Poet, critic Susan Stewart earns Truman Capote Award
Posted September 10, 2004; 12:37 a.m.
Poet and critic Susan Stewart has been chosen for the 2004 Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism in Memory of Newton Arvin.
Stewart, a professor of English at Princeton, won the award for "Poetry and the Fate of the Senses," published in 2002 by the University of Chicago Press. The $50,000 Capote Award, the largest annual cash prize for literary criticism in the English language, is administered for the Truman Capote estate by the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop.
Stewart will receive the award and read from her poetry collection "Columbarium," which earlier this year won the National Book Critics Circle Award, on Sept. 17 at the University of Iowa.
"Poetry and the Fate of the Senses" examines the role of the senses in the creation and reception of poetry. The book was selected for the Capote Award by an international panel of prominent critics and writers. Books of general literary criticism in English, published during the last four years, are eligible for the award.
Stewart's other books of criticism include "On Longing: Narratives of the Miniature, the Gigantic, the Souvenir, the Collection"; "Crimes of Writing: Problems in the Containment of Representation"; and "Nonsense: Aspects of Intertextuality in Folklore and Literature." Her collected essays on art, "The Open Studio: Essays in Art and Aesthetics," is forthcoming from the University of Chicago Press. She also co-translated Euripides' "Andromache" with Wesley Smith, and the poetry and prose of the Scuola Romana painter Scipione with Brunella Antomarini.
Stewart is the recipient of a Lila Wallace Individual Writer's Award, two grants in poetry from the National Endowment in the Arts, a Pew Fellowship for the Arts and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the MacArthur Foundation.
Stewart joined the Princeton faculty this summer. She had been the Donald T. Regan Professor in English at the University of Pennsylvania since 1997 and, prior to that, was a faculty member at Temple University since 1978. She teaches the history of poetry and aesthetics at Princeton.

Disposing of Waste Properly is a key element in Leaving No Trace.
Trash and litter in the back country ranks high as a problem in the minds of many back country visitors. Trash and litter are human impacts that can greatly detract from the naturalness of an area.
Planning can reduce the impact that you make. Reduce litter at the source. Most trash and litter comes from meals or food items. By planning and preparing your meals prior to the start of your trek, you can reduce the litter you need to pack out. Removing packaging materials, cans, and bulky trash is the answer. Repackaging into zip lock backs, pre mixing items, and preparing portions will reduce your trash in and trash out.
Along with prepackaging or repacking, keeping your menus simple will also help. Do not count on fires to rid yourself of trash. Some areas do not allow fires and some trash will not completely consume in fires.
Here are some estimated life expectancies for different types of litter:
It takes 2 to 4 weeks for Newspaper dissolve.
2 to 5 years for a cigarette butt.
10 to 20 years for a disposable diaper.
20 to 30 years for a hard plastic container (milk jug).
50 to 80 years for the rubber sole of a boot.
80 to 100 years for a tin can.
200 to 400 years for an aluminum can.
and it takes thousands of years for glass bottles to recycle on its own.
Think of the lasting impact of litter and trash. Packing it out with you can reduce this and leave the wilderness clean and pristine for the next group.
Happy Scouting!

A new day dawns, maybe it'll be a false dawn maybe not. As I write my eldest son, Anthony 2.5 years, is lying in bed with a temperature and I'm checking him every half hour or so to see if he improves. My youngest son, Thomas 9 weeks, is being nursed by his mother downstairs infront of the telly. Too much information I know but it'll put you in the picture as to why I'm sitting infront of my machine thinking and maybe doing something about the future. I've been considering a lot of things recently, like where am I going and what am I doing, probably a case of mid-life crisis. Still I'm only really examining my situation and thinking about what I'd like to be doing from here on in.
For a couple of years now I've been increasingly aware of and making use of open source software, I'm fairly familiar with RedHat, Debian, GCC, CVS, ICU, and Xerces-C from a user's perspective and have an interest in Faq-O-Matic, MySQL, and cpptools at home. The trouble is I don't see how I can best approach anyone to offer any services I may have.
I've recently bought the Feller and Fitzgerald book, Understanding Open Source Software Development, and found a link to this site from their support pages. On first look, 2 hours, this seems to be just the kind of place I have been wanting to find, without really realizing it.
I'm going to certify myself as an Observer for the forseeable future because I can't rightfully say that I've knowingly contributed anything to the community so far. There are a couple of bugs I'm planning to report in CVS but I'm going to do some more research before possibly entering a duplicate.
I'm also about to update my personal details to provide a little more detail about myself incase anyone is interested in what I do and where I've been.
I won't guarantee to come back here too often, it depends upon the family situation, but I will endeavour to check back once a week to update my diary and make it more relevant.

MSI Announces Windows 8-Powered Slider S20 Ultrabook Convertible

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The Slider S20 will make its way to consumers in Q1 2013 for $1,199.99 USD
While Windows 8
hasn't had the best sales record
in Microsoft OS history, more devices continue to roll onto store shelves in hopes of attracting customers, and MSI Computer Corp. is adding one more to that list.
MSI announced the Slider S20 Ultrabook Convertible, which is a new
Windows 8-powered device
that claims to be both slim and powerful.
The Slider S20 features 8GB of DDR3 memory, 128GB of SSD storage, 1920x1080 resolution, a weight of 2.2 pounds, a 1-inch thick body and a slew of connectivity options like a Jackson Peak Wireless adapter, Ethernet, Bluetooth, a mini HDMI-out connector, a 720p HD webcam and two USB3 ports.
"Many users prefer the mobility of a tablet, but still need the processing power of an actual laptop computer," said Andy Tung, vice president of sales for MSI US. "MSI's S20 Ultrabook Convertible solves that problem by combining the best of both worlds, giving users the choice of using it as a tablet or as a laptop."
The Slider S20 will make its way to consumers in Q1 2013 for $1,199.99 USD.
Microsoft's latest operating system could use some help in the device sales department. It was recently reported that Windows 8 usage has sunk below Windows Vista levels, which is a bad sign early on considering Vista was one of the most-hated Microsoft operating systems.
Windows 8 was released in October 2012.
Not long ago, Microsoft said that it had
sold 40 million licenses
, which it said surpassed sales of Windows 7 for an equivalent period in 2009. But license sales were not actual device sales.
Market research group Net Applications found
that Windows 8 accounted for a mere 1.72 percent of traffic
at the end of December. Three weeks after its 2009 launch, Windows 7 grabbed 4 percent of the OS market.
Vista reported about 2.2 percent of the total traffic after its first two months of release, which is about a third more than Windows 8's current percentage

"Game reviewers fought each other to write the most glowing coverage possible for the powerhouse Sony, MS systems. Reviewers flipped coins to see who would review the Nintendo Wii. The losers got stuck with the job." -- Andy Marken

This movie might be kind of scary to see. "Dragon Day"
http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/...llectuals.htmlWhile some might take comfort in the fact that this is "just a movie," according to Defense Tech, an American-designed, Chinese-made microchip used in defense applications was recently discovered to have a virus hardwired into it. The article states:
Basically, Chinese cyber spies can use the chip's built-in malware to decipher military passcodes and gain remote access to the chip and reprogram it to do their bidding; 'permitting a new and disturbing possibility of a large-scale Stuxnet-type attack via a network or the Internet on the silicon itself,'...
This discovery has led experts to worry that all Chinese manufactured chips may have similar vulnerabilities

The roof of my mouth is abnormally narrow (suppose to wear an expander...oh well) and mouth calls have been impossible for me to pick up as I can't seal the air off.
I figured out that I can produce noises by bending the metal frame of the call so it will form to the roof of my mouth. The problem then becomes, the latex gets stretched out.
I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for my issue.

What is a viral respiratory infection?
A viral respiratory infection is a contagious illness that can affect your respiratory tract (breathing) and cause other symptoms. The flu and the common cold are examples of viral respiratory infections. Other examples of respiratory viruses are:
- Chickenpox (varicella)
- Fifth disease
- Cytomegalovirus (say: "si-to-meg-ah-low-vi-russ")
- Rubella (also called German measles)
What if I'm exposed to a viral respiratory infection when I'm pregnant?
Pregnant women can be exposed to people with viral infections at work and at home. Most of the time, the woman doesn't get infected. Even if she does, most viruses won't hurt her baby. However, some viruses can cause miscarriage or birth defects in the baby.
If you're exposed to a person who has chickenpox, fifth disease, cytomegalovirus or rubella while you're pregnant, you should tell your doctor right away. Your doctor will want to know how much contact you've had with the infected person.
Here are some questions your doctor may ask you:
- Did you touch or kiss the infected person
- How long were you in contact with the infected person?
- When did the infected person get sick?
- Did a doctor diagnose the infected person's illness? Were any tests done?
What should I do if I'm exposed to chickenpox?
Chickenpox is caused by the varicella virus and is highly contagious. It can be serious during pregnancy. Sometimes, chickenpox can cause birth defects. If you've had chickenpox in the past, it is unlikely you will catch it again and your baby will be fine. If you have not had chickenpox or if you're not sure, you should see your doctor right away. Your doctor will test your blood to see if you are immune.
Many people who don't remember having chickenpox are immune anyway. If your blood test shows that you're not immune, you can take medicines to make your illness less severe and possibly help protect your baby from chickenpox.
What should I do if I'm exposed to fifth disease?
Fifth disease is a common virus in children. Half of all adults are susceptible to fifth disease and can catch it from children.
Children who have fifth disease usually develop a rash on their body and have cold-like symptoms. They may have red cheeks that look like they've been slapped or pinched. Adults who get fifth disease don't usually have the "slapped cheek" rash. Adults who contract fifth disease usually have very sore joints.
If you get fifth disease early in your pregnancy, you could have a miscarriage. Fifth disease can also cause birth defects in your baby (such as severe anemia). If you're exposed to fifth disease, call your doctor. Your doctor may have you take a blood test to see if you're immune. You may also need an ultrasound exam to see if the baby has been infected.
What if I'm exposed to cytomegalovirus?
Cytomegalovirus usually doesn't cause any symptoms, so you probably won't know if you have it. It's the most common infection that can be passed from mother to baby. Cytomegalovirus affects 1 of every 100 pregnant women. It can cause birth defects (such as hearing loss, development disabilities or even death of the fetus).
It's important to prevent cytomegalovirus because there's no way to treat it. Women who work in day care centers and in a health care setting have the highest risk of getting infected. Pregnant women with these jobs should wash their hands after handling diapers and avoid nuzzling or kissing the babies. If you think you've been exposed to a person who has cytomegalovirus, you should see your doctor right away.
What if I'm exposed to rubella (German measles)?
Since 1969, almost all children have had the rubella vaccine, so it is a rare disease today. At the first prenatal visit, all pregnant women should be tested to see if they're immune to rubella. Women who are not immune to rubella should get the vaccine after the baby is born. It's even better to be tested before you get pregnant, so that you can get the vaccine if you need it.
If you're exposed to rubella when you're pregnant and are not immune, severe birth defects or death of the fetus can occur. Symptoms of rubella in adults are typically joint pain and occasionally an ear infection. Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing these symptoms.
What if I'm exposed to influenza?
Influenza hardly ever causes birth defects. It can be more serious for the mother if she gets the flu while pregnant. You might get very sick. If you'll be pregnant during the flu season (from October through March), you should get a flu shot in the fall.
A note about vaccines
Sometimes the amount of a certain vaccine cannot keep up with the number of people who need it. Read here about vaccine shortages.
What about other viral infections?
Most other respiratory viruses (such as regular measles, mumps, roseola, mononucleosis ["mono"] and bronchiolitis) don't seem to increase the normal risk for birth defects. In normal pregnancies, the risk of serious birth defects is only 2% to 3%. To protect yourself from all infectious viruses, wash your hands frequently (especially after using the restroom or before a meal).

Why the makers of the device would deviate from the I2C protocol is beyond me,
but I would like to solve the issue.
I can share the datasheet.
QuoteWhy the makers of the device would deviate from the I2C protocol is beyond me, To avoid licensing payments?Quotebut I would like to solve the issue.There is really no issue to solve: you just pretend it is an i2c-compliant device but disregard the NACK signal.
QuoteI can share the datasheet.Which clearly shows that it is a i2c compliant device, with ACK / NACK signal.
This means all bits shift one bit to the left.
QuoteThis means all bits shift one bit to the left. You probably want to read up on the i2c protocol.
The acknowledge takes place after every byte. The acknowledge bit allows the receiver tosignal the transmitter that the byte was successfully received and another byte may besent. The master generates all clock pulses, including the acknowledge ninth clock pulse.
All data packets transmitted on the TWI bus are nine bits long, consisting of one data byte and an acknowledge bit.

Most of you were probably too busy personally livetweeting last night's Grammy Awards to actually watch the performances or pay attention to what pop stars said about the show via Twitter, so we've compiled a highlight reel for both:

When the award for Best New Artist went not to MGMT but a country group instead, the collective Twitterverse spewed forth great frothy gobbets of outrage -- everyone except Keri Hilson, that is.

Things got interesting last week at the State Capitol. Some Republican lawmakers seek to deliver on the anti-immigration fervor they believe motivates the Tea Party elements in their base.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed Thursday, Sept. 30, through laboratory tests, the first case of Ebola to be diagnosed in the United States in a person who had traveled to Dallas from Liberia. The patient did not have symptoms when leaving West Africa but developed symptoms approximately four days after arriving in the U.S. on Sept. 20.

Special to The Examiner
The day was perfect for a crowd of more than 3,000, with blue skies and a canopy of white clouds. The dedication of the Texas Vietnam Memorial on March 29 on the Capitol grounds in Austin was a day that seemed blessed, not only because of the weather but also for the nine years it took to complete a monument to recognize those so well deserving.
It was the usual crowd for Gov. Rick Perry's annual State of the State address at the capitol – a joint session of the Texas Legislature with House members joined by Senators on chairs set up in the aisle of the House chamber, various state officials, staffers and reporters alongside tourists and various delegations in town for the day, all gathered to hear what the longest-serving governor in Texas history had to say now.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

I Need Some Wacom Advice Please
Posted 16 November 2012 - 12:32 PM
He is very talented and quite the artist - his drawings are very detailed and I don't know where to start with the Wacom.
Anyone have any suggestions for the best tablet I should buy?
Posted 16 November 2012 - 12:47 PM
Posted 16 November 2012 - 02:42 PM
There are bigger tablets than mine and ones with more features and bells and whistles, but this one works great for me. I use it to navigate, paint/draw in various programs and arrange LOs.
I hope you find one that fits your family's needs. (But, truly, if you get one -- hide that mouse and force yourself to acclimate to your pen.)

I would suggest the Bamboo Splash. It retails for about $79 and should be just the thing for paper-to-digital art beginners. There are other models above the Splash that would be good for those with intermediate ability. Either way, I'd stick with the Bamboo line vs. the Intuos or Cintiq which are quite pricey and have bells & whistles which most likely wouldn't be used by kids and adolescents who are just starting out. Good luck and let us know what you decide.
Thanks, Katherine - after doing some research after reading these posts, I think you are right recommending the Splash - think I'm going to go for that one.
I am sure Chris can do wonderful things with this........I really appreciate your help!

Video feature: 'Student work: U-Bikes and Cyclab'
Posted September 20, 2010; 12:00 p.m.
This video profiles Princeton's U-Bikes program and the Cyclab, which support sustainable transportation on campus. U-Bikes is a student-run organization that rents refurbished bicycles to students, faculty and staff for $15 per semester. The Cyclab, a cooperative repair shop, maintains the bicycles used by the U-Bikes group.
The video was created by Chris Hipser of the class of 2011, Jarlath Byrne Rogers of the class of 2010 and Christina Campodonico of the class of 2013 as part of an intensive summer documentary production course run by the Student Environmental Communication Network. The Office of Sustainability operates the network, which is supported by funds from the High Meadows Foundation.

F'rinstance: It's late October, and you're jonesing for the aforementioned Celebration. You call a few of the Bigger Stores, they all say sorry, we don't have it yet. Then you see it on the Facebook page of a small store in Providence. You call to confirm that it hasn't sold out. Yep, they have it. A few hours later, you're at Madeira Liquors on Ives Street in Providence. "Do you have any cold Celebration?" "Yes, I put it in the cooler when you called." Service above and beyond! You're an instant convert! And as you soon learn that they consistently get new beers in stock before the Bigger Stores, you realize it's one of the best "little" liquor stores in the state! Huzzah! (And the liquor-related literary quotes they regularly post on their Facebook page are edifying.)
And: You settle into a booth at Boneyard Barbecue & Saloon in Seekonk and glance at the tap handles, expecting to order the usual, Berkshire Brewing Company's Lost Sailor IPA (one of those reliable pleasures) . . . and you do a triple-take when you see Tröegs' Nugget Nectar — the celebrated imperial amber — for $3.75 a pint! A genuine and rare treat — the finest kind. Huzzah!
And: You've passed the place a hundred times, the curious, sprawling farmhouse on Route 117 in Warwick with the series of lawn signs declaring the goodness to be found inside. One of the signs trumpets the beer selection. So you make a visit to the Tree House Tavern & Bistro at Ferns and Flowers, and discover the delight of the eclectic rooms, the inventive and luscious menu, the engaging staff and, yes, a beer list worth trumpeting, with five well-chosen draft offerings and dozens of bottles, big and small. You toast the find with a Ballast Point Big Eye IPA. Huzzah!
And: You're standing in the overwhelming beer aisle at Yankee Spirits, dazed by the sensory overload. You've just happened to stop in the New England section, and realize that fresh bottles of Maine Beer's Lunch are on the shelf. Lunch! Which has been bruited as a contender for the Best IPA In the World!! (Or, you know, not; potato, potahto). You grab three Lunches, savor them over the next few days, and hope to encounter Lunch again soon (yeah, it's pretty damn good; world-class, exceptional, awesome, whatever the consensus term is at this moment). Huzzah!

Shares of Nabors Industries (NBR) were falling 5.5% in after hours trading, following the energy driller's disappointing second-quarter forecast.
The company said that it expects second-quarter results to miss analysts' expectations; it guided for operating income between $88 million and $91 million.
According to Nabors, the shortfall is due to lower sales and adverse weather conditions that negatively impacted its Rig Services and Completion and Production Services divisions, respectively.
The stock is up about 23% in the past year, just edging ahead of the S&P 500's performance.

- Description
This is an exposure of the Catoctin formation at Point of Rocks in Maryland, on the north bank of the Potomac River. Point of Rocks is a prominent water gap cut by the Potomac River. The Catoctin formation is Neoproterozoic in age and was erupted as a series of flood basalts during the breakup of the Mesoproterozoic supercontinent Rodinia, and the opening of the Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic aged Iapetus Ocean basin. It overlies the basement complex at the core of the Blue Ridge Anticlinorium. In many places, clastic sedimentary rock occurs between the basement and the Catoctin. A simplified stratigraphic section may be seen here: web.wm.edu/geology/virginia/provinces/Blueridge/blue_ridge_strat.html The Catoctin was metamorphosed during Alleghanian mountain-building in the late Paleozoic (during the closure of the Iapetus and the assembly of the supercontinent Pangaea). This metamorphism imparted the characteristic green color as a result of the growth of the minerals chlorite and epidote. The image was taken from the public boat ramp on the Virginia side of the Potomac looking north into Maryland along the strike of the eastern limb of the anticlinorium. This area exhibits numerous veins of milky quartz. The western boundary of the Mesozoic Culpeper Basin lies just to the east of this site, an ancient rift valley that formed as Pangaea broke apart and the Atlantic Ocean basin began opening.
The United States Geologic Survey maintains a stream gauge just downstream of the bridge, where data are collected on the Potomac's discharge: waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/uv?01638500

No. I don't have a DVR.
Maybe I should get one, but I watch very little TV. Let's see:
Sun - Breaking Bad
Mon - nothing (usually out watching football at a bar or something)
Tue - Sons of Anarchy
Wed - nothing
Thu - nothing
Fri - Smallville (but likely to skip it for going out Friday night)
Fri - Clone Wars (used to skipping it for going out Friday night)
Sat - nothing
So to get a DVR to record 4 (or less) TV shows? I haven't been so inclined.
I got a Direct TV package before they started offering DVRs too, I guess. It's still extra. But I buy the seasons (Smallville and Clone Wars anyway) on DVD, so I eventually see them all.
Besides, SoA will repeat Monday night before they show the new episode next Tues.
Feel free to post spoilers. It doesn't matter to me. I'll read and discuss them anyway. For example, I already know that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father.

Newbie here!
Hey folks!
I'm an absolute noob to the forums as well as to the hobby.
I recently became interested in aquariums after seeing some different setups (giant saltwater reef... small fluval planted desktop). I tend to jump into things I'm very interested in, but considering the amount of research and work that goes into a healthy aquarium environment, I've been taking my time. I did research for a few weeks, and finally purchased an aquarium Friday after work.
I have a Marineland 20 gallon setup. I have it set up and running -- filter, heater, gravel, airstone, some decorations and artificial plants for now. I set this all up last night, took me three hours! I wasn't expecting that!!
Anyway, everything seemed to be working well so I tested my water and began my fishless cycle today (with ammonia from Ace). The heater is set warm (low-mid 80s) and the air stone is on full blast (air pump rated for 40g). I'm keeping an Excel spreadsheet with my test results so that I don't lose track of what happened and what's going on now.
There are still small things I need to do ... put a background on the tank, install a new thermometer (I don't trust the sticky one on the side of the tank). I actually have a floaty (mercury?) one and a digital one on the way. I ordered from Amazon for some of the less time-critical items, so I will have a little bit to do each day as the deliveries start rolling in.
Fish? Man. That's where I'm really stumped!
pH tested at about 7 today, and the water was "soft" .. not hard, not very soft, just a nice middle ground.
I'm trying to avoid the tendency of beginners to want to overstock their tank. Already I see the allure of having a larger tank, and I can see my next step being a 55 gallon. (My friend has already called dibs on my 1-day-old 20 gallon tank... Like I'm going to give it up!)
I've been using aqadvisor to generally look at temperature, pH, and other compatibility with different species of fish.
My thoughts so far:
- Start with a small school (~6-8?) of Cherry Barbs
- Introduce a couple (~4?) ghost shrimp
- Introduce a couple (3?) Silver Mollies (2 female, 1 male)
- Introduce 2 German Blue Ram (my "showcase" fishies)
And that's pretty much capacity. Filtration should be sufficient, but I can always pick up a second filter if needed. Introducing the species one at a time should help me prevent overcrowding. Aqadvisor says I'm fine, but I'd really like to see it for myself. Better than having to return fish to the store.
There is a great local shop (not a petsmart or petco) where I can source all of those except the ghost shrimp. I will be stopping by to check them out -- see how well they maintain their tanks and how the interact with their customers as well as their fishies.
And eventually, yes, I'll be upgrading to a larger tank. I just want to make sure 1) I have time for this; 2) I like it; 3) I'm good at it. So far though, I'm mesmerized by my fishless tank... So that probably covers the "liking it."
Pretty sure I'm already an addict! When I find new hobbies I tend to latch on and go bigger and better. Thankfully the cycling process will keep me in check for the next month or so... :D
Well, that was a novella. Thanks for reading!
Also, I've been lurking for a while, reading, soaking it all in. I must say this seems to be the friendliest and most knowledgeable forum around for this type of community. Thanks for that!

Thanks for the warm welcome folks!
Looking at all the beautiful tanks folks around here have is very encouraging. I know we all started somewhere.
My tank is currently planted with artificial, and I think it's very pretty (in my humble opinion!).. But I can definitely see the draw of having a planted tank. Like everything about this hobby, I'm trying, very patiently, to take this one step at a time. I think trying to keep thriving plants is an added step I should take later. Possibly in my next tank.
I was considering asking a LFS to sell/give me some filter material or substrate to help get my tank cycled... And then I remembered my coworker has several tanks. I might ask him if he has anything at all to spare. He has the small fluval tank at work (with a couple neon tetras, ghost shrimp, and some strange looking frogs!), and while it's too small for my tastes, I think it's pretty cute. I drilled him for information a couple weeks back, and he didn't seem to understand the point of fishless cycling. But I'm sure I can talk him into parting with something....
Otherwise it's just the testing and waiting game!
Love seeing an intro like this. Bravo for researching and planning your tank so thoroughly. Your future fish will thank you for it.
I like AqAdvisor to a point, but I found out that some of the temps for their fish and other info listed are wrong. Now that you have narrowed it down to some specific types of fish that you like, you'll find the profiles at Seriouslyfish.com to be very detailed and they will help you better understand the environment your fish will thrive in the most.
Watch in....in a couple months time you'll have a wealth of knowledge about tanks and your coworker friend will be coming to you for advice :)~Manna

Also, I know that real plants seem like quite an undertaking, but here's my two cents on that.
When I first inherited my tank it had bright pink gravel, a fake rock cave and 3 or 4 plastic artificial plants. I thought it was pretty cool looking, but further reading made me realize that the bright pink gravel was not the preferred substrate of choice for my fish. I ended up swapping it out for black aquarium sand, which I liked much better. Then I went and got driftwood because I thought it was prettier than the fake rock cave. After making those two transformations I realized that I might as well just throw in some live plants and see how they did. I went to the fish store and bought an Anubias, Java Fern and an Amazon Sword and a bottle of Seachem Flourish fertilizer.
I threw them all in the tank and they took off! The java ferns grew new baby plants and the sword got so big I had to cut it down for it to stay in my tank. I was pleased about how easy it actually was to plant!
Here's the kicker.....my fish look 10x better with the real plants in there than they did with the fake. Their colors pop brightly against the green vegetation. I don't know why, my fake plants were green too, but it literally seemed like their colors became more vibrant and they really seem to enjoy the plants, as weird as that sounds.~Manna

I am continuing my 3 3/4" vehicle thread series.
This will discuss ONLY the vehicle in the title of the thread (in this case A Larger TIE Bomber from ESB).
I will cover several unmade vehicles for the action figures per week, choosing them from a rotating schedule through the movies and the Expanded Universe.
I'll order it TPM, AOTC, ROTS, ANH, ESB, ROTJ, EU, and then keep going back through the order in that manner.
So here I'm only asking you if you'd buy A Larger TIE Bomber from ESB?
This poll is for a complete re-mold. You can vote for a re-release of the 2001 POTJ mold if you want to see that happen, but I am planning on discussing "the big one."
The ship would look the same at first glance - only being bigger. On the bomb loading side, a magazine of 5 larger torpedo-shaped bombs could be stored, with a release to drop them 1 at a time via a hinge release. Or - you could just hold that open to "carpet bomb." 4 firing missiles would be added - two on the front of each of the twin pods that comprise the ship's body.
The cockpit would seat 3 figures: a pilot, a navigator, and a bombardier - probably in a straight line to save space on the toy. Batteries for electronics could go in the back of the cockpit section for the usual lights and sound effects we desperately want on our TIEs.
The bomber side could have the bombs removed and fold down seats for troops. These crafts were also used as boarding vehicles for stormtroopers. The front end should open up with a deployment hatchway so the ship could connect with the Tantive IV for example, and deploy Imperial boarding parties.
So do you want A Larger TIE Bomber made?
How do you think it would sell if produced?

I mostly mess with making field quality calls but I like to dress them up a little with a burning tool to give em' some character. This one's American Chestnut and sounds pretty dirty. Here's an after shot on its first day in the woods.

I pulled this from the NC Wildlife page. The border counties with Virginia have the best turkey population. The map shows almost none where I hunted last year. Given my lack of success, I believe it.

Cirque du Soleil's Totem and the Big Apple Circus come to the city for a temporary stay, but a circus community exists in Boston all year. AirCraft Aerial Arts, OPENAIR Circus, Simply Circus, and others offer unique classes for adults to escape the everyday monotony of conferences and paperwork. These classes aren't about being in the center ring, they exist to help Bostonians try something new, challenge their bodies and minds, and become part of a community. Most classes are offered on nights and weekends or upon request, so never mind running away — you can keep your day job.
Trapeze, please
For those looking to feel a little less grounded, AirCraft Aerial Arts in Somerville offers classes in trapeze, aerial silks (long fabrics hanging from the ceiling), lyra (a suspended hoop), and other aerial fabrics and structures. AirCraft Aerial Arts encourages beginners to take a "taster class," which introduces students to aerial silks, corde lisse (a cotton rope), aerial hoop, and static trapeze. After taking a few aerial silk classes in my hometown, I took a taster at AirCraft when I moved to Boston and was amazed by how much I learned in a 90-minute session. Classes consist of a warm-up, learning basic tricks and techniques on the different fabrics and structures, and conditioning and stretching that will help in future aerial classes. Even though there were about 10 other students in the class, I was able to try everything I wanted and was provided with one-on-one attention every time my feet left the ground. Some of the poses were uncomfortable at first, but there were multiple instructors to ensure that everyone was doing the moves correctly, so as to avoid injury. A personal favorite is the aerial silks, because you wrap the fabrics around you in unique ways to create poses. If you're like me, once you experience aerial arts, you'll want to keep going back for more.
Visit aircraftaerialarts.com for registration information, the date of the next taster class, or to book a private lesson. All registration is handled through e-mail. | 14 Tyler St, Somerville. Public transit: 86 bus to Dane Street.
Another way to get your feet off the ground is through stilt classes at OPENAIR Circus in Somerville. OPENAIR gets its name from the fact that all classes and performances take place outside at Nunziato Field, Foss Park, and Nathan Tufts Park — weather permitting. Stilting classes, along with many other circus-related classes, are offered weekly for children. This results in a welcoming community where families watch their children practice stilts and juggling just as they would a baseball game. Stilt classes for adults are available upon request, so I decided to take OPENAIR chairperson and instructor Peter Jehlen up on the offer between his beginner stilting for children and his intermediate stage combat for adults. Stilts of all different sizes according to height and skill level were propped against the field's fence, each pair equipped with straps at the feet and padding at the knee. Jehlen went through the basic rules of stilting as he helped me strap on my temporary leg extensions, including "Don't look down" and "If you are going to fall, fall forward." With Jehlen's careful instruction and guidance, I managed not to fall while walking the length of the park. He stood right in front of me to catch me if I got off balance, but also let go as soon as I regained my center of gravity. Even though my feet were a little sore from the wood, I enjoyed seeing the world from above, and I'm interested in trying it again. If I continue to take classes, maybe I could learn cool tricks like kicking balls and spinning hula hoops, as I saw many children on stilts doing during my visit.

Objectives - Participating centres - Technical committee - Tools
The Diabetes Africa Foot Initiative (DAFI) is a multi-stakeholder partnership led by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) that aims to develop a comprehensive, affordable and sustainable foot-screening programme in sub-Saharan Africa. The primary objective of the project is to prevent lower extremity amputation in people with diabetes.
The African region has the fastest growth of diabetes, which will double in the next 20 years, the highest rate of undiagnosed diabetes and the highest mortality rate due to diabetes. The main problems are the late diagnosis, the severe complications due to diabetes, the high mortality rate and the poor quality of life of people with diabetes. The diabetic foot is a complication of diabetes that carries a high morbidity and mortality rate in Africa, and is increasing as the burden of diabetes continues to rise. Amputations remain high, despite intensive training of health workers in traditional preventive methods. DAFI aims to address the lack of a common, regionally accepted, sustainable and comprehensive approach for diabetic foot care in the region.
Diabetes care in Africa assumed a quality priority only recently. This important change of focus in diabetes care in Sub-Saharan Africa followed the African Declaration in 2006 in Cape Town and later the UN Resolution 61/225 in December of the same year. The African Diabetes Declaration calls on governments of African countries and all partners and stakeholders in diabetes to prevent diabetes and related chronic diseases, and to improve quality of life and reduce morbidity and premature mortality from diabetes. The UN Summit on non-communicable diseases in September 2011 marked a new era of political commitment in confronting the global diabetes epidemic and offered a new window of opportunity to develop sustainable diabetes care programmes.
DAFI is a two-phase initiative that is being implemented in ten countries: Cameroon, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Madagascar, Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania and Uganda.
For more information about the Programme, please contact Dr Maïmouna N. Mbaye, Africa Diabetes Foot Care Coordinator.

What you'll learn on the course
Course programme
An Overview of Praxis I
In your first lesson, you'll meet the Praxis I exam. As you begin this course, you probably have lots of questions about the tests. For instance, how many tests make up the Praxis I exam? Where do you go to take them? Do you have to take all the tests at once, or can you take them separately? You'll get answers to all these questions! Then you'll decide whether it's better to take the paper test or the computerized version. We'll also consider how much time you're allowed for each test and how many questions you can expect. By the end of the lesson, the tests will no longer be a mystery to you. You'll be ready to start preparing for all the elements each test encompasses.
The Reading Test
In this lesson, you'll become familiar with the Reading test of the Praxis I exam. You'll learn about the different types of reading questions that you'll come across. We'll discuss useful strategies and explore examples of reading questions. Then you'll have the opportunity to take a full-length practice reading test!
Math Basics: Arithmetic, Exponents, and Square Roots
Have you ever heard the phrase "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally" and wondered how it relates to math? Today, as we begin preparing for the math portion of the Praxis I exam, you'll learn what this phrase means in the math world. You'll also discover the number line and the arithmetic of positive and negative numbers. We'll cover exponents and square roots as well, and by the end of the lesson, you'll have a solid understanding of math basics.
Math Basics: Fractions and Decimals
In this lesson, we'll talk about decimals and fractions. If you're someone who has a fear of fractions, after completing this lesson you'll realize that fractions are indeed your friends! You'll learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals and fractions, as well as how to reduce and build up fractions. Finally, I'll share a shortcut to multiplying and dividing by powers of 10.
Conversions, Percents, Ratios, and Proportions
How much is 25% of 544? If an item that was originally priced at $175 dropped to a price of $105, what is the percentage of decrease? Today, we'll answer these questions as well as others involving percentages. You'll also learn how to convert percentages into fractions and decimals, and vice versa. You'll discover what scientific notation is, and find out about ratio and proportion. Throughout the lesson, you'll have the opportunity to reinforce what you've learned with practice problems to try along the way.
Does the sight of the algebraic equation 3x - 5 + 7x = 9x - 2 scare you? If it does, by the end of this lesson it won't. You'll discover everything you need to know about algebra to be successful on the Math test. This includes what algebraic expressions are, how to combine like terms, and how to solve equations and inequalities. I'll also reveal a test-taking strategy to help you find the correct answer to a problem without actually solving the problem. This backdoor method will definitely come in handy on the test!
Have you ever wondered how much fencing you'll need for your backyard or how much carpet you'll need for your living room? To answer these questions, you have to know some geometry. In this lesson, you'll get a crash course in geometry, where you will learn about area, perimeter, volume, lines, angles, shapes, congruence, similarity, and the infamous Pythagorean theorem. Besides helping you with problems on the Math test, what you absorb in this lesson will help you solve problems long after you have passed the Praxis I exam.
Data Analysis and Probability
Have you ever heard the terms mean, median, mode, and range? Today we'll explore what these statistical terms mean and how to calculate them. After that, you'll learn about the many types of graphs that you'll come across on the test, including pie graphs, bar graphs, and pictographs. You'll see how to read and construct a Venn diagram. Then you'll discover a useful formula that will help you answer probability questions that you may come across on the Math
XY Graphs and Measurements
How many centiliters are in a liter? How many feet are in a mile? How do you convert kilograms to milligrams? If you don't know the answers to these questions, you will by the end of this lesson. In addition to measurements and their conversions, you'll find out how to make xy tables, plot points, and graph lines. We'll end this final math lesson by going over some miscellaneous problems that are likely to appear on the Math test.
Grammar Review
In this lesson, you'll start preparing you for the Writing test of the Praxis I exam with a crash course in grammar. We'll go back to the basics by reviewing parts of speech, sentence structure, punctuation, and grammar rules. This grammar refresher will give you a good foundation for the Writing test.
The Writing Test and Its Questions
Is it better to say "PIN number" or "PIN"? I'll answer this question and others like it in this lesson. We'll also explore idiomatic expressions and commonly confused words. Next, you'll become familiar with the two types of questions that you'll see on the multiple-choice portion of the Writing test. You'll get some tips that will help you avoid common mistakes. These tips and what you learned in Lesson 10 will help you do well on a full-length practice test.
The Essay
For the last lesson of the course, you'll prepare for the essay portion of the Writing test. You'll see some sample essay prompts, and you'll learn how the essay is scored. You'll analyze examples of good essays and bad essays. Then, you'll practice the process for writing a successful essay in the allotted amount of time. After this lesson, you'll not only be all set to take the Writing test, but you'll be ready to take and pass the entire Praxis I exam!
