It depends on the strength of the tincture, what kind of herb used in the tincture, and the desired effect. Usually a dropper-full (about 30 drops) 3 times a day does the trick for me. However, say you're using a sleep-inducing tincture (like valerian root), you'd want to take a dropper-full 30 minutes before bedtime, but not too much more because it could be harmful.
If you look on the right hand side bar, there is a link to all of my tags for "colds." :) What kind of mold are we talking about here, btw?
Y'all, I have been so busy lately and forget I had this blog! Ouch! I logged in and found many, many messages from you sweet and curious people. I will try to get on that tonight, and I am hoping to get back into blogging more regularly on here. Any questions, feel free to ask! xo.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)
Volumes could be written on the many uses of dandelion - indeed they have been! This common weed is often hated and poisoned by those preferring a "weed free" lawn, while those of us in love with dandelion and its many uses happily support it taking over our lawns. Every part of the dandelion can be used as food or medicine, making back door
herbalism simple and easy, as it should be.
When the first spring leaves pop up out of the ground they can be harvested heavily and eaten fresh with salads, made into a delicious pesto, or dried for tea. The leaves are highly nutritious, containing large amounts of vitamin A, calcium, potassium, and many more vitamins and minerals. The French call this plant pissenlit, which alludes to its strong diuretic properties. A tea of dandelion leaves is a great way to flush excess water from the system. When eaten with meals, the bitter taste of the leaves helps to promote digestion by stimulating bile to relieve indigestion and other digestive disturbances.
The root is a great ally for the liver. It can be tinctured or eaten fresh in a variety of recipes. Dandelion root can help clear up acne and other skin disruptions with the root cause being a stagnant liver. Most herbalists agree that long-term use of dandelion is needed for best results.
Chickweed (Stellaria media)
Parts used: Ariel parts of the plant
Benefits: This weedy plant can be found growing around the world, especially anywhere moist, cultivated soil can be found. Seriously, walk outside right now and you'll probably find some in your backyard along with other weed wonders like dandelion, plantain and clover. Chickweed is highly esteemed for it emollient and demulcent properties and is used to treat skin irritations (especially sunburn and insect bites), eye inflammation, and kidney disorders. It is a mild diuretic and is indicated in water retention. It is an excellent poultice herb and is often found in salve formulas because of its soothing effects on the skin. Additionally, it is a chock-full of nutrients like calcium, potassium and iron!
Suggested uses: The fresh tender greens are delicious in salads. They can be juiced or blended with pineapple juice and are often made into salves. A light infusion of chickweed is quite soothing. The plant doesn't dry or store well, so to preserve it for future use, it is best to tincture it fresh.
Thanks, doll! Please take a look at the tags for hair and skin on the side of my blog! :)
What are you using the feverfew for? Regardless, the desired effect is likely not going to happen by aborbing it through the feet… Your best bet is to buy dried organic feverfew and make it into a strong infusion!
Edit: Capsules are typically the least effective form of taking an herb. You can definitely make your own, but I believe infusions and tinctures to be the best way to get the full effects of any herb.
Pipsissewa (Chimaphila umbellata)
Parts used: Leaves
Benefits: Pipsissewa comes from a Cree word meaning "to break into small pieces"; the herb breaks kidney stones into small pieces so they can be passed. Also known as prince's pine, pipsissewa is generally helpful for the urinary system and acts as both a diuretic and a urinary antiseptic with a gentle, mild action. It also helps prevent and treats various degrees of prostatic irritation and the frequently accompanying cystis (bladder inflamation). It acts by cleaning, toning, and soothing the irritation, restoring the organs to normalcy. As a poultice, pipsissewa was used by native people to heal blisters, sores, and swellings and to relieve painful joints.
Suggested uses: Pipsissewa is generally made into a tea for urinary problems, though capsules and tinctures can also be used.
At-risk warning: Pipsissewa is a small woodland plant with limited range in North America. Habitat destruction and overharvesting by the herbal industry have taken a toll on this beautiful plant, and at this time, there is no large-scale cultivation of pipsissewa. Do not collect the plant from the wild, and purchase only supplies that are clearly labeled organically cultivated.
Vegetable and carrier oils have a plethora of fine uses which include acting as a carrier for therapeutic applications, as an excellent addition to your culinary creations, as a lathering agent for soap, and a binding medium for cosmetics. It is hard to imagine where we would be with our creations, if it were not for the goodness and substance that pure oil provides. There are so many varieties, however, that it is easy to get overwhelmed. Here is a list of the most commonly used carrier oils!
Almond oil - This is one of the most useful, practical, and comonly used oils. It is great for all skin types as an acting emollient and is best known for its ability to soften, soothe, and re-condition the skin. It is truly marvelous as a carrier oil and is equally superb for addition to body care products.
Apricot kernel oil - A wonderful oil similar to Sweet Almond, but more suitable for sensitive and prematurely aged skin.It can be used liberally in most body care recipes.
Argan oil - This rare and exquisite oil is meticulously pressed from the fruit kernels of the Moroccan Argan tree.

Argan oil absorbs quickly and is often used in skin, nail and hair treatments to deliver deep hydration, strengthen brittle hair and nails, and prevent/reduce stretch marks.
Avocado oil - This ultra rich organic oil is a delightful treasure containing high amounts of Vitamin A, B1, B2, D, and E. Also contains amino acids, sterols, pantothenic acid, lecithin, and other essential fatty acids. Highly prized to those with skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, and other skin ailments, it also makes a lovely salad oil for dressings and condiments. Highly recommended to those with sensitive skin, problem skin, and other irritations that require vitamin rich oil.
Baobab oil - This exquisite oil is cold pressed from the seeds of Baobab fruit trees growing in Africa. The normal lifespan of a Baobab tree is 500 years, with the oldest trees reaching the age of 5,000 years and a height of 20 meters. Known to the locals in its natural habitat as "The Tree Of Life", Baobab's bark, leaves and fruit pulp are also used. Its lovely white flowers emit a smell of rotting meat, which attracts pollinating moths, flies and ants; however, the seed oil itself possesses a light, nutty, almost floral scent. Rich in vitamins A, E and F and sterols, baobab oil absorbs quickly and is a wonderful oil to use in dry skin treatments and products designed to moisturize dry hair.
Borage seed oil -Because of its extremely high levels of gamma linolenic acid, Borage Seed Oil has many potential uses. It has been widely studied for its ability to calm and reduce inflammation, and has been used successfully to alleviate the pain, swelling, and joint stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Borage Seed Oil has also been used with positive results for many different skin disorders, such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, rosacea, and prematurely matured skin. Furthermore, studies have begun to show that it may be able to be beneficial for treating and preventing a malady of conditions.

Grapeseed oil - Grapeseed oil has a mild green color with a pleasant odor, silken texture, and great absorbtion rate. Generally employed as a base oil for many creams, lotions and as a general carrier oil. Grapeseed is especially useful for skin types that do not absorb oils too well, and it does not leave a greasy feeling. Wonderful for those with skin sensitivities because of its natural non-allergenic properties.
Hazelnut oil - Hazelnut oil is known for its astringent qualities and because of this, it is best used for those who have oily skin but do not want to abstain from using oils.

Jojoba oil - Jojoba oil comes from the beans of the shrub like plant, simmondsia chinensis. It is bright and golden in color and is regarded as the most favored in the carrier oil family because of its advanced molecular stability. Also makes a great scalp cleanser for the hair, and is equally wonderful for the skin because it has absorption properties that are similar to our skin's own sebum.
Kukui nut oil - The Kukui nut tree is the official tree of Hawaii and has been used by natives of this island for hundreds of years. They recognized the oil's high penetrability and soothing properties and currently they put it to use in helping sooth sunburns and chapped skin.

The change of time is what raised people's suspicions. Michael Schumacher's media time had been scheduled for 1700 on Thursday, but the Mercedes AMG Petronas press office sent a memo around asking the international press corps at Suzuka to turn up 15 minutes early. Clearly, Michael had a lot to say.
When the time came, every major television station had a camera present in the Mercedes AMG Petronas hospitality unit. Journalists were crammed in around them and there were even a few quizzical team members present. There wasn't enough room to swing a proverbial cat, not even a paddock cat.
As soon as Michael walked into the room clutching a speech in his right hand, with Mercedes motorsport boss Norbert Haug and team principal Ross Brawn at his side, the sense of expectation was palpable. You could hear a pin drop. "Fifteen minutes in English, five minutes in German" we were told.
What came next was an emotional, uncomplicated message of intent. "I have decided to retire at the end of the season," said Michael, before going on to say it was a relief to have made the decision to move on from racing in F1. Immediately, the 'Twittersphere' went into overdrive as people raced to spread the sensational news around the world. There was then a round of applause. The seven-time champ, winner of 91 races (and counting) will be gone from the F1 grid for good at the end of the year.
Brawn claimed that Michael was the best driver "this century", and he should know because he's been on the pitwall for all but three of Michael's wins. Norbert Haug, meanwhile, thanked Michael for his efforts in helping to mould Mercedes AMG Petronas into the front-running outfit it has become.
For the Japanese fans waiting outside the F1 paddock gates, news of Michael's impending retirement was almost too much. They screamed at the sight of him and held up photographs and memorabilia for him to sign. Clearly, the fans in Japan are as obsessed with F1 as they've ever been, although crowd numbers are not at the levels of Ayrton Senna's best years in the early '90s, when he was forced to fly by helicopter from the circuit hotel to the pitlane.
"The fans are passionate and knowledgeable," says Mark Webber. "They like to put their heroes on a pedestal and they think us drivers can do things that they can't, when, in reality, we just do different jobs."
Schumacher will be seeking a different job at the end of the year and everyone who worked with him and knew him in F1 will sorely miss him. Good luck, Michael.

Nikko National Park Day Trip from Tokyo
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Nikko National Park Day Trip from Tokyo. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
It was a wonderful trip and truly appreciated the guide's knowledge and enthusiasm. All sites visited were worth it, but I especially liked the Nikko site and wish we had more time at this site.
This was a very well organized day the scenery was beautiful and the shrine fantastic
Chris Hord
Great tour to explore Japan.
Fabulous sites, tour guide is very knowledgeable and helpful, everything is very well organised. Highly recommended.
We decided to book a day tour to Nikko as opposed to traveling there by train and spending one or two nights. The Viator tour was the right choice. It was apparent that we (3 of us traveling together) would have spent most of our time just arranging transportation, walking miles, and studying local maps and probably requiring 2 days to cover what the tour did in one day. Our leader Mr. Takadashi was extremely knowledgable about all aspects of Japanese culture, especially economics and current affairs. And, the Japanese lunch included in our tour was excellent, one of the best in our two-week stay. I still have my origami Samurai helmet (miniature) and instructions
The tour guide was wonderful and had a wonderful sense of humor. I loved that she set the ground curtesy rules at the beginning of tour. Her english was really good and she was very knowledgeable on the different sights that we went to, even places en route, definitely made the trip very entertaining for me.
The meal was ready right when we got there, which was awesome. It was delicious, filling but not overstuffing. I loved the tour, the sights were beautiful, overall this is a very wonderful tour that I would highly recommend to anyone.
Great day out, if a little long by coach. Fantastic lunch included and stunning views
It was a wonderful trip, the temples with the woods and snow was magical. Lunch was tasty and beautifully presented. Our guide was very helpful, love to go again during warmer climate.
Excellent tour, sites, and guides, very happy. The sites selected for the tour are great.
Well done, informative, well organized, personal, and all around a great cultural exploration. Kudos to the tour guide, assistants, driver, and organizer: only the Japanese can be so thoroughly prepared, on-time, and absolutely friendly.
I would recommend this tour for everyone. We had plenty of time at each of the stops for taking photos, also the boat ride is about 25minutes. We just missed the fall foilage by about three weeks. This trip also came with a meal. Our tour guide was excellent and very helpfull for giving directions after the tour was over. loved this trip.
The tour was great and the guide, Katie, was absolutely fantastic; knowledgeable and spoke perfect English, she'd go the extra mile so we could have a great trip. I definitely recommend it.
Great trip, everything went to plan, could not fault it.

I really enjoyed this trip the shrine was amazing and we saw the horse!, the lake and waterfall were beautiful especially with the Autumn colours starting. We had a very nice lunch and chat together. I did think it was strange that at the top of the mountain a red roofed building was pointed out as an excellant place to take photos and than we drove straight past. I think eveyone on board was expecting to stop and take photos! It was also disconcerting to many that we didn't end the tour where we started it though our guide made sure everyone had maps and knew the way back to their hotel in theory at least. Our guide Ako Miyazaki was lovely. She looked after us all very well and was especially kind to me by lending me her mobile at her own cost so I could let my son know when I would be getting back. She also took me on to the train I needed so I didn't get lost getting back to Kameido. A real star!! Thank you Ako
This was an excellent tour, but we were disappointed that they did not return us to the hotel but left us to find our way back from the bus station by subway!

Get your Colorado Avalanche tickets now!
Colorado Avalanche ticket and team info
For a long time, Denver has been one of the best cities for ice hockey in the NHL. Colorado Avalanche tickets have sold out every year since 1995, and they've won two Stanley Cups in that same stretch. The Pepsi Center has been the site of NHL playoff action every year, and the Avs never seem to let down their fans. Does it get any better than seeing the Avalanche blanket their opponents on game night? No way.
The Star
With Colorado Avalanche tickets, you get the chance to see star goaltender Jose Theodore hit the ice. The former Hart and Vezina winner will be the key to the Avalanche playoff hunt. He just needs to make more headlines for his heroics on the rink than out of the rink for hanging out with pop star Paris Hilton. Despite being put up for sale on eBay as a "slightly used washed-up" goalie by fans of his former team, the Montreal Canadiens, Theodore can be a stingy goalminder and the fans in Colorado expect a lot from him. He won't disappoint them this season.
The Coach
One of the best defense-minded coaches in the NHL prowls behind the Colorado bench. Former defenseman Joel Quenneville may be known as a defense-first kind of guy, but he knows enough to let the Avalanche forwards loose every now and then. He's got a big task ahead of him in terms of getting production out of Tyler Amason, but he's done more with less before. He's widely regarded as one of the smartest coaches in the league and it's a treat to watch him do his thing on game night.
The Team
Fans fully expect to make it to the playoffs yet again, and most likely, Colorado Avalanche ticket holders won't be disappointed. But there's not much time left for this team, which is severely lacking depth, most noticeably on the blue line. The team and the fans know this may be their last chance to make a run at the Stanley Cup for awhile, so it's all or nothing for the Avs. That makes for some exciting hockey action, so don't let the chance to grab your Colorado Avalanche tickets rumble by you!
Colorado Avalanche info
Colorado Avalanche tickets have been bringing hockey fans non-stop NHL action since the Avs moved into the Pepsi Center in 1995. Ten years later, the tradition continues, as the Avalanche take to the ice after the long NHL lockout. Colorado finished the 2004 season with 40 wins and dusted the Dallas Stars in the first round of the NHL Playoffs, before being eliminated in the second round. They won't be happy with a second-round exit this season. Like most NHL squads, the Avalanche are facing some roster changes, but new head coach Joel Quenneville has plenty of talent to keep Avalanche ticket holders happy.
It hasn't been that long since the Colorado Avalanche punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup. 2001 started with veterans Ray Bourque and Patrick Roy leading Colorado's way to a Presidents Trophy with a 52-16-10 record. After sweeping the Canucks in the first round, the Avalanche found themselves with their backs against the wall. They fell victim to a surging Los Angeles Kings team that rallied for two straight wins after falling behind 3-1. In the decisive 7th game, the Avalanche found their groove and blasted the Kings 5-1 to move on in the NHL Playoffs. That win sparked the Avs to another winning series. They gave St. Louis the Blues in five games to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals. The Avalanche fell behind 3-2 to the New Jersey Devils but rallied to tie the series with a 4-0 win. The 7th game saw Patrick Roy ice his 3rd Conn Smythe award, and the Avalanche topped the Devils 3-1 to win their second Stanley Cup.
In the long hiatus of the lockout, Avalanche ticket holders may have been upset at the loss of players like center Peter Forsberg and Chris Gratton. But the Avalanche can still boast of a roster as deep as any in the league. With talent like Joe Sakic, Rob Blake, and Alex Tanguay, the Avalanche will challenge for a division title, facing teams like the Edmonton Oilers, Vancouver Canucks, and Calgary Flames along the way.
Colorado Avalanche tickets are cascading into the hands of NHL fans eager to see the Avs fight their way back to the Stanley Cup Finals. The Pepsi Center is a great place to see live NHL action, as the Avs take on some of the league's elite teams on their home court. Don't be left out in the cold. Join the crowd and experience the excitement of Colorado Avalanche tickets.

NCsoft Developing Two MMOs with Unreal Engine 3Developer and publishing house NCsoft plans to utilize Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3 in two upcoming MMOs, the company announced today.
The company originally licensed the UE3 middleware back in 2005. NCsoft said that the engine will be used to develop two unannounced and "top-tier" MMO titles, but did not specify further what those titles might be.
The company is no stranger to Epic's middleware, having previously utilized the company's Unreal Engine 2 in the development of Lineage 2 (PC) in 2004. The heavily-licensed Unreal Engine 3 is currently at work in projects at 2K Games, THQ, Konami, Square Enix and numerous others.
NCsoft is currently working on a new Lineage (PC) title, and late last year announced the acquisition of the City of Heroes property from series creator Cryptic Studios.

A woman was transported to an area hospital after she was struck by a vehicle on Assembly Street Tuesday afternoon.
Just after noon, emergency crews were dispatched to the intersection of Assembly Street and Greene Street for a report of a pedestrian hit by a vehicle.
Police say the victim was in the crosswalk attempting to cross Assembly Street when she was hit by a vehicle turning left from westbound Greene Street.
According to investigators, the vehicle had a green light and did not appear to be speeding. The pedestrian had a "walk" signal.
Police expect to charge the driver, but haven't yet determined what those charges will be.
The pedestrian's injuries do not appear to be life threatening, according to police.
According to the City of Columbia, a recent traffic study conducted by USC showed that 3,000 people cross the intersection of Assembly and Greene streets each day. That number is expected to triple when the Darla Moore School of Business is completed later this year.

|I have 8 fish in a 350 gallon pond, I have a water fall and plenty of plants. I noticed the other day that one of my fish (shubunkin) was swimming very sluggishly. today he has been constantly "gasping for air". The other fish are fine and I fear that he may be near the end. What can I do to save him?
Follow-Up Postings:
|Gasping in the heat of the summer usually means a lack of oxygen.
What time of day is the gasping occuring? (late evening and early morning)
How hot is the water? (warm enough to take a bath)
Do a 25% water change and add an airstone for more oxygen.
Mine in 700 gallon stocktanks have been gasping also.
- Posted by charlottesdad 7 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 19, 11 at 7:17
|The water is still not "hot", tepid at best. If all 8 of my fish were acting this way I would be led to believe that oxygen was the issue. However I have 5 oxygenator plants 5 square feet of water hyacinth and a water lily. I also have a water fall and another circulating pump that creates turbulence at the surface. like I said the other fish are acting normal and energetic. Should I quarantine the fish? I am afraid that if I call the pet shops around here, some high school kid is going to try to sell me some chemical to put into the pond. I prefer not to employ chemicals anywhere if possible.
|We have about 60 fish in our pond that are from 4 to 10 inches. There are many times when some will come to the surface with their mouths opened (gasping for breath) Watching them we learned they are getting tiny bugs, or other potential food on the surface of the pond. They also do this when it rains when the drops hit the surface of the pond.
If you watch wild fish you will similar behavior.
- Posted by charlottesdad 7 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 19, 11 at 13:13
|Well, thanks mammasue and knuttle for your help. I have just come inside from sending the fish to the great pond in the sky -he died. Upon closer examination he had red spots just aft of his gills. If I could figure out how to upload a picture I would(help?). now the question is how to protect the other 7 fish.
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Sun, Jun 19, 11 at 14:01
|Was he the biggest fish? They always go first when lack of oxygen is the problem. They may also show signs during broad daylight when the other fish don't.
Go outside at dawn and you might see all of the fish gasping frantically. This is not at all similar to how they look randomly going after bugs but is a frantic desperate gasping.
Small shallow ponds with heavy fish loads can suffer this problem in summer even with waterfalls and plants....especially as the fish grow.
|I see that you say you have 5 oxygenator plants. This was a huge advertizing ploy by the aquatic plant industry. Yes they do take CO2 out of the water and produce O2 when the sun is shining. But what they don't tell you is that they reverse the process when the sun is not shining. They take O2 out of the water and produce CO2. This is true of all plants that grow in the water or below the surface. I do not know for a fact what I am going to say next but I believe it to be true. They actually lower the oxygen content of the body of water. Let me explain why. Water can only hold so much O2 and then it is released to the air. So most of the O2 that is produced is released and when the process is reversed there isn't that much O2 there for the plants to use and the O2 levels drop very lower. To see if this was true a few years ago I put an O2 meter in a very green pond with the Sun shining. The O2 level was 13 ppm. A cloud went in front of the sun and the O2 level went from 13 to 6 ppm as fast as the meter could register it. When the cloud pasted it went back up to 13 ppm as fast as the meter could react. So in a few seconds the O2 level went from 13 to 6 ppm. This pond was about 2500 gallons with a waterfall that had 3000 gph going over it plus 6 airstones with an air pump that was putting 40 liters of air per minute in the water. Healthy fish are able to handle these changes but get one that is sick and now these conditions will make it worse.
|Have you tested the ammonia and other levels in the pond, including the pH? Red spots apparently mean that the ammonia levels are getting too high, and you have a lot of fish for that size of pond.
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Mon, Jun 20, 11 at 11:53
|Yes, plants reverse the process at night which is why to see if you have a low oxygen problem you check the fish at dawn to see if they are gasping frantically.
- Posted by charlottesdad 7 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 20, 11 at 12:50
|I have my morning coffee with my fish everyday that it is not raining. They seem to be fine. In the afternoons I check the nitrite, nitrate, and PH levels. They always seem to be in the good range. I have been using a 6 in 1 test strip, that could be an issue?. The fish in question had been noticeably ill for the previous week. It seemed like he was only swimming with his pectoral fins, and very slowly at that. He also spent his entire days, and presumably nights, opening his mouth/ gasping for air not just at the surface but all over the water column. I will hit the pet shop this afternoon to see if I can get a dissolved oxygen test kit and perhaps a better nitrate/nitrite sample kit.
- Posted by sleeplessinftwayne z4-5 IND (My Page) on Mon, Jun 20, 11 at 15:43
|Test strips are notoriously inaccurate since they may sit on a shelf for who knows how long. A liquid test kit is a much better investment.
|You have gotten lots of good advice. You also need a test to check the ammonia levels in the pond. Sleepless is right, use the liquid test kits, not the strips.
|You have gotten a lot of good advise but not for the problem that you have. All the fish are fine except one means that the problem is not with the pond but with that one fish. Since it has hung on this long it can not be too sick. The first thing I would do is catch that fish and that a very good look at him and see if you can see anything. If I did not see anything I would give it a salt dip and see if that helps it.
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Tue, Jun 21, 11 at 11:47
|Mike, it died several posts up. :(
|That explains why my giant koi died at night not too long after we had a power outage. I would have thought during the day when it was hot would have been more problematic.
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Wed, Jun 22, 11 at 11:25
|Nope, plants give off oxygen during the day and take it in at night. So night is when the problem is and the biggest fish go first.
- Posted by Devilwitch none (My Page) on Fri, Jul 1, 11 at 22:00
|I am hoping that you will be posting your findings after taking your fish to the pet store. I am having the same problem, though I haven't been able to get close enough to see if there are any red dots. Just one Shabunkin is having problems, swimming very slow, if at all, gasping, usually at the surface. I know it is not an oxygen problem and all other fish are fine. He's been like this for several days and I would hate to lose him. He is only about two years old.
|Having found this forum I just wanted to add that I have a goldfish that has acted very strangely for the last few weeks, he appears to be gasping for breath but sometimes he is on the water lilly ledge or at the bottom of the pond, I have done 2 part water changes, had him looked at the pond centre, his gills etc are fine, although when he swims he is a bit unbalanced, he hasn't really eaten now for well over a week and is very lethargic, 3 times now I have thought he has died but then he moves, I have put medifin in the water, the pond centre said he could be constipated so gave him some garlic meal that they said try, all my other fish are fine and there is plenty of oxygen, the pond water has been tested a couple of times and the readings have been ok and I have a waterfall & fountain pump, I am absoultely stumped, it would be really good if we could find out a reason for this happening so that it helps other people in this situation.

|I've been reading Water Garden forums for 20+ years. Of the thousands of posts on sick fish I can count on one hand the number of times the cause of sick fish may have been found. These things are way more complex than people seem to think. There are things that are easy to check and should be done just to eliminate things that are easy to fix. There are things that a backyard keeper could do like scrapes and using a microscope but most don't want to. And then there's blood work and xrays done at the vet that no one wants to do.
For the most part I think most fish would be way better off if there owners did nothing because I read about tons of cures being thrown at fish for no reason other than the owner heard about something and became convinced that must be it. Fish under stress can often recover. But adding unneeded medication, salt, poorly executed water changes, handling, etc., can push a stressed fish over the edge.
People become convinced a fish is suffering from X or Y. That's different from knowing.

This conversation is closed.
When, How and Why have your most strongly held views changed?
I'm interested in transformative "In situ" social change.
There is research and opinion that adults face tremendous obstacles to changing their views. That education helps, but generally isn't enough. Of if views change, they do so because of traumatic life experiences or in times and places beyond their everyday lives. Such as in college or experiences in other geographical cultures.
Most particularly, it appears, change evolves in deep-reflection when hidden and/or hard to accept truths emerge. There is also evidence that this occurs in sustained relationships structured around relationally developed trust and intentional dialogues about values, including opposing views.
So, what you think? Have you changed? When, how, why? And, if applicable, who else was involved?
Extra points for "in situ" change -- change achieved in home communities or familiar cultures.
Many thanks in advance for your comments,
Closing Statement from Andrea Morisette Grazzini
Thank you all for so energetically engaging in this dialogue.
The breadth and depth of the comments and interaction between all has been quite rich. I can't help but feel this discussion amounts to a small example of "in situ" change in action.
Many illuminations have been shared and in the process, others emerged.
As each person has communicated parts of their story here, something like dynamic transformation can be detected. Perhaps not as much in individual ideals as in new understandings of the universal mix of simple and complex realizations of change and the possibilities for co-reflection.
Differences in our ages, experiences and perspectives make the discussion even more rich and dimensional. And yet shared themes are clearly evident -- most powerfully -- some of these were developed in the simple act of telling.
I would say what we have here is something of a small organically developed cultural enclave. Wherein each individual voice comes through clear, while the sum of all in relationship gives it a novel, community-style substance and form.
To carry this momentum forward I am going to build on our discussion, in the following ways:
First -- I will build another question related to this conversation, including Revett's thoughts on how, so we can delve deeper. Keep an eye for this--coming soon!
Second -- I will seek ways to capture Lindsay's observations of this "Choir of Inner Voices" in some lasting format. Stay tuned for developments!
Meanwhile, I am very grateful for the candor of your comments and interactions.
Hope you'll join "our" continuing story. I suspect there is much more we can unfold together....

Apr 26 2011: Two years ago ( at the age of 53) I was at a party and I just sat and watched quietly instead of interacting as I normally would have. Over the next two days my mind slowing became very quiet and I went thru a profound change. Colors became brighter, tastes became more intense, everything was more beautiful and I was more in love with my wife of twenty years than I had ever been. I had previously been extremely interested in (and usually angry about) world affairs and politics but now I lost all interest in it, (I just found it boring). Over the following weeks and months I read spiritual books like a sponge.Nothing that happened at work or in life could really get me upset. I became very interested in Buddhism and have been studying and practising it ever since. The extreme change in my conciousness seemed to last for about three months and then slowly abated but I have never fully returned to my old self. I stopped all forms of news media and haven't read a paper or watched or listened to the news in almost two years and I've never been happier or more peaceful. I listen to Ted lectures voraciously because they are stimulating in a positive way. When my friends or family start talking about politics or world affairs I don't mind and I listen but it doesn't really affect me. I don't usually participate until the subject changes to human nature, spirituality or psychology and then I love talking about it. I really have no idea why this change occurred but I feel blessed and I'm so thankful that I have been given this gift. I'd love to hear from anybody else with a similar experience.

BEREA, Ky. (AP) -- A 77-year-old Berea man suffered fatal injuries when he got out of his truck and it rolled over him.
Police say the accident occurred on a steep hill Wednesday on Scaffold Cane Road.
The Richmond Register reports the truck had a large horse trailer attached. Hubert Grey was pronounced dead at the scene by Madison County Coroner Jimmy Cornelison.
Cornelison says Grey was seen pulling into his driveway. But his wife looked out the window later that morning and saw there had been an accident.
Police determined that Grey had been struck by his pickup as he got out of the vehicle.

Harjit Gill, the UC Merced senior [1]with phenomenal time management skills, showed up 15 minutes late to receive her own Student Employee award. To be fair, it was a surprise. At first, she was a little confused by the show of congratulations around the room. However, she has been anything but confused by her role as an UC Merced Orientation [2]Assistant Coordinator. Her job is to make new students feel right at home on campus.
"Orientation is the first step to getting their degree, and their first step to success in life. How we welcome them sets the tone for their college experience. Students become involved in the school, clubs, student government, and there's a connection between the two. They go hand-in-hand," Gill explained.
Gill, who comes from a large, close-knit family, places a tremendous amount of value on the support network available for students at UC Merced. "It's important because without a community or support network from the beginning, students think "there is nothing here for me, no one cares about me here.' They start letting go and stop caring."
With an extraordinarily clear vision of what orientation should mean, look like and feel like to new students and families, Gill has been meticulous about having carefully constructed, laboriously detailed plans for executing that vision, and a leadership style far beyond her years of experience.
"I have to have it all written out in different colors on a whiteboard, and my Post-It notes are color-coded. Even my study notes are color-coded," said the biological sciences [3]major who can't wait to become a pediatrician. "My coworkers laugh because if something's a mess, I have to organize it. I have to have it in its place. I can't wait for Monday to put things away."
As the first student to own the position, Gill has had to create each activity and build the supporting systems from scratch. She has been cognizant of the fact that she is leaving behind a legacy that will continue to lead and support future coordinators for years to come.
But "detail-oriented" barely begins to describe this enthusiastic worker. Gill's philosophy is that planning ahead enables her to be flexible and stay calm when the unpredictable happens in the middle of an event.
"I have a plan or a vision, but I don't know exactly what's going to happen until it unfolds before me. There are hurdles before the event, and there are hurdles during the event. If you become hotheaded you end up exploding and nothing gets solved. You really can't solve the problem at hand."
Gill claims she was shy in high school, but those who have worked with her and witnessed her outgoing, warm, and friendly personality, especially during Orientation Week, would be hard-pressed to believe it.
Gill said breaking out of her shell had a lot to do with her supervisors in the Student Advising and Learning Center [4]. "They really foster new ideas. People actually wanted to hear my ideas. They were always encouraging, and telling me to speak up."

Reese Witherspoon, Harrison Ford and members of the boy band One Direction all have been spotted out and about in Atlanta in recent days.
Witherspoon just got to town to work on the film "Devil's Knot," also starring Colin Firth. She dined at Bistro Niko on Saturday and the Atlanta Fish Market on Sunday.
"She was with her husband and two children, with no makeup, hair up in a ponytail and sweats," said our well-placed source, a person with direct knowledge of the encounter. "She was very sweet, and when she came up to the hostess stand, she said 'Hey y'all.' She was placed at a very private table, and one that had the AC cranking. She was really appreciative of that."
Witherspoon is expecting Baby #3. Imagine being pregnant in this heat!
Also checking out the Atlanta Fish Market recently: the Brit-Irish band One Direction, in town last week to perform at the Gwinnett Arena (here's a review of their show), and Jewel, who's in Atlanta working on the Lifetime movie "Ring of Fire," about the life of June Carter Cash. Witherspoon portrayed JCC in the movie "Walk the Line," of course. Maybe she and Jewel can compare June notes while they're both in town.
Finally, Harrison Ford dined at Veni Vidi Vici last Thursday. He's here working on "42," the movie about Dodgers great Jackie Robinson. That movie filmed last week at the Biltmore in Midtown and is out in Hiram this week.

The room was very contemporary and built for beauty and function and use of space - cabinetry made specifically for the microwave and fridge and a dresser/desk combo. But most of all, the bed was the best I've ever slept in, and the pillows were amazing!
I wish there was more seating in the breakfast area, but, I think it was just that the breakfast was so popular!Microtel is a very 'green' hotel, with a keycard that also turns the lights on in the room - and when you take the card out to leave, you turn the lights out, too. That was amazing to me. Also, the rooms are somehow scented - not perfume or chemical, but just a fresh clean scent when you walk in, EVERY TIME, even if you slept in and chose not to have maid service that day.

Devotionals Daily: A Year with Jesus - Feb. 3
From Jesus Calling for Kids by Sarah Young
I Am Forever
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? —Romans 8:31
I am with you and for you. You never have to face anything alone—ever! When you are worried, you are thinking about the things of this world—the things you can see—and you are forgetting about Me. It is easy to be distracted by what you can see, but those things are only temporary. And even though you cannot see Me, I am forever.
Getting rid of your worries is simple: Keep your thoughts on Me. Whisper My Name to remind you that I'm with you. Sing a song of praise. Tell Me that you trust Me. I will get you safely through this day and every day.
This day is a precious gift. Don't waste it worrying about the future. Instead, unwrap the gift of today and enjoy its many blessings with Me by your side. As you open this today-gift fully, you'll find Me!

But I notice that only 3 attractions are listed, where SFOG has a fourth water ride (I think it's currently creatively named "Log Flume"). I wonder why that ride wasn't specifically mentioned as well. While it certainly uses less water than the other three attractions, I would think we're dealing with an "every drop counts" situation.
I vaguely remember "Donald's Boat" being shut off a while back. It was reported in some places to be a result of a drought Florida was going through (yet both water parks stayed wide open. Go figure). Of course, I don't think Donald's Boat really went through enough water to make a difference in the first place.
From what I understand, a flume ride that just recirculates its water often doesn't use as much as an attraction (such as a water slide), where people will come into contact with the water, requiring a constantly fresh supply. So that might be in play here.
Also, it might not be an issue here, but a drought provides a handy excuse to shut down a ride that needs maintenance work done for leaks. No sense paying for leaking water when rates are going up, after all.
Hope we all have a answer to all this mess. Most business's are not allowed to use water for plants, car washes and other such needs.
We can;t even wash our own cars! I am building a Grey water system to catch tub water to water the plants around my house. Grey water is not drinkable and I have a septic tank so it would no go back to river any way.
Well thought I would let you get first hand report from someone that live here.
God bless.

USA-born Rangers prospects have shined at the World Junior Championships, namely the 2010 squad that won the Gold Medal by defeating Candada.
That squad was captained by current Blueshirt Derek Stepan, who led the tournament with 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) in seven games, and was named to the tournament's all-star team.
Forward Chris Kreider was also part of the 2010 Gold Medal team, where he notched six goals and one assist in the seven games, including a tally in the Gold Medal game against Canada. His six goals were tied second with six other players, including former first overall pick Taylor Hall.
Kreider returned to the tournament the following year in 2011, where he recorded four goals and two assists in six games leading to a Bronze Medal.
Rangers prospects Danny Kristo and Ryan Bourque were also part of the 2010 Gold Medal team. Kristo scored five goals and three assists in the seven games, while Bourque picked up three assists. In 2009, Kristo scored one goal in six games; in 2011, Bourque picked up three assists in six games.
J.T. Miller took home Gold for Team USA at last year's WJC from Ufa, Russia. The forward notched two goals and seven assists in seven games.
Rangers captain Ryan Callahan scored one goal and one assist in seven games for Team USA at the 2005 games. Defenseman Ryan McDonagh scored three assists in six games in his only WJC appearance in 2009.

Pet Stories: In Your Own Words
Furr Baby
At first you may say no...
How are you? I am so happy you have kept on your journey strong and well!!! When my son and I decided to bring a fur baby into our lives, we started searching the shelters, locally. My heart was being touched by some pitbull mixes. I love this breed, but we were open to any breed. We were not having much luck because I wanted 7. I was visiting a friend at her salon,one of her clients volunteered at a pet store and suggested to go check out the adoptions there. My son and I proceeded to the store. My goodness, there was mass conjuckafunk of people, I saw large dogs. After a few minutes, my son was holding a puppy. I said No puppy!! Mom look at her, I said puppies are a lot of work, he said I know. I said no you don't. Before I knew it, I was signing adoption papers. Why I had the money for this, I have no idea, except it was meant to be. My son named her right on the spot. I had money left for food and a little bed. We got home, and my son decides to go out with friends. I was left with this puppy that turned into a gremlin, tazmanian devil!!!!!! I said what the hell did we adopt??? Because I have had many years being around dogs, I could some what keep her a little calm. After the first week, she was flipping crazy!!! I was crying to friends, this is not going to happen. I had a serious discussion with my son, Zack, something is wrong with this puppy. My son started crying, said Mom, we can do this. I'm telling you, it was another challenge in my life that has turned out to be an amazing blessing. She thought she was boss, I had to show her I am the pack leader!! Now, I love her with all my heart. I don't get all the kisses my son gets, but she is the best traveling partner. We go to the beach, she chases her ball, she swims, she runs and plays with other dogs.we hike, we walk all different places. She has my heart like my first dog I was in love with, my pup August I named her when I was 10. Deja reminds me of August a bit. This is my pup story. Ms Shirley, you are awesome, keep up the great work! Many Blessings,

Music News provided by Pulse
It was 20 years ago on Monday (November 18th) that Nirvana taped its appearance on MTV Unplugged, with the results being perhaps that program's greatest segment and a live album considered by many to be among the top concert recordings in the history of rock. According to Yahoo! Music, the show came off without a hitch despite coming close to being a disaster or never even happening at all, due to frontman Kurt Cobain's arguments with MTV and his bandmates, as well as his worsening health and addiction problems.
- Cobain and drummer Dave Grohl were not getting along during the rehearsals, with Cobain continually asking Grohl to play his parts softer.
- Grohl recalled in 2006, "In rehearsal, we would do a song, and Kurt would turn to me and say, 'Hey, do you think you could play it a little bit lighter?' . . . So we'd do another take, and he'd turn around and go, 'Could you bring it down just a little bit more?' And we'd do another take, and he'd say, 'You know what, just still, could you bring it down?' And I was like, 'Should I even f***ing be here?'"
- MTV apparently freaked out when the network learned that half the set was going to be obscure cover songs and that the band would not perform "Smells Like Teen Spirit," which it had not played live for nearly two years at that point.
- The MTV brass was not taken with the band's selection of guests either. Producer Alex Coletti recalled, "They wanted to hear the 'right names' -- Eddie Vedder or Tori Amos…But when I said 'the Meat Puppets,' it was kind of like, 'Oh, great. They're not doing any hits, and they're inviting guests who don't have any hits to come play. Perfect.'"
- Cobain told MTV the day before the show that he was canceling the taping, but then relented. An MTV exec said, "He did it just to get us worked up. He enjoyed that power."
- A dress rehearsal several hours before the taping went so badly, however, that MTV execs wondered if they should have let Cobain cancel after all.
- According to Cobain biographer Charles Cross, Cobain was also suffering from gastrointestinal problems and heroin withdrawal, and had been "vomiting bile and blood."
- Despite all the problems beforehand, the taping went off without a hitch -- with Coletti later recalling, "With mostUnpluggeds, we tend to run through the set, have a chat, and then do a few songs over again. But this was truly one take -- every song, straight through, in one hour . . . this was really tight -- something like 56 minutes from start to finish."
- Bassist Krist Novoselic later said, "Doing MTV Unplugged was a lot of fun…It was a Nirvana triumph, but it's also Nirvana Lite. But it was cool that we managed to pull it off."

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Two tickets sold in California and Georgia won the massive Mega Millions' jackpot last night. It was $636-million going in -- but game officials say it could end up being more, once all the sales figures are in.
Wisconsin had a $20,000 winner, plus seven other winners of $5,000 each. All matched four regular numbers plus the Mega Ball, and one of those tickets had the prize multiplier of four. We won't know until later today which ticket that was. Two of those eight winning tickets were sold in Milwaukee. The others were from Whitewater, West Bend, Delafield, Oregon, Oakdale, and Brodhead.
Last night's numbers were 8, 14, 17, 20, and 39. The Mega Ball was seven.
The jackpot was the second-highest in U-S lottery history. Officials said yesterday there was only a 30-percent chance that nobody would have matched all the numbers. Friday night's jackpot will be the game's new minimum of $15-million. It was raised from 10-million in October.
In Powerball, the jackpot for tonight is $50-million.
