are me and wayne nutt the only two people who care about college ball this weekend? aggies and tide gonna be a good one!
chizik has his back against the wall, will the bulldogs show up for their 2nd biggest rival of the year? i hear bobby petrino and his girlfriend will be watching the game with jay jacobs?
let's hear some smack talk folks!!!!

There's nothing to talk about. When you OWN a team like LSU does STATE (19-1 in the last 20. 12 game winning streak & the 1 win was because of severe home cooking.), it's just a W.
Who is Jay Jacobs? Auburn AD? Yesterday the odds went back to -14 for AL but now back to -13 1/2. I keep waiting for a sign of an outside intervention. Anyone heard of something that would cool off the AL team?

yes jay jacobs is auburn ad. with that spread i think the smart moneyt is on texas a&m. bama might win but it is unlikely to be by more than two touchdowns if they do. lots of local folk really concerned about this one.
john mccallie
Against similar Defenses A&M scores avg. 18 points and that was @ Home against each.
Florida won by 3,
LSU by 6, of course knowing how A&M scored that last TD, LSU could/should have won by 12
Besides the LSU Game, Bama's lowest score this year was 33 pts. against Ole'Miss.
A&M is going on the Road for it's 3rd straight time.
Bryant Denny Stadium and the Tide will be too much too handle for the young freshman and company.
Bold Prediction;
Bama/ 38-20
LSU is harder to figure out. Yea they got up big time last weekend, but this weekend who knows? I expect them to be ready to play, Miles always has his team ready to play. I feel the urge to say it might get ugly with two Horses having over 100+ rushing and Zach M. 200+ with two TD's and 1 INT.
...but the urge isn't very strong...maybe?, I'm a tad apprehensive in wondering what the toll last weekend might have taken. Then again, this is LSU right? They don't do two losses in a row right? Right?....RIGHT!
I don't give a crap about the other 35+ games going on LOL!
And the Oregon Ducks are only favored by 28 1/2.
You only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough.
The purpose of lifes journey is not to arrive at the grave with a well-preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, body completely used up, drink in hand, yelling and screaming, Woo Hoo what a ride!
who the ducks playin' this weekend merlin? the ducks can just hand the ball to that running back four times in the first quarter and put up the twenty eight. they should be able to pass for another couple to cover. my money is on the ducks no matter who it is in a tough pac 12 matchup!

I heard Nick Saban had the flu, QB had a stomach virus and one RB had a pulled hamstring. All are questionable for the game this afternoon. Anyone else hear these rumors?

It has come to my attention that in a number of places I'm attributed as the author of the Istanbul desktop session recorder. This is incorrect. I frankly can't tell about the quality of this piece of software, as I never have used it, but I wouldn't rule out that I'll have a look at it some day.
However, I can see where this misconception stems from: Some time ago, I fixed a typo at the FSF wiki, and since that time the bottom of the Istanbul wiki page there says something like "Last change by Nicolas Kaiser". Now someone must have erroneously taken me for the author of this project, which I'm not, and this misconception apparently has spread to other sites.
Credit where due - in this case, not me.

PETALINI - Laser-Cut Canvas and Calfskin Leather Handbag
|2 lbs. 0 oz. (0,9 Kg.)
Exterior: Approx. 11"H x 16"W x 10"D
Interior: Approx. 8"H (in the center) x 15"W (at wides point) x 8"D (at the bottom)
Caterina's bags are created with three simple ingredients: leather, fabric, and inspired creativity. Each bag is handcrafted using the finest calfskin leather, then dyed using a technique called "tinto in capo": rather than using pre-dyed pieces of leather, the entire bag is dyed after it is put together… resulting in a luxuriously soft bag with a broken-in, one-of-a-kind look.
Her chic, intoxicating designs will surely turn heads, but more importantly, Caterina's bags will give you the satisfaction of knowing that you own something that is truly special in every sense of the word.
Denim is on BACKORDER. We have one discounted DENIM available. Please inquire.
Round, plump, slouchy, chic - this is all true of the PETALINI laser-cut handbag by Caterina Lucchi. It has a round pleated bottom and a very wide opening and hangs beautifully on the shoulder. But the key feature that stands out is the laser-cut perforated motif: it adds a fresh, airy, summery-ness to the bag.Features:
- Handmade in Italy with canvas and super-soft calfskin leather
- Laser-cut perforated design adds design and texture
- Two double-strap handles (with 9-12" drop, depending on contents)
- Removable and adjustable 3/4" wide leather strap
- Leather strap decoration on one side
- One main zippered compartment with extra-wide opening (20.5"!) and Caterina Lucchi's signature tassel zipper pull
- Cotton-lined interior
- Zippered pocket, 2 open accessory pockets and a Caterina Lucchi logo badge on the interior

Given the questionable weather forecasts I decided to shoot a GigaPan of Moraine Park on the evening of my arrival in Estes Park, Colorado for the Fine Outreach for Science (FOFS) GigaPan conference. The lighting wasn't great, but at least all of the peaks around the valley were in the clear. Thirty seven hours later I shot another Gigapan from this location with much better light: www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=5421

This will be the first of two posts that I will make in the Stukes Chalk Talk forum. It will be the first time that I've created a topic in this forum. By far, Blitz has been the most active in creating topics in this forum, and perhaps he and the rest of you can offer your thoughts on whether there are stratagies with regards to the opening kickoff.
According to the CFL rules, the following procedures apply with regards to kickoffs to start the first and second halfs:
At the start of the game, the captains of both teams shall meet the referee at centre field. The referee shall toss a coin with the visiting team captain making the call. The captain of the team winning the coin toss shall declare whether to have first choice at the start of the first or second half.
The captain of team having first choice at the start of the first half shall choose between:
kicking off or receiving the kickoff or,
which end of the field to defend.
The captain of the other team shall have first choice at the start of the second half, when both captains shall again meet the referee at centre field to make their choices.
What is more important - being able to choose whether to kick or receive the kickoff, or being able to choose which end of the field to defend?
I know that in outdoor games played on days where it is windy, if a team has control over which end of the field to defend, then they will always choose to have the wind at their backs for the all-important fourth quarter when it could be possible that the entire game will come down to a long field goal attempt, and having the wind aid in the distance will definitely help.
Most teams that win the opening coin toss will defer to the second half, and will usually request to receive the ball to start off the second half. So in the first half, the team losing the coin toss will have the choice and they usually elect to receive the ball - but not always.
This is a question that I've been wanting to ask since the Grey Cup game, but have never got around to. In the 2006 Grey Cup, Montreal won the coin toss and they chose to defer to the second half. And at the start of the third quarter, BC kicked off to Montreal to start off the second half. So the Lions had a choice whether to kickoff or receive to start the first half, and they elected to kickoff. So this meant that BC kicked off and Montreal received to start off both halfs.
Why did BC decide to kickoff to start the game when most teams would elect to receive if the other team deferred to the second half? What was the strategy behind that?

By Floyd Ingram/Chickasaw Journal
OKOLONA – Dr. Jerry Woods has told the Okolona School Board he will not take the district's top post, prompting trustees to schedule a meeting with their second choice on Monday.
Woods was offered the job of superintendent Sunday afternoon following a community interview and vote by the school board.
Dexter Green, a principal with Tunica County Schools and a 23-year veteran educator, is the apparent second choice. Dr. Debra Dace, also with Tunica County Schools was also one of the three finalists presented to the public Sunday.
"We have accepted Dr. Woods' decision and the full board will meet with Mr. Green Monday about this situation," said Okolona School Board Vice President William Bailey. "Dr. Woods had more experience as a superintendent, but we felt like Mr. Green was more approachable. He has also had a lot of success at Tunica."
Bailey said Woods declined the job for personal reasons. The Okolona district went into conservatorship in February 2010 due to poor academic rankings and financial instability. The school board was dissolved and the superintendent's post vacated when a state conservator was named.
The district came out from under state sanctions last summer. A five-member school board made up of Dr. Jerome Smith, Bailey, Sullivan, Sara L. Jenkins and William "Bill" Stewart was seated in December. Trustees have repeatedly said selecting a new superintendent was their top priority.
Green said Friday he was "still very interested in the position," but felt commenting on the situation at this time was inappropriate. He said he will meet with the Okolona School Board on Monday.
The district had nine applicants for superintendent and pared that list to three. Sunday's public forum saw each of the three finalist asked a series of five questions.
Green said Sunday his first 100 days would be used to work with the staff to develop a five-year plan for the district.
Green received his Master's of Education from Jackson State University and has been a principal at Dundee Elementary School for the past 10 years.

i sat his arse for Fang and Vanille with the quickness
quote:Yea, I'd be all sad too...
but his mother did die so... guess he was having some issues
quote:I have no problem with the revenge angle. I have a problem with being forced to listen to him whine during every cutscene. Even after he reconciled with Snow, he still whined constantly.
I didn't particularly like him, but I did not find whiny or annoying. I thought he was opposite of that at times because he was motivated by revenge and was out to kill Snow for half the game.
In regards to the multi status ailments comment, one of the 4 times I've died was because I was fighting a giant plant in the snow world that would turn my team into silenced, sleeping frogs. He kills CID and Tifa, then tries to attack Cloud with his only attack, an ice based beam. Cloud has ice ring, so I could never die. Eventually just turned it off
Ha I know exactly what part you are talking about, I think it is possible to have two ribbons by that point. One is actually through a secret wall in the ice cave. You actually can get that limit break skill from the enemy if you wanted it. I can't think of that things name but it is in most if not all FF's.
I can't think of that things name but it is in most if not all FF's.

Carson, have you never played 8 before?
I played for like 4 hours straight yesterday

Pennsylvania insurance commissioner could get power to force UPMC-Highmark talksJanuary 28, 2014 10:54 PM
Another bill aimed at forcing Highmark and UPMC back to the negotiating table has been introduced in Harrisburg.
This one, unveiled during a Tuesday news conference, is sponsored by state Rep. Tony DeLuca, D-Penn Hills, and would give the state Department of Insurance and its commissioner greater latitude when it comes to forcing negotiations and, if necessary, binding arbitration between two warring health care organizations.
"The ongoing debate between the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Highmark has left many confused and afraid of losing access to the doctors and hospitals they've come to trust," Mr. DeLuca said in a statement.
Under an existing 39-year-old law, known as Act 94, the state Insurance Department can suspend the termination of a contract between a hospital and a Blue Cross Blue Shield insurer by up to six months.
A similar bill was introduced in the previous legislative session, but it was not passed into law. This bill, HB 1964, allows the insurance commissioner to step into the fray to deal with all contract expirations and terminations between hospitals and insurers, according to a co-sponsorship memo circulated in Harrisburg.
The insurance commissioner would have the authority to extend an expiring contract by up to six months, and then impose a new, mediated contract of up to 18 months, under the proposed law.
Highmark is the region's dominant health insurer, and UPMC the region's largest health and hospital network; the current contract between the two is set to expire at the end of 2014.
If a new contract isn't signed before then, starting in 2015 many Highmark customers won't have access to the majority of UPMC hospitals and specialists at in-network prices unless they switch insurers -- which is what UPMC is hoping for.
UPMC says it doesn't want to sign a new deal with Highmark because the insurance company became a direct competitor to UPMC with its purchase of the ailing West Penn Allegheny Health System and subsequent launch of the Allegheny Health Network. UPMC also offers insurance through its UPMC Health Plan.
Also in the state House, Western Pennsylvania legislators are considering a so-called "any willing insurer" bill that would effectively require hospitals that are part of an "integrated delivery network," such as UPMC, to contract with any willing insurer.

Ugh, I've been without a phone all damn evening because of this tweak man!!! WTH!!! Ok, so here's the deal, when the lockscreen loads it just freezes hard. I have to do a hard reset to get it to reboot, then it just returns to the lock screen and freezes. It won't boot into safe mode. Did you not build your tweak in the confines of mobilsubstrate? What can I do to get my phone working other than restoring it? I keep my tweaks very light, I have the following installed: lockscreenfx, unlockfx, barrel, and that's about it that I can imagine this'd interfere with.
I'm trying to use iFunBox to install this .deb you're posting. I've never used iFunBox and I don't normally use Windows, but since the PC still recognizes that my iPhone is plugged in, I drop this deb into the app, then do the safe eject thing, it says it'll install the new .deb on boot, i reboot, same crap, what do you need? How can I get my phone to work again?
actually, just got it to work, the first time i didn't do the safe eject thing, this time i did, installed the new .deb i guess since it now boots (I had rebooted atleast 10 times to no avail). now i can get into cydia and uninstall this crap!!!
Wow thanks for telling us about this one. Fail.
I would like to see a mod that puts an icon on your springboard, and to activate it you hold your finger on it for a second and a vertical slider appears. This would be good for both volume and brightness.
Or, even better, an icon that you tap and the brightness goes down instantly to 30% (or whatever you configure it for), no matter what brightess was set at prior. A 20% button and a 55% button would be all I need.
Why they cant make it like this.
Awesome to have buttons for brightess, as sliders are a major-***** pain on a touchscreen - but SBB disables a LOT of Activator functions ... so with a heavy heart, I've had to give it the heave-ho.
Now, if the developer could increase its intercompatibility and allow the buttons to be repositioned/resized, it would be one of the single most useful apps on Cydia.
How bizarre is that.
After posting the above, I open Cydia to uninstall SBB - and there are updates to it and Activator which re-enable all the lost Activator functions.
It's enough to turn an Atheist religious.
God, if you do exist - thankyou very much.
Installed twice, once before and once after the fix. Won't download this tweak again.
4" years of jailbreaking, bricking crap tweaks and countless restores and lost Days worth of hours fixing, restoring and re-jailbreaking" seriously dude? why not just get a phone that can do what you want instead of having a phone that forces you to do what it wants. this is 50% of the reason why I switched from iOS to Android. I can have all that I want without having to do all this stuff.
that's a false statement if I ever saw one. its obviously not a better product if you have to hack it to make it do all the things the competition's device can do. but If that's what makes you feel better then Im not going to get into one of those tit-for-tat fan boy fights with you.
people like us know how to do all these things, we know how to find solutions to our problems and address the shortcomings of the OS but your average user knows nothing, if it don't work out the box, they're lost.

Roland RS-202 Strings
The RS-202 is a string and brass synthesizer released in 1976 that followed the lackluster RS-101. Oddly the RS-202 wasn't much different than its 101 predecessor. The RS-202 had two new features: a user-controlled delay for the vibrato, and an Ensemble/Chorus effect (that would be seen on dozens of future Roland analog synths for years, including the Junos and Jupiters). It makes the ultimate "disco" string sound.
The RS-202 is fully polyphonic (all 61 keys can play simultaneously). Basically three sound presets are in the RS-202: Strings I, Strings II and Brass. Forget the brass, however, because this machine is all about the strings, and for a time it was considered Roland's finest string machine. Strings I covers low cello & bass type sounds and Strings II is thinner and in the higher registers for Viola and Violin type sounds.
The keyboard is permanently split into two separate sections, the lower 2 octaves and the upper 3 octaves. Each section has it's own set of identical controls. These include three white On/Off buttons for each of the three sound presets. This means you can assign any sound to each section, and any combination; For example, set the lower section to Strings II and set the upper section to Strings I+II+Brass if you like. There are also two grey buttons in each section for "Slow Attack" and "Volume Soft". Each section also has its own sustain slider and there are global brilliance sliders for the brass and string sections independently.
Basic effects included the Ensemble (chorus) effect and Vibrato. A switching-slider is used to select Ensemble I, Ensemble II or Off. The Vibrato effect section had just two sliders: Delay and Speed (depth could not be changed). The Ensemble section did wonders for the sound of this machine; the 'Ensemble II' setting introduced a rich chorus, whereas the 'Ensemble I' produced the faster, deeper ensemble effect that became an instant classic. Sadly, like most vintage synthesizers the RS-202 is mono (high/low output jacks on back) and provides only a trigger output for an external synthesizer. It's built-in to a suit-case style housing which made it easily portable.
The RS-202 is a truly vintage and classic machine. Historically, it launched Roland's signature Ensemble effect. It also sounded fantastic - with or without the ensemble effect engaged. It easily stood up against many competing synths of its time such as the Arp Solina. It's been used by Tony Banks, Rod Argent, Tomita, Nick Magnus, Jethro Tull, Camel, and Magnum.
A sort of trivia regarding the RS-202: It was virtually cloned by an small American company called Multivox. they released the MX-202 which not only looked almost totally identical to the RS-202, but also featured copied hardware - component for component! Despite only a few minor differences between the two, the MX-202 still didn't sound as nice as the Roland.

In 1987 AoA established the Prevention of Elder Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation program. Through the program, AoA provides federal leadership in strengthening elder justice strategic planning and direction for programs, activities, and research related to elder abuse awareness and prevention. This program trains law enforcement officers, health care providers, and other professionals on how to recognize and respond to elder abuse; supports outreach and education campaigns to increase public awareness of elder abuse and how to prevent it; and supports the efforts of state and local elder abuse prevention coalitions and multidisciplinary teams.
AoA allocates grants under this program by formula to states and territories based on their share of the population aged 60 and over. States and territories have the discretion to allocate funding among the various activities authorized under the program. They also may choose to distribute the funds to area agencies on aging and local service providers.
To support this important program, AoA provides funding for the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA). The NCEA serves as a national resource center dedicated to
the prevention of elder mistreatment, and provides relevant information, materials,
and support to enhance state and local efforts to prevent and address elder mistreatment.
For an overview of this program, please visit the National
Center on Elder Abuse section of the website, or you may go directly to the

There are a variety of treatments that can improve uneven skin texture. One of the most effective is to exfoliate the surface of the skin to remove dull, dry skin cells that have built up. With exfoliation, you'll see immediate results as dead cells are gently removed to reveal healthier skin underneath. Exfoliation not only improves skin texture, it also gives skin a youthful glow. After exfoliating, it's important to follow up with a moisturizer to shield skin against further water loss that can make it feel dry and rough.
Glycolic acid is a weak acid that most commonly comes from sugar cane. When used topically, it increases skin cell turnover so that dry, dead cells are shed more rapidly. This creates a smoother skin surface. Not only does it improve skin texture, it gives skin a more youthful appearance by softening fine lines and causing it to reflect light better.
Sun protection should also be a priority since sun damage contributes to uneven skin texture by breaking down collagen and elastin. Choose a sunscreen that offers high-powered protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Wear it indoors and outdoors since UVA rays can penetrate glass.
Other treatments:
There are other treatments that are administered by a dermatologist or esthetician in order to improve uneven skin texture. These include microdermabrasion and chemical peels using a higher strength of glycolic acid to remove the outer layer of skin cells, revealing smoother skin underneath. These treatments are effective, but they require a series of treatments, which can be expensive.
The bottom line:
Uneven skin texture makes skin look older, and it makes it difficult to apply cosmetics evenly. Fortunately, gentle exfoliation, sun protection and treatments that contain glycolic acid improve skin texture while making skin look smoother and more youthful

Results 1 to 10 of 39
Last things needed before I get discus? Pre-filter sponge, aged water, PH, Nitrates?
I've had aquarium for about 18 months now and recently upgraded tank size to try the ultimate: keep a planted discus tank! After a few months of working my aquascape, I'm very close to being ready to add my first discus. A well reputed lfs has some pretty mature wild caught and since I've gotten friendly with manager, is willing to sell me entire school of 7 for under $300. Since I live in Philly, I plan to make a trip to Hans and hand pick the next batch after "get the hang of it." Before I do it, wanted to ask your opinions on the following:
1. I think my nitrates are still a bit high for discus so I wanted to do a few water changes this week and get nitrates down to 5 or so (like it comes out of the tap). It is currently at about 20. Been a few months since changing filter so I will do that tonight which will likely help.
2. I plan to get my water tested for hardness. If it is very hard, I am willing to purchase RO system (see some on CL every once in a while). I am quite sure it is because I have white streaks if I don't wipe it clean.
3. I don't have a pre-filter sponge but have read the sticky and plan to add the filter I had for a 20 gallon tank since it isn't deep like the FX5s and can skim top.
4. How important is it to age water? I used to add 5 gallon buckets at a time just using dechlorinator and moving it around a bit. Now I add the dechlorinator right to the tank and fill it slowly with a water changer direct from sink. In order to maintain 150 gallon, I read to get a 55 gallon food drum and sanitize it then put heater and aerator. This would be challenging to find room for but I would figure it out if it is important.
5. How important is it to have an accurate PH reader for discus? I currently use the API test kit
My tank:
150 gallon, 72" X 30" X 18", LED from BuildMyLED, sand with some eco complete in heavily planted areas, two (2) FX5 for filtration, no CO2
PH about 6.8 and nitrates about 20
Planted with low to mid light plants - various crypts, vals, anubia, rotala echinodorus tenellus, tiger lotus, heteranthera zosterifolia
Fish - 25 rummynose, 12 emperor, 8 cardinal, 12 corey sterbai, BN pleco, royal farowella, pair of GBR, snails, amano and cherry shrimp

Have you considered sump filtration? Its another investment but it adds water volume and a lot more area for a refugium and/or a scrubber to aid in filtration.
How many total discus do you plan? The 300 for the wilds is a great deal considering most wilds that are quality are 300 per.
What is your water change regiment?
First, are you completely satisfied with the health and quality of those LFS wild discus ? No doubts at all ? Has the store owner told you the source of these fish, it's reliability, whether they have been de-wormed, etc. A caution here, because when you later introduce fish from Hans, it could have bad results for the new discus if a proper QT is not religiously undertaken.
Yes, your nitrates are too high. You need to do more frequent, larger wcs to get it, and keep it, below 10 ppm.
Your API test kit is ok. How hard is your water ? Have you tested pH right out of the tap, then after some water has sat in a bucket overnite, and what the pH is in your tank on an on going basis ?
This will determine whether or not you need to age water for wcs.
And you may not need to use RO water, depending on the results of the pH testing.
Oh, and I don't expect your cherry shrimps will last long in a discus tank. Perhaps the Amanos will though.
Hope this helps. Let us know the results of your testing.
The water our of the tap looks about 7. It usually drops a bit in my tank to 6.8 or sometimes lower. I have not tested it after waiting 24 hours and will try that tonight. Should I test it by just adding conditioner or also heat and aerator?
The amanos are like 3-4" now and hold their own. The cherry hide under the crevices but you're right, I'm sure the small and slow ones won't last. The GBR haven't touched them either which is surprising

When you get your discus, I'd recommend you stick to that minimum of 2 X 50% wcs per week, or more often if you can.
Yes, do the pH test after some conditioned tap water has sat in a container overnite. No need to heat or aerate it.
Based on what you have said so far about the pH, your water is not hard, and should be just fine without aging, or using RO water.
But do the test after tap water has sat overnite & let us know.
With that more or less neutral pH, it doesn't seem that you have high mineral content in the tap water, so it should be just fine.
But do test for GH & KH levels - your API test kit should enable you to that. Discus can handle various degrees/ranges of GH & KH, so I don't believe you would have any problem there.
Best of luck to you.
I hear great things about Hans and spoke with him for an hour or so and am convinced he is a stellar breeder. The discus from lfs were apparently caught by a breeder who is friends with the store owner and is also a judge in national discus competitions. I will ask store owner today for names as well as take pictures of them. They look to be about 4" on average. They also sell discus from Hans so I figured they could mix. I was not planning to buy juvies because I couldn't keep up with the parameters in a planted tank nor keep up with the feedings
4in discus are barely non-juvi discus. Also, Hans is an importer of Stenker discus. He does not breed though he does sell breeding pairs. They can be in the same store just like they can be in different parts of your house in different tanks. Combining tanks is more tricky. I would rather see you stock your tank with these 7 wilds and see how they fair. They may be more aggressive when you add new discus to the mix too. This is going to be a very wild (parden the pun) mix at the end of the day... Good luck.
I have thought about it but the tank I got came with 2 FX5s and a 406 so I decided to keep them instead of lose money on selling them used.
You can use those in conjunction with a sump if you chose. Honestly I would use them on non discus tanks and just go sump if I was you but its a personal prefrence of mine.
I planned to purchase all 7 now then wait a while to make sure I'm doing well and eventually have 12 or so. I will likely transfer the emperors into a 55 gallon im setting up at work so that would leave 12 discus, 25 rummys, probably up school of cardinals to 25 too, and the 12 coreys. Plus the BN pleco and farowella.
That should be fine as far as number but I just wish they were all from one source... Maybe keep the 7 in the 150 then go add 6 to your 55? You could use the FX's on the 55 if you go sump on the 150.
Your water change regiment is lacking. It needs to step up to 50% w/c or more every other day for these wilds. Your water tests are going to determine the rest needed. I would suggest purchasing a carbon block for the wilds if not an R/O. The 7 to 6.8 drop isnt a concern. Actually the drop down is better than a raise up.
I didn't realize discus were that different and understand the concern about mixing, especially wild vs tank raised. I will ask more questions and take pictures of the discus when I'm there later tonight and post in this thread. I will also do the PH test on conditioned tap out of the sink and some that has been aged over night and compare those to "normal" aquarium water right before a water change to see the variances. If they differ by 0.5 or more, I will research RO or carbon block. If not, I will use caution when changing water (not too quick) and make sure I keep up often - minimum 50% twice a week. I'll give some thought to changing out to sump especially once I have another tank to use up canisters on but for now, I will keep As-Is and will likely add the 406 filter once I get more fish.
For the record - I was definitely going to do more w/c once I got discus, especially 4" ones! For now I keep it to once a week mainly because I thought the plants would get established better and the current fish stock have been 20 - 40 nitrates for as long as I had them.Check out my 55 Gallon, planted, Philly themed community tank! Rummynose and Cardinals, dwarf cichlids, plecos, shrimps
Triple F...that's a new one! Yeah you guys here have been really helpful. I appreciate your advice and try my best to share with new aquarists as much as I can.
BTW - since I have your attention...)I have it up in another thread about creating depth in aquarium but I'll post here too) several people recommended keeping black background but warn against pigeon blood strains because they can pepper. My current blue background looks like it has scratches and I just purchased some oneshot to paint the glass black. This should make the plants and discus pop, especially with the natural sand color.
Here is link to current set up although I did change it slightly last night

Justin Aimone dog 46...Amateur trained.
Justin Aimone dog 46...Amateur trained.
John Lash
"If you run Field Trials, you learn to swallow your disappointment quickly."
"Field trials are not a game for good dogs. They're for great dogs with great training." E. Graham
I don't know if it is "special" recognition, but I think folks who are amateurs take note and give recognition to those dogs who have not been trained by pros and who have been trained and handled by their amateur owners and have done well. The amateur trained and handled dog deserves this recognition of their success as does their amateur owner-trainer-handler. Why? Because amateur trained and handled dogs who reach the National Am level are few and far between.
I think that is important and useful to recognize those dogs and their amateur owners because it gives every amateur to believe that they, too, can also be successful with their dog -- and be in a National Amateur some day.
Field trialing is a tough, competitive game. I don't have the percentage, but I will guess that most dogs running in Amateur stakes at weekend trials are dogs who have been pro trained. It's been my observation that the owner takes them off the pro's truck and runs them, and then they go back on the truck. Some are successful in the Amateur, some are not. There are FC's out there who have no AFC title.
Caveat: a successful amateur owner-handler on the West Coast is Andy Kahn. Andy has very good dogs who have had pro training since they were little. Andy also trains his dogs a lot with his pro trainer. He isn't just an owner who shows up Saturday morning to take his dogs off the truck to run them in the Amateur. Andy also worked hard to learn to become a good handler. Thus, Andy is an amateur-owner-handler who is successful. He works hard at it; he has earned his success which is why he qualified 3 dogs for this year's National Am.

I just don't think we need to make any change the the eligibility requirements for the Amateur stake to recognize these special amateurs and I doubt that if they thought about it they would want such a thing.
I also tip my hat to the few amateurs who, whether their dogs are pro or am trained, can take the dog and win opens with it. Many amateurs can win Ams but fewer can handle with the big dogs.
Re my caveat: another successful amateur owner-trainer-handler on the west coast is Michael Moore. The same things I said about Andy Kahn could be said about Michael. His dogs are good. They have received training by a pro, but Michael also trains his dogs. He worked hard to become a good handler. Michael Moore is an amateur who is successful. He works hard at it. I rank his bitch Brook as one of the best females that has ever run on the west coast. I am glad I have been able to watch her in trials since she was little. Now Brook is a Grand Old Lady running her umpteenth National Am. She's #115 and is going to be running the 6th series. Cheer for her. She deserves every accolade.
It can be done. I had two dogs in the 2005 National Am when I was retired and did all their training. I would get two bird boys and head to my land in Loyal OK, which has a thirty acre pond, great terrain, a really nice summer training spot in Oklahoma where you can run long marks in shallow water. Big league blinds too. I would run a complete field trial consisting of land triple, three peat land blinds, big water blinds, and a big triple water test. I also ran an ABCD drill every time out. We would be done in three hours and home by noon in the summer. My dogs were very competitive and one was an AFC.
Now I work and try to get in training at the house. I have a nice technical pond and some decent land, but it's not the same. The dogs know all the blinds and all the spots that marks ought to be thrown. I have often said that I have best non-trained dogs in our circuit! Time is the most precious commodity for an Amateur trainer with no pro help.

A lot of what everyone has said about this is true. I was wondering if there was an actual amateur trainer that has kinda done it on thier on. That seem to be to me someone that would really deserve the highest praise. To go up against such tough professionally trained dogs & come out the victor. They would really have to be very proud of themselves & that fine dog they have too.
It also would be nice even if there was only one event a year to have a truly amateur event. I really don't know how you could do that. When I think of amateur trained, I think of someone using more books, advice & help of that nature than paid labor & then I can take it from here type training. To the ones that are doing amateur style at that level WOW I really do wish I could do what you are doing. Very nice job guys & girls.
I don't know how you could get people to be honest enough to say thier dog is really amateur trained & it really be, but it would be nice for all amateur trainers to at least step to the line knowing that in this event there are going to be better dogs & better handlers than you, but it is because you a amateur trainer did not do as good a job with your dog as the next amateur. Not because 60 hours a week of professional training was behind your dog.
Just more of a level playing field.
I know we all have self confidence, but can you imagine being in the holding blind (Mr True Amateur) & at the line is Danny Farmer & behind you is Mike Lardy. Really! Nothing amateur about that.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary has concluded its investigation into an apparent stabbing Aug. 22 without an explanation of the incident or any charges laid.
A release issued this afternoon states police and rescue officials were called to the area on Freshwater Road at about 9:20 on a Friday morning. They found a 36-year-old man who appeared to have been stabbed. He was taken to hospital, treated and released.
The RNC says the wounded man refused to speak with police about the incident or about who might have caused the injuries. Police believe the two men know each other.
Man stabbed on Freshwater Road (Aug. 22)
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary is investigating a stabbing incident on Freshwater Road in St. John's this morning.
According to a police spokesman, a man suffered minor, non-life-threatening injuries and has been taken to hospital for medical treatment.
Although the victim sought help from an employee at Ches's restaurant, the RNC said the incident occurred further up Freshwater Road.
"The investigation is ongoing. Our initial concern was that he get medical treatment," the RNC spokesman said.

Can someone give me the steps they take when they move air to the call
As I recall, it took me a long while before I ever got a single note from a mouth call. I had become convinced that I just didn't have it far enough back in my mouth. The gag reflex was awful, but worse than that I was afraid if I put it back any further, I might accidently swallow it.
I resolved I was going to find out if it was just a matter of putting far enough back or not. I doubled over and put my head down low. Not sure if that really would have helped to prevent me from swallowing it or not, but it gave me some peace of mind at the time. I placed that call back further than ever and when I huffed, a little whistle came out.
That was the beginning right there. I'd found the magic. Once I'd gotten the first whistle out of the thing, it was relatively easy to do it again. And I never put it as far back either. Within a week I was driving everyone crazy at work. I had that call in my cheek all day long and I played with it constantly just cuz I could make sounds on it. I wouldn't just make turkey sounds either. I'd play "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". I'd play INXS, "I Need You Tonight". That's actually a real fun one. Three cuts and a long purr that you change the pitch up and down on. When you start doing stupid stuff like that, you learn how to manipulate a call. I could get sounds out of it even if it was off-center in my mouth, or up against my front teeth. We can all give you instruction, but you just have to play with it until you find the magic.
It's kind of like learning to throw a curveball. My dad always threw a mean one. As a little kid throwing the baseball with him I was amazed at how he could make the ball take that turn in flight. I must have asked him to show me how he did it thousands of times. ......And he showed me his grip and how he rolled his wrist in his throwing motion thousands of times. Still, I just couldn't make it happen.....not even a little bit. Then one day it broke ever so slightly to the left for me. It wasn't a hard break, but it was definitely a break form it's original trajectory. .....And I had finally discovered the magic.
Didn't take long after that until I had mastered it. By the time I got to high school I had a legitimate curveball that would suddenly dart down and away from a right handed hitter. It's magic, I tell ya ! .....Not really. It's physics. And so is using that mouthcall. Just don't give up, you'll get it.

As I was searching for St. Peter Barn Sale volunteers at the Kane County Fairgrounds this week, I got to get a sneak peak at some of the thousands of items for sale in the giant exhibition hall. The sale, which will be this Saturday and Sunday, will take up several building and took 14 semitrailers to unload the items.
I was mainly in the home decor and seasonal area and I couldn't help but do a little window shopping while I was there. I found some wreaths that would go great on the front door of my house and some cool clocks that reminded me of one my grandfather gave to my parents a few decades ago.
I could've spent hours there.

SuperAGILE detects a Gamma-Ray Burst associated with a Supernova
On December 11, 2011 at 22:17:33 UT the SuperAGILE hard X-ray monitor aboard the Italian AGILE satellite localized a Gamma Ray Burst, GRB 111211A (GCN #12666 F. Lazzarotto et al.). The GRB 111211A is the first event detected by SuperAGILE associated with a Supernova (GCN #12802 A. de Ugarte Postigo et al.).While an average number of about 200 - 300 GRBs are localised each year in the X-ray band, less than twenty firm associations with Supernovae are established up to now. The SuperAGILE GRB 111211A is a rare occurrence of a burst which appears to be accompanied by a Supernova explosion, and gives the opportunity to further investigate the GRB-Supernova connection.

AGILE resolves the mystery of the origin of cosmic rays
|The AGILE discovery in the Media
AGILE has discovered a pattern of gamma-ray emission from the Supernova Remnant W44 that can be unambiguosly attributed to accelerate protons smashing against surrounding gas. For many decades, a direct identification of sites in our galaxy where proton acceleration takes place has been elusive. The AGILE data resolves the problem of clearly identifying a source of energetic cosmic rays in our galaxy. The AGILE team reported these findings in the paper by Giuliani et al., ApJL, 742, L30, 2011.

AGILE discovery that the Crab Nebula is variable
|"Agile 'prende' il Granchio"
The Crab Nebula is certainly one of the most famous astronomical objects. It is at the center of a bright supernova that exploded in 1054 and was recorded by Chinese astronomers. It encloses now at its very center one of the most powerful pulsars. The Crab has been considered for decades as one of the strongest persistent X-ray and gamma-ray source in the sky and was then used as a standard calibration source in astrophysics. Therefore, when between Sept. 19 and Sept.21, 2010 the AGILE team detected a strongly enhanced gamma-ray emission from the Crab Nebula region (ATel # 2855) it provoked a sort of shock in the community. Following the AGILE discovery and the confirmation by Fermi/LAT on the following day (Atel #2861), many telescopes (Swift, INTEGRAL, Hubble, Chandra) have then pointed and are still pointing at the Crab, gathering precious information for precisely identifying the phenomenon.

3rd Circuit Court of Appeals Reverses Decision in Electrocution Death of SSG Ryan Maseth
I just received information this morning the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed Judge Nora Berry Fischer's decision to dismiss Cheryl Harris' wrongful death lawsuit against KBR.
Judge Nora Barry Fischer Opinion to Dismiss Harris vs KBR (pdf)
Many of you have been following this case since I started posting about it in 2008. Cheryl's son, 22 year old SSG Ryan Maseth, was electrocuted and died in a shower in his living quarters on January 2, 2008 in Baghdad, Irag. The electrocution was determined to be caused from a water pump that was improperly installed and not properly grounded by KBR.
KBR has always claimed the Army was responsible and that they (KBR) were protected by the Political Question Doctrine and immune from civil action. Well I guess that may not be the case.
I will update when I get more information! It looks like Cheryl Harris and Ryan Maseth just might get their day in court!!

Suit Over Pa. Soldier's Death in Iraq Is Revived-AP
Lawyer: Military's housing choice irrelevant
Brian Bowling – (TribLive News) – May 14, 2013 – A federal jury can determine whether a Defense contractor is responsible for the electrocution death of a Shaler soldier without second-guessing the military's choice of where to house troops in Iraq, a lawyer for the soldier's parents argued Tuesday.
The jury doesn't have to decide whether the Army made the right choice in housing Sgt. Ryan Maseth, 24, in a building with a substandard electrical system to determine whether KBR Inc. of Houston had the discretion to fix the water pump that electrocuted Maseth while he was taking a shower, said William Stickman.
If the jury decides the Army tied KBR's hands, "we simply lose," he told a three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which was hearing oral arguments in the Downtown federal courthouse.
Cheryl Harris of Cranberry and Douglas Maseth of Allison Park want the appeals court to reinstate their lawsuit against KBR Inc. for the Jan. 2, 2008, death of their son at the Radwaniyah Palace Complex in Iraq.

Wrongful-death lawsuit in Shaler soldier's electrocution dismissed
By Adam Brandolph
Published: Monday, July 16, 2012, 10:16 a.m.
The mother of a Shaler soldier electrocuted in Iraq said Monday she was "completely disappointed" and will appeal a federal judge's decision to dismiss the wrongful death lawsuit against the company she claims is responsible.
Cheryl Harris of Cranberry said the case involving her son, Ryan Maseth, didn't end when U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer on Friday dismissed the lawsuit against KBR Inc., a Houston-based engineering and construction company that contracted to maintain Army barracks in Iraq.
"We won't quit until there is nothing left to appeal," Harris said. "I was told that if I wanted justice, it would have to be in a courtroom. We expected that justice would prevail, but (the judge's dismissal) left me surprised and disappointed."
KBR spokesman John Elolf did not respond to requests for comment.
Harris and Douglas Maseth of Allison Park claim in the civil lawsuit that KBR's negligence led to the death of their son, Army Staff Sgt. Ryan Maseth, 24, on Jan. 2, 2008, while he was showering at the Radwaniyah Palace Complex, one of Saddam Hussein's palaces that was serving as a base for U.S. forces in Iraq.

No justice in the electrocution death of SSG Ryan Maseth (updated with Opinion)

Judge nixes lawsuit against KBR in GI's death
By Joe Mandak – The Associated Press
Posted : Monday Jul 16, 2012 14:52:13 EDT
PITTSBURGH — A military contractor cannot be held liable in the death of a soldier who was electrocuted in his barracks shower at an Army base in Iraq, a federal judge said in dismissing a lawsuit brought by Pittsburgh-area soldier's mother.
Houston-based military contractor KBR Inc. cannot be held liable in Staff Sgt. Ryan Maseth's death because military commanders — not the contractor — decided where to house soldiers and whether buildings with substandard electrical systems were suitable for troops, U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer said.
"As a contractor, KBR had no authority to order military personnel to do anything, including to direct soldiers where to live or shower," Fischer said in the 87-page opinion handed down late Friday. In it, she relied on military records and the sworn testimony of commanders taken in pretrial depositions.
William Stickman, an attorney for Cheryl Maseth, said he'll ask the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn Fischer's opinion, which he said was overly broad.
Stickman said the legal standards Fischer used are meant to immunize the military and its contractors from lawsuits should soldiers be harmed during combat-related duties, when normal levels of civil negligence might be impossible to police, but not from what he called "routine building support services."

I posted last week that I was heading to Iowa to hunt, I received a PM from an RTF member that lives in Iowa and not far from where I would be. After a couple of PM's I got a phone call and we decided to hunt together the first couple days. After a short time in the field it was like hunting with an old friend. He only had a couple hours both mornings do to his son's football games but we had good fun and got a couple birds.
John, Dozer is doing great for a young dog, remember what I said trust him he will get birds for you. Hope the game went well.
BTW: Thanks Chris for tool to make this possible.
