Historic Chief Theater sign will be restored
Relight the Night committee has plans for unveiling in November
POCATELLO, Idaho - It's been 20 years since the Chief Theater in Pocatello burned to the ground, but the sign was saved.
Since then there has been a debate about what to do with the sign, but we now have an answer: the sign will be restored.
But what's so important about this sign? What has been the process for getting it restored? What will happen once it's restored? I went looking for those answers.
March 20, 1993 brought the devastating fire that began on the roof and gutted the building. One member of the Relight the Night committee (just a resident at the time) received a phone call from a friend while she was on her way to Boise. She turned around to head back to Pocatello, but also gave immediate instructions to save the sign.
There's a parking lot where the chief theater once stood. The sign, a mosaic tile portion, a few seats, a door and part of the red velvet curtain are among the few precious relics of the theater.
In 1993, I was four years old. I didn't pay attention to this sort of thing, so I've been playing catch-up since I began covering the sign's story. Learning about this piece of Pocatello history has one of the most interesting things I've done so far, and it's allowed me to meet some wonderful people while learning more about it.
I started at the City of Pocatello, with Terri Neu in the Planning Services Division. I learned there that the Chief Theater sign is not the first Old Town Pocatello neon sign that will be restored, nor will it be the last.
While Neu did not speak on camera, she spoke candidly about the work that's been done on other signs in the area, like Molinelli Jewelers, Cafe Chopstick, the Greyhound Bus Depot and the Whitman.
She also showed me the large and heavy plaque that will be put on the base of the support for the sign. It reads:
"The Chief Theater opened on January 5, 1938. Admission to the first show, "Bad Man of Brimstone," was 49 cents. The downtown landmark provided entertainment until it was closed in 1982. The Chief Foundation began working on refurbishing the building in 1985. On March 20, 1993 a fire gutted the building. All that remains of the Chief Theater is the tile mosaic reassembled on this spot, and the neon sign."
Looking at old photographs, the Chief Theater sign is one of the largest of the signs. But that also means it's the most expensive.
The Relight the Night committee went before the Historic Preservation Commission after raising a little over $20,000 through fundraisers. However, this amount wouldn't nearly be enough to cover the project. That's where the Standrod Trust came into play. For the history behind this mansion in Pocatello, click here.
The Standrod Trust was specifically put into place when the City of Pocatello sold the Standrod mansion to private owners. They put the money into the trust, saving it for historic preservation.
This brought debate within the Historic Preservation Committee meeting, where some members of the board wanted other things for the money, like the restoration of another piece of Pocatello history: Brady Chapel. As it turns out, there was money enough for both.
The sign will be restored using the most monetarily efficient means possible. That means the bulbs that will be used may be LED lights that look like they are neon lights. The amount allotted is $110,000.
I then spoke with Randy Dixon, the Relight the Night committee chairman. We spoke at length about the history of the Chief Theater
"We think the restoration of that sign is extremely important to the history of this community," Dixon said. "We're going to move ahead with it."
I then asked him the tough question: What is so important about this sign that you would spend over $100,000 on resurrecting it, compared to what some would consider more practical?
Firstly, he explained the restrictions on the Standrod Trust, where the money could be used only for historic preservation.
Secondly, he explained the history, and how a city's past is an important part of its present and future. Additionally, he explained how lighting this sign is just the first step. There are other signs, like Harrison's Jewelers sign that they would love to see restored as well.
He said not only do the restored signs stick out while you're in Old Town, they stick out from Interstate 15.
"You could actually see the Chief Theater sign from parts of the interstate," Dixon said.
He said with the restoration of the sign, they could work toward restoring other signs and creating a downtown full of vibrant history and pride in where Pocatello has been, where it is and where it's going.
He added that Pocatello's downtown could even trump Boise's, making Pocatello a destination for
Now, this is all possible.
The Relight the Night committee is excited that the past location of the sign is now the future location. They have identified at least 20 signs in the old town area that have potential for restoration, and they plan on doing their best to make sure it happens.
They'll work with current business owners, the Old Town Pocatello organization and the City of Pocatello to find cost-effective solutions while applying for grants to help fund the restorations.
These words were spoken when the chief theater opened in 1938:
"I was not built merely of marble, mortar and steel, but born with a heart, soul and purpose. I was the creation of a mentality on fire; the product of a dreamer. I was a reality loved into life."
Now, the same can be said for the Chief Theater sign and those who have been working to get it restored.
"Boy, it was beautiful in its day," Dixon reminisced.
And it will be once again.

The Secondary Education Minor, offered by the Lynch School of Education, enables students to combine a liberal arts education and scholarship in a major discipline with professional study and practice. The program is founded on the belief that high school teaching is an important profession, requiring a lifelong commitment to service and professional growth. The program aims to prepare teachers to assist their students to develop as human and humane individuals: knowledgeable, skilled and caring. To fulfill this responsibility requires teachers who are perceptive and sensitive people, able to communicate well, dedicated to both the art and the science of teaching and committed to the belief that whatever and whenever the rewards, what excellent teachers do is significant and worthwhile.
Students from the College of Arts and Sciences who major in the following are eligible:

Inclusive Education Minor
for Students in the College of Arts & Sciences and Caroll School of Management
The Department of Teacher Education, Special Education, & Curriculum and Instruction (LSOE) offers the Inclusive Education minor for students enrolled in the College of Arts & Sciences and Caroll School of Management. The minor is designed to (a) introduce students to the world of disabilities and special education, with an emphasis on special education practice, and (b) enhance the ability of future professionals to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse population of students in America's schools. Many students are interested in complementing their major field of study with study of disabilities, education, and human diversity. Further, a portion of BC graduates become involved in education fields through such endeavors as enrollment in Masters degree programs in education and teaching via programs such as Jesuit Volunteer Corps, Peace Corps, Teach for America, and private school teaching. The proposed minor is compatible with efforts of A&S, CSOM, and Lynch School of Education's joint Teachers for a New Era initiative. The six-course minor is consistent with the number of courses/credits required for minors in the College of Arts & Sciences and Caroll School of Management, and includes two courses that students may take as part of BC core requirements (PY030, 031).
The advantages of the Inclusive Education Minor include:
- Opportunity to explore scholarly interests and career options related to individuals with special needs (e.g., classroom or special education teacher, speech/language pathology, school counseling, teacher of the deaf)

Four Million Fewer Covered at Work Under Obamacare
by Keith Koffler on March 14, 2012, 8:56 am
A new report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office states that by 2016, Obamacare will result in 4 million people fewer people getting health insurance coverage from their employers.
The estimate is a vast increase from the CBO prediction just a year ago that 1 million would no longer obtain coverage from their employers. And it raises substantial questions about the veracity of one of Obama's key pledges in selling the health care law – that everyone who wants to keep their current health insurance plan and doctor could do it.
It's not clear how many of the 4 million would be forced out as a result of employers dropping coverage. But it can be assumed that many will indeed lose their insurance and have to seek it elsewhere, since few people would seem likely to intentionally abandon coverage provided by an employer.
HOw's that working out for ya?

The news service on ICTs for social justice and sustainable development
Recently APCNews talked to privacy advocate Gus Hosein about APC's forthcoming research into sexuality and the internet in Brazil, India, Lebanon, South Africa, and USA. As a serious researcher himself based at the London School of Economics and deputy director of Privacy International responsible for research and networking, what impresses Hosein most is the soft part of the research — the stories and the contextualisation. EroTICs has given advocates stories and contexts to think about that debates about privacy and censorship lacked he says. "I wish real research did this more often," he told us. EroTICs is an exploratory research on sexuality and internet carried out by APC in 2009-10. A summary of the findings is now online and the full report will be out later this year.
Cambodian villagers take back the tech to end violence against their neighbours
AUSTIN (KB for APCNews) — In Cambodia women are traditionally considered subordinate to men and violence a socially acceptable way to resolve domestic conflicts. Now a grassroots group has brought together the locals and police in 25 villages using education, mobile phones and ham radios to break the silence that keeps violence against women a terrible family secret as part of APC's Take Back the Tech!
New research on sexuality and the internet is an "eye-opener"
MONTEVIDEO (KAH and AF for APCNews) – "It was an eye-opener," says privacy advocate Gus Hosein when he talks about the findings from APC's exploratory research on sexuality and the internet in Brazil, India, Lebanon, South Africa, and USA. And it's given him some good ammunition with which to field those annoying radio callers who question the need for privacy online.

Wheat Belly
About the Author
Dr. William Davis is a practicing cardiologist in Milwaukee, WI with over 25 years of experience treating patients. Dr. Davis has impressive credentials: he is a graduate of St. Louis University School of Medicine and the Ohio State University Hospitals, with additional training in advanced cardiac catheterization techniques and coronary angioplasty at the Case-Western Reserve University system in Cleveland. But along the way, Dr. Davis discovered that his heart patients had a host of other problems, including obesity, gout, GERD, IBS, celiac disease, unexplained rashes and other mystifying symptoms.
There is no one as certain of the truth as a scientist cloistered in academia, performing tests on cells in a petri dish, or a researcher running computer programs to find patterns in data. While doctors share the same training in the scientific method they also live in the real world, and they often see their patients reacting very differently than popular studies and national dietary standards describe.
Dr. Davis' Journey
Like many other medical doctors, Dr. Davis found that low carb diets were most effective in lowering his patient's weight and improving lipid panel results. But he is aware of the exceptions, where a person's genetic makeup can require a different approach. It is this relentless pursuit of truth and frank discussion of exceptions that makes his Track Your Plaque / Heart Scan Blog so valuable.
Dr. Davis noted his patients had dramatic improvements in other health issues after restricting carbohydrates. After thousands of years of eating carbohydrates, why would the last 50 years see such a dramatic increase in GERD, pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, obesity and celiac disease? Not satisfied with simply knowing the facts, Dr. Davis sought the cause of the rapid increase.
His new book, Wheat Belly provides his answer: wheat. Yes, that golden grain, enshrined in our mythology and patriotic songs, is killing us. But humans have eaten wheat for thousands of years.
So why has this seemingly benign plant that sustained generations of humans suddenly turned on us? For one thing, it is not the same grain our forebears ground into their daily bread. Wheat naturally evolved to only a modest degree over the centuries, but it has changed dramatically in the past fifty years under the influence of agricultural scientists.
About Wheat Belly, the Book
Eminently readable, Wheat Belly is written in a conversational style, suitable for any audience. Extensive footnotes are gathered together in the References section at the end of the book, where they don't interfere with the text. Sidebars include fascinating details; patient success stories, insights into heirloom wheat, etc.
The book is just under 300 pages, divided into three main sections:
- Wheat, The Unhealthy Whole Grain
- Wheat and its Head-to-Toe Destruction of Health
- Say Goodbye to Wheat
The first section gives the history of wheat, from the heirloom wheat mentioned in the Bible (einkorn, gathered by semi-nomadic tribes such as the Natufians as far back as 8500 BCE) to the modern, genetically altered variety created by aggressive cross breeding in the past 50 years.
Differences between the wheat of the Natufians and what we call wheat in the twenty-first century would be evident to the naked eye. Original einkorn and emmer wheat were "hulled" forms, in which the seeds clung tightly to the stem. Modern wheats are "naked" forms, in which the seeds depart from the stem more readily, a characteristic that makes threshing (separating the edible grain from the inedible chaff) easier and more efficient, determined by mutations at the Q and Tg (tenacious glume) genes . . . But other differences are even more obvious.
Note: the ellipsis indicates I removed a reference to a study mentioned previously in the text.
The differences in modern and ancient wheat is more than "skin deep". On the glycemic index, whole wheat bread exceeds table sugar, scoring 72 versus sugar's 59 on the scale. Because the carbohydrates in modern wheat are so easily digestible, eating whole grain results in the same blood sugar impact as an equivalent amount of highly processed flour. White bread, with less of the whole wheat grain, comes in at 70. A Snickers candy bar comes in lower, with a glycemic index of 41.
Interestingly, Dr. Davis' self-experiment with baking bread showed his own blood sugar rise from 84 mg/dl to 110 mg/dl with 4 ounces of bread made with einkorn wheat. He also baked bread with modern wheat, keeping all other ingredients the same, and consumed the same four ounces. His blood sugar shot up from 84 mg/dl to 167 mg/dl.
Dr. Davis provides more detail on the genetic differences that carry unknown effects including the increase in chromosomes from 14 to 42.
Wheat and Modern Health
After establishing why modern wheat is different, Dr. Davis lists the health impact this new, genetically modified food product has introduced. First among impacts is the addictive property of modern wheat, and how it stimulates hunger. Then an extensive treatment of each health condition:
- Obesity
- Celiac Disease
- Diabetes and Insulin Resistance
- Acid Reflux and Stomach pH
- Cataracts, Wrinkles, and the aging process
- Heart Disease
- Wheat's effect on the brain
- Acne, rashes and other skin problems
Each chapter in this section includes footnotes to studies, as well as examples from Dr. Davis' practice. Each topic is fully developed, and written in an easy-to-read style without excessive medical terminology (Dr. Davis explains the medical terms he does use).
Practical Application of Wheat Elimination
In the third section, Dr. Davis deconstructs the modern "eat healthy whole grains" advice. If you eliminate all wheat, do you end up with vitamin and mineral deficiency? Not if you follow his basic (and very easy) guidelines. Dr. Davis comments on the true effect of eliminating wheat:
Let me describe a typical person with wheat deficiency: slender, flat tummy, low triglycerides, high HDL ("good") cholesterol, normal blood sugar, normal blood pressure, high energy, good sleep, normal bowel function.
The book devotes 37 pages to Dr. Davis' simple method for eliminating wheat and replacing it with unlimited vegetables, raw nuts, grass fed beef, chicken and fish, and other whole, nutritious foods. He departs from the usual low carb / paleo prescription to warn about eating too much processed meat, with its chemical soup of seasoning, nitrates and other potentially harmful chemicals. And, a special note is made regarding the proliferation of "gluten free" products that substitute fructose and "chemical soup" in place of wheat that may still pose health risks. Instead, Dr. Davis provides a variety of great wheat free recipes to provide an insight into managing a diet without wheat, introducing wonderful variety and enjoying the journey.
My Conclusions
I am by nature a skeptical person, but my personal experience with low carb dieting led me to believe, long before I discovered Dr. Davis' blog, that I may have a "hidden" wheat allergy. After suffering from painful GERD for over a decade, I noted a rapid decrease in symptoms when I started a low carb diet. My GERD does not return when I have the occasional indulgence of ice cream while on a cruise, but comes back with a vengeance when I consume wheat products. My personal experience is not scientific proof, of course, any more than the sidebar stories of dramatic cures are scientific proof in Wheat Belly.
I suspect I will still eat bacon and other processed meats, and I don't share the enthusiasm for grass fed organic beef and free range chickens and eggs. But those quibbles aside, Dr. Davis' clinical experience, supported by his scientific research as revealed in 16 pages of references, make a powerful argument that I find hard to refute.
It is easy to do your own experiment; there are no adverse health effects to eliminating wheat and eating according to Dr. Davis' easy prescription. Two weeks is usually sufficient to notice differences in some conditions. I can heartily recommend Wheat Belly as a practical guide to seeing if you also have a "hidden" wheat allergy.

Man accused of videotaping himself torturing, killing kitten
PUEBLO, Colo. - The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region says a Pueblo man is facing charges for allegedly videotaping himself torturing and killing a 12-week-old kitten.
Robert Heckmann, 25, is facing felony animal cruelty charges.
The Humane Society says the video shows Heckmann trying to drown and then eventually strangling the orange tiger Kitten named Loki. It says Heckmann was arrested after animal law enforcement officers searched his home and found Loki's body in a garbage can on Jan. 19.
According to the Humane Society, animal law enforcement officers also found a number of text messages about the incident on his cell phone. It says one text read quote: "I feel like a (expletive) sick person… You feel euphoric and just don't care what else is going on. A huge natural high. That's why killing is addictive. I haven't had that high in so long, and I'm pissed it's already over."
Joe Stafford, Director of Animal Law Enforcement at the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region and Pueblo Animal Services, says this is one of the worst, most distressing cases of cruelty he has ever seen.
"There is a strong correlation between animal cruelty and other forms of violence. This type of violence worries me." Stafford said."We've seen many cases in which those convicted of animal cruelty go on to commit other acts of violence such as domestic violence, child abuse, or elder abuse. Our main concern is to see justice done on behalf of Loki. While it's up to the courts to decide, we hope Heckmann is prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
Heckmann is out on bond and awaiting arraignment. He faces up to 18 months in prison if convicted of the charges he's facing.
Animal law enforcement with the Humane Society rescued Loki's brother, Stewie, from the home. Stafford said that Stewie witnessed the torture and killing but has not shown many ill effects.
Stewie suffers from a congenital esophagus malformation that will require extensive surgery before he will be available for adoption. Staff veterinarians are working with a specialist to get him the best care possible. He will eventually be up for adoption at the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region.

U.S. District Judge Patricia Minaldi has been set for December 5.
According to the evidence, on May 24, 2012 U.S. Postal workers inspected a package from China and discovered that it contained one kilogram of anabolic steroid powder. The address on the package was for a Jennings residence.
On May 30, 2013, authorities observed a woman picking up the parcel from the post office in Jennings. After detaining the woman, she told authorities the package was for Benoit. Benoit was questioned by police and admitted to importing steroid tablets and powder from China. He admitted that after receiving the drugs, he liquefied them and placed them in vials for distribution.
Homeland Security Investigations, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Jennings Police Department conducted the investigation.

Springfield, Ohio — It may have been an unseasonably cool spring day, but Wittenberg's Class of 2013 allowed nothing to dampen its collective spirit as the university celebrated its 168th Commencement exercises in front of an enthusiastic, standing-room-only crowd in idyllic Commencement Hollow.
University President Laurie Joyner led her first Commencement celebration, welcoming the 365 members of the Class of 2013 into the prestigious ranks of Wittenberg alumni. She also introduced three distinguished guests, the 2013 Commencement speaker and National Retail Foundation CEO Matthew Shay, class of 1984, former CIA leader Fritz Ermarth, and historian Hans Michael Ermarth, who each received an honorary doctor of humane letters during the ceremony.

Joyner welcomed the graduates and their invited guests to the ceremony, while making special mention of the parents in attendance. They were invited to stand and were recognized by the assembled crowd with a thunderous ovation.
She then saluted the members of the Class of 2013.
"As a class, you challenged us to live up to our mission and to celebrate diversity in all its forms," Joyner said. "Your kindness, engagement and passion for this university have reminded me of how privileged we all are to serve you."
Wittenberg's Class of 2013 included 26 "non-traditional" students from Wittenberg's School of Community Education, in addition to undergraduate students from 27 different states and seven countries outside of the United States. Undergraduate degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Science were awarded, in addition to Master of Arts in Education degrees that were given to four graduates. A total of 27 different majors, spanning the alphabet from art to theatre and dance, were represented in the graduating class, which included 222 females and 143 males.
Joyner offered some advice to the graduates as they prepare to "for the next part of your journey."
"I would encourage you to remain true to your core principles, even when it requires great courage to do so," she said. "Embrace what you value in all that you do, stretch yourself even more than you already have, challenge yourself to always do the right thing, lead with compassion, integrity and courage, and fight for all that is just."
Latin honors were awarded to 117 of the graduates in recognition of their exceptional academic pursuits. Forty-one of them were designated cum laude (3.5-3.69 grade point average), 33 magna cum laude (3.7-3.79) and 43 summa cum laude (3.8-4.0), including three students who hold perfect 4.0 grade point averages: Sarah Kessler, Rebecca Price and Amy Stamon.
Joyner welcomed Senior Class President Aaron Long to the podium, who livened up the ceremony with his reflections of the last four years and a quote from comedian Dave Chappelle, "You know you must be doing something right if old people like you."
"We might not realize it right now, but we have acquired all of the necessary tools to make old people like us," Long said in an unusual tribute to a Wittenberg education before concluding his remarks with the symbolic passing the torch to 2014 Senior Class President Ben Longstreth.
Long was followed to the podium by Shay, who leads the world's largest retail trade association and serves as chief spokesman for an industry that includes more than 3.6 million U.S. establishments, said he was honored by the opportunity to return to his alma mater. Shay was accompanied by numerous family members, including his three siblings who are also Wittenberg graduates.
Shay's reflections on his time at Wittenberg included chuckles about all the fun he had while on campus. He thanked campus leaders like retired Dean of Students Richard Scott and Professor Emeritus Gerry Hudson for giving him "second chances" that he has made the most of since graduating from Wittenberg with a degree in political science.
He encouraged the graduates to pursue their passions, even in their professional careers. He offered examples from his career while counseling the graduates to "never get outworked" before capping his remarks with some words of wisdom.
"Your real responsibility is to find a way to honor those people who stood up earlier (the parents) and those can't be here with us and those sitting behind me and those that work in the maintenance department here – everyone here who made the last four years for you possible," Shay said. "Your job now is to take what they gave you and find someone to honor the sacrifices they made.
"Nobody would be here if somebody didn't make a sacrifice for you. Someone made a commitment that this was important enough for you to do and they've made their lives' work to make it possible for you to do this. So you need to go out and show them that you earned this privilege, that you can live up to the sacrifice they made for you. Most importantly, you need to take that light that we talk about here at Wittenberg and you need to pass it on to others. That's your challenge."
Joyner summed up the day with her views on a Wittenberg University education.
"Use your gifts to the fullest," she said. "Embrace them, build upon them, and then give them away. Becoming fully human through education and service to others is the real purpose of what we do here at Wittenberg University."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|If you get lucky your goldfish might not eat hornwort, and it looks similar to cabomba. My goldfish ignores it, but other people say it gets eaten. Depending on your lighting, it might grow too fast, but it's nice to have something that grows quickly in a low-light tank.
|Gold Finger
Vals and....
Hey Crossbow. I am currently planting a goldfish tank and was wondering if you could suggest a plant which might work alongside my vals. I have seen a number of stoies like yours where only the Vals ended up surviving the goldfish longterm. I would really like to have a stem plant that looks kind of like cabomba to compliment the look of the vals. I want a fast grower. Nitrate consumption is a must. Currently, I am considering Asian Ambulia, Cabomba, and Water Violet.
The only time I've had any ick issues, was when there was a large amount of fish stress. This was due in part to insufficient filtration for the tank in question. Goldfish are incredibly hardy, but they require an excessive amount of filtration, and an excessive amount of water volume to live healthy lives. They also require temperature stability, and are not cold water fish, as many people believe. Any significant amount of stress will usually cause an ick outbreak.
Generally you want roughly 10-20 gallons per goldfish in terms of water volume, and you want an utterly obscene amount of filtration. I run a Rena XP3 on my 46 gallon bowfront. (It's rated for 175 gallons). Goldfish are the aquarium equivilant of a cow. They can and will eat almost nonstop, and produce what seems like an endless amount of waste. (Leading cause of death to goldifsh, besides insufficient filtration, is overeating) Most of the reasons you can't have goldfish with many other fish types isn't that they wouldn't get along...it's that the other fish can't handle the pollution the goldfish make!
As for temperature, I run it at 74F with one of those 200 watt inline hydror's. Though goldfish are commonly thought to be cold water fish, they actually thrive in warmer temperatures. They can "tolerate" cold temperatures, but prefer warmer ones. Bottom of tank siphon and roughly 40-50% water change weekly. Once a month I break down the XP3 and rinse out the sponges, and replace the pre-filter if needed.
It's funny because goldfish are usually rated as "easy" fish to take care of...when in reality, they're quite difficult to take care of properly. With the proper setup and care, most goldfish will outlive the family cat or dog! (Keep this in mind when choosing the type of fish to take care of! Goldfish can live 20+ years!!!)
I eventually plan to move the goldfish to a larger tank, as they are getting gigantic now. Chomper is as big as my hand!
Having just moved, I understand your pain. The Val's are just now starting to come back. I lost roughly 50% of them in the move. Was worried for a bit, but then I remembered it usually takes about 2 weeks or so for the plants to get out of their shock phase and back into growing bonkers.
|Thanks....I will contact them when the tank gets closer to being put together. I am planning a move in the next 4 weeks, so the tank is in an assembly mode right now. The move is cross country, so sometime after the first of the year I will put it together. I really enjoyed the photos of your tank! I have the same type of Vals....grow across the top and down of my 28 gallon bowfront also like yours. Weekly trimming. I may replace them with something shorter, although I love the lush look of them.
|My goldfish always get ick everytime i add another one, eventually i switched to tropical, does your goldfish ever get ick?
|I bought it pre-built from Ahsupply. I should point out, their 96 watt kit is a bit too powerful for the 46 gallon. It's really powerful!
|Did you buy it prebuilt from AH Supply or did you build it with their specs? They have a DIY canopy page. Thanks....
|dang, that's a pretty sweet tank. planning to start a tank soon, hopefully my plants grow like yours.
Hey! Yes I got the canopy from ahsupply. I don't know if they make them anymore, at the time it was a perfect size for the tank. Even better, the plastic cover that fits with the original aquaclear light canopy, perfectly fits under the ahsupply hood, thus preventing splashes, and escapes!
I'll try to get some photos soon. The Val's took a beating, so the tank isn't exactly perfect right now....well that hasn't stopped me before, I might as well take some shots .
Another question.. this time about the hood / enclosure for the lights
Did you get the 'canopy' or hood from ahsupply? Was it part of the lighting retro-fit kit that you got?
I am looking to do something similar, but have found no 'commercially produced' canopies for bowfront tanks. Fishtanksdirect has complete sets, but I would rather use the stand that Petsmart is using on their 46 gallon glass tank (I have a matching one on my 28 gallon bowfront--its a girl thing, I guess), but there are no enclosed canopies sold singly, that I have found. I am a DIY kind of person, so if I can't find it, I may build something to keep the light from sneaking out between the tank and light fixture. I am also getting a clear back so I can change background colors. My 28 gallon bowfront has a mirror back and that is awesome.
Your goldfish are SO beautiful.....
|Can't wait to see new pictures! I love the goldfish, they're so cute and have great personalities.
Hey Payback,
I find that the openings do limit your ability to clean somewhat (unless you have long arms), and also limit the size of the items you can place in the tank. I have an awesome piece of driftwood that won't fit no matter how i turn it.
As such, I still enjoy the tank, and don't find the ability to clean "too" limiting.
We finally finished moving, and everyone survived, so will get some photos up after I get a chance to clean the tank this coming weekend.
Goldfish have gotten gigantic....going to need a new tank soon....
Question about the SeaClear cut-outs on top
First off, I loved this thread and the conversations. I have several planted tanks and have been looking at the 46 Bowfront by SeaClear myself. I was hesitant because of the small openings as I am a very manic planter / cleaner. Do you find this tank hard to keep clean inside (algae)? Has anyone changed the size of the openings? I do think that it is a stunning tank!
Hey Cheddar! Thanks for your comments!
Great news. We finally got a house! And it's a dream house! Most of the places we were looking at were 1300 sq feet...we ended up getting a monster sized 2000 sq foot end unit townhome in a great location. Just took 7 months of looking at homes every single day, with 3 failed bids, 1 awful situation, and lots of bank bs.
In the end it all worked out though, and we are in the process of moving to our new permanent home. (At least for 10-15 years).
The fish are doing great. The val's are doing great. I missed cleaning the tank this week, so I won't post any photos just yet. But everyone is alive and kicking, and the val's are hanging in there.
I have started prepping for the fish move. I'm setting up a bare 20 gallon long tank, with a heater and filter setup at the house. 50% of the water will be from the fishes own tank, the rest treated and ready. I'm going to put 2 fish in each 5 gallon painters bucket, with a battery powered air hose, and transport them to the 20L in the new home. Then I'll break down the 46, and move it over, while running the XP3 in a 5G bucket to keep all the bacteria happy.
If anyone has any tips or comments on moving fish, they'd be appreciated. But as of now, that's my main plan. The 20L tank should keep the 4 fish content for at least a few days, giving me some needed time to figure out the new tank setup/placement.
I don't know if I'm going to change out the blue gravel. I might just mix in the eco-complete and get a combo blue/black mix, with some minerals for the plants inter-dispersed. This will cut down on the break down time, and I won't need to mess with the plant roots as much, making the transisition easier.
As to your questions. I cut the val's because they end up growing right into the XP3 outlet, and bending over, messing with the tank flow. Also if I don't cut them, they take over the entire top of the tank. (As seen in some of the other photos). They grow extraordinarily fast. I didn't even dose any excel for the past 2 weeks and they've grown about 6 inches.
Glad you like the photos, it is crazy hard to get a good one. I think I get one good photo for 50 bad ones!
Awesome tank crossbow! Read the whole thread before but didnt comment afterwards Just had to comment this time to praise you on your awesome tank, goldfish, valls and Blue gravel Any updates on the house yet? and I would love to see how the tank looks now, Oh and just a suggestion why dont you let the valls grow long? looks a bit unnatural when they're cut so straight. Oh and P.S that picture of Showy picture of Fin on this page ( http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/ta...project-6.html ) is now my background
Keep on doing what you doing

Hi Bob -
While we are not in complete unison in our thinking on parts of this matter,
I feel you are right on target with your last statement. I will go one step
further and point out that the use of chemicals today IS destroying the
beekeeping industry as report upon report is bearing this out. I'm not a
radical purist that thinks there is no place for drugs and chemicals in our
daily life but I do get frustrated with our industry when something so basic
and simple as a different cell size, that seemingly allows the bees to live
with and keep in check the mites that attack it, as far as I know, is not
currently being studied by our good scientists even though it is being used
by many already with very good results and there are no published papers out
there that I've seen that have spoken negatively of smaller cells and it's
affect on mites.
I appreciate John Edward's reply to my post a few days ago on this subject
and I told him I do appreciate his involvement here on the list. I wish
there were more like him.
I wrote: "Is the idea so off base that it's ludicrous?" I still have never
been told or given a reason by anyone with knowledge in this area that would
cause me to question it (no longer a theory as it is being done successfully
in the field). Bob, I'm afraid Dadant or any other major foundation supplier
won't be turning out the smaller size foundation for you. They won't even do
it for the USDA. Until this whole issue is proven one way or another in the
lab or enough beekeepers take it upon themselves to make their own and a
shift begins to grow, it will stay the same. As time goes by, the physical
proof will come to light and what will matter in the end is whether one
still has live bees to keep and make a living from them. It's not looking
too good with our chemical option is it.
I wonder at times if it isn't comparable to what happened years ago in the
building industry with the advent of PVC plumbing. When efforts were first
made to get PVC accepted in the code book for commercial and residential
use, it was fought by the union to keep it out. This is only natural when
ones "corner on the market", (the ability to work with and install cast
iron) is threatened by a product that is simple to work with and allows
installation at a much faster rate. Many years ago another man invented a
machine that could lay bricks at an astonishing rate but it never saw the
light of day thanks to those who's lively hood was laying bricks by hand.
Still searching for answers.

Discussion Minutes for November 16th, 2011
I. Roll Call
II. Approval of Minutes
III. Approval of Agenda
Motion toadd BSA bill under discussion
IV. Guest Speaker
a. Professor Vandenbusche-Enrollment: Thanksfor having me. I will give you some background, in May of 2011 in a letter tothe editor I commented on the recruitment and enrollment at WSC. Enrollment wasa bit peeved by this. And recently two letters were written about Westernsrecruitment, talking about the wrath of the administrators. I have done a tonto progress this school, and recruit for this school. When I talk aboutenrollment, it is something that I do fairly successfully. In my opinion, thisis a critical time is WSC's history. Some facts: a great outdoor area, greatnational caliber programs, only search a rescue team. Vans from all over thenation studying biology, the rocky mountain gothic biological lab is worldrenown, small classed. Conservatively 1.5 million people visit the Gunnisonvalley. 342,000 skier days at CB. 174K skiers at monarch. We can't get anadditional 500 students out of million visitors. We have a very minorrelationship with CBMR & Monarch, or with the national parks service. Administrationcan argue but they can argue that enrollment has been going down for the last7-8 years. I have gone through all weekly papers, an in 1969 2,970 students,1,000 more than today. There are more colleges, but the population is alsolarger. Every college and university is up, and is considerably up. Bestoutdoor location and better academic programs than other Colorado schools. Enrollmentand recruitment in the last 7-8 years has not worked. WSC needs a minimum of anadditional 500 students. With all these new buildings, fees have gone up, andthey will go up more. More students=fewer fees, and will help in recruiting.I've heard what we can't do. I'm interested in what we can do. There are a lotof excuses. Some things I think we need to do better relationship withtourists, a much closer relationship with the north end of the valley, highpower people vacation in this area, doctors, lawyers etc. talented people. Geta group of people to help sponsor and place interns, donate money to college,give talks, and scholarships. There are multitalented people that want to helpWSC, where the money and talent is. Consider adding more sports. Adams added 5sports, and there was a spike in enrollment. All programs are picking moresports. We should be involved with skiing. Maybe adopting Men and Women'ssoccer team, which would lead to an immediate spike in enrollment.Administrators can recruit two students each year. WSC is much better known inNew Zealand than some US states. Faculty likes to bitch, and the worst party tobe at is at a faculty party. Involve the alumni office we have thousands ofalum around the nation. We need to approach them and tell them we have aproblem with enrollment at WSC. We need to get involved recruiting moreinternational students, more want to come. More international students wouldadd a cosmopolitan feel to WSC. We can learn from each other! When studentscome in at orientation is a slide show on WSC history to know traditions. Askstudents for suggestions. If every one of us got one student to WSC, we wouldhave a lot more students. Practical things: one-year student teachers foreducation program, we turn out better students. ½ a year might be enough. Morehard copies wouldn't cost more money. Mountain DEWINS, acts for clubs. I wouldlike to see a plan from the administration, a master plan of recruiting.
V. Action Items
VI. Discussion Items
a. BSA Bill
i. Questions concerning bill: What will your event be?
1. It's like a two-part event, a communityart show, and a speaker. So a guest speaker and a community event.
ii. Will there be any interacting with class among the guest speaker?
1. He requested an hour, and is coming theday before, we and can probably get him into classes, perhaps politics andbusiness given his background.
iii. Is this all you budget?
1. The remaining of it. We did a bakesale, and helped freshman move in.
2. Keep in mind this is a prestigiousevent that goes on at campus every year
iv. What will you do if not granted all 800?
1. Fundraising with Dan Cress
v. What is the topic he will speak on?
1. He is our age, and he is supposed to bea motivational speaker, saying controversial things in a positive way. He talksabout his experience as an African American going up in the city. He wants itto be a surprise.
2. We are going to different departmentsto ask them about potential funding.
3. We wrote a letter requesting fundingfrom different departments.
vi. How much of a priority is this?
1. We have to pay the speaker fee and getcontracts signed, so it needs to happen sooner than later.
a. Have agreat safe thanksgiving holiday!
VIII. Senator Reports
a. Erika: for the math bill, we got anadditional $200/person, and saved some money, that might be coming back to SGAfunds.
b. Sarah: NASC is having their finalspeaker this Friday in Quigley auditorium, talking about Ute culture and achili dinner after
c. Nicole: sign up for ultimate Frisbee,prizes!
d. Adam: don't for get your posters fromyour box!!!
e. Rodney: Lots of feedback from studentson how great the adventure film fest is.
f. Katie: Eric Kater from the honorsprogram just said thank you for bringing the speaker of the book.
g. Walker: To get our image out we werethinking coffee with senators or with president, sit around Mad Jacks and drinkcoffee. A way to market.
IX. Committee Reports
a. Haleigh: Constitution committee wassupposed to meet…but now it is canceled. So a quick meeting after this meetingto find a better time.
b. D'Andre: Food committee meeting today,and we will start our sales November 30th
c. Brad: Marketing committee meet afterthis meeting downstairs
d. Nick: Tree committee & Internship:meet after class.

Terrific quilts - nice variety! I love the first one too, being especially fond of pink and green. Did you work on them all yourself, or with a team of ladies from the church? Such a wonderful idea for the graduates.

After tapping the sewage line Sam used Escobar as a Soap Dispenser to clean himself off before getting head.
by TheSewageAuthority March 16, 2011
it's when a girl smokes way too much when she's a teenager, so she gets throat cancer by the age of 20. they have to cut the hole in her throat that you see in those creepy commercials. then, a guy will make her deepthroat him, and when he cums, it comes out of the hole and drips down her neck.
I did the soap dispenser to a new chick that I met at a bar. She didn't have her voice box thingy on her, but I still got her too give me head, and when I busted a nutt it came out like a soap dispenser. when she found her voice box thingy, she told me her name was ivory, ohh the irony

What your stupid ass grandma gets you for Christmas, when all you ask for is a VISA gift card because you are a poor college kid in desperate need of a new computer for school.
Hey C, what did you get for Christmas? Well T, I got a fucking soap dispenser. It looks like a Christmas penguin so I can't even use it all year 'round!

Usually performed alone when extremely bored, curious and/or mentally challenged. 'Soap Dispenser' is the act of a man or woman deciding to lie on their back with their ass against the wall, then vigorously masturbating until climax. They will then proceed to wipe their cum all over their face.
Me: "Why didn't Elena come into work today?"
Luke: "She walked in on her step-son doing the soap dispenser and nobody's heard from her for days."

Angel Custom G2 SUS304 Stainless Steel Precision 6.01mm Airsoft AEG Tightbore Inner Barrel (Length: 470mm)
62 Customer Reviews
by brock m. on 09/16/2016
"I got this barrel a week ago and ever since I installed it I have had amazing accuracy and fps. I put this in my kwa km4 kr14 and I love it. When I installed it I also replaced the hop up bucking with a 75 degree maple leak bucking and I can hit shots at 150 yards or 450 feet!!!! This barrel is amazing and I would definitely buy again. Thanks angel custom!!!!
by Matt B. on 05/10/2016
"It's amazing! Increased my fps by 15! And it's a little longer than my stock M4 one. Thanks again Evike!
by Mae S. on 03/21/2016
"This barrel is great... I have had it for about 3 months and I actually put this in my utg l96 with an Action army hop up chamber and Prometheus hard aeg bucking. I looked down the barrel and it was perfectly smooth and polished . I highly recommend cleaning this barrel with aim sports silicone spray. I do about 3-4 wipes down the barrel with the spray and then 3-4 dry passes. This barrel has let me hit targets spot on, and I can now hit an 8 inch target 10/10 times (not kidding) with this barrel.
by Jack G. on 02/07/2016
"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED increased range soooo much compaed to the stock g&g barrel. Expirienced some jams at first, but not it's fine. Requires frequent cleaning due to the tight bore
by Dannah F. on 12/19/2015
"Amazing barrel, I have several other tight bore barrels, such as Madbull, and Matrix. This barrel out preformed them all, I had no miss feeds in this barrel, even though several other people told me I would. It boosted my fps by 15, compared to the Madbull black Python barrel. Most of the negative reviews for Angel custom barrels seem to be the fact that you can't R hop them, this is true, but not a big problem for most. The only cons to these barrels is that you can't R hop them, and they need more cleaning than most. I own two of these barrels now, and would buy a third.
by Julio L. on 10/17/2015
"I think reviews are helpful to others ..well here is my..
I have used this barrel for 7moths now and i love it.. before i used madbull 6.03 509mm
This barrel 6.01 535 mm does make a difference when i copare those 2 brads ..
Never had a jam.. using .32 matrix on a ics m4 with 470fps...

"I have this installed in my G&G CM16 Raider and I took it out to SC Village last weekend, and what a performance it showed. I was able to hit people from a much further range. There were kills I got that I would have never hit with my old barrel. I would highly recommend this product.
by Donovan M. on 06/03/2015
"I wish I could compare this barrel with my stock one but the original from G&g came bent! I couldn't get my m14 veteran to shoot straight so I removed it and rolled it on a flat table just like I would when looking for a straight pool stick. The OEM barrel flopped like a fish! Did some research and took some measurements, decided on 575. It protrudes past the outer barrel just barely but is still secure due to flash hider. I'm getting solid shots around 75yards with 28s, which out ranges almost all I have ran into over the past 4 years of airsoft. I also added a Modify flat hop bucking/nub combo. I am very pleased with the range and accuracy this barrel has given me. I have already recommend it to a couple of friends who were impressed with it's performance
by Tony P. on 05/23/2015
"I put this barrel in my KWA G36c, and am well pleased with the results. The gun is much more accurate on both full and semi, and the FPS has increased. I am yet to crono the gun but I would estimate a 20fps increase and groupings at 30yds going from 12in with the stock barrel, to about 6-7 with the tightbore. Closer in the accuracy increase is HUGE. Seriously. It's like a laser. I like lasers. The only drawback is of course, the fact that you really need to keep your gun clean. I clean mine about every....2500 rounds, if you go past 3000 you can really see a pretty big spread from the barrel being dirty. This upgrade is worth every penny.
by Andrew C. on 03/13/2015
"Great quality packaging, very nice sturdy steel. Barrel has nice weight to it, and is easily 3 times heavier then G&G stock barrel. Works great in my Combat Machine and should work with any AEG. I get great accuracy and range with this and slight FPS increase.
-Great Packaging
-Great Build Quality
-Great increased accuracy & Range
-FPS Increase
-Should be cheaper in my opinion.

"This is a very nice tightbore for the price. I put this in a KWA G36K project gun, and I received a jump in FPS from 380FPS to 405FPS. That is a huge improvement in air seal. I also recieved a decent jump in maximum effective range and accuracy (I say decent because KWA's stock barrels are pretty nice at 6.03mm made of a nice brass) from an estimated 180ft to a 200+ft range (stock 2GX hopup) with overall tighter groupings. The finish is nearly perfect and the stainless steel is great. I'm very impressed with this barrel and it's overall quality. Also, the packaging is the greatest thing to happen to airsoft barrels since the first tightbore.
by michael b. on 09/13/2014
"Put this in my magpull masada as wellI.it gained 20fps and 40feet in range. Very pleased with this upgrade.
by Joseph I. on 07/06/2014
"Installed this on my magpul masada with a pdi w bucking. This barrel is tons better then the stock barrel, and completely worth the money. I have never used a prometheus or pdi so I don't know how this compares with the more expensive stainless barrel. I have three guns all running angel custom barrels and have effective ranges from 100' to 150'. These barrels have a tendency to jam with 5.98 ammo depending on the bucking used. I would recommend a 5.95 bb such as elite force with these.
by Richard N. on 04/13/2014
"Besides being absolutely sexy, this inner barrel really tightened up the grouping of my G&G M4. Have no qualms about getting yourself one of these little beauties. The engraving (though not something easily flaunted since the gun is not the easiest to take apart) is special and adds a little personality to the m4. Paired with a good bucking like the Prometheus, this thing shoots lasers and has a consistent velocity between 380-390fps (at least in mine). This and the bucking are the only changes I've made to my M4 (besides a stock) and I gotta say, I'm keeping it that way.
- excellent build, sexy, improves accuracy. Pair with good bucking for best results.

"i bought one for my g&g mp5a4, along with the 8.25 inch silencer, to cover it up. accuracy is top notch. no problems what so ever. ive been into airsoft for about 10 months now, I would recommend this product to anyone!

Reviews of this property
Very nice apartment and very comfortable, the building and the area where it is located very nice. We just had the problem with the internet was disabled and had not for a day but resolved giving us a portable device which turned out to be much better. Overall a good place.
Muy bonito apartamento y muy cómodo, el edificio y la zona donde esta ubicado muy agradable. Solo tuvimos el problema con el internet que no estaba habilitado y no lo tuvimos por un día pero se resolvió entregándonos un dispositivo portátil el cual resulto ser mucho mejor. En general un buen lugar.
The reception was very friendly, and Filiberto has made every effort to make us feel comfortable and welcome.
The apartment was perfectly adequate and satisfactory for the 4 of us.
The only deduction is available for the Internet or the wireless, which did not work rarely and when using the single LAN cable.
All in all our stay was very pleasant and also some outlying situation has not disturbed. In this way, you can see much more of the actual Milan.
Der Empfang war sehr freundlich, und Filiberto hat sich alle Mühe gemacht, uns wohl und willkommen fühlen zu lassen.
Das Apartment war für uns 4 vollkommen ausreichend und zufrieden stellend.
Den einzigen Abzug gibt es für das Internet bzw. das W-Lan, welches nur selten und bei Verwendung des einzigen LAN-Kabels überhaupt nicht funktionierte.
Alles in allem war unser Aufenthalt sehr angenehm und auch die etwas abseits gelegene Lage hat überhaupt nicht gestört. Auf diese Weise sieht man viel mehr vom eigentlichen Mailand.
We found the apartment in Milan well. In the sweltering heat, we were grateful for the well-functioning air conditioning. The city center is by tram and metro in 20 - to 30 minutes away pretty quickly. Filiberto was very nice, and has tried successfully to put the Internet in the apartment very quickly in transition. We were three of us there, the apartment is highly recommended. Emili, Helen, Bernd from Germany, Brühl, Kassel.
Wir fanden die Wohnung in Mailand gut. Bei der Gluthitze waren wir dankbar für die gut funktionierende Klimaanlage. Das Stadtzentrum ist mit Straßenbahn und U Bahn in 20 - 30 Minuten recht schnell zu erreichen. Filiberto war sehr nett, und hat sich erfolgreich bemüht, das Internet in der Wohnung sehr schnell in Gang zu setzen.
Wir waren zu dritt dort, die Wohnung ist empfehlenswert.
Emili, Helen, Bernd aus Deutschland, Brühl, Kassel.
Nice apartment. Easy to go to center of the city by tram. We could reach a restaurant with very good gluten free pizza (senza glutine) by walking 20 minutes (Pizzeria Ristorante da Hakim, Via Valazze 74). Small shops close to the apartment.
the accommodation is exactly as described, the condo is very quiet, unlike other areas of Milan I had no problem finding parking for your car.
l'alloggio è esattamente come descritto, il condominio è molto tranquillo , a differenza di altre zone di milano non ho avuto nessun problema a trovare parcheggio per l'auto .
If everything went well, the apartment was immaculate happy again. The pizzeria and IE corner l 'Arcta or so I highly recommend.
Hat alles gut geklappt die Wohnung war tiptop gerne wieder. Die Pizzeria und IE Ecke l' arcta oder so kann ich sehr empfehlen.
The apartment was good value for money. We stayed in Milan for 3 days with 4 boys in the age of 24-27. The apartment was large enough, the beds were quite good. The location of the apartment is a few kilometres from the centre. There's a tram stop right in front of the apartment so everytime we decided to go to the centre we took the tram. It took about 15 minutes to reach the city centre and we didn't had to pay at all. Compared to the high prices of the hotels in Milan, I think this apartment is a very reasonable offer. You shouldn't expect too much luxury but the beds, TV, fridge and the bathroom were all good and that is what a man need, isn't it?
Our main goal of the trip to Milan was Il Derby della Madonnina. Although I have been a lot of matches through whole Europe, this was a special derby. So much passion from both sets of fans, really impressive!
It was a great apartment, nice location and from the beginning he gave us really well information.
The apartment is very clean and confenient. We can find all the stuff easily.. :)
He even help us to book a taxi.
which is its not easy to communicate with English there.
Very nice apartment, everything we needed, close to public transportation.

I have a cabinet indentical to that one. I love it and just set my machine on top. I leave the extentsion up all the time.
I would never cut into the top.

Another Phyllis
This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
If you are going to spend that much I would buy a sew-ezi table. I love mine.
This is the cabinet that I have and love it. When you open the left side it has small bins for miscellaneous items and the right side is a cupboard. It was easy to put together and for me to compensate for the height problem I use an adjustable secretaries chair on casters. Works great. The price here looks really good. I have had mine for 4 years so I paid less for it. Holds everything you need.
I have three of these with two I cut holes for my machines and added a shelf the depth of my machines. works nicely with both. I love them!
The cabinet door is that shelves or what is in there? If it is just a cabinet with shelves if you want them, you could put one of those apparatus that go in kitchen cabinets to allow you to open your cabinet door and the mixer or what ever pops up and you can work right there. It would be like a short L. When you were ready to put it away, you just Somethinglet it go back into the cabinet. like this
Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great. Mark Twain
I am just beginning to do the larger quilts. I started doing them on my dinning room table so I had room. Eating is over rated at my house I guess but I must sew. My sewing room is. A work in progress yet. I love all the ideas here.
I would just buy a lift so you could use the cabinet I found one at a woodworking shop. Easy to install
Your signature ID: 54489-296-2CF6E9BBE4DB9B078ACCB9FB17BC3416
If you have the right tools and/or the right person (I would ask my DH in a minute to do this for me) who knows what they are doing, I think you could easily convert this setup especially if you are trying not to spend more money or do not need another cabinet to fit into your room. However, if money and room space are not a problem, then I would buy a cabinet that has the lift mechanism for the machine. Your call, really. It certainly is nicer to sew with the machine on an even level with the cabinet. Hope you find what works for you.
