Thread: Canister Filters?
Slaphppy: you mentioned earlier you might add a shelf on top of the filter for supplies, etc. I would need to do the same, but I was thinking that to make access to the filter easier during maintenance, maybe that shelf could be attached to the rear of the stand with hinges. That way, when it comes time do to filter maintenance, the shelf just lifts up and out of the way.
Also, I have a question on stand height. Most commercial stands I have seen are 38" tall. My problem with that height is that the top frame of my 29 gallon would sit at about 56" or 57" -- this is about 6 inches below eye level for most adults. So, when you approach the tank to look at it, you would be looking down straight into the top frame, instead of directly into the tank, and the frame would obstruct your view. You would have to squat slightly to actually see the entire tank. I'm curious as to why stands are not taller? I think the ideal height would be around 44". That would be place the top frame at eye level, so you can see the entire tank without squatting. I do have a 9 year old daughter for whom a 44" stand would be a tad high, so maybe lower it slightly to 42" (or provide a stool for her to use?), but 38" just seems low.
Is there any particular reason stands are not usually taller than 38"? I am probably missing something obvious...
EDIT: Ok, I just thought of a potential reason to want the frame below eye level: access to the top of the tank for water changes, etc... So the frame cannot be too high, but I still think that putting the top frame exactly at eye level you can just use a small stool for water changes, so that the rest of the month you can enjoy your tank fully?

The purpose of the foam is to allow the tank to sit / settle on the stand with completely even pressure. When you make you own stand with wood, there is aways a very small risk the joins may not be perfectly the same hight. The difference could even be 1/16 of a inch which can be very hard to see. Sanding will typically only smooth out the difference, not remove it.
Make your stand as high, or low, as you want it. The hight you choose should be based on what you like, and what you plan to put inside the stand. I made one stand for a 180 gallon tank only 21 inchs tall as I was not putting anything inside the stand and I liked that hight for viewing from my couch. I have made other stands about 34 inches in hight to allow enough room for a skimmer or larger canister filter.
Pick the hight that works for you and your set-up
Companys that make stands only use the average hight they feel their customers want/needIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Other things to consider when building a tank stand:
-Will this need to fit through a door? (i.e. Are you making it in the garage and it's going in the living room, or do you move a lot?)
-Will you be viewing this more while sitting down? That would lower eye level quite a bit.
-What level is best for maintenance?
Hope these help. :)1. 2. (No Picture)

I am going 36" high because it will be eye level when sitting on my couch...I'd be afraid of a tipping hazard if the stand was too high....That will put the top of my tank at 52", which will be ideal for me (I'm 6'1') to do water changes
After I get my Eheim filter, I am going to build a shelf inside the stand for it, and probably an air pump, to sit on. The height of that shelf will depend on how much lower than the tank I can go with the filter...it will be a small shelf, but I may be able to store a few other things on it as well...
I plan on putting walls on the sides and front, with some simple doors on the front to access my stuff...for now, I plan on leaving the back of the stand open, for filter hoses, airlines, cords, etc...may use zip ties to keep them in place.
And course, we are FINALLY getting some much needed rain here today, and the only pickup truck I have access to is open-bed, so I can't go today to start gathering the stuff I need to build the stand...60% chance tomorrow, too....dang it

0Slaphppy, what are you using for the walls and doors?
I have always like using solid 3/4inch pine for that. Easy to seal and will add to the overall strength of the stand (assuming you also use glue to attach it to the stand), not to mention you will get a stand that will last for many many years to come.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

I showed him the drawing of what I want to do, and he mentioned wood glue, as if it were a given. He mentioned how it would make the stand much stronger, and I agree. I had not really considered it until he mentioned it, I was just gonna use screws.
The thing is, my house is on piers, and it is not level by any means. The space where I want the tank is one of the more level points of the house, I think. But, if you read gronlaura's thread, the area she wanted her tank to be was not level either. Tha's why she advises not attaching the top rectangle until you have the stand in place, and then attaching the top, as level. That is what I plan on doing.
So what happens if I get the house leveled?. It has needed to be done for quite some time now, and the wife and me are planning to do just that in maybe the next year or so, so that we can do a small add-on to the back of the house.
If the top and walls of the stand are glued, it is at that angle forever, correct?. I know that a screwed and glued joint of wood is actually stronger than the wood itself, so like you say, it would last a lifetime...at the build shape, not at a true squared shape.
I'm trying to think ahead, so I may not use glue at all, or at least not for the top rectangle and the walls.
That way, when and if the time comes to re-level the stand, it is a matter of removing and replacing screws.
I raelize that the actual wall shapes can vary, too, depending on how unlevel the original location of the tank was in the first place.
My neighbor's suggestion was, if and when we get the house leveled, and it affects the tank level in any way, to shim the stand at the bottom...I kinda agree

Obama Orders Chevrolet and Dodge Out Of NASCAR - Car News
With their racing budgets deemed unnecessary expenditures, GM and Chrysler are ordered to cease racing operations at the end of the season.
April 2009
In a move sure to spark outrage, the White House announced today that GM and Chrysler must cease participation in NASCAR at the end of the 2009 season if they hope to receive any additional financial aid from the government. Companies around the globeHonda and Audi, to name twohave drawn down racing operations, and NASCAR itself has already felt the pinch in the form of reduced team spending. A complete withdrawal from Americas premier racing series is expected to save more than $250 million between GM and Chrysler, a substantial amount considering the drastic measures being implemented elsewhere.
Automakers used to operate on the principle of win on Sunday, sell on Monday, but the Auto Task Forces research just doesnt validate that as true, said the statement from President Obama. While fans have decried the Car of Tomorrow for heavily limiting what little personalization the cookie-cutter series had previously allowed to participating manufacturers, and drivers have slammed its brick-like aerodynamics and unpredictable handling, even the governmental oversight committee sees that the full-scale regulation of the cars leaves the manufacturers very little space for research and development. NASCAR is a racing series that regulates down to the smallest detail of the cars, where a car badged a Chevrolet or Dodge differs only marginally from a Ford or a Toyota. Theres no technological development to speak of.
The statement goes on further to say the same demand will be made of Ford if it asks for government assistance. In order to receive this money, corporations must demonstrate they will spend it wisely. Racing has been said to improve on-road technology, but frankly, NASCAR almost flaunts its standing among the lowest-tech forms of motorsport. NASCAR is not proven to drive advancements that transfer from the racetrack to the road, and this nations way forward does not hinge on decades-old technology. We need new, and we need innovation.
The President realizes this will be an unpopular call, but stands behind the decision, saying, This is an obvious cut to make, but it is not an easy one. This administration is not ignoring the tremendous sentimental value and emotional appeal NASCAR holds for so many Americans. But now is not the time for sentiment and nostalgia; now is a time for decisive financial action. If our automotive industry is to emerge from this recession intact, then these difficult decisions must be made.
Both Chevrolet and Dodge see the move as only temporary, and fully expect to resume racing in NASCAR as soon as they have stabilized and the governments hand in their operations is minimized. There is nothing really to say at this point, said one representative, who wished to remain anonymous. Weve been doing this since the beginning, and we always assumed wed be doing this until the end. Heck, nobody ever thought to think that there would be an end. But we aint done. As soon as this is over, were taking back our spot at the top.
NASCAR officials remain tight-lipped about the call, but sources say series president Mike Helton and team managers are exploring several options, including other manufacturers to fill Chevrolet and Dodges vacated positions. Given the companys recent interest in motorsport and the steady cash-flow and V-8 engine provided by its new Genesis sedan, sources indicate that NASCAR is pinging Hyundai to gauge the Korean companys interest in occupying a spot in NASCAR. Toyota was not well-received their first year in the sport, nor was their first season an easy one, the source says. But they learned, they applied the lessons, and they have proven very competitive this year.
If Hyundai does indeed join the series, there will no doubt be a steep learning curve, and the move would leave Ford the lone domestic battling a pair of Asian makes in Americas most popular racing series. We wonder, however, how long NASCAR could hold that title without two of its most storied participants.

CHAPTER X.page: 152 page: 153
OSWALD is a boy of firm and unswerving character, and he had never wavered from his first idea. He felt quite certain that the books were right, and that the best way to restore fallen fortunes was to rescue an old gentleman in distress. Then he brings you up as his own son: but if you preferred to go on being your own father's son I expect the old gentleman would make it up to you some other way. In the books the least thing does it—you put up the railway carriage window—or you pick up his purse when he drops it—or you say a hymn when he suddenly asks you to, and then your fortune is made.
The others, as I said, were very slack about it, and did not seem to care much about trying the rescue. They said there wasn't any deadly page: 154 peril, and we should have to make one before we could rescue the old gentleman from it, but Oswald didn't see that that mattered. However, he thought he would try some of the easier ways first, by himself.
So he waited about the station, pulling up railway carriage windows for old gentlemen who looked likely—but nothing happened, and at last the porters said he was a nuisance. So that was no go. No one ever asked him to say a hymn, though he had learned a nice short one, beginning "New every morning"—and when an old gentleman did drop a two‐shilling piece just by Ellis's the hairdresser's, and Oswald picked it up, and was just thinking what he should say when he returned it, the old gentleman caught him by the collar and called him a young thief. It would have been very unpleasant for Oswald if he hadn't happened to be a very brave boy, and knew the policeman on that beat very well indeed. So the policeman backed him up, and the old gentleman said he was sorry, and offered Oswald sixpence. Oswald refused it with polite disdain, and nothing more happened at all.
When Oswald had tried by himself and it had not come off, he said to the others, "We're page: 155 wasting our time, not trying to rescue the old gentleman in deadly peril. Come—buck up! Do let's do something!"
It was dinner‐time, and Pincher was going round getting the bits off the plates. There were plenty because it was cold‐mutton day. And Alice said—
"It's only fair to try Oswald's way—he has tried all the things the others thought of. Why couldn't we rescue Lord Tottenham?"
Lord Tottenham is the old gentleman who walks over the Heath every day in a paper collar at three o'clock—and when he gets half way, if there is no one about, he changes his collar and throws the dirty one into the furze‐bushes.
Dicky said, "Lord Tottenham's all right—but where's the deadly peril?"
And we couldn't think of any. There are no highwaymen on Blackheath now, I am sorry to say. And though Oswald said half of us could be highwaymen and the other half rescue party, Dora kept on saying it would be wrong to be a highwayman—and so we had to give that up.
Then Alice said, "What about Pincher?"
And we all saw at once that it could be done.page: 156
Pincher is very well bred, and he does know one or two things, though we never could teach him to beg. But if you tell him to hold on—he will do it, even if you only say "Seize him!" in a whisper.
So we arranged it all. Dora said she wouldn't play; she said she thought it was wrong, and she knew it was silly—so we left her out, and she went and sat in the dining‐room with a goody‐book, so as to be able to say she didn't have anything to do with it, if we got into a row over it.
Alice and H.O. were to hide in the furze‐bushes just by where Lord Tottenham changes his collar, and they were to whisper, 'Seize him!" to Pincher; and then when Pincher had seized Lord Tottenham we were to go and rescue him from his deadly peril. And he would say, "How can I reward you, my noble young preservers?" and it would be all right.
So we went up to the Heath. We were afraid of being late. Oswald told the others what Procrastination was—so they got to the furze‐bushes a little after two o'clock, and it was rather cold. Alice and H.O. and Pincher hid, but Pincher did not like it any more than they did, and as we three walked up and down page: 157 we heard him whining. And Alice kept saying, "I am so cold! Isn't he coming yet?" And H.O. wanted to come out and jump about to warm himself. But we told him he must learn to be a Spartan boy, and that he ought to be very thankful he hadn't got a beastly fox eating his inside all the time. H.O. is our little brother, and we are not going to let it be our fault if he grows up a milksop. Besides, it was not really cold. It was his knees—he wears socks. So they stayed where they were. And at last, when even the other three who were walking about were beginning to feel rather chilly, we saw Lord Tottenham's big black cloak coming along, flapping in the wind like a great bird. So we said to Alice—
"Hist! he approaches. You'll know when to set Pincher on by hearing Lord Tottenham talking to himself—he always does while he is taking off his collar."
Then we three walked slowly away whistling to show we were not thinking of anything. Our lips were rather cold, but we managed to do it.
Lord Tottenham came striding along, talking to himself. People call him the mad Protectionist. I don't know what it means—but page: 158 I don't think people ought to call a Lord such names.
As he passed us he said, "Ruin of the country, sir! Fatal error, fatal error!" And then we looked back and saw he was getting quite near where Pincher was, and Alice and H.O. We walked on—so that he shouldn't think we were looking—and in a minute we heard Pincher's bark, and then nothing for a bit; and then we looked round, and sure enough good old Pincher had got Lord Tottenham by the trouser leg and was holding on like billy‐oh, so we started to run.
Lord Tottenham had got his collar half off—it was sticking out sideways under his ear—and he was shouting, "Help, help, murder!" exactly as if some one had explained to him beforehand what he was to do. Pincher was growling and snarling and holding on. When we got to him I stopped and said—
"Dicky, we must rescue this good old man."
Lord Tottenham roared in his fury, "Good old man be—" something or othered. "Call the dog off!"
So Oswald said, "It is a dangerous task—but who would hesitate to do an act of true bravery?"page: 159
And all the while Pincher was worrying and snarling, and Lord Tottenham shouting to us to get the dog away. He was dancing about in the road with Pincher hanging on like grim death; and his collar flapping about, where it was undone.
Then Noël said, "Haste, ere yet it be too late." So I said to Lord Tottenham—
"Stand still, aged sir, and I will endeavour to alleviate your distress."
He stood still, and I stooped down and caught hold of Pincher and whispered, "Drop it, sir; drop it!"
So then Pincher dropped it, and Lord Tottenham fastened his collar again—he never does change it if there's any one looking—and he said—
"I'm much obliged, I'm sure. Nasty vicious brute! Here's something to drink my health."
But Dicky explained that we are teetotallers, and do not drink people's peoples' healths. So Lord Tottenham said, "Well, I'm much obliged any way. And now I come to look at you—of course, you're not young ruffians, but gentlemen's sons, eh? Still, you won't be above taking a tip from an old boy—I wasn't when I was your age," and he pulled out half a sovereign.page: 160
It was very silly; but now we'd done it I felt it would be beastly mean to take the old boy's chink after putting him in such a funk. He didn't say anything about bringing us up as his own sons—so I didn't know what to do. I let Pincher go, and was just going to say he was very welcome, and we'd rather not have the money, which seemed the best way out of it, when that beastly dog spoiled the whole show. Directly I let him go he began to jump about at us and bark for joy, and try to lick our faces. He was so proud of what he'd done. Lord Tottenham opened his eyes and he just said, "The dog seems to know you."
And then Oswald saw it was all up, and he said, "Good morning," and tried to get away. But Lord Tottenham said—
"Not so fast!" And he caught Noël by the collar. Noël gave a howl, and Alice ran out from the bushes. Noël is her favourite. I'm sure I don't know why. Lord Tottenham looked at her, and he said—
"So there are more of you!" And then H.O. came out.
"Do you complete the party?" Lord Tottenham asked him. And H.O. said there were only five of us this time.
page: 161
Lord Tottenham turned sharp off and began to walk away, holding Noël by the collar. We caught up with him, and asked him where he was going, and he said, "To the Police Station." So then I said quite politely, "Well, don't take Noël; he's not strong, and he easily gets upset. Besides, it wasn't his doing. If you want to take any one take me—it was my very own idea."
Dicky behaved very well. He said, "If you take Oswald I'll go too, but don't take Noël; he's such a delicate little chap."
Lord Tottenham stopped, and he said, "You should have thought of that before." Noël was howling all the time, and his face was very white, and Alice said—
"Oh, do let Noël go, dear, good, kind Lord Tottenham; he'll faint if you don't, I know he will, he does sometimes. Oh, I wish we'd never done it! Dora said it was wrong."
"Dora displayed considerable common sense," said Lord Tottenham, and he let Noël go. And Alice put her arm round Noël and tried to cheer him up, but he was all trembly, and as white as paper.
Then Lord Tottenham said—
"Will you give me your word of honour not to try to escape?"page: 162
So we said we would.
"Then follow me," he said, and led the way to a bench. We all followed, and Pincher too, with his tail between his legs—he knew something was wrong. Then Lord Tottenham sat down, and he made Oswald and Dicky and H.O. stand in front of him, but he let Alice and Noël sit down. And he said—
"You set your dog on me, and you tried to make me believe you were saving me from it. And you would have taken my half‐sovereign. Such conduct is most— No—you shall tell me what it is, sir, and speak the truth."
So I had to say it was most ungentlemanly, but I said I hadn't been going to take the half‐sovereign.
"Then what did you do it for?" he asked. "The truth, mind."
So I said, "I see now it was very silly, and Dora said it was wrong, but it didn't seem so till we did it. We wanted to restore the fallen fortunes of our house, and in the books if you rescue an old gentleman from deadly peril, he brings you up as his own son—or if you prefer to be your Father's son, he starts you in business, so that you end in wealthy affluence; and there wasn't any deadly peril, page: 163 so we made Pincher into one—and so—" I was so ashamed I couldn't go on, for it did seem an awfully mean thing. Lord Tottenham said—
"A very nice way to make your fortune—by deceit and trickery. I have a horror of dogs. If I'd been a weak man the shock might have killed me. What do you think of yourselves, eh?"
We were all crying except Oswald, and the others say he was; and Lord Tottenham went on—
"Well, well, I see you're sorry. Let this be a lesson to you; and we'll say no more about it. I'm an old man now, but I was young once."
Then Alice slid along the bench close to him, and put her hand on his arm: her fingers were pink through the holes in her woolly gloves, and said, "I think you're very good to forgive us, and we are really very, very sorry. But we wanted to be like the children in the books—only we never have the chances they have. Everything they do turns out all right. But we are sorry, very, very. And I know Oswald wasn't going to take the half‐sovereign. Directly you said that about a tip from an old boy I began to feel bad inside, and I page: 164 whispered to H.O. that I wished we hadn't."
Then Lord Tottenham stood up, and he looked like the Death of Nelson, for he is clean shaved and it is a good face, and he said—
"Always remember never to do a dishonourable thing, for money or for anything else in the world."
And we promised we would remember. Then he took off his hat, and we took off ours, and he went away, and we went home. I never felt so cheap in all my life! Dora said, "I told you so," but we didn't mind even that so much, though it was indeed hard to bear. It was what Lord Tottenham had said about ungentlemanly. We didn't go on to the Heath for a week after that; but at last we all went, and we waited for him by the bench. When he came along Alice said, "Please, Lord Tottenham, we have not been on the Heath for a week, to be a punishment because you let us off. And we have brought you a present each if you will take them to show you are willing to make it up."
He sat down on the bench, and we gave him our presents. Oswald gave him a sixpenny compass—he bought it with my own money on purpose to give him. Oswald always buys page: 165 useful presents. The needle would not move after I'd had it a day or two, but Lord Tottenham used to be an admiral, so he will be able to make that go all right. Alice had made him a shaving‐case, with a rose worked on it. And H.O. gave him his knife—the same one he once cut all the buttons off his best suit with. Dicky gave him his prize, "Naval Heroes," because it was the best thing he had, and Noël gave him a piece of poetry he had made himself—
When sin and shame bow down the brow Then people feel just like we do now. We are so sorry with grief and pain We never will be so ungentlemanly again.
Lord Tottenham seemed very pleased. He thanked us, and talked to us for a bit, and when he said good‐bye he said—
"All's fair weather now, mates," and shook hands.
And whenever we meet him he nods to us, and if the girls are with us he takes off his hat, so he can't really be going on thinking us ungentlemanly now.

ECRU – Lafayette pitcher Avery McCullough had five strikeouts in a 4-0 division win at North Pontotoc on Tuesday night, none bigger than two in the fourth inning.
The Lady Vikings missed a big chance to blow it open in the bottom of the inning. Three-hitter Brittany Seale got to third to open the inning on a single and error and a pair of infield singles from Chandler Gates and Katie Denton loaded the bases with one out. But McCullough (4-3) got back-to-back strikeouts to end the threat.
"Working hard all week talking about that right there, no matter what they do, we've got to play our game and still stay at it," Lafayette coach Katie Moore said.
North Pontotoc (11-3, 2-2 Division 2-4A) had four hits and five errors.
Lafayette (10-8, 2-2) got the only run it needed in the sixth. Amber Adams singled and took second on an error. She scored from third with two outs when Katrina Wilson reached first safely on North first baseman Denton's drop.
divisional log jam
There is now a three-way tie for second place in the division. Montgomery argued a throw-out at third that ended the sixth.
"When you have more errors than you do hits, it's hard to beat anybody," Montgomery said. "We had our chances early and didn't get the job done."
Lafayette blew a chance to score in the top of the third. Kendall Glass tripled with one out but Adams' bunt turned into a double play as Denton fired back to catcher Seale to end the inning.
The Lady Dores added cushion in the seventh, a run on Glass' bases loaded walk off North starter Gates (5-2), on Adams' second single and Emily Robinson's sac. Lafayette had three of its six hits in the inning.
The teams meet again April 16 at Lafayette to close division play.

Crafted by some of the most respected designers in the world, Alias products are highly expressive and yet minimalist in style. Their story began in 1979 with Giandomenico Belotti's "Spaghetti Chair", one of Alias's first creations to become part of the MoMA collection in New York City. All Alias products are manufactured in Italy at plants located within 30 miles of their facilities at Grumello del Monte and Motta di Livenza. Alias consistently seeks to minimize environmental impact through policies involving every phase of its operations.
Design is a true vocation for Alias, even in the choice of its designers — well-known international names from different generations and with different training, such as: Giandomenico Belotti, Alberto Meda, Jasper Morrison, Patrick Norguet, Alfredo Häberli, James Irvine, and Michele de Lucchi. Over the years, Alias has established a special working relationship with each of these names, and the Alias inclination towards experimentation has fostered in every project the development of each designer's own particular qualities.
Born in Lenno Tremezzina in the province of Como in 1945, he graduated in mechanical engineering at the Milan Polytechnic in 1969. After being the technical director of Kartell in the seventies, he dedicated himself to design, applying his experience in polyurethane resins and new materials in general. In this period he won two Compasso d'Oro awards.View other products by Alberto Meda

Recently I had a chat with a number of the Scouts in my troop about their Eagle Projects. Landscaping, fence building, compost bins, flag pole/ memorials etc… were among the list of ideas that hit the table as these young men begin the process of completeing their Eagle requirements.
There is a trend that I have noticed lately within our District and reading about other Eagle projects within our Council that the Scouts seem to be really taking the easy way out, what I mean by that is very little thought or imagination is going into the projects.
Now to be fair, the requirement (of which a Scoutmaster can not take away.. nor add too) is this;
While a Life Scout, plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, any school, or your community. (The project should benefit an organization other than Boy Scouting.) The project plan must be approved by the organization benefiting from the effort, your Scoutmaster and troop committee, and the council or district before you start. You must use the Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook, BSA publication No. 512-927, in meeting this requirement.
So thats it.. that is the requirement.. but what is the intent or reason for doing a service project?
Is it so that lots of things get done in our communities? Is it to teach the Scouts to be of service to the community? I mean, really, they should have learned that by First Class. The first line of the requirement says "PLAN, DEVELOP, and GIVE LEADERSHIP".
And that is the discussion I had with the soon to be Eagle Scouts of my troop. The intent of the project is not to spread bark dust or build park benches. The reason they do the project is to demonstrate leadership.
I told our young men that no matter what the project, they should challenge themselves in leadership. If they insist on bark dust and building fences, make sure that they go through the process of planning, developing the plan, to include resources (man, material, and money) and then Lead.
I think the problem I have with the easy "Cookie cutter" Eagle projects are that they are so easy, that even your average 14 year old really does not get a challenge out of it.
I am not suggesting it be too hard that it overwhelms the young man, but what is this Scouting thing all about? Learning.. a Game with a purpose.. Character… all of that. Well, then they need to be challenged in what is the most significant life lasting achievement in Scouting.
Again, we can not add or take away from the requirements, but we can suggest that our young men learn something as they become Eagle Scouts.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

That's what the kid behind the counter at Taco Bell said to me.
I dug into my pocket and pulled out some lint and two dimes and something that used to be a Jolly Rancher.
Having already handed the kid a five-spot, I started to head back out to the truck to grab some change
When the kid with the Elmo hairdo said the hardest thing anyone has ever said to me.
He said, "It's OK. I'll just give you the senior citizen discount."
I turned to see who he was talking to and then heard the sound of change hitting the counter in front of me.
"Only $4.68" he said cheerfully.
I stood there stupefied. I am 56, not even 60 yet?
A mere child!
Senior citizen?
I took my burrito and walked out to the truck wondering what was wrong with Elmo.
Was he blind?
As I sat in the truck, my blood began to boil.
Old? Me?
I'll show him, I thought.
I opened the door and headed back inside. I strode to the counter,
and there he was waiting with a smile.
Before I could say a word, he held up something and jingled it in front of me,
like I could be that easily distracted!
What am I now?
A toddler?
"Dude! Can't get too far without your car keys, eh?"
I stared with utter disdain at the keys.
I began to rationalize in my mind!
"Leaving keys behind hardly makes a man elderly!
It could happen to anyone!"
I turned and headed back to the truck.
I slipped the key into the ignition, but it wouldn't turn.
What now?
I checked my keys and tried another.
Still nothing.
That's when I noticed the purple beads hanging from my rear view mirror.
I had no purple beads hanging from my rear view mirror.
Then, a few other objects came into focus:
The car seat in the back seat.
Happy Meal toys spread all over the floorboard.
A partially eaten doughnut on the dashboard.
Faster than you can say ginkgo biloba, I flew out of the alien vehicle.
Moments later I was speeding out of the parking lot,
relieved to finally be leaving this nightmarish stop in my life.
That is when I felt it, deep in the bowels of my stomach: hunger!
My stomach growled and churned, and I reached to grab my burrito,
only it was nowhere to be found.
I swung the truck around, gathered my courage,
and strode back into the restaurant one final time.
There Elmo stood, draped in youth and black nail polish.
All I could think was, "What is the world coming to?"
All I could say was, "Did I leave my food and drink in here"?
At this point I was ready to ask a Boy Scout to help me back to my vehicle,
and then go straight home and apply for Social Security benefits.
Elmo had no clue.
I walked back out to the truck,
and suddenly a young lad came up and tugged on my jeans to get my attention.
He was holding up a drink and a bag.
His mother explained,
"I think you left this in my truck by mistake."
I took the food and drink from the little boy and sheepishly apologized.
She offered these kind words:
"It's OK. My grandfather does stuff like this all the time."
All of this is to explain how I got a ticket doing 85 in a 40 mph zone.
Yessss, I was racing some punk kid in a Toyota Prius.
And no, I told the officer, I'm not too old to be driving this fast.
As I walked in the front door, my wife met me halfway down the hall.
I handed her a bag of cold food and a $300 speeding ticket.
I promptly sat in my rocking chair and covered up my legs with a blanket.
The good news was I had successfully found my way home.
Notice the larger type?
That's for those of us who have trouble reading.
P.S. Save the earth...... It's the only planet with chocolate!!!!!

How cute this is. I have to remember to get DH to read it. I do remember the first time I was offered a senior discount in a fast food place. I was absolutely indignant. Now they don't ask; they just automatically give it to us.
My husband was insulted the first time he was offered a senior discount but now although he's still not happy to qualify he doesn't mind the discount. My 65 year old brother runs marathons but was given special seating on the train so he wouldn't have to stand in line. He said it was kind of nice. The other "senior" moments I could do without, but I guess it's part of life and we have a lot of company.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – Wednesday's marathon debate in the Mississippi House on charter school legislation proved once again we do not listen to each other in this state when it comes to race.
Too often we forget that it was not that long ago that in many parts of Mississippi the public school system was torn asunder when the federal government told Mississippi leaders that they could no longer operate separate and in reality not-that-equal school systems.
It is against that potentially explosive backdrop that much of the debate on public policy concerning Mississippi's school system is considered in the eyes of many African-Americans.
At the end of a long and emotional debate last week on greatly expanding the state's charter school laws, Rep. Brad Mayo, R-Oxford, stood at the well of the House to speak.
By the time Mayo stood to speak, it was obvious that the minds of every member of the House had been decided on how she or he was going to vote on the contentious issue. But it was obvious that Mayo, a freshman member of the House, had carefully crafted a speech that he wanted to deliver. He has that right. And there is noting wrong with members wanting to put their opinion on record.
Mayo stood to tell members he was a product of the public schools in Oxford and supported them. He said he also supported charter schools that receive public funds but do not have to follow all of the guidelines and governance of traditional public schools in exchange for the promise of meeting specified outcomes. He then told the story of his father to explain why he supported charter schools.
He told of seeing a photo of his father's 1960 graduating class at Drew High School in the Mississippi Delta. He described his father as a tall, lanky youngster in the photo.
He said today it was nearly impossible for a young boy like his father to get a good education in Drew.
There is no reason for anyone to doubt what Mayo was trying to say – that he supported charter schools as an education tool because he genuinely wanted all young people growing up in places like Drew to have as many options as possible to get a good education
What many African-Americans thought of when Mayo told that story was that in the 1960s there were two school systems in Drew – one for whites and one for blacks. It is a pretty safe bet that the photo that Mayo was referring to was of an all-white class. Chances are the blacks in Drew received a lesser education than did Mayo's father and the rest of his graduating class.
And when many blacks hear such tales they think of a time when Mississippi operated a dual public education system and ask isn't that what is being created with charter schools.
"I don't believe for one second that you care about improving the plight of our children," said Rep. Adrienne Wooten, D-Jackson, in debate that at times was racially charged and did not conclude until 1 a.m. Thursday morning.
Sure, real safeguards are being taken to ensure that charter schools will not create an all-black school and an all-white school, but still they are creating schools that get special treatment. Some ask why can't the same fervor be applied to improving all Mississippi schools for all children?
Nowadays in places like Drew, nearly all whites go to private schools, leaving the public schools to blacks.
What will happen with charter schools? How will it impact that dynamic that has led to all-white private schools and nearly all black public schools in some areas?
The case could be made that if charter schools improve that dynamic then that is a good thing.
But all of those issues must be addressed within the context of Mississippi's history – especially as it relates to race.
The Mississippi Legislature often struggles with doing that.

Hey everyone, I'm back.
I haven't been working on any projects lately; and I'm kind of wondering what I should do next. I've put some effort into trying to figure out why my Hanzi Quiz program is hosed in Safari (and Konqueror): that's led me to submit a couple of bug reports.
The second of those reports is so whack that I wonder if something must just be wrong with my system: I first discovered that some accented characters don't show up in utf-8 encoding (although chinese chars are fine), and then I tried iso-8859-1 ... and accented characters didn't appear then either!
I thought that had to be a mistake, so I went and found the link to the famous French newspaper Le Monde, and that showed accented characters just fine. But when I viewed the html source, I found that all the accented characters were numeric entities! Do you Europeans never use the actual iso-8859-1 byte values (or utf-8 byte sequences) for your accented characters?
It strikes me as near impossible that Konqueror, as a European project, would fail to catch this -- but that's what's happening on my (Debian unstable) system.
In any case, Konq (and therefore Safari) look so hopelessly hosed to me that I'm not too inclined to try to make any serious DHTML work on for them. I think I should find another project for a while.
On a personal note, my wife and I are expecting a son in late October. That's an exciting prospect, but also somewhat scary.

Oprah, Tolle, & A New Earth, Chapter 8
In Chapter 7, you began to discover who you truly are. This week, gain a higher, more spacious vantage point and view yourself and the world from that perspective.
If you missed Monday night's web class on Chapter 8: "The Discovery of Inner Space," watch it here. Don't forget to fill out your workbook for Chapter 8 here.
Oprah & Tolle Discuss Chapter 8: "The Discovery of Inner Space"
Chapter 8 of A New Earth is all about being able to find inner space, and therefore, peace. Tolle makes the point that "nonresistance, nonjudgment, and nonattachment are the three aspects of true freedom and enlightened living" (pg. 225); and with detachment comes inner space.
Tolle describes inner spaces as "...a silence, a subtle peace deep within you, even in the face of something seemingly bad." (pg. 226). We are told to begin to rise above thought to create inner space by ceasing the endless chatter in our minds and practicing stillness. There are many ways out there for us to end the thoughts that constantly bounce around our brains, but there is a difference between rising above our thoughts and falling below them. Watching television, drinking alcohol, or taking certain other drugs may quiet our minds for a certain time frame, but Tolle warn us that they ultimately cause you to lose consciousness and actually fall below thought.
So how can we rise above our thoughts and find inner space? We recognize the beauty, kindness, and goodness in the small things that surround us. If you've ever enjoyed the sound of the wind or rain, seen the beauty of the clouds in the sky, or wanted to help a stranger for nothing in return, then you've found inner space for at least a moment. Being aware of our breath is another simple way to take attention away from thinking and create space. Read chapter 8 in A New Earth to find out more about inner space.
" 'Stillness is the language God speaks, and everything else is a bad translation.' " (pg. 255)
Discussion of Chapter 8 in A New Earth:
Here are some thoughts to ponder (and share) regarding Chapter 8:
- "Being detached does not mean that you cannot enjoy the good that the world has to offer. In fact, you enjoy it more. … When you are detached, you gain a higher vantage point from which to view the events in your life instead of being trapped inside them. You become like an astronaut who sees the planet Earth surrounded by the vastness of space and realizes a paradoxical truth: The earth is precious and at the same time insignificant" (p. 225)
What does this mean to you?
Are there any tips you can offer on how to approach things from the outside? Tell Us.
- What simple things make you happy?
Have you stopped to take a moment to realize the moment you are in?
How does it make you feel? Tell Us.
- "Stillness is really another word for space. … You are never more essentially, more deeply, yourself than when you are still. When you are still, you are who you were before you temporarily assumed this physical and mental form called a person. You are also who you will be when the form dissolves. When you are still, you are who you are beyond your temporal existence: consciousness—unconditioned, formless, eternal" (p. 255–256).
How hard is it for you to find this stillness and be comfortable with it? Have you experienced it? Tell Us.
Get Ready for Next Week, Chapter 9
In Chapter, you gained a higher vantage point from which to view your life. Next week in Chapter 9, use what you learned from Chapter 8 to discover your inner purpose. Get started on your Chapter 9 workbook here.

Watch from about 31:00 min on. Ellis talks about how medium drive dogs that have some drive, but perhaps not enough to totally focus or "do anything for" the reward (retrieve), recieve the brunt of his compulsion training out of neccessity. He goes on to say with self reinforcing behiavors (chasing squirrels etc), non-reinforcement does not work. It only goes away with punishment. He does say he tries to block the behavior as much as possible.
He also talks about how he experimented with positive only training for a couple of years and the disaster it caused, thus he went back to the use of some aversives/compulsion. Belief it or not, he talks about how dogs need to learn how to turn pressure off. Very interesting stuff that is presented in a easy to understand manner.

Thread: Help please!!!
Help please!!!
I have a 50 gallon tank with a variety of aquarium fish. About three weeks ago, my med/largepleco died. I did not notice for a day or two. After I pulled him out, the tank developed algae strips hanging on the fake plastic plants and a white cotton substance was on the gravel floor as well. A few more fish died. I did a complete tank change right awayand threw out all plants and decos, as well as replaced the gravel with new gravel. I had saved eight fish while doing this. I got my system up and running again and the eight fish have survived and are happy (Two bala sharks, 4 neons, and 2-3 "I don't knows"). Now here is the part that is frustrating. I have attempted to add three plecos (small size), one the first time and two the second time, and all three have died within hours of entry. I purchased them in a typical water bag and set the bag on top of the water for 20-30 minutes so that the water temps would become close to one another. All my other fish are still alive and well but it seems I can't add any new fish. I am concerned not only because of not being able to add any more fish but in particular not being able to add a pleco to take care of the algae that will eventually build up!
Please help with any advice as this seems really odd! I live out in the country and have a Petsmart and Petco within 25 miles of my home.
Also, I always do my water changes with distilled water. I added about 50 one gallon bottles of distilled water to the tank re the full tank change . . .
Do you have a liquid test kit to test your water parameters? Plecos, as bottom dwellers, are highly susceptible to ammonia and nitrite. You need to confirm that your tank is cycled before you go adding anything else. It is likely that the decaying body of the first dead pleco caused an ammonia spike that killed your other fish and I'm suspicious that you may have set your cycle off even more by cleaning the tank too thoroughly.
Did you wash or replace the filter media when you cleaned it? If you can post pictures of your unknown fish we can ID them for you.~Manna
120 gallon FW bowfront in progress
Essentially what you have done is reverted your tank to being uncycled. I would argue that a large portion of beneficial bacteria (BB) lives in the substrate, not just the filter. When you replaced everything in the tank, including substrate, and you replaced your filter media, then you removed all the BB that keeps the ammonia levels down and the cycle complete. Sound like you need to re-cycle your tank, no pun intended.
At a minimum I would recommend a liquid test kit for ammonia, and the test strips for pH, hardness, NO3 and NO4. Being able to monitor your water parameters is essential.
Now lets talk about what happened. I cant tell for sure without looking at pictures, but your white cotton sustance on the substrate sounds like fungus or mold. It the bottom of your tank is not maintained and cleaned (syphon substrate) then the buildup of funk will cause problems. Plecos are bottom feeders and would be the first to suffer. Also over feeding fish can cause extra food to gather on the botton of the tank and rot, which can also foul up the water and make fish more susceptable to diseases.
Typically in tanks its good to have a clean up crew to assist you in cleaning. Notice I said assist and not replace. Cory Cats and other bottom feeders help with excess food. Snails, ottos, and algae eaters help keep algae and diatoms at a minimum. Other wise you will need to be very carefuly about feeding and maintaining you tank. . . you should be careful about those things anyway, but I am sure you uinderstand what I am saying.
Hope this helps.55 Gallon Freshwater Tank (semi-planted) 48"x21"x13"
Video of 55GAL Tank - DEC 2012
I do not think you lost your cycle by replacing the substrate as most of us here (including me) do run quarantine tanks for extended periods of time without any substrate at all and never experiance any problems with water parameters
But having said that, we would need to know your water parameters to be able to give you some good advice here (as others have already requested)If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
"Not using a quarantine tank is like playing Russian roulette. Nobody wins the game, some people just get to play longer than others." - Anthony Calfo
Fishless Cycle Cycling with Fish Marine Aquarium Info [URL="http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.com/"]
Read this http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ad.php?t=36492.
Just replacing the substrate would have been okay, but you are starting from square one now that you have replaced your filter media.
You'll need to not add any fish for several weeks to a few months until you have cycled your tank. I would recommend purchasing an API master test kit (only $20 on amazon). I agree with ddavis' hypothesis about what may have caused your initial problem. I think the best step from here is to get the test kit and follow the link above to the letter. Once you are cycled and stable then you can think about adding in your bottom dwellers again safely.
Though it may be tempting to buy test strips for ammonia, nitrate and nitrite, try to resist that impulse because they are notoriously inaccurate. Here's a link to that test kit.

Thanks for the info - I will take some water into Petco tomorrow for a test . . .
Thanks CrunchyLeaf!
Let assume this is the issue and I hold off for a month or so on new fish. Besides doing my water change every couple of weeks, is there anything I should do about algae buildup? I have always had plecos and just assumed that they took care of the algae without any other intervention.
Hey everyone! I re-read your posts (thanks again) and I am a bit confused on where you state "replaced filter media". When I first read this I thought it meant that you were asking if I had replaced the filters and carbon in the Power Whisper Filter system (which I did and do every water change). Was this to mean something else, i.e., the black sponge pieces that fit between the filters and the tank?
Don't know what kind of filter that is but if you replace most of the contents of the filter every time you do a water change you got the root cause of why most of your fish died.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

NEMCC athletes collect academic honors
Northeast Mississippi Community College's athletics proved that it not only belong among the top part of the Mississippi Association of Community/Junior Colleges (MACJC) on the field during the 2011-2012 seasons, but the Tigers and Lady Tigers proved that they belonged among the top echelon of the MACJC in the classroom when the state governing body handed out its academic awards.
Northeast led the North Division in athletes receiving academic awards with 23 individual honors from the MACJC and was fourth in the state behind Copiah-Lincoln (29), Miss. Gulf Coast (29) and Jones County Junior College (27).
Northeast's nearest North Division counterpart was Northwest Mississippi which finished with 19 honors and East Mississippi came in with 17 awards.
During the 2011-12 seasons, Northeast saw seven of its nine varsity sports qualify for the Mississippi Association of Community/Junior Colleges (MACJC) state tournaments or playoffs and two teams reach the National Junior College Athletic Association Region XXIII Tournaments.
For Northeast, the women led the way with 16 of its 23 awards coming via a female sport.
Jody Long's Lady Tiger softball team – which finished thirteenth in the nation in team grade point average (GPA) according to the National Junior College AthleticAssociation – had 10 of its 17-member roster honored by the MACJC.
Lynn Smither's six-member women's tennis team saw four of its six players honored by the MACJC and Brian Alexander's women's basketball squad had two players selected.
Booneville's Hannah Hastings led the way for softball with a 3.96 GPA while Hamilton's Katie Beth Dahlem was just one-one hundredth of a point behind Hastings with a 3.95 GPA.
NickiWhitten (Booneville) helped the Lady Tiger softball team have three Distinguished Academic awards with a 3.90 GPA while Raleigh Downs (Booneville) 3.77; Ellen Tarrant (New Albany) 3.76; Haley Knepp (Kossuth) 3.75; KimberlyJumper (Etta) 3.67; Kelsie Follin (Kossuth) 3.61; Claire Wilkerson (Myrtle)3.57 and Madeline Hickman (Booneville) 3.53 rounded out the 10 softball players that received awards from the MACJC.
On the women's tennis side, Marcey Anne Sykes of Iuka was awarded a Distinguished Academic honor for a perfect 4.0 grade point average while Emily Burk (Holly Springs) had a 3.61; Leigh Ann Mock (Belmont) finished with a 3.34 and Monica Pruitt (Corinth) marked in a 3.25 GPA for the 2011-12 academic year.
Alexander made the most of the Lady Tigers two selections for the women's basketball team with both Bree Harris (New Site) and Anna Brooke Page (Belmont) picking up Distinguished Academic awards. Harris finished with a 3.96 GPA while Page had a 3.89 grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
On the men's side, Kent Farris' baseball team led the way with three selections – all Distinguished Academic Award honorees.
Pontotoc's Blake Littlejohn was just one of 16 student-athletes in the state to record a perfect 4.0 while Booneville's Drew Cristo had a 3.9 grade point average. Kyle Stephenson of Booneville kept the baseball streak alive with a 3.84 grade point average.
Mike Anderson's golf team sported a pair of honorees from the MACJC with Booneville's Easton Cartwright finishing with a 3.37 grade point average and Taylor Trimble (Thrasher) sporting a 3.3 GPA.
Smither picked up two more selections to the MACJC Academic team as two Tiger tennis players were awarded for their work in the classroom.
Corinth's Ben Nhek was named a Distinguished Academic with a 3.82 GPA while Booneville's Taylor Dees finished with a 3.56 GPA.

After the drone.abuse.ch FastFlux Tracker (link) and the httpBL.abuse.ch Web abuse Tracker (link) I'm proud to announce another Tracking system. Introducing:
I will just give you a short overview here about the function and the idea behind the abuse.ch ZeuS Tracker.
What is ZeuS?
For those which are reading my blog frequently you will know this trojan from my previous posts. For all others: ZeuS is a crimeware kit, which steals credentials for various online services like social networks, online banking accounts, ftp accounts, email accounts and other. The trojan is also known as Zbot and WSNPoem.
How to get infected?
The ZeuS trojan spears on email as well via Drive-By infections (using toolkits like LuckySploit, El fiesta and so on).
What is the abuse.ch ZeuS Tracker?
The abuse.ch ZeuS Tracker provides you the possiblity to track ZeuS Command & Control servers (C&C). The tracker captures and track the ZeuS hosts aswell as the associated config files, binaries and dropezones. The main focus is to provide system administrators the possiblity to block well-known ZeuS hosts and avoid ZeuS infections in their networks. Therefore you can download a ZeuS domain blocklist and a ZeuS IP blocklist. Additionally the ZeuS Tracker should help CERTs and ISPs to track malicious ZeuS hosts in their networks / countries.
Where can I find the ZeuS Tracker
You can find the ZeuS Tracker on https://zeustracker.abuse.ch (It's on https, not http).
What is the ZeuS blocklist?
The ZeuS blocklist lists all ZeuS hosts which are currently beeing tracket on the ZeuS tracker. The blocklist is available on the ZeuS Tracker webpage. Additionally, the domains are included in the Malware Domain List (MDL).
What else?
- The ZeuS Tracker is currently in BETA. So if you have any problems or further ideas please let me know (contact).
- Don't be affright, there are currently over 200 ZeuS hosts which are beeing tracked by the ZeuS Tracker.
- You can submit new ZeuS hosts to the ZeuS Tracker using the submit form.
- A RSS feed for the ZeuS Tracker is available (Subscribe to ZeuS Tracker RSS feed).

Program Goals
Art (Studio) Major
Upon completion of the major, graduates must
- be visually literate, including competency with the non-verbal languages of art and design,
- develop visual, verbal and written responses to visual phenomena, and organize perceptions and conceptualizations both rationally and intuitively,
- develop the capacity to identify and solve problems within a variety of physical, technological, social and cultural contexts,
- be familiar with and develop competence in a number of art or design techniques,

As per the National Association of Schools of Art & Design (NASAD) Accrediting Agency Handbook
Art Education
Performance of students in initial teacher preparation programs is measured through outcomes that are aligned with the four themes of the FSEHD Conceptual Framework and the Rhode Island Professional Teacher Standards (RIPTS).
FSEHD Conceptual Framework :
General Education
Reflective practitioners possess a broad base of knowledge in the liberal arts, including mastery of oral and written English communication, mathematical and reasoning skills, and technological competence as well as a global perspective that emphasizes people's interdependence with one another and with nature.
Human Learning and Development
Reflective practitioners have a solid grounding in educational psychology, the branch of psychology that specializes in understanding teaching and learning in educational settings. They know the four pillars of educational psychology: human development, theories of learning and cognition, classroom management, and assessment.
Contexts of Schooling
Reflective practitioners possess a critical understanding of the contexts of schooling: social, political, economic, historical, philosophical, legal, professional, global, and cultural.
Area of Specialization
Reflective practitioners possess a deep, thorough, and, above all, working knowledge of their area(s) of specialization, enabling them to make informed decisions to approach curriculum implementation.
Theory and Practice of Teaching and Learning
Reflective practitioners employ a variety of models of teaching and learning. Best practice entails a balance between pedagogical approaches.
Instructional Uses of Technology
Reflective practitioners integrate technology into curricula, instruction, and assessment of students to cerate high quality learning experiences and instructional opportunities.
Assessment as an Aid to Practice
Assessment is primarily a means for determining the relative success of teaching and counseling interventions for the purpose of improving them in the future. In other words, assessment is used as a tool for reflection and subsequent planning.
Cultural Diversity and Multicultural Education
Reflective educators are knowledgeable of both the differences that distinguish individuals and groups and the commonalities that bind them together. They understand and respond to the diverse needs and backgrounds of students, clients, and families and develop strategies for combating prejudice and advancing educational equity, inclusion, and intercultural understanding.
Special Needs and Inclusion
Reflective practitioners are aware of the impact of disability on the teaching-learning process and are responsive to the individual strengths and needs of children and youth with a range of disabilities. They understand the effect that disability has on family functioning, and they can work effectively with parents in program planning. In order to function effectively in an inclusive environment, reflective practitioners must also collaborate with professionals from all disciplines when making educational decisions. They examine their own cultural and family background as it pertains to disability, reflecting on the impact of their beliefs and behavior on the classroom setting, counseling situation, or planning session, making adjustments as necessary. They are prepared not only to be responsive to students' adapted curriculum, instruction, and learning needs but also to make curriculum adaptations and instructional modifications on-the-spot to accommodate students' needs.
Professional Ethics
Ethics are principles of conduct used to guide an individual's behavior. Ethical principles guide practitioners as they determine aims and objectives; select content and materials; plan and implement methods and strategies; conduct non-discriminatory evaluations of students, clients, and staff; reflect on their choices and actions; and take responsibility for the consequences. Reflective practitioners accept the professional, social, ethical, and moral responsibilities and reap the personal rewards of being a teacher in a democratic, pluralistic society.
Collaboration and Advocacy
Reflective practitioners recognize that schools, families and communities must work together, and educators must collaborate within schools, to support student and client learning and growth, and to promote democratic values in their own communities and beyond.
Professional Development
Reflective practitioners consciously plan, implement, and reflect upon their own professional growth, as well as that of the profession. Committed professionals actively participate in a wide variety of educational opportunities.
The Rhode Island Professional Teaching Standards (RIPTS)
- Teachers create learning experiences using a broad base of general knowledge that reflects an understanding of the nature of the communities and world in which we live.
- Teachers have a deep content knowledge base sufficient to create learning experiences that reflect an understanding of central concepts, vocabulary, structures, and tools of inquiry of the disciplines/content areas they teach.
- Teachers create instructional opportunities that reflect an understanding of how children learn and develop.
- Teachers create instructional opportunities that reflect a respect for the diversity of learners and an understanding of how students differ in their approaches to learning.
- Teachers create instructional opportunities to encourage all students' development of critical thinking, problem solving, performance skills, and literacy across content areas.
- Teachers create a supportive learning environment that encourages appropriate standards of behavior, positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation.
- Teachers work collaboratively with all school personnel, families and the broader community to create a professional learning community and environment that supports the improvement of teaching, learning and student achievement.
- Teachers use effective communication as the vehicle through which students explore, conjecture, discuss, and investigate new ideas.
- Teachers use appropriate formal and informal assessment strategies with individuals and groups of students to determine the impact of instruction on learning, to provide feedback, and to plan future instruction.
- Teachers reflect on their practice and assume responsibility for their own professional development by actively seeking and participating in opportunities to learn and grow as professionals.
- Teachers maintain professional standards guided by legal and ethical principles.
* All programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
Art History
Upon completion of the major, graduates must have attained
- a general knowledge of the monuments and principal artists of all major art periods of the past, including a broad understanding of the art of the twentieth century and acquaintance with the art history of non-Western cultures,
- a general knowledge of world history,
- knowledge of the tools and techniques of scholarship,
- functional knowledge of the creative process and
- adequate mastery of at least one foreign language to support research through the reading of primary source materials, as is appropriate to a student's areas of interest.

go with the large RTK, You won't be sorry!
i've got the large and my CLM is right at 75 lbs. He's got a little more room than i thought he would. wish i would of had a dealer to test them before i bought mine. i might would of went with the intermediate for road trips as he can get thrown from side to side course that might be his handler's fancy driving skills. if its strictly a house kennel then large is the way to go. if he wouldnt chew every floor covering i've put down then he would have something to grip so right now he's got smooth floors too though
but like everyone said well worth the money! get the handles kit if you are getting a large. i was gonna go with the tray but someone suggested handles and that was def the way to go as they are right around 50lbs
edit: i will say he has become smart when we go on trips that everything is a lot easier for him if he justs sit down so just like he has become "collar wise" he's also become "kennel wise". so the days of him actually getting thrown around are behind us

My dogs range from 65 tp 75 pounds and we have the intermediate. Since we use it for travel, (have a two hole box and ended up with three dogs) it is the perfect size for all of them as they have enough room to stand and turn around, but not so much that they can get thrown around! And for the record, I have not been to outer space. Seems like we just had a visitor from there for about 3 posts. Gone now. I do live in NM though, think I'm attracting them?

Mud River Covers. They make several different kinds. I went to ND duck hunting in Oct & I live in FL Kept my dog outside in rearof SUV at night in low teens & snow. She was warm in mornings when I let her out. Mud Riverer covers have a lot of dog/handler pockets that help keep you organized.

Ok I got the intermediate crate with the handle kit!!
Thanks guys
Rought tough kennel. I got a large for my female golden. She is 8 months old and about 50 lbs, I think the size is perfect. Mud river makes pads and covers for them.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Were it not for the lightsaber in Haunted Mansion, they could have filmed that yesterday day in the Disneyland park since they have those Vader and Stormtrooper costumes working daily on Jedi Training Academy, that's weird.
That said, you make a good point, this better not be the future of SW, making it all cute and Disneyfied.
Jeez, did Mickey hit you guys over the head with one of his magic brooms and give you amnesia? They used this as an ad for the reopening of Star Tours in 2011. Originally, Vader goes to Star Tours but it's not open yet so he decides to go have fun elsewhere in the park. At the end of the spot, he goes back, uses the Force to remove the ropes and "Opening Soon" signs, and storms in to the tune of the Imperial March, and the title card reveals that the ride is open now. So the original video maintains Vader's strong side, playing the cutesy stuff against it.
Lucasfilm has been whoring out Darth Vader long before Disney took over, so I really have a hard time getting upset about something like this.
The future of the franchise will be nothing like this, as this is a Disney Parks advertisement and is meant to be funny. Seriously, the Internet as a whole really needs to calm down. Disney has handled the Marvel property very well, it's more popular now than it has ever been. In fact, when they bought Marvel, people said the same sort of things. Everything will be fine and the best part is more Star Wars movies, a Star Wars TV series (Lucas said he was looking for an outlet for it, since Disney owns ABC, I guess they have their outlet) and who knows, maybe one day we will get an entire Star Wars theme park.
It was always easy to ignore all of that Disney nonsense...after all, they've "partnered" with Lucasfilm for years with stuff at the theme parks...but there was always "everything else" about SW...the Diz stuff was just a fraction of it. Now, it's gonna be the whole thing. It's not something I'm looking forward to for the saga...at least there's the memories...
I know it's been re-used but it's still a "new" ad from Disney regarding the purchase...
Eh, I think it's funny. If Robot Chicken Star Wars isn't canon, there's room for Disney to have fun with the characters in stuff like this while doing more serious stuff with them.
