Is it "The New iPad?" "iPad HD?" "iPad 3?" Who cares? All we know is this: It's here!
Join us for the iPad 3 4G teardown. Follow iFixit on twitter for the latest up-to-date news.
Luke flew to the Telstra store in Melbourne, Australia and was first in line to get the iPad 3 for our deconstructive pleasure.
A big thanks to Macfixit Australia for letting us use their facility for the teardown!
Tech Specs:
Dual-core Apple A5X processor
9.7 inch LCD, backlit in-plane switching LED with 2048×1536 pixel Retina display
Quad-core graphics processor
16, 32, or 64 GB flash memory
5 MP HD rear-facing camera
It's go time! What does an iFixit teardown expert need to dismember the newest iPad at midnight on the other side of the world?
Answer: A Pro Tech Toolkit, some good ol' Red Bull, and—of course—the iPad 3.
Despite our office being in the United States, and the iPad 3 being debuted in Australia, we are fairly confident that it will still work.
If you want to follow along on your own iPad, our native iOS app is a great way to go.
dose it take so long or wht do I need tools + Red Bull?? or ist the Red Bull for the F-1 race this weekend???
We spoke too soon. It appears that 4G LTE on the iPad 3 does not actually work in the land of Oz.
Uh-oh, which iPad is this? iPad 2 3G? iPad 3 4G? iPad N (N+1)G?
Luckily for everybody, the model number is unique, unlike some of Apple's other products. The model number is A1430.
The lack of LTE compatibility in Australia is due to the historical set of frequencies that the carriers (mainly, Telstra) are using here for it. It's well known to anyone who pays attention to these things in Australia. It's interesting they ship the same model though.
So this is what the rear panel of a new "new iPad" looks like. Do you know what it sort of reminds us of?
The 5 MP iSight rear-facing camera boasts autofocus, face detection, 1080p HD video recording, and video stabilization. Definitely a great improvement over last year's weak 0.7 MP rear-facing camera.
The 2048×1536 pixel Retina display doesn't do much to amaze us once we turn the iPad off, but we didn't fly halfway across the world just to play Punch a Hipster.
Some heat, guitar picks, and a plastic opening tool make
quickarduous work of removingbudging the front panel.
What temperature did you have to take the heat gun up to to make the adhesive come loose?
Just like its predecessor, the new iPad is very difficult to disassemble. Adhesive secures the glass to the case, making common repairs and battery replacement difficult.
Apple is estimated to ship 1 million units on launch day, and the environmental impact of this unfortunate design choice will be significant.
We've written extensively about the problems with Apple's difficult-to-repair iPad design over on iFixit.org:
A heavy-duty display should only be removed with heavy-duty suction cups.
The first legitimately-purchased, legitimately-owned iPad 3 is now also the first legitimately-opened iPad ... in the world.
Apparently, the new iPad has a face, and it's not happy. Look familiar?
And now, a message from our sponsor: us!
We don't just make awesome teardowns—we sell parts. And tools! Lots and lots of tools.
Like this handy-dandy electronics tool kit that we used to take apart the new iPad. You know you want one. It'll pay for itself the first time you use it!
We sell Mac parts & upgrades, parts for iPhone screen repair, kits for fixing the infamous Xbox Red Ring of Death, and tons more.
We need your support to continue building the free repair manual for everything in the world.
Well, this display is screwed...to the case. Luckily, we have a BS degree in removing screws, so this poses no challenge.
Rather than enjoy the 264 pixels per inch on this brand new device, we opt to remove the acclaimed display. Why? Because we're iFixit, and that's how we roll.
As we lift the LCD, we hear the cries of 3,145,728 pixels being dislodged from their homes inside the iPad 3.
After you removed the screen, you should've had a photo of the guts sitting inside before removal.
It's time to
cutspudge the umbilical cord on the display and touchscreen.
As we mentioned in our sneak-peek video, the display connectors in the iPad 2 and iPad 3 are different, meaning the two displays are incompatible...for now.
The model numbers on the back of the 9.7 inch LCD lead us to believe this is a Samsung LCD.
Beside the numbers we find three mysterious matrix barcodes. They allure the teardown expert, a dubious distraction indeed. What do they do? Our best guess: crash your iPhone or turn it into an iPad...scan at your own risk.
Are you guys going to disassemble the screen? I'm very curious about wether or not two LED backlights are being used to pump enough light through the Retina display.
The "remorsphere" was always mentioning that getting enough backlight in the iPad was one of the main challenges to overcome to integrate a Retina display.
Connectors and screws, connectors and screws, to secure a logic board, that's what you use!
We might not be very good at writing poetry, but with spudger and screwdriver in hand, we are masters of our craft.
Come now, iPad. Let go of your logic board, please.
Thank you Siri... Siri? Are you there? (silence)
The logic board is out!
Using some leftover pixie dust from our iPhone 4S teardown, we will remove the EMI Shields to fly off so we can take a peek at the logic board.
Chips, Chips, Chips. Here's some of the salsa on the non-A5X side of the logic board:
Texas Instruments CD3240 driver device
Broadcom BCM4330 802.11a/b/g/n MAC/baseband/radio with integrated Bluetooth 4.0+HS and FM transceiver
2 x 4Gb Elpida LP DDR2 = 1 GB DRAM in separate packages in a 64-bit configuration
Fairchild FDMC 6683
Broadcom BCM5973 I/O controller
Broadcom BCM5974 microprocessor
Apple 338S0987 (Cirrus Logic audio codec)
Based on the specs (http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireles...) the WiFi chipset is capable of 5 Ghz 'N'. Can anyone confirm if that's the case? Previous iOS devices are all 2.4 Ghz only
The original iPad and iPad 2 are also capable of 5GHz WiFi.
FM transceiver? Is this being utilized by something not obvious? Or is this just an artifact of an off-the shelf chip. It would be amazing if developers could write FM transmitter apps (for broadcasting to a car stereo like external devices can do). Or maybe receive FM transmissions and use a 'Radio Tuner' app.
If I'm making it out right, the Elpida RAM has a -8D marking making it LPDDR2-800. That means RAM speed/bandwidth is unchanged from the Apple A5 which is disappointing considering the greater need to feed the GPU.
As per this data sheet (http://omapworld.com/4430_8Gb__DDR_PoP_1...), each SDRAM chip has two 32-bit data channels, meaning that there is actually twice as much bandwidth as the iPad 2 / A5!
Two chips, each with two 32-bit interfaces means the A5X has a 128-bit wide interface (backed up by the UBM die floorplan analysis). At 800MT/s (on a 400MHz clock), that corresponds to 12.8GB/s!
We've got one more message from our vainglorious sponsor.
We also make software for teaching people to do things. Dozuki makes it easy to create vibrant how-to manuals.
Dozuki is great for:
Standardized work instructions: improve quality by documenting how to get things done, one step at a time.
Building product support sites: make your customers love you by teaching them how to do amazing things.
Training and e-learning software: we've used Dozuki to teach over ten million people to repair electronics.
Online community platform: build a knowledge base of expert knowledge with Answers, the Q&A engine that drives the popular iFixit Answers.
Lots more: Dozuki shines in any situation where you need to harness the knowledge of experts to teach people to do things in the real world.
...and here's some more salsa on the other end of the non-A5X side:
Qualcomm PM8028 Power Management IC
Qualcomm RTR8600 multi-band/mode RF transceiver for 3G and 4GLTE bands
Toshiba Y0A0000 Memory MCP
Triquint TQM7M5013 quad-band linear power amplifier module
Avago A5904
Skyworks SKY77468-17 front-end module
Some crafty spudgering reveals the A5X processor in all its glory.
Like the A5, the A5X system features a 1 GHz dual-core CPU. The upgrade that earns it an 'X' is the new GPU, which Apple claims outperforms even Nvidia's Tegra 3 processor.
This particular chip was manufactured in the first week of 2012. Maybe our iPad marks the start of the end of the world.
an extra 0.2 GHz? So it's a 1.2 GHz A5? I thought it wasn't supposed to have changed.
Jerry Ross - 返信
Sorry, still stuck on the 0.2 GHz here... the Geekbench scores from Tinhte showed a 1 GHz A5 chip. Can anybody confirm or deny this??
Jerry Ross - 返信
An entirely-new side of the logic board:
Apple A5X processor
Apple 343S0561 - This IC looks like an updated version of the 343S052 that we found in the iPad 2, and is used for power management.
The NAND, part number THGVX1G7D2GLA08 is a 16 GB 24 nm MLC Flash from Toshiba
Qualcomm MDM9600 - 3G and 4G wireless modem
Skyworks 77469
Avago A7792
A big and hearty thanks to Chipworks for helping us ID these chips!
So here's a bonus for all of you: the A5X cover removed.
Underneath the cover we find the A5X processor flip chip mounted onto the carrier PWB.
It's a safe bet that the A5X cover is a heat sink for the CPU, given there's thermal paste underneath and a thermal pad on top of the cover.
The A5X measures 12.82 mm x 12.71 mm (162 mm^2) which is 36% larger than the A5.
Could you compare the sizes of the A5 vs. the exposed A5X die? If the A5X is bigger, that would seem to indicate Apple stayed on the same Samsung 45nm process and didn't go 32nm.
As is the case with most tablets, the iPad 3 is really just a giant battery.
Some help from our spudger allows us to remove the battery from the device for further inspection.
While the iPad 2 housed a formidable 25 watt-hour Li-ion battery, the iPad 3 has upped the ante to the tune of 42.5 watt-hours.
Its 3.7 volts and estimated 10 hours of use (9 with cellular data network) are comparable to that of the iPad 2, but we assume the extra 17.5 watt-hours are put to good use powering the extra RAM and greatly improved GPU.
The battery has three cells, each approximately 12.5 cm x 6.5 cm x 4 mm. The iPad 2's battery cells were 10.8 cm x 6.3 cm x 2.7mm.
Each separate cell lists its rating of 3.78 volts and 14.60 watt-hour. They're graced with some more matrix barcode tags and wonderful inscriptions that read 741-0065-A P11GG9-01-F01TS. Swoon.
Chris Foresman at Ars Technica compared the energy density to the battery in the iPad 2, and it comes out about the same—around 0.0014 watt-hour / mm^3.
Apple physically increased the size of each cell by about 70%, explaining the big jump from 25 to 42 watt-hours.
Apple claims the new iPad is environmentally friendly with a "Recyclable aluminum and glass enclosure." The materials may be recyclable, but the assembled unit is not. We spoke yesterday with Steve Skurnac, president of SIMS Recycling Solutions—one of the largest electronics recyclers in the world. He told us, "Sealed units make it difficult to remove the batteries. From a recycler's point of view, the hazardous components [like batteries] need to be easily separated or removed."
As we progress through the teardown, what remains is just the carcass of a once mighty iPad.
Being the vultures that we are, let's continue picking away at the remains of this aluminum beast...first on our list is the dock connector.
The dock connector seems to have the same pin layout as the iPad 2, we have yet to determine whether or not the dock connectors are swappable.
Pesky, finicky screws! Be gone and let us remove the antenna in peace.
Get out of the way, ribbon cable! Let us get a look at that micro-SIM card slot.
Like the other iPads with micro-SIM cards, the iPad 3 4G has a user-accessible micro-SIM card slot that can be ejected with the help of a handy SIM card eject tool.
Obviously the main chassis is still aluminium but is there any sign of any liquid metal parts anywhere?
The headphone jack and one of the many wireless antennas come out as a single unit. Bummer.
Well hello there! Fancy to meet you here iSight camera.
You have what specs? Oh, a 5 element lens, an IR filter, and auto exposure. Stop it iSight, you're making us blush...
UPDATE: Chipworks found out that the primary camera is indeed the same image sensor Apple used on the iPhone 4: Omnivision OV5650, 1.75 um pixel pitch, 5 MP back illuminated CMOS Image Sensor.
The secondary image sensor is also an Omnivision, the OV297AA. 0.3 Mp, 3.0 um pixel pitch CMOS Image Sensor
Is there any indication of the 5MP camera module sensor being the Omnivision OV5690 ?

Pulling out other fine parts, such as the front-facing camera and antenna.
Whether you're video chatting or fixing your hair, the front-facing camera is sure to meet all of your low resolution photography and video needs.
Do you plan to take apart the front-facing camera? I'd very much like to know who is making the 5 megapixel sensor.
Thanks. Jim
What an array of buttons and switches! This truly is a sight to see. Buttons of all kinds. Switches of all types. So many!
The speaker assembly is the next victim on our list. Farewell speakers!
iPad 3 Repairability Score: 2 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)
The LCD is easy to remove once the front panel is gone.
The battery is not soldered to the logic board, making the replacement process a tad less difficult.
Just like the iPad 2, the front panel is glued to the rest of the device, greatly increasing the chances of cracking the glass when trying to remove it.
Gobs, gobs, and gobs of adhesive hold down everything in place, including the prone-to-start-a-fire-if-punctured battery.
The LCD has foam sticky tape adhering it to the front panel, increasing chances of the front panel being shattered during disassembly
You can't access the front panel's connector until you remove the LCD.
The new battery has 3 cells, each about 12.5 cm x 6.5 cm x 4 mm.
Can you weigh the entire battery as well?
We don't have a scale in Australia; we'll weigh it tomorrow once we get one in California.
The revised three-cell design appears to be just slightly larger than the battery in the iPad 2—each measures about 125 x 65 x 4 mm, according to iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens. The cells in the iPad 2 measure 108 x 63 x 2.7mm, so the iPad 3 battery is actually about 70 percent larger.
Did the cover sensor for the magnets change? A third party case maker was claiming that they moved it so some third party cases might not turn the iPad off without modifications for the new location.
Re step 15 and 22.
Apple 338S0987 (Cirrus Logic audio codec): what can you tell us about the quality of the chip's DAC?
About the headphone jack - is this an optical out jack like those in iPods?
Anyone's input would be appreciated. Thanks!
The spectra used for LTE by Apple are currently consumed by SD-TV (700Mhz) or 3G (2100MHz) and not scheduled to be handed back for another 1-3 years which is why local carriers have had to use 1800MHz for LTE which is less popular (but hardly unique) than those other 2 spectra. Still, our 3G peaks at around 21Mbps which is good enough for virtually any use so it isn't a big deal. Apple chooses not to support 1800MHz since it is less popular than the other frequencies and they don't tend to localise devices.
Hate to burst your bubble tech men. But the a5 is actually only 800mhz dual core. Ripped off
What is the "pixel density" of the "Digitizer"? By that I mean, if I am creating a "notepad" type application using a fine-tip touch-panel pen, what kind of granurality (or clarify) am I going to draw on the LCD panel? Is the digitizer the same density as the display pixel density? I hope so!!
A couple of things I miss from the repair guided:
1) detailed screw descriptions like "1.5mm #00 Phillips screw".
2) a downloadable pdf version.
...and, as always, the photos are more than adequate in resolution and size and the text for the mobile version is well done.

Best and Worst Parents of 2012
From Tanning Mom to Pink to Jennifer Livingston: the moms and dads that made us cheer and jeer this year
- prev
- Next
- 1 of 17
Best: Pink
Pink has always had a kick-butt persona, but now she's taken it to a whole new level as a mom. From normalizing breastfeeding by sharing gorgeous Instagram pics, to fiercely asserting her right to nurse in public, to looking hotter and making better music than ever after having a baby, we raise our glass to you, Pink.
- today.com
Worst: Tanning Mom
We're not sure which was more disturbing: the fact that leather-faced Patricia Krentcil allegedly took her 5-year-old daughter with her into a tanning booth, resulting in second-degree burns, or the fact that she can look in the mirror and still think she needs more color. Krentcil later said despite her daughter's sunburn, she hadn't brought her into the tanning booth, just into the room with the tanning booth inside. She promises she has since kicked the tanning habit.
Best: Jennifer Livingston
Being called out as overweight in a viewer e-mail upset TV anchor Jennifer Livingston, but what really rankled her was being called a bad role model. So the mother of two daughters turned her embarrassing moment into a chance to encourage kids who face less public but still heartwrenching bullying every day. If that's not being a role model, we don't know what is. Read Livingston's exclusive essay for Parenting.com about why she decided to go public

Worst: Man Who Sued Over Ugly Baby
All babies are beautiful, right? One new dad in China begs to differ. In fact, he thought his newborn daughter was so hideous, he divorced and sued his wife for misrepresenting her contribution to the gene pool when he found out she'd had extensive plastic surgery. She might need sue back to pad the poor kid's therapy fund.
- YouTube
Best: Dad Who Sent Toy Train to Space
Kids are awesome for their limitless imaginations, but turns out some parents can think big too. Ron Fugelseth sent his son's favorite toy train 18 miles above the earth in a weather balloon with an HD camera strapped on to capture the ride. After the train found its way back to land, Fugelseth created a charming video with the footage, including his son's sweet reaction to getting his train back.

Worst: Mom Who Potty-Trained at a Restaurant
Hey, we get it. Unpredictable little bladders mean having a potty within reach at all times. But that doesn't mean you can take the commode with you wherever you go. One Utah mom was caught plopping her naked toddlers on the throne, right in the middle of a deli, which we imagine is a violation of food safety standards if not polite society.
- iStockphoto
Best: Mom Who Endured 75 Days of Labor
We all have our L&D battle stories, but this one takes the cake. After Joanna Krzysztonek, a mom in Poland, lost one of her triplets to pre-term birth, doctors had her lay almost completely upside down for two and a half months in order to hold off delivery the other two. Her babies, a boy and a girl, were born at 32 weeks—early but healthy.

Worst: Mom Who Gave Her Toddler Beer
Kids ask for all sorts of things—ponies, their own iPad, cupcake-flavored water—but that doesn't mean you give it to them. Arizona mom Valerie Topete thought her 2-year-old son would stop reaching for the pitcher of beer on the table at a local pizza parlor if she poured some into his sippy cup and let him get a taste. Fellow patrons, who saw what was happening, stepped in and called police after the boy fell out of his high chair, possibly intoxicated.

Best: Dad Hacks Video Game for Daughter
Mike Hoye, father to a 3-year-old daughter, didn't appreciate how video games skew so male. After he and his daughter started playing Legend of Zelda together, in which a male hero rescues his little sister, he hacked the game to create a virtual world where girls can rescue boys too.

Worst: Deadbeat Dad of 9 Ordered Not to Have More Kids
When common sense didn't dictate that Wisconsin's Corey Curtis, baby daddy to 9 kids from 6 mothers, stop getting women pregnant, the law did. As a punishment for his failure to pay child support, Curtis was ordered to keep it in his pants (or use birth control) as a condition of his probation. "It's too bad the court doesn't have the authority to sterilize," said the judge in the case.
- change.org
Best: Lesbian Mom Barred from Boy Scouts
Jennifer Tyrrell of Ohio didn't even really want to be den mother to her 7-year-old son's Boy Scout troop, but no one else stepped up. She was open with local Scout leaders about the fact that she was gay, but no one cared…until a year in, she was ousted by the national organization, which bans openly gay parents (and troops). And in a true show of character—the central quality the Boy Scouts espouse—she hand-delivered a petition with more than 300,000 signatures and had a "respectful" meeting with national headquarters. She's vowed to keep fighting.
- New York Daily News
Worst: Dad Bullies Disabled Girl With Son
How could any parent think this is okay, much less join in? Dad William Bailey of Ohio was filmed along with his son mockingly imitating the walk of his neighbor, 10-year-old Hope Holcomb, who has cerebral palsy. Although Bailey refused to comment, his wife told reporters she couldn't fathom why Hope would take it as an insult.

Best: Mom Loses Legs Saving Kids in Tornado
Knowing a tornado was coming, Indiana mom Stephanie Decker ushered her kids to the basement and shielded them with her body. The tornado passed over her home twice, ripping the roof right off her home. While covering her kids, Decker lost one leg below the knee and the foot of the other, along with other serious injuries. Her children, meanwhile, emerged without a scratch.
- istockphoto.com
Worst: Mom Hacks Kids' Grades
Why earn your marks when your mommy can just go into your school's computer system and change them? Pennsylvania mother Catherine Venusto set a seriously bad example for her kids when she used the computer password she obtained while working as school secretary to change her daughter's failing grade to a medical exception, and her son's 98 to a 99 (really?). She also logged into the system more than 100 times to snoop into the grades of other kids. She was caught and charged with computer trespass and unlawful use of a computer.
- Rick Van Beek via Facebook
Best: Dad Competes in Triathlons with Disabled Daughter
Most of us would find completing a triathlon daunting enough, but how about doing it with a child in tow? Michigan dad Rick van Beek has spent the last three years competing in races with 13-year-old daughter Madison, who has cerebral palsy and can neither walk nor talk. Why does he do it? "One of the very few things that we know she enjoys is being outside, being in the water, feeling the breeze in her hair and in her face and going over all the bumps," he says. "I am her legs and she is my heart," the dad wrote in his blog.
- Fed-Up Dad
We're not sure: Dad Who Shot Up Daughter's Laptop
After Tommy Jordon's daughter posted a whiny and disrespectful letter to her parents on Facebook, her dad decided he'd had enough. He got back by making a YouTube video response to her letter–and then shooting up her laptop. We often hear our readers lament the dying art of authoritative parenting, and we're all for taking away computer privileges as punishment. But does a teenager—who, let's face it, is not unusual in her desire to tell off her parents—deserve to be reprimanded in such a public, humiliating way?

PROGRAM GUIDELINESSolicitation 16-613
Important Information for Proposers
ATTENTION: Proposers using the Collaborators and Other Affiliations template for more than 10 senior project personnel will encounter proposal print preview issues. Please see the Collaborators and Other Affiliations Information website for updated guidance.
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 18-1), is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 29, 2018. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 18-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
DMREF is the primary program by which NSF participates in the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) for Global Competitiveness. MGI recognizes the importance of materials science and engineering to the well-being and advancement of society and aims to "deploy advanced materials at least twice as fast as possible today, at a fraction of the cost." MGI integrates materials discovery, development, property optimization, and systems design with a shared computational framework. This framework facilitates collaboration and coordination of research activities, analytical tools, experimental results, and critical evaluation in pursuit of the MGI goals. The MGI Strategic Plan highlights four sets of goals:
· Leading a culture shift in materials science research to encourage and facilitate an integrated team approach;
· Integrating experimentation, computation, and theory and equipping the materials community with advanced tools and techniques;
· Making digital data accessible; and
· Creating a world-class materials science and engineering workforce that is trained for careers in academia or industry.
Accordingly, DMREF will support activities that accelerate materials discovery and/or development by building the fundamental knowledge base needed to design and make materials with specific and desired functional properties from first principles. This will be accomplished through forming interdisciplinary teams of researchers working synergistically in a "closed loop" fashion, building a vibrant research community, leveraging Big Data science, providing ready access to materials data, and educating the future MGI workforce. Specifically, achieving this goal will involve modeling, analysis, and computational simulations, validated and verified through sample preparation, characterization, and/or device demonstration. DMREF will enable development of new data analytic tools and statistical algorithms; advanced simulations of material properties in conjunction with new device functionality; advances in predictive modeling that leverage machine learning, data mining, and sparse approximation; data infrastructure that is accessible, extensible, scalable, and sustainable; the development, maintenance, and deployment of reliable, interoperable, and reusable software for the next-generation design of materials; and new collaborative capabilities for managing large, complex, heterogeneous, distributed data supporting materials design, synthesis, and longitudinal study.
DMREF aligns with national priorities for advanced manufacturing and future industries, national defense and homeland security, information technologies and high performance computing, human health and welfare, clean energy, and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). By facilitating interdisciplinary integrative materials research, DMREF is supportive of the NSF long-range transformative agenda, "Big Ideas for Future NSF Investments".
The multidisciplinary character of this effort dictates the involvement of programs in the NSF Directorates of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Engineering, and Computer and Information Science and Engineering. Awards are expected to range from $250,000 - $400,000 per year for a duration of three or four years, thus totaling $750,000 – $1,600,000 over the award period. To cover the breadth of this endeavor, it is expected that proposed projects will be directed by a team of at least two Senior Personnel with complementary expertise.
Assuming that sufficient funding is provided in the NSF budget, it is anticipated that the DMREF program will continue through at least FY2019, with competitions biennially in odd-numbered years.

Just looking at the reunion pictures, they are great. Sorry i missed it
- Carolyn Newman Cordell, Wed, 8 May 2013 8:44PM
Just saw all the reunion pics for the first time 2/4/13 (Prob lost on my computer when sent) and they are great. Keep them on the web forever. Super job by the photog. Will send to a few friends that didnt make the reunion. Thanks. Jim Holefelder
- Jim Holefelder, Mon, 4 Feb 2013 5:35PM
It WAS hard to visit with everyone, and find everyone you wanted to see. My suggestion would have been - after the intro and the deceased classmates were announced, perhaps it wouldn't have taken too much time to read the names of the attendees, rather quickly - understood, with a raising of hand as to where each was, so if there was someone you wanted to find, you would know what area of the room and table.
- Trudi Story Hunsinger, Sun, 10 Jul 2011 5:54PM
WOW... Cleo, thanks for such an impressive array of photographs. Wish we could start all over so I could talk to each and every one of our classmates. Thank you, committee, great job. Goal for all... stay healthy for the 2016 reunion!

The Lodge Executive Committee (LEC) has approved the following registration and fees policy for all Kola Lodge events, including all induction weekends, Winter Festival, and Lodge Leadership Development (LLD) training events. It does not apply to Council or District events for which the Lodge or Chapter is merely providing planning or staff leadership.
Events Registration and Early Bird Discounts
The 2016 Registration form is here 2016 REGISTRATION FORM.
The on-time registration deadline will be noon of the tenth day prior to the event. It is the participant's responsibility to make sure the form and payment is in the Scottsbluff Scout Office by that day and time. The on-time registration deadline for each event is on the registration form.
A $10.00 early bird discount will be made available to those registering before the on-time registration deadline, but that early bird discount will cease to be available starting at 12:01 pm on the tenth day prior to the event. Anyone who does not register and pay in advance of the event will be charged an additional $10.00 administrative fee at the door and will not be allowed to attend the event unless all registration event and administrative fees are paid and the member is current in his or her lodge annual dues. If the money does not accompany the registration form, the Lodge will not consider the person registered.
Just to make this clear: if the Post Office or your District Executive (DE) delivers the form late, it is still your responsibility and your entitlement to the early bird discount will be determined by when both the registration form and the appropriate payment is received by the Scottsbluff Scout Office.
Notice: Food is generally ordered or purchased for lodge events immediately following the on-time registration date. Accordingly, anyone not registered for the event by the on-time registration date, despite having paid the full event fee, risks a situation in which there is insufficient food on hand to provide meals for those who registered after the on-time registration deadline.
- This policy supersedes the Longs Peak Council refund policy for Council and District events as it applies specifically and exclusively to events hosted by Kola Lodge, Order of the Arrow (OA). Chapters organized under Kola Lodge may adopt their own refund policies for OA events hosted by the chapter, which may adopt the Longs Peak Council refund policy; however, unless an express chapter refund policy is adopted, and notice given, this lodge policy will
- When a member or Ordeal candidate must cancel their registration for a lodge event, the full registration fee may be transferred to the registration of the same registrant for another lodge event in the same calendar year or fully refunded to that registrant provided that the cancellation is made prior to the on-time registration deadline. Refund or transfer of fee requests made after the event, or for "no shows," will not be honored. Registration fees are transferable to another eligible individual for the same event upon request. In no case will early bird discounts be refunded or transferred to, or credit given toward, a
subsequent lodge event. Entitlement to an early bird discount is determined by the established on-time registration deadline for each individual event.
- Registration fees will be transferred to the next lodge event for the same registrant, rather than refunded, unless the registrant makes a written request for refund addressed to the Lodge Senior Vice Chief of Administration, or in the case that there are no remaining lodge events scheduled in the same calendar year.
- No refunds or transfer of registration fees will be made after the end of the calendar year because that marks the end of Kola Lodge's fiscal year and closes its financial accounting for that year.

How much research is too much for your writing? How much is too little? Ron Marz brings his years of writing experience to bear on the question.
Full article here.
Well considering that the recent critiques of comics have done little research. I think I would rather have someone knowing almost everything about a character. As opposed to very little.
I think a lot of research is alright so long as the writer possesses the capability to not do an imitation, but to creatively approach it. Even with superheroes I would rather have new villains than an old villain given a sequel. Because after a while the old villains end up being placed in the same stories rather than an original situation.

CBR's LGBT Community
I like to write a preliminary story first, then research details and correct any possible errors before it's a final copy. I do this way because I also have gotten in situation where I'm doing too much research to point where I have nothing written as far as story goes.
On the one hand, I see his point about how it's more important to focus on the story you want to tell than it is to memorize a character's entire continuity (especially since that can be as much as 75 years of material if we're talking just comics). On the other hand, I can't help but feel that the "know the high points" attitude has lead to us getting at least six stories in the last thirty years where Hank Pym dealt with his guilt over striking Jan and/or creating Ultron.
I agree with you, Kit Walker.
Agree pretty much. While there are no industry standards in this regard, it's obvious to fans when the writer hasn't properly researched the character they're writing. I always loved that Marz seemed throughly acquainted with the characters he wrote.

what state is that in? Also are that quantity of pigs a really bad thing, a bad thing or a good thing? I would think it kind of cool to be able to have pork for free all the time. Do they tear up more then they are worth?
Also is living around all those pigs dangerous? There are no pigs where I live. Sometimes I like to go outside in the middle of the night and walk around, a little bit drunk. Could you do that around pigs?
I am kind of interested in pigs. Sorry for all the questions.

Well Steve..This is Texas..there are more feral pigs here than any other state....They are very destructive....They cause millions of dollars of damage to pastures and crops every year....
I have killed lots of pigs....The only time I felt threatened was by a big boar..and I had startled him(startled me too)....He was layin in a wallow and I surprised him (less than 10 yds)....I had just got off the stand....It was late....I stepped down in a slew and accidentally blocked his escape....He was ticked off til I put a 308 round in his gut....He ran thru a creek and was gone....I found him less than 100 yds away the next day....For me..they always wanna get away no matter how bad they are....I uploaded a pic of him....

Hunted in Leon county about 10 miles SE of Buffalo and saw hogs just like yours. After deer season, it was spotlight time for hogs. The hogs would tear up 40 - 60 acres of pasture each night, the rancher wasn't too happy with them.

Come on Keg... I thought Texas was BBQ country! Besides, I also heard Texas has more guns than the US Army! You guys should be having baby back ribs, bacon, and pork cops for free every meal!

Sadly, there are more pigs to kill than people are willing to eat. In the past I've had to pile them up. I could estimate that I have been able to find recipients for about 25% percent of the pigs killed.
With reports like kegs, I have a feeling that I'm fixing to get real busy.

horatioo, property damage--mostly crops--from feral hogs in Texas has been estimated at some $40 million per year. The problem is severe enough that the legislature made it legal to shoot them from helicopters.
Golfers don't like them, either.
Danger? Just walking around on open ground at night is very much likely to be quite safe. More hazard at night in summer to get too close to an unseen rattlesnake or copperhead while wearing flip-flops.

horatioo, you can walk around in my back pasture while lightly drunk, but don't fall down and go to sleep. See my thread on what ate my pig. I'd hate to see you down to just a small pile of leg bones.

Does the State help you guys in Texas with game damage? Here in Colorado if the game destroy fences or hay stacks the DOW will reimburse us.....after the fact. They do it several ways like buying the fence materials and other things. I have seen lots of ads on the net for hog hunting in TX. All I've seen want money to hunt them. Heck if I could, I would let hunters onto my property to shoot elk.....just to keep them from eating my winter pasture. DOW here says that ain't the way to manage wildlife. So I build fences and sent DOW the bill.

Yes I have seen that too. LOTS of Texas farmers and ranchers have pig problems. They seem to be begging for help. But when you contact them, they want to charge YOU to come help THEM!
If I came upon a stranded man on a back road and he had 2 flat tires, and I offered to help him, but he demanded I pay him to help him, I am sure I'd just drive away and leave him there.
Any Texan that foolish, or that greedy, should be left to the hogs and let him loose his crops and have his land damaged so badly that he can't make a living on it.
Now if they want to give up the ranching and the farming and become a "Hog Outfitter" then by all means they should do it, and I might even consider using their services, but stop with the dishonesty and the "calls for help" only to bait and switch at the point of contact. Then if they can't make a living with the new business there can be some honest competition and the system will seek it's own level.
If they can earn a living selling hog hunts, then good for them. I do not object to the practice of selling the hunts. I DO object to the dishonest practice of "Calling for help".

This is farm and ranch country here....Folks are hesitant about letting strangers on their property....Now yes..property is for lease..but mainly for deer hunting..the hogs are an added bonus to them....I lease the property to deer hunters..right across the county road from where the pics were taken....So they have the hunting rights....I encourage them to shoot all the pigs they see..but it's a hopeless task....The fact is..they just don't see em....They are out at night....U see the damage..the next mornin........They head to the thickest..most inaccessible place they can find during the day....

Yep, the deer hunters won't waste a chance at a deer by taking a shot at a hog in the off chance that they see some in the daylight.
To let a complete stranger on private land to hunt probably won't happen. A friend let two guys hunt, as soon as he left 15 of their buddies showed up and trashed the place.
Hogs frequent places inhabited by livestock. There's stuff to eat and good rooting around cow poop. So it takes a lot of trust to let someone shoot around domesticated animals. I take them from between cows on a regular basis. I am careful with my shots and what lays beyond. I will pass if I have to.
Diffy, the pigs are not game animals in Texas, so I see no help from the state. Some counties offer small bounties on tails.
They can be sold on the hoof, but it is a hassle and if they kill one another on the trip, an animal cruelty charge is possible. There have been a couple of cases of this so far.

Hogs will eat every acorn they can find and clean out under a oak tree until everything is gone leaving nothing for a deer ... Ever heard the phrase "eatin like a pig" ?
Coyotes eat the deer and fawns... How many fawns or deer ya think a coyote can eat in a year?
If you see a sow pig and let it walk by the same time next year she has dropped 5 -10 more.
Kill em all.

I'd relish the chance to add a wild hog to my deer carcass for rendering to sausage. We did it on the hog farm every year when my pappy was still alive.
We'd take our deer to the hog house and show him, then he'd mention a pig that we could take with the deer, and off we'd go!
I'm with Wyosmith it one thing to need help, and another to take it for granted!
Thanks for coming!

I would dearly love to kill as many pigs as a land owner would let me. I'm responsible, and solo. No wild shooting, and livestock are safe. No "redneck buddies". However, I have zero desire to eat them, as God only knows what diseases they may carry. I just want to pop 'em and drop 'em, and leave the carcasses for the rest of them to eat.

I'm with Wyosmith.
I dont feel a bit sorry for Texans. Screaming about the pig damage and charge you help them out. If the pigs were such a problem they wouldnt charge to hunt them. I'll be damed if I'm going to pay someone to help them fix a problem.
Night scopes and brush hunting aint no problem. Its finding a chunk of property that somebody actually wants the pigs thinned out on. I figure Texans dont really want them thinned out or else it wouldnt be so hard to find a place to hunt.

Deer hunters should wake up and realize that wild hogs are detrimental to the deer population. i've seen wild hogs chase deer away from the water holes and ponds, off the wheatfields and off the game plots.
Two of our properties are over-run with hogs. i allow a few hunters to deer hunt with the understanding they shoot wild hogs. Last November i gave a friend a time out for not shooting wild hogs when he could have done so. i can't get a permit to shoot hogs at night because i'm not a farmer: our property is for hunting.
In this area the coyotes get about one third of the fawns every year. Hogs often get a taste for fawns as well.

Even as a true blue redneck, I am leery of who I will invite or not invite to hunt with me...
Some I will not invite are rednecks some are not...
Good and bad in all groups...
But rednecks know how to get into the deepest worst points of a property where hogs spend the day and when you tear up your 4 wheeler trying to haul a shonuff big hog on front rack and another on the back rack while the rider weighs near or north of 300 pounds himself... It is the redneck that can cobble it together to get it to the trailer... sans hogs of course...

rondog, As for the diseases... God may know but he ain't the only one who does... Unless your feral swine population is hitting a local uncontrolled garbage dump, they have the potential to carry the same diseases as domestic swine... but unless they get in contact with infected domestic swine, chances are remote...
They can carry any disease domestic livestock can but deer can too as well as blue tongue and CWD...
I worry more with a hog that I find a nasty infected wound on... they get slid off the tailgate immediately...

One hog in my backyard would be a disaster.
In many cases, apparently, 100 hogs on someone's farm in Texas are not a serious enough problem to let folks come and shoot them for free......

I have to deal with them at work all the time.
In our hunting leases it states that any hunter, even turkey/duck hunters must shoot any pigs on sight.
I would hate to think what would happen if Charlie Cub Scout wandered away from his pack and came across a sow and her piglets.

Gunn Creek bridge to be replaced
School officials met last week with representatives of the Erie County highway and engineering departments and with a representative of the road construction firm in charge of replacing the bridge that crosses Gunn Creek at the intersection of East River Road, for the purpose of requesting a delay in construction until after the school year is completed in June.
Harry Hatten, interim school officer, stated that he found the county most willing to cooperate within its possible schedule. Because of contractual commitments, a delay until the closing of school was not possible, but the county officials were willing to delay the start of construction until after dismissal for the spring holiday, April 19. ...
The county expects work on the bridge to be completed in about six weeks. The target date is June 1, 1973.

Daly, Hoyt announce funding for Big Six
Sen. John B. Daly and Assemblyman William B. Hoyt announced this week that a total of $130,000 for construction and improvements at Big Six Marina has been approved in the 1983-84 state budget.
Both Daly and Hoyt said they were delighted to be able to secure the money for this project.
"The improvements and construction to be done at the Big Six Marina will make it yet another vital link in the series of launch ramps to the Niagara River, Lake Ontario and Lake Erie," Daly said. "I am hopeful that the work at the Big Six Marina will get underway as soon as possible."
Hoyt said that he was "pleased to have been able to work with Daly in getting the funding for this project," and added "bipartisan efforts such as this serve the best interests of the residents of Grand Island and our community as a whole."

Ice boom on the way out
An oversupply of ice in the lake delayed the ice boom removal until this week.
An aerial look at the situation last week still showed ice covered about 575 miles, or 29 percent of the eastern basin.
This is the 30th year the boom has been installed to lessen ice jams and maintain water flow for power production. ...
Its removal has become a harbinger of spring for Western New York, including Islanders. The earliest date was March 8, 1983, and the latest was May 14, 1971.

My wife manages an 80 unit motel in Idaho. This summer is hotter then normal so some of the window units are not keeping up. At what point do you replace them?
Do the compressors go out or do they develop leaks? I am thinking that the cheaper units may not be worth paying for much service. Am I wrong?
As a minimum the motel maintenance staff washes out the condensers and filters.

Beers and people flew throughout the venue as METZ honed in on a sound that was reminiscent of the angular dissonance of Burning Airlines and punk fury of Agent Orange. Expect to see METZ at your favorite festivals next year ensnaring a wider audience. Batwings Catwings also were on the bill with their hard-edged sound while Vinyl Williams dialed up some textural-psychedelic space jams. Check out the gallery above.

Spotlight on Hybrid
The Hybrid dress: it's the home-grown designer label that stars and stylish women everywhere are going mad for.
In the two years since the Hybrid dress hit the market, it has rapidly become one of the most sought-after garments among fashion-conscious females and celebs alike, thanks to its sleek, sophisticated and sensuous air of femininity.
Members of the TOWIE (The Only Way Is Essex) cast including Samantha Faiers, Billie Faiers, Maria Fowler, Lauren Pope and Lauren Goodger have all been photographed hitting the town in Hybrid dresses. Along with former Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett, Celebrity Big Brother housemate Nicola McClean and TV presenters including BBC Breakfast's Susanna Reid. Most recently Hollyoaks' Gemma Merna was spotted wearing a Hybrid yellow Peplum dress.
It will hopefully not come as too much of a surprise when we at Lovarni also admit our undying love for all things Hybrid.
Why? Because the Hybrid dress is perfect for every occasion, be it as evening wear for a cocktail party or red carpet affair, or something special for a night out with the girls. And because Hybrid is so eclectic in range there is sure to be something to meet all tastes.
Hybrid is celebrated for its rich and deep block colour, tasteful knee-length design and quality stretch fabric that hugs the figure in all the right places, creating a stunning silhouette. It can be compared to a Roland Mouret dress, such as the legendary pink Moon dress sported by fashion icon Victoria Beckham, except it costs a fraction of the price at £85.
In fact, its key features tally almost perfectly with the concept of the "Forever Dress" — the ideal woman's dress — as determined by a consumer survey conducted on behalf of Debenhams last month. Even better, unlike the Forever Dress, the Hybrid already exists!
Lovarni.com stocks all gorgeous designs in the current collection. This is because we enjoy a "special relationship" with the Hybrid range and know just how much our visitors love them.

SATURDAY, June 2, 2012 (HealthDay News) -- Long-term medication side effects such as fatigue can be key for patients deciding which cancer drug to take, new research suggests.
In the study, people with advanced kidney cancer preferred pazopanib (Votrient) over sunitinib (Sutent), according to a randomized controlled trial funded by the makers of pazopanib.
Although doctors may not see a big difference between the two U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs for the long-term treatment of kidney cancer that has metastasized (spread to other organs), researchers from France found that patients felt Votrient left them less fatigued and with a better quality of life, according to the study.
"While we expected patients would prefer one drug over the other, due to the known toxicity profiles, we didn't expect this great a preference," lead study author Dr. Bernard Escudier, a physician at the Institut Gustave Roussy, said in a news release. "This is an excellent method to report the way patients are feeling about the toxicity of drugs. It's an important reminder that low-grade toxicities patients experience may not seem bad, but if you are experiencing the toxicity over a long time, it has an effect on your quality of life."
Typically, reports of adverse events associated with drugs don't include how patients feel overall when they take a drug over many months, he added.
In the study, researchers randomly assigned 168 patients with metastatic kidney cancer to receive either Votrient or Sutent for 10 weeks. After a two-week break, the prescriptions were reversed for another 10 weeks. Neither patients nor physicians knew who was getting which drug.
About 70 percent of patients preferred Votrient, while 22 percent of patients chose Sutent and 8 percent had no preference.
About 60 percent of physicians preferred Votrient, while 21 percent opted for Sutent and 21 percent had no preference. Researchers said that physicians may not be placing as much significance on quality of life differences between the two drugs.
GlaxoSmithKline, the company that makes Votrient, funded the study, which was expected to be presented Saturday at the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting, in Chicago.
Pfizer, the maker of Sutent, issued a statement on the findings on Friday.
"It is important to consider the limitations of this trial design," the drug maker said. The study involved a "small randomized phase 2 trial [and] was based on patient perceived tolerability without complete evaluation of efficacy, a key consideration in the treatment of metastatic cancer patients. Therefore, one cannot establish a full understanding of the comparative risk/benefit profile of SutentR (sunitinib malate) from this study," Pfizer said.
The company also noted that, "through experience in clinical practice and trials, physicians are continuously learning how to optimize the treatment of advanced [kidney cancer] to improve the management of this devastating disease and ensure patients continue to get maximum benefit from Sutent."
Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

("Lyoto, we're friends and all, but if I catch you crouched beside the urinals with a chalice one more time, there are going to be some serious problems." Photo courtesy of Machida's Twitter.)
Well, we can pretty much put any doubt to rest in regards to Lyoto Machida's strategy for his upcoming UFC 157 fight with Dan Henderson. The former champion recently Tweeted the above photo of himself training alongside Melvin Manhoef, the world renowned Muay Thai kickboxer who possesses legs so destructive that they are capable of implosion, so expect a Machida gameplan of "Leg kick, evade, repeat" heading into this one. This is not good news for Hendo, who will be stepping back into the ring for the first time since blowing out his knee and setting into motion a series of events that would culminate in the cancellation of UFC 151 and an absolutely brutal public backlash aimed at champion Jon Jones. So yeah, it wasn't all bad.
Since going winless during his Strikeforce and DREAM runs in 2010-2011, Manhoef has put together three wins and a no-contest in MMA competition, including a first round destruction of Denis Kang on New Year's Eve at DREAM 18. Machida, on the other hand, recently rebounded from a failed title bid against Jones at UFC 140 with a second round KO of Ryan Bader at UFC on Fox 4 last August.
After the jump: A video testament to Manhoef's otherworldly striking power. Seriously, he and Rousimar Palhares must be like the Freddy and Jason of the ACL dimension.
So Nation, is Manhoef the final Jenga piece that brings Hendo's title aspirations crumbling to the ground? Also, Jenga-based metaphors: Ye or nay?

Chinese walls come down for video calling
Still no reason for video calling, though
Chinese silicon providers Spreadtrum and Rahotech have announced a new chipset that brings video calling to handsets that straddle the TD-SCDMA/GSM divide.
China has only just started deploying its 3G network, based on an internally developed technology called TD-SCDMA, the country having decided against paying royalties to the western companies that own competing 3G technologies. When roaming abroad Chinese subscribers need handsets that support GSM too, and if they're going to use video and other 3G services when abroad then they also need support for GSM 3G, such as that provided by the new silicon.
So incompatible are the technologies that most dual-mode handsets can happily maintain two separate calls simultaneously, demonstrating how little silicon is reused in such devices.
The new silicon isn't any more integrated, but it does allow video calls and other 3G applications while on the GSM network, assuming that Chinese punters find video calling more compelling than everyone else.
It seems remarkable that one can count the number of 3G phones without a forward-facing camera - for video calling - on the fingers of one hand, and we've yet to meet anyone who has ever made a mobile video call besides demonstrating the technology.
But the Chinese networks are pushing video calling as a killer application for 3G, just like the western networks did before them, while the government is pleased to see that TD-SCDMA is gaining some traction.
It's not the first time that the Chinese have tried to push their own technology, but Enhanced Versatile Disc demonstrated how difficult it is to remain proprietary in a world market. While TD-SCDMA can be mandated by spectrum licence, it will be interesting to see if the proprietary standard really can challenge GSM. ®

Everyone dreams of an early retirement.
Rather than leaving the workforce at the typical age of 62, there are some retirees who aim to retire in their 40s or 50s. This lofty goal typically requires an aggressive savings plan, as early retirees must live off their savings until they can expect to withdraw benefits like Social Security or dip into their 401(k) or IRA savings without facing a penalty.
In a new study, MagnifyMoney ranked 217 U.S. cities to find the best and worst places to retire early. The study found Knoxville is the best place to retire early. Memphis finished close behind in second place.
We looked at cost of living, quality of life and access to extra income. Each city was given a final composite score out of 100 possible points. The score was based on those three factors, each weighted differently based on priority: cost of living (50 percent), quality of life (30 percent), and access to additional income (20 percent).
Cost of Living: The cost of groceries, housing, utilities, transportation, health care, and other goods and services.
Quality of Life: Weather (average annual temperature and number of sunny days); access to arts and entertainment; walkability; the proportion of the 55+ age group in the overall population.
Employability: Early retirees may choose to incorporate part-time work into their lives even after they retire to stay active and supplement their existing savings. We looked at the minimum wage, unemployment rate, average commute time, and state income tax for each metro.
With the good must come the bad. Here are the worst cities to try to retire early:
Want an affordable retirement? Head South.
Cities in the South and Midwest dominated the list of best places to retire early, mostly due to a lower average cost of living than any of the four regions studied. Southern and Midwestern cities boasted an average cost of living score of 63 —13 points higher than the average score across all 216 cities studied of (50).
The South and Midwest also boasted the two highest overall early retirement scores (57 and 56, respectively).
The South may be the best bet for early retirees looking for the option of part-time work to supplement their income as well. The region scored the highest employability score of any other area. The employability score was based on the unemployment rate, minimum wage, average commute time and state income tax.
More interested in a high quality of life? Head Northeast.
Early retirees will need to save a pretty penny to retire in the Northeast, but they may find retirement more entertaining at least. Although the Northeast earned the highest score of any region for quality of life (67, well above the national average of 50), the region suffered due to its relatively high cost of living. It earned the lowest cost of living score of any region with a paltry 17.
Western cities had a poor showing in all three categories, barely eeking out a higher final score than the Northeast. But whereas the expensive Northeast was buoyed by its relatively high quality of life score, the West was dragged down on all three fronts.

Post subject: Thoughts on Atascadero Mini Golf - concept
Any thoughts on this one would be appreciated:
Atascadero Mini Golf
Interactive Center for Education
This mini golf course is a walk-through, living history tour of Atascadero and its correlation to California history. It is an ideal place for visits from school groups, families or just hanging out with friends. Time can be focused to a specific educational experience, or guests can stay a while, to play and learn more. The people and times represented are symbolic of those who have come in search of the California dream that is the American dream.
Edward G. Lewis, founder of the community of Atascadero in 1913, is highlighted, and the basis for the storyline of Ed E. Gull, the tour guide. Guideposts along the way give more specific information on each time period - through his eyes as a young bird learning to fly and discovering his surroundings. The story of Ed E. Gull can be found in the Soaring Higher bookstore, as a storybook, coloring book, or workbook for classes to use.
Players will find themselves under an oak with the Salinas Indians, as they lived, then on a Franciscan Rancho, in their daily life. Next, they will play through a tent in the early Tent City development, coming out onto a street in the Colony District, with its Craftsman homes. Then they will go through obstacles found in the Printery, the first civic building and heart of news for the newly developing area. Moving on to the centerpiece of Lewis planned community, the grand, Italian-Renaissance style City Hall is a beautiful building to play through or around, depending on strategy. The next challenge is the magnificent Carlton Hotel, which represents much change throughout the years. Following along to the nearby Sunken Gardens, with its lively festivals, guests will be amidst the current celebrations of the past as they near the end of their play. The final hole goes around Lake Atascadero, with the zoo, where visiting animals may be displayed, and the Pavilion, where they may compare scores or get more information on what they have learned.
In addition to the mini golf, there is an interactive game and display area with more activities and exhibits on the history of Atascadero and the surrounding areas. Visitors from nearby communities will see their buildings and people included, as they relate to California history. Guests can get a behind the scenes look at the significance of places they may see everyday, and have a greater appreciation for them the next time they go by or into one of these buildings.
The exhibit area also includes the bookstore, with more educational materials, and a snack stand in the Mission de la Escultura Del Azucar, with models of missions from the local 4th grade classes on display.
The area is full of old oak trees, portraying what life was like, what it still is, and what lies ahead. Through the interactive displays, all guests especially kids will be given a sense of empowerment in being able to live out their dreams, and see how they can purposefully help to create a better future, for themselves and others.

A regular project for 4th graders, studying California history, is making models of the missions out of sugar cubes - the name is just translated into Spanish.
