The Spring Tupelo Furniture Market was barely over when an upstart entrepreneur said he was starting a furniture market of his own in Tunica.
Scott Morton, a former sales rep for a furniture company with ties in Northeast Mississippi, apparently has been talking about it for quite some time.
He said he went to the High Point market last fall and spoke to people there, then followed up with a visit to the Las Vegas Market in late January.
Then he showed up in Tupelo, ostensibly to recruit exhibitors for what he plans to be a 175,000-square-foot show. Only companies with closeouts and special deals need apply, he said.
At $2.50 a square foot, he said the maximum an exhibitor could have is 5,000 square feet. The Tunica Furniture Market is planned for Jan. 8-9 next year, spread out over eight locations.
Morton said he's had to turn down bigger companies who wanted more space.
His thinking is the more exhibitors there are, the better.
Personally, if I have someone willing to pay for space, I sell it.
I asked him how he'll staff the show. Who will help exhibitors move their merchandise or answer their questions? Who will help attendees looking for assistance?
Morton said a manager will oversee each location, while he and his business partner will be "floating managers" to help out where needed.
It's a skeleton crew, he admits, but he apparently will rely on hotel staff to help.
Still, he has to pay for the food, beverages, entertainment and venues – along with the hotel staff.
So where will the money come from to finance this project?
Morton and his partner have been doing business for more than 20 years, and they've both been in the furniture industry for even longer.
He's also relying on exhibitors paying a nonrefundable 25 percent deposit on their space. Final payments are due by December.
So assuming everything comes together and Morton can get his show off the ground successfully, there will be an early January furniture market.
It'll be ahead of the tax refund selling season, a plea I've heard many times from some exhibitors and retailers in Tupelo.
However, looming in the background is the Tupelo Furniture Market, which said it's looking into moving its spring market. It tried a January market a couple times a few years ago, and frankly, they didn't do too well.
But times – and markets – have changed. What happened five years ago matters little today.
So I fully expect Tupelo to move its market. Maybe back to January. And maybe even making the Tunica market a non-factor.

Thread: 2 150Gs....Thoughts?
2 150Gs....Thoughts?
As some may know I have truly struggled in being able to source any new aquariums since my move. I have ordered many and received none. So I am down to only my 56G Column and 4G Evolve in the new house
The new house also presents the challenge of being much smaller than my old residence with concerns of floor space being at the forefront of my mind I am contemplating shorter tanks. Which means I have looked at both 90G and 120G Aqueons from a LFS about 2 hours away. They have always been very willing to order these tanks but after months of waiting they just never seem to show up. Thus I have started to look at Petsmart since I have one locally and they do offer a 150G Xhigh which I must say I have always admired. It is a Top Fin tank...which had always put me off but I have done research and comes out it is a rebranded Marine-land and actually appears to be a quality build. The tank is 48Lx24Wx30H....I do expect some awesome aquarium sales around Xmas so no better time to plan my fish room tanks than now especially since I have no choice outside of using the big box retailer for my future endeavors. I also know several staff at the store and am assured they always have the 150s in stock.
With this I am planning the following stock...and would like some feedback.
Tank #1
1xWild Oscar...most likely a Peruvian or Colombian
1xGreen Terror...F1/F2 Male
1xRotkeil Severum...F1/F2 Male
6xRed Hook SDs
3xPimelodus blochii
Tank #2
1xSynspilum...Male-no preference on wild or domestic
1xJack Dempsey...Male-prefer a more blue type fish
4xFiremouths...2pair of Wilds or F1/F2
1xBlack Convict...Male-no preference on wild or domestic
Each tank would have an FX5 and 2 AC110s for filtration...pool filter stand, rock and wood for both. No live plants for obvious reasons.3x75 gallons|2x55 gallons|2x50 gallons|3x40 gallons|1x29 gallon|1x10 gallon
These fish are outside my experience, so I can't offer any feedback - but just wanted to say how much I am looking forward to new tank threads from you. Always enjoy your builds!
I have never liked the XH tanks unless for a smaller community, IMO with Sa/Ca cichlids they use there space unless bullied but another with a set up boundary. I know it really boils down to swimming foot print vs turning around foot print. IF I was you id look for a 150 standard or 180 which is a 6 foot tank with descent turning and swimming room. also I did the 2x fire mouth pairs in my last 125, mean with fry but I am sure you know that, but IMO with the XH tanks I feel you are over stocked in tank size but your filtration is spot on, fx5 and Ac110s my workhorses
I would much prefer 6ft tanks...unfortunately I cannot source any in my area. Petsmart does not carry a 6fter and the one LFS I have access to does not keep tanks in stock and their ordering of them does not seem to manifest. The largest used tank you will find around here is a 55G and that is rare. I have contemplated ordering acrylic tanks but honestly I can get a full 150G XH setup from Petsmart for less than just the tank online. Not to mention the risks of shipping 2 6ft tanks.3x75 gallons|2x55 gallons|2x50 gallons|3x40 gallons|1x29 gallon|1x10 gallon
I have a 120g that is 48x24x24 and I love the footprint. The problem I have with 6ft tanks is they always seem too narrow to scape nicely. If I could custom build a 6ft tank it would be 24" wide. I have had 4 Texas cichlids (all four are 8ish inches long give or take) living mostly harmoniously in that tank for over 2 years now. The only problem is a few small squabbles after a spawn or if one of the other fish gets too close to the fry. If you stock all the fish at the same time and get them when they are very young it could work, my Texas cichlids were still fry when I bought them, the biggest being less than 1/2 and inch, but you know with cichlids you must have a back up plan.
My opinions are: for tank 1 is, ditch the SD's and think twice about the blochii. They might be ok or they might irritate that oscar into a killing spree. Tank 2 seems like it would be a bit overstocked for the shorter footprint. My personal preference for this tank is to keep the Synspilum, the Jack Dempsey, the Sal, and the Gibby.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me
Thanks mommy I was hoping you would reply with your experience with a 4x2 foot print. I have learned with my 56G column that fish dont always necessarily require as much length in a tank if it has a much larger width and height than standard tanks....it seems to make up for it a little in a lot of ways. I also agree these boxy tanks are super easy to scape and by placing tall wood in the center of the tank I feel much territory could be created by breaking up the lines of sight. I may opt to scale back on the stock a bit...those are just species I am most interested in seeing in there. I may opt for the SDs for now and see how it goes...I could of course setup an additional tank and move them out if the need arose. I am also concerned about the blochii...always wanted them but I doubt I will try them unless the fixture I choose has moonlights. The O would surely spook at night with their activity, I could also opt for only 1 blochii as they do fine solo. I could also drop the Meekis for a single species of a slightly larger Thoricthys...I am hopeful that the Vieja keeps the peace as it will be so much larger than everyone else.
Thanks much for the feedback, more suggestions are welcomed3x75 gallons|2x55 gallons|2x50 gallons|3x40 gallons|1x29 gallon|1x10 gallon
I hope you manage to get your desired tanks! Please keep us updated with lots of pictures !!My therapist says I need a bigger tank . . . . .
I would re-arrange the stockings a little if they where my tanks.
I would move the green terror to the second tank (due to aggression) and I would move the Synspilum (to friendly for tank 2 in my opinion) and 4xFiremouths to the first tank (I am however on the cusp regarding the firemouths). This would however leave the first tank slightly overstocked. However for someone with your experience that should be managable.
That said. I do think your stocking should work as well but that the fish will be more at home and more harmonic in the changed setups.
Then on a personal note I would never keep any of those species alone. I would reduce the number of species and do pairs but that is my preference.Do as I say. Not as I do.
Even if you cannot get 6ft tanks, can you get 5fts? My 120g cichlid tank is 59x19x25 tall and I feel I can do a lot with the extra foot of space (even if I wish it had a 2ft width instead of just 19in). My friend has a tank with the same footprint as your planned tanks but a few inches shorter and he has had nothing short of problems. He now has a lone Severum and Uaru in it as despite being raised from young together everything else was eventually kicked out of the tank due to aggression -- including a 9in Oscar. While my tank is actually smaller in volume than his I have much more success in keeping multiple cichlids together peacefully. Given, mine has not been running as long as his.
For the stocking, I am NO expert, this being my first cichlid tank, but I gave away my Green Terror as I was concerned there was just too much agro with my oscar -- plus when I asked on here some months ago I was told that this tank would be fully stocked with just my oscar and 1 of my red severums. I could not imagine keeping a GT and O together in my tank, let alone if my tanks was a whole foot shorter. My also agree with William about fewer species and more individuals. I like the idea of the O, a few Rotkeils and the SDs and pims. Although the O + Rotkeils is probably quite similar to your last tank.
I like the stocking list for the CA tank, LOVE the idea of the Synspilum (although I MORE love the idea of a couple of them!). I have been toying with the idea of selling my oscar and adding one of these to my tank. I would probably ditch the Convict and one of the pairs of FMs, any particular reason you wanna do 2? Also, they are a CA cichlid and I cannot recommend them enough -- T-bars. My T-bars are just so stunning and put any convict to shame IMO. Love the idea of the Synspilum, Salvini, JD (my EBJD is one of my favourite fish) and either a pair of FMs or a pair of T-bars, and the Gibbiceps. I am unsure if this is just MY experience but when I had a young FM he competed heavily with my EBJD and I eventually had to remove him -- while everyone else in the tank was happy these 2 fought like cats and dogs, I think because they lived in a similar area of the tank.
So just my 2c, like I said I haven't been in the world of American cichlid-keeping for long. Super jealous btw, and cannot wait to follow these journals. :)

Machete-wielding home invasion suspect in custody after SWAT standoff
SPOKANE, Wash. - One man is in custody after an attempted home invasion by a machete-wielding man became a nearly seven hour standoff with the Spokane Police SWAT Team at a Hillyard skate shop Wednesday morning.
Spokane Police responded to calls just after 3 a.m. on Wednesday morning about a man with a machete trying to break into a home on the 3000 block of East Diamond.
According to Spokane Police Lieutenant Dean Sprague, the man forced his way into an apartment while the victim of the invasion was on the phone with dispatchers.
"He actually forced his way in, and there was some kind of a scuffle. We got here on scene and a man brandishing a machete advanced on officers (and) attempted to charge us two or three times. We backed off," Sprague said.Machete standoff vo
The victim of the home invasion suffered minor injuries.
Officers said the man then retreated to Hillyard Skateboards, where he barricaded himself inside. Police think the man may be the owner of that business.
SWAT broke down the door of the skate shop just after 7 a.m. and then fired tear gas into the business after 8 a.m. in an attempt to force the man to surrender. A short time later more tear gas was fired inside.
Around 10 a.m. police entered the building and this time the man had a large wooden staff and attempted to stab SWAT team members.
"We gave this subject repeated chances today and even at the end when he knew he was going to be taken into custody, there were no front doors, no back doors, he still tried to stab one of the officers even though he knew there was no possibility of escape. So I think it just goes to a person's mindset that he was intent on hurting somebody," Spokane Police Commander Brad Arleth said.
Eventually the man, identified by police later as Glen Fisher was pulled out of the building by police, arrested on charges of 1st degree burglary and 3rd degree assault, and was put into the back of an ambulance. He was taken to a local hospital to be evaluated by mental health professionals.

- Bizzarie Universali William Corbett
William Corbett William Corbett (c. 1675-1748) was one of England's first and most individual composers of concertos. By profession he was a violinist, and between 1705 and 1711 led the orchestra at the new Queen's Theatre in the Ilaymarket, London. He was also in demand as a soloist, often receiving top billing at London benefit concerts, and appearing as far afield as Nottingham (1707 and 1709) and York (17(19). Corbett appears to have been something of a ,s/iounian, and his concert programmes and compositions often made a feature of the unusual. In 1699 and 1704-7, for instance, his concerts often included such unfamiliar instruments as the mandolin, archlute and viola d'amore, and in 1724 he advertised a concert on a part un/ar new instrument never heard in England'. Between 1711 arid c. 1740 Corhett lived intermittently in Italy, returning occasionally to publish music and perform in concerts, such as those he organised with a Signora Lody in London until 1715. Although nominally attached to the royal orchestra in London, from 1716 he seems to have settled more permanently in Rome, where he built up an extensive collection of music and violins (some said to have belonged to Corelli and Torelli) and other musical instruments. So impressive was this collection and such was his material well-being, that it was speculated whether Corhett augmented his income acting as as/s' for the English government, keeping an eye on the Pretender to the English throne (James Stewart, son of the deposed Catholic James II) who had settled in Rome. Whatever the truth of such suspicions, Corbett certainly made money from the sale of some of his music and instruments in London in 1724 and shortly after his return to England in 1741.

European Community Baroque Orchestra The European Community Baroque Orchestra was set up in 1985 as the major initiative of Eurpean Music Year to bring together Europe's most talented young Baroque musicians. The ECHO provides orchestral performing experience which is a vital link between conservatoire study and a fully professional career, and offers a unique opportunity for young players to work under the direction of the world's top Baroque specialists. The activities of the ECBO now follow an annual pattern, beginning with audition courses at which the members of the Orchestra are selected. The courses are run under the direction of a highly integrated team of specialists, which includes Roy Goodman, Jaap ter Linden, Lucy van Dael, Jan Schlapp, Enrico Gatti, Jos van Immerseel, Ku Ebbinge and Marc Vallon. For the successful musicians the next stage is a training course during which intensive rehearsals take place for the forthcoming concert tours and recordings. After this thorough preparation the Orchestra is then ready to embark on its touring schedule which has taken it to all the European Community countries, with performances in many of the major Festivals in Europe. The ECBO has developed a special rclationschip with directors Roy Goodman and Ton Koopman and has worked with most of the world's leading Baroque directors; Frans Bruggen, Trevor Pinnock, Christopher Hogwood, Jordi Savall, JeanClaude Malgoire, William Christie, Reinhard Goebel, Joshua Rificin and Andrew Parrott. Highlights have included Festival van Vlaanderen, Brugge; Algarve International Festival; Bachtage, Berlin; Haendel in Oxford Festival; Gulbenkian Early Music Festival, Lisbon; Festival Musica Antiqua Sevilla, Spain; Holland Early Music Festival, Utrecht. In addition the Orchestra undertakes each year an "ambassadorial" commitment with performances at EG Summits and EC Capitals of Culture, and tours of the USSR and East Germany, for example. Future tours are planned to the USA, Japan and Brazil.

An interesting observation of our Scouts these days, first let me say that they are all great kids, but they have a tendency to stray. Now I can't recall exactly how I acted as a 13-14 year old, but I know for a fact that it was probably not like these guys today.
You see, our guys do what the ASMs and I call "Poodling". It is hard to describe, it is a random unfocused, babbling followed usually by some sort of dance or incoherent wandering. At times it is funny to observe, but for the most part it annoys even the most patient adult.
"Poodling" was taken to another level this year as some of the Scouts got older. Yes another level. The older Scouts dropped the random dance/wander from the action, now they do what we refer to as "Verbal Poodling". Completely random nonsense that they seem to understand. They can do this for hours on end, with no purpose or result. At first I thought, my goodness, we have an entire Troop with ADHD. But then I observed it in other Troops as well. And a visit to a local Cub Scout Pack taught me that "Poodling" starts at a young age, and in a few weeks 8 more "Poodlers" will be introduced to our Troops ranks.
While "Poodling" is harmless and funny at times, it is something that must be kept in check. A simple 15 minute Patrol meeting can last an hour due to "Poodling". A sharp look out for "Poodling" activity is now a part of the Scoutmasters job description. Be ever vigilant in quailing the "Verbal Poodle" or you will loose track of an event or meeting.
"Poodling" may be harmless, but it can be destructive at times. I suppose that it does not fall into any categories on the don't list in the guide to safe Scouting, but it can drive an ASM up the wall.
Be on the look out for "Poodling" activity in your unit. I am sure it is there, it may come with a different name, but its "Poodling" just the same.
Happy Scouting!

Attacks on the Press 2005: Nepal
King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev seized direct power on February 1, dealing an unprecedented blow to press freedom. He cut all telephone lines, blocked Internet service, and sent the army to major media outlets to censor the news line by line. Hundreds of political leaders, civil activists, and journalists were detained. The king dismissed his multiparty government and declared a state of emergency, which lasted three months.

Position papers: Norton City Council, Ward 2 representative
Steven Fannin vs. Danny Grether vs. Don Nicolard (incumbent)
Voters living in Norton's Ward 2 will vote for one candidate for Ward 2 representative on Norton City Council in the Nov. 5 General Election. The race is nonpartisan. The information provided below was submitted by the candidates, with their responses to our questions printed as submitted.
Steven Fannin
Why are you running for Council?
"I am profoundly concerned about the current state of political affairs in Norton. Our council is deeply divided on the most important issues affecting our city. Rather than addressing those concerns in Ward 2, our current representative engages in petty personal attacks, diverts public attention away from important issues and uses the power of the state to attack his political enemies. Rather than ignoring the important problems facing our city and Ward 2, in particular, we should tackle our problems head on. I am running because we have a failure of leadership on council. I am ready to tackle our issues head on and work to build a bridge with the other members of council toward a better and more prosperous future."
What would be your top three priorities if you took office? Why?
- "To comprehensively reform sewer funding. We need to engage the County Department of Environmental Services and negotiate a competitively priced, mutually beneficial service contract for all the citizens of Norton. Whether you have sewers already or may receive them in the future we need to leverage support at the county level to keep prices down, while keeping maintenance and installation costs in check. Simply purchasing the sewer pipes and exorbitant costs, or pushing the costs off on other residents is not the way to make Norton better for everyone.
- "To renegotiate the JEDD Agreement with the City of Barberton. While regional development is important we cannot allow or city to participate in a poorly designed, fundamentally flawed agreement that leaves money on the table.
- "To restore civility to Norton Politics. It is time that our local government shows respect for the people. By revamping rules of decorum and proceeding in a careful, respectful manner we can restore a proper, civil tone to Norton politics."
Danny Grether
Why are you running for Council?
"As Norton resident, it is important to me to see the rural feel of our communities unique character protected throughout our future growth and development. There are plenty of model towns within 100 miles that we all go visit for shopping and dining; I vision Norton as having the potential to be one of those towns. We have miles of highway accessible lands ready to be developed if marketed correctly. With my experience in real estate I will help to do just that. More importantly, I will ask for community input on how you see Norton and what businesses you would like to see attracted. With properly planned infrastructure and a welcoming community, we can attract employers who will provide jobs and a stronger tax base. With a child in the school system, I am running to build a better relationship between the Schools and the City Governments. With the potential for future growth and new school buildings, we will see vacant lands that will lend themselves well to small business growth, it is important we have representatives that know the value of that land. Finally, I am running for the Ward 2 seat to bring a higher level of professionalism, trust, and customer satisfaction to the position. The residents of Ward 2 deserve a higher standard of integrity, ethics and morally sound judgment from their elected representative; I am running to bring just that."
What would be your top three priorities if you took office? Why?
"Planned Growth and Economic Development: Attracting businesses to the City of Norton is a top priority. Together we can decide what businesses best suite our neighborhoods and community vision. Having walked door to door in Ward 2, I have come to recognize that the majority of voters want more local businesses, restaurants and shopping. With the city income tax rollback, it is important to give the taxpayer the opportunity to work inside Norton. As your current Planning Commission representative and former Board of Zoning and appeals representative, I have helped lay the groundwork to insure business development is planned to protect the community, environment and property.
"Sensible and Affordable Infrastructure: Any infrastructure development in Norton must be backed with grant dollars and low interest loans, reducing the property owner's burden. Having a solid infrastructure will be necessary to attract job creators to Norton.
"Fiscal Responsibility: As a taxpaying resident of Norton, I like to think of myself, and my fellow taxpayers as stakeholders. In the corporate world, stakeholders have an expectation of a return on their investments. We the people should have that same expectation when we invest in our community through taxes. The City Government must be held accountable to use our money in the smartest ways possible providing us with the highest possible return for the dollars invested. With over two decades of experience in lean manufacturing management, I have learned to do more with less while still providing the highest possible quality and customer satisfaction levels."
Don Nicolard (incumbent)
Why are you running for Council?
"I believe that civic responsibility lies on the backs of all citizens. In my case it goes a little farther. In 1960 I had just finished my freshman year at Central High School in Akron. I just passed by the skin of my teeth. I had fallen in with a really bad group of kids heading down the wrong path. My parents realized that if I remained in that neighborhood and school district, I was doomed.
"At much financial hardship they decided we must move. Norton was their choice. We moved in July 1960. I met a group of kids from Norton and my life was transformed. Because of this City and the Norton City Schools I feel my life was saved. I owe this City my life. It is a small sacrifice, to give of my timer and energy, to pay the city back."
What would be your top three priorities if you were re-elected? Why?
"My top priority is sewer and water. I think I have made that evident over the past four years. Our City is an envrironmental nightmare. You can run, but you can't hide from the truth.
"Growth is my number two priority. Without growth are City cannot and will not survive. With proper City services growth will happen. We have acres upon acres of land, crying out to be developed . With good zoning and a business friendly government, Only our lack of vision can hold us back.
"Harmony and togetherness. Our City has been torn apart. Bickering and arguing has to stop. We have to work together, all of us for a common goal, of growth and prosperity. This is our only choice for the future."

text: Story: I'm sure I'm not the only one asking this, but does this anime even have a plot? From what I can gather the entire story revolves around a gender confused orphan who cries more than Mira Munakata and falls in love with every male who happens to wander within twenty feet of him. If that isn't bad enough, none of these 'romances' even go anywhere. There is so little emotion throughout the series that I have a hard time believing the characters even have emotions, let alone the fact that this anime is a shounen-ai. I suffered the...

Using over-the-counter pain relievers safely
A range of pain relief medicines can be bought without prescription. These are known as over-the-counter pain relievers, including paracetamol, some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and aspirin, and some pain medicines that contain codeine.
Speak to your doctor or pharmacist about the best options for you before buying any over-the-counter medicines. This is particularly important if you suffer from any other medical conditions, such as stomach, kidney, liver or heart problems.
Over-the-counter pain relievers
Using over-the-counter medicines
Over-the-counter pain relievers are medicines. Some medicines are prescribed by a doctor. Others are available 'over the counter' without a prescription.
Even if you buy these over-the-counter medicines (OTCs) from a supermarket, or they come in a different formulation, such as an ointment, it is important to remember they are still medicines.
Using pain medicines safely
Over-the-counter pain relievers are generally safe, but there can be serious consequences if they:
- are not taken as directed, particularly if you take too much
- interact with another medicine you take
- are used by people with certain health conditions.
When selecting an over-the-counter pain reliever, it is important to be aware of the benefits and risks so you can select the one that will be the most effective and safe.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about all the medicines you are currently taking so they can advise you about which pain relievers you can take safely. Make sure you include any pain relievers, both prescription and non-prescription, on your medicines list.
Read the packaging and follow instructions
It's important that you always read the packaging of your medicine and follow the instructions for taking it. Taking more than the recommended dose doesn't mean the medicine will be more effective — in fact, it could do your body some serious damage. The same brand of pain reliever might come in different strengths, so you need to read the directions to ensure you're taking the correct dose.
You can find the directions for taking a medicine on its packaging. This will include how much to take (the dose) and how regularly you can take it.
It will also include information about the type and strength of the medicine and its active ingredient.
Overdoses and side effects
If you suspect that you or someone else has taken too much of a medicine or you notice a side effect, immediately phone your doctor or the Poisons Information Centre (telephone 13 11 26) for advice, or go to the emergency department at your nearest hospital.
Do this even if there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning, as urgent medical attention may be required.
For more information
To find out more about your medicine, see the consumer medicine information by searching for your brand of medicine.
You can also download the NPS brochure Why does it matter which pain reliever I choose?

Thread: I do not know what I did wrong.

I do not know what I did wrong.
Hey there, thank you for any help in advance.
About 3 weeks ago I started my 50g tank up and let it run for a week before I added any fish. At one week I added 6 little tetras and kept an eye on my ammo levels. I did water changes as necessary to keep the ammo levels down to at least 2ppm. At week two I added 6 more cichlids and kept up with the water changes. At that time I also started reading nitrites. About half way through week three I did a water change to take my ammo and nitrites down and in the process lost all my nitrites and have yet to get them back. This Thursday will be week four. My ammo keeps going up and only drops with water changes, but nothing else will show up. I did not clean anything, no filter change, just water changes.
I have used filter media from another tank, got readings for about a day, then they went away. My ammo today is past 8ppm and I have no idea what else to do. I have been doing 50% to 60% water changes just trying to keep it down but in a day or two its right back up.
That is what it is like to cycle with fish.
You have to keep in mind, it takes time to grow the needed bacteria that will consume the ammonia and nitrites.
You should be testing your ammonia and nitrites daily. When the any of those two levels gets above 0.25ppm, complete a large enough water change to bring it back down to 0.25ppm. For example, if your ammonia hits 1ppm then complete a 75% water change to bring it back down to 0.25ppm. You have to keep in mind that ammonia and/or nitrites start to become toxic to fish at 0.25ppm and prolonged exposure will have some long term effects on their health
There is a link below in my sig that explains how to cycle with fish is you would like more info
I forgot to mention that letting your tank run with just water in it will not help you to grow the bacteria that you need to consume your ammonia and nitrites. The bacteria needs a source of ammonia to start growing. That typically comes from adding pure ammonia (if you are cycling without fish) or from the fish wast (when you cycle with fish)
Last edited by Cliff; 10-29-2013 at 12:37 AM.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
"Not using a quarantine tank is like playing Russian roulette. Nobody wins the game, some people just get to play longer than others." - Anthony Calfo
Fishless Cycle Cycling with Fish Marine Aquarium Info [URL="http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.com/"]
your ammonia levels are due to fish waste accumulating in the tank without anything removing it.
in a mature tank, beneficial bacteria converts ammonia into nitrite and eventually nitrate, which is much less harmful and can be allowed to build up to 20 parts per million. ammonia and nitrite should never exceed .25 parts per million.
the process of accumulating these bacteria is cycling, which you have not done. for now, your only choices are to return the fish and begin a fishless cycle or keep up the big daily water changes until the bacteria establishes itself, a process that may take from 4-8 weeks. instructions can be found in the beginner's section. before you further stock your tanks make sure to research fish compatibility too. some fish are aggressive, some are shy, some have special requirements regarding food and other things, some will outright outgrow your tank, eat their tankmates, have different water parameter preferences, etc.
what type of cichlids are those that you have?
Teka welcome to the AC.
You asked, "I do not know what I did wrong."
As the above two members said, your in the middle of cycling your tank with fish.
That is how it goes. Water change to get ammonia and nitrites down, monitor water, water change to get ammonia and nitrites down, etc.
Nitrites disappearing is not uncommon, sometimes they only show up for a short period of time. Have you tested for nitrates?
As long as you have ammonia readings showing up (no matter how light), keep up the water changes. I think your about 1/2 way there.Warning; Bulldog Pleco guarding my Sons tank now..
Please remember; every keystroke has a consequence.
Excellent advice from all above, I'd just like to add that you need to be adding a good water conditioner to help detoxify any ammonia/chloramines with each and every water change...how does your source water (tap, etc) test?
Ok so you have a way to go with the above members advice... one thing im confused on that I would like to get clarrified is you stated 6 tetra were added then 6 more CICHLIDS... did you add 6 more tetra by chance? Can you give us an accurate stocking of what is actually in your tank?

Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-
I found Laserbeak (deluxe) today. While I don't like the alt mode's look, I love the G1 bird reference.
I also found the Deluxe Bumblebee with all the weapon effects on him. I swore I wouldn't be buying a lot of Bumblebee products this time around. Yeah. That worked. There's also a NASCAR version of him that I might pick up, too. *groan*
I don't know if I posted it, but I got the Cyberverse commander class Blackout and love him too, Chux. I haven't run across Powerglide that I know of - or maybe I bought him the other day. Can't remember. I've gotten so busy that it's hard to remember these things now.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
I managed to sell off my Impossible Toys "Arcee" and use that money to purchase iGear's go at it, and let me say, VASTLY. SUPERIOR.
The plastic feels sturdier, the transformation is tighter and holds together even when posing it, not to mention that it comes with a stand, though she doesn't need it to stand on her own, unlike the Impossible Toys version which wouldn't stand up to save her life. Her weapons aren't chintzy little plastic blobs, she comes with stickers for decoration and the instructions are actually clearly taken photographs of the toy being transformed.
I am glad I got rid of the other one and got this instead. Pictures and further reviews can be found at http://shop.igeartoys.com/index.php?...&product_id=80
How does she look with your CHUG figures? Is the diecast a good addition or is it obtrusive? I was so utterly disappointed in the Impossible Toys version, and the iGear version is so expensive, I just don't want to get burned again.
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
She's sitting on the shelf with my Warbot (Springer), Kup (with iGear head) and Blurr and she looks great. Same height and everything. Transformed she's a bit shorter than Blurr but still looks like she's supposed to. The die-cast parts are completely invisible. They're merely the knee joints and chest piece so you can't really even tell they're there. My only complaint, and it's a non-issue, is that there's no instructions on where to put the stickers. I figured some of them out by the shape, but the rest I haven't a clue. There's also a nice large indention on her vehicle mode hood for the insertion of a rub-sign or (as I did) a regular Autobot insignia.
I have her on her stand now, but as I said, doesn't even require it, she can stand on her own just fine, unlike the IT version which couldn't if her life depended on it. If you're on the fence about it, I'd say make the jump. She's totally worth the purchase.
Movie line figures are on sale at WM, deluxes are $10, Voyagers are $18.50, and Leaders are $42.
Stupid movie line has now crowded out ever finding Wreck-Gar or Warpath, although the previous pegwarming Generations waves seem to keep hitting for some reason. And the movie line looks TERRIBLE, nearly every figure looks small and chintzy and overwhelmed by an action gimmick weapon. I've had a hard time finding ANY interest, the first day it came out I looked at everything while on my way to an errand, and nothing caught my eye.
Since then, I've slowly bought a few pieces, cautiously after lots of research. First it was Backfire & Spike, I had seen a ton of pics of the other little Human Alliance basic sets and they looked dead awful, but this one looked ok. And it is, the instructions don't seem to know what's going on in weapon mode (like how the figure sits UNDER the now-moved engine block, or how the front wheel splays), but the rest is decent with good paint and a big orange cannon for weapon mode and lots of detail.
Next it was Skyhammer, and this figure is excellent. Fantastic detailing, not a bayverse aspect anywhere, an incredible transformation, possibly the best helicopter TF I've ever owned. His colors work really well, he has almost no kibble, good articulation, and the rotors-as-chest is very clever. The weapon is a bit obnoxious, but not as bad as some I've seen in this line, but the blade not locking is stupid, so I just bypassed that and figured out a way to lock the blade (use a tool like a flat-head screwdriver to stop the rack gear, then manually engage the blade, it'll use friction to hold at the end). His styling is almost Gundam with the small waist and tall legs, but he's got plenty of his own style. The instructions, while necessary due to the complexity of the transformation, are also at times baffling and have things out of order, and use a prototype that doesn't quite match, and tries to suggest something but just implies removing the rotor instead which is impossible since it's riveted on. Oh, and his rocket pods are positionable and removable, a nice touch, even though they look great behind his back.
Today it was Dlx Starscream based on the comments I read in this thread. It's not a bad figure, but it's a bit small, and the chest ends up quite gappy. The bayverse digitigrade legs certainly make him stumpy, but the fact that they got so much design accuracy into this deluxe is impressive none the less. I also like his weapons, which was unexpected.
All in all though, these are the only figures tempting me right now. I am looking for leader Ironhide, and wee Powerglide, but that's about it. I'm still not sure of 'roid-abusing Shockwave.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
So, just to keep a running tally, the Classics/Universe/Generations figures we'll never see (or see in insanely small numbers) due to shoddy distribution, not even counting weirdness like the HTS exclusive Overkill (that looks nothing like Overkill) are:
Warpath 1 (Legends)
Rodimus 2 (Legends)
Warpath 2 (Deluxe)
Wreck-Gar (I'm still looking for you, JT, but have actually seen more Kups lately)
And that's not counting the inevitable, semi-confirmed repaints, like Frenzy and the Junkion stooge.
Really, that's a pretty sizable chunk of basically unavailable figures. That's big enough proportionally to make one give up on classic Transformers, or Transformers altogether if they don't collect movie stuff.
I really wonder if Hasbro thinks about this when packing cases with Skullgrin. Or even Thunderwing. I love both characters, but they're hardly remembered as widely and fondly as Wheeljack.
And they definitely have some sort of grudge against poor ol' Warpath.
Well the first 4 were released quite some time ago (if we're talking about the same legends class figures that is). I picked them all up with the legends Cliffjumper from BBTS in like 2008. HasTak seems to like limiting the production of these things after awhile, creating a false "limited edition" feel to them. This applies with all their toy lines lately. They'll crank out a wave, distribute it willy-nilly and you might see the items, but you probably won't.
Wheeljack and Thundercracker are slowly trickling into the stores. I've read reports of people picking them up periodically in stores. Same with Warpath, but on an incredibly miniscule scale.
I have no hopes of seeing Windcharger or Rumble ever, or Warpath for that matter, and I agree with you. It's a minor thing in life really, not being able to purchase a toy for a collection, but as a collector, it's frustrating that this company is limiting the release of these items as they are. Hell, I remember seeing pictures for Windcharger 2 years ago. I have no idea how long it takes to produce and distribute toys, but...why tease us with pictures 2 years before telling us: "Oh hey, we're not actually LETTING you purchase him. Sorry! ::snicker::" They did the same thing with the Transformers:Animated Rodimus/Ironhide figures. I have magazines with pictures of them from 2008, and we didn't get him until 2010. I guess I'd have to have a talk with someone in the industry to fully understand it all, but from a consumer standpoint, it doesn't make any sense to me.
The movie stuff is unfortunately pushing out the stuff the classic collectors want, and to make it worse, plenty of classic collectors buy the movie toys, giving Hasbro the impression that we ALL want them. The only way to get them to realise that there are 2 camps here, is for the sales of the movie toys to decline to a standstill by collectors. (It'll obviously never cease completely, I don't expect a child to be deprived of a toy they want.) This will never happen though, because someone will always "step over the line" as it were, thinking "this one purchase won't hurt anything". I'm keeping my money in my wallet, not even purchasing Star Wars or Marvel figures. It's my 1-man protest, not that it'll impact anything, but I can say I tried.
I finally found Thundercracker, yesterday. Unfortunately, it came a day after I got sick of the hunt for him and purchased one on ebay. No other figures from that wave were on the rack.
Finally opened up Powerglide. Great figure, but having a problem keeping his nose down in vehicle mode.
Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-
I wish he had a more classics head sculpt, which could turn, and his hips weren't so far apart, but he's pretty cool. I would ask to have the G1 wing transformation, which is my favorite aspect of the toy, but I'm trying not to be greedy.
On second thought, Dear Santa...
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!

What is it about code rusting?
I start working on mp3make again and it's broken in so many ways. Hacked away for most of the night but it's not ready yet.
Re-installed xmcd and their cda app that mp3make uses has changed slightly which also breaks my code. Bordering on some serious low quality hacks to make it work with both old and new versions.
Have now started using CVS at home so had to import it all and tag it for the previous version etc. I'd long resisted source control for my own projects as I was the only one working on them. I was foolish and wrong.
Will hack about more over the weekend and try to get something released.

International Cultural Module
With the principles of group management, risk evaluation and preparation similar (and transferable) across all countries, the Cultural Module looks specifically at those areas that do require local knowledge:
- legal factors - roles and responsibilities in that country; limitations that may apply
- navigation and rights of access
- weather and local effects, as well as local and CTC (previously OTC) qualification specifications of limits
- emergency procedures - how the emergency response services operate and what is expected of you
- communication, the essentials of language and operation
Course outcomes
CTC (previously OTC) has staff based within Europe on a permanent basis, as well as staff with extensive experience of other world regions, hence having an in-depth knowledge of many regions in order to create a range of country-specific Cultural Modules.
Courses are provided throughout Europe during the season, both for the general mountain bike public (open courses) and for companies and organisations (special courses). Where you attend a course based in Europe, it is specific to the country of provision. Moving to a different state means gaining the knowledge provided through a cultural module for that state.
Please contact the Courses & Training Helpline to find out if this course is available for booking: 01483 238 337
What you need
Prior to attending you will have:
- completed any CTC (previously OTC) Leader qualification
- provide a logbook of personal rides (12 different routes, 3 geologically different areas) in the applicable country
- A valid and appropriate First Aid certificate (or obtain one shortly after your course).
You should also:
- Have gained the capacity to communicate to a sufficient degree in the local language, or a widely used alternative
- Have used and understood the local maps
The Cultural Module is equaly applicable to Trail Leaders as to Advanced Leaders: as long as you are an CTC qualified Leader, you may attend.
What next?
The Cultural Module in itself does not progress you towards additional training or qualifications, other than those already applicable to the level of CTC Leader Award held.

Nurturing career options for young adults with diabetes in the developing world is a stepping stone from which individuals can build a living, and a means with which they can afford to pay for essential diabetes supplies not subsidised by the government.
Two years ago, with help from the IDF Life for a Child Programme, the DREAM Trust in Nagpur, India, began a small business start-up programme with several deserving young adults with type 1 who were keen to start a small business of their own and develop their income prospects. After in-depth discussions regarding their proposed project, each applicant was given a set amount of funds. As the projects progressed, members of the DREAM Trust faculty took time to visit a number of start-ups personally. Life for a Child is delighted to share with you the success stories we recently received from the Trust's Managing Trustee, Dr Sharad Pendsey.
Success stories
1. Ashish, 27 years
This young man received funding to start a dairy business and purchased a buffalo. Profits from the last two years enabled him to buy another buffalo, a number of goats and some chickens. Happily, the first buffalo gave birth to a healthy calf, increasing his stock to three buffaloes. After a delay of eight years, Ashish went back to school and successfully passed his final year exams. He is now pursuing a Bachelor of Arts.
2. Archana, 34 years
Archana was granted funds for her artificial jewellery business. The amount of stock has grown and now incorporates women's clothing and everyday items such as shampoo, soaps, and packaged foods. She is happy with her business, but already plans to expand: she has joined a local dress-making course and intends to purchase a multiple feature sewing machine. She would also like to build a small beauty parlour on her premises.
3. Hemant, 27 years
Hemant requested funding for a desktop computer. He has been busy with various projects, including online applications for various competitive exams for aspiring students in his village. A good printer, amongst other equipment, is the next step for expanding his business.
4. Ramesh, 31 years
Ramesh was funded to start a stationary shop to which he added several items of general use. This shop is looked after by his wife, while he does business on bicycle, visiting small villages every day.
5. Rameshwar, 25 years
Based in a tiny village in Madhya Pradesh Tribal area, Rameshwar began a small business preparing puffed rice from unpolished rice. Instead of receiving money, he trades polished rice in exchange for puffed rice. Some of this is sold, and some he keeps to feed his family.

Weak Signal Communication Software
WSJT, MAP65, WSPR, and WSJT-X are open-source programs designed for weak-signal digital communication by amateur radio. Normal usage requires a standard SSB transceiver and a personal computer with soundcard. SDR-style hardware including the SDR-IQ, Perseus, SoftRock, and FUNcube Dongle is supported by MAP65 and WSPR. SimJT is a utility program that generates simulated signals for test purposes. Ready-to-run Windows versions of all programs are available for free download, and the programs (except SimJT) can also be compiled and used under Linux, OS X, and FreeBSD. For details about source code and operating systems other than Windows, see the Program Development page.
WSJT ("Weak Signal Communication, by K1JT") offers specific digital protocols optimized for EME (moonbounce), meteor scatter, and ionospheric scatter, at VHF/UHF, as well as for HF skywave propagation. The program can decode fraction-of-a-second signals reflected from ionized meteor trails and steady signals 10 dB below the audible threshold. Check the WSJT page and links therein for details about modes JTMS, FSK441, ISCAT, JT6M, JT65, and JT4.
WSJT-X implements JT9, a new mode optimized for weak-signal communication on the LF, MF, and HF bands. JT9 is about 2 dB more sensitive than JT65 and uses less than 10% of the bandwidth. A beta release of Version 1.4 of WSJT-X was released on October 1, 2014; further program enhancements are under active development . Plans call for the eventual inclusion of the other popular modes now supported in WSJT.
MAP65 implements a wideband receiver for JT65 signals, optimized for EME on the VHF/UHF bands. It can be used together with Linrad (by SM5BSZ) or SDR-Radio (by HB9DRV), or with direct input from a soundcard or FUNcube Dongle. The program decodes all JT65 signals in a passband up to 90 kHz wide, producing a band map of callsigns sorted by frequency. In a dual-polarization system, MAP65 optimally matches the linear polarization angle of each signal, thereby eliminating problems with Faraday rotation and spatial polarization shifts.
WSPR (pronounced "whisper") stands for "Weak Signal Propagation Reporter." This program is designed for sending and receiving low-power transmissions to test propagation paths on the MF and HF bands. Users with internet access can watch results in real time at WSPRnet. Version 2.11 of WSPR includes FMT, a package of command-line utilities that can help you make highly accurate frequency measurements without expensive laboratory equipment. Experimental version WSPR-X is also available, offering an optional mode WSPR-15 with 15-minute transmissions and better sensitivity by about 9 dB.
SimJT generates JT65 and CW test signals with user-specified signal-to-noise ratio. It is useful for testing the JT65 decoder and the relative capabilities of these two modes.

It's not an AMV. Or an MMV. Actually I don't know what you call videos like these made with fanart :\ a M@D maybe? This is a slightly modified version of the one I have on Youtube. Nothing has changed much except for the timing and some tiny touches that aren't really noticeable. Also I don't know if this is allowed to be uploaded on the org but the credit list of artist names can be found in the video information page though I think I may have missed one or two. I'll add an indirect mediafire link later on just in case. Or you can always watch on it Youtube.
I don't usually edit this type of video but I made this for my sister's birthday pretty quickly cause she loves this kind of thing and I actually found it kinda fun to edit despite the rush. Hope you enjoy it!

Companies in Asia Pacific find it difficult to navigate the cultural diversity of the region
The countries in Asia have different languages, cultures and religion. Some of them are even a melting pot of people from different linguistic, cultural and historical backgrounds. This diversity often makes it difficult for businesses operating in the region to understand and adapt to these diversities (Read about all 10 challenges for businesses in APAC).
"This vast diversity of cultures and languages is a challenge before the biosciences industry in the region," says Mr Kamal Joshi, senior manager- IP Protection & Commercilaization, Venus Remedies, India.
Mr Rahul Dev, managing partner, Tech Corp Legal LLP, India, agrees that this is a challenge for companies doing business in the region. "There is a vast diversity of cultures, languages, and economic and governance models. Therefore, a general approach followed by various organizations is to form a base in Japan or Singapore for focusing on research capabilities mainly, and simultaneously concentrating on the fast-growing markets of China and India," he says.
"The pharmerging markets of China and India undoubtedly present major opportunities for Australian biotech companies," says Dr Deborah Rathjen, CEO & MD of Bionomics, Australia. "But many managers are uncertain about how to go about building links with Asian countries and to surmount the plethora of legal, linguistic, and often protectionist challenges they present." She adds that these "heavily regulated and culturally demanding environments do offer enormous opportunities, particularly in China, where the local biotech industry, bolstered by massive government investment, has seen an annual growth above 20 percent in the last three years."
Within the APAC region, China alone has vast regional differences, points out Mr Ling Sun, analyst, Datamonitor Healthcare, China. He adds that it poses significant challenges for multinationals (MNCs), which typically don't have the same strong relationships and inherent understanding of provincial market dynamics as compared to domestic players.

Shareholders body disappointed overhaul of securities law won't kick in until 2016.
Investors will have to wait until April 2016 to get the full protection from a new law overhauling how financial products can be created, promoted and sold.
A discussion document released by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment yesterday reveals that although the Financial Markets Conduct Bill will come into force from April 2014, issuers of securities won't have to comply with the new rules until two years later.
And the ministry admits even that timeframe may be unachievable.
"This timeframe is ambitious, and there is a possibility of slippage. The ministry recognises that it is important to remain flexible and realistic," it says in the document. "While industry supports the reforms in the FMC Bill, it is important that the regime is implemented smoothly and goodwill is maintained."
The bill is the first major rewrite of securities law in more than 30 years and the Government hopes it will help rebuild confidence in the financial markets after finance company collapses which cost investors an estimated $6 billion.
Shareholders Association chief executive John Hawkins said he recognised there needed to be transition arrangements but he was disappointed with the timeframe.
"We would have liked to have seen this a little sooner."
The full law change will come into force nearly 10 years after the first finance company collapse - National Finance 2000 was placed into receivership in May 2006.
Hawkins said the situation made him thankful the association had pushed so hard for the new investment regulator, the Financial Markets Authority, which had already overseen several changes to the industry.
Chapman Tripp partner Roger Wallis said a two-year transition was a realistic assessment of how long it would take for the industry to make the changes. "It's quite a big change."
Wallis said there was a lot of work to be done to get through the law changes and apply it practically.
But he said parts of the bill would be introduced before April 2016, with quarterly KiwiSaver reporting due to start in April and anti-money-laundering legislation kicking in from June.
The discussion paper covers issues including how to make investment disclosure documents more accessible to retail investors, how the rules for financial products sold to the public will be governed and licensing of fund managers.
Commerce Minister Craig Foss said the regulations needed to work for both issuers and investors.
"Investors must have confidence in the integrity of financial markets."
Interested parties have until March 1 to comment on the consultation document with a draft exposure of the new regulations expected to be completed by October.
Steps to security
Predicted timeframe for the Financial Markets Conduct Bill
* May 2013 Bill passed into law and initial provisions come into force.
* October 2013 Exposure draft of regulations released.
* April 2014 FMC Regulations mostly in force, start of two-year transition period.
* April 2016 All existing regulated products and new offers have to meet new regulations.
