Applegate is an unincorporated community in Placer County, California.[1] Applegate is located 7.25 mi (11,670 m) south-southwest of Colfax, and 9.3 mi (15.0 km) northeast of Auburn.[2] The city's msl elevation is 2,005 ft (611 m).[1] Its ZIP code is 95703 and its area code 530.
Applegate was originally settled in 1849 by Lisbon Applegate, having come to California with his son, George, from Missouri. Part of a family who first emigrated to America in the 1600s, the Applegates bought acreage above Clipper Gap, CA and established a fruit ranch there. The main house of the Applegate Ranch was located where Oliver's gas station and bar sits today. Lisbon eventually returned to Missouri but his son, George W. Applegate, stayed.
As the town grew it was called Bear River House due to its proximity to the Bear River, a short distance northwest. When a post office was established 1855, the community officially became known as Lisbon in honor of its founder. George W. Applegate became postmaster and in the 1870s, the settlement was renamed to Applegate also to honor its founder.[3]
At one time, Applegate was a station on the Central Pacific Railroad (later Southern Pacific). When a second track was added in 1929, the station on the eastbound track was named East Applegate. The tracks are separated by about .25 mi (0.40 km).
From Placer GOLD, November 1973; "Applegate is a quiet little town about eight miles northeast of Auburn, rudely severed in two parts by Interstate 80. The town consists of a post office, motel, hardware store, grocery and saloon-and something else..."

'Haven' Hunk Eric Balfour on Season 2: There's Weird Stuff Happening in Maine
Season 2 of 'Haven' premieres this week, and the first episode raises more questions than it answers. The 'other' Audrey is still around, Nathan (Lucas Bryant) is grieving for his dead father, and Duke (Eric Balfour) has to deal with a mystery woman from his past who blows into town out of nowhere.
Intrigued? AOL TV caught up with Balfour to get more details about what we can expect from Season 2. We also got the scoop on some of his other highly anticipated projects, including the film adaptation of 'Jesus Hates Zombies' that he's directing, and his role as Bobby Beausoleil in the upcoming 'Manson Girls' movie.
Helen Hunt May Replace Maura Tierney on 'Parenthood' & More TV News
Reasons why I think ABC should renew Miss Guided
TV Squadder Paul Goebel reviewed the series premiere of the ABC comedy Miss Guided. He wasn't sure what to make of the show after the first airing and I must admit that I also had my doubts about this new comedy. Judy Greer is a joy to watch as guidance counselor Becky Freeley but the comedy was predictable and the cast way too beautiful to portray a real high school. However, I decided to stick with it and ended up enjoying the show's storylines and characters as well as the interview-like tidbits.
The series aired its season finale last week and is now awaiting ABC's upfronts to know if it'll come back next season or have to close the books. To help ABC make its decision, here are some reasons why Miss Guided should be renewed.
The ick factor: 24's awkward romantic moments
*Warning, spoilers from this week's episode.*
This week's scene with 24's Acting President Noah Daniels pawing and kissing his aide Lisa Miller in the Oval Office, was, in a word, creepy. And when I thought about this season's multitude of, shall we say, unusual romantic/couple scenes -- of which there's been an abundance by 24 standards -- there was no question that the Daniels-Miller necking topped my list of the most uncomfortable amorous moments the season.
Other awkward contenders:
ABC and CBS reveal more pilot casting news
Meanwhile, over at CBS, Hugh Jackman (Wolverine!) is producing something called Viva Laughlin. Lloyd Owen (Miss Potter) will star as a family man trying to open a casino in Laughlin, NV. Word is that Jackman will appear in the pilot and may have a recurring role on the series. Given just that bit of knowledge, I'm intrigued by the possibilities.
Not coming to 24: Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller
What happens when two really big celebrities want to guest star on one of TV's hottest shows?
Both Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller wanted to appear on FOX's 24, but producer Joel Surnow turned them down because they are "too recognizable. They'll take you out of the reality."
The show has added a lot of new cast members this season, including Rick Schroder, Peter MacNichol, Regina King, Eric Balfour, Powers Boothe, and Michael Angarano, so maybe a big name star (or stars) would put the entire feel of the show out of whack.
Eric Balfour resurrected on '24'
According to Michael Aussiello over at TV Guide, Balfour has signed on to a role as a 'series regular', which means we'll see him for more than one episode. Maybe he'll replace poor, sweet Edgar Stiles (Louis Lombardi)?
I have one word for this piece of news: YUM.
Conviction: The Wall
Conviction: Madness
Is it me or was everyone talking really fast during this episode? That opening sequence was all smooth and slow and then we just dove right the heck into fast-talking office-speak and, I tell you what, I spent the rest of the episode playing catch-up.
Conviction: Breakup
Conviction: Denial

The Training Arena - Q&A with Laura Sogar
The latest installment of our series about training features Arena athlete Laura Sogar.
Leave a question or comment for Laura below by May 5 11:59PM, and you will be entered to win a pair of the Arena COBRA goggles.
1) We all know getting in the pool can be a struggle some days, what keeps you motivated on days like this?
I will be the first to admit how hard getting up for those 5:30 morning workouts can be but thinking about my competition and if they are working hard that morning always gets me motivated to make sure I am not losing out on any training time. It helps that I always end up having fun with my teammates once I am at workout and any of that initial desire not to go is quickly forgotten when we are laughing during warmup.
2) What does the inside of your swim bag look like- do you have a favorite practice suit, type of goggle, or training accessory?Read More
I really really love my arena challenge back suit, I wear them every single day at workout and they're super comfortable and flattering. As far as equipment goes I cannot do without my kickboard. Kicking is a huge part of my stroke so I spend a lot of quality time with my board doing kick sets. I also am getting really into yoga so at a meet you can often see me with my yoga block stretching out before warmup.Tagged with: #trainingarena #laurasogar #arena #q&a #swimmer #swim #swimoutlet
The Brighter, the Better
Imagine walking down the beach, in the glistening sun. As you're strolling through the salty air and soft sand, you notice: all eyes are on you. Immediately, you wonder if your new, colorful swimsuit is twisted in all the wrong ways. Why else would all of these people be looking?Read More
Running in our Backyard
Hello SwimOutlet fans!
You may have noticed over the past few months, that SwimOutlet.com has been increasing its product selection beyond swimming to include running, yoga and surf gear, too. So we'll have some non-swimming posts from time-to-time.
We're building up a running culture here and this weekend a bunch of staffers ran in the popular 408k Race to the Row in San Jose.
Congrats to the participants!
Asics was nice enough to send us a few pairs of the new GEL-Kayano 19 that just hit our inventory to try out for the race – and we took them for a test run out back of our office along the Guadalupe River Trail.
Having a trail behind our office is a big perk of being at SwimOutlet.com. The Guadalupe River Trail runs 11 miles from downtown San Jose to the southern most point of San Francisco Bay. It's flat and has both gravel and paved sections, making it a perfect spot to try out the new Asics.Read MoreTagged with: #RunOutlet.com #running #workrunningtrail

TV Ratings: Low 'Big Bang Theory' leads sluggish Thursday, while 'Surviving Jack' finale rises
Fast National ratings for Thursday, May 8, 2014.
Spring doldrums hit Thursday primetime hard, with big audience drops for most primetime offerings, including CBS' "Big Bang Theory," which had its weakest night in recent memory. Of course, even a historically weak "Big Bang Theory" was still able to lead Thursday in all measures and carry CBS to comfortable primetime wins.
Among the other shows posting big audience declines on Thursday were "Grey's Anatomy," "Bad Teacher" and "Black Box," while NBC's "American Comedy Awards" was no match for last week's IHeartRadio award show.
On the positive side, FOX's "American Idol" had a slight rebound from last week's Thursday low, while the newly cancelled "Surviving Jack" got a solid bump for what seems to be its series finale. If these numbers hold up, "Surviving Jack" will end the week as FOX's most-watched comedy and tied with "New Girl" in the key demo.
On to the numbers...

Opposition parties today attacked the Centre over the UPSC row and said that the admit cards for the CSAT examination should be revoked until the issue is resolved. "UPSC has already issued admit cards. In the next three days, the situation will become worrisome. The government cannot walk on two separate paths," JD(U) president Sharad Yadav said, adding that the admit cards should be revoked until the three-member committee submits its report on the issue and a decision is taken.
Congress said the government should show seriousness about resolving the issue and added that the party is ready to take up the fight on behalf of UPSC aspirants both inside Parliament and outside. "My sympathy is with the students who are talented and come from Hindi medium. The Centre and UPSC should seriously think about it. There should be no compromise on quality.
Congress is ready to fight their battle inside Parliament and outside," said Congress MP and AICC General Secretary Digvijay Singh. Aam Aadmi Party, too, said that it backs the demands of the protesting students. AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal charged that the "Centre kept sleeping on the UPSC issue and allowed the situation to get out of control". "Police should stop beating the protesting UPSC students.
Their demands are genuine. AAP supports their demands," Kejriwal said in a tweet.
Police shud stop beating protesting UPSC students. Their demands genuine. AAP supports their demands.
— Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) July 25, 2014
Central govt kept sleeping over the UPSC issue and allowed the situation to get out of control.
— Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) July 25, 2014
BSP said the government should seek a solution at the earliest. "This issue has been raised before in both Houses of Parliament. The Centre has said it will seek a solution, but until now, no solution has been sought and our party strongly disapproves of it," said BSP supremo Mayawati.
BJP, meanwhile, hit back at Congress for its criticism. "The (three-member) committee was formed by the previous UPA government. Now that they (Congress) are in the opposition, they are blaming us for the mess. In fact, we are trying to find a solution to this," said the Minister of State in the PMO, Jitendra Singh.
UPSC aspirants are protesting against the pattern of the Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) which they believe gives an unfair advantage to English-speaking students while leaving candidates from Hindi or regional languages-background at a disadvantage. They want the CSAT to be scrapped.
Protests have intensified after Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) issued admit cards yesterday for the preliminary entrance exam scheduled for August 24.

She was still awake an hour later, listening to the sounds of the house ... wind against the window, the hum of the heat, and the muffled sounds of the television downstairs. Suddenly, the television sounds stopped. Mara smiled. She'd waited him out and he had finally gone home. She glanced at the alarm clock to check the time, but the face was blank. The red numbers had disappeared--which meant the power was out.
She slipped out of bed and gingerly made her way downstairs. At the bottom of the staircase she put her hand out to feel for the wall, but touched something not quite as hard or flat as the wall.
"Aren't you gonna buy me dinner first?" Paul mumbled his voice full of humor. He took her hand from his stomach and held it. Mara resisted the urge to slap him with her free hand.
"The power is out," whispered Mara as she yanked her hand from his.
"I noticed."
"Don't be a smart ass!" Mara snapped. "I have to go start the generator."
"Wait a minute," he said. Mara felt his hand wrap around her wrist and bit her lip to keep from sighing. "Where's the generator?"
"Behind the house, a few yards east of the garage," she answered.
"It's the middle of the night. We don't really need electricity. As long as we can stay warm, the generator can wait until morning. Does that fireplace work?" He nodded toward the fireplace on the far wall.
"I ... I ... think." Why couldn't she talk when he was touching her? Hell, she couldn't even think.
"Cool. I'll start a fire and we can sleep down here tonight."
Mara sighed. "We ... uh ... my mom doesn't keep wood on hand."
"We'll just have to bundle up and triplecover ourselves ... maybe cuddle to keep warm."
Her mind had been so muddled that she hadn't noticed that he'd been pulling her closer even when she bumped into the soft wall that was his chest. The cuddling comment shocked her out of complacency. "What are you doing?!" she almost shrieked.
"I really think we should talk," he whispered making her knees wobble a bit.
"We talked yesterday. I don't have anything else to say to you."
His large hands held her waist firmly when she tried to back away.
"You never let me defend myself," he said removing one hand but maintaining a strong grip on her waist. She felt it against her cheek and the sigh slipped out.
There was only darkness around them so she jumped when his lips pressed against her cheek.
"I wasn't cheating. You never told me anything," he whispered again.
Mara pressed her palms against his chest and pushed. His grip didn't give a bit. "Don't do that. We're not talking about this now."
"If not now, when?"
Mara wrestled herself from his arms. "Never ... I'm going back to bed. There are blankets and extra pillows in the linen closet at the top of the stairs. You can sleep on the couch."
"Can't I get upgraded to the guest room?" Paul called from the darkness behind her.
"You are not a guest ... so you sleep on the couch."

Leak in Samba Versions from 3.0.29
Samba versions from 3.0.29 include a security failure. Developers have released an update to fix it.
The Samba advisory indicates that the security leak resulted from a change to GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) version 4 optimization. It seems a cut-and-paste error in the range checking code can allow a malicious client to alter the Server Message Block (SMB) process to pass arbitrary memory requests back to itself.
The Samba team ran into the error during an internal code investigation. The advisory recommends an immediate patch upgrade.
Patches are available for download here. The new Samba versions, 3.2.5 and 3.0.33 already have the patches applied. The team also points to the fact that the Samba 3.2 directories are now located in the /recent directory and are no longer in an experimental state.

I wanted to share some thoughts about some skills and items our group has found a little too powerful or lacking. (Only RAW, we did not use any expansion packs)
1) Relics for the Overlord are a dissapointment. They not only don't stack, but also usually don't appear or, when they appear, are easily countered by heroes, when they just kill the lieutenant, which is sometimes very easy. It should at least be possible to trade them for something, like threat or XP. It is not a major balance issue, but It makes the OL envy, especially that there is no way to counter the Heroe's Relics in the similar way, and the Heroe's Relics do stack.
2) Staff of Light. In the basics, the game is about putting your resources (mainly actions) to a good use, and taking away the actions of opponent. This relic is making the OL unable to take actions away from Heroes. Killing 3 heroes, but not the staff of light bearer, gives you no actions anymore, they stand up. They are ready to act and their damage was not changed. Not only that, but they no longer need to rest, which makes it even more powerfull. OL is no longer able to separate that one hero and block the others way to him. Staff of Light works through the monsters giving a free rez. I think it does too much. I have not found a good way to counter this as an OL. Not to mention it is pretty good weapon too.
3) Disciple class, especially Cleansing Touch. When we compared the heroes, it was the class that could most easily use all of his skills each turn without any drawback or risk that a rest action would be needed. Basically the class is based on prayer of healing. Prayer of healing is a good skill, becuase it doesn't require an action. But when you take more and more passive buffing skills for it, it becomes everything in one. Healing 2 heroes, cleansing conditions from them, giving them more defense for entire turn, making their attack stronger. Basically I see two problems here, the cost doesn't go up. When other hereos are buying more skills, they have to pay for them. They have to make choices, which skills should be used. Disciple -> no, free everything for everybody. Second problem is condi removal. It counters a lot of OL possibilities to take away actions from heroes at no cost at all. Disciple + Staff of Light is nightmare of every Overlord. I don't see any effective way to deal with that pair.
4) Danger Sense -> the only ability that can influence the OL hand. Now that should not make it into the game. After buying that skill, the Wildlander prooved itself to be the most usefull when he did nothing else except using Danger Sense every turn. Granted, in the expansion there is a counter to this, but combined with Disciple, the counter is countered Basically, what we have experienced is that it was possible for the Heroes to "deadlock" most of the quests. By "deadlock" i mean that heroes used Prayer of Healing, 2x Staff of Light if needed, did other stuff that was most usefull for that turn. 2 damage dealers had 1 additional yellow. Wildlander -> Danger Sense and whatever. Damage dealers deal damage. If immobilize is needed, one of them does it. Repeat. If that led to more monsters destroyed every turn than reinforcements AND OL had no way of doing his Objective next turn, it meant that each turn it was even harder for the OL to make his objective. Until it was not possible anymore. Then, heroes picked up all search tokens. Next encounter.
5) Immobilize -> There are scenarios where it shouldn't be possible to immobilize some key creatures. Creature has no way of countering immobilize, with move up to x or gain x movement points. No way of cleansing the condition. It is far too easy for heroes to consistently do this over and over again.
6) Unholy Ritual -> After patch, it is slightly underpowered. Granted it needed that patch, but now I think it needs a small buff. There are only few scenarios where you can cast it for free. Maybe think of some way of giving more card draw for large monsters or something? Or tie it again to the number of heroes in some way. Like, draw x (number of heroes) and keep x (number of monsters, max 2)
Now examples of scenarios where combined, these things led to heroes easy victory:
The Frozen Spire.
Wyrm Turns
Enduring the Elements.
Gryvorn Unleashed is a joke.
At some point, the heroes are getting much more powerful than act II monsters and are dispatching them quickly. Reinforcements are not enough. OL needs its cards!!! Without them there is nothing he can do. When we looked at each quest won by heroes and won by overlord, we noticed that he quest won by OL, where the ones where heroes did not use Danger Sense often enough. Staff of Light makes it easy to use Danger Sense even after Wildlander is knocked down. No way to counter this. Knocking out 2 heroes with 4 cards and monsters left after initial hero turn is often not possible. Everybody in my group agreed, that there is nothing better for the Wildlander hero to do, than discarding an OL card. It is almost a "skip turn" for an overlord. And sometimes, it is just that.

Up the creek with the wrong paddle?
Posted by: bartc on Nov-12-12 11:14 AM (EST) Category: Paddles
No, it didn't happen to me, but it could have. I have a serious question about that.
Got stuck on a sandbar yesterday. I was able to use my Wester Red Cedar Aleut paddle to essentially pole myself off the sandbar to the channel. Wasn't easy, but it worked. Proves the value of leverage.
The Aleut paddle is a very solid piece of wood. it looks like what it really is: a carved down 2'x4' board.
So if I had a plastic or carbon fiber Euro paddle, would that have worked? Or would I have broken the paddle?
Anybody know the answer from experience?
Just curious, now that I'm not stuck! BTW, this is a serious question, not an advertisement for APs....

I'm not sure if it would have broken a Euro paddle, but it certainly implies to me that carrying an AP or GP as a spare is a good idea. I typically carry both Euro and GP on any given paddle outing.
None of the Above
Posted by: Kudzu on Nov-12-12 4:39 PM (EST)
In a kayak you can just push forward or back with your hands. If that doesn't work it's time to get out and walk.
Not this muc!
Posted by: bartc on Nov-12-12 8:41 PM (EST)
Notorious for capturing stupid kayakers! Walking was not in order, I'm afraid.
Ditto for Mermaid walk ....
Posted by: seadart on Nov-13-12 12:43 AM (EST)
no way to know without actually trying!
Posted by: abc on Nov-12-12 4:47 PM (EST)
So go back there, get stuck again, and try it this time with a Euro paddle, carbon fiber preferred.
Technique is important
Posted by: mjamja on Nov-13-12 12:10 AM (EST)
If you have a Euro carbon or fiberglass paddle there is a preferred method for pushing off. Assuming you want to push off backwards from the sandbar plant the paddle into the sand at or just in front of your feet. The paddle should be at a 30 to 40 degree angle with the ground. Now you can apply force dircetly down the shaft so you are not bending the shaft or the blade. The paddles are much stronger this way than if you planted it more vertically and kind of used a reverse stroke motion to pry yourself off the bar.
handy beater
Posted by: willowleaf on Nov-13-12 1:14 PM (EST)
The main reason I carry my "beater" storm paddle on the deck (a sturdy 72" GP carved from a chunk of oak and heavily coated with marine grade varnish) is that I can use it as a pole for extracting myself from the sand and gravel bars and mucky silt shelves I am apt to encounter in my local waters. I hate to risk beating up my primary paddle, a one piece laminated WRC GP, in such endeavors and would hesitate to use any of my 2-piece Euros either.

Next time get out and move the boat if you value your paddle.

This stuff is not hard packed, it's the stuff you sink up to your calves in. So getting out was not the wisest move to make.

An open world is a type of video game level design where a player can roam freely through a virtual world and is given considerable freedom in choosing how or when to approach objectives.[1] The term "free roam" is also used, as is "sandbox" and "free-roaming".[2][3] "Open world" and "free-roaming" suggest the absence of artificial barriers,[4] in contrast to the invisible walls and loading screens that are common in linear level designs. An "open world" game does not necessarily imply a sandbox. In a true "sandbox", the player has tools to modify the world themselves and create how they play.[5] Generally open world games still enforce some restrictions in the game environment, either due to absolute technical limitations or in-game limitations (such as locked areas) imposed by a game's linearity.

Like I said, things we normally associate with Sandbox MMOs (housing, crafting, FFA pvp, etc) can work in a sandbox, and can improve the experience, but these are features that don't directly translate into Sandbox.)
Vanguard's FFA pvp server had non-instanced housing, crafted boats, a really customizable crafting system in general (with made-to-order items and crafting mechanics that had it's own "combat", skills, level and gear system), and FFA pvp, non-instanced dungeons, a huge open world, multiple starting cities, freedom in leveling up (there were multiple zones over multiple land masses that offered the same level mobs, so non-linear leveling).... and yet no one would even say that Vanguard was a "Sandbox" or even a "SandPark".
Point is that sandbox is a term that can mean many things. There is no official definition of what that word means, only the definitions of what people want* it to mean.

Death to Themepark.
Arguments over semantics and ignorant misconceptions flyin' all over the place in here.
Sandbox and themepark are relative designations. Relative primarily to the time which they were developed and the technology available.
Everquest was never referred to as themepark before WoW. It was a term used specifically to describe World of warcraft and the emerging gameplay that provided players with a steady flow of instant gratification, steamlined content and very linear progression much like that of a patron making his or her way around a themepark from one attraction to the next, and their ability to experience a said attractions in a short time with little effort.
A game is not, nor ever has been "themepark" simply due to the existence of levels or content created for players of a certain strength or level. PvE doesn't mean themepark, PvP doesn't mean sandbox.
Sandbox games did not always include terraforming or even city building, but they were sandbox then none the less.
You can't argue what did or did not constitute a sandbox or themepark in the past based on the modern definitions of either term.
UO for instance, was about as much like classic EQ on a pvp server as it is like a modern sandbox game such as Wurm Online. EQ pvp had racial and alliance territory and city control. There were players who just crafted and bought sold in the trade areas (EC/Gfay). There were players who only PvP'd, there were players who mostly PvE'd. There was very real diplomacy and systems of order and discord determined by the players. Yes, you didn't build cities, but frankly that wasn't much more limited than UO at that time.
See how silly it is to try to classify old games by new labels?

Looking at this, you can see where just about any MMORPG would not be a true sandbox. You can just log in and decide that dragons are going to rain from the sky and kill the server. In an MMORPG, players want a game, and a game* requires rules that the players must abide by. You are not given total freedom.
Single player games are able to have more freedom (No one cares if you nuke your own city in Sim City), but in an MMORPG you need to create an environment that's health for everyone.
You would not make the game so "free roam" that a 5 minute old character can just walk across the map and punch a castle to the ground or go kill Lord Naggy solo. You're not going to make every zone in the game able to be beaten by a fresh player (that would take away progression and character development people want).
There are tools that can be used to allow the players more freedom than other games. Multiple areas for character to progress through instead of just just 1 linear path, no levels at all, making the entire game completely skill based so you really can "free roam" if you're good enough, open world house crafting, transforming the environment (building castles, burning forests, etc), freedom to treat players however you want (kill, steal, abuse, etc), ability to create your own content (like the Neverwinter foundry), etc etc....
But these features do not HAVE to be in the game for it to be a sandbox game.

I haven't played all mmos. Has there ever been a pure sandbox? I mean where players design or create everything from scratch or prefabricated templates?
I want a themepark with a side order of sandbox and tons of emergent gameplay.

The closest thing that I have played to a pure sandbox is Minecraft, but it isn't an MMO, and it isn't 100% pure sandbox (in survival mode anyway). I have, however, played some very very "open world" MMO's--Asheron's Call and Darkfall spring immediately to mind.
Personally, I think that what the vast majority of players calling for a sandbox want is a non-restrictive open world MMO, with some minor sandbox elements (like non-instanced housing and player built towns). The word "sandbox" has come to mean more than its literal meaning; it seems to mean something like "everything unlike a themepark".

The "twin cities" serve as a regional center for the upper Midwest and northern Great Plains. The fully cosmopolitan area is a balanced industrial, commercial, educational, and cultural center, and functions much as one city. The area is one of the most economically diverse in the country, serving as headquarters to large firms in agriculture, food, banking, technology, retailing, healthcare, and transportation. A few of the well-known companies include General Mills, 3M, US Bancorp, United Healthcare, and retailers Target and Best Buy. Job growth is still fairly modest, but overall, the Twin Cities have have a strong and prosperous feel.
The twin downtown areas sit on either side of the Mississippi River. Both are modern with attractive buildings, clean streets, entertainment, nightlife, parks, museums, and other first-class cultural amenities. Minneapolis is more progressive, energetic and cosmopolitan while St. Paul is the smaller, quieter and more traditional of the two. Both downtowns are well used and aided by a network of elevated interior walkways called "skyways" connect buildings and attractions—a feature necessitated by the harsh, winter climate. According to one source, the area has more theaters, dance companies, and classical concerts per capita than any city outside of New York. Because Minneapolis-St. Paul is not a tourist destination, the local population enjoys these amenities almost exclusively. The population is highly educated, schools have an excellent reputation, and there is an abundant intellectual energy among the area's citizens.
For those not interested in the arts and downtown scene, there is still plenty to do. Sports are a big attraction—the city has a full assortment of major- and minor-league sports teams. On the south side of Minneapolis in Bloomington, the Mall of America—with 400 stores—is the largest mall in the U.S. and is as much an amusement park as a mall. Such indoor facilities are particularly attractive given the winter climate. Summer recreation includes outdoor activities on the many surrounding lakes and wildlife viewing. Winter-sports enthusiasts enjoy ice skating and hockey, snowmobiling, and cross-country and downhill skiing at nearby facilities. For those wishing to get away, air service is excellent, although the dominance of Northwest Airlines can mean higher fares.
The downtown area is surrounded by a patchwork of residential and commercial neighborhoods which are on the whole more attractive than most other cities of the size. Some of the better suburbs lie south and west of Minneapolis. The more upscale Edina and Eden Prairie are comfortable and well planned. Bloomington and Richfield are more middle class with substantial commercial and retail development. Large super-suburbs, including Lakeville and Apple Valley across the Minnesota River to the south, offer excellent family settings.
Farther west, Minnetonka, the small upscale lakefront Wayzata, and the booming Maple Grove to the northwest offer an excellent set of residential choices, with considerable employment nearby. Commutes are busy and getting busier, but the variety of neighborhoods and location of commercial and industrial areas makes it possible for residents to choose their commute. Not to leave St. Paul out, Woodbury, Maplewood, and White Bear Lake are excellent suburbs; each with its own collection of quality employment in commercial areas nearby.
Cost of living has traditionally been high by national, and particularly regional, standards, but the rest of the nation is catching up. That said, the more expensive areas are far more expensive especially on a Midwest scale, and Minnesota taxes are relatively high compared to other states. For those willing to wear warm clothes and sacrifice a little financially, the Twin Cities have a lot to offer.
Terrain around the Twin Cities is flat or gently rolling, with a mix of open and densely wooded areas. Dotting the surrounding landscape are numerous lakes, the largest being Lake Minnetonka, 15 miles west. Most lakes are relatively small and shallow and freeze in winter. The climate is northern continental with seasonal temperatures varying from –30 degrees or lower to over 100 degrees. The area is near the northern edge of the influx of Gulf of Mexico moisture. Summers can be warm and humid, but are usually pleasant. Winters are cold, with days ranging from cloudy near freezing to clear, bitter cold, and windy. The area averages 34 nights per year below zero, far more than any other large American city. Severe storms, including blizzards, freezing rain, tornadoes, wind, and hailstorms occur. Most precipitation occurs during the summer period, and snow cover is persistent through the winter, averaging 6 to 8 inches in the city and 8 to 10 inches in the suburbs. First freeze is October 1, last is early May.

Texas Architect Jan/Feb 2007: Spaces for Learning
Texas Architect is the official publication of the Texas Society of Architects, each edition features recently completed projects and other editorial content largely written by AIA members in Texas. That collective participation was the basis of Texas Architect's recognition by the national AIA with a 2010 Institute Honor for Collaborative Achievement.
1/2 2007 texas architect 17 CALENDAR In November, the National Trust for Historic Preservation presented its National Preserva- tion Honor Award to projects in Texas—The Southwest School of Art and Craft in San Anto- nio and Socorro Mission in El Paso. The projects were among 21 national award winners honored in the National Trust's annual awards. The long-vacant campus of the Ursuline Academy – the first school for girls in San An- tonio – was purchased in stages beginning in 1965 by the San Antonio Conservation Society to prevent its demolition. In 1971, the Southwest School of Art and Craft moved into the Ursuline site, and by 1980, all of the former Ursuline grounds and buildings had been purchased. In the ensuing decades, more than $20 million has been invested in rehabilitation of the handsome limestone buildings and grounds, and a recently completed master plan provides a blueprint for the future. Today, the complex is a center for arts education and community events that attract more than 200,000 people annually. Socorro Mission, one of the most significant historic sites in the Southwest, was founded in 1682 to serve Spanish and Piro Indian refugees who fled the Pueblo Revolt in New Mexico. While the mission buildings were twice swept away by floods, the current structure dates to 1843 and the building's distinctive adobe facade, bell tower, and sanctuary were added in 1872. Unfortunately, the exterior of the mission was plastered with cement in the twentieth century, trapping damaging water in the walls. In addition, decades of sun, rain, heavy use and misguided maintenance left the church with rotting timbers, a leaking roof, and walls that threatened to topple. Today, several years and 20,000 adobe bricks later, those problems have been corrected. Most of the mission's rehabilitation was done by volunteers, in- cluding parishioners and others from several countries—all trained in traditional building skills by the nonprofit Cornerstones Commu- nity Partnerships. Their labor was augmented by archeological, architectural, and historical research that will benefit similar preservation projects everywhere.

Activities planned for the expected 24,000 attendees include Fiesta! San Antonio, a celebra- tion of the city's beloved traditions hosted by AIA San Antonio. In addition, more than 60 tours will highlight every facet of San Anto- nio—from its historic Spanish missions to its south-side "ice houses," as well as much of the city's award-winning architecture. Concurrent with the convention will be the debut of a new architectural guidebook, Tradi- tions & Visions: San Antonio Architecture. The guidebook surveys the best of the city's and region's built environment, and also includes essays on the natural and cultural factors influ- encing the city's development. Registrants who sign up for one or more tours will receive a free copy of the guidebook. The convention theme, "Growing Beyond Green," inspired many of the planned activities. One example is the Green 150 gift – the planting of 150 trees in honor of AIA's sesquicentennial.

Iditarod leader Dallas Seavey left the White Mountain checkpoint this morning, with only 77 miles and one final checkpoint separating himself from Nome and total victory over the toughest race in the world.
As it stands, Dallas Seavey has an hour lead on Aliy Zirkle and almost two hours on the third place musher, Ramey Smyth. The only question now, is whether or not Zirkle's 10 dog team can overtake Seavey's 9 dog team before he reaches Nome.
Iditarod officials announced this morning that they expect Seavey to arrive in Nome sometime between 5p.m. and 6p.m. this evening, so stay tuned for the final results of this year's race right here at
Day seven of the Iditarod is well underway, and the race is turning into a duel between former Yukon Quest champions Aily Zirkle and Dallas Seavey. Both Zirkle and Seavey have already cleared Nulato and are making their way toward Kaltag, with the rest of the pack fading further and further behind.
Kaltag is the final checkpoint that follows the Yukon River, and is only 261 miles from the finish line at Nome. However, the final stretch will not be easy, as racers make their way to Unalakleet and the edge of the Bering Sea. High winds, low visibility and fatigue become prominent factors along the coast, where the elements amplify the physical stress of the race with the intense mental fatigue of strategy.
The final stretch from Unalakleet is where winners are made and spirits are broken; where strategy and counterattacks are critical; and when experienced dogs matter most.
The toughest race on Earth is about to get a whole lot tougher, so stay tuned for more updates right here at I Has a Hot Dog!
