How to disassemble Toshiba laptops.
by cj2600 - 10/8/05 9:14 PM
Hey guys, I just plan to start a new website. This site will provide instructions how to disassemble Toshiba laptops. I already created guides for Toshiba Satellite 1415, Toshiba Satellite M35X, and Toshiba Satellite A60/A65. I'm not sure if somebody needs this kind of guides. What do you think?

Basketball is growing in popularity and football is dying in popularity both on global and local scales. But football is still more popular
Ride the fence and say both
I keep hearing people say New Orleans is a football town. While I might agree that football is more popular, it gives the idea that basketball means nothing here. From my experience growing up in this city, that is NOT the case at all. During basketball season, long before N.O. had a pro team, basketball was the thing to talk about and play. I know this as far back as the L.A./Boston series in the 80s. I even know some who only collected basketball cards...hundreds of them...right here in New Orleans. At one point in time, the Spurs were my favorite team.
I played both football and basketball in my youth, and once again, long before N.O. had a team, baskteball has always been a slight favorite for me over football. No doubt I love my Saints and football in general, but it was Magic vs. Bird when I was 8. The Jordan championships in my teens, so I was a bit spoiled by the game.
So, my question is, who else likes basketball more than football, even slightly.

I'm weird I guess, Im a bigger saints fan but overall I like basketball better as a sport. I can watch any basketball game over any football game but if it's the saints then I'll watch them with out question.
I've always liked basketball more. I'm a huge Saints fan, and I write a blog about football, but basketball is definitely my favorite sport without question. To play, to watch, to talk about -- everything.
I think if the nba had a cap situation like the nfl it would become the more popular sport (basketball). I think the reason the nfl is more popular is because in the nfl every team is on the same playing level (for lack of better words) in the nba with these "super teams" its hard to stay competitive and i think it turns fans off when they can look at a stack team and be like "well oh there gonna win this year" but in the nfl its more of people being on the same level. Like the time the saints played arizona and clevland i was kinda like "yeah saints got this" and then boom we loose to a colt mccoy and max hall (smh) led teams! I just think if the nba had a set cap and not these super teams it's fan base would grow even more then it already has.
Good poll. I would say football is my favorite. Outside of LSU, the Saints are my favorite sports team followed by the Hornets. College football is my true love and will watch any SEC game anytime.
However I will watch more non-Hornet NBA games over non-Saint NFL games. In fact, I won't watch any NFL game that is not a Saints game, unless my boy Tebow is playing of course.
I don't mind people that say that...but when they say that when I say "Why don't you like the basketball team?" "Because this is a basketball town." I have to resist the urge to slap them. It's the same mentality of people that have game console internet fights cuz they own an Xbox so the PS3 has to suck or something. Or they're just brainless sheep that follow the trend. It's a football town so basketball is teh suXorz or however that is conjugated. Make up your own damn mind.
Although. If someone says it's cuz they hate the NBA, I have no problem with that whatsoever.
I won't even directly mention the ones who are fans of a certain team residing in California.
Anywho. I think that mentality can and will change, but it'll just take time. The NBA is just gaining steam in NOLA. People in my generation who were relatively young can appreciate the sport being here from a young age, but the best is the even younger, 5-15 year old demographic. Those kids are being raised watching the NOLA basketball, it's becoming a part of them. And when they get old enough to have kids, their kids will watch NOLA basketball. And so on and so on until it's inseparable from our culture.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Quite honestly, I've never heard someone say "this is a football town" in my circles because I've always been around basketball fans. Thats why I get a little irked when I see someone from, or talking for N.O. say it on the internet or on the news, which is the only place I've heard that frankly. Yes football is more popular here, just like it is everywhere else outside of maybe Indiana, Kentucky, and New York. That doesn't mean NOLA doesn't have its fair share of longtime basketball people though.
Pill heads represent!
Actually playing it, to me, basketball is more fun. But watching it professionally, I'd have to say football.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
I come from a basketball family as well and played all my life and in high school and in intramural leagues, so I'm going basketball all the way, although i still really love football (esp the saints and madden, though im a big 2k guy as well).
When it comes to watching, basketball for sure. I think football can get kinda boring sometimes, besides watching brees tear it up alot; but i'm much more likely to watch a random bball game.
Finally, going to a saints a game or hornets game? I have tickets for both and believe or not i prefer the hive if the hornets are good like in 08. I just feel more involved in the game, it's a much more interactive thing, and i'm close enough to heckel opposing players which cant be beat. Saints game are usually great, but they can get kinda dull sometimes at 12 oclock on a sunday.
I'm as hard core a basketball fan as you will see. However, I love watching football and the Saints, but I don't follow roster moves etc. just enjoy watching the games. So I guess I would be a soft core football fan.
As far as the real question at hand, picking which I prefer is pretty hard since, IMO they're so different. There's nothing like getting amped up for a Saints or LSU game. I love the physicality of football, the team aspect, and the time that goes into one game; conversely, I love the skill of basketball and the fact one person can dominate the game. I love football for having the win or go home attitude every game, but I also love the fact that basketball has a 7 game series and typically the best team playing at that time wins and not some huge upset. NFL anyone in the playoffs can get hot and win it, and in the NBA you really have to earn it. I'm really in the middle, but i lean to basketball.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
For me personally I'm just a Louisiana homer. I support LSU, Hornets & Saints to the fullest. But as far as preference for the a sport over all....I'll probably have to go with Football. I can watch any football game even if the Saints & LSU arent playing. The NBA, I won't really get entrenched in the season of the rest of the league outside of the Hornets until the NFL Season is coming to a close.
imo football will always be better than basketball
the hornets will never become more popular than the saints
I was a Bulls and Lakers fan before we got our team. Loved Jordan, loved Shaq. Didn't care much for Kobe. But I did root for them during their title run of the early 00s. But once we got our team? They got pushed to the wayside. For damn sure did I not come to a NOLA vs Lakers game wearing Lakers colors and root against the city that I was born in.
Can't respect anyone that does that. All they can get from me is one cross they lips. The big dummies.
I can watch international basketball even summer league and enjoy it... I cannot watch the CFL or Arena football and have the same effect.
That right there puts basketball over the top for me.
I guess it helps that i played basketball growing up.
Love the Saints and Football but I'll watch ANY basketball game on (besides the wnba) can't say the same for Foozball.
This is actually really tough to answer. I grew up loving every sport. Actually as a kid I was a HUGE baseball fan, football and basketball didn't even come close, although I liked both of them a lot.
I really think I like football and basketball equally. I hold season tickets for the Hornets and am on the waiting list for the Saints. I really love to both watch and play basketball and football. I cant choose between the two. I suppose if for some odd reason the Hornets and Saints games were to conflict in some way I would watch whichever game was more important at the time, and probably switch back and forth.
Obviously because of the way the seasons match up the Saints would be more important at that moment probably.
I guess I'll ride the fence on this one.
From a viewing stand point would say the NFL has the slight edge for me. Mostly because there's less football and more time for me to miss it. I can devote the weekend and Monday to football. The basketball season is far too long. Way to many stretches that are virtually unimportant especially with more than 50% of the team making it to the post season. There isn't a week in football that's not important can't say the same for basketball especially the NBA.
Just based on the actual sport the older I get the more I start leaning toward basketball. Right now it's almost dead even, but I have to give the slight edge to basketball.

A Little Help, Please!
On last Saturday's Big Brother Gossip Show, I mentioned that we'd like some help from our listeners. Unlike most shows, I'm serious. In an effort to help out Ash, our Audio Producer, I'm putting out a call for some audio clips from you fine folks. If something goes down that is funny, interesting, or integral to the week's happenings, send us the clip for possible inclusion. The key word there is possible, as there are no guarantees that we'll use it. Also, you need to be able to record soundboards. On Windows, that generally means setting your audio to "stereo mix". On Macs, it's a bit more difficult. No matter what you use, the audio can't just be recorded by your device's built-in microphone.
If you do have something to contribute, you can contact me here, twitter (bigbrothrgossip), or via email (firstname.lastname@example.com). Of course, you'll get credit if we do indeed utilize the audio.
Thanks, my friends, and enjoy the show tonight!

Gallery: World Trade Center Steel Recycled into Hundreds of Memorials A...
After September 11th, most of the World Trade Center steel was trucked off to New Jersey salvage yards where it was broken down and sent all over the world for reuse. However, over 1,000 pieces of debris were placed in a JFK airport hangar for the Port Authority to oversee. Recently, the PA announced a program to distribute the steel to anyone who requested it for a 9/11 memorial site. The requirements were the memorial be public and free of admission charge, and the interested party would handle its own steel transportation. With nearly 2,000 applicants, the program has assisted in erecting 225 September 11th memorials throughout the country.
The steel recycling first made headlines in 2009 with the unveiling of the navy battleship USS New York. The ship included over 7 tons of World Trade Center steel and served as one of the first permanent tributes to the victims. Steel has now found homes in local firehouses in Michigan and Minnesota, town halls in New Jersey and Alaska and even the Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas. Cities are receiving a variety of pieces from ones that can fit in your hand to bundles of entire beams.
The community of Coatesville, Pennsylvania will receive the largest shipment so far. They have requested 500 tons of steel for its future National Iron and Steel Heritage Museum. The 10 "steel trees" they will be receiving made up the first few floors of the World Trade Center north tower and were actually built in that very town over 50 years ago. The museum will not only be a memorial for September 11th but will also teach the lifecycle and history of steel production in Pennsylvania.
One steel beam was recently sent to Arizona to be incorporated in a memorial for Christina-Taylor Green, the 9 year old girl who was fatally injured in the January shootings. Her birthday was September 11th. The memorial statue titled "The Freedom's Angel of Steadfast Love" also includes pieces from the Pentagon and US airlines Flight 93.
The most touching piece of World Trade Center debris did not need to be reused to moved at all. Two beams found in rubble that resembled a christian cross have stayed in or near the site for the past 10 years. It will be a highlight and permanent piece of the 9/11 Memorial Museum, opening next month.

San Francisco Bay Area
Summary Information
- Operating Frequency: 144.390 MHz
- SSID Protocol: Most users follow the "new protocol"; refer to Symbols and SSIDs page.
- Local Coordination: Informal, mostly via California APRS Users Group (Yahoo group)
- Local Monitoring and Info: Northern California APRS Information
The San Francisco Bay Area is home to many radio amateurs and has an active APRS network. The San Francisco Bay Area terrain offers some of the best digipeater siting in the world. From almost anywhere in the central Bay Area you will have line-of-sight and clear reception to at least one high-level mountain-top digipeater. Exceptions to this are of course in areas such as the "urban canyon" of San Francisco, parts of the western side of the Coastal Range mountains from Santa Cruz north to Pescadero, the eastern side of the Diablo Range from Mt Hamilton north to Pleasanton, etc.
Due to the large number of APRS users, the 144.390 APRS frequency is almost constantly in use and efforts are always being made to reduce excessive or redundant packets. Use of "old paradigm" {paths|digipaths] (RELAY and WIDE and TRACE and TRACEn-N) is strongly discouraged and most if not all San Francisco Bay Area digipeaters will no longer respond to these paths.
Solution: Digipeater Siting Strategy
The near-ideal geographic layout of the region implies there is usually no reason for an APRS user to set up and run low-level, supplemental, or fill-in digipeaters within the central Bay Area. Doing so will almost always generate redundant packets which increases collisions and channel traffic, reducing throughput. Exceptions to this may be in urban canyons, pocket valleys, or remote areas along the coast where it can be demonstrated that a mobile station's packets do not otherwise reach the network. A special event occurring in such remote "shaded areas" may benefit from a temporary "fill-in or event" digi (which only responds to packets addressed via WIDE1-1 or it's own callsign) sited overlooking the operating area for the event duration.
If you have reason to believe that a supplemental or fill-in digipeater is needed routinely, you could join the California APRS Users Group (hosted on Yahoo Groups) and post a proposal detailing where and why. The folks there will help you determine proper settings to ensure that your digipeater is beneficial to the local users.
Solution: Receive-Only IGate Strategy
FM capture effect at Bay Area digipeaters is an issue; distance and channel congestion often results in a higher-powered station (mobile or base) covering packets from a lower-power mobile or handheld. Therefore those wishing to contribute to the local APRS system are encouraged to consider establishing receive-only IGates instead of supplemental or fill-in digipeaters. These receive-only IGates pass packets heard on RF to the Internet via APRS-IS but do not add duplicate packets to the VHF airwaves as another digi could.
Solution: Localizing Paths
Even with the "new paradigm" paths (WIDEn-N) being implemented there are still occasionally cases where local traffic will wander in or out of the Northern California region. To reduce this, high-level network "S overlay" digipeaters (and some stations) have started using the NCAn-N in place of WIDEn-N paths. This ensures that packets intended for Northern California users remain within the region. Digis and other fixed stations are encouraged to beacon local information locally, with no path, and beacon position with a path once an hour. Most digies trap abusive paths, many trap down to WIDE3-3. Fill-in digis usually only respond to only WIDE1-1, and do not respond to packets addressed via NCA1-1. So a mobile station could use a path of WIDE1-1,NCA1-1 instead of the routine WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 mobile path. Commuters in areas that have I-gates and digis nearby could simply use WIDE1-1. Taming paths and timing to our intended audience shows good amateur practice, and can help alleviate network overload. We have helpful web sites like APRS.FI RAW that make it easy to examine our own settings. And APRS HOGS to help those of us within it's ear shot to attempt to stay off the top of the "Hogs" list. These tools can help us find the settings that work best for our own needs. Ultimately each individual chooses the setting that they require for their own enjoyment of the hobby. Hopefully not at the expense of others.
Recommended path settings for mobile stations
- WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 : Two hops in all directions with potential to use fill-in digis. Best routine, and for events.
- WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2 : Three hops in all directions. Not normally required; use is discouraged. (Potential to be propagated out a thousand miles, by up to 36 distant digipeaters).
- WIDE1-1 : "Commuters" may find that a short mobile path of WIDE1-1 is adequate for their needs.
- NCA1-1 : or NCA2-2 can be used if you don't travel outside the Northern California (NCA) region. No access to fill-ins
- Aircraft are recommended to use a single hop path WIDEn-N, or no path when at high altitude.
Recommended path settings for fixed, non-moving stations
- WIDE2-1 : One hop... Suitable if you are within earshot of a "high" WIDEn-N digi with a large footprint. Avoids use of all fill-in digis.
- WIDE2-2 : Two hops in all directions... recommended maximum for routine use in most areas.
- WIDE3-3 : Three hops in all directions. Not normally required, use is discouraged, many digis trap WIDE3-3 and higher
- NCA1-1 : or NCA2-2 may be used. NCA1-1 is more courteous, and is equivalent to WIDE2-1.
- WIDE1-1 : Use is discouraged for fixed stations unless your target is a fillin digi.
- RELAY and WIDE and TRACE and TRACEn-N are obsolete and strongly discouraged.
Recommended timing settings for mobile
- Position Beacon : While moving, a beacon rate of once a minute, with a single hop path (WIDE1-1) would be about the fastest TX rate a local network could handle. Many courteous users set 3 to 10 minute beacons, with a routine two hop path (WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1). Smart Beaconing is recommended over timed beaconing, when available. Powering Trackers from the Ignition switch or using a Power off timer is recommended. Leaving a mobile tracker on while stationary, with a TX rate of more than once or twice an hour can cause a great load on our RF network over time. Look at the top few users at APRS Hogs, several "ob-users" (Oblivious-Users) let their TNC's transmit at a rapid rate, 24/7. It wouldn't take many abusers to overload our precious frequency, that we all have to share. Ultimately it's up to individuals to decide what settings are required for their intended audience.
- Smart Beacon : SmartBeaconing™ transmits beacons depending on speed and direction. The default settings are courteous: (Slow 5mph, Slow TX 1800sec, Fast 60mph, Fast TX 90sec, Min turn angle 30, Turn slope 255, Min turn time 5 sec). Changing default settings could be detrimental to the network. If the Bay Area APRS.FI map shows someone's tracks as a constant red line, they might have changed smart beacon settings to an abusive rate.
- Stationary Mobile : Should TX similar to fixed stations, once or twice an hour is courteous, and will keep you on the maps. A stationary mobile that's beacon rate is at once every 10 minutes could be considered a spammer, that's 144 worthless beacons in 24Hrs. Properly setup SmartBeaconing™ transmits a packet once every 30 minutes while stationary, which compensates for the sometimes "spastic" beaconing while corner pegging. Setting APRS DC power to vehicle's ignition switch, or use of a timed power off relay is advised to limit needless QRM.
- Status Message : Many Trackers can be set to send a status message once every 10 position beacons, instead of every beacon. This allows quicker air time, less chance of packet collisions, and an increase in successful packets to APRS-IS. Trimming long messages, telemetry, Altititude, TX delays... Can also increase successful packets.
- TX Delay : In the old days 300 milliseconds was the standard. Today in the age of PIN diodes 180 milliseconds should be more than enough.
- MIC-E : Compression can cut air time by more than 50%. Short packet bursts have a much greater success rate, especially in busy Northern California.
Recommended timing settings for fixed, non-moving stations
- Position Beacon : Position beacons with a path of WIDEn-N, or NCAn-N, are recommended once an hour, any additional position beacons with no path.
- Status-Local info : Repeaters, EchoLink, and IRLP objects are recommended not more often than once every 10 minutes without a path. Keep your local info local.
- TX Delay : 180 Milliseconds is recommended.
Recommended settings for Digipeaters
- Carrier Detect Software detect is superior to using squelch, it's fast, (squelch off, set to noise all the time) no squelch delays on decode, or TX delays from noise.
- Digi Wait : Set digi wait to minimum: Kantronics UIDWait=OFF || TNC-2 UIDIGI PPERSISTANCE=255 and SlotTime=1 || OT2 SLOT not less than 1 || TT4 PPERsist=1 SLOtime=1
- Duplicate Dup limit 30 seconds is recommended for WIDEn-N digis.
- Preempt is recommended on WIDEn-N Digis that have aliases like: SSn-N or SAR.
- Position Beacon : Position beacons with a path of WIDEn-N, or NCAn-N, are recommended once an hour, any additional position beacons with no path. WIDE2-1 or NCA1-1 is adequate for high level Digis. (The latest recommended digi settings from Bob, WB4APR are: Fillin || KPC-3 ver 8.2 || KPC-3+ || UIDIGI ver 1.9 || OT2)
- Status-Local info : Repeaters, EchoLink, and IRLP objects are recommended not more often than once every 10 minutes without a path. Keep your local info local. APRS Objects for Echolink/IRLP and WinLink
- Symbols : WIDEn-N Digis are recommended to be updated to support NCAn-N and display a Green star symbol with an "S" overlay. Fillins Have a Green Star with a "1" overlay. The overlay and digi symbol are placed in the position beacon after the Lat & Long. The following position has a S# to indicate a S overlay Digi. (!DDMM.hhNSDDDMM.hhW#PHGphgdr/ W2, NCAn, We finally updated Intermod Ridge Digi to New Paradigm settings A=003900). Helpful links:Symbol Chart || Good PHGR calculator
- TX Delay : 180 Milliseconds is recommended.
- Trapping : Trap abusive paths from near or distant users. Settings will depend on individual geographic factors. Many digis are now trapping down to WIDE3-3, some high level digis even trap WIDE2-2. This gives abusive users one hop. A Northern California digi that constantly receives QRM from a WIDE5-3 beacon from out of State could trap it to one hop by using the UIDIGI command: KPC-3 (UIDIGI ON, WIDE2-2, WIDE3-3, WIDE3-2, WIDE5-3) Kantronics TNC's allow four trappable paths. || TNC-2 UIDIGI ver1.9 can have up to eight trappable paths: (UIDigiCall = WIDE5-4, WIDE5-3, WIDE4-4, WIDE4-3, WIDE4-2, WIDE3-3, WIDE3-2, WIDE2-2). || OpenTracker2's can trap hops of any WIDEn using HOPlimit, or set up to eight valid aliases with limits. || TinyTrack4's can allow up to three valid aliases:(WIDE1,WIDE2,NCA1) ignoring abusive paths.
- Emergency Paths TEMP and SSn-N paths are usually not trapped, or restrained. New Paradigm digis in Northern California with a "S" overlay will Digipeat NCAn-N. An emergency message could be propagated throughout Northern California by using a Path of NCA3-3. A path of NCA3-3,SCA3-3 will blanket the whole State, not advisable for routine traffic. TEMP is encouraged to be enabled in fillin digis, Home stations, and mobiles. It can be enabled in Kenwood D700 radios. This gives us another backup network path. Routine use of TEMP is discouraged on 144.390 MHz, except on Field Day or during emergencies.

7 Questions #9
Here is my funny photo:
This is one of my BFF's Sierra and I. Oh this night... This is the night where I learned it's a good thing I don't gamble. We were at a place called "Pirate Island" (hence the bandanna and balloon swords) both addicted to this game (yes, it's an arcade... not even a casino) and could NOT stop playing. I was chugging Dr. Pepper like nobody's business, there was a bit of crazy giggling, and flirting with the boy who worked there so he would keep giving us free tokens. (no, I wasn't the one who did the flirting. I stink at flirting.)
a few months later we were reunited with our favorite game... It was just as wonderful.
1. What is your favorite day of the week and why?
Ok, said in a much more respectful manner- Sunday. It is the day of rest, filled with great food, family, games, and of course- church. :)
2. If you decided to change your name, what would you change it to?
Such a tough one... I have a lot of names I love... Um, I really like the name Fallon. It also means "in charge" (just looked it up) which is what I like to be... haha!
3. What is one product you use (it can be for anything) that you feel is a miracle worker?
Oh my goodness this product is amazing! It's Dermalogica's Concealing Spot Treatment. It's not so good for the concealing factor (it's a real orangey color) but for the healing factor! I've been having THE worst breakout of my life (and that is NOT an exaggeration) and this stuff has been saving me. It has sulfur in it which is really good for excessive oil.
4. High heels, flats, sneakers, or boots?
Boots. :) I have a pair of booties that I wear...mmmm... pretty much every day.
5. You see your favorite celebrity (it can be any kid of celebrity- movie star, singer, writer, political leader, blogger) walking down the street, what do you do?
I don't care too much about regular celebrities. But if it were a blogger celebrity (Teaka, Elizabeth, Kendi, Naomi, and Nat just to name a few.) I would be the annoying fan that ran up to them, told them how much I love their blog, told them I was a blogger too in hopes that they'd check it out, and ask if I could take a picture with them. Yup. I'd be one of THOSE fans.
6. If you could pick one item to never have to pay for again, what would it be?
Gas. To be able to roadtrip for free? Awesooooooooome!
7. what was your favorite tv show or movie growing up?

I have to try that Dermalogica stuff. Good one on the gas. That would sure make it easy to do a lot of things. Does anyone ever win those contests where they give away gas for a full year? I'm sure it's a hoax. LOL.
- May 2, 2012 at 11:29 AM
- ShyScout said...
Haha. The photos are cracking me up. I used to love arcade games. How fun! I think unlimited gas money would be awesome too. I also want to meet those bloggers! I would probably be too nervous to say hello though :]

Excellent Invitation
I ordered all my wedding stationary from MagnetStreet and was very pleased with the quality, the service and the prices. Everyone loved my invitations and the stationary really helped to tie my whole theme together. I also loved that I was able to order samples and play around with the color schemes online. Overall I was very pleased and will definitely use them again in the future.

About Our Early Childhood Programs
Weekly themes correlating to areas of the Zoo and Aquarium are student-centered and designed to focus on students' expressed interests when possible. Parents will receive updates regarding weekly topics throughout the duration of the program.
Walk-up registrations will not be accepted. Registration closes one week prior to the first day of the session.
Toilet Training: All Early Childhood Learning participants, in classes without parents, must be completely toilet trained (requiring no assistance in the bathroom). Our definition of toilet trained means that the child is not wearing pull-ups and is able to manage his or her own clothing by him or herself. We highly suggest sending your child to Pre-K in elastic-waisted pants or shorts.
Animal Handling and Safety: To ensure the safety of our animals, we cannot guarantee any individual animal or class of animals. Just like people, animals sometimes have a bad day or are sick and not available. There may be opportunities for children to safely touch selected educational animals in the classroom. Please note, however, the final decision will be at the sole discretion of the animal handler and based on many factors including animal safety, group size, and behavior.
Cancellation Policy: This is a non-refundable final sale. Enrollment fees are not pro-rated and are due in full at registration. Credit will not be issued within two weeks of start date of program. The Dallas Zoo and Children's Aquarium at Fair Park reserves the right to cancel or change any program for reasons we deem appropriate. Programs will take place rain or shine. Programs that have not met the minimum number of participants within two weeks of the scheduled program date may be cancelled. In the event that we cancel your program, a full refund will be issued and individuals will be contacted directly. Credit may be used for any education program or camp at the Dallas Zoo or Children's Aquarium at Fair Park. All changes or cancellations must be submitted in writing to email@example.com.
The Education Office is open Monday-Friday during regular Zoo hours. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 469.554.7300

Bowlers say goodbye to Edmonds' Robin Hood Lanes
Genna Martin / The Herald
Helen and Jack Peterson watch as Eileen Jacoby, 92, bowls her last game at Robin Hood Lanes.

Helen Peterson (right) hugs Marina Ekonomakis before leaving Robin Hood Lanes on Wednesday. Peterson has bowled at the once a week for the past four years, and Ekonomakis has worked there for ten years.

Eileen Jacoby, 92, bowls her last game at Robin Hood Lanes. She has been bowling every Wednesday at Robin Hood for the past four years.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Eileen Jacoby (right) talks to Jack Peterson during her last game at Robin Hood Lanes. They have been bowling every Wednesday at Robin Hood for the past four years. The bowling alley, which opened in 1960, will close for good Thursday.

Genna Martin / The Herald
Helen Peterson, 84, bowls her last game at Robin Hood Lanes.
It rolled slowly toward the gutter, then curved back toward the pins and gently pushed them all over like dominos.
"Those are rare for me," she said with a beaming smile.
Jacoby did it twice more, in a row, in the same game.
"Are you just trying to show off for me?" said Helen Peterson, 84, one of Jacoby's bowling partners at Robin Hood Lanes on Wednesday.
Perhaps, or maybe the nonagenarian wanted to make the best of her last time at the bowling alley, which is scheduled to close for good at the end of business tonight.
The building's owner, John Guenther, sold the land, at 9801 Edmonds Way to California-based Seven Hills Properties, which plans to tear down the bowling alley and build a Walgreens store and a bank on the parcel.
It will be the first time since 1960 that the property will be home to anything other than Robin Hood Lanes.
"We're so sad. We're in here all the time," said Esther Jones, 13, of Edmonds.
"I'm not crying now, but I will," said Josi Jones, Esther's mom.
Jones, 42, said she's been coming to Robin Hood Lanes since she attended Edmonds High School in the 1980s.
Her son, Ellis, 16, works part time at the bowling alley. Sometimes she drives her kids down, sometimes they ride their bikes.
Now she'll be driving them to Brunswick Majestic Lanes on 164th Street SW and Kenmore Lanes in Kenmore, she said.
With Sunset Lanes in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood closing in 2008 and Leilani Lanes in north Seattle closing in 2005, bowling space has become increasingly tight in the area.
Robin Hood Lanes is almost always packed in the evenings, Ellis Jones said. It's home to more than 20 leagues, and some of them won't have a place to go because of the space crunch, said Charlie Pascoe, one of the owners of the Edmonds bowling business.
Several groups of seniors became regulars at Robin Hood when the alleys in Seattle closed, said Marina Ekonomakis, Robin Hood's office manager.
Peterson and her husband Jack, 87, along with Jacoby and Frank Sidbeck, 76, were among them. All four live in Seattle.
Helen Peterson said they were welcomed with open arms at Robin Hood.
"Everyone who works here is so nice," she said. "They let us bring our own cookies."
Sidbeck said he first bowled at Robin Hood Lanes in 1963. Peterson has been coming off and on for nearly 40 years.
"I've got to find some other form of exercise and I hate to exercise," she said.
On the other end of the age spectrum, "I wonder what the kids are going to do," Jacoby said.
The alley has 20 employees but only a few are full time, Pascoe said.
Some have already found other jobs, cook Cindy Wilson said. She's going to take the summer off and then will have a job at Evergreen Lanes in Everett.
Pascoe has been at Robin Hood Lanes since 1980. He's received some offers from other alleys, he said.
Still, he and others are bitter.
"There's no reason for us to go anywhere, we're making great money, but we didn't own the land and they bought it from underneath us," he said.
Guenther, the building's former owner, could not be reached for comment.
"I think it's kind of silly," said Clay Iverson, 69, who bowls in a couple of senior leagues and volunteers every day at the alley.
"There's a pharmacy down there at QFC and Bartell's (nearby) and they want to build another one here. Just what we need," he said.
Robin Hood Lanes will serve a roast beef special for dinner tonight, the final night.
"I'm trying to keep my head up and a smile on and keep the customers happy like we've been doing for years," Pascoe said.

OK. I just finished this book and I can honestly say it scared the living daylights out of me, and if I ever go to Thailand (seems actually quite imminent as my brother is marrying a girl from there) I will be going nowhere near the Gulf of Thailand, and I will certainly not be visiting any marine parks. I might even avoid the Khao San Road, just in case.
Before I launch into my complicated retelling of everything in the book I loved and hated, I must first say that the movie is a completely inaccurate summary of the novel. They eliminate an entire character, who is pivotal to the story. And they throw in a few completely unnecessary sex scenes that don't occur in the book.
Anyway. The book begins in a fairly acceptable manner, and it seems legit. Everything makes sense and it seems like something an ex-backpacker could actually have written. In fact, it seems legit up until well past the point where the group actually arrive on the Beach, give or take a suicide and some crazy dreams which inform the narrator of things he wouldn't have known otherwise.
No. The book enters into serious surrealism around the point that [SPOILERS AHEAD] Richard, narrator, is asked to 'take care of' a crazy Swede named Karl, who has been rendered insane through watching his two friends be mutilated in a shark attack. The book reaches the absolute peak of it's peculiarity near the end, though, when one scene sees, firstly, several rigor-mortified corpses being deposited in the camp, and secondly, the [completely twisted] beach community taking to them with knives and dismembering them.
It's basically Lord of the Flies, but with grown-ups and weed, and though it terrified me, I loved it. The concept is phenomenal, the characters are richly illustrated, the set-up makes you wish you could live in a similar community, and as I mentioned before, you believe it could be true right up until the end.
Probably the height of terrifying is the shark attack on the three Swedes (Sten, Christo and Karl, who seem like lovely chaps) which prevented me from sleeping for several hours after I forced myself to put the book away. It's not made easier to handle by the fact that Richard tells you they're about to get into trouble, but kindly leaves out details.
Anyway. READ IT. You … may well regret it, but it's an achievement to have read and you will certainly enjoy it. It's also relatively recent (only 1996) and so there are several pop culture references in there that even I (and I am rather young) understood. Lovely.
It's by Alex Garland. Track it down.

Since her childhood, Tiffanie DiDonato was challenged to believe that big things can happen to little people.
It was a belief that her parents instilled early, knowing that she would need courage to face a world full of obstacles as a person living with a rare form of dwarfism. However, the 31-year-old military wife, mother and writer uses her experiences and a new book to change lives around the world with a new perspective.
"My mom's not at all surprised by this," she said. "She said to me 'I know you'll always be something great.'"
In her memoir "Dwarf," DiDonato fills each page with emotional details about being born with diastrophic dysplasia that left her with a normal torso and abnormally short arms and legs. It describes her journey through several painful and controversial bone-lengthening procedures starting at eight that allows the once three feet, eight inch girl to now stand 14 inches taller.
Published by Penguin Group and Plume Books, DiDonato shares intimate memories of her upbringing in
"I want readers to get past the title, and I named this book 'Dwarf' to be defiant because that was a label that has been plastered on me since the day I was born," she said. "I don't believe in labels at all."
DiDonato's story has garnered international recognition over the years, most recently appearing in spreads for Allure and London Times Magazine and interviews on ABC News and "Anderson Cooper." Even as she posed in designer clothes and makeup during photo shoots, DiDonato admitted that she battled insecurity from the scars on her legs and feet due to years of surgery to stand tall and smile.
"It was really crazy to do it barefoot, but I thought why not, it's me and I fought really hard for who I am," DiDonato recalled from her Allure photo shoot in
As a toddler, DiDonato's parents agreed to allow her first surgeries to relieve joint and bone deformities before she underwent the first bone-lengthening procedure. Her decision to go through the surgery again at 15 came with excruciating costs as she learned to function with braces and crutches. As she looks at her life now, DiDonato considers the pain to be all worth it.
"Coming from the perspective of being a little girl trapped in that chair with wires and surgery and pins and puss from infections to feel glamorous and have music and a diva fan and people primping and putting makeup on … I started crying," DiDonato said.
As a teen, DiDonato used words to help her endure each surgery. When medication and exercise therapy left her groggy and drained, writing in her journal brought healing from within.
"I started writing this when I was 15 or 16 — it was never supposed to be a book," she said. "It was that I hated the pain and pain meds … I wanted control back and a way to cope."
DiDonato found the confidence to share her writings during college after wandering into an advanced writing class when she was just a freshman.
"It actually got me into the class," she said "We had read portions of what we wrote and read them out loud a few times. A few of the students cried and I thought maybe I have something."
Since then, writing has continued to be a form of therapy and a fulfilling career. DiDonato writes as a weekly columnist for Encore Magazine and feels delighted to be a published author. Writing her memoir has allowed opportunities to meet a range of inspirational people from actress Jane Seymour to everyday wives and mothers who support her decision to endure the bone lengthening surgery. However, she has also faced backlash from others about her open discussion of the surgery.
"I've gotten a lot of negative responses, I think I'm the most hated person in the whole, entire country among the little people community," DiDonato said. "They are against what I have done, and against the book. I have been personally told that by writing this book, I have set the little people community back years of trying to being seen as equal in the community and that I betrayed God."
DiDonato stressed that the surgery was right for her, but may not be a suitable option for everyone. Even through the controversy, DiDonato still finds others struggling with dwarfism and other disabilities and gives them courage to overcome criticism.
"I think the hardest is when I get messages from moms interested in bone lengthening because their children have dwarfism but are afraid to come out and say it and don't know what to do," she said. "I tell them, don't listen to other people's parenting advice."
As a new mom, DiDonato called her own pregnancy a "wonderful experience" despite the risk of potentially having a baby with the same disorder. Although Titan was born with a normal height development, she wants to teach him about the acceptance of others who may be different.
"I don't want him to judge others or believe in labels, I want him to respect everybody and love everybody for who they are," she said. "I'll tell him 'Your mom has been judged and labeled and it hurts, and I don't want to you to do that to someone else.' I want him to learn to never give up and always fight no matter the opposition."
DiDonato said that she would like to meet other disabled military wives and moms and hear stories of how they balance daily life.
"I feel being a parent you're constantly adapting and rolling with the punches and it's not like a fool proof job," she said. "I know all about adapting and overcoming, so that gives me a bit of solace that all parents go though this."
As she promotes her new book, DiDonato also plans to write a fiction novel with her husband and a children's book series about value of differences. She also wants to begin another memoir as she continues to reach new heights in her life.
"I want it to inspire people to embrace their lives and to appreciate the little things … I love being able to wash my son's bottles with out struggle and I love taking out the trash," DiDonato said. "I look at him and he smiles and every sense of pain, every discomfort that I could ever have goes away."

West Point fire and police officials are still trying to piece together the reasons for a fire that destroyed a large portion of a South Division Street home Thursday night.
Around 8 p.m. that night, the West Point Fire Department was called to 724 South Division Street, and once firemen arrived they saw that the house was already in flames with heavy smoke billowing from the home.
West Point Fire Chief Johnnie Littlefield said it appeared that the fire broke out in a back room of the home, which was in the renovation process by Garnett Enterprises in preparation to be rented out to a tenant.
Littlefield said there was medium to heavy damage in the southwest corner of the house, and firemen stayed on scene for more than an hour trying to extinguish the fire, clear the smoke away and check for hot spots.
There was temporary electricity hooked up at the residence, and the meter was pulled shortly after fire officials arrived on scene. It is unclear at this point if electricity may have contributed to the cause of the fire. No one was injured in the fire, and no one was present once fireman got there.
Moments after fire officials arrived police were called to the scene to investigate the possibility of an attempted burglary at the home, but West Point Chief of Police Tim Brinkley said at this time it is uncertain if there was an attempted burglary at the residence.
"It was reported by a man working on the property earlier that the back door was open once he got there, but how it was opened we don't know," Brinkley said. "There were no tools in the house nor was there anything else of value in the house."
At this point there are very few leads to solve this possible attempted burglary case, which remains under investigation. As for the fire, Littlefield said the cause of it is undetermined and the Police Department is not authorized to investigate the cause of fires even if foul play may have been involved.
"As a police agency we are not the experts on how these fires get started," Brinkley said. "We look to the Fire Department and the fire investigators' training to determine that, thus we cannot comment on the cause of the fire."
If anyone noticed any suspicious activity around this South Division home Thursday night or has any further information about the incident they are urged to call the West Point Police Department at 662-494-1244.

I received these labels to enhance the wedding invitations which match. I was so impressed with the quality and appearance to these. They are small so I was worried about the clarity of the writing/image but that was wasted worry as they truly are well done. Very professional looking and perfect for our theme. I can't wait to get the invitations.
I simply love the rustic Peacock design. Everything from design to color turned out perfect! The few questions I had were quickly responded to. The "just one" I ordered came very fast and I was able to change a few things that I noticed. I then ordered my full set and they came in a beautiful box and packaged perfectly. I LOVE IT!
