jayhawks:
C. McCoy | D. Ash | |
Drives | 1 | 10 |
Pass yds | 68 | 63 |
Comp-Att | 5-7 | 8-16 |
TD-Int | 1-0* | 0-2 |
Yds per att | 9.7 | 3.9 |
* TD on game-winning drive -- ESPN Stats & Information |
Tony Pierson scored on an 11-yard run for Kansas, and Christian Matthews added a 15-yarder in the second quarter.
The Longhorns tied it at 14 on an 11-yard run by Marquise Goodwin following his 41-yard run on an end-around in the fourth quarter.
Sims, who came into the game second in the Big 12 with an average of 111.5 yards rushing per game, had 139 yards in the first two quarters. In the second quarter, facing a first down on their own 2, the Jayhawks stunned the visitors by breaking Sims through the middle for a 64-yard gallop, Kansas' longest run in six years. Adding 15 yards for a personal-foul penalty against the Longhorns gave Kansas a first down on the Texas 15. On third down, Matthews went through a big hole on the left side to make it 7-7.
In Kansas' second TD drive of the second quarter, Sims ripped off a 20-yard gain through the middle and Pierson went wide left for 18. On first down from the Texas 11, Pierson went right, then cut back through a big hole and practically walked into the end zone to put the Jayhawks on top 14-7.
Texas took a 7-0 lead in just four plays on its first possession when Joe Bergeron dragged would-be tacklers 3 yards into the end zone.

Johnathan Gray, who totaled 111 yards rushing, ran for 31 to the Kansas 12 on Texas' first play from scrimmage. But the Longhorns' next four possessions ended in punts, and their fifth came to a halt when Greg Brown intercepted Ash's underthrown pass at the Kansas 11.
The Longhorns punted again on their first possession of the second half, but Bradley McDougald muffed the punt and Josh Turner recovered for Texas on the Kansas 19. But on fourth-and-goal from the 2, Bergeron was stopped by Ben Heeney and Huldon Tharp.
After forcing another punt, the Longhorns again started in Kansas territory. But on third-and-7 from the 17, Lubbock Smith intercepted a poorly thrown pass that was deflected right into his arms.
Top 25 Overview
It was over when... Down by 3 with under a minute to go and, Texas took its time in the red zone and calmly scored a TD with 12 seconds left.
Gameball goes to... After a rough day sent David Ash to the bench, Case McCoy took the Horns 70 yards down the field for the winning TD.
Stat of the game... 18. Kansas has lost 18 straight games against BCS opponents, the longest streak among schools from BCS conferences.

Sea Wolves winning streak ends as the Stingrays of South Carolina score three unanswered goals in the 3rd period. Radek Smolenak notches a marker while firing a team-high 7 shots, Brandon Elliott went toe-to-toe with Grant McNeill, and Ryan Munce stopped 50 shots while getting tough defending his crease in a penalty-filled third penalty.
Lightning sleepwalk for 60 minutes. What a terrible night.
Johan Holmqvist allowed 3 goals on 10 shots for the loss before being relieved by Marc Denis who allowed 2 goals on 7 shots. Load both of them in a cannon and shoot them to the moon as far as I'm concerned. The Lightning only managed 22 shots on goal in the game. Load the skaters up in the same cannon with the goalies.
Put that effort on the ice again tomorrow night against Detroit and they'll pin 5 on you in the first period alone.

Federal Fire/medic
How hard is it to get on as a Federal Fire/Medic. I have been a medic for 2 1/2 years now, and also am a certified volunteer. What are my odds of getting on?
