Last week I paid a visit to Fergus Falls, home to wood block artist Charles Beck. Then, while in Fargo-Moorhead, I stumbled across this lovely interview with Beck at the Rourke Art Gallery, created by Twin Cities documentary team Mike Hazard and Deborah Wallwork. Take a 7 minute break and get to know Beck's way of looking at the world just a little bit better.

I, of course, am no stranger to the Rack [because I am a freak shopping addict] and have been counting down the days [months] for it to open. THEN, to my excitement, I was fortunate enough to have been invited to shop the store before it even opened!! All. My dreams. Come true.
I brought along some friends and we arrived at the store- only to be greeted with complimentary cocktails & appetizers [from Berryhill&Co], a live DJ [playing Call Me Maybe- likely the best song ever- not joking], AND a goodie bag that included a $50 gift card! Shoot, it is a miracle I didn't pass right out. The store had quite a few other bloggers/tweeters/fashion enthusiasts, but it was pretty clear everyone was more focused on shopping than socializing. What can I say, I was in the zone. When it comes to discounts, I don't mess around.
The store was filled to the brim with incredible deals- more shoes than I've seen in awhile, incredible denim, purses galore... and all name brands like Hudson, Tory Burch, Marc Jacobs, and Paige. Here are some photos I snapped in the frenzy:
A cute tube-bra for under those baggy tank tops this summer! ONLY $5. Amaze.
Sam Edelman flats I have been DYING for, scored at over half off!! BOOM.
AND, a Bella Dahl chambray shirt [c/o Nordstrom Rack!!]
Roxanne was pretty pleased as well...
Thank you so much for a WONDERFUL evening, Nordstrom Rack! Boise shoppers: you can follow the Boise Rack on Twitter for updates! It is full of great deals you seriously won't want to miss. I will be making a trip [or 11] back very soon!

The Lakers are terrible, which is absolutely fantastic because screw the Lakers. Of course, it's hard to take too much solace in that since the Sixers are absurdly horrible again, losing and losing badly to teams that aren't even that good. But hey, if they're going to suck, at least the Lakers are sucking right along with them.
Speaking of which, the most entertaining thing about the Lakers this year has been the bench antics for 7-footer Robert Sacre, who just loves to dance. Enjoy.

Rick Perry struggled for several agonizing seconds to remember the last of the three federal agencies he'd cut during Wednesday's Republican primary debate. "Commerce, Education, and the -- what's the third one there?" He looked to his left for some help from rival Ron Paul, but Paul's suggestion seemed to just make things worse -- Paul wants to kill five government agencies. Was it the Environmental Protection Agency? Yes, Perry said. Then he said it wasn't. The 53 seconds seemed like hours.
Here's the transcript of the exchange:
PERRY: The fact of the matter is we better have a plan in place that Americans can get their hands around. And that's a reason my flat tax is the only one of all of the folks -- these good folks on the stage, it balance the budget in 2020. It does the things to the regulatory climate that has to happen. And I will tell you, it is three agencies of government when I get there that are gone. Commerce, Education, and the -- what's the third one there? Let's see.
PAUL: You need five.
PERRY: Oh, five, OK. So Commerce, Education, and the...
PERRY: EPA, there you go.
HARWOOD: Seriously, is the EPA the one you were talking about?
PERRY: No, sir, no, sir. We were talking about the agencies of government -- the EPA needs to be rebuilt. There's no doubt about that.
HARWOOD: But you can't -- but you can't name the third one?
PERRY: The third agency of government I would -- I would do away with, Education, the...
(UNKNOWN): Commerce.
PERRY: Commerce and, let's see. I can't. The third one, I can't. Sorry. Oops.

the deck lamp is on the outside of the cab in the back. It shines a little bit of light over the bed of the truck. As for the dome light take it all apart and trace the wires.

pretty sure mine run down the a pillar too but i can't see where they come out and i also can't find a fuse for the light. i should have refrased my question and asked where the fuses are for the dome light. I would rather find the fuse and see if it's blown before i run down all the wires. Thanks again

Deck light: As mentioned, in your truck, it is the light over your bed, it only works with the parking or head lights on.
On a 4Runner it is even more useless. The deck light switch has to be on, the lights have to be on, the rear door has to be open, and the switch on the cargo area light has to be on for it to work, and even then it gives off very little light.

I am pretty sure this is a Red-tailed hawk. Hubby and I saw him or her while walking around Kirby Park in Wilkes Barre, Pa this weekend.
The hawk did not move much only a slight turn of the head to look at me.
The red-tailed has a vivid rusty red tail. Also, present are white markings called scapulars. Now, I had to look up what exactly scapulars were on a bird. Scapulars are feathers that cover the top of the hawks wing when the bird is at rest. They look like shoulders. Cool, I learned something new today, the meaning of scapulars.
To see more wonderful birds click here World Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes.
Thanks to Springman of World Bird Wednesday and to Michelle of Nature Notes. Also, thank you for stopping by to see my post. Happy Birding and I hope the rest of your week is a happy too.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Freshwater and Tropical Fish
- - stocking list
stocking list http://aqadvisor.com/AquStockImage.p...20200909300009 Hope link works. AqAdvisor doesn't have a problem with it. Just FYI, tank is filtered with an AquaTech 30-60, an Aquatech 20-40, and a Lustar Hydro Sponge Filter III. Play sand for subrate, LIGHTLY planted, lots of fake plants, decos, and a piece of drift wood. So what do you think? |
I wouldn't put 3 angels in a 40. Also, a school of 10 zebra danios will be VERY aggressive at feeding time and will make it hard to feed less enthusiastic eaters. Not saying it won't work - just expressing the concerns I have with your proposed list. |
I'd not house any single Angel in less then a 55g, much less 3. Growing to 10" unless you're planning on upgrading your tank soon, I'd not recommand these fish for a 40g. For the pleco, unless you have plenty algae to feed of off and or LOVE the fish, I'd not get it just because, its only adding to your bio load and there's no need for that. I'd pers rather get another fish or stock the other's higher and leave it off the list (eg get more Kuhli's then it). |
I'm not overly attached to the Pleco, it was just an idea. I realize it's a shorter tank, but the 40 long has the same foot print of a 55 gallon, is that extra height really necessary? I would like a nice center piece fish idea to replace the Angel then. I do plan on upgrading/adding another bigger tank, I'm actively looking for a deal on something 75g or bigger, I'd really like something 100+ gallons. Thanks Jaysee, that's the kind of advice I'm looking for. Keep up the help! |
You're welcome. I would skip on the danios and get dwarf neon rainbows instead. They are active, playful schooling fish that primarily occupy the top part of the tank, much like danios. They are also better than danios as far as feeding goes, though not by a lot. The most important differences IMO are that they look so much nicer and are not maniacal in behavior. I would get 10 (3m/7f). I'd also increase the kuhlis, say to 8. You'll see much more of them and they'll be more active in a larger group. You could do the bn pleco, but don't think you HAVE to get a pleco to control algae. As for amano shrimp - I'd get ghost shrimp instead. If you are okay spending $4 for a shrimp that might get eaten when it molts, then go ahead. I'd rather get 20 ghosts for $4. Rather than the angel, you could do a pearl gourami. Aside from that, I would do a school of 8 cherry or gold barbs to fill in the middle of the tank. That would be a heavily stocked tank that would require excellent filtration as well as large weekly water changes. Haha, my 45 comes in at 165% stocked - 2 pearl gouramis, 2 GBRs, 8 dwarf neon rainbows, 7 gold barbs and 15 dwarf corys. |
The Neon Rainbow are neat looking, but I already have some Glofish in there, I'm waiting for the tank parameters to settle, but I'm already kinda leaning towards the Glofish, so I was thinking.... 10- Glofish 8- Kuhli Loaches 5- Ghost Shrimp 3?- Pearl Gourami(s) I'm not really liking the look of the cherry/gold barb, anything else you'd suggest as far as a center piece fish, or to add to the list, or to rearrange? |
Hmmm center piece to replace Angels...Had you considered blue ram's?? |
You could do a m/f pair of pearl gouramis, but I wouldn't do 3. If you do choose to do 3, then make sure you have 1m/2f. You could put 20 ghost shrimp in there are wouldn't ever see more than 5 at a time. I generally add 1 shrimp per gallon. Now, 40 shrimp might seem like a lot, but it really isn't. Of the origional 40, some will die immediately. Some will be eaten. Some will starve. The point is that you'll be left with less than you started with. Also, they have a very small bioload so no need to worry about that. |
Ok, 2 Gouramis maybe and LOTS of ghost shrimp 10- Glofish 8- Kuhli Loaches 20- Ghost Shrimp 2- Pearl Gourami(s) 70% stocked OR 10- Glofish 8- Kuhli Loaches 20- Ghost Shrimp 2- German Blue Rams 63% stocked |
That's your call...you need to know what you like better and what fits your water parameters better :-) |

Hire Today, Gone Tomorrow: New Teacher Classroom Assignments and Teacher Mobility
This article explores whether new teachers are assigned to tough classrooms and whether such classroom assignment is associated with higher teacher mobility. It utilizes the statewide administrative data set on public school teachers in Florida during the period 1997–2003 in conjunction with the 1999–2000 Schools and Staffing Survey and its Teacher Follow-Up Survey (SASS-TFS) data set. The SASS-TFS illustrates the possible misclassification of teachers in certain state administrative databases. Results suggest that new teachers in Florida and elsewhere usually teach in more challenging schools and have more disadvantaged children in their classrooms than teachers with more years of experience. Within-school classroom assignments play an important role in teacher mobility decisions. Specifically, school-specific policies on reducing disciplinary problems and possible strategic deployment of teachers in different classrooms may be effective in increasing school-level teacher retention rates. © 2010 American Education Finance Association

The Great Birth Certificate Scandal/Cover-Up of 08 Print
By Joan Swirsky
Monday, 24 November 2008
ImageAnalysis: Last week, newscasters reported that al Qaedas #2 terrorist disparaged the election of Barack Obama, and hurled racial slurs at Obama himself. The report has not been confirmed by the State Department, they all said, but they reported it anyway.
Fox News reporter Carl Cameron told viewers that three anonymous insiders of Sen. McCains campaign said that Sarah Palin was, in essence, a diva and a dunce. He and dozens of others who picked up the story on other channels never identified, or even verified, the sources of the quotes, but they reported them anyway.
Contrast these shabby examples of journalism with the legions of identifiable, verifiable and credible sources who for months have been investigating the disturbing allegation that Barack Obama is ineligible for the presidency because he has failed to meet one of the three requirements that the U.S. Constitution mandates, specifically that he provide proof of his natural born U.S. citizenship.
What follows is a partial list of people and organizations that have challenged Obamas eligibility. Further on I will comment on how egregious the medias failure to cover this story has been. And last, I will speculate on the reason for the cover-up of this full-blown scandal.
Attorney Philip J. Berg, former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania and a longtime Democrat partisan, sued Obama and the Democratic National Committee for what he alleged was the DNCs failure to vet Obama, and Obamas failure to provide an authentic and verifiable U.S. birth certificate. The suit was dismissed as "too vague" Berg filed a writ of certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court on Oct.30, to force Obama to produce his birth certificate. On Nov. 3, Justice David Souter rejected Bergs emergency appeal for the court to halt the tabulation of the 2008 presidential election results, but set a schedule for a response from Obama, the DNC and all co-defendants on or before Dec. 1. Berg claims to have a tape recording of Obamas Kenyan grandmother saying that she was present at Obamas birth in Kenya, along with his half-brother and half-sister. Here is his website.
According to WorldNetDaily, blogger Jeff Schreiber said a second case was presented to the Supreme Court on the same issue, i.e., the Federal Election Commission (FEC) has waived its right to respond to a complaint brought by attorney Philip Berg, possibly among other reasons because they liked their odds of Berg's petition getting denied. Berg said that if the FEC filed not solely on its own behalf but on behalf of the DNC and Barack Obama too, it reeks of collusion."
Dr. T.B. Bradley, a forensic psychologist, stated, as part of the Berg case, that, Upon reading all of the books written by or about Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. aka Barry Soetoro (hereinafter Obama) Applicant discerned that Obama was not a natural born citizen of the United States or if he was a natural born citizen that he had lost his citizenship when his biological mother married Lolo Soetoro, a citizen of Indonesia. Obama then became a citizen of Indonesia as a result of his mother's expatriation of herself and her son, by self declaration on legal public educational records that Obama was formally known as Barry Soetoro, a citizen of Indonesia [and] was not US Constitutionally qualified to hold the Office of the United States Senator from Illinois or the Office of the President of the United States.
Author, radio host, blogger, and Chicago attorney Andy Martin filed a suit in Hawaii's Supreme Court to compel Gov. Linda Lingle to release a certified copy of Obama's vital statistics record. His request was denied. On Nov. 18, he petitioned a judge in Hawaii for access to Obamas original 1961 birth certificate, and reported that the judge reserved judgment. But when he arrived back in the states, he learned that Judge Bert Ayabe had dismissed the case.
Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes filed a suit with the California Secretary of State asking that the state's 55 Electoral College votes not be cast on December 15 until Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office. Keyes suit was filed by Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation, along with California Electors Wiley S. Drake and Markham Robinson. The action states: "Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States, and, thereby, his election declared void.(a) usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States, and none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal." Former California Secretaries of State have reviewed background documents to verify the eligibility of candidates. In 1968, the Peace and Freedom Party submitted the name of Eldridge Cleaver as a qualified candidate for POTUS. Then Secretary of State, Frank Jordan, found that according to Cleaver's birth certificate, he was only 34 years old, one year shy of the age needed to be on the ballot. Mr. Jordan removed Mr. Cleaver from the ballot. Cleaver unsuccessfully challenged this decision to the Supreme Court of the State of California and to the Supreme Court.
Lt. Col. Donald Sullivan, a retired 23-year veteran of the Army, National Guard, and Air Force filed another suit in North Carolina, which claimed Obama should not have been on the state's election ballot because his citizenship is in doubt.
David M. Neal of Ohio filed a suit in Warren Common Pleas Court to force the Ohio Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner, to request documents from the Federal Elections Commission, the Democratic National Committee, the Ohio Democratic Party and Obama to show the presidential candidate was born in Hawaii. The case was denied.
Cort Wrotnowski of Connecticut asked the court to order Secretary of State, Susan Bysiewicz, to verify Obama's citizenship before allowing the candidate to appear on the state ballot. The case was denied.
Steven Marquis filed a suit Washington State Superior Court, calling for Secretary of State, Sam Reed, to determine whether Obama is a citizen before Election Day, claiming the Hawaii birth certificate reveals neither the hospital where Obama was born nor a doctor's name the baby's footprint. The case was denied.
Rev. Tom Terry of Georgia appealed to the Georgia Supreme Court the day before the election to determine authenticity of Obama's original birth certificate and his qualifications to be president. Georgia Superior Court Judge Jerry W. Baxter denied Terry's request for an injunction against Secretary of State Karen Handel.
Author Jerome Corsi, who has written extensively about this case, traveled to Hawaii and Kenya. He learned that the Certification of Live Birth that the Obama campaign posted is, according to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, not the same as a Certificate of Live Birth, which authenticates Hawaiian birth.
Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro, has named two different Hawaii hospitals where Obama could have been born. In November 2004 she said he was born at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu, but in February 2008, she said he was born in the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children. Before the election, the Internet site, WorldNetDaily, retained a private investigator in Hawaii to visit both hospitals, but he reported that sheriff's deputies were stationed at both hospitals to fend off inquiries.
Leo C. Donofrio a retired attorney, started a website and filed a suit in New Jersey on November 3, asking Secretary of State, Nina Mitchell Wells, for an emergency stay prohibiting Obama, Sen. McCain, and Socialist Workers Party candidate Roger Calero, from appearing on New Jersey's ballot, claiming all three are not natural born citizens. On Nov. 6, Supreme Court Justice David Souter denied Donofrio's application. But the case has now entered the docket of the U.S. Supreme Court and Justice Clarence Thomas has decided to send it to conference on December 5th! This means that only 10 days before the Electoral College votes, the nine Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court will meet privately to discuss Donofrios case.
Douglas J. Hagmann, director of HomelandSecurityUS.com, has reported that 17 lawsuits in 12 states are challenging the eligibility of Obama to become the next President of the United States.
Numerous activist groups have undertaken letter-writing campaigns to the Supreme Court Justices, members of the Electoral College, and elected officials, as well as sending urgent appeals to the White House and the Department of Justice.
Websites like Citizens for the United States Constitution, We The People, PeoplesPassion, America Must Know, and Faith2Action have sprung up in passionate defense of our Constitutions integrity. The last of these has even posted the names and addresses of Electoral College members from each state, as well as an ad in The Washington Times.
Dozens of petitions, like this one, have been circulated.
And dozens of mostly-conservative writers (including Devy Kidd and Miichelle Malkin), bloggers and journalists have written about his strange case and potential Constitutional crisis, as I have in a series of articles here and here and here and here.
Coverage of the above by the media: Zero.
It is no mystery that the leftist media have refused to mention this potentially looming Constitutional crisis in virtually all of their print and electronic coverage. Having shilled for Obama for the past two years dismissing his longtime radical associations, obfuscating his radical voting record, and taking a pass at their jobs of vetting a presidential candidate their failure to cover the most explosive story of the 2008 campaign speaks volumes about collusion of the highest order.
Then there are the late-night comics, as well as snarky humorists like Bill Maher and Jon Stewart, who take pride in being irreverent and outing both people and subjects that others avoid. Not a word.
But what about the failure of the powerful conservative media how to explain their total blackout of this story? Lets look at their reactions:
Fox News: Total Silence. Did the healthy shares that Saudi Arabia bought of Fox influence the networks non-coverage of this story? After all, its no secret which candidate the Saudis endorsed! We know that TV shows, including Fox, are on a seven-second delay, the better to bleep out offensive or inappropriate material. Doesnt it strike Fox viewers as strange that not one of their outspoken guests, even once, mentioned this story? Who warned them not to?
Rush Limbaugh: Total Silence. Why has the Excellence-in-Broadcastings Dr. of Democracy the man who eats sacred cows for breakfast not touched this story?
Mark Levin: Total Silence. Why has this popular radio host, commonly known as the Great One, abandoned his well-deserved reputation as a Constitutional scholar to studiously not address this Constitutional issue?
Laura Ingraham: Total Silence. Here is another radio powerhouse and former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas taking pains not to mention this casenot a word!
Bill OReilly: Total Silence. Yes, the guy who claims hes just looking out for the folksvoiceless!
Sean Hannity: Total Silence. The iconic radio and TV host who tackles every controversial subject under the sunmissing in action!
I could go on and on, but you get the picture. The very people the so-called loyal opposition who should have been shouting this story from the rooftops for months on end went mute. Ordinarily they would be the first to tell you that our Republic has no more precious document than the U.S. Constitution a document that set the stage for the greatest experiment in human freedom since the beginning of recorded history. People like me and multi-millions of others are aware of what happens when the salami tactics of tyrants are employed in the service of leftwing ideology.
First, there is a charismatic character promising change and hope, but who changes his tune once in power. Second there is a whittling down of the laws of the land and the arrogant dismissal of the documents on which the nation was founded. Third there is the blacking-out of all media that disagree with Dear Leaders message. And fourth there is the rounding-up and incarceration or worse of all dissidents.
This is not theory. This is history. But while both left and right media thought it appropriate to comment at length about Obamas seven-page for those seeking work in his administration a probing that makes a Pap Test, Questionnaire mammogram, colonoscopy, and endoscopy in one visit seem mild by comparison not one of these cowardly journalists has asked the simple question: Mr. Obama, where is your birth certificate?
Or were they not cowards but patriots?
Ive written several books, not one of them fictional. And thousands of articles, not one of them based on sinister suspicions or conspiracy theories. But the case of the U.S. medias complete non-coverage of this major story has gotten me to speculate on what or who may be behind this phenomenon. What force could be so powerful as to silence our countrys putative guardians of free speech the titans of the Fourth Estate?
Perhaps the mystery goes back to 2004, when President Bush won his second term in office and in his first press conference in the White House said that he had "earned political capital and intended to spend it."
Then suddenly and inexplicably he went into a year-long hibernation. He rarely appeared in public and gave no major speeches. Finally he reemerged albeit weakly in late November or early December of 2005
Could it be that shortly after the presidents reelection, he and major government officials received highly credible evidence from Americas ruthless Islamist enemies that they had a number of devastating (probably nuclear suitcase) weapons set up and ready to be activated in as many as six-to-10 of our major cities unless he (the president) tacked left and played nice for the following two years?
Was America taken hostage?
The president, one could speculate, had only two choices: (1) play chicken and possibly sacrifice the lives of millions of Americans and the destruction of major American cities, or (2) opt for the lesser of two evils, the second being to pave the way for a dangerous Trojan Horse qualified or not to capture the White House.
Could it be that the media blackout of the most explosive story of any presidential election in American history has been choreographed by none other than the current POTUS the most powerful man in the entire world? This would certainly explain why President Bush has not been himself since January 20, 2005. It would also explain why the all-powerful media have taken his marching orders including the New York Times, which takes particular pleasure in undermining and sabotaging the president, even when it comes to national security issues.
If this happened, it would have had to involve the highest echelon in our intelligence services, who might have paid personal visits to publishers throughout the United States, as well as to top TV and radio executives, who themselves would have passed down iron-clad orders to their anchors, broadcasters, even comedians to follow the blackout order or face Draconian consequences.
On November 4 Election Day the Dow was above 9,000. It is now plummeting, suggesting that even the globalists among us prefer tax cuts and capitalism to tax hikes and not creeping but galloping socialism or what the esteemed Dr. Jack Wheeler insists is fascism.
Buyers remorse is in the air. America has been hijacked. What a price we will pay if the Supreme Court and the Electoral College abandon their oaths to uphold the U.S. Constitution by capitulating as the media have to our enemies. God Save America!
