Born in Chicago, he splashed onto the scene, suddenly, like a successfully launched Apollo space capsule, his rat-a-tat reflexes and verbal gymnastics taking more than one mid-'70s TV viewer aback. No one had ever seen someone like Robin Williams before, a Julliard-trained shaggy haired hippie holdover in a cherry red alien outfit who acted like he was indeed from another planet.
He was part Chaplin, part Pryor, an ad-libbing maniac who tossed every imaginable idea, accent, social taboo, and current event talking point into a blender, mixing them up in his mind to then blather on non-stop, weaving his own Rumpelstiltskin like web of mischievous comedic gold. After being introduced on the popular sitcom Happy Days, Williams received his own spin-off shot at stardom, the surreal laugher about an extraterrestrial and his platonic bond with an Earth girl entitled Mork and Mindy. A huge hit, it wasn't long afterwards that film came calling for the then 29-year-old "overnight sensation."

The men, all volunteers, who rushed into a burning fertilizer plant in Texas before it exploded last week displayed a courage beyond words, President Barack Obama said at a memorial event in their honor Thursday.
"When you got to the scene, you forgot fear and fought the blaze as hard as you could, knowing the danger. Buying time so others could escape," Obama said at the event, held on the campus of Baylor University in Waco. "Then about 20 minutes after the first alarm the earth shook and the sky went dark and West changed forever. Today our prayers are with the families of all we've lost."
Fourteen people perished in last week's explosion, 12 of which were first responders. Like most small towns in Texas, the West brigade was formed entirely of volunteers.
"America needs towns like West. That's what makes this country great: towns like West," Obama said, noting that while the nation's attention was distracted from the disaster there by developments in the Boston Marathon bombings, the town would not go forgotten.
"Know this: while the eyes of the world may have been fixed on places far away, our hearts have also been here," he said, adding later that the nation would provide support for the small community in the weeks and months to come.
"We'll be there even after the cameras leave and after the attention turns elsewhere," he said. "Your country will remain ever ready to help you recover and rebuild and reclaim your community."
Obama used several passages of scripture in his fifteen minute speech to underscore the heartbreak facing West's citizens.
"You have been tested, West," he said. "You have been tried. You have gone through fire. But you are, and always will be, surrounded by an abundance of love."
Before arriving at the event, Obama surveyed the damage caused by the blast from his helicopter, which circled the enormous crater where the fertilizer plant once stood.
After his speech, Obama was slated to meet privately with family members of the firefighters who were killed.
Earlier in the day, Obama attended the dedication ceremony for the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas. First lady Michelle Obama accompanied him at both events.

Forum topic: Stupid game search refuses to search for "0 A.D."
Agreed, the search is not one of the greatest assets of lgdb.org. It doesn't index words shorter than 4 characters and has some other flaws (doesn't find parts of words, no typo correction...) but it only really fails for 0 a.d. ;)
Forum topic: Stendhal 1.10: More than cosmetic change
Stendhal 1.11: Lets party
Stendhal 1.11 was released with a big party. Celebrate in the game with costumes, food, quests, and puzzles at this year's Mine Town Revival Weeks. A paperchase quest will lead players all over the world to discover interesting places, but be careful, since kobolds and slime lurk in the mines. Other changes include icons next to NPCs, who trade items or heal, to make them easier to discover.

Thanks for feedback, I think this needs to be fixed. The funny thing is that when you enter 0 A.D. without pressing enter it does show you game entry in suggestion list.

If you've worked in a project like these, I think you'll have that sense of appreciation. Especially in the arena of "extremely programmable hardware".
Since AMD bought ATI, things have changed. They are trying to give a seamless rebirth to a new driver generation without breaking the support. Things would be simpler if they said: "Wait 1 year without any driver and you'll see the miracle" but at least they've "tried" to support new cards and things.
I'm a computer engineer. I'm a fetishist about processors and hardware. I know what takes to program these (taking notes to papers, converting registry values, sometimes debugging assembly crypts). And I use these guys cards since nVidia was not able to make gauraud shading and smoothing in hardware.
ATI is a huge company which has some fair share in customized simulator graphics, mutli-head 2D graphics (Their creepy 9000 chip can do 16 heads if required!) and such. So it was their fault not to support linux but with AMD it has changed.
Yes I have some weird and annoying bugs too. I was using my card with vesa for 8 months but with 8.41 things started to change. I'm not hopeless about ATI. They have opened their spex too. It's equally important as 8.41 drivers.
OTOH, It's important to say that ATI's creepy driver is far better in hotplugging hardware and screen detection than nVidia.
So opera, give the guys some respect and credit. Your lovely nVidia guys have an annoying locking-up bug in their latest drivers and they didn't fixed it for 80 days. c'mon!
Instead pf provocating the board, please shut up. Already nobody listening to you but, I was unable to resist to write this post!.

When I was a child back in the 1960's, I distinctly remember the unmistakable smell of burning leaves during the fall months. My father would rake leaves into a heaping pile at the end of our driveway. He then lit a match to the pile of leaves, and to the cherry tobacco in his wooden pipe. He would attentively stand next to the burning leaves, smoking his pipe until the last leaf was gone. I was usually sitting on the grass nearby, watching the leaves go up in smoke and talking to my father.
This memory is sheer nostalgia for me. As I recollect this sweet memory, I am moved emotionally. A smile naturally emerges.
I recently read an article in the New York Times, "What Is Nostalgia Good For? Quite a Bit, Research Shows," that shed some light on these emotions. The article discussed how nostalgia has been found to have real and measurable benefits. Several studies have discovered that people who reminisced about past events gained a sense of belongingness and continuity. Participants in the study reported feeling less lonely or anxious, and gained a more positive mood after reminiscing.
As a personal historian, I've seen this happen countless times. One in particular stands out. Some time ago I interviewed a 98-year-old woman from Oakland, California. When I first approached "Fritzi", I explained that I would love to ask her about her memories of her childhood days.
She pushed back. "Oh, I don't have any memories of those days," she complained, and stared blankly at me.
I again gently asked her if we could turn on the recorder and see if any memories would surface. She finally agreed. Near the end of the 15-minute interview, Fritzi had told me about going to the community swimming pool near her home in Portland, Oregon. She was ten years old at the time. She told me that girls were only allowed to swim on Mondays and Wednesdays. Boys were allowed to swim on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fritzi continued to tell me that she wore a dark blue striped heavy knit bathing suit and that her mother tied her long hair back on the days she went to the pool.
I was shocked at the details that came forth during those 15 minutes.
And to cap it all off, Fritzi pulled out the large family photo album, which she said she had not looked at in many years. She said she wanted to show me pictures of her family. Within a few moments she opened to a page showing a photograph of a very young Fritzi wearing that dark blue striped bathing suit and her hair all pulled back.
After a little while had passed, I asked Fritzi what she thought about being interviewed. She said, "That was fun! I didn't think I would remember anything but I did."
She paused for a long moment and with a big smile on her face, she said, "And I loved to swim!"
What are you reminiscing about? What emotions has it brought out in you? Share your experiences with us and we may write about it in a future Reel Tributes Blog post.

Nintendo New 3DS XL
The 3DS XL's improved 3D head-tracking is a big step up and its performance boost more makes a noticeable difference. A few head-scratching design choices prevent us from falling for the New 3DS XL, but this is still the best Nintendo portable to get.
Pricing not available
Nintendo New 3DS
Nintendo's New 3DS isn't much improved overall, but that new display alone almost makes the purchase worthwhile -- or will do, once it's available outside of Japan.
Pricing not available
Sony PlayStation TV
The PlayStation TV sounds great on paper, but out of the gate, it underwhelms as both a gaming and an entertainment box.
Pricing not available
Microsoft Xbox One ( without Kinect)
The cheaper, no-Kinect version of the Xbox One gives buyers a better deal by eliminating the one part of the console they probably didn't want to begin with -- but the PS4 remains a compelling alternative.
Pricing not available
Microsoft Xbox One
Its high price and imperfect voice control and TV integration keep the Xbox One short of must-have territory, but the inclusion of Titanfall for free (for new purchases) helps Microsoft's console hold the line against Sony's compelling PS4.
Pricing not available
Sony PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4's beautiful graphics, smart interface, blazing performance, near-perfect controller and better indie offerings give it a slight edge over the Xbox One as both consoles enter their second year.
Pricing not available
Nvidia Shield Portable
The Nvidia Shield brings console-level quality to portable Android gaming, but it needs a higher quality list of compatible games before it can truly rival the Vita or 3DS.
Pricing not available
The OnLive service streams games to your computer, TV or tablet. It's a really cool concept that we'd recommend checking out, although the games selection isn't amazing, and occasional lag may spoil your fun.
Pricing not available
Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS' 3D capability is its headline feature, but really it's just the icing on the cake. This feature-packed little console offers tonnes of fun, even if its battery life is slightly pants.
Pricing not available
Microsoft Xbox 360 Slim
Microsoft's Xbox 360 Slim offers improvements over its predecessors in every area, with reduced fan noise, a 250GB hard drive and great looks. It's really good value and, with the brilliant selection of HD games available for the platform, we think it's the best console on the market today
Typical price: £200.00

I am looking at ways to carry a bike or two somewhere on my vehicle or ct apart from in the boot of my Forrester. After a little reading on the net, I found a bike carrier that is tow bar mounted and theoretically you can use the trailer/ct at the same time. However, a salesman and his manager pointed out that you wouldn't be able to use the carrier and a trailer because of lack of clearance once you put a bike on the carrier. I asked about getting a higher carrier and they told me it would end up being illegal.
So is this the case?
Other options include vertically mounting the spare tyre on my ct draw bar and putting a carrier of sme sort next to it, attaching a tow bar mount on the back of my ct and using a carrier there, or just tying the bike onto the currently horizontally mounted tyre on my ct draw bar (this option wont' be good when the bike gets bigger).
Using a roof mounted rack is out of the question as it would be too high up for me to comfortably reach especially when the bike gets bigger.
Ideas and thoughts greatly appreciated.

Wildcats add 11 more to the fold
Thursday, February 7, 2013
DURHAM – To address an immediate need, the University of New Hampshire football team shopped locally.
While Holt helped Portsmouth High School capture the 2012 Division III title, Kennedy had 57 pancake blocks as a senior for Souhegan.
The 6-2, 230-pound Franklyn attended prep school at Proctor Academy in Andover. UNH graduated linebackers Matt Evans and Alan Buzbee and defensive end Randi Vines.
"He didn't look out of place on tape," McDonnell said. "He's got good ball skills. The other thing is he tackles pretty well. It wasn't like he was just a pure athlete out there playing. The kid's got football instincts."
"The thing I like about both those guys in their offenses in high school is that they caught the ball and done things in systems similar to ours," McDonnell said.

Texas School Funding
- Written by Tim Fleischer
Texas News Service
A Crowded Courtroom for Day One of TX School Funding Lawsuit
Chris Thomas
Texas News Service
AUSTIN, Texas - More than a dozen attorneys representing about 600 Texas school districts laid out their case on Monday that the state education funding system is inefficient, outmoded and favors wealthy districts over poor ones. They contend that over time, the system has eroded many students' chances of getting a good education. Five other cases have alleged as much since the 1980s.
Marisa Bono is a staff attorney with the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund (MALDEF), which represents some of the state's poorest districts. This time, she says, tougher achievement tests and graduation requirements are shedding new light on long-time problems.
"The difference with this case is that we're really at an unprecedented point in terms of rigor and standards that are set by the state for our school districts. We're really talking about some high-stakes testing that's going to be very expensive for school districts."
One school superintendent in the courtroom was Dr. Nabor Cortez, of the small La Feria School District near Harlingen. In response to budget cuts, he says, they've laid off teachers and aides although their student population continues to grow. The state allocates some dollars based on numbers of lower-income, special-education and English-language learners. Cortez says those formulas are outdated.
"The Weighted Average Daily Attendance, which is based on formulas, they have not been updated in ages - for 20 to 30 years. We know that there's something called 'inflation,' and it doesn't forgive anybody."
Plaintiffs' attorneys said wealthy districts collect about $2,000 more per student per year than poor districts. Cortez says that, combined with the state's education budget cuts, means many districts are struggling.
A common theme in opening arguments was that the court fights would not be necessary if the Legislature had fixed the school funding problems. Bono says the districts are asking the court to declare the system unconstitutional, so state lawmakers will have to act.
"That's really what we're seeking in this case. We're not looking for any special benefits or anything else. We just want to give them the opportunity to succeed and make their dreams a reality."
Bono says the districts and students welcome the new challenges, but the funding inequities set them up to fail. The Texas Attorney General's office counters that money is not directly linked to students' success, and that the school funding system may be flawed but is not unconstitutional.

Leadership, Culture, and Transition at lululemon, Multimedia Case
Michael L. Tushman, Ruth Page, Tom Ryder
Publication Date:Dec 21, 2010
Discipline:Organizational Behavior
Source:Multimedia Cases
Product number:
English Web Based HTML
Also Available in:
|English Web Based HTML
$ 25.00
The case examines leadership and organizational change within a strong culture context through a multimedia study of lululemon, a specialty retailer of high-end athletic apparel. Video segments trace the company's history from its founding in 1998 as a single retail store in Vancouver, Canada, through its IPO and expansion across Canada and the United States. The case is set at a crossroads for the company, as incoming CEO Christine Day prepares to take the helm in mid 2008. At that time, lululemon was publicly traded $350 million company with close to 100 stores, including 56 in the United States, and nearly 3,000 employees. The mission from the board was to continue the company's growth trajectory by opening more stores and, ultimately, increasing sales to $1 billion. Among the challenges that Day would inherit were outperforming stores. According to Day, mismanagement of the real estate strategy had resulted in high-cost locations in many new U.S. markets with little to no demand. Lululemon was struggling to implement new inventory systems to keep pace with the demands of its expanding marketplace. Day also observed that cross-functional barriers had eroded the sense of teamwork within what was originally a strong values-led organization, resulting in an inability to achieve compromise. "The whole organization slowed down." said Day, "because people weren't aligned. "Leadership, Culture, and Transition at lululemon" highlights the fundamental tensions that entrepreneurial companies and their leaders face when going to scale: balancing rapid growth and the need to leverage their organization architecture (and associated cultures) as the firm evolves.
learning objective:
The case illustrates the choices boards and leaders face when an entrepreneurial firm attempts to go to scale. It also illustrates the board, senior team, and organization design and cultural issues associated with rapid growth. the case nicely illustrates choices associated with organization architecture, culture, and building senior teams at transition points.

The venerable 2D fighter is back with impressive new visuals and goofy cast of characters. Seriously. There's a guy who fights while strapped to a bed.
Dan gets booze and learns about California's water crisis while Jeff receives some long-overdue recognition.
This looks like a pile of horror cliches, but maybe that's the point?
If not even one of these so-called Beastmasters is voiced by Marc Singer, well, I'll just be very disappointed.
Holy hell, these things might actually come out!

I have been asked by another troop if they could merge with mine. It would double my troop size. The other troop has more older scouts than mine. I don't know much about the other troop, other than they are having a problem with their CO. If we come to an agreement I don't want problems to creep up latter. Have any of you been in this situation?

How to merge two troopsPage Title Module
Move Remove Collapse

new posts
Coffee. Talk. Management styles. Boy led, parent involvement. Camp every month? Once a year? Patrol autonomy? Troop camping? Who is the new CCh? The new (old) SM? Flip a coin? How 'bout the equipment? Scout accounts (HORRORS)? Sell popcorn or holiday trees? . Summer camp? Philmont ? Lots to discuss. Assume NOTHING..... have a BIG parent meeting, in a circle, preferably, rather than "church style" (face the pulpit) so all can see and meet all. Do the boys know each other? Different schools?
So much is often un-said, but thought to be "understood" . Make sure it really IS UNDERSTOOD..
Just this past March, two long-standing Troops in my community merged. Both were losing membership numbers but were recruiting from the same Pack. So the two Troops amicably merged and took on the unit number of the Pack to make it easier for the incoming Cubs. I know both former Scoutmasters well and I have been discussing the merger over the past few months. There was a lot of cooperation between the two committees and the Unit Commissioner. It's only been two months so we can't tell how things are going to work out.
However, I did hear just this weekend that several of the Scouts are disheartened by the news of the Seattle Scoutmaster, Geoff McGrath, and the Venturer, Garrett Bryant, being asked to step down due to sexual orientation. Some in the new Troop are advocating for a new organization altogether. It will definitely be interesting to see how their membership numbers progress at the close of the first year.
My Troop has been doing joint outings with the patrols from a neighboring Troop. I don't want to merge with them since my Troop has been in existence since 1925 and supports, and is supported by, our chartering org, a Methodist church.
You say, though, that your move "would double [your] troop size". I'm pretty sure that the merger would require your Troop and the other Troop to officially lose the former identity and become a completely new unit. I could be wrong. It might make more since for the other Troop to continue trying to recruit and do joint outings with your Troop. Just my opinion.
"...they are having a problem with their CO."
That's pretty vague. I would find out EXACTLY what's going on before making any changes. If it is the CO that's being the tension creator, then that's one thing, but if the troop is being the tension creator, one would want to get as far away from them as possible. The CO might be insisting on boy-led, patrol-method. The troop is doing some push-back. Okay is that because of the adults or the scouts? Again, more information helps with the problem solution. Okay, the CO is insisting on the troop doing, X, Y and Z and the troop doesn't want to do it. Okay, more insight to making a decision. What if YOUR CO insists on the troop doing X, Y, and Z, and your committee thinks it a good thing. Want to take on a 100% gain in membership who isn't buying into your program?
Get in touch with the DE, the UC, and set up dialogs with both CO's. This "merger" could be a really great thing for both units or it could be all the problems of the other troop have now infested your unit. Too many units walk blindly into situations and are side-blinded by it.
I'm not at all saying that a merger isn't possible even if there are problems. If the other CO wants boy-led, patrol-method, your CO wants boy-led, patrol-method, your boys are all sold on boy-led, patrol-method, but the boys of the other troop are all adult-led, Eagle Mill, then I would suggest a long serious visit with the adults and boys of the other troop before jumping into anything permanent. Oh? The old SM of the other troop is a 30 year scouter who's stuck in his ways, but the merger means your SM takes over and the other troop thinks this is the bump they need to help the other troop boys be more responsible and develop leadership? Now discussions can start.
As a UC, I just merged two troops this spring. Both dropped their CO's and found a third so both units are "getting a fresh start." It seems to be going well. I and the DE only had a minimal part of the process. One CO was an elementary school, so that future didn't really look all that bright, the other CO was a National Guard armory unit, again, tenuous in today's climate. The picked up the American Legion as the new CO. The folding unit didn't have a SM and so all-in-all, I think the situation will turn out okay all the way around.
You have all voiced some of my thoughts. The other troop would be merging into my troop. I would stay the SM and the CC would stay the same. My troop is self chartered so in effect I direct the troop. The families would have to agree to our bylaws and methods. The important question for me was how to merge in older scouts to our existing two patrols. My plan was to bring the other scouts in as a new patrol. Then when ready call for elections. Their scouts need POR's and so do my scouts. I don't want my existing scout to feel that they are being pushed out or marginalized by the older scouts. I'm meeting with the other SM this week to talk.
I have been asked by another troop if they could merge with mine. It would double my troop size. ...
Our troop absorbed a number of boys from adjacent neighborhoods ... mainly because they saw us as being more boy led. Most of us adults really enjoyed the new boys' company. Some of the adults were a little rough, but to complain would have been pots calling kettles black. Our established boys in the upper age range, however, were a little cliquish (stellar academic and athletic types). It took the younger siblings in both groups to really form a decent bond with one another.
During all of this, some of the local adults went and spun off a new troops (technically, merged with a failing troop and relocated it to a different CO), and one adult went from there to spin off a third troop. Lots of reasons for that, but my point is that everyone might like the way you operate "on paper," but a point may come a year or two down the road where there are just too many chefs in one kitchen!

As for the merge, we found that only 25% of merges and splits are successful. Success meaning that the units continue to perform at least as well as before the change.
TB, not really a red flag. I personally would rather have the backing of a CO, but if this works for SM bob let him have at it! I think the real challenge will be finding those couple of adults who can grasp the implications of whatever by-laws there are and build a productive committee around them.

They key, I think, is to be flexible and upbeat.
Haven't merged but have moved COs which is what it seems like the other unit is doing. If gear is going to transfer make sure your unit gets a "clean title." When our pack changed COs we were asked for a letter on the old COs letterhead listing everything that was moving to the new CO. I know it's been debated here but I don't believe the old CO is obligated to transfer equipment or money to the new unit. If there's no money or equipment changing hands you might consider just having the boys fill out transfer applications, pay the $1 and be done with it.
Originally posted by The Blancmange View Post... the "My" troop and "I direct the troop" aspects. ...
I direct my crew. I set the boundaries for how other adults interact with the youth, and I give the youth (pretty wide) boundaries within which they must operate if they are going to take advantage of my services. My committee is there to support them. I tell them how I would like them to do that.
Likewise, it's my SM's troop, and I'm there to assist him. I remind folks who may wish things were different that he's "the guy." Doing "the time." And getting "the work" done.
In the next sentence SM Bob refers to "our bylaws and methods". Which implies he's got people. Hopefully each is a good soul who thinks it's "his/her troop" too, but makes sure things are done in a way that suits Bob's style.
Sussing out phraseology that may not be "politically correct", just inserts more BS into the BS of A.
It seems like more than semantics to me, suggesting a focus on the adult leaders rather than the scouts. I don't see why that is a "BS" point to discuss.

What does it mean to be recognized three times? Ask Brian Nagamine, Employee of the Month for April.
Brian's first award was as a Therapeutic Recreation Assistant with Kuakini Geriatric Care, his first position when he joined the Kuakini Health Care Team in 1991. In 2000, he became a Volunteer Coordinator and received another nomination within a few years. For April 2014, as the Manager of Volunteer Services (since 2005), Brian is again being recognized for his hard work and dedication.
"I was surprised that I was recognized and that I was even nominated," he said. "I am humbled, and I feel like I'm just doing my job."
As manager, Brian oversees Kuakini's volunteer program. He is responsible for the recruitment, assessment, and training of volunteers. He makes sure that they are recognized for their efforts through special events, luncheons, birthday greetings, and daily acknowledgements.
"I enjoy working with the volunteers and seeing them gratified with what they do," he said. "I enjoy working with all sorts of people, which makes my job fun and rewarding."
Brian thrives in the challenges and complexity of his work. In 2013, the Volunteer Services staff took over the operation of the Convenience Store, which was previously managed by Kuakini Plaza Pharmacy. With no experience in the food and beverage business, he quickly learned through experience, by asking questions, and learning from others.
"The first challenge (then) was learning how to run it. The second is finding volunteers who can and are willing to staff the store," he said. "I am still learning… I always like to be challenged. The constant changes and new responsibilities keep me growing."
"Brian exemplifies what Kuakini is all about," said his nominator. "He's a hands-on manager who has the respect of the volunteers and (members of the) Auxiliary. Brian has done a great job assuming responsibility, management and operations of the Kuakini Snack Shop."
He continues to operate a department with two fulltime employees who manage 400 plus volunteers. Brian also volunteers at many Kuakini events on his personal time, noted his nominator.
For Brian, fulfillment in his job and the "feeling of ohana" make Kuakini a special place. "…and I think that's what made it easy to stay as long as I have," he said.
Brian likes to watch movies, eat dinner or do any outdoor activity, as long as it is with good company. He also likes trying out new things like canoeing or standup paddling. Recently, he picked up running again to keep himself healthy.

Compact and beautiful, Burlington is home to a university, three colleges, a thriving arts scene, creative entrepreneurship, great shopping and a full range of 4-season outdoor pursuits. It's no wonder this city consistently earns national awards.
Historic buildings, fountains, and a brick-paved pedestrian mall provide the backdrop for the Church Street Marketplace. Specialty shops and national retailers comingle with a wide range of restaurants and cultural venues, assuring that downtown is always lively. In warm months outdoor cafes, street vendors and entertainers keep things lively long after sundown.
In fact, the downtown is alive with outdoor markets, festivals and street entertainment throughout the year. The annual First Night Celebration kicks off the year. Then, in March it's time for the Magic Hat Mardi Gras Parade and celebration featuring 40 floats, as participants line the street to toss strands of beads, candy and moon pies. Summer festivals, lke the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival are destination events that attract visitors from throughout the Northeast.
The downtown district was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places. Buildings lining the main street and surrounding blocks date from about 1820 through to 1957 and tell the story of one of the oldest commercial and mercantile districts in Vermont. Look up as you walk through the streets and you'll find early styles and later Art Deco and Streamline Moderne details too.
A short walk from Church Street takes you to the nearby waterfront - lakeside parks, ferry crossings, excursion boats and a 12.5 walking/bike path that connects to the Lake Champlain Islands by a special bike ferry in summer. All manner of conveyance is available for rent – bicycles, rollerblades, kayaks, and sailboats – and the views along and accross the lake are spectacular.
The city harbors great museums and galleries too – the Waterfront offers the go-to place to learn about the history and ecology of Lake Champlain: the ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center at the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain. Just above the Waterfront, Pine Street and downtown are full of contemporary galleries. The University of Vermont's eclectic Fleming Museum is not to be missed.

The Twin Cooling System controls the refrigerator and freezer independently with two separate evaporators and precise electronic control.
An adequate amount of cool air is provided in each compartment independent of the other. Temperature sensors and microcomputers detect which compartment needs cooling and enables the refrigerator and freezer to use power only when their respective compartments need cool air.
Because cool air in the refrigerator does not travel to the freezer, the refrigerator compartment maintains a high level of humidity. The separate evaporators allow each compartment to maintain its ideal temperature.
Since cool air does not travel through the same duct to reach the two compartments, odors are isolated. To see how the Twin Cooling System protects your foods from odors, see the following diagrams:
With a conventional cooling system, odors are mixed.
With the Twin Cooling System, there is no mixing of odors.
