the feeding aspect of the school is okay and the dining of the school is also in good shape and position. the structure is well organized and well structured.
Campus Dining:
I do not stay on campus so I rarely eat there.
Campus Dining:
The dining can be better. The Mill in the Union is wonderful. The campus bookstore also has great dorm room friendly foods. The cafeteria isn't the best, however. I've heard that it's going to improve though!
Campus Dining:
Eating in the cafeteria each day gets old. The required meal plan is sometimes a hassle.

Utilising the same design that made the Freehand the choice of World Champions,
the Flying Panda has the extra bonus of flexible, over-molded rubber rims. With
the increased gap width and rim weight, the Flying Panda is ideal for high-speed
string trick play or for off-string play, where the yo-yo isn't even tied to
the string! Designed with input from World and National Champions
Very nice size and feel for off string 4A style the flying panda yoyo features
a wider profile for catches and whip catches. The soft edges are a really great
idea to protect the flying panda yoyo if you were ever to miss that catch .(which
I'm sure you never do). ball bearing axle will give long stable spins
Shape Butterfly / Wing Weight (g) 69.30
Width (mm) 42.18
Diameter (mm) 65.63
Bearing Size 5x10x4
Gap Type Fixed

Four Paws Roam About Tie Out Stake

This was definitely a nice surprise. I didn't expect the high quality and craftsmanship. My 95 pound Lab can't pull this out of the ground and keeps her safe on camping trips.

Kong EZ Clear Elizabethan Collar
Worked Very Well For Me
My dog recently had a growth removed from his eye. The vet sent him home with a cheap white plastic collar that needed to have the belt woven through the collar to fasten it. Not only are these flimsy collars hard to quickly put on and remove, but the thing was huge and floppy and limited the dog's sight so that he was reluctant to move at all. He hated it !! The clear Kong collar is a bit shorter (9 inches as opposed to 10) in depth, but it is more rigid, allows the dog a view of his environment, more comfortable, and is quickly and easily put on and removed with the aid of the Velcro strips. It may not keep a dog with a longer snout from getting at a wound elsewhere on his body, but it worked perfectly for my purpose - keeping him from getting at his eye with his paws. I give it 5 stars for comfort, ease of use and price. Thank you Kong.

Marineland Maxi Jet Water Pump and Powerhead
Fantastic Pump
I have had so many power heads by so many manufacturers over the past decade, top of the line and basic generics... This guy is one of my favorites. Not only does this include everything you need to have a great laminar flow (wave maker, agitate water) but the included parts and connections have everything to make it a quite strong powerhead as well. I have a couple of the 400 models, and a couple spare as well. The max head says 3' or so, but it exceeds that- and few pumps at this price point will deliver that performance. Using it as in laminar mode often creates "mini-tornadoes" that spiral down to the unit...It is very strong, quiet, the suction cups could stick a little better, but that is no deal breaker. I noticed that a part was missing from one box and they were happy to quickly send the part. No issues, has been running non stop for over a year and a half, and still looks new. In no way is the unit cheaply made, everything fits tightly and holds its position. A+ in all respects.

AquaClear Activated Carbon Filter Inserts
I Love This Product
My fish tank was cloudy no mater what I did it stayed cloudy. But the minute I put these in the filter, overnight bam!! what a clear and no smell... Unbelievable how clear the water is right now. Love this product.

Excel Brewers Yeast with Omega 3 Fatty Acids & Garlic Supplement
Quick Improvement In Dog's Coat
I have a 100 lb, 2 year old Akita and he has always been itchy and has had trouble blowing his coat (takes forever) ever since we rescued him. I've used several different liquid omega supplements from Petco and other local pet stores. They sort of worked but I had to give him so much because of his size, it was getting very expensive. I started using these pills over a month ago and I could not speak highly enough of them. I only give my dog 2 pills at each meal, twice a day (not the full 10 pills per day recommended for his weight size) and I haven't had to increase the dosage yet, it makes that big of a difference. He no longer itches so much and his coat is super soft. And our need to vacuum every other day has gone down to once a week!

Nature's Miracle Just For Cats Advanced Stain & Odor Remover
I tried this Advanced for cats first & it really worked (after 2 applications). Loved the fresh smell & the way it worked so quickly on everything. However, I ordered the Oxy Orange next & didn't like the smell. Didn't seem to work as well either. So, back to the Advanced for cats. I'm sold on it and can't believe I found this after having cats for so many years. Thank you.

Zoo Med Repti Shelter 3 in 1 Cave
I ordered a large for my ball python he loves it. I was a little worried about there being enough space but there is plenty of room. It has some weight to it so he can't lift it as he moves around inside. Shipping was fast and secure and arrived in perfect condition.

Has someone committed a crime in your name? You may not know it until it's too late. Imagine being stopped by a cop for a broken tail light while on vacation with your family at Disneyworld only to find out that there's a warrant for your arrest for a DUI charge you never had. Sound preposterous?
Thousands of people each year are victims of criminal identify theft, experts say. Identities are stolen not just to commit identity fraud but to commit or conceal other types of crimes, experts warn.
Monitoring your own personal background check information is one of the most important safeguards from today's fastest growing crime...identity theft.
*We welcome relevant comments and questions from consumers, experts, and human resources professionals. Please do not submit comments with advertisements as they will not be posted publicly. Thanks for visiting our blog!

MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio — Teaching students to exhibit kindness is a large part of the culture at Lander Elementary School in Mayfield Heights, and second grader Ivy Puhalla fits right into this tradition, both in and outside of the school environment.
Recently, the Mayfied Board of Education recognized Puhalla for being named the 2013 Youth Ambassador Hero by the American Red Cross.
This award is given to people who show extraordinary courage, compassion and humanity by saving or improving the lives of others.
Puhalla managed to land this title because of the work she has done with the Red Cross Mail for Heroes program, something she has been involved with since she was a five-year-old.
Puhalla started making cards in her Mayfield Heights home during kindergarten, and during her first year of participation in Mail for Heroes, she personally crafted 37 heartfelt cards.
Part of why she wanted to start reaching out to the troops stemmed from the fact that she has family who have served as members of public safety. Growing up, she learned how important safety officials are to supporting a safe community, in addition to learning these folks don't always get the recognition or remembrance that they deserve.
Her vision and compassion led to Lander students crafting holiday cards for members of the U.S. troops, a small act of kindness that goes a very long way.
While thoughts of Santa and toys galore are on their brains of most kids, Puhalla is usually focused on collecting leftover cards from the previous year to begin another year of giving.
Her friends and family save donate these items, in addition to helping craft cards.
Puhalla managed to make her spirit spread throughout the entire Lander student body, and now it's become a tradition for the school to participate in Mail for Heroes.
Students take the initiative to help Puhalla spearhead the project each year, with a handful of kids walking from class to class to collect cards. Students help ensure cards get to the Red Cross, which delivers students' mail in time for the holidays.
They've gone from collecting 500 to a few thousand cards each year, a number that is expected to continue growing as time goes on.
