Karapoti Classic - annual mountain bike event, started in 1986 by Paul Kennett. It starts at Karapoti Park off Akatarawa Road, north of Upper Hutt, and heads up the 8 km Karapoti Gorge. From there it begins a single 30 km loop in native and pine forest. The 1986 Karapoti was New Zealand's first national mountain bike race and was self declared the National Off-Road Championships. The event was managed by the Kennett Bros until 2002. The event differs from most races because it comprises a large single loop and the route does not change from year to year. It is held on the first Sunday of March every year. Official website.

The Labor government was held responsible (rightly or wrongly) for the bad economic aftermath of the 1980s. (see Joan Kirner). Kennett responded by instituting one of the most aggressive cost cutting and privatisation programs undertaken by any government. He also diverted money towards projects of civil pride such as restoring Parliament House, building the Melbourne Museum, building the Melbourne Exhibition Centre (commonly known as "Jeff's shed" during his term and as "Bracks' Shack" during that of his immediate successor).

Kitsune - However, most are simply mischievous and are usually harmless if not angered somehow. Embedded in popular folklore, kitsune have made appearances in several Japanese works. In Super Mario Bros 3, Mario has the ability to change into a Tanuki by using a leaf power-up (though the suit is called a Tanooki Suit in the game). Mario gains the power to turn into a statue while he is wearing a Tanooki Suit. Sonic the Hedgehog's two-tailed sidekick Tails may be based on the legends of the kitsune. And two Pokémon creatures, the Vulpix and the Ninetales, are undoubtedly derived from the mythical kitsune. External Links The Kitsune Page.

Koji Kondo - systems have vastly improved Nintendo's audio capabilities, and Kondo today composes music with CD quality sound. Musical Style and Influences Koji Kondo is one of the pioneers of video game music. Critics cite as his greatest talent his ability to craft melodies that remain pleasant and unobtrusive even when looped over long periods of time and played through inferior sound equipment. His songs are definitely memorable; one survey revealed that two-thirds of people worldwide recognized Kondo's main theme to Super Mario Bros almost 20 years after it was written, and Kondo can count talent such as Paul McCartney among his fans. Kondo's music has been cited as being as integral to the Nintendo style as the game design of Shigeru Miyamoto. Conversely, this familiarity is also the cause of most criticism.

Jeffrey Hunter - recommended Hunter to director Nicholas Ray for the role of Jesus Christ in the biblical King of Kings (1961), a difficult part met by critical reaction that ranged from praise to ridicule. Among an all-star cast in the World War II battle epic The Longest Day (1962), he provided the climactic heroic act of breaching the defense wall atop Normandy's Omaha Beach.

Although Temple Houston did not survive its first season, NBC offered him the lead role of Captain Christopher Pike in the pilot episode (The Cage) of a new science fiction.
