Singapore: Mystic Pharmaceuticals has been granted US patent (No 8,377,009) for its intranasal cartridge devices' technology, which a novel device technology for delivering drugs and biologics into the body via the nasal route. This delivery system is based upon the company's VersiDoser and VRx2 unit dose packaging and delivery platforms.

Alumnus to discuss rock experiences, Oct. 24
Posted October 18, 2001; 12:35 a.m.
A lecture titled "Kurt Cobain Died for Somebody's Sins ... But Not Mine: Rock Stars, Indie Rock and Celebrity Culture" is set for 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 24, in McCormick 106.
The speaker will be Eric Weisbard, a 1988 Princeton graduate who is senior program manager at the Experience Music Project , a Seattle-based popular music museum.
Weisbard works with academics, journalists and other writers in the museum's education department. Previously, he served as music editor of The Village Voice and as a senior editor at Spin magazine. His writing for Spin, The Voice, The New York Times and GQ, among others, has covered a wide range of artists, from Neil Young and Nine Inch Nails to Built to Spill and DMX. A college radio disc jockey for WPRB during the indie-rock 1980s, he later edited the Spin Alternative Record Guide (Vintage). He currently is editing an anthology of rock 'n' roll short stories and overseeing a popular music studies conference to take place at the Experience Music Project in April.
Weisbard's talk, sponsored by the Program in American Studies , is in conjunction with the appearance of the Electric Bus at Princeton from Oct. 22-26. The bus is a mobile exhibit organized by the Experience Music Project and sponsored at Princeton by the Undergraduate Student Government. It unfolds into a 10,000-square-foot exhibit and activity space, complete with cross sections of music-related artifacts, video presentations and interviews, as well as instruments viewers can play. It will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. in parking lot six, south of New South and west of Baker Rink.

Does the decision of these football players surprise anybody with the type of joke coaching that is happening? we need a new coaching staff except for chavis! the defense is the only thing that kepted lsu in the games 98% of the time! offense is a joke and has been a joke for several years now. the offese line doesn't even protect their quarterback much less hold the line and look like a bunch of lost puppies! But the regions board soooo called welllll educated are a bunch of morons...to go a long with the contents of a contract that is so ridicules promoting and accepting mediocre coaching without any consequences to the fact that if they don't comply with certain things then there should be no raise etc. Do people think its ok for Miles to be receiving the kind of money he is getting to just coach mediocre? For that kind of money is not ok to be in the average top 10 no it's not! he should be coaching as a top coach for a national championship and we should not accept anything less! what is the board scared of??? His (LES'S) agent??? would any one run their own business like the yoyo's on that board? They have no clue!!! Not a single clue about how to write a contract or what a contract should be saying! maybe they can learn from alabama's contract fro saban! Yes he saban has to do so many things to keep his contract and be kepted as a coach. just like we all do in relatioships, in life in general etc. what a free ride for les and all the coaches are getting on other peoples money! not the board's money but people who work hard for the money they give lsu because they love the school and care about the students, academics and athletics! i say if the so called bosses over coaches don't have the gonnads to stand and demand the job gets done right then out the door they should go and let's get business people who have the --- to run lsu the way it should be run. quit expecting the legislature to give lsu money and get your butts out and starts putting the money coming in in the right places building the endowment for lsu so it can take care of its necessities etc. There is so many other areas i know that money needs to be used, other sports, professors, etc. before giving more money for poor football coaching!

Interesting development and it makes me very interested to see what Hasbro will have to show at Toy Fair. "Interested" in the sense of pure morbid fascination that is. Because this is likely to be a train wreck for Hasbro if they were counting on those 3D releases.
I wonder if this is based on the dismal performance of Ep1 3D or are they just running that far behind schedule in getting Ep7 done? I wouldn't be surprised if we later hear that Ep7 is postponed until 2016. Which would be fine by me, I would rather them take their time and make the best movie possible than have them rush out a piece of garbage.
Besides having a Star Wars movie delayed by a year wouldn't be unprecedented, ANH was originally supposed to be released in 1976, not 1977.

Bathroom Window Blinds & Shades
- Moisture resistant window treatments
- Provide an adequate level of privacy
- Consider room darkening options
- Shutters are a natural fit
- Top picks are faux wood blinds, cellular shades & roller shades
While privacy is a major concern in the bathroom, blinds and shades that are able to withstand high levels of humidity are the best choice. Treatments made out of vinyl, PVC, faux wood, or thick fabric will be durable enough to stand up to the unique environment. These window treatments won't bend, warp, crack, or harvest mildew and are sure to withstand the test of time. Many bathroom shades can be configured with a top down/bottom up lift for the ultimate in flexible privacy. The slats on faux wood bathroom blinds and shutters can be tilted upwards to admit some light while still maintaining privacy.

1. Download/Install Avisynth Version 2.5.8 if its not already installed. Version 2.6 will not work and the developers are not interested in 64 bit support as far as I know. If uninstalling your current version of avisynth, make sure you keep your plugins folder or else you will have to get all your 32 bit plugins again.
2. Download Avisynth 64 bit 8-29-10 Release.
Note: There are reports that there is a resizing bug in the 8-29-10 release, but I use it and have no problems with it. Maybe someone more informed can come and explain this cause I can't. If this worries you, you can download the 4-16-10 Release instead.
Run the installtion script (provided by Turbojet of the Doom9 forums) included in the archive as administrator
This DLL will not interact or interfere with any of the functionality of your 32 bit Avisynth installation
Avisynth 32-bit is located in C:\<Windows Root>\SysWOW64, this version installs to (as backwards as it may seem) C:\<Windows Root>\System32
If this does not work for you, Copy included DevIL.dll and avisynth.dll into your C:\Windows\System32 directory
Again, it's backwards, but all 64bit binaries are located in System32
4. This DLL will only work with 64 bit programs, and 64 bit codecs. Remember this so you don't run into conflicts later on. Download Virtualdub 64 bit and DgDecode 64 bit if you use Dgindex to index your sources. Place the DGdecode.dll in your avisynth/plugins64/ directory and just to make sure their are no problems between DGindex and your plugin, I would recommend replacing the DGdecode.dll in your DGindex folder with the one you just downloaded. If you don't, you may run into problems when loading your d2v files when using 64 bit avisynth.
5. Go here and download all the plugins you want/need/use and place them in your 64 bit plugin directory.
6. Confirm that everything works. Index a DVD with DGindex and create a simple script. Test it with VDub64. If it doesn't work make sure you followed all the steps above correctly before posting here for help.
7. Download and install Pwolf's wonderful AVS Import plugin for CS5 and thank him for it later. I can't help with problems regarding this plugin, post problems in this thread if you need help.
I encourage exploring the usefulness of setmtmode() that was included in the 64 bit installation you followed. If you are using a processor that has more than one core or supports hyper-threading you can see significant performance/speed gains when it comes to editing and rendering with AVS files. The speed boost from this is insane and could even help the person who just wants to convert/encode their sources to an editing format. Anyway just want to encourage it, its not necessary.
Feel free to post any info in regards to avisynth 64 here or if you have comments, concerns, or just in general need help, don't hesitate to post. Figured I'd get the only guide out of the way that I felt confident enough to do myself.

Panel to focus on immigration policy, March 9
Posted March 4, 2004; 05:20 p.m.
A panel discussion on "Immigration Policy: The DREAM Act and Access to Higher Education" is set for 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 9, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
The panelists will focus on the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, introduced last August by Sens. Orrin Hatch and Richard Durbin. The act would provide qualified undocumented high school students who wish to attend college or serve in the armed forces an opportunity to adjust to a lawful status and pursue these goals.
Panelists will include: John Bernstein, director of federal policy at the National Immigration Law Center in Washington, D.C.; Iris Bordayo, a community organizer for the New Jersey Immigration Policy Network; Douglas Massey , professor of sociology and public affairs in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs; and Patrick Shen, immigration counsel for the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.

But what do I know?

ummmm... you might actually try reading what he wrote. Mighty big of you to say that he agrees with what you are saying.
Thank you for so astutely reading that thread; I thought maybe I was losing my mind
What is right wing about filing a lawsuit to unmask a doe, suing that person, then settling for a much smaller amount. It seems this is used by many different trolls, and likely doesn't have any political ideology behind it. It is sleazy though. Filing a lawsuit with the intention of settling just to get a payout is wrong. It is short circuiting the justice system for personal profit.
Yeah that's neither right nor left, it's the universal language of greedy bloodsuckers.
What is right wing about that process? The Democrats support the movie industry, not the Republicans.
The fact that Democrats support something doesn't negate the possibility of something being right wing. The Democrats are not ideologically pure, or ideologically homogenous, and very few of them can be considered "left".
To me, pretending that copyright is only about property rights, and ignoring the fact that copyright was also supposed to be about free speech and about making material available for free to the public after a limited time, is definitely "right wing".
This has nothing to do with the DMCA, this is a straight out copyright infringement lawsuit being filed. The real problem is that the methods the copyright holders (or the copyright enforcement goons acting on their behalf) are using to identify torrent users aren't good enough and its good to see at least one judge willing to call these enforcers out on it.
Exactly. Would have been nice for judges to start doing this 11 years ago, but glad they've come around.
If other judges follow this precedent, it will be the death knell of civil litigation involving the internet in any way. I don't like how trolls do business, but I don't think changing the rules like this is a good idea overall.
This isn't changing the rules. This is following the rules.

help choose between schools
Original post made by khurshid, Charleston Meadows, on Sep 9, 2006
any asap help would be provided, my kid is currently a kindergartener at briones and we have no problems and love the school so far. as of friday, we got a call saying that we had got in at hoover (we initially did'nt luck out with the lottery admission). i am in a dilemma -- whether or not to switch him to hoover or to keep him at briones.
any help/comments would be welcome. i know hoover is more academic, but does not seem to have/welcome the same level of parent participation that briones does. any thoughts on this???
thanks in advance...oh..the deadline for us to accept is by 7.30 a.m monday (11th sept)
please do pass on your comments asap...

This is an awkward question to answer for parents at either school, but I will try. I have had kids at several schools, one of them very much like Hoover, and now at Juana Briones.
I think the decision depends on what kind of kid and family you have/want. My eldest went to a structured, high expectation, old-fashioned type environment with little parent involvement allowed, a high homework load, and an old-fashioned emphasis on reading, writing and math. All the students were high performing. For him, it was great, and it fit him. He thrived on the structure and the workload. I missed, very much, the parent part. But, he was happy, learned a phenomenal amount and is now at Gunn reaping the benefits of being completely prepared to take any of the classes he wishes to take, and handle any workload he wishes.
That same environment was NOT good for my son who is now at Juana. He needed something completely different. In his case, he learned in a completely different way from the style of the school he was at. ( The same school as his elder brother). He started to believe he wasn't too smart, and started disliking school. So, he ended up at Juana when we decided to leave.I love Juana Briones, and recommend it to anyone and everyone, as being a school that can manage any kind of child and his needs. Our son is thriving there, and catching up beautifully. And I love being in a school where I can be involved. I have seen kids in kindergarten here who are reading at the 3rd grade level, in the same class with kids who are still learning their ABCs, and the teachers manage to keep all of them involved and challenged. I am very comfortable with the large variety of abilities in the school and the varied teaching styles. There is a teacher in each grade who is just right for every type of kid.
So, it really depends on what kind of environment you want or are comfortable with.

I have put some thought into this for you. I can't speak for the academic angle, but my thoughts are from the practical and social angles. If you like the school you are at, I say stay with it. My reasons are that now you are only in Kindergarten, but do you want to spend the next 6 years (or more) driving your child all over town to spend time with classmates at playdates and birthday parties. You will never be able to allow your child to walk or ride a bike to school and teach him/her a small level of independence which will carry on to middle and high school. (If you drive all the time now they will always expect it). Also, the children in our neighbourhood who go to the choice schools do not seem to know or become close friends with the others of our neighbourhood who know each other from the local "regular" school. Although there probably is a community feel to Hoover, you can't beat the feeling of walking (or bike riding or scootering) to school, meeting friends on the way and also getting to know your neighbours. If you are in your neighbourhood school you are able to help keep traffic off the roads during commute hours which makes the streets safer for all of us.
I hope that these thoughts help in your decision although I know that they don't particularly address your question. Let us know what you decide.

At the back to school ice cream social for the entering 6th graders, I talked to a mom who's child had come from Hoover. She was disappointed in her child's experience at Hoover and said it was ridiculously strict and way too much homework. Her son didn't like it. When I asked her why she had him in Hoover, she didn't realize that it was different than any other schools in Palo Alto...
Please make sure you know that your child will get a great education at whatever Palo Alto school they go to. If you want to choose this approach, you should make sure you have a personal compelling reason for it, and not just because its higher peforming school. Every silver lining has a cloud..

Different kids/families do well in different environments.
- Decide what is right for your family -- what fits with your beliefs and philosophy and culture.
- Remember that all Palo Alto schools are VERY good. You're deciding between 90th percentile and 99th percentile.
- How important is 99th percentile academics to you? Are you willing to sacrifice other after-school activities or free play to achieve it? Are you willing to incur additional stress to achieve it? Will your child be reasonably happy in spite of this stress?

The neighborhood school makes the most sense, in my opinion, unless you have a really compelling reason for selecting another school. I have experience commuting to schools and it can be a real hassle.

Although the decision must end up being a family one, don't ever sell Briones short (or for that matter dis Hoover): every school is different. Both my kids went to Briones and now several years later the results are in: 800 on the Math for the SAT II exams - Over 90% in the percentiles on STAR tests and most of all, happy, competent, joyful kids. They are aware of social justice issues, they know how to navigate the world, they relate to peers and adults equally well. Do I hold their elementary school responsible for these behaviors? Well, yes. I take some credit, but the atmosphere at Briones has served them well and I feel so lucky to have had that experience for them. I know you probably already decided and I'm guessing that you did the right thing for your kids, but just wanted to add my $.02.

You must be tiring very easily. Math was barely mentioned twice in this whole forum, in both cases peripherally and in context with other things.
You must REALLY dislike math. I'd also hazard a guess that you are one of these "I was bad in math" people and proud of it. What more needs one say?

thank you for all the comments as we are from out of the area and considering to move to Palo Alto. we were not aware of the various school options and choices but we are taking the time to visit the schools. we haven't purchased a home yet as we were looking at the various schools.

Anon: wow, I wrote of happy, joyful, competent kids who are aware of issues of social justice, can relate to adults, and can navigate the world well and all you pulled out was math? I was trying to point out that Briones can do equally well in the academic areas as well as in the social/emotional spheres. Unfortunately, Briones is all too often judged by it's test scores, API index and other narrow measures.
Seekinginfo very clearly put it when he/she posted to another forum this message: "My family is exploring the Palo Alto public elementary school options. Besides the info. that I have reviewed from greatschools.com I would like more information. Can you provide feedback regarding attendance to Barron Park/Briones versus enrolling in a different Palo Alto Elementary school k-5. Thank you very much." Not even here yet and their opinion is shaped by outside sources. I would love to believe they want to know what makes us so great, but,alas, I think that might not be the case.
Allow me to quote Dr Harold Jones when he was an interim principal at Briones: He was standing outside his office, hands in pockets grandly surveying the playground and smiling this enigmatic little smile. I asked him why the smile and he replied, "Nice little secret you guys have here." "I know," I said, "everybody here knows."
What they know isn't about the math...

From Seekinfo:
My question may not have been clear, but I do want to know what makes Briones/Barron a great school(test scores are not everything to us-we just browsed greatschools as a starting point).
I am looking for a neighborhood feel and a neighborhood school that my children can enjoy, make long lasting friendships, and a strong sense of community. We are attracted to the Barron Park neighborhood; therefore, we were looking for positive input regarding Briones/Barron from parents who have children attending either school.
a resident of Barron Park
on Oct 21, 2006 at 1:37 am
Pardon me, I mis-read your post. The best way to visit a school is to come here. If this is difficult, try to contact the principal, get some PTA names and call around. Palo Alto parents are proud of their schools; some parents are involved as PTA members, classroom volunteers or special project coordinators. The great thing about our schools is that they reflect the dedication and caring of all school community members. Each school is different, with its own personality and strengths, but we are as proud of our neighbors' accomplishments as we are of our own. Best of luck in your search!

Thread: Glass Catfish White Spots
Glass Catfish White Spots
Hi, I've had my glass catfish for about 4 days now. At the moment I only have three. I plan on getting three more to make up the numbers since I know they like to be in bigger groups (they only had 3 left in the petstore at the time)
Anyway, I'm cycling my tank with tetra safestart. I did fishless cycling for a month and ran into lots of problems, however I think it did some good and my tank is in pretty good condition.
One of the glass fish is much smaller than the other two and has white blotches on its body. I remember seeing some when it was in the petstore but I think they may have multiplied. The fish itself is acting ok, a little shy but he's very keen at supper time. He also swims about quite happily at night with the other two. The other two seem fine and look very healthy. I'm keeping an eye on all the nitrite/ammonia/nitrate levels and they are as follows:
Ammonia: 0.25ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 5ppm
I know ammonia should be 0 but I'm cycling with Tetra Safestart which keeps the levels unharmful until it cycles.
What can I do? Is there something I can buy to medicate the fish, is it something that might clear up on its own or does it mean imminant death?
Like I said, the fish is acting healthy and has only just recently started fighting the others for food, its not acting like its sick but I have no experience with tropical fish diseases. Please advise.
*Please don't complain about there only being three. I will add more once the tank has had more time to mature with the SafeStart, hopefully 1-2 weeks.

When you say "blotches" do they look like grains of salt or do they cover more area than that?
What temp is your tank at?
Whether or not you are using Safestart, you are still cycling with fish in the tank.
0Originally Posted by andreahp
My tank is at 25c at the minute.
I know the dangers of cycling with fish but i'm testing the water everday and as I said, the fish had signs of these marks on it when I was in the petstore, so I don't think it's been brought on by my tank.
Another question. The catfish is still showing signs of sickness. I read that it could be white spot disease and i've been treating the tank with medicine for it. However upon further research, i've concluded that it's probably a bacterial infection of some sort. I've read turing the heat up often kills this type of stuff.
I'm just worried that it might harm my glass catfish if I do.
I have glass catfish and glowlight tetra in the tank at the minute. I read glowlight actually like higher temps than my tank is currently at (25C/77F)
so I'm more concerned about the catfish.
All the other fish are doing great, no signs of stress or sickness. One of the glowlights is currently fat with eggs so maybe the temp increase would lead to fertalising. Not really ideal since my tank isn't big enough for another litter but hopefully it wont happen :p
Is it ok to turn the temperature up to around 82F to help my little catfish get rid of the disease or is it dangerous to do so. Also, if I can how should I do it, gradually increase the temp 1 degree, every couple of hours so it doesn't cause shock?

My glass cats do just fine in my 80 degree tank and the temp sneaks up a few degrees in the summer so I think you'll be fine with a gradual increase in temp if you needed to do that.

I agree with the above poster - if your fish have something that heat will help, than doing it gradually is the key - however, if you are already using meds, then increasing temp at the same time is dangerous because both methods remove oxygen from the water - I wouldn't do both - if meds appear to be working than stick with that and follow the directions on the package.
Also, it also won't help if you are medicating for something if you don't really know what it is.
I would lean towards a bacterial infection as well. I dont know about your store, but at my pet smart, glass catfish are pricey and sensitive to water conditions. I would not get those until your tank is finished cycling.
Many diseases that fish get are simply brought on by a compromised immune system due to stressed fish, stressed for any reason. If fish are happy their immune system will defend from many diseases.
I know that its tough to accomplish, but if you can, closely inspect the fish at the fish store before buying. If you see signs of trouble then dont buy them. risking infection to the rest of your tank is not worth it.
As far as fighting infection goes, I find the best cure is to raise the temp to 82-84 degrees and add some aquarium salt. (but in many cases its too late for the fish). Some pet stores also recommend adding melafix. I tried this once, but the smell of it was in my house for weeks, and it freaked me out some. plus my filter has activated carbon mixed in the filter floss and that removes the effectiveness of most medicines, so I didnt continue treatment. But putting a small dose of that in your tank to help shouldnt hurt anything either.
Let us know how things turn out for you.55 Gallon Freshwater Tank (semi-planted) 48"x21"x13"

Thanks for all the advice. The catfish is still covered in white smudges, I think they have started to cover more of its body. It's swiming around normally and it's always the first one to eat when the food is added. It's acting healthy which is good. The other fish are fine, showing no signs of illness or stress. The catfish has been sick for 10 days now since I got him, and who knows how long before hand. I would have expected to find him dead long before now but he doesn't show signs of weakness. It's the strangest thing. It's also been 10 days since I started the fish-in cycle with Tetra Safestart. The cycle is no where near finished, checking the water levels everyday and the readings are more or less always:
Ammonia: 0.25ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 0-5ppm
I'm medicating the tank for bacteria and particularly fungal infections. It says to dose every 3-4 days as long as symptons persist. It's been two days since I dosed and it doesn't appear to be making much difference. I'll continue on and hope for the best.
I think this is a large reason that the fish-less cycle is recommended. Your full focus needs to be on getting the tank cycled.
When you have the small bio load of a few fish paired with the stress the fish are going through with an uncycled tank and then chemically treating the tank and doing water changes to try to save the fish, then the cycle really has a hard time completing. If you are treating bacteria or fungus with a chemical product, then you could be hurting your cycle, and if you have charcoal in your filter, then putting the chemical in there is useless to begin with.
Some people may disagree with me, but here is how I did it and it worked for me. If you insist of going with a fish-in cycle, after adding de-chlorinator (prime) then stock your tank to 60% of your final stocking goal. Add your good bacteria (full dosage) , then every few days add a 20%-25% additional dosage to your tank. Then dont mess with anything, no chemical additives, no water changes, no substrate cleaning until the cycle is complete. If you go crazy and cant resist doing a water change, MAKE SURE TO DECHLORINATE! I do a double dose of Prime, and only cyphon water off the top, dont suck up the good bacteria in your substrate, and only do about 25%.
You may lose a few fish, thats going to happen with a fish in cycle. But if you got a cheap fish from petsmart or petco, you can always take it back. I would recommend a hardy fish like danios, barbs, or larger tetras. Small cardinal and neon tetras do not work. Lamp Eye and Black Skirt Tetras do very well.
Hope this is helpful!55 Gallon Freshwater Tank (semi-planted) 48"x21"x13"

In a commencement address at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore on May 25, 2006, New York City's mayor Michael R. Bloomberg decried the political manipulation of science to further ideological ends, saying, "Today, we are seeing hundreds of years of scientific discovery being challenged by people who simply disregard facts that don't happen to agree with their agenda ... Some call it pseudoscience, others call it faith-based science, but when you notice where this negligence tends to take place, you might as well call it 'political science.'"
The ruling in the appeal of Selman et al. v.

The three-judge panel vacated the district court's judgment and remanded the case for further evidential proceedings.
Featured in the May 25, 2006, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine is George J. Annas's article "Intelligent Judging -- Evolution in the Classroom and the Courtroom."

In Minnesota, Senate File 2994 was passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate on May 20, 2006, but without the provision that would have prohibited the state department of education and local school districts from "utilizing a nonscientifically based curriculum, such as intelligent design, to meet the required science academic standards under this section."

The error message is EXC_BAD_ACCESS
I'm using Xcode on a Cocoa application.
I'm using the standard scriptbuilder add-on (from the latest version as well) and the crash happens during module building. I'm using the latest array add-on too.
One thing I noticed is that it only happens if I define AS_MAX_PORTABILITY, otherwise the crash won't happen (though most of my code still won't work but there's a great chance this is my bad, probably because all my code was made to run on MAX_PORTABILITY environment).
I'm running a very minimalistic script in order to make it clearer to debug the crash, which is:
[source lang="java"]void main(){ LoadScene("empty"); Foo[] foo;}class Foo{ int a;}[/source]
I have reproduced this crash on other situations and I'm pretty sure it is the array declaration that causes this crash (if I comment it out, no crash happens).
However, when I declare variations of this array type, behavior changes:
Foo@[] foo; // doesn't crash
Foo@[]@ foo; // doesn't crash
Foo[]@ foo; // crashes
I hope I could give enough details. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

And Springfield.

Not SW, but picked up IJ wave 1 at Balt. Target using 087-06-0651DPCI#.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
I found remnants of wave 2 at the TRU in Frederick yesterday. I picked up the Vader for a collecting buddy and another EVO trooper for myself. I'm still looking for more Black guards, but apparently so are a lot of people.
The cashier told me to come back on may 1st because some new SW exclusives will be out. She said they had been mistakenly put out earlier and the computer wouldn't let them be sold so all of them were carted to the back. The only things I know of coming out at TRU next month are some exclusive battlepacks (there were no battlepacks out in their SW display,) so that might be it. It could also be the White TIE, but those are hitting the shelves out west. If anyone else has any theories I'd love to hear them.
Also, I missed the G.I. Joe commanding officers pack with Grunt, Hawk, and Duke. If anyone sees one can you pick it up for me? I'll gladly pay for it and the shipping.
The cashier is probably confusing the Indy toys with Star Wars. They're supposed to be released on May 1.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

I got my RAH 501st Clone Trooper yesterday. The stand sucked, the clone is cool though not too poseable. I was surprised by how much taller and larger he is than the Shadow Stormtrooper. It's like two different scales almost. This clone is definitely up to scale with the Sideshow jedis.

There are 5 Hawbat clones on the pegs this morning at Burbank Target if anyone wants to go get them before Chubby13 arrives. There is also a Lakers R2.
I found and bought a Marvel Legends Marvel Girl and Hydra soldier, both variants.
Hot Wheels guys are gone from that store since someone in the back room is snatching all the treasure hunts, white lightnings, and whatever chase cars from the cases. It's been 3 weeks since that's been going on and plumber bob and beautiful Bobby kinda gave up on that store.
picked up a vader and fett mighty mug, stormie still MIA but the wal-marts and targets I hit up last night had lots of MM chewie, han, maul and vader.
also picked up a series one cobra commander
no new comic packs to be seen here in the LBC yet?? However, the evolutions sets are warming shelves already.
saw a good amount of wave 7, 7.5 and 8 too, minus all mcfigs of course
GIGANTA: A robot that automatically produces fun!
Of course after arranging to pick up that last elusive coin figure (Starkiller) this afternoon from Crunchy, I just happen upon three of them hanging on the pegs at Target at Desoto and Ventura. Also a few Hawkbats, Animated Fetts, McFetts and some other regulars.
I also saw for the first time those odd looking Mighty Mug things (remind me of Shmoo!). Just a Han and somebody else. I don't have a clue what the point of them is and they didn't grab me, so I left them lying there waiting for a good home and/or scalpers table.
Last night, Target on Sepulveda and Burbank had a few more ARC ships (with the face) on sale, but at about $15 a piece instead of the $7 that the other Target had. Is it odd for two different Targets to have different sale prices on the same item?

Boards of supervisors in most Northeast Mississippi counties have been the recipient of evaluations and recommendations about courthouses, jails and most other kinds of public property, and often those reports have come from grand juries with direct, even critical language.
Itawamba County's Board of Supervisors received advice from a judicial system figure last week, a federal judge, who was speaking as a member of the Fulton Community Volunteers, a community interest/action group whose only power is effective persuasion.
Judge Sharion Aycock of the U.S. District Court for Northern Mississippi delivered the recommendation that appearance and amenities improvements at the Itawamba County Courthouse would help the appeal of the area.
Aycock is a member of Fulton Community Volunteers.
As a result, the courthouse will receive a lot of "sprucing up" by order of the Board of Supervisors.
The Itawamba County board is like other governing councils: Limited resources for upkeep of admittedly vital public buildings.
The Itawamba County Board of Supervisors voted to purchase plants and a new park-style bench for the courthouse in downtown Fulton. The work, estimated at approximately $2,500, will be undertaken in part by FCV.
This is the second time Itawamba County has worked with the FCV to tidy up the outside of the courthouse.
Last year, the board approved the expenses of having the building and its walkways pressure washed, the trees and shrubbery pruned and seasonal shrubs planted. All of that work was either performed or overseen by members of the FCV.
"This is the county seat," Aycock told the board. "This should be the prettiest place in Itawamba County. This should be the showcase."
Aycock also suggested the board consider hiring someone to perform year-round maintenance on the courthouse grounds for safety and aesthetics.
Additional decisions remain, but Aycock's advice has both practical and aesthetic enhancement strengths to improve the downtown Fulton area for everyone who uses the courthouse and the nearby neighborhoods.

If one clear message emerged from last week's five-day Daily Journal series on literacy education in Mississippi, it's that there is no single, simple solution to raising the reading levels of the state's schoolchildren.
The complexity of the issue doesn't mean we can't make progress, but every piece must be seen as part of the whole.
Mississippi has an inordinate number of children living in poverty – about one-third of the total. That by itself throws up hurdles to overcome, since such households generally lack the level of reading materials, enrichment experiences and vocabulary-expanding conversations of more affluent homes.
Our state also has no coordinated, high-quality, state-funded early childhood education system that could better prepare children from challenged home environments to be ready to learn to read when they enter kindergarten.
Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps sees first-hand the effects of these conditions. Fifty percent of state inmates didn't finish high school, and since that's self-reported, the percentage of dropouts in prison is likely higher. Epps says the average inmate reads on a sixth-grade level; Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson says locally it's more like fourth grade.
Epps sees a direct connection between what happens to children who fall behind early and can't succeed in school and our second-highest-in-the-nation incarceration rate. If Mississippi wants to reduce crime and the inmate population, pre-K education is the most important step that can be taken, Epps believes.
All of this doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement in how reading is taught and in the overall quality and consistency of instruction. But the current policy emphasis on not promoting third graders who do poorly on state reading tests must be understood in the context of this web of complexity.
Florida, for example, provided literacy coaches and teacher training when it adopted the "third-gate" program of not promoting poor third-grade readers. It also made major investments in pre-K.
It appears likely at this point that a third-gate bill of some kind will make it out of the Legislature this session, but it's not clear how much support it will provide for the effort. Merely demanding that children read better without adequate support systems won't do the job; the effort must be seen as part of a greater whole.

Shell dweller - most peaceful? cleaning sand?
I'm looking to start a shell dweller tank - the tank is about 22 gallons. What are the most peaceful of shelly species? Is this tank large enough to keep two species or should I settle for one? If not two shellies, is it possible to keep any other more docile fish with a single shelly species?
The other question I have is about sand - I've had sand in a tank before and found it incredibly challenging to clean (half of the sand would get siphoned up and end up in the bucket). And lastly, does anyone have tips for where to purchase sand that is suitable for an aquarium?
Have you looked at Neolamprologus multifasciatus . I've heard they're very interesting. They are also small and you could have several in that tank, plus the could breed and any extrad you could sell to your local fish store (lfs). As far as I know they are peaceful.
For sand, I don't have experience cleaning it, but I bought some for my new tank at my LFS.American League Champions! TIGERS!
What are the dimensions of your tank? Footprint size is actually more important than gallonage with shellies.
When you do a water change on a tank with sand, you don't actually stick the siphon into the sand, you hover it a bit above the sand, not close enough to actually suck any up. If you wave the siphon around a bit, the poo and debris (which is lighter weight than the sand) rises up and gets siphoned up, and the sand stays put).
As far as where to get sand, it depends what you're looking for. Fish generally are more comfortable and show better colors with darker sand, so you could either get a dark sand meant for aquariums on the internet or at your LFS (or Petco/Petsmart) or go with a blasting sand at Menards or Home Depot. If you go with a lighter colored sand, playsand or pool filter sand will be fine."The Dumpster Tank" 26g flat back hex - Bolivian rams, Checker barbs, Harlequin and porkchop rasbora, neon tetra, SAE, otocinclus
"Mini Mbuna" 20g long - 1 M. pulpican, 1 M. joanjohnsonae
"Electric Blue Acara Tank" 75g - Giant danio, tiger barb, Bristlenose pleco
One species of substrate-spawning cichlid is all you'll have space for regardless of which one you choose. Multi's are the smallest, and don't lose interest or even eat their fry shortly after they're free-swimming like most larger species of shellies. Endler's, guppies, or some otehr small livebearer that likes hard water would probably mix well enough.
Pool filter sand or a small grade of gravel (looks like sand but larger grains) is easier to deal with when cleaning the tank.

The exact dimensions are unknown at this point because the tank is sitting in a friend's garage - I'm still quite early in the planning stages. From the photos, the tank looks to be approximately 3 feet long, 1 foot deep, maybe 16" tall.
I'm currently leaning toward Neolamp. cylindricus, lamp. ocellatus 'gold, lepidolamp. hecqui, or neolamp. leleupi. Probably most interested in the gold ocellatus or leleupi. Would either of these be fitting for this size tank?
Is there a secret for rinsing sand prior to putting it in the tank? Last time I had a tank with sand it was cloudy for weeks.
Lastly, is a sponge filter the best option if I plan on eventually breeding?
Thank you all for your responses.
If those measurements are correct it's a 30 long.
Cylindricus grow too large and aggressive for that size tank, and leleupi are nasty little buggers too. The gold occie's are hard to pair up and spawn successfully in larger tanks, more often kill each other than anything else (from what I've gathered reading about them on various cichlid forums.)
The hecqui are pretty mellow, you shouldn't have trouble with a pair of those raising fry in a 3' tank.
If the water is cloudy just stuff some polyester "floss" into the hob filter and run it for a day or two to clear it up, then throw out the floss. All you really need is a sponge filter, better yet get some poret foam and do a mattenfilter on one end of the tank. Would work with either an air pump or a hob filter.
Cleaning sand is just tedious and time-consuming rather than difficult (like gravel, but moreso). Here's a short video:

Put some sand (don't use the whole bag, as it's more difficult to rinse) in your tote/bucket. Fill the bucket almost full with water, then swish swish swish swish it around with your hands. Allow it to settle for only a few seconds, then dump off the water. Some of the sand will be lost as well, but most of it will be the super light particles that would normally cloud up your tank.
Seriously... repeat.
I generally rinse my sand at least six times. I rinse it until the water is clear, and then rinse it one more time for good measure. I end up with a lot of sand in the bottom of my tub, and I just simply let that dry and then sweep it up and throw it outside.
When adding water to my tank for the first time with sand, I generally put a dinner plate at the bottom so the water doesn't disturb the sand."The Dumpster Tank" 26g flat back hex - Bolivian rams, Checker barbs, Harlequin and porkchop rasbora, neon tetra, SAE, otocinclus
