The Online Bachelor of Science in HVACR Engineering Technology The on-line degree program consists of the same curriculum as the highly successful on campus program - it simply uses a different delivery method. We offer the seven upper level HVACR Engineering Technology courses online. These classes total 30 credit hours. An additional 31 credit hours of general education courses must also be completed. The online program was designed for working adults who have several years of experience in the HVAC industry, and was set up for students to take the HVAC courses through Ferris and the general education classes at a local institution. Most of the general education courses are also available online through Ferris State University. Currently, Ferris HVACR is working on converting enough for you to complete all of your degree requirements through the university. If you take general education classes through another institution, you can transfer them to Ferris to fulfill your graduation requirements. This program is not designed to be taken full-time. In fact, it cannot be taken on a full-time basis because only one HVAC class is offered each semester. The first class begins in the fall semester and seven subsequent semesters are needed to take all seven HVAC classes (fall, winter, summer, fall, winter, summer, fall). It is your option to take general education courses at the same time. Note, one 5-day visit to campus is required during August of your first year in the program to complete the hands-on competency portion of the program. Necessary Qualifications To qualify for admissions, you must have already earned your associates degree in HVACR (or its equivalent) with an overall grade point average of 2.5 or above, and you must have completed a college level Intermediate Algebra class with a grade of C or better. Difference between the Campus and Online Program The online program was not designed for recent associate degree graduates with little or no industry experience. Learning online is different that learning on campus. The content of the online program is exactly the same as the on campus program. The only difference is the method of delivery. We use some pretty cool technology to record lectures so that students can "attend class" from their home computer, and we're currently developing graphics and animations that illustrate the workings of mechanical systems to better explain how the stuff works. However, no matter how many bells and whistles we can put into the online program, it is still an online program. Face to face interaction with faculty and fellow students is no longer possible and many students find the communication lag caused by email to be frustrating. Further, students without a significant amount of industry experience find themselves lacking much of the HVACR understanding that can only come with experience. This lack of understanding can be a huge deficit in the online program. If you don't have a good grasp on the fundamentals, you will have a difficult time grasping the engineering concepts that you will study as a bachelor degree student. Because we expect incoming students to have a good grasp on the fundamentals and because the program moves fast, we don't have time for review. While we don't prevent admission to recent associate degree graduates who lack industry experience, we do discourage it. At the very least, we want you to be fully aware that the online program consists of fullblown college level courses. The program is challenging and requires 20 - 25 hours per week of effort per class IF you have a good grasp on the fundamentals, and will require more time if you find yourself in a catch-up mode. Engineering or Engineering Technology: What is the difference? Engineering programs tend to be theoretical and fairly general fields of study. Engineering Technology programs such as ours, are practical and focused on a narrow field of study within the spectrum of engineering. Mechanical engineering students study a wide variety of engineering fundamentals and principles, but typically do not have any classes that are specifically designed to teach about HVACR. Upon graduation, some enter the HVACR industry, but most enter a variety of other industries that design machines, automobiles, airplanes, boats, engines and so on. Our students learn only those engineering principles that apply specifically to HVACR and concentrate instead on engineering within the HVACR industry. Engineering students take several Calculus courses. Our students take only pre-Calculas (because Calculus is not used in the industry). Engineering students are required to take several Chemistry and Physics courses. Our students are required to take two Science courses of their choosing (we recommend, but do not require, Physics). For an illustration of this, please see the attachment below for a list of classes in our program as compared to the classes found in a typical mechanical engineering program. Our program results in a Bachelor of Science in HVACR Engineering Technology, while a typical mechanical engineering program results in a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME). A "pure" engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board of Engineering Technology (ABET). ABET sets the standards for quality assurance of engineering programs and requires that students take certain core engineering courses, such as those contained in the attachment above for mechanical engineering programs. Our program is not accredited by ABET, because we would have to replace many of our core HVAC classes with ABET required courses. Doing so would eliminate our unique niche in higher education and remove our specialization in HVACR. In short, we would no longer be able to offer a degree in HVACR. This is both good and bad. Here is why. A professional engineer (PE) is a person that has graduated from an ABET accredited program and has passed a state test. The difference between an engineer and a professional engineer is similar to the difference between an accountant and a certified public accountant (CPA). Both perform the same work, but one has passed a state exam and is qualified to certify the accuracy of an audit (in the case of an accountant), or a design (in the case of an engineer). Graduates of programs accredited by ABET are qualified to take the PE exams, while graduates of the HVACR Engineering Technology program at Ferris are not. This leaves you with a choice: Study at any one of a number of universities that offer ABET accredited engineering degrees, learn very little about HVACR but become a PE upon graduation; or study at Ferris State and learn HVACR Engineering Technology in depth, but do not become a PE. Earning a PE does not assure employability or mean that you will earn more during your career. Some engineering firms will hire only PE's, so you may have more opportunities with a PE. Often, firms will hire our graduates to actually do the design work and have their PE review the designs to certify that they are valid. Note that our program builds on the AAS in HVACR and requires two additional years. A mechanical engineering degree requires four years of study, whether you already have an AAS in HVACR or not. Other Facts to Consider If you are working full time and taking online classes, usually one class per semester is plenty. The online program takes two years and one semester to complete the technical courses. And additional 31 credits of non-HVAC courses need to be taken as well. If you take just one class per semester, the program could easily take you five years to complete online. The campus program takes two academic years to complete. In short, you can get through the campus program faster than the online program, and you can concentrate on your studies while you are here without the distraction of your career. Obviously, taking the course online allows you to work and earn an income while you attend school and from a financial perspective, that is a very attractive option.

Ford Focus Replacement Brake Pads Information
When an issue develops or a system ought to be replaced, don't economize with a weak or unreliable component. A Ford Focus will reward you for installing the correct auto parts to meet all challenges with maximum power. In this era of high gas prices, frugal drivers are choosing the Ford Focus and guaranteeing good mileage with the best quality aftermarket and OEM parts. From the beginning Ford has been known as a vehicle manufacturer that puts safety and reliability above all else. To keep the resale value and luxury you selected with your Ford Focus, it's crucial to select only the top names in brand name OEM parts. When aggressive drivers want power and reliability they go with vehicles crafted by Ford. People who care about economy need a sensible vehicle like the Ford Focus. Ford very consistently satisfies, with vehicle designs that combine great mileage with the pleasures of supple handling. Installing the best parts for safety is a major step toward making sure that your vehicle is safe for you and your family. Decelerating your vehicle takes several parts working together - your brake pedal, rotors, fluid lines and Ford Focus Brake Pads. Ford Focus Brake Pads will surely erode over time and need to be changed in order to steer clear of tragedy. As the brake pedal is pressed down the Ford Focus Brake Pads push against the car's rotor and the kinetic energy of the car or truck is transformed heat. As the brakes are used, friction wears away the car's Ford Focus Brake Pads until they have to eventually be taken out - hopefully well before the other components start to take damage. A vehicle is really only as good as the parts it uses, so the specialists here at PartsGeek are excited to help you find high quality parts for any purpose.
They are available for the following Ford Focus years: 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 09, 08, 07, 06, 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00. This part is also sometimes called Ford Focus Disc Brake Pad. We stock brake pads parts for most Ford models including F150, Explorer, Mustang, F250 Super Duty, Expedition, Taurus, Escape, Ranger, F350 Super Duty, Fusion, Edge, Explorer Sport Trac, Crown Victoria, Five Hundred, Escort, Windstar, Freestyle, Excursion, F350, F250, Freestar, E250, Flex, E350 Super Duty, E350 Econoline, Thunderbird, Bronco, F53, F450 Super Duty, E150, E150 Econoline, E250 Econoline, Fiesta, F650, Contour, Transit Connect, F550 Super Duty, Aerostar, Aspire and Probe.

Debunking 20/20: The real truth about veterinary medicine
A recent story on ABC's 20/20 asked this question: "Are some vets out to make a buck selling unnecessary shots, tests and procedures to unsuspecting pet owners?"
We've broken down the seven-minute news story into its basic assertions and offer suggestions for how to respond to clients if they come into your practice asking about the report. The advice comes from Dr. Robin Downing, DAAPM, owner of Windsor Veterinary Clinic and the Downing Center for Animal Pain Management in Windsor, Colo.; Dr. Kate Knutson, president of the American Animal Hospital Association and owner of Pet Crossing Animal Hospital and Dental Clinic in Bloomington, Minn; and speaker and consultant Dr. Michael Paul of Magpie Veterinary Consulting.
Their No. 1 piece of advice if clients ask about the story? "Don't get defensive," Dr. Paul says. "Clients who mention this aren't talking about you. Nobody thinks these stories apply to everybody."
There could even be a silver lining to this "gotcha" piece, Downing says. "The fact that this happens reflects back to us as veterinarians that we're not doing all we can to pre-emptively educate our clients and the pet-owning public," she says. "It's a great opportunity for each of us to identify our weaknesses and be more transparent in the exam room and more informative with clients."
Here are the report's claims about veterinarians, followed by the truth you can share with clients:
What the news report says: Veterinarians take advantage of clients' love for animals by recommending unnecessary shots, tests and procedures to benefit their bottom line
What to say to clients
> "That was a very disappointing report. It was extremely one-sided, and I think, Mrs. Jones, you know me well enough to know that's not how I operate. The veterinarians I know are dedicated to the relationship between the pet owner and the pet, and we want to offer the best care we can to strengthen that relationship." (Dr. Paul)
> "We take very seriously our moral imperative to advocate on behalf of animals that cannot advocate for themselves. Because animals can't answer our questions or point to where it hurts, we veterinarians need to take the initiative in exploring diagnoses and treatments to find out what's wrong. Many veterinary diseases can be diagnosed with a blood test or urine test long before clinical signs occur. When we see clinical signs, it's often too late to easily intervene." (Dr. Downing)
> "My role is to help you make a care assessment for your dog or cat based on your goals for your pet's health and your pet's lifestyle risks." (Dr. Knutson)
What the news report says: Some "lumps and bumps" don't need to be biopsied or further investigated. Veterinarians use the word "cancer" as a scare tactic in these situations.
What to say to clients
> "When you find a growth on your own skin, a bump in a breast or under the skin, we don't say, 'Let's see how that turns out.' We want to know what's going on, whether it's a fatty tumor and nothing to be alarmed about or something more." (Dr. Paul)
> "The four most dangerous words in the English language are, 'Let's just watch it.' I can never tell whether a growth is benign or malignant with just my eyes and fingers. And I'm gonna tell you, 'cancer' should be a scare word. It's the No. 1 clinical cause of death in cats and dogs. One in four golden retrievers will die from cancer." (Dr. Downing)
> "I've had cancer patients die after their first veterinarian told their owners repeatedly that a bump was nothing—without doing any testing. It's only with analysis that you can put a name on that lump or bump. If your pet wasn't born with it, we need to figure out what it is. We're not going to think it's cancer until we have the diagnosis. Until we know it's cancer, we'll consider it benign. And if we send for a cytology or a biopsy and receive that diagnosis, that is a cause of celebration." (Dr. Knutson)
What the news report says: Veterinarians recommend dental cleanings and procedures that require anesthesia unnecessarily. They label just a little bit of tartar as dental disease or periodontal disease—and dental work is "the ultimate veterinary upsell."
What to say to clients
> "If your healthcare goal for your pet to keep him or her alive as long as possible with a good quality of life, dental disease needs to be addressed early and often." (Dr. Knutson)
> "Any amount of tartar is too much. When a veterinarian recommends a dental procedure, the horse has left the barn—there is dental disease present." (Dr. Downing)
> "Dental disease is anything that's not normal, from minor tartar or calculus all the way to horrible periodontal disease, with teeth wriggling around. Here is what I'm recommending and here is what may or may not happen if we go through with this treatment." (Dr. Paul)
> "Eighty percent of a pet's tooth is not visible to the eye. And half of what we can see in a pet's mouth is impossible to assess in an awake animal. We need anesthesia to clean and assess periodontal disease, and we know better than ever how to lessen that risk as much as humanly possible." (Dr. Downing)
> "It's the way the mouth works, for people as well as cats and dogs. If you stopped brushing tonight, in a matter of weeks you'd have an accumulation of tartar, the start of periodontal disease, and inflammation and disease of the teeth and gums. Periodontal disease begins invisibly in a pocket between the tooth and the gum. Brushing helps stimulate those pockets and keeps them free of bacteria and food particles and dislodges the plaque that quickly forms tartar without brushing. If a pet isn't having its teeth brushed, it will experience tartar buildup and disease." (Dr. Downing)
> In cases where dental disease is a 1 or 2 on a scale of 1 to 10, consider saying this: "In a year or so, we're going to have to do something about this. If you can do more dental care at home, like brushing or using a dental diet or chews, perhaps we can hold off even longer." (Dr. Paul)
What the news report says: Veterinarians "push shots" by recommending unnecessary vaccines. Some veterinarians do not follow new three-year protocols and still give these every year.
What to say to clients
> "In deciding on a personalized vaccination protocol for your pet, we consider your pet's unique lifestyle risks as well as local law, manufacturers' directions and established guidelines from organizations like the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Animal Hospital Association and the American Association of Feline Practitioners." (all sources)
> "Vaccines are crucial. Vaccines explain why we now have cats and dogs who live into their late teens or even 20s. I've seen the life expectancy of the average Labrador retriever go from 9 to 15 or 16 years of age in my career." (Dr. Downing)
What the news report says: Pet owners should remember that veterinary practices are also businesses and question veterinarians about the need for recommended products and services.
What to say to clients
> "I want you to come in with a list of questions, written down if possible. I want you to bring any articles you've read, and I want to sit down with you and talk about your healthcare goals for your pet. If your goal is to keep your pet alive as long as possible, we'll talk about pet health insurance, individual risks and the importance of dental healthcare and weight management for longevity. And as your pet ages, we'll talk about qualify of life." (Dr. Knutson)
> "Yes, this is a business. We couldn't provide our services without charging for them. This is what we recommend and why." (Dr. Paul)

Kings XI Punjab's strength comes from the presence of some big hitters through the order
For Kings XI Punjab, the previous season of the Indian Premier League ended with skipper and mentor Adam Gilchrist announcing he had played his last match in the competition.
Five months back, the wicketkeeper batsman changed his mind.
He is back for IPL6. Since then, fellow Australian Darren Lehmann has been hired by the team as the coach.
It may be recalled that Gilchrist and Lehmann formed the think-tank of Deccan Chargers during its triumphant campaign in 2009 in South Africa. The Australian duo is back once again to boost the fortunes of Kings XI.
At 41, Gilchrist's fitness and form will be tested like never before.
Last year, a pulled hamstring had kept him away from nine matches on the trot. His prolonged absence reflected in the team failing to make the playoffs once again.
Kings XI, semifinalist of the inaugural edition after being second in standings following the league phase, has a strong Australian favour.
However, the majority of Kings XI's overseas players are past their prime.
Veterans galore
Besides Gilchrist, names like Azhar Mahmood (38), Dimitri Mascarenhas (35), David Hussey (35) and Ryan Harris (33) form the core of the team. The return of Luke Pomersbach strengthens the batting.
In addition to the experience provided by the overseas recruits, the team has the best of Punjab and Haryana cricketers, apart from two important members from Uttar Pradesh — leg-spinner Piyush Chawla and swing bowler Praveen Kumar. Surprisingly, Kings XI has no one from the current Indian team.
Manpreet Grewal, after stints with Chennai and Hyderabad, is looking to be part of the pace attack that includes his Punjab mates Sandeep Sharma and Delhi's Parvinder Awana. The conditions at Mohali and Dharamshala suit pace bowlers and Kings XI has plenty to choose from. Among the batsmen, Paul Valthaty, Shaun Marsh and Mandeep Singh will be looking to regain the form that made them instant heroes.
Good bench strength
Gilchrist and Hussey have the experience to overcome any crisis. The team's strength comes from the presence of some big hitters through the order. The bench strength, too, looks capable, with variety in both batting and bowling.
Under Gilchrist, in the last two seasons, Kings XI missed making the playoffs by a whisker. It finished fifth in 2011 and sixth last year, winning half the number of matches in each edition.
Despite the lack of big names, Kings XI cannot be underestimated. This determined team has the capability to upstage any opponent. The top-order clearly holds the key.
After opening its campaign at Pune, Kings XI hosts Chennai Super Kings on May 10.
Armed with a favourable law of averages, Kings XI could well turn out to be the dark horse of this season.
Keywords: Kings XI Punjab, IPL 2013, Adam Gilchrist

Mark Armstrong and Gabe Rosa polled into spots 30 and 31 pretty handily, tied overall.
Printable View
Mark Armstrong and Gabe Rosa polled into spots 30 and 31 pretty handily, tied overall.
Lamarre and Stephens
Chacin and Duran.
I have no idea yet.
Silva - because OB
Thompson - because my SS itch must ... be ... scratched
Jackson Stephens - he's young for his level but I hope he begins to show some results in line with his potential this year. Same for Rosa and Rahier. In Stephens' case he should be getting regular starts and a full season of work for the first time.
I could've gone about 5 ways, but I went Rachal and Rahier. I know the guy has an 80 power tool and bounced back a bit last year, but I'm a bit surprised at the Duran love. He was in the ultimate hitters league last year and still struck out at an enormous rate. Two of my next few selections will be Crabbe and Lamarre, who I view as guys that likely spend several years as mlb RP/bench player, respectively. Duran's ceiling is still higher, but the likelihood of him reaching the majors at this point seems improbably low to me.
We are on #34 and we have 3 prospects on the 40 man and have yet to be selected, I don't get it. Henry Rodriguez, Soto and LaMarre. Sal Romano and Ryan Wright as well. They have all had success in pro baseball.
It's the old debate. How much to value raw potential. How much to value track record. When does a guy become a lesser prospect. What's the impact of one bad season.
The one thing about these polls is that sometimes you are better off having no track record or a very limited one. But baseball is a tough game and the warts will show eventually for most of these guys.
Romano has not had success in pro ball - 5.02 ERA, 1.560 WHIP, 1.76 K/BB, 6.9 K/9. You can argue he's been placed above his head and that he has untapped potential, but his performance has been poor. Maybe Wright has an advanceable brand of mediocrity, but his Cali League performance last season was pretty bad.
If you're looking for guys who have performed on this list with some consistency then I'd say Juan Silva and Josh Smith stand head and shoulders above the rest of the remaining field.
Ty Washington. Just because. It's a penny stock pick.
I went with Rahier and Stephens again.
They both were pushed to Dayton likely a year earlier than intended, and flashed some upside, if not held their own.

SNL App is AWESOME
This weekend is the 40th anniversary special for Saturday Night Live. In celebration of the big event, NBC just released a new SNL app that is out of this world!
This weekend is the 40th anniversary special for Saturday Night Live. In celebration of the big event, NBC just released a new SNL app that is out of this world!
I've been having one heck of a Friends marathon since the show hit Netflix last week. Remember this episode?
It's one thing to record a few of your favorite series. It's something completely different to record every movie you might want to watch just in case.
Bill Hader has always been a stand-out cast member on Saturday Night Live, so it was great to see him back on the stage as a host. Plus, a few other special guests stopped by!
Won't you be my neighbor!!!
This might be the smartest thing that Kim Kardashian has ever said.
One would think Lindsay Lohan would use a little help in the money department. Not all of her celebrity friends can help bail her out and take chunks away from her IRS bill. But, Lindsay is apparently 'too good' for Dancing With The Stars.
You got it dude!
I love celebrities that don't think they are better than anyone else. They are just like everyone else but with more money and more exposure to the public eye. With that being said, I think that it why I adore Kristen Bell.
In a new episode of 'House', a patient's menacing secret is revealed- and House has big news for the team. Check out two exclusive sneak peeks from tonight's show: "Fall From Grace"-
It's something I've been waiting for all my entire adult life. A TV channel devoted to the image of a rotisserie chicken!

← You did not specify any titleLoading editor
Should every time the Moon appears in the sky be counted as an appearances or should it be just for notable appearances? If we went with the latter then that would leave out stuff like the full Moon supposedly bringing the Black Knight to life. In that respect, perhaps that would be a counted as something notable, but happens just in the history. Leave the close-up appearances of the Moon for the Appearances section?Loading editor

You might be interested to know I did a page for the Moon.Loading editor
Looks good. I have not watched the "Moon Monster Madness" and so I couldn't offer an opinion on the setting, but it seems to me you did right. If action takes place on the surface of the Moon, then it's a setting. Otherwise not.Loading editor
Not to spoil it, but it is a setting. The official plot says they go to the Moon, anyway. So setting = appearance? So I guess whatever happens in What a Night for a Knight, etc. then it should just stick to the history section.Loading editor
I guess some things can be figured out by myself.Loading editor
I guess it should be counted as an appearance only when it's extra mentioned (like in What a Night for a Knight (SDWAY) or Moonlight Madness (TRR/SDS)).Loading editor

Hey, what's up?
Just wanted to know what you're up to and how it will relate to this wiki. But seriously, I'm just checking in. Watched any Scooby lately?
I happened to come across Scoobypedia Wiki, which is copied, randomly, but nonetheless still copied, so I'm going to have to report that soon.Loading editor
- View all 10 replies
I have missed some of the recent Scooby works, including the Frankenstein one, as I concentrated more on Gravity Falls. However, I still check in here every so often and make a few fixes.
I'm not sure what you mean by "copied, randomly" -- isn't the "scoobydoo.wikia.com" (aka Scoobypedia) the regular maintained site any more?Loading editor
I don't know how much from here has been copied, as from what I saw on the activity list was pretty random, but you can clearly see that it's virtually identical. The only difference is the colour of the infobox. Our home page was probably too complex to carry over.Loading editor
I didn't want to seem intrusive, but I did send you a couple of tweets. I don't know if you noticed that?Loading editor
I almost never check twitter, so I probably missed them. Sorry about that.
That site looks like it has only three or so pages. Not much competition for here.Loading editor
Just in case you haven't seen the overhaul I've been given episodes (starting right from the first episode), maybe you can tell me what you think. I was wondering if the Full credits section should be turned into a table or be done in bullet points instead. The gallery, in case you're wondering, is for behind-the-scenes stuff, I just haven't added anything yet.Loading editor
I like the main image/ title card image boxes. The different kinds of things (objects, locations, vehicles, etc.) is also nice. I think the Full Credits could be done with simple bullet items. Making it a centered table that has to be expanded is a bit awkward.Loading editor
That's fine with me. I'll get on with that as soon as possible.Loading editor
With the bullet points in, does it still look alright in the center of the page?Loading editor
I find centered text hard to read. I know you'd like to make it formatted like the credits of the TV screen, but I think the most important part is getting all the information.Loading editor
Agreed. Thanks.Loading editor

I wrote a civil message to Loonytoonarian on his Looney Tunes wall, explaining our reasons for the ban. He was very rude, and asked me to pass on the message that you are in "big trouble" when his ban is lifted, and that we are "enemies." I think the threat merits an extended ban.Loading editor

I've used iTunes and found that the play/pause bar at the bottom remains when the screen is paused. I was wondering if the same happens on Amazon?Loading editor
I've done screen captures from Amazon and the images are clean of play/pause bars. Also, on Windows you can just do print screen as a video is running and it will capture what is on the screen at that instant (it can be hard to get the timing correct, though).Loading editor
RockSunner wrote: Also, on Windows you can just do print screen as a video is running and it will capture what is on the screen at that instant (it can be hard to get the timing correct, though).
Thanks. Yeah, I had to do that on iTunes, that's why I wanted to know what Amazon had to offer before signing up, only to realize it was no better.
At the moment Amazon doesn't have WSND in HD or SD, and it doesn't have SDMI season 1 in SD.Loading editor

If something on home video is called something different in another country and has different content does it warrant its own page? For example, Scooby-Doo! 13 Spooky Tales: Field of Screams is just Scooby-Doo! Field of Screams in the UK and only has the first disc.Loading editor
I think the different content warrants its own page. Many DVDs are collections and rearrangements of older material.Loading editor
Loading editor
All of Ink-Doo's images need to be deleted as they are misnamed (and not even in english) and they were obviously just going to float around just looking pretty with no use being made out of them. I also don't know where they're from (although I can take I guess, but that's not the point) and I doubt I'd get a straight forward reply of where they were from as with most users who can't be bothered to answer this simple request.Loading editor
Are you asking me to use the bot to delete them?Loading editor
I am. I should've asked at the beginning, but I thought I could quickly go through them myself.Loading editor

Either you're an editor there orsome of your edits are being transferred over there. Apparently I made an enemy because I've been blocked out of spite before having done one single edit. Admittingly though, they do have a couple of rule pages we should have already. The ironic thing is we could be seen as copying. It's actually not the first rival wiki I've seen. (I jumped the gun on that crossed out part.)
Because of attribution some of your edits get acknowledged. Although the funny thing is it says the same date you started here.Loading editor
I did make some edits there, in 2011. I haven't been active there since.Loading editor
I'm not talking about the one based on the TV series, I mean one that was created a few days ago. A lot has been copied from here. It's listed in the wikis you've edited shown in your user box.Loading editor
Sorry. It doesn't matter.Loading editor

I was thinking of having a subsection under notes/trivia (well, really underneath its misc. subsection) that lists real-world references. I'm not sure about the references within almost every episode of SDMI because they're not acknowledged by any of the characters themselves (except for when Fred mentioned in a couple of episodes about his "trapping sense tingling"), although it probably would make sense just to add them anyway, regardless. What do you think?Loading editor
I think it's appropriate to put real-world references there, as you suggest. It's really the only place for refs the in-universe characters cannot possibly acknowledge, like a name of a person or product that parodies a real-world name.Loading editor

Scooby-Doo and the Funkadactyls are using a new infobox. I would like this to be used for all regular characters. The only thing is is that isn't called "Character Infobox", it's just called "Character". The coding for the "first appearance" row has been shortened down to just "firstapp". Of course, the pages using the old infobox could just be renamed so they'd be using the new one, but the bot would have to also change the row. Another option is is to just insert the new character infobox into the old character infobox template. The later would be probably be easier. I just wanted to know if you would prefer the abbreviations of either one of those?
Loch Ness Monster (Scooby-Doo! And The Loch Ness Monster) is testing a new monster infobox. It's using a new tab feature (which the new character infobox also has) which goes up to four. I think having that may give more space for the page. I thought this would come in handy for the different identities of the Phantom from Stage Fright, but that would take up five rows. Of course, I could add another row, but it would get out of control if a monster was to have six, seven, etc. identities. (Should each culprit of the aforementioned monster have their own page or just be one page, with or without tabs (which wouldn't be possible anyway with the four tab limit)). So, that new (neutral) monster infobox would need to replace the fake monster and real monster infoboxes. I was also thinking of adding "identity2" and "reason2", etc. to match the amount of tabs being used, instead of cramming all the identities and then reasons all on one row.Loading editor

Ok, I'll see what it will take for the bot. The character one doesn't seem bad in the usual case, just replacing two strings.Loading editor
I've updated the people infobox now. So it shows this, and needs to be corrected so it doesn't do this anymore.Loading editor
The new "Monster Infobox" is not yet ready for use because it has no "reason=" field, vital for fake monsters.Loading editor
It was actually under "motive" instead, but it hadn't been done right in a couple of rows. I fixed them and also changed "motive" to "reason".Loading editor
I've done a sweep of the "Character Infobox" changes. It's too late tonight to do more. I'll do more changes tomorrow night.Loading editor
I have done a sweep of monsters, locations, and people. Scripting these changes with regular expressions may have missed something -- let me know.
The outline of the Location Infobox looks a little rough toward the bottom. It may need some adjustment in the template.Loading editor

If you mean that the bottom half of the infobox is smaller, then I know. The monster infobox has the same problem. I had it fixed for the character infobox, I'll do it for the others soon.Loading editor

Yes, that's what I was talking about. The new infoboxes look great, overall. I like the new information slots and how they can be expanded on demand.
One other question on color choices. With all the links showing up as red it's no longer easy to find what pages need to be created. Is that intentional?Loading editor

No, it's not. I haven't been able to find a good replacement. I think either the green or orange may have to change. It's probably the latter. At least, it looks orange to me, they're pretty close.Loading editor
I changed it to a green for now. Even if you don't like it, at least it's now easy to tell the difference.Loading editor
I like the green. It's more restful to the eye when reading the text, and it's still easy to find and click on links.Loading editor
I agree.Loading editor
The characters infoboxes should have images of them of how they envolved through the years, in different forms and the main image should be a promo image like how the SpongeBob and Fairly OddParents wikis have.Loading editor
We're going with in-universe up to date images. I can't help with the way things turn out, we're just showing how they look today. I know some wikis use character artwork and promotional images, but I never really cared for it myself.Loading editor

WASHINGTON | American composer-conductor John Williams is debuting a new arrangement of "The Star-Spangled Banner," featuring choirs, trumpets, an orchestra and cannons on the National Mall for the nation's birthday.
Usually a soloist performs the national anthem for the annual "Capitol Fourth" celebration in Washington. But this year, the acclaimed composer will lead the National Symphony Orchestra, the U.S. Army Herald Trumpets, the Joint Armed Forces Chorus and the Choral Arts Society of Washington in performing a special new arrangement.
WASHINGTON — Two universities in the nation's capital have agreed to a major energy deal to buy more than half their power from three new solar power farms that will be built in North Carolina, the schools announced Monday night.George Washington University, American University and the George Washington University Hospital announced the 20-year agreement with Duke Energy Renewables to reduce their carbon footprints by directly tapping solar energy.
WASHINGTON | Newly retired from "The Tonight Show," Jay Leno is now being awarded the nation's top humor prize for following in the tradition of satire and social commentary of Mark Twain, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announced Wednesday.
Leno will be honored with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in a performance by his fellow comedians Oct. 19 in Washington. The show will be broadcast nationally Nov. 23 on PBS stations.
The award recognizes people who have had an impact on American society through their humor and social commentary.
WASHINGTON | Ralph Lauren's love for the American flag and American style has earned him honors from the Smithsonian Institution.
On Tuesday, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will help present the James Smithson Bicentennial Medal to the designer at the National Museum of American History.
Clinton and Lauren joined forces in 1998 to raise money to preserve the original "Star Spangled Banner" flag that inspired the national anthem.
WASHINGTON | Scientists and art experts finally know what's beneath one of Pablo Picasso's first masterpieces, "The Blue Room," using advances in infrared imagery to reveal a hidden portrait of a bow-tied man with his face resting on his hand.
Now the question that conservators at The Phillips Collection in Washington hope to answer is simply: Who is he?
OXON HILL, Md. | While visitors to the nation's capital usually head to the monuments and museums, a new attraction uses the Potomac River to draw visitors downstream to a growing destination in Maryland.
A mini-city called National Harbor has risen over the past eight years on a long-empty site. The village of shops, hotels, restaurants and public art was built between the river and the East Coast artery of Interstate 95. Its features are inspired, in part, by those of great cities, such as Rome's Spanish Steps and Barcelona's pedestrian mall La Rambla.
WASHINGTON | Fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez will receive a National Design Award this year from the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, along with 10 other top names in design.
Rodriguez designed the memorable black and red dress worn by first lady Michelle Obama in Chicago on election night in 2008. The dress recently went on display for the first time at the National Archives to represent her signature style in history. Earlier, Rodriguez designed Carolyn Bessette's wedding dress for her 1996 marriage to John F. Kennedy Jr.
WASHINGTON | More than 100 years after dinosaurs were first displayed on the National Mall, T. rex — the king — is joining the Smithsonian collection after a 2,000-mile journey from Montana.
Paleontologists and curators unveiled parts of a nearly complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton Tuesday, including its jaw with teeth as big as bananas, at the National Museum of Natural History. FedEx delivered the dinosaur bones in a special truck carrying 16 carefully packed crates that were kept at room temperature for the four-day trip.
WASHINGTON | Indian-Americans are doctors, engineers, motel owners, taxi drivers and spelling bee champs — just a few takeaways from a new exhibition at the Smithsonian.
Looking closer, though, curators are probing the history behind certain cultural stereotypes of this population of 3.3 million Americans in a new exhibit opening Thursday.
WASHINGTON — The only copy of the Magna Carta in the United States is the centerpiece of a new museum gallery that opens Wednesday at the National Archives and traces the evolution of U.S. rights and freedoms.
The archives will open its new "Records of Rights" exhibit in an expanded museum space on the National Mall after more than a year of construction to carve out more space for visitors. The Magna Carta will be shown as the precursor to the freedoms envisioned in the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Gabriel Kolko: Iraq Is Very Much Like Vietnam
There are 130,000 American troops in Iraq now - twice the number Bush predicted would remain by this month - but, as in Vietnam, their morale is already low and sinking. Bush's poll ratings have fallen dramatically. He needs more soldiers in Iraq desperately and foreign nations will not provide them.
In Vietnam, president Nixon tried to "Vietnamize" the land war and transfer the burdens of soldiering to Nguyen Van Thieu's huge army. But it was demoralized and organized to maintain Thieu in power, not win the victory that had eluded American forces.
"Iraqization" of the military force required to put down dissidents will not accomplish what has eluded the Americans, and in both Vietnam and Iraq the US underestimated the length of time it would have to remain and cultivated illusions about the strength of its friends.
The Iraqi army was disbanded but now is being partially reconstituted by utilizing Saddam's officers and enlisted men. As in Vietnam, where the Buddhists opposed the Catholics who comprised the leaders America endorsed, Iraq is a divided nation regionally and religiously, and Washington has the unenviable choice between the risks of disorder, which its own lack of troops make likely, and civil war if it arms Iraqis.
Despite plenty of expert opinion to warn it, the Bush Administration has scant perception of the complexity of the political problems it confronts in Iraq. Afghanistan is a reminder of how military success depends ultimately on politics, and how things go wrong.
Rumsfeld's admission in his confidential memo of October 16 that "we lack the metrics to know if we are winning or losing the global war on terror" was an indication that key members of the Bush Administration are far less confident of what they are doing than they were early in 2003.
But as in Vietnam, when defense secretary Robert McNamara ceased to believe that victory was inevitable, it is too late to reverse course and now the credibility of America's military power is at stake.
Eventually, domestic politics takes precedence over everything else. It did in Vietnam and it will in Iraq. By 1968, the polls were turning against the Democrats and the Tet offensive in February caught President Lyndon Johnson by surprise because he and his generals refused to believe the CIA's estimates that there were really 600,000 rather than 300,000 people in the communist forces. Nixon won because he promised a war-weary public he would bring peace with honor.
Bush declared on October 28 that "we're not leaving" Iraq soon, but his party and political advisers are likely to have the last word as US casualties mount and his poll ratings continue to decline.
Vietnam proved that the American public has limited patience. That is still true.
The real lessons of Vietnam have yet to be learned.
