Of the million or more animal species in the world, more than 98 percent are invertebrates. Invertebrates don't have an internal skeleton made of bone, so no backbones! Many types of invertebrates exist with the most common invertebrates being arthropods, which include insects, arachnids and crustaceans – all creatures currently housed at the Butterfly Pavilion.
The theme of the contest this year is Bug-A-Pedia, which means bugs in culture. According to Charlotte Swatek, Art Exhibit Coordinator, the theme allowed the students to learn how important insects are in humans' everyday lives while being creative and expressive. "The students' art work is just amazing this year – they really picked up on the theme," Swatek said.
The art projects focus on how insects have a strong presence in all cultures around the world. While making their art projects, students learned how invertebrates have influenced art, food and religion across the globe and throughout history. Fifteen (15) schools are participating in the Bug-A-Pedia Art Exhibition. Participating schools include:
- Betty Adams Elementary
- Riverdale Elementary
- Littleton Preparatory Charter School
- Arapahoe Ridge Elementary
- The Studio School
- Thornton Elementary
- Stargate School
- Witt Elementary
- Ryan Elementary
- Sheridan Green Elementary
- Skyview Elementary
- Lukas Elementary
- Cotton Creek Elementary
- Leroy Drive Elementary
- LIFE Christian Academy
Over 400 entries were received and are on display throughout the Pavilion. The winners of the contest will receive prizes, which are awarded in February. A total of six prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in both the Elementary and Middle school categories will be given, and voting is conducted by the Butterfly Pavilion staff and volunteers to determine the winners. The annual art contest began in 2001. The temporary art exhibition is included in the price of admission.

Behemoth Loudspeaker Project
I'm working out a plan to build a pair of behemoth loudspeakers mostly with parts I have lying around. Becuase of this, I know I'm not going to get true audiophile sound, but since the drivers are here doing nothing, I don't mind. Perhaps it will turn out to have "frugal-phile" sound. This is basically a pair of real thumpers I can use for parties and such.
The plan so far:
I've got 8 Axon 6S3 6.5" drivers and Axon 4 T1S 1" tweeters. The upper portion of the speaker will consist of 4 of the 6.5" midbasses and two of the tweeters, in a ~2cu ft sealed box, with some woofers yet to be purchased to fill out the bottom end. For simplicity's sake I'm likely to use this crossover ( http://www.zalytron.com/Schematics/gerXO.jpg ) with another 16 or 24 db/octave crossover for the subwoofers.
I was looking at the Ultimate PS10 subwoofer (parts express part number 292-780) for the bottom end. They're designed for car use, and probably don't have the greatest sound. They do have good numbers for a ~3 cu ft vented enclosure with low frequency response and rather good SPL, though. Plus they're relatively inexpensive ($58 each). Two of them in series would hopefully give me enough volume to match the upper end without significant attenuation. Any alternative ideas are welcome.
Because of the rather bad low-end response of the 6S3's, I'll probably pick a crossover to the subs at > 100Hz, which is very much less then ideal.
I am interested in any comments or especially suggestions on the project. I'll be sure to post a few photos of the monsters when they're done.

Preliminary look of the thing.. I realize MTM doesn't work so well unless the drivers are as close together as possible, but this is the only asthetically pleasing look i can come up with. Perhaps I should do wwtwwt from bottom to top so there is wider dispersion. The circles in the bass bin are ports, of course.

Reconsidering the woofers. Do I really believe a $60 car subwoofer is going to sound good?
Now searching for < $150 per speaker options that have good bass and fairly high SPL (92dB+)
Possibility: Peerless 831727 CC 10".. Too bad its 8 ohm. I could always ditch half of the midbasses and tweeters, make it a 4ohm speaker and use two of the peerless drivers, though. 3 cu ft enclosure with 2 of them tuned to 22Hz looks good, about 2dB extra bass with an f3 around 40Hz. 3dB of bass boost could give an f3 of almost 30Hz. That coupled with a bit of room gain is pretty respectable bass.

Subs in your price range that you might like.
Just follow that link. I personally have purchased 2 of the Adire Tempest drivers but have not yet built cabinets for them due to a bad back and having had my fourth back surgery on the 31st of December. Kinda put a kink in my plans to build any speaker cabinets for a while. None the less, take a look and see for yourself. . A lot of Very nice subwoofers all on one page.
Hope that this helps a little.
Remember, pause when agitated and always take it one day at atime.
Also, if it's not broken, don't fix it.

There are a few ideas that come to mind with the combination of parts and the basic design youve posted.
The first thing I thought of was the Pass El-Pipe-O. The 6.5 drivers will work in a relatively small box. Take a look at what Tom has done with sono-tubes in this thread.
Ouch! $100.00 for brass mounting hardware
My thought is to mount the MMTMM in the front baffle like Tom mounted his array, but put a thin box on the baffle inside the tube to house the mids. The 10 bass speakers would be mounted in the base as youve shown (although I would have one woofer on the front and one on the side), but it can be tuned as Mr. Pass did for the El-Pipe-O. The sono-tube used by Tom would instead be open on the top (hence the boxes for the mids).
Here in another of Toms threads dealing with El-Pipe-O type designs
t-line subs for a DIY line array
Another thought was to use a single tweeter on the front and one on the rear of the sono-tube. This will also help with the height issue. Mounting one of the woofers on the side will also help lower the MMTMM to listening level.
Here is a Seas 10 woofer from Madisound. http://www.madisound.com/
CA25RE4X @ $54.50 ea.
I know it sounds kind of complicated, but I think it may be easier than building your enclosure as youve shown it.
Those are my thought,

If you need two 4 ohm drivers to make an 8-ohm bass bin, use a pair of the Audax HT240G0 woofers from Parts Express. They look good. They don't plumb the depths the way a true subwoofer would (covering the range from 49-1150 Hz) but they go down at least as deep as a B@$# Acoustimass module, and since you're just lookng for thumpers, the Audax 4-ohm woofers I just listed should do you well. They will handle a lot of power and move a lot of air (double-stacked magnet structure) so your search for the big boom could end here if you want it to.
Another option is the Dayton Titanic drivers, but they may be more than you are willing to spend on a bass woofer.

Have you looked at the Partsexpress Titanic subs. They get good reviews and you can buy the drivers cabinets amps all seperate or as a kit.

My brief thought on the project are as follows.
MMTMM, with the T at the correct height for your ears when seated. Roll off the two outer Ms with a LPF at a frequency where the system will work as a D'Appolito still. Dunlavy, Montana, ProAc amongst others do this. One choke/channel will do.
I guess the Axons will work down to about 100Hz. If so, position the woofs at the sides of the enclosure, near the floor, in push-pull. Couples the bass to the floor well, increases putput, and the PP arrangement can reduce cabinet vibration, especially if you use threaded rod to link the driver's chassis. The woofs should be in a seperate enclosure.
The 12"Titanics would probably be a good match/value.
IME, car drivers are crap. Avoid.

First of all, thanks for all the comments.
The one thing I certainly want is separate bass bins. I move around a few times in a year, and having separate pieces is much easier to move around.
BAM, DIY subwoofer projects gave me a taste for the low bass, I want to get it if I can. Actually, I had looked at those specific drivers when considering this project. They're an option.
I had considered the titanic subwoofers, but they're a bit costly for the job. I do, however, have a tempest and 250W plate amp kicking around. I could puchase another tempest and amp (more then I want to spend, really) and bi-amp the monsters. It does mean gigantic bass bins, though.
I'll have to meditate on my options for a bit.

I finished my dissertation in September 2014, a couple of days later I applied for my dream job and I got the job. My employer told me that one of the decisive reasons that I got the job was my knowledge about criminology and international experience from my Master's. I can use this knowledge and understanding in my current job; For example, when researching how the Danish police can make the best use of their resources, I looked for inspiration and researches elsewhere in the world, and had an understanding of how different or similar those police systems were to the Danish system.

Myth No. 5: Milk Can Help You Lose Weight
The theory: Calcium helps the body break down fat more efficiently, stimulating weight loss.
The reality: Dairy doesn't appear to have magic properties. A few studies from the mid-2000s concluded that dieters who consumed dairy lost more weight than dieters who did not. But other studies showed no effect, and still others showed a link between high milk consumption and eating more calories.
The best advice: Go ahead and eat dairy products, but stick with low-fat versions, which are lower in both calories and unhealthy saturated fats. Milk products are loaded with calcium, of course, but how much calcium you need is a matter of debate. The government recommends at least 1,000 milligrams of calcium for adults under 50 years old (about the amount in three cups of milk) and 1,200 milligrams for people over 50; however, the Harvard School of Public Health holds that no one really knows the healthiest, safest amount of calcium that adults should consume. If dairy products don't agree with you, you can get calcium from fortified soy milk; fortified orange juice; dark green, leafy vegetables, such as kale and collard greens; and certain fish, such as canned salmon.

Today is not my day.
I have been missing a number of classes lately so I made a point if getting up early today. Got myself ready and hung out a few extra minutes before driving to campus. when I get outside its a sleet storm. Driving in is going ok. Slow and steady seems to be working out. The metroparks are shut down do to flooding so I have to take a detour. It involves me driving out of a valley and zigzaging a few times.
As I brake for a turn I start sliding. Like a good Clevelander I can handle a little snow so I recover only to start sliding at the end of the turn. This time I hit the side of a honda.
We drive up the hill and pull over. My door wont own so I crawl out the other side. We make sure everything is ok. No injuries.
She proceeds to offer me a jacket since I only had a hoodie and we chat for a bit. No one seems to care that I just smashed up her car.
Cops come and ask for Id and insurance. I give him mine and mention I am not currently carrying. We issue reports and the lady leaves.
While waiting for the tow truck the officer and I chat while I am sitting in the back of the cruiser. The only other time I was back there wasn't as pleasant. shananagans in high school.
Anyhow, we talk cars and schools and some other stuff. he passes on giving me a citation and I jump in the tow truck.
Now I have been through this before. Car stolen twice. I drop the car at a shop, and stop over grandparents to borrow a car. During this time I issue my statement with the insurance company. Spend some time over there drinking coffer and borrow there car.
mines drivable with a new battery so I make arrangements to pick it up and leave it at home for the adjuster.
While sitting at home feeling all adult, since I am such a responsible young man. I decide to wait in the lobby only to realize I left me keys in the apartment and locked myself out. now I am sitting here waiting for my girlfriend to get home and let me in.
Good thing is I have my phone charger so I can access defensive carry. All is well.
Just felt the need to get that off my chest. Busy day.

Do not touch yourself or something else may go wrong.
Take this for what its worth, but don't miss class.
Think about how much you are paying per class, and every time you don't make it, you are just wasting that money away.
I made it through college with almost never having to study after class (I worked full time for some of college too). I discovered that just by attending class, paying attention and taking notes, I gained enough info to do well in the classes. IF I didn't make it to class, I didn't do as well, even if I tried to make it up by studying extra outside of class.
So, there isn't really an excuse to miss class.
I won't even get into Clevelander's driving abilities...

During the span of 1880-1900 farmers began to feel as if their ways of life were being threatened. Farmers felt that a competition with railroads in monopolies and trusts, currency circulation shortage, and the powerful forces of Mother Nature seemed to be putting them in debt or even out of business. However, not all of the currency circulation shortage complaints could be brought up against the government, monopolies, and trusts. Over production, and bad weather accounted for these problems, which made the farmers complaint's not completely valid. Competition was a major contributing factor to farmer discontent.

Alternative Energy Supplies Must Be Implemented - 1,421 words
The U.S. oil supply is rapidly diminishing. Alternative energy sources must be implemented because oil is a scarce and non-renewable resource. Each year the U.S. consumes 6.2 billion barrels of oil, equivalent to 17 million barrels of oil each day (Coastal 67). The undiscovered U.S. OCS and gas resources combined with onshore reserves would amount to only 81.5 billion barrels of oil, enough to last for 5000 days (Coastal 75). So the oil crisis is not entirely bad news, the U.S. still has time to implement alternative energy sources such as nuclear energy, hydroelectric energy, solar power, wind power, and geothermal energy, as well as alternative fuels which may be used in existing power pla ...

Putting a Face on Unpaid Child Support: Kendra's Story
This article is part of an ongoing Lawyers.com series looking at the child support crisis in America. Other articles in this series include:
- Deadbeat Parents Don't Pay Because There's No Enforcement
- Putting a Face on Unpaid Child Support: Gabrielle's Story
- Federal Government No Help with Unpaid Child Support
Delinquency on child support payments is at an epidemic in the United States. According to the latest comprehensive child support numbers from the US Census Bureau, only 41.2 percent of custodial parents receive the full amount of support owed them by their ex-spouses.
The number of families affected is vast, with 13.7 million custodial parents caring for 22 million children under 21, or more than a quarter of all children throughout the nation. All of those parents should be receiving child support.
Experts pin the blame for the dismal compliance figures on the struggling economy, but even in the best of times, Americans are chronic slackers on their payments. And all too often, parents who try to collect on what is owed them find they have nowhere to turn.
Trying to collect child support from a deadbeat parent can feel like a full-time job. It's particularly time consuming when the deadbeat is determined to avoid paying. And although every state has agencies responsible for pursuing parents who aren't paying child support, the government's help often feels like too little, too late.
"The State [of California] does not want to deal with the issue of child support," says Kendra B., a divorced mom living in Olympia, Wash. with two kids, who estimates her ex-husband has paid only $20,000 of the $90,000 he owes in child support.
"It is up to diligent parents to track down employment and constantly provide it to these government agencies, because children ultimately are not a priority in our system."
Working Under the Table
Kendra says her ex-husband has a pretty predictable pattern: He'll get a job, then quit it a short time later.
In theory, the State of California, which has jurisdiction over the child-support agreement, is supposed to collect part of each paycheck and pass it on to Kendra and her two kids, a seven-year-old girl and five-year-old boy. And although it's the state's responsibility to determine where he's working, that doesn't happen. Instead, each time he gets a new job, Kendra herself has to figure out where he's now working and pass the information on to the California Department of Child Support Services (DCSS). At times she's used a private investigator, but more often she relies on a network of friends who live in the same town as her ex-husband and who keep her apprised of his job situation.
Kendra says her ex-husband, a personal trainer she divorced in May 2007, also admits to working under the table in an effort to avoid paying child support. According to the court order, he's supposed to be paying $498 a month, plus one-half of all medical and child-care expenses. As of January 2012, he owes Kendra more than $70,000. Kendra says he also has at least two other children with other women who are not receiving child support.
Kendra, who owns an insurance brokerage, says the lack of support has forced her to drain her retirement savings. Nor can she afford health insurance for her or her kids.
"My attorney says, 'Don't expect to see a dime of unpaid support,'" Kendra says. "She faithfully reminds me the courts don't really care about outstanding support. So, while I'm owed $70,000 if you count medical care, my ex knows the courts won't address the matter, while heaping more charges in my direction."
Although Kendra's had 80 percent custody since she and her ex-husband split, she says he vindictively takes her to court alleging she's an unfit parent and asking for a change in custody. In the last four years, she's been dragged to court about 15 times and estimates she pays about $50,000 a year in legal fees defending herself.
"As the superior earner, I have been ordered to incur the majority of the legal costs from my attorney, his attorney, counsel for the children and, of course, the evaluator for the past five years," Kendra says. "In November 2011, I was ordered to pay to fly my children to [see their father] one weekend a month, at an additional cost of $12,000 a year."
Failure of Child Support Enforcement Efforts
Imagine you're a California parent whose ex has failed to pay the court-ordered child support. If you visit the California courts website or DCSS, you'd probably be impressed with the enforcement services they offer. You might even believe they'd collect what you're owed.
According to the California courts website:
When a parent is late or fails to pay court ordered support payments, the local child support agency can do one or more of these to collect support:
- Credit reporting: Not paying child support on time can affect a person's credit rating. The local child support agency will report each child support payment to major credit reporting agencies. They also report the failure to pay child support.
- Passport denial: Anytime a person owes more than $2,500 in back child support, the U.S. State Department will not issue or renew a passport until all past-due support payments (also called "arrears") are paid. If your passport application is denied, you will have to make arrangements with the local child support agency to make your child support current before traveling outside the United States. You will also have to make arrangements if your passport needs to be renewed while you are already out of the United States.
- Property liens: The LCSA will file a lien against the real property (like a house or land) of a parent who owes back support. When the property is sold, past-due support may be paid out of the proceeds from the sale.
- Suspending licenses: The LCSA can request that any permanent, state-issued license be suspended or withheld to collect back child support. The State Licensing Match System is used to match parents who owe child support with business, professional, and driver's licenses. These licenses include those for cosmetologists, contractors, doctors, teachers, lawyers, and more.
- Franchise Tax Board Child Support Collection Program: The LCSA must let the Franchise Tax Board know anytime a person is more than $100 and 60 days behind in paying support. The Franchise Tax Board can take funds from bank accounts, rental incomes, royalties, dividends, and commissions. The Franchise Tax Board can also issue an Earnings Withholding Order and take real and personal property, such as vacant land, cash, safe deposit boxes, vehicles, and even boats, to collect child support.
- Income tax intercepts: The Internal Revenue Service and the Franchise Tax Board can also intercept tax refunds to pay back child support.
- Financial Institution Data Match: Many banks, savings and loan institutions, and credit unions in California and the United States report the assets they hold. These assets can be taken for payment of current and back child support.
- Disability Insurance Benefit Intercept System: The LCSA can take part of state disability payments owed to parents who owe child support to pay both current and back child support.
- Unemployment Insurance Benefit Intercept System: Part of state unemployment benefit payments due to the noncustodial parent can be taken to pay both current and back child support.
- Worker's Compensation Appeals Board match system: Lump sum workers' compensation awards can be taken to pay back child support.
- Lottery intercept: Lottery winnings can be taken to pay both current and back child support.
But parents who have dealt with the system say DCSS and the California family law courts are all bark, no bite.
What remedies have DCSS and the California courts used against Kendra's ex-husband? "The courts temporarily suspended his driver's license for non-payment," she says. "I believe the suspension lasts for two days, but as long as he pays even $100 a month, his license will be reinstated." And just once, she says, the state seized his income tax refund to pay for child support.
It's a rough life, says Kendra, echoing the sentiment shared by other parents with deadbeat exes.
"I am trying to raise healthy, happy well-adjusted children," she says. "I pay for them to play soccer, go to the dentist and doctor. We just do our best given this bad situation. But I am being buried by the legal system. I continue to tread water, doing everything I can to protect my innocent children."

World's Greatest Butter Tarts - Kingstonist July, 7th, 2015.

I realized that the warnings were not unfounded when, after the first bite, the butter tart began to ooze with buttery, maple-y goodness. It was definitely the perfect flakey to gooey ratio on this Canadian specialty, and something that I plan to order again many times before summer's end." To view the full story: click here

Sara Imhof, midwest regional director for the Concord Coalition, said the goal of these town hall meetings is not only to facilitate discussion, but to educate.
" Using numbers and facts helps diffuse the partisanship nature of politics," Imhof said. "We give the citizens the facts and the numbers, and let them make decisions for themselves."

I can be unkind and thoughtless to my feet. Regardless of the season, I really don't like wearing sock or shoes if I can get away with it. I'll go barefoot in all weather conditions, even snow without giving it much thought. The consequences are that I now have to deal with dry, itchy, cracked, calloused and unattractive feet. I've sought relief with some lotions, but they're not made specifically for foot issues, so they don't really deliver any noticeable results.
With summer approaching, I want to get my feet healthier, happier, and prettier. I'm always on the hunt for an effective product that's been designed explicitly for over stressed and neglected feet. I was recently introduced Footlogix Medical, and after reading about its benefits and seeing the before and after results, I felt it would help my feet.
- heal cracked and dry skin
- absorbs immediately
- allows skin to breathe
- increase skin elasticity
- infuses essential moisture
- gently, naturally exfoliates
Are you tired of dry, cracked and painful heels? Healing your painful, dry and cracked heels isn't just about keeping your feet beautiful, but about treating the pain and annoying itchiness that comes from these skin conditions!
The reason Footlogix Medical works is simple: it's formulated to carry the active pharmaceutical ingredients right into the layers of the epidermis, reaching the targeted areas of the foot and bringing relief right where you need it. Its hygienic applicator system is sealed to prevent air from entering the container; so, as your damaged skin is repaired, it is also protected from infection.
Dealing with itchy and dry skin can be exasperating, but, Footlogix Medical made a significant difference. With just one application, you'll feel and see a noticeable difference. The mousse will absorb very quickly leaving your feet feeling soft and smooth. It also means you don't have to sit around; you can just apply and go!
It's been a week since I started using Footlogix Medical and I can't believe how much better my feet feel and look. The skin between my toes use to itch, flake and peel and I confess I didn't the help the situation by pulling away the loose skin until it bled. Remarkably this cleared up quickly with some attention and a few daily applications of Footlogix Medical. The deep moisturizing qualities of the mousse has left the cracked and rough skin on my heels silky and supple. The burning sensation on my arches has also disappeared. I've finally found a product that walks the walk, and provides noticeable results. I feel like I've got control over my skin and can maintain my foot health with daily use. I like the way my feet look now and I'm no longer embarrassed to wear sandals.
It's recommended you apply the mousse twice daily for for the first two weeks, then daily for optimal results. It's also important to mention that Footlogix Medical is gentle and safe enough for diabetics to use, most lotions cannot claim this.

Airforce soldier. (The base is 5mins of my house and has the most workers in this town xD)
Farmer ...

I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.
Current city...prostitute or oilfield.
I should have been a prostitute. Better hours, better pay :/
I get money from SSDI / SSI. I don't have a profession. However, my main skill is writing fictional stories, so I guess that would be it.

I'd be making cars and tractors.
Were not accepting any more applications for farmers at this time.
All hopefuls, get on the death bus.

Is it that our profession would be the the primary industry of our city? Or that the primary industry of my city would be my profession?
Anyways, Farmer/Rancher. It's nothing but farms and ranches for miles and miles. You have to go about 30 minutes either way (That's going 70MPH+) to get to anything that is larger than a small town that is made up of 80% farmers.
Although, I'd probably end up homeless.

Collectable Porcelain Figurines
Early in the 18th century, August the Strong, Elector of Sachsen commissioned sculptors from Meissen (Germany), to make porcelain figurines for his palace. In the years that followed, production techniques rapidly improved; porcelain factories across Europe catered to the craze among the well-heeled for these expensive objets d¿art. Porcelain factory towns like Dresden and Sèvres are famous even today. By the late 18th century, with thousands of factories engaged in the business, the middle classes could afford figurines as well; artistic standards however, had declined. Fake figurines, typically in Baroque and Rococo styles flooded the market, falsely marked with the names of old, prestigious manufacturers.
Why are figurines highly collectable?
Also, a figurine belonging to a theme becomes a valued collectable. For instance, a figurine wearing a gown from a particular historical period would be much sought after by collectors interested in that era, who would be willing to make a substantial offer.
