FULTON – David Cole knows when to fold 'em.
Effective June 30, he leaves 20 years at the helm of Itawamba Community College – once a small provincial school, known primarily for its unusual Indian name.
With Cole and his carefully groomed leadership team, ICC is nationally recognized for academic excellence and professional second chances for an under-educated regional workforce.
Cole, 65, announced his retirement plans Jan. 18, much to the surprise of almost everyone but his inner circle.
Longtime colleague Mike Eaton will succeed him, a transition plan under way quietly for months.
Still, it's difficult for others who know him to envision his departure at the pinnacle of his life's work.
"He had a vision," said longtime friend and ally Windle "Buster" Davis. The impressive ICC Davis Event Center honors him and his twin brother, Kindle "Bud."
Speaking at his Ford dealership just a stone's throw from the Fulton campus, Buster Davis said he feels a deep loss at Cole's impending departure after so many years working together for ICC.
"Some people never accomplish their plans," Davis said, "but David had a plan and he got others to help him accomplish it."
Billy Joe South, who opened his Amoco service station in 1965 across the street from ICC, gets emotional at the thought of Cole's departure.
"I never heard of anybody who didn't like him," said South, who teared up a little as he talked at home where he battles cancer.
Cole often sought a little brain-clearing time with South on a bench outside the station, overlooking the changes Cole's leadership brought to the college and the Itawamba County seat.
"He could talk about anything," South recalled sentimentally. "I feel like I'm losing a good friend."
Dr. David C. Cole came to ICC in January 1993 as its fourth president after nearly two decades as superintendent of South Panola School District in his Batesville home town.
He'd been an assistant superintendent, federal projects director, journalism and history teacher, and even one year as a reporter for the Clarksdale Press Register and the Daily Journal.
He met his wife, the former Betty Darby, while the two were South Panola teachers.
They say they will return to Batesville in retirement and enjoy time with their four children and nine grandchildren.
Rep. Steve Holland of Plantersville, a longtime Cole friend and political ally, said the retirement decision is simple: "The man has a God-given instinct about life, and it was just time."
When Cole arrived, the ICC campus was a sparse place with outdated facilities in dire need of being replaced. His first task: to build a modern science building.
That's where the tremendous multi-campus growth plan began.
The previous leaders were good enough to a point, Davis said. But Cole was different.
First, he set out to know the people and became part of the community. Many a Saturday, he'd don a sports shirt and shake hands with customers in Davis' dealership.
"He wanted people to know he respected and appreciated them," Davis noted.
Under Cole's leadership, ICC grew from a relatively unremarkable presence in Fulton to sprawling campuses in Tupelo and Belden, and enrollment of more than 14,000 students with workforce training opportunities for more than 50,000 adults annually.
Today, ICC's enrollment is 50 percent higher than when Cole came to town.
All its campuses are modern and boast new facilities for a wide range of disciplines, including the showplace Davis Event Center and a $15.8 million Health Science Education Center under construction in Tupelo.
It also boasts the largest distance learning program in the state.
Cole is all about building coalitions – he looked for key people in the community to help him further ICC.
He also broadened the college's staff with new people and their new experiences.
"He saw people's talents and let them do their jobs," Davis added.
Ripley banker Bobby Martin knows Davis' words to be true.
"He's a manipulator, but in a good way," Martin observed about Cole. "He's got his fingers on whoever can make it happen."
Martin also laughed when he talked about Cole's gumption on behalf of ICC.
"He's so brazen, he'll ask for anything and gets it," Martin said.
Cole is well-known for his ability to cajole legislators into financial support for community colleges statewide.
Another example, Davis noted, is when Cole asked him to organize a concert series to bring the public to ICC.
"He came to me and said, 'They tell me you can help me get it done,'" Davis recalled.
Since then, ICC's concert series has raised thousands of dollars to directly support Regional Rehabilitation in Tupelo, which provides treatment and counseling free to the region's residents.
Cole asked Davis to develop the concert series and then show ICC how to run it.
"I told him I didn't come up here for a job," Davis said, "but he told me, 'You take it for three years and teach us how to do it.'"
That was 17 years ago and Davis is still at it.
Cole is lesser known publicly for establishing the Mississippi Corridor Consortium, a partnership of ICC and three other north Mississippi community colleges to bring together resources in the region's 16 counties.
The Consortium uses limited financial resources to leverage larger sums to expand education and workforce training programs.
Notably, the Consortium acquired a $1.2 million grant to establish the Advanced Manufacturing Center to upgrade the regional workforce's automotive manufacturing skills, which became a key deal-maker in Toyota's decision to build its new plant in Northeast Mississippi.
Dr. Clyde Muse, 35 years and counting as president of Hinds Community College in central Mississippi, knows a thing or two about Cole.
They began their friendship when each was a K-12 superintendent – Cole at South Panola and Muse in Meridian.
"He has one of the sharpest minds when it comes to issues affecting people and politics," Muse said last week.
One of Cole's greatest accomplishments, Muse said, is the establishment of adult education programs throughout his community college district – Itawamba, Monroe, Lee, Pontotoc and Chickasaw counties.
"This is unique," Muse observed, "especially over such a wide area. I've often said it's the best adult GED program in the state."
The Hinds CC chief also said Cole deserves credit for developing an easily understood concept to fund community college salaries at "mid-point" between K-12 and senior colleges, as well as per-student support at "mid-level."
Universally accepted by the Legislature, the goals have yet to be fully funded.
Cole may be an empire builder, but his friends insist it is an empire for others: He's a people builder.
Martin and CREATE Foundation's Juanita Floyd praise Cole's scholarship program, which has helped nearly 200 students since it was established in 2004.
Floyd said the fund has raised nearly $200,000 for young and old, whom Cole felt needed financial help to get a better education.
"He's making a big difference," Martin said.
While some of Cole's impact on Fulton and ICC is obvious, it's the smaller, more personal ways he's made a difference, they say.
After 2011's devastating tornadoes, Cole personally delivered a generator to help victims. He sent ICC staff to assist with Gulf Coast recovery from Hurricane Katrina.
"I heard about one student who didn't have any money to go to the dentist," Martin recalled. "Here's Dr. Cole, who comes to the rescue and finds the money to help that young man get his teeth fixed.
"That's what he does, quietly."
Martin also termed Cole a "great 10-for-1 man."
"If you ever ask him for one favor, he'll ask you for 10," the Ripley banker said with humor and respect. "I'd like to see his file for the people he calls when he wants something."
Martin said that's how his relationship began with Cole, as they traded favors across the years for the region's economic and educational improvement.
He and others praise Cole for expanding ICC's influence into Tupelo and then to Belden, bringing thousands more people into a relationship with the community college.
Campus buildings total 74 compared with 58 in 2003 and their value grew from $57 million to $163 million.
Last October, Cole's national colleagues through the Association of Community College Trustees recognized him with the Southern Region's Chief Executive Officer Award.
In 2012, ICC was selected one of the nation's top 120 community colleges.
David Cole does not have a perfect record for making good decisions, despite all the praise for his careful planning and execution.
His extensive resume never mentions that after the statewide election of 1999, he agreed to become chief of staff for Gov. Ronnie Musgrove, also a Batesville native and longtime friend.
"I tried to talk him out of it," Davis said. "I said it will be the worst decision you ever made."
Five weeks later, Davis said he talked with Cole's wife, whom he said admitted his dire prediction was true.
People close to the state Capitol story say the two men found themselves at odds almost immediately, chiefly because of Musgrove's controlling, highly political style of decision-making.
Cole fulfilled his promise to work two legislative sessions for Musgrove, then came back to his ICC post the college's board had held open for him.
Musgrove reportedly was out of the country last week and wasn't able to respond to a Daily Journal request to talk about Cole.
Davis said Cole's Governor's Office experience – so different from his community college efforts through the years – had a profound physical and emotional impact on his friend.
"It took him about six months to get over it," Davis said.
But eventually, Cole bounced back surrounded by family, colleagues and the students he so cherishes.
Now, Davis and others wonder how a 24/6 man – that's giving up one day for church – can just stop complete devotion to a cause for retirement.
They speculate he's got a plan for that, too, and it's only partially devoted to spending more time with his family.
"He's going to be a greeter at Walmart during the day and at night at Holland Funeral Directors," joked Rep. Steve Holland, the latter's owner.
The colorfully talking legislator said of Cole, "probably more than any other human being I've met – and I've met a lot of them – he attacks every day with the gusto of a hound dog."
Hinds' CC's Muse said news of Cole's retirement plan came to him completely out of the blue.
"I don't know what he plans to do," Muse noted. "But it's not his forte to sit around and read a book all day.
"He's still got too much to offer – he'll keep serving the people."
Muse has it right, sort of.
Frankly, Cole says his idea of retirement includes service to others but he admits his wife and family have spent much too much time without him through the years.
"I don't have any other educational employment I want to go into," he said late last week as he drove home from legislative lobbying in Jackson.
His voice sounded like he's looking forward to leaving the changed political scene of Jackson and focusing on something with a more immediate impact.
"First off," he admitted, "I plan to spend quality time with the next generation of my family.
"I want to instill in them the best of David Cole and try to hide the worst side, those warts and all."
He said he believes, as the author Robert Greenleaf wrote, that a person's most productive years are after retirement when he or she can work on their avocation – for servant leadership and good works.
Cole reflected on the strong will and character of his mother, who reared seven children on their South Panola County farm.
He said he was "less fortunate" than his siblings because he was the youngest.
"My mother was going to mold me into the image she wanted me to be, and she is what instilled in me any of the virtues I might have," he said.
Logistically, sharing himself with the next generations may be more challenging than first thought, with grandchildren from Fulton to Nashville.
"I think I see some kind of RV in my future," he laughed.

Varilight Dimension Screwless iridium Black, 3 Gang (Triple), 1 Way (or multi-way if used with slave dimmer), 3x400 Watt Touch/Remote Master Dimmer, with Trailing Edge Technology, (For Mains and Almost All Low Voltage Applications). Please Note: The Iridium Range has a special coating on the plates, which is fine for all bulb types EXCEPT CFL LIGHTING, which produces a petrol effect on the plate. Please choose a different range if using CFL lamps/bulbs.VARILIGHT Dimmer Switches have an industry-wide reputation for exceptional performance, long life and innovation at attractive prices. This VARILIGHT Touch and Remote Dimmer Series has many more advanced features than other Trailing Edge dimmer switches: the lights can be dimmed from any location, (if used with a Slave dimmer), rather than only from the dimmer location. Like all our products the Touch and Remote Dimmer Series are designed to meet the latest European Safety Legislation.Touch these dimmers to dim, or alternatively use a remote control.The dimmers are easily programmable so it is possible to dim your lights with a spare button on an existing remote control, for example a Sky or TV remote. Instructions on how to achieve this are included with the dimmer. If more than one Touch and Remote Dimmer is being used, the optional Varilight 8-channel Remote Control is available (product code YRC8). The Touch and Remote dimmer is equipped with Self Re-setting Overload Protection, so is able to handle overload situations, for example, if the wattage of the bulbs/lamps are accidentally too high on a circuit. This is achieved by the dimmer cutting out before there is any damage, (if the watts are grossly overloaded), until the load is reduced. This Touch and Remote dimmer series also contains a heat sensor which again stops damage to the dimmer, if it becomes too hot.The Touch and Remote Dimmer Series has Soft Start Technology, allowing a longer life span of the bulbs or lamps used by increasing the brightness level softly, which also creates a welcoming effect.Touch and Remote Dimmers can be used in 1-way, 2-way, 3-way or even multi-way circuits. When using the Touch Remote Dimmers in 2-way circuits or more, they should be used with Slave Dimmers in the other switch locations. In every circuit there should be only one Touch and Remote Master Dimmer, and then any number of Slave Dimmers. This Touch and Remote Series can be used where there is conventional two-way or multi-way wiring.The Touch and Remote Dimmer Series can be used for mains incandescent GLS lamps (standard mains light bulbs), up to the maximum load as specified on the dimmer. They can also dim GU10 or similar Hi Spot Mains Halogen lamps (only use quality UK supplied lamps) up to the maximum load as specified on dimmer. Good quality Dimmable Electronic Transformers can also be dimmed using this dimmer, please note that noise levels can depend on the quality of the Transformer being used. Choose the V-Pro Series to eliminate Dimmer Buzz, created from Dimmable Electronic Transformers. When using Electronic Low Voltage Transformers we recommend that a maximum of 5 good quality dimmable Electronic Transformers are used (10 if Varilight) with this Dimmer range. Please note: add the watts of the bulbs/lamps if using Varilight Transformers, to determine which dimmer to select, but if using another manufacturer of Transformer, add up the VA of the Transformers so it does not exceed the maximum of the dimmer. Choose V-Pro Dimmer Series if dimming LED's.This Touch and Remote Series, can dim Varilight Energy Saving Lamps (ESL's), here is the Varilight buying guide: 250 Watt = 1-12 ESL's, 400 Watt = 1-15 ESL's, 600 Watt = 1-20 ESL's. This dimmer series will not dim Megaman ESL's.Please note Touch and Remote Dimmers are not suitable for use with wire-wound Low Voltage Transformers, Fans or inductive loads, choose the V-Plus Intelligent Dimmer Series or alternatively look at the 630 Watt Low Voltage Standard Dimmer and Fan dimmer for these applications. Please check with the manufacturer that the appliance is dimmable.This Dimmer has a maximum of 400 Watts and minimum of 20 Watts Please see Varilight's recommendation of maximum loads in the Compatibility guide PDF found in "Specs & PDF's"

Lots of recentspam today - you know what to do.
I need to learn to stop reading any comments on LWN that mention C++ or I'm going to get facepalm-related RSI.
If your project mailing list receives an offer to translate your docs to "Belorussian" (aka Belarusian) from Bohdan Zograf, asking only that you link to his "blog" containing the translation, please ignore it.
His "translations" are always hosted on dodgy sites such as webhostinggeeks dot com, webhostingnet dot com and other free hosting sites, never in the same place twice, and not belonging to any blog, despite the claims in the email.
The text of the translations is always identical to the output of using Google Translate on the original English document (with all the same grammatical errors) so users would be better off just using Google Translate on the original site.
My guess is that Bohdan Zograf (sometimes the emails use other names, and come from a variety of email accounts) is trying to build a link farm with links to it from the websites of several open source projects, for the purposes of spamdexing. I expect that once there are enough of the "translation" pages linked to by unwitting webmasters who are grateful to have a translation of their content, the content will be switched for something nefarious.

[Update: see An even simpler recipe for building GCC for ... yeah, an even simpler recipe for building GCC]
A simple recipe for building GCC
Building GCC is not trivial, but is not difficult if you follow the instructions carefully.
Many people rush into trying to build it without reading the installation docs properly and make one or more of these common mistakes:
1) do not run ./configure - this is not supported, you need to run configure from outside the source directory
2) if GCC links dynamically to the prerequisite libs (GMP/MPFR/MPC) then the shared libraries must be in the dynamic linker's path, both when building gcc and when using the installed compiler.
These problems are easily avoided by reading http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html, http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html, http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#configure and http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#configure_suffix but noone does that.
For the impatient or RTFM-intolerant, a foolproof recipe for building GCC is given below.
The trick to this recipe is that the GMP, MPFR and MPC prerequisites are not installed separately, they are built as part of gcc and linked to statically. This avoids the common problem of installing the shared libraries in a non-standard location and having to tell the dynamic linker how to find them. This method is documented at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html and is much easier than building and installing the prerequisites separately, but everyone seems to choose the hard way.
If you decide to stray from this recipe without reading the docs do not be surprised if you get indigestion.
* Ingredients:
1 gcc source package (e.g. gcc-4.6.0.tar.gz)
Alternatively, download individual packages for each GCC language front end (e.g. gcc-core, gcc-g++ etc.)
1 gmp source package (e.g. gmp-5.0.1.tar.gz)
1 mpfr source package (e.g. mpfr-3.0.1.tar.gz)
1 mpc source package (e.g. mpc-0.8.1.tar.gz)
* Method:
First prepare your environment, season these variables to taste:
# the versions you will build
# where you put the downloaded source packages
# where you will build gcc
# where you want to install gcc
# the languages you want gcc to support

Today I tried recompiling a fairly large codebase using GCC
4.6 and -std=c++0x (and also -std=gnu++0x). Due to a couple
of small bugs I was using 4.6.0 plus two patches that will
included in the 4.6.1 release. For the purpose of this
exercise, GCC 4.6 is pretty close to implementing the C++0x
rules in the FDIS that was voted for at last week's
committee meeting (there are several C++0x features such as
inheriting constructors and ref-qualifiers for member
functions which are not implemented in GCC yet, but those
features are new in C++0x and so aren't used in C++03
The results were very positive. Apart from adding a few
missing headers (which should have been there anyway)
only a couple of
changes needed to make the C++03 code also valid for
Narrowing conversions
I had to change some initializers to avoid narrowing
conversion (such as double to int, int to char) which are
allowed in C++0x. e.g
struct S {
int i;
S s = { 0.0 }; // should be { 0 }
for (int i=0; i < 10; ++i) {
char s[2] = { '0'+i }; // should be { char('0'+i) }
The definition of the function template
std::make_pair has changed in C++0x, but I was
surprised to find this caused a problem. In C++03 it's very
template<typename T1, typename T2>
make_pair(T1 x, T2 y);
pair with those types. This saves you from
In place of:
return pair<int, double>(5,
3.1415926);// explicit types
a C++ program may contain:
return make_pair(5, 3.1415926);// types are deduced
return make_pair<int, double>(5,
3.1415926);// explicit types
This requires typing five more characters ("make_") than
just constructing a pair directly. It's pointless.
It takes the convenience function and then uses it
inconveniently. It's like putting a stepladder in front of a
high shelf, then standing next to the ladder and reaching
over it. You're doing it wrong!
Yet I found a few cases where that's exactly what had
written. And other members of the BSI C++ panel have
reported that it's used in their codebases too.
Why does it matter? Well in C++0x the definition has
template<typename T1, typename T2>
make_pair(T1&& x, T2&& y);
This means that if you disable argument deduction by
providing an explicit template argument list in C++0x, then
the function can only be called if the function arguments
are compatible with the explicit template argument types:
only rvalues arguments will be accepted if you call
make_pair<T1,T2> and only lvalues will be
accepted if you call make_pair<T1&,T2&>
because lvalues can't bind to rvalue-references and
rvalues can't bind to non-const lvalue references.
The solution? Don't call make_pair with
template arguments.
To be honest, there is one valid reason to give an
template argument list, which is if you want one type to be
explicitly specified and one to be deduced e.g.
return make_pair<const long>(0, x);
That could be useful to insert into a std::map.
If you really want the old C++03 semantics of
make_pair then you can write your own, as it's
really trivial. Whereas the semantics of the new C++0x
version are subtler and harder to get right, so I think it's
right that the standard library provides the complicated one
and that you have to define the simple one yourself (if you
even need it.)
I think it's an evolution such as takes place in any language in different ways. In English, I suspect this particular one comes from the mix of different other-language speakers learning English and the habit has spread because of modern media diffusion.
It is interstingly not a complete evolution. With two prepositions involved, it was originally 'tell it to me', just as it still is 'explain it to me'. The incompleteness can be felt/seen if you say something like 'I told him it'. There's a slightly clumsy feel, to me at least, in the use of the two pronouns side by side.
Consider also that English is unusual in having two words for what is often only one in other languages - to say and to tell, for dire in French. You wouldn't say 'Say it me' or 'Say me it'. Equally, the indirect object//dative case form applies to speak/talk//parler. 'Speak French to him', or 'talk sense to me' are the ways we say it. Not 'talk me sense' or 'speak him French'. So it is 'tell' that seems to have undergone this semi-evolution, why I cannot be sure. Or really I haven't a clue. But it doesn't have nowt to do with Latin vs Germanic etymology.
Hi, fzort! I don't even see all those diaries from proclus thanks to the rating system.
Sorry, parsing English is even more ambiguous than parsing C++.
The transitive verb "explain" can have a direct object (the thing being explained) and an indirect object (the recipient of the explanation.) "She explained me" makes "me" the direct object, that is, the thing being explained. "She explained something to me" has "something" as the direct object and "me" as the indirect object. "Tell" can be used the same way: "She told something to me" is correct, but so is "she told me something" -- but that's not the case for "explain." I'm not sure why but the difference might be because "explain" comes from Latin and "tell" comes from Anglo-Saxon, which have different grammar.

Just a tip for people travelling: it definitely pays to try to contact local developers. I've had a great time meeting other people on all my trips.

It's hard to believe that just three ingredients can make such flavorful onion biscuits.
There's so much flavor in these moist, tender biscuits that you won't need a high-fat spread. They taste heavenly even without butter or margarine.
For soft biscuits, place the dough close together on the baking sheet. If you like your biscuits crusty, be sure to space dough about 1 inch apart.
To measure Bisquick mix, spoon it into a dry-ingredient measuring cup, then level the top with a metal spatula.

text: This really has to do with all of the new trillogy, but I will post it here since TPM is first. I just wanted to ask, do any of you really enjoy the new movies. I hear so many people say how they dont like them. I personally love EP I and II and enjoy them way more than the original trilogy. I love the original trilogy, but the new movies have everything you ever wanted. In the old movies we all wanted to see more jedi, or know about the clone wars, and know the history of Darth Vader and now we do. and I enjoy these prequels way more, and think EPIII may be the best of them all when it comes out in 2005. I understand why many love the originals more, they grew up with them, and they are classic. But it seems everyone dosnt like the new ones. I just wondered if any of you are like me, and really love everything about these new movies. I would never knock the old ones. They are great. But I think these new ones are entertaining, and really fun. and just wondered what you all think. I have heard so much negative, I wondered if any of you liked em, or do you all hate em.

New and need some advice on tank size and which fish to populate it with.
Hello everyone. I got bitten by the aquarium bug and am looking for some guidance. I've read the sticky on fishless cycling and will probably start that in the next few days. I'm purchasing Prime and the API Freshwater Master kit. Tonight I am heading to purchase a tank and this is where I need the guidance.
We are moving into a new home in 2-3 months and I will be able to get a bigger tank(55-75 gal), but in the meantime, I'd only have about 24"L x 14"W to play around with. After some research, I saw that I could get either a 20 tall, 20 normal, or 25 gal. a 10 gal will obviously fit there as well, Any recommendations?
I figure that once we move, I can either use the smaller tank as a QT or breeding tank, or maybe let me son keep it in his room.
So, any suggestions on tank size and fish?
I'd really like some colorful fish.
Any suggestions on a filter and heater?
Thank you so much in advance.

The usual advice is to get the largest tank you can afford and have space for - this is to help you maintain good water parameters. As for a larger tank, you have many stocking options - community tank, cichlids, etc. Along with your tank purchase, make sure to get enough filtration for double the tank size - hence, a 75 gal would need enough filtration for a 150gal tank.
Getting another tank for either QT or for your son - you will need to decide which you want to use the tank for. A QT doesn't need to be cycled - you would need to cycle a filter for it and keep it in your main tank all the time, transferring it over for use (like for new fish or a sick fish) - I recommend a 10 or 20 gal for that.
As for brands, I am familiar with Fluval (for a filter that is) and Eheim - dont' know about heater brands (reliability-wise).

I've been thinking about pupulating the tank with the following:
- 1 dwarf gourami
- either Neon Tetras or cardinal tetras(what would be a good number?)
- Celestial pearl Danios
- Harlequin Rasbora
Would those be able to coexist and thrive?
I would say do a 20g long. They are great tank sizes that you can do a lot with. I'd recommend only 2 of those species. Many people will agree that larger numbers of the same fish looks better than a bunch mixed. So I'd say 1 dwarf gourami and like 10-15 of the ones that are you're favorite.
Neons and Cardinals can be a little fragile, kinda picky about water quality, just something to think about
CPD with a gourami is a bit of a gamble. It usually works. Also they'd be awfully small with the rest. I'd say start with 6 neons and 6 harlequins and leave it at that for at least a month.
Gourami, neons and harlequins will appreciate softer water with a bit of leaf litter on the bottom of the tank and some plants. Harlequins are tough fish but get it right for them and they'll not only live but also look good.
A 20 high offers volume but not much swimming space, a normal or a long will give your fish more room.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

If those are your main choices go for the 20. I ge the impression this is your first tank. A 20 is enough water that keeping it stable is relatively easy and it's small enough to be easily manageable for a beginner.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

Yes, it is my first tank. It's actually a father's day gift from my fiance and son. I get to pick it out and they pay for it :)
I'd agree that the two smaller schools, neons and harleys would be best bet. But the dwarf gourami and harleys should be ok together.
Def go with the biggest tank you can fit in the area you have...
Also a few quick things
1. DO NOT GET FISH THE SAME DAY AS AQUARIUM... no matter what the store says. Read up on how to properly cycle your tank, not using any fancy chemicals etc
2. Buy a API Master Freshwater test kit (approx $25)
3. If you don't want to buy a python water changer, get a 5 gallon bucket and a 3-4' long piece of 3/4" clear pvc from home depot to do water changes with - its what I use on my smaller tanks and works well
4. It would be better to not buy the aquarium "kits", try to get the pieces separately, even if it costs a few extra bucks
5. I would recommend at least double the filtration, so look for either two filters that say they do 20g or 1 that does 40g
6. Buy a bottle of prime, probably the most cost efficient way to remove chlorine / chloramine from tap water
7. I personally have had the best luck with Jager heaters - i will always recommend these over any other brand - online for $25
8. For all tank supplies - filters, heater, substrate (gravel or sand), therometer, prime I would recommend kensfish.com. I have bought a lot from them, and typically they are the best price for quality supplies
