Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

text: tsunami Cascadia Superquake: Are Locals Ready For It? (Hint: No) By KPLU News Staff • Jul 15, 2015 AP Images Listen Listening... / 0:48 A recent story in the New Yorker, which draws from the latest geological science, says that within 50 years there's a good chance a massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami will destroy a sizable portion of the Pacific Northwest and potentially kill 13,000 people in the process. And according to, "The Really Big One," the odds of this Cascadia quake within five decades are one in three for a large quake and one in ten for a more massive one. So KPLU asked people on the streets of Seattle if they're concerned about an earthquake and what, if anything, they've done to prepare for it. Click on the audio link (above) to hear their comments. 'Orphan Tsunami' Of 1700 Showed What A 'Megathrust' Could Do To Northwest Coast By Rae Ellen Bichell • Mar 11, 2014 USGS Three years ago today, a massive earthquake ripped through Japan, and the resulting tsunami sent thousands of tons of debris floating toward North America. But a tsunami could also happen right along the Northwest coast, on the Cascadia subduction zone, which stretches from northern Vancouver Island to California's Cape Mendocino.

Ordered to Germany, Pvt. Hagel wound up in Vietnam
WASHINGTON -- Chuck Hagel said a funny thing happened on his way to the Vietnam War as an Army private 45 years ago.
He almost went, instead, to Germany as one of nine soldiers entrusted with a top-secret shoulder-fired missile designed to shoot down Soviet MiG fighters in the event the Soviets launched an invasion of Western Europe.
After two months of training, Hagel decided he'd rather go to an actual war -- Vietnam. His Army superiors, however, seemed to doubt the sanity of that choice and decided it better take a closer look at his motives for volunteering for combat.
Hagel said in testimony Thursday before the Senate Armed Services Committee that he underwent two days of tests, was deemed fit of mind and body, got his orders for Vietnam and soon headed for the war front, arriving in December 1967.

Chrome OS update lets admins lock stolen machines
A locked device is a worthless device to many opportunistic thieves looking to pawn a gadget for a quick buck. For this reason, and due to the increasing number of gadget thefts, many states and advocates have pushed for better control over lost and stolen smartphones. Manufacturers have followed in line with this and added the ability to remotely lock or otherwise disable handsets, and with a new update, Google has given Chromebook users the same kind of security feature on their notebooks.

I know that some people think that I'm crazy but I'm starting my planning for Cassidy's (who will be 8 in June) birthday. She LOVES Winx Club but the deco is very expensive.
For Kayla's 5th Birthday she wanted a Doc McStuffins party...of course, Disney hadn't come out with any package decor so I made my own and had a picture of Doc and her group scanned on a half sheet cake.
But Winx club is going to be a bit more difficult. For the Doc party, I had the kid guests make their own doctors clip boards and decorate them with stickers. (I used binder clips, string, and a heavy cardboard stock) Then, I traced a large picture of Chilly and made some noses (carrots) and we played "Pin the nose on Chilly".
But what do I do with Winx Club? Are games and activities too "young" for an 8 yr olds party?

On the court, the Fightin' Whites were not the greatest intramural basketball team at the University of Northern Colorado last year. But when it came to marketing, the players had game.
After gaining international recognition for its mascot - a white man in a suit created to illustrate the insensitivity of American Indian mascots - the team sold more than 18,000 pieces of merchandise.
Today, the Fightin' Whites will present the UNC Foundation a check for $100,000, which will be used to set up the Fightin' Whites Minority Endowment Scholarship Fund.
Each year, interest generated from the fund will provide scholarships of up to $2,000 for two American Indians or other minority students. That could pay for a large portion of the $2,300 cost of spring and fall tuition at UNC for an undergraduate.
Team members, who didn't expect their message to reach beyond UNC's campus, said the popularity is overwhelming."We never believed in our wildest dreams that we would make all this money," said Jeff Vaniwarden, a white member of the team who juggles his schoolwork with the responsibilities of merchandise sales. "It's awesome that we're going to be able to help minority students come to UNC and help diversify our campus a little more."
The Fightin' Whites plan to be back on the basketball court this semester. Four of the original members will return, and the team hopes to add six new members.
The team also is designing a new logo for its shirts and other products, which include backpacks, coffee mugs, sweat shirts, boxer shorts, mouse pads and hats.
"We're hoping to spark interest again with a new design," Vaniwarden said.
Players on the Fightin' Whites also hope to spread their message across the country by loaning their name to intramural sports teams at other universities.
A team at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., recently adopted the name.
"Hopefully, if we expand to other universities, we will be able to keep the message going and not let it die after a year," Vaniwarden said.
Off the court, the team works with members of Coloradans Against Ethnic Stereotyping in Colorado Schools to talk to schools that have American Indian mascots about change.
So far, the group has had no success with Eaton High School, said founding member Francie Murry.
The Fightin' Whites formed last year to take a humorous jab at Eaton's mascot, the Reds.
The high school mascot features a caricature of an angry American Indian with red skin, a large nose and bowed legs, wearing a loincloth with a feather in his hair.
"Eaton keeps saying it's a dead issue," Murry said. "It's a real shame for the education of their kids."
Eaton Re-2 School District Superintendent John Nuspl did not return calls to the Tribune this week.
Murry said other schools have been more open to discussion.
Loveland High School, with its Indians mascot, has been talking to the group about a possible change for about a year now, she said.
"They've been really open and very polite," Murry said. "It's a far cry from the welcome we've gotten in Eaton."
Loveland's mascot uses images of eagle feathers, which in American Indian culture are religious symbols that represent a spiritual connection with the maker.
The group believes nicknames and caricatures are often historically inaccurate, misuse sacred American Indian symbols and demean native people.
Some Loveland residents have asked the school to get rid of the mascot, and principal Doug Deason decided to turn the controversy into a lesson.
"We've been asked, `Why do you think the mascot celebrates Native Americans?' That's a fair question," Deason said. "My purpose is to honor the concept of schools as learning institutions."
The group can't force a school to change, but it can discuss why it feels a change should happen, Murry said.
"The more interaction you have with people you don't know much about, the more you learn about what offends them," she said. "This is about education, not about forcing somebody to do something."
Associated Press contributed to this story.

With the October 30 trade deadline rapidly approaching, the time is right to analyze the best-case scenario when it comes to potential targets for the Tennessee Titans.
After a potentially season-saving win in Buffalo on Sunday, Tennessee finds itself at 3-4 and right back in the middle of a cluttered AFC Wild Card race.
The Titans defensive struggles have been well-documented, as they have allowed at least 30 points in six of its first seven games and have struggled to protect any lead the offense has handed them.
With a few teams falling out of contention and having depth at positions of need for the Titans, the time is right to examine some of the best-case scenarios the Titans could hope for as they look towards the deadline.

Historical Traveler Reviews Terralta Apartamentos Turisticos Benidorm
Sun sea and sangria
My husband and I are just back from the Terralta Apartments (25/08/04) and must say we were very impressed. Ok, it is at the top of a hill which is quite a hike (not that we wever climbed it as taxi from Poniente is less than 5 euros)
The apartment was lovely, and it overlooked the pool.
The food in the "restaurant" was reasonably priced and a good helping. Ok it is not fancy or laced with trimmings that you don't eat, but good filling food with good service. My husband highly recommends the peppered steak, it is the best he has had in ages.
The staff are friendly and make you welcome,and it is always spotlessly clean.
We would recommend these apartments to anyone. Benidorm itself is not exactly my cup of tea but Terralta certainly was.
Brilliant holiday!
got back from benidorm on the 7th of august,was there for 2 weeks and thought it was brilliant.plenty for the kids to do,arcades,pool tables,park. good enternainment for the kids through the day aswell as night.karaoke,discos,games. ther were plenty of games for adults too involving jugs of sangria!
nice appartments,very clean and the staff were nice too. only bad thing is the huge hill to get to terralta!
would reccomend to anyone,great place for the kids! cant wait to go back next year!
Loved the Terralta
When I stayed at the Terralta apartments... it was great because all the reps were nice and friendly.
Every night when we were going out we strolled down the BIG STEEP HILL. When we were coming home we had to walk up the BIG STEEP HILL.
It was great we loved it so much were going again this year 14 August 2004. Ican't wait.
Loved it
great time had, i went on my own and met some nice people, even fell for a welsh guy but has decided he no longer wants to contact me!!! Great holiday.
Pool was great and atmosphere sound, evening entertainment was ok, beers too dear in bar so go to shop and stock the fridge up!!!
well recommended
Mundomar/aqualandia are a must!
we went terralta 2nd june till 16th june 04.
2 adults 2 kids and an infant. we found these appartments fantastic we had everything we needed,in our appartment was a decent sized tv with internet access,phone,microwave hairdryer.down stairs was a launderrette this was just what we needed with 3 young children 1-5 years.the rep simon(airtours was very helpful) the staff on reception how they got there jobs i just dont know all they seemed to say was yes.we couldnt get any sense out of them.the manager is a really misrable man when it was england v france he banned the english channels besides sky news and cnn.then sulked cos every one went out that night.the hill every one seems to mention isnt that bad we had 2 prams and had no trouble although late at night we would have a taxi back but i think every one did.we got our free tickets to terralta although we did have to ask for them,im glad they were free as its not as good as its made out too be,universal mediterenea in salou was soo much better.the workers there went very helpful they all seemed to have attitude problems.
mundomar is a must me and the kids loved it,we had our photos taken with the dolphins(book this early to avoid disapiontment),my eldest daughter (5) got picked out of the audience to be pulled in a little boat around the pool by a dolphin,camera's are a must.theres a park and picnic area in there too great if you have young kids.aqualandia was good too although drinks were very expensive in there.the two parks can be done in 1 full day if you go to mundomar early 10am. for food tony romas is a must the meals are great.we didnt order food from the bar at terralta after a few people warned us about it.the entertainment for june was rubish at 8pm everynight theres a disco for kids were theres hardly any kids joining in,the bingo is 5 euros,theres the parrot show twice a week we only stayed in once or twice it was really boring at night there nobody really spoke to anyone or mixed and made freinds(were the young freindly type).it was mostly young couples with kids just like us.
the pool was great they have a life gaurd there too.
i would go back to terralta again as the rooms are spaciouse clean and modern but the nightly entertainment is just a big let down
have a great hioliday if your going there but just
make sure you ask for your free tickets to terra mittica(or you wont get them)
Not that hill again!
just returned from terralta apts. on 1st june 2004 and won't be returning. it was a lovely hotel but too far out. rooms were great but cleaners round to often [kept disturbing us] don't buy any tickets off your rep [he caught us for about 40 euros] just go to mundomar and the waterpark and pay on entrance. once in one you can buy discount tickets for the other and your rep won't tell you this.
its about a 5 min walk down to old town and 45 min to new town its not to bad a walk we did it everynight but get a taxi home or the hill will kill you especially if you got a pram.taxi about 7 euros to new town, don't miss phil the clown and the hypnotist at pancho's bar not much other entertainment if you've got young kids. doesn't start until 9pm and all kids entertainment is over by 12pm when they ask you to leave as sticky vicky and the strippers start then go see her if you can [she's 72] hotel evening entertainment was crap bingo for about 2 hours at 5 euros a turn! terra mitica was good day out for all but don't take any food or drinks as they search your bags on entrance and confiscate it. we wouldn't go back to benidorm until kids are a lot older and definately not to terralta apartments as there wasn't enough atmosphere there and not central enough.
brilliant, is all i can say. the weather was superb although we did have one bay day but that didn't matter as the hotel has in indoor swimming pool, that is open from october to april. Plenty of stuff for people my age to do (i'm 15). although it is situated on ahil, it is not very steep and only takes five mins to walk down it and you are in to the main town. you are about a ten minute walk away from the old town.(which is excellent at night,well worth the visit).Beach is only at the end of the hill and is beautiful. i would really recommened it for families and for couples plenty to do all round.rooms are brillant.
Terralta apartments
just got back from terralta yesterday. hotel really clean, staff friendly and helpful. entertainment very poor does not really take off until may. pools are brilliant. only problems are hotel on very high hill, long walk down and back up again. terramitica very quiet know shows on yet and water parks closed until may. mundomar was excellant for dolphin show. first edition brochure said free terramittica tickets so we booked on that brochure, but they changed their mind in 2nd edition to read may-oct and would`nt honour it. also brochure said 3 euros for kids club they wanted 20euros up front for week for each child. going places in cardiff said club for 2 1/2 year old , but they would`nt take under 3yrs. beds are rock hard and pillows (great if you got bad back from walking up hill) i got high b/pressure which went up, no good for people with heart problems. taxis hard to get maybe because out of season. near beach sign for mcdonalds and lidls is pointing out to sea. take no notice is back the other way towards mountains taxi costs 9 euros there and about 8-9 coming back.all in all a very good place, very clean, plenty of space. should be excellant when season in full swing.weather at moment is scorching. have good time if anyones going. ps take aquasub trip to peacock island its amazing.
Great holiday
these apartments are very clean+ well looked after a bit of a walk to town but a taxi is only 2.50euro the bar is good food good the entertainment when we were there in april2004 was very poor the rooms are kept to the highest level + all staff very helpfull not much for kids though so keeping them happy could be a problem but overall a great place to go if you want to relax not for the teenagers
Brill, September 2003
Situated in the Old Town of Benidorm on a hill. Takes about five/ten minutes to walk to the beach, but a pleasant walk. A nice walk back during the evening, but slighty hard going in the day due to the heat.
All the staff are pleasant and friendly. The food in the restauarant is lovely, but can get busy during lunch time, hence food taking longer but it didn't bother me. There is a small childrens play area situated by the pool, don't have children so can't rate it, but it looked fun!!.
Pool a decent size and they have a whirlpool. Plenty of sunbeds when we went no matter what time of day you go.

NBC acquires 'Siberia' to battle 'Under the Dome'
NBC has acquired the high concept drama "Siberia" to go head-to-head this summer with CBS' heavily promoted "Under The Dome."
The drama, picked up from Sierra/Engine Television and producer Michael Ohoven's Infinity Films, is a scripted series about a reality show dropping 16 contestants in the Tunguska territory of Siberia, site of the famous 1908 meteor hit. As soon as the contestants land, one of them is seriously injured and mysterious things start happening.
"The concept of survival, when mysterious elements are at play, makes for a compelling show," blurbs Jeff Bader, President, Program Planning, Strategy and Research for NBC Entertainment. "We believe a scripted series that offers an insightful behind-the-scenes view of how a reality concept comes together — especially when things don't go according to plan — will connect with our audience in a very satisfying way."
Matthew Arnold created the series, which will premiere on Monday, July 1 in the 10 p.m.

Data lifted from the iPhone belonging to one of three defendants accused of murdering Brittany Killgore indicated that the phone, in the hours after Killgore went missing, was at the remote site where her body was later found, according to court documents released Wednesday.
The documents also indicate that investigators seized a number of items, including sex toys, whips and a "slave contract" from the Fallbrook home of the three suspects.
Marine Staff Sgt. Louis Perez, 46, and co-defendants Dorothy Maraglino, 37, and Jessica Lynn Lopez, 25, each have pleaded not guilty to charges including murder, kidnapping and conspiracy in the death of Killgore, whose nude body was found dumped alongside a rural road in Southwest Riverside County on April 17, four days after she was last seen alive.
Each of the suspects faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted. The trio is due back in court for a preliminary hearing in December.
The information released Wednesday comes from newly unsealed affidavits and inventory receipts for 18 additional search warrants. The documents described what evidence investigators were looking for ---- and what they found ---- during searches in the hours and days after Killgore, 22, went missing from her Fallbrook apartment.
Last month, courts unsealed four of the 22 warrants in the case. Most of the affidavits released Wednesday were repetitive and provided little new information, save for details such as the iPhone records.
The warrants were made public over the objections of prosecutors, defense attorneys and Killgore's family. They detail the alternative sexual lifestyle investigators said the trio of defendants practiced, and state that sex practices centered on domination and submission may have motivated the three to attack Killgore.
Authorities have said Killgore was "an unwilling participant" in the sex games the trio played.
In court, prosecutors have asserted that the trio targeted Killgore because one of the suspects, Maraglino, did not like her. Maraglino's attorney has said his client "had no advance knowledge of the killing of Ms. Killgore," and that accusations against his client are "conjecture and speculation."
According to one recently released search warrant affidavit, data extracted from Perez's iPhone revealed that the phone was at Lake Skinner about 3:50 a.m. April 14 ---- about 10 hours after Killgore was last seen.
Receipts for the items taken from the Fallbrook home where investigators believe Killgore was killed indicate investigators seized electronics, sex toys and items associated with bondage and sex games. Other items seized included prescription drugs, a plastic bag of condoms, an open package of drop cloths and many rolls of tape.
Two days after Killgore's body was found, one investigator wrote that he suspected that the "unusual sexual fetishes" of the defendants were part of the reason why they attacked Killgore.
Perez lived with Lopez and Maraglino in Maraglino's pale yellow house on East Fallbrook Street, about a block from one of the small town's main commercial corridors.
Investigators said in court documents that they believe Killgore was killed in the rundown Fallbrook residence.
Inside that home, investigators said they found a "sex dungeon" ---- containing several sex toys, tools and apparatuses.
A profile on a sex fetish website features a photo that appears to be of Perez and Maraglino. It stated that Perez called himself "Ivan" and referred to himself as "Lord & Master, Dom & Daddy of My house." Maraglino was described as his "slave" and "mistress."
Investigators said they found Killgore's body April 17, hours after finding a dazed and bloody Lopez in a Point Loma motel room, where she apparently had tried to commit suicide.
In the room, investigators also found a seven-page letter ---- an apparent suicide note ---- telling them where to find Killgore's body. The note included a detailed confession to Killgore's murder, and was signed with Lopez's name and aliases.
Three days before she went missing, Killgore had filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Marine Lance Cpl. Cory Killgore, while he was deployed in Afghanistan, according to court records. Investigators have said he is not a suspect in his wife's death.
She had packed up her home and was ready to move out of the state when she was killed.

BikeFest draws crowd at Millcreek dealership
Seventy-two motorcycles were parked neatly in rows inside the Harley-Davidson of Erie showroom today.
While hundreds of bikers listened to live music in the parking lots outside the Millcreek Township dealership at 3712 W. 12th St.., Corry resident Ken Drinkall, 37, who owns a Yamaha bike, eyed a black 2013 Harley Breakout, priced at $18.500.
"I've been itching to get a Harley,'' he said. "I ride with a group of about 20 and they all have Harleys. I'm the guy in the back. I want to be up front. That's the overall goal.''
Today marked the opening day of the Harley-Davidson BikeFest, which continues at the dealership through July 21. The nine-day event features concerts, vendors, group rides and other activities.
George Merced, 45, of Erie spent a few hours at the event, checking out the latest in Harley gear and attire.
"For the riders that are here, it's a good kickoff to the Roar on the Shore rally,'' Merced said. "It helps get everybody psyched up. This is more for the hometown people, I'd say the first four days, and when everybody from out of town comes, we're ready to welcome them with open arms.''
Merced is the lead singer for the Erie band Chrome, which will perform at the Harley dealership Sunday from 4 to 7 p.m.
Other activities today included demonstration rides by one of the six national touring Harley-Davidson Demonstration Teams, based in Milwaukee.
A 78-foot-long Harley tractor-trailer hauled 18 motorcycles to the BikeFest. Guides took riders in groups of 10 to 15 people for test runs. About 150 people participated. The demonstration rides continue Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

it's suing dead people or simply suing
living ones for millions of dollars for illegally
downloading a few tracks, media watchdog the Recording Industry
Association of America (RIAA) seems to gravitate towards controversy
like a moth to a flame. The divisive organization is back at it
again, this time demanding that the U.S. government impose a drastic
mandate on cell phone production.The RIAA will look to
introduce a provision into Congress's pending legislation, the
Performance Rights Act, which would mandate that all cell phones be
built with FM radio receivers.The seemingly bizarre mandate
is the keystone of an elaborate
game of financial chess between radio broadcasters and the
RIAA, with the implied assumption being that Congress will do
whatever the pair say. The RIAA wants to cut the
longstanding copyright exemption that allows radio stations to pay
less than full performance fees to labels and artists (satellite
radio and webcasters, by contrast, pay
the full fee). The National Association of Broadcasters
(NAB) opposes this measure, but is reportedly near a deal with
RIAA-led alliance musicFIRST.Under the deal radio stations
would agree to pay $100M USD more to labels and artists, but in
exchange the RIAA would back the broadcasters plan to force all cell
phones or other mobile devices in the U.S. to feature FM tuners.
Speaking with ArsTechnica,
musicFIRST commented,
"As regards the chip, this is a key issue for the radio
industry. musicFIRST, too, likes FM chips in cell phones, PDAs,
etc. It gives consumers access to more music choices."The
Consumer Electronics Association, which represents the key players of
the electronics industry, is ardently opposed to the plan which it
says seeks to impose damaging restrictions on the free market.
CEA president Gary Shapiro, "The backroom scheme of the
[National Association of Broadcasters] and RIAA to have Congress
mandate broadcast radios in portable devices, including mobile
phones, is the height of absurdity [and is] not in our national
interest."The NAB says no deal is finalized, but NAB's
Dennis Wharton comments, "However, if there is a decision made
by the Board of Directors to go forward and seek legislation,
including radio-enabled chips in mobile devices in possible
legislation seems to us to be a reasonable idea."They
say the CEA's complaints about market regulation are just sour
grapes, commenting, "It's no surprise that CEA opposes this,
since trade associations generally always oppose new rules. CEA also
opposed DTV tuners in digital television sets; the FCC decided that
having DTV tuners in TV sets was a good thing, and passed a rule that
gave consumers access to local TV stations on DTV sets.""We
would argue that having radio capability on cell phones and other
mobile devices would be a great thing, particularly from a public
safety perspective. There are few if any technologies that match the
reliability of broadcast radio in terms of getting lifeline
information to the masses."So is mandating radio tuners
in cell phones the same thing as mandating
DTV tuners in TV sets? The RIAA and NAB seem convinced
it is. And they seem equally convinced that Congress will do
their bidding, should they choose to roll out a finalized version of
their market regulation scheme.

quote: And what you leave out of the Fort Sumter argument is that Anderson was not stationed at Fort Sumter. He was stationed at Fort Moultrie. After South Carolina seceded he decided to move his troops to Fort Sumter. South Carolina demanded he surrender the fort, which was now on their territory, and they would be allowed to return home unharmed. Which they were when the fort was finally taken.
quote: It was not like South Carolina just attacked the troops there because they hated northerners and wanted war. You can make the argument that Fort Sumter was US government property but that applies to everything the South had. So really it is a non-argument. Also its not like the fort was taken the day after Anderson seized it. It wasn't until Lincoln attempted to resupply the fort that the decision to take it back was made. The Confederacy, established by then, probably realized it was a bad idea to let the Union control entrance to such an important trade port. Jefferson did not want to attack Fort Sumter so as not to appear as the aggressor. In the end, Andersons men were allowed to return home. Not exactly the brutal South that schools teach these days.

It is quiet and effective and Highly recommended. She has noticed a change and sleeps more soundly with the filter in operation. Its only downer is it emits way too much light at night. Excellent Product! Placed in the bedroom, husband suffers from allergies. Excellent results! Lights are a little bright for sleeping. Would love to have a dimmer switch to turn them down! Works great It works fine. Phone service over the phone I purchased an air filter from you and ordered needed new filter for it. It was easy to change and I ordered an extra one to have on hand. It was handled quickly on the phone and the order was received in a timely manner. Good and bad news Good news: This system filters air well, the best Sharper Image product Ive used for this purpose, and I have tried all back to the beginning. And it does not require washing the filter. Bad news: Accompanying instructions are poor and specialty phone reps that are supposed to resolve problems are not competent. Great product I purchased the air purifier about 6 months ago. LOVE it! So quiet and the filter lasted a really long time.

Gloam Valley
From the Super Mario Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Retrieved from "http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Gloam_Valley&oldid=1987797"
It has been requested that this article be rewritten.
Gloam Valley is the setting of Chapter 2 in Super Paper Mario. The valley itself only appears in the first section of the chapter.
Chapter 2-1: Bogging to Merlee's[edit]
Storyline text
With Princess Peach at his side, Mario set out once again, bound for adventure.
Gloam Valley becomes accessible after finding the orange Heart Pillar in the Flipside Outskirts. The dimension introduces pools of water meant to impede the player's progress, with Princess Peach's parasol often being the only way to cross them and proceed. Later on in the chapter, the Pixl Boomer is found and joins Mario's team, and his explosive abilities are used to continue forward and reach Merlee's Mansion, the setting for the remainder of Chapter 2 and the resting place of the third Pure Heart.

If you have spring crops in your rotation, then over-wintered stubbles may be the easiest way for you to provide seed food for birds through the winter.
The economic analysis below shows that you can make a profit from switching to a spring crop using Entry Level Stewardship (ELS) payments for over-wintered stubbles, as well as spreading your workload and getting better spring weed control.
Research has shown that birds such as skylarks and yellowhammers have declined most seriously in landscapes where there are no over-wintered stubbles. It is estimated that skylarks would not decline at all if over-wintered stubbles were left on 20% of the area. Stubbles managed under ELS with no pre-harvest glyphosate, are better for birds. The area needed is probably less if ELS stubbles are used.
Stubbles also benefit brown hares and rare arable plants.
Leave cereal stubbles uncultivated and unsprayed for as long as possible to provide seed food for birds.
Under ELS, the over-wintered stubble option requires no use of pre-harvest glyphosate and retaining the stubble without cultivations, sprays or fertilisers until 15 February.
Seed food available for birds peaks at the time of crop harvest, but becomes increasingly sparse from then until new seed sources become available in the spring. The later you can leave stubbles, the better, or you can supplement stubbles with wild bird seed mixtures.
Many seed-eating birds forage more successfully in short stubbles, where they can see approaching danger and fly off. However, gamebirds prefer to forage in tall stubbles that also act as cover for them through the winter.
(by Smiths Gore farm management)
The analysis compares a hectare of winter barley and a hectare of over-wintered stubble with ELS payment followed by a spring barley crop.
W malt barley yield: 6 t / ha
Spr malting barley yield: 5.25 t per ha
Barley value: £135 / t
For further details and help in doing your own calculations, visit the Smiths Gore website.
Chris Dowse, Hall Farm, Lincolnshire
'Stubbles are retained to provide land to support gamebirds and stand guns on shoot days and it fits in well with our farming system on the lighter land. These options are not suitable on the heavier soils on the Humber Bank due to the heavier weed burden here.
'The weeds are not considered to be an agronomic problem as they are easily controlled in the following crop.
'A variable stubble height is deliberately created in the fields by adjusting the cutter on the combine as the taller stubble provides some cover for gamebirds.'

SPRINGLAKE - Veterans came from all over, carrying their stories with them.
Some wore their branch of service on their heads or on their jacket lapels. Some of their eyes welled up when talking about fallen friends.
They sat in the Springlake-Earth school library Tuesday, watching a slide show of the hundreds of veterans that called this area home. They went to the new Veterans Memorial outside, touching bricks bearing their names.
Veterans, family and friends descended on Springlake-Earth school Tuesday to honor the sacrifice of veterans throughout the years.
"We should have been doing this a long time ago," said Melvin Chisum of Earth. "We're very indebted to all our vets."
Linda Thompson, the school librarian, spearheaded the Veterans Memorial project while she was adviser to the student council last school year. She applied for a $2,000 grant, which she received, and the local bank and the school matched.
Thompson and the students gathered veterans' names, and local people worked throughout the summer placing engraved bricks in a wall about 6 feet high. With space for 700 names, the wall contains 323, Thompson said.
It seemed that many people showed up for the wall's dedication. Many stood at a distance from the brick wall, looking for familiar names.
"I know them all, just about all," said Oletha Sanders of Earth as she paced along the wall.
The name of L.G. Layman of Earth was there. He served at the end of World War II in the Army Air Corps - first on the maintenance crew, then as a heavy equipment operator.
"It's nice," he said of the wall. "People can look back and see what we've done."
As part of the program, a pair of high school students sang "Taps." retired Army Maj. John Starkey and retired Army Brig. Gen. Joe Campbell, both Springlake-Earth area natives, spoke on motivation and heroism.
"Heroes happen all the time," Starkey said. "They happen and they don't think about it."
Campbell explained the meaning of the dash separating the years of service on each brick.
"This dash represents the many friends we made and lost during the war," he said. "Mere words on Veterans Day do not eschew our debt to them."
