Firstly.. I am not sure if I should have put this tip on the "Oklahoma City " page or not !!!but seeing that this is a "National Museum" and as such..is a significant part of this great State a Museum that also says so much about Oklahoma .SO....I have decided to put it here..
This wonderful Western Heritage Museum ...and I mean that in the true sense of the word...I was just so impressed by this amazing Museum and its contents..This is the real America..This museum lays out the whole of the Western history of the State and the nation showing the country's huge Western "cowboy" and "native American influence from the pioneers , the native American indians right through to the present day cowboy and Native American ..depicting the grit courage ,tenacity passion and glory of what was and is the west.
Upon entry the first thing to catch my eye is the amazing sculpture by James Earle Fraser of the Native American Indian on his horse at the " End of 'The Trail" standing 18 feet tall and weighing over four tons this awe inspiring sculpture creates a powerful first impression that reflects the legacy of the defeated "Indian warrior" .. bound for oblivion.. "The Trail of Tears" a very sad episode in the early part of American History..One cannot be helped but be overwhelmed by the "lifelike " intracacies in this magnificent sculpture .
This is truly a huge museum with "everything " western.. from its history to its characters, its film stars, its artists, painters sculptures, along with an amazing amount of, western saddles. weapons, clothing and an inumerable amount of personal trophies, and weapons .. The late John Wayne bequeathed his whole collection of guns and other weapons,, trophies and all his movie memorabilia to the Museum in 1979 and there are also many other items that have been donated by many "cowboys" whether famous or not..
Located in the " Western Performers Gallery" is a cinema..showing old "cowboy films" with many old "movie" posters of old cowboy Heroes ..like Gene Autrey ,, Gabby Hayes, Hopalong Cassidy, The Lone Ranger and Tonto...etc.etc.. Prosperity Junction displays an old early western cattle town in an evening setting along with Salloon ,Sherrifs Office and Jail, various shops, school room..etc..
See the many displays of wonderful native American clothing ..there is just .so much ..
suffice to say..!! There are so many different areas covering many different themes . get the colour coded map on entry to navigate yourself around..
Allow yourself a lot of time here as you will no doubt be overwhelmed by the incredible amount to be seen and enjoyed with what this wonderful and truly American museum has to offer the visitor. I loved it ...One of the greatest Museums that I have seen in the world..

The Castle of Muskogee
In May we stepped back in time to 1539 at The Castle of Muskogee's Oklahoma Renaissance Festival. We visit several of the shops. We ate at the newly built Italian Quarter, where they had some of the best pizza I have every had. While we ate we watched a magic show. Then we attended the living chess match. We got insulted by man that was in the stalks begging to be hit with rotten fruit. My oldest daughter got her face painted with a beautiful picture. There was even a man blowing bubbles for even the littlest of guest. My mother even enjoyed looking at the handsome actors. LOL. My whole family had a really great time and we can't wait until the next one in May!Related to:

Twin Bridges State Park
While on a cross-country road trip in August, 2005, I stopped and camped at this beautiful state park in the northeastern corner of Oklahoma. The park sits at the confluence of the Neosho and Spring Rivers and is especially popular with fishermen and boaters. The 63-acre park has 160 campsites, from modern to rustic. Other recreational ammenities include volleyball, horseshoes and playgrounds. This is a peaceful and serene area, and a great place for a quiet getaway or a family vacation.
The area around Twin Bridges consists of the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma. There is a casino nearby, and much of native American historical and cultural interest to explore.Related to:

Old North Tower, Edmond
This is the first building constructed in Oklahoma Territory for the purposes of higher education. Known then as the Territorial Normal School, its classes first assembled in a nearby Methodist church before this building rose on its present site in January 1893. This National Historic Site remains Edmond's most impressive historic building, and sitting as it does on the edge of campus, it still serves higher education by quartering the administration for the University of Central Oklahoma.Related to:

Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City is a medium sized city that seems like a nice place. We spent one night there, and visited the History Center that is located across from the Capitol building ( see photo). We did not actually visit the Capitol building but I just took a photo of it, since it looked nice:)
After going through some travel brochures at the hotel we were staying at, and we only had limited time, we decided on the museum, but there are a few other things I would have liked to do , like visit the livestock auction, or the Cowboy museum.Related to:

Oklahoma History Center
We spent an entire morning at the Oklahoma History Center, and it was well worth it! There are several different exhibits, all of them interesting. I enjoyed the Pioneer section the most, and the Native American section. The kids liked the current Rock'n Roll exhibit.
The exhibits about the pioneers detailed Oklahoma history, and had a lot of stuff to look at like the replica of one of the wagons the early settlers arrived in. I found the whole land rush thing interesting. Basically, the government opened up the State of Oklahoma, and said " ready, set, go! " and whoever got to a piece of land first, could just claim it. The result was a race to get the land of course. Some "cheated" , the "Sooners" took off early...so they got a lot of the land before everyone else got there. The "Dust Bowl" section was ...scary! It is hard to imagine that this very productive looking State was at one point 80 or so years ago covered with sand and dust and people were starving, just because of bad land management ( and drought, but they have those now also sometimes). The weather is another problem in Oklahoma, they have it ALL, tornados, blizzards, floods, droughts. I think the only thing missing is hurricanes.
So, if you find yourself in Oklahoma City and have time for only one thing, this museum would be my choice.Related to:

Black Mesa Highest Point
We were going to hike up Black Mesa, the highest point in Oklahoma but stopped way short of the top because it was just too hot ( over 100 at 9 AM already) , dusty and dry.
The area is really in the middle of nowhere, and takes a while to get to. It is in the far north-west corner of Oklahoma, right at the border with Colorado and New Mexico.
The hike is over 8 miles round trip but we probably only hiked a few miles down the trail. You have to hike all the way around the Mesa to the other side from the parking lot before you even start climbing. A mesa is basically a flat top rock. This one isn't even that high, just over 4000 ft. Maybe next time.....Related to:

Tulsa Air & Space Museum & Planetarium
The Air & Space Museum itself is relatively small; it is just one large room that houses maybe a dozen planes & artifacts. If you are very into air & space I'm sure you will find it much more interesting than I did, but I was mostly there for the planetarium. The planetarium has several showings throughout the day; the one I saw was about astronauts. I found it very interesting. The guide started off by showing us Tulsa's night sky & pointing out various stars and clusters and answering questions. Then it moved on to the astronaut presentation.
TASM is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 am to 5 pm. And on Sundays 1 pm to 5 pm. TASM is closed on Mondays and Major Holidays.
Admission includes Hangar One Museum and One Planetarium show.
Adults $12
Seniors (62 & over) $9

Tulsa: Utica Square Shopping and Lunch
The area that is the most asthetically pleasing is Utica Square in Tulsa. The trees are huge and there are flowers everywhere. It has a neighborhood, laid back but classy feel to it. I liked going to the Utica Square area because not only do they have lots of browsing and restaurants but it is near other things to do if you like parks or driving about. I like the nearby rose garden on Peoria. There also used to be shops and dining, music on Cherry St. which is near 15th and Peoria I believe. Utica is quaint, well manicured. There are lots of choices for restaurants and shopping in a boutique like shopping area. Seems that the restaurants are cleaner and modern. I haven't lived there since 1999, so a lot of things may have changed, but recently visited a Utica Square website and the restaurants and some shops are listed. I know this is a well lit area at night and is quite pretty all year round.Related to:

Turner Falls
One of the most beautiful places on Earth. Located in the heart of the Arbuckle Mountains, this place is a major go-to place during the summer. Lots of swimming, laying out, and other activities. During the fall and winter, camping and hiking. But, the major attraction are the falls. The waterfall is absolutely magnificent.
There is even an old castle that used to me the home of a prominent Oklahoma Native. You are unable to enter it due to it's closing and vandals (jerks), but it's still a sight to see.Related to:

Will Rogers Memorial Museum
Will Rogers is well known for his statement, "I never met a man I didn't like." And I doubt that there is a person anywhere who knows much about Will Rogers and doesn't like him - or at least his memory.
Will Rogers just may be Oklahoma's all-time favorite son. He was born in a log cabin in Oologah, and buried in the family tomb, in a regal sunken garden at this memorial, in nearby Claremore, OK.
During his remarkable life, 1879-1935, Will Rogers was a trick roper, pundit, world traveler, star of Braodway and 71 movies, radio commentator, newspaper columnist and author. He is best remembered as a humorit-philosopher and an inspiring, kindly role model.
I was personally very inspired by my visiit to the Will Rogers Memorial Museum. It is on the campus of Rogers State University in Claremore, OK. There are eight very well presented galleries with theaters, interavctive TV, art and artifacts depicting Rogers' amazing and wholesome life.
The museum and memorial is open 365 Days a Year: 8:00 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. Admission is by voluntary contributions.Related to:

After opening the season by winning close games, the Buffalo Sabres are proving they can also blow out their opponents.
The Sabres look for their seventh straight victory to start the season when they host the surging Carolina Hurricanes on Friday.
Buffalo won each of its first four games by one goal, including three in shootouts, but has outscored its last two opponents 16-5.
The Sabres routed Philadelphia 9-1 on Tuesday for their 11th straight regular-season win overall, matching the club record for longest winning streak spanning two seasons. Buffalo also won 11 in a row from April 1-Oct. 26, 1975. The franchise record for consecutive victories in one season is 10, set in 1983-84.
The Sabres are now two wins shy of matching the best start in club history set in 1975-76.
"We've gotten fortunate, we've gotten some bounces, some breaks and some things to go our way," Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said. "Right now, we've gotten ourselves on a roll and I've often said that breeds a lot of confidence and you don't think you'll lose."
After a scoreless opening 20 minutes Tuesday, the Sabres scored six second-period goals on 12 shots and went 3-for-4 on the power play.
Maxim Afinogenov had a goal and four assists, Thomas Vanek had two goals and two assists, and Chris Drury added his team-high seventh goal to extend his point streak to six games.
Buffalo opened the season with a 3-2 shootout victory at Carolina (3-3-1) on Oct. 4 in a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference finals. The defending Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes then went on to lose their next three games, but have since won three in a row, including a 5-1 victory over Tampa Bay on Monday.
Carolina was outscored 18-7 during it four-game skid to open the season, but has a 14-5 scoring advantage in its last three contests. In their victory over the Lightning, the Hurricanes went 3-for-7 on the power play after going just 4-for-37 (10.8 percent) in their first six games.
Justin Williams broke out of his scoring slump on Monday by recording his first career hat trick.
"It's nice to get off the goose egg," said Williams, who had 31 goals last season. "Sometimes they find a way of going in. I had a lot of scoring opportunities tonight and sometimes that's the way the puck goes."
Cam Ward made 34 saves against the Lightning, losing the bid for his first regular-season shutout with 2:13 left in the third period.
"The win is all that matters," said Ward, who had two shutouts in the playoffs last season.
Ward stopped 30 shots in Carolina's season-opening loss to Buffalo, while Ryan Miller made 32 saves and stopped all three shootout attempts for the Sabres. Miller, who won 30 games last season, has a 2.48 goals-against average in five starts.
"We're playing good hockey and we're still learning about ourselves," Miller said. "Each night there are adjustments to be made and we want to just keep having fun with it."
The Hurricanes wrap up their season-high seven-game road trip on Saturday with a matchup against the New York Islanders.

Replacing a toilet that has a lead soil pipe lead out. Anyone have experience with connecting a new PVC bowl flange to the existing lead soil pipe?
The new PVC Flange fits into the lead pipe snuggly, do you think 5200 marine adhesive will seal it water tight?
Replacing the the lead pipe is not and option, way to complicated with all the connections that come into it.
Thanks for your input.

Replacing a toilet that has a lead soil pipe lead out. Anyone have experience with connecting a new PVC bowl flange to the existing lead soil pipe?
Posted September 11 2006 - 1:50 PM
You can by a rubber boot at home depot. Fit one end of the cast pipe in the one side of the boot and the pvc in the other, clamp them down and your sett.
Posted September 11 2006 - 3:06 PM
I wish it were that easy. The lead (as in heavy) pipe is 4 inch inside diameter and the PVC flange is 4 inch outside diameter. Need to use something to make the seal water tight.
But thanks for the reply'
Posted September 11 2006 - 3:10 PM
Its cast iron not lead.
It is that easy I have a pipe like that, Been 6 years now.
Posted September 11 2006 - 3:21 PM
It probably is cast. Never seen lead.
The 4" boot should stretch enough to fit over the cast. It may be a tight fit but will probably work.

You can lube up the pipe with some dish soap before you fit it on, it will help get the boot on the larger pipe. You can soak it in hot (tap hot) water for 10 minutes before you put it on too...it will make it a bit more pliable .

There were some lead pipes used between floor flange and cast iron traps. I had one in my old farmhouse. Son has place now and replaced everything with PVC. I thought about scrounging the old one to cast sinkers, but decided to stay with wheel weights. I've seen a couple of others and my ex-fatherinlaw who was a plumber/handyman said they were not that uncommon around here.

Using a Fernco fitting is the fastest and easiest way to solve your problem, however it won't meet codes in most municipalities.
Posted September 12 2006 - 4:47 AM
You don't attatch a PVC anything to a lead bend*.
You need a brass closet flange that slips over the bend and then the lead is peened over it. This is probably not a home depot item, your best bet is visit to a decent plumbing supply house.
Otherwise, remove the lead bend back to the CI and run new PVC so you can use the flange. Depending on what's below, a licensed plumber may be ultimately be the low cost option .
* Although lead bends are not commonly used in the 'burbs, they are used every day in NYC where plastic pipes are prohibited.

Why won't I match the PVC to the lead?
Yes, it is and old farm house and it is a lead pipe elbow. It had a brass toilet ring that failed and wet the ceiling below. I want to repalce the brass with a PVC ring that fits into the lead, only need to make it water tight. Also want to put in a wax ring that wasn't used before. Aparently they used plumbers putty to make the seal.
Don't really want to replace the hole nine yards with PVC, as two other lead drains run into this elbow and that means ripping up the whole bathroom floor.
Posted September 12 2006 - 6:05 AM
what gadwall said.
is it cast or lead?
HD sells a toilet flange that has a compression collar. you slide it into the toilet riser, secure it to the floor, then tighten the hex screws. tie a string to the allen wrench so when you drop it down the riser you can retrieve it.
Posted September 12 2006 - 10:13 AM
Wow, don't want to be an as* here, but how many times do I have to say IT IS LEAD, (like in lead weight)!
Posted September 13 2006 - 6:46 PM
I'm no plumber, but I watch a plumber flange a lead bend almost every month.
You match the closet flange to the pipe, brass to lead and CI, PVC to PVC, etc.
Please understand that the lead gets peened over the flange- That means beat with a hammer.
If you are married to your PVC flange change the pipe.
Posted September 14 2006 - 1:29 PM
More married to the lead. The PVC is a up grade to allow for a wax seal. The brass flange doesn't have a tapered inset and the lead pipe broke at the hammered seal originally.

Here's a tip!
Pay very close attention to what coppertrout tells you. He knows what he is talking about!

So if I (or the webservice) accidentally deletes my mails, Thunderbird will synchronize and also delete everything. So this is my problem: I would like to backup everything from the imap server.

text: No I don't mean the six foot tall ones. I mean the little field mice that seem to be everywhere in the park. I was at club buzz where my son was feeding the birds some of his sandwich. The mice are so aggressive that they attack the birds to get some bread! I must have counted fifteen of them as I was sitting next to the old people mover station. The mice are so tame you can practically pick them up. How come the cats don't visit tomorrowland?

Just outside of Duncan, on Vancouver Island, a small, family-owned slaughterhouse processed sheep, pigs and a few cattle. The owner had learned the trade from his father and still drove the 1960 stock truck he had inherited.
The butcher respected animals. When they were dropped off at his abattoir, they went into holding pens with fresh bedding, clean water and familiar feed. They stayed there until they had recovered from the stress caused by the short journey from nearby farms. When they were calm, he dispatched them quickly, one at a time, away from the sound or smell of those still waiting.
Contamination was never linked to the operation. The farmers who came to him were satisfied. So were their customers.
B.C. Repairs a System That Was Not Broken
None of that mattered when the provincial government declared that by September 2007, every abattoir in British Columbia would have to comply with regulations that matched those in place at federally inspected plants. Their announcement claimed, "With a modern meat inspection system in place across the province, the meat and livestock industry will enjoy greater certainty, consumer confidence and growth opportunities."
I remember trying to track down evidence that the small abattoirs were responsible for any of the contamination that had sickened consumers. Plenty of fingers pointed at the national and international meat processors, such as Cargill, Tyson and Maple Leaf. None pointed at the small abattoirs. That does not mean every small abattoir was a model of high standards, but in the communities they served, bad actors had no place to hide. When word got around, they found themselves without customers.
Big Setback for Small Producers
When the new regulations came into full force in 2007, the province contracted with the BC Food Processors Association to assist slaughterhouses with the construction and food safety plans now required. Most simply closed their doors. By July 2010, there were only 37 inspected abattoirs and two mobile units in the entire province.
A few dozen abattoirs near a large enough supply of livestock to make a business case sank hundreds of thousands of dollars into upgrades. Most of the mom-and-pop operations went out of business. Many farmers on smallholdings sold off flocks or herds. Rural communities were disrupted as feed stores, equipment dealers and livestock auctions lost business.
Large slaughterhouses already set up for inter-provincial and international trade were not interested in processing small lots of animals. Farmers were not interested in trucking their animals long distances, paying higher costs and being uncertain whether they would get back meat from the same animals they shipped.

so sad
Don't eat meat and there would be no demand for slaughter houses or inspections. I choose to not contribute to animal abuse and don't eat meat or dairy. The Federal government needs to be responsible to make sure our food is safe and that includes fruits and veggies.
Thanks. Very interesting article.
thanks great article
Great article.
I don't know where Grace A. is paying for eggs, but I've always found that p'butter lasts longer, for more meals.
Good article. What will the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (the federal agency that is no longer inspecting some meat, DareToCare) do when there is another situation like Walkerton? It will be too late after people have died from lack of inspection.
Eggs are cheaper than peanut butter. I don't care how badly large commercial egg companies treat their hens, I eat what I can afford to buy.

My web application, written in Backbone.js, has what I call a number of "Modes". Each mode describes which models and views that are currently active. By changing the mode parameter in the hash (#) I switch between modes and instantiate necessary Backbone models & views.
It seems logical to also describe the preferred layout and inject the container html code on a mode level.
Let's say the mode "PopulationPyramidMode" has a model and 3 Backbone views. The "HeaderView" should take up 30 pixels vertically. The "SidebarView" should take up 200 pixels horizontally and the "CanvasView" should fill moist of the screen and scale on resize events.
To complicate things further, the CanvasView holds a visualization which must be re-rendered on resize, i.e. the x/y-scales must be re-calculated.
So, what is the best approach to this?
1) Where should the layout logic go?
- On a separate layoutManager - and in that case how?
- Should each view describe its preferred size etc?
2) How do I inject the necessary HTML/CSS for my layouts and switch between them?

Thanks for any specific hints and also on JavaScript layouts in general!

I really enjoy the Vendors and food we have at school.

The headings and the descriptions of these questions don't match on any page, so based on the description the off-campus housing is good. Lots of options in Omaha at all price ranges.
Off-Campus Dining:
Not a lot of scholarships offered by the school since it is small, but they do exist.
Some of the folks are very quick to reply and help, others never seem to look at their e-mail, so replies take forever. My opinion is they are either not efficient or they have too much on their plate. I'm persistent and kind to make sure I get the help I need.

We bring our own laptop if we choose to use one, it's not required. Wireless connectivity is reliable and instructors are always willing to help if using an online textbook

Few parties on campus. Mostly happens off campus.

Lots to do, if you have the time and money
I got approx $5000/year from the school

Crucial 256 GB 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive - SATA - CT256MX100SSD1
Customer Reviews of Crucial 256 GB 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive - SATA
SSD for a great price5/11/2015
I purchased about a dozen of these to improve performance on work pc's. They all included Acronis True Image which is a breeze to use. I actually installed smaller drives than were originally in pc's and had no problem. These drives are super fast and will probably get at least extra two or more years life out of these pc's.
Cloning S/W not working9/19/2014
H/W is ok. Cloning S/W did not work. Downloaded Acronis to clone.
Great SSD for the price8/25/2014
We have been using Crucial SSDs in hundreds of client computers since the M4 model several years ago, including the M500 that this model replaces. The price vs. performance is very hard to beat. Also note that Crucial uses Micron Technology memory. Support an American based company. Highly recommended!
SSD for price8/15/2014
Good SSD. I decided between kingston hyper x and this model. This is more sleek than kingston. And performance wise didn't see much difference.
Crucial MX1008/14/2014
Installed and booted no problem. Loads windows in 15 seconds. Got a great deal too.
Great Drive7/29/2014
This has all the features like encryption support for a great price. Given the published reliability of these drive over the samsung, you can't go wrong unless you need that little extra performance from Samsung's top of the line offerings.
