Our History
Agate Beach Motel was built in 1940 and has kept the original footprint of 2 buildings encompassing a large lawn overlooking miles of pristine beach. Our two buildings include covered and drive-in parking. In the same way as it does today, the parking provided at single-level motels, such as Agate Beach Motel, provided travelers with a sense of safety and ease knowing their cars were nearby. The qualities of the historical layout and ease of use continue to be important to many of today's travelers as well, and we are pleased to be able to offer the restored convenience and beauty of motor lodges to our 21st-century guests.
Storytelling is a year-round art here at Agate Beach Motel, and we are pleased to be able to share a few of those here in writing. We invite you to sit around the fire, gather on the sun decks, or cuddle in your blankets as you listen and tell your own.
The restoration of buildings
With so much history and joy found in this location, it is no wonder we felt fortunate to own Agate Beach Motel; however, when we bought it in 1990, it was non-rentable. There is no doubt many others may have chosen to tear it down and build condominiums or another hotel. All of the carpet and sub floors required replacing, the roof needed fixing and the constant exposure to the extreme elements of wind, sun, and rain meant an unending need for repair and financial investment. With this in mind, the conversation between, "let's just sell it" and "let's restore it" became more common. Nonetheless, after a few more sunsets and time spent experiencing the rugged beauty here, our vision of restoration prevailed.
It took one year of driving over the mountains from Bend, Oregon with our two daughters, ages 6 and 8 at time, and a lot of hard work to get it to being rentable. The girls worked and played alongside us as we pulled the carpet, nailed in new beams, painted the suites, reroofed, and updated the electrical and plumbing.
During the next few years, the renovations began to take place primarily during the fall and winter months, though we would often come over as a family to live here for weeks at a time. The memories of working while a storm was approaching remain indescribable. So too, the times of seeing whales spout along the shore during the fall migration. Birds of all kinds came to visit on their way south, and after a day's hard work, we would bundle up by the fire and appreciate what we had accomplished.
Originally, the stairs down to Agate Beach were not much different from many others that can still be seen today…straight down. By the time we got to the point of deciding to build a new staircase, we were familiar with the difficulties of building in the intense natural elements. Through the wind, sun, and rain, the crew literally hung from the cliff while pounding the foundation beams deep into the Cliffside. However, no matter how difficult the day was, we would often look up and find other crewmembers taking a moment to enjoy the view, catch a ray of sunshine, or simply feel the fresh air blowing. Eventually, we decided to build the platforms. Maybe they really were the plan all along or maybe they were built for the crew to have a spot to rest, either way, the platforms became known for being a perfect spot to take a rest, enjoy the view, or steal a kiss.
Over the years, we have not stopped pouring our hearts into this place. Even though the motel now stays busy year-round, we continued to update the rooms, decks, and property as needed. Pat enjoys building unique tables, cabinets, and headboards for the rooms out of his special wood collection, and I enjoy decorating and keeping the kitchens fully stocked, the blankets cozy and warm, and the beds comfortable and clean.
The restoration of service
Hospitality is another key aspect of the historical motels that we have kept as a priority. Our first manager, Maynard and his wife Donna managed the motel for 16 years, and in that time, they built a reputation of their own here. Expressing a style straight out of the 60's era with polyester blue high-waisted pants and combed-back hair, Maynard not only took incredible care of the property, he also became a guest favorite. His friendship and oddities were both comforting and entertaining. Donna was generous and kind and complimented Maynard's friendly style. Our current managers, Dave and Maggie continue to exhibit a hospitable spirit with joyful hearts and gratitude of being able to live in such an incredible spot year-round. They love to share their own stories about Agate Beach Motel and are pleased to let travelers know about local places to visit, food to eat, and trails to take.
Just north of Agate Beach Motel lies the famous Bloch house, once home to honored composer Ernest Bloch (1880-1959). Local stories speak of visits to Bloch by his friend, contemporary, and admirer, Albert Einstein. Some say one can still see an engraving by Einstein's hand on the walls of the Bloch House. A local conservation group continues to promote and care for the home and guests often enjoy a visit to the house when they are here.
The restoration of romance
Nothing is mundane about this place. The entire motel is filled with the beauty of the natural world we live in, and the distractions of daily life are a world away.
Historically, surfing started along the Oregon Coast at Agate Beach in 1964 and has since served as a sacred ground for surfers for many generations. At that time, the beach was 3 miles outside of town and locals chose the beach for its protective cove. Since then, surfers continue to come to the beach and can be seen riding the waves year-round.
Additionally, guests have encountered more than a rose on the pillow at Agate Beach Motel. They have experienced romance, connection, and affection. The water tides have pulled at many hearts and the stars, moon, and rhythmic movements of the outdoors have affectionately tugged at their souls. Many spouses have fallen in love again as they held hands, slept in, and walked the beaches together.
Lovers of literature have been coming to Agate Beach Motel over the years to be filled with inspiration from the wind and waves, so they can overflow with a refreshed creative vibe and passion. Musicians have met here year after year to jam around the fire ring and let others dance the night away. Cooks and connoisseurs love the winter months as they gather together to create satisfying dishes and partake in the beautiful combination of a warm kitchen during a winter storm.
You're part of our history
There is no doubt the hard work that first year has been worth it. Our daughters are now grown, and we continue to make trips over the mountain on a regular basis. The wonderful memories continue to grow as do our relationships with one another. We will often visit with guests on their porches as they enjoy a glass of wine and talk of the many tales we have from our times here at Agate Beach Motel. We have come to know many guests well due to their regular visits and we value the opportunity to meet new ones. We love this place and consider it a piece of heaven.

Book Talk: Lionel Shriver finds illness can bring out the worst
By Belinda Goldsmith
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - When author Lionel Shriver took on the topic of illness and relationships in her latest novel, she had no idea that the reaction would give her a new insight into human nature -- and not necessarily a positive one.
In her latest and 10th novel, "So Much Tor That," Shriver focuses on the devastating effect of illness on relationships, how friends and family often flee rather than face the patient.
Shriver, who won the 2005 Orange Prize for her eighth novel "We Need to Talk About Kevin," said the death of a close friend, Terri, led to the book with the main character in the novel, Glynis, suffering the same cancer, mesothelioma, as her friend.
Shriver, 52, an American who currently lives in London, spoke to Reuters while in Australia for the Sydney Writers' Festival:
Q: How has the reaction to your novel surprised you?
A: "Part of the revelation about this novel has been post-publication. I have found it disheartening to find that this business of people making themselves scarce when someone gets sick is horrifically widespread. I would theorize that this tendency is worse now than it used to be. I can't say for sure but my impression is that we are less comfortable than we used to be with illness and mortality."
Q: Why do you think that is so?
A: "We don't see death as people die in hospital. They used to die at home. They used to die younger so children grew up watching their grandparents die. I am not a sociologist but I know death has become strange. This is especially intense in the United States where all this money is spent on heath care and there is a vague impression that you can buy yourself out of death." Continued...

I use my light for my computer. It sits right beside my monitor. I can turn it on and it will shine on my keyboard while I am typing. It would also be great if the lights went out, because it is light weight and you can carry it around with you. Also, if you are looking at small print it is great for that the light is so bright and it runs by batteries. Be a great gift.

Fans of Celebrity Big Brother will no doubt recall that volatile former housemate Jasmine Lennard – despite being slapped with a gagging order – discussed her failed relationship with X Factor boss Simon Cowell during her time in the house last year.
Jasmine, who has Simon's initials tattooed on her wrist, also stated that she's confident that one day, she and Simon could reunite.
And in a moment of déjà vu, Paula Hamilton, who also had a relationship with Simon, has told her fellow CBB housemates, "I was in love with him."
Apparently, Paula reckons that she lost her virginity to Simon when she was 16 years old and that he soon became the love of her life…
Speaking about Simon before she went into the house, 54 year old Paula said, "When I first knew Simon he was good-looking and extremely charming.
"I loved him, of course.
"He is still just a lovely and sweet guy."
The Daily Star adds, "Paula met Simon, inset, when they attended the Licensed Victuallers' School in Slough, Berkshire. She recalled how he defended her in lessons."
She said, "The teachers would take the p**s out of me for being dyslexic and because I couldn't remember things.
"Simon would say 'Sir, why are you being so obnoxious to Hamilton?'
"It was powerful at the time and it didn't happen again."
She continued, "He can just be a confirmed bachelor. But if he is going to marry anyone he is going to marry me.
"He will probably get around to it when I'm old and toothless."
A bitchier person may say that she's halfway there on both counts, but not I…
However, also during the interview, Paula revealed that she's arranged a secret "signal" to alert the show's producers if things get too much and she has a panic attack.
She said, "I have always had panic attacks and knowing they can happen in the house is scary."
It's believed that Paula was diagnosed as having had a panic attack on the first night of the show, following which she was moved to the Main House.
Here's a reminder of Paula at the height of her career in the 80s…

How low can you go? That's the big question in the tire-making industry, where profile sizes keep getting lower and lower. Sooner or later they're going to be spraying layers of rubber on a wheel with a pocket of air injected underneath. But in the meantime, Kumho has upped the ante (or lowered it, as the case may be) with its new 15 series tires, the lowest profile rubber on the market.
Wait, who? Okay, Kumho may not be as well known as Goodyear or Pirelli, but they've got an established history of innovation in tire technology – to varying degrees of usefulness – like scented, colored smoke and X-rated rubber. And while those may sound more like the stock list for the local "intimate apparel" store, it's things like that which have put Kumho on the map. The tires are being initially offered as upgrades for supercars like the Ferrari F430, Dodge Viper and Corvette Z06, and offer partial run-flat capability. Check out the press release after the jump and the images in the gallery below for more.

That serves him right.
Apartment complex Ninja. He'll probably sue her. It is Ca after all.
Awesome, good for her. He is lucky he wasn't shot.
I would hate to be beat up by a girl. Although it sounds like she could.
This kid is lucky it was Cali and nobody was home when he broke in,had it been in a state with Castle Doctrine the drunk could have been shot,it wouldn't be the first time
He still could have been shot, disparity of force.
I think she has already earned it.Quote:
Ramirez has a yellow belt -- a step above beginner -- and expects to be promoted to orange belt next month at during a competition in Fresno.
Quote from karate student;
"I had to protect my mom and protect myself and get this intruder out of my house," she said. "He sort of did deserve it. If he hadn't broken into my house, it wouldn't have happened."
If/when she has children, she's going to be an awesome mom someday, and be the answer to some lucky guys prayers.
Quite the level headed, pragmatic young lass.

As i promised, here is a product review for you guys! This time, we're talking about the new Revelon just bitten kissable balm stains. i purchased them two weeks ago, i didn't want to do a review right away. Now i have use them daily for a quite a while, i decided to tell you how i feel about them!
They are not exactly like the lip butters as some of you may wonder. These balm stains are very very moisturizing it is more creamy than the lip butters. When i apply the Lip butters on my lips, there is a greecy and plastic-y feeling to it, not exactly moisturizing as it claimed. But the Balm stains are not like that, they are truly moisturizing i even put them on before i go to bed. So the colors that i have are 001 Honey Douce and 035 Charm Charme. Honey Douce is like a fushia toned pink with a hint of blue toned shimmers in it. It is definitely a cool toned pink but when you apply it on your lips it looks very natural. It is almost the same color as my lips but more pinky and pigmented.
Charm Charme is more a orange- toned creamsicle color. I would definitely say it counts as a nude color. I personally love this one because i love nude lips. However if you are worried that it may wash you out, it wont! because it is sheer enough for you natural lips to show so it does make you look dead and washed out instead, it gives a nice nude tint to your lips and it makes you look healthier!
After all, i really really enjoy them. i will definitely buy more colors! Also, they smell delicious as well! they have a minty, fruity scent and they all smell differently! i love lip products that have yummy scents! I love these and i recommend you try it out at least! if you only want to try it out and see if you like it, i recommend getting HONEY DOUCE because it is very wearable! if you like nude or neutral lips then maybe choose Charm Charme! but honey douce is more versatile and natural! I also love using Honey Douce as a base for my other nude lipsticks to add a pinky color under so it makes the nude lipstick more pinky-er and healtheir looking!
i hope you found this review helpful! please follow if you like and feel free to comment down below any thoughts, suggestions, questions and requests!

Tumult in Egypt antiquities as Hawass swept aside
By Patrick Werr
CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt is struggling to find a replacement to run its antiquities ministry after the flamboyant Zahi Hawass, easily recognised by his Indiana Jones-style hat, was swept aside in a cabinet reshuffle to eject the old guard.
Hawass regularly appeared on international television, often with his feet covered in dust at the site of a dig, explaining the latest of Egypt's myriad Pharaonic ruins to be revealed.
His initial replacement, Abdel-Fattah al-Banna, came under fire for lacking archaeology credentials for the post. Appointed by Prime Minister Essam Sharaf on Sunday, he quit a day later.
Hawass had also drawn criticism at home, although he became a celebrity abroad with his documentary appearances, describing finds from various pharaonic dynasties or campaigning for the return of treasures he said had been smuggled overseas.
Archaeologists working in Egypt said Hawass had a domineering style and often took credit for work uncovered by others. He also angered those who worked under him.
One witness said he was mobbed by angry employees on Sunday as he left his office for the last time, part of a reshuffle demanded by protesters camped out in central Cairo who are disappointed with the pace of change since Hosni Mubarak was toppled in February.
"Thief, thief," crowds yelled at him, according to a video on the website of el-Youm el-Sabaa newspaper.
One official at the antiquities department said many people in the crowd were angry that Hawass had not fulfilled a promise to give workers on contract staff jobs by mid-July. Continued...

The Latest Conservative Idiocy: Republicans Would Rather Fight Each Other than Obama
posted at 5:11 pm on September 17, 2010 by Michael van der Galien
It's fascinating to see the civil war that broke out recently among Republicans. The Tea Party movement took on moderate Republican candidates (for Congress and the Senate) they declared 'RINO's' (because they were moderate in their social, and often also in their fiscal views), while the Grand Old Party's establishment fought back by labeling Tea Party activists naive radicals who don't understand that you sometimes have to settle for a moderate candidate if you want to win in the general elections.
Even politicos, Republican strategists and influential pundits are involved in this fight. Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin represents the Tea Partiers, who prefer losing an election with a 'real conservative' candidate, than winning one with a moderate. The other side is led by people such as the Architect (of George W. Bush's electoral victories) Karl Rove and (until recently perhaps the most influential and respected conservative columnist) Charles Krauthammer.
Whomever is right is of little concern to me – in this post at least. To me, it's far more important to point out that it seems a bit counterproductive for conservatives to have a go at each other, while their country is being burned down by the progressives, led by Obama, who took over Washington back in 2008. They apparently would rather waste their energies destroying each other than the ones who are doing their best to "radically transform" America into something you and I won't recognize. It might just be me, but this seems a tad bit counterproductive and even downright silly. If it were me, I'd probably want to focus on beating the real enemy – 'liberals.' Not on taking down my political friends.

PAMF Donates $200K to Local Healthy Kids Program
Nearly 200 local children in need will receive medical, dental, vision and mental health benefits thanks to a $200,000 grant from the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) to the Healthy Kids program of Santa Clara Family Health Foundation.
PAMF Regional President Lizz Vilardo, M.D., presented the check to Kathleen King, executive director of Santa Clara Family Health Foundation. "This gift will fund health insurance for 194 children who otherwise would not receive appropriate health care," said Dr. Vilardo. "For years, state budget cuts have negatively impacted county health programs and have reinforced the importance of philanthropic support. This gift reinforces PAMF's long-time commitment to keeping children and their families healthy."
"Healthy Kids fills the crucial gap in insurance and health care access for many low- and moderate-income families who can't insure their children because they lack access to employer-sponsored insurance or are not eligible for public coverage via Medi-Cal and Healthy Families," King explained. "In Santa Clara County, those families can enroll their children in Healthy Kids. We believe one uninsured child in our county is one too many."
PAMF's donation, combined with a gift from the El Camino Hospital District, will enable all under- and un-insured children in Mountain View to receive essential health care coverage this year. As an expression of appreciation, at the most recent City Council meeting Mountain View Mayor Mike Kasperzak proclaimed Wednesday, October 23, 2012, "El Camino Hospital District and Palo Alto Medical Foundation Day."
Launched in 2001, the locally funded Healthy Kids health insurance program increases access to and use of both medical and dental care, which are crucial contributors to children's overall well-being and health.
"The physicians and professionals of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation recognize this need and we are committed to helping children in the communities we serve," said Dr. Vilardo. "The work that the Santa Clara Family Health Foundation does to help the neediest of our county's children is constant and critical."
About Santa Clara Family Health Foundation
Santa Clara Family Health Foundation (SCFHF) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization whose focus is on raising funds to support the Healthy Kids program and the Children's Health Initiative in Santa Clara County. Through the Foundation, community leaders, community members, foundations, corporations, local businesses, friends, and other supporters can contribute funds to help achieve the goal of providing every child in Santa Clara County with access to quality health care through insurance.

PAMF, Safeway Partner to Combat Childhood Obesity
The rise of childhood obesity is a huge concern but what can be done about it? Palo Alto Medical Foundation health educator Nancy Brown, Ph.D., has some concrete ideas and these recently became a reality thanks to a grant from the Safeway Foundation.
The $60,418 grant will be used to fund PAMF's WAY2GO! Preteen Family project that educates preteens and their families about the importance of making good food choices and maintaining a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI).
"WAY2GO! Preteen Family focuses on children aged 9 to 12 years old as this is a critical time for establishing good nutrition and exercise habits for life," says Brown who is leading the WAY2GO! Preteen Family project. "This is also very much a family-based program as for this age group the parents still control the whole families' health habits. This valuable tool will make it easier and more fun for families to make lasting behavior changes."
Brown worked together with Martha Simmons, M.D., Ph.D., a content manager at PAMF's David Druker Center for Health Systems Innovation, to obtain the Safeway Foundation grant. Elizabeth W. Lee, M.D., a family medicine doctor at PAMF's Palo Alto Center, provided a medical review of the WAY2GO! Preteen Family online tool.
Schools and community-based organizations can participate in this project that provides many components to help get the whole family on track to good health:
- WAY2GO! Preteen Family Tool: Participating families take an online health assessment. They then receive a report based on their answers and access to their online dashboard where they can set health goals or track behavior.
- Free Preventive Health Screening: Up to eight members of each participating family are screened at a local Safeway pharmacy for preventive health goals, BMI and blood pressure. The screening helps families prioritize health goals and provides resources, including information on low-cost clinics for families without health insurance.
- Follow Up: Before the end of the school year, families will be encouraged to repeat their online WAY2GO! assessment and share their experiences about participating in the program.
- Data for Schools: Each participating school receives aggregate data (gathered through the WAY2GO! tool) about the health challenges of their participants and suggestions for meeting those challenges (for example, through parent education or bike helmet safety campaigns).
The first school to participate in the project is Landels Elementary School in Mountain View, Calif., with many other local schools slated to participate soon.
More About WAY2GO!
The online WAY2GO! Preteen Family tool is based on the teen version of the program that is free for schools and doctors' offices to use to assess teenagers' health and motivate healthy decision making. WAY2GO! for teens won the 2011 Society for Adolescent Health Care and Medicine's Hilary E. C. Millar Award for Innovative Approaches to Adolescent Health Care and is being used by more than 400 teenagers through doctors' offices and high schools in the U.S. There's also a version of the online tool for young adults (18 to 25 years old).
More About the Safeway Foundation's Grant to PAMF
The grant for the WAY2GO! Preteen Family project is part of $2 million in grants that the Safeway Foundation is giving back to community health programs and hospitals to launch grass-roots projects for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity in the Bay Area and across the United States.
Aging, Social Isolation of Seniors Discussed with Danish Leaders
As generations age, how do different countries and cultures plan and provide for them? Information and ideas about senior support and preventing social isolation spanned the Atlantic when a group of 12 health care leaders from Denmark spent the afternoon at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation's Druker Center for Health Systems Innovation on October 10, 2012.
Danish and American physicians, executives and directors from large health systems, government, universities, senior centers, hospitals and hospices joined for the four-hour exchange at the Innovation Center. The goal of the visit was to share knowledge of and opinions about the diverse challenges of aging populations in Denmark and the United States. From the many dynamic conversations underway at any given time, it appeared that that goal was met or exceeded.
Paul Tang, M.D., vice president and chief innovation and technology officer for PAMF's Innovation Center presented on the health care system in the United States, including the changes required to adapt for the Affordable Care Act of 2010 and accommodate the needs of the enormous and growing aging population.
"Already about 13 percent of the U.S. population are seniors, the vast majority of whom are covered by Medicare," Dr. Tang said. "The U.S. faces several challenges somewhat unique in the world: a fee-for-service care delivery model, the lack of universal health care, and health information systems that are not connected or, in some places, nonexistent."
"In Denmark, 16 percent of our people are 65 or older," explained Mikkel Bülow Skovborg, Research Attaché, Danish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education, outlined the health care system and focus on care for the elderly in Denmark. "We have a highly structured and well-funded system to provide long-term care at home for our elders. We haven't built a nursing home in our country since 1987."
Comparing Senior Support in the United States and Denmark
In Denmark, a high percentage of the gross domestic product is spent on social services and a lower percentage on health care. All health care policies are set on a national level but are implementing regionally via hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers and other health service centers. The municipal level tends to home care and preventive care services. Because of this comprehensive system, people rarely if ever "fall through the cracks." There is a continuum of care with coordinated services.
Danish seniors have access to a wide range of services provided at the local, regional and national level, by people whose specific job it is to care for the elderly and support their ability to live in the community. A number of meeting attendees, however, observed that the high-level benefits, free at the point of delivery, may create a level of dependence on the system that enables families to "check-out" of their important caregiver roles. This relates particularly to their role in providing emotional support, the absence of which may contribute to isolation.
By contrast, the United States spends a low percentage of its gross domestic product on social services and a high percentage is spent on health care. The burden of care is on the family, not the government – basically, a private sector approach in which every person or family must research available options. The system is more fragmented, with some communities and cultures more adapted to solutions for elder care than others.
The attendees were divided into several groups, each of which discussed a different query and then reported out to the entire group at the end of the afternoon. Lively, engaging discussions covered these questions:
- What are the drivers of isolation?
- How does isolation impact aging?
- Who has the responsibility for tackling social isolation of seniors?
- What solutions to social isolation are being implemented?
- What are your "dream" solutions?
The discussions yielded a variety of perspectives and suggestions for the need to:
- Reduce health care and senior care costs. For example, in the United Stages, five percent of the people use 50 percent of the care.
- Reduce hospitalizations through overall improved health
- Become more community-centered, with more multigenerational composition, and nurture the spirit of volunteerism
- Improve transportation systems that effectively alleviate isolation, and use IT systems that support natural human interfaces
- Focus on seniors as people, not patients
- Embrace and support advanced care planning, beginning at an earlier age
"Seniors seek to maintain their independence and to live out their lives in the community," Dr. Tang said. "We are committed to keep the dialog about successful aging going."

Danish Leaders to Visit PAMF's Druker Center for Innovation
Contingent to Explore Successful Aging Ideas
On Wednesday, October 10, 2012, from noon to 5 p.m., the Palo Alto Medical Foundation's Druker Center for Health Systems Innovation is hosting a delegation of 15 leaders from Denmark who work in diverse capacities to address current challenges in health care, particularly with issues relevant to aging. Attendees include C-level executives and directors from large health systems, universities and private corporations in Denmark.
The focus of the visit is to exchange information and knowledge around challenges related to aging, from the diverse perspectives and approaches of Denmark and the United States.
The population of Denmark is 5.5 million, comparable to the San Francisco Bay Area's more than six million residents (Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties). Life expectancy for women is 81 years and men 77 years. According to the United States Census Bureau, American life expectancy is only slightly lower: women averaging 80 years and men 75 years.
"We feel that advancing cross-cultural leadership engagement in exchanges of shared knowledge will allow us to broaden the scope of our thinking as we work to address the needs of our fast growing and increasingly vulnerable, older adult population," said Paul Tang, M.D., vice president and chief innovation and technology officer for PAMF's Innovation Center.
The event has the endorsement of Liz Kniss, Chair of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. Scott Strickland, Kniss' Senior Policy Analyst, will kick off the event with a welcome on her behalf.
After a meet-and-greet lunch, there will be a presentation by Mikkel Bülow Skovborg, Research Attaché, Danish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education, who will outline the health care system and focus on care for the elderly in Denmark.
Addressing elder care and aging in the United States will be PAMF's Paul Tang, M.D, and Albert Chan, M.D., PAMF chief medical information officer, and medical director for the Innovation Center.
The speakers will introduce issues and potential solutions to social isolation among seniors, and then the group will break into teams for a series of workshops, culminating in a panel discussion to share the different perspectives.
Guests for this special gathering also include leaders from the public sector, other hospital systems, senior centers, foundations and nonprofits.

Pathways Home Health & Hospice Honors PAMF's Dr. Kushlan
For more than three decades, Paula Kushlan, M.D., has provided cancer care at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation's Palo Alto Center. She regularly receives warm expressions of gratitude from her patients and on October 5, 2012, she was honored by Pathways Home Health & Hospice for her years of dedication and service to the home health and hospice community.
Dr. Kushlan received a special 35th Anniversary Physician Award. The award recognizes physicians who significantly contribute to promoting the Pathways Mission: compassionate, family-centered care in a patient's home.
"Hospice nurses are my feet, eyes and ears in the patient's house," Dr. Kushlan said. An oncologist for 35 years, Dr. Kushlan describes her career guiding people through the diagnosis of cancer as "a passion and a privilege." She considers it an "honor."
"Pathways has partnered with Paula to care for hundreds of patients through the decades of her career," said Sandra Coolidge, Pathways' vice president of admissions, community relations & philanthropy. "Dr. Kushlan has always been a strong advocate for her patients' right to dignified and compassionate care in the face of serious illness."
Pathways CEO Barbara Burgess, said, "Dr. Paula Kushlan embraces the honor of helping people through a difficult and frightening part of their lives, whether it is a curable disease requiring complex therapy, a controllable chronic disease involving ongoing monitoring and therapy, or a life-limiting illness necessitating efforts directed at comfort and support for patient and family."
In addition to Dr. Kushlan, other "One from the Heart" award recipients this year were Doreta Strotman (Volunteer Award) and the Los Altos United Methodist Church (Organization Award).
Pathways' 22nd annual breakfast was held at the Crowne Plaza Cabana Hotel in Palo Alto. The annual event attracts more than 600 community leaders, medical professionals, philanthropists and other hospice supporters, and is also open to the public.
Pathways Home Health & Hospice is a community based, not-for-profit organization that provides a family of health services at home to families in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1977, a comprehensive array of health and supportive services including home health and hospice care, private duty non-medical and personal care, elder care, care for children with life-threatening illnesses, grief support and community education.

Is it bad that it's only been about three weeks into the school year, and I'm already tired? Seriously, though. It's been three weeks, I'm only taking 13 credits, I'm NOT taking a studio course, but regardless of all those factors, I'm just pooped. I've never taken only 4 classes in a semester before, but somehow, I feel like I've been assigned more reading than ever in my last three years at Columbia. It's not even a joke. I spend whatever time I'm not in class either scanning books in the library (because I REFUSE to spend any more money on books or supplies. I'm so over spending absurd amounts of money on books that I'm going to use only a handful of times in a semester), or trying to plow through all the reading I have to do. Sigh. Did I really think taking two seminars at once would be a good idea? Silly me.
All this crazy amount of reading has me staying up late at night, and since I refuse to let homework/lack of sleep interfere with my workout schedule, I've had to get rid of nap-time, so I guess that's also factoring into my chronic state of drowsiness. But whatever, there's no time to complain about lost hours of sleep or the pile of reading on my desk that seems to be growing at an exponential rate as the days go by. I came home for the weekend, so that I could bake up some yummy fall-inspired goodies, and had to pack along a folder stuffed with readings for my architecture criticism seminar (which is actually amazing, so I don't reeaallyyyyy mind the readings too much), and readings for my class on 18th century cities (these are the annoying ones...). Oh well! I might not have time to do very much other than read and follow my baking schedule this weekend, but I do have time to talk about cake. Dulce de leche cake, to be exact. There's ALWAYS time to talk about dulce de leche and cake, especially when they get put together!
I love a good bundt cake. There's just something about bundt cakes that seems so effortless, making them the perfect cake to whip up on a lazy afternoon to have with some coffee or for breakfast the next morning. Bundt cakes are an everyday kinda cake, and these are the best kinds of cake. Don't get me wrong, I loveeee a beautifully decorated chocolate triple-layer cake, or a cake when it's covered in fancy fondant and decorated with tiny sugar decorations, but I will gladly pass on either of those for a slice of a simple bundt cake (ok, so a chocolate layer cake with chocolate frosting might be really hard for me to pass up, but given that I'm not a frosting person, I would probably still pick the bundt). Everyday cakes like these are satisfying and comforting, and when they're filled with dulce de leche, another favorite of mine, then that is definitely a winning combination!
This dulce de leche bundt was a perfect representation of what a bundt cake should be. It was simple to put together, came out of the pan in a second (the key is to grease AND flour your pan really well!), and was of course, delicious. The cake batter itself has yummy dulce de leche mixed right in, and has a ribbon of dulce de leche around the center of the cake that makes for a lovely bit of extra caramel-y goodness when you get to the center of your slice. The cake is unbelievably fluffy; I honestly wasn't expecting it to be as fluffy as it was, but it was a great surprise! Not overly-sweet, and perfectly fluffy and full of delicious dulce de leche flavor, this easy bundt is the cake to make when you need an afternoon of lazy baking. Enjoy!
Dulce de Leche Bundt Cake
slightly adapted from Food Librarian
1 1/2 cups dulce de leche, divided
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
4 eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and position an oven rack in the middle of the oven. With nonstick-cooking spray, lightly spray and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and set aside. In the bowl of a standard electric mixer, combine the butter and brown sugar, and cream until light and fluffy. Once creamed together, add 1 cup of dulce de leche. Mix well, until all the ingredients are combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture, making sure to begin and end with the flour mixture. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula every now and then, and mix only until just combined!
Add about 3/4 of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Add the remaining 1/2 cup dulce de leche in a ring around the center of the pan. Evenly distribute the remaining cake batter in the pan, and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 50-55 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before carefully inverting onto a wire rack, and allow to cool completely. Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar, and serve. Enjoy!

Appeal for mystery creek boy
Page Tools
Police believe a teenager who may have fallen into a flooded creek during Melbourne's devastating storms may be too embarrassed to come forward.
The case has baffled police since they received a report that a teenage boy had fallen into floodwater underneath the Skeleton Creek bridge near Werribee on February 3.
A woman who had been taking photographs of the flooded creek told police she saw the teenager struggle in the water before he disappeared.
Local police, search and rescue divers and the police airwing conducted an extensive search of the area but found no trace of the boy.
There was also an unconfirmed report that a teenage boy was seen emerging from the water downstream at Old Geelong Road.
But the search was called off when police said no-one had been reported missing in the area.
Victoria Police spokeswoman Cathy Echoed today said they would still like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident, but in particular the boy involved.
She said police believed the boy involved may be too embarrassed to come forward, and they wanted to reassure him he would not face charges.
"We just need to speak to him to clarify what happened and to make sure he's okay," said Ms Echoed.

Across the Line of Control, fresh firing has been reported from eight posts, and even as India tried to de-escalate the tension, the Pakistan foreign office on Friday summoned the Indian envoy, issuing him a demarche over the killing of a Pakistani soldier in incidents of firing on Thursday evening.
India, however, blamed Pakistan for the aggression. MEA spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said, "The Indian envoy said there was unprovoked firing from the Pakistan side in Mendhar sector and that there was controlled response from the Indian side."
By Friday evening, the Army was responding to fresh Pakistani fire, but it didn't get a response to its request for a flag meeting of brigade commanders in Mendhar. For now, neither side is accepting the responsibility for the intermittent but heavy firing on the LoC through the week and they haven't agreed on how to resolve the mini-crisis.
While Pakistan again asked for a UN probe into the ceasefire violations, India again rejected it.
On the positive side, India expects trade and bus service at Poonch to resume next week. Trade and travel is uninterrupted at Wagah and Uri, and both governments have said that they remain committed to the peace process.
A week of ceasefire violations has left four soldiers dead - two each on both sides. Despite both governments speaking the language of restraint, tensions are not abating, which is why there is real concern in government quarters in New Delhi about a slide in bilateral ties, which the government wants to stem at the earliest.

Hi all
Ok.. here is my little problem.. I've been working at this over and over and it doesn't work.. except for once when it did and I was doing exactly the same thing.. so I can't figure it out.
I have joints:
I want to rotate in Z joint 1 and joint 2 and 3 to lag behind by 4 frames and 10 frames respectivelly (of joint 1)
I created a frameCache node connected the joint1.rz to the Stream and the connected the past[4] of the frameCache to the joint2.rz and same with past[10] to joint3.rz
And it doesn't work!! :(
It's not copying the values across.... it keeps them between 0 and 1..
I also found that when I try to animate joint1.rz (after I connected everything) it doesn't let me move it.. it wants to go back to 0..
Any ideas?
Oh.. the only time when it did work.. when I moved the function curves around, then everything went crazy again :(

eBay parts: whats good, whats acceptable, and what to avoid
Hey festers! So whilst chatting in the chamber of OT last night I had this idea, the idea of making a thread where anyone whos bought ebay parts for their E36 can write up a small review on its quality and the likes. Its just like consumer reports, for bimmers. Simple criteria is what it is, a picture or two, price, a link if possible, and of course what you think of it. I'll start.
I bought an ebay radiator as you all know. Well, keeping it short and sweet, it hasnt let me down and, for 145 shipped, I'd definitely buy it again. It came with a 14" aux fan, which doesnt really have much going for it, but I used it in my FDM. All aluminum construction means no more plastic to break, which is what made me lean towards this over a Behr OEM one. Heres a few pics
Fat welds around everything
*brackets not included;)
Hopefully this one works. This could save many festers' tails in the future :thumbup:
Emblems are fail, but the 80 fan blower is win :)
DDM style m3 front bumper
Corner lights
Metal bleed screw
El Cheapo intake
Headlight bulbs
Thats all I can remember right now..
I like this idea, many think all Ebay parts are junk, just as many people think all Ebay parts are great.
From ebay I have ordered:
Foot pedals-great
F1 Stage II Clutch package-superb
All sorts of gauges, aftermarket, and the cluster-great
Fog lights-great
I'll be ordering an ebay brand of seats sometime soon, I'll let everyone know the quality of them.
How about them electric turbos?, they're good right?, and they add like 4,000,000 HP at each of the four wheels, right?.
+1 for fog lights being good. I've had OEM, DDM, and eBay fog lights. Pretty much no detectable difference in quality between any of them.
I've bought fog lights, an emblem and a corner from ebay, all of which I was happy with.
The hong kong emblem I got for my old e36 was crooked. When it was in the tabs, it was tilted like 10 degrees to the right :rofl: and the text was noticeably different than the OEM one I replaced.
Good thing it was only $5
Mes got another item: radiator support.
50 bucks, came in black, and wasnt bad as far as quality goes. Sure it wasnt OEM name but its a radiator support, there isnt really anything that can go wrong other than missing/wrong holes (which wasnt the case with this). I'm happy with it.
Another one that was pretty good was this nose panel
Unlike the radiator support, this was OEM name. It was 100 shipped to my door. There isnt really much to say about it, other than it lined up properly. It was primed when I got it, so it was ready to go for any color with a quick 400 sand.
I'm just going down the "won/purchased" tab under my ebay :rofl: Is it bad if I have more to write as well?
I'm sure I have plenty more to write about.
: popcorn:
We have until the world ends
I basically got my whole cooling system from ebay and had no problem
I have also chrome kidney grills, but they look way too much like cheap plastic and thats why theyre not on my car
And I also have 2 ebay emblems which look good to me :]
OH! and the taiwanese prepainted lip spoiler is legit
I want to get wheel emblem decals but idk what size :/
I bought replacement clutch 180,control arms 110,and magnetic drain plug free with ebay bucks. All have been good to me. That 4,000,000 hp electric turbo sounds tempting though.
The only ebay part I have ever bought was a pre-painted avus E46 style lip spoiler that was on my M3. The quality of material used was fair, but not great. The color match was near perfect, but the paint was cheap and began cracking and fading badly after just 2 years.
I guess for $35 it was ok, but I definitely won't be buying another one.

ive bought all kinds of parts from ebay... maxima halos and led tail lights, turn signal mirrors, egr valve... catback exhaust for an impreza, tail lights.... euro grill, halo headlights, neuspeed short shift kit, tektonics tuning racing chip, clear side mArkers for jetta.... fog light housing and foglight minus the bulbs for m3, gforcechip, front an rear exhaust maifold, peake research tool... everyhthing was amazing and what i wanted except the gforcechip that i didnt give a fair trial... also i was expecting the foglights to have bulbs in them an the manifolds wont b here for a few days
i've only bought tail lights from ebay and was very unsatisfied. cheaply made and cheaply sealed. i guess it's expected for 55 shipped. i posted negative feedback but they offered me a 20 partial refund to change my feedback. so i swallowed my pride and changed it
:rofl: I didn't know they could do that. How good is feedback then if it can be changed?
I forgot I got the entire front suspension rebuild kit from FCP groton, it was great quality. :thumbup:
Man, I wouldn't change a negative review for anything if it was justified. People need to know when crap is crap, and they essentially bribed you into lying. Better thing to do would be to agree to change your review, accept their compensation, spend it, then change your review back to negative and notify eBay that a vendor is bribing unsatisfied customers to provide falsified reviews.
How about O2 sensors?, does any one have experience with the ebay ones?. The first one that pops up is a Bosch for $56 shipped, which sounds way better than $82+ S&H from bavauto, I assume since it's a Bosch it would be fine, they also have Walker, APW, and FTK.
How did I miss this thread for like 5 days? Good idea Chad.
Ebay 65 dollar fuel pump is great... but add your own clamp to the internal hose at the to PRIOR to the first installation otherwise it will pop off and cause you immense grief. Ebay interior panel clips were Excellent for about .04 cents a piece. The ebay window sliders from turkey $2.50 a piece were a little tight but seem to work GREAT. DEPO smoked tails are awesome fitment was tricky but the quality and shipping was wicked fast, for around 35 bucks (submitted offer) you cant go wrong :thumbup:
i could go into all the e30 parts but i digress
ohh and license to chill... your a moron GTFO... we're in the e36 section no-one wants to hear about you stupid maxima parts, g-force maf resister, or integra parts..... stop being stupid and contribute

Circular saw bevel
It seems many new circular saws are offering a bevel capacity greater than 45 degrees. Excluding the process of gang cutting birdsmouths in rafters, where else would this feature be regularly applicable?
It's really not of much use. Once in a great while an angle can be more then 45% or if you only want the to most outer tips to touch so there's no gap showing it's handy.
if your just doing basic cuts you dont need this option. for framers its pretty much a neccesity. the combination of making cheek cuts on hip and valley rafters along with odd angle gable end studs and skewed joists on bays need this option
Hip and rafter cheeks require >45 deg?
Edit: meant to say hip and valley...
the angle of the cheek cut can vary depending on what the pitch of the roof is along with the one it ties into .. be it a unequal pitch roof or a gazebo

Mel Miller's invaluable Musicals Tonight! series—which is now in its 14th season producing concert-style revivals of musicals from the (mostly distant) past—hits another bullseye with its latest offering, I'd Rather Be Right. This choice musical comedy first appeared on Broadway back in 1937, when its two pairs of creators—book writers George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart and score writers Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart—were the hottest names on the Great White Way. This, their one and only collaboration, does not represent either team at their peak; but even second-best Kaufman & Hart and Rodgers & Hart is well above par in musical theatre, and the chance to see this light-hearted satirical romp on stage for the first time in more than 70 years is one you will not want to pass up.
The title of the show is an allusion to something Henry Clay is supposed to have said (the rest of the quote is "...than president"). The main character of this show gets to be both: Franklin Delano Roosevelt is at the center of this very funny script, which focuses on his battle to balance the budget at the height of the Great Depression. Here, his reason for wanting to zero out the national deficit is pressing indeed: on a stroll in Central Park, FDR has happened upon Phil Barker and Peggy Jones, a couple of thoroughly charming and decent young Americans who are deeply in love but unable to get married. The reason: Phil's boss refuses to give him a raise until the President balances the budget.
I should mention, I guess, that this meeting with FDR occurs in a long dream sequence that comprises almost the entire running time of the show. Phil, bereft at not being able to marry Peggy, falls asleep in Central Park, his head in her lap. And in the dream, he conjures not only his Chief Executive but also the entire Cabinet, the Supreme Court, and a bunch of other notable figures.
Kaufman & Hart's book is loose as can be (in fact they bill the piece as a "musical revue" rather than a musical comedy, which is apt). Mostly the play is an occasion for various sketches that poke gentle though often pointed fun at the incongruities and mishaps of FDR and his New Deal. There's a running joke about Roosevelt's feud with the Supreme Court (they hide in the bushes to keep tabs on him); a couple of funny bits involving the President's famously domineering mother; and more than one swipe at the world of finance (at one point, Postmaster General James Farley has this too-resonant line: "Frank, we can't fool around with Wall Street. To hell with the country!").
By the second act, it's pretty much devolved into a vaudeville, with a sketch about the Wagner Labor Relations Act taking the form of a comic dialogue that wouldn't have been out of place in the mouths of Chico and Groucho; followed by a warm comic turn for FDR called "Off the Record" (which one can easily imagine original star George M. Cohan turning into a gigantic show-stopper; I need to check out Cagney's performance of it in Yankee Doodle Dandy); which is in turn followed by a faux-radio show featuring a hillbilly band made up of Cabinet members, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins delivering a gossip report a la Walter Winchell, Secretary of State Cordell Hull doing a bit of standup, and Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau crooning a song about government savings bonds. Great stuff.
There are some songs, of course, though no real hits. Phil and Peggy have two charming numbers, "Have You Met Miss Jones?" and "Sweet Sixty Five," and FDR leads the first act finale, "We're Going to Balance the Budget." Rodgers' melodies are, as always, tuneful and smart. Lyricist Hart really hits his stride though only one time, in the deliriously witless sendup "Spring in Milwaukee":
It's spring in Milwaukee
And spring when I sing;
It's spring in the hilltops,
And spring in the spring.
Miller, with frequent collaborator/casting director Stephen DeAngelis, has assembled a fine cast of 17 to put over the show. Steve Brady stars as the likable FDR, with the appealing Brent Di Roma and Laurie Hymes making an easy-to-root-for couple as Phil and Peggy. Standouts among the supporting cast include Lydia Gladstone as FDR's mom, Peter Cormican as a glad-handing Jim Farley, and Rob Lorey, who brings a splendid tenor to Morgenthau's eleven o'clock number "A Baby Bond." James Stenborg is at the piano, and Thomas Sabella-Mills at the helm, doing their usual sturdy work to guide the company smoothly through the script-in-hand presentation. (The pacing, especially on some of the gags, was a little slack at the opening night performance I saw; hopefully that will improve as the run progresses.)
I'd Rather Be Right is a delightful entertainment; even though many of the topical references are dated, the engine of this well-crafted comedy is in excellent shape. They knew how write a musical comedy in 1937. I wonder if anyone would dare to put on stage in 2011 something at once so gentle and good-natured and smart and sharply satirical about our current government leadership?

Director: David Fincher
Stars: Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, Anthony Edwards
"Meticulous" is a word that is often used to describe David Fincher's philosophy as a filmmaker. And it's that obsessive dedication to getting things right that elevates Zodiac from what could be a boring police procedural or outright schlocky horror film to a brilliantly balanced and deeply enthralling thriller as the filmmaker, actors and audience work together to solve the case of one of America's most notorious—and still unsolved—serial killers.
Fincher took a page from Alan J. Pakula's book, using All the President's Men as a template for Zodiac, which is based on cartoonist-turned-investigator Robert Graysmith's best-selling book. For Fincher, the film wasn't about the murders as much as it was the investigation of the murders. There was no "happy ending" to be found in an unsolved crime so, in true Fincher fashion, the director shopped the film until he found a studio that didn't balk at the lack of action, a 157-minute running time or an inconclusive ending. The rest, as they say, is history.

2004 Cadillac Devill seat instal in vintage car.l
Hi. I am attempting to install the seats out of a '04 devil in a '62 ford. ive installed the back seat fairly successfully and got the passenger seat working however the drivers side electric seat is not so easy. i understand this has to do with the memory module in the door of the car. i have the whole car in my driveway at the moment so i can scrap out any parts i need to finish this project. it would still be preferable to simply bi-pass this whole ordeal and just get the basic functions of the seat working, as the memory module is no use to me in the new car. Im not new to wiring so if somebody has the schematics for the seat it would be a great help! they are the heated and cooled version. I also wouldn't mind hooking up the air conditioned seat to a simple switch located somewhere in the car. however if its going to be a lot of extra trouble i can live without the cooled seat. if any one has experience in doing this, all input will be greatly appreciated!

Membrane-Active Properties and Antiradical Activity of Gossypol and Its Derivatives. Chemistry of Natural Compounds. 44(4):440-445. Interpretive Summary: Gossypol is known to have considerable biological activity, including antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-protozoan, and anti-viral effects. In this work, we report on the antioxidant activity of gossypol and relative derivatives and have studied how these compounds interact with artificial bi-lipid membranes. The work will be of interest to researchers studying gossypol anti-cancer activity and how gossypol is transported between cells.
Technical Abstract: New asymmetrical derivatives of gossypol were synthesized. The antioxidant activity of gossypol and these derivatives was studied. The interaction of these compounds with modeled lipid membranes was also studied. It was found that the antioxidant effects and ability to interact with membranes was dependent on the specific gossypol derivatives formed. The work indicates that gossypol and its derivatives can intercalate within bi-lipid membranes where they may affect transport function and membrane activity.

Modified BiOrb Life 60 Low tech
This is my first ever freshwater aquarium; I've successfully kept marines before though...not that that's much help here!
Anyhoo, I've inherited a BiOrb Life 60L from my brother; an interesting and challenging prospect. For one, it's got it's own built in filter type affair, with an airstone. Lighting is courtesy of a 6500K LED "Intelligent Light", of unspecified power. Dimensions measure 16.5" x 25" x 11", 16 US Gal, so not ideal for most fish, and probably a challenge to aquascape.
Despite all that, I think they look cool, and being acrylic, it should be easy enough to modify. :icon_twis. My plan is to set this up as a low tech aquarium (per this excellent guide http://www.sudeepmandal.com/hobbies/...ted-tank-guide)
Lighting will use the stock "Intelligent Lighting" by BiOrb
Filtration will be via an external canister filter (suggestions please!), plumbed into bulkheads at the back of the tank. The airline and existing "media basket" will be removed and capped off. I'll add some kind of small heater. I'd like an inline one, to keep as much stuff out of the tank as possible.
No idea about substrate yet, but a large, tall rock structure will probably feature, with plenty of caves, and I'll plant it pretty heavily, initially with a mix of Java moss and Java Fern, which I gather would both be OK with the stock lighting. Anything else I could add?
Inhabitants: I was thinking about a pair of Peacock Gudgeon (or Goby), various small shrimps and either a group of CPDs, or maybe Sparkling Gaurami. Eventually; obviously not all at once.
That's my idea, anyway. Any ideas/input would be gratefully received, especially on the size of canister filter required, and how to effectively aquascape a tall tank.
that is kind of a unique dimensioned tank. you could have quite a tall little scape in there to give the illusion of an even larger tank :thumbsup:
This tank is pretty cool to work with,. I've actually set this exact tank for my mate. I will get pics for you when I can. The trick in scaping these kind of tanks to make look bigger is to hide or cover up the back corners with plants or ornaments. Also the basic idea of the substrate being higher at the back of the tank works too.. but for taller tank make it extreme...
See my scape for my Fluval 46 litre (12 gallon) - it's a tall tank...
Wow Matt, your tank looks awesome; definitely some food for thought there. I'm glad you pointed out the limitations of a small opening when it comes to aquascaping - I'm sure i'd have completely forgotten when it comes to choosing my rocks! I see what you mean in the corners now - you basically make it look like there are no corners, so the eye thinks it's looking at a section of a larger 'scape...And with the sloping front to back, are you talking say 3 inches at the front, to 6 inches at the back, or more extreme than that?
I'm still confused over what filter to get. There seems to be some debate over flow rates. I estimated 400-500 L/hr but I see lots of similar sized tanks with Eheim 2215's or even 2217's.
I guess, if I go 600 l/hr that's going to be about right? I was thinking about the Tetratec EX 600, which I can get from Germany for a really good price, with free delivery. There are sometimes benefits to being in the EU! :biggrin:
Thanks man. I can tick a couple of things of the list then!
So, I'll go with a 600 lph canister, probably the Tetratec as it's a fair bit cheaper than the Eheim but I've heard good things.
I've posted a Q about lighting, but some initial calculations suggest that the stock "Intelligent Light" should be OK for the low light range of 15 to 30 lumens at the substrate.
Need to look at how I'm going to plumb the canister into 2 bulkheads, and importantly, where I'm going to place the bulkheads. I'm thinking about 3 inches below the water line.

Arsenal Football Club has become the first club to receive Kick It Out's Advanced Level of the Equality Standard. The standard supports the development of equality and diversity practice at professional clubs in the UK.
Arsenal has received the honour from football's equality and inclusion campaign after providing detailed evidence on what it is doing to promote diversity and equality. It includes work in the community, engagement with fans and the development of Club policies and processes to create equal opportunities for all.
The award will be handed over by Lord Herman Ouseley, Chair of Kick It Out at an event at Emirates Stadium which will see a number of equality and diversity groups and members of the football family come together. Arsenal's Chief Executive, Ivan Gazidis, Arsenal and England Ladies Captain Faye White and Arsenal supporters and individuals from the local community who are involved in some of Arsenal's initiatives which celebrate the diversity of its fan base will also be speaking at the event.
Click here to watch more footage from the event
Lord Herman Ouseley, Chair of Kick It Out, football's equality and inclusion campaign, said: "This is a significant achievement for the Club. They've demonstrated consistent good practice and led from the top. Their commitment to engaging with fans from ethnic minority communities and acting as a fair and equitable employer is something others should aspire to."
Arsenal's CEO Ivan Gazidis added: "This is a great achievement for Arsenal and is something of which the supporters and staff can all be very proud. However, we fully recognise there is a lot to be done to eradicate all forms of discrimination in football and beyond.
"We celebrate receiving this award today and will use it as a platform to continue the good work and engage more people and organisations who can help us contribute to the equality and diversity agenda and reach more people from all walks of life."
One of the key pillars of the Club's work on the equality and diversity agenda has been the Arsenal for Everyone initiative. It was launched four years ago to move from an anti-racism message to a broader programme to encourage diversity throughout the Arsenal family. It formed part of the Club's work towards the Advanced Level of the Equality Standard and encompassed a broad range of initiatives undertaken in the community and at Emirates Stadium.
This includes award-winning work to give disabled supporters an unrivalled matchday experience which includes a half-price season tickets for disabled supporters with accompanying carer, a dedicated matchday commentary service for visually impaired fans, the creation of an audio version of the matchday programme, provision of a disabled supporters lounge and the UK's only guide dog toilet.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
