Andrew Smith has been a web designer and developer for years, but recently he's been drawn to making things that are a little more tangible.
And with recent innovations meaning new technologies are as accessible as ever, the 40-year-old Smith hopes to create a communal space where Whistlerites can collaborate on doing just that: building stuff.
With a community teeming with creative people who love to get their hands dirty, Smith thinks the resort would be the perfect home for his latest vision, the Whistler Makerspace, a not-for-profit community workshop where likeminded individuals could meet and work together on electronics, robotics, arts, crafts, welding or any other kind of manufacturing.
"There's a lot of people in the bike and ski community that like to build things and make something better, so I'm just looking for a space where someone could go and meet with likeminded people but maybe also pick up another skill," Smith said. "So if you're into hardware, welding, milling or even crafts, exploring the art-side of making things, then this is for you."
The concept behind a makerspace, or hackerspace as it's sometimes called, is not a new one, and has already caught in larger B.C. communities like Vancouver and Victoria. It's a communal work and storage space that also serves as a social hub and resource for those who may not have ready access to manufacturing tools or tech equipment.
In fact, Smith managed to garner some support for the concept from attendees at last week's Grow Conference in Whistler, with its focus on innovation and entrepreneurship, but is hoping the idea also takes hold locally.
"I started floating the idea around about two years ago. I built a website and it just sat there," Smith said.
"I talked to people and garnered a little interest but it picked up as soon as people started hearing about things like 3D printers and started to get interested in quick fabrication, laser cutting and all these tools that are coming down in price and are now accessible to everybody. There's just no place in Whistler for that."
He said the space could serve everyone from commercial manufacturers trying to get a product to market, to curious hobbyists tinkering with their own projects. Smith also hopes the space can become an educational forum where experts will hold workshops and lectures.
Now, Smith is looking at a 1,000 square foot space in Function Junction that would cost around $2,000 a month to operate. He said he has about a dozen interested parties, but would like to get that number up to 20 to bring down the shared costs.

How to remove a Windows.old folder
Deleting a Windows.old folder seems simple, but it isn't. Our expert explains why Windows Desk Cleanup won't work.
I have a Windows.old folder left over from a previous installation of Windows, but every time I try to delete it, I get "Access is denied" errors or other problems. How can I get rid of this folder?
A Windows.old folder is created if you place a new installation of Windows on a drive that already has one, and you don't upgrade the old installation in place. The existing Windows folder is renamed "Windows.old," and any user-profile information is placed inside it in a /User subfolder. This makes it possible for users to place a fresh installation of Windows on a drive and then either automatically or manually migrate their user data.
Note that if you have a Windows.old directory -- or simply a remnant Windows directory -- on any drive other than the boot drive, this technique will not work. The Disk Cleanup utility only looks for old Windows installations on your current system drive. What's more, when you try to delete a Windows directory on another drive from within Windows itself, you run into permissions errors or other problems, just as you indicated.
To get around this, boot the installation media, go to the Recovery Console command line, and perform the delete operation there. This should circumvent any trouble you'd have deleting the folder conventionally.

As pets age, they require special diets, dental care and ofttimes veterinary care.

I'm always into new and exciting pop-punk, especially when there are daring females involved. Against The Current, with badass-yet-still-adorable lead vocalist Chrissy Costanza, fits this description to a T. In Our Bones, their latest (and debut full-length), is classified as pop-rock, but every song has a little bit of a punk twist.
Too often, vocalists can become overpowering and overshadow the rest of their band. Costanza, however, is excellent at maintaining a balance while still rocking out with her unbelievable vocal range. She shows off that range, from sky-high melodies to dangerously low verses.
Against The Current showcases a few different sides to their sound in In Our Bones. Beginning with the badass and rebellious Running With The Wild Things, Costanza's voice is recklessly passionate as guitarist Dan Gow rocks out in the background to create an intense "warpath" track that leans more toward the punk rock side of their genre. Immediately after, Forget Me Now is way more indie-pop-ish with its upbeat synth and bopping beat – yet it loses none of its hard-hitting strength. Sounding almost Halsey-esque, the next track, Chasing Ghosts is evocative and bitter, hitting a little too close to home with lyrics like, "I won't keep chasing ghosts/I need somebody I can hold".
However, One More Weekend does a total 180 and is playfully reminiscent, with a little more of an electronic vibe and fast-paced indie pop. It's catchy and danceable, and I've been belting along in my car all week. Speaking of stuck in my head, In Our Bones is an acoustic change of pace, yet loses none of the band's natural fire while still maintaining a soothing sound.
Against The Current launches right back into a more typical sound with the rest of this album. Everything is packed with passion and volatility, from love songs to inspiring, live-life-to-the-fullest tracks. All the way until the end, with Demons's almost exhausting vibe, the album is fun and upbeat, even with bitter lyrics.
As someone who's constantly disappointed in the lack of women in the punk and rock worlds (and people of color, for that matter, but I'll have more on that very soon), I'm always seeking out new female-fronted pop-punk bands. Chrissy Costanza is a perfect example of this: a daring female who seems to be effortlessly badass, rocking her vocals (and her killer eyeliner) without overshadowing the rest of her incredible band.
If you're into fun pop-punk with a little bit of a rock twist, check out In Our Bones ASAP.

On September 14, a Fuquay-Varina woman made her first appearance in court on charges that she inflicted fatal personal injuries on another woman when she backed over her with her minivan at a gas station.
30-year-old Amanda Bailey Culross has been charged with second-degree murder, DWI, child abuse, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The latter two charges are the result of her three daughters, ages 4-9, being in the minivan when the accident occurred.
Authorities say the accident took place at a Hess station at the intersection of N.C. Highway 27 and N.C. Highway 55 in Coats at approximately 3:30 p.m. on September 11.
Police say that 75-year-old Jo Ann Bacon, who had spent 40 years teaching at area schools before retiring, was walking across the parking lot to pay for gas when she was struck by Culross' minivan.
A police report said that Culross "had a strong odor of alcohol" and a blood test was administered. The results of the test are not yet available. Coats Police Chief Eddie Jaggers says they believe "100 percent" that alcohol was involved.
According to authorities, a person being charged with second-degree murder in a DWI collision is a question of malice. Factors such as whether the person has a prior DWI conviction, fled police, fled the scene, or was driving in an extremely reckless manner.
Court documents show that Culross had been found guilty of DWI and failure to reduce speed in Wake County 2008. That decision is under appeal.
Jaggers, the first officer to respond to the scene, said when he arrived, Culross was attempting to perform first aid on Bacon.

Who was Vincent Potter?
The following was sent to GKBopp by Nancy Lani (5 April 2006 email) who prefaced it by saying: Curiosity leads us in different places. I found this information online. Thought you might like to have it. - Nancy
"The Pioneers of Massachusetts" by Charles Henry Pope published at Boston in 1900, page 370, states, "Vincent (Potter), gentleman age 21 came in the Elizabeth & Ann in May 1635, had apprentices: Henry Kenninge and ..., whome he placed with new masters in 1639." This statement Pope made from the Note-Book (legal memoranda) of Thomas Lechford, "a practiser at law, arrived at Boston 1638, who kept careful record of papers drawn by or executed by him..." op. cit. p. 262. - "Henry Kenninge, placed as an apprentice with William Park of Roxbury 21 Apr. 1639 by Vincent Potter." Vincent Potter 1614 1661originally went with Winthrop to Massachusetts, later returned to England and was instrumental in overthrowing and executing Charles I. His signature is on the death Warrant of King Charles I. [Francis J. Bremer, The Puritan Experiment, New York, 1976, pp. 19-21.]
Born in Warwickshire of unknown parents, Vincent Potter was a Puritan merchant and founder member of the Massachusetts Bay Company. He settled in Massachusetts in 1635, but returned to England in 1639. He joined the Parliamentarian army and was commissioned a captain of horse by Lord Brookein January 1643. After Brooke's death, Potter served in Colonel Purefoy's regiment of horse until July 1645 when he was appointed a parliamentary commissioner to the New Model Army with responsibility for provisioning and supplying the Army. The position had previously been held by his brother Captain John Potter, who was killed at the battle of Naseby. Potter proved to be an able administrator, and was severe in his condemnation of plunder and free quarter among the New Model soldiers.
Potter was nominated to the High Court of Justice in January 1649. He was a signatory of the King's death warrant, and also signed the death warrants of the Royalist leaders of the Second Civil War - the Duke of Hamilton and the Lords Capel, Holland and Norwich. In June 1649, Potter was promoted to colonel and was responsible for provisioning Cromwell's campaigns in Scotland and Ireland. At the Restoration, he was arrested in 1660 and was brought to trial as a Regicide.
His trial was marred by inhumane treatment towards him; he was in paroxysm of pain due to an attack of kidney stones but the court refused his requests to be allowed to urinate. He blurted out that he was unable to speak for pain, so his defense was never heard. He was found guilty and was imprisoned in the Tower of London, where he died very quickly, probably from medical neglect and ill treatment, aged only forty-. Potter's wife is unknown, but he had a brother-in-law named Thomas Fowle in Boston prior to the civil war. From a devotional text which he carried in his pocket throughout the war, Potter seems to have been a devout Puritan. [R.L. Greaves and R. Zaller (eds.), A Biographical Dictionary of English Radicals of the seventeenth Century, 3 vols., 1982-4]; [Calendar of the Committee for Compounding, vol. iii. Pp. 1883-4; private research.]

- About this book
In education today, technology alone doesn't always lead to immediate success for students or institutions. In order to gauge the efficacy of educational technology, we need ways to measure the efficacy of educational practices in their own right. Through a better understanding of how learning takes place, we may work toward establishing best practices for students, educators, and institutions. These goals can be accomplished with learning analytics.
Learning Analytics: From Research to Practice updates this emerging field with the latest in theories, findings, strategies, and tools from across education and technological disciplines. Guiding readers through preparation, design, and examples of implementation, this pioneering reference clarifies LA methods as not mere data collection but sophisticated, systems-based analysis with practical applicability inside the classroom and in the larger world.
Case studies illustrate applications of LA throughout academic settings (e.g., intervention, advisement, technology design), and their resulting impact on pedagogy and learning. The goal is to bring greater efficiency and deeper engagement to individual students, learning communities, and educators, as chapters show diverse uses of learning analytics to:
- Enhance student and faculty performance.
- Improve student understanding of course material.
- Assess and attend to the needs of struggling learners.
- Improve accuracy in grading.
- Allow instructors to assess and develop their own strengths.
- Encourage more efficient use of resources at the institutional level.
Researchers and practitioners in educational technology, IT, and the learning sciences will hail the information in Learning Analytics: From Research to Practice as a springboard to new levels of student, instructor, and institutional success.
- About the authors
Johann Ari Larusson is a Senior Research Scientist in the Center for Digital Data, Analytics and Adaptive Learning at Pearson. He first joined Pearson as a Senior Recommendation Engineer where he led research and development of recommendation engine technologies and adaptivity and analytics for the Alleyoop product. His research and applied work are primarily in the fields of educational technology, learning analytics, computer-mediated collaborative learning (CSCL) and software engineering. Prior to Pearson, he held various R&D positions in the technology industry, academia and banking. Even prior to educational technology, his work centered around transmission, manipulation and analysis of large volumes of (unstructured) data. Johann has authored and co-authored several peer-reviewed and award-winning publications, was a founding member and chair of the First North East Regional Learning Analytics Symposium, and has served as a reviewer for a number of journals and conferences. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Brandeis University.
Brandon White is a doctoral candidate in English at the University of California, Berkeley, where his theoretical interests in pedagogical history intersect with inquiries in applied educational technology. His work and research in learning analytics primarily concerns language recasting as deployed in student writing, and as taken up by educational theory, linguistics, and psychology. He is particularly invested in developing methods for identifying, isolating, and weighing markers for students' success based on their written content. Before coming to Berkeley, he was a Teaching and Learning Fellow at Brandeis University, where he also earned his Master's degree in Cultural Production, and continued to work as a consultant in educational technology for Research and Instruction Services. He is the author of a number of peer-reviewed publications and has served on several advisory committees for teaching and learning in higher education.
- Reviews
"This book is an edited volume concerning the current emerging topics of learning analytics (LA). … The book attempts to provide the first comprehensible reference book for LA by showcasing results, strategies, guidelines, methods, models and tools. … Larusson and White have produced an accessible and interesting introduction to LA, aimed at students, educators, researchers and educational stakeholders." (Cristóbal Romero and Sebastián Ventura, Technology, Knowledge and Learning, Vol. 20, 2015)"The book presents a range of excellent topics that are all interlinked with learning analytics. Each paper has a unique perspective on the topic and provides suitable examples and case studies. I would highly recommend this book to educational professionals seeking an informed view on learning analytics." (S. M. Godwin, Computing Reviews, November, 2014)

In the summer of 2011, the Township of West Lincoln's Mayor and Township Council initiated an exercise for the development of a new 10‐year community strategic plan. Based on the direction of Council, the Township's Chief Administrative Officer, along with key administrative staff, developed a request for proposal and engaged the services of Mohawk College Enterprise Corporation (MCE) and its consultancy team, MCC Group and Alegna Project Strategists, to undertake an extensive community consultation process that would result in the development of a new 10‐year strategic plan for the Township.
The official kick‐off commenced in January 2012 with a community consultation process that was carried out in the months of February, March and April. This process included preliminary key stakeholder engagement and a series of presentations and interviews (Phases 1‐3). Submission of this draft report to the Planning Committee brings closure to Phases 4 and 5 of this project.

Scott Campbell, Noblesse Oblige
Incredible currency works by tattoo artist Scott Campbell as part of his latest show Noblesse Oblige that opened yesterday at OHWOW in LA. The top piece, a three dimensional skull, is comprised of a stack of $11,000 in cut, un-cut currency sheets.
Campbell expands his use of cut currency, sourcing uncut sheets of dollars directly from the United States Mint, to create large, intricate work with a sunken relief effect. One piece uses $11,000 worth of currency sheets to create an over two-foot cube, into which a three dimensional skull is carved-out. These works employ the familiar blue-collar vernacular of tattoo flash-boards – a skull smoking a cigarette, a skeleton's hand in a provocative gesture, a single eye emitting a penetrating ray – and highlight the irony that exists within that imagery.
Learn and see more over at Arrested Motion and Slamxhype. The show runs through April 22.

Association Self-Assessment Nears Completion
In preparation for the YWCA of the Mid-Atlantic Region Council Peer Review, a local team of community members led by Board member and chair, Michelle Collins-Sibley conducted an assessment of our Association. Peer Review provides an opportunity to build capacity of local Associations. The team compared our Association's work and practices to the 45 standards developed by the national movement, which reflect industry and YWCA best practices. The team met weekly to review agency documents, seek clarification, and provide recommendations to strengthen the Association and our work. The team assessment was overwhelmingly positive. Michelle and the staff are working to wrap-up assignments before the onsite Peer Review, which is scheduled for October.

How children learn at KidZania Moscow
Educational principles
Edutainment as a ground rule
What makes KidZania a one-of-a-kind educational project? KidZania has created a unique educational environment that is as close to reality as can be. Here children explore the world by doing what is natural to them: playing as adults, taking on their roles, gaining new experience... And having lots of fun!
It's all about experience
The main educational goal of KidZania is to create a positive learning experience that kids will remember. KidZania is all about experience. Here children try different things, make mistakes, learn something new, and make decisions. The park brings together the best features of experimental education.
Knowledge that children want to gain
For many children KidZania becomes the place where they first discover the value of knowledge. They realize: it's not about the school grades, it's about what they want to do and who they dream to be! Armed with knowledge, children will be able to achieve great success in life.
Connection to school
Extending school knowledge
Activities at KidZania for children aged 6 and over are designed to broaden and improve knowledge gained from classroom instruction. KidZania's experience has proved that every subject — whether it is math, English or computer science — is easier to learn in the motivating environment of roleplay. The program used at KidZania Moscow is fully compatible with Russian educational standards.
KidZania Classroom
Among other activities, we present an educational project KidZania Classroom: we invite teachers from Moscow schools to hold classes for children. The teachers who have participated in the project agree that KidZania reveals new traits of a child's personality and gives a teacher a lot of valuable information.
KidZania is like an elementary school natural science course. Textbooks recommend to implement educational games into the course, and KidZania provides perfect opportunities: where else can children try out different professions?
While playing Microbe Hunting children learn that living things consist of organic compounds. They visit the yougurt factory to learn how bacterial fermentation makes milk sour. To solidify their knowledge, children conduct a microbiological analysis at the laboratory. The course is designed in accordance with most common biology textbooks for 6th grade.
What you cannot learn in the classroom
Learning at KidZania is much more than school programs. Here children develop various skills: effective teamwork, business-thinking, financial competency, emotional intelligence, understanding disabilities, social activism, environmental awareness, and more.

Mohammad Yunus Khalis
This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Mawlawi Mohammad Yunus Khalis (alternate spellings Yunis and Younas) (Pashto: محمد يونس خالص; c. 1919 – 19 July 2006) was a mujahideen commander in Afghanistan during the Soviet–Afghan War. His party was called Hezb-i-Islami ("Party of Islam"), the same as Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's party. The two are commonly differentiated as Hezb-e Islami Khalis and Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin.
He was a staunch conservative fundamentalist and virulently anti-Shia,[1] though not—unlike Gulbadin Hekmatyar, his original commander with whom he severed his ties for being too extreme—a hardliner, and wrote the 1991 treatise "An Appeal to Support the Holy War in the Sudan".[2] After the fall of the communist government in 1992, his forces controlled Nangarhar Province in eastern Afghanistan.
Maulvi Mohammad Yunus Khalis was born in 1919 in Khogyani District, Nangarhar Province in Afghanistan and became a powerful figure in his country's turbulent modern history. Educated in Islamic law and theology, Khalis exercised influence through his conservative vision of Islamic society. Sometimes referred to as the don of Nangarhar, he was also a shrewd politician who wielded considerable power behind the scenes during one of the most turbulent and violent periods in his country's history.
After the overthrow of Mohammad Zahir Shah by Mohammad Daoud in 1973, Khalis fled to Pakistan and joined Hekmatyar's Islamic Party (Hezb-e Islami). After the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Khalis broke with Hekmatyar and established his own party (Hezb-e Islami Khalis).
Khalis reportedly entered Afghanistan many times to join his forces in waging war against the Soviets and their local proxies. Many prominent mujahideen commanders including Abdul Haq, Amin Wardak Faisal Babakarkhail and Jalaluddin Haqqani were affiliated with Hezb-e-Islami Khalis.
After the fall of the Communist regime in 1992, Khalis participated in the Islamic Interim Government. He was a member of the Leadership Council (Shura-ye Qiyaadi), but held no other official post. Instead of moving to Kabul, he chose to remain in Nangarhar. His party controlled major parts of this politically and strategically important province. The Taliban brought Nangarhar under their control in September 1996 and Khalis was supportive of the Taliban movement and had a close relationship with Taliban commanders.
Khalis resided in Pakistan in the late 1990s. After the fall of the Taliban, his supporters regained their stronghold in Jalalabad where Khalis exerted considerable influence, although he held no official post. Two of his close associates, Haji Abdul Qadir and Haji Din Mohammad served as governors of Nangarhar Province after the fall of the Communist regime.
According to a statement from his son, Anwar al-Haq Mojahed, Khalis died on 19 July 2006.[3]

I consider equality, in its political and aesthetic forms, as a significant problem within the history of philosophy from Descartes to Rancière. The purpose of Egalitarian Moments is to outline an egalitarian frame of reference for rethinking modern philosophy after Descartes. The analyses of a number of egalitarian moments in philosophy are meant to engage Rancière's terse and sometimes polemical historical shorthand. For example, he insists that political subjectivation is modeled on Descartes's 'ego sum, ego existo,' and in Chapter 1, I aim to make historical and conceptual sense of this claim. But what follows is not an exegesis of Rancière's—or anybody else's—work. Instead, I place Rancière's work in a historical context of considering equality as a political, philosophical, and aesthetic problem, while reading the history of modern philosophy from an egalitarian standpoint. Using Rancière's concepts and arguments to reconsider the history of philosophy while using this counter-history of egalitarian moments to situate Rancière's work amounts, perhaps, to a hermeneutic circle or, as he would say, a historical fiction. But it is no more of a historical fiction than the way that the predominant frameworks of continental philosophy—such as post-Heideggerian phenomenology and deconstruction, psychoanalysis, and post-Marxism—formulate historical or genealogical accounts of thinking their present problematics. What counts is whether or not Rancière's work and this history of egalitarian moments offer new and compelling ways to think our present engagements with politics and art.
The Egalitarian Moments is motivated by the fact that evaluating Rancière's work using the assumptions and methods of these established frameworks in some way occludes important aspects of his thought. If one supposes that politics—or the political (which is something other than politics)—must be grounded in political ontology or the deconstruction of the metaphysics of presence, Rancière's work might seem disappointing or even incoherent. Likewise if one expects his politics to decipher in the surfaces of political discontent the true demands of radical struggle. However, I do not attempt to adjudicate the differences between Rancière's egalitarian method and these established theoretical frameworks and problematics. Instead, by tracing a provisional—and let me stress that it is provisional and non-exhaustive—account of a history of egalitarian moments in philosophy, I hope to show, first, how Rancière, in ways unforeseen by other approaches in contemporary continental philosophy, asks compelling questions and makes compelling claims about equality. More importantly, though, I hope to draw attention to previously overlooked concepts and claims that could still be taken up by new forms of dissensus.

Refuge and Spring Cleaning
Airdate: December 29, 2002
Url: episodes/2002_hurricanger/ep45/index.htm
|On Earth, Saandaru stands by a river thinking about Gozen and releases Madoogi out of his fan and sends her to investigate. The trio are happily hiking throught the forest and reach a temple. They believe this is where Gozen lives.
|They call for her and a stern man opens the door and shouts at them. He tells them that they are here to help clean up the temple. An English phrase slips in as he speaks. Nanami points out that Gozen-sama had called for them.
|The boys wipe the temple floor and Nanami sweeps the courtyeard as they look back at their adventures as Hurricanger. Red beating Kangaretto with electricty in Ep. 20, him getting out of a hole from Ep. 27, Blue splashing water at the grunts.
|Nanami beating the ninja girls, the red ninja in Ep. 30. Yellow mulitiples himself against the grunts and beats the monster from Ep. 11. The trio use their wingers, their paper wall attack, Dry Gadget, Sonic Gadget, and Quick Gadget.
|Back in present time, the man scolds the trio for laying around. Kasumi brothers walk the forest, they reach two statues. Isshu touches a button on his Gorai
|Changer. A flash, then between and past the statues comes visible a glowing, crystalline green forcefield. Madoogi spies on them. Saandaru watches through Madoogi's eyes.
|He wonders if they will destroy the forcefield. He tells her to go. Madoogi sinks down into a shadow and it leaps into Isshu's shadow. The two brothers use their
|ninja powers to turn the statues and the forefield opens for them like a door. When they get in, the forcefield closes once again. The statues turn back into place.
|The duo walks forward an Madoogi's yellow eyes glow in Isshu's shadow. The temple man is drinking tea while the trio clean. Nanami wonders if cleaning the temple was all they were summoned here to do. They are also wondering that.
|Yousuke asks why Isshu and Ikkou aren't here. The man says something in English and they ask him if he know Shurikenger. He says he knows who he is. They ask him who he is. He offers them the bread he was eating.
|Then all the candidates for Shurikenger are shown. The wannabe detective (Mega Red), the drummer (Go Red), the famous young actor (MegaBlue), Goraijer's sensei, the young grocery clerk (Blue Racer), the world-famous Shamisen player (Red
|Racer), the TV Food Fight champion(Time Yellow), the fisherman (Dairanger's Shishiranger), and the Soba-shop delivery guy (Ohranger's Red). The priest leaves, saying Gozen is calling him. The brothers arrive and Yousuke scolds Ikkou.
|Madoogi's shadow gets out of Isshu's shadow and her head peeks out of the darkness. Saandaru watches through her eyes and laughs. The trio realize the priest was Shurikenger.
|They then remember the monsters they fought like in ep. 8, ep. 5, ep. 9, ep. 12, and Ikki Kasumi witnessing the meteorites falling. His message to his sons on the Centipede.
|Clips continues of the Goraijer beating the Hurricanger up, the freezing of the Earth, the Goraijer fighting Chuzubo, then Kabuto fighting against his brother, Isshu revealing truths to the trio, Ikkou collapsing and apologizing to his brother for his actions.
|In present time, Isshu says they are together now, as they should be. But Ikkou continues to remember. When he almost died to the scorpion, those three space wolves eating people's shadows and becoming one.
|Shurikenger taking their medals and getting the Ninja Misen and calling for Revolver Mammoth. Destroying the Fangerosu, meteors heaidng towards the Earth, Manmuarba becoming giant. The clips end, Ikkou comes back to reality.
|The others go into a mild panic as they assemble to greet Gozen, except Ikkou, who holds his place but stands at alert. They kneel before her. She explains that the two medals may be brought together to form a tremendously powerful weapon.
|Clips are shown of Saandaru, the world destroyer. Destroying the monster in Ep 40, Saandaru and the Seal Stone, sucking energy from the team in Ep 41, the stone becoming the medal and GainGain using the Raging Arrow.
|Back in real time, Yousuke points out that there is some concern for protecting the medal that resides inside Gozen-sama's body. She nods gravely at him, and the medal shines through the skin of her head. Sandaru sees it in shock and delight.
|He sends Madoogi into battle without a second thought. Shadow becomes solid, Madoogi targets Gozen and Isshu grabs her hand. He grabs her neck and fights her. He beats him and Ikkou down. The trio protect Gozen and throw Shurikens at her.
|The priest comes and fights her. The five gather. The pritest holds the beast and tells them to take Gozen to safety. Madogi throws im away and he lands on his feet and transforms into Shurikenger. The five return. He throws baseballs at her.
|She kicks him down and she is called by Saandaru and ninja streaks away. Gozen comes out from behind a tree. Back at the base, Mugensai scolds the trio and they apologize. Now the Jakanja know the stone is Gozen. Gozen comes out of nowhere and forgives them. Oboro comes with cleaning gear andhands it off to them.
|Gozen-sama is here because her former hiding place has been compromised. She will live here with them, and they must make the place appropriately clean. Oboro snarls at them when they complain. Yousuke trips on Gozen's sleeves and grovels in apology while Oboro swats him over the head.

While peristalsis is the organic process, peristaltic pumps are actually positive displacement pumps used in a number of applications to transfer fluids from a point of high pressure to a point of low pressure.
Chemical, laboratory, medical, pharmaceutical, sewage treatment, painting, construction, packaging, agriculture, pulp and paper, water treatment and engineering facilities make frequent use of peristaltic pumping systems. Like all metering equipment, these pumps are designed to introduce a consistent and cyclical flow of liquid into a process stream in order to maintain the homogeneity of the final product or solution. The operation is unique among liquid pumps.
Although specific devices vary, the general function is similar. A length of flexible tubing is wound around a circular track which circumnavigates the pump head. One or more rollers are attached to the cylindrical center and used to compress the tubing at variable intervals. As the rollers move along they displace the fluids within the tube which are then exhausted through a release valve. When the roller is removed, the tube expands to its original volume creating a vacuum which pulls more fluid into the device and the cycle repeats.
Unlike many other types of pumps, including bellows pumps, diaphragm metering pumps and piston metering pumps; the pumping mechanism of the peristaltic pump never makes contact with the fluids it dispenses. This makes its use preferred in applications where sterile liquids are required such as medical and food and beverage processing.
There are three common operational designs associated with the peristaltic pump. Fixed occlusion pumps have a set interval at which rollers are placed and a set pressure which they may apply. This allows for little variation in tube size and material, but does provide constant pressure and consistent performance. Spring loaded roller pumps allow for more variation in materials and flow rates. These offer constant stress operation but adjust to the different sized tubes that may be used for different manufacturing processes.
The third type of peristaltic pump design is what is known as 360 degree eccentric. These mechanisms have a single over-sized roller that undergoes a complete revolution, compressing the tubing along the way. This particular design can increase flow per revolution up to 55% as compared to alternative designs of the same size. Though not always applicable, this third option also reduces the wear and friction on the tubing as it undergoes just one compression per revolution while others may experience stress three or four times during a single operation.
The heat and wear resistance of the particular tubing chosen for a pumping application such as this is very important. Extruded elastomeric materials such as silicone rubber and fluoropolymer are used as they maintain a circular cross-section despite multiple compressions. Chemical compatibility between the hoses and the fluids they will process is also of great importance. Further considerations include inner and outer diameter, pump drive or power source, flow rate, number of rollers and wall thickness.

From the U.K. Daily Mail:
This photo and others like it were smuggled out of the KYE Systems factory at Dongguan, China, as part of a three-year investigation by the National Labour Committee, a human rights organisation which campaigns for workers across the globe.
The mostly female workers, aged 18 to 25, work from 7.45am to 10.55pm, sometimes with 1,000 workers crammed into one 105ft by 105ft room.
They are not allowed to talk or listen to music, are forced to eat substandard meals from the factory cafeterias, have no bathroom breaks during their shifts and must clean the toilets as discipline, according to the NLC.
The workers also sleep on site, in factory dormitories, with 14 workers to a room. They must buy their own mattresses and bedding, or else sleep on 28in-wide plywood boards. They 'shower' with a sponge and a bucket.
And many of the workers, because they are young women, are regularly sexually harassed, the NLC claimed.
The organisation said that one worker was even fined for losing his finger while operating a hole punch press.
And what is it that they are so busily manufacturing? Goods outsourced by Microsoft and other global companies.

Why Do You Need The Help Of A Certified Arborist In Corrimal?
Trees take on a vital role in our ecosystem. Their primary tasks involve releasing oxygen, prevent soil erosion, accentuate the beauty and boost the value of a property and many more. The need of property owners to hire certified arborists in Corrimal spans the whole range from a desirable choice to an urgent need. Until white settlement, the area around Gosford was occupied by the Guringai peoples, who were principally coastal-dwellers, and the Dargin ng people that occupied the hinterland. Together with the other land around the Hawkesbury River estuary, the Brisbane Water district was explored during the early stages of the settlement of New South Wales.
Keep in mind that arborists take on jobs that do not just involve taking care of a tree. The services offered by these experts to consumers, who may be among the 6507 population in Corrimal, range from simple tree pruning to complicated tree removal tasks. If you are looking for one, be sure to hire Arborist Luke Warner.

Our Services: Tree Removal, Tree Pruning & Shaping
Tree removal is a service that is not given immediately upon request. An arborist will first determine if the tree or trees in a certain area, whether in Cunningham, should be removed. There are certain factors that should be met before this service can be offered. For example, the tree should be located in a construction site wherein its removal is necessary, if the tree is dying or already dead, and if it is causing an obstruction that even the most comprehensive method of pruning cannot address.
Another service that arborists offer to consumers who are in the areas assigned by City of Wollongong is tree pruning and shaping.

Oil-free makeup is designed for individuals who have oily or acne-prone skin, as oil-based cosmetics can clog the pores and irritate the skin. Those who have sensitive skin may also benefit from the use of oil-free makeup. There are several types of oil-free cosmetics, including foundation, blush, and concealer. Instead of using oil as a base, most oil-free products use water because it will not clog the pores on the face.
One of the most popular forms of this type of makeup is oil-free foundation. Most foundations contain oil, which can easily cause acne in those who already have oily skin. A water-based foundation will offer coverage without adding any extra oil to the skin. Since foundation is typically applied to the entire face, it can be extremely helpful to those who have acne-prone skin to use an oil-free product.
Concealer that contains oil can also clog the pores. Much like foundation, concealer is used over areas of the face that are prone to breakouts and oiliness. Often times, concealer is used on top of blemishes in an attempt to cover them up. An oil-free concealer can be especially beneficial for those who use the makeup on already-existing blemishes, as it does not contain any added oil and so won't exacerbate the problem.
Although it is better to use a powder blush on oily skin, many prefer the dewy appearance that a cream blush provides. Oil-free cream blushes are available to those who have oily skin but still wish to use a creamy blush. Oil-free bronzers are also available for those who prefer a bronzed appearance. Like the majority of oil-free foundations and concealers, oil-free cream blushes and bronzers are usually water-based.
When using oil-free makeup, one may find the use of an oil-free makeup remover to be helpful as well. Typically, liquid makeup removers contain a considerable amount of oil and can cause acne when used regularly. Oil-free makeup removers usually contain aloe vera or cucumber extract to soothe and moisturize the skin while removing makeup from the eye and face area.
Many oil-free makeup products also contain ingredients such as salicylic acid, which helps to treat and prevent acne. It is important for those with oily skin to regularly wash the face with a gentle cleanser to remove excess oil. Using an oil-free moisturizer on the face can also be helpful in the prevention of acne.

Greetings from Wisconsin!
Whiskers posted a topic in Welcome New MembersHello lovely members of Koko's. My name is Whiskers but a less silly name you may call me is Roni. I am currently a nineteen year old college student who got more seriously into Goldfish keeping about eight months ago. As my title states, I am living in Wisconsin. Right now I have two goldfish, a fancy/Ryukin baby named Candy Corn who's about a year old and a little Oranda named Jelly Bean who's going to be a year or so soon. After my tank upgrade both started to pack on weight so hopefully they keep on growing! Unfortunately I'm still in an undersized tank (20g) due to college restrictions, but according to Aquadvisor my dual filter set up and semi-frequent water changes are keeping them nice and healthy! Can't wait to get my own apartment and go a little fish crazy. Now for some pictures! A thread isn't complete without pictures. This is the fish in a bowl that started it all. We all have that little guilty intro-to-fishkeeping memory right? His name was Stark and was a birthday gift to me. He was followed by Ugly once he died, but when Uggs died as well, Candy Corn took his place. That is the start of where we are today! This is Candy Corn the Fantail/Ryukin. He's crazy in love with attention and people. Mostly food, but even once he's full he'll still try and attract my attention by any means possible. Also loves hands to bits and will play tag with me sometimes. Last I weighed him he was 31 grams - over half of that was in the last two months! This is Jelly Bean, aka "Little Bean" the Oranda. I thought some of Candy Corn's erratic behavior was because he was stressed and needed a friend, so I pushed the limits of my tank to take in this girl with a bum rudder. (She's missing half of one of her tail fins.) Turns out Candy Corn is still a little nutter, now just with a girlfriend following him everywhere. Side view of my tank since I don't have any good head on ones. Since removed two of the little flower pots and took the gravel out of the remaining small one. Otherwise it's bare bottom with some glass rocks. Black background and floor. Looks pretty slick when it's clean if I may say so! Little Bean has had a small spurt since this photo so now she's not as dwarfed by two inch flower pots. Candy Corn is still much bigger though.
OrandaPanda posted a topic in Welcome New MembersHi everyone! I've been lurking on the forum for a while now, excited to finally post. I've been keeping fish for around eight years or so, and currently own a 55 gallon tropical community, and a 20 gallon goldfish tank that will hopefully soon be upgraded to a forty. My girlfriend and I share the goldfish, but they live with me, and I believe are a calico lionhead (Artemisia or "Artie" for short) and a red and white ryukin, Little Vincent (or could just be a higher bodied fantail). I also have three leopard geckos and a cat. All the critters are spoiled rotten, and I just inquired about a 40 gallon cube I saw on craigslist for the goldies, so keep your fingers crossed
Hey everyone! Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Makes me so feel welcomed. I fell in love with Fancy Godfish late last year and I've been researching and planning for months now to reduce the amount of freak outs when I finally get my own fish to fawn over. I love to be outside so I'm beginning with a 35 gallon preformed pond that I'm putting on my balcony. I'll be posting pics and videos of my progress so PLEASE share with me any tips or advice along the way. I live in San Pedro, California where the Los Angeles Port is. We have a lot of tropical fish enthusiasts out here but not a lot of gold fish lovers so if you're from Cali please say hello! Much love! Danielle
Hello from British Columbia!
CMonster posted a topic in Welcome New MembersHey! I'm a new member as of today! I can't figure out how to post questions for the life of me, so if someone could help that would be amazing! I currently own a 5 inch Ryukin, a 3 inch calico fantail & a 2 1/2 inch red oranda in my 30 gallon tank with a 50 gallon aqueos filter.. I have questions about my ryukin I'd like to ask so could someone please help me figure this site out? Thank you!!
Hello everyone
BaOncy posted a topic in Welcome New MembersI am new to this website. I looked through youtube for how to care for goldfish videos and they led me to here. I recently adopted two goldfish and being new to the hobby I am looking to learn more on keeping goldfish. I've been browsing around for the last couple of days and this looks to be the place to do just that. I have a fantail whose previous owner kept in a 1.5 gallon bowl for about a year and a very small black moor I got from petco. You guys seem very excited about photos so I shall post some to introduce my goldfish. Joe. Not a great pic, but this is literally what he looks like in every picture. Tammy. She's well stunted as you can see. Looking better each day in the 29 gallon I have got both of them in right now though. -Thank you all for looking.
Hello Everyone.
KevinPham123 posted a topic in Welcome New MembersHi, my name is Kevin, I'm from Sydney, Australia. I've kept goldfish for just a bit over 2 years now. There are more or less 15 goldfish in my tank. Which consist of "common", "comets" and "fantails". bye
Greetings and salutations
bourst posted a topic in Welcome New MembersNew member here recommended by Jennifer (Solid Gold) on Youtube/Facebook. I started keeping GF again after many years. I used to keep them as a teenager and into my late 20s when I got married and life slapped me in the face with 2 sets of twins. That was a lifetime ago. I don't know yet how to post pictures here so I'll provide a link instead. http://www.goldfishk...php?albumid=360 (I hope it's kosher to cross reference on blog to another) Started my new collection outdoors this past Spring and am doing well considering I've been persona non gratta for so many years. Slowly but surely. I moved them recently indoors and will babysit them till the weather warms up. All, that is, except my pride and joy, the black and gold veiltail telescope whose name is Mango.
OoAMoO posted a topic in Welcome New MembersHello I'm Anthony James, 15 years old, major animal lover, I have four goldfish which were bought over 4 years ago, originally kept as class pets but for the past 3 years have been kept in my care, we are still amazed they are alive , They live in a tank with a filter and heater along with one black moor, an angel fish and pink tetra all over 2 years. The heater is kept at constant temperature of 26 °C (Is this alright?) for the last two years. I wanted to start a tropical fish tank, so do you have any advice on: 1) Best starter fish. 2) Best Equipment 3) Best Aquarium Size 4) Best flooring, ornaments and plants (live and plastic) I wanted a hardscape similar to this click , I was going to sell my fish tank and but two smaller ones one cold water and one tropical so how many gallons should they be and is the hardscape design suitable for both? Thanks a lot, So any tips and advice and do you recommend it? My tank:

Clackamas head wrestling coach Josh Rhoden, left, and assistant coach Brett Born during the NJCAA Region 18 Championships in February, hosted by the Cougars.
(Courtesy of Clackamas Community College)
To get a sense of the U-turn the Clackamas Community College wrestling program has taken since coach Josh Rhoden showed up on campus in 2006, just run your finger down a list of the team's finishes at the NJCAA National Championships.
NJCAA finish (coach)
2013, 3rd (Josh Rhoden)
2012, 4th (Josh Rhoden)
2011, 1st (Josh Rhoden)
2010, 8th (Josh Rhoden)
2009, 3rd (Josh Rhoden)
2008, 7th (Josh Rhoden)
2007, 5th (Josh Rhoden)
2006, 10th (Mike Haluska)
2005, 19th (Mike Haluska)
2004, 13th (Mike Haluska)
2003, 12th (Mike Haluska)
2002, 15th (Lloyd Martindale)
2001, 10th (Lloyd Martindale)
2000, 17th (Lloyd Martindale)
In the seven seasons BR – Before Rhoden – Clackamas finished 10th a couple of times at the national tournament, but even in those meets they were never a threat to any of the top teams. Most of the time, they were never even close.
In the seven seasons AJ – After Josh – the Cougars have finished in the top 8 every season. They won the national championship in 2011, finished third last year and have become a perennial threat to win it all.
What should worry other community college programs around the country is that Rhoden feels like he's just hitting his stride on the Oregon City campus. He thinks this year's recruiting class is probably his best ever.
"Our goals are high," Rhoden says. "A national championship is what we talk about every day with this group."
Oregon State assistant coach Kevin Roberts, who is familiar with the junior college ranks after being on the staff at North Idaho College for five seasons, says it's incredibly hard to build a community college program like the one at Clackamas.
Some kids have a chip on their shoulder because they didn't get a scholarship offer from a Division I or Division II school after a star high school career; others end up at a community college because they have academic or disciplinary issues. And unlike at a four-year school, where you'll get an athlete into your program for four or (with a redshirt) five years at a time, junior colleges have to remake their rosters virtually every season.
"Every year you're battling the kids who don't think they should be junior college kids," Roberts says. "Josh got in there and worked his tail off and sold them on it, and sold the college on it, and proved it could be a successful sport there. They're doing all the right things."
Andrew Stanfield does the public-address announcing at both Clackamas and
, among others. So he has seen plenty of college wrestling at all levels. He says junior-college wrestling doesn't get the credit it deserves in terms of how good the athletes are -- at least at top programs like Clackamas and rival North Idaho.
But Stanfield says the word seems to be slowly getting out to the local wrestling community -- helped by the 2011 national championship -- and he's seen attendance at Clackamas meets steadily increase over the last three seasons.
"The Cougars are just flat-out fun to watch," he says. "They put on a good show, with exciting and entertaining wrestling. Most duals have pretty good crowds now."
As for this year's team, Rhoden won't have to lean entirely on newcomers. He has several veterans returning after good seasons a year ago, led by CJ Palmer at 133 pounds. Palmer, from Pennsylvania, finished 18-4 in a season partially spent rehabilitating a torn labrum. He finished fourth at the NJCAAs, but Rhoden says he could've won it all if it hadn't been for the injury.
Stevan Knoblauch, out of Fresno, Calif., spent time in and out of the starting lineup last year at 125 pounds before losing the spot to Sage Ornelas, who went on to finish sixth at nationals and claim All-American status. Knoblauch went 23-10, but won't necessarily have an easy time claiming the 125-pound starting spot this year, either.
Kamron Day, from Fillmore, Utah, was 8-4 at 125 pounds a year ago before a knee injury ended his redshirt season. He's also back and looking good, Rhoden says.
At 141 pounds, Daniel Leonard from Sherwood went 24-10 at open tournaments while redshirting a year ago.
CCC home schedule, 2013-14
Oct. 24, 7:30 p.m., Navy and Scarlet Exhibition
Nov. 9, 5 p.m., Simon Fraser University
Dec. 6, 7:30 p.m., Highline C.C.
Jan. 18, 5 p.m., North Idaho College
Jan. 19, 10 a.m., Clackamas Open
Jan. 24, 7:30 p.m., Southwestern Oregon C.C.
Jan. 30, 7:30 p.m., Pacific University
The team last year ended up with five All-Americans, including national champions Trent Noon at 174 pounds and Jacob Mitchell at heavyweight. But what Rhoden says he's most proud of is that seven members of that team signed to continue their careers with four-year colleges.
"Division I schools won't take kids without that (associate's) degree," he says. "Our foundation is built from the education up. We're going to be one of the top teams in the nation, but let's make sure all our kids get degrees while they're here."
Among the big names working toward those degrees and likely to contribute on the mat in this year's recruiting class:
• Kyle Bateman, Sandy, 165 pounds: An OSAA Class 5A and Reser's Tournament of Champions titlist last season, Bateman raised eyebrows on the national level when he finished fourth in freestyle and third in Greco-Roman at junior nationals in Fargo, N.D., over the summer.
• Eleazor De Luca, Phoenix, Ore., 149 or 157 pounds: De Luca won three OSAA Class 4A titles for Phoenix and a national Greco-Roman championship, and originally signed with Arizona State when he graduated in 2012. Instead, he ended up spending a year in the development program at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., and then showed up at Clackamas. But he clearly has designs on big things. De Luca recently tweeted, "I know for fact I will be an NCAA champion one day."
• Brandon Johnson, Lake Stevens, Wash., heavyweight: Johnson has big shoes to fill, both literally and figuratively. The Cougars have had an All-American heavyweight every year of Rhoden's tenure, including NJCAA titles from Tyrell Fortune and Jacob Mitchell three of the last four seasons. With both now in the development program at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, it's left to Johnson to pick up the mantle for the Cougars at 285 pounds. An undefeated 4A state champion in Washington last season, Johnson also finished 5th at folkstyle nationals in Virginia Beach, Va.
• Kenny Martin, Lincoln, Neb., 149 pounds: Martin is a talent who had a less direct route to college wrestling than most. He finished second at the Nebraska state tournament as a freshman at Omaha North High School, then had academic and attendance issues that led him to two other schools and out of wrestling entirely for the next two years. Last year at Lincoln Southwest High – while living on his own with the assistance of homeless advocacy groups – he finally won a state title and finished as an All-American at freestyle nationals in Fargo for the second year in a row.
• John Morin, Hillsboro, 184 pounds: After placing fourth at the state tournament as a junior, Morin took a wrestling cultural exchange trip to Africa and came back re-dedicated for his senior season. He lost a triple-overtime championship match at the prestigious Reno Tournament of Champions, then went on to win the Reser's and OSAA titles before finishing 8th and claiming All-American status at folkstyle nationals. Morin, at 6-foot-3, looks and wrestles like former Oregon State 184-pounder Brice Arand, a 2011 NCAA qualifier who stands 6-foot-2.
• Ihoughwama Odigizuwa, Portland (David Douglas HS), 197 pounds: The younger brother of UCLA defensive end Owamagbe Odigizuwa made his mark on the wrestling mat rather than the football field. Ihoughwama's junior year was cut short when he didn't make weight at the district tournament. So he moved up from 182 pounds to 195 as a senior and steamrolled the competition on the way to a state title and a third-place finish at folkstyle nationals in Virginia Beach.
• Lawrence Otero, Albuquerque, NM, 141 pounds: A four-time finalist and three-time New Mexico state champion and a two-time folkstyle All-American, Otero was ranked as high as 13th in the class of 2013. He originally signed with Arizona State, but changed gears and ended up at Clackamas.
• Robbie Rizzolino, Easton, Penn., 141 pounds: A two-time placer at the Reno Tournament of Champions – including a third-place finish last year – Rizzolino went 32-6 and placed sixth at state as a senior for Easton Area High School.
• Adrian Salas, Clovis, Calif., 184 pounds: Salas is a special kind of athlete. As a senior at Clovis, he went 42-1, won a state title and a Doc Buchanan Invitational title and recorded 22 pins as he led his team to a third consecutive state championship. He was also the Tri-River Athletic Conference player of the year in football. The website Calhisports.com named him the California Division I Boys' Athlete of the Year.

More Hot Deals for Black Friday and Chaos at Walmart
The big day is here! For your shopping pleasure, here are more of the year's hottest deals. But first there's a breaking story about customers having problems with Walmart on Thanksgiving that might make you think twice before shopping there for Black Friday.
Even before Black Friday officially began, irate customers were slamming Walmart over items that were already sold out and orders that were cancelled. Some of them took their frustration to Walmart's Facebook page, like one disgruntled shopper who asked, "What's the point in having online black Friday if everything is either out of stock or in store purchase only?" As off 1 am ET, the complaints were still piling up on Facebook.
Others complained of having their orders cancelled due to lack of stock, orders that they thought were confirmed. Items already sold out ahead of Black Friday include a Sharp Smart LED TV, video games, Wrangler jeans, fleece jackets and PJs for kids. This makes Walmart look very bad considering how much advertising the chain has invested in Black Friday this year, especially in comparison to rival Amazon.
This situation is likely to get even worse as more stores open for Black Friday and more advertised items sell out immediately.
Apparel and Accessories
Do you want to spend your valuable Black Friday shopping time on clothing? After you've already snagged that smart TV and the other electronic goodies on your list, yes, because there are some great deals out there on items for the whole family. Just about all of the top retailers will be having clearance sales on fall and winter apparel and accessories to make room for the spring items coming in January, even though there's plenty of winter left over the next few months. If you need new clothes for the kids because they've outgrown their last year's stuff, or just want some stylish new boots at a low, low price, Black Friday weekend is the time to shop! Here are a few hot deals on apparel.
Cozy socks for $1 per pair at Old Navy. At this price, you can toss out all your old socks and replace them with nice fresh new ones.

Holiday tees for $4.99 at Kohl's.

Bella Panini Maker for $7.99 after $12 mail-in rebate ar Macy's. That's a total of $37 off. While you're in Macy's, check out the other after-rebate deals and low prices on just about everything for the kitchen.

Lego construction sets are 40% off at Toys R Us These have been around for years but seem to be more popular than ever so this is great time to pick up a set or two.

Barbie Career Dolls Fashion Set of 5 for $24.99 at Toys R Us. Remember when all Barbie did was shop for clothes? Now she has a career, or in this case, five of them. At least she's setting a better example for the new generation and this set is discounted $25.
