New Zealand travel tips: 10 facts for first timers
Are you keen for a Kiwi getaway? Whether you're an winter wanderer, wildlife enthusiast or a wine 'n dine type traveller there's something for everyone!
1 / 3
Aoetaroa, the land of the long white cloud (in Maori) is one of the world's most remote countries to visit.
Eager to explore the craggy coastlines of the Bay of Islands? Or shop-till-you-drop in the new trendy pop-up city centre of Christchurch? Perhaps you're dangling for an adrenaline rush in Queenstown or a wet and wild experience with nature up close?
Whether you're an winter wanderer, wildlife enthusiast or a wine 'n dine type traveller there's something for just about every type of tourist in New Zealand!
So are you a newbie to New Zealand? Travelinsurance.co.nz brings first timers 10 travel tips for the country with more culture than you can shake a stick at!
1. You'll experience four seasons in one day
Wear layers and wrap up, pack your swimmers and an umbrella, only then you'll just about be prepared for a day's adventure in the country that experiences four seasons in a day! One minute you'll be lying on the beach, the next you're being pummelled by hail. A thrilling experience for the well-planned traveller. From the windy city of Wellington, to the brisk air of the Fox Glacier or the balmy breeze of Bay of Islands, travelling around New Zealand you'll cerainly experience all weathers – so be prepared!
2. There are no snakes
Ophidiophobics rejoice! Believe it or not there are no land snakes in New Zealand? (WHAT…none at all we hear you cry!?) No really, there are not, just one of the benefits of being so isolated from the rest of the world by the Pacific Ocean. Still want your fix of angry animals? Why not take a trip to Auckland Zoo, home to 138 different species and over 875 animals!
3. New Zealanders aren't very good at counting
Ninety Mile Beach at the top of the north island is actually only 90 kilometres long, not 90 miles! We'll forgive them for the slight blunder, only because the beach has some of the best surf you can get. And, not only that the beach is also officially a highway that you can drive along….just make sure you've got a 4wd and know the tides before you set off so as to avoid any nasty suprises!
4. You can swim with 1000 dolphins at once
Drive 2.5 hours north of Christchurch to Kaikora and you can you can swim with some of the biggest pods of dusky dolphins on the planet. Make sure you've had a warm cuppa before you enter the water as it's a brisk 13oc …..brrr! Did you also know, New Zealand is home to the world's smallest (and very rare) Hector dolphin, if you're lucky enough to encounter- check out their dorsal fin it looks like a Mickey Mouse ear. Oh boy!
5. It can be really stinky
Sat on the Pacific rim, New Zealand is home to A LOT of active volcanoes due to the constant movement of the tectonic plates. All this geothermal activity brings its share of thrills and spills to the surface. A trip to Roturua for example in the north island is a unique playground for gurgling mud puddles, huge geysers of boiling water and colossal puffs of steam. A stinky side affect being a whole lot of sulphur is brought to the surface making it really pongy! Make you pack some nose plugs for the adventure!
6. You're never far from a sheep
In New Zealand there are approximately 9 sheep to every human! (Now that is a lot of sheep…baaah) Did you know that only 5% of New Zealand's inhabitants are human in fact? And, more people live in Auckland than in the whole of the South Island (that must be where all the sheep are then!)
7. New Zealanders REALLY love lord of the rings (& the Hobbit)
So much so that they changed the City of Wellington's name to Middle Earth for a day, and added characters Gandalf, Frodo and Sam to their postage stamps. If you're also a hard core fan, why not take a two hour guided tour to the Hobbiton village movie set. Now is a really good time to go as the full set is still there from filming of the Hobbit movie.
8. Sign language is an official language
English is the main lingo of the land, as well as their local language of Maori, however in 2006 New Zealand became the first country to declare sign language as an official language. Good old Kiwis! Experience Maori culture at its best at the Tamaki Maori Village sat within a natural forest environment, offering both local and international visitors an insight into the Maori culture.
9. New Zealand has Australasia's highest mountain
Aoraki Mount Cook in the South island is a soaring 3,754 metres high (12,316 ft.) The Mackensie region where the mountain is situated is great for the adventure traveller – from easy trekking and tramping to gruelling alpine hikes, climbing on Aoraki has options for people of all walks of life. Did you know the Aoraki Mount Cook mountain was the peak that Sir Edmund Hillary practised on before his successful ascent of Everest?
10. The Kiwis invented the bungy jump as we know it
Staying on the subject for heights, back in 1988 New Zealand was the first country to start commercial bungy jumping at the Kawarau Bridge. Some never thought it would catch on, how wrong they were! (Did you also know the word "bungee" comes from a dialect from the west country of England meaning "Anything thick and squat"). If you've got a head for heights, head to Queenstown if you dare to dangle an epic 134m above the Nevis River, the highest Bungy in New Zealand is a once in a lifetime experience.
Pack these fascinating facts with you on your journey to New Zealand and you'll be in your way to a filled holiday quicker than you can say "Kia Ora"!

The MIDI Music Festival – one of China's top music events – continued its long running reputation for awareness raising by allowing Animals Asia to host an information booth at the event.
A stellar line-up, including the UK's Suede attracted a bumper crowd with 30,000 revellers braving wind and rain to make it to the three-day event's opening day.
An estimated 80,000 people are believed to have visited the site from 1 May to 3 May.
Animals Asia staff report that thousands of people visited their booth with 490 youngsters interested enough to sign up for Animals Asia updates.
Despite poor 3G access on site still more supporters began following Animals Asia on WeChat – China's Facebook equivalent.
The stall was given a boost by the presence of performance artist Han Bing – famous for her "Walking the Cabbage" series – who volunteered to don a bear suit and play Moonie for us.
Sascha Su, Animals Asia's External Affairs Officer who spent the holiday weekend managing the booth said:
"The amount of people who came to our stall was overwhelming and their comments entirely positive and supportive. We received many offers from potential volunteers including a vet. The weather wasn't great with torrential rain in the late afternoon of the first day and winds that almost blew our booth down on the third, but our team of volunteers held the fort."
Animals Asia founder and CEO, Jill Robinson MBE said:
"MIDI Music Festival is huge in Beijing and the level of exposure we received by being on site is unprecedented. I'd like to thank the organisers for giving us the opportunity to spread our message and especially to the team who gave up their entire holiday weekend to spread awareness about our work – they got to see some great music and the bears now have many new fans too!"

Gio Ponti vases for Ginori (#1365)
Gio Ponti vases for Ginori (#1365)
Pair of exceptional vases by Gio Ponti for Richard Ginori, Italy. 7" in diameter x 7.5" high. Absolutely perfect. Tennis and polo themed.
Gio Ponti: (from the Gio Ponti website)
One of the most famous and influential architects of the 20th century, Gio Ponti revolutionized the worlds of architecture and design. Gio Ponti was born in Milan, Italy, in 1891 and earned a degree in architecture after serving his country's military in WWI. He took his first job with an Italian ceramics company, serving as artistic director, and began to pursue architecture soon afterward. It is possible that his early career in ceramics design influenced the rest of his career, as Ponti never viewed architecture as simply creating buildings. Instead, he often conceived of the building's interior as well, creating furniture (chairs, coffee tables) , lighting appliances, and even items like ceramics, glassware, and silverware.
As if creating entire structures from the outside in wasn't enough, Gio Ponti also lectured at the university level, inspiring future generations of architects all over the world. He played a valuable role in publishing, serving as the inspiration behind two prestigious art and design magazines. Ponti's goal was to integrate the art and architecture worlds, as he believed a building should both serve a purpose and be a visually pleasing addition to a city. His publications, for which he wrote and edited, as well as his own work in architecture, reflected this priority.
Viewing the immense body of creative work Gio Ponti left for the world, one might wonder if the man ever slept. His daughter, Lisa, once estimated her father squeezed sixty hours worth of work into a single day. Ponti's career in architecture included famous buildings across the globe (Denver Art Museum, Pirelli Tower), he wrote poetry and painted, and his designs included not just home furnishings but even a coffee pot and an automobile. Even his personal correspondence was often illustrated with sketches of his ideas. He is remembered as an artist, architect, writer, innovator, painter, poet, and professor. His unique designs still have relevance today, as the originals are considered valuable collectors items and some creations are continually re-issued by various manufacturers. His legacy is one which spans two centuries, and will certainly continue to influence artists and designers well into the future.

My favorite place to be is at the weekend home I share with my boyfriend Eric in Malibu. When not on the beach, my favorite place to be is our living room. It makes me happy because it's comfortable, cheerful, and not too fussy…just what beach living should be. One of my favorite things is the giant bulletin board. We have an old Polaroid camera, & since we entertain so much, we like to capture all of our guests and pin them up on the board. I love how the white batten board paneling (painted in Benjamin Moore Super White) keeps the room feeling fresh and clean no matter what season we're in. We chose durable fabrics and slipcovered everything so there's no worrying about wet dogs and sandy feet, keeping everything California casual…just the way I like it.

Research Interest
I am interested in the physiological mechanisms that shape the expression of complex social behaviors and interactions of individuals in an evolutionary context. My research focuses on identifying biomarkers that are correlates of these physiological mechanisms and that can be readily measured in non-invasive samples. The conduct of careful analytical, as well as biological and physiological validation procedures are at the center of my work when evaluating the practicability and feasibility of a biomarker for behavioral research.
Currently I am validating the measurement of oxytocin, a neuropeptide hormone underlying bonding behaviors in mammals, in urine samples of dogs and wolves. This hormone is suggested to be involved in human-dog bonding, and thus its dynamics have possibly been selected for during the domestication of dogs. My work will allow the assessment of its differential role in the intraspecific social interactions in dogs and wolves, and also in interspecific social interactions with humans.

|Bite sized cheese cookies, made with shredded cheese, flour, Cajun seasoning and Rice Krispies cereal.
Spicy Cheese BitesSome folks call these, cheese cookies, but whatever you call them, they are a great make-ahead appetizer munchie for game day or any party or gathering. This recipe makes a large batch but can easily be halved. Sort of like the flavor of a cheese straw, another very popular Christmas appetizer, but with an unexpected crunch from Rice Krispies cereal that'll have folks wondering what it is. You can also use well crushed regular corn flakes too if that's what you happen to have in the house.
Without the cayenne these have a sort of delayed, but fairly mild kick. If you want spicy hot, definitely add the cayenne or Cajun seasoning and adjust that to taste, because that really bumps up the heat. For a party though, you might want to lean on the milder side.
Nothing could be easier than this to throw together either - just make sure that you make enough because they WILL go fast, and that's not counting the ones you'll be popping in your mouth, which you will! The first batch of these I did by hand, the second I dumped it all in the KitchenAid. If you don't want to break out the mixer it works fine by hand, but I gotta say the mixer makes a much easier job of it if you don't happen to need (or want) the upper body workout! I made two trays at a time and just switched the sheets around halfway.
Here's how to make them.
Using a mixer, cream two sticks of butter, with a few dashes of hot sauce, until well blended.
Add the cheese - I used a combination of swiss and cheddar here - but use your favorites. Any cheddar alone is also excellent. Add that to the butter mixture.
Sift together the flour, Cajun seasoning or cayenne pepper, if using. Add the cereal to the flour mixture and stir. I prefer Rice Krispies, but I used regular, unsweetened cornflakes in this batch because I had some to use up!
Add the cereal/flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix just until well combined.
Pull off small pieces and roll them into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes. Gobble up.

Recipe: Spicy Cheese Bites©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 20 min | Yield: About 5 dozen
- 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
- Couple dashes of hot sauce
- 10 ounce block of cheese (Cheddar, Swiss, Pepper Jack, Monterey jack or any combination), shredded
- 2-1/4 cups of cake flour
- 1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or cayenne pepper, or to taste, optional
- 2-1/2 cups of Rice Krispies or crushed plain cornflake cereal
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add the hot sauce to the butter and cream with a mixer; add the cheese to the butter mixture; beat just until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour, Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper together. Add the cereal to the flour mixture and stir. Add the cereal/flour mixture to the butter mixture about 1/2 cup at a time, until combined.
Break off small pieces (about a teaspoon) and roll into a ball. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool on the sheet for a few seconds, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Makes about 4 to 5 dozen or so - depending on how small you roll them and how many you eat along the way. Recipe can also be halved.
Cook's Notes: The first time you make these I suggest keeping them on the milder side, especially if you are taking them to a party or potluck. Adjust to taste for future batches. To substitute regular flour for cake flour: 1 cup of cake flour = 1 cup of all purpose flour MINUS 2 tablespoons. Replace the 2 tablespoons of flour with cornstarch and whisk together well.

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - Two Indians, a
Palestinian and an Israeli meet in San Diego. Where else should they go,
if not to the separation fence marking the U.S. border with Mexico?
This is not one fence, but three (the third is a wall ), which run
along 700 miles of the 2,000-mile border between the two countries.
To the west, right on the ocean, near the
Mexican city of Tijuana, the two fences that stretch into the waves
appear to be quite innocent - without any kind of barbed wire, without
any lookout towers of the kind we are familiar with from the Qalandiyah
separation wall, for example. The fence in the water looks almost
overwhelmed - over time, the determined waves have uprooted some of its
ground in that area does not appear to be mutilated, wounded or
scarred, as it does in Qalqilyah, 'Aboud, Jib and Abu Dis, to mention
some of the areas which our own separation fence runs through. The
border patrol officer who appeared in a white jeep, on his own, was also
amazingly polite.
This is not always the case, said our tour
guide Roberto. Sometimes the border policemen are more aggressive, he
said, and claim it is forbidden to walk along the paths between the
dunes, to the beach - a distance of some two kilometers.
Roberto, who is completing his doctorate in
history, is an activist in the movement against the separation fence.
Since 1994, when the United States, Mexico and Canada signed the North
American Free Trade Agreement, the American authorities have stepped up
their supervision of the border. Since 2000, they have added to the
original 1994 barrier two more fences which are much more aggressive
than the parts we saw. Over the past two years, the number of police
raids on migrant workers has increased and the methods used to seek out
the non-documented have become more stringent.
Every day, over 400 people without documents
are expelled from the United States to Tijuana, according to Victor
Clark Alfaro, director of the Binational Center for Human Rights in
Tijuana and a lecturer at San Diego State University, who spoke last
week at the Binational Conference on Border Issues at San Diego City
Making corporations rich
Some 30 percent of the people deported have
worked in the United States for many years, sometimes even decades, but
were never naturalized; about one third are people who infiltrated into
the United States a short time before; and the remainder are people who
served prison terms in America and who constitute "a reserve pool of
cheap labor for organized crime," as Alfaro put it.
About one quarter of those expelled are
women. And an average of 20 children are deported every day, some
accompanied by an adult and some alone.
One aspect that motivates the activists'
position against the fence is their opposition to the NAFTA agreement
which, they say, has proven what they had warned: it has made
corporations from the three countries richer, has deprived the workers
of the legal tools to demand decent wages, and has critically harmed the
agricultural sector in Mexico.
Our Summer Campaign Is Underway
Support Common Dreams Today
Independent News and Views Putting People Over Profit
Since 1994, the number of non-documented
workers in the United States has grown. Today they number 12 million;
most from Mexico, but from other countries as well.
"What is the largest Salvadorian state in
the world? Los Angeles," said the writer and social activist David
Bacon, who also spoke at the conference.
The low wages in their countries of origin,
the rising costs of food and the damaged agricultural sector continue to
push people to risk their lives and seek work in the United States.
"They do what every one of you would do,
they look for a way to support their families," Bacon said, as images of
police raids, demonstrations and strikes were projected in the
background. "But in the United States, work has become a crime, and the
worker has become a criminal who must be deported."
The Mexicans who work in the United States,
with or without papers, provide their country with its second most
important source of revenue. Official Mexican representatives define
them as "heroes." But half of the deportees are even detained in Mexico,
for a few hours or days, because they lack proper identification.
Where the Chicanos stand
There is yet another aspect to the
opposition to the separation fence, Roberto explained. Roberto is a
Chicano, which was the name Americans gave to those of Mexican descent
living in the United States. Over time, and alongside the struggle for
civil equality, the Chicanos began to expand and deepen the meaning of
the term, adding a great deal of pride to it. Today it is used to
describe the "first peoples" who lived in Mexico and south of it, long
before the arrival of the Spanish conquerors and before the United
States vanquished California from Mexico in 1847.
Some estimate that of all U.S. states,
California has the largest population of indigenous people, including
the Chicanos. Residents of the Native American reservations in southern
California (who did not undergo a process of Hispanization, like the
Chicanos ) also have family on the other side of the border. The
aggressive separating border contradicts the way they and the Chicanos
understand and live, the distance denies their familial and social ties
and ignores their history in the western hemisphere.
At the conference, Bacon commended students
in Texas now on a hunger strike, to draw support for the Development,
Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, which was first introduced in
the Senate in 2001. The "DREAM Act" is aimed at naturalizing young
people from Latin America, especially the children of workers who lack
papers, and who have lived in the United States from a young age and
studied there or are studying there now.
Many Republicans oppose the bill, as does
the Fox network. The U.S. army, however, supports it. After all,
America's Latino population provides a fertile source of volunteers who
enlist in its ranks. Small wonder that activists who oppose America's
wars, and support migration reforms, feel trapped.

In many facilities, the breaker maintenance program consists of "replace when nuisance tripping becomes intolerable." Yet, nuisance tripping isn't the worst failure mode. It's far worse when the breaker just doesn't trip. This failure mode means you have no circuit protection.
Breakers fail in this "no trip" mode for a variety of reasons, all of which can be addressed in a way that nearly guarantees this mode will not occur. Among the causes:
- Dust accumulation.
- Grease absent, hardened, or contaminated.
- Fatigue of metal parts.
- Trip linkage is broken or out of adjustment.
- Dashpot leaked.

1. In reviewing the trial court's ruling on a summary judgment motion, an appellate court is in as good a position as the trial court to consider the record, the parties' claimed uncontroverted facts, and the legal conclusions that may flow from them. Accordingly, the appellate court's review is de novo.
2. The rights that a contracting party gives up by entering into the contract can serve as valid consideration for the contract.
3. A party to a written contract has the duty to read and obtain an explanation of its contents before signing it. If a party to a written contract is mistaken about its contents, the general rule is that in the absence of fraud, such a unilateral mistake will not excuse the duty to perform.
4. It is not the task of the courts to rewrite contracts or deny their enforcement simply to correct an improvident business decision. On appeal, it is the task of the appellate court to review the soundness of the decisions of the trial court, not the soundness of business decisions of the litigants.
Appeal from Johnson District Court; WILLIAM O. ISENHOUR, JR., judge. Opinion filed June 16, 2006. Affirmed.
Michael S. Martin, of Westwood, for appellants.
Jennifer M. Hannah and R. Scott Beeler, of Lathrop & Gage L.C., of Overland Park, for appellee.
Before McANANY, P.J., MARQUARDT and CAPLINGER, JJ.
McANANY, J.: Douglas Veach and David Francis (collectively referred to as Veach) appeal the district court's entry of summary judgment in a declaratory judgment action commenced by Midwest Land Investment Co., LLC (Midwest). We affirm.
Joel and Lynn Shafton were in bankruptcy. The assets of the estate included two parcels of real estate located in Johnson County. In November 2003, the bankruptcy trustee entered into a real estate contract for the sale of these parcels to Dan Quigley for $155,000. Quigley was a member of Midwest. Paragraph 14 of the contract provided:
"Buyer's and Seller's performance hereunder shall be contingent upon and subject to Seller's obtaining a final and nonappealable order from the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(f), authorizing Seller to consummate the sale herein described . . . . Seller shall initiate the appropriate proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to obtain said Court Order and shall prosecute said proceeding in good faith. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court issues a decision not to issue such Court Order, this contract shall be terminated . . . ."
On December 10, 2003, Quigley assigned to Veach his interest in this real estate sales contract for $10,000, the amount of earnest money Quigley paid under the contract.
The assignment, standing alone, provided Quigley with nothing more than the return of his earnest money. Therefore, and on that same day, Midwest and Veach entered into a participation agreement for development of the real estate. Under this agreement, and as additional consideration for Quigley having assigned the real estate contract to Veach, Veach agreed to give Midwest the initial opportunity to bid for a contract to provide marketing and sales services for the real estate. Further, Veach agreed to give Midwest 10% of the net profits from the ultimate sale of the real estate or $250,000, whichever is less.
A week later, on December 18, 2003, the bankruptcy trustee advised that objections to the real estate sale had been filed. He reported that there were three potential buyers for the property, all of whom had apparently entered into contracts with the trustee similar to the one entered into by Quigley. A hearing was set for the following day, December 19, and the parties were urged to attend since the trustee predicted that the court would order an immediate auction of the property among the three potential buyers and thereafter approve the highest bid.
Veach appeared at the hearing on the following day. As predicted, the court ordered an immediate auction and Veach's bid of $275,000 was the highest. The court immediately confirmed the sale.
On February 17, 2004, Veach advised Midwest that he considered the participation agreement to be void and did not intend to comply with it since Veach acquired the real estate not through the contract assigned by Quigley, but rather by being the successful bidder at the auction. Midwest responded by filing suit in the district court for a declaratory judgment declaring that the participation agreement remained a valid and enforceable agreement. When the court sustained Midwest's motion for summary judgment and upheld the validity of the participation agreement, Veach appealed.
We need not review the well known standards for summary judgment recently reiterated in State ex rel. Stovall v. Reliance Ins. Co., 278 Kan. 777, 788, 107 P.3d 1219 (2005). Since we are in as good a position as the trial court to review the record and consider the parties' claimed uncontroverted facts and the legal conclusions that may flow from them, our review is de novo. See Roy v. Young, 278 Kan. 244, 247, 93 P.3d 712 (2004). This is particularly so when, as here, there is no dispute as to the facts.
Veach claims the district court erred in finding consideration for the participation agreement. The participation agreement was entered into as an inducement for Quigley to assign to Veach the real estate sales contract. Veach argues that the existence of other sales contracts between the trustee and other prospective buyers rendered Quigley's contract worthless, and his assignment transferred nothing of value to Veach.
We are not persuaded by this argument. First, Veach knew when the parties entered into the participation agreement that the contract that was the subject of the assignment was contingent upon approval by the bankruptcy court. Second, the assignment conveyed all of Quigley's rights in the real estate contract to Veach. It was the participation agreement that induced Quigley to give up these contract rights. In exchange for the promises in the participation agreement, Veach received the right to buy the real estate for $155,000 absent a challenge to the sale in bankruptcy court. When the sale was challenged, Veach had the opportunity to bid on the property only because he succeeded to the interest of Quigley, who originally contracted to buy it. It was the promises contained in the participation agreement that induced Quigley to give up his rights in the real estate sales contract. Absent Quigley's contract and the assignment, Veach would have had no opportunity to become the successful bidder.
Veach argues that he could have bypassed Quigley entirely and dealt directly with the trustee, as other prospective buyers apparently did, to negotiate his own real estate sales contract for the property. While this may be true, this is not what Veach did. Since the assignment provided Quigley with no benefit other than the return of the earnest money he had paid, the participation agreement served as the added inducement for Quigley to forego his rights in the real estate sales contract in exchange for the benefits Midwest, his company, would enjoy. Thus, by entering into this transaction, Veach reaped the benefit of the time and effort expended by Quigley in contacting the trustee and negotiating the real estate sales contract.
By using the participation agreement to induce Quigley to assign to Veach his rights in the real estate sales contract, Veach eliminated Quigley as a competing potential buyer of the property. In arguing a lack of consideration, Veach focuses on the benefit, or lack thereof, to him. But consideration also may be based on the rights that Quigley gave up: here, the right to acquire the property if the court approved the contract, and the right to bid on the property if the court did not. See In re Estate of Shirk, 186 Kan. 311, 321-22, 350 P.2d 1 (1960). Before December 10, 2003, Quigley was a potential future owner of property in fee simple. After December 10, 2003, Quigley had no prospect of acquiring the property outright, but only the prospect that his company might share in future development profits if Veach could successfully close the transaction. There clearly was consideration to support the participation agreement.
Mutual Mistake
Veach next argues that the district court erred in granting summary judgment because the documents were not clear and unambiguous on their face and were not explained by parole evidence, which was necessary for their interpretation. Veach argues that the ambiguity arose from the lack of any provision in the documents regarding what would happen if the purchase price for the real estate increased substantially. Veach claims that the documents are silent on this issue because there was a mutual mistake that the property could be acquired for $155,000.
The contingent nature of the deal was made clear in paragraph 14 of the real estate contract. There is no evidence that Quigley was mistaken and unaware of the possibility of an auction. Veach had the duty to read and obtain an explanation of the contents of the written documents before signing them. See Albers v. Nelson, 248 Kan. 575, 578-79, 809 P.2d 1194 (1991). He could have inquired further of the bankruptcy trustee regarding the contingency of court approval. If he was mistaken about the contents of the documents, the general rule is that in the absence of fraud, such a unilateral mistake will not excuse his duty to perform. See 248 Kan. at 580. Veach makes no allegation of fraud by either Quigley or Midwest.
Finally, the documents are silent on the question of what happens if the sale cannot be consummated for $155,000, because performance under the participation agreement is not contingent on the ultimate price of the real estate. The assignment, the participation agreement, and the real estate sales contract are clear and unambiguous and do not require parole evidence.
In reality, Veach's arguments address an objection not to the existence of consideration legally sufficient to support a contract, but rather to the adequacy of the consideration to support a profitable business transaction. It is not the task of the courts to rewrite contracts or deny their enforcement simply to correct an improvident business decision.
Veach acquired rights to the real estate sales contract by giving up a portion of the future profits he anticipated from development of the property. He knew that the real estate sales contract was contingent on court approval. When approval was not forthcoming, he participated in an auction for the property which resulted in an increased acquisition cost. At the time of his bid, Veach knew of his obligation to Midwest should he be the successful bidder and should have taken that fact into account. Veach now claims, in retrospect, that his obligation to Midwest under the participation agreement undercuts the profitability of the transaction. In other words, he either gave up too much in the participation agreement or made too high a bid in the auction for the property. Our task is to review the soundness of decisions of trial courts, not the soundness of business decisions of litigants. That review leads us to conclude that the district court did not err in granting summary judgment in favor of Midwest.

Haters gonna hate...A new, highly negative article on Motley Fool
Haters gonna hate...A new, highly negative article on Motley Fool
Interesting. Either a stunning lack of research or outright lies.
What's ironic is that, at the bottom of the article is this statment:
The Motley Fool owns shares of Ford and Tesla Motors. Motley Fool newsletter services recommend Ford and Tesla Motors.
i commented on the post that if journalist required a license, this guy's should be revoked. Furtheremore, TM should consider a lawsuit for slander or something. Not a lawyer.
I think the article was removed, I'm getting a 404
Ha! Funny, I've rarely seen articles so outrageous that they actually got pulled. But this one was a good candidate.
I had a good laugh about it this morning. Normally I comment, but it was so unbelievably bad I didn't know where to start. It was easier to point out which facts he had correct than incorrect. Since they deleted it, text reproduced here, typos and all:
Tesla Motors in Trouble (and You're Footing the Bill)
By John McKenna - October 9, 2012 | Tickers: F,TSLA, TM
John is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinions of our bloggers and are not formally edited.
A once vaunted car manufacturer of the future has hit yet another snag recently. Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA), a car company that could've been the General Motors of Silicon Valley, has had to halt production of its vehicles, and sell 5 million shares to raise much needed revenue, sending the share price down 10% in value, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The new car Tesla was rolling out prior to the announcement, the Model S Electric Sedan, is running "between four and five weeks" behind schedule due to a lack of available capital, according to company sources. Even though they recieved (sic) a $465 million loan from the US Energy Department, the big share sale was necessary to keep capital coming in at a steady enough rate to keep the assembly lines rolling and to assure the US government the loans aren't going to a dying company.
Tesla has been slow to get off the ground since its founding in 2003. Its first car, the $109,000 Roadster, didn't meet sales expectations, mostly due to its high price, long waiting lines, and general poor performance. The Model S would be Tesla's second car, at a minimum price of $50,000 after a federal tax credit, but production has slowed due to business restructuring.
This year, Tesla and other green US car makers have been beset by problems, and the only thing keeping them afloat seems to be a combination of stock shares and bailout money. Fisker Automotive had its government subsidies suspended due to falling behind production deadlines for its mid-size sedan. The Anaheim, California based company received a $529 million award from the Department of Energy, according to the Wall Street Journal. Tesla is the most notable crisis because of the high expectations the company had that it is still unable to deliver. Unfortunately for the American taxpayer, the only thing keeping the businesses open seems to be Energy Department loans and stock shares.
At least Europe and Japan are still cranking out cars that work from companies that are actually profitable.Ford (NYSE: F) has just rolled out the new Fiesta, and it's received critical acclaim in the US and Europe, and at $14,000, it's a safer buy for the environmentally conscious family. Toyota Motors (NYSE: TM) continues to be an industry leader with its Prius, which ever since it came out has become synonymous with the green car movement. At a slightly higher $24,000 for the standard unit, its not cheap, but Toyota's name recognition gives it an advantage in the US marketplace.
All together, two-car Tesla is in trouble, and the Federal government may soon have to figure out whether or not the loans it's giving to them and Fisker are a worthy investment, or just buying time.
jmckenna15 has no positions in the stocks mentioned above. The Motley Fool owns shares of Ford and Tesla Motors. Motley Fool newsletter services recommend Ford and Tesla Motors.
I think they had this article planned for April 1st and posted it accidentally.
I think everyone is too deep in the detail. This is much bigger in scope. It is all about the election and nothing to do with Tesla. You are seeing it every where.
Ooooh, another conspiracy theory!
Do you think they're watching us... right... now...?
Here's another one by John boy
Electric cars are now toxic. Apparently Liions are the same as NMH, and other assorted drivel.
Oddly, not only did they pull the toxic article, but now that the stock took a dive, Motley posted an article about how "misunderstood" Tesla is.
Actually a reprint from Alpha! http://seekingalpha.com/article/907751-why-tesla-has-it-right-and-gm-for...
How about this one on Motley Fool - from yesterday. v. different story, and also some strange conclusions: http://beta.fool.com/txinvestor82/2012/10/08/does-tesla-motors-have-comp...
Elon's blog post addressed the misconceptions presented here. And, if I had to believe some barely literate "Fool" or the guy sending actual rockets to the actual space station...well...let's just say I'm not getting out of line for my Model S.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A game two comeback from MIT came up short, as the Cardinal and Gray dropped a pair of games to visiting UMass-Boston in non-conference softball action on Tuesday afternoon at Briggs Field. The two teams combined for 28 hits and 15 runs in the second game but the Engineers were unable to capitalize on a bases-loaded, two-out situation in the bottom of the sixth, falling, 9-6 to the Beacons to fall to 3-12 overall. UMass-Boston (10-7) took the opener, 6-1, behind seven solid innings by freshman pitcher Michelle Zullo (Everett, Mass.).
Trailing, 9-4, entering the home half of the sixth, Tech loaded the bases thanks to a leadoff single by senior Katie Harrington (Lexington, Ky.) and back-to-back walks. A third walk, drawn by freshman Karly McLaughlin (Edwarsville, Ill.) would plate Harrington, and junior Emily Creedon (Stoneham, Mass.) drove in another run with a two-out single. Creedon represented the tying run at first base but Zullo, who came on in relief, ended the threat with a strikeout of freshman Kelly Wang (La Canada, Calif.). Harrington reached with another base-hit in the seventh but was retired on a fielder's choice and the game ended on junior Anna Christensen's (Vernon Hills, Ill.) strikeout.
The Beacons built an early, 4-0 lead in the second inning, thanks to Sue Killilea's (Abington, Mass.) bases clearing triple. Tech responded in the bottom of the second with three runs on five hits, aided by three illegal pitches called on UMass-Boston starter, Kara Willis (Burrillville, R.I.), who would bounce back to earn her 10th win of the season.
UMass extended its lead in the fourth inning, loading the bases on a pair of singles and a fielder's choice. Amanda Perry (Worcester, Mass.) drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly before Samantha Hemstock (Northford, Conn.) plated two more with an RBI single to right. Hemstock picked up another RBI with a double in the top of the sixth to push the visitor's lead to five runs.
Willis worked four innings, allowing four earned runs on nine hits and two walks for her 10th win. MIT freshman Ellie Fodor (Trenton, Mich.) took the loss, giving up eight runs in four innings while striking out three.
The teams were even through the first five innings of game one, before the Beacons broke things open with five unanswered runs over the final two frames to start off its sweep of the non-conference series.
Killilea's triple was responsible for the first UMass-Boston run in the third. The Cardinal and Gray would score a run of its own in the home half, as senior Nydia Ruleman (Germantown, Tenn.) hit a one-out single, was sacrificed over to second and came home on a base-hit by freshman Jordan Downey (Fairfax, Calif.).
With the score tied at one entering the sixth, UMass-Boston took advantage of some MIT miscues to regain the lead. Lauren Perra (Taunton, Mass.) singled and moved into scoring position on a wild pitch. Perra then stole third as Lisa Polsonetti (Revere, Mass.) drew a one-out walk. Perra came home on a double-steal that also saw Polsonetti advance to third on an MIT error. Hemstock then picked up one of her four RBI's with a sacrifice fly.
The visitors tacked on four more in the seventh, capped by Perry's three-run homerun, to take game one, 6-1.
Hemstock led the way for the Beacons, going 5-for-7 with four runs batted in and scoring twice. Killilea also drove in four and had a pair of triples.
Tech will return to New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play on Friday, April 6, traveling to Wheaton College for a doubleheader beginning at 3:00 p.m. UMass-Boston will host Suffolk University on Thursday, April 5 for a single game at 3:00 p.m.

Oregon coach Chip Kelly isn't going anywhere. The Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns, meanwhile, are back at square one.
Coaching search tracker
Gregg Rosenthal provides a one-stop shop for all the latest head-coaching search news. Who are teams targeting? More ...
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport confirmed Sunday night that Kelly will stay in college after the coach dined for the better part of the weekend with both NFL teams. The French-like length of Kelly's meals indicated he was serious about coming to the NFL this time, but ultimately he didn't find what he was seeking.
It's a huge setback for both organizations, no matter how they spin it. (And they've already started.) The Browns landed in Arizona and spent valuable time zeroing in on their No. 1 target. Meanwhile, their No. 2 target, Doug Marrone, became the new head coach of the Buffalo Bills.
The Eagles also were interested in Marrone, and both teams met with Penn State coach Bill O'Brien. O'Brien is staying at his job.
The Eagles wanted an offensive mind to re-energize the franchise, and they focused on college coaches. They don't have a clear favorite for the job now. They've interviewed Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan, Falcons special-teams coordinator Keith Armstrong and Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley and Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden also are on the Eagles' list.
|Take a look at the coaches and GMs who have been relieved of their duties following the 2012 regular season.
In short: The Eagles are on to their second tier of candidates. They hope to find someone who wows them.
The Browns are in a similar position. They've met with Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton and former Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt, but they don't have a clear leader in the clubhouse. They're expected to open up their search.
Only Kelly knows why he stayed at Oregon. It might have been the money, but it more likely was the power (i.e. control of the roster). Whatever the reason, the Eagles and Browns wanted him badly. Their actions said it all. They swung and missed.
One week after the end of a painful regular season, the Eagles and Browns lost again Sunday.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

What Can You Do?
Planet Bluegrass is committed to producing the finest musical experiences in exquisite natural venues in the most sustainable manner possible. There are a lot of simple ways we can all reduce our impact on Telluride's and Lyons' fragile ecosystems.
- REUSE. Bring reusable items such as coffee mugs, water bottles and plastic cups for beverages.
- REUSE. Bring your own personal eating utensils.
- REUSE. Bring your own grocery bag when you buy groceries and festival goodies.
- REUSE your vintage KOTO beer cups at the Festival and bring them home with you after the Festival. If you can't, please dispose of them only in the specially marked containers at the KOTO beer booth and customs gate or give to someone who will enjoy them.
- CARPOOL. Not only will you reduce carbon emissions; you will save money and have more fun too!
- BICYCLE. Zero emissions, great exercise, and the perfect way to get around the town of Telluride as well as take jaunts into the surrounding mountains. Check out Bluegrass By Bike (or the discussion on the Festivarian Forum) as a way to attend Planet Bluegrass festivals on your bike or the bicycle journey of Ty and Brett from Canada to Mexico via Telluride Bluegrass.
- PACK IT OUT. Take your recycling home when you leave so that we can reduce the number of truck trips to the recycling center.
- REDUCE. If you're staying in a hotel or condo, let them know that you don't need to have your towels and sheets washed daily.
- VISIT THE WASTE STATION. Use the compost, recycling and waste bins in the festival and campgrounds. Please ask our volunteers if you're not sure, so compost and recycling is not contaminated. At Rocky Grass and Folks Fest the following can be composted and recycled. With your help we can achieve our goal of less waste to the landfill and more waste being composted and recycled.
-All Food Waste
meat, dairy, eggshells, bones, fruits, vegetables, rice, beans, pasta

Leave-No-Trace Campers Guide
- Minimize the amount of packaging; avoid buying over-packaged goods and individual portion packs
- Buy durable products, returnable bottles and containers that can be re-filled
- Look out for recycled goods and those packaged in recycled materials
"Between the renewable energy use and the composting of corn-based utensils, I felt like last year's festival was not only music-tastic, but also eco-lightful."Cut down on packaging by buying your fruit and vegetables loose
- Buy fair-trade and organic food, drinks and products at stalls if possible
- Use re-sealable containers to keep your food fresh (this reduces the amount of plastic film and aluminum foil you throw away)
- Use rechargeable batteries
- Recycle what you cannot reuse
- Car share or use public transport
- Turn off taps & showers when finished
- Live by the 'LEAVE NO TRACE' philosophy

Do you have a child that is as crazed over Minecraft as much as my girls are? My daughter, Maisy, just turned 8 and absolutely had to have a Minecraft theme to her party. I was thrilled to be able to find these free printable invitations to send out to the guests.
One thing we absolutely had to have was a Minecraft sword to give as party favors to our guests. I found this fabulous printable over at All for the Boys to help us with that. She's got several different versions of the sword ready to print along with easy-to-follow instructions. We used Mod Podge to adhere the printables to a foam board and were able to craft 14 of these fun blocky swords for the guests. They were a major hit.
One minor adjustment I did make to the sword after making the first 3 for my girls and having them play with them, was to reinforce it by adding jumbo craft sticks to the back side before adding the covering. I just used strong packing tape before adhering the final image to the back of the sword. I think a paint stick would also work nicely, but I had these craft sticks on hand already.
The raised area was slightly detectable, but made the sword much more durable.
Of course the party wouldn't be complete without a creeper cake. I found this simple idea here. I loved everything about this cake - the shape was a 9X13 rectangle and the decoration on the cupcakes was rather plain and simple. Before I added the frosting to the cake, I took a knife and lightly scored a grid into the cake so I could keep track of the squares easily by doing one shade of the green at a time. Maisy loved it, as did all the party guests.
Usually I do my kids' birthday parties at home and we do all the traditional party games and a craft, but this time I went for an uncomplicated and less stressful party and we headed to a trampoline park. I didn't have to worry about games and things to keep the guests entertained, but I have collected a bunch of ideas for going the route over on my Pinterest board.

More details about Nokia's upcoming Tube phone have surfaced, days after its existence leaked out at a developer conference.
Nokia's apparent answer to the iPhone will arrive in the second half of this year, according to Symbian Freak. A Nokia spokesman confirmed the timing to Computerworld but didn't offer any further details other than the obvious notion that the "Tube" will use Symbian's S60 operating system. Nokia owns a large stake in Symbian.
According to Symbian Freak, the Tube (real name TBD) will come with 3G, Wi-Fi, and GPS chips and use a screen sized between 3 inches and 3.5 inches. The site's report compared the size of the Tube to a Nokia N73, but perhaps a bit wider. There's a built-in camera that can also support geotagging of photos taken with the camera, the report says.
The iPhone will probably be available in a 3G version by the time the Tube makes an appearance. It's not totally clear what type of touch-screen interface Nokia will be using for this phone. The report says that the Tube won't use "multitouch," but will have "tactility feedback."

answer: working my new job.
Where you been?
What's that?
answer: early childhood specialist, a.k.a. preschool teacher at Nooksack Elementary (neighbor to Sumas).
What do you do? Team teach a group of head start (government funded group) in the mornings with a head start teacher, and teach my own group of 10 preschoolers in the afternoons.
Are you overwhelmed? Well, I'm going on my first home visit to go over 13, yes that's right, 13 forms with parents of one my preschoolers. I just learned about the forms yesterday, so it's a little fast.
Are you excited? Very. Not only is the job better pay, it is full time, full benefits including retirement, and I get to work with some preschoolers in Spanish (something I have been super interested in since last spring).
How was your guys trip to Mexico? Incredible. It will require several of its own posts.
We outta here!
Time to build us a house, e-speak-a some spanish, and learn from some Great Mexican people.
Don't expect to hear from us for a week or two. We out.
Sunday afternoon is the beginning of "Mexico Missions Trip 2008."
We are having the whole team over for dinner and then departing for Seattle. Sunday evening, the whole team is staying at Bjørn's parents' church in Port Orchard. Fly out Sunday morning. Mexico 2008 from Monday to the following Tuesday evening.
Wednesday morning head up to San Diego to surf, water ski, boogie board, etc. as a team fun day. Thursday morning, the team departs and Bjørn and I start our Anniversary trip. Sunday morning: fly out of San Diego to Seattle, drive home.
The next week: move out of our house, maybe start a new job that Wednesday (with the school district). I do have an interview with Lynden School District tomorrow - career center counselor/secretary. Ya never know.

Herb garden meet the world wide web
World wide web, meet my herb garden.
Lots of mint, 2 chives & a little thyme
my blooming tomato bushes and 3 different types of OreganoIt's taken almost 5 weeks for my garden to take off, but now not only do I have all these lovely herbs pictured above, I have lemon basil, regular basil, Rosemary, and a little cilantro.
As many of you know, Bjørn and I are moving out at the end of August and back to the Eide Compound (where 2 of Bjørn's aunts and uncles already live), into Bjørn's grandparents' old house- still in Lynden. Thus, it makes me sad that we are leaving our healthy herb garden soon. Maybe I could transplant 1 or 2? Or at least pick a lot the day before we move out. At least now, I know I can garden a little! I was definitely doubting myself for about a month there.

We know how to celebrate
For our one year anniversary, Bijørno and I went out to dinner and dessert at Arms Reach Bistro in Deep Cove, BC, where Bjørn had proposed to me me 1 1/2 years ago. It was much more fun to be there in good weather (compared to January) and healthy (compared to having mono).

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
I bought this for my niece she looked adorable in it but 10 minutes into dance class the tutu part of dress ripped away from zebra tank it was so embarrassing for a 4 year old I would not recommend it
Age: 40-49
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
I sent this little outfit along with the bow for her hair to my boyfriends little granddaughter and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it and she looked just precious!!
My daughter had a fit over this outfit. It is a little loud for my taste, but she loves it! We used it all through last season and hope to use it again this year.
Age: 22-29
Adorable dress but simply to tight for my very petite daughter.
I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old for her sisters graduation party. Her older sister (6 1/2) already had one like it.. we had a huge party with a DJ and once she put it on, my shy little girl turned into the belle of the ball!! She loved the outfit, everyone went nuts over how cute both the girls looked.. I would recommend this outfit to anyone.. it was an awesome buy and very durable, she wore it for 4 hours straight and danced the whole time.. so glad I looked at this site for the outfit. We also bought the bow to go with:)
This is the cutest dress ever !!! My 4 year old has worn it constantly since it arrived ! I ordered another for her best friend.
I got these for my preschool dancers. The parents LOVE them. The skirt and the top are attached which makes them run small/short. Order One size Up from what your dancer usually wears. I pair these with matching bow item C28230 (they come in random styles, but all zebra & pink)
These look great with either zebra or black spank shorts under.
They also come on a cute hanger with a plastic garment bag which makes me look so professional :-)
Is the attached tank a full leotard, or do dance briefs need to be worn underneath?
This item does not have an attached leotard nor an attached brief.- DDS Customer Service (03/06/2015)
Sign in before answering this dancer's questions.
Was this Q & A helpful to you? YES (
I am looking to dress a 12 y.o and a 10 y.o thanks
This costume only comes in child sizes.- DDS Customer Service (04/22/2013)
We're sorry this item is temporarily out of stock. Would you like to order it anyway?

There is a new pest in town: the kudzu bug. Megacopta cribraria, commonly referred to as the kudzu bug, was first discovered on kudzu in the vicinity of Atlanta, Ga., during the fall of 2009. Unfortunately kudzu is not the only plant it has on its diet. It quickly moved across Georgia and South Carolina, causing extensive soybean damage.
In 2011, it was found in North Carolina, Alabama and Virginia, and by 2012 is being found in at least two more states—Florida and Tennessee.
