Exploring this subject is meaningful for multiple reasons and here are just a few of them.
Raising awareness: In honouring and working towards a truly multicultural society, there needs to be greater awareness surrounding Indigenous peoples and issues. It is important to not let Indigenous concerns fall to the wayside and a part of this is to promote greater awareness on the root causes of current issues.
Addressing discrimination: Indigenous peoples continue to be oppressed by the continued impacts of colonialism as well as systemic and individual racism and discrimination. Openly making stereotypical comments about Indigenous peoples seem to be somehow more acceptable and the living conditions of many Indigenous reservations in Canada are considerably sub-standard compared to the rest of Canada. Such oppression should not be tolerated.
Eradicating blame: By looking at the cases of Australia and Canada, it is evident that the current issues experienced by Indigenous peoples are not country-specific and cannot be attributed to theories such as that of genetics or having different cultural values. The blame for these issues have often been placed squarely on the Indigenous peoples themselves, which is an act of oppression in and of itself. But by exploring this subject, informed steps can be taken to eradicate misinformed and wrongful blame.
Pointing to the need for further research: As there are only a limited number of research studies exploring intergenerational trauma specifically amongst Indigenous peoples, we are left to rely mostly on research on other population groups such as Holocaust survivors. There is hence a very pressing need to fill in this considerable research gap. As other explanations for the prominence of current issues being experienced by Indigenous peoples are not sufficient, further research on the connection between the current issues and intergenerational trauma and attachment is definitely worth pursuing.


Studios at Chiaravalle Montessori School (CMS) are afterschool classes for children who want to pursue interests that they don't get to focus on at all or as much as they'd like during the day. Below I've listed courses I've taught there.
Course Description: What can a calendar give you a new way to think about numbers? What do the discoveries of a twelfth century mathematician have to do with the number of petals in a flower, or the shape of a conch shell? Find the answer to these and other questions in Math Club, a studio for lower el.
In Messing with Microworlds, upper elementary students can learn to use tutorials, help screens and programming environment of the latest version of Microworlds to develop their programming skills.

Welcome to SolCrete.com, your decorative concrete website. Here you will find a lot of information concrete resurfacing. Immediately below are some links that will take you to other areas in our website, but you can also stick around and read the article that talks about what concrete resurfacing is all about, how it's done, and what's the final look you can expect for your concrete floors. Thank you for allowing us to be of service!
It was a dark and stormy night. Ok, not exactly, more like 3 p.m. in the afternoon on a Sunday just before the Cowboys were going to play. Things looked good, the 'Boys' were favorites. My wife had gotten some snacks together, and we were stretched out on the favorite couch – the one that has over time comfortably "molded" itself to my posterior. We were laid out, munching away while watching the usual pregame jibber-jabber with our two dogs (dachshunds) staring intently at us to see if anything would fall on the floor; let's just say we never have to worry about "Cleanup, aisle 4!" with these guys around.
We were running low on the soda, so my wife jumped up and headed to the kitchen with the two little ones in tow, knowing they have a better chance of scoring in there. I shifted around a little, settling down deeper into the couch. The pack had only been gone for a couple of minutes and I wanted to be completely relaxed before they got back when this high pitched scream rolled in through the door. It raised the hairs on the back of my neck, "Did she fall? Did she cut herself?" I catapulted out of the sofa and sprinted towards the kitchen fearing the worst, but I didn't get that far. There in the middle of the dining room stood my wife, scowling at me, yelling at the top of her voice, and jabbing her finger downwards towards the floor. That's where I saw it, the final straw.
Not us! We decided it was time to get rid of that carpet and just do some concrete resurfacing (in this case a microfinish overlay) and if they need to go, no more stains or smells! My wife, who had been pushing hard on that same theme for the last couple of years loved the idea. The frown turned upside down and we finally able to settle down to watch the game. The two little ones? Their punishment was being banished to the yard for the duration of the game and no treats afterwards. They got off light.
"Rehab" – Concrete resurfacing to the rescue!
Three weeks later, we were ready to get down to business. We decided to go with concrete resurfacing in all the carpeted areas which included the dining room, entryway, and the living room, about 600 square feet total. Carpet tear out was the first step. Here you can see Armando, one of the installers, first cutting the carpet into wide, more manageable strips that we then rolled up. In my case, the carpet underpad (that foam like surface under the carpet) wasn't glued to the floor so it made removal much simpler. Can you see what shape the floor is in? Yep, all those white spots are paint that was just splattered everywhere. Nobody cares what happens to the floor when they're building the house. They figure you're going to cover it up anyway so we find paint, varnish, pipe dope, glue, permanent marker, just about anything that can be spilled, splashed, dropped, sprayed, or dripped on the floor. This is why we often have to do concrete resurfacing on remodels instead of a direct acid stain. This project was no exception.
The builders figure you're going to cover it up anyway so we find paint, varnish, pipe dope, glue, permanent marker, just about anything that can be spilled, splashed, dropped, sprayed, or dripped on the floor. This is why we often have to do microfinish overlays on remodels instead of a direct acid stain. This project was no exception. What's the difference?
Below is a picture from a project we did a few years back that shows what happens when you do a direct acid stain over a floor that previously had tile and carpet. This homeowner didn't want to go with concrete resurfacing. They were OK with the tile "ghost images" and tack strip holes being visible; and visible they are! So just what creates these "ghost images" and holes? The tile pattern is a result of minerals being brought up through the concrete over time. Many people don't realize that concrete foundations "breathe", that is, they're porous and moisture constantly moves through them from the surrounding ground. It's not a lot of water, usually just a vapor, but as this vapor comes into the home and hits the ceramic tile it can't pass through because ceramic is highly impermeable. So it does what water always likes to do: find the path of least resistance. In this case, the grout joints around each tile. Over the years this moisture seeps into the home through these grout lines, not damaging anything but slowly pulling minerals and depositing them right where the grout lines are. And Voila! When you remove the tile, the "ghost image" remains and it can be tenacious. Many times, even after grinding the floor we can still see this pattern, especially in homes where the tile had been on the floor for a long time.
The tack strips are another story. These are actually wood strips with nails sticking out of both sides. The nails facing down are thicker and get hammered into the concrete to hold them in place. The nails facing up are smaller but very sharp and actually jab into the carpet from below and hold it in place. The concrete nails don't come out without a fight, usually pulling up a small chunk of concrete and leaving divots behind in the floor that still show up after staining. Concrete resurfacing (microfinish overlay) eliminates both the ghost images and tack strips holes as it covers them both up under a new layer of concrete.
Back at my house, after rolling up and disposing of the carpet we went to work on the tile and the tack strips that ran around the perimeter of the room. We like to move quickly with these, so we use an electric demolition hammer to remove them. It really speeds things up compared to a hammer and chisel, especially when you have to blow out the thinset that held the tile in place. Before putting down the concrete resurfacing material we'll patch deep tack strip holes (1/2″ or deeper) to make sure the overlay will create a uniform surface.
The most important step in applying concrete resurfacing is surface preparation. We always grind interior surfaces to roughen it up. This gives the resurfacer something to "bite" into. Sometimes we may also use an acidic etching solution to open up the pores in floor depending on the circumstances. Whatever is done, we always prep the surface before applying the concrete resurfacer. When we grind, we use a shrouded grinder that is hooked up to a vacuum system. This almost completely eliminates any dust created by the grinding process and removes paint, drywall mud, and anything else we usually find on the floor.
Time to apply the concrete resurfacing material (microfinish overlay)! So just what is this overlay material anyway? It basically a combination of cement, sand, and a special polymer (fancy word for glue) that allow it to stick to the floor in a thin coating. If you just mixed up a batch of cement, sand, and water and put it down in a thin coat it would peel right up in a few days. The polymer is the key. It's incredibly sticky and its adhesive strength increases with time. There are different manufacturers for concrete resurfacing materials. We normally use an Elitecrete product called Thinfinish for our first coat and then follow up with a second coat of another Elitecrete product called Microfinish. The Thinfinish leaves the floor with a somewhat sandy texture, excellent for abrasion resistance but it would be a bear to mop or sweep it. The Microfinish, having a smoother consistency, flows between the larger sand grains of the Thinfinish coat, filling them in and creating a smooth floor. Combining both products for use on interior floors provide strength, beauty and low maintenance. We pour the bag mix into a few quarts of water, add some pigment to it (in this case a beige), stir it up and then squeegee it on the floor. We spray a light coat of water on the bare concrete before applying the overlay, which helps keep the mix wet. The concrete is so dry that if we didn't do this, the mix would get drier and drier as you moved it over the surface, eventually reaching the consistency of chewing gum. We also try to lay it down as smoothly as possible that way we don't have to sand it as much later.
After applying the 1st coat we need to wait for it to dry before the next step. This really depends on the environment. If it's cold outside, it can take six or seven hours for it to completely dry. Normally though, it's two to four hours. Once it's completely dry we can apply the second coat. If the floor was in really bad shape (a lot of divots and other issues) we may apply a third coat of concrete resurfacer to cover these problems up.
However, most floors only require a couple of coats of the concrete resurfacing material, so the second is usually the final one. Whether 2nd or 3rd, this last coat is always microfinish and because we want it to fill in the sand grains of the thinfinish coat we switch to a steel trowel to "force" it into the pores. This is where we get "up close and personal" with the floor and this is where it gets a lot of its final "personality". The troweling process creates variations throughout the floor. Some places get troweled a little more than others and this "burns" the surface, making it denser and causing it to take stain differently. As you can see in the picture, we use larger trowels for big areas and smaller ones for detail work. It's a lot of work while moving on your hands and knees and even during the winter you will definitely break a sweat. No matter how careful we are, we will never get a perfectly smooth surface, even after passing over it several times with the trowel. So, after this final coat has dried for a few hours we pass over the entire surface of the floor with a floor scraper. This shaves off any high points and further smoothes out the floor. It also burnishes some of the higher spots on the floor giving it a more marbleized look. This step doesn't take a lot of time but it's an important part of the process. I like to walk across the floor barefoot as that way I can feel if I missed anything.
My wife insisted that I score the floor. By scoring we mean cutting a pattern through the concrete resurfacer and into the actual concrete floor. In this case it was 36″ wide diamonds cut using a special circular saw with a diamond blade. She decided we would do the raised dining room area and the sunken living room. The saw used in scoring can generate a tremendous amount of dust, so we connect it to a vacuum cleaner that pulls most of the dust away from the cut. To prepare for scoring we first need to "pop out" the pattern on the floor. We measure out the pattern then use a chalk line to make the lines we follow to score the floor. That way if something doesn't look right or we change our mind we can easily erase the chalk line without damaging the floor. She liked what she saw so we proceeded with the scoring. The diamond blade on the saw is normally 1/4″ wide. We cut a shallow groove in the concrete floor doing what we like to call a "decorative cut" which isn't too deep or it would be a cleaning problem. We always cut completely through the concrete resurfacing material and into the concrete floor; that way we have a consistent looking score line and as we expose some of the sand, cement, and stone that make up the floor in the cut it gives it a more interesting look.
After passing over the entire pattern with the circular saw we have to do touchups with a smaller, handheld grinder. No concrete surface is perfectly flat over its entire span, there are always dips, normally small ones, but as we are doing a shallow cut, the blade from the circular saw may not cut into it. The handheld grinder finishes it off.
After scoring we have one more step to do before the staining process. We need to protect all the walls from the overspray. We do this with a pre-taped plastic drop cloth. As you can see in previous pictures we put down blue painters tape along the entire length of the trim running around the room. We apply the taped edge of the drop cloth to this and then pull it up to cover about 20″ of the height of the wall.
At long last we get down to staining. Here, we had two choices: acid or dye staining. Lately we've been doing much more dye staining than acid staining on concrete resurfacing finishes (microfinish overlays) for a couple of reasons. First, it's easier to control. Acid staining is reactive while dye staining is pigment based. Reactive staining is much harder to control. The stain will create a lot of variegation but we don't have much control on how dark it gets. With dye staining, we consistently get the same result because we just mix the pigments to the proportions we need. Second, speed. Acid staining, takes time to do its thing and it requires additional neutralization step that stops the color from continuing to darken. Dye staining just requires for it to dry and we are ready to start sealing. Lastly, dye staining gives us a much wider palette of available colors than acid staining which has about eight primary colors.
For this project I went with the dye stain. We mixed up a batch and then sprayed it down starting with the borders which we wanted to make darker than the rest of the floor. It normally takes two coats to get the right color combination. It went very fast and by the time we finished spraying the last of the floor, the first part was already dry and ready for the second coat. We wrapped up the project pretty quickly from this point. Two coats of sealer followed by two coats of wax and it was done! With a sigh of relief I took a step back and liked what I saw even though I knew the opinion that really mattered was my wife's. She walked in the door and just loved it! Calls were made, friends and family brought over, and much preening was done. I was just glad it was over. The next day, after patting myself on the back, I introduced the new floor to the dogs. They loved it too! So much so that about five minutes later I found my first "accident". But you know what? That's what's great about concrete resurfacing for floors, you see things right away. You easily wipe them up with a towel, and no stains or smells!
Here is a video from our youtube channel that shows the entire concrete resurfacing process from start to finish.
Thank you for your time to read this concrete resurfacing primer. We hope it helps in explaining how we apply concrete resurfacing on interior projects. I'm not going to say it's the only way to do this type of work; it's just how we usually do it. If after reading this you would like us to resurface and acid or dye stain your floors just contact us through the link below.

SOUND OFF: MAKING AMENDS II
On March 15 William Beebe was sentenced to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to one count of aggravated sexual battery against Liz Seccuro, a woman he had attacked 20 years earlier when both were students at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Beebe, a recovering alcoholic, had written to Seccuro to apologize for the decades-old assault. She contacted the authorities, saying that she had forgiven Beebe but still desired justice.
I asked readers whether Beebe was right to contact Seccuro and whether Seccuro was right to press charges.
"He was right to contact her and try to make amends," writes Kaye Jones of Groves, Texas, "but he was wrong if he thought that this would make it all go away in a second. Choices have consequences."
Pat H. of Ontario sees the apology itself as a second assault.
"His need to atone actually came at the expense of the victim, who was, in effect, retraumatized via his e-mail," Pat H. writes. "It was a dramatic and selfish gesture on his part, and every bit as antagonistic as the original violation."
Finally Liz Seccuro herself checked in.
"Obviously, for me, as the victim, there is only one solution," she writes, "and that was to step forward as a citizen and, based on the laws of this nation, report the crime, even though it had been reported to no avail to university brass."

I absolutely think that she was right to press charges! "Sorry" is not a get out of jail free card. And I think it is appalling that crimes such as these are swept under the rug by colleges.

The whole ordeal is a tragedy. There would be more than a little interest in seeing someone seek clarification on all of the claims being made Ms. Seccuro. Many of the reports paint different pictures, not all being small details. Well, maybe we can wait for the book...

Q: Automating program opening and workspace switching I have a Raspberry PI 3 running Fedora 21 with MATE. It is to be used to simply autoload firefox to a specific website and display some useful statistics from that page.
The tricky part is I have two different sections of that page that I need to see. I was able to get firefox to auto-start two different profiles and with the help of Greasemonkey it goes to the correct section of the pages needed. I now nee to be able to open both windows in fullscreen on two different workspaces at startup. Then I need the workspaces to autoswap like every 30 seconds. This will be on a TV overhead with the only access being SSh which is why it needs to be automated. This is beyond my knowledge now.
I have tried to use Compiz Rotate Cubes and Desktop Cubes, but I cant automate this. At this point I am at a loss.
EDIT: I have managed through a custom script to get Firefox in two profiles on two workspaces!!!! Still trying to get the desktop to switch.

A: I have actually solved this by writing two scripts
The first script switches workspaces 30 seconds after boot and opens the second Mozilla browser with a second profile.
Basically
#! /bin/bash
sleep 30 &&
wmctrl -s 1
firefox -P Profile2 -no-remote
sleep 15
wmctrl -s 0

The second script is an infinite while do:
while:;
do
sleep 30
wmctrl -s 1
sleep 30
wmctrl -s 0
done

I'm sure there are better ways to accomplish this, but this seems to work for us.

Bitcoin – Would it be a good idea for you to utilize them?
Bitcoin was propelled as a private activity in 2009. Not at all like conventional monetary forms, for example, the euro, sterling and dollar, is it not controlled by a focal fiscal specialist. Rather, it is supported by a distributed system of its clients' PCs. This is like how Skype, a video talk benefit, works.
The essential unit of significant worth is the bitcoin. However each bitcoin can be subdivided into satisfies. One stash is equivalent to one hundred millionth of a bitcoin i.e., a bitcoin isolated to eight decimal spots.
Bitcoin and satisfies can be exchanged starting with one web client then onto the next keeping in mind the end goal to pay for products or administrations at basically zero cost. This enables you to influence worldwide exchanges without messing to around with trade rates and grave bank charges. Bitcoin can be buying and sold for conventional money at exceptional trades.
To utilize bitcoin, you require a wallet, an extraordinary bit of programming in which you store, send and get bitcoin. There are three sorts of wallets, programming wallets, portable wallets and web wallets.
Programming wallets are introduced on your PC and they give you full control over your wallet. Versatile wallets are introduced in your cell phone or tablet and enable you to utilize bitcoin for day by day exchanges in shops and general stores by examining a fast reaction or code. Web wallets are situated on the internet, i.e. they are a type of distributed storage.
Installments utilizing bitcoin are super simple. They can be produced using wallets on your PC or cell phone by entering the collector's address, the sum and afterward squeezing send. Cell phones can likewise acquire a collector's address by comment acheter des bitcoins code or by bringing two telephones that contain close field-correspondence neck innovation, a type of radio correspondence, near each other.
A bitcoin wallet resembles a wallet brimming with money. To diminish the danger of misfortune, you should keep little measures of bitcoin in your PC or cell phone and keep the main part of your bitcoin in a more secure condition, for example, a disconnected wallet. Given your wallet has been scrambled; a disconnected move down will enable you to recuperate your wallet, should your PC or cell phone be stolen.
Scrambling your wallet enables you to set a secret key that must be contribution before assets can be pulled back. Be that as it may, recuperating a bitcoin secret key is inconceivable in the event that it is lost. That is the reason you should be certain beyond a shadow of a doubt you can recall your secret word. On the off chance that the estimation of your bitcoin is critical, you could store the secret key in a bank vault or wherever you store essential papers.

Outer space and the solar system is one of the most interesting topics discussed in school because of the countless colorful heavenly bodies occupying the universe and the idea that there is actually something else outside of our world.
As introduction to the subject, bring your students out of the classroom (at both daytime and nighttime if it's possible) so they can see what makes up the sky. Explain that the solar system is made up of our sun and all of the heavenly bodies that travel around it. Once they have familiarized themselves to the concept of space and the solar system, you can start moving on.
The ten planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Xena) differ in characteristics. You can use a table to show these differences and characteristics. After showing how each is special from the other, you can let them pick a favorite planet, draw it the way they want it and explain why they chose it from the rest. For more than 300 years there has been scientific discussions of the events that led to the formation of the solar system. And since it could be quite time-consuming to talk about the theories concerning the origin of life in the solar system, you may use film or other visual presentations as tools to better explain it.
A telescope is another effective device used to magnify or enlarge the image of a distant object. It is a very important tool for astronomers. It enables them to see much farther into space than is possible with the human eye. What you can do is bring a telescope you can share with your students so everyone can have a glimpse on what's out there in space through a very informal activity.
What is space exploration? The age of space exploration began in the sixth decade of the 20th century. Since that time, robot probes and human beings have ventured beyond the limits of the Earth's atmosphere. Today, space explorations include the investigation of celestial objects ranging in size from cosmic dust to the giant planets of the solar system. Because of technology, humans are continuously discovering more about life and forces in space. The possibilities are endless.
Outer space and the solar system may be a very interesting topic but its long history of theoretical and practical developments can fuel a lot of questions. The key to space exploration lay in the production of the rocket engine, which made possible the lofting of objects beyond the Earth's atmosphere. With this subject, remember you are teaching your students that the field of space exploration and the solar system relies heavily on communication and technology.
Teach the solar system to your students.

The UK capital will host the biggest pageant on the River Thames since the Queen's Diamond Jubilee to mark the start of the Clipper 2013-14 Round the World Yacht Race.
This Sunday 1 September, the fleet of twelve 70-ft ocean racing yachts and a supporting flotilla of support vessels, spectator boats and well-wishers, will participate in a spectacular parade of sails from Tower Bridge before setting off on their 40,000 mile ocean odyssey.
The armada will be joined by a paddleship steamer, pilot boats, police boats, RIBs, spectator boats and other pleasure craft as Britain waves off the 270 crew sailing from London to Rio de Janeiro on Leg 1.
Hosting the race start and finish is estimated to deliver a £50million economic boost to the capital and is the first time London has hosted the Clipper Race; it is 40 years since the Thames last featured a round the world sailing event.
Legendary British sailor, Clipper Race Founder and Chairman, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston said: 'The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is a real jewel in the crown of international sailing, the only race in the world that takes every-day people and turns them into ocean racers.
The boats are currently moored in the historic St Katharine Docks, central London's only marina, with an official Race Village hosting entertainment and visitors who can see the yachts up close and get an insight into crew life at sea.
The fleet will not be returning until July 2014 after 670 crew race 40,000 miles and visit 16 ports on six continents, in the world's longest ocean race.
Designed to provide everyone, regardless of sailing history, the chance to experience the exhilaration of circumnavigation, the Clipper Race has turned over 3,500 novices into ocean racers since its inception in 1995.

Q: php drops file type error for file size Fellas,
I've run in an interesting bug in my code and I can't figure out the reason.
I have a form with 3 fields. Name, email, file upload fields. After the fields are filled it sends the stuff back to the same file.
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST" action="index.php">
    <input type="text" name="name" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['name'])&&!empty($_POST['name'])){ echo $_POST['name'];}?>" maxlength="100" />
    <input type="text" name="email" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['email'])&&!empty($_POST['email'])){ echo $_POST['email'];}?>" maxlength="50" />
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2097152" /> <input type="file" name="file_upload" size="15" value="<?php if(isset($_FILES["file_upload"]["name"])&&!empty($_FILES["file_upload"]["name"])){ echo $_FILES["file_upload"]["name"];}?>"/>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="" id="image-button" />
</form>

So the form sent back to the index.php. Now the error handling: (the values of the error fields are in Hungarian, but I translate the necessary fields)
$upload_errors = array(
// http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php
  UPLOAD_ERR_OK         => "Nincsenek hibák.",
  UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE   => "Nagyobb a megengedett fileméretnél.",
  UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE  => "Nagyobb a form megengedett fileméreténél.",
  UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL    => "Részleges feltöltés.",
  UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE    => "File nem található.",
  UPLOAD_ERR_NO_TMP_DIR => "Átmeneti könyvtár nem található.",
  UPLOAD_ERR_CANT_WRITE => "Nem írható cél mappa.",
  UPLOAD_ERR_EXTENSION  => "Hibás kiterjesztés."
);

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
  $errors = array();

  $required_fields = array('name' => 'A név megadása kötelező.', 'email' => 'E-mail cím megadása kötelező.' );
  foreach($required_fields as $key => $value) {
    if (!isset($_POST[$key]) || empty($_POST[$key])) {
        $errors[] = $value;
    }
  }

if(!is_valid_email($_POST['email'])){
    $errors[] = 'Set a correct mail address.';
    }

if($_FILES["file_upload"]["size"]>2097152){
    $errors[] = 'Maximum 2MB file size.';
    }

if(!isset($_FILES["file_upload"]["name"])||empty($_FILES["file_upload"]["name"])){
    $errors[] = 'You must upload a picture!';
    }

if (($_FILES["file_upload"]["type"] !== "image/png")&& ($_FILES["file_upload"]["type"] !== "image/jpg") && ($_FILES["file_upload"]["type"] !== "image/jpeg") && ($_FILES["file_upload"]["type"] !== "image/pjpeg")){
    $errors[] = 'Only PNG or JPG/JPEG files allowed.';
    }

When I try to upload a file with a file size 2MB+ the error returns:

*

*Only PNG or JPG/JPEG files allowed. -

This error belongs to the file type! The form validation returns a different error!
Question:
Why is this happen? Why don't triggers the Maximum 2MB file size. error???

A: If a file is bigger than upload_max_filesize[docs] (which is usually 2MB), PHP will ignore the file, set ['size'] to 0 and ['error'] to UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE.
Check ['error'] instead of ['size'].
See http://docs.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php
BTW you should not rely on ["type"], it's set by the client, and the client can set it to anything he wants.

Police Need Help Finding Scumbag Poacher
Two deer were discovered this past week with arrows sticking in them. According to Fox News the animals were found in Shady Cove, Oregon. The State Police were called to investigate a live deer that was shot by a scumbag poacher. The arrow still stuck in the animal. They later found a second deer with an arrow stuck in it and were alerted to the possibility of a third.
"The injuries to the deer did not appear to be life threatening," police said. "Additional information was received that there might actually be a third deer with an arrow stuck in it."
A quick look at the pictures show the arrows had field points on them. Showing that the perpetrator probably does not have any hunting experience. Even poachers know to use broad heads when shooting a deer. My guess it is a punk kid that got a hold of a bow and wanted to shoot something.
Hopefully they catch the poacher who did this and the judge throws the book at them for this senseless violence.
This type of activity is not related to hunting and will not be tolerated in our community. This is why a reward is being offered by the Oregon Hunters Association for any information leading to an arrest in this or any other wildlife case.
As of right now police do not have any leads but are asking people to help. If you know anything about these shootings please contact the Oregon State Police. They can be reached on anonymous tip line at 1-800-452-7888 or by calling Oregon State Police dispatch at 541-776-6111. Help them find this scumbag poacher.

Well it's time for a crazy nostalgia for last year's Super Sentai and I decided to do a crazy post yet again. If there's one thing that I can't get over is that I've actually said that Lucky is Lone Starr in red spandex. You can go ahead and think I'm actually watching too much Spaceballs though I haven't seen the short-lived Spaceballs cartoon. But I'm not going to stop with Lucky as I want to put Garu as Barf -- even if Barf is an anthropomorphic dog and Garu is an anthropomorphic wolf.
I couldn't help but notice that series events make me want to think about the friendship that these two managed to develop. At first, I thought about how they met and how they became partners. What I wanted to notice (at first) was how Lucky is what I'd call a really idiotic fellow who's the main character -- that would remind me of Lone Starr from the parody movie called Spaceballs. Lone Starr is a hapless, idiotic protagonist who just goes around without a clue but ends up becoming the big hero of the show. Talk about Kyuranger as a series where you throw in Star Wars, Spaceballs, Super Sentai and maybe even Star Trek into the mix and you get one crazy series.
So how are they the Lone Starr and Barf of the series? Episodes 11-12 start to give us a bit of a background for Lucky. Lucky was actually misplaced as a child and Lone Starr was abandoned as a child -- both have mysterious background origins that aren't immediately known. They just wander around space and they become the big heroes of their respective continuities. Those two episodes also gave Garu some development as he has Lucky back on his feet. Talk about Barf trying to keep Lone Starr's spirits high especially at very bad times!
I just thought that the old man Gramps (who appeared in episodes 36-37) should have been named as Yogurt. Do you remember the scene when Yogurt from Spaceballs finally reveals that Lone Starr is actually a prince? Lucky has no idea he's actually a prince but I guess all the trauma hid his memories or he was too young to remember his heritage. Regardless, I thought that maybe the old man should have taught him to use the Schwartz to fight Jark Matter. Those two episodes always made me want to continue calling Lucky as Lone Starr in Spandex -- it doesn't help that Garu is actually his closest friend making the former Barf in Spandex.
Plus, need we mention that the two are always into misadventures? It's really that funny just thinking how the two ended up exploring the Universe together as best buds -- just like Lone Starr and Barf!
