Re: need to know if you really are interested in a petition to Blair.
Its been in the news today that homecare around britain cant cope with the demand of house to house calls to elderly people. Only allowing 15 minutes with a person thats not enough time at all, you cannot blame the homecare staff who are over worked and under paid, its the system.
I work with homecare staff and they all agree with me that taking away daily visits like meals on wheels, is a disaster waiting to happen.
So we have a situation were mr Blair and his people want less contact for elderly people and junk food to eat.

Re: need to know if you really are interested in a petition to Blair.
Here is an e mail i found on a blogg it tells the story of why meals on wheels needs to stay fresh food delivery.
True life example of what could happen when the elderly are faced with a frozen meal option. Sit up and take note !! It is not to late to save the valuable meals on wheels service.
Monday will be a public holiday, so mum and dad have been delivered some frozen Meals on Wheels to tide them over the long weekend. Which reminds me of this fact: Meals on Wheels is the greatest bulwark we have against mum and dad's further decline.
I cannot remember when we started using Meals on Wheels, but it was over a year ago.
We discovered that mum and dad's diet had degenerated to something near bread and water levels. We probably should have seen the warning signs earlier, but in those days we still assumed that what we didn't know was fine. Both mum and dad were getting thinner (though few see this as a problem these days), paler, less energetic, and less cheerful. It was only when we saw the evidence of their diet that we put the whole picture together and realised that they were already some way into serious malnourishment.
During the day they were eating biscuits [note: given that over 90% of this weblog's readership is American I now wonder whether I ought to be saying 'cookies'], crisps (potato chips) and chocolate. Dinner was literally bread and butter. The only commendable part of their diet was that dad still occasionally brought home a few apples and oranges.
Our (Regan's) first step was to order frozen Meals on Wheels, which were delivered in weekly batches. This almost immediately proved to be a bad idea. Not only were mum and dad not able to shop properly, we now discovered that they could no longer prepare their food either. The frozen meals simply accumulated in the freezer, the fridge, and even in cupboards. Every time there was a delivery, dad would call one of us in a panic.
'You won't believe this, but someone has just come round here and left a huge, a really huge, stack of food for us. We're never going to be able to eat all this food. Where's it coming from, anyway? We didn't order this. We haven't got the money to pay for this. Mike, you've got to speak to these people and tell them,' here he switched to the pedantic lecturing mode that we all know so well, '"We do NOT, I repeat, NOT want any more of this food". It's ridiculous, what they're bringing here.'
We thought things might settle down pretty quickly but they didn't. I wished aloud it was like it used to be in the old days, when Meals on Wheels delivered hot dinners to the oldies, hunched over in their terraced houses, watching 'Crossroads' on TV. I mentioned this to Regan, who told me that if that was what we wanted, Meals on Wheels were quite able to comply. The frozen service was an 'as well as', not an 'instead of'.
Mum and dad soon adapted to the hot deliveries. They'd be sitting either side of the table, knives and forks held vertically, watching the minutes tick away and, presumably, salivating like Pavlov's dogs. There were a few adjustments to be made before we got the size of the meals right. Dessert is in, soup is out. Fruit juice is in. Mum rarely finishes her main course without encouragement (which she does not get from dad) or help (which she does get from Tippi). The desserts are often put into the fridge and eaten later, but otherwise things are just right now. I'd go much further: I'd say that Meals on Wheels is the one social service that has turned out an unmitigated success. Without it, mum and dad would surely have to be in a home by now.
The meal deliveries are just the basics. It is the embellishments of the service that are most impressive. All the volunteers I've met have been exceptionally nice to mum and dad. They often bring little sachets of cat food for the cats too, and of the four birthday cards dad got this year, one of them was from the Meals on Wheels people, covered in signatures. All for $6 a day. I rang them and thanked them for it.

Re: need to know if you really are interested in a petition to Blair.
Heres a bit of fun for a change instead of gloom and doom.
Cats and Heaven
A cat dies and goes to Heaven. God meets him at the gate
and says, "You've been a good cat all of these years.
Anything you desire is yours, all you have to do is ask."
The cats says, "Well, I lived all my life with a poor
family on a farm and had to sleep on hardwood floors."
God says, "Say no more." And instantly, a fluffy pillow appears.
A few days later, 6 mice are killed in a tragic accident
and they go to Heaven. God meets them at the gate with
the same offer that He made the cat.
The mice said, "All our lives we've had to run. We've been
chased by cats, dogs and even women with brooms. If we could
only have a pair of roller skates, we wouldn't have to run anymore."
God says, 'Say no more.' And instantly,
each mouse is fitted with a beautiful
pair of tiny roller skates.
About a week later, God decides to check and see how the
cat is doing. The cat is sound asleep on his new pillow.
God gently wakes him and asks,
"How are you doing? Are you happy here?"
The cat yawns and stretches and says...
"Oh, I've never been happier in my life. And those
Meals on Wheels you've been sending over are the best."

Re: need to know if you really are interested in a petition to Blair.
I would sign it, I used to do a lot of voluntary work with old people, and meals on wheels is often the only contact some of them have with others.
But I don't think it would have any affect, since when have politicians cared about what people think?
I say, Cromwell got it right when it came to lobbying politicians.

TransArmor Tokenization and Encryption Solution
TransArmor is a powerful security solution that protects payment card data throughout the entire transaction process. The data is protected by two layers of security, known as encryption and tokenization.
Encryption is the first layer of security as it protects the data moving through your systems prior to authorization. Tokenization is the second layer and it removes the card data from your environment by replacing the primary account number with a randomly generated data substitute, known as a token.
Key Benefits
- Reduce card data vulnerability and merchant liability
- Minimize PCI DSS compliance costs
- Increase IT resource efficiency
How it Works
- Consumer presents card at point of sale.
- Prior to transmission, card data is encrypted.
- Third party data center decrypts the data.
- During the authorization process, the Primary Account Number is assigned random tokens.
- TransArmor solution pairs the authorization response with the same token number.
- Merchant stores the random-number token on its system and uses it for future processes.
View the Commerce Bank TransArmor PDF for additional information.

Aiden Quinn used to be a woman. Now he's a man. It's a titillating detail — but is it news?
Quinn, you'll likely recall, is the 24-year-old subway driver from Attleboro who — moments after text-messaging his girlfriend on the evening of May 8 — crashed a Green Line train into another near the MBTA's Government Center stop, injuring roughly 50 passengers and causing an estimated $9.6 million in damages. The accident dominated the Boston news for days and prompted the announcement, on May 13, of a no-cell-phones policy for the T's drivers; it also led to Quinn's firing.
Given Quinn's admission that he was, in fact, texting prior to the accident, there's a general consensus that he's a dumbass. But there's no such agreement among the Boston media as to whether his switch from identifying as a woman to a man was germane to the larger story.
Some outlets seemed certain that it was. On May 11, for example, WFXT-TV (Fox 25) made Quinn's gender switch the lead fact of a Web story about his background (ahead of his driving record, which includes at least three speeding tickets — apparently he's a bad car driver, too) and played it up on Twitter. The Boston Herald took a similarly sensationalistic approach. On May 12, the tabloid highlighted Quinn's identity switch, calling him "stocky" for good measure — and the next day's paper boasted three more references, including a sniggering Howie Carr column and a news-you-just-might-use piece on transgender protocol ("Sex Change a Simple Switch at RMV") by reporter Dave Wedge.
Others were far more restrained. Following internal discussions, New England Cable News (NECN) sought to downplay that aspect of Quinn's history; as news director Tom Melville puts it, "It's part of who [Quinn] is, but it's not the main story." The Globe, too, de-emphasized Quinn's sex change. A May 12 piece by Noah Bierman on hiring standards at the T cited it, but the detail came late in the piece, and was delivered in a detached, matter-of-fact tone. Meanwhile, other Globe stories omitted reference to Quinn's past existence as a woman altogether.
"We knew very early of his transgender status, and we thought very hard about including it," explains Globe metro editor Brian McGrory. "It's certainly a provocative part of his personal history, but the question we asked was, 'Was it relevant to the crash itself?' And we couldn't determine that it was.
"Then we asked, 'Was it worth using at all?' " adds McGrory. "We determined that — because he's a person in the news, and because many of the facts that we were getting about him involved his driving record, and it was right there on his driving record that he was transgender — the proper thing to do was point it out, but not play it up particularly high in the story."
According to some advocates for the transgendered, though, even the lower-key approaches of the Globe and NECN went too far. A statement from the Massachusetts Transgender Political Caucus, for example, argued that a single mention of Quinn's gender switch was tantamount to yellow journalism: "Anything related to his gender identity would be irrelevant and further perpetuate unnecessary sensationalism. . . . Media outlets should be reporting on the facts of the case and not using sensationalistic coverage of a person's identity or former name when neither has a bearing on the case."

text: Hello all. I'm new to this site as I just registered but from what I've read so far, it seems like a great place to talk trucks. I've had several Chevy and GMC trucks over the years and currently have two. I have a '72 C10 that's a nice but not mint toy, and my daily driver/part time work truck is a '94 C1500 extended cab. The '94 has been with me for 4 years now and has racked up just a bit over 237,000 miles so far, 45,000 of which was with me. It's easily been the best vehicle of any I've ever owned and I intend on never parting with it. I'm currently looking to add another Chevy to the stable to use as a full time work truck (I'm self employed as an auto glass technician in Houston, Tx) if I can find a decent V6/automatic powered 2000 or newer half ton. I love my '94, but the 350 in it is pretty thirsty and the 5 speed isn't practical for answering phone calls in traffic. Anyways, I look forward to meeting more Chevy truck enthusiasts and discussing our trucks. I'm sure there are lots of people here far more capable than me at solving technical issues, but hopefully I can offer some help should anyone have glass related issues in the future.

The property is surely not few steps away from San Marco as stated. The facilities are very minimal . There is no one to ask for advice or help if needed urgently, we were met by a guy called Marco who took us to the flat, of course we were charged for all the services.
This flat is a bit over stated.
Our stay was perfect, everything were working well, the place was clean, safe and full of equipaments.
The reception person was very educated and helpful.
We recomend to stay in Valentina's apartament en Venice.
A very nice appartment in a cosy and very calm area. Good view at the canal. And quite central in Venice. We enjoyed the stay in a "real Venetian appartment". Good info from Marco, who met us at the boat.
Good location and spacious but maintenance issues.
Very good. Beautiful apartment in the centre! We enjoyed a lot!
The apartment was great - terrific location and well equipped. We found it easy to enjoy the best of Venice in our own time though the casino was not on our itinerary. A quiet spot that delighted the whole family. Thanks.
If you want to stay in the heart of Venice I recommend you contact Valentina.
We were originally booked to stay in this property but due to some building works we were relocated to another fantatastic apartment in the heart of Venice just near Piaza San Marco.
Valentina and her assistant were only too helpful.
The apartment was spacious and comfortable with all that a couple or a couple plus child will need and of course all in fabulous Venice is walking distance.
Mark and Family
Excellent location. Stick your head out of the window and you can see into St. Mark's Square. Amply equipped with dishes and linens. Only problem is that the sofa bed in the living room is heavily infested with either fleas or bedbugs. The two regular beds had no such problem.
Bellissimo e caratteristico appartamento proprio a 10mt da piazza S. Marco.
Il ragazzo che ci ha consegnato le chiavi è stato molto disponibile e gentile oltre ad averci dato qualche dritta sui ristoranti.
Unico neo sono i 20€ da dare se si arriva dopo le ore 20.
Noi lavoriamo e il tempo x arrivare non basta x non pagare la quota. Alcuni così si sentono obbligati a cambiare alloggio o arrivano la mattina del giorno seguente ma nel mio caso preferivo pagarli ma essere già sul posto per non perdermi la festa in piazza nel periodo di Carnevale. E il prezzo della camera è stato molto onesto e la camera caratteristica moltissimo apprezzata dal mio ragazzo.
Descriptif et photos conformes. Appartement spacieux, 2 chambres dont 1 très grande, 2 salles de bain dont 1 avec baignoire, MAL, MAV, TV situé dans une impasse calme à proximité de la Place Saint Marc (- de 5 minutes) et d'un départ de gondoles. De la cuisine, on aperçoit au loin les bateaux passant sur le grand canal. Lits faits à l'arrivée, serviettes de toilette en quantité suffisante. Seul bémol, l'odeur de cigarette surtout dans la salle à manger.

Strep test, throat culture
This test looks for the bacteria that cause strep throat. This condition causes a severe sore throat and makes it painful to swallow. It's important to detect and treat strep throat as soon as possible because it can progress to more serious illnesses, such as rheumatic fever.
The bacteria most likely to cause strep throat and bacterial sore throats in general are called Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus pyogenes (GABHS).
This test is a highly reliable way to diagnose strep throat because it has a sensitivity of 90 to 95 percent. But it's not used as commonly as the rapid antigen test because results for the throat culture are usually not available until 24 to 48 hours later.
You may need this test if you have symptoms of strep throat, including:
Sore throat
Mild neck stiffness
Appetite loss
Swollen or enlarged lymph nodes
You may also have this test if your tonsils are painfully enlarged and your breath smells very bad.
Strep throat is treated with antibiotics. Starting antibiotics immediately eases symptoms and can reduce the time you are contagious from one week to one day. Treatment also prevents rheumatic fever if taken within 10 days after symptoms begin.
Your doctor may also order these tests:
Rapid antigen test
Clinical prognostic score for GABHS, a score that helps prevent overuse of antibiotics for sore throats
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Normal results are negative, meaning you don't have strep throat. If your test result is positive, you almost certainly have strep throat caused by GABHS. If your sore throat lasts longer than a week, you probably have a different illness.
The test requires a sample from your throat. Your doctor will take the sample by swabbing both of your tonsils.
The swabbing may cause a slight discomfort.
Taking antibiotics can affect your results.
You don't need to prepare for this test. But be sure your doctor knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

In the playoffs or you don't want to see win the super bowl. What teams left do you hate?
In the playoffs or you don't want to see win the super bowl. What teams left do you hate?
Ravens, Ravens, Ravens, Ravens. Oh and pats.
Honestly, I kind of want either the pack or Denver to win.
Rooting against the Pats (Brady, nuff' said), Broncos (I like that Eli has more rings than Peyton, and don't want that fact to change, ever), Cowboys, and Skins (because duh on both counts). Also slightly against the colts (I am tired of hearing about both Luck and RG3. Both of these "legends in the making" need a reality check)...
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
Denver and Seattle...love Lynch, Wilson and the Seattle D.
For all the turnover gifts that Romo gave us in playoff past, he deserves 1 or 2 playoff wins. I love to see Jerry's face when they get so close and then fail at the end!
"There is winning and there is Misery"
Vikings, Boys, Bears & Eagles of course this weekend.
(No beef with the AFC, kind of hope Peyton goes all the way to stick it to Irsay and Indy...)
NFL Championships : 1927 1934 1938 1956 Super Bowl Champions: XXI XXV XLII XLVI
teams that i'll always root against are redskins, cowboys, eagles, and patriots.
All of them except Packers and Broncos!

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Great host, nice location, very recommended!
When I arrived in the apartment, the manager said the pipe of the apartment is out of order. So, he proposed to stay the temporary apartment for two days.
The temporary apart was very dirty, very small, a lot of roachs and bad bed.
I could not sleep the temporary area. My family was very unhappy yo the situation.
I complained to the manager the next day and then he move us better apartment. After two days from our arrived, we could go to our apartment,
Finally, the apartment that I reserved was good location and nice. The manager was very kind and supported all.
But we have to move three times and had bad image for London travel and wasted times during my vacation for the period.
We enjoyed our stay in this appartement. It was clean and cosy. Joe is verry friendly and helpful. The neighboorhood was quit. The tube station (central line) is 15 minutes (walking) away.
Host to 1 day before the stay tried to change the terms of the agreement. During booking we informed that we will come around 22.00. The host wanted to tell us the keys until about 7 in the morning saying that we will be aloud to check in and it bothers the neighbors. Later, another attempt to necessarily send a taxi for us despite the fact that I had purchased tickets for the subway. After rejecting taxi poor contact, barges answer questions. Apartment little dirty. Overall quality of the average.
Joe is nice and pleasant, despite a last minute changement of apartment we spent good vacation in London.
The apartment was clean ans spacious for 4 persons.
A bit far away from the underground (need to take the car) but calm and well furnished.
Joe is a very friendly and cordial. Gave us a lot of information to get around London. The neighborhood is quiet, the transportation is very good, has good access to the center. It only takes 30 minutes to get to London eye.
The apartment is very cozy, heated, large comfortable beds. All new and clean. We spent five great days in London. Clearly Lumphini.
Very nice to stay there in London,
the host was very kind and offered us his help for every second :)
so we were well received and
always again to Joe Rhys
The apartment is convenient for the Olympic facilities and the underground. The neighborhood is not that great but above all there are decent places to eat.
The apartment is clean, we say to improve the service sheets, towels.
logement sale dès la porte d'entrée (megots, fientes de tourterelles et débris de nid des tourterelles) halle avec 2 douilles d'éclairage sans ampoules, le wc sale et sans ampoule, la chambre : sous le lit et le long des plinthes une grosse épaisseur de poussière, le lustre a 3 ampoules avec une seule qui fonctionne. La salle de bain avec le vasistas très sale et un tapis de bain où l'on ose même pas y poser les semelles de ses pantoufles. La cuisine est une cuisine collective pour 3 où 4 chambres donc pas très propre avec une épaisseur de poussière au dessus des meubles qui fait peur. En conclusion comme dans les films humoristique seul le milieu des pièces voient le balai à fortement déconseiller à ceux qui craignent le manque d'hygiène
PS : j'ai des photos pour prouver tous ce qui est décrit ici.

text: Granted I live near Memphis and NY teams are clearly out of market here. But since Eli went to ole miss, and the Giants have been mostly competitive, I think ive missed maybe 4-5 games a year on average without the Sunday ticket package. Even given the fact that their division opponent games are always televised thats a minimum of 8 games guaranteed. This year man I cant see many at all. I can get internet streams and watch some but thats always dicey. Anyway, thought I might rant a bit and see if anyone else lives too far out and has the same problems

Alma is simply delicious
Bistro Alma sparkles. You'll know it when you see a glass bar that glows, a silver screen that shimmers, and furnishings like iconic Phillipe Starck Hudson barstools, black crystal chandeliers, and hot tangerine Verner Panton chairs.
You'll experience that same sparkle when you sample the food. Dishes are simple, fresh, and light, featuring local, seasonal favourites with a global flair – perfect for tasting and sharing. Bistro Alma seats 40 and offers a lively setting for a quick bite or a leisurely meeting. In true bistro style, you're welcome to order selections, "to go." And for after hours you can get a variety of snacks, and alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages from the front desk minibar.

Hello! We are new to beekeeping and have decided to start with two hives. We installed a 3# package of Italians in one hive and a package of Carnolians in the other on April 5. They have been building comb on plastic frames. Both queens are laying eggs and the girls are working dandelions like crazy. We are still feeding sugar water and 7 deep frames are now being worked, so we added the second deep last week. We now are seeing drone cells, so apparently they are happy!
We have a family member who has had bees for a long time, so he is an in-family resource. The hives are on a family-owned farm about 25 minutes from home. There's about 35 acres of pasture and about 80 that is either woods or CRP floodplain. No one lives there, but we camp there all summer and visit weekly. We hope to start an orchard there soon, but the bees came first!
We're trying to learn as quickly as possible, so we've joined a local club and have met several others from our county. We hope we don't make mistakes, and just keep the girls happy! "Hi!" to anyone else in our area.

The earth's best-known encyclopedia announced today that it would no longer publish print editions. Like so many newspapers and publishing houses, Encyclopedia Britannica is going completely digital—after 244 years of providing some of the finest page-flipping man has ever seen.
Jorge Cauz is the President of Encyclopedia Britannica. He says the company is now focused on digital learning. "We're digital, we're mobile, and we're social," said Cauz in a press release. "We're a very different company from 20 or 30 years ago."
Britannica's History
Britannica encyclopedias were first published in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1768. Americans started buying them at the turn of the 20th century. In the mid-1900s, salesmen would go door-to-door to sell the books. The company's first digital reference was created in 1981. CD-ROMs came out in 1989 and Britannica went to the Web in 1994. The final hardcover encyclopedia set is for sale on Britannica's website for $1,395.
But Britannica didn't take the electronic world very seriously during the last 20 years. Because people turned to the Internet with questions, the company's sales went down. Britannica's decision to stop the presses will save the company money in the long run.
Trustworthy Source
What hasn't changed is the way Britannica creates its material. The company has thousands of expert writers and more than 100 editors. They fact-check the information to make sure it is accurate, reliable and up-to-date. Contributors include many scholars, Nobel laureates and world leaders, such as Bill Clinton and Desmond Tutu.
Britannica's website also provides educational tools. At Britannica Online School Edition PreK-12, teachers share lesson plans. Britannica Online allows readers to make revisions directly to the encyclopedia. Experts review the changes before they are posted to make sure they are accurate.
Online versions of the encyclopedia serve more than 100 million people around the world. A new app delivers the whole encyclopedia to mobile devices, such as the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.
The company plans to mark the end of the print version by making the contents of its website available free for one week starting today, March 14.

PRB grads return to school, share professional experiences
Pine River-Backus students were given the chance to hear from successful professionals Friday, March 22, 15 of whom were PR-B grads.
Among the professionals to visit PR-B were actor Doug Taylor, Dr. Nathan Laposky, graphic designer Grace Bettino, and excavator/heavy equipment operator Ray Schrupp, among many more. There were 43 professionals scheduled to attend and speak at three 40-minute group sessions to groups of about 20 students each.
This opportunity is one that hasn't happened at PR-B for years. Career exploration days were once an annual event for PR-B, but they eventually became semi-annual, and then they stopped altogether.
"Very few schools do their own anymore," said guidance counselor Mary Sigan.
This year administrators decided to bring back career exploration day.
"I always felt if you are in your own environment, because you can kind of cater to your own kids, that is probably a lot more beneficial," Sigan said.
To make the event more relevant for students, they were not only able to submit suggestions, via survey, of careers they would like to learn about, but were also given the chance to learn from locals and former PR-B students.
"There was a definite effort to reach out to former grads," high school Principal Trent Langemo said. "I've heard a lot of feedback. Positive, really. I'm kind of excited about it, actually."
"They know the kids, they know the population, and they know the jobs out there, and the kids already kind of put them on a pedestal so they are definitely going to listen, so I think that's a real advantage," Sigan added.
Speakers also enjoyed their time back at the school.
"I was nervous at first, but once you get started it is easy to talk about things that you love. I thought it was really fun. It was fun to speak to the kids and show them all about my business and what I love about it," said Alicia Borman, professional photographer and PR-B graduate. "It feels good to be back here just to see the students and see what they are interested in."
Jolene Bengtson, PR-B School District business manager, also spoke to students during the event.
"I thought it was really fun. I was a little nervous in the beginning, not knowing how they were going to take questions and my story, but it turned out very well," she said. "There were a number of Pine River-Backus graduates that I haven't seen in a long time, but it was fun to see them come back as professionals and share their experiences."
PR-B students in the sophomore and junior classes were also given the chance to attend Central Lakes College career fairs in the fall and early spring of this school year. When considering their own fair, Langemo decided to extend the opportunity to freshmen and seniors as well. Sigan and Langemo said career exploration opportunities such as this are valuable to these students.
"One of the pushes to do that was thinking about ninth-graders. What can you do to link them early in their career so that when they are in school as a 10th-grader, maybe they have that goal out there because of a day like today," Langemo said. "And the seniors, it's interesting because the real world is right outside their doorstep. They're almost there, it's the spring of their senior year, and I can tell you most seniors are not going to end up doing in their life what they think they are right now. So exposing them to various things is as effective as it is for ninth-graders."
Some career sessions filled up quickly, including a session of presentations by Bryan Drown, Ray Schrupp and Roger Roy, who spoke on careers in engineering, excavation and heavy equipment operations and manufacturing; a session by Jason Roepke and Jen Anderson on teaching, coaching and child care; and a session by Darren Bundy, Pat Bundy, Paul Lundgren, Nikki Shoutz and Miles and Sara Kuschel for careers in forestry, fish and game law enforcement, and farming.
Sigan described her observations when sitting in on the presentation by Schrupp, a well-known local business owner.
"You could hear a pin drop, so I think they already know he's done well," she said.
Though sophomore Austin Smith hopes to someday become an electrician, he attended Schrupp's presentation to get an understanding of his alternatives and further understanding of his second career choice. Thanks to the event, he learned some of the less known, important details that could increase or decrease his chances of finding such a career.
"You need to have clean driving records and a good work ethic," Smith said.
Overall, the purpose of career fairs and other exploration events is to inform students of ways to make themselves more employable and how to develop, or avoid, things that could make or break their chances of getting the job they want. The day opened with a speech by Jeff Wig of the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport and closed with a speech by Jill Carlson-Ferrie of the Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union.
Wig and Carlson-Ferrie explained to students that communication and business skills are vital in all careers. They also explained why it is important for students to avoid developing habits of cursing, think carefully before getting tattoos and piercings, and communicate discreetly and respectfully over social media.
Wig and Carlson-Ferrie stressed the importance of gaining experience, not selling oneself short, and planning early for future careers.
"I think it's validating to teachers. It's a hard job, and there's hard days and long hours and you don't always see the rewards and the benefits," Langemo said. "Days like today, when people come back and you see the work you did pays off and you connected with a kid and you helped inspire them, that's the good stuff."

Since the mid-1900s, plasma cutting has become a very popular and effective style cutting. Plasma cutting is effective because it results in a cleaner and faster cutting process. The Plasma system's power supply comes from converting AC voltage into a more constant DC voltage. The DC voltage keeps the plasma arc throughout the cutting process. The spark produced inside the plasma torch that makes the plasma arc comes from the "Arc Starting Console." This Arc Starting Console creates the AC voltage to produce the spark. The cooling of the consumables and proper alignment comes from the plasma torch. The plasma torch gives you the precise cut needed for the job.
Plasma Cutting can be performed on stainless steel, mild steel or aluminum. Plasma cutting skips the oxidation process, thus allowing an easy cut through conductive materials. Plasma cutting is convenient because it does not require compressed oxygen and fuel gas. Plasma cutting is great for the weekend warriors as it is a faster and efficient cutting process.
Plasma Cutting can be used to cut steel, preferably thin material. It can be used with heavy or regular industrial applications. Many plasma cutters are used on construction sites and with small parts fabrication.
Welding Supplies from IOC carries wide variety of brand-name plasma cutters. Choose from Miller, Lincoln and Thermal Dynamics to find a plasma cutter to fit your cutting job. With Welding Supplies from IOC's wide selection of plasma cutters, you will find only the very best, highest-quality plasma cutter to give you the most precise cut every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Women's Studies?
Women's Studies focuses on the experiences of diverse groups of women and the changing cultural, economic, political, and psychological relations between women and men. Because we ask questions about women and about gender that no single academic department is able to answer, we encourage an interdisciplinary approach to research and learning. Our program includes over eighty faculty from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. The faculty are appointed in the College of Arts and Sciences, the Eastman School of Music, the Margaret Warner Graduate School of Education and Human Development, the Simon School of Business, the School of Nursing, and the School of Medicine and Dentistry.
Who enrolls in Women's Studies courses?
Every semester over 100 undergraduate students—both women and men—from the College of Arts and Sciences and the Eastman School of Music enroll in Women's Studies courses. They bring to our courses their primary expertise in music, in engineering, and in a range of disciplines across the humanities, sciences, and social sciences.
Students who enroll in Women's Studies courses select from among a variety of topics in nursing and in a range of disciplines across the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. Each semester, our courses range from "Race and Gender in Popular Film" to "Implications in Women's Health Care," from "Women and Gender in the History of Science" to "Women's Movements in an International Perspective," and from "Toni Morrison" and "Jane Austen" to "Black Males and Culture."
The women and men in our courses benefit from a number of regular Women's Studies events. When we invite visiting scholars to campus, we ask that they discuss their research both formally, in large public lectures, and informally, with students in our classrooms. Undergraduates in our courses are invited to join those majoring or minoring in Women's Studies at discussion groups with faculty and graduate students, and in an annual symposium at which undergraduates have an opportunity to discuss their Women's Studies internships and independent research projects.
Why should I major or minor in Women's Studies?
We asked our students that very question. "If you had asked me five years ago if I intended to be a Women's Studies major, I probably would not have even known that Women's Studies existed, much less seriously considered declaring it as my field of study," Sonia Robertson, '95, told us. "Now however, I am so glad that I chose it. Women's Studies is so different from the stereotypical image it receives." A number of students pointed out the advantages of interdisciplinary work: the opportunity to "take courses from a wide range of departments and professors" (Melissa L. Sands, '95); the ability to "view the challenges facing women from a multitude of diverse perspectives" (Melanie Hochberg, '96); and the necessity of becoming an "independent thinker and one who can combine many disciplines" in order to analyze the historical and contemporary roles of men and women (Shannon Parker, '96).
Our major and minor requirements are extremely flexible. We ask that students select from among a series of courses that offer a foundation in different methods of approaching Women's Studies, including Women in History, Women and Psychology, Women in Politics, Women and Ethnicity, Feminism in Science and Technology, and Feminism in Literature, Art, and Media. We then ask that students supplement those foundation courses with courses cross-listed with the Nursing School and with departments across the College. Our major requires twelve courses (eight in Women's Studies); our minor requires five Women's Studies courses. Our faculty work closely with students to ensure that their Women's Studies program of study is in keeping with their larger intellectual interests and career goals. Our advanced students are encouraged to participate in our internship program or conduct a research project, and to apply to us for funds to support the presentation of papers at conferences, visiting archives, or arranging for the library to purchase needed print, microfilm or video material.
The flexibility of our major and minor has also been ideal for those students who have combined their interest in Women's Studies with additional majors and minors in Biology, Chemistry, English, Health and Society, History, Political Science, Psychology, Religion and Classics, and Spanish. Sonia Robertson (Women's Studies and Psychology, '95) found Women's Studies a "wonderful complement to my psychology major, allowing me to pursue women's issues in more depth within a single discipline." Melissa L. Sands (Women's Studies and Political Science, '95) "chose to major in Women's Studies in order to acquaint myself with women's issues as they relate to history, politics, and social change." Genine Barnett (Women's Studies and English, '95) explains that "exploring the field of Women's Studies as a separate discipline has enhanced my interpretation of both historical and contemporary women writers. My double-major has also caused me to question what makes a literary interpretation 'feminist.'"
You can view our major and minor requirements here.
How does a background in Women's Studies prepare me for a career?
Our interdisciplinary program trains students to think critically by demanding that they bring together the insights of a number of academic departments. Our internships offer students an opportunity to supplement their classroom training with practical work experience in the arts, education, health, law, media, politics, and social services. And the flexibility of our major and minor has been ideal for those students whose intellectual interests and career goals are best served by combining a focus in Women's Studies with a focus in another program or department.
This program of study has proven quite successful. Students who have graduated with a Women's Studies major or minor are now working in a number of careers, including law, legal advocacy, therapy, and university administration. Elizabeth Prince, '82, was awarded the first degree in Women's Studies at the University of Rochester. She later obtained a master's degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling from the JFK University family counseling program and is now licensed to practice therapy. Her work has focused on half-way houses and community mental health programs. Nancy Mertzel, '85, obtained a law degree from Washington College of Law at American University in 1988, and is practicing intellectual property law with Brown, Raysman, Millstein, Felder, and Steiner in New York. Kathleen Simpson, '93, is director of admissions at the State University College at Brockport. Beth Olearczyk, '94, worked as a public policy advocate for child welfare and is now a medical student at Columbia. Beth was honored at the University of Rochester Sesquicentennial Convocation on October 14, 2000 as a distinguished alumna from the 1990's.
Why should I participate in a Women's Studies internship?
Our Internship Program prepares students for careers in the arts, education, health, law, media, politics, and social services. Students who participate in our Internship Program receive valuable experience, and course credit, by working with local organizations that focus on the arts, education, health, law, media, politics, and social services, including Afterimage, the City Council of Rochester, Division of Human Rights, New York State, Monroe County District Attorney's Office, Planned Parenthood of Rochester and Genesee Valley, the Susan B. Anthony House, the Urban League of Rochester, TV Dinner/Metro Justice, the YWCA Rochester Area Children's Collaborative, and the Visual Studies Workshop.

PITNB's NEW popCULTURE CLUB: theoretically putting the "culture" back in "pop culture," one post at a time… This week Trent and Shannon talk about the art of coming out in pop culture. Is there a way it should– or should not– be done, and what do misunderstand most about this important moment?
One of my favorite things about the movie Amélie is the way the narrator of the film carefully lists off all of the things that are specific to each character in the movie.
The point is that, once you have the small details, you know a lot (maybe everything) about the individual. Because everything that we do—the food we like, the noises we like, the love we make—everything matters.
When I first heard the rumor that Frank Ocean might have made reference to a homosexual relationship on his album I rolled my eyes because I knew something like that would never happen. Ever. Why? Because, while he may sing, Frank Ocean is very much a part of the hip-hop community and in this community you're not allowed to be gay. Period. If you're a woman, you're allowed to be bisexual (in fact, it's preferable), but really, you better be a hetero girl who's also a freak. And down for whatever— mainly threesomes. Those are your options. Pick one.
A few days after I heard the rumor, Frank composed a letter on his tumblr that was so beautifully written, it sounded like a song. Precisely but poetically, he told a story that many of us can relate to; the first love/first heartbreak story heard 'round many worlds. And that was when I fell in love with Frank Ocean. Well that, and when I heard Pyramids.
I read the letter quickly; just like everyone else I wanted to get to the juice of it. I wanted to read the part where he officially came out and said that he had been with a man! But now, after reading many of the articles and many of the comments, there's something else about the letter that interests me. And I wonder if we could ever look at it as "more than" just a coming out, or if it could be understood as a coming out letter, among many other things.
What I love most about Frank's letter is the part where he talks about writing albums in between all of the heartbreak and confusion he was suffering:
In a way, he does not separate his personal experiences from his career or his art. He does not claim that one has nothing to do with the other and he does not make the argument that what he does in his personal life is not reflected in his public life as an artist. Instead, he embraces it all wholeheartedly and weaves the two narratives together. The relationship, the lack of reciprocity, the inability to change how he felt, the love and the pain all worked its way into his work, the work that many of us call genius.
I want to say something that may be problematic for some of you. In my opinion, Frank Ocean is not a musician who happens to be gay or bisexual (as I understood the letter, he is a gay man who used to have girlfriends). I would say the same about Anderson Cooper, who is not (in my opinion!) a journalist who just happens to be gay. I find it problematic to completely separate the two (the individual from his/her sexual orientation) and I went on a bit of a Facebook rant about it earlier this week in reaction to comments I came across. People who said things like, "Oh Frank Ocean's gay, I'll never listen to him again"— those people didn't bother me. The comments that were most troubling to me were the ones that were like, "He's gay, that's cool. I'll still listen to his music." It was as if they were saying, "His music is sooooo good it makes you forget that he's even gay!" That mentality is, to me, more dangerous than anything else. It's akin to the mentality that encouraged people to call really famous blacks "a credit to their race." It implies that a certain amount of talent (or money) is required for an otherwise unacceptable person to be deemed acceptable. And that mentality is, for me, unacceptable.
But I still haven't said the thing I'm scared to say, lol! I want to say that, while I understand that it's important for everyone— gay, straight, trans, bi, undefined, or unsure— to say that they are not who they sleep with… I have to respectfully and wholeheartedly disagree with that idea. We are who we sleep with (I know a lot of you are cringing right now, lol); we just aren't only that! We are our sexuality, just like we are where we went to school, and we are where we grew up, and we are our hair, and we are our body shapes, we are our chosen professions, we are the music we write, and the music we listen to, and the authors we love; and we are our parents and our children— we are those things. We just aren't those things individually and exclusively; we are those things (or reflections of those things) collectively.
I am a heterosexual woman (ish) but I'm not merely a heterosexual (ish) woman. However, my being that defines MANY of my views on things, especially the coming out process. Until I worked with Trent I was one of those [heterosexual-ish] people who couldn't stand closeted gay celebs (or at least those I thought were closeted), because I felt like they were lying or doing a disservice to… to who? I suppose I expected them to do one of the very things I claim not to believe in; I wanted a single individual to carry an entire group of people on his/her back. Without even really knowing what 'coming out' meant I wanted that!
And when I asked Trent recently to tell me what he thought was the biggest misconception about the coming out process from heterosexuals he described me, dead-on:
I think the biggest misconception is that it's easy to come out. Even those who consider coming out to be difficult still do not understand the impact that it could have on a person's life. The hardest part is admitting the truth to one's self … but even after a person comes out, it doesn't necessarily get easier. I know there is a lot of hope in the "It Gets Better" campaign and, by and large, it's a campaign of support. But in all honestly, it doesn't always get better. Families, friends, co-workers, strangers … so many people have huge impacts on people's lives. A hateful homophobe among any of those people could be devastating to a person who just came out. A young person may experience an outpouring of support from friends, classmates, teachers, the community after they come out … and their very own parents or even one parent could turn on and abandon them. It's one thing to merely come out. It's another thing altogether to deal with the ramifications from others for doing so.
After reading this from Trent I had even more appreciation for Frank Ocean's mother who tweeted this message in support of her son.
Thank you to all who have shown love and support. My son is the most incredible human I know. Honest, true and loving.We appreciate you!
— katonya breaux riley (@katonya) July 4, 2012
And the fact that she is the final person Frank thanks in his letter tells me that she has probably been a huge support to him all along.
I also asked Trent about misconceptions from the gay community:
I think the biggest misconception from SOME (not all) in the gay community is that there is a duty to others to come out. Staying silent about one's sexuality hurts other gays who might gain strength from another's coming out story. That is true, yes, other gays gain strength and support from coming out stories but no one should ever be pressured or, even more horribly, outed just because someone else things they should come out. Not everyone in the gay community thinks this way, I surely do not. But I have friends who are militant in their belief that gay celebrities who remain in the closet are despicable for keeping their private lives private. I cannot stress enough how opposed to this belief I am.
But I was especially interested in hearing Trent's thoughts on the many ways people come out, and the reactions they get (as a result of their choice in how to deliver the news) from fans and the media:
Invariably, yes, reactions will differ from instance to instance. Overall, the people who are going to support anyone coming out (ie. a gay friendly person) will be happy no matter how the individual chooses to come out. Conversely and sadly, a homophobic person will still be unhappy no matter how a person comes out. But, I think the coming out stories that are heartfelt and personal are the ones that get the most support. I'm sure magazine cover stories do very well but I, personally, respond better when someone just comes out and says, I'm gay, without having to be prompted.
We as bloggers, as readers, and as consumers of all things celebrity and pop culture are looking for the juice. We want the facts. Is he gay or not?! Lol. We're not interested in the narrative, but I wanted to take a moment to express some interest in the coming out process as a narrative, as an abstract art of sorts, which is what I saw in Frank Ocean's letter.
On the Anderson Cooper coming out post PITNBr Kiki recommended an article that I devoured called The Art Of Coming Out (no, I didn't bite off their title– I had mine first, lol) and, in looking at the history of celebrity coming outs they mentioned Jodie Foster's thank you speech to her assumed (now ex) girlfriend, Cydney. Because she never said the words "lover" or "partner" or "girlfriend" or "I'm gay," people wondered if it "counted." And, in a way, I think it's sad and strange that Coming Out has to be defined under such strict terms. For all that, one could argue that Frank Ocean didn't exactly come out. He never said he was gay and he never said he engaged in intercourse with the man he loved. But we know what he means, even in his somewhat abstract language.
I say all of these things as a hetero girl who has never had to come out and who never will. The closest I've come was telling my aunt that I'd maybe been with a few girls and she told me that was fine because my Mom had 'experimented' in college too. That one got filed under 'things my Mom chose never to tell me while she was here,' lol. But hetero girl that I am, I suggest we consider and accept the art of coming out as the abstract declaration that it really might be. And I call it abstract not to sensationalize it (and not to imply that we stare at it like a painting in a museum) but to suggest that the process is specific to the individual; it is their work of art (in a manner of speaking) and the fact that there are a million ways to come out proves that it is not a simple process or single fact to be waived away once we get the bottom line.
People are beginning to say that coming out is not a big deal, and Trent has said that this means progress in a lot of ways. But to me it also implies a sort of nonchalance about something important. I can't say that I know exactly what that important thing is. I don't think I have it. But I do think that the fact that Frank Ocean is gay matters; I don't think it's a non-issue that shouldn't affect how I feel about him. Everything about him affects how I feel about him! Every lyric, every picture, his jawline, his race, his art of coming out— all that he chooses to do and all that he has no control over is important in my— in our—understanding of him. It matters that he's gay and it matters in a good way and in abstract ways I will never understand. I know that we need understanding on this issue but we also need misunderstanding– or the willingness to admit to misunderstanding. I know, I'm getting abstract! But what I mean is, those things that are "different" between the genders, between people of certain sexual preferences, and between races cannot always be fully understood. I embrace the fact that when someone comes out, I have no context to understand that moment! I'm different, and I won't ever have that experience. So in this specific experience, I don't understand Frank Ocean or Anderson Cooper or Cynthia Nixon or Wanda Sykes or Will Smith (wait, what?!) or Jim Parsons or Jane Lynch or Trent Vanegas… and I embrace that mis-understanding because somehow, in some abstract way, it's what further connects me to them all.
And for that, I thank them.

President Obama Places Wreath At World Trade Center After Osama Bin Laden's Death.
HollywoodLife.com has exclusive photos of the touching ceremony — such a bittersweet moment.
President Obama commemorated the victims of the 9/11 terrorism attacks by heading to the site of the World Trade Center on May 5 and laying a wreath down in memory of those who perished and the families they left behind.
Earlier in the day, Barack met with family members of the fallen, as well as firefighters and police officers, to mark the death of Osama bin Laden.
Even though the capture and killing bumped his approval ratings, Barack wanted to make it clear September 11, 2001 was a day that would always be remembered, the Los Angeles Times reports.
"What happened on Sunday, because of the courage of our military and the outstanding work of our intelligence, sent a message around the world, but also sent a message here back home that when we say we will never forget, we mean what we say," Barack said.
We're so glad the victims of that day were not forgotten in all of the hoopla surrounding Osama's death.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I've been remiss and not keeping this log updated, so remiss in fact that this tank has been shut down for a couple months.
It was fun but my fish never really thrived in here, the plants did ok but my fish kept fading away one by one, I think because there was just too much flow and no where to hide but who knows.
The cube has been replaced by a Fluval Studio 600 which I suppose I should make a thread for but I've been lazy as hell.
Thanks for looking.
Updating again, you'd think I'm trying to be consistent.
CO2 has been running 24/7 at about 1 bubble per second and just showing green on the drop checker and I am impressed.
My dwarf sagitteria has shown visible growth and my pogostemon helferi has taken off!! A couple of sprigs have literally tripled in size. The swords and vals all look healthier and the HM turned into a huge bush which I've now chopped back to about 3" tall.
My java fern is even growing happily and looks great.
I'm kicking myself for having taken so long to get the CO2 running but now, even with my comparatively low light I can tell I'm going to have to do a lot of trimming and gardening, hooray!
The fish all seem happier with the removal of the furcata rainbows but I found an oto which had jumped. There is a 1"x1/4" gap at the back of the tank where the lid isn't quite snug and he somehow made it out of there to become fish jerky.
The new shamu log is in and still trying to float but I've got it wedged under the pump outflow tubes so hopefully it finishes waterlogging and sinks. Fingers crossed, I really don't want to have to screw it to a tile and tear the entire tank up just to get it placed.
Another update, no one cares!
First, my sick fish seem to have recovered after a couple treatments of Seachem Metroplex, hooray. They're both eating like pigs and look to be gaining weight.
On the bad side my Furcatas were getting aggressive and have been taking runs at everyone so they've been rehomed, but unfortunately not before they killed one of my nicer CPDs... I'm about 95% sure it was the bigger furcata who wouldn't stop flaring up at all the other fish, there was a furcata sized bite taken out of his anal region and by the time I found him he was alternating between swimming funny and floating, his gills were all bloody and his butthole region was missing, pretty reminiscent of jaws. After a short rage session we gave him some clove oil and Everclear, a fish wake if ever I've heard of one.
Now for the good stuff, I've finally gotten off my duff and gathered up all my pressurized co2 bits and put it all together. No leaks first try, everything is working as it should and I've got fish flavored soda pop! The bubbles look kind of terrible but I will move the diffuser into the rear sump section once I know everything is stable and working as it should. I do want to get a solenoid, but that can wait since I've put myself on a bit of a budget and I wanted to get running NOW.
I removed the bigger chunks of driftwood on the right, in behind the HM and trimmed the hell out of the HM but now I'm getting some black bush algae on my dwarf sag so hopefully the gassy stuff will help fight it off because I'm getting really tired of dealing with this fuzzy black poop.
The swords are throwing runners like mad and even the spiral val seems to be making a comeback which is pretty gratifying... I'd almost pulled it out but at the last second I thought I'd let it keep trying a bit longer.
I haven't got any photos because there is a surprise coming as soon as it gets waterlogged enough to stop trying to imitate shamu.
Update time,
Things are growing slowly but steadily, the HM is enormous and will need trimming tomorrow.
Dwarf sag is good, I've added some downoi in the very front of it, it seems to be growing, at least it didn't melt yet. Swords are coming back but the spiral val just doesn't seem like it's going to come back, it's all yellow and sickly so I think tomorrow it'll get yanked out.
The fish are all good, except two, one of my CPDs and one of my gold ring danios are both getting skinny and fading away. They seem to eat, but just keep getting thinner which to me says internal parasites so off to the LFS for some meds tomorrow. Any suggestions for brand?
I promised some photos and now is the time!
Obligatory full tank shots
Point and shoot version
dslr version
Side, feel free to ignore the splashes and equipment, I forgot to remove them
Now for some detail shots
My Hemianthus micranthemoides or glomeratus if you'd prefer
It's not getting enough light but it's still growing well and I'm not ready for CO2 yet, so I've not cranked up the light
My dwarf sagittaria field of dreams... all of these plants melted badly and I feared I would lose most of them but with only a couple exceptions they all came back and several are desperately needing a trim which is gratifying
And now for some livestock
Here are my new rainbows, Melanotaenia maccullochi
They are still a little shy and not really displaying any color but I'm sure that will change as they get used to their new home
Here is the male by himself
And a terribly reflective pair shot
Here are my Blue eye forktails, Pseudomugil furcatus
And to close out this journal entry, a few cheesecake shots of the other inhabitants
Water tests out ok and the new fish are in and settling down nicely.
I tried to snap a couple photos but they were being a bit twitchy for point n shoot or cellphone photos so I guess I'll try the dslr tomorrow.
Fingers crossed that I'm over that particular water quality hump!
Dry fert regime starts tomorrow morning, just in time for a water change on Sunday night.
Time for another boring text update.
I lost a white cloud about 10 days ago but she had had a swollen/fat stomach for a while. She seemed healthy just huge so I don't know if that's an issue but (knock on wood) no fatalities since. Test readings seem stable since then although nitrates are still a bit high to my mind the local fish people I've asked think its fine so I'm not obsessing.
I picked up 4 juvenile CPD a couple days ago and they seem fine which is good because my rainbows are arriving tonight.
I've got a pair of McCulloch's dwarfs, Skull Creek locality (insert Latin here when i get home) from a semi local breeder so I guess I'll have to post up some photos.
Plant wise things are sort of going, my HM is growing and seems happy, the dwarf sagittaria has bounced back and I've noticed some new growth but my swords and spiral als aren't happy. Pretty sure its a nutrient deficiency but haven't nailed down what... its a good excuse to start using ny dry ferts I suppose.
Follow up to this, I found out that one of my LFS gives out poor advice, they told me that 250ml of Seachem Matrix would be "plenty of biomedia" for this tank. Seachem suggests more, I'll need another liter to meet their recommendations and of course everyone in town is sold out of Matrix so I've added some Fluval Biomax or whatever their white rings are called.
I'm going to steal some cycled media from a friend's tank too, hopefully I can head this disaster off at the pass before I lose any more fish.
Sorry about the lack of updates, I've just been busy as heck with work lately.
The tank is up and running but I'm getting nitrate/nitrite spikes and have lost a bunch of fish... fairly frustrated right now but just trying to contain the fallout.
I'm not entirely sure what happened as I used mulm and sponge filter squeezings from my old tank and the biomedia from my old filter and ran it for about a week. Things seemed ok and stable so I added my fish and for the first few days things were fine then I noticed I lost 3 endlers, 2 white clouds and 3-4 CPD overnight.
Tested the water and it was awful, high in nitrites and nitrates but zero ammonia. This happened in about 38 hours after my last test. I did a 50% water change that night and a succession of 25% water changes over the next couple days and it seemed like things were stable.
Then after a couple days I lost another fish per day for 3 days. Nitrates were high, nitrites and ammonia test ok. Been doing water changes every day or two.
It appears the tank decided to fool me and have a cycle after staying stable for as long as it did but I think part of my losses were due to stress because the flow was too high been though I'd already swapped to a lower flow pump, so I've swapped it out for a still lower flow pump.
I'm really annoyed with myself and I'm not sure how many more fish I'm going to lose before this settles out and stabilizes.
I'm also annoyed at one of the local LFS, they put their demo 40 gallon Osaka on clearance a couple days before I got this tank finished, if I'd known I'd have gotten it for sure, I'm still debating it lol... talk about a tank hoarder.
|That 2nd piece is so perfect for the dimensions of your tank. Simply trimming the excess on the extruding branches so that the whole piece fits nice and snug within the cube.
|How goes the nano build any updates?

On another note, Ecopoxy is essentially dry to the touch. Probably not cured yet, but should be done by tomorrow so the sides, top and interior will get finished then it's on to other things.
Was hoping to be up and running by Monday, but it's not an emergency so no point in rushing things. Haste = waste n all that.
Thanks for the kind words.
Green flash, you can Google "ecoxotic 25 gallon cube", should take you to their product page or solana 25 gallon should take you to marine depots page. Same tank as far as I can figure.
Hi, it is coming along nicely
I totally feel you with finding a nice stand for a good price. It is hard to even find an attractive stand let alone a quality one. and custom cabinet makers all want like $800+ for a good one off piece.
I am having trouble finding info on this 18 inch ecoxotic tank, all I see listed on their website is the pico?
|Awesome tank. Can't wait to see the finish product

Oregon History: Japanese-Americans and Other Newcomers
Jobs and land lured Japanese immigrants by the last decade of the 19th century. Overpopulation and limited opportunity at home, the favorable publicity of labor recruiters, and adventure drew Japanese to Oregon. They found places to work and live. Many men hired on as laborers to build railroads. Tadashichi Tanaka, Shinzaburo Ban, and Shintaro Takaki were all involved in 1891 in recruiting rail workers. The men helped build the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, feeder lines, and logging railroads.
Japanese immigrant families settled in the Treasure Valley near Ontario, Hood River Valley, and at Gresham. The prospect of gaining a few acres, planting a garden, setting out an orchard, and producing high-quality vegetables and fruits drew husbands, wives, and children to work together to establish a substantial hold in a new land. Others settled on Second, Third, and Fourth streets in Northwest Portland, where they became shopkeepers. Some men worked in sawmills, but at risk. In 1925, for example, a woman in Toledo on Yaquina Bay sparked a nasty attack on Japanese families. Threats of violence and bricks thrown through windows drove 25 Japanese men, women, and children from the town, and earned Rosemary Shenk a court appearance.
Oregon by the end of the 19th century, in spite of exclusionist attitudes and wars fought against Indians by the pioneer generation, had a changing complexion. Jewish merchants operated mercantile stores, enriched cultural life through their love of music and literature, and founded synagogues. Japanese and Chinese workers took some of the worst but necessary jobs. They helped build the state's vital transportation links. They canned fish, raised fruit, and ran small businesses. African-Americans dominated the Pullman services, mined coal, and grew steadily in numbers. Oregon was not a comfortable place for minorities, but negative treatment was also dished out to "dumb Swedes," beer-drinking Germans, Irish and Italian Catholics. Many Oregonians wore their fears of those who were different on their shirtsleeves.

Did I miss something? Not a single comment here on the Gold medalists' performance? Don't think I've ever seen that before.
Any links to Shibs or D/W?
I hope Tessa is OK. That was a wonderful program, just a joy to watch. They and the Shibs have that quality in common - both enchant the viewer! Meryl and Charlie seem intellectual and effortful by comparison.
Oh, and thanks to Icemusings for the most detailed pbp I've ever seen. How on earth can you write all that and watch at the same time? Are you using a dictaphone?
Let's hope it is a pulled muscle which requires a bit of rest and gradual exercises once the pain is gone. I've got to see that entire FD which shows proper skating to a carribbean rhythm.
Yes, I'd love to watch D/W & the Shibs' videos if someone could upload them?
I'd love to closely scrutiny the Shibs' performance again to see what it is that they did warranted approx. 2 points ahead of C/P.
Just catching up. Oh man, that was so sad. And I agree with everyone that the program was wonderful, different but so natural at the same time. Usually when ice dancers try percussion they go over the top but not V/M.
Looking forward to seeing D/W and the Shibs when I can.
Chances are good that both C/P & W/P would bring their A-games, knowing # of slots depend on their performances. Let's hope they step up.
I'm so sorry for V/M! I hope she's ok and they can go to worlds. I'm delighted for the Shibs! They do have something special and finally the judges see it too. Who would have guessed they will beat C/P here? Ice dance became such an unpredictable event! I can't wait for them to go head to head again with I/K at worlds!
1.5 points came from base value. C/P seem to stick with the Serpentine step sequence even though it's consistently the hardest to score high levels on
There were a couple bobbles throughout. Paul seemed rushed in both footwork sequences, and truthfully, I can't tell if that's meant to be part of the choreography (it wasn't there before, but it happened enough times that you wondered if it was deliberate - if so, bad idea). While I would've scored them closer on PCS (I think the linking stuff C/P do is much more interesting and I prefer their interpretation and choreography), I can't really object to it - the Shibs are so at ease on the ice, whereas C/P don't demonstrate that (which is partially deliberate, but I'm not convinced it's entirely so).
P/I need the exposure - they're falling behind (not as far as Alessandrini/Vaturi, but far enough) and I'd like to see them again, though. It's a difficult decision when all we have is speculation.
From what I've found out it seems as if Tessa's injury is unrelated to her surgery and they still plan to compete at Worlds.
