Ladder into steps
Materials: Kura, Trofast, bits of wood railings
Description: I needed to figure a way to save space in my girls bedroom but the problem with the Kura bed we had was that my daughters could not climb up or down the ladder to get into or out of the bed.
We bought a Trofast storage unit as a replacement for the stairs. It worked great! They could both climb up and down into the bed but to make it safer we added some railing to the Trofast unit.
We bought 3 posts from the hardware store and cut them down to size, screwed them onto the sides of the unit. Cut the railing to size and attached it to the posts and the bed. We also screwed the Trofast to the Kura bed to make it more sturdy and stable.
We love it and hope you do too.

What is the landing made of? At the top of the stairs before getting onto the bunk bed?
awesome job! i have a special needs child who fears ladders but wants a low loft. steps for most bunks are steep and narrow. your idea is fantastic and it's a perfect alternative to what is currently available. thanks for posting your creative idea.
Love this! Great hack and so very glad you shared this! But I very much agree with others above who have pointed out the negligent, pardon my use of that term here, construction method. For this age of child development, I would assume the use of two rails with the upper rail higher than what is shown. I understand the desire to align with the top rail of the standard bunk, but another solution keeping with the proportion of the original bed can easily be found. All this while the upper bed has the same problem with respect to allowing one to fall into head injuries and similar to what is possible on the staircase itself! Taking the rail supports to the ceiling is, by far, ludicrous and absurd, unless you're Carlo Scarpa and this is Castle Vecchio. Pah-leez. If we are to make this totally safe then we, as another suggested before me, should just get out the bubble wrap and call it a day.

I am going to modify this, I am a young adult with some mobility issues, I also have space issues and a full bed. A loft bed is something I have been wanting but none of the fulls have stairs attached.
This is a great hack – i just got the bed & am off to ikea for the Trofast system. deff love the carpet squares idea. i liked the railing because it was cute, forget for safety – it'll end up a monkeybar in my house anyway. the whole reason i wanted the kura bed is because it is lower & there for less distance for the INEVITABLE falls. kids are kids and will climb and fall off anything. put the posts to the ceiling??? u'll end up w/ a pole dancer & an eye sore in ur room. GREAT IDEA & GREAT JOB!
As usual, the Paranoia League of Everything Baby have spewed their fearmongering all over a great hack!
I only have this to say: I will be buying a Trofast system from IKEA and then hacking it like you have! If my kids fall off it, they'll be a bit sad about it, but they'll get over it, because that's how life works.
Love the hack, you've done a wicked good job!
I have been searching for this exact"make-up" and toying with the KURA bed and now, I can't even wait for Spring so I can make it over the mountain and get this going. My twin boys will be so freaking excited.
As for safety, my twin crushed his thumb in a public bathroom stall and then jumps from the counters. I love this site and this is a GREAT hack. Thank you
Great hack! I'm interested in using the TROFAST as stairs for myself. Any adults have any experience on the TROFAST stairs? I'm wondering how much weight it supports, and how well they will hold up to regular use…
Did you ever get an answer to your question? I might use this Trofast hack to make steps for my 5 year old son but want to make sure it will support his weight as he grows into teenagehood.
Rule of thumbs, if your child cant use the stock ladder provided by the manufacturer with the bed, it's because he's too young to sleep into this bed safely.
That said, without considering the original problem (kids cant use the ladder yet) as the starting point for this idea, this is a great hack. A good idea to incorporate some storage into a small bedroom. I like.
Sure all of the safety comments are voted as over reacting. Ladders are not safe either. The kiddos pictured seem too young to be up that high. But to each his own you will learn the same way the older gen did trial and error.
Love it! I want to do this, but wanted to ask how it was holding up to the kids so far? I was at Ikea today (picked up the Kura and some other necessities) and the guy helping us was concerned about the weight and stress that the tops of the shelf would take on. I can't wait to go back to Ikea and get a better step system for this bed. : )
Awesome. I'll be doing that!
So, I commented earlier about how we did this for my daughter and didn't use rails. Six months later and we haven't had one accident and it's been rail-free. I did however find carpet squares, cut them to size and put them on top of the bookshelf so that they weren't slippery which I believe made all the difference.
I was just thinking about doing something like this today for my daughter! I will read the safety suggestions mor carefully before I do. I was thinking something solid instead of rails.
My husband weighs about 250lbs and my son that sleeps in the bed weighs about 50 and they've slept in it together a few times so I would say you'll be fine!
Your comment was about the bed but I just want to confirm…your husband uses the storage stairs to get up? We are thinking about doing this for our son I just want to make sure the Trofast can support the added weight as my 6 year old grows into a teen.
i love this hack well done, we just bought a new bed for our daughter but if i'd seen this beforehand i would've done it. i think its fab, and i have no safety concerns at all with it, safer than just leaving as the ladders after all great idea and when we have the next one i will definatly bear this in mind.
Awesome! I have two boys and always wanted to buy this bed! I already have the storage unit you used as stairs. Thank you so much for sharing and I will definitely keep the safety issues in mind if and when I attempt my hack. Lol!
Great!! My son is 4 so he can climb anything without me worrying. I will leave the railing off.
But it adds a perfect space saving climbing rack to the bed, great idea!
I am wondering how much weight you think this particular unit could handle walking up and down it. I would like to do this for my tween daughter but she is a lot heavier than the children shown here.
I weigh 240 lbs and I walk on the unit as steps. It is pretty strong.
Have you also sat or laid on this bed? I need to know the weight limit, but they don't have that online.. Getting for my son, but on those nights he crawls into our bed, I need a place to sleep .. Lol.. Wondering if the top will hold 150 lbs…..
Ikea site has info on the weight limits for Kura and the pine Trofast… think its abt 250 LBS on the Kura
amazing how many safety comments – today i caught my three year old jumping off a foot stool in the lounge which is about the height of the second step on the storage set… i think when we flip her bed we shall use this idea without any handrails … she will be jumping from the top soon enough
Hey! I did this hack. But… I'll be honest. I used the storage as stairs and didn't use a railing at all. I put carpet squares on the steps. My daughter fell from the regular ladder that was there three times. The stairs she can get up and down just fine and it's less dangerous for her. I'm going to put a bar on the wall side for her to hold on as she goes up and down. I feel like the rail on the other side though just screams, "Slide down me! Flip on me! Do something potentially more dangerous on me!" And the wood is thin in some areas. If she uses the railing and the nails come out or something, then she's going down anyway.
I love this idea, I will do the same.
What about those sandpaper stickers? Or make your own! They'd stop sock feet from slipping! I also had this idea and I'm so glad someone else did and I've got some good feedback to go on now – thanks! Great minds think alike!
This is a great hack. The one thing I can think of (aside from fixing the railing a bit) is to put something to grip on for their feet. Maybe the stuff you put under rugs or as shelf liner? Those suckers are very slick!
i love this idea!!! i have a question i want to get that same bedding for my boys but will it fit a twin size bed?? i haven't sen it in person just online
Its a regular twin length matress! Own this bed & love it!
I saw this wonderful hack and the first thing i thought of was: "Sure there will be a bunch of people deeming this hack being dangerous for children."
And boy, was i right…
You know what? A kid might fall over this, sure, but then again this is a completely normal thing for kids to do. I've come to the conclusion that this over-caring is a new trend in childcare, and i suspect that the problems this causes are way more severe than falling from a few feet height down to a carpet.
exactly not being funny but my kids r accident pro and r constently falling over. hello if i rushed over to them of made a big fuss they would be scarred of hurting them self. my oldest is 2 and if he trips while walking/running he just gets up and gives umself a rub whats the point of wrapping kids in bubble wrap
My little boy would love this. The only problem I can see is that the wood might be a little hard on young ones knees. But a bit of soft carpet on top of each step will sort that right out.
But fair play to you it is a really good build.
Thanks for showing us this. It is something I have had in my head for a while but now you have done it we can all see how to do it a little better! Thanks for the inspiration.
Also I have toyed with putting a toddler bed under KURA myself toso it is goo to see it in action.
I saw this hack and thinking: I want this for my daughter too!!! I will amend the rail as the second anonymus explain, but the hack is really really cool!!!! Like it!! Thank you for this nice idea.
I think it's a great hack, but I can totally see a kid trying to jump from that first part to the actual first step, coming down on it and biting their tongue badly. Or coming down, not hitting the step right, it falls down, and the kid falls and hits their head. The first part should be a secured step, too.
I also had safety concerns when I first saw the pics on my RSS Feed. At that time, I didn't see the rail height issue. What conerns me are that the posts are "sticking" out over the hand rail. A childs clothing (or whatever the may be playing with) could catch on a pole and strangle the child in the event of a fall.
I like your concept, and therefore I'd suggest that you replace the poles with longer ones that run all the way to the ceiling, and then anchor them there as well. Then you could also do several multiple height rails.
I agree with the whole center of gravity thing and moving the rail inside, but what caught my attention, too, was the posts sticking up over the handrail. Serious choking hazard if one of the kids fall and shirt or anything like that catches on it. Even moving the handrail up to the top, flush with the top of the posts, on the inside would solve most of these issues.
They're not ever-reacting. That railing is not high enough for the smaller of the two kids, let alone the taller one. Commenter # 2 gave an exact description of what needs to be fixed. All that (existing) handrail is going to do is ensure a head first fall.
Oh, BTW – Great hack! Really.
The ladder that comes with the bed is no safer. You could misstep on the way down and fall. Quick get the bubblewrap!
Thats not the point, point is that the chances of a "head first" fall is greater, with the railing. It is a great hack, but needs modification
sorry i fell down alot more ladders than i did stairs grown up and fair enoughth it may be a bit small but i have tjese units and my 2 year old and ne year old climb them all the time and have never fell
Common folks! No kid who use the regular Kura bed ladder doesn't fall from. The ladder and the bed are higher than this one. So instead of screaming "danger, poor child", say "wow, what a great hack". You are just overreacting.
Glad I'm not the only one that cringed when looking at that railing, don't let the kids near it until you fix it!
I think its a cool hack! maybe you could just add another rail above the existing one to fix the problem the people before me mentioned but i dont understand physics so yeah
I love the idea and im sure as a child I would have loved to have my own stairs in my room, which would have prevented the many falls when I wasnt taking care when going up or down the ladder to my bed.
I agree with anonymous. Looking at the top step, the 'handrail' is more likely to knock her legs out from under her if she were to trip, rather than stop her from going over the edge if she were to stumble, as intended.
It's a potentially great hack, with just a little modification.
Just a small note: The railings appear to be below your daughter's center of gravity (approximately the navel).
In the event of a slip or trip, your daughter can easily fall over the railing and the lower railing will actually increase the chances of a head-first fall. In order for the railing to be effective, it needs to be more than 1/2 the height of the person climbing the stairs, and 2.5 – 3 times the height of the next stair.
Additionally, the handrail should be mounted on the inside of the bannister rails, so that any pulling or pushing force towards the outside of the stairwell is against the supports instead of relying only on the screws.
My suggestion is to move the handrail inside the vertical supports, and place a second rail across the top of the supports.
This provides a more secure railing for when someone tries to climb up outside the railing (kids will be kids, after all) and greatly decreases the chances of falling over.
love it

Martin Luther King Jr. celebration planned by Emporia State University and communityJanuary 15, 2013
A daylong celebration of the life of Martin Luther King Jr. is planned for Monday, Jan. 21, 2013. The 2013 Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration is organized by Emporia State University's Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Committee.
The day's events will include featured children's group facilitator Jacqueline Corbett of Junction City and guest speaker, the Rev. Delmar White, a pastor from Lawrence. Several Emporia State University students and the Lyon County RSVP Retired Seniors will volunteer and participate in the event.
The Celebration March will begin at 5 p.m. at Emporia State University's Plumb Hall and head to St. James Missionary Baptist Church, 730 Sylvan St., where the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Dinner begin at 5:30 p.m. These events are open to the public and are free.
Corbett was raised in Clewiston, Fla., or "on de muck" as referred by Zora Neale Hurston. A baby of the civil rights movement, she loves to travel and visit many historical sites such as the Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., and the 16th St. Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. In 2012, she established Mahogany Threads Quilting Group in Junction City after visiting the famous Gee's Bend Quilters in Gee's Bend, Ala., and learning from Lucy Mingo. Corbett is also a writer and has performed in the production of "Crowns" in the Junction City Little Theatre as well as having a number of her plays about the civil rights movement premiere in the community. She has dedicated her life to educating the youth in her community about the importance of knowing their history and taking pride in their heritage. She and her husband, Chris, have been married 30 years have three children and one granddaughter.
White was born in Lawrence on March 5, 1964, to the late Curtis and Dorene White. Delmar White received his early education in the Lawrence public school system where he graduated from Lawrence High School in May 1982. He accepted Christ and was baptized at the age of 11. He accepted his call into the gospel ministry in the year of 1982, where he preached his trial sermon on Father's Day. He was licensed to preach in 1982 and ordained in 1992 by the First Regular Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of the Revs. R.L. Yates and Calvin Jackson Jr. White has served on various boards and received numerous awards including the M.L.K. Jr. Citizen of the Year award and the Kansas Department of Corrections Citizen of the Year award. White has been married to the former Carmen L. Brown for 26 years and has three children.

==Mesh joint deformation==
When modeling appendages that will need to deform in animation, remember that at least two rings that circle the entire diameter are needed to maintain volume. The first example has three rings in the front, that merge into two in the back. The top look is 100% weighted to the top bone, the bottom 100% to the bottom bone, but the middle half look is a 50/50 split between the two. This is the best solution with the lowest poly usage. If you have to go lower than that, two full rings are necessary like in the middle example. The top look is weighted to the top bone, and the bottom loop to the bottom bone. This ensures both sides of the joint maintain their volume. The last example is what to avoid. It'd two rings that merge into one in the back. The merged area is given 50/50 weighting, and you can see that it collapses the volume of the joints. Always maintain two rings if you can.
Revision as of 22:14, 20 September 2007
Best Practices for Artists
Use proper and common scale for every model. Coordinate this with your coder. Usually 1 unit in your 3d program = 1 meter.
Keep the center of the object in the middle of the mesh or at bottom, not any arbitrary spot. Remember that rotation and moving of the model is calculated using the center point.
|You can do it automatically by clicking the "Centre" button in Editing (F9) -> Mesh tab.
Moving, rotating and scaling is only for level making. If you are modelling a single object - do not use any transformations. Keep your object in neutral position and rotation. If you did any transformations, then use some option to apply it to the vertices positions.
|Use Transfrom -> Clear/Apply -> Clear Location and Transfrom -> Clear/Apply -> Apply Scale/Rotation (CTRL+A).
In the front view you should see the back of your model. (The CEL camera is specific, if you use this, main characters which use the camera should be facing toward you, then).
Do not use random names like Object_031, mesh13_, blackblack_23_, 01_-_material_new2. Coordinate naming with your coder.
If your project is using the zone manager, or you are keeping all your maps loaded in memory at one time - remember, don't use duplicate names for anything in your entire project. If you use duplicate names you will have guaranteed conflicts. It's better if you use unique names for everything that you can name in your entire project, even if they're in separate maps.
|Be careful about the default naming convention that Blender uses for mesh factories.
Use png, it's compressed, it's lossless, and it has 8bit alpha.
Do not use jpg (except for textures that really don't require a lot of detail, but note that even in this case it is best to keep the source image as png because otherwise you loose quality everytime the texture is edited). Coordinate it with your coder, he will decide which textures should be lossy compressed, and which not.
Between each unwrapped part of your model leave gaps of about 2 pixels wide, especially where there is stark colour changes. Otherwise you'll get colour 'leaking' at far away distances.
Usually it is best to paint textures at the target resolution you intend to use them at as they will look better- resizing does not always look optimal and can destroy details that can be done with pixel pushing.
Photograph textures usually contain too much lighting information and will most likely look odd when they conflict with the levels lighting. Imagine a cube with a the same texture on all sides with lighting info- not all the sides should have the light come from the same direction. To reduce this, take photographs during days when the sun is more diffuse and use post processing.
Also use textures that are a power of 2. For example 256x128 and not 256x130. In the latter case, CS will resize this texture internally, which sometimes can look rather ugly.
At release time, switch to DDS with dxt compression, I can't think of any case in which dxt5 is harmfull, it can handle layers/mipmaps, 8bit transparency, and more importantly, it's the same format as used by the graphics card, meaning textures load faster.
DDS compression types:
DXT1 opaque - compression ratio 8:1 - most popular for standard textures
DXT3 sharp alpha - compression ratio 4:1 - for textures with explicit alpha
DXT5 smooth alpha - compression ratio 4:1 - for textures with interpolated alpha
As of right now (march 2007), there is no graphics chip which can store a texture bigger than 4096x4096 (1024x8192 doesn't work either). Don't worry about textures that are too large -- if they don't fit in the graphics memory then CS will automatically downscale the texture.
|You can have image.png and image.dds in the same folder, use the png for blender inthe viewport, at export time, b2cs will pick up the dds in order to use it in CS.
|DDS plugin: gimp 1.2 (read only) and better one gimp 2.0.
Every per-pixel lighted material needs a normalmap. If you don't have a baked normalmap for your model, then at least use a fake plain normalmap (just a picture with the color 127, 127, 255).
You can use two transparency modes:
1. Smooth variable alpha.
- Does smoothly varying continuous alpha, but can cause ordering problems where sometimes your object will appear behind objects that should be behind it. In this case you need to set the zmode to ztest or use binary alpha instead.
2. Binary mode full opaque/full transparent.
- Binary mode is faster (use <alpha><binary/></alpha>). To tag transparent pixels you can use the transparency support in formats like png or keycolor. For keycolor, usually people are using "crazy pink" red=255 green=0 blue=255.
To avoid an ugly outline (halo effect) in transparent textures - use premultiplied alpha. Find this option in your 2d/3d program.
Transparent billboards should be rendered in per vertex light with a fixed renderstep. Also note that realtime shadows doesn't respect your alpha chanel, it will cast the whole mesh shape. Think about it before designing your game.
|If you are rendering billboards with transparency use Scene (F10) -> "Premul" button.
Generally when building larger levels you will want to build atomized objects so that the person compositing the levels can easily fit pieces together in the level editor. This means that each object should piece together nicely (often by being a discrete size) and the object centers should be appropriate too. Textures should also tile appropriately over the object.
Be aware of holes between objects and terrain. In objects like a tree/house etc. it's a good idea to prepare an extended bottom about 0.5 m under the ground line.
|To make a tilable texture use the bulit-in "Make seamless" or better Resynthesizer plugin.
10 objects with 10000 polygons for each - is faster than 10000 objects with 10 polygons each. The same thing applies with materials. For one object, use one big texture with many unwrapped faces, it's better than a couple of textures. Of course sometimes it's impossible because you need one shader effect for glass and another for a car body, for example.
Avoid overlapping faces. In realtime rendering it makes an ugly flickering effect called "z-fighting". Instead of intersections, it's better to add a couple of connecting faces between surfaces.
There are no double-sided surfaces. Every polygon has one side determined by its normal. Keep your normals pointing in the proper direction. If you need a double-sided surface then just copy and flip your polygons. In this case don't worry about the previous rule -- the overlapping polygons are facing in different directions and won't cause "z-fighting" problems.
|You can double all your faces automatically by setting Render -> Twosided.
|Many times you need to have specific double sided faces on the same mesh. To do so, in edit mode select the faces you wish to make double sided, duplicate them (Shift-D) and flip the normals opposite (press W for menu-> Flip Normals). If the model is not yet finished you may wish to separate the flipped face off (P-> Separate Selected) for easier working with the geometry.
|Blender has no support for selectively creating double-sided faces, so when you need a few faces in a mesh to be double-sided (as opposed to the whole mesh), you can triangulate the faces (CTRL+T) and then recreate the triangles on the opposite side and flip their normals if needed.
Triangle fans
Avoid triangle fans and thin polygons. It looks ugly in realtime rendering. The ideal shape should be close to a grid.
|You can try automatically reorganizing your faces to optimal using Edit -> Faces -> Beautify Fill (ALT, F).
Sometimes because of optimization reasons objects need to be closed. Some shaders (real time shadows with normal maps and everything) also require closed objects to render properly. Coordinate closing objects with your coder.
|To find internal faces, switching on 'Solid' rendering mode and switching to face select mode (F) should offer some clues by shading faces gold coloured.
Smooth groups
If you need a visible seam on your mesh then split the polygon's vertices. But if not needed - don't double your vertices.
|To split a vertex into two use Edit -> Vertices -> Rip (VKEY). To clean doubled vertices use Edit -> Vertices -> Remove Doubles (W, 5).
Mesh joint deformation
When modeling appendages that will need to deform in animation, remember that at least two rings that circle the entire diameter are needed to maintain volume. The first example has three rings in the front, that merge into two in the back. The top look is 100% weighted to the top bone, the bottom 100% to the bottom bone, but the middle half look is a 50/50 split between the two. This is the best solution with the lowest poly usage. If you have to go lower than that, two full rings are necessary like in the middle example. The top look is weighted to the top bone, and the bottom loop to the bottom bone. This ensures both sides of the joint maintain their volume. The last example is what to avoid. It'd two rings that merge into one in the back. The merged area is given 50/50 weighting, and you can see that it collapses the volume of the joints. Always maintain two rings if you can.
Terrain ignores your uv's. They are internally generated by the engine. Basemap and Materialmap just fully cover the terrain mesh, and for Splats, uv's make a regular grid. The scale of this grid is set in the shader variable.
If you made a terrain mesh and generated a heightmap, then the result in the game will always be a little bit different to your original mesh, especially at hill-side. Also check the bounds of your Heightmap, sometimes it has unneeded holes.
Heightmap encoding is: red * 65536 + green * 256 + blue
Use the foliage plugin to make grass, it can use a material map to choose where the grass, trees, and rocks will be. Use a material map to chose which texture will be displayed on the ground, at which place, in such a case, more than 4-5 textures will probably kill your framerate.
You can easily make your Materialmap by reducing your Basemap's colors to the number of Splats.
|b2cs automatically renders a heightmap, basing it on the mesh you tag as 'terrain'.
For geometry Crystal Space uses it's own file format and a couple of popular formats: 3ds, cal3d, md2. If you want to use 100% of the features it's better to use the native CS format. Actually, exporting from Blender is the best supported. If you work in a team and members are using several 3d programs - exchange models between them in any popular format like Collada or Wavefront Obj.
If often switching between applications, Obj may be the best option, it's very simple, and it's supported by most applications. Collada is XML based and supports a lot of things. As a downside it is difficult to write a parser for it and, as it's quite recent, not all applications have support for it yet. However at a later point, it is supposed to be _the_ interchange format.
|Collada plugin is built-in.

WOMENS: Horsham claim Indoor crown21-Mar-2013
Horsham CC Women were crowned the champions of the second Women's Indoor League recently at The Deans Leisure Centre in Rottingdean.
The league was introduced by the Sussex Cricket Board last season. It had four clubs involved and saw Ansty CC as the first winners. This year the league was sponsored by the Deans Leisure Centre itself with seven clubs taking part; Ansty, Bells Yew Green, Chippingdale, Henfield, Horsham, Selsey and Steyning.
There were two leagues, with the winners which were Horsham and Ansty then competing in a final to determine the league champions.
Horsham batted first and posted 111 for 1, with Hannah Phelps, Jessica Saunders and Charlotte Walder all having to retire on 25.
Ansty kept up with the run rate with captain Natasha Sole retiring, but Horsham kept taking wickets at regular times and bowled and fielded tightly.
With Ansty needing 12 off the last over, Horsham kept the field tight and restricted Ansty to only four to win by eight runs and claim the champions' tag.
Sussex Women & Girls community coach, Charlotte Burton, who runs the league said, "It is great to see more clubs involved this year and to have the support from the Deans Leisure Centre, which has helped make the league a success.
"The league enables the clubs to play more cricket throughout the year and it is a highly competitive league which helps develop player's skills ready for the summer matches. It will continue next year where we hope to have more clubs involved again."

2012-13 tuition among lowest in KansasJune 21, 2012
With approval Wednesday of Emporia State University's tuition plan for the coming academic year, the regional institution retains its status as offering the second lowest tuition among Regents universities in the state.
The Kansas Board of Regents approved the plan during its meeting Wednesday in Topeka. Tuition at Emporia State University for the 2012-13 academic year will increase a minimum of $119 per, depending on a student's residency and educational status.
For in-state undergraduate students at Emporia State, tuition for 2012-13 will cost $2,051 per semester, the second-lowest tuition for the six universities in the Regents system.
"Our tuition and budget committee worked hard to minimize the increase in tuition," said Dr. Michael D. Shonrock, president of Emporia State University. "I'm happy that Emporia State continues to be a good value for Kansas residents. Our value coupled with our flat rate tuition and generous scholarship package means that our university offers its students the best of a quality education at an affordable price."
The additional tuition revenue is needed to offset mandatory increases in group health insurance and retirement benefits. Other initiatives the tuition and budget committee identified — including a new tuition waiver plan — are being funded through other resources.
Under the tuition-waiver plan, spouses and dependents of Emporia State employees could have 20 to 100 percent of their tuition waived if they are full-time, degree-seeking students who maintain at least a 2.5 grade point average each semester. Employees become eligible to apply for the waiver after completing one year of employment.
The amount of the waiver is tied to the number of years of service to the university. A full tuition waiver is available after completing five years on the job. Qualifying students would still be required to pay the approved student fees.
Emporia State already offers tuition assistance for employees.
"The new tuition waiver plan will help us recruit and retain talented faculty and staff who are so vital to the success of Emporia State," Shonrock said. "This allows us to recognize all of our employees and reward them for their hard work."

Living with diabetes can be difficult and frustrating. Sometimes, even when you've done everything right, your blood sugar levels may rise. But stick with your diabetes management plan, and you'll likely see a positive difference in your A1C when you visit your doctor.
Because good diabetes management can be time-consuming, and sometimes overwhelming, some people find it helps to talk to someone. Your doctor can probably recommend a mental health professional for you to speak with, or you may want to try a support group. Sharing your frustrations and your triumphs with people who understand what you're going through can be very helpful. And you may find that others have great tips to share about diabetes management.
Your doctor may know of a local support group, or you can call the American Diabetes Association at 800-DIABETES (800-342-2383) or the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation at 800-533-CURE (800-533-2873).

Hi Seiryu,
Thanks for sharing!
You breathe in air that was produced by a tree and the tree "breathes" in air that was produced by your lungs.
I think we could already consider ourselves to be one organism.
What about the urine we produce everyday? It will go back to the hydrological cycle. Eventually, it will become rain. Perhaps rain that falls on your lawn? It becomes part of your lawn.
When you mow, you mow yourself. When you breathe, you breathe yourself.
Things appear to be different, but actually they are one. Different, but not separate.
When you die, you still are yourself. Just different manifestation(s).
No need to plant anything - you are everything anyway.

Much better than my Manhattan friend whose father requested that his ashes be tossed into his favorite Hudson River. Standing at the rail next to the river my friend solemnly opened the urn to pour the ashes into the water. While whispering, "Goodbye,Dad", the wind changed and blew all the ashes back onto my friend's clothing.
Not being fazed,my friend energetically brushed his sleeves saying, "GoodBYE Dad! *brush,brush* "GoodBYE Dad!!. . . .

Hi Entai,
Absolutely!However, most funeral arrangements, etc. are done for the benefit of those grieving. So, if it comforts someone's heart, I say why not?
For someone non-Buddhist the thought of becoming a tree can be very comforting indeed!
no thing needs to be added
Love it!!!!Not being fazed,my friend energetically brushed his sleeves saying, "GoodBYE Dad! *brush,brush* "GoodBYE Dad!!. . . .
In fact, we are ... already right now ... the metal and plastic and wood of our store bought casket, the water and waves of the burial at sea ... the hungry birds for a Tibetan sky burial ... the sky and fire of cremation. Now, then, ever so and ever was.
That being said, yes, funerals are so much about the hearts of the grieving family and friends. So, whatever speaks to them can be fine.
Also, a bio-degradable pot and seed seems nicer for the environment of this fragile planet than all that metal and plastic, or all that cremation smoke. Not a bad idea.
Gassho, J
I spread my father's ashes in a beautiful mountain in Utah. As I was doing so, a gust of wind caused a change of direction where I was dispersing his ashes and some of them wound up in my lungs and stomach. I inhaled and ate my dad! :-[

As was mentioned, funerals are for those families left behind. And this, to me, is a beautiful way for those family and friends to stay connected to their love ones in a more organic fashion. Seeing a breathing living tree as opposed to a grave stone or ashes.
This is a wonderful idea I feel ... there are a couple funeral homes that I know of that also planet a tree in your honour when you pass. A beautiful expression. =)
倫道 真現
As a trainee priest, please take any commentary by me on matters of the Dharma with a pinch of salt.
Hi again,
Just one thing I'd like to add.
IMHO it is also important to respect the last wish(es) of the one who died.
My parents have told me how they want things to be handled when they die, and I will respect their wishes.
Even if they wanted to have a Catholic funeral (which they don't) I'd accept it.
But I guess that's for each one to decide personally.
no thing needs to be added
I will say now what I would like, just in case. No fancy Buddhist funeral for me with guys in funny hats and expensive flower arrangements.
I told my wife to take me to the cheapest local crematorium, put half my ashes in the back yard and half on Tsukuba Mountain.
I hope some of you guys, if around, would Chant the Heart Sutra, then sit a day of Zazen with people joining in all around the world.
Then, have a party, eat something, maybe have a drink (if one drinks, and only in moderation) ... and get on with life. Hang a photo of me someplace, but let the memory fade away with time.
Gassho, Jundo

I thought Zen Masters are immortal - this practice must have at least one purpose, right?
OK, seriously, I don't want to think about that day right now (or other people's day X). Although death is an illusion, it still makes me sad.
no thing needs to be added
When I die, I wish my ashes be brewed in tea for all to drink....lol..
But I agree with Jundo there.
A funeral, in my opinion, should celebrate the Life, not mourn the passing.
I have a fear of fire, the thought of being cremated is quite disturbing to me. I wish to be buried as I lived, with simplicity. No fancy funeral, nothing religious, no huge flower arrangements, just the people that I was honoured to share my life with, gathered together to celebrate my life, comfort each other.
Circle completed.
Never having ended at all.
One thing I appreciated greatly and learn a lot from the time I was with Tibetan Buddhism is there meditations on Death.
And one thing they practice in their death meditations is visualizations of your own death. From sickness all the way to either being buried or cremated. Although it sound grim, it gave me the chance to see exactly how much fear and resistance I still had regarding death. Sometimes it helps to look right into that which disturbs us greatly.
Just some of my irrelevant ramblings....
Case 55 from the Blue Cliff Record
Gassho, JDogo and Zen-gen went to a house to show sympathy at a funeral. Zen-gen hit the coffin and asked, "Alive or dead?" Dogen replied, "I won't say alive, I won't say dead." Zen-gen demanded, " Why won't you say?" Dogo repeated, "I won't say." On their way home, Zen-gen cried, "Tell me right now teacher, alive or dead; if you don't tell me, I will hit you." Dogo said, "You may hit me, but I won't say." Zen-gen hit him.
Later after Dogo died, Zen-gen went to Seki-so and told him the foregoing story. Seki-so said, "I won't say alive, and I won't say dead." Zen-gen said, " Why won't you say?" Seki-so repeated, "I won't say, I won't say." At these words Zen-gen came to awakening.
One day, Zen-gen took a hoe into the Buddha hall and crossed back and forth, from east to west and west to east. Seki-so asked, "What are you doing?" Zen-gen said," I am looking for my teacher's relics." Seki-so said, "Vast waves spread far and wide, foaming billows flood the skies - what relics of our late master are you looking for?"
Zen-gen said, "It is a way of repaying the kindness of my old teacher." Fu of T'ai Yuan said, "The late masters relics are still present. "
and neither are they otherwise.
If I am turn in to a tree, that means someday after I am forgotten I could end up being a piece of furniture or a box pencils. Hmmm, I am not sure how I feel about that, lol.
Thich Nhat Hanh has this lovely description of what he calls "interbeing" ...
Gassho, JIf you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper. Without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. The cloud is essential for the paper to exist. If the cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. So we can say that the cloud and the paper inter-are. Interbeing is a word that is not in the dictionary yet, but if we combine the prefix inter- with the verb to be, we have a new verb, inter-be.
If we look into this sheet of paper even more deeply, we can see the sunshine in it. Without sunshine, the forest cannot grow. In fact, nothing can grow without sunshine. And so, we know that the sunshine is also in this sheet of paper. The paper and the sunshine inter-are. And if we continue to look, we can see the logger who cut the tree and brought it to the mill to be transformed into paper. And we see wheat. We know the logger cannot exist without his daily bread, and therefore the wheat that became his bread is also in this sheet of paper. The loggers father and mother are in it too. When we look in this way, we see that without all of these things, this sheet of paper cannot exist.
Looking even more deeply, we can see ourselves in this sheet of paper too. This is not difficult to see, because when we look at a sheet of paper, it is part of our perception. Your mind is in here and mine is also. So we can say that everything is in here with this sheet of paper. We cannot point out one thing that is not here time, space, the earth, the rain, the minerals in the soil, the sunshine, the cloud, the river, the heat. Everything co-exists with this sheet of paper. That is why I think the word inter-be should be in the dictionary. To be is to inter-be. We cannot just be by ourselves alone. We have to inter-be with every other thing. This sheet of paper is, because everything else is.
Suppose we try to return one of the elements to its source. Suppose we return the sunshine to the sun. Do you think that this sheet of paper will be possible? No, without sunshine nothing can be. And if we return the logger to his mother, then we have no sheet of paper either. The fact is that this sheet of paper is made up only of non-paper elements. And if we return these non-paper elements to their sources, then there can be no paper at all. Without non-paper elements, like mind, logger, sunshine and so on, there will be no paper. As thin as this sheet of paper is, it contains everything in the universe in it.

Thank you all for your interest in this thread.
To supplement my initial reaction to this thread which was brought on by memories of late night sessions as a funeral services student twenty-five years ago. I'd like to also share some further thoughts. We would debate eco/bio methods of handling/treating dead human remains. And, we studied the governing regulations regarding the interface between cemeteries and funeral homes. Conflicts of interest abound and to understand them better we need to separate the funeralization process from the disposal means.
Regardless of whether paper, trees or sunshine exist. The fact remains that we have biodegradable bodies that need a place to decompose. So, for eons there have been burial rites. The wooden coffin (no metal handles or hinges) sufficed for the longest time and everyone went along with it to the point where it is thought of as traditional behavior. Until of course, we began to appreciate ramifications to land usage as a resource. So, confronted with the alternative of cremation, slowly the tradition begins to change. The use of tree memorials seems to placate the supporters of the Traditional Funeral. Trees are important, They convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. Without there would be no life on our planet. Finally, we have a solution that utilizes the cremation left overs (ashes) as direct food for the tree and funeral director and cemetery operator can perhaps share in the profits. It should be pointed out that the psychological trauma of "picking up the ashes" left Funeral homes with the huge problem of storage; racks and racks of 'cremains' in plastic urns line the basement halls of many a funeral home, waiting for some family member (who has likely passed on themselves) to pick them up..
Creatively packaged with a reasonable price point, it should sell well. I wish Ward's every success. Owing to their being long standing members of the established funeral industry in the Greater Toronto Area, I am quite sure this strategy has be well thought out. (and I'm also willing to wager that Bates Caskets also have an investment in this venture.)

Rebirth. Though I imagine whether or not one go through this Bio Urn, we will all be reborn in that way, become the air, the water, the earth, the fire. part of many living things, maybe one day return back to the ancient universe and be part of a star. I dont know...
Thank you for sharing.
Ufff!! I love the idea.
Thanks for sharing.
Dancing between stillness and motion I find peace.
1) This is beautiful. I think I will put it in my will.
2) I'm also with Jundo in that I don't need a fancy ceremony. However, fancy hats will be encouraged at my service and my ashes should be thrown out of an airplane over a nice drop zone
It's all good to wish your ashes to be tossed here or there but in deference to your surviving loved ones you should allow them to have a place to mourn; a place for remembrance.

I would go for it, but it might freak out my husband. Also, there is the risk that the seed doesn't sprout, or the tree dies. Many saplings don't make it to tree stage. That would be a big disappointment for surviving loved ones.
Actually I want my ashes buried without an urn. Make a hole, dump it in. Then whatever wants to grow will grow. Grass, weeds, flowers, veggies, all good
I like that idea!! This entire conversation sure does put life into perspective. Personally, I would like to have a place to go to mourn wherever my loved ones are buried, as Shokai said. But expensive tombstones and sunken earth where a coffin has been buried has always seemed so morbid to me. The thought of visiting a place where grass, weeds etc. etc. are just seems more comforting, more in tune with the ways things are supposed to be.
Sunken graves should no longer be a problem since most cemeteries now drop a fiberglass vault over the casket before closing the grave.
(OR of course you can always purchase a $10K cement Wilber vault) But, I do know of many folks who have left/spread ashes in some quaint place where the deceased had claimed they wanted to be and now the surviving family members find in a real hardship to get back to that place.

I think the events that happen after ones death really only mean something to those who stay behind. I would have them do whatever helps them continue.
Several funerals I attended were 'dictated' by the deceased, and most of them left the friends and relatives still in need of finding a way to cope. The ones that were put together by the relatives themselves served as a way of coping and actually opened the doors to their further lives again. It's a big difference.
And if you do care about what happens with your remains after your death, you may as well trust your friends and relatives to do what they think would suit you best.
I gave my wife the suggestion to play this message on my funeral, but only if my relatives feel it's right

Skin redness or inflammation; Skin lesion; Rubor; Skin rash; Erythema
A simple rash is called dermatitis, meaning inflammation of the skin. Contact dermatitis is caused by things your skin touches, such as:
Seborrheic dermatitis is a rash that appears in patches of redness and scaling around the eyebrows, eyelids, mouth, nose, the trunk, and behind the ears. If it happens on your scalp, it is called dandruff in adults and cradle cap in infants.
Age, stress, fatigue, weather extremes, oily skin, infrequent shampooing, and alcohol-based lotions aggravate this harmless but bothersome condition.
Other common causes of a rash include:
Many medical conditions can cause a rash as well. For example:
Most simple rashes will improve with gentle skin care and avoiding irritating substances. Follow these general guidelines:
Hydrocortisone cream (1%) is available without a prescription and may soothe many rashes. If you have eczema, apply moisturizers over your skin. Try oatmeal bath products, available at drugstores, to relieve symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, or shingles.
Call 911 if:
Call your health care provider if:
Your health care provider will perform a physical examination and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms. Questions may include:
Tests may include:
Depending on the cause of your rash, treatments may include medicated creams or lotions, medications taken by mouth, or skin surgery.
Many primary care providers are comfortable dealing with common rashes, but for more complicated skin disorders, a referral to a dermatologist may be necessary.

The beautiful region of our Mountain West is home to many of our treasured native plants. Gardeners in the region can easily establish a wild flower meadow, but certain procedures need to be followed.
While elevations and temperature ranges are widely varied, the most important issue is water availability. Wildflowers are tough, but like any plants, to become established, they must have moisture. Most importantly, plant your seed near the beginning of the rainiest season for your area. Planting can be successful in fall or spring.
Our Proven Wildflower Seeds Mixture for the West has been a best-seller in your region for decades, and our premium All-Native Wildflower Mix for the West has even more of the area's native species.

For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, We pledge that we do not knowingly buy, sell or trade genetically engineered seeds or plants.
The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release.

Vietnam is focus of 2011 RoundtableOctober 26, 2011
U.S. troops in Vietnam is the topic of the 2011 Veterans Roundtable, part of Emporia's annual All Veterans Tribute.
This year's Roundtable focuses on "The Vietnam Experience" and will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, in Webb Hall II of Emporia State University's Memorial Union.
Sgt. Maj. Larry Gales will talk about "Two Tours, Two 'Nams." Gales served two tours in Vietnam — 1965-66 and 1968-69.
"Eight Months with the Big Red One" is the topic for Cpl. Russ Estes. He served in Vietnam from 1968-69 with Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division.
Moderator for the event is Capt. Douglas McGaw who served in Vietnam in 1969 with the 1st Infantry Division and later the 1st Air Cavalry Division.

LIPITOR® (atorvastatin calcium) tablets are not for everyone, including anyone who has previously had an allergic reaction to LIPITOR. It is not for those with liver problems. And it is not for women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant.
If you take LIPITOR® (atorvastatin calcium) tablets, tell your doctor if you feel any new muscle pain or weakness. This could be a sign of rare but serious muscle side effects. Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and all medications you take. This may help avoid serious drug interactions. Your doctor should do blood tests to check your liver function before starting LIPITOR and during your treatment if you have symptoms of liver problems. Tell your doctor if you have diabetes. Elevated blood sugar levels have been reported with statins, including LIPITOR.
Common side effects are diarrhea, upset stomach, muscle and joint pain, and changes in some blood tests.
Patients should always ask their doctors for medical advice about adverse events.
You may report an adverse event related to Pfizer products by calling 1-800-438-1985 (US only). If you prefer, you may contact the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) directly. The FDA has established a reporting service known as MedWatch where healthcare professionals and consumers can report serious problems they suspect may be associated with the drugs and medical devices they prescribe, dispense, or use. Visit MedWatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

DUBAI: Sussex make it two wins out of two22-Mar-2013
Sussex Sharks made it two wins out of two this morning at 7he Sevens Stadium in Dubai as they beat the MCC by six wickets, with seven balls to spare in the Emirates Airline Twenty20.
Following yesterday's eight wicket victory over Lancashire at the same venue, the Sharks won the toss and elected to field, restricting the MCC to 115 for 6 from their 20 overs.
Trialist Andrew Miller was the pick of the bowlers for Sussex, taking 2 for 11 whilst the off-spin of Chris Nash yielded 2 for 17. Lewis Hatchett and Chris Jordan picked up a wicket apiece. Joe Denly top-scored for the MCC, hitting an unbeaten 29 whilst Rahul Dravid (26) and Dawid Malan (21) also chipped in.
In reply, Nash and Matt Machan (28) put on 58 for the first wicket before Nash, who made 76 yesterday, was dismissed for 23. Joe Gatting (12) and Rory Hamilton-Brown (29) saw Sussex past the three-figure mark and despite losing two more wickets, the Sharks made their target with seven balls to spare as Ben Brown lifted a big six to win the match.
Sussex - Nash (capt), Brown (wkt), Machan, Hamilton-Brown, Gatting, Wells, Jordan, Rippon, Anyon, Hatchett, Miller
MCC - Dravid (capt), Jimmy Adams (wkt), Northeast, Denly, Benkenstein, Malan, Trego, Eckersley, Middlebrook, Ellison, Kirby

FTI MVP: Anyon currently leading the way for Sussex03-May-2012
Fast bowler James Anyon's fine start to the season sees him ranked as Sussex's top player in the FTI Most Valuable Player (MVP) Rankings.
Anyon is ranked 19th countrywide after scoring 48 runs and taking 13 wickets from three matches so far this season. The former Warwickshire bowler finished 22nd in the LV=County Championship FTI MVP in 2011 with 55 wickets including a five-wicket haul against his old side, and he's already notched two five-wicket hauls in this campaign. His first came at the Kia Oval where he took 5-79 in Surrey's second innings and he followed that up with 5-36 to put the skids under Lancashire's top order in their first innings at Liverpool.
Importantly, with runs at a premium at this time of year, Anyon has also chipped in with the bat making three double-figure contributions (20,12 and 16).For the Sussex FTI MVP Rankings click HERE

Presentation in SerbiaDecember 19, 2013
Dean Gwen Alexander and Interim Associate Dean Andrew Smith recently traveled to Serbia with eight SLIM students to take part in the annual conference sponsored by the Faculty of Philology at the University of Belgrade and to study libraries and librarianship in Serbia.
During the conference, they were presented with a proclamation from the University and a picture of Belgrade, recognizing 10 years of collaboration between the University of Belgrade and Emporia State University. This trip was part of SLIM's continuing commitment to global outreach and is one of many such opportunities offered to SLIM students to expand their understanding of information needs and services across the world.

For security reasons, the European Commission has restricted the transportation of liquids (LAGs – liquids, aerosols and gels) in carry-on baggage when departing at an EU airport. Please note that outside EU, similar regulations regarding liquids may be in force. Such information usually may be obtained at the internet page of the respective airport. LAGs in carry-on baggage shall be presented separately from carry-on baggage at the screening checkpoint.
Liquids in this context includes pastes, lotions, liquid/solid mixtures and the contents of pressurized containers, such as toothpaste, hair gel, drinks, soups, syrups, perfume, shaving foam and other items with similar consistencies.
Please click here for further information on liquids in carry-on baggage.
Basically the above mentioned regulation is also applicable for flights to the U.S.
Passengers traveling internationally into the United States with a connecting flight will be permitted to carry-on liquids more than 100ml, provided they are presented in a secure, tamper-evident bag with a receipt reflecting the purchase was made within 48 hours. The receptacle containing the liquid must be clear, translucent or tinted. Liquids in opaque or metallic receptacles must not be kept on board when transiting, but packed in checked baggage.
Please observe the list of dangerous goods and prohibited articles below.

Router Bits
Router Bit Types
Woodworking has come a long way since the invention of the router and subsequently, router bits. Routers came into use in the early 20th century and have replaced older hand tools such as hammers and chisels used to shape wood. There are many types of router bits to choose from and most have a specific type of use. Some router bits are essential for joinery like when making cabinets and drawers, while others are used strictly for making decorative finishes. Below are the main kinds of router bits and the types of cuts they make in wood.
Flush Trim Router Bits: are typically used to make the surface flush or trim with the edge of another material. An example is making a veneer or plastic laminate surface flush with the wood surface underneath. Ideal uses include finishing and repairing countertops and simple trim and cut-off applications.
Raised Panel Router Bits: are for creating a decorative profiled edge on doors such as cabinet doors. Raised panel bits come in vertical and horizontal configurations with vertical being the most popular among cabinetry makers.
Chamfer Router Bits: produce a beveled edge in wood. Chamfer bits can be used for decorative or joinery purposes or simply for easing exposed edges.
Decorative Edging Bits: include round over bits, cove bits, edge beading bits, and ogee bits. Round over bits create a rounded profile over the edge of a work piece. Cove router bits on the other hand are used to cut out a rounded profile from a work piece. Edge beading bits come in a variety of decorative rounded profiles and are used on edges or corners. Ogee bits make an "S" shaped edge or profile in wood with the Roman ogee bit being the most popular among woodworkers.
Molding Router Bits: are just what the name implies - making the decorative finishes for moldings. Some molding router bits have multiple edge forming profiles incorporated conveniently into one bit. Different profile combinations also create custom profiles for unconventional or special requests.
Stile & Rail Router Bits: usually come as a pair and are used to make frames and paneling when manufacturing doors and cabinets. The term "stile and rail" comes from the stile being the vertical profiled edge and the rail being the horizontal edge that meets the stile to form an assembly.
Joinery Router Bits: are used specifically to join one piece of wood to another. Some common names for joinery bits are: finger joint bits, lock miter bits, tongue and grove bits and dovetail bits. Tongue and groove bits are a pair, one bit cuts a groove into the work piece and the other cuts a tongue that fits exactly into the groove of the opposite piece. Dovetail bits are used in conjunction with dovetail jigs to make joints that require no glue or nails to hold the two pieces of wood together. Joinery bits are essential to the cabinet maker.
Rabbeting Router Bits: produce a rabbet or simply a notch in edge of the wood. A rabbet router bit cuts vertically and horizontally at the same time and features a pilot bearing which determines how deeply it will cut into the wood. These bits can also be used for some joinery applications.
Straight Router Bits: are among the most commonly used router bits. Straight router bits can be used for cutoff, grooving, or dado applications. These can also be used for mortising along with countless other applications.
