They told David of Saul's servant, Ziba, who had the charge of Saul's farm in the country; and David sent for him. Ziba had become a rich man from his care of the lands that had belonged to Saul. David said to Ziba, "Are there any of Saul's family living, to whom I can show some of the kindness which God has shown toward me?" And Ziba said, "Saul's son Jonathan left a little boy, named Mephibosheth, who is now grown to be a man. He is living at Lodebar, on the east of Jordan." This child of Jonathan was in the arms of his nurse when the news came of the battle at Mount Gilboa, where Jonathan was slain. The nurse fled with him, to hide from the Philistine§, and in running fell; and the child's feet were so injured that ever after he was lame. Perhaps he was kept hidden in the distant place on the east of Jordan, from fear lest David, now that he was king, might try to kill all those who were of Saul's family; for such deeds were common in those times, when one king took the power away from another kings children.
David sent for Mephibosheth, Jonathan's son; and he was brought into David's presence, and fell down on his face before the king, for he was in great fear. And David said to him, "Mephibosheth, you need have no fear. I will be kind to you, because I loved Jonathan, your father, and he loved me. You shall have all the lands that ever belonged to Saul and his family; and you shall always sit at my table in the royal palace." Then the king called Ziba, who had been the servant of Saul, and said to him, "All the lands and houses that once belonged to Saul I have given to Mephibosheth. You shall care for them, and bring the harvests and the fruits of the fields to him. But Mephibosheth shall live here with me, and shall sit down at the kings table among the princes of the kingdom." So Mephibosheth, the lame son of Jonathan, was taken into David's palace, and sat at the kings table, among the highest in the land. And Ziba, with his fifteen sons and his twenty servants, waited on him, and stood at his command. This kindness of David to Mephibosheth might have brought trouble to David; for Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, and the grandson of Saul, might have been the king if David had not won the crown. By giving to Saul's grandson a place at his table, showing him honor, David might have helped him to take the kingdom away from himself, if Mephlbosheth had been a stronger man, with a purpose to win the throne of Israel. But David was generous, and Mephibosheth was grateful, and was contented with his place in the palace.

Meadowbrook Haunted Cornfield
The FUN is Almost over for the Season! ONLY Two weekends Left!2016 Haunted Cornfield is well on its way to be the best ever! With Many New creatures, animatronics & and scenes.
The Meadowbrook Pumpkin Farm Haunted Cornfield experience is a MUST SEE - MUST DO - ONE OF A KIND adventure. YOU WILL HAVE FUN, and it WILL BE the FUNNEST THING you do this October! It's different from a Haunted House, totally un-staged and hair-raising adventure through 8 plus creepy Houses and 3/4 Miles of Narrow trails in Tall Dense Corn, on Narrow confined Trails! The country style bonfire with Haunting Stories of past spooky or ghostly times in the valley when story teller is available.
The Live-Actor Nighttime Haunted Cornfield Adventures are on Friday and Saturday nights ONLY. That is the most intense time to come! Enjoy our Bonfire, Enjoy the Animals and giant Birds, while you muster up the courage to make your way through the haunted cornfield! It has live actors, fog, specialty sound effects, action creatures, and light effects. It is geared for us older kids & adults. This farm-style haunt takes 40-45 minutes to complete. Ages 12 and under are NOT RECOMMENDED, but use your own judgement. There are chicken gates along the way for those of you who cannot handle it or fear your health won't take it.
Experience the Haunted Cornfield Adventure - Over 3/4 mile of narrow mulch-covered trails that spread over a wide 6 acres of land. It is a jungle of tall corn, full of haunted & scary scenes, with action and sound effects, and almost alive-like creatures during the day... BUT MUCH MORE HAUNTED AT NIGHT! Creatures come to life... The fog rolls in... And eerie sounds fill the air while lights flicker and disorient you. Just like the eerie effects that one thinks of in the dark and creepy cornfields late at night. You never know which creatures are real, and which are not. However, touching the art exhibit displays or actors is strictly prohibited! You won't believe the effort we put in for your enjoyment. You will witness over 60 scenes, well over 200 creatures, sound effects, action figures, and live actors and props. THIS IS AWESOME! IT'S DEFINITELY "A MUST SEE, MUST DO ADVENTURE!" (It goes on light rain or moonshine) We continually change and add more to the field each season... More actors, props, and action characters. You will definitly get ideas on how to add to your Halloween pumpkin displays! We definitely have grown to be a one of a kind event in the midwest. Some say we put on a Hollywood-quality art display for Halloween. Well, we are on our way there!
Come early! We send people through in small groups of 4 to 6. NONE LARGER Flashlights are not allowed! No long lines!!! Enjoy the farm critters, sit by our bonfire, and tell or listen to haunting stories from 6pm - 10pm. Enjoy time with your family or friends till your wristband numbers get announced by the bonfire! Know your last three numbers! Then enter the quick line. (The quick-line consists of about 10 to 15 groups.) Once your number has passed, you may enter the quick-line at any time thereafter! You may also get a speed-pass and enter the quick line right away and visit the bonfire later! Enjoy haunted stories by the bonfire for an hour or two depending on how busy we get. Your entry time is based on number on your tickets purchased. Ticket sales begin at 12pm and run until 11:30 pm. We want to be ended by midnight, so come early... The fun begins at 6pm!PARENTS DISCRETION IS ADVISED - Not recommended for kids under 10. Those Under 14 are not allowed to enter property without parents after 10pm.

This Haunted Cornfield is long, intense, scary, creepy, unpredictably startling, un-staged, and terrifying to most! We work on all your fears. If you think they can handle it, go ahead and bring them. There are chicken gates (escape exits) for those that can't handle it! This is a totally different experience from going to any Haunted House. This is also not your basic corn maze. It is a narrow, winding trail of extra-tall, and extra-thick corn, with lots of almost alive creatures and scenes. Many buildings, crypts, and cemeteries along the way. Complete with fog, sound, and light effects. But remember, we only allow so many guests a night... Buying of a ticket reserves your space. There are no refunds once you enter. If your child is horrified, and doesn't make it into the beginning, ask for Rick. He will help make the evening better and worth it the youngster!
A maze, that other people have, is short corn, with wide trails, for you to run around in, criss-cross, tear up, and scare others. They seldom have anything more than a scarecrow, a few cutesy Halloween props, and kids acting and shaking milk jugs. If you've been to one of these, then you will really understand why our haunted cornfield is different, much more amazing, creepy, and all of what we say it is... It will be one of the most fun things you'll do this October, so come and enjoy yourselves!
Enjoy our bonfire while you wait for your wristband number to come up. Tickets are numbered and number sequences are anounced by the bonfire. When your ticket number is between the numbers displayed you can enter the quick-line! The quick-line is a small line of 6-10 groups for you to wait in, and prepare for the haunt itself!

U.S. men's soccer team earns tie with El Salvador
Sun., March 29, 2009
Jozy Altidore started the comeback in the 77th minute and Frankie Hejduk scored the tying goal in the 88th as the United States rallied for a 2-2 draw at El Salvador in a World Cup qualifier Saturday night at San Salvador, El Salvador.
Tiny El Salvador, ranked just 106th in the world, built a 2-0 lead against the No. 17 Americans before a boisterous crowd of 30,500 at Estadio Cuscatlan on goals by Eliseo Quintanilla in the 15th minute and Crisian Castillo in the 72nd.
The United States (1-0-1), seeking its sixth straight World Cup berth, leads the final round of the North and Central American and Caribbean region with four points heading into Wednesday's qualifier at Nashville, Tenn., against Trinidad and Tobago (0-0-2), which rallied at home to tie Honduras (0-1-1) on Saturday.
•Europeans fare well: World Cup champion Italy moved into strong position to qualify for the 2010 tournament with a victory, and fellow European powers Germany, Spain, France and the Netherlands also picked up wins. Other winners included Russia, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Mexico and Togo. Ireland tied Bulgaria 1-1.
O'Hair in front
Sean O'Hair survived a windy, rugged test at Bay Hill and wound up in the final group with Tiger Woods for the second straight year – with one big difference. This time, the tournament is in his hands.
Despite three bogeys in the last four holes, O'Hair had a 1-over-par 71 and a five-shot lead over Woods going into the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, Fla.
•O'Meara in front at Cap Cana: Two-time major winner Mark O'Meara roared into position for his first Champions Tour win, matching the Cap Cana Championship scoring record with a 7-under 65 at Cap Cana, Dominican Republic.
Eduardo Romero and Keith Fergus joined O'Meara atop the leaderboard at 8-under 136.
•Shin with one-stroke lead: Jiyai Shin moved into position for her second LPGA Tour victory of the year and fifth in eight months, shooting a 6-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead after the third round of the J Golf Phoenix LPGA International in Phoenix.
Wendy Ward of Edwall, Wash., shot a 71 and was tied for 27th.
Arenas returns
Gilbert Arenas nearly had a heroic finish to his first game in almost a year. Instead, Kwame Brown blocked Agent Zero's shot in the final seconds to help preserve the Detroit Pistons' 98-96 victory over the Wizards in Washington.
Arenas finished with 15 points and 10 assists in 30 minutes in his first game since April 27, 2008. The three-time All-Star had missed 156 of his team's previous 173 games, including playoffs, thanks to a knee injury that spawned two overeager comeback attempts and three surgeries over an 18-month span.
•Roy leads Blazers to win: Brandon Roy had 21 points and eight rebounds to lead the Trail Blazers to an 86-66 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in Portland.
LaMarcus Aldridge added 18 points for the Blazers, who have won six straight over Memphis.
Sabres rally to win
Toni Lydman scored on Buffalo's fifth shootout attempt, and Ryan Miller stopped each of Montreal's five tries to lead the Sabres to a 4-3 win over the Canadiens at Montreal.
Lydman put a shot through Carey Price's legs after the goalie turned aside the first four shooters he faced.
•Panthers down Stars: Stephen Weiss and Nathan Horton each scored in the final minute of the second period, and the Florida Panthers beat the reeling Stars 6-3 in Dallas.
The Panthers moved within a point of Montreal for eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
Horse Racing
Well Armed victorious
Well Armed ran away with the $6 million Dubai World Cup and claimed the richest prize in horse racing in an upset that left the favorites deep in the pack at Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The 14-length victory – nearly double the record Dubai World Cup margin set last year by Curlin – was so comfortable that jockey Aaron Gryder patted the 6-year-old gelding's neck 10 strides before the finish.
•Quality Road wins again: Quality Road held off previously unbeaten Dunkirk in the stretch to win the Grade 1 Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., giving the colt his second graded stakes win in as many starts.
•Barbaro's brother Nicanor runs second again: Barbaro's little brother is still waiting for his first win. Nicanor finished second in an eight-horse maiden race at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., falling short of breaking his maiden for the third straight time.
Richardson, Sullivan win
Kaylin Richardson and Marco Sullivan won downhill events at the U.S. Alpine Championships in Girdwood, Alaska.
Richardson finished in 1 minute, 10.18 seconds to edge Julia Mancuso (1:10.53). Sullivan finished in 1:08.07, ahead of Erik Fisher (1:08.44).
•Auburn wins men's swimming and diving title: Auburn won the 400-yard freestyle relay to complete a final-day rally past Texas to win the NCAA men's swimming and diving championship at College Station, Texas.
•Debuting team takes F-1 pole: Brawn GP became the first Formula One team in 39 years to take the pole position in its debut race when Jenson Button secured the spot for today's season-opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, Australia.
•Ethiopian, Kenyan take cross country titles: Gebre-egziabher Gebremariam of Ethiopia won the men's 12-kilometer race at the World Cross Country Championships, and Florence Jebet Kiplagat of Kenya took the title in the women's 8-kilometer race at Amman, Jordan. Gebremariam won in 35 minutes, 2 seconds, and Kiplagat finished in 26:13.

This one is short...Apr. 25th, 2010 05:59 pm
Seriously. Corned beef, sauerkraut, horseradish, on rye. It is the only thing I will eat swiss cheese with, because nothing else tastes right. Best ever was at the Gray Goose in Portland, OR. I had mine, half of my mother's, and I would have had more, but my sister knows me too well and threatened to fork me.


text: Hello, I went to my local Paradigm dealer store ( Top Audio in Orange County, CA) and I've already decided to go with Paradigm speakers but can't decide which ones to go with. I first auditioned the Paradigm Atoms, and while they were really good (for the price) the Mini-Monitor and Monitor 3s seem to me to be on a different level. I already decided to go with the Center CC-370 but now the real question, Mini-Monitor or Monitor 3? The price difference is $50.00, with retail at $350.00 and $400.00. (The dealer is doing 20% off on all speakers) I listened to both, with a music CD with a Carver amp, and the Mini-Monitor seemed to be generally brighter while the Monitor 3 seemed warmer with the overall bass and sound. My listening breakdown is around 85% movies, 15% music. With a future upgrade to a Panny RP91, the percentage to music should increase. But the point is DVDs dominate my soundstage. $50.00 difference isn't a whole lot, but yet if the Mini-Monitors are good enough instead of the Monitor 3, I would rather save the $50.00 and put that towards accesories like the Paradigm stand. Any comments on these two products that will help me choose which one suits me. My current A/V reciever is a Kenwood VR-407, my listening room is rather large but I expect to be moving around alot, possibly to an apartment ( in a year or so). I also might be upgrading my reciever by the end of the year to a newer model with DPII, possibly the Denon 3802 or the like < $1000.00. Also, I could buy the Minis first along with the CC-370 and when cost permit, but the Monitor 3 and shuffle the minis to the back. The deals are as follows for those curious, - CC-370, Monitor 3s - $580.00 - CC-370, Mini Monitor - $530.00 The matching Paradigm stands are about $100.00. Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks Raymond Higa

University of California at Santa Barbara : Global & International Studies Program
When it was established in early 1999 it was widely recognized as one of the first interdisciplinary undergraduate majors in international studies in the country to focus on globalization. Former Secretary of State Warren Christopher presided over the inaugural occasion.
Within its first five years, the numbers of global studies majors grew to over 700 per year—60% focusing on the socioeconomic and political aspects of globalization, and 40% emphasizing the cultural and ideological side. More majors from Global Studies participate in the University of California's systemwide Education Abroad program than from any other department or program on campus.
Faculty related to the global studies program include several whose positions are partially or wholly in global and international studies and who teach the core required global studies courses in the curriculum. These faculty are augmented by affiliate faculty who teach courses related to the global studies major, and by distinguished visiting faculty which have included Richard Falk and Hilal Elver, Paul Orfalea, Barbara Bodine, Walden Bello, and Ann Louise Bardach. A total of over forty faculty participate directly in the program. (See our Faculty page.)
In Fall 2003 a graduate-level PhD Emphasis in Global Studies was created, supported by the departments of Anthropology, Communication, Comparative Literature, Education, English, Feminist Studies, Film & Media Studies, Geography, History, Linguistics, Political Science, Religious Studies, and Sociology departments, and coordinated by Global & International Studies.
A fully-fledged PhD in Global Studies was established in Spring 2014.
The program is comprised of currently fifteen core full-time faculty, as well as twenty-four affiliated faculty members and three visiting faculty.
- MA, Global and International Studies
- Ph.D. Emphasis in Global Studies
- Ph.D. in Global Studies
The two-year M.A. program combines courses from the social sciences and humanities with practical training and real-world experience. Students typically spend the summer of their first year and fall quarter of their second year abroad, taking courses and doing internships with non-governmental organizations, governmental bodies, or businesses. The program is developing partnerships with other globally-oriented educational institutions abroad, and a range of international NGOs, for study and intern placements. Students will also take two policy-oriented workshops designed to simulate real-life decision-making situations. Non-credit workshops will also be available for interested students, providing opportunities to learn about such practical matters as grant writing and foundation funding, tracking organizational finances, information management, and computer-based technologies.
The curriculum consists of three courses per quarter. The first year includes required courses on Organizational Policy and Management, Micro/Macro Economics, International Economics, Global Trade and Finance, Transnational Forces and Political Systems, Global Governance and World Order, Theories of Intercultural Understanding, and Global Organizations and Civil Society. Students are also required to take a course on Research Methods in Global & International Affairs, participate in a policy analysis and exercise seminar, and attend a one-unit seminar that focuses on contemporary issues and internship preparation.
The second year allows students to choose courses that provide background in particular cultural/geographic regions, and focus on a career emphasis in either Global Social and Economic Development or Global Culture and Human Rights. Students are also required to take courses in an area specialization of their choice: East Asia, South and Southeast Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, or Europe. A course on Managing Development Organizations, Non-Profits and Other NGOs: Theory and Practice is also offered as an elective. The second year culminates with a required policy workshop.
In consultation with their advisors, students can elect either Master's Plan I (thesis) or Master's Plan II (project). It is expected that most students will choose the former.
- Anthropology
- Area Studies
- Economics
- English
- Environmental Studies
- Law (Law & Society)
- Middle East Studies
- Political Science
- Religious Studies
- Sociology
- Women's Studies
Six academic quarters, plus one summer-quarter internship
In Fall 2003 a graduate-level PhD Emphasis in Global Studies was created, supported by the departments of Anthropology, Communication, Comparative Literature, Education, English, Feminist Studies, Film & Media Studies, Geography, History, Linguistics, Political Science, Religious Studies, and Sociology, coordinated by Global & International Studies.
A fully-fledged PhD in Global Studies was launched in 2014.
- September
The MA includes a second year summer/fall NGO internship
Courses are taught in:
- English
In June 2008, the MA in Global & International Studies program graduated its inaugural (2006) class of students, totaling 18. With a second cohort of 15 and a Fall 2008 incoming class of 20 new students, the MAGIS program has been averaging between 25-35 students a year.
MAGIS students reflect a broad diversity of backgrounds, prior academic training, work/professional experience, study abroad, and world travel. Among current students, non-US nationalities are represented by Canada, China, Greece, Guam, Kosovo, India, Iran, Israel, Trinidad/Tobego, and Turkey while American students from multi-ethnic backgrounds bring in Armenian, Chilean, Japanese, Lebanese, Mexican, Palestinian, Thai, and Vietnamese perspectives, among others. This diversity represents a tremendous enrichment to the program.
Graduates of the Master of Arts in Global & International Studies will seek careers in the international NGO sector, in the foreign service and government agencies, and in international business; some will go on to other professional schools in foreign affairs or to PhD programs emphasizing global and international studies.
Both the Masters in Global & International Studies program and the Global & International Studies Program itself (undergraduate major, PhD emphasis, full PhD program) are administratively domiciled in UCSB's College of Letters and Science.

This invention relates generally to aquariums, specifically to an aquarium with improved filtration and aeration.
A typical aquarium includes a transparent tank for holding water and fish, an air pump, and a water filter. The pump continuously aerates the water, i.e., adds oxygen thereto, through a submerged, highly porous "air stone" or diffuser, which breaks up the air into a great number of tiny air bubbles. The filter removes debris and waste matter when the water is circulated through it by either a mechanical pump, or by water current generated by the rapidly rising air bubbles from the diffuser. Most aquariums are bulky and heavy, so that they must be supported on a sturdy floor stand or desk. Such arrangements consume valuable floor or desk space, and also position the aquariums at below eye level, so that a person must bend or kneel down to view the aquatic life.
Various wall-mounted aquariums have been proposed for being positioned at eye level for convenient viewing, and that require zero footprint for conserving space. U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,874,336 to Murphy (1975); 4,353,327 to Shroyer (1982); and 4,967,694 to Waldman (1990) show aquariums for mounting on walls. The Murphy device is a simple fish bowl with a mounting plate and a light; the Shroyer device includes an ornamental picture frame surrounding a relatively thin tank with a graphical background; and the Waldman device includes a bracket for slidably receiving the tank and interchangeable background art. However, none of these aquariums includes an aeration and filtration system. Therefore they are limited to keeping rugged aquatic life, such as gold fish, that can survive in dirty water with low oxygen content. Although separate aeration and filtration systems can be added, none of these aquariums includes storage space for holding accessories. As a result, a bundle of unsightly wires and hoses must dangle from the tanks to connect to external pumps and wall-mounted power sockets.
Aquariums with self-contained aeration and filtration systems have also been proposed. U.S. Pat. No. 5,245,945 to Liao (1993) shows a tank divided by a partition extending between the front and back thereof into a primary compartment for holding larger fish, and a smaller secondary compartment for holding smaller fish. A U-shaped filter is disposed within the secondary compartment. An air hose with a diffuser at its distal end is positioned within a submerged bubble tube or conduit. Rapidly rising air bubbles emitted from the diffuser create an upwardly moving water current within the bubble conduit to draw water through the filter. However, the small bubble conduit has a limited carrying capacity and a correspondingly low pumping rate. Furthermore, the longitudinal partition reduces the width and therefore the display area of the primary compartment. Also the unsightly accessories, such as the pump, hoses, and bubble conduit, are all plainly visible, and therefore detract from the display of the fish. U.S. Pat. No. 5,306,421 to Weinstein (1994) also shows a tank divided by a longitudinal partition into a habitation compartment for holding fish, and a filtration compartment housing an electric water pump and a filter assembly. Again, the compartments side-by-side arrangement reduces the width of the tank's display area.
A wall-mounted aquarium with a decorative picture frame is disclosed in a brochure of Boschert Aquatics, Los Gatos, Calif. It has a built-in, triangular bubble conduit partitioned from a corner of the tank, and a built-in under-gravel filter. However, the conduit has a small cross-section and low carrying capacity, so that its aeration and filtration efficiencies are low. Furthermore, the cropped corner of the tank, i.e., the triangular bubble conduit, gives the interior of the tank an irregular and untidy appearance. The bubble conduit is opaque, so that it hides the attractive bubbles. The aquarium has no storage space for the pump, which must be positioned outside of the device, such as on the floor or a desk. It is also not illuminated, so that optimal viewing is only possible in strong ambient light.
These and all other prior art aquariums are either mere fish bowls without aeration or filtration, or have an inadequate or poorly arranged aeration and filtration system. Some aquariums include a filtration system that uses a small bubble conduit with limited carrying capacity; some are divided into side-by-side habitation and filtration compartments that reduce the width of the display area; some are not illuminated, so that they do not optimally display the colorful fish kept therein; and some include no storage space for accessories, so that a bundle of unsightly wires and hoses must dangle therefrom.
Accordingly the primary objects and advantages of the present invention are to provide an improved aquarium, an aquarium which maximizes the width of the habitat or display area, which provides a very attractive bubble display, and which provides significantly improved aeration and water filtration.
Other objects and advantages of the invention are to provide an aquarium which can be either mounted on a wall or supported on a stand, which fully encloses and hides all necessary accessories for a tidy appearance, which illuminates the aquatic life therein for improved viewing, which has an easily replaceable ornamental picture mat or border, and which is easy to clean.
The aquarium includes a transparent tank surrounded by a picture,frame-shaped housing suitable for wall mounting. An air pump is received in a hidden storage space below the tank. The tank is divided by a transparent partition that extends between its sides into a full-width habitation compartment at the front thereof for holding fish, and a full-width bubble conduit at the back thereof for carrying air bubbles. The lower edge of the partition is spaced above the bottom of the tank to form a full-width water intake aperture, and the top edge of the partition is spaced below the water line to form a water return aperture. A full-width air diffuser, which is fed by the air pump through a hose, is positioned horizontally near the bottom of the bubble conduit to emit a wide sheet of rising bubbles therein. The rising bubbles create an upwardly moving water current, which draws water from the habitation compartment through an under-gravel filter positioned at the bottom thereof, through the intake aperture under the partition, up the bubble conduit, and returns the water into the habitation compartment through the return aperture.

In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention shown in the front isometric view in FIG. 1A, an aquarium includes an acrylic tank 10 flamed by a decorative border or mat 11, and received in a picture-flame-shaped housing 12. Tank 10 holds a layer of gravel 13 on its bottom, and is filled with water 14 and fishes 15. A sheet of bubbles 16, which will be explained infra, continuously rise along the back side of tank 10.
As shown in the rear isometric view in FIG. 1B, housing 12 includes a removable top cover 17, opposite sides 18 and 19, and a bottom 20. A support member 21 extends between sides 18 and 19 to support tank 10 thereon, and defines a hidden storage space 22 below it that receives and hides a conventional electric air pump 23. A notch 24 in bottom 20 allows the passage of an extension cord 58, which includes outlets that connect to electrical cords 25, 55, and 57 of pump 23 and two other electrical accessories, respectively, which will be further explained infra. Instead of having three unsightly electrical cords dangling from the aquarium, extension cord 58 reduces the number to just one.
A retaining member 26, which is removably mounted between sides 18 and 19 by screws (not shown) disposed in angled screw holes 27, retains tank 10 in housing 12. The interior of housing 12 is slightly wider than tank 10, so that a pair of gaps 28 (one shown) are formed on the sides of tank 10. Gaps 28 receive and hide electrical cords 55 and 57, and an air hose 29 connected to pump 23, so that they cannot be seen from the front. The distal end of air hose 29 is submerged in tank 10, and will be further explained infra. Housing 12 includes a cross-member 30 that removably engages a mounting beam 31, which can be attached to a wall (not shown) with nails 32 for hanging the aquarium thereon.
Tank 10 is shown in a front isometric view in FIG. 2; housing 12 (FIG. 1A) is omitted here for clarity. Acrylic tank 10 includes a transparent front 33, opaque opposite sides 34 and 35, an opaque back 36, a bottom 37, and a removable transparent top cover 38, which includes chamfered rear corners 39, and a handle 40. Opaque sides 34 and 35, and opaque back 36 are all of the same color to provide a uniform visual background. Bottom 37 can be either transparent or opaque, because it will be normally hidden by gravel (not shown).
A removable, transparent acrylic sheet or planar partition 41 spans the width of tank 10, and is slidably received in slots 42 formed into sides 34 and 35. A pair of opaque L-brackets 43 (one shown) are attached to the opposite sides of partition 41: one L-bracket 43 receives and hides air hose 29, and the other L-bracket (not shown) hides electrical cord 57 of a conventional, submersible heater 59 positioned behind partition 41. Air hose 29 carries air from pump 23 to a horizontal, elongated "air stone" or diffuser 44 mounted on the back side of partition 41 by a pair of mounting rings 45. Diffuser 44 substantially spans the width of tank 10. A removable under-gravel filter 46 includes slots 47 and spacers 48 for spacing it above bottom 37 of tank 10.
The aquarium of FIG. 1A is shown in a side sectional view in FIG. 3. Partition 41 divides tank 10 into a habitation compartment 49 in the front thereof, and a planar bubble conduit 50 in the back thereof. The bottom edge of partition 41 is spaced above bottom 37 of tank 10 by a pair of spacers 51 (one shown) to form a gap or water intake aperture 52, whereas the top edge of partition 41 is spaced below the water line to form a water return aperture 60. Cross-member 30 and mounting beam 31, which can be attached to a wall (not shown), have beveled opposite edges for hanging the aquarium. The aquarium has a flat bottom, so that it can be alternatively supported on a desk or floor stand (not shown) if desired. A bracket 53 mounts a conventional light bar 54 under top cover 17 of frame 12. Light bar 54 includes electrical cord 55 extending therefrom, and can be either DC or AC powered. Light bar 54 illuminates the fish through transparent cover 38 of tank 10 for improved viewing, regardless of ambient lighting conditions.
In use, pump 23 continuously supplies air to diffuser 44 through hose 29. Diffuser 44 thus continuously emits a sheet of air bubbles 16 to aerate the water. The rising bubbles also create an upwardly moving water current C1, which draws in water from habitation compartment 49 as intake flow F1 through gravel 13, slots 47 in under-gravel filter 46, and intake aperture 52 under partition 41. As water is drawn through gravel 13, debris and waste matter are filtered from the water. The water flowing upwardly in bubble conduit 50 is eventually returned to habitation compartment 49 through return aperture 60 as return flow F2. The cycle is constantly repeated, so that water is continuously circulated through tank 10 in a clockwise direction.
The interior of tank 10 can be easily cleaned by removing covers 17 and 38. Alternatively, tank 10 can be removed from housing 12 for cleaning by removing retaining member 26. Either way, partition 41, gravel 13, and under-gravel filter 46 can all be removed from tank 10 so that they can be cleaned individually, and so that the entire interior of tank 10 is exposed for thorough cleaning.
The aquarium is shown in a top sectional view in FIG. 4. Bubble conduit 50 substantially spans the width of tank 10, i.e., it is a full-width conduit. Unlike the small tubular bubble conduits in prior art aquariums, bubble conduit 50 has a much larger cross-sectional area and a much higher carrying capacity. Full-width bubble conduit 50 can accommodate full-width diffuser 44; this combination allows more bubbles to be introduced into more water at the same time to improve aeration and current flow, which in turn improves filtration. Also unlike the prior art aquariums with side-by-side habitation and filtration/aeration compartments that substantially reduce the width of the display window, bubble conduit 50 is positioned directly behind habitation compartment 49, i.e., in a front-and-back arrangement, so that bubble conduit 50 does not compromise the size of the display window.
Each of sides 18 and 19 of housing 12 includes a slot 56 for slidably receiving the opposite edges of mat 11, which can be easily removed and replaced with another one (not shown) of a different style or color if desired.
In use, diffuser 44 (FIG. 3 ) emits a sheet of rising bubbles 16 that substantially span the width of tank 10. In addition to improving filtration and aeration, the sheet of bubbles 16 also provide a very attractive, prominent, and constantly changing display.
Accordingly the reader will see that we have provided an improved aquarium. Its full-width diffuser and its high capacity, full-width bubble conduit produce substantially improved filtration and aeration, and also provide a very attractive display of rising bubbles that span the back of the tank. The full-width bubble conduit is positioned behind the habitation compartment, so that it does not compromise the width of the display window. The aquarium can be mounted on a wall to resemble a live picture and to conserve floor or desk space, or alternatively it can be supported on a desk or floor stand. Its frame or housing hides the pump and its wires and hoses for a tidy and attractive appearance. It illuminates the fishes within for improved viewing, regardless of the ambient lighting conditions. It includes a replaceable decorative mat, which can be easily changed for another one of a different style or color if desired. It is also easy to disassemble and clean.
Although the above descriptions are specific, they should not be considered as limitations on the scope of the invention, but only as examples of the preferred embodiment. Many other ramifications and variations are possible within the teachings of the invention. For example, the partition can be provided in different widths, so that it can be mounted into different tanks with add-on rails mounted to the sides of the tanks. The partition and the L-brackets can be attached to the back of the tank with suction cups, so that the brackets butt up against the back to form a seal. The L-brackets can be formed as integral parts of the partition. Instead of being partitioned out of the tank, the bubble conduit can be made as a pipe with its own walls that are independent of the tank's walls, so that it can be made in different widths for use in conventional tanks of different sizes. Instead of an under-gravel filter, a foam or cotton filter can be disposed within the bubble conduit below the diffuser. A plastic sheet with waterproof graphics printed thereon can be positioned in front of the back side of the tank to provide a decorative background scene; alternatively, the back side of the tank can be made transparent, and graphics can be positioned behind it. The storage space, and even the entire picture-frame housing can be eliminated, so that the tank is used alone. The tank can also be made with different dimensions, e.g., as a deep, rectangular box like most conventional aquariums, and displayed on a desk or floor stand. The light can be eliminated. Instead of an air stone, other types of suitable air diffusers can be used. The bubble conduit can be further divided by internal baffles into a series of lateral bubble tubes. The housing can be made of other materials, such as plastic. Instead of having a combination of opaque and transparent surfaces, the entire tank can be transparent. Instead of acrylic, the tank can be made of glass or other suitable materials. Therefore, the scope of the invention should not be determined by the examples given, but by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.

Learn about Strathclyde University computer courses online, and registering for elective seminars and lectures. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Whether you are considering an associates degree, or a bachelor of business administration degree, your investment may pay off with a higher-paying job, or an in-house promotion. Concentrating on Strathclyde University computer courses online, for example, you may gain an advantage in corporate recruiting being done on-campus. Check with the IT certificate department for course registration deadlines, and computer training program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Strathclyde University.
Doing business online is one of your best options to raise extra income. Success is governed by two main factors, visitor traffic and sales conversions. How many of the right people can you attract to your site, and how many of those people can you persuade to take a given action? There's no rent to pay when starting a business online, unless you count yearly domain name registration and monthly website hosting, both of which are minor. Basically, you need to register a domain name describing the type of business you want to start, and then build the website using a template in HTML, adding a database and programming routines as needed.
Just making a website isn't enough, if no-one can find it on Google, Yahoo, Bing, or Baidu, which collectively account for 94% of all searches. You'll then need online marketing skills, and the ability to drive conversions. To get valid incoming links, write some more articles, and submit to article hubs, or post on Facebook and Google Sites, with 3 to 4 links on each page that deep-link to your own website pages, not just to your homepage. Beyond major requirements within the IT certificate department, you may consider Washington and Jefferson College class requirements as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Pure Paso Robles, this rich yet smooth Cabernet Sauvignon is loaded with elegant aromas of blackberry, blueberry, pepper and cassis which lead to flavors of dark red fruits with hints of cedar spice, cocoa powder and caramelized oak. These persistent flavors create a long lingering finish. While very accessible now, this wine will continue to evolve nicely for years to come.
Rich, smooth flavors with an elegant finish.

The 2013 harvest looks like it's going to be a classic vintage in Paso Robles. The cool spring set-up a crop lighter than normal by about 20%. The growing season went smoothly, without any long heat spikes or cool stretches. Sugar accumulation came up early and may have possibly convinced some winemakers to pick too early with insufficient tannin ripeness. Those that were able to hold off for maturity should be rewarded with some outstanding wines with great texture and weight to balance alcohols. The yields being overall down for many vintners, most wines exhibit deep color, complex tannin with fully mature flavors.
The Niven Family knows Edna Valley Chardonnay. They have been crafting it for over 40 years at their historic Paragon Vineyard. This is yet another classic Paragon Vineyard Chardonnay from Edna Valley – loaded with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit and moving beautifully into ripe, yet balanced, flavors of apple, pear, and pineapple.

Find info concerning Northern Michigan University theater studies, and registering for departmental seminars and elective lectures. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Then get a copy of the schedule of classes, so you can plan a workable weekly schedule for yourself. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Northern Michigan University Drama Major information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Northern Michigan University.
Not all people working as actors in film, television, or theater are professionally trained. For example, Bob Hoskins didn't have any formal training before taking up acting. Universities may offer drama programs derived from the system of Constantine Stanislavski, which was popularized in America by Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler. Regardless of a school's approach, students should study human emotions, character interpretation, voice and dance.
While most modern theatre companies rehearse only one new piece of theatre at a time, and then perform that piece for a set run, retire the piece, repertory companies often rehearse multiple shows at once. Repertory theatre involves a group of accomplished actors, and relies more on the reputation of the group, rather than on an individual star performer. Further, actors who have worked together in several productions can respond to each other's nonverbal cues without relying as much on external direction or adherence to theatrical conventions. Beyond consideration for Northern Michigan University theater studies, you may think about Hinds Community College assessment tests for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Medical Cluster
Coalinga State Hospital
Coalinga State Hospital, a psychiatric secured treatment facility, is a dominant medical provider for mental health services for the State. This State facility will retain over 1,300 health care practitioners in a workforce totaling 2,000 employees. Psychiatrists, psychologists, registered nurses, and a host of other medical personnel will be retained for this facility. Several of these health care practitioners will establish private offices, and offer their professional services to residents throughout a multi-county region. This facility was opened in 2005.
Coalinga Regional Medical Center
The City of Coalinga has a community hospital - Coalinga Regional Medical Center (CRMC), which is a medical complex providing acute care, medical laboratory, skilled nursing facilities, medical offices, and surgical facilities. This medical complex provides health services to western Fresno and Kings Counties. This community facility has several medical and health care practitioners serving the community.
In addition to CRMC, the City has a second skilled nursing facility. A proposed long-term care and Alzheimer's facility may also be constructed adjacent to the CRMC to expand on the continuum of health care for our community and region.
Opportunity: The City of Coalinga can be the center of regional mental health services and facilities for a multi-county region. Private practices from the 1,300 health care professionals at Coalinga State Hospital can also blossom into specialized health care services and facilities/centers (Alzheimer's, geriatric, adolescent, etc.).
Education/Training Cluster
West Hills Community College
West Hills Community College is another economic development engine within our community. This fully accredited two-year community college offers more than 220 courses in nearly 30 Associate Degree programs. President Willard Lewallen leads the College in Coalinga. The College has enhanced the medical and health career curriculum for residents from a multi-county area as well as international students. The curriculum includes: Psychiatric Technicians, Registered Nurse, Emergency Medical Technicians, Radiologic Technology, and Medical Terminology. West Hills Community College has campuses in Coalinga, Lemoore, and Firebaugh. Dr. Frank Gornick, Chancellor of West Hills Community College, is the leader of this nationally recognized community college.
Opportunity: Expansion of continuing training and education of health care professionals at West Hills Community College will occur. The College already has fiber optics and advanced technologies. Long-distance learning through major medical institutions will create a world-class academic environment for mental health professionals. In addition, the College has also embarked upon the "Farm of the Future", which will be a significant resource to the Ag-Value industry cluster.

Coalinga-Huron Unified School District
The Coalinga-Huron Unified School District has a 2007-08 CBEDS enrollment of 4,356 and employs over 500 employees.

The Coalinga-Huron Library District serves both communities, and offers in excess of 70,000 volumes along with an extensive resource collection for our schools and local patrons. Carol Kreamer, Director of Library Services, provides leadership and a vision for outreach services to the Pleasant Valley.
Advanced Logistics & Distribution Cluster
Avenal, Coalinga, and Huron, a tri-city area, has immediate access to Interstate 5. Our three cities also bring transportation modes to attract this industry cluster. These transportation modes are:
Avenal- A major industrial park positioned along both sides of Interstate 5
Coalinga has the largest (5,000-foot runway) general aviation airport in Fresno County. Plans are underway to create an aviation-related industrial park at the Coalinga Municipal Airport. The airport can be expanded and is above the "fog belt" of the Valley.
Huron- Rail service for commercial & industrial customers
The City of Coalinga already has a 32-acre developed Industrial Park available and ready for immediate occupancy. The Park would be ideal for a distribution and manufacturing facility. West Hills College also provides curriculum and training for several job classifications needed for the Advanced Logistics and Distribution Cluster.
Opportunity: A tri-city initiative to form a multi-modal transportation hub in western Fresno County is underway. The cities of Avenal, Coalinga, and Huron have explored the potential for warehouse and distribution centers along Interstate 5.
