Vena was born in Red Bay, Ala., on Dec. 31, 1915, the sixth child of William Dalton Wood and Minnie Mae Smith Wood. On Sept. 9, 1934, Vena married Nelson Ward Baldwin.They were married 54 years before his death in 1988.
To the Baldwins were born two children, Gayle and Sharon. Mrs. Baldwin was the keeper of the home and was very active in every aspect of the lives of her husband and her children. For the entirety of their lives together, she poured herself unconditionally and joyfully into them. She was a constant source of Godly guidance, encouragement and instruction. She was an excellent wife and mother who earned the utmost honor and respect. It was in her passion for her family that her true spirit and character were most clearly reflected. Anyone who ate at her table once never forgot the experience. She was an excellent cook.
She was a believer in the gospel of Jesus Christ and was unwavering in her commitment to follow Christ and His commands all her life. She worshipped most of her adult life at First Baptist Church of Booneville. She was a serious student of the Bible and could be found most any time of the day or night reading her Bible. Over the years, she served on many committees of her church, and she was a longtime WMU member. In 1971, she realized a lifelong dream of touring the Holy Land, visiting many areas she had read about in her Bible studies.
She will be remembered by all who knew her well as an extraordinary woman, full of grace and truth, who modeled true humility and a willingness to serve others throughout her life. In addition to her family, she tirelessly gave her talents, time and love to those who were so fortunate as to know her. Those who knew her best would agree that through her life, she made others' lives richer.
Mrs. Baldwin is survived by her son, Richard Gayle Baldwin, and his wife, Glenda; her daughter, Sharon Baldwin Smith, and her husband, Jak; three beloved grandchildren, Dr. Nathan Ward Baldwin and his wife, Kelley, Hope Geno McCoy and her husband, Jonathan, and Manny Geno and his wife, Beth; and six precious great-grandchildren, Alex Baldwin, age 13, Jon Thomas McCoy, age 11, Eli McCoy, age 9, Clayton McCoy, age 6, Haley Brooke Geno, age 7, and Bennett Geno, age 5.

TUPELO – The city of Tupelo and its public school district will receive a statewide award next week recognizing their collaboration.
The two entities are winners of a Governor's Award from the Mississippi Association of Partners in Education. The award will be presented during the Governor's Awards luncheon on Thursday at the Jackson Hilton.
"We are really honored to be selected for this high honor and salute Mayor Reed and his leadership team for staying steadfast to this collaboration," said Tupelo School Superintendent Gearl Loden. "Both entities recognize that well-supported schools create communities that people want to move to and stay in."
The award recognizes numerous projects on which the city and the Tupelo Public School District have partnered. Those include the Safe Splash swimming program for second-graders, an agreement allowing the schools to use city parks and giving residents access to school playgrounds, the Safe Routes to School Program that adds sidewalks near schools, the police department's donation of bicycle helmets to children and the Mayor's Marathon that encourages students to be physically active, among others.
"I think it demonstrates when you compare our school district to other districts in Mississippi in a fair, unbiased way, we are one of the top school districts in the state," Tupelo Mayor Jack Reed Jr. said. "Tupelo's success is joined at the hip with the Tupelo Public School District."
The award is one of six Governor's Awards that will be given recognizing various partnerships involving schools, school districts and universities. In addition, eight Partnership Excellence Awards will be presented. Winners are chosen by a MAPE board that reviews applications.
The awards were created in 2001 to highlight some of the best, most successful partnerships in the state.
"The Governor's Award brings publicity to the good work people are already doing and highlights ideal partnerships people could adapt to their community and visit firsthand," said Michael Bentley, president of MAPE.

|Lines, Loops and Leaders Line / Leader Recipes, Loops, Splices, etc.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I had several long discussions on line twist with Bruce Richards a few years ago.
When we roll cast,,,,,we form a half twist,,,,many casters also form a half twist in their lines with the casting motion on each cycle.
One way to minimize the twisting is to have only enough line in your basket to complete the cast,,,,any additional line loose line in the basket will quickly form twists. This is very apparent in fly casting from a boat with loose line on the deck.
Bruce recommended (for single handed rods) to note the direction of twist (c'wise vs. counter c'wise) and untwist the line by holding the rod vertically and rotating the tip in a circle in the opposite direction. You may look funny to other FF but it will quickly remove the line twist.
It is amazing how many FF blame a new line for the twists when they are creating the problem,,,,not the line.
Fred Krow
|Willie Gunn
Today I was fishing the Spey it was hot and bright so I was stripping a long winged collie dog fly using a shooting head and running line. On the cast the running line knotted and tangled in the rings as I pulled it back and started to untangle it a fish took. Panic but I managed to wind the tangle on to the reel the decided to play the fish on a short line. (Not much option really)Eventually landed a released a small(luckily) grilse.
There is no way I would wear a basket............it would clash with my tweeds:-)
Untwist your line...
Hi Mark,
I too was frustrated by the high number of tangles I was getting when starting out with the Atlantis. I found the biggest factor for me was to get the twist out of the line. I would strippout a 150 foot or so and cast it out, check for the direction of the twist the I would twist it the opposite way and walk down the line rolling the line. I'd go back a check for twist if there was still some I'd repeat the process until there was no twisting tendancy. Now I rarely see tangles as compared to before. I'm convinced line twist was the cause of most of my tangle problems with or without a stripping basket.
Tight lines,
The competing thing was just a friendly joke, such jostling can actually help by making sure we pursue with the 10000 other things competing with our time. Good luck with your effort dude, the more the merrier I say.
As far as the water thing... got that solved.
As far as competing with you my friend, I am in no position to set up any kind of business. Ill be lucky to have leader material and be able to replenish my fly tying box as things run out over the next couple years. My only goals in the next several months will be to build two shooting heads and at least one fiberglass Burke Bottom.
I would also agree with your assessment of the panacea basket. Definitely not the magic bullet. I am still debating the issue of a closed or open basket. I dont like large waves upsetting my carefully laid line, but I also dont like having five gallons of water pull me down in the front after a container ship floats by out there at Point No Point. My oversized basket would hold a lot of water if it was enclosed.
I look forward to the day when we can pool our resources on the beach.
Holes allow water to enter, which agitates the line like a washing machine and negates the effect of the minimal line holding loops provided.
Unsure how it will hold up in wind, or keep the line inside when howling but I am not confident it will pass the test with those holes and soft foam construction.
Color kinda bright for the flats, fish could give you a wider berth than you want.
Of course until it's actually tried one never knows, but past experience would indicate it's far from the panacea.
|Very interesting. fliesunlimited.com/the_stripper.html
Hey Matt & Juro...
Well hurry up! We are all waiting impatiently. Has anyone tried the basket made by Stan Pleskunas out of Watsonville, CA?
|Dble Haul
Thanks guys....I share your frustrations with the baskets currently available today.
FWIW, most of my tangles are the result of line twist. I'll be more mindful of where I place the line in the basket as I retrieve (i.e., not all in one heap).
Juro/Mattzoid- If you gentlemen need beta testers for your designs, you know where to find me.
|Free enterprise - gotta love it! Good luck competing buddy
|Actually, I was thinking of going one step further with my design as off the shelf plastics don't really fit the bill. I am going to build fiberglass molds and experiment with different shapes and sizes on the cones. I believe PVC running line will require a different shape than mono, but overall, a cone along the lines of a spinner like I have pictured, is the best for shooting. My basket is just a mock up and I will be working on size and placement. And then, once I have the perfect bottom I will build molds to fit the bottom of off the shelf baskets. These will be placed in say an Orvis as an upgrade. This would work to my advantage in several ways. I don't have to worry about basket patents and only have to patent the mold design. Cost is reduced in shipping and production because there are thousands of baskets already out there that need a "Burke Bottom." Most guys are not going to want to buy another basket when all they really need is to just drop a few bucks on a "Burke Bottom." Once the molds are made I can turn them out as needed. I'll have my "Burke Bottom" running all up and down the west coast. Guess what I am going to call it and you know you're going to want it. The puget Sound tested Burke Bottom.
The biggest factor IMHO is basket design, then the fact that there is so much more of it being used for casting, then the running like itself.
Baskets are so inadequate I've decided to commision engineers to build a 3D Cad model of my new design for gathering quotes from plastics companies in the area. I consider this the root cause because a good basket can make most running lines workable, where changing the running line won't help a bad basket. I am planning to patent, manufacture and sell this new basket.
When making moderate casts, any running line seems manageable. But when you suddenly can throw close to or up to the backing knot all the time that's a huge amount of line in the basket.
With today's commercially available baskets, switching the running line makes a difference to a point. The steady howl with 35 mph gusts at Boneclave were beyond that point, but under normal conditions the running line you use makes a big difference. I have been wondering if a sinking shooting line would be a good option to keep things in the basket.
However in the end a well-made basket (far beyond what we use today) is the core solution and should be where one spends their attention in solving this problem.
|This is my basket. Very large, but I don't care. Notice the cones. There were more like the ones with the square base, but in trying to constantly modify the bottom, I broke them. Found some spinners in a R/C Airplane Shop and they fit the bill. I'd put in 4" ones if they weren't 70 bucks. Those are 3". This set up produces the least amount of tangles in mono. PVC lines are not near as bad.
I use 50lb slickshooter and get tangles sometimes. I think it is just something that will happen every once in a while.
You really need to pay attention to how you are placing the line in the basket. I usually use a 2 handed retrive and I make sure to strip the line into opposite sides of the basket on each strip. I actually physically hit the sides of my basket on each strip with each hand as it helps me remeber to pay attention to how I am placing the line in the basket and this seems to eliminate most of the tangle problems.
|It gets worse if you use mono. My basket is large. The same hand basket you would find at Safeway. I have small cones in the bottom (I should post a pic). Being aware of how you lay the line in the basket, not just one spot, kind of spread around (I try to go around to each corner in a clockwise motion). Never keep more in there than you need. Sometimes if the last ten feet just sits in the bottom without getting out, it will twist from stripping above it. I'll leave the last ten feet out or just toss it out and start stripping in from there. That way the whole length of line that I am using gets the kinks stretched out. Keeping the basket under the rod while shooting instead of at an angle. Geez, I don't know what else to think of. I'm on my own for learning this over head crap out here on the west coast.

With 16 years of executive service under his belt, Menino is the longest-serving mayor in the city's history. So it is no surprise that he is seen as the leader of the political pack.
Menino has not faced a vigorous challenge since 1993. This year, the focused and intelligent candidacies of City Councilors Sam Yoon and Michael Flaherty, as well as the campaign of inspired maverick Kevin McCrea, have some voters thinking it is time for a change.
Even the city's two dailies lately seem to have shed their assumptions that Menino should be mayor for life.
With the national economy still in meltdown, and city finances likely to be even more painfully strained next year than they are now, Boston desperately needs a vigorous debate about how it will confront an uncertain future.
The Phoenix believes that Sam Yoon is best equipped to challenge Menino in November's final election.
Yoon and Menino are studies in contrast.
At age 39, Yoon is a member of a rising generation.
The child of Korean parents, having become a naturalized American citizen when he was 10 years old, Yoon identifies with the aspirations and challenges of the immigrant community that makes up an increasing portion of Boston's population.
Yoon's degrees from Princeton and Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government have sensitized him to the importance of new ideas.
And Yoon's time spent as an urban public-school teacher and a community organizer, as well as his work in community development, demonstrates that he has the grit and determination to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty.
The fact that he is the first Asian-American ever to be elected to a Boston citywide office demonstrates that Yoon can transcend the narrow preconceptions that on too many occasions still choke local political life.
As President Barack Obama has done in Washington, Yoon here at home offers reasonable hope that new people with new ideas can yield new results.
In more concrete terms, Yoon seeks to dismantle the Boston Redevelopment Authority, replacing it with a Department of Community Development and Planning. His "smart cap" plan would allow successful charter schools to serve more of Boston's students. And he is committed to creating jobs in the new "green economy."
Beyond specific proposals, Yoon has pledged to open up our stultified City Hall to transparent oversight, and to the bright, energetic minds of Boston's institutions. An advocate of term limitations, he has promised that, if elected, he would serve a maximum of two terms.
Yoon has captured the hearts of those who long for a change in Boston.
But if he is to be mayor, Yoon must first convince a majority of voters that he has the head for the job. Despite this newspaper's enthusiasm for his candidacy, we recognize that Yoon's electoral experience, while promising, is limited.
To capture the mayoralty, Yoon will have to offer more than ideas. He is going to have to speak to specifics and — perhaps most vexing of all — explain how he will pay for his programs.
Boston politics are notoriously bruising. A tough election is only a warm-up for the even tougher job of governing this cantankerous city.
Menino is a wily and capable incumbent. His long tenure — he has outlasted Mayors James Michael Curley, Kevin White, and Raymond Flynn in office — is built on the fact that people consistently underestimate him. They do so at their peril.
A race between Menino and Yoon should ensure voters have a real choice in November.
Vote for Sam Yoon in Tuesday's election.

Public Two-Year Colleges
Minnesota's public two-year schools can be broken down into two general categories: technical college and community colleges. Some combined technical and community colleges offer a mix of technical college and community college courses and programs. Minnesota also has several tribal colleges which provide an education similar to that received at a community college.
Public two-year colleges accept all students with a high school diploma or GED. However, some programs are more selective and have high preparation standards and waiting lists to get in so students are strongly encouraged to prepare for college-level work by taking the recommended classes.
Technical Colleges
Technical colleges offer courses and programs that emphasize hands-on knowledge and skills that lead to specific jobs in technical and industrial occupations to business, marketing and sales careers. Instructors are often former business owners or skilled practitioners with solid experience in the occupations they teach. Local employers work closely with the colleges to ensure the teaching of skills demanded in today's job market. Technical colleges offer programs ranging in length from three months to two years.
What You Can Earn:
- Certificates
- Diplomas
- Associate in Applied Science degree
Community Colleges
Community Colleges provide students with the first two years of a four-year college education or career-specific training in two years or less. Graduates of community colleges can transfer to other colleges or universities to complete a four-year degree. Community colleges offer general education courses, occupational programs and developmental and college preparatory courses for those who need to brush up on basic skills. Evening and weekend classes offer flexibility for working students. Most offer a chance to participate in athletics, clubs and activities in theater, music or the arts.
What You Can Earn:
- Certificates
- Diplomas
- Associate in Arts degree

Austin wins American Physical Society award
Posted October 26, 2004; 10:32 a.m.
The American Physical Society has awarded its 2004 Lilienfeld Prize to physicist Robert Austin for his work combining physics and biology.
The society gives the Lilienfeld Prize, which includes a $10,000 award, "for outstanding contributions to physics by a single individual who also has exceptional skills in lecturing to diverse audiences." The prize citation notes his "pioneering and creative work in applying advanced techniques in experimental physics to significant problems in biological physics."
Past recipients of the Lilienfeld award have included Stephen Hawking and Nobel laureates Frank Wilczek and Claude Cohen-Tannoudji.
Austin, who received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, joined the Princeton faculty in 1979 as an assistant professor of physics and has been a full professor since 1989. In 1999, he was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

As a lawyer in turn-of-the-century Washington, D.C., Ben Corbett represents the toughest cases. Fighting against oppression and racism, he risks his family and his life in the process. When President Roosevelt asks Ben to return to his home town to investigate rumors of the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan there, he cannot refuse.
When he arrives in Eudora, Mississippi, Ben meets the wise Abraham Cross and his beautiful daughter, Moody. Ben enlists their help, and the two Crosses introduce him to the hidden side of the idyllic Southern town. Lynchings have become commonplace and residents of the town's black quarter live in constant fear. Ben aims to break the reign of terror - but the truth of who is really behind it could break his heart.
Written in the fearless voice of Detective Alex Cross, Alex Cross's Trial is a gripping story of murder, love, and, above all, bravery.
Solve another case with Alex Cross.
©2009 James Patterson; (P)2009 Hachette
"In a word ... miserable"
Generally. I'm not given to writing negative reviews, if I don't like a book ... I figure I've already wasted enough of my time ... but this book has driven me to make an exception. I gave up reading Patterson when his writing started feeling more an exercise in prolific banality than creative genius. I really enjoyed his early work and especially the character, Alex Cross. One more chance I thought ... this is Alex Cross. All I can say is I wish I had my ten bucks back, this was miserable. Patterson cares more about the commercial buck than his writng craft. Too bad he sold himself down such a cheap river.
Listen to about four audio books a months. Never without one.
"Poor story; Worse narration"
I decided to read the book because I enjoy recent historical fiction. I was especially interested in learning about the deep South and how blacks were treated in the early 1900's. I was so disappointed. There was little depth to the book, yet such a deep subject. I thought it was slow and violence just for the sake of violence. The narration was painful. I never felt like the book took place over a hundred years. The narrative had a rather hip, sarcastic tone and absolutely no southern accent even though it was in first person and the character was from Mississippi. Too many chapters. The music at the end of some of the chapters was totally annoying and not necessary. The worst audible book I have ever listened to. I should have gone with my gut and quit an hour into it.
"Keep looking"
I hate to leave bad reviews, but it really is that awful. It's a lot like The Magic Treehouse childrens' series, except with extreme violence. Weirdly, the poor narrator reads these harrowing scenes in a chipper, slightly amused voice. There's lot of good audiobooks here, but this is not one of them.
"I Feel Manipulated"
If you are considering getting this book in order to experience another great adventure of Alex Cross - forget it. Alex Cross's name is boldly included in the title of this book, but this book is NOT about him - not at all. It's about an ancestor of his. While the story that's the basis for the book is okay, James Patterson and the publisher blatantly manipulates potential readers by including in the book's title the name of a well known and much beloved character - Alex Cross. We deserve better and they should be appropriately criticized.
"Where was Alex Cross?"
I kept waiting for the connection to Alex Cross. Some characters had the last name of Cross, but I never did figure out why this book was titled Alex Cross's Trial. The book was slow and verbose. I felt like the author was trying to get to certain word count level.
Lawd, lawd, there is nothing more frustrating that listening to a non-southerner try to imitate a Mississippi accent. Worse, when they try to conjure up a Mississippi Negro accent. There is the barest connection to Alex Cross in this story, so I felt mislead that this was advertised as a Cross novel. Also, it is beginning to get on my nerves that Mr Patterson gets so much credit for books he does not solely author. How much of his books are his, and how much of the credit belongs to his co-authors? Is Mr. Patterson incapable of writing a book by himself?
"Terrible BOOK ! Do not waste your time"
Can't give u a full review because we stopped after 10 minutes or so...
"Just as good as I'd hoped."
Many people have given this book low ratings just because it wasn't an "Alex Cross" book. Just reading the synopsis tells you exactly what the book is about and why I wanted to read it. Although I listened to the book, my husband actually read it and we were both enthralled. I think the narrator added so much to my enjoyment that I can't give it anything less than five stars. Anyone who has ever read any history about the South and the KKK knows how very real this book depicts that time. Good job Patterson for reminding us of what should never happen again in this country.
"Not an Alex Cross book"
If your looking for the next suspense thrilled chapter in Alex Cross's life, keep waiting. This is racial historical folklore disguised as a bedtime story told by Cross about generations past. Nana Momma isn't even a factor. Even family guy retrospects include a tie to current situations as stupid as they are.
This is another "co-author" James Patterson example of putting his name on someone else's work, possibly for the money or to rack up his total publication numbers. If he's giving NEW TALENT a break, he should be much more selective! It would be like Patricia Cornwell narrating a story of Scarpetta's niece Lucy's grandparents courtship with zero connection to current story lines.
How will we know when the next Patterson novel is really he former " Beach House" or "Roses are Red" quality. I'm not buying anymore DUAL Author let downs.
This book will weave you into the intrigue and webs of deception in the early 19th century. Although, the slaves have been freed, the deep south has alternative plans for the black people and decides they should be eliminated. Excellect read! Warning!! You cannot put it down once you begin.

Former White House official confirms operation said to be rumor

In the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks while U.S. airspace was restricted, planes sanctioned by the Bush administration flew about the country gathering some 140 high-ranking Saudi Arabians – including several relatives of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden – who were then spirited out of the country within a week of the terror, according to a senior official.
While the Saudis have long denied involvement in the massacre that claimed the lives of some 3,000 people, 15 of the 19 hijackers came from the kingdom. Former White House counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke described the Saudi exodus in an interview for the current issue of Vanity Fair on newsstands today. Clarke, who left the White House in February, lends confirmation to reports of the evacuation which first surfaced in September 2001

Newcomer here. I've been working on my first project that has quite a bit of code. I come from coding in microsoft visual studio where you can minimize sections of code. I think this would be a great feature to have in the IDE as I would like to be able to minimize sections of code that have been debugged. It would make a much cleaner approach at coding - at least for me.Sorry if this has already been brought up.

My GRCA came yesterday. Looks like another great issue. Thanks for all the hard work that goes into it. I read the article on judy first. Very well done. I have been fortunate to see Judy run her dogs at trials when I was in Montana. After Christmas I will have time to enjoy the field issue.

Bait that was a great article, very much enjoyed reading it. I love that whole issue, lots of great "field" Goldens, that pic of Bev's Tully shows how hndsome he is. "They call me Tully", I love it.
Even having known Judy Rasmuson for many years, it is impossible to not be overwhelmed by reading the history of her and her Goldens. In an era where it is very hard to title a single Golden in field trials, just a couple years ago she had four FC or AFC or both titled Goldens at one time. She titled her first two or three dogs as a complete amateur. She has a long history of FC AFC Goldens and Labs. She doesn't make excuses or blame politics when her dogs don't do well, she just bears down and works harder. She has high standards and hih expectations for her dogs. Quite impressive.
Loved it all! This is my first issue of GR News and I felt like my 3 yr old granddaughter must have felt on Christmas day! Great informative interview with Judy R. Can you imagine being an Amateur and getting invited to winter training with Jackie M and Mike Lardy ??? Holy Cow!
Loved seeing that Bait has an upland hunting article - saved it for reading today! Can't wait. And love all of Glenda Brown's work and everyone's advertising. Might be the only magazine in the world that I love the ads so much!!
I'm giddy and can't wait to dig in deeper when I get home from work!
I have also been waiting for my GRnews, but the article is on the GRCA site. I can't post the url until I have at least 5 posts, or I would give you the direct link.
My GRCA News just arrived today ..will be reading tonight.
In the meantime, though...Kathy and Bait, a most beautiful, humbling tribute and love of..."Zeke"...

Imatinib mesylate - Branded by Novartis as Gleevec in the US and as Glivec in China and India
What is Glivec?
Glivec or imatinib mesylate is the first of a class of drugs that specifically inhibits a target enzyme, receptor tyrosine kinase, which is characteristic of a particular cancer cell. It thus effectively targets only the cancer cells. It holds the record for the fastest approval time in US FDA history, obtained in 2001. In its heyday, it was hailed as a magic bullet to cure cancer. It is used for a number of therapies, including those for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and a number of other malignancies.
Is Glivec a recently released drug?
No. It was developed in the late 1990s and was approved by the US FDA in 2001.The first patent was obtained in 1993 for the imatinib molecule, which was never used in patients. After years of research, the beta-crystalline salt of imatinib mesylate was developed, which is new, and this has been granted patent protection in 40 countries now.
Is it called 'Glivec' or 'Gleevec'?
It is the same drug and is marketed as 'Glivec' in nearly 40 countries including China, Russia, Mexico, Taiwan, Germany, UK, and India, and as 'Gleevec' in the US.
What's all the fuss all about?
Novartis has appealed for a patent on the beta-crystalline salt of imatinib mesylate, a new version of Glivec. If granted, it will give a 20-year monopoly to Novartis for marketing the drug in India. An earlier ruling in 2006 saw the Indian patent office reject this plea, saying that it did not show any "enhanced efficacy" to be granted a new patent. Novartis then with the help of two writ petitions challenged section 3d of the Indian patent law against the non-granting of patent to Glivec. The current case is regarding the latter.

Any good tankmates for a young Oscar?
I had this post in another thread, here's the copypasta:
I made an impulse purchase. I know I told you all I wasn't planning on getting any ocsars any time soon, but I made a liar out of myself. So here's the game plan, I'm only hoping it won't give the new fellow HTH disease or stunt his growth:
The oscar I bought is about 1.5 inches big right now. It seems they will grow at about an inch month until they're about 9in or so. So, in about three months (making him hopefully about 4.5, or let's say 5inches to be safe), could he at least semi-thrive (vs 'just survive' since I know they are hardy fish) in a 15 High? At that point he'd (worst case scenario) be moved to a 40 gallon breeder. And then, before xmas, to a final 75 gallon.
These plans are based on my time estimates. My 40 has 3 goldies that I originally wanted to build a pond for on a home bought before late fall. BUT now I have convinced my mom they're easy to care for (for our southwest region compared to places you have to break ice and such), at least that I could when i visit her (she's scared I'm going to leave her completely, I think) if she's not able to do so. However, after pricng the liner, sand, and those concrete blocks, I figure I could do it for her with my next paycheck (so that is in a month, so let's add two weeks to actually do the work). Henceforth, I could move the oscar in as little as a month and a half, but I want the three month safety limit just in case!
So then it goes, will this oscar, of maybe 5 inches in June, be able to be OK in the 40 at 9 inches around October? I am sure I'll find a house (and setup the 75) WELL before that, just trying to err on the side of caution.
Of course, at this point, the best way to do that would have been to IGNORE THE CUTEY MAKING FACES AT ME and not buy him until I was all ready in my new house, or at least until the 40 was empty to start with.
Oh, the 15 will have the filter it came with (biowheel Marineland thing) (plus WCs every 2-3 days), and the 40 has a Marineland power filter ("up to" 50 gals) plus the older Aqua-Tech 30-60. A sponge filter from my 40 will be added to the 15 just to get that one started; I accept daily WCs until I am sure it is fully cycled.
tldr: I bought an Oscar, he's only 1.5 inches now in a 15 high tank. He was going to be moved within 3 months to a 40 gal, and within the year to a 75 gal. However, found a guy on my local CL with a 75 gal w/ stand for sale, and so while we haven't made the deal yet, i expec this means my oscar can live in the 75 within 5-6 months :D
So I was wondering, while he's young and not huge, are there any good tankmates he can have in the 15 gal? I do not want a second oscar or anything, because I wouldn't have another 75 for that fellow when they get older. Preferably, fish that can either stay in the 15 when he's gone, and/or in the 40 that I will be vacating regardless? Thanks for any advice on this part!
Oh, so far going through a mini-cycle as I used some older filter media on oscar's new tank (he has no name yet, alas), so I don't want to add anything until it settles a bit.
Oscars are a dime a dozen. I would not have gotten one until you knew you had a firm deal you would have a 75 gallon within a couple months. So often we think we will have a larger tank and our plans just don't work out. Two months goes by very quickly.
I am only very new to this sight but there seems to be a lot of contravercy on oscar tank mates. and from my own experiences i have found that a great tank mate for a red oscar or a tiger oscar is a young brim. i have a 6 and a half inch red oscar in his 15 gal which he love dearly and is being upgraded within the week. but his constant compainion for the past 3 months has been a young brim about 3 and a half inches and they have yet to show any signs of fighting. i believe that it is because they grow at around the same rate. but thats just my opinion
i have my 3ish inch oscar with black skirt tetras, idk if they'll be happy in a 15 gal but the oscars ignore them for the most part if they stay away from the food. i would also try a small pleco like a bristlenose or rubberlip. for the most part i would say it depends on the oscar, some are peaceful others attack your hand. so basically large tetras or smaller species of plecos. i hope this helps
This thread is pretty old., in fact REALLY old.American League Champions! TIGERS!

Latest Headlines is home to all the latest, up to the minute news headlines from The Wall Street Journal in a streaming continuous headline experience.
By Stephen Fidler
Listen to Russian president Vladimir Putin these days and you'll hear him depicting Russia as the last bulwark of conservative Christian values against the decadence of the rest of Europe.
Forgetting Christianity and the accompanying excess of political correctness is leading Europe to a deep moral crisis, he argued on Thursday at the annual Valdai Club conference at a lakeside resort north of Moscow. Russia, with its great history, literature and culture, will resist the tide.
He damned multiculturalism, which he called a legacy of colonialism that now even western European countries were beginning to see as a failure.
After being condemned internationally for promoting legislation that was aimed he said at protecting minors from homosexual propaganda, he suggested same-sex marriages were contributing to Europe's low birth rate. "Europeans are dying out," he said. "Same-sex marriages can't produce children." Silvio Berlusconi, the former Italian prime minister, wouldn't be suffering his legal troubles if he'd been homosexual, Mr. Putin joked.
Mr. Putin's three-hour televised performance—in which he shared the platform with politicians, current and former, from western Europe–is part of an effort that's been evident in his third term of office to identify himself with Russia's conservative majority.
It's frustrating for modernizers in Russia. One former senior official lamented at last year's Valdai Club meeting that while Russia needed to look outward to grow and diversify its energy-dominated economy, Mr. Putin was staking his political bets on the 80% of Russian people who looked inward and to the past.
One participant at this year's meeting of a Russian and foreign academics, former politicians and journalists, argued that as Russians increasingly travel the world, they wonder why Russia is falling behind. Even former Soviet republics like Lithuania had raced ahead.
The retort was that most Russians stay firmly at home and it was a mistake to extrapolate from the young citified Muscovites to suggest the rest of the country was influenced by or interested in developments outside.
Only 17% of Russians have passports, a figure that rises to perhaps a quarter in the cities. (Favored destinations are Turkey and then Egypt.)
This division between the major cities and the rest of the country was one repeated theme at the conference, at which which Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin also spoke.
In the largest country on earth, Moscow's share of the economy grows, its streets suffering nightmarish congestion. Meanwhile, many people in small cities, towns and villages across the country subsist with no knowledge or interest in the outside world and little wish, according to participants, to change their lot.
Yet the debate about how to alter this dominance was as much about how to hold back Moscow as it was about how to inject some dynamism in the rest of the country. One idea was to introduce visas for people from former Soviet central Asian republics, for whom Moscow has become a magnet.
The division between the biggest cities and the rest is only one of Russia's distinctions: The legacy of empire is complicated. The country is dominated by Russians, but there are hundreds of other ethnic groups, including Tatars and other Turkic peoples, nationalities from the Caucasus. In this way, you may be Rossisky—a citizen of Russia—but not Russky, an ethnic Russian.
Some 77% of Russians identify with Orthodox Christianity, according to a recent poll carried out for the Valdai Club, compared with 6% with Islam. Orthodox, Muslim and Jewish spiritual leaders all addressed the conference
Mr. Putin said Russian nationalists should recognize that "Russia was formed as a multi-ethnic, multinational country." Russians though could not expect identify, he said, only with an ethnic group or religion.

Licensing Insider: Where are your products distributed?Jenna:
Our trains can be purchased through our network of 1,200 Authorized Value Added Dealers or through major mass retail partners and internet shopping sites. Additionally, Lionel sells direct to consumers through www.LionelStore.com.Licensing Insider: How does licensing with the BSA help you grow your business?Jenna:
Licensing with the BSA has been a great fit because Lionel provides a wholesome family centered activity that spans many generations just like the programs provided by the BSA. Also, there is a wonderful nostalgic feeling about the BSA experience that translates well to our Lionel consumers and their nostalgia with train sets. Lionel sets are fun!

You are the conductor and you control your experience, powered by your imagination!Licensing Insider: How do you innovate in your business?Jenna:

We have also been partnering with other organizations to encourage children and families to take up the hobby of toy trains. For example, we had an event with the National Toy Train Museum in Strasburg, PA where children ages 8-12 spent the night at the museum (with a parent or guardian) and together built a 5' x 9' train layout that remained on display in the museum through 2010.Additionally, we are committed to going where the consumers are going. We have had seasonal pop-up stores in New York City and have operating displays in storefront windows, in Grand Central Terminal and other heavily trafficked areas. We want everyone to be aware of the fun factor with Lionel Trains!
Licensing Insider: What is the single most important ingredient in Lionel's culture that contributes to its overall success?Jenna: Unlike fads that come and go over time, there are few childhood toys that have proved to be more enduring than a Lionel train set. And true to tradition, Lionel trains are still being passed down from generation to generation.
Over 110 years later, Lionel continues to manufacture high quality products making it one of the most recognized brand names of all times. In fact, now more than ever, the Lionel dream lives on as the company continues to rekindle old traditions while inventing future technologies for children to enjoy for years to come.For more information on Lionel, please visit www.lionel.com

Vital perfection
Materials & Technique:
synthetic fur, cardboard box
Impression: 53/100
Edition: no.53 from an edition of 100, signed and numbered
Publisher: Hervé Mikaeloff
Place Published: Paris
Date Published: 1993
Sigmund Freud flippantly suggested that 'in shopping, all women are fetishists'.[1] This box, made in cardboard and lined with snow-white synthetic fur, looks like a luxury presentation device. Stamped 'VITAL PEFECTION' with gold upper-case lettering, the bright orange box is strangely without any contents.
'Vital Perfection
*A luxurious gel-formula eye treatment that protects against the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and tiny lines, while it delivers vital moisture and imparts suppleness.
*Moisturizes and nourishes the delicate eye area that easily shows fatigue, refreshing and revitalizing for a look of sheer radiance.
Formulated with specially bonded C and E *Vitamins in the ingredient EPC-K to help prevent oxidation and increase the skin's resistance to tiny lines and dark circles.
* Penetrates with delightful coolness to help reduce puffiness, improve texture, and leave skin supple and resilient.'[2]
Sylvie Fleury has staged three exhibitions titled Vital perfection.[3] The first two―at the Galerie Philomene Magers, Bonn, and at Galerie Rivolta, Lausanne―were in 1991. The third, two years later, was held at Galerie Emanuel Perrotin, Paris. Featuring shoe-boxes―some in piles, some with shoes carefully arranged atop, some open or ajar, their contents strewn around the place―the effect was as if some elegant Parisian had upped and left the wooden floor-boarded, Persian-carpeted, second-floor apartment-sized space.
The artist's choice of fetishistic objects such as branded, luxury shopping bags―and by extension, imprinted and lined shoe-boxes―is prompted by wider debates of fashion, consumption and gender representation.[4] In the 1990s Fleury used artificial fur and animal prints to cover surfaces in multimedia installations, as part of a strategy to explore gender and ambivalence.[5] By presenting 'found' or even 'bought' objects within an art context, Fleury sets up a dialogue between the world of fashion and the masculine aesthetic of 'modern masters' such as Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol and Joseph Beuys. Modernist aesthetic collides with the seductive, 'superficial' materials of contemporary fashion.
The philosopher and critic Walter Benjamin described 'the sex appeal of the inorganic,' referring to the desire brought on by looking at clothing. Clothes and other bodily accoutrements—from shoes to chairs and tables—are thus extensions of the body. These prostheses can become the subject of narcissistic obsession, or consumerist fetishes. Works of art are also alluring, the ultimate super-commodity, perhaps. Vital perfection summons up the body, via the absence of any actual figurative elements, blurring the boundary between living entities and inert objects.[6]
Fleury's titles quote perfumes, books, magazines, videotapes or lines from the 'literature' for cosmetics.
By framing these suggestive messages for an audience, I introduce them to be used however they like. I don't imply any personal relationship towards these messages, whatever their content may be. These messages most probably don't address the audience in the same way they performed in their original form. I am more interested in the consequence of these transfers, than commenting on my personal attitude or lifestyle. On the other hand, one does not always realize how much one is influenced by the subliminal messages of Harper's Bazaar.[7]
Fleury's comment relates to Freud's theory that repressed subconscious desire can be triggered by unrelated or inappropriate objects. A work such asVital perfection may evoke a powerful response, but cannot gratify. As consumers we lust, but are destined to remain in a state of perpetual arousal: desire without consummation. Fleury hints at the sham-like nature of instant-fix products. She provides us with an object which hints at luxury and fulfillment but is, ultimately, empty.
